Chapter VII: Tampering (I)
"I think it was like a barbecue stand yesterday, right?"
"Yesterday? Didn't you buy milk tea yesterday? Is it a barbecue stand? I think so, but I'm not impressed......"
“……”
The sun was shining on the road from the hotel.
However, Lu Li felt more and more chills down his spine.
The barbecue stall turned into a bubble tea shop overnight, but the rest of the people didn't have any impression.
seemed to be thoughtful, but shook his head again, and finally felt that Lu Li's expression was a little strange and a little fussed.
What does it matter to you what store he opens?
Lu Li frowned and turned to leave.
The endless stream of vehicles on the street, the sidewalks with people coming and going, and even the small vendors selling "lean meatballs" not far away who kept shouting with loudspeakers, all gave Lu Li a sense of unreality.
He once saw a movie.
The name of the movie is "Truman".
The protagonist lives in a large studio, living a 9-to-5 life every day, and everything seems to be normal, but he is being watched.
The boss is an actor, his friend is an actor, and even his wife, who lies together every day, is still an actor......
The daily food, clothing, housing and transportation, including the operation of the world, are especially carried out in the script.
In fact......
Lu Li also felt this way at this moment.
The world that has always been known is suddenly subverted, and what is obviously very real suddenly becomes doubtful about its authenticity!
He had a sense of prying eyes for no reason.
However, after thinking about it for a long time, Lu Li felt that he was not the protagonist of "Truman", after all, everything in this world is so real, and it is impossible for the studio to have such a terrifying card.
"Perhaps, the people around you are all "Truman"?"
“……”
“……”
So, what does the real world really look like?
Is there a legendary fairyman, the sword flying, the sword is thousands of miles away from the head of the low square, or is it the sword trick in the hand, the dream of eternal life?
Lu Li's eyes narrowed.
At this moment, although I still feel a chill down my spine and feel quite insecure, I more or less accept it.
And then......
There seemed to be a hint of anticipation in his deep emotions that even he couldn't say?
……………………………………
The work in the hotel is actually quite impetuous.
The place where Lu Li practiced during the summer vacation was a small restaurant on the second floor of the hotel.
His job is to be a waiter, serving tea, pouring water and delivering food!
"Yesterday, there were a few employees who were confused when they went to work, and the dishes could be delivered wrong, and the mistakes were particularly outrageous, and I even got one of the few bad reviews and complaints so far!"
"This is very bad in our service industry, and it can be said to be a stain on my life!"
"I hope this kind of thing will not happen again, otherwise, I will report it to Manager Xu, and my salary will be deducted at that time, don't blame me!"
“……”
At the time of the morning meeting.
The foreman spat and said a lecture, his eyes swept over Lu Li from time to time, and his eyes were full of warnings.
The foreman's name is Zhang Shan, a young man in his thirties from rural Yunnan Province.
Although the education is not high, the work is conscientious, and people can't rub sand in their eyes, there is a slight perfectionism, and they regard this job as a career.
Lu Li delivered the wrong dish yesterday, which really made him angry.
Not to mention the bloody scolding of Lu Li, he also went to Manager Xu's side by himself, and self-examined himself for a long time, and punished himself for a day's salary.
Such a person is quite convincing.
After the reprimand, Zhang Shan began to disband the service team, and the entire small restaurant began to operate normally.
A day's work is actually very boring for Lu Li.
Every day, he shows a smiling face, pours tea and water, and helps people open wine bottles.
And there is a lot of work today, Lu Li has to work overtime until eight o'clock in the evening, and he can only get off work after the guests have finished eating.
In the past, Lu Li didn't matter, but today I don't know what's going on, Lu Li's heart is full of a sense of unease.
As the sun went down, the sense of uneasiness in Lu Li's heart became even stronger.
It's August, and it's supposed to be hot, and even if night falls, it's still hot.
But......
There was an indescribable coolness in the hotel, even if the air conditioning was not turned on, it still made Lu Li shiver and yawn.
Even, I don't know what's going on, Lu Li's originally very clear mind began to become blurry at seven o'clock in the evening, and he even felt so tired that he wanted to lie on the sofa to sleep.
