Chapter 57: The Abandoned Son
Lydon Hotel, 3301.
This suite has the best view of the entire hotel, with windows that open out onto the city. At a glance, it is condescending, with a panoramic view of half of the city.
Whenever Yang Bing goes to a city, he likes to stay in the highest hotel in the local area and choose the highest room. If you stand quietly by the window, you can watch it for a long time.
Ouyang Ping was the opposite of her, he would try his best to stay away from these heart-wrenching scenes.
Ouyang Ping said that if he stood tall, he would eventually feel scared in his heart, afraid of falling from a high place.
To a greater or lesser extent, everyone has a fear of heights, and this fear may be engraved into human genes.
Yang Bing didn't agree with this statement before, she laughed at Ouyang Ping for being timid, she felt that fear could be overcome, as long as she was not afraid in her heart and stood calmly on a high place, she could enjoy the scenery that can only be seen from a high place.
However, after leaving Dongshan, she could understand what Ouyang Ping said, the fear engraved into her soul could not be overcome......
When she first arrived, she only thought that it was an ordinary small city, with a city, fireworks, busy, and ordinary.
But now, she didn't dare to look out the window anymore, because she felt that there was a dark forest outside the window, and the vicious beast could wake up at any moment.
The sun was even hotter after the heavy rain, and the sunlight was slanting through the glass, projecting in one by one, illuminating the quiet dust in the air clearly.
The light streaks of sunlight on the ground are like slowly rising tides, spreading over the floor tiles one after another.
"You're not a kid anymore, how can you trust others so easily?" There was obvious complaint in Ouyang Ping's tone.
Yang Bing's face also revealed weakness, and his fair skin was like pure first snow.
Yang Bing didn't reply, took the lunch box from Ouyang Ping's hand calmly, put it on the table, pulled out a chair, sat down, and ate slowly.
Ouyang Ping saw that she didn't answer, and he was not annoyed, he sat on the sofa alone, and stared intently at the Taoist priest sitting cross-legged on the ground—although the filthy mud stained the long robe, the man in the long shirt looked unusually clean.
He had to admit that he was just an extremely good-looking boy with a delicate appearance and a cold temperament like ice and snow similar to Yang Bing.
The light outside the window cast on his face, and his indifferent face looked extraordinarily serene. It's like a deliberately created beautiful shot in a movie.
"The sun is shining on him, close the curtains......" Yang Bing turned his head and rested his arms on the chair.
Hearing Yang Bing's commanding words, Ouyang Ping frowned, his face was a little resentful, but he still tried his best to hide his dissatisfaction: "Yes, yes, our eldest lady's orders......"
Ouyang Ping stood up as he spoke, his deep voice like it came from the thick strings on the bass.
As soon as he walked to the window, the view outside the floor-to-ceiling window flooded into his eyes, and the humming bass string suddenly broke—he was afraid of heights.
Yang Bing continued to eat, and didn't hear Ouyang Ping's movement for a long time before slowly putting down his chopsticks.
"This is an electric curtain, just press the remote control......" Yang Bing picked up the remote control from the coffee table in front of the sofa and pressed it.
There was a mechanical sound from the rails on the floor-to-ceiling windows, and drape-like curtains slowly closed from both sides, blocking out the light coming from the windows.
When the curtains are fully closed, the room instantly darkens, leaving only a vague outline of everything in the room.
Despite this, Ouyang Ping still tried to maintain the calmness on his face, not wanting Yang Bing to see his embarrassment: "I just want to experience how this high scenery can attract your ......."
Yang Bing walked to the front of the porch, pressed the switch, the chandelier on the top of the living room lit up, and she saw that there were fine beads of sweat on Ouyang Ping's forehead, which were like a layer of tiled broken diamonds in the light.
"I'm tired of seeing this high scenery......" she smiled shallowly, not debunking Ouyang Ping, "By the way, have you been in touch with the people of the organization?" ”
"No......" Ouyang Ping sighed heavily, a complicated loss in his eyes.
"What about the contact station? Have you been there? ”
"The contact station has also been transferred ......"
The smile on Yang Bing's face disappeared instantly, and he asked anxiously, "Why?" ”
"I don't know...... Overnight, all of the organization's liaison stations in Cangjiang were transferred. Now in the entire Cangjiang City, there is not a trace of organizational existence. Now we are like ......"
The corners of Yang Bing's mouth twitched a few times, and his expression became heavy. Some desperate thoughts crossed her mind, but she didn't want to trust her own judgment, she wanted them to come out of someone else's mouth: "Like what? ”
"It's like an outcast." Ouyang Ping's voice became cold, and his cold eyes were like cold light on a sharp blade, "It's not just us, this city, it's also abandoned by the organization......"
Yang Bing's fair face was even more pale, and his gaze seemed to have lost focus, constantly hovering between the chandelier and the air conditioning outlet.
It was as if the ferocious beasts that had slumbered had all awakened and were waiting around the dark forest, ready to slaughter their prey.
The silent air seemed to be filled with the smell of blood.
"The world is a game, and the common people are chess." A hearty voice broke the brief silence.
The two of them followed the sound and turned back.
I saw the Taoist priest standing up very inflexibly and patting his stiff limbs: "The dead situation can also be revitalized, and the abandoned son may also be the key to turning the situation around." ”
