Chapter 21 Overtime Night
Since the showdown between Xie Jiachen and Cheng Xin, Cheng Xin has approached Xie Xiaoyi with all his might.
He didn't deliberately approach Xie Jiachen to make her disappear, but his real purpose was to eat Xie Jiachen.
A touch of crippled consciousness conceived by loneliness can cultivate into a human form in a short period of time, and the energy contained in its body is huge, if it eats her, Cheng Xin can grow at least a few hundred years of cultivation, and he will naturally not let her go.
It has been more than a month since he came to work in Chengxin, and the relationship between Xie Xiaoyi and Cheng Xin has become more ambiguous, and many colleagues around him will always cast strange eyes, feeling that Xie Xiaoyi is a sugar daddy and overwhelmed.
Recently, the two have gradually gotten closer, which also makes Xie Jiachen more worried.
On the one hand, he was worried that Cheng Xin would hurt his sister, and on the other hand, he was afraid that he would disappear.
In fact, she also thought about asking Linhai Station for help, but they wouldn't do murderous business, and the asking price was extremely high, Xie Jiachen had no choice but to give up this idea.
The past few days have not been peaceful, and for Xie Jiachen, her sister has paid a lot less attention to herself, which makes her more and more afraid of disappearing from this world.
At first, she only disappeared for a few hours, but now, the longest time she has disappeared has reached one day, and if she continues like this, I am afraid that it will not be far from Xie Xiaoyi completely forgetting her.
We can't sit back any longer.
She finally made up her mind.
β¦β¦
The mansion at night is bleak.
In the empty corridor, the white frost from the moonlight shining through the glass reflected on the ground, exuding a cold air that pressed against people's hearts.
In this floor, only Xie Xiaoyi should be working overtime.
A faint light shone out of the light bulb overhead, forming a circle of light on Xie Xiaoyi's seat.
This is the first time she has worked overtime since she came to work in Chengxin Group, it is nine o'clock at night, she is the only one left in the office, and the piles of documents on the desk cover her, just like her heart, tormented by pressure.
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but the light above my head has dimmed a lot.
Xie Xiaoyi looked up, but she didn't see anything unusual, she only wondered for a few seconds, and then buried herself in work again.
It's July, and the air-conditioned office should be very cool and cold, but for some reason, Xie Xiaoyi actually felt a little hot, and after she continued to work hard for more than half an hour, a few beads of sweat the size of beans slipped from her forehead.
I actually sweated.
Stretching out her hand to wipe off the sweat, Xie Xiaoyi got up, intending to see if there was something wrong with the air conditioner, but after walking around, she found that all the air outlets of the central air conditioner were hot air.
Could it be that the air conditioner is broken?
Xie Xiaoyi only felt that her luck was too bad, not to mention working overtime until the latest, and she also encountered such an unlucky thing as a broken air conditioner.
Now that the work at hand is almost done, it is better to hurry up and finish it quickly, and get off work quickly.
I was about to continue to do business, but I heard a loud "bang".
is the direction on the other side of the corridor.
There is a public bathroom, and it is also the last place Xie Xiaoyi wants to go at night.
You know, the toilet is a classic place for horror movies. Hair grows in the sink, lights flicker on and off, and red heels in the toilet room.
Xie Xiaoyi shuddered, not daring to think about these creepy things anymore.
But the more I don't want to think about it, the more it burrows into its head.
Sand, sand, sand β
In the quiet corridor, there was a sudden sound of dragging things, which bloomed like a loudspeaker in the night, and the strange sound continued to echo in Xie Xiaoyi's mind, until it stopped, it was still lingering above her head.
Xie Xiaoyi suddenly realized that the place where the sound was stopped was outside the glass door of the office!
Who's going to be there at night?
The heart was beating very fast, almost the next second it was about to pop out of her throat, Xie Xiaoyi tried her best to calm down, and instinctively leaned against the wall.
Just as she was hesitating to take a look, there was a knock on the glass door.
