Chapter 163 Hotel Copy (Twenty-one)
Those faint voices still lingered in this special space, still trying to stop Ning Hanqi from leaving.
This is an individual composed of several residual souls. Perhaps because of the damage to their souls, they have almost no independent consciousness and only instincts remain.
They thought that trapping Ning Hanqi here could avoid disaster, but they didn't know that trapping human players here was also a form of slow death. However, this was not their fault, because they did not realize that they were in a game copy. They only knew that a girl was about to experience the nightmare they had in their previous lives.
Xia Yingnuan locked onto the locations of the ghosts, then wove a blood-red net to catch them. Seeing that they wanted to help Ning Hanqi, she was not reluctant to show some kindness.
"Come on, I'll take you to take revenge on that guy." Xia Yingnuan patted them.
The two sisters wouldn't fight each other. Although Ning Hanshu has a gloomy face all day long, she is a real sister-con, even if her sister becomes less and less cute.
But this time, Ning Hanshu really saw the signs of danger, so he was furious, "Ning Hanqi! Do you know that your current thoughts are very dangerous?!"
Ning Hanqi stood at the desk, sorting things and ignored her sister's anger.
"If you really dare to test the boundaries of the law, I will break your legs! And then, then write a letter to Nuannuan every day and burn it! Let her see what you have done!"
Ning Hanqi's words were stuck in his throat. Who did he learn this from?
"I know. I won't." In order to prevent Ning Hanshu from interfering with her plan, Ning Hanqi lied to her sister for the first time.
Ning Hanshu breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still a little worried when she looked at her sister's profile.
"Knock knock knock..." Kou Zishu stood at the door and knocked in embarrassment. She should have avoided the quarrel between sisters, but the ghost beside her kept urging her and threatening her with a "reward" that she could not refuse.
"Ning, Director Ning, what happened?" Kou Zishu said with a guilty conscience.
"fine."
Xia Yingnuan walked around Kou Zishu and entered the house, "Sister Hanshu, you have to give way to senior sister, don't bully her...Ahhhhhhhh!"
Xia Yingnuan's extremely high-decibel scream stimulated Kou Zishu so much that he subconsciously shrank to the side. Just at this moment, Ning Hanshu took a step forward, and it seemed as if Ning Hanshu scared Kou Zishu.
Ning Hanshu felt that he might need to explain things to the juniors he admired.
"!!!" Xia Yingnuan looked at the pink envelopes spread out on the desk and screamed like a groundhog.
How did the love letters she hid get discovered?! Help! She didn't have time to destroy the evidence! What kind of social demise is this?!
Aunt Liu had prepared the meal and invited them to come and eat. Ning Hanqi told them to go first and not wait for her.
Ning Hanshu saw his sister staring blankly at the love letter that his late wife had written to her but never handed over, and silently took his junior out of the study.
Ning Hanqi placed the letter on the desk. She had just found it when she was sorting out Nuannuan's belongings. She sorted them out one by one in chronological order, then took out the earliest letter and unfolded it.
Xia Yingnuan went to her own studio and became autistic. She was afraid that after seeing her senior's expression, she would never dare to go home again.
That was the first love letter Xia Yingnuan wrote. Her literary talent was very poor, and she wrote and revised it countless times before carefully putting it away. Even so, one could still tell from her words how young and ignorant Xia Yingnuan was at that time, and how she cautiously admired the unattainable senior schoolmate. She wrote this letter with the courage of a momentary impulse.
But her courage did not last until she handed over the letter, otherwise perhaps they would not be like this now.
"...Senior Ning, do you believe that fate can make people fall in love at first sight? If not, why not try to believe it now?"
Ning Hanqi's eyes gradually turned red. A few words brought her back to that sunny afternoon. She was walking on the road and saw an isolated suitcase. There was no one around. There was a ditch next to it, and the weeds showed signs of being crushed. She immediately had a bad premonition.
When I walked to the front and took a look, I saw that a student had fallen down.
The girl sat dejectedly in the pit. When she heard the noise of herself coming, she raised her head and looked at herself with an innocent and silly face. She thought at that time, she was such a silly girl that she fell into such an obvious ditch.
When Nuannuan found out the price he paid for dirtying his clothes in order to pull her up, she looked so adorable that she wanted to jump back into the ditch and grow like a mushroom.
But there was one thing that Nuannuan said that was wrong. That day was not their first meeting. The fate between them had been established a long time ago.
At the end of the letter, there is a bold request from the young girl.
"After I pay off the money for the clothes, will you be my girlfriend?"
A homemade bookmark fell out of the envelope, on which was written a poem in plum blossom-style small calligraphy, taken from the Book of Songs "There Are Wild Vines".
"There are creeping weeds in the wild, dripping with dew. There is a beautiful person, clear and graceful. Our chance encounter is just what I wish for..."
Although it is a poem, it seems like a more explicit confession.
Ning Hanqi put the letter a little further away, because when tears rolled down her eyes, she didn't want to wet the last thing Nuannuan left for her.
Why did she only realize it now? If she knew that Nuannuan had liked her a long time ago...
Xia Yingnuan was restless in the studio. Did the senior see it? She must have seen it... The junior who had been so kind to help her actually had such thoughts about her. How could the senior think that?
"Miss Xia, are you there?" Kou Zishu's low voice came from outside the door. She looked around the villa but couldn't find Xia Yingnuan. When she came to this door, she suddenly felt that the temperature had dropped a lot, so she asked tentatively.
Xia Yingnuan weakly poked her head out from the door and said, "I'm here."
The feeling of having a head hanging above the door was really a bit creepy, but Miss Xia didn't seem to be aware of it at all. Kou Zishu could only bite the bullet and say, "You just said that as long as I stop them from quarreling, you'll tell me the clues about the case."
