apartment
He couldn't help but glance at Lili again. Seeing that Lili didn't seem to notice him, he subconsciously looked towards the bathroom.
There is a mirror there.
There was no mirror in the apartment, so he had no idea what he looked like. If he wanted to see it, he had to go to the office.
He hesitated, but the bathroom seemed to have more and more strange magic. The more he controlled himself, the more he wanted to see it.
He stood up suddenly, making such a loud noise that everyone around him was startled and looked at him.
He did not look down at his colleagues who he worked with day and night. If he had looked, he would have found that these colleagues had no faces, just a blurry mass, like a mosaic.
Only Lili's face was clear.
He rushed to the mirror and saw a very unfamiliar face.
Traces of many people can be seen on this face, including He Lizhou, Peng Ningyu, Sheng Ju, and Long Yao.
*
Long Yao suddenly woke up and looked down at the sink.
The faucet sensed someone approaching and water flowed out. Long Yao caught some and splashed it on his face.
I don’t know what happened to me.
Long Yao narrowed his eyes and carefully recalled his itinerary yesterday, but did not find anything unusual.
I still got infected.
And it happened unknowingly. Long Yao had never suffered such a big loss since he entered the dungeon.
Long Yao couldn't help but grit his teeth. It really was a single-player dungeon. One could get caught if one wasn't careful.
If Lili hadn't insisted on going to the bathroom to touch up her makeup today, he probably wouldn't have noticed anything unusual and would have slowly become a character in the copy.
This time it was really dangerous.
Long Yao thought of the face he had just seen in the mirror. The feature was blurry, but he could still see that there were at least two other people besides him.
As for the strange hotel they met on the way, Long Yao planned to follow his intuition when he came here and take another look at it on the way back to the apartment.
That intuition came suddenly and strongly. Now that I'm sober and think about it carefully, I feel that it was clearly telling me that it was safe there and that as long as I go in there, I will wake up.
Having accumulated so much experience in dungeons, their intuition is often no longer just intuition, but the key to saving their lives in times of crisis.
It was just that I was too assimilated at the time and ignored that intuition.
At the same time, the four of them have all woken up.
Peng Ningyu closed her eyes, and the face just now appeared again, a face with the facial features of herself, He Lizhou and Sheng Ju.
There should be another person, but she has never seen that person and is not sure whether it is the player or the original owner.
Peng Ningyu secretly took note of this and planned to talk to He Lizhou about it after leaving the dungeon. If he was a player, then his strength should be considered good, and He Lizhou might want to recruit him.
In the process of assimilating into the original owner, Peng Ningyu came across He Lizhou's hotel on the way to work. She planned to take a look after get off work. Maybe it would give her a brief relief like the previous copy.
She didn't plan to move in directly to save her life for seven days. He Lizhou had clearly emphasized that no one knew the consequences of doing so, and she might lose her self-awareness. She should not rely on it unless it was absolutely necessary.
He Lizhou and Sheng Ju also did not ignore the appearance of the inn. They also planned to go over and take a look. Maybe it would be the only place in the copy that connected time and space. They could meet and discuss what to do next.
The four of them chose a hotel at the same time. He Lizhou was the first to skip work and leave, preparing to go to the hotel to "open business" first.
After all, it was his inn, and he was afraid that if he wasn't there, the inn would be restricted by the copy and unable to open.
For example, this morning, the hotel was under renovation and we couldn’t enter.
He Lizhou skipped work again, which shocked Lili. "Why are you running away again?"
He Lizhou was caught red-handed, but he didn't panic. He turned around and smiled, "I have something urgent to do. Can Sister Lili help me punch in?"
Lili nodded expressionlessly, and He Lizhou smiled slightly, "Thank you, Sister Lili, I'll bring you snacks tomorrow."
Lili waved her hand and sent He Lizhou away.
When He Lizhou left, it was not rush hour, so the traffic was smooth and he arrived at the hotel entrance in just a few minutes.
The inside was still under renovation and didn't look like it was open to the public. He Lizhou thought about it and walked in.
A few of the workers looked up and saw that it was He Lizhou. They greeted him lazily, "Boss, come and supervise us. It's time to get off work."
When He Lizhou heard their greetings, he realized that this was the system's rules taking effect. He had priority in the copy, and he felt relieved and nodded with a smile.
"I just came to take a look and brought you some drinks. Thank you for your hard work."
When the workers saw that there were indeed several stacks of drinks behind He Lizhou, their expressions improved and their tone softened, "Thank you, boss."
He Lizhou nodded. "Take as much as you want. I'll give you more after you finish drinking. But I want to ask you something. Why is there no hotel in this area? I think this is a prosperous area."
The worker had just drunk He Lizhou's drink, so he was willing to tell He Lizhou the truth. "Boss, when I first saw you, I knew you were from another place. Don't you know that something happened on this street two years ago..."
The man next to him nudged him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about with the boss? Those mysterious things are just made up by everyone to entertain people! What's there to say? It's just a waste of time."
He Lizhou did not miss this point, his eyes moved slightly, "What's the matter?"
