Jiang Luo thought to himself, isn't it just jealousy

The original owner was jealous of Chi You's talent, but Chi You was not really gentle and kind. After class, he tossed the original owner with a smile. On the surface, he said it was a supplementary lesson, but in fact he quietly showed his talent in front of the original owner. The original owner was incompetent, but he was arrogant and arrogant, and he was extremely narrow-minded. Seeing that what he could never learn was easily made by Chi You, his spirit became increasingly distorted, and he hated Chi You even more.

Jiang Luo shook his head with a wry smile, "Looking back now, I really want to go back to that time."

As soon as the voice fell, a cloudy wind suddenly hit the window, and the wind whizzed past the glass window like a sharp sword. Jiang Luo was stunned, raised his hand and saw that goose bumps had instinctively aroused on his fair forearm.

He turned to look out the window.

Overcast clouds burst forth, and the slender trees with the thickness of the wrists of adults on the roadside were blown to pieces by the wind and rain, and they were pitiful. Raindrops slanted across the car window, and then slowly dripped unbearably.

The transparent raindrops gradually turned red, like a drop of blood, implying the decline of life.

It happened to slip to Jiang Luo's brow.

Jiang Luo's face was the same. He retracted his gaze and looked up at the rear-view mirror. In the mirror, there were only the three of them and the taxi driver sitting in front.

There are no demons.

Maybe, but he couldn't see it.

"No wonder Chi You always kept you in the office during that time," Ye Xun thought thoughtfully, "So he just wanted to take the opportunity to live a two-person world with you."

Jiang Luo, "Yes..."

The glass slammed abruptly, and a crack like a spider web broke out.

The three people in the back seat stared at the window in astonishment, and Lu Yi murmured, "Boss, isn't your window a little too cheap?"

The driver was stunned, "That's impossible."

Cold wind penetrated through the cracks in the glass, and there was a deadly cold blowing on Jiang Luo's neck, as if a hand was rubbing Jiang Luo's neck with interest, secretly warning Jiang Luo not to talk nonsense.

Jiang Luo touched his neck, only to feel a cold air.

The driver's master always wanted to look back to see what was going on in the window, but he still wanted to drive, so he could only turn his head after looking at it. Lu Yi and Ye Xun squeezed to the side to make a safe place for Jiang Luo. Ye Xun continued to ask, "Am I right?"

The neck was suddenly tightened, Jiang Luo couldn't help coughing, the Adam's apple rolled twice, and even the saliva felt a little difficult. The smile on his face got bigger and bigger, he fluttered the black hair beside his shoulders, and a smile appeared on his handsome and heroic face.

Jiang Luo remembered it very clearly.

Chi You can't kill him now.

Even if Chi You could kill him, he wouldn't just squeeze his neck like this. Chi You should be like in the original text, using cruel and bloody means to make him unable to survive or die.

Such superficial warnings are more like toying with Jiang Luo, just like humans teasing wild cats with bright claws. If Jiang Luo changed his words at this time, it would make Chi You feel bored and kill him mercilessly.

Sure enough, after saying this sentence, Jiang Luo was not hurt in any way. The cool feeling around the neck slowly dissipated, leaving only the broken glass window.

After half an hour, the three arrived at their destination.

Jiang Luo took the lead in scanning the QR code to pay, and after half a minute, the driver received a reminder that he had arrived at the account. In addition to the fare, there was an extra 1,000 yuan, and the remarks read "window fee ( ̄︶ ̄)".

The driver looked up in surprise and looked out, and the three of them had gone far.

129 Hotel is a local Internet celebrity hotel. It is located on the North Third Ring East Road. The location is remote. The reason why it is popular is mainly because of its beautiful environment, novel shape, and willing to spend money to promote it.

The appearance imitates the castle style in fairy tales. The color matching of pink and bright yellow is very conspicuous and definitely attracts people's attention.

After the previous exchange, Lu You and Ye Xun clearly accepted Jiang Luo, and Lu You took the initiative to ask, "Have you read the information of Hotel 129 before you set off?"

