In fact, this thing is a bit like monthly reading. I have read it, but not completely.
Because Tsukuyomi only pulls people's consciousness to another space, while the barrier pulls the whole person in, and wherever the red moon goes, it is covered by the barrier, even if it leaves the hotel, it is useless.
I had no choice but to hide my doubts and head upstairs to see what trick Mr. Zhuo was playing.
Time has passed and I am no longer the same person I used to be.
When I first encountered the barrier, I was completely in a state of panic.
So when I meet it again now, well, it’s not going anywhere, I’m still a little panicked.
What's more, I'm still confused, because if I remember correctly, this thing is obviously Mr. Zhuo's specialty. Even if she is fighting with others, there is no reason for me to be in this barrier.
Could it be that she wanted to take action against me, capture me while I was alone, and use it to threaten Mr. Shen and Liu Changsheng?
No way, if that were the case, the two eldest brothers could beat the shit out of her.
This hotel has seven floors in total. The first and second floors are private rooms and banquet halls, and the third and above floors are all guest rooms.
I planned to go up the stairs one by one, but before I had taken a few steps up the stairs, I saw Zhang Qi walking down the stairs.
She exclaimed as soon as we met and immediately threw herself into my arms: "Ah! I finally found you. Where are you?"
I didn't rush to push her away, but looked around upstairs.
When I found no one there, I frowned and asked her, "Why are you here? Where is the person with you? Why aren't you two together?"
Zhang Qi looked like she was in shock. She trembled and replied: "I don't know either. Just after we talked, she said she wanted to go out to see something and asked me to stay in the room and wait.
As a result, after waiting for almost ten minutes, she still didn't come back, so I thought of going downstairs to find you first, but as soon as I walked out, I found that there was no one in the entire hotel, including outside. I couldn't get through to you on the phone, and the sky was also red, which was pretty cool.
I was so scared that I didn’t dare to go out.”
I asked her again: "What happened after that? You just kept hanging around the hotel?"
Zhang Qi snorted: "Yes, I originally wanted to go back to the room and hide, but it was too quiet there, so quiet that it made people panic. I couldn't stay any longer, so I ran out again."
I was even more confused. If Zhuo really wanted to attack me, what was the point of trapping Zhang Qi in her as well?
And I'm already in the barrier, and there's no help around me, so why hasn't he shown up yet?
"Let's not stand here anymore."
Zhang Qi hugged my arm tightly: "This place is eerie. How about we go back to the room and hide it?"
She makes me feel so weird.
So I asked her: "You are not an ordinary person, so you are still afraid of these things?"
Zhang Qi shook her head: "I'm not afraid of ghosts or death, I'm afraid of loneliness. This feeling of being alone and feeling abandoned by the whole world almost makes me collapse."
I don't know how to answer her words.
I thought there was no point in just standing there, so I told her, okay, let's go back to your room first. I wanted to see what the person surnamed Zhuo was up to.
As Zhang Qi said, the entire hotel was extremely quiet, without a trace of noise.
Here you can only hear your own heartbeat and heavy breathing. This feeling is very depressing. Not to mention her, even I can't accept it.
We walked back to the room side by side. I originally wanted to ask Zhang Qi what she had just talked about with Mr. Zhuo, but I didn't expect that as soon as the door closed, she hugged me behind her.
"We won't be stuck here forever."
Like a kitten, she kept rubbing her head on my back, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.
I organized my language and wanted to explain the principle of this barrier to her, but Zhang Qi said again: "But it doesn't matter even if I am trapped here, as long as you are in my heart, I will be at ease."
"Hey, can you stop nagging me like this?"
I broke free from her hand: "You didn't take what I just said to your heart at all!"
"It's not that I don't take it seriously, it's that I really want to stay with you."
She pursed her lips and looked at me with that aggrieved look: "Have you ever experienced what it's like to live alone in a foreign country? It's normal to have no relatives, no friends, unfamiliar places, being picked on by classmates and made things difficult by the landlord.
At that time, I thought, it would be great if you were by my side.
Really, I think about you every day in London besides going to class, eating, and sleeping. You have become my spiritual sustenance. Whenever I am about to collapse, I tell myself in my heart that I must persevere and become better.
I will come back to you later. If it weren’t for this belief, I wouldn’t be able to survive.”
What she said was quite affectionate, and the look she looked at me was also very gentle, more affectionate than looking at her own son.
But I was really not moved. Not only was I not moved, I also had goosebumps.
To put it bluntly, whether you insist or not and for whom does it have anything to do with me? Isn’t it a bit too much to kidnap me morally for unilateral efforts?
So I didn't answer the call, lit a cigarette and sat on the sofa in the room.
But Zhang Qi still wasn't going to let me go. She sat opposite me and said, "What should I do if I'm still unwilling? As you just said, you can change what I like about you, and I can also change what you don't like about me.
ah.
Seeing as I have liked you for so long, give me a chance."
I don't really want to talk to her.
But she kept looking at me with that expectant look, and as soon as she stopped talking, the air in the room became eerily quiet again.
When it was time to pass the time, I exhaled a puff of smoke: "Are you a love brain or what? Everything can be related to emotions. You went to study abroad to improve yourself. If you persist, you will also work hard for your own future. What does it have to do with me? Don't
Can you say it as if I owe you?
Besides, what's the point of living alone? I lost my memory not long after I graduated from college. Until the end of last year, I didn't sleep and eat by myself that day? You can still make a phone call or start a video with your parents. I can't even talk to my dad.
Mom can't remember anyone.
If it's more miserable, then I can only say that my pain is greater than yours, but do you think I'm complaining?
Life is not easy. How many of you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth? If you can't bear this little hardship, then I can only say that you are really hypocritical."
I said rejection more than once, and I was really impatient, so I didn’t leave any room for her in my words.
But Zhang Qi didn't seem angry at all, and even looked at me with a smile in her eyes.
She listened quietly to what I said, and then she stood up from her chair: "Is this your last statement?"
I didn't respond, I just said yes.
She asked again: "What I just said didn't move you at all?"
I nodded: "Really not, because what you did has nothing to do with me."
"Oh well."
Zhang Qi suddenly sighed and said quietly: "Since you are so heartless, don't blame me for not missing our old relationship."
