Chapter Ninety-Three: The Ritual
It was close to the morning when I left the empty shopping mall, and I had been unable to bear the overconsumption of my body after several days of insomnia, so I fell asleep in Gu Liang's car. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Didi, Didi, Didi..." The phone kept ringing, and I opened my eyes with difficulty to find the source of the sound.
Suddenly, an outstretched arm crossed in front of me and picked up the phone on the table, skillfully swiping the screen to turn off the alarm.
My eyes widened in horror and I rolled my stiff neck a little.
Gu Liang was lying behind him and hugging me, and his handsome face was leaning against my ear.
The muttered whisper, "Let's sleep a little longer." ”
I'm just hehe, how can I sleep here!! Even though it's an unmarried relationship, I haven't been able to accept the habit of sleeping with others. Of course, Katsuten was an exception.
I tried to break free from him, but he hugged him tighter, and looked at me with slightly open eyes: "Don't go." ”
It's not that I want to go, it's that I'm afraid that I can't control the restless heart in my body if I don't go.
Calm down! Calm down! Be calm, don't be impulsive!
"I・・I go to the toilet..." I panicked and took away Gu Liang's hand on me, I didn't have time to put on my slippers, and hid in the bathroom with a smoke.
What to do? Do I brush my teeth and take a shower before going out? Isn't it a little too fast? But I'm not ready to talk to him... Oops~~ It's too entangled~~
Washing my face with cold water in the sink, I felt like my heartbeat was back to normal.
We're all adults, lying down and sleeping together all night without doing anything, why am I nervous?
Calm down and returned to the bedroom, Gu Liang was folding the quilt next to the bed.
"Uh, aren't you sleeping too?" I scratched my messy hair and said with some embarrassment.
"We still have very important things to do today, and since you're all up, let's go back to the book house together."
"Huh? But I still have to go to work. ”
Gu Liang put down the folded quilt and looked back at me: "Hmm~ Then your company's building will have a power outage today." ”
I pouted helplessly, he was really the 'sun', and the earth had to revolve around him.
After resting for a few hours, I couldn't make up for the sleep I owed, so I followed Liang back to the book house with two dark circles under his eyes.
I was curious about the ritual he was talking about, and felt that it was becoming less and less like I had begun to think. Maybe it has nothing to do with getting engaged or getting married.
The two open doors on the second floor of the bookstore, I remember, were where all the books were placed. Gu Liang opened the huge door with both hands and walked cautiously to the platform.
When I looked at the books, I felt dizzy.
There are countless seemingly narrow stairs around the books placed on each floor, but in fact they are the same width as ordinary stairs, and maybe even larger, but they are set off by the huge curtain-like bookshelves around them.
Gu Liang walked in front and looked back at me from time to time, asking me to be careful not to look into the cliff-like black hole next to me.
I didn't know how many books there were in the bottomless darkness, and I began to feel a little scared, my legs weak, and one hand clutching the guardrail next to me.
"Hold on a little longer, do you see the platform up there?" Gu Liang turned sideways and pointed to a platform on a high place.
Ah~~ It looks like it's seven or eight stories high~~ I think I'll be able to walk there soon.
I continued to follow him up the mountain, which was really nothing compared to climbing a mountain, but the surroundings were too confusing. Finally stepping onto the last step, I gasped for breath with my eyes closed.
I heard the sound of the door opening, and I slowly opened my eyes and saw two dark red doors being pushed open by Gu Liang. It's similar to where I just came, if I wasn't sure I'd climbed this high, I would have mistakenly thought it was the door to the library.
I was amazed by everything here and wondered what the hell was behind the door.
A dark passageway, with golden candlesticks on either side of the wall at intervals, and the flames that seem to burn all year round. There were two closed doors in the depths of the passage, and I couldn't make out the patterns on them, but I simply thought they were very old.
Rituals・・・Gu Liang's ritual must not be simple, he can't sacrifice me to some god, right?
I suddenly recalled the old Taoist signature in "Qing Ke", and he told me to be careful not to be framed.
It's over, it's over, I'm starting to think about it, and almost all the bad assumptions go through in my head.
Gu Liang didn't notice my abnormality at all, he took my hand and walked straight to the ancient gate.
"I, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm not going to..."
He glanced back at me and wrapped his arms around me.
"Don't be afraid, it'll be over soon."
Who can not be afraid of him saying this, I am about to cry, thinking that I am only twenty-four years old, although I will be almost twenty-five soon, but after all, I am still young.
Did he take me shopping last night to fulfill my last wish? It allows me to accept the call of death with peace of mind.
Woo woo woo ・・・ I don't want to die yet...
"Don't think about it, just stand in the corner and wait for a while." Gu Liang seemed to see my thoughts, and flicked my forehead lightly.
Well, believe him this time, and if I run, I guess there is no place in this world that can take me in.
Slowly approaching the ancient gate with heavy steps.
The gray stone door is carved with strange words, this kind of thing is obviously not a modern product, I am afraid it must be thousands of years old.
Gu Liang walked between the two stone doors, looked up at the words on them, and muttered strange language in his mouth.
The words on the door began to glow faintly, and I could see God, because what was in front of me was so strange and magical.
He also chants mantras?? Sure enough, people can't look like the sea can't fight, what a profound man.
With a creaking sound and falling lime, two large stone doors slowly opened.
I nervously looked inside, and I couldn't see clearly in the pitch black.
Gu Liang took out a lighter from his coat pocket, squatted down at the door, and lit a faint flame close to the ground.
Suddenly, a long line of outline sprang out, growing towards the depths of darkness at a very fast speed, and it seemed to reach the center and began to spread in the other four directions, and soon these flames that extended along a certain pattern crawled all over the walls and the ceiling, and the space was immediately lit up.
The golden glow of the fire formed a huge silk screen that allowed me to see the barn-like room clearly.
Walking in slowly, I no longer felt afraid. (To be continued.) )
