"Excuse me, Comrade Qiu Wan, what time is it now?"
I planned to see for myself who was waiting for me, so I asked the time and it was estimated to be around eight o'clock in the evening.
Qiu Wan glanced at the computer under the reception desk and said to me: "It's 21:58 standard time in the East Eighth District. Wanderer, it's getting late now. Get some rest as soon as possible."
"Okay, thank you." This time was a bit unexpected. I didn't expect that I would be delayed in the market for such a long time.
I immediately took out my room card and walked to the passage to the right of the reception desk leading to the accommodation center.
Compared to the hustle and bustle of the market, this passage, which is about fifty meters long and six or seven meters wide, seems particularly deserted. Perhaps because the market has not yet dispersed, there are only two or three people passing by within my sight.
At the end is a crossroads, and it seems that the room extends endlessly from the front, left, and right directions, and there is an upward staircase at the rear left. The door of the room is similar to the access control door of a mid-to-high-end hotel, but it has an extra electronic screen that I don't know what it is used for. The walls are covered with beige wallpaper and brown carpet.
Such a shelter center even makes people doubt that they have returned to Earth.
But I'm still at an impasse. The access card says room 015 on the second floor, but the doors here all say first floor. After walking around a few times, there were no stairs or any other place to go upstairs.
"I don't quite understand... Where can I go to the second floor here? Hey, there is a duty room there, go and ask."
I noticed that there was a duty room built into the wall like a side door to my right rear, so I knocked on the window and asked.
"Dong dong dong, is there anyone?"
The window was opened, and there was a middle-aged female on duty. She was wearing a uniform similar to that of Old Nov at the side door.
"BNTG is at your service, do you need anything?"
"Excuse me, how to get to room 015 on the second floor?" I asked.
"Ah, easy to handle. You put the access card there, and it will automatically sense the access card and go directly to the door of your room." She pointed to a square instrument stuck on the wall and gave me a bag. "It's your first time to settle in. Here are your basic daily necessities. Grab them."
I accepted the "newbie gift bag" and said thank you. Inside are toothpaste, toothbrushes, bath soap, simple clothes and other small items, which are printed with "MEG" printed on them. Although these items are not as important as food, this is still very attractive.
Immediately, I walked to the instrument next to the duty room.
"What wonderful experience will you have this time?" I closed my eyes and put the access card in the sensing area.
Five seconds passed...ten seconds...twenty seconds...
"Eh? Why didn't you respond?" I thought to myself.
When I opened my eyes, I saw the words "Second Floor 015" written on the sign in front of me.
I:……
I just realized that I was in front of room 015. Good guy, is this a senseless teleportation? !
I looked around. To the left was an endless corridor, and not far to the right was the duty room and a T-junction. The doors of the room are densely distributed on both sides. On the ceiling, a relatively warm music is played in a loop. I have heard this song, it seems to be called "A Burning Memory".
I turned my eyes to Room 015 in front of me and placed the access card on the sensor. I was a little expectant and a little nervous. Who is waiting for me in a place like this?
"Hey, the lock was opened successfully."
The moment I opened the door, I stared at the familiar man and woman in front of me with wide eyes.
The boy had long, messy hair. I saw my smile was very warm, like a warm sun, and gradually the smell of sunshine began to appear, and my tall and strong figure came into view.
The girl's thin shoulders slightly shrugged twice, her big eyes were crystal clear and moist, her hair was soft and smooth, and her white and rosy face was as cute as a kitten's appearance.
The boy said to me in a magnetic and excited voice.
"Is it...Wang Xiaoqing?"
I greeted him with a big stride: "Li Tianlu, you damn, you have been a good brother for a year, didn't you recognize it? It's me!"
"Hahaha, you kid can find this place so quickly." Li Tianlu said mockingly at me.
"Fuck you..." I rolled my eyes at him.
Suddenly, a mature, steady, yet elegant voice came from the upper bunk on the left:
"Hey~ why is friendship suddenly more important than family ties? Don't you look at your biological sister? Also, aren't you and I not familiar?"
I took a look and saw that the man on the upper bunk on the left was half lying on the bed. His left hand was fisted on the bed rail, supporting his head, and his right hand was naturally placed on his raised right leg. The fingers are slender and strong, as if they have been baptized by chess, calligraphy and painting. His eyes are deep and steady, and his face is soft and full, exuding a calm and unhurried atmosphere.
"Hey, it's not Ouyang Mo, and you two, did you form a group to come here to seek death??!"
