When Ning Zishan returned to the hotel, the soil sticking to his hands after being soaked in blood was already half dry, which brought a tight feeling to the skin of his fingers, which was very uncomfortable, so he went to the bathroom downstairs to wash his hands first.

The bathroom is on the right side of the reception hall. Open the door and you will see a long corridor. The bathroom is near the door. After that, there are men's and women's changing rooms and showers. Like the men's and women's toilets, they are on the left and right sides of the corridor.

At the end of the corridor, you can see the skylight, lush plants and damp bluestone floor, the hot spring should be there.

After washing his hands, Ning Zishan walked out of the bathroom, glanced at the end of the corridor, thinking that he had already come here, so he might as well go to the hot spring to have a look. Since the signboard here said hot spring hotel, there might be some clues in the hot spring.

Just as he was about to walk in, there was a sudden scream from upstairs. Ning Zishan paused, turned around and ran upstairs.

The cry came from the third floor. Ning Zishan ran all the way to the third floor, and saw Qi Ju and Huang Xiaobai standing outside Xun Kaikai's room with frightened faces. Huang Xiaobai covered her mouth with one hand. It seemed that she was the one who made the cry just now.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Ning Zishan asked.

Huang Xiaobai was speechless, Qi Ju was a little calmer than her, and replied: "I just met Xiaobai downstairs, she wanted to go back to the room to get things, but she didn't dare to go upstairs alone, so I accompanied her up here , when we passed Xun Kaikai's room, we found that his body was gone, even the blood on the floor disappeared."

Ning Zishan breathed a sigh of relief, "Maybe Mrs. Liu did the cleaning. I just saw her bury Xun Kaikai's body behind the hotel."

Hearing what he said, Huang Xiaobai and Qi Ju finally relaxed, Huang Xiaobai said: "That old lady moves really fast, this is just a little more time."

Ning Zishan nodded silently. Apart from her appearance, this old lady Liu really didn't look like an old man at all in her speech and actions at certain times, which was very weird.

Huang Xiaobai and Qi Ju thanked Ning Zishan, then opened the room diagonally opposite Xun Kaikai and walked in.

After that, Ning Zishan also went downstairs rubbing his aching temples and went back to his room.

This sleep was extremely restless, Ning Zishan was always in a half-dream and half-awake state, his body seemed to be tightly tied to the bed, he was extremely ill, but his soul flew lightly to the roof, the choking smell of smoke entered his nasal cavity, and he screamed The sound was endless, and the temperature of the whole body seemed to be rising sharply, as if surrounded by invisible flames, and even the skin was burned so painfully.

This state continued until someone knocked on his door.

Ning Zishan suddenly woke up from the bed and sat up, and the next second he groaned and covered his temples. This time, his head hurt even more than before, as if an electric drill was churning wildly in his brain.

The knock on the door continued, getting more and more urgent, showing the impatience of the knocker. Ning Zishan felt that if he didn't open the door again, he might kick the door, so he dragged his heavy body out of bed and opened the door.

Ke Xu stood outside the door with a meal in his hand.

"If you were later, I would have knocked on the door." Sure enough, that was exactly what Ke Xu said.

"Why is your face so red?" Ke Xu frowned lightly, and touched Ning Zishan's forehead with the back of his hand: "It's so hot! Do you have a fever?"

Ning Zishan shook his head: "Just now I have been having nightmares."

Ke Xu sighed: "Come with me in the afternoon."

With an indisputable tone, Ke Xu was about to enter the house with lunch, but Ning Zishan forcefully stopped him from the door.

Ke Xu frowned even tighter, but Ning Zishan did not compromise at all. After a while, Ke Xu softened his attitude first: "Zishan, do you want to get angry and go back and regenerate? Now is not the time to vent your anger."

Ning Zishan shook his head: "I'm not angry with you, I just feel that I was too dependent on you in the past, this is already my fifth copy, I think it's time for me to learn to grow by myself."

