Chapter 1110 Mission Withdrawal
On the second day of 2016, the sky was clear and the breeze was blowing.
Gu Xingjian, dressed in casual clothes, stood on the top of Tianming Mountain with one hand in his pocket and a cup of hot tea.
He always has a harmless smile on his ordinary face, and his easy-going temperament will make people ignore how his current position is superior to all living beings.
His slender red phoenix eyes narrowed slightly against the wind on the top of the mountain, making him look particularly relaxed.
A man stood alone on the top of the mountain, talking to himself.
"Brother, we are almost successful, just one step away."
"When I am qualified to stand on the gambling table and see it with my own eyes, you will understand that your death is worth it."
"Haha, people are going to die after all. I heard that my parents have canceled your and my accounts. Now we only belong to Tianhai Hotel."
As Gu Xingjian spoke, subtle changes appeared in his facial features, especially the position of his left eye.
The originally indifferent eyes there suddenly began to become deep and dark, as if they had become a black hole, completely swallowing up the light.
Not only the light, but also Gu Xingjian's entire left eyeball began to disappear, and his entire face became distorted and abnormal.
After a moment, a figure slowly came out of his body and stood directly in front of him, blocking the city under the mountain.
As the figure left the body, Gu Xingjian's face returned to its normal state. He took a half step back with the straw in his mouth and shook his head slightly.
"The body made from that skull still doesn't fit me completely, even with my brother's corpse."
After taking a swig of hot tea, he walked slowly in front of the figure, stopped a fist away, and observed carefully.
The corpse in front of him looked exactly like Gu Xingjian, both in height and face, except that his left eye was missing.
The body has been seen numerous times but has never been found.
He is Gu Xingjian's brother - Gu Xingzhi.
It was also Gu Xingzhi who, according to Clyde, was originally the manager of the Ninth Branch, but died mysteriously when he took office.
Gu Xingzhi, who had never seen anyone alive or dead, now stood in front of his younger brother. It was impossible to tell whether he was dead or alive.
But from Gu Xingjian's few words, we may be able to get some of the original truth and current answers.
Gu Xingzhi is dead. The cause of death... cannot be said.
And now this corpse is suspected to have been "created" by Gu Xingjian——
Taking "that skull" as the prototype and using many things to fill it in.
What is now known is that Gu Xingzhi’s right eye was Li Congrong’s prosthetic eye.
Judging from a series of fragmentary performances:
Gu Xingjian got "a skull" and used it as a prototype, his brother as flesh and blood, and a group of special sinful objects as fillings to create something.
He wants to integrate this thing with himself to achieve a certain purpose.
And whether this purpose is what he said is "to get on the gambling table and meet it" is unknown.
In particular, it is not clear whether Gu Xingjian's "gambling table" and Ji Li's "gambling table" are the same.
But judging from the results, Gu Xingjian was almost successful.
Because Gu Xingzhi standing in front of him only had one right eye missing.
And he had already chosen the position of his right eye - "that young woman from far away Kyoto, but now in the seventh branch."
……
Shanming City, Huangma Temple.
Luo Xian clasped his hands together devoutly, holding a wisp of long incense in his palms, slowly circling the green smoke along his fingertips.
As she knelt on the futon and bent over to offer incense, her black hair fell away, covering her stunning face.
The Buddha statue bathed in golden light has a peaceful and compassionate expression. The tall Buddha's hands are lowered, as if stroking the top of the believer's hair and blessing him.
In the quiet temple, scriptures are sung, making people's souls feel peaceful and tranquil.
What is incompatible with his surroundings is Li Yi, who stands tall and straight with his hands behind his back.
Zhongshan is dressed in black and has a stern face. Even though his position is higher and lower, there is an illusion in his eyes that he is looking at the Buddha on an equal footing.
After glancing at the Buddha statue, he began to lower his eyes and looked at Luo Xian who was still saluting, and said lightly:
"After chanting sutras, reciting Buddha's name, meditating, you still want to kill and take lives. What's the point of this?"
Luo Xian recited something respectfully, then offered the incense, slowly stood up from the futon, turned back and pulled back his hair with a smile.
"After you are tired of running for your life and drifting away from life and death, you don't always come to me for a sweet dream, which means nothing."
Since his fifth store manager assignment, Li Yi's mentality has undergone tremendous changes.
He began to no longer be domineering, but began to gradually contact people, so the first person was naturally Luo Xian.
In the middle of the mission, Li Yi gave up the competition and chose to immerse himself in his dream.
