Chapter 64: The Promise Goes Missing
Xu Promise glanced at her with some doubts, she had not had much contact with Yan Shan before, this was the first time she had talked to Promise Promise, which made Promise a little nervous.
She couldn't help but think back to her work process, although she usually made some small mistakes, but she couldn't remember the mistakes in her eyes. What's more, I'm pressing the second report, so it's not late......
Thinking like this, she didn't feel a little weak, and secretly lowered her head, as if she was going to be the first to admit the precursor of her mistake. It's just that what she didn't notice was that when Yan Shan buried her head, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes that was difficult to hide, like two small flames growing wantonly in her eyes.
"That...... Miss Yan Shan, is there something you called me over?" Xu asked timidly, after all, the long-term psychological pressure was really self-torture for her.
Such an opening of the question brought Yan Shan back to her senses, and she forcibly extinguished the jealousy in her eyes and changed her usual serious face towards her subordinates.
"Oh...... The store manager just bought a batch of goods, and now he urgently needs help to count them, so I'll pull you over. Are you okay?" Although Yan Shan said a question, it was clearly a positive statement in her tone.
If the boss wants to dispatch his subordinates, naturally one sentence is enough. How can there be any excuse for promises?
So, she followed Yan Shan into a small path without knowing it. A bar trail she'd never been to. There was some darkness around the area, which made Promise feel a little eerie.
"That...... Miss Yan Shan, why aren't the lights turned on here...... Weird ......" she tried to speak, only irrepressible fear in her words. It's human instinct to be afraid of the dark.
At this time, Yan Shan secretly hooked the corners of her mouth.
"Oh, the light bulb is broken. I'll find someone to fix it tomorrow. She replied briefly to the question of promises, which sounded very reasonable and unrefutable.
Promise had no choice but to follow her closely, and although she exuded an aura of rejection of Promise, Promise was still afraid of falling behind her. Every now and then, the two will accidentally bump into each other. Yan Shan glanced at the promise several times in the dark with some disgust.
Finally, Yan Shan's footsteps stopped, and what appeared in front of them was a black and hollow room, which seemed to be abandoned.
"Naw. Here, you go in first, I'll look for the switch. Yan Shan smiled talkatively, her eyes sparkling.
Xu Promise obediently entered the small black room, not daring to resist in the slightest. And just as she fully entered the small dark room, the door was suddenly slammed shut, followed by the sound of impatient locking.
At this time, Xu Xu was completely flustered, and she hurried to knock on the door.
"Miss Yan Shan, what's the matter!Open the door!," she shouted, her words full of fear.
On the other side of the door, Yan Shan laughed wantonly, looking very mad in the dark space. Hmph, just scream, shout and cut your throat and no one will come back to save you. Now I have a reason to remember that you are absent from work!
He promised to hold the doorknob subconsciously, but the door was locked from the outside, and no matter how hard he tried to turn it, the door would not open. She knocked on the door reluctantly, hoping to be heard by someone outside. The knock on the door echoed rapidly on the path, but Yan Shan didn't even blink an eye.
She feigned surprise and shouted, "Oh! Why are you locked up? I'm going to get the key!"
Then, the sound of her steady footsteps rhythmically reached the ears of Promise. The sound beat like a drum in the heart of the promise with time, and I saw Yan Shan's slender figure go farther and farther until it disappeared around the corner of the corridor.
Xu Yu listened to her reply, and he was a little relieved. She leaned against the door with some weakness and slid down. The black oppression made her a little breathless. She bet all her hopes on Yan Shan. Counting the time silently in my heart, minute by minute, minute by second......
After a long, long time, there was no one in the aisle. Even the elongated shadows in the dim light were fluttering and ghostly. She touched her body a little anxiously, and took out her mobile phone with trembling hands, but at this time, it was as if God was deliberately playing tricks on her - her mobile phone was out of battery.
It's just that inadvertently, she suddenly recalled Yan Shan's words and deeds, and she frowned in an instant.
The heart that had been somewhat calm was beating nervously and rapidly. The horrible sound of the door locking was repeated over and over again in her head. She often locked the door, and if it weren't for fear taking over her sanity, she wouldn't have been unable to hear it. Now, she was sure it was the sound of a key in the hole and the door locked.
In other words, Yan Shan did it on purpose! But, why, why did she do it?