Ke Xu stared at him for a moment, as if he wanted to see whether his words were true or not, finally he sighed again, and handed the food in Ning Zishan's hands: "I see, let's separate Let's act, but I hope you stay away from Ding Feiyue, he probably won't survive tonight."

After speaking, Ke Xu left, and when he reached the stairs, he happened to meet Feng Lerong who was going upstairs, also holding a piece of food in his hand.

Ke Xu's eyes immediately became displeased, and when they passed by, Feng Lerong smiled at him.

In front of him was a bowl of white rice and a small plate of verdant stir-fried vegetables, but Ning Zishan was sitting at the table in a daze. He was startled by the sudden knock on the door. He came back to his senses and wondered if Ke Xu had returned. , while opening the door, it turned out that standing outside the door was Feng Lerong.

He raised the dinner plate in his hand to show Ning Zishan: "I went to eat just now, and when I saw you didn't go downstairs, I wondered if you had overslept."

To be honest, Ning Zishan doesn't like Feng Lerong very much, he always feels that the other party is too attentive to him, and every time he looks at him with those eyes hidden behind the lens, Ning Zishan always feels full of calculations.

To put it bluntly, Feng Lerong is the type he is least good at dealing with.

Ning Zishan looked down, the meal was rice, but the dish was a meat dish, and his stomach suddenly churns—since he experienced the copy of the landlord’s grandson last time, Ning Zishan swore that he would rather eat tree bark I will never eat a bite of meat in the copy again.

"Can I go in?" Feng Lerong asked.

Ning Zishan sniffled and was about to refuse, but he was taken aback for a moment. He took another look at Feng Lerong, and then changed his words: "Please come in."

After Feng Lerong entered the room, she didn't seem surprised when she saw the food on Ning Zishan's table, but asked, "Ke Xu brought it to you? Why are they all vegetarian?"

Ning Zishan said casually, "I'm a vegetarian."

Feng Lerong nodded and put the dinner plate on the table: "It happens that I haven't eaten yet, so I'll stay here with you."

The two ate in silence, Feng Lerong suddenly said: "You said before that someone has been taking you through the dungeon, and that person is Ke Xu?"

Ning Zishan hummed.

Feng Lerong said again: "But I see that the two of you are not getting along well now, is it a fight?"

Ning Zishan seemed to want to explain something, he paused in picking vegetables, but in the end he hummed lightly.

Feng Lerong poked the rice in his bowl, then looked up at Ning Zishan: "Do you like him?"

Ning Zishan raised his head in astonishment, and looked at Feng Lerong in amazement.

"But he doesn't like you, isn't it because of this that you guys are having trouble?" Feng Lerong asked.

Ning Zishan lowered his eyelashes and did not answer.

"The way you look at him is like a nightingale who wakes up a rose with her own life and singing on a winter night." Feng Lerong tilted her head: "I like your look very much, it's very sexy."

Ning Zishan put down the chopsticks in his hand, frowned slightly, Feng Lerong thought he was angry, and quickly explained: "I didn't mean to laugh at you."

"I know." Ning Zishan said in a calm voice, "I'm just full. Do you want to go to the hot spring together later?"

"Okay." Feng Lerong also put down his chopsticks: "I didn't find any valuable clues around this morning."

After that, the two came to the first floor together, and through the long and narrow corridor, Ning Zishan finally saw the hot spring of this hotel.

The hot spring is open-air, with two small soup pools and a small pavilion in the middle.

Different from the old hotels, the whole hot spring has been carefully repaired. There are round cobblestones scattered beside the stone road, and some stones of different shapes seem to be randomly placed around the hot spring. The light blue clear spring water is filled with hot air. Surrounded by greenery.

"I didn't expect that the hot spring here is really like that." Feng Lerong stepped on the wet stone slab and circled around one of the soup pools: "Do you want to take a bubble together before going to bed at night?"

Ning Zishan walked around in a circle: "Forget it, if it's the real world, I don't dare to soak in the hot spring here, maybe something will come out of it just after you enter the water."

Feng Lerong laughed after listening.

