The car drove through a busy intersection, turned into a slightly quieter side street, and stopped again.
"Crack..."
The car stopped in the parking space, Lian Ge, Gu Xiaoying, and Yu Mingzhi's family got out of the car one after another,
The hotel also appeared clearly within the line of sight,
"... Mr. Lian, this is the hotel we stayed in before." From the side, Yu Mingzhi said aloud, with a trace of fear in his eyes.
Guoguo, who was hugging the little white mouse, also raised her head and cast her eyes on the hotel.
"Brother..." Guoguo couldn't help leaning towards Lian Ge with some fear.
After glancing at Yu Mingzhi and the little girl beside him, Lian Ge turned his attention to the hotel in front of him.
In front of the hotel, there is a relatively open area beside the road, and behind the open area is the main entrance of the hotel.
The revolving glass door connects the inside and outside of the hotel lobby, forming the passageway at the main entrance of the hotel. From time to time, people come in and out along the revolving glass door.
There are two white columns on both sides of the main entrance, the surface of which has faded, and there are some traces left by rain erosion on the higher part.
Judging from its overall architectural style and the marks left by time on it, this hotel has been quite old.
"How many floors do you live in?" Looking at the hotel, Lian Ge asked aloud,
"The 12th floor, the room on the top floor." Yu Mingzhi replied immediately after hearing the sound.
As befits its age, the hotel's floors are not very high.
Hearing this, Lian Ge paused slightly on the top floor, and didn't say anything more.
Withdrawing his gaze, he looked at the main entrance of the hotel again,
Watching the pedestrians coming in and out, Lian Ge's wooden pipe paused slightly,
"...Let's go, go to the room you stayed in before."
After the words fell, Lian Ge moved his steps and walked towards the main entrance of the hotel.
After turning sideways, several people followed closely and followed up.
……
Along the steps in front of the hotel, through the revolving glass door, a group of people stepped into the lobby of the hotel.
The front desk next to the lobby looked at a group of five people. Although there was some curiosity in their eyes, they did not ask or stop them.
Without staying too long in the hall, Yu Mingzhi led the way at the front, and the little girl Guoguo, who was a little scared, stretched out her hands again and grabbed Lian Ge's clothes tightly.
The five stepped into the elevator and walked towards the 12th floor.
"Ding……"
The elevator stopped again, and the elevator door opened slowly.
"Mr. Lian, this is the room we stayed in before..."
After stepping out of the elevator, a group of five people stopped in front of a room door.
"Open the door."
Staring at the door in front of him, Lian Ge said calmly.
Hearing the sound, Jiang Hui reached out and took out the room card from her bag.
Holding the room card, he hesitated.
Turning his gaze away, after looking at Guoguo with his head down, he stretched out his hand and opened the door.
Chapter 166 The Girl Waiting For Someone
"Crack..."
The door of the room on the top floor of the hotel opened.
Glancing at Jiang Hui who pushed open the door, Lian Ge stepped into the hotel room, followed by several people behind him.
The room seemed very quiet, and the corridor separated by only one wall seemed to be two worlds.
Even the footsteps of Lian Ge and others did not change the silence.
Feeling the coldness brought by the lingering Yin Qi, Lian Ge glanced at the room in front of him,
This is a suite, and when you enter the door, you will find the living room.
Just like the sense of time outside the hotel, the decorations in the living room all reflect the years, the sofas and carpets, the carvings on the walls, and the lamps on the ceiling are all in the style of the last century.
"...At first, I wanted to take my wife and Guoguo and enjoy it, so I opened the best room here, who knows..."
Yu Mingzhi, who was standing beside Guoguo, looked around the room and said aloud,
Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at Yu Mingzhi, but didn't answer, and continued to look at the room in front of him,
Perhaps because of the shade, even though it was daytime at the moment, the light from the window could barely illuminate the room, and the whole room still looked a bit dark.
"Snapped."
Stretching out his hand, he pressed the switch in the side room, and the lamps above the ceiling suddenly lit up.
Some dim lights illuminated the whole room, but did not bring any warmth to people.
Scanning the living room, Lian Ge looked at the two doors on the side of the living room. At this moment, the two doors are closed tightly.
After a pause, Lian Ge moved his steps and walked towards one of the doors. Gu Xiaoying followed closely beside him.
Behind him, Yu Mingzhi looked at his wife and daughter, and also walked over.
"...Mr. Lian, this is Guoguo's room before, but after sleeping in this room for one night, Guoguo said she wanted to sleep with us the next night, and asked her why she didn't say anything... "
Yu Mingzhi's body trembled slightly, but after looking at his wife and daughter, he forcibly restrained himself.
Hearing this, Lian Ge didn't look back, staring at the dark door in front of him, stretched out his hand to hold the doorknob,
"...Brother, I'm afraid..." Guoguo held Lian Ge's clothes tightly, with fear in his eyes, fear,
After lowering his head and smiling slightly at Guoguo, Lian Ge looked away, without pausing, he unscrewed the doorknob and pushed open the door.
"Crack...boom."
