Surrounded by a circle of steel ring-shaped tables, there are more than a dozen oval crystal balls arranged on the flat tabletop.
These crystal balls are slightly larger than a human head and are carried on the table by wooden brackets below. Most of them emit a faint green light.
There was no electric light in the dark room, and the dozen or so glowing crystal balls were not bright. The strange green light intertwined with each other made the dark room feel chilly.
What made Mu Zhi feel even more chilled was inside the crystal ball.
Inside each lit crystal ball there is something slowly flowing, similar to smoke. This is not scary at all. What is scary is that the smoke gradually forms a human face as it surges.
Soon, all the faces in the crystal balls that were lit appeared one after another, and they all looked at each other in unpredictable ways.
These smoky faces have empty eye sockets and dull expressions, as if they are opening their mouths to tell something.
Mo Zhirao is a staunch materialist who has received quality education since childhood, but being stared at by a group of "ghost"-like faces still made his neck feel cold.
And the face of the crystal ball in the middle is the girl outside who calls herself "Xiaoya"!
Although the human face formed by the smoke is not very clear, sometimes gathering and sometimes drifting away, it is unpredictable and can be determined by just one glance.
This face is so perfect!
Mu Zhi endured his headache and the shock caused by the strange scene in front of him, gritted his teeth and approached the table step by step.
On the wooden support under the "Xiaoya" crystal ball, there are two rows of small characters that are not very obvious.
The first row is:
"Daddy has always missed you, my dear daughter."
The second row is:
"We will be together forever!"
This is written by the old liar Qiao Bushu. If he is really her father as "Xiaoya" said.
Unpredictable remained silent, but his heart suddenly moved, and he checked the other crystal balls in turn.
The wooden supports of the two non-luminous crystal balls read:
"The Smiling Assassin O'Bryth";
"Dark Chef Tu Xiong"
The five non-luminous wooden pallets read:
"The Five Brothers of the Han Family".
The other crystal balls that were lit also had unknown names written on them, until the last crystal ball had a row of words on its wooden support:
"Wang Dalong Shenghua's new doorman"
Unpredictable rubbed the words with his fingers, his face gloomy as he endured a headache. He thought of that possibility!
These crystal balls contain "souls"!
That's right, it should be the soul of the dead!
The old liar Qiao Budie didn’t know for what purpose or what method he used to preserve the souls of these dead people;
Most of these souls can be possessed by him using some unknown contract ability to objects or human bodies, allowing these people to regain physical bodies and become staff members of the Shenghua Hotel below.
This is mainly because the bodies of the smiling assassin O'Bryth as the lobby manager, the dark chef Tu Xiong as the restaurant chef, and the five pottery figurines of the Han family brothers were destroyed by themselves, so temporarily
It does not emit the green light of other souls.
That’s how it should be!
This darkroom is the "soul storage room" used to preserve these people, and these crystal balls are the soul storage.
Why does the old liar do this?
The unpredictable gaze fell on the crystal ball in the center, which was the one belonging to "Xiaoya".
She is Qiao's immortal daughter. Even her biological daughter was placed in a soul container?
At this moment, Qiao Budie's shout suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Asshole! Come out!"
He had recovered, and at some point he appeared at the door, shouting at the unknown person in the dark room.
He looked nervous, and the obscene expression that had always been on his face disappeared, replaced by panic.
He didn't even open the dark space, he just appeared in front of the door.
Outside the door, Xiaoya's voice sounded at the same time:
"Dad, why did you end up like this?"
"Xiaoya, go outside!" The old liar turned around and shouted to his daughter, then turned around and continued to stare at the unpredictable, saying again and again:
"Armistice! Armistice! I won't fight!"
"Come out quickly! I'll let you go. I don't want the money anymore."
Mu Zhi clenched his pistol tightly and shouted at him first
"You originally planned to capture me after you recovered, but you called me a little bastard!"
"And you are worried about me coming to this secret room!"
Pay the price first, otherwise you will soon be unable to bear it, and the unpredictable headache will turn from a gurgling stream to a roaring tsunami.
After saying these two sentences, his brain suddenly felt relaxed, and he felt so comfortable that he felt unpredictable. The expression on his face did not move at all, and he said in a deep voice:
"I'm not going out!"