Seem......
The noisy guests in the hotel also voiced a lot softer at this moment......
In the box where Lu Li was, the guests were noisy, and everyone seemed to have endless topics to talk about, but at a certain moment, suddenly they all began to be silenced inexplicably, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, big eyes staring at you......
Then, suddenly, everyone laughed again, and there was a lot of noise again.
This is a very normal phenomenon, and many noisy classes occasionally have this weird phenomenon.
Clearly......
None of the teachers came.
But!
Lu Li, who was standing at the door, felt that everything in the surrounding boxes had this situation.
There are all kinds of topics that can't be talked about, but suddenly they can't speak!
After Lu Li saw that this box had nothing to do with himself, he subconsciously pushed open the door and walked out.
When he pushed the door open, he suddenly felt a strong sense of exhaustion, and even his eyelids couldn't open, and the whole person was dizzy.
Followed by......
His pupils narrowed.
I bit my tongue violently and forced myself to wake up!
He saw a few picklers who had been serving the dishes just like that, sleeping heavily on the ground.
Several waiters who came out also seemed to have their eyes closed, and just stood like that, as if yawning......
Obviously, before coming out of the box, there was all kinds of noise in the box, but the moment Lu Li closed the door of the box, the world was terrifyingly quiet.
Although he gritted his teeth and made his tongue ache, Lu Li still felt an endless sense of exhaustion!
He clenched his fists, trying not to fall asleep.
He thought there must be something weird!
It was at this time......
"Knock knock!"
He saw the foreman Dashan, walking slowly and step by step from the cashier in the corridor.
Holding a letter......
He looked extremely dazed, muttering words from his mouth.
But......
He walked in an unusually strange way, twisting one foot and staggering, and the other as if he were stepping on a high heel.
His eyes are even more weird!
There was no light, not even any consciousness, and the whole person seemed to be controlled, moving forward step by step.
At the moment when he passed by Lu Li, his head suddenly drooped down, as if he couldn't hold it and was about to fall!
Lu Li was shocked!
What the hell is wrong with this man?
"Brother Shan!"
"Mountain ......"
“……”
Lu Li tried to make a sound, but when he was even more shocked, the sound he made was like the sound of a mosquito, inaudible.
He tried his best and grabbed Zhang Shan's arm violently, but he felt an unprecedented stiffness coming, and then, Lu Li felt that the strength of his whole body had been drained, and his eyelids couldn't be opened.
He finally let go of his hand, and then, seeing that Oyama's arm seemed to have a six-pointed star symbol.
The symbols seem to be quite weird, and they have a sense of evil.
Then, he watched in a daze as Dashan walked towards the elevator entrance, and then disappeared into the elevator.
The elevator seems to be going up......
Frozen on the twelfth floor of the hotel?
Lu Li was tired and wanted to follow, but it didn't take long for him to ......
He felt what seemed to be something falling from the window......
He turned his head sharply.
Subsequently!
"Smack!"
His pupils shrank!
He was almost shocked......
He actually ......
I saw a pool of blood on the ground and a ...... that cracked like a watermelon
The head!
Lu Li was shocked!
Want to scream......
But then, I felt a terrible feeling of exhaustion hit me, and then.
And he fell into a deep sleep.
It seemed like he had only slept for a few moments before he opened his eyes.
The moment he opened it, he found himself standing at the door of the box......
He looked around......
In the originally silent world, there was countless noises.
Then, his mind was inexplicably in a trance!
A memory seems to appear out of thin air in my mind!
The next moment......
"Oh my God!"
"Foreman Zhang committed suicide!"
"Foreman Zhang just told me that he felt that there was a stain in his life, he couldn't stand being scolded by the guests, he was emotionally out of control, and he couldn't think about ......it for a while."
"He ran to the twelfth floor and jumped off!"
"I saw him scream that he couldn't live, and then jumped!"
"He wrote a suicide note......
“……”
"Ahhhh
“……”
Followed by......
There were horrible screams from the waiters.
A lot of people ran down in a hurry......
