Jiang Xiao felt much better this time. She pressed her solar plexus and only felt a slight stinging sensation, which was still within the tolerable range.
"Just now it seemed like my supernatural power came out again. I saw a new scene, different from the previous one. There was no one, only..." Jiang Xiao stopped talking and pursed his lips.
"Only what?" Li Xia couldn't wait to ask after hearing half of it.
"There was only an endless expanse of blood, a red so glaring it was blinding." There was also a sense of tragic desolation, even though no one appeared. No... it wasn't that no one appeared, it was more like no one could appear...
Jiang Xiao didn't say the rest of the words. Even if he did, no one would necessarily believe him. It was just a picture, and he was afraid that it would get out and cause unnecessary disputes.
"Captain, what kind of superpower do I have?" Jiang Xiao didn't say what she saw anymore. She wanted to know more about her situation. If she kept fainting like this, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to go out and would have to stay in the room.
Chen Hua didn't know what was going on with her for a moment. Shouldn't the psychic ability literally control the mind? Her current situation didn't match that!
For a moment, the four of them were confused and could only stare blankly and daydream.
"Wait, Xiaoxiao, the first thing you saw was me, right?" Zhao Jin suddenly remembered the first words Jiang Xiao said before he fainted.
Outside, Shi Jiu just came out and saw the four people in a panic. He asked Qin Lou about the situation. After learning that nothing had happened, he let the matter go.
"Oh, that should be fine." As long as nothing serious happens in the hotel that involves life, it's not a big problem.
"Is there anything you need me to do?" Qin Lou asked.
"No, I just came out to see if the two people who booked a room at noon have arrived yet?"
Shi Jiu had just finished washing up, with half-dry hair draped behind her. Her originally fair cheeks now looked rosy because of the faster blood circulation after taking a bath.
"I'm here. There's a special ability team behind us. I asked if the boss was there. I said you went to rest and would probably come again tomorrow morning." Qin Lou reported what had just happened.
"Looking for me? Is there anything you want to talk about?" Shi Jiu frowned slightly. Does he need to meet someone at this time?
"No, I've already let them stay in two rooms on the second floor," Qin Lou said.
"Well done!" Shi Jiu felt relieved. She really didn't want to see any guests at this time, but she was also afraid that the guest might be a big customer. She would feel bad if she let go of a handful of crystal cores.
"It's getting late. If you feel tired, just close the shop and go get some rest. I don't think many customers will come now."
Shi Jiu looked at the time and it was almost time. The hotel did not need to operate 24 hours a day for the time being, but he could consider it later...
Qin Lou checked his tablet. It was almost ten o'clock, which was still quite early in his normal life. "Okay, I'll clean up."
"Then I'll go back and rest." Shi Jiu yawned and turned back to the room. Wait, it seemed like there was something else he hadn't done yet...
The moment the door was closed, Qin Lou's expression, which had been gentle before, instantly turned cold.
When the girl saw him, her expression turned horrified, and she fainted the next second. Her teammates seemed to know something and hurriedly took her back to the room. What did she see...
Qin Lou's intuition told him that it must be related to him, or some not-so-nice things... His hand unconsciously touched the flower next to him, rubbing it lightly.
Shi Jiu, who had just returned to the room, went to the farm pasture to see if it needed any replenishment. The wheat and rice planted in the afternoon had already been harvested in two batches, each harvest was 50kg. There would be delicious rice tomorrow, and breakfast would also be unlocked.
Shi Jiu saw that a lot of dishes had been unlocked in the restaurant and was already looking forward to tomorrow's meals. Oh, and there were chickens and ducks, so they could make a variety of dishes tomorrow too!
When she thought about the delicious food and spicy drinks tomorrow, she became completely energetic even though she was originally drowsy.
Shi Jiu clicked on the ranch to check out the cute chicks and ducklings. "Hey, it looks like the chicken and duck eggs haven't been harvested yet."
She now understood why she always felt like she had something left to do.
After all, it’s the other party’s first day here, so I’d better remind him again.
She didn't know whether Qin Lou had gone to rest. If he had closed the door, she would have to go and collect the goods herself so as not to affect the next batch of harvest. Shi Jiu stood up and opened the door again, ready to go out and see what was going on.
As soon as she walked out of the room, from Shi Jiu's perspective, she saw Qin Lou standing behind the counter with his head lowered. His slender white hand was fiddling with the dormant 001. For some reason, she seemed to see the leaf tremble.
It must be an illusion, she shook off this unrealistic idea.
001 was clearly in hibernation, how could it be possible for it to wake up? Besides, if it woke up, it should contact her.
"Ahem, uh...that Qin Lou." Shi Jiu saw Qin Lou standing there, as if thinking about something, so he coughed twice unnaturally, trying to wake him up.