It is obvious that the old liar really cares about this secret room, otherwise he would have taken action just now. He is worried that if he continues to fight, these "soul" crystals will be destroyed.
There is his daughter in here!
Unless the old liar is confident that he can instantly control the unpredictable, then it is possible to take action against him. However, after several battles with Qiao Bushi, it is also clear that this kid is extremely cunning, and even an episode of emotional obsession can be used as a
arms
In a one-on-one situation, it is indeed possible to solve the unpredictable situation, but it is too difficult to control him instantly.
After understanding this, he naturally chose to refuse - all the "souls" in this secret room are hostages. If he gets out, who knows if Qiao will take action if he doesn't die?
By that time, even if the opponent regrets, there is nothing he can do. The previous confrontation has already made Mo Zhi understand that he will not be able to survive a few rounds under Qiao Bu's hand.
Mu Zhi leaned back on the solid table and repeated:
"Get out. Haha, I can't beat you!"
"You even said you wouldn't fight anymore!" Seeing the unpredictable look on his face, Qiao Buzi became furious:
"I will let you go. I will keep my word and will not lie to you!"
"What the hell?"
Unexpectedly, he couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't dare to let go of his finger on the trigger, and shouted to Qiao Budie outside the door:
"If someone else said this, I would still consider it, you? Are you embarrassed to be honest with me?"
"Integrity. Let's forget it! It's not just you, neither of us can match this good quality. If I say I'm not lying to you, how can you believe it?"
The old liar was speechless for a moment. He felt that what the other party said seemed reasonable, and his anxiety turned to anger:
"Then what else do you want?"
Mo Zhi rolled his eyes: "How do I know?"
"Let me think about it. Unless you let me roar now and you fall to the ground, I will shoot you two more times and throw you from the top floor."
"I'll barely consider getting out of here!"
The old liar was stunned by unpredictable designs. He immediately stamped his feet, pointed at unpredictable and cursed:
"This won't work! What if I jump down and you have evil intentions towards my daughter?"
"Also, my house is full of valuable things. How can you guarantee that you won't take two of them?"
Hearing this, Mu Zhi's eyebrows twitched and he said to the door:
"Only a ghost is interested in your daughter. I am not a lustful person or a gangster!"
"I won't even touch trash like you! I guarantee it with my personality!"
"Fart!" Qiao Bushit shouted angrily upon hearing this, pointing at Mo Zhi with a strange expression:
"You and I are talking about personality? Do you have personality? What is the difference between you and me talking about personality and me and you talking about integrity?"
"You can't see your own expression, I saw it! When you just spoke, your eyes were looking around. You are already thinking about stealing something from me!"
"Then let's just waste it!" Unpredictable counterattacked, complaining through gritted teeth: You see, it's so difficult for two people with no character to cooperate!
"You" Qiao Busei gritted his teeth and raised his hand, as if he wanted to use the talisman against Mu Zhi, but his arm was frozen in the air for a long time, unable to make a move.
Still don’t dare to take action!
Seeing this, Mu Bo immediately put the muzzle of his gun against "Xiaoya's" soul crystal.
As long as Qiao dares to make any move, pull the trigger immediately.
The painting style suddenly became a bit strange. The old liar who had lived for thousands of years suddenly felt that the unpredictable person in front of him was the exiled contractor, and he threatened the old man himself with a gun and a hostage.
This was the first time in his thousand-year life that he felt like this.
However, when he saw the unpredictable muzzle attached directly to "Xiaoya's" soul crystal, he suddenly roared:
"Don't touch!"
It's a pity that it's too late to say this
Mu Zhi already felt that something was wrong, and there was a tearing pain deep in his soul.
He turned his eyes to the hand holding the gun and was surprised.
The smoke in "Xiaoya's" soul crystal actually accelerated, and a few strands of dark green "soul" actually overflowed from the crystal and quickly climbed up her arm.
Green smoke curled up in his right hand holding the gun. No, it was not just Xiaoya's soul smoke, but the smoke was also spreading in his own hand, intertwined with Xiaoya's soul smoke, and actually merged together.
