Chapter 10: The Past
Drifting from the turbulent water all the way to the bottom, Dong Xie and Dong Ning were always worried about what terrible things would happen in the process, but ...... Nothing happened.
This also made Dong Xie feel a little relieved, from this point of view, it is still the preparation period for the apartment to give residents to collect clues about the way out, at this stage, there will definitely be scaring residents, but it should not be time to kill the killer.
"The whole body is almost soaked...... Dong Xie looked at his body, because he was wearing a raincoat, his body was fine, but his face was basically completely soaked.
He wiped a handful of water from his face and looked at Dong Ning on the side, just now, he really thought that he would explain to Ah Ning in this underground lake.
Dong Xie suddenly hugged Dong Ning.
"Ah Ning, we will live, at the end of the year, I have already booked a birthday party for you at the Blue Deer Restaurant, you will graduate from college well, and then next year, we will watch the start of "The Imprint of History" together! We will live to the end, we will definitely make it to the end! ”
Dong Ning felt her brother's body trembling quite violently, and she also understood his feelings.
"Brother......
"Ah Ning, I seem, too impulsive." Dong Xie began to reflect on himself, just now, when the floating woman floated towards him, his mind had already begun to have a picture of his life. For him, what is even more terrifying than that he may die here is that Ah Ning will also die with him.
Next, the boat slowly sailed forward, and they were all still vigilant until they appeared on the shore and saw a personal staff member, and gradually calmed down.
At last...... It's over, right?
After taking off the raincoat and life jacket, Dong Xie took Dong Ning's hand, didn't dare to let go for a moment, took the elevator, and came to the first floor of the castle.
After walking out along the gate of the castle, Dong Xie took out his mobile phone and contacted Mo Yuan.
"Mo Yuan, are you still in the castle?"
"Hmm." Mo Yuan on the other end of the phone replied: "It's really scary here, but at present, it's just the staff who scare us." What about your side? ”
"There is a certain gain. Overall, it's a thrill. ”
"Really? If there is a harvest, you can also contact Qin Ziyuan and Li Yin. In particular, Li Yin promised to provide comprehensive off-site assistance to the blood word this time. ”
"Okay, I know, you should be careful, Mo Yuan."
After hanging up the phone, Dong Xie breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, at least Mo Yuan was fine. This time, it is not surprising that his mobile phone can no longer contact the outside world at any time, and Mo Yuan is one of his most reliable companions.
Looking back at the vampire castle, Dong Xie picked up his mobile phone and started searching on the Internet. Sure enough, no matter how you search, you can't find any floating female corpses in the amusement project of Torture of Death.
"After the female corpse sank into the water, it never came out again," Dong Ning recalled the scene just now, and said, "Then, it is really a clue to the way of life." Let's take a look at the video we shot earlier. ”
"Wait," Dong Xie stopped Dong Ning from opening the video and said, "Just in case, send the video to Qin Ziyuan first." He's in the apartment now, and even if there is any curse power in the video, it won't hurt him. And if Qin Zi doesn't find anything abnormal after watching the video, it's not too late for us to watch it again. ”
"yes, brother, I didn't even think of this way."
Dong Xie first sent the video to Qin Ziyuan, and then explained that he should stay away from his mobile phone when he watched it, just in case. If the evil spirit does come out of it, then it will be quickly devoured by the apartment.
Subsequently, Dong Xie and Dong Ning joined Yu Qing and the others who were waiting outside the castle.
"Are you alright?" Yu Qing was the first to run up and asked worriedly, "I've been worried about you." ”
"I'm fine," Dong Ning and Yu Qing had a good relationship, and said, "When you stayed outside the castle, did you make any special discoveries?" ”
"No," Yu Qing shook her head and said, "Probably because people come and go here, so the evil spirits won't come out...... Right? ”
"There is danger at any time and place, and you must not let up in the slightest." Dong Xie didn't expect much from these three people, and frankly speaking, their existence could only exist as cannon fodder in this bloody mission.
