Chapter 1 Are You from the Underworld?
Shocking
"Haoning, what's wrong with Xiao Yuan?" Aunt Zhou looked at Zhou Yuan with dull eyes on the sofa, quietly pulled me out of the door, and asked me in a low voice.
"What's wrong?" I asked, stubbornly.
"These days, I feel that Xiao Yuan is not giving up, and it is not good to let him eat, so he will go back to lie on the bed after two bites, and he will not talk to me" Aunt Zhou whispered to me, "Has he not been working well recently?"
"Well, maybe, what, Auntie, I have to go back to work overtime, it's a bit urgent.
"Isn't it Sunday?"
"yes, there's something temporary"
I fled for my life and returned home, I was alone at home, I took a large glass of ice water, poured it down, my body was immediately cold, but even more upset.
"Is he still like that?" said in the mirror next to the TV.
"Yes" I looked inside, and the mirror was facing me, but in the mirror there was one more "person" besides me, and there was no trace of blood on his handsome face. I turned my head to look around me, and it was empty, and I was alone on the couch.
"Can't you get out?" I said in the mirror.
"No," he looked at me and brushed my hair in the mirror, and I subconsciously dodged.
If I had found out that there was one more person in the mirror a week ago, I would have gone crazy, but now, I don't even have the strength to go crazy......
A week ago
Friday, afternoon.
"Haoning, how are you going to spend this weekend?" Zhou Yuan asked me.
I'm an Internet product manager, this sounds lofty, but in fact it's hard, scolded by the boss and hated by R&D, fortunately, I have a good relationship with everyone.
I was sorting out the documents when Zhou Yuan stuck his head over and asked me the question just now.
Zhou Yuan is the designer of our company, Hunan people, tall and thin, people say that the eyes are the window of the soul, the most distinctive thing on his face is the big and surprising eyes, but the surprisingly big eyes are basically used for gas, the picture made by these eyes, either a few pixels are missing, or the color matching is extremely weird, the most peculiar thing is that these eyes can't tell whether the picture they make is good-looking, and they are always complained by the director.
Sometimes the director complains a lot, and he will count me down by the way. However, I also admire Zhou Yuan's psychological quality, how powerful he complained, he forgot it in a blink of an eye. And he has a characteristic, he especially likes to eat, he knows all the delicious dishes in S City, as long as it's a weekend, his job is all kinds of food, so he asked me how to live, basically there are good things on the weekend.
"What else can I do?" I glanced at it, just because of him, I was just beaten by the director, "The boss just said that I have no feeling for design and can't guide the work of designers, and I plan to go to Nanshan Book City on the weekend to choose a few design books to read and improve myself"
"Hey, don't say that, I think your beauty is okay, and I still have it, I'll help you" His immunity is so strong that he doesn't feel it at all, I touched my forehead, and listened to him continue, "But if you want to talk about beauty, we just planned to go to Tianmu Lake, the scenery over there is very good, and there are hot springs, not only can you relax your body and mind, but also enjoy the scenery and cultivate your sentiments, you have been a little stressed recently, otherwise go play with us, and besides, there is a lot of game over there, we can——"
"Can you hunt game to eat?" I glanced at him with disdain, "Just your eyesight, your eyes are big, your face is as big as a basin, you can make a picture wrong by four or five pixels, hey, don't hit me—that's not what I said, it's what the director just said about you—can you still hit game?"
"Of course I can't beat it, but we can get the local people to do it for us—who do you say has a big face? I don't get fat at all!" he argued, completely ignoring what I said he was doing wrong
Anyway, I think it's a good idea, it's been a lot of pressure lately, especially when I had that strange dream some time ago, inexplicably what a book from heaven, the gods have come out, and after reading it, I want to study less of the myths of the flood wilderness, so I should go with them.
Tianmu Lake is a two-hour drive from S City, and Zhou Yuan drove us there. I was accompanied by our colleague and good friend, Liu Shuai.
