Ji Mingxia hid in a corner behind the gazebo. He closed his eyes tightly, covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and kept his breathing as light as possible.
At night, the wind blowing by the lakeside was chilly, making Ji Mingxia's entire lower back feel icy cold. He tried his best to endure it, and he squatted stiffly, not daring to move.
The surroundings were quiet, without any noise, as if he was the only one left in the world.
Time passed bit by bit, and I don't know how long it took. Suddenly, at a certain moment, Ji Mingxia suddenly realized that the wind stopped.
The temperature quickly warmed up, as if returning to the midsummer night. Occasionally, there was the sound of the lake flowing, and the gurgling sound of the water revealed a bit of tranquility and peace. The cold feeling just now completely disappeared without knowing it.
Ji Mingxia opened his eyes in response, and looked around.
It was still on the lake, the gazebo was the same gazebo, the corridor was the same corridor, but for some reason it no longer had that eerie feeling.
At this moment, a footstep sounded from far to near.
Ji Mingxia's heart tightened, before he had time to see who was coming, the next moment, there was a red light in Ji Mingxia's coat pocket for some reason.
Ji Mingxia was startled, and quickly blocked the glowing area with his hand.
The light was like a living thing, although Ji Mingxia covered it, it sprang out from between Ji Mingxia's fingers, twisting flexibly in the air.
The more Ji Mingxia looked at it, the more he felt that the red light was somewhat familiar, and before he could recall it, the red light drifted away leisurely.
Unknowingly, a person stood there, and the red light fell on his hand, filling the gap in the inner circle of the ring on his hand, and the entire ring was finally restored to its integrity.
With the help of the red light and moonlight, Ji Mingxia could see the other person's face clearly at once.
"Yu Ning!" The moment Ji Mingxia saw Yu Ning, his heart relaxed, and he couldn't help calling his name.
The surroundings returned to calm, and Yu Ning had a ring in his hand again, and his intuition told Ji Mingxia that this Yu Ning was real.
He almost couldn't wait to stand up, and ran to Yu Ning at once.
As a result, he was too anxious when running, and didn't pay attention to the steps of the gazebo, and almost tripped in front of Yu Ning.
The ring on Yu Ning's hand was still shining, seeing that Ji Mingxia almost fell, he quickly stretched out his hand to help him.
Ji Mingxia was caught by him, and his face was buried directly on Yu Ning's chest.
Although it was a bit embarrassing, this physical contact made Ji Mingxia even more sure that this was the real Yu Ning.
He supported Yu Ning's arm, and after standing still, he just wanted to ask Yu Ning what he had just experienced, but when he raised his head and saw Yu Ning's face at a close distance, Ji Mingxia was startled.
"Mingxia? Are you okay?" Yu Ning supported Ji Mingxia, seeing him blankly, asked with concern.
"Ah? I'm fine." Ji Mingxia said, looking at Yu Ning's face with some uncertainty, "Yu Ning, your eyes..."
Yu Ning's eyes were originally one gray and one black, but at this moment, he didn't know if it was Ji Mingxia's illusion. He looked left and right, and both of Yu Ning's eyes turned gray?
Yu Ning's gray eye, the pupil color is very light, one gray eye looks quite scary, these two eyes are gray, at first glance, it seems that there is no pupil, only between the two eyes There is a shimmering gray light faintly, matched with Yu Ning's delicate face, it looks very charming at night.
Fortunately, Ji Mingxia is already very familiar with Yu Ning. If he saw Yu Ning's appearance when he first wore it, his legs would be weak on the spot, so he avoided it and didn't dare to take another look.
The expression on Yu Ning's face paused, he closed his eyes, and then opened them after a while, Yu Ning looked at Ji Mingxia and said, "That's it."
"It's the same as before." Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning's eyes restored to the past, and said in surprise, "Your eyeballs will change color?"
Yu Ning looked at the ring on his hand: "It should be caused by using it."
Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning's face, then at the ring, puzzled.
It is said in the original book that Yu Ning has a very special physique, but because he has never taken in any mysterious items, he has not unlocked any special functions at all.
Thinking of the original book, every time the protagonist Gong Peiyuan dealt with the mysterious items, he would suffer bitterly, either lose strength or get injured, Ji Mingxia hurriedly asked: "Yu Ning, how are you feeling now, is there any discomfort?"
Yu Ning shook his head.
Ji Mingxia saw that his whole body was intact, except that his face was habitually pale, he really didn't look like he had been abused by ghosts, he thought for a while, and then said: "Then, can both eyes turn black?"
"It seems impossible." Yu Ning said.
Hearing this, Ji Mingxia was afraid that Yu Ning would be sad because of this, so he hurriedly comforted him: "It's okay, when we go back, we'll buy a box of color contact lenses, red, yellow, and green, match them according to your mood, buy whatever color you want .”
Hearing this, Yu Ning smiled slightly.
When he was young, he especially minded all the suffering these eyes brought him.
But as he gradually grew up, he had long since looked away.
When I was young, I didn’t know that there was such a thing as color contact lenses, and I didn’t have the means to buy them. When I grew up, I saved some urgent needs, and I could still afford them.
But for him, it was completely unnecessary.