Seeing He Lizhou's questioning, the worker who had stopped the first person from speaking stopped talking and quietly moved further away from them.
The expressions of the other workers were also indifferent, which was completely different from the expressions on their faces when they just took He Lizhou's drinks. They looked as if they were avoiding the topic, and their eyes looking at the two of them were obviously cold.
The worker who was chatting with He Lizhou had a foreign accent. It was very likely that he was not afraid of the local dialect, so he didn't care about it.
"About ten years ago, this was still a powerful business circle in the city..."
Liu Fengmao adjusted his suit and confirmed that he looked neat and tidy in the mirror before getting out of the car and entering the tall banquet hall.
He also entered a class that he had never come into contact with before.
The place was already crowded with people, with laughter and chatter all around, and people clinking glasses everywhere. Everyone was dressed formally, and very few brought female companions. Even if they did, most of them dressed modestly. At a glance, it was a sea of suits.
Liu Fengmao suddenly felt that he was suffocating in this place full of drinking and feasting.
Before he could decide whether to leave or not, someone had already spotted him.
The other party came over warmly, "Hey, isn't this Mr. Liu? Mr. Liu, let me toast you."
A waiter came up with a tray, bent down respectfully, and handed the glass filled with crystal wine to Liu Fengmao. He only needed to slightly turn his hand to get it.
Liu Fengmao couldn't help but loosen his tie, which he was not used to, and coughed lightly before picking up the wine glass.
When the other party saw Liu Fengmao pick up the wine glass, he smiled with relief, tilted his head back, and drank the whole glass of wine.
Seeing him praising him like this, Liu Fengmao couldn't help feeling a little smug. He took a sip and nodded reservedly.
The other person's smile was a little stiff, but Liu Fengmao was in high spirits and did not notice the man's expression.
It was not until Liu Fengmao entered the social circle that the man put the cup back on the waiter's tray with resentment, "What is there to be proud of? It was just a piece of shabby land, and now it has become a new rich."
The female companion next to him pinched him lightly, signaling him to be careful with his words and actions.
The man gave the waiter a warning look and turned away.
At this time, Liu Fengmao had already entered the inner circle. The countless bigwigs whom he had once looked up to but could not see now gathered around him one by one, asking him earnestly, "What are you going to build on that piece of land, Mr. Liu? That's a good place. It will be valuable if we plan a new district in the future!"
Liu Fengmao was drunk and burping as he pointed out Jiangshan, "I want to build an apartment!"
The bigwigs around couldn't help but think it was ridiculous. Apartment? Such a good piece of land, and they actually asked this brainless person to build an apartment?
If it is turned into a shopping mall, or at worst a commercial building, the profit will not be much!
Liu Fengmao was already drunk. He didn't notice the looks from people around him and was still immersed in beautiful fantasies.
"I only have this piece of land. My wife used to think that houses were too expensive and she couldn't afford one on her low salary. I built an apartment so that everyone will have a place to live in the future."
No more having to live in that shabby relief house with a leaky roof.
Liu Fengmao still had a bit of consciousness left and did not say the rest of the sentence, for fear that these wealthy people would laugh at him. However, if someone had built an apartment here earlier, he and his wife would have had some savings.
My wife’s illness will not be delayed until we give up treatment because we have no money, and then she will die with regrets.
Liu Fengmao suddenly started to be dazed holding his wine glass. Why couldn't it be earlier?
Two years earlier, no, just one year will do, one year earlier, he could have sold the land and used it to pay for his wife's medical treatment.
Liu Fengmao suddenly burst into tears at the banquet. People around him were proud of their status and kept their distance from him. They still felt in their hearts that nouveau riche were not worthy of being in the public eye.
The drinking habits are very poor.
Liu Fengmao cried for a while and felt much better, but he still couldn't control himself and sobbed softly.
Someone came up to him and whispered, "Mr. Liu, I see you are in a sad mood. What has happened to you? You have a great opportunity now, why don't you take advantage of it to make more plans?"
Liu Fengmao raised his head in a daze. His vision was blurry and he could only see a man in a cloak. It was a very strange attire, but the people in the banquet hall seemed not to have noticed him. They were still doing their own things and socializing lively.
Liu Fengmao asked, "Who are you?"
The other person tilted his head and smiled, "It doesn't matter if you don't know me. I'm here to help you reunite with your wife."
Liu Fengmao was overjoyed when he heard this. He rushed over and didn't care when he missed. He got up and continued to ask: "Tell me how to do it."
The other party smiled mysteriously, and three words came out of his mouth: "Road Evil."
Liu Fengmao had never come across such things before and was very confused, but when he looked again, he could no longer find any trace of that person.
Road evil.
The drunkenness in Liu Fengmao's eyes gradually faded away, and turned into fierceness and determination.
He went to do it.
He made a crazy decision and involved everyone in the apartment.
The apartment he built is the one where He Lizhou and his family live.
Use the lives of all residents of the apartment building as a road to lead the underworld back.
Liu Fengmao devoted all his energy for the rest of his life to this matter, but no one knew that Liu Fengmao actually didn't see that person that day.
It was a drunken dream.
