In front of me is a small darkroom.
Surrounded by a circle of steel ring-shaped tables, there are more than a dozen egg-shaped crystal balls arranged on the flat tabletop.
Change first and then change
These crystal balls are slightly larger than a human head and are carried on the table by wooden brackets made 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.
And what makes the unpredictable feeling even more chilling is... what's 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, all staring at the incomprehensible.
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.
The face in the middle crystal ball...is the girl outside who calls herself "Xiaoya"!
Although the faces formed by the smoke are not very clear, sometimes gathering and sometimes drifting away, it is unpredictable and can be determined by just one glance.
This face... is perfect!
Unable to endure the headache and the shock caused by the strange scene in front of him, he 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 was written by the old liar Qiao Bushu. If he is really as "Xiaoya" said, he is her father.
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 respectively:
"O'Bryth the Smiling Assassin";
“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 the wooden support:
"Wang Dalong... Shenghua's new doorman"
Unexpectedly rubbed the words with his fingers, his face was gloomy despite his headache, and he was silent... He thought of that possibility!
These crystal balls contain souls!
That's right, it's the soul of the dead!
These people are already dead!
The old liar, Joe Immortal, does not know for what purpose or what method he uses 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 their bodies or the bodies of objects, allowing them to become staff members of the Shenghua Hotel below.
This is mainly due to the smiling assassin Oblaith who is the lobby manager, the dark chef Tu Xiong who is the restaurant chef, and the five pottery figurines of the Han family's five brothers...these people's bodies were destroyed by themselves , so the green light of other souls is not emitted for the time being.
It should be...that's it!
This dark room is the "soul storage room" used to preserve these people, and these crystal balls are the soul storage rooms.
Why would 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 is in the soul container holding these crystals?
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 unpredictable people in the dark room.
He looked nervous at this time, 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, how 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:
"Ceasefire! Ceasefire! I won't fight!"
"Come out quickly! I'll let you go. I don't need 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. The unpredictable headache has turned from a gurgling brook to a roaring tsunami, and you are already struggling to support it.
After saying these two sentences, his brain suddenly felt relaxed, and he felt so comfortable that he felt unpredictable... However, 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 here.
Unless the old liar is confident that he can control the unpredictable in an instant, then it is possible to take action against him. However, after several battles with Qiao Bushi, it is clear that this kid is extremely cunning, and even an episode of emotional obsession can be used as a weapon. arms...
In a one-on-one situation, it is indeed possible to solve the unpredictable situation, but it is too difficult to control the unpredictable situation in an instant.
Unpredictable is not stupid. After understanding this, of course he chose to refuse.
All the "souls" in this secret room are his hostages. If he gets out... who knows if Qiao Budie will take action against him!
By that time, even if the other party regrets, there is nothing he can do. The previous confrontation has made Mo Zhi understand that he will not be able to go a few rounds under Qiao Busui.
Unpredictable leaned back, leaning on the solid table, and repeated:
"Get out...hehe, I can't beat you!"
"You even said you wouldn't fight anymore!" Qiao Busui suddenly became furious when he saw the unpredictable look:
"I will let you go. I will keep my word and will not lie to you!"
"What the hell..."
Unpredictable couldn't laugh or cry, and did not dare to let go of his finger on the trigger. He shouted to Qiao Busui outside the door:
"If someone else said this, would I still consider it? Are you honest with me?"
"Integrity... let's forget it! It's not just you, neither of us can match this good quality... I said I didn't lie to you, can you believe it?"
The old liar was speechless for a moment, feeling that what the other party said seemed reasonable... However, his anxiety had turned into 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 fall to the ground... I will shoot you two more times and throw you from the top of the building... .”
"I'll barely consider getting out of here!"
The old liar was stunned by Mu Zhi's repeated designs. He immediately stamped his feet, pointed at Mu Zhi and cursed:
"This won't work! What if I jump down and you do something wrong to 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 suddenly jumped and he said to the door:
"Only a ghost is interested in your daughter. I am not a lustful person or a gangster!"
"And you trash...I won't move! 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 your eyes looking around when you just spoke... You are already thinking about stealing my thing!"
"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 Busui gritted his teeth and raised his hand, as if he wanted to use the talisman source on Mu Zhi, but his arm was frozen in the air for a long time, unable to make a move.
Seeing this, Mu Bo immediately put his gun to "Xiaoya's" soul crystal...
As long as Qiao dares to make any changes, he will 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 himself as an old man with a gun and a hostage.
This was the first time in his thousand years of life that he felt like this.
However, when he saw the unpredictable muzzle of the gun directly attached to "Xiaoya's" soul crystal, he suddenly roared:
"Don't touch it!"
It's a pity that this sentence is over...
Unpredictable 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 suddenly shocked.
The smoke in "Xiaoya's" soul crystal actually accelerated, and a few wisps of dark green "soul" spilled out of the crystal and quickly climbed up her arm.
Green smoke curled up from his right hand holding the gun. No, it was not just Xiaoya's soul smoke, but the injury was also dispersing the smoke, intertwined with Xiaoya's soul smoke, and actually merged together.
Unpredictable wanted to scream, but he felt as if his consciousness had been hit hard and pulled by a huge suction force. The pain of tearing 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, reached out and pulled out a knife from nowhere, and slashed directly at 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 after a cry of pain...
Fainted.
.........
Outside the door, Xiaoya obediently went out and looked at the situation inside with surprise.
This was the first time she had seen her father look so embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, after hesitating for a moment, the silly girl who was almost as beautiful as himself also 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 and asked hesitantly:
"Who are you? What's your name?"
"Bai!" Xiaobai said softly.
"Bai..." Xiaoya murmured and repeated Xiaobai's 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. Was 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 didn't look like a bad person at all. She clearly looked harmless to humans and animals.
She turned out to be the bad guy's wife? 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 have a...bad guy... now."
"Are you... suffering? Your... past... is the same... as mine..."
Xiaoya couldn't understand this strange words again. She opened her mouth, but she couldn't think of where to start.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a headache.
A severe headache accompanied by pain like soul tearing 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..."
The 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.
The consciousness is very confused.
Everything was dark.
He didn't know how long it took, but he felt something penetrate into the depths of his soul...
It is a long but blurry image.
An image of ripples.
Long and clear...
This clarity does not refer to the image, but to empathizing with the content in the image.
This is like a first-person perspective story, a girl's life...
It all started as a hazy memory, until... the images became clearer and clearer.
"...my home."
"In a place called Hot Spring City, the top floor of Shenghua Hotel...is my home."
"There's a daddy... and a mommy at home."
"I have never quite understood why my father is different from other children's fathers...
"What's different? It seems...my father is so old, his hair and beard are all white..."
"He always has a weird smile on his face, and when he smiles, the corners of his eyes are full of wrinkles, which looks very uncomfortable..."
"However, I seemed to get used to it later. I got used to it...Dad loved me very much. Every time he showed that smile, he would give me a lot of gifts...Dad loved me very much."
"Mom...my mother is so beautiful, young and beautiful, and very gentle to me...I always feel that two people don't seem to match well together..."
"Dad...he seems to be mom's dad at this age, hehehehe..."
"But it doesn't matter! Mom loves dad very much, dad also 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 endless money... 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..."