Everyone is afraid of him, fears him, and hates him because of these eyes, but it is not entirely because of the eyes, but also because of the various rumors surrounding him.
And these rumors are not all false, after all, he can indeed see things that ordinary people cannot see.
He was born like this, people who care about him will not get close to him, and people who don't care about him so far are only Ji Mingxia.
"Let's go back first." Yu Ning said to Ji Mingxia.
"That ghost..." Ji Mingxia pointed to the box not far away.
Yu Ning took out the bronze mirror like an ornament, handed it to Ji Mingxia, and said, "It won't appear again."
The four weeks had just changed, and Ji Mingxia already had a premonition in his heart that Yu Ning, the protagonist who cheated, must have solved the mastermind behind the scenes, and they were safe again.
But what Ji Mingxia didn't expect was that Yu Ning got another mysterious item.
And this mysterious item is not the ring in Li You's hand, but a brand new mysterious item that looks like a shrunken bronze mirror? !
"This is a new mysterious item...you actually got another mysterious item?!" Ji Mingxia was shocked, "Isn't Li You playing tricks?"
"No, Li You is not in the hotel at all." Yu Ning said.
Ji Mingxia was startled when he heard the words, his brain was completely confused.
Li You clearly stated on Weibo that she was resting in Quanzhuang Resort.
On the first night when they came to the hotel, when they first encountered a mysterious incident, Zhao Zhuoyue also saw a ghost similar to Li You with his own eyes.
Now Yu Ning told him that Li You wasn't in the hotel at all?
"All of this...what the hell is going on." Ji Mingxia said in surprise.
Yu Ning was still holding Ji Mingxia's wrist. Ji Mingxia hid in the pavilion and blew the cold wind for a long time. His body temperature now is almost the same as that of Yu Ning.
Yu Ning said: "It's windy here, let's go back and talk slowly."
"Oh, good." Ji Mingxia's mind was full of messy clues. After hearing what Yu Ning said, he nodded in a daze, followed Yu Ning obediently to leave the lakeside, and walked towards the room.
As soon as he returned to the double room, Yu Ning made hot tea for Ji Mingxia, then put the ring in his hand and the newly obtained bronze mirror on the coffee table together.
The warm yellow lights in the bedroom are extremely warm, as if all the strange events that happened tonight are a dream.
However, the two mysterious objects on the coffee table remind Ji Mingxia that everything is true.
Although these two mysterious items are small, they glow under the light, as if they were alive, they are so exquisite, they are not ordinary things at first glance.
Ji Mingxia always felt that this bronze mirror looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where this familiar feeling came from.
It has been less than a month since he wore it.
In just a short while, he and Yu Ning got two mysterious items?
Could this rhythm be too fast?
The protagonist's attack on Pei Yuan might not be as effective.
Looking at the mysterious item, Ji Mingxia felt mixed feelings in his heart.
But at this moment, he is even more curious about what happened to all this.
Seeing that Ji Mingxia's complexion returned to ruddy after drinking a cup of hot tea, Yu Ning began to speak slowly.
On the first day of staying in the hotel, they encountered a supernatural event. Both Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia reflexively believed that all this had something to do with Li You.
After all, Li You posted the real-time location on Weibo, and Zhao Zhuoyue only encountered the danger after seeing "Li You" with his own eyes.
It wasn't until the next day that everyone lost their memory, and Yu Ning himself encountered the Faceless Man, that he began to have doubts.
"Whether it is the way the ghost appears, the duration and coverage of the attack, and even the method of ghost manifestation, all are completely different from the first ring. So I tried to contact the hotel, and the performance of the hotel manager also confirmed my conjecture." Yu Ning said.
When Ji Mingxia heard the words, he carefully recalled all the details.
After the faceless man in the spa disappeared, Yu Ning immediately took him to investigate the hotel's surveillance. At that time, Ji Mingxia really had doubts, but Yu Ning quickly explained.
If he remembered correctly, after returning from the spa, all doubts had been summed up.
First of all, they confirmed that Zhao Zhuoyue and others belonged to the safe range, only people with amnesia would not be targeted by ghosts;
Second, the ghost shadows are very powerful, and the attack frequency is getting faster and faster every time. In order to protect themselves, they must act as soon as possible.
So at night, the two of them took the initiative to take the risk to the restaurant on the lake.
In Ji Mingxia's view, it was just a brief confrontation with the hotel manager, and it was not easy to extract these two important clues.
As a result, Yu Ning actually told him now that there are more known information, which have been confirmed one by one in Yu Ning's mind.
Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning in shock, his mind was filled with question marks.
Obviously the two of them were stuck together the whole time, and he had experienced everything that Yu Ning had experienced, so why did he seem to have lost his memory and couldn't find any clues? !
Although I have known for a long time that there is a difference between a top student and an ordinary person, the difference...is too big!
"Apart from the two points we discussed...is there any other clues that I haven't noticed?" Ji Mingxia asked blankly.
From his point of view, the whole thing is very clear and simple, where there are small details that he overlooked, he can't even think of it.
Seeing Ji Mingxia's pensive look, Yu Ning explained: "First of all, it's the different attack methods of ghosts, which lead me to guess the second mysterious item."