"Hmm? Boss? Is there anything else?" Qin Lou woke up from his thoughts after hearing the voice. He immediately let go of the flower leaves in his hand, stood up and looked at Shi Jiu.
"Remember to go to the ranch to collect the chicken and duck eggs before closing. You can put them in the cabinet inside after you collect them."
Shi Jiu reminded him that what she needed to take care of right now were the eggs, because the production robot would automatically help her harvest the farmed poultry, and then put the chicks and ducklings she had bought into cages for breeding, over and over again.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Qin Lou naturally put his right hand back to his side and answered her with a serious face, completely ignoring the fact that he was fiddling with the flowers and leaves just now.
"Then I'll go to rest." Shi Jiu nodded, turned and left. When she was about to return to the room, she turned around and asked the question that had been in her mind.
"Um... do you like flowers?"
"It's okay." Qin Lou looked down at the flowerpot that smelled of money. It was okay. It felt good to touch.
"Then... shall I find other flowers for you? The main thing is that this pot of flowers is quite special." Shi Jiu said a little embarrassedly.
There's no way around it. This pot of flower is 001, it's just dormant. Currently, she and Qin Lou are both employees, and it doesn't seem right to treat the boss like this.
She was mainly worried that 001 would suddenly wake up on a whim one day, and Qin Lou would happen to be touching it. No matter how the subsequent plot unfolded, it seemed so disharmonious. In order to avoid this from happening, Shi Jiu decided to solve the problem from the source.
She walked to Qin Lou's side, feeling a little embarrassed. It seemed like she was meddling in other people's business if she told him about this, since he had only touched the flower.
"It's just... this flower... is quite special. It's not an ordinary flower, it's that..." When she said the latter part, she lowered her voice and the words seemed to float out of her mouth.
At first, she didn't want to say that this was the carrier of the system, but then she thought, he had already heard the voice of the system, and he was an employee signed directly by the system, so it seemed natural for him to know about it.
Shi Jiu decided to ask about the situation first. "The electronic voice you heard earlier, besides saying that it would rescue you on the condition that you become a hotel employee, did it say anything else, such as what it called itself?"
Qin Lou looked down at her, briefly recalling what had happened before, and replied uncertainly, "It seems to be... a system? I wasn't in a very good state of mind at the time, so I might have misheard."
That should work!
"It's not a big deal, actually. The main thing is that it's the carrier of the system." Shi Jiu looked up at him, "The big boss I mentioned before was actually it. I haven't had much contact with it, so I don't know it well. In order to avoid it suddenly waking up and running into you..."
She gave him a look and told him that it would be hard to explain if he encountered the problem. What if the system behind him had a bad temper? Wouldn't we workers be in trouble?
In fact, Shi Jiu’s thinking is easy to understand. After entering society, he strictly distinguishes between public and private affairs when working, and doesn’t like to mix the two!
Even though the system she met earlier was quite friendly when they chatted, and she was not ambiguous when she responded to the customer service, this carrier is ultimately a system, and in fact, it is also her immediate superior. She can speak with moderation, but this body... after all, she can't touch it carelessly.
Qin Lou was more than a head taller than her. He lowered his head and was confused for a moment after hearing Shi Jiu's words. Then he reacted and couldn't help but smile.
"Boss, I think I understand." He looked at the furry head in front of him and resisted the urge to touch it.
"Yeah, I'm glad you understand!" Shi Jiu was afraid that she was not clear in her words at first. She thought that if he continued to ask, she would not say anything more and just let it go. Now that he understood, she felt relieved.
"If you really like flowers, I'll see if I can find you some to plant in the grass outside tomorrow. Then you'll have a beautiful little garden!"
After resolving this matter, Shi Jiu felt much more relaxed and could speak more freely to Qin Lou, an employee whom he had known for less than a day.
"It's okay, there's no need to bother with that. I don't have any..."
"Just think of it as a greeting gift for your employees!"
Before Qin Lou could finish, Shi Jiu said another sentence, blocking what he was about to say.
"Ah, what did you just say?"
"I say..." Qin Lou stopped what he was about to say and changed the subject, "If it's okay, then thank you."
"It's okay. I didn't hold any welcome ceremony for you today because it's your first day here. So go and rest early!" After Shi Jiu said that, he went back to the room. This time he really went back to rest!
After she returned to her room, she immediately collapsed on the bed. Her brain was no longer working, and she slowly lost consciousness, immersed in a sweet dream.
Qin Lou, who was still outside, took a look at the gray flowers, then reached out and plucked a handful, saying softly, "I'll let you go."
Then he went to take care of the ranch affairs, closed the gate, turned off the lights and went back to the room to rest.
