"Then what? What happened?" Sang Xiaotian continued to ask.
Luo Yan rubbed his eyebrows and said, "I... don't remember much. I seem to have escaped, otherwise I wouldn't be here."
Bai Xiaosheng said gently: "Mr. Luo, please pass your hand to me."
"Ah? Oh." Luo Yan was stunned for a moment, then handed over his hand honestly.
Bai Xiaosheng held his hand and began to carefully sense the other person's body and soul.
After half a minute, he let go and asked: "Mr. Luo, do you think this is reality or a dream?"
Luo Yan stiffened and smiled bitterly: "I know what you mean, but I don't think it's important."
"Oh?" Sang Xiaotian raised his eyebrows, "Why?"
Luo Yan took a bottle of beer and poured himself a glass with a comfortable expression: "There is everything here, food and drink, and you will not be tortured. I like it here."
Bai Xiaosheng said in surprise: "But don't you think it's weird here? Duplicate people and duplicate rooms? It's like a big prison."
"So what? Speaking of which...it's not a prison."
While drinking, Luo Yan muttered, "I just want to stay here, until I die."
"Okay." Sang Xiaotian nodded and said, "You have a good rest here while we walk around."
After saying that, he pulled Bai Xiaosheng and walked towards the next banquet hall.
When leaving, Bai Xiaosheng looked back at Luo Yan, his childish eyes shining slightly.
"squeak..."
The door was pushed open. Sang Xiaotian turned back to Bai Xiaosheng and asked, "How is it? Did you see anything?"
The latter nodded: "Most of his soul has disintegrated, only a little bit, almost like the dummies in the banquet hall."
If what I expected is correct, Luo Yan's soul has been corrupted by some kind of force."
Sang Xiaotian crossed his chest and crossed his arms: "According to what he said, before he got here, he definitely weighed more than 200 kilograms. Now... he probably only weighs just over 100 kilograms."
Bai Xiaosheng thought: "I don't know if the things he ate are real food."
Sang Xiaotian touched his chin and said: "A person weighing 200 pounds can survive for a long time even if he does not eat any food and relies only on his body weight. But without water, he will die in a few days."
"Yes, if the food is fake, is the water real? This spiritual world is really weird." Bai Xiaosheng frowned in confusion.
"There must be some mechanism that we don't understand that is maintaining his life."
"Mr. Bai, we must stay vigilant and never touch the food and drinks here. Even those dummies, don't have physical contact with them now." Sang Xiaotian raised his head and said with a serious expression.
"Yeah." Bai Xiaosheng nodded.
In this way, the two of them walked through the halls without stopping.
It wasn't until nearly an hour later that they suddenly heard a strange sound in their ears.
Like, coming from a far, far away place.
Woo——
All~~
All~~~
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Bai Xiaosheng's expression changed slightly and he suddenly turned to look behind him.
No...there's one above too.
That’s not right either… there’s this sound coming from below too.
It seems like... there's something approaching here at a very fast speed.
This strange sound came from all directions.
…
In the corner of the hall, Luo Yan was still eating various delicacies, as if his stomach could never be full.
He raised his head, smiled and greeted the beautiful blond girl sitting elegantly opposite: "Alice, last time you said you wanted to learn to dance, okay, I'll teach you later."
The blond girl has a pretty face and looks to be only eighteen or nineteen years old.
When she heard Luo Yan's words, she immediately smiled happily, holding her chin in her hands and talking to Luo Yan in a cheerful tone.
And Luo Yan... was actually able to understand it, and even listened and responded at the same time.
If Bai Xiaosheng and Bai Xiaosheng were here, they would be surprised to find that the language spoken by this beautiful girl is completely meaningless chirping.
The few luxuriously dressed gentlemen and ladies around looked at this completely mismatched man and woman and did not laugh at them at all, but showed kind smiles.
"What? You want to introduce me to your parents? This, this I..."
Luo Yan was shocked by the girl's sudden words and touched her cheek in embarrassment, her expression very embarrassed.
Seeing his appearance, the girl smiled even sweeter, stood up suddenly, grabbed Luo Yan's hand, pursed her lips and dragged him toward the dance floor.
Tread...tap...tap...
The sound of footsteps is crisp.
Luo Yan, who was dragged to the center of the hall by the girl, lowered his head in embarrassment, as if he was not used to the lively scene around him.
But he still stiffened his body and took the girl's hand and danced.
At this time, the exciting music at the scene also began to become soothing and moving, and the light gradually dimmed.
Seeing this situation, Luo Yan seemed to have thought of something, her expression suddenly darkened, and she couldn't help but look up at the big golden clock hanging on the wall.
23:05
"The banquet will be over in less than an hour." Luo Yan murmured.
He knew that this lovely girl with a charming smile in front of him would forget him again in an hour.
The banquet time will return to 12 noon.
actually……
This is the 1653rd time Luo Yan has ‘met’ the blonde girl Alice.
Every time he spent time with Alice, it was only twelve hours.
Twelve hours later, he will become a stranger in the girl's eyes again.
A stranger who always... loves girls deeply.
despair...
despair...
despair...
The second hand of the clock ticked one after another, and Luo Yan skillfully pulled Alice to dance.
There was a sudden click, and his left little finger was accidentally twisted.
The bone stubble pierced the flesh and came out of the body, but there was no trace of blood, and even the muscle faults were pale.
Luo Yan didn't pay attention, and easily twisted the severed finger back to its original position, and continued to talk, laugh, and dance with Alice, who was unfamiliar with her skills.
In fact, from the 927th time he met Alice, he completely lost his sense of pain, his blood dried up, and his body's vitality was rapidly losing.
From the 650th time he met Alice, he was finally able to understand her words.
The 426th time she met Anna, she... finally responded to him.
Time seems to have returned to the moment when I first entered this hall.
No strife, no deception, no poverty or hunger.
There is only twelve hours in the world, and there is no time for oppression and sin to be born.
In this world, even if he gradually loses weight and becomes neither human nor ghost, so what?
Clock - 00:00.
The world will return to its original point, everyone will be still, and only Luo Yan can move freely.
He looked at Alice's beautiful face carefully, sighed, and said softly: "See you later."
Woo~~~~
A distant buzzing sound came, and Luo Yan was suddenly awakened.
"Huh? What sound!"
He looked surprised and looked around, but found nothing unusual.
I can only hear the sound getting closer and closer.
