It is like knowing Yuan Xi eight years ago. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This was the first time Yuan Xi had met someone who really knew the mysterious girl eight years ago. At this moment, the mysterious girl was no longer like a phantom that could never be grasped in the sky, but a little more of the reality she once existed.
"I'm not her. I don't know who I really am now, but I can be sure that I'm not the same she was eight years ago. Yuan Xi frowned and considered the words, it was difficult for her to clearly express her experience to the girl in front of her now.
"Indeed, although the faces are almost identical, I can be sure that you are not her." Wanyue nodded and said.
"Oh? Why? Yuan Xi asked.
"Even though she always seems shy and weak, she is stronger than you, and I can see that she is the kind of person who is not afraid of anything." Ruyue looked into Yuan Xi's eyes: "And in your eyes, there is fear." You're scared of something, you're hiding something. ”
Yuan Xi lowered her head and her eyes wandered away, what was she afraid of? What else is she to be afraid of now?
"Eh, wait, I've seen you too!" On the other side, Yang Kang, who had been playing with the pistol in his hand, suddenly raised his head, as if he had thought of something.
"Didn't you say you're already in a vegetative state? Why are you here again now? Yang Kang asked in surprise, he had indeed seen Yuan Xi, but just a few days ago, it felt like an infinite past...... Yang Kang saw this forever pale girl with a touch of indifference and melancholy in the hospital bed, Yang Kang's impression of Yuan Xi was still a sleeping beauty-like "vegetative person", but now, she was the only living person seen by the two policemen in this unknown foreign land.
"I woke up, it was just after your 'disappearance'......" Yuan Xi recounted what she had seen and experienced to the two police officers who met unexpectedly, trying to convince the two police officers that she was just a "girl who was innocently involved in this series of strange events". She's innocent, isn't she?
Cults, demons and monsters, the inner space of the spirit world, the resurgent evil gods, the missing plane, a series of supernatural text messages, and the Rift Girl...... Under the bombardment of countless unbelievable terms and explosive events, it was difficult for the two policemen, who were almost nervous, to catch the hard-to-see loopholes in Yuan Xi's statement for a while. For example, Yuan Xi's identity that he can't prove at all now, such as how Yuan Xi came here alive after experiencing so many strange things...... Most of these things involve details, and Yuan Xi can only prevaricate the past with the simple word "amnesia". She didn't have any memories related to the Yuan Xi in the past, but because of some fatalistic reasons, she replaced this name that didn't belong to her, and she really wanted Yuan Xi to talk about her life experience, she couldn't do it at all.
And under Yuan Xi's side tapping and intentional or unintentional guidance, as an equivalent exchange of information, Yuan Xi also heard a lot of useful information from Wan Ruyue and Yang Kang's mouths.
First of all, there is the news about the "Yuan Xi" that Ruyue knew in the past.
"I met that 'Yuan Xi' at a family gathering in our Linyang City, she is the second daughter of the Yuan family, she is so beautiful and cute that she doesn't look like a person in reality," when she said this, Ruyue glanced at Yuan Xi who was listening carefully, and now it still looks so unreal.
"I was only a freshman in high school at that party, and I forgot what I was doing. Anyway, I remember that the six famous families in Linyang City seem to have people, and the heads and heirs of the Yuan family, the Luo family, the Sun family, the Lu family, the Wan family, and the Yang family seem to be present, and the scale is very large...... "Like the moon recalled intermittently.
"The Yuan family is still a prestigious family?" Yuan Xi really didn't expect that Yuan Xi eight years ago seemed to be a daughter.
"There is still my Yang family?" Yang Kang also looked confused.
"It seems that the Yang family was supposed to be here that day, but you overslept at home, and it seems that you were absent, right?" Ruyue said uncertainly, and glanced at Yang Kang with some disgust, it was really hard to imagine why Yang Kang could be absent so casually at such an important gathering.
"As for the Yuan family you belonged to eight years ago, it seems to be quite famous, but it has already declined at that time. The head of the Yuan family, the man named Yuan Ming, I remember following Lu Xicheng into the room. Wan Ruyue continued.
"You can't even remember what that party was doing back then, and now you can even recall such details, it's suspicious?" Yuan Xi felt that Wan Ruyue was probably hiding something from her.
"What a sharp point!" Wan Ruyue smiled playfully: "You can even hide a bunch of key information, why do you expect me to give you everything?" We are in such a place now, who can believe and who can't, I'm afraid no one will say clearly. I'm not selective about giving you information, what you need to know, I'll tell you, of course you don't need to know, it's absolutely impossible to ask from me. ”
Ruyue's confession that she couldn't believe Yuan Xi's words made Yuan Xi believe her even more, at this time, in this kind of place, not easily believing in anyone is the reaction that a normal person should have, Ruyue spoke like this, but it greatly increased the possibility that she and Yang Kang were not "spiritual beings" and the credibility of what she had said now.
…… (Recall and kill if you don't get along)
One night eight years ago, on the top floor of the Century Jinhua Hotel in Linyang City, a grand dinner was underway.