Promise wants to explore carefully, but at this time, his head is completely unable to function. Because in front of her is endless darkness, giving people a sense of imprisonment. She didn't dare to move, but felt her body tremble slightly. The heart is like being in an ice cave.
Her pupils constricted, and cold sweat gradually broke out from her forehead. She had tried to close her eyes, trying to pass the endless darkness by falling asleep. But she couldn't, because when she opened her eyes, it was black, and when she closed her eyes, it was black without change. The boxes of goods that were piled up in front of her gradually twisted into figures one by one.
It was as if she had returned to the days when she had been humiliated.
The spittle of the men was flying and they stood in front of her like this, and she could only shrink her body, hiding in the corner like a little hedgehog and shivering. Those she knew and those she didn't knew stretched out their fingers, pointed at her nose and scolded. It was as if she were a filth, a mistake that could never be erased.
Little by little of the past, the memories she least wanted to remember were like a flood that swept away her reason. The inferiority complex hidden in her heart is infinitely magnified, and she even distorts the clips from the thriller movies she has seen in the past into the most absurd reality along with those unbearable memories.
She didn't know what to do, whether to close her eyes or open them. It was like a nightmare, and she curled up abnormally. Even the original clear vision began to blur. It's like I can't tell the difference between reality and dreams. The stacked boxes of goods evolved into terrifying faceless monsters, gradually disintegrating the last psychological defenses of the promise.
She was on the verge of collapse.
……
At this time, on the other side, Wen Yan, who was used to looking at the promise figure as usual, was at ease, but he was looking for the missing promise as if he was crazy.
He searched all the places they had been to together, but only in bars. He tried to pry something out of the mouths of others that he might have missed, but everyone seemed to be colluding, and none of them were clear.
Either shake his head and shirk it, or remain silent. He clearly saw the hurried appearance of the promise when he came to report, but in the small time when he went to count the goods, the promise seemed to evaporate from the world, and suddenly disappeared. If Yan Shan hadn't stopped him, he would have closed the bar and turned this place upside down.
It's like digging three feet into the ground to find her.
Originally, he just thought that the promise might be something urgent, so he didn't say a word, and left without even asking for leave. This made him a little annoyed, but when he tried to call Promise, he found that no one answered. At this time, he faintly realized that something was not normal about this.
It seems to confirm something......
No wonder he had been in a state of panic all day, his heart beating like something was going to happen.
As a result, the inexplicable disappearance of the promise seems to confirm his thoughts. That's when he looks for people like this. He also approached Enron and asked him to try to contact and promise, but it was the same to no avail.
Yan Shan on the side saw Wen Yan's crazy appearance, but the alarm bell sounded in her heart. She didn't expect to make such a big fuss that she almost closed the bar. She swallowed a little guiltily. She tried to explain something to him, but after she took a few steps, she caught a glimpse of the gloomy look on Wen Yan's face, and she was so frightened that she couldn't say anything.
At this time, Wen Yan's eyes were terrifying as if they were about to eat people, and when she met his gaze, she would not hesitate to think that she was in the middle of the gloomy underworld. But Wen Yan looked away from him lightly, and his attention was never on Yan Shan's body.
Although she was a little reluctant, she was also relieved. Suddenly, she felt the strangeness of her palm, she opened her palm, and found that it was full of sticky sweat, but at this time, she didn't dare to wipe things on her body casually. After all, she is the main culprit, looking at Wen Yan's attentive appearance, if she is found out, she will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.
I have to say that she regretted it a little.
At this time, Yan Shan looked at Wen Yan who was running around a little nervously, and asked for a glass of water with a little weakness.
Even though most of the employees were mobilized to find the promise, she couldn't move because of her weak legs. It was also fortunate that Wen Yan, who was anxious at this time, didn't notice her, otherwise she would definitely be reprimanded by him. As soon as she thought of this, she couldn't stop cold-eyed.
Why did she promise to be valued by him like this, but she worked so hard herself, but she never got Wen Yan a straight eye. God is unfair!
As soon as she thought that Wen Yan, who was so gentle and elegant on weekdays, was now so nervous, she couldn't help but be angry. A woman's hostility towards a woman is like a natural one, especially a woman with a beautiful face is more susceptible to jealousy.
And what surprised her was that Wen Yan actually walked in her direction!
She had fantasized countless times about Wen Yan walking towards her, but it had never been as complicated as it was today. A wave of fear welled up on her face, and her hand holding the glass was a little unsteady.