At this moment, a black mass suddenly appeared in one of the soup pools, flashing past Ning Zishan's peripheral vision, like a mass of hair.

Ning Zishan hurriedly turned his head to take a closer look, but the thing was gone again, only slight ripples appeared on the clear water.

"What's wrong?" Feng Lerong asked seeing his strange expression.

"I seem to see something in the water." Ning Zishan said.

Feng Lerong also followed his line of sight, and said after a while: "You must be dazzled? This place is so big, there is no cover, and it is clear at a glance. If there is something and there is no place to hide it, let's go to other places Let's take a look somewhere."

After that, Ning Zishan and Feng Lerong left the hotel again.

The hotel was surrounded by trees, as if a clearing had been cut out in the woods for the hotel.

Although Mrs. Liu said that she couldn't enter the woods behind the hot spring, she should still be able to go to other places, but every time the two of them walked into the woods, they would be surrounded by thick fog.

Seeing that it was getting late, the last two had no choice but to go back to the hotel.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Ke Xu standing in the door with a gloomy face, and he seemed a little relieved to see Ning Zishan come back.

Feng Lerong said winkingly, "I'm going to the bathroom."

"En." After Ning Zishan finished speaking, he passed Ke Xu upstairs, and Ke Xu followed him into the room. This time Ning Zishan didn't stop him.

As soon as the door was closed, Ke Xu asked, "Do you really want to do this?"

Ning Zishan nodded.

Looking at Ning Zishan who was so close at hand, Ke Xu felt very helpless. He felt that he might never find another person in his life who could make him so helpless.

Ke Xu raised his hand, subconsciously wanting to pinch Ning Zishan's earlobe, but when he stretched halfway, he suddenly withdrew his hand, brushed his hair agitatedly, and let out a long breath.

"I'm sorry." Ke Xu said softly.

Ning Zishan was startled: "What?"

"I... want to protect you." Ke Xu looked into Ning Zishan's eyes, as if regretting, and said word by word: "But now I am forcing you to leave my side."

Ning Zishan lowered his head, the bangs on his forehead slid down to cover his eyes, making Ke Xu unable to see his expression clearly.

Silence began to spread in the air, like dark clouds thickening in the sky, making it difficult to breathe.

Time seemed to have passed for a long time, when Ke Xu began to wonder if they would just stand like two statues, the rain finally fell, not from the sky, but from Ning Zishan's eyes, one by one , The broken pearls generally dripped on the somewhat blackened floor, making a crackling sound, and then disappeared.

Ke Xu panicked immediately, he had never seen Ning Zishan shed tears, although he imagined it, but when he really saw Ning Zishan crying, his whole heart was like being thrown into a meat grinder. A drop of tear is like blood squeezed from the heart.

He looked at Ning Zishan at a loss, not knowing what to do for a while.

"You're always like this..." Ning Zishan sniffed, his whole body trembling slightly, he choked up and said, "You know... my feelings, if you feel disgusted, you shouldn't have provoked me in the first place, Or you should let me alone from now on, don't care about my life... I have clearly made up my mind, but now you say this again, what do you want me to do?"

Ning Zishan raised his head and wiped the tears off his face fiercely: "What do you want me to do?!"

That was Nightingale's bloody accusation, the rose's thorn pierced through his heart, and then ruthlessly pierced into Ke Xu's heart.

"Shhh..." Ke Xu was so distressed that he opened his arms and embraced Ning Zishan, pressing his head on his shoulders, wishing he could become a big sponge and drain all the tears from Ning Zishan's eyes. After sucking it dry, he gently stroked Ning Zishan's hair, and said softly: "I never thought you were disgusting, it's my fault... I just have to figure out some things, give me some time, don't cry Okay? My heart is almost melted by your crying."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

I feel that Zishan's tears before were all in vain, so I should cry for Ke Dazhu's hooves~

It’s the end of the month again, I’m so busy at the end of the month, please take a leave of absence, and try to make a change on November _(:з」∠)_