The door collided with the side wall, and the scene behind the door immediately caught everyone's eyes.
This is a pink-themed children's room, full of fairy tale style,
The room was as quiet as the outside, but the moment the door was opened, a bone-chilling chill made Gu Xiaoying and Yu Mingzhi's family beside Lian Ge shiver.
"... Lian Ge, is it..." Gu Xiaoying looked at the quiet room in front of her, and asked when she heard the sound of the door gently bumping against the side wall.
Hearing this, Lian Ge didn't look back, still staring at the room in front of him, and nodded.
On the side, Guoguo, who was clutching Lian Ge's clothes, had already hid behind Lian Ge, tightly hugging the little white mouse in his arms.
……
At this moment, in Lian Ge's sight,
The moment the door was opened, a figure appeared behind the door,
This is a girl wearing a red embroidered padded jacket, which was still patched and covered with dust and debris.
Bare feet, the ankles and insteps still have some marks that seem to be abrasions, and the broken skin of the wound is like a cotton-padded jacket, stained with dust,
Wearing a ponytail, there is also some gray on the braid.
This is a little girl who looks only one or two years older than Guoguo, half of her face still has the blush of a child, and the other half of her face is infected and inflamed, rotten and rotten flesh, mixed with thick blood. The water is constantly dripping.
After opening the door, the moment she saw Guoguo, a happy smile appeared on her face,
"Guoguo, you're back..."
But then, as Guoguo hid behind Liange, her gaze gradually dimmed, she lowered her head, and fell silent.
"Can we chat?"
Lian Ge looked at the girl in front of him, paused slightly on her face, and said aloud.
Hearing the sound, the girl suddenly raised her head, followed the sound and looked over,
"Brother, can you see me too?" The girl's voice was a little surprised, and she took two steps towards Lian Ge, but then she seemed to think of something, she stopped her steps, and lowered her head.
"Mr. Lian, are you..."
On the side, Yu Mingzhi watched Lian Ge talking to the empty room, and couldn't help asking,
"Brother is talking to that sister..." Behind him, Guo Guo, who was hugging the little white mouse tightly, said in a trembling voice.
Hearing this, Yu Mingzhi couldn't help feeling chills in his heart.
Lian Ge glanced at Yu Mingzhi, didn't say much, turned his gaze away, and turned his gaze to the girl in the room again,
"Yes, I can see it." Lian Ge responded, and at the same time moved his feet, stepped into the room, walked up to the girl,
Hearing the sound, the girl raised her head again, looked at Lian Ge who was right in front of her eyes, and paused for a moment.
Lian Ge's eyes didn't dodge, he looked directly at the little girl's half normal, half rotten face, and smiled slightly at her,
"Brother, aren't you afraid?" The girl looked up at Lian Ge and asked,
"Not afraid." Lian Ge shook his head, "You have neither resentment nor hostility, why should I be afraid?"
"But my face..." the girl lowered her head again as she spoke,
"It's okay." Lian Ge shook his head and said with a slight smile, "You just got some dust on your face, it's better than dust on your heart."
The girl seemed a little ignorant when she heard the words, but Lian Ge was really not afraid of her, so she was a little surprised.
"Brother, thank you..."
Hearing this, Lian Ge smiled slightly, bent down,
"May I ask what your name is?"
"Xiaodie, my parents and elder brother call me Xiaodie." The girl Xiaodie responded crisply,
"Xiao Die, right?" Lian Ge simply squatted down, "Do you know the underworld?"
"I know, after people die, they all go there."
"Then why are you here?" Lian Ge looked at Xiaodie and asked.
Hearing the sound, Xiaodie didn't answer directly. After looking at Lian Ge, she looked at the Guoguo family outside the door.
"Brother, did Guoguo's parents come to arrest me?" Xiaodie looked at Lian Ge and asked.
Hearing this, Lian Ge looked at Xiaodie, paused for a moment, then shook his head slightly,
"No."
"Then I'll tell you brother." Xiaodie looked into Lian Ge's eyes and replied,
"I'm waiting for someone."
"Wait for who?"
"Wait for my brother, wait for my brother to come back to pick me up." Xiaodie replied,
"So I can't go anywhere, so I have to wait here, waiting for my brother to come back."
Hearing this, Lian Ge looked at Xiaodie, paused for a moment, and continued to ask,
"Can you tell me how long you've been waiting?"
"...I don't know, I just remember that at the very beginning, it wasn't like this here, there weren't so many tall buildings." Xiaodie shook her head,
"What did your brother do?" Lian Ge stared at Xiaodie.
"...My father and mother told me that my brother went to war. At first, my father said that I would go, but my brother said he was old, so he went. My mother didn't want my brother to go, but my brother said... others are bullying He has come to the door, he must go..."
"When I was leaving, my brother told me, let me study hard, and when he comes back, he will take me to a place where there will be no war and no hunger... But now he is going to create such a place Come."
"I'll just listen to my brother, study hard, and wait for him..."
"Now I've been waiting for such a place, haven't I?"
"...But, my brother, he still hasn't come back..."