From then on, Li Yi would come to Luo Xian every once in a while and ask him to give him a sweet dream.
No one said it clearly, but everyone knew it.
Li Yi is becoming negative, even desperate, which is why he places his hope in illusory "dreams".
……
In the comfortable fasting room, Li Yi lay unsuspectingly on the kang with his clothes closed, his eyes closed and his breath even.
Luo Xian was sitting at the table, twirling the tea cup with his slender fingers. The dense fragrance of tea slowly spread, filling the room with a refreshing fragrance. "Since you are willing to dream, why don't you just take away my nightmare crime?"
Perhaps because of this period of contact, Luo Xian is no longer unfamiliar and reserved with Li Yi, and speaks more casually.
But Li Yi didn't answer, he was slowly immersed in his dream.
After Luo Xian said this, he raised his eyes and glanced at him, then gradually closed his eyes.
The nightmare object is hers, and she is the master of Li Yi's dream. In other words, she is also experiencing the dream that Li Yi is having.
……
A lustful dream.
If Luo Xian hadn't come in many times, she would have been surprised why Li Yi's dream was like this.
In the dream, there was nothing.
This is a piece of grassland, empty and vast, stretching as far as the eye can see to the horizon.
Li Yi stood in the middle of the grassland. The sky was high and the sea was far away. There was nothing but grass in his eyes.
The sky is vast and boundless, and he is like a lonely black spot, inconspicuous and unimportant.
The weeds drifted with the wind, and the slightly swaying leaves were like ocean waves, drowning Li Yi.
Luo Xian stood behind her and watched quietly. Her appearance did not affect the dream, so this dream was born from Li Yi's state of mind.
The previous dreams are all the same, but the scenes will change slightly, such as the sea, mountains...
Li Yi seems to like that he is the only one in the empty world. The atmosphere is arranged to be very peaceful and comfortable, giving people a sense of relaxation.
But Luo Xian felt that this environment would make her feel horribly suffocated and insignificant.
So after coming in for a look, she evacuated as she pleased and escaped from Li Yi's dream.
However, what she didn't know was that as soon as she left, the dream took a terrifying turn.
Li Yi, who was immersed in tranquility, suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at the sky. The originally clear sky suddenly turned gray at some point.
Pieces of monotonous gray represent silence, as if they have become an endless wall.
And on the wall, there was a thin shadow trembling and roaring in pain.
Li Yi looked at this scene, and his straight spine suddenly showed a rare bend, and his raised head dropped unnaturally.
The dream turned into a nightmare.
As the nightmare evil objects advance, the thing Li Yi desires most in his heart is being destroyed. The gray wall and thin figure foreshadow his fate.
This gray wall is a prison that he cannot escape from in his life.
Li Yi's hands slowly clenched into fists, and the trembling pupils represented his struggle. He clenched his teeth and wanted to straighten his spine again and face the wall again.
Just like he just looked at the Buddha statue equally.
……
Luo Xian's consciousness had just returned to the room. Before she could pick up the cup of tea, the phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated.
Her expression became solemn. The letter coming at this time would most likely be a mission notification.
"Recipient: Tianhai Hotel, Manager of the Sixth Branch, Luoxian.
Please go to the unfinished building at No. 764 Guiyuan Road at 8 a.m. on January 3, 2016, and survive in the building until 24:00 on January 3, 2016.
…”
But before she could finish reading the mission, she suddenly frowned.
As the owner of the nightmare crime object, she was multitasking. The changes in Li Yi's dream appeared in her mind. At the same time, she also saw the wall and the thin figure.
And she seems to have seen this wall before...
"This is...this is!"
But there was not much time for multitasking, and the second mutation occurred.
The phone in the palm of my hand, with half of the task email in front of me, suddenly disappeared.
Withdrawn!
And when the text disappeared for half a minute, a new text content reappeared, and then the mission content had been completely replaced.
"Recipient, manager of the sixth branch of Tianhai Hotel, Luoxian.
The sixth store manager mission will start in four hours, and mission details will be announced after entering the mission.
Please return to the sixth branch at 15:00 on January 2, 2016 and wait for the transfer.
Please be prepared.
Sender: Tianhai. ”
Luo Xian closed the email and felt a wave of panic in her heart. She was not surprised by the arrival of the store manager's task, but was surprised by this "sudden" opportunity.
The sixth store manager mission suddenly started. The timing was so strange.
It's like... Tianhai doesn't want Luo Xian to see Li Yi's dream?
