Chapter 9: The Figures on the Rooftop
Xia Yan didn't expect that he would win the award at all. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info He was stunned, but then took off his mask and slowly walked onto the stage.
At this moment, the eyes of everyone in the audience were focused on him.
Wan Yizhu, who was hiding at the back of the stage, only felt that the world had undergone a strange change in an instant, as if a white divine light shone down from above, enveloping her and the man named Bing Yan in a separate space.
That's a man with his own light.
Wan Yizhu even forgot to breathe.
Even Bao Wenqian, who has never paid attention to appearance, was stunned, looking at that person stiffly.
"My God......"
Xia Biao received the trophy, and it was a little hard to believe that he would really win this award.
"I really didn't expect to win...... he said slowly, "I used to think that even if I was invited to this event, I would just sit in the audience from beginning to end." I really didn't expect to get this award...... Thank you. ā
With that, he returned to his seat with the trophy.
"Senior, you really won the award. Look, I'll just say it......" Shen Xunkun said very cheerfully.
Xia Yan was silent for a while before saying, "I think...... Something is wrong. ā
"What's wrong? Oh, I said senior, why are you always arrogant? If you can win the award, it means that you have this strength! Don't be modest. ā
Xia Yan nodded and didn't say anything more.
However, the inexplicable uneasiness in my heart is getting stronger and stronger.
In the next awards, Xia Biao didn't pay attention to listening. He looked in the direction of Shi Yuan and the others, as if he wanted to convey something.
Behind the stage, Wan Yizhu was already stiff, with his mouth half open, as if he had fallen into a sluggish state.
From her position, Xia Yan's face could be seen. He was in the first row, and the mask had been taken off and he was not wearing it again.
"To be able to see such a person, even if I die immediately, I would be ......willing," she muttered to herself as if she were stunned.
This time, Bao Wenqian did not refute her.
Dinner is a buffet arranged by the organizers. Since no one stopped the interrogation, Shi Yuan and the others also followed and sat at the same table with Xia Yan.
"How's it going, Mr. Xia? Is there anything out of the ordinary? ā
"The biggest anomaly, I guess I won this award. I don't think I'm at the top of the list, either based on the number of votes or in terms of sales, so how can I win the Most Popular Award? Xia Yan said thoughtfully.
"What else?"
"Hmm...... That's the crazy woman and the strange nobody feeling I've seen lately. ā
Next, Xia Biao described these two situations in detail.
"Hell's Angels...... Mr. Xia, take the liberty of asking, have you been in love lately? ā
"What? No. ā
Reasoning has once again reached a dead end.
Although he won the award, Xia Biao felt a dark cloud gathering overhead, extremely depressed.
He unconsciously turned his head and looked out the window.
A woman covered in blood with two large, blood-colored tattered "wings" on her back was staring at him from the outside, two bloody hands holding on to the glass.
This is the twenty-fourth floor of the Silver Light Building.
"Shi Yuan......" Xia Yan subconsciously shouted in a low voice, pointing in that direction at the same time.
"What?" Shi Yuan and the others immediately looked at it.
But they didn't see the mad woman.
"Hell's Angels...... I just saw it...... Hell Angel ......" Xia Yan said with some trepidation.
If he just accidentally saw a crazy woman downstairs at some point and had a delusion, it was quite normal, and as a paranormal writer, his first instinct was to use it as material. But nowadays, this scene is repeated, and it is not a problem of illusion and material.
He felt the fear.
Why exactly? What's that?
"Hell's Angels?" Shi Yuan glanced at the others, and immediately walked quickly to the window that Xia Biao pointed to just now.
On the window pane, there are two blood marks, which are in the shape of palms. Because the color is very light, others don't notice it.
It couldn't be clearer.
That crazy woman is not Xia Yan's illusion, but a real existence.
Shi Yuan and the others stared at the two blood-colored palm prints, feeling that they were getting clearer and brighter, and finally turned into blood-condensed handprints completely.
However, all of a sudden, the handprint disappeared again.
Night is falling.
Shi Yuan and the others also booked a few rooms in the hotel, but none of them would rest easily.
While thinking about what Xia Yan said, Shi Yuan and the others checked the entire building from the lowest floor to the top floor.
Eventually, they made it to the top of the building.
The night breeze was slightly cool, and everyone looked at the dark sky, and a strong uneasiness enveloped everyone's hearts.
"Be careful, don't go near the edge." Shi Yuan said.
At this moment, they saw that in the other corner opposite them, there seemed to be several figures faintly.
"There's someone over there." Wu Boyuan said immediately.
"Let's take a look."
The crowd immediately walked towards the figures.
At night, if someone is standing on the edge or corner of such a commercial building, there is something wrong with it.
As they got closer, everyone could vaguely see that those figures were slender, with long hair flying in the wind, and they seemed to be several young girls. However, although the figures were very close, they did not hear any speech.
What are they doing? Is it an ordinary person, or is it a character related to the mission?
Shi Yuan expanded the perception domain, but found that the figures were not white.
Nor is it black, gray, light blue.
There's nothing there at all.
Could it be......
Shi Yuan quickened his pace and walked briskly.
It wasn't until he walked behind a few people that Shi Yuan tried to say, "Excuse me......"
Nothing happened.
By the light of the flashlight, Shi Yuan and the others saw that the slender figures were not people at all, but extremely realistic dolls, with a blank piece of paper on their backs, on which their names and manufacturers were written.
Raven Ridge Toy Factory.
There is no doubt that these dolls are quest items.
There are a total of four dolls, named "Anxious Girl", "Puppeteer's Mutant Girl", "Nightmare Princess", and "Girl in Love".
Shi Yuan stretched out his hand, randomly selected the "puppet master's mutant girl", and touched the paper behind him.
Still nothing happens.
He ripped the paper off and turned it over.
Sure enough, there is a text on the back, which reads: "Choose the most suitable one from the four girl dolls, press the switch on the chest, and then the remaining three girl dolls will disappear." ā
"Best for? Which is the best fit? What is it Best For? Wu Boyuan asked puzzled.
"Isn't that simple?" "The mission has already given us a hint." ā
"Hint?" Wu Boyuan is still clueless.