The already dead floor was broken by this knock on the door, like ripples in the water, slowly shaking around.
"Xiaoyi?" Outside the door, it was Cheng Xin's voice.
His gentle and calm voice hit Xie Xiaoyi's heart like a tranquilizer, she immediately relaxed, her tense nerves relaxed, exhaled, and went to open the door for Cheng Xin.
The glass door of the office is not purely transparent, the upper part is made of transparent glass, and the lower part is frosted material, so when people stand on the side, they can only see the upper half of the body, and only some vague shadows can be seen below.
Walking to the door, Cheng Xin smiled and waved his hand to Xie Xiaoyi, saying that he didn't bring an access card, so he couldn't get in.
Due to the dim light, Xie Xiaoyi didn't notice that there was a black thing at his feet, and she even forgot the rustling sound coming from the corridor before, and in an unsuspecting situation, she actually opened the door.
"Xiaoyi, why did it take so long to open the door?" Cheng Xin grinned at the corners of his mouth, but Xie Xiaoyi couldn't see the sincerity in his eyes, his eyes were cold, and he was cold.
She didn't answer Cheng Xin's words, just because her attention was completely attracted by what was at his feet.
That was a person, Xie Xiaoyi had the impression that he was a security guard on duty at night, he was still wearing a uniform, but he was lying at Cheng Xin's feet, and it seemed that he had fainted.
In other words, he was dragged over by Cheng Xin......
What exactly is he going to do?
"How...... What's going on......" Xie Xiaoyi's voice trembled a little, her limbs seemed to be nailed to the ground, and she was so scared that she couldn't move.
Cheng Xin was still smiling, leaning against the door, and looked at her sideways: "This security guard is fine, just fainted, and the monitoring in the building has been turned off by me, and no one will disturb us." β
"What are you going to do......" Xie Xiaoyi finally raised her leg and took a step back, but her movements were extremely stiff.
"I won't hurt you, but you have to help me and call your good sister over." He suddenly approached, and Xie Xiaoyi sat on the ground in fright.
The air conditioner continued to blow hot air, and the air was filled with a sticky smell, and the wet hair on his forehead was attached to Xie Xiaoyi's pale face, with a kind of embarrassing beauty.
Cheng Xin squatted down: "If it weren't for your sister, I would have liked you a lot, it's a pity." β
Xie Xiaoyi was puzzled: "My sister, what's wrong......"
"Do you know why I turned up the temperature of the air conditioner?" He asked suddenly.
Xie Xiaoyi naturally didn't understand, if you want to kill someone, it is completely unnecessary to go to great lengths to adjust the air conditioner to heating mode.
Cheng Xin didn't wait for Xie Xiaoyi to answer, he had already answered by himself: "Of course it's because of your sister." β
As he spoke, he stood up again and looked at Xie Xiaoyi condescendingly: "She, she's just a touch of consciousness in your mind, almost exactly the same as you, so, as a consciousness that has become a 'human', she is naturally as afraid of heat as a person, so what will happen after overheating?" Heat stroke, of course, and then dehydration. β
Xie Xiaoyi still didn't understand, "But even if I'm dehydrated, my sister won't be fine if she doesn't come." β
"No, she'll come." Cheng Xin turned his back, "The two of you are one, if you are injured, she will also be injured." β
"What the hell are you talking about?"
In fact, Cheng Xin lied to Xie Jiachen, he was not an old monster who had cultivated for thousands of years, he deliberately released the demon qi on his body that day, just to make Xie Jiachen have the illusion that he had too much demonic power, so as to make him think that he was not his opponent.
How do you know, he is just a little demon who has only cultivated for a few hundred years.
Therefore, Cheng Xin is not Xie Jiachen's opponent, even if she only exists for a few years, the power on her body is incomparable to Cheng Xin.
In order not to leave evidence, he chose to use the air conditioner to deal with Xie Jiachen, and afterwards he could make an excuse that the air conditioner was broken.