Unpredictable wanted to scream, but he felt that his consciousness was hit hard and pulled by a huge suction force. The tearing pain increased in vain, and his vision went black in pain.
The old liar was furious when he saw this. He stepped through the door in two steps, stretched out his hand, pulled out a knife from nowhere, and chopped off the unpredictable arm.
Blood spattered, and the right hand that was holding the pistol and pointing at the "Soul Crystal" was suddenly cut off.
Unexpectedly, his vision went dark, and he fainted after letting out a cry of pain.
Outside the door, Xiaoya, who had gone out obediently, looked at the situation inside with surprise and uncertainty.
This was the first time she had seen her father look so embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, the silly girl who was almost as beautiful as him hesitated for a moment and then walked out of the door.
Xiaobai walked up to Xiaoya again and looked at Xiaoya who was also confused with his doubtful eyes.
Xiaoya felt a little uncomfortable being looked at and asked hesitantly:
"Who are you? What's your name?"
"Bai!" Xiaobai said softly.
"Bai?" Xiaoya murmured the name and asked again:
"Who are you?"
When Xiaobai heard this, his confused eyes became even more hollow. He seemed to have been thinking for a long time and said slowly:
"He is the bad guy. I am his wife."
This strange answer made Xiaoya frown. Is the stranger who just entered a bad person?
Yes, he is a bad guy!
His clothes were in tatters and covered in blood. He didn't look like a good person at first glance, but the silly girl in front of him clearly looked harmless.
She is actually the wife of that bad guy? How could that bad guy have such a beautiful wife?
Iron God!
Xiaoya stretched out her hand, took Xiaobai's weak and boneless little hand, and said:
"You must be having a hard time!"
Xiaobai was even more confused. She looked at Xiaoya and seemed to be thinking with all her strength. After a long time, she slowly said:
"I'm not bitter! I'm a bad person now."
"Are you suffering? Your past and mine are the same."
Xiaoya once again couldn't understand this strange sentence. She opened her mouth, but she couldn't think of where to start.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a headache.
Pain as if the soul was being torn apart instantly flowed through the body.
She cried out in pain and fell to the ground, sweat pouring out from her forehead.
Her vision turned black and she felt like she was going to faint.
At this time, she saw her father's figure emerging from the door. His steps were hurried, his beard and hair were flying, and his face was full of pain and unwillingness.
"Xiaoya."
My father seemed to be calling me.
"Xiaoya."
"Xiaoya."
Father's voice became quieter and quieter.
She lost consciousness.
The unpredictable feeling is like floating on the sea, rising and falling with the waves.
My thinking is very confusing.
It was pitch black before my eyes.
He didn't know how long it took, but he felt something penetrate into the depths of his consciousness.
It is a long but blurry image.
An image of ripples.
Long and clear. This clarity does not refer to the image, but to empathize with the content in the image.
This is like a first-person perspective story, a girl's life.
It all started with hazy memories, until the images became clearer and clearer.
".my home."
"In a place called Hot Spring City, Shenghua Hotel is my home."
"There is a father and a mother at home."
"I never quite understand why my father is different from other children's fathers.
"What's different? It seems that my father is so old, his hair and beard are all white."
"He always has a weird smile on his face. When he smiles, the corners of his eyes are full of wrinkles, which makes him look very uncomfortable."
"However, I seemed to get used to it later. I got used to the fact that my father loved me very much. Every time he showed that smile, he would give me many gifts. My father loved me very much."
"Mom. My mother is so beautiful. She is young and beautiful, and she is very gentle to me. I always feel that the two of them don't match well together."
"Dad's age seems to be mom's dad, hehehe."
"But it doesn't matter! Mom loves dad very much, and dad loves mom very much, and they both love me!"
"Since we were little, our family has lived in this small room. We have lived a peaceful and warm life."
"I grew up quickly and went to school. My father sent me to the private school next door. My father said that I was the best daughter."
"My father is very rich. He doesn't seem to work much, but the family has a lot of money to spend. It wasn't until later that I realized that the Shenghua Hotel turned out to be my father's property and our family's property."
"No wonder my mother doesn't have to go to work, she stays at home and takes care of me every day."