Jiang Luo shook his head honestly, "No."

Lu Youyi showed sympathy, apparently thinking that Jiang Luo didn't read the information because Chi You died, "It's okay, everything will pass."

Jiang Luo cooperated with a strong smile.

Lu Yi, "I'll tell you about the information. Have you heard of the 129 Hotel before?"

Jiang Luo nodded, "I heard of it."

The local college students who often go out have basically heard of the 129 Hotel. This hotel is mainly in the style of fairy tales. There are various themed rooms in it, the most famous ones are Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and other themed rooms. When the business is the most popular, you may not be able to reserve a room after queuing for a month.

Lu Youyi: "The 129 Hotel is very popular, and many people even come here from other provinces to check in. But half a year ago, the 129 Hotel's business suddenly went downhill."

"The ratings on the website are getting lower and lower, and customers who have stayed at the 129 Hotel have started to complain frequently. According to them, they will feel inexplicable headaches, poor sleep, mental weakness when they stay in the hotel, and after returning from the hotel, they will Something very unfortunate happened."

Ye Xun took over the words: "But so far, the owner of the 129 Hotel has not noticed anything wrong. Until a month ago, three people disappeared out of thin air among a group of guests who came to visit the 129 Hotel from other provinces."

Jiang Luo: "Is there no surveillance at the 129 Hotel?"

"Because the monitoring has failed, people have disappeared strangely. So the official thought it was an incident on the side of metaphysics, and entrusted the store manager's entrustment to the dean, who gave us the task as a task," Ye Xun said casually. , suddenly picked up the rabbit doll and placed it under his eyes, turned his head expressionlessly towards Jiang Luo and Lu You, "I asked Xiaofan, Xiaofan said that after finishing this ticket, my credits will be enough to participate in Yunnan. game."

Lu You said enviously, "I'm still a lot worse."

After speaking, they all looked at Jiang Luo. Jiang Luo thought about Yuanshen's grades, and was silent for a while, "My credits are 3 points."

Lu Yi and Ye Xun: "Hi."

Shame, really shameful, as a scholar who has crushed others since childhood, Jiang Luo wanted to pull out the original owner and have a meal.

The competition that Ye Xun mentioned is a large-scale competition held every four years in the metaphysics circle. This year's venue is in Yunnan. Jiang Luo's major has the same scientific name as the "National College Students Natural Science Competition Challenge".

Students from the Department of Metaphysics in major schools can only participate in the competition with 20 or more credits.

Lu You and Ye Xun were surprised for a while, thinking of Jiang Luo's previous style, and they were not surprised again. Lu You wondered if Jiang Luo had never attended the class at all: "Your credits are too shameful, Jiang Luo, did you learn anything in class? I'll test you, take a look at the surrounding environment and talk about it. How is the feng shui of the 129 Hotel?"

Jiang Luo heard the words and stood still and looked around.

The original owner's mind was empty, and he had no professional knowledge. But Jiang Luo studied design, and those who study design should learn some feng shui knowledge, so as not to make a taboo.

He first looked at the 129 Hotel, the fairy tale building was unique among the green mountains and green waters, Jiang Luo raised his eyebrows, "There are mountains in the back, grass in front, water on the left, long roads on the right, Qinglong, white tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu gathered together. It's a treasure trove of feng shui."

No wonder business was so hot in the past.

Jiang Luo looked around again, and suddenly said "Huh", "There is a court nearby."

Ye Xun said lightly: "It was built just two years ago. It used to be a slaughterhouse."

Jiang Luo smiled, raised his finger and pointed to the windows on both sides of the hotel, "The window is facing the court, whether it is the slaughterhouse or the court, it is a place where yin and yang are the most, and it is not beneficial to people, which is a sin outside the window. "

The slaughterhouse is too bloody, and the ghosts of the killed animals will form a negative magnetic field. People who work in the slaughterhouse for a long time or live nearby will be affected by the magnetic field and become violent and irritable, or will be negative and sad for unknown reasons. The court, on the other hand, will have some bad influences because it is too upright and the yang is too strong.