"Xu ...... Promise her...... Did you find it?" she decided to strike first, anyway.
Wen Yan didn't seem to notice her panic, and shook his head a little annoyedly.
"Not yet—" His voice could only be heard to be a little tired, hoarse, and extraordinarily seductive.
didn't wait for Yan Shan to indulge in his gentleness for a moment, only to hear his last sentence, which almost frightened her out of her body.
"If I find out who did the good thing, I will definitely not let her have a good time!" I saw Wen Yan gritting his teeth, his face was different from the usual gentleness, and he looked extremely arrogant in the dim light. This made Yan Shan scared at first.
only heard a crisp cracking sound, and the two of them followed the sound at the same time. It was the glass that Yan Shan was holding in her hand that was broken, and the slag was lying on a pool of stagnant water, wailing incessantly, unspeakable pain. Yan Shan's face was dull, and after staying for a few seconds, she seemed to be awakened, and she looked panicked to find the dustpan.
And Wen Yan's sharp gaze was projected on her body, her eyes flashed, and a trace of inquiry crossed her eyes.
Yan Shan, who found the dustpan on the other side, didn't dare to go back, so she entrusted another colleague to help her clean it up. And she looked at the lively scene of people coming and going, and secretly thought to herself, ready to secretly find an opportunity to release the promise when the time came.
Thinking like this, her pounding heart had a direction.
It's just that in this calm and secretly turbulent bar, there are some people hiding here. They may be talking and laughing with others on the surface, and the next second they will immediately go out to stir up the troubled waters even more unsightly.
On the other hand, Wen Yan was going around and around, looking for it unremittingly. Finally, something out of the ordinary was discovered.
Although he looked at the black hallway, he seemed to have an answer in his heart. He took a few wary steps forward, his hands gradually pulling out of his trouser pockets, unconsciously moving his muscles.
At this time, several men who were secretly observing Wen Yan invariably put down their wine glasses. The originally harmonious conversation and laughter scene suddenly turned into a spy war atmosphere that can only be found in TV dramas. They no longer spoke, but made special eye contact, and from time to time they moved their fingers as if they were inadvertent.
They watched for a few seconds, and one of them, who seemed to be in the lead, suddenly lowered his head and raised it again. The people around him understood and immediately scattered in all directions. Although it seems to be a scattered operation, it is actually orderly. They deliberately slowed down, and followed Wen Yan as if they were careless, but in fact they were serious.
Wen Yan, he's in danger!
But now he was moving forward in a state of confusion, and he skilfully navigated through one corridor after another. He lowered his head and walked quickly, as if he noticed that someone was deliberately approaching. Even though he had been nimble enough to dodge, the men followed him closely.
"Damn!" he scolded, his eyes sparkling like silver blades.
Gradually, the footsteps behind him became more and more obvious, and it was obvious that they were going to confront him head-on. It's just that he is alone, and he can't compete with so many people. In a hurry, he could only speed up his pace again. Coincidentally, he paused and stopped in the room where he promised to be locked by Yan Shan.
Unexpectedly, before he could propose negotiations, those people knocked him unconscious and kicked him a few times. Then, as if for convenience, he was thrown into the room where the promise was. After that, he didn't know what happened, his eyes were closed, and he lost consciousness.
At this time, hiding in the corner, shivering promise, it seemed to be awakened by this loud noise.
She opened her eyelids in a daze, her head drooping, and she didn't have much energy. It seems to be still half-asleep and half-awake. It's just that she saw a little light in a trance, and this sudden light made her suddenly wake up.
Someone's coming!
She moved her ears vigilantly, and her heart was filled with uncontrollable joy. But just in case, she gradually bent down and slowly moved towards the place where there was light.
Although it was still dark around her, her eyes were accustomed to darkness, so she was fearless in such an environment, with a faint glimmer of hope in her heart.
It's just fate that makes people, and this light is quickly brought by the door. I heard a muffled sound, as if something had been thrown in.
Then came the sound of the door locking urgently. She screamed badly and quickly stood up in an attempt to stop the continuation of the doom. It's just that because of squatting for a long time and the lack of qi and blood supply, she suddenly felt dizzy.
Although she quickly shook her head at this time, by the time she came to her senses, the people outside the door had already locked the door and left. Like Yan Shan, what resounded in her ears was the sound of footsteps moving farther and farther away. Her already pale face had turned pale by this time. Is God really going to kill her?