"How long will this Blood Letter mission last?"
The hotel is located right in the heart of the park, almost like an apartment that exists to make it easier for residents to perform blood letters. And Dong Xie realized that the purpose of the blood word this time was to open the third hell entrance.
In the case of apartments, the entrance to the Hell can only be opened during the Scarlet quest, provided that the occupants have the ability to close the entrance. It seems to be some kind of rule, and the apartment will be absolutely impartial so that this rule is not broken.
Dong Xie suddenly felt that from this point of view, the apartment was much better than human society itself. In real human society, there is no such thing as an absolutely just rule.
……
Inside the hotel.
When Ouyang Nian was taking a shower, he was thinking about Ye Yuantai's changes tonight. On the way back, he seemed to have a lot on his mind all the time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The hot water flushed down her body while she barely felt anything.
Memories drift back to three years ago...... At that time, her Taobao store sales were among the best among similar online stores, and because of this, she was even able to sign agency contracts with some large companies. Not long after successfully obtaining the agency rights of Yu Liyan's comic peripheral costume jewelry, she learned that the cartoonist had unfortunately passed away in a car accident.
She also attended the memorial service and handed over a white envelope of 3,000 yuan to Yu Liyan's parents, even though the two had only met once before her death. And at that time, she noticed Ye Yuantai at the memorial service, with a face like a dead man.
When Ye Yuantai saw Ouyang Nian who came to mourn and send a wreath, he didn't recognize her at all. I was a little surprised to learn that she was the owner of the Taobao store around the agency, and thanked her for only meeting her once and coming to condole.
At that time, Ye Yuantai told Ouyang Nian that Yu Liyan had written a will early. Perhaps because she often said that people can die at any time, she wrote her will at such a young age. The right to dispose of her comic copyright was all given to Ye Yuantai. And at the time of her death, she also drew a large number of original manuscripts for next year's solo comic exhibition.
Ye Yuantai learned from Ouyang Nian that the sales of Ah Yu's comics were very high, and after her death, some of her out-of-print comics had been hyped up to sky-high prices on the Internet. And for this reason, when she learned that the copyrights of all her works during her lifetime were authorized to Ye Yuantai, her parents and relatives even wanted to sue Ye Yuantai. On the day of the memorial service, as soon as the body was cremated, a group of relatives surrounded Ye Yuantai and forced him to hand over the copyright of the comics.
The warmth and coldness of people can be imagined at that time. Even Yu Liyan's parents think that Ye Yuantai, who is not married to his daughter at all, has no reason to hold the comic copyright of his deceased daughter. Especially when he learned that Yu Liyan had a large number of unpublished paintings in Ye Yuantai's hands, he made even more trouble. You must know that Yu Liyan's last large number of original drawings before his death are naturally worth how valuable they are. If you sell it to a publisher, you can start the price from the ground.
Ye Yuantai, who was surrounded and persecuted by a large number of people at that time, came to Ouyang Nian. He could see that Ouyang Nian came to mourn sincerely, and a person who had only met once could come to mourn sincerely, far better than these blood relatives. He announced that he would give Ouyang Nian full authority to the remaining sketches.
This also became the beginning of Ye Yuantai and Ouyang Nian getting acquainted. Ouyang Nian's online store has its own clothing factory that specializes in cooperation, and with Ye Yuantai's authorization, these leftover sketches have been designed and sold exclusively as peripheral clothing, making Ouyang Nian's online store make a lot of money, and even have the money to invite some well-known stars to come to his online store for live broadcasts. Now, she basically doesn't have to worry about food and clothing. Of course, relying on Yu Liyan's copyright to Ye Yuantai, he also gained a lot of wealth.
For her, what she will never forget is to go to the factory with Ye Yuantai to watch the garment production process, look at those drawings printed on a piece of clothing, and look at Ye Yuantai's eyes that gradually become hot, she understands that this is an affectionate man. And she also thought that maybe she could also be the person in his heart.
However......
Maybe this is really just her wishful thinking, right?