Lu You paired him with admiration, and felt that he had really put on tinted glasses before, which made his view of Jiang Luo unbiased, "Jiang Luo, I originally thought that you could only see with your face, but besides your face, you can at least compare Go to my second aunt and her sister-in-law's granddaughter who is still in elementary school."

Jiang Luo: "..." He sometimes felt that it was not easy for Lu Yi to live to such an age.

The three walked into the fairy tale castle, and the store manager was already waiting for them. When I saw them coming, I was relieved, but when I looked at the young appearance of the three of them, I couldn't help but show despair, "Why are three little babies here?"

The store manager glanced at Ye Xun and the rabbit doll in his arms again, and immediately burst into tears while covering his face.

Ye Xun was expressionless, "He said we were little babies."

Lu You touched his face and said happily, "He's right."

Jiang Luo forcibly saw some accusations from Ye Xun's face. It seemed that Ye Xun had suffered similar contempt many times because of the doll. As someone who had just been helped by Ye Xun, Jiang Luo touched his chin, "I have a way to make people never say you are a baby again in the future, do you want to try?"

Ye Xun agreed immediately, "Okay."

Jiang Luo asked Ye Xun and Lu Yi to step back, walked to the boss alone, and knocked on the table, "Boss, why are you crying?"

The boss choked up and looked up, "It's all little babies, won't you let me cry?"

Jiang Luo, "Do you know what it means to be shameless?"

"If our three students can be dispatched to accept your entrustment, it proves that we have the ability to handle your affairs well," Jiang Luo pointed to Ye Xun, "This guy is amazing, you are afraid of ghosts, and you are afraid what?"

The boss was dubious, "What's so scary about this doll?"

Jiang Luo sighed, "Let me tell you the truth, the rabbit doll he is holding is not a rabbit doll at all, but a curse made by hundreds of evil spirits. Ordinary people will have trouble with it, but he It's fine, do you know why?"

The boss was a little scared, "Why?"

The atmosphere gradually became weird and gloomy. The boss carefully glanced at the doll in Ye Xun's arms, and saw that the doll's unpopular eyes really rolled!

The boss's breath stagnated, his face turned pale, and he almost fell off the chair.

Jiang Luo didn't see the change in the doll, his tone gradually became gloomy and cold: "Because he likes to eat ghosts, he eats ghosts when he is unhappy, but also eats when he is happy. You see he is young, but he is actually fifty-eight years old, just because He ate too many ghosts, and the yin and yang in his body were reversed, so he stopped growing, and the ghost doll was also afraid of the breath on his body. When such a big strange thing happened in your hotel, we dare to come, isn't it all because we followed him? "

The boss shuddered, he didn't dare to look at the resentment doll again, "I-I know."

Jiang Luo knocked on the table and lowered his voice: "Remember, don't tell anyone about this."

The boss nodded stiffly, he took a deep breath, walked up to Ye Xun and Lu You, and said with a dry smile: "I'm sorry, classmates, I absolutely trust your abilities, what I said before was just a joke hahahaha! Don't mind, don't mind. , or, I'll take you to the room where the previous guest disappeared?"

Ye Xun's mouth twitched slightly, and nodded reservedly, "Let's go."

Jiang Luo followed at the end, and Lu Yi asked him curiously, "What did you tell the boss?"

Jiang Luo sighed and said: "The boss is a good person. I said that Ye Xun didn't like being called a little baby. He immediately changed his mind and swore that he would never be called that again."

Lu Yiyi couldn't help but nodded again and again: "Now it's rare to see such an uncle who knows his mistakes and corrects them."

The interior of the 129 Hotel has a large courtyard landscape, which almost becomes a small amusement park. It's more of a manor with scattered residences than a hotel.

When the boss led them through a pavilion, there was an old man and a young grandson and grandson sitting in a rocking chair to rest in the pavilion.

