Spirit Hotel

Shi Feixia was busy shuttling around every corner of the hotel.

At first, Porgy followed him around with great interest, but after finding out that he had been wandering around for a long time without any results, he hit him with a bottle and went to play by himself.

Only Layton and Jin continued to pay attention.

Layton lay on the fence on the third floor and looked down, "What is he trying to do?"

"Take a look." Kim stood next to him holding a glass of bright red tomato juice.

Layton said: "Didn't you visit it?" He still remembered that when Shi Feixia first came here, he liked to wander around and get familiar with the environment.However, this preference gradually faded because of the wave after wave of incidents in the hotel.

"It used to be curiosity, but now it's nostalgia." King paused and said, "He probably wants to keep the appearance of Noah's Ark firmly in his heart. After all, if he leaves this time, it will be difficult to see him again in the future."

Layton suddenly fell silent.

Jin turned his head to look at his suddenly sunken face, "What's wrong with you?"

"I don't know." Layton tried his best to hang on the fence with both arms, looking at the figure hurriedly coming out and then in, "Noah's Ark has so many people coming and going, this is the first time I feel sad .”

"Really?" Jin took a sip of tomato juice slowly.

"Ah. We have to recruit people every year anyway, why can't we recruit him every year?" Layton jumped up happily.

Jin raised his cup slightly, "Do you know why Noah's Ark has been in operation for so many years, but no one has ever been re-elected?"

Layton thought for a while and said, "For the sake of novelty?"

"..." The corners of Jin's eyes twitched almost invisibly, "Human beings are for use, not for food, what novelty do you want?"

Layton clapped his hands and said, "Ah. It is to prevent human beings from dying of old age here."

"The two years here are only two weeks for the human world. Even if you suffer from aging, you won't age so quickly."

"Then I don't know."

Jin Xuxu said: "Because no human being is so stupid as to be fooled twice in a row."

Layton asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Jin looked at Shi Feixia's back, and said calmly: "It means that no human being is willing to board a pirate ship again."

Layton said blankly: "But Feixia Shi is different."

"What's the difference?"

Layton replied subconsciously: "He gets along very well with us, unlike those human beings in the past, except for normal work and meals, he never sees people at all, and just hides in his room in a daze. Not only does Shi Feixia not Hiding, sometimes chasing us. He must like it here..."

He can only use 'should'.

Jin raised his head and drank the tomato juice in the glass, "He knows exactly what he's doing."

Layton looked at Shi Feixia, who was walking towards the corridor until the end and then suddenly turned back, and said in a low voice, "I doubt it."

※※※

Time always flies by quickly.

Although in the past few days, Layton tried his best to pry his real thoughts from Feixia Shi's mouth, but he was able to make fun of them all.Until the morning when the first day came, Shi Feixia changed into the one he wore and waited early at the gate.

Jin walked behind him silently, "Have you decided?"

Shi Feixia's body trembled slightly, and he slowly stretched his waist, "Well. Actually, the first day I came here, I really wanted to go back. Now, this wish has finally come true."

Jin suddenly said: "Why don't you dare to turn around?"

"Why don't you dare to turn around? I just can't wait to leave." Shi Feixia put his hands on his hips and twisted his hips, "When I think that there is no darkness beyond the door, my heart can't help but pound! "

"Are you sure it's because your heart can't help beating when you see it over there, not because you're afraid of turning your head around and your heart can't help beating?" Jin said slowly.

Shi Feixia was silent for a while, then turned around and looked at him complainingly: "Jin, you are really becoming more and more annoying."

Jin raised his neck and said, "Hmph. I am a noble blood race, and blood races never need to please people."

"What about Hughes?"

"That's love. Much higher than liking."

Shi Feixia put his hands in his pockets, "There are too few people in the hotel, let Hughes come back early."

"He's still looking for that moon prism. I heard that people from the Nijiuhui have occupied a mountain in the werewolf world. It's easy to defend but hard to attack. Antonio is going crazy at the foot of the mountain."

Shi Feixia's eyes popped, "Why didn't you tell me about such gossip?"

Jin pouted his mouth, "Are you sure you're in the mood to listen?"

"At any time, I'm always open to gossip." Shi Feixia said earnestly.

Jin smiled, and just about to say something, his expression suddenly turned cold.

Shi Feixia rolled his eyes and said, "Are you there?"

Jin stared at him and said, "You really decided?"

"Does it still need to be decided? The contract has expired, the employment relationship has been terminated, and it's time for me to go home." Shi Feixia shrugged gracefully.

Jin is making the last effort, "But the contract is not considered to be expired, and even if it expires, a new contract can be signed."