Ji Mingxia nodded seriously.
Yu Ning said: "We skipped the SPA hall and went directly to the hotel to check the surveillance to prove whether the people with amnesia are purely tourists or cover everyone. This is the motivation for our unreasonable behavior."
They had already discussed this point before, and the reason why Zhao Zhuoyue and others were able to confirm that they were safe was the result obtained through inference from this information.
So far, everything is still within Ji Mingxia's understanding.
Like a student who listened carefully to the class, he nodded again to express his understanding.
Yu Ning said: "Then, our behavior is obviously unreasonable, why should the hotel cooperate with us so much?"
"Ah?" Ji Mingxia didn't expect that Yu Ning would ask this question, he froze for a moment, and got stuck in an instant.
He had never thought about this kind of reverse thinking.
Ji Mingxia said: "Maybe it's for the sake of the hotel's reputation? After all, I almost drowned someone the day before, and the next day..."
Yu Ning said to Ji Mingxia: "Mingxia, you have fallen into a misunderstanding of thinking. Everyone in the hotel has lost their memories. Only the two of us have memories."
Hearing this, Ji Mingxia stared blankly at Yu Ning. After a few seconds, he suddenly realized that he almost jumped up from the spot.
Tong Jing is the person in charge of the hotel and can mobilize all employees in the hotel.
The reason why they were able to see Tong Jing was because both Ji Mingxia and Zhao Zhuoyue fell into the water on the first night and nearly died.
In any hotel, if it involves the life safety of customers, it is considered a major accident. If it is serious, it can even be featured on the social news page.
This kind of incident must be resolved by the person in charge of the highest standard.
But the next day, there was no accident in the spa, even to outsiders, it was just the nonsense of Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning.
Under such circumstances, the person in charge at Tong Jing's level not only appeared, but even cooperated very well...
Yu Ning said that he suspected that the spa hall was not clean, so Tong Jing took someone to the spa hall herself, and took a lot of trouble to check it.
After finally finding out that there was no accident, not only did he not blame Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning, he even gave them gifts...
Ji Mingxia still retains the memory of the day before, and doesn't think there is anything unusual about Tong Jing's behavior.
But once you jump out of the misunderstanding of thinking and think about it carefully, this is simply unreasonable.
The two of them are just ordinary tourists, how can they let the hotel cooperate with them like this.
Yu Ning literally awakened the dreamer with just one word. After Ji Mingxia figured this out, his mind was filled with no other thoughts except "fuck me".
Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning and said, "So, from that time on, you began to doubt Tong Jing?"
Yu Ning nodded: "Well, after checking the bill, I'm 100% sure it's her."
"Check the bill?" Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning suspiciously.
A few seconds later, Ji Mingxia suddenly remembered that in the reception room, while waiting for the surveillance video to be sent, Yu Ning rejected Tong Jing's offer, and asked about how much the room fee would be refunded if they left that day .
Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning in shock: "I thought you calculated the room fee to help Zhao Zhuozhuo and the others calculate how much money they can get after checking out."
Yu Ning said: "They are safe and don't need to check out. We should actually check out."
Ji Mingxia said: "But we came here for the ring, we can't leave..."
After discussing this, Ji Mingxia discovered that Yu Ning's behavior of calculating the room fee was reasonable at first glance, but in fact, it was illogical.
But also because of the misunderstanding of thinking, except for Yu Ning himself, no one else would suspect that there was any problem with his behavior.
After all, I just expressed my dissatisfaction with the hotel, so it is normal to check the bill.
Ji Mingxia said: "So, what are you calculating the room fee for?"
Yu Ning said: "Do you still remember that after you and Zhao Zhuoyue fell into the water, Tong Jing apologized, representing the hotel's promise the day before to upgrade all of us to lifetime VIP members."
Ji Mingxia thought about it, and it seemed that there was such a thing.
But at that time, his attention was all on the supernatural event, and he didn't care about this kind of compensation at all.
Fortunately, what happened just two days ago, Yu Ning reminded Ji Mingxia that he barely remembered it, otherwise Ji Mingxia would have forgotten this detail a long time ago.
Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia pondered: "The hotel promised us a lifelong VIP member, but the collective amnesia the next day, you checked the room fee, because you want to see if the VIP member you promised the day before is still there the next day?"
Yu Ning nodded: "VIP member information is registered in the data database. The unique energy of mysterious items can make people lose their memory. I want to see if the software can also make people lose their memory."
Ji Mingxia didn't expect that Yu Ning would even consider this detail.
This is simply the power of mystery against the power of science.
Ji Mingxia didn't know what to say anymore. He thought it was just an ordinary investigation and monitoring behavior, but he didn't expect that Yu Ning had something deep in it.
This unobtrusive one-shot kills, let alone Tong Jing, Ji Mingxia, as a teammate, would be willing to bow down.
Ji Mingxia almost forgot about VIP membership and calculating the room fee, let alone pay attention to the details.
He looked at Yu Ning impatiently, and asked, "Then what conclusion did you draw?"
Yu Ning said: "According to the room rate calculation results, in the hotel information database, Zhao Zhuoyue and the others are still ordinary users, and only the two of us are VIP members."