It's just that more than a month has passed, why is he only starting now?
Xie Xiaoyi sat on the ground and climbed back a few steps with difficulty, she wanted to get away from this crazy man, but she wanted to figure out what was going on.
She remembered the scene when she met him, was that gentleness all disguised?
Seeing her frightened appearance, Cheng Xin suddenly laughed, and squatted down again in front of her: "Look at what scares you, I just want to eat your sister, you are just an ordinary person, it is no good to eat you." β
As he spoke, he wanted to reach out and pat her head, but Xie Xiaoyi dodged him.
Cheng Xin's face was very close, and Xie Xiaoyi could clearly see the tear mole in the corner of his eye, the tear mole in the corner of his right eye......
Wait a minute.
The right corner of the eye?
The scene of the first intimate contact is still vivid, including the elevator time, Xie Xiaoyi's memory is very good, and it is impossible to remember it wrong. Coupled with the photo he saw on his desk, his tear mole should indeed be on the left.
Unexpectedly, after a month, Xie Xiaoyi didn't take this matter to heart, she remembered, she remembered it clearly, but because she had a good impression of him, she selectively ignored it.
Now that I think about it, I was already suspicious of him on the first day of employment, but I still corresponded with him vigorously.
Xie Xiaoyi, you are really stupid. She thought.
"It seems that your sister is still worried about you." Cheng Xin's voice sounded, but he looked outside the glass door.
Following his line of sight, outside the door, there was a woman who looked the same as Xie Xiaoyi, who was standing in the dark, quietly watching them.
Xie Xiaoyi also stood up when she saw this, she was already sweating, and the clothes on her body were sticking to her skin, as if they had come out of the water.
She looked at the people outside the door, and suddenly smiled and said, "It seems that you still don't know us well enough." β
"What?!" Cheng Xin was taken aback.
β¦β¦
Inside Rinkai Station.
"Why don't you say it?" Xu Nanxing was listening energetically, urging the haggard woman in front of him to continue, "Hurry up, hurry up, it's a critical time!" β
This haggard woman was Xie Xiaoyi, she paused, and continued: "Since my sister is a touch of consciousness that I have produced because I am too lonely, she can freely enter and exit my body through consciousness. β
"Oh~ So she was attached to you at that time." Xu Nanxing suddenly realized.
After working in this Linhai station for so long, in fact, Xu Nanxing has heard for the first time that consciousness can also transform into a human form and be able to think independently.
After living for more than 20 years, he can be regarded as gaining knowledge.
"And then?" He asked anxiously again.
"Later?" Gao Qingzhu became angry on the side, and his eyes were always staring at Xie Xiaoyi, "Do you still need to ask?" You're just an ordinary person, but you know a lot of details. β
In this way, Xu Nanxing also realized that something was wrong, and was about to ask her what was going on, when she heard a "poof" from the other side.
She smiled.
Why is she laughing?
Xu Nanxing was unhappy: "What are you laughing at?" β
Xie Xiaoyi's pale face showed a little ruddy, and she covered her mouth with her hand: "It's just to laugh at you, I've listened to me for so long." β
"So the story is fake?" Gao Qingzhu asked.
Xie Xiaoyi folded her leg on the other leg and leaned lazily on the sofa: "This story is indeed true, but I have also appropriately embellished some plots." β
Xu Nanxing didn't give her a good look anymore, he stood up suddenly, put his hands in the pockets of his sweatshirt, tilted his head, but looked down at her, and asked, "Who are you?" β
Who knew that she was just smiling, the corners of her mouth raised in a beautiful arc, in stark contrast to her sickly pale cheeks, she put her hand on her chin, and slowly spoke: "I can be you or her." β
I saw that she was unhurried, and changed her appearance and body shape in turn.
First Xu Nanxing, then Gao Qingzhu.
This woman is not Xie Xiaoyi at all.
"Are youβmirror?" Xu Nanxing guessed his identity.