"In the eastern district of City B, a group of hooligans formed an organization. What's it called... the Qinglong Gang? I think it's called that. Catch their leader and put him on trial. You will get unexpected results." Xia Yingnuan said weakly and retracted her head.
Although she knew nothing about her own situation, with the help of the novel's plot, Xia Yingnuan knew everything about the heroine and successfully made her pretend!
"Please wait a moment!" Kou Zishu finally realized the importance of this ghost.
Xia Yingnuan stuck her head out again.
"How did you know this?"
"If I say I can tell by just counting on my fingers, you probably won't believe me..."
"If you can calculate, why didn't you calculate your own death?" Kou Zishu really had no ill intentions, he just asked with some doubt.
Xia Yingnuan's heart was hurt, and she said angrily, "Don't you know that if a doctor doesn't treat himself, he is not treating others but himself?"
"I'm sorry, I'm ignorant." Kou Zishu apologized immediately.
Seeing that the other person admitted his mistake so quickly, Xia Yingnuan snorted to indicate that she didn't care.
"I know a lot more things. Don't look at me like that. The victims of some of these cases are older than me! How could I be the murderer!" Xia Yingnuan reached out and poked Kou Zishu's wandering head. Now she could bump into anyone she wanted, except her senior schoolmate.
When the cold fingers pointed at his forehead, Kou Zishu felt a chill all over his body.
"Then... could you..."
"cannot."
Kou Zishu was poked on the forehead again.
"There's no such thing as a free lunch. If you want information, you have to exchange it for something." Get free labor!
"Can't Ning Chu come?"
Hey! The hostess is really smart!
"I can give you a discount if Sister Hanshu comes, but only if you convince her of my existence." According to Xia Yingnuan's understanding, getting Ning Hanshu to believe that ghosts exist without being able to see them with her own eyes would be harder than climbing to heaven! If Kou Zishu had mentioned it, she might have been greeted with a lecture on ideology.
Kou Zishu fell silent as expected.
"Well, I have a favor that I need your help with. How about cooperating?"
"...Including the case from twenty years ago?" Kou Zishu clenched his fists and stared at Xia Yingnuan.
"Of course." Xia Yingnuan nodded. The case twenty years ago was about Kou Zishu's father, and it was also what the other party had been investigating.
Kou Zishu knew she couldn't refuse, so she asked Xia Yingnuan, "What can I do for you?"
Xia Yingnuan then made a confusing request, trying everything to stop her wife from tracking down the murderer while at the same time not letting her wife know about the existence of her ghost.
"Aren't you going to try to tell Miss Ning about your existence?" Kou Zishu watched the head slide dejectedly from the middle of the door to the ground after she asked the question. She silently took a step back.
"You don't understand. When a person is socially dead, she will want to erase all traces of her existence." Xia Yingnuan's original plan was completely disrupted by the discovery of the love letter by her senior. Now she just wants to be an ostrich.
"Then what should I say about this matter? I don't think Miss Ning will necessarily listen to me..." Kou Zishu seemed a little embarrassed.
"I don't care, I don't care. No matter what method you use, as long as you succeed, I will give you two pieces of information!" Xia Yingnuan's head rolled from one side of the door to the other, and cast a magic that Kou Zishu could not refuse - I will double it!
"I'll try my best!" Kou Zishu succumbed to the temptation that he couldn't refuse.
With a lot on his mind, Kou Zishu returned to the living room with a serious expression.
Xia Yingnuan retreated back into her studio. Although her soul was here, her heart was always floating next door.
"Meow!" The little thing Coal Ball opened the door of the studio with his agile body and got in, then twisted his butt and closed the door.
"Coal balls..." Xia Yingnuan shouted weakly.
The kitten circled the studio, as if inspecting its territory, then suddenly scurried under a cabinet and pulled out a piece of dusty paper. Xia Yingnuan took a closer look and realized it was the half-painted portrait of Meiqiu that had mysteriously disappeared! She'd been wondering why it was gone! It turned out this little rascal had hidden it!
Ignoring the kitten's dissatisfied meows, Xia Yingnuan raised the painting. One day, she saw the kitten chasing a grasshopper in the yard and had an idea. She decided to paint the scene. However, she had just finished the part about the coal balls when the painting disappeared and the painting was left unfinished.
Because the painting was not well maintained, it was covered with a layer of dust.
"Meiqiu, you are really a little bad guy!" Xia Yingnuan sighed.
The painting was ruined. Xia Yingnuan gently touched the eyes of the kitten in the painting, but...
Xia Yingnuan narrowed her eyes. Was it her imagination? Why did she feel like the kitten's eyes in the painting suddenly lit up? And it seemed to have stolen a little power from her fingertips.
Xia Yingnuan felt like she had discovered a new world. After repeated experiments, she found that after injecting the mysterious power within her body into the painting, the painting suddenly became lifelike! Every strand of cat hair seemed to be shaking, eerily as if it was about to jump out of the painting.
"That's good."
It was now almost time for most of the guests to go to bed. Some had lost their lives in their sleep, and some rooms that were farther away from the center of the explosion had gradually become noisy. They were wailing and shouting for help, as if they had been slowly burned to death in a sea of fire.
The explosion in Building 1 has not yet affected Building 2, but judging from the spread of the fire, Building 2 is not truly safe either.
Do you want to call that lunatic down first?
Ning Hanqi was just thinking about it when the madman ran down on his own because of the noise from Building 1.
"Oh my God, what's going on?" The madman looked at Building 1 in shock. Thinking that his goods were still there, cold sweat instantly broke out on his face.