Wan Ruyue, who was only sixteen years old at the time, was sitting on the edge of the banquet, shaking the Coke in her hand, and watching boredly as circles of bubbles burst out of the Coke.
Beside her, her father, who was still straight-waisted at the time, wiped the Coke foam splashed on his neat mustache with a napkin like a dragon, reached out and gently patted the little hand of the moon, signaling her not to make a fuss here, like a dragon's hand wiping his beard trembled slightly, as if he was quite nervous in such a scene.
It's no wonder he was nervous, there were indeed a considerable number of "big shots" attending such a dinner.
"To our common cause!" Luci Cheng, who sat in the center, smiled politely, and took the lead in raising the wine glass in his hand to the crowd, and the light above his head shone with psychedelic colors in the wine glass.
"Cheers!" The twelve people in the entire private room raised their wine glasses at the same time, and Ruyue also smiled and touched them with Coke.
Sun Qinglong squinted his eyes, his smile was as ugly as crying, and beside him sat his father, a dwarf middle-aged male who was less than one meter six in height and fat and strong son, Sun Haoran, the liquor in Sun Haoran's hand was slightly away from the wine held by the other dry but powerful hand.
Luo Xuan, who had a pair of dead fish eyes, squeezed a hard smile on his face, but he just hit the wine into Sun Haoran's wine glass, which was obviously avoiding him, as if he was competing. Beside him, sat Luo Ruyan, who was carved in pink and jade.
Luo Ruyan was smiling and chatting with Yang Guangnian, the son of the Yang family beside him, looking forward to the brilliance, Yang Guangnian has an elegant temperament, a handsome face, and a calm conversation, it is said that he is also a very talented music teacher in the city's No. 1 Middle School, and it seems that he has won the favor of Luo Ruyan, who was only a senior in high school at the time, and the two clinked glasses with some intimacy.
Yang Guangnian's mobile phone suddenly vibrate, Yang Guangnian looked down at the display of the mobile phone, saw the string of familiar numbers, and smiled dumbly, and Wan Ruyue, who was sitting on the right side of Yang Guangnian, also seemed to inadvertently see the text message on Yang Guangnian's mobile phone through the transparent glass in his hand:
"Big Brother is watching you." Ruyue remembers that this seems to be the key line in one of her favorite dystopian novels, in which everyone is being watched by a heavy-handed and centralized government, cold cameras are everywhere around the world, and the most representative and creepy propaganda slogan of that terrible government is - Big Brother is watching you.
Yang Guangnian raised his head and smiled bitterly at the delicate girl sitting next to Lu Xicheng opposite, Yang Su, who was nineteen years old and just a freshman in college, left his long black hair behind his head coolly, and shook the mobile phone in his hand at Yang Guangnian as if demonstrating, and the mobile phone also showed the "shameless" smiling face of Yang Guangnian, who had just been photographed and clinked glasses with Luo Ruyan. Yang Guangnian lowered his head, and the smile that had been calm before was also more embarrassed and unnatural.
Just as the glasses were clinking, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, a gust of fragrant wind flashed, and a beautiful and bewitching mature woman walked briskly through the banquet like a sharp sword, her high heels stepped on the ground with a crisp clattering sound, and naturally sat down on the left hand side of the most central Luxi City, Yang Guangnian also lowered his head suddenly, as if he was afraid of something.
Yang Guangnian's aunt, Yang Nian'an, who is now thirty-two years old but is the head of the Yang family, seems to have a very "close" relationship with Lu Xicheng, just like the moon happened to see her not shy away from putting her face to the side of Lu Xicheng's ear, as if she was lowering her voice to say something, through the lip reading technique that she learned in some criminal investigation professional books on weekdays, like the moon still didn't have too much difficulty to recognize the three words that Yang Nianan said now: '
"Ta is coming...... is like some kind of warning, and it's like some kind of teaser.
"Everyone, we're going to welcome today's heavyweights!" Lu Xicheng took the lead in leading the atmosphere to applaud: "The current head of the Yuan family, Yuan Ming, who is in the same vein as us!" ”
Everyone applauded quite cooperatively, although they didn't know what they were welcome, but Wanyue still applauded with everyone.
The door was pushed open by a fair, somewhat emaciated hand, and a middle-aged man in a washed and somewhat wrinkled black suit walked into the private room with a worried face, he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, quite a bit of a scholar, but on such occasions he always habitually looked down at his shiny old leather shoes, while his left hand led another girl behind him, who was hiding behind his father with some cowering.
The girl was wearing an ordinary gray and white plaid dress, her shoulder-length hair was just tied at random with a red hairband, and she was slender and weak, about fifteen or sixteen years old, but her delicate countenance, which was close to bewitching, seemed to steal everyone's attention in an instant, and her dark blue pure eyes were so deep that people felt a chill behind her inexplicably, she looked as if she was present, but everyone felt that her dark blue eyes were actually looking at somewhere in infinity.
This was the moment when Ruyue first met the girl named "Yuan Xi" eight years ago.