The boss explained: "This is my old lady. I was taken over by me to play for a month or two. That child is my baby. She is only three years old this year."

The children fell asleep after being rocked by the rocking chair. The grandmother greeted them cautiously, and walked away slowly with her grandson in her arms.

Jiang Luo fixedly looked at the child's chubby wrist like lotus root and wondered if there was something wrong with his eyes, otherwise why would he see a cloud of black mist on this arm

"Lu Yi," Jiang Luo poked Lu Yi, his eyes still staring at the child who was far away, "Did you see the black mist on the child's arm?"

Lu Yi said blankly, "What? I didn't see anything."

Jiang Luo: "You didn't see anything?"

Lu Yi shook his head.

Jiang Luo frowned, and followed the boss's footsteps in thought.

He believed in himself very much. If Lu Yi saw it, it didn't mean that what he saw was wrong. So, what did he see

It was too late, and the police were very considerate. They arranged a hotel for them and let them rest.

The moon stars are rare, Jiang Luo looked at the ceiling with his hands behind his head, and the memory of the proprietress flashed in his mind again.

Protect.

This is the only obsession that makes a mother get up again and stand beside her child.

This kind of emotion is too unfamiliar to Jiang Luo. He has no friends, and he has never felt such affection. Of course, he thinks he doesn't need friends, and he is even more insensitive to his affection. Even the colleagues in the design institute who have been with each other all the time, Jiang Luo has a good relationship with them on the surface, but the colleagues have never understood Jiang Luo's private life.

To live alone, to die alone, to feed the whole family and not be hungry, for Jiang Luo, this is the best way to live.

He slowly got rid of these heavy emotions that didn't belong to him and closed his eyes.

Peaceful night.

When they went downstairs for breakfast the next day, a policeman who looked to be in his twenties sat at the table and greeted them, "Baozi fritters and Hu spicy soup, is that okay?"

Jiang Luo took the fried dough sticks, cut them into small pieces and soaked them in the spicy soup. The policeman said, "The owner of the 129 Hotel is awake. He is in a bad state of mind now."

The police showed them a video of the boss lying on the hospital bed holding his son and not letting go, tears streaming down his face and panic, and he kept saying, "Wife, I'm sorry for you, wife..."

The child was so frightened by his appearance that he burst into tears. The boss immediately hugged the child tightly. He kept stroking the child's soft hair for a while, silently shedding tears.

Because of the business, the boss really ignored a lot of his family. When I have money, I have no time to spend with my family, and when I have no money, I feel anxious and impatient to spend time with my family.

One day, the boss came up with a new way of publicity.

He plans to bring the old lady who he has not seen for a long time to the hotel, shoot some interesting videos of the old lady, and make the old lady an internet celebrity to attract traffic. In today's short videos, people are more tolerant to children and the elderly. As long as he has a reputation, his hotel may become popular again.

The boss took the old lady back to the hotel. He hadn't lived with the old lady for a long time, but after all, he was his own mother and son. The longer the time passed, the more he felt that something was wrong. But the boss didn't pay attention to what was wrong. All his thoughts were on his career, thinking that nothing major would happen anyway.

But it was because of his neglect, because of his perfunctory thoughts, that such consequences were caused.

Jiang Luo watched helplessly as the black mist on the child's arm gradually disappeared amid the boss's cries, he swallowed the last mouthful of fried dough sticks, and turned to ask Ye Xun, "Did you see it?"

Ye Xun put down the bun and looked back lightly: "What did you see?"

"A black fog," Jiang Luo said, "on the child's left arm."

Ye Xun frowned, looked at the child in the video seriously, and shook his head after a while, "I didn't see it."

Jiang Luo was thoughtful.

A person as powerful as Ye Xun can't see such a black fog, and the original body has never seen it, why can he see it

The only difference between him and the original body is the difference in soul, and Chiyou's death.

Was it his soul that caused this change, or did Jiang Luo see the black mist because Chi You was by his side

Jiang Luo hoped it was the former.

After all, no one doesn't want to be a genius.

