Chapter 19 No One Survives 19
Just as Yili was about to continue watching, the bell rang again.
Yili remembered.
She forgot about VIP No. 1245's lunch.
She hasn't found any useful clues yet.
She picked up the phone and heard the furious voice of VIP 1245 on the other end.
"Where's my lunch? I'm starving! Do you want to die? I'm going to kill you! Kill you!"
"I'm sorry, sir, the food here is a little slow to prepare and the taste is not good. If you are anxious to have a delicious lunch, I personally suggest that you call the kitchen's private order number 1234567 and note the house number and the food. You will be able to enjoy more delicious food."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. This is something I discovered through my personal exploration. Please keep it a secret for me, sir, otherwise I will be punished. After all, this is an unconventional way to get delicious food." Yi Li had a sweet smile and a sweet voice, which made people not angry at all.
The other party was calmed down: "Since you say so, then I will try it. However, if you dare to disappoint me, I will definitely complain to you."
Yi Li said firmly, "Don't worry, sir. I will not let you down."
She looked at the crumpled little note without any panic.
She didn't want to bear the risks and costs of an inexplicable note.
What's more, her intuition told her not to make that call.
Since the person opposite her has come to her door, she naturally has to make good use of him, right?
This place is very close to the elevator and is the only way to get up. If anything comes up, she will find it.
However, this also brings with it the risk of being killed.
She continued to flip through her journal while keeping an eye on her surroundings.
"...I recalled many details about Xiaomei. Xiaomei and I met in college and have always been good friends. She and I lived in the same dorm. Knowing that my family was poor, she often brought me food and helped me out. She told me that she loved me, which was why she was so nice to me.
I believed her and wanted to live with her before graduation. Until one night, I woke up in a daze and found her standing in front of my roommate who had joked with me the day before with a dagger in her hand.
My blood froze in that instant. She spotted me, and I turned to run, but a pain in my neck caused me to pass out. When I woke up, I was in the hospital. My roommate said I'd fainted in the bathroom from hypoglycemia, and it was Xiaomei who found me and called 911. I thought it was a dream, but now it's not.
But this incident still left a thorn in my heart. After graduation, I refused Xiaomei's request to live with me and lived alone. But sometimes we still spent wonderful nights together.
Xiaomei persuaded me to live with her so I wouldn't have to pay the high rent. I refused because of that dream, and I was afraid I'd have no way out. Xiaomei respected me, and I was deeply moved.
She knew that I had no money to pay the rent, so she told me that her uncle was the manager of the cruise ship and that the cruise ship was short of staff. The salary was 5,000 yuan a day, and I only needed to work ten days to get a salary of 50,000 yuan.
If I met someone wealthy and in a good mood, I could even get a free tip. I was tempted, so I agreed. Now thinking about it, I regret it so much.
Xiaomei is a man-eating monster!
*%month$# day
It was my fourth day here, and I was exhausted and, surprisingly, thirsty. I began desperately searching for water, trying to hydrate myself. But it was no use; my tentacles continued to clamor for thirst. When Xiaomo found out, he wouldn't let me drink and even followed me closely.
I'm afraid of this man-eating monster and want to stay away from her. But I don't dare. I'm really afraid of being eaten by Xiaomei. Why has my former love become like this? Why have I become so strange?
Thirst overcame my fear, and I had a huge argument with her, even hurting her. I felt guilty, but I still ran away. The manager gave me a note and told me that if I felt thirsty, I could call the number on it and they would help me solve the problem.
I couldn't help but call them and tell them what I wanted. They told me they'd be here soon. They brought a medium-rare steak. I didn't understand how my hunger and thirst had anything to do with the steak, but I ate it anyway. Miraculously, my thirst was gone. The steak was truly delicious, every bite smooth and tender, like a baby's delicate skin. It was the best meat I'd ever tasted.
I watched them leave reluctantly. Their reward was very simple. They only asked for one of my ugly tentacle. That tentacle even had five forked and disgusting things at the end. I didn't want it anymore.
Xiaomei found out and called me an idiot. I didn't want to argue with her anymore, so I broke up with her. Xiaomei looked at me with despair in her eyes and left without saying a word.
The elevator door made a ding sound at this moment.
The elevator door opened.
A group of people wearing dark blue anti-aircraft suits came over.
Yili looked up and they also noticed her.
Yi Li quickly lowered his head and hid the diary in the "Front Desk Clerk's Work Manual".
Instead of finding her, they headed to the door of 1245 where the call had been made.
They also held a tinfoil cooler bag in their hands.
There was a knock on the door.
The quiet corridor could be heard from the man on the phone with an irritable voice.
"Why did you come just now?"
"Sorry, sir, I've kept you waiting. This is the lunch you ordered, please enjoy it."
"Okay, put it in."
The door closed with a click.
Yi Li silently wrote down everything that had just happened.
It must be said that the sound insulation of these residences was very good. Even if she wanted to know what was happening inside, she could not leave her work station.
She suppressed her curiosity again.
Tell yourself silently.
Don't be impulsive.
I don’t know how long it took, but Yili didn’t look at the diary again. Instead, he sat there, as dedicated as a real front desk clerk.
Just when she felt like sleeping in this quiet and dim place, the door was opened again.
The resident of 1245, who was originally full of energy, now had a weak voice but could not hide his excitement.
“Thank you for the delicious food. I am very satisfied and look forward to seeing you next time.”
"The same to us, sir." The person who spoke was polite, which made people feel quite favorable towards him.
When Yili saw those people step into his sight, his pupils suddenly trembled. They actually held a bloody lower body in their hands.
As expected, Yili knew what kind of reward they were receiving.
Yi Li is now extremely glad that he did not dial that number himself.
Instead, the number was given to the VIP at 1245.
I've been quite busy lately, so I'll update 2,000 words each tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I'll give you a 10,000-word performance on Friday.