"Just the two of us? Didn't they upgrade Zhao Zhuozhuo?" Ji Mingxia was surprised, and then suddenly remembered something, "Hey, I remembered, the reason why we have VIPs is because there were no two people at the beginning when we checked into the hotel. Later, the hotel temporarily agreed to change the room, and upgraded us to VIP membership by the way."
Yu Ning said: "Yes, we agreed temporarily, and only gave us two upgrades. When Zhao Zhuoyue met the ghost, the ghost didn't take the initiative to attack, but when it was our turn, he would kill us."
The scenes that happened in the past two days flashed back in his mind, and a chill gradually climbed up Ji Mingxia's back.
Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning: "You mean, Zhao Zhuoyue's accident was an accident, and the ghost itself didn't want to deal with him. Its target was only the two of us? The moment we first entered the hotel...we were already targeted ?”
Yu Ning nodded.
At this point, Ji Mingxia finally understood what was going on.
The mysterious items can devour each other.
Tong Jing's first prey should be Li You.
For some reason, Li You is not in the hotel at the moment, but it doesn't matter, Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning will be there soon.
Anyway, it's all a ring, and it doesn't matter which one you eat, so Tong Jing naturally won't refuse anyone who comes.
No wonder there was no room at the beginning, and then they were suddenly upgraded. Ji Mingxia thought he was spending money to take advantage of it, but it turned out that the other party had already been eyeing them.
Giving VIP this kind of benefit is itself a compensation behavior to maintain the hotel's reputation.
Give good benefits in advance to facilitate various operations in the future, which not only stabilizes the reputation of the hotel, but also quietly eats the prey.
I have to say that this Tong Jing is quite careful, and her techniques are very sophisticated. If it weren't for Yu Ning, Ji Mingxia might not have known about it before he died, and he would have been sold just like that.
So, here comes a new question, Tong Jing is so powerful, how did Yu Ning manage to not only beat her down, but also subdue Tong Jing?
The last time the two cooperated anyway, although Ji Mingxia didn't have much effect, he still participated in the whole process.
This time, because of the illusion, the two separated, and Ji Mingxia fled the whole time, but in a short while, Yu Ning's side had already finished.
Facing Ji Mingxia's question, Yu Ning explained: "Do you still remember what the driver you met told you before we came to Quanzhuang Resort?"
"Master driver? You mean... a ghost hit the wall?" Ji Mingxia said while thinking back.
Yu Ning said: "For long-distance drivers, fatigue driving is the most likely to occur at night. When people are tired, they will have various hallucinations. During driving, the most worrying situation is that they will hit something that should not be hit. The second is to go the wrong way, which is commonly known as ghost hitting the wall."
Ji Mingxia entered the lecture mode again, looked at Yu Ning curiously and said, "This can only mean that there is a supernatural event near the hotel, is it related to the ring and the bronze mirror?"
Yu Ning said patiently: "The ghost hitting the wall happened a few years ago. At that time, Li You and Lin Siyun were just ordinary students, and they didn't get the ring at all."
When Ji Mingxia was reminded by Yu Ning, he realized that although these two events seemed to be the same event, they were staggered in time.
In this way, it is not only confirmed that what happened in the hotel probably has nothing to do with the ring, but also the general function of another mysterious item can be deduced through this incident.
After Yu Ning revealed so much information, Ji Mingxia's brain was finally able to turn.
He immediately came to his senses and guessed: "If the function of another mysterious item is related to the ghost hitting the wall, and the ghost hitting the wall is related to the illusion, combined with Zhao Zhuozhuo and the ghost you encountered, you can basically guess It can be concluded, what is the behavior style and specific ability of this mysterious item."
"That's right." Yu Ning said, "What it is best at is creating illusions and crushing people's hearts with fear."
Tong Jing's methods of dealing with them can be reversed. Tong Jing is cautious by nature. From a certain point of view, she even cherishes her old nest very much, and maintains the environment and external reputation of this resort with great care.
The bottom line is to create a safe environment, so that she can lie in her lair and have a steady stream of food delivered to her door for her to eat.
And this style of behavior has been implemented from the ghost to the wall to the well-known Quanzhuang Resort.
After all, if a long-distance delivery driver encounters a ghost while driving, he may die on the spot.
There are so many dead people on this section of the road, the government will definitely order the road to be closed.
Only ghosts hitting the wall, although terrifying, will not attract large-scale attention, which is in line with Tong Jing's eating style.
Therefore, since the establishment of Quanzhuang Resort, the ghost hitting the wall disappeared without a trace.
And the supernatural events that Ji Mingxia and others encountered after staying in Quanzhuang Resort can indeed be explained by illusions and fears.
Ji Mingxia said: "So...the ghosts in Quanzhuang Resort are refracted according to the fear in people's hearts.
"The reason why Zhao Zhuoyue saw Li You's ghost was because he wanted to help me find Li You;
"The reason why I saw Lin Siyun's ghost is because deep down in my heart, she is the one I fear the most... The illusion concretizes fear according to our hearts.
"Once you are defeated by the fear in your heart, you will become Tong Jing's prey and fall into the trap of amnesia?"
When Ji Mingxia said this, he suddenly remembered something.
