Chapter 4 Ask Three Questions
When I woke up, my eyes were white.
Surrounded by whitewashed walls, I lay on the only bed in my room, and the sheets were still spotlessly white when I touched the sheets underneath me.
What the? Is this a hospital?
I got out of bed and found myself still wrapped in a towel that had come out, and I couldn't help but frown. No, if it's a hospital, the nurse should be able to change my hospital gown.
When I opened the door and walked out, my doubts deepened.
This is the living room, the empty four walls are the same as the room I came out of, except for the configured kitchen, there is not a single piece of furniture, and even the kitchen does not seem to have much in it.
The whole room lacks the breath of living habitation.
"What the hell is this place?" I twisted my eyebrows and thought about it carefully, and with a little effort, the face of the hanged man with a long scarlet tongue came to mind, and I was so frightened that I quickly shook my head to block the picture.
There wasn't even a chair in the living room, and I stood for a while, feeling a dry throat and a little thirsty, and stood for a few seconds and walked into the kitchen.
The white counter was clean, and when I opened the cupboard, I saw that there was nothing as expected.
After searching for a long time, I finally found a glass in one of the cabinets above. The cup sat there, I raised my eyebrows and took the cup to the pool to get water.
After taking a sip of water, I looked around and heard footsteps in my ears.
I stopped and quietly walked out of the kitchen, getting closer and closer to the living room. Is it the owner of the house who has returned?
Boom, snap.
The door opened.
I was inexplicably nervous, my mouth was getting drier and drier, and I was about to take another sip of the glass, when suddenly there was a slack, and the glass slipped out of my hand and shattered on the ground.
At the same time, someone from outside walked in.
looked about twenty-five or sixteen years old, white shirt, black trousers, except for a pair of old-fashioned black cloth shoes on his feet, the whole person was very handsome.
"That," I looked at his pretty face, then at the glass shards on the floor, feeling a little guilty, "I'm sorry I accidentally dropped your cup." ”
He glanced at the ground and then looked up at me again, one hand in his trouser pocket, his sleeve rolled up to reveal a wrist with a string of beads on it.
There seemed to be some words engraved on the bead, and I couldn't see it too far away.
No one spoke, and the scene was awkwardly silent.
I licked my dry lips and asked him, "You saved me yesterday?" You have Buddhist beads on your wrist, right? "Indeed, in my memory, there was a figure who saved me from the Hanged Man.
It's him.
Hearing this, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he seemed to look at me squarely, his face was so white that his pupils became darker and darker, and he was somewhat uncomfortable stared at by such a pair of eyes.
Then his gaze moved down, and he seemed to stop.
I looked down and saw that my entire shoulders were exposed in a bath towel, and my face immediately showed embarrassment.
"There's clothes in the cupboard over there." He spoke, the first time I had heard his voice, not in a low tone, with a coldness.
Wrapped in a bath towel in front of a strange man and talking for so long, God knows I'm embarrassed to death,.
"Oh." I walked towards the room I had just walked out of, and when I reached for the door, I found that I couldn't hold the doorknob.
After several attempts without success, I was so anxious that my palms were sweating: "What's the matter?" "I scratched at the doorknob a few times, it was so weird, how did it feel like I was scratching the air.
"How?" He seemed to sense that something was wrong, and there was a faint doubt in his voice.
I became more and more nervous: "No, nothing. As he replied, he put his hands and feet together, trying to hold it against the door, but he didn't expect something more strange to happen.
My knee against the door and my hand gripping the handle seemed to pass through the door and vanished.
"W-What's going on!?" I looked at my half-lost limbs in amazement, and looked back at him in a hurry, but I happened to meet his inquiring eyes, and my heart tightened, and I didn't stand firm and didn't focus on it, and I fell down completely.
"Ah......h I lay on the floor, looking at the four white walls and the only bed, which was clearly inside the room!
Look back at the door behind you. I'm I, I'm going through that door?
Outside, the doorknob snapped, and he opened it, standing in the doorway with a deep gaze.
I stood up with a shudder, and finally showed my guard against this strange and handsome man. "I, what's wrong with me? Why do you walk through the door? You...... And who? ”
He moved, and my tense nerves involuntarily tightened: "Don't come here!" ”
He stopped, and I shuddered and took a few steps back: "The red light on the bus yesterday and the one who killed the hanged ghost were you, right?" Why help me? What exactly is your purpose? Why do I see those things? ”
I threw out the questions one by one, and my thinking became clearer and clearer.
I was in trouble twice, and he saved me both times, how could there be such a coincidence, which means that he followed me earlier. By the way, I was watched when I went to withdraw money, could it be him?
Thinking of this, my spine was cold, and my voice involuntarily became louder: "Speak! ”
Perhaps it was my sharp voice that made him uncomfortable, he frowned and exited the door: "Come out." He walked along, and then said to me, who hesitated, "Get dressed first." ”
I gritted my teeth and thought about it, took out a white shirt from the closet, put it on, and went to the living room.
He leaned against the wall and waited for me, and when he saw me come out, he tilted his head slightly, and his voice was cold: "You can ask three questions." ”
Three questions are how to be enough. I'm going to retort: "No......"
He turned his head sideways, his tired dark eyes were extremely serious, his eyes were oppressive, I was numb by him, and the words in his mouth involuntarily turned around.
"Okay, okay."
Three is three, I thought about it, and asked the main question: "What did I just do?" ”
He leaned against the wall, one long leg slightly bent: "Your earth soul has been scattered. ”
I was stunned, and subconsciously asked, "What earth soul?" ”
He kept his posture unchanged, his tone was still so indifferent, and explained to me: "People have three souls and seven souls, the three souls refer to heaven, earth, and life, the life soul is the main soul of the human body, the main light of the heavenly soul, and the earth soul is the shadow formed by the light of the heavenly soul shining on the human life soul, and the earth soul is also called the shadow soul. ”
I listened in a daze, and actually understood the point: "Shadow Soul? You mean my shadow has been scattered? ”
"That's fine." He straightened up.
What do you mean by me understanding this? I hurried a few steps forward: "What do you mean?" How can my shadow be dissipated? Who the hell are you, and how do you know these strange things? And those ......."
"Hey, you're talking!" Things are so unusual, I desperate for answers, it seems a bit aggressive.
But he was very calm, glanced at me, and said something that almost choked me to death: "There are only three questions, and you have already asked them." ”
"You ......"
"I can help you recover your Earth Soul. Now I'm going out and you stay here. He said as he walked towards the door.
"What?!" Just kidding, what are you doing here. I don't want to chase after me: "You explain it to me first, hey......"
He held the doorknob, and his side face was dazzling white in the sun: "Bai Ming'an." ”
Bai Ming'an, his name? I was stunned, and then I heard him say, "Stay here and wait for me to come back." Then the door opened, and it slammed shut again.
After he left, I was left alone in the snow-white living room, and the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became.
First of all, I don't trust him. Although he saved me in the past two days, it doesn't mean that he is not worthy of suspicion, after all, he appeared too coincidentally, and I don't know anything about him.
After thinking about it for a few minutes, I made a decision, I can't stay here and wait to be killed, who knows if he has some ulterior motives?
Bai Ming'an seemed to be very confident, and I didn't even lock the door, so I walked out easily.
