An old iron key was stuck in the red wooden door.
Gu Huaiwei unlocked the door with her key and pushed it open.
With a creaky sound, the door opened.
A musty smell hit me in the face.
The room was in a dilapidated state.
A broken chandelier hung from the ceiling.
A cold wind blew from somewhere, causing the chandelier to swing.
Gu Huaiwei moved away from the lamp to prevent it from falling and hitting her head.
The walls were covered with faded children's graffiti, written in a childish style. It showed a father and a mother holding hands with two little girls, standing at the entrance of a playground.
The wooden floor was full of cracks.
Two pink cribs, crawling with cockroaches.
The room has been dormant for more than ten years, and time has solidified into thick dust here.
Gu Huaiwei stood beside the crib, touching the grain of the wood with her fingers, and suddenly several blurry images flashed through her mind - she and her sister seemed to have lived in this house.
She tried hard to recall some things from the past, but they were like foggy glass, hazy, right there, yet unclear.
She doesn't remember much about her childhood.
I have no memory of my parents.
I only remember that life was hard and poor at that time. My sister would give her the unmolded part of the steamed bun and let her wear clothes with the least patches.
She has always been in poor health.
As a child, she ate little and was small and thin. As an adult, whenever she felt pain anywhere in her body, she would always attribute it to malnutrition.
Her elder sister is a great example, so there is no need for her to be too outstanding.
Following my sister, the days passed by one by one.
And my sister always has the ability to make life better and better.
She started with a bad hand of cards, but her sister helped her become a wealthy woman in City A.
Being with her sister, she has someone to rely on and doesn't need to have a strong personality. She suppresses the restless beast in her heart and becomes a well-behaved sister.
elder sister……
Gu Huaiwei bit her lower lip lightly. She knew that she was too dependent on her sister, which was not good, but she couldn't control it. They were connected by blood, and she couldn't stop thinking about it.
"What are you doing here?" Lin She appeared silently behind Gu Huaiwei like a ghost, his voice low and hoarse.
Gu Huaiwei looked back at Lin She. This man was really elusive. In the slightly dark environment, his dark green eyes glowed with a faint light and were particularly bright.
She nodded slightly and replied, "To see where the public trial is taking place."
This place doesn't look like a place for trial, but rather like an old house that has not been used for many years.
Lin She didn't pick up the topic, but said, "There's a new express delivery for you at the post station. I brought it in for you."
"Huh?" Gu Huaiwei frowned. "Express delivery? I didn't buy anything."
"I didn't open it and just left it at the front desk." Lin She said calmly, "The mailing address is District 1." He smelled a hint of blood in the envelope and secretly stuck out his forked tongue to lick his black lower lip.
"I'll go take a look."
Gu Huaiwei put her thoughts aside and walked quickly towards the door.
She opened the envelope and a human skin photo frame fell out and hit the front desk.
"Hiss——" Her fingertips trembled and her pupils contracted.
A square piece of leather, cut neatly, coated with preservative, and mounted in a frame.
The scar was particularly striking.
It's Scar Woman...
She looked at the return address on the envelope—"Black Spiral Research Institute, District 1 Headquarters."
There was also an invitation letter in the envelope.
They invited Gu Huaiwei to join their genetic research project and gave her a golden ticket.
That was the pass to get into Uptown.
If Xiao Youqi and Qian Duoduo saw it, they would fight for it at all costs.
Scar Woman’s enemy is from Uptown?
Gu Huaiwei had long expected that Scar Woman would die, and could also imagine her tragic death for revenge.
But when she saw the human skin with her own eyes, Gu Huaiwei was secretly angry, and her eyes were like jade washed by water, exposed to the golden light, faintly glowing with fire.
This is clearly a provocation from the Black Spiral Research Institute.
They sent this human skin to announce that although they had never shown up, they had already set their sights on her and were monitoring her every move.
They were just waiting, waiting for her to take the initiative to join the game.
Gu Huaiwei picked up the precious ticket to the upper town.
This is something that many people desire but cannot obtain, yet it fell into her hands so easily.
Did he know that she had a good relationship with Scar Woman, so he sent this human skin to her, attached an invitation and a ticket, so that she would come to him for revenge?
It seems that they also know that the Oasis Hotel's defense robots are invincible, so they try every possible means to lure the enemy into a trap.
Gu Huaiwei was not prepared to attend this Hongmen Banquet.
First, Scar Woman is already dead, and even if you go there you can’t save her.
Second, the upper city area is extremely far away from the Oasis Hotel, and Gu Huaiwei cannot get there by car.
Third, this is obviously a trap, and there is not enough bait in the trap. Unless they have a backup plan, Gu Huaiwei doesn't want to jump in.
Gu Huaiwei calmly put away the envelope, her fingertips brushed across the golden ticket, then she opened the drawer and locked everything in the cabinet.
Oasis Hotel is located in an above-ground contaminated area.
It is 20 kilometers away from the downtown area, and it takes more than half an hour to drive there without traffic jams.
It is two thousand kilometers away from the central city, which is equivalent to the distance from the capital to an economically developed coastal city.
It is 8,000 kilometers away from the upper city, which is equivalent to the distance from China to the Pyramid Country.
These are all straight-line distances, and transportation is extremely inconvenient.
As the hotel was upgraded to three stars, the number of vacant rooms increased significantly.