According to this inference, the faceless man in the spa hall is the embodiment of Yu Ning's inner fear.
At night, the wind blowing by the lakeside was chilly, making Ji Mingxia's entire lower back feel icy cold. He tried his best to endure it, and he squatted stiffly, not daring to move.
The surroundings were quiet, without any noise, as if he was the only one left in the world.
Time passed bit by bit, and I don't know how long it took. Suddenly, at a certain moment, Ji Mingxia suddenly realized that the wind stopped.
The temperature quickly warmed up, as if returning to the midsummer night. Occasionally, there was the sound of the lake flowing, and the gurgling sound of the water revealed a bit of tranquility and peace. The cold feeling just now completely disappeared without knowing it.
Ji Mingxia opened his eyes in response, and looked around.
It was still on the lake, the gazebo was the same gazebo, the corridor was the same corridor, but for some reason it no longer had that eerie feeling.
At this moment, a footstep sounded from far to near.
Ji Mingxia's heart tightened, before he had time to see who was coming, the next moment, there was a red light in Ji Mingxia's coat pocket for some reason.
Ji Mingxia was startled, and quickly blocked the glowing area with his hand.
The light was like a living thing, although Ji Mingxia covered it, it sprang out from between Ji Mingxia's fingers, twisting flexibly in the air.
The more Ji Mingxia looked at it, the more he felt that the red light was somewhat familiar, and before he could recall it, the red light drifted away leisurely.
Unknowingly, a person stood there, and the red light fell on his hand, filling the gap in the inner circle of the ring on his hand, and the entire ring was finally restored to its integrity.
With the help of the red light and moonlight, Ji Mingxia could see the other person's face clearly at once.
"Yu Ning!" The moment Ji Mingxia saw Yu Ning, his heart relaxed, and he couldn't help calling his name.
The surroundings returned to calm, and Yu Ning had a ring in his hand again, and his intuition told Ji Mingxia that this Yu Ning was real.
He almost couldn't wait to stand up, and ran to Yu Ning at once.
As a result, he was too anxious when running, and didn't pay attention to the steps of the gazebo, and almost tripped in front of Yu Ning.
The ring on Yu Ning's hand was still shining, seeing that Ji Mingxia almost fell, he quickly stretched out his hand to help him.
Ji Mingxia was caught by him, and his face was buried directly on Yu Ning's chest.
Although it was a bit embarrassing, this physical contact made Ji Mingxia even more sure that this was the real Yu Ning.
He supported Yu Ning's arm, and after standing still, he just wanted to ask Yu Ning what he had just experienced, but when he raised his head and saw Yu Ning's face at a close distance, Ji Mingxia was startled.
"Mingxia? Are you okay?" Yu Ning supported Ji Mingxia, seeing him blankly, asked with concern.
"Ah? I'm fine." Ji Mingxia said, looking at Yu Ning's face with some uncertainty, "Yu Ning, your eyes..."
Yu Ning's eyes were originally one gray and one black, but at this moment, he didn't know if it was Ji Mingxia's illusion. He looked left and right, and both of Yu Ning's eyes turned gray?
Yu Ning's gray eye, the pupil color is very light, one gray eye looks quite scary, these two eyes are gray, at first glance, it seems that there is no pupil, only between the two eyes There is a shimmering gray light faintly, matched with Yu Ning's delicate face, it looks very charming at night.
Fortunately, Ji Mingxia is already very familiar with Yu Ning. If he saw Yu Ning's appearance when he first wore it, his legs would be weak on the spot, so he avoided it and didn't dare to take another look.
The expression on Yu Ning's face paused, he closed his eyes, and then opened them after a while, Yu Ning looked at Ji Mingxia and said, "That's it."
"It's the same as before." Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning's eyes restored to the past, and said in surprise, "Your eyeballs will change color?"
Yu Ning looked at the ring on his hand: "It should be caused by using it."
Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning's face, then at the ring, puzzled.
It is said in the original book that Yu Ning has a very special physique, but because he has never taken in any mysterious items, he has not unlocked any special functions at all.
Thinking of the original book, every time the protagonist Gong Peiyuan dealt with the mysterious items, he would suffer bitterly, either lose strength or get injured, Ji Mingxia hurriedly asked: "Yu Ning, how are you feeling now, is there any discomfort?"
Yu Ning shook his head.
Ji Mingxia saw that his whole body was intact, except that his face was habitually pale, he really didn't look like he had been abused by ghosts, he thought for a while, and then said: "Then, can both eyes turn black?"
"It seems impossible." Yu Ning said.
Hearing this, Ji Mingxia was afraid that Yu Ning would be sad because of this, so he hurriedly comforted him: "It's okay, when we go back, we'll buy a box of color contact lenses, red, yellow, and green, match them according to your mood, buy whatever color you want .”
Hearing this, Yu Ning smiled slightly.
When he was young, he especially minded all the suffering these eyes brought him.
But as he gradually grew up, he had long since looked away.
When I was young, I didn’t know that there was such a thing as color contact lenses, and I didn’t have the means to buy them. When I grew up, I saved some urgent needs, and I could still afford them.
But for him, it was completely unnecessary.
Everyone is afraid of him, fears him, and hates him because of these eyes, but it is not entirely because of the eyes, but also because of the various rumors surrounding him.
