The butler, seeing that I was finished, turned around and began to slap the furniture again, and the furniture began to break into pieces and shrink into the wall, and in a few seconds the room was empty again, with nothing left.
So far, I don't have a complete concept of my "home", how big it is, how complex the layout is, how many new things are waiting for me to experience, all of this is still unimaginable. I just followed behind the man who called himself my butler, and I walked through many doors and many rooms as I had just done, and I wondered why the designer would take the trouble to repeat such things, and I still can't explain what kind of ingenious ideas are in it that people like me can't understand.
Finally, the butler stopped in front of the door, and he tapped it lightly on the wall, and the door opened automatically, and it was a door that led straight to the elevator, which looked like a new coffin that had just appeared, smooth and clean. When I walked in, the housekeeper stretched out his hand outside the door, and in the palm of his hand was the mobile phone given to me by the old man: "The car is waiting for you downstairs." ”
As soon as I took my phone, the elevator doors closed very intelligently, and then I felt it descend at a very fast speed, and it was so quiet, so quiet that it made me feel weak. The descent was slow, and I wasn't a redneck in the city for the first time, and with such a long run, I was almost down from the top floor of the tallest skyscraper in the city to the ground, but my residence was only on the 7th floor.
When the elevator door opened, I thought I was back to the real thing, still the dirty and dim hallway, which was very incompatible with my expensive evening dress, and I walked out of the hallway and stood on the steps outside the door, and the old "Hongqi" sedan I had seen was waiting for me in front of me.
The butler appeared again, he got out of the car, opened the door of the back seat, bowed slightly respectfully, and said, "Please get in the car." ”
"You're not..." I turned and looked up at the window of my dwelling, my face full of doubt.
The butler's face was still calm, showing no concern for any changes in my mood, and he said, "The time is almost up, and we still have a long way to go." ”
I got into the car suspiciously, and the car started smoothly, and the old building I lived in gradually moved away from me as the car moved forward. I don't come from an architectural background, but with what little knowledge I have about architecture, I don't think my home fits into this building.
The car drove up the city's boulevard, my body leaning against the door, my arm propped up on the window, looking at the scenery along the way. This is the city I am familiar with, the night is getting thicker, but it still can't stop its splendor, the lights light up all the space, reflecting the beauty and making people see the ugliness. People hurried past with expressionless faces, oblivious to the dirty hands of begging sticking out of dark corners, and the traffic lights alternated to guide the traffic in all directions. The fast-food restaurant on the street corner is a place I frequent, and the fried rice there tastes good, and with some of the owner's special sauces, I have become a big fan of it.
A police car, turning from another street, drove towards the car I was sitting in, and when I saw the lights flashing, I suddenly felt a panic in my heart. Immediately, the sound of sirens pierced the air around me, and the police car sped up and rushed towards me. The old man's words are still in my ears, this is my world, I can control it. As I watched the police car approach, I kept taking deep breaths to keep my heart rate below 80, and my newly agitated body tended to calm down as the blood flow slowed down. The sirens stopped, the speed of the police car slowed down, my Hongqi sedan passed by it, and I saw the cops in the police car throwing a friendly smile at me.
"You're a fast learner." The butler's words made me feel more relaxed, and I felt like I was starting to adjust to living in my own world.
The "Hongqi" car left the city and headed for the suburbs. The scenery on both sides has changed, the houses are disappearing, the road is lined with many tall trees blocking the view, I rolled down the window and shivered at the smell of plants that is characteristic of summer, and the temperature here is a few degrees lower than in the city. The car drove quickly on the asphalt road carved out in the middle of the trees, the leaves "brushed" in the breeze, and there seemed to be some light source in the woods, which was very strong, and from my point of view, the trees seemed to have a somewhat eerie atmosphere.
"Where are we going?" I asked the butler anyway.
In terms of the feeling of driving, the butler was quite confident in the journey, and the accelerator under his feet did not weaken, and when he heard my question, he glanced at me in the rearview mirror and replied, "It's coming soon." ”
I didn't ask any more, adjusted my sitting position, and continued to look at the scenery outside the window. After the car turned a corner, I finally saw the lights in the distance of the woods, first the stars, and as the car approached, the lights converged to see that it was a huge castle, perched on a small hillside, surrounded by tall trees, and the decorative spotlights on the outside, and the light coming from every window, adorned the medieval castle with extraordinary beauty.
The road slowly extended upwards as the altitude increased, and the Hongqi car rushed up the hill with more horsepower, and a gate made of actual stacks appeared in the power of the car lights, and the square door opening was installed with an iron fence, and several pairs of pedestals embedded in stone above, and several torches illuminated the area.
I didn't see anyone guarding here, but when my car approached, the iron fence gate automatically retreated on both sides, out of the way, the housekeeper did not slow down at all, still drove at full speed, the red flag car roared through the stone gate, I only briefly glanced at the inner wall of the doorway, the top was carved with reliefs, the speed of hesitation was too fast, I didn't have time to see the carving content on the top, but there was one thing I saw clearly, that is, countless eyes.
At the end of the road, a large fountain appeared in the night, a huge eye on the stone pedestal was held up by a strong flow of water, up and down, this eye had been watching me, even though my car had come to the side of the fountain along the approach road, but I felt that it was still with the effect of the water, and the deep pupil turned to my side.
The red flag car stopped steadily at the gate of the castle, the butler opened the door for me, I got out of the car, and subconsciously turned to look, that eye had already turned and was still looking directly at me. I don't look at it anymore because the pores on my back are all open and a layer of cold sweat is floating on it. I hurriedly straightened my clothes and turned my gaze to the castle.