After the meal, the little policeman smiled and picked up a backpack from under the table and handed it to them, "We checked the life of this decapitated man, and he did not do anything evil. We consulted his own After the opinion, he wants to be brought back to school by you to keep him."

The quilt was placed in Jiang Luo's arms. Jiang Luo opened the zipper and looked down. His pale face showed a shy smile, "Little friend, Xiaosheng is polite."

Jiang Luo threw the bag to Lu Yi, and said with a lack of interest, "Give it to you."

Lu Yi hugged the decapitated ghost and wondered, "How to keep it? Bury it in the soil?"

The decapitated ghost burst into tears, "Yesterday I called him old brother Ning Xiu, but today I will give him away at will. The more beautiful people are, the more they know how to hurt Xiaosheng's heart."

Lu Yiyi's ears hurt, so he zipped up the zipper, "You're so noisy."

The policeman continued: "We searched the toilets in every room of the 129 Hotel this morning, and found coins wrapped in the toilets in every room. We will investigate the source of the tourists later to find out who it is. These means are used, but you don't have to worry about these things."

Ye Xun nodded, "The window on the second floor of the hotel made a mistake. Let him use the ornament of the dragon's fifth son's 'Pitcock' on the window, which can be broken."

The little policeman wrote down these one by one, and said with a bright smile: "It's hard work, classmates."

After saying goodbye, the three slowly prepared to go back.

On the way back to school, Lu Yi and Ye Xun had been playing with their mobile phones with their heads lowered. Jiang Luo felt strange. He leaned over and glanced from the corner of his eye, and found that they were chatting in the group.

The group name is "burn incense if you have something to do", and the number is displayed as eight people.

Jiang Luo looked more and more familiar, and suddenly realized that this is the class that was blocked by the original owner

He turned on his phone, flipped through and found this class group, clicked in and saw that the group news was 99+.

Jiang Luo looked up, good guy, this group of people didn't care that he was still in the group, and the chat messages were all gossip between him and Chi You.

[Zhuo Zhongqiu: When are you coming back? Before I met anyone, I definitely didn't believe what you said about Chi You and Jiang Luo. ]

[Ge Zhu: It's weird, how come I didn't see that these two have such a fate? ]

Lu You said incessantly: "Of course Chi You is dead because of no fate. In fact, Brother Chi You's performance is already very obvious, but you just didn't see it. But I vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but I didn't say it. ]

[Ye Xun: You only said bad things about Jiang Luo. ]

Lu Yi's heart skipped a beat, he cautiously raised his head from his phone and glanced at Jiang Luo, and he was relieved when he saw that Jiang Luo's face was normal. He had indeed scolded Jiang Luo a lot in the past, but now he felt extremely guilty and dared not let Jiang Luo know.

Because Lu Yi discovered that Jiang Luo was not what he imagined.

After Jiang Luo finished reading the news, it turned out that Lu Yi and Ye Xun told the story of his two-way secret love with Chi You to everyone in the group.

The people in the group were in a trance, unable to believe that what the two of them said was true.

Chi You has long been deeply rooted in Jiang Luo's love? Even take the initiative to confess to Jiang Luo

In the past, Jiang Luo was often left alone to make up lessons in order to spend the two-person world with Jiang Luo

Hahaha, have Ye Xun and Lu Yi been caught in a nightmare

Compared with Chi You and Jiang Luo liking each other, they are more willing to believe that Lu Yi and Ye Xun are making up stories to deceive people.

[Zhuo Zhongqiu: How could Chi You like Jiang Luo? ]

Lu Yi said quietly: [Think about Jiang Luo's face. ]

After a few seconds of silence in the group, Lu Yi said awkwardly: [Actually, Jiang Luo is pretty good. ]

Ye Xun said: [Lu Yi is right. ]

With the words of the two of them, the group's original attitude of "can't believe it and sneered" changed to "doubtful". Jiang Luo glanced at Ye Xun and Lu Yi with relief, and knew that he did not choose the wrong person.