And these rumors are not all false, after all, he can indeed see things that ordinary people cannot see.
He was born like this, people who care about him will not get close to him, and people who don't care about him so far are only Ji Mingxia.
"Let's go back first." Yu Ning said to Ji Mingxia.
"That ghost..." Ji Mingxia pointed to the box not far away.
Yu Ning took out the bronze mirror like an ornament, handed it to Ji Mingxia, and said, "It won't appear again."
The four weeks had just changed, and Ji Mingxia already had a premonition in his heart that Yu Ning, the protagonist who cheated, must have solved the mastermind behind the scenes, and they were safe again.
But what Ji Mingxia didn't expect was that Yu Ning got another mysterious item.
And this mysterious item is not the ring in Li You's hand, but a brand new mysterious item that looks like a shrunken bronze mirror? !
"This is a new mysterious item...you actually got another mysterious item?!" Ji Mingxia was shocked, "Isn't Li You playing tricks?"
"No, Li You is not in the hotel at all." Yu Ning said.
Ji Mingxia was startled when he heard the words, his brain was completely confused.
Li You clearly stated on Weibo that she was resting in Quanzhuang Resort.
On the first night when they came to the hotel, when they first encountered a mysterious incident, Zhao Zhuoyue also saw a ghost similar to Li You with his own eyes.
Now Yu Ning told him that Li You wasn't in the hotel at all?
"All of this...what the hell is going on." Ji Mingxia said in surprise.
Yu Ning was still holding Ji Mingxia's wrist. Ji Mingxia hid in the pavilion and blew the cold wind for a long time. His body temperature now is almost the same as that of Yu Ning.
Yu Ning said: "It's windy here, let's go back and talk slowly."
"Oh, good." Ji Mingxia's mind was full of messy clues. After hearing what Yu Ning said, he nodded in a daze, followed Yu Ning obediently to leave the lakeside, and walked towards the room.
As soon as he returned to the double room, Yu Ning made hot tea for Ji Mingxia, then put the ring in his hand and the newly obtained bronze mirror on the coffee table together.
The warm yellow lights in the bedroom are extremely warm, as if all the strange events that happened tonight are a dream.
However, the two mysterious objects on the coffee table remind Ji Mingxia that everything is true.
Although these two mysterious items are small, they glow under the light, as if they were alive, they are so exquisite, they are not ordinary things at first glance.
Ji Mingxia always felt that this bronze mirror looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where this familiar feeling came from.
It has been less than a month since he wore it.
In just a short while, he and Yu Ning got two mysterious items?
Could this rhythm be too fast?
The protagonist's attack on Pei Yuan might not be as effective.
Looking at the mysterious item, Ji Mingxia felt mixed feelings in his heart.
But at this moment, he is even more curious about what happened to all this.
Seeing that Ji Mingxia's complexion returned to ruddy after drinking a cup of hot tea, Yu Ning began to speak slowly.
On the first day of staying in the hotel, they encountered a supernatural event. Both Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia reflexively believed that all this had something to do with Li You.
After all, Li You posted the real-time location on Weibo, and Zhao Zhuoyue only encountered the danger after seeing "Li You" with his own eyes.
It wasn't until the next day that everyone lost their memory, and Yu Ning himself encountered the Faceless Man, that he began to have doubts.
"Whether it is the way the ghost appears, the duration and coverage of the attack, and even the method of ghost manifestation, all are completely different from the first ring. So I tried to contact the hotel, and the performance of the hotel manager also confirmed my conjecture." Yu Ning said.
When Ji Mingxia heard the words, he carefully recalled all the details.
After the faceless man in the spa disappeared, Yu Ning immediately took him to investigate the hotel's surveillance. At that time, Ji Mingxia really had doubts, but Yu Ning quickly explained.
If he remembered correctly, after returning from the spa, all doubts had been summed up.
First of all, they confirmed that Zhao Zhuoyue and others belonged to the safe range, only people with amnesia would not be targeted by ghosts;
Second, the ghost shadows are very powerful, and the attack frequency is getting faster and faster every time. In order to protect themselves, they must act as soon as possible.
So at night, the two of them took the initiative to take the risk to the restaurant on the lake.
In Ji Mingxia's view, it was just a brief confrontation with the hotel manager, and it was not easy to extract these two important clues.
As a result, Yu Ning actually told him now that there are more known information, which have been confirmed one by one in Yu Ning's mind.
Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning in shock, his mind was filled with question marks.
Obviously the two of them were stuck together the whole time, and he had experienced everything that Yu Ning had experienced, so why did he seem to have lost his memory and couldn't find any clues? !
Although I have known for a long time that there is a difference between a top student and an ordinary person, the difference...is too big!
"Apart from the two points we discussed...is there any other clues that I haven't noticed?" Ji Mingxia asked blankly.
From his point of view, the whole thing is very clear and simple, where there are small details that he overlooked, he can't even think of it.
Seeing Ji Mingxia's pensive look, Yu Ning explained: "First of all, it's the different attack methods of ghosts, which lead me to guess the second mysterious item."
Ji Mingxia nodded seriously.
