Volume 2 Nightmare Proposal Chapter 19 Coward
It was already dark, and the night view of Orange Bay Square was as the female receptionist said, the lights were brilliant and beautiful, but the five executors in the presidential suite were sad and silent, and the few men who could smoke were all lit, and the living room was full of smoke for a while.
Zhang Qingyu opened the window, the wind was blowing, she was still a little scared, the death of the green hair had something to do with her, and if she didn't propose to her, she wouldn't have died so tragically.
But it's not that kind of pity and remorse, it's just the despair of simply watching a person die in front of him. She is not a "virgin", she does not want to save everyone, she does not have the ability to do so, but this place is full of pain, betrayal and sacrifice. So she is counting on being able to desperately retain a trace of beauty in "hell", such as Xu Lang.
Xu Lang was also a little melancholy at this time, he couldn't figure out why the green hair died because he violated the rules, which rule did he violate, Xu Lang didn't figure it out after thinking about it all night.
At this time, Yan Yan took out the cigarette in his hand, glanced at his watch, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, coughed and said to everyone: "Let's not spend any more time and energy on the green hair, don't forget that we haven't decided on a date yet, and then the time is very urgent, everything is simple and improvised." ”
Xu Lang understands that Yan Yan can say this kind of thing, which means that he is at a loss at the moment and has no ideas, so he can only let the development and then observe, but this is also the most appropriate plan now.
In fact, during the afternoon research time, Xu Lang had already confirmed the two dates, and they both had a characteristic that the mate selection requirements were concise and clear, and there was no ambiguity or possibility of extension.
The first is Cheng Fenglai of No. 64, a very masculine name, 26 years old, and the requirement for choosing a mate is just one sentence, "rich and rich", a very clear requirement, for normal people, this point brushes off a large part of the people, but for newspaper employees, this requirement is not worth mentioning.
The second is Su Xueer at No. 149, aged 22 years old, and the mate selection requirement is also a sentence: "I want an imaginative boyfriend", this requirement Xu Lang didn't think it could be dangerous after thinking about it. After looking for others to no avail, this number 149 was chosen as an alternative.
Xu Lang plans to focus on No. 64 Cheng Fenglai, which is the safest one he seems to be at the moment.
Yan Yan, He Xiao and others are also actively choosing a date, but Zhang Qingyu sat beside Xu Lang obediently, because she was told by Xu Lang not to choose a blind date by herself, and she would help her choose one when he was done.
Xu Lang lit a cigarette and rubbed his eyes, Yan Yan, He Xiao and Geng Jian had already chosen a partner, and they were calling in different rooms to make a date time and place.
Xu Lang was not in a hurry, but took out Zhang Qingyu's male version of the list, began to read it carefully, and after about half an hour, he called Zhang Qingyu.
"You see, these two are the ones I helped you choose a date. The first is No. 28 Li Yin, who is 24 years old, and the mate selection requirement is that he must be able to play the piano. That's your forte, and just playing the piano shouldn't lead to other terrible things, so this is your main target.
There is also a spare, that is, Huang Zhe of No. 152, aged 30 years old, although he is older, but we can't control these now, his mate selection request is to hope to find a girlfriend from a scholarly family. Similar to your family background, it shouldn't be a big problem.
When you are dating them, you should pay attention to the skills of speaking, whether it is your appearance or conversation, you should not be picky, as long as it is safe. At that time, it is up to you to propose, and boys should rarely refuse when a girl proposes. ”
After Xu Lang said a lot, he thought about it and frowned and said, "Also, I will follow you to protect you when you are dating, be careful not to get too close to them physically, and keep your distance." ”
Zhang Qingyu was a little surprised, thinking that Xu Lang was afraid that he was too close to them, so he covered his mouth and smiled at the moment, blinking and not speaking.
Xu Lang saw that she didn't have anything to say, so he left to call Cheng Fenglai on No. 64 to make an appointment.
The phone was answered by a woman with a northern accent, speaking straightforwardly and sounding emotional: "Who? ”
"Hello, I'm Xu Lang from No. 200, seeing your information, I think we are very suitable, I want to meet and talk, is it convenient for you?"
"Oh, if you don't have money, if you don't have money, we won't be delayed."
"Miss Cheng is really a cheerful person, and if you have money, I'm afraid you won't be able to spend it." Although Xu Lang has an average life, he is not bad for money now, and it is still very simple to pretend to be a nouveau riche, and this Cheng Fenglai obviously eats this set.
"Okay, then see you tomorrow at 9 a.m., at the entrance of the Orange Bay City Mall?" The mood on the other side of the phone was visibly high.
Xu Lang smiled knowingly: "No problem, it's better for Miss Cheng to wear a pair of flat shoes, otherwise you will be tired and panicked after shopping for too long and too many things." ”
On the other side, the laughter was even brighter, and he said: "No problem, no problem, see you tomorrow." ”
Xu Lang hung up the phone and whispered, "It feels really good to pretend to be big." ”
Yan Yan and the others have also confirmed the person to date tomorrow, and seeing that it is almost ten o'clock, Yan Yan gathered everyone together and prepared to discuss the allocation of the room.
The problem of accommodation is a big difficulty for each mission, because midnight is the time for evil spirits, and humans are entering the most lax time, so the night is generally the most prone time for accidents.
The division of the room is directly linked to safety, so the executors attach great importance to it, Yan Yan looked at the five people left, and said: "This mission is already small, and the green hair is also dead, now the five of us can be divided into two rooms." I live in the master bedroom with He Xiao and Geng Jian, and Xu Lang and you and Zhang Qingyu live in the second bedroom, is there a problem? ”
Xu Lang has always lived alone, and he is a little reluctant to sleep in a room with a girl, but he doesn't want Zhang Qingyu to live with other people, and he can only rest assured that he can be safe by looking at her.