Liu Shuai is a top student, majoring in biomedical sciences in college, and has a lot of knowledge of human hair growth, but he still can't stop his hair from falling out before graduation, and typical theories can't guide practice.
After all thoughts were lost, Liu Shuai actually taught himself to be a programmer after graduation, so that everyone would feel sympathetic after seeing him, it was really brain-consuming to do IT, you see that after only a few years of graduation, his hair has fallen out.
The car turned its head violently and entered a verdant mountain forest with warblers and warblers, which were villas one by one, and there were birds flying in the mountains from time to time.
"Sure enough, the Birdsong Mountain is even more secluded!" I got out of the car, took a sharp breath of cool air, and sighed.
"Don't be emotional, let's go into the villa" Zhou Yuan parked the car, beckoned us to take our respective things, and asked the hotel waiter to help us open the door.
This is a typical hotel-style villa where you can cook in the villa, you can ask the locals to do it, or you can make it yourself. The so-called wild meat is probably the "semi-domesticated" game that the locals keep in the mountains for tourists to hunt, but it is somewhat different from the farms.
"Brother Wang, you are so good, we have a lot of food tonight!" I was about to go in, suddenly heard a silver bell-like laughter not far away, I looked for the sound, there were three men and a woman walked over, one of the men was carrying a few hares in his hands, and the remaining two men were carrying packages, the woman was dressed very neatly, looking at me and looking at them, they also looked at us, but the woman's eyes just saw me and frowned slightly, thoughtfully, this expression flashed away, Zhou Yuan also heard the voice, and hurriedly greeted:
"Sister Lan, it's you!"
Saying that, I walked over, I am more embarrassed at the door now, thinking about whether to enter the door or also pass, and when I was hesitating, Zhou Yuan called me, "Haoning, let me introduce you", I had to go over "This is Sister Lan, a foodie like me, Sister Lan, this is Haoning, my colleague, Sister Lan, who are these?"
I took a closer look at these people, this Sister Lan can't see the age, the rest of the people have a simple face, obviously don't talk much, Sister Lan took Zhou Yuan's words and said, "This is a few of my friends, I also like the air and game here, you see-" She pointed to the hare in the hand of one of them, the rabbit didn't seem to be dead, and fluttered twice from time to time, "We have something delicious tonight, why don't we eat together at night, we also brought a lot of food"
"How embarrassing is this, no merit is not rewarded. Zhou Yuan smiled.
"What's polite, let's go clean up first, this is your villa, let's go to our villa and talk about your affairs later, it's next to it" Sister Lan smiled at me, which was polite, and at the same time pointed to Zhou Yuan The villa next door
"That", Zhou Yuan smiled a little unnaturally when he heard this, "It's still true."
"Of course, silly boy, you have met good luck" Sister Lan smiled happily and turned away
"What's the matter?" I thought something strange and asked Zhou Yuan
"It's okay" Zhou Yuan thought about it, and suddenly laughed, "Dude may have to be transferred"
One afternoon, we played cards in the room with a few people, halfway Zhou Yuan said that there was something to find Sister Lan, and when he came back, he calmly told us to eat with Sister Lan in the evening, and we coaxed to say that Sister Lan was not taken down, Zhou Yuan blushed and said goodbye, he helped Sister Lan slaughter rabbits and wash vegetables in exchange for a free dinner in the evening.
"Hey, Haoning" Zhou Yuan secretly ran over mysteriously and showed me his mobile phone, "How about you look at this APP design drawing?"
"What's the matter, it's a weekend, don't you let people have a good rest?" I didn't take his phone angrily, but my eyes couldn't take it off at once, the design level of this picture is extremely high, whether it is color, layout, or details are perfect, I am worried that I am too subjective to make a mistake, hand the phone to Liu Shuai, Liu Shuai is full of praise when he sees it.
"Okay, you kid" I returned the phone to Zhou Yuan with appreciation, "The level of appreciation is good, you can find such a delicate picture, and you will copy it at this level in the future, the director will definitely praise you——"
"Yes, yes" Liu Shuai also nodded in agreement, "Look at other designers, if you have some level, no, one-third of some level, you won't be complained about by everyone." ”
"Copy a fart" Zhou Yuan pouted, "This is the picture I just took the time to make, okay?"