Yu Ning said: "We skipped the SPA hall and went directly to the hotel to check the surveillance to prove whether the people with amnesia are purely tourists or cover everyone. This is the motivation for our unreasonable behavior."
They had already discussed this point before, and the reason why Zhao Zhuoyue and others were able to confirm that they were safe was the result obtained through inference from this information.
So far, everything is still within Ji Mingxia's understanding.
Like a student who listened carefully to the class, he nodded again to express his understanding.
Yu Ning said: "Then, our behavior is obviously unreasonable, why should the hotel cooperate with us so much?"
"Ah?" Ji Mingxia didn't expect that Yu Ning would ask this question, he froze for a moment, and got stuck in an instant.
He had never thought about this kind of reverse thinking.
Ji Mingxia said: "Maybe it's for the sake of the hotel's reputation? After all, I almost drowned someone the day before, and the next day..."
Yu Ning said to Ji Mingxia: "Mingxia, you have fallen into a misunderstanding of thinking. Everyone in the hotel has lost their memories. Only the two of us have memories."
Hearing this, Ji Mingxia stared blankly at Yu Ning. After a few seconds, he suddenly realized that he almost jumped up from the spot.
Tong Jing is the person in charge of the hotel and can mobilize all employees in the hotel.
The reason why they were able to see Tong Jing was because both Ji Mingxia and Zhao Zhuoyue fell into the water on the first night and nearly died.
In any hotel, if it involves the life safety of customers, it is considered a major accident. If it is serious, it can even be featured on the social news page.
This kind of incident must be resolved by the person in charge of the highest standard.
But the next day, there was no accident in the spa, even to outsiders, it was just the nonsense of Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning.
Under such circumstances, the person in charge at Tong Jing's level not only appeared, but even cooperated very well...
Yu Ning said that he suspected that the spa hall was not clean, so Tong Jing took someone to the spa hall herself, and took a lot of trouble to check it.
After finally finding out that there was no accident, not only did he not blame Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning, he even gave them gifts...
Ji Mingxia still retains the memory of the day before, and doesn't think there is anything unusual about Tong Jing's behavior.
But once you jump out of the misunderstanding of thinking and think about it carefully, this is simply unreasonable.
The two of them are just ordinary tourists, how can they let the hotel cooperate with them like this.
Yu Ning literally awakened the dreamer with just one word. After Ji Mingxia figured this out, his mind was filled with no other thoughts except "fuck me".
Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning and said, "So, from that time on, you began to doubt Tong Jing?"
Yu Ning nodded: "Well, after checking the bill, I'm 100% sure it's her."
"Check the bill?" Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning suspiciously.
A few seconds later, Ji Mingxia suddenly remembered that in the reception room, while waiting for the surveillance video to be sent, Yu Ning rejected Tong Jing's offer, and asked about how much the room fee would be refunded if they left that day .
Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning in shock: "I thought you calculated the room fee to help Zhao Zhuozhuo and the others calculate how much money they can get after checking out."
Yu Ning said: "They are safe and don't need to check out. We should actually check out."
Ji Mingxia said: "But we came here for the ring, we can't leave..."
After discussing this, Ji Mingxia discovered that Yu Ning's behavior of calculating the room fee was reasonable at first glance, but in fact, it was illogical.
But also because of the misunderstanding of thinking, except for Yu Ning himself, no one else would suspect that there was any problem with his behavior.
After all, I just expressed my dissatisfaction with the hotel, so it is normal to check the bill.
Ji Mingxia said: "So, what are you calculating the room fee for?"
Yu Ning said: "Do you still remember that after you and Zhao Zhuoyue fell into the water, Tong Jing apologized, representing the hotel's promise the day before to upgrade all of us to lifetime VIP members."
Ji Mingxia thought about it, and it seemed that there was such a thing.
But at that time, his attention was all on the supernatural event, and he didn't care about this kind of compensation at all.
Fortunately, what happened just two days ago, Yu Ning reminded Ji Mingxia that he barely remembered it, otherwise Ji Mingxia would have forgotten this detail a long time ago.
Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia pondered: "The hotel promised us a lifelong VIP member, but the collective amnesia the next day, you checked the room fee, because you want to see if the VIP member you promised the day before is still there the next day?"
Yu Ning nodded: "VIP member information is registered in the data database. The unique energy of mysterious items can make people lose their memory. I want to see if the software can also make people lose their memory."
Ji Mingxia didn't expect that Yu Ning would even consider this detail.
This is simply the power of mystery against the power of science.
Ji Mingxia didn't know what to say anymore. He thought it was just an ordinary investigation and monitoring behavior, but he didn't expect that Yu Ning had something deep in it.
This unobtrusive one-shot kills, let alone Tong Jing, Ji Mingxia, as a teammate, would be willing to bow down.
Ji Mingxia almost forgot about VIP membership and calculating the room fee, let alone pay attention to the details.
He looked at Yu Ning impatiently, and asked, "Then what conclusion did you draw?"
Yu Ning said: "According to the room rate calculation results, in the hotel information database, Zhao Zhuoyue and the others are still ordinary users, and only the two of us are VIP members."
