This NPC really has a problem

Hearing the sound of breaking the door, Boss Lu subconsciously glanced out of the room.

The sound did not come from his room, but from the opposite door.

"Uncle, do you want to go and have a look?" the little girl asked in a low voice.

Boss Lu shook his head, turned around and said, "Let's continue."

They all knew the chaos in the hotel at this time, but no one stopped talking, and no one left.

"Usually during Chinese New Year, mom and dad will bring a lot of gifts home, delicious snacks from the town, beautiful headbands, thick cotton padded clothes... This year, mom and dad didn't go home, they want to give me and grandma in the town as soon as possible A home that never rests even during Chinese New Year." The little girl lay in her grandmother's arms and said softly, "That must be a very beautiful house."

The old woman combed her little granddaughter's soft hair cherishingly: "I often tell Ajie and his wife not to work so hard. We live in the village and we are fine. Don't let us get tired because we are exhausted. But they don't listen, saying that I have worked hard." For the rest of my life, I should go to the town to enjoy the blessings, my daughter will reach the age of studying in a few years, there are no schools in the countryside, and they want to send her to the town to study."

The old lady reproached her, but her tone was comforting: "They are all good boys."

Boss Lu didn't speak.

The old woman shivered and withdrew her hand, and the dripping blood dripped onto the snow-white bed sheet. Boss Lu watched the first wound appear on the old woman's forearm. Gradually, there were blood spots on her body.

"I'm over 70 years old. I lost my health in the fields in my early years, and I haven't had a good life for a few years. The old woman is not afraid of death, but my daughter is still so young...she is only five years old." The old woman said, with tears in her eyes.Tears mixed with blood, muddy tears trickled down his wrinkled face.

That night, the old woman protected her little granddaughter tightly, and was cut one after another. She didn't seem to feel any pain at all, and her belief in wanting to protect the little girl lasted until she swallowed her last breath.

Those cloudy eyes gradually lost their luster. She didn't think about herself, but after her death, the little granddaughter she cared about was still dragged out from under her body by the knife-wielding man.

"Grandma said that we can go to our new home tomorrow." The little girl hugged the dead old man tightly, "But we can't wait until tomorrow."

"Mom and Dad must have been waiting for us for a long time." The little girl and the old man embraced together, and gradually, wounds appeared on the little girl.

Her appearance covered in blood should be horrifying, but Boss Lu only felt helpless regret.

Every today is waiting for tomorrow, but tomorrow will never come.

The old man and the little girl look forward to being reunited with their son, daughter-in-law and parents.

Xiao Mengban just quarreled with Guan Yi, maybe they will reconcile, maybe they will quarrel after reconciliation, maybe they will break up, maybe they will be together.

Lu Qian has lost her dreams, friendships, and love, but one day she will come out of the pain of the past and walk towards a new future.

Xu Liao may continue to pursue Chang Rou, or he may like other girls.

Chang Rou may dump her boyfriend who is courteous to Xiao Mengban and look for a new love.

Yu Xiao is a painting idiot, he thinks very little, lives purely, a life of painting and drinking is the most joyful life for him.

Traveler Danyu will not stop his footsteps, he will explore a wider world, maybe one day he can solve all his doubts about the City of Reflections, just like solving all the puzzles that aroused his curiosity before .

The bearded man will happily take the statue home, and more often, he will only regard it as a handicraft.

Xiaozhen is a gentle and diligent girl. She does not feel inferior because of her poverty. Although she envies the rich, she has always believed that she can accumulate wealth that belongs to herself with both hands. A small hotel is not the end of her life. She may There will be a brighter future.

As for the chef, Lao Li, maybe one day he will settle down, give up all his delusions, and spend his whole life in the kitchen.

The future is not necessarily beautiful, but there are infinite possibilities for people to live, just like a branch that grows freely, no one knows which direction it will eventually grow, and whether it will grow verdantly, but it is trying to grow after all .

To die is to cut off that branch, to cut off all possibilities.

If it is said that there is hope in the future if you are alive, then reincarnation is to give ghosts false hope time and time again, and break it time and time again.

"I'm sorry, uncle, I'm sorry." With trembling hands, the little girl took out a key from her pocket.

Some people say that it is a magical key that can fulfill the owner's wish. Although the little girl had some expectations, she actually only regards it as a beautiful but unusable key.

"Grandma kept telling me not to be afraid. Her voice became softer and softer. Suddenly, she stopped talking and breathing." The little girl sobbed, "I didn't know what to do, so I kept waking grandma up. Wake up, we have to go home tomorrow..."

The key cannot resurrect the dead.

So the key gave the little girl countless todays, countless todays that can look forward to tomorrow, together with all the people in the hotel who died tragically that night.