Liu Shuai was admiring this picture, and when he heard him say this, he looked incredulous, touched his forehead, and pulled Zhou Yuan's face: "Are you sick or is some big designer wearing Zhou Yuan's human skin mask? What level are you, we don't know? Have you forgotten that the night before yesterday, a few of our R&D brothers thought your picture was too ugly and scolded you to death?"
My heart sank, and I thought to myself, Liu Shuai, why don't you open which pot to mention, and talk about this unhappy topic on the big weekend. Because the drawings he designed are really not good-looking, Zhou Yuan is often dissed by research and development, and he can't get off the stage. But when faced with a designer saying that his picture is ugly, it is the biggest personal insult to him, Liu Shuai said this at this time, it is really possible to make the atmosphere stiff.
Who knew that Zhou Yuan didn't care: "That is the past me, my brother is no longer the original me, from now on, my brother's design will always live in your hearts." ”
So nothing, we had dinner together in the evening, sure enough, it was braised rabbit meat, as well as local free-range poultry, Liu Shuai had a bad appetite, ate some green vegetables, but the meat dishes didn't move at all, and we laughed at this bald head for really thinking of himself as a monk
After dinner, it was getting dark, and a few of them went to the hot springs, and I had some work to deal with, so I went back to my room first, and I planned to follow after dealing with it quickly.
Today's data is relatively normal, and it is estimated that it will be processed soon, I said to myself, suddenly the light in the room flashed, as if the contact was not good, I looked up at the light, and suddenly found that a person appeared on the sofa in front of me, with a pale face, smiling at me!
"Ah——" I suddenly had a numb scalp and felt like it was going to explode, I had heard of stealing things while people were asleep in the hotel, but I didn't expect to meet someone here who came before falling asleep!"Who are you! What are you going to do!"
I involuntarily picked up the notebook and threw it over when he approached me.
"You don't know me?" he said with a smile, laughing and chilling all over my body, "You forgot, you also wrote an article about our meeting and chatting and posted it to your official account"
"Huh?" I stared at him, "the devil visits Mr. Haoning at night?
"Don't talk nonsense, according to the current statement, I am the head of Soul Reincarnation Greater China, my name is Yan" He took out a business card and was about to stand up and hand it to me, but was stopped by my eyes
"Don't try to fool me, what do you want?" I stared at him, but also worried about my personal safety, "I don't do pyramid schemes, I only have 500 cash, you can take this computer, but let me back up my things first, and this phone-"
"Okay, okay, I don't want anything from you, this time I'm here to collect a soul, and then see you here, I'll come to see you" He stood up, put his hand in his trouser pocket, and pulled out a small vial, which was shining brightly, but couldn't see clearly, "Look, a soul" He shook the bottle and showed it off to me
“...... You can starve yourself to death if you are so deceitful. I glanced at him with disdain, "Your deception has a fight with Master Wang Lin, what's the matter, I'll take a look at the snake?"
He smiled awkwardly and walked over to me, "I forgot one thing, you can't see this now"
"What are you going to do!" I cried out, grabbing my notebook in my hand, ready to strike at any moment.
"You're so much more stubborn when you're awake than you're asleep, I don't know how it could be you," he frowned and snapped his fingers. I suddenly found myself unable to move.
He grabbed my hand and put it on his forehead, very cold, "Follow me to this sentence - use it with supernatural powers"
"What are you talking about?" I asked involuntarily, realizing that I could still speak
Suddenly, I saw that the whole room became less real, and the light from the bottle in his hand gradually contracted, slowly converging into the bottle, and gradually turning into a small person.
As the outline of the villain gradually became clearer, I felt colder and colder, and my teeth chattered involuntarily, because I saw that this villain was also crying and looking at me, and the face was someone I was very familiar with: Zhou Yuan!