Although it was useless to knock on the door at this point, she still tightened her grip on the doorknob and tried to smash it open with brute force. Perhaps those people were negligent and didn't keep the door right. However, none of these possibilities were successfully realized. The person who came just now locked the door very well, and she couldn't use brute force at all in her current state.
This environment had tormented her, and she felt like she was going crazy. She was a little irritated that things were not going well, and she kicked the door with some hatred. As a result, the door was not kicked, but it accidentally touched a foreign object.
The strange touch made her creepy, and although she wanted to scream, she couldn't make a sound in her throat at this time after not speaking for a long time.
Only then did she remember that the person who had just come seemed to have thrown something inside. Out of curiosity, Xu Yu bent down, suppressed the panic in his heart, and looked at the unknown object on the ground with a serious expression.
Because the room was so dim, she couldn't really make out what it was if she didn't get closer. Just looking at the shape of the unknown object, she speculated that it might be a man. Such strange thoughts slowly rose from the bottom of her heart, and a silent premonition dominated her reason.
"This ...... It can't be ......" she looked at the motionless man on the ground, her pupils constricted, "They're killing people......" Thinking like this, she was so frightened by her bold idea that she fell to the ground. And she looked at the black hole in the room, which seemed to confirm what she thought in her heart.
The wind whistling outside hit the windows from time to time, making an irregular noise of "thump". Frightened, she fluttered her legs and took a few steps back. It's just that I didn't expect that a few kicks accidentally kicked people's bodies. I heard the man snort.
"Ahhh The hands gradually lost their heat, and there were some spasms.
I saw that she kept retreating, and the man lying on the ground seemed to be kicked by her. He clutched his head, painfully reluctantly reluctantly reluctantly to his arms, and sat cross-legged. Then he leaned straight against the pile of goods. The goods were stacked relatively steadily, and they were not misplaced because of this.
"Shhh It's just that in the dimly lit room, it's hard to see his expression.
And the promise that was so startled by these things that he almost fainted.
"Live...... Alive?" she muttered, swallowing unconsciously. Then she reached out and caressed her heart, as if to comfort herself.
Then she moved her ears vigilantly, and noticed that the voice of the man next to her was very familiar. Her eyes widened, and she opened her mouth in Wen Yan's direction with some vigilance.
"Hey—you, who are you—" Her voice trembled, like a frightened bird. If there is a light, you can see that her eyes are full of panic, and her originally blood-colored double lips tremble slightly at this time. Sweat was already wetting her short hair at both sides.
And Wen Yan on the side was attracted by the voice of promise, although he was not fully awake at this time. Those people shot very hard, and almost killed him Wen Yan. Presumably someone ordered him to do so, so he didn't mess with him.
The crisp female voice drilled into his ears, only to see that he suddenly hit a spirit. Such a familiar feeling must have been the promise he had been looking for for a long time was not wrong! His originally cloudy eyes suddenly brightened.
"It's me, Wen Yan. He tried to make his voice sound as normal as possible, not wanting to scare her. It's just that his intimacy was not promised to be received, and the tiredness in his words was transmitted to her without reservation.
As soon as he heard that it was indeed Wen Yan's voice, the original grievances poured into his chest without reservation, his nose was sour, and tears quickly gathered in his eyes. When her vision was not very good, the world in her eyes became more and more blurred at this time.
However, with Wen Yan's existence, her originally turbulent heart has stabilized. When someone shares the darkness with her, she will naturally not be alone in fear. On the contrary, what she met was Wen Yan, and there was a small glimmer of joy that she hadn't even noticed.
On the other hand, Wen Yan on the side seemed to have found the direction where she was, and he moved towards here with a firm goal.
"Are you afraid of the dark?" could only hear his gentle tone resounding in the darkness, as if he was exploring the specific location of the promise.
At this time, Xu Promise nodded a little embarrassedly, and suddenly realized that he couldn't see his movements in the dark, so he let out a sullen "um". Then, she looked away, and the fawn in her chest thumped. I blushed unconsciously.
With the promised response, Wen Yan quickly found her place. Then he sat next to her. The leg that had promised to be a little numb by his fright, now moved a little unnaturally to other places, as if it could be moved.
"Don't be afraid. I'm here. Another soothing word sounded, but at this time it was in the ear of promise. When she heard this, her star-bright eyes flashed. Wen Yan's words struck at her heart, so that she no longer had to bear the devastated darkness alone.