"Just the two of us? Didn't they upgrade Zhao Zhuozhuo?" Ji Mingxia was surprised, and then suddenly remembered something, "Hey, I remembered, the reason why we have VIPs is because there were no two people at the beginning when we checked into the hotel. Later, the hotel temporarily agreed to change the room, and upgraded us to VIP membership by the way."
Yu Ning said: "Yes, we agreed temporarily, and only gave us two upgrades. When Zhao Zhuoyue met the ghost, the ghost didn't take the initiative to attack, but when it was our turn, he would kill us."
The scenes that happened in the past two days flashed back in his mind, and a chill gradually climbed up Ji Mingxia's back.
Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning: "You mean, Zhao Zhuoyue's accident was an accident, and the ghost itself didn't want to deal with him. Its target was only the two of us? The moment we first entered the hotel...we were already targeted ?”
Yu Ning nodded.
At this point, Ji Mingxia finally understood what was going on.
The mysterious items can devour each other.
Tong Jing's first prey should be Li You.
For some reason, Li You is not in the hotel at the moment, but it doesn't matter, Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning will be there soon.
Anyway, it's all a ring, and it doesn't matter which one you eat, so Tong Jing naturally won't refuse anyone who comes.
No wonder there was no room at the beginning, and then they were suddenly upgraded. Ji Mingxia thought he was spending money to take advantage of it, but it turned out that the other party had already been eyeing them.
Giving VIP this kind of benefit is itself a compensation behavior to maintain the hotel's reputation.
Give good benefits in advance to facilitate various operations in the future, which not only stabilizes the reputation of the hotel, but also quietly eats the prey.
I have to say that this Tong Jing is quite careful, and her techniques are very sophisticated. If it weren't for Yu Ning, Ji Mingxia might not have known about it before he died, and he would have been sold just like that.
So, here comes a new question, Tong Jing is so powerful, how did Yu Ning manage to not only beat her down, but also subdue Tong Jing?
The last time the two cooperated anyway, although Ji Mingxia didn't have much effect, he still participated in the whole process.
This time, because of the illusion, the two separated, and Ji Mingxia fled the whole time, but in a short while, Yu Ning's side had already finished.
Facing Ji Mingxia's question, Yu Ning explained: "Do you still remember what the driver you met told you before we came to Quanzhuang Resort?"
"Master driver? You mean... a ghost hit the wall?" Ji Mingxia said while thinking back.
Yu Ning said: "For long-distance drivers, fatigue driving is the most likely to occur at night. When people are tired, they will have various hallucinations. During driving, the most worrying situation is that they will hit something that should not be hit. The second is to go the wrong way, which is commonly known as ghost hitting the wall."
Ji Mingxia entered the lecture mode again, looked at Yu Ning curiously and said, "This can only mean that there is a supernatural event near the hotel, is it related to the ring and the bronze mirror?"
Yu Ning said patiently: "The ghost hitting the wall happened a few years ago. At that time, Li You and Lin Siyun were just ordinary students, and they didn't get the ring at all."
When Ji Mingxia was reminded by Yu Ning, he realized that although these two events seemed to be the same event, they were staggered in time.
In this way, it is not only confirmed that what happened in the hotel probably has nothing to do with the ring, but also the general function of another mysterious item can be deduced through this incident.
After Yu Ning revealed so much information, Ji Mingxia's brain was finally able to turn.
He immediately came to his senses and guessed: "If the function of another mysterious item is related to the ghost hitting the wall, and the ghost hitting the wall is related to the illusion, combined with Zhao Zhuozhuo and the ghost you encountered, you can basically guess It can be concluded, what is the behavior style and specific ability of this mysterious item."
"That's right." Yu Ning said, "What it is best at is creating illusions and crushing people's hearts with fear."
Tong Jing's methods of dealing with them can be reversed. Tong Jing is cautious by nature. From a certain point of view, she even cherishes her old nest very much, and maintains the environment and external reputation of this resort with great care.
The bottom line is to create a safe environment, so that she can lie in her lair and have a steady stream of food delivered to her door for her to eat.
And this style of behavior has been implemented from the ghost to the wall to the well-known Quanzhuang Resort.
After all, if a long-distance delivery driver encounters a ghost while driving, he may die on the spot.
There are so many dead people on this section of the road, the government will definitely order the road to be closed.
Only ghosts hitting the wall, although terrifying, will not attract large-scale attention, which is in line with Tong Jing's eating style.
Therefore, since the establishment of Quanzhuang Resort, the ghost hitting the wall disappeared without a trace.
And the supernatural events that Ji Mingxia and others encountered after staying in Quanzhuang Resort can indeed be explained by illusions and fears.
Ji Mingxia said: "So...the ghosts in Quanzhuang Resort are refracted according to the fear in people's hearts.
"The reason why Zhao Zhuoyue saw Li You's ghost was because he wanted to help me find Li You;
"The reason why I saw Lin Siyun's ghost is because deep down in my heart, she is the one I fear the most... The illusion concretizes fear according to our hearts.
"Once you are defeated by the fear in your heart, you will become Tong Jing's prey and fall into the trap of amnesia?"
When Ji Mingxia said this, he suddenly remembered something.
According to this inference, the faceless man in the spa hall is the embodiment of Yu Ning's inner fear.