Ghosts cannot appear during the day, and when dusk falls, the guests will come to the hotel one by one to stay in the hotel in the order of the past. time to die.

The little girl gave the key to Boss Lu.

"I don't want to go on anymore, it's time to end." The little girl smiled and snuggled into the arms of the silent old man, "I'm sorry for dragging everyone down for so long."

In this reincarnation, they died quietly together.

Holding the key, Boss Lu got up and opened the door to leave the room.

This was Bai Zhu dragging Xu Yan stumbling out of the bearded room, a boning knife swiped past and cut off a few strands of Xu Yan's hair, frightening him so that his body stiffened instantly and he couldn't move.

Bai Zhu shouted: "I can't pull you..."

He fell silent while talking because he saw Boss Lu.

Bai Zhu subconsciously stopped, and when he realized that he was still running for his life, he turned around and saw that the knife-wielder had disappeared.

"Don't be afraid, it's over." Boss Lu comforted him in a low voice.

Bai Zhu looked at Boss Lu, and couldn't help but look back behind the figure of the knife-wielding man: "...What happened just now?"

Boss Lu didn't answer him, but asked: "You are a living person, right?"

Bai Zhu opened his eyes wide.

Boss Lu smiled: "I remember you."

"...Huh?" Bai Zhu was a little confused.

Boss Lu stepped forward and stuffed something cold into his hands: "Although I don't know why you guys are here, I think it's most appropriate to give it to you."

Bai Zhu stared blankly at the key in his hand.

He and Xu Yan searched the bearded man and his luggage, and Xu Yan was stabbed by a knifeman, but found nothing.Bai Zhuben felt that they had to read this book again, but unexpectedly picked up a key for nothing.

Bai Zhu doesn't even know who the key is right now.

...Lie, lie down and win?

Boss Lu looked at Bai Zhu in a daze, and couldn't help rubbing the top of his head.

He was about to say something, when Danyu came down from upstairs yawning, glanced at them and said, "You're still here."

Boss Lu asked him, "You were the first to come down."

"I'm quick," Danyu said, "I'm going first."

"You, are you okay?" Bai Yi was confused, he felt that anyone who entered that corridor would be skinned, but Danyou acted as if nothing happened, "Where are you going?"

Dan-yu only answers the latter question: "Go where you need to go."

He said to Boss Lu, "Thanks for taking care of me, I'll take a step first."

Bai Zhu couldn't help asking: "Where is that place?"

"Where the dead are going," Danyou smiled, "Unfortunately, I really can't know the answer to the question about the City of Reflections. I just wrote it down in the travel notes at that time, but I was still unwilling. Thinking of a word becomes a prophecy."

Danyou quickly put this regret behind him, whistled, waved his back to Boss Landing and the others, and left gracefully, just like every time he embarked on a new journey.

Soon after Dan-yu left, the guests in the hotel left one after another.

The bearded man came out of the room first, smiled awkwardly at Boss Lu and ran away.When Xiao Mengban and Guan Yi came down together, Xiao Mengban's face was not very good, and Guan Yi didn't look at her too much. The rift between the couple was completely exposed after the death.

Yu Xiao still didn't quite understand why he died after drinking a lot of wine, scratching his head and followed Xu Liao in a daze.Chang Rou couldn't accept the fact that she was dead, so she wiped her tears as she walked.

Lu Qian left after her companions. She didn't have any unusual reactions, but nodded to Boss Lu as she passed the second floor as a greeting.

The chef didn't dare to see anyone, so he sneaked away.

Xiaozhen's eyes were red when she came out, and she bowed to Boss Lu when she left, thanking him for his care over the years.

The old man led the little girl to stop at the stairs, and the little girl waved desperately to Boss Lu.

"I'm leaving too." Boss Lu said to Bai Zhu after the grandparents also left.

Bai Zhu looked into his eyes and said, "We will meet again."

"You... well," Boss Lu sighed softly, "Forget it."

His brows and eyes lowered gently, and he said solemnly, "Thank you for your liking."

Bai Zhu was startled.

He stammered: "You... do you mean to accept it?"

Boss Lu shook his head.

That's right, Lu Ren outside the game might not be able to accept him, let alone Boss Lu in this situation.

Bai Zhu was a little disappointed.

Boss Lu wanted to comfort him, but it was inappropriate for a dead person to respond too much.

And, really, it's time to leave.

He repeated softly: "I'm leaving."

Bai Zhu watched his back disappear from sight, he couldn't help leaving Xu Yan behind and ran over, at this time, Boss Lu had already walked to the door.

A dim but warm light shone on him.

"We will definitely meet again." Bai Zhu shouted behind him.

Boss Lu paused, but continued to move forward, and his figure disappeared into the wilderness.

The author has something to say: disconnected, desperate