Shi Feixia looked down at his feet, and said with a slight smile: "After all, I am a human being, and people should stay in the human world. But I have gained a lot of experience here, and I have a fulfilling life." He raised his head, his smile slowly congealed At the corner of the group's mouth, "Nice to meet you."

Jin raised his eyebrows, "As a human being, being able to know a great blood race like me should not only be happy, but should also be touched and honored."

"Okay. I will set up a longevity tablet for you when I go back."

"What is the use?"

"You will be more famous in the future. Of course, after I become a celebrity." Shi Feixia coughed dryly, and said in a low voice, "I should go."

Jin lowered his eyelids, silently stepped back half a step, and waved his hand.

The door that had never been opened since that day finally opened slowly.

The white sunlight leaked in from the crack of the door little by little, causing Shi Feixia's eyes to hurt, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

The door opening angle is from thirty, sixty to ninety, 120...

Shi Feixia looked at the familiar street outside, as if he had passed away.

The wind blows in gently, bringing the freshness of the trees, the charcoal smell of barbecue, the greasy smell of frying... mixed together, it is the smell of the human world.

He took a step forward, step by step, and walked out without looking back.

The sun shines on the body, warm, as if it wants to melt people.

After Shi Feixia walked more than ten steps, he finally felt a solid sense of returning to the human world.

He turned around suddenly, the door was still there, and the lobby was still the same lobby, but the tall, thin and proud figure was gone.

……

Or, he never existed.

Shi Feixia slapped himself suddenly, and murmured: "I'm not the only one dreaming from the beginning to the end, right?"

He looked up at the tall building.

This is... Noah's Ark?A place connected to angels, elves, werewolves, vampires...?

Shi Feixia became unsure.

"Wait!" Suddenly a short figure rushed out from the gate and ran in front of him, "You... forgot to take away your things."

Shi Feixia stared at him blankly.

He also looked at Shi Feixia in a daze.

half an hour.

Only then did Feixia call out, "Layton?"

……

Layton's eyes twitched, "We ate at the same table last night, don't tell me you've lost your memory now."

Shi Feixia touched his forehead, and said with a sigh of relief: "I almost thought that my days in Noah's Ark were all imagined by me, and I was dreaming."

"If you don't believe me, I can smash it until you believe it." Layton raised the thing in his hand.

Shi Feixia's expression froze.

The image of Michael with six emerald green wings is facing him.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Layton immediately handed him the things in his hand, "Here. Anyway, I bought it with my own money. Also," he handed him the Domino receiver in the other hand, "this is I gave it to you as a souvenir."

Shi Feixia looked down at the things in his hands and said with a smile, "Thank you."

"That's it, I'll go first." Layton waved his hand at him, turned around, and took a step, his whole body froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

Shi Feixia followed his gaze, and then also froze.

The building that just happened to stand tall here has disappeared and turned into a row of low-rise private houses.And now they were standing in some abandoned yard.

Layton said blankly, "What kind of place is this?"

"I don't know either. In fact, I had never heard of such a street before I received the Noah's Ark flyer."

Leiton murmured, "Where's Noah's Ark?"

"...it seems to be gone."

Layton stood there silently for 3 minutes, then jumped up like crazy. "Damn Jin! He actually, he actually closed the gate of Noah's Ark without authorization!"

"what?"

"The gate of Noah's Ark can only be opened once in one place, and it will disappear after it is closed!" Layton scratched his head anxiously, "He can't control Noah's Ark at all... and he hasn't found a representative of human beings yet. God!"

"Uh, I think we should solve the current problem first." Shi Feixia kindly reminded.After being made such a fuss by him, all the sad emotions brewing just now disappeared.

Layton turned to look at him: "What is the immediate problem?"

"For example, what do you do?"

※※※

Shi Feixia took Layton back to the place he rented.Fortunately, it only disappeared for a week, not a year, otherwise the landlord would definitely throw his things on the street.

When going up the stairs, a mother and daughter just came down.

Seeing Layton, the little girl suddenly yelled, "Ah, dwarf!"

Layton's figure froze immediately, and he glared at the little girl angrily.

Shi Feixia quickly slowed down and stood in front of him.

Although it is said that in Noah's Ark, Layton's combat power is not ranked at all, but this is the human world, and his flying ax alone can be ranked in the police station.

The mother seemed to feel sorry, and quickly stopped the little girl, "Don't talk nonsense."

"But it's obviously..." The little girl was very aggrieved.

The four passed by.

Mother also smiled at Feixia Shi.

Shi Feixia also smiled back.This is normal communication between neighbors.

He was feeling emotional when he heard the mother say to the little girl in a very small voice: "They are father and son. You can tell it at a glance."

Feixia Shi and Layton: "..."
