Chapter 166: The Girl Who Waits for Others
"Click......
The door of the room on the top floor of the hotel opens in response.
Glancing at Jiang Hui who pushed open the door, Lian Ge stepped into the hotel room, and behind him, several people followed.
The room seems to be very quiet, and the corridor separated by only one wall seems to be two worlds.
Even the footsteps of Lian Ge and the others did not change this quietness.
Feeling the cold feeling brought by the lingering yin qi, Lian Ge glanced at the room in front of him,
This is a suite, and when you enter the room, you will find the living room.
Like the period that appears outside the hotel, the dΓ©cor in the living room is a reminder of the age, with sofas and carpets, carved decorations on the walls, and lamps on the ceiling, all in the style of the last century.
β...... I wanted to take my wife and Guoguo and enjoy it, so I opened the best room here, who knows......"
Yu Mingzhi, who was standing next to Guoguo, looked at the room and said loudly,
Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at Yu Mingzhi, but did not answer, and continued to look at the room in front of him,
Perhaps because of the shade, even though it was daytime, the light from the window only barely illuminated the room, and the whole room still looked a little dark.
"Smack. β
Stretched out his hand and pressed the switch in the next room, and the lamps above the ceiling suddenly lit up.
Some dim lights illuminated the whole room, but they didn't bring the slightest warmth.
Glancing at the living room, Lian Ge's eyes looked at the two doors next to the living room, at this moment, the two doors were closed,
After a pause, Lian Ge moved his steps and walked towards one of the doors, and beside him, Gu Xiaoying followed closely.
Behind him, Yu Mingzhi looked at his wife and daughter, and also walked over.
β...... Mr. Lian, this is Guoguo's room before, but after sleeping in this room for one night, the next night Guoguo said that she wanted to sleep with us, and asked her why she didn't say ......"
Yu Mingzhi's body trembled slightly, but after looking at his wife and daughter, he forcibly restrained himself.
Hearing this, Lian Ge didn't look back, stared at the gloomy door in front of him, stretched out his hand and held the doorknob,
β...... Brother, I'm afraid ......" Guoguo clutched Lian Ge's clothes, her eyes showed fear, fear,
After lowering his head and smiling at Guoguo, Lian Ge retracted his gaze, without pausing, unscrewed the doorknob and pushed the door open.
"Click...... Boom. β
The door collided with the side wall, and the scene behind the door suddenly came into view.
This is a pink-themed children's room, full of fairy tale style,
The inside of the house, like the outside, seemed quiet, but the moment the door was opened, a bone-chilling chill made Gu Xiaoying and Yu Mingzhi's family next to Lian Ge tremble,
β...... Lian Ge, is it ......" Gu Xiaoying looked at the quiet room in front of her, listened to the sound of the door gently hitting the side wall, and asked out loud.
Hearing this, Lian Ge didn't look back, still staring at the room in front of him and nodded.
On the side, Guoguo, who was clutching Lian Ge's clothes, had already hid behind Lian Ge, tightly hugging the guinea pig in his arms.
......
At this moment, in Lian Ge's sight,
At the moment when the door was opened, a figure appeared behind the door,
This is a girl wearing a red embroidered cotton jacket, which is still patched and stained with some dust and debris.
Barefoot, there are still some marks that seem to be abrasions on the instep of the ankles, and the broken skin of the wound is like a cotton jacket, stained with ash.
He wore a ponytail and was also a little gray on his braids.
This is a little girl who looks only a year or two older than Guoguo, half of her face still has some childlike redness, and the other half of her face is infected and inflamed, rotting flesh, and thick water mixed with blood is constantly dripping.
After opening the door, the moment she saw Guoguo, a happy smile appeared on her face,
"Guoguo, you're back......"
But then, as Guoguo hid behind Lian Ge, her gaze gradually dimmed, lowered her head, and fell silent.
"Can you talk?"
Lian Ge looked at the girl in front of him, and after a slight pause on her face, she said aloud.
Hearing the sound, the girl suddenly raised her head and followed the voice to look over,
"Brother, can you see me too?" The girl's voice was a little surprised, and she took two steps towards Lian Ge, but then she seemed to think of something, paused again, and lowered her head.
"Mr. Lian, are you ......"
On the side, Yu Mingzhi watched Lian Ge talking to the empty room, and couldn't help but ask,
"Brother is talking to that sister......," Guoguo, who was hugging the mouse tightly behind him, said in a trembling voice.
Hearing this, Yu Mingzhi couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Lian Ge glanced at Yu Mingzhi, didn't say much, retracted his gaze, and looked at the girl in the room again,
"Yes, I can see it. Lian Ge answered, and at the same time moved his steps, stepped into the room, and walked to the girl.
Hearing this, the girl raised her head again, looked at Lian Ge who was close in front of her, and paused.
Lian Ge's eyes did not dodge, he looked directly at the little girl's half-normal, half-rotten face, and smiled at it.
"Brother, aren't you afraid?" the girl raised her head, looked at Lian Ge and asked,
"Don't be afraid. Lian Ge shook his head, "You have neither resentment nor anger in you, why should I be afraid?"
"But my face ......," the girl said, bowing her head again,
"It's fine. Lian Ge shook his head and said with a slight smile, "You just have some dust on your face, it's better than having dust on your heart." β
When the girl heard this, she seemed a little ignorant, but Lian Ge was really not afraid of her, and she was still a little surprised.
"Brother, thank you......"
Hearing this, Lian Ge smiled slightly and bent down,
"May I ask you what's your name?"
"Fluttershy, my mom and dad and brother call me Fluttershy. Fluttershy replied crisply,
"Fluttershy, right," Lian Ge simply crouched down, "Do you know the underworld?"
"You know, when you die, you have to go there. β
"Then why are you here?" asked Lian Ge, looking at Fluttershy.
Hearing this, Fluttershy didn't answer directly, and after looking at Lian Ge, she glanced at the Guoguo family outside the door.
"Brother, are you Guoguo's parents looking for me?" Fluttershy asks as she looks at Lian Ge.
Hearing this, Lian Ge looked at Fluttershy, and after a pause, he shook his head slightly,
"It's not. β
"Then I'll tell my brother. Fluttershy looks into Lian Ge's eyes and replies,
"I'm waiting for someone. β
"Waiting for whom?"
"Wait for my brother, wait for my brother to come back and pick me up. Fluttershy replies,
"So I can't go anywhere, so I'm going to wait here until my brother comes back. β
Hearing this, Lian Ge looked at Fluttershy, paused slightly, and then continued to ask,
"Can you tell me how long you've been waiting?"
β...... I don't know, I just remember that in the beginning, it wasn't like this here, there weren't so many high-rise buildings. Fluttershy shook her head,
"What is your brother doing?" said Lian Ge, looking at Fluttershy.
β...... My father and mother told me that my brother had gone to war. Originally, my father said he was going, but my brother said that he was old, so he went. My mother didn't want my brother to go, but my brother said...... Everyone else is bullying to the door, he must go......"
"When I was leaving, my brother told me to study hard, and when he came back, he would take me to a place where there would be no war, no hunger...... But now he's going to create such a place. β
"I'll listen to my brother, study hard, and wait for him to ......"
"Now I've been waiting for a place like this, right?"
β...... However, my brother still hasn't come back......"
Fluttershy's crisp voice rings in Lian Ge's ears as she speaks, lowering her head.