He Xiao and Geng Jian were naturally overjoyed when they heard that they could live with Yan Yan, originally they thought that Yan Yan would live with Xu Lang, but they said that it was no problem at all.
Zhang Qingyu looked at Xu Lang who was thinking, a little lost, but still waiting for his statement. Xu Lang thought for a while, how could he manage the mundane etiquette when he entered the task, and said, "Then be so." ”
In fact, Yan Yan and these two oil bottles live in the same room, naturally there are also considerations, at present, they only know that the evil spirit controls the entire Orange Bay Square, but the body has never been revealed, and it is the seed in the body that causes trouble to the executor.
And through the matter of green hair, he has a conjecture, that is, everyone is under the influence of seeds, and their behavior and temperament will be more extreme.
And Xu Lang obviously has his obsession, and Zhang Qingyu also has an attachment to Xu Lang. These two emotions are likely to be affected by the seeds in the body, and those with knots will be the first to erupt in this mission, turning into evil spirits!
In fact, Xu Lang can understand this truth if he thinks about it carefully, he didn't pay too much attention to Zhang Qingyu before entering the task, but then frequently accommodated in the task, and even thought about it in all aspects, which is the effect of amplifying the emotions in his heart.
Yan Yan understood at this moment that Xu Lang, who was not shocked by honor and disgrace before, already had a weakness, that is, his "care" for Zhang Qingyu. I am afraid that this kind of care will be transformed into sincerity from the very beginning of calculation and use, and that emotion is likely to be absorbed by the evil spirit seed and stimulate growth. The same is true for Zhang Qingyu.
And He Xiao, Geng Jian and others, their biggest obsession is to live, so at present, it seems that they are the purest and most difficult to use party, and they can also play their role when necessary.
Yan Yan said that these thoughts were all in his mind, fleeting, and then said calmly: "Then it's no problem, remember to take turns to keep vigil, don't close the door, although the evil spirit may not appear directly at present, but you still have to pay attention at night." ”
After nodding, everyone went back to their rooms.
After Xu Lang entered the house, he took the lead in spreading the pillow of the double bed and a quilt on the ground. Zhang Qingyu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise she really didn't know how to distribute it, although she liked Xu Lang, but it was not to the point of sleeping in the same bed.
Xu Lang propped his hands behind his head, looked at the ceiling and said, "You keep watch for the first half of the night, I'll keep watch for the second half of the night." I'll take a break, you can call me if there is something, and if I have an accident, you will go to Yan Yan. ”
Zhang Qingyu is not the first time to perform a mission, naturally knows that the second half of the night is the time when danger breaks out, and the danger facing the vigil at that time is even greater, she is already very taken care of, and she can't be too greedy, and then said: "It's better for me to keep the second half of the night, you are also very tired today, and I haven't done anything." ”
Xu Lang interrupted her directly, "Don't say it, just do as I say, I'll sleep first, and call me later." In fact, Xu Lang's character shouldn't take care of her so much at all, and he himself couldn't figure out why he didn't want to put her in danger, was it just to take advantage of her? The authorities were fascinated, and he couldn't imagine that this kind of mind was largely influenced by the evil spirit seed.
The lights in the living room were still on, seeping into the unclosed room, and it was approaching the wee hours of the morning, and the whole suite was silent. In the master bedroom, the cigarette in Yan Yan's mouth flickered on and off, it was obvious that he was keeping vigil in the first half of the night, He Xiao and Geng Jian on the side slept like dead pigs, He Xiao snored slightly, Yan Yan shook his head, and disappeared in the dark corner.
Zhang Qingyu was sitting at the head of the bed, not knowing what she was thinking. And Xu Lang was worried that Zhang Qingyu didn't sleep soundly, and suddenly heard a noise outside the room when he was half asleep and half awake.
I can't really hear it, I can vaguely hear the crying of a woman and the anger of a man. The scene changed, and at this moment, Xu Lang went out to find that this was no longer in the presidential suite, but Villa 13, which represented the nightmare of childhood. He was standing at the end of the corridor on the second floor, in the attic above his head, and the screams of a woman came from him, accompanied by the shattering of bones and the crying of a boy.
Xu Lang couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality, he screamed and cursed with all his might, as if trying to break free from it, and suddenly he felt that his strength suddenly increased, and he could break the ceiling in front of him with one punch, and he could save his mother by rushing up.
Since surviving an accident at the age of 9, Villa 13 has become a knot in his heart, seeing his mother's tragic death with his own eyes, but he can't do anything about it, the word coward has tormented him for 18 years, and now he has the ability to change all this, he has the power to protect his mother, and he is starting to go crazy.
He jumped on the spot, poked into the attic door, ripped off the slide, and climbed up quickly to find that there was no evil spirit, only a middle-aged man who trampled his mother under his feet and smiled grimly at himself. And her mother showed viciousness in her eyes, accusing Xu Lang of why she couldn't save her, why she gave birth to a coward!
The belief in Xu Lang's heart collapsed, and he burst into tears. Then his temperament is out of control, and he wants to rush over and tear the whole man apart to avenge his mother.
All this happened in Xu Lang's dream, but the reality was not this scene at all.
Zhang Qingyu first heard Xu Lang's cry and found that he was sitting on the ground with his head bowed at this time, not knowing what to say, looking like he had fallen into an evil spirit.
She held Xu Lang's face out of concern, but found that his face was full of horror, tears came out of his eyes, and his round left eye was full of red light, and then his expression gradually became violent and fierce.
Zhang Qingyu was taken aback by this red light, of course she knew what it was, and remembered that Xu Lang had told her before that if she had a problem, she should go to Yan Yan immediately, but in such a daze, Xu Lang's hand had already begun to grab her.
