Chapter 62 Super Strong
It was almost late at night in the silent Tianhai Hotel.
Tongguan and Changnian had already gone to bed in their clothes to get rid of the fatigue after the long mission;
Fang Shenyan also lay flat on the bed, but his eyes were wide open, and he glanced at the door from time to time, as if he was alert and annoyed by something.
The ghosts on the second floor were extremely quiet. During the period after the new residents moved in, no abnormal situation occurred.
Only at the round-cornered desk on the first floor, two figures facing each other in silence were negotiating imperceptibly.
Ji Li stared at Yu Guo for a long time, and seeing that he was slow to speak, he grabbed the cigarette box from the table again, took out two cigarettes casually, and handed them over.
Yu Guo's face was a little dark, and his body was hidden in most of the shadows, but a small part of his body was still exposed, which seemed to symbolize his embarrassment and impatience at the moment.
After seeing Ji Li's actions, he sighed, put down all his burdens, walked out of the darkness, and took the cigarette.
Ji Li sat back in his seat. He was not very tired, but his mind was a little messy because of the previous incident. At this moment, he had returned to his peak state after an afternoon of meditation.
While smoking, he looked at Yu Guo, who was hesitant to speak, and figured out that he had something to ask for.
Suddenly, Ji Li wanted to laugh. He had never seen Yu Guo hesitate so much about something.
Yu Guo was a person who had a large proportion in Ji Li's heart.
This person was kind-hearted, friendly, and not bound by etiquette. He was bold but meticulous.
In this hotel, everyone had a secret in their hearts, and the reason why Ji Li looked at Yu Guo differently was that the young man's secret was obviously not very complicated.
In other words, Yu Guo was the person with the simplest background and temperament among them.
Ji Li thought for a while and asked, "What exactly did you come to me for?"
Yu Guo didn't say it, but his behavior also explained something. Obviously, he had something to ask of Ji Li.
After struggling for a long time, he suddenly put out the cigarette he had not finished smoking, looked at Ji Li and said:
"Can you go out with me?"
Ji Li nodded while smoking, and asked casually: "Is it dangerous?"
"Maybe, maybe not."
Yu Guo's face also had some contradictions, as if he couldn't tell what he was going to face next, and could only give this ambiguous answer.
"It seems to be related to ghosts..." Ji Li did not show any emotion on the surface, but weighed the pros and cons in his heart.
Yu Guo is a talent. He can do things that most people dare not do, and he is very suitable to be a gunman.
And he and Ji Li have also had life-threatening experiences, so they seem to be trustworthy.
Ji Li pondered his current situation. The second personality is almost asleep, the third personality cannot be trusted, and the fourth personality is hidden.
The gray soul above his head is like a blade hanging from a beam, which may fall at any time.
He has never had anyone he can trust, and Yu Guo in front of him seems to be the only choice left.
Thinking of this, Ji Li looked at Yu Guo, who had a serious face, and guessed that if he followed him, there would be a high probability of crisis.
Yu Guo gritted his teeth. He looked at Ji Li, who had an expressionless face, and could not guess what he was thinking.
He hesitated for a moment and was about to make a promise, but was interrupted by Ji Li's action.
Ji Li put out the cigarette in his hand, wrapped his windbreaker around him, walked to the door of the hotel, and said concisely:
"Let's go."
Yu Guo was stunned. He looked at Ji Li's back with some doubts. He didn't think that Ji Li would agree to his abrupt request without knowing the reason.
But in his heart, some emotions began to brew, and his eyes gradually became gentle.
Ji Li's figure moved forward and gently pushed open the door of the hotel. Listening to the slightly heavy footsteps behind him, there was a hint of smile in his eyes.
Normally, Ji Li should ask Yu Guo for some kind of guarantee. The best thing is that Yu Guo will follow Ji Li's lead in the future and stand on the same team with him completely.
This is an unspoken condition, and both Ji Li and Yu Guo are very clear about it.
But once this kind of thing is said, it becomes a "transaction"!
Ji Li wants more than just a transaction. The binding relationship achieved through the transaction is not reliable. He has a more reliable way: emotion!
The reason why people are human is because of the complex but sincere emotions.
Before Yu Guo took the initiative to propose the conditions, Ji Li used his actions to completely kill the transaction, thus planting the seeds of debt in Yu Guo's heart.
In the future, Yu Guo will always hold a grateful attitude when facing Ji Li.
They will become companions unknowingly, and this "relationship bond" brought by emotions is much safer than a cold transaction!
This is the mind.
On the bank of the moat, two men stood side by side on the shore, and the sharp cold wind blew the ends of their hair, bringing their sights to the south.
"Tiannan Drama Academy, the university where my former fiancée, A Lian, worked.
One year ago today, on that ordinary day, she went to work as usual and never came back.
She died on October 27, 2014, in that university, and I didn't get to see her for the last time."
Yu Guo put away his previous smiling face and replaced it with a deep and long-lasting nostalgia. His right hand gently stroked the wedding ring on his left finger, with a sadness in his eyes that Ji Li had never seen before.
Ji Li had never missed someone before, and he couldn't empathize with him, but he noticed the decline emanating from Yu Guo.
"So, do you want me to go with you to Tiannan Drama Academy to pay tribute to A-Lian?"
Yu Guo's gaze shifted from the south to the front, looking at Ji Li's face and gently said: "It's not about paying tribute, it's about looking for A-Lian's ghost!"
Ji Li narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and motioned Yu Guo to continue.
"A year ago today, A-Lian never came back after she went to work. My phone couldn't be reached, and there was no news when I looked for her in the academy.
At that time, I realized that something was wrong, but I didn't think about the supernatural aspect. Until I found the director of the academy, they actually told me that there was no teacher named A-Lian in the academy from beginning to end!
And I still didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at that time. I called the police and contacted A-Lian's parents.
The final result was that the police searched the population records and found no such person as A-Lian, and even her parents insisted that they had never had this daughter.
Within a day, all traces of A-Lian's life in this world were wiped out, and I was the only one who remembered her!"
Yu Guo's tone was a little scattered in the cold wind, but the resentment spread wantonly.
Ji Li was also horrified. He could roughly guess that A Lian's death was probably related to a very powerful ghost!
That ghost could actually change and erase all memories and traces of survival related to the victim!
Ji Li looked at Yu Guo who was trapped in tragic memories, and his heart shuddered. He suddenly felt that Yu Guo's entry into the hotel might not be a coincidence.
Just like Fang Shenyan, his fate made him a person destined to enter this place.
Ji Li looked to the south at this moment, and there was a strange feeling in his heart.
A Lian's death was not something he could get involved in now.
Perhaps at some point in the future, he and Yu Guo will really face that super powerful ghost that is enough to horrify people just by hearing it!
