Throne of Radiance

The empty hotel was quiet and lonely. On the ceiling, the retro-style chandelier specially built according to the original appearance emitted a soft halo, slightly diluting the gloomy atmosphere.

The floor was clean and tidy, with no blood stains or corpses—a month ago, at Li Fufeng's suggestion, the two corpses had been moved upstairs to the master bedroom.

It was also from then on that the ghosts did not make a big noise when they were not paying attention, threatening them.

"Little Adams, we're staying overnight again!"

Accompanied by Liu Ningshuang's familiar voice saying hello, Li Fufeng walked to the reception desk in the lobby on the first floor, and put a box of exquisitely packaged cookies on it. Besides, he also had a copy of the latest comic magazine in his hand .

"—This is everyone's accommodation fee, please check."

He said this in a serious tone, as if he was really paying some serious accommodation fee, then he put down the things in his hand and said with a smile:

"This is the most delicious cookie in our most popular dessert shop here. It's really great. I want to share it with you after I eat it. There is also the latest issue of Comic Weekly, with new works Start serializing!"

After doing all this, Li Fufeng left the reception desk, assuming that he would no longer disturb the other party's enjoyment of food and comics.

He looked at Liu Ningshuang, who was pretending to be relaxed and calm—just now when Li Fufeng was talking to himself, the little bit of courage that Liu Ningshuang had finally mustered up lost again. Some curiosity that can't be dispelled, even if she is killed, she won't come back.

"Idle is idle, do you want to play flying chess?" Li Fufeng has completely seen through her current nature of being a strong outsider, after all, who grew up together when she was young, who was the guy who ran out of the house and almost climbed a tree after watching a ghost movie? Woolen cloth?He didn't expose it, he just held up the small box he brought, "Although you seem to have lost many times."

The bitterness of the non-chief is poked, so is the European emperor great?Liu Ningshuang suddenly forgot about the others. No ghost or ghost could compare to the hateful Ouhuang: "Come as soon as you come, isn't it just luck? Luck doesn't always favor one person."

The two took out the flying chess and sat down on the sofa.Yin Xubai was not interested in this childish game, and went straight to the room in the back of the hotel. He was going to adjust the various instruments and equipment that had been moved here one after another for more than a month.

It is said that he has some inspiration and is researching some situations related to different spaces. It seems that some magnetic field fluctuations are involved... Anyway, Chu Xingrui felt dizzy just after hearing a few words, and of course he didn't plan to go to Yin Xubai's side to seek guilt.

He walked towards the two of Liu Ningshuang who were about to play chess, and eagerly raised his hand and said, "Add me, add me! My luck has always been good."

This attracted Liu Ningshuang's double dissatisfaction: "If you are lucky, you can't do whatever you want, let me defeat you with my strength!"

The three immediately started a "battle".

More than half an hour later, Liu Ningshuang slumped on the sofa with blank eyes.She has already lost into a dull salted fish, and she just wants to beat the ground: "Damn it, hate it, damn it... Damn Ouhuang! Can you do whatever you want if you're lucky?"

"Facts have proved that good luck means that you can do whatever you want." Chu Xingrui laughed, his tone very proud.

Li Fufeng was lying on the other side of the sofa. Hearing this, he only raised his arm, raised a finger, and said concisely: "+1."

Liu Ningshuang: ...Critical strike doubled!

She lay back with her head in her arms, as if she had lost her soul.

"How is it? Do you want to play together?" At this moment, Liu Ningshuang heard Li Fufeng's voice, "Isn't it interesting?"

"——It's just right for four of us to play together."

"Four people? My eldest cousin is not interested in playing such childish games..." Liu Ningshuang cursed in her heart, and just about to say it, she suddenly realized something, and her body froze.

She maintained a reclining posture on the sofa, turning her head to the left bit by bit like a machine.

In front of the coffee table diagonally behind, Li Fufeng sat down again at some point, with a flying chess board in front of him, he looked solemnly at the empty opposite side, and extended an invitation.

After a while of silence, there seemed to be a breeze blowing quietly, and the dice on the table were rolled by the wind, and finally stopped on the "six o'clock" side.

Then, a chess piece wobbled and flew up.

It seemed that someone sat down on the sofa beside Liu Ningshuang, and rubbed her arm with a cold little hand.

"what--!"

Liu Ningshuang let out a tragic scream, jumped up from the sofa like a rabbit, and rushed out with a "swish", as fast as if there was only an afterimage.

Li Fufeng:!

Chu Xingrui:! ! !

To be honest, they were not frightened by the chess pieces floating out of nowhere, but by Liu Ningshuang.

Chu Xingrui was a little scared at first, but Liu Ningshuang's reaction confused him. He looked at Liu Ningshuang who was rushing out, and then at Li Fufeng: "She's always been so scared...cough" Considering a certain existence, he didn't Say the word "ghost", "Has she always been like this?"

"Well, in fact, she is quite courageous at ordinary times." The corner of Li Fufeng's mouth twitched, trying to hold his little friend back, "Maybe it's...that she overreacted because she wasn't familiar with the little friend?"

As if to verify what Li Fufeng said, in less than 2 minutes, the door of the hotel was opened again, and Liu Ningshuang, who had rushed out just now, walked in slowly again, with an elegant and calm expression, which seemed rare and even rare ladylike.It was as if nothing happened just now, and everything was just everyone's illusion.

She coughed twice, moved a stool and sat down opposite the sofa across the coffee table, tried her best to keep her eyes from wandering in a certain direction, with a solemn expression as if she was about to go to the battlefield:

"Didn't you say you want to play flying chess? Come on!"

Probably because her reaction pleased a certain kid and made the little guy feel very interesting, the dice rolled out of thin air again, giving the meaning of #游戏开始#.

The other two also ignored what happened just now, pretending that nothing happened, although the smiles at the corners of their mouths and eyes couldn't be suppressed at all.

The four "people" played chess happily in this way.

... No, they are the only ones who are happy, and I have nothing.Liu Ningshuang burst into tears in her heart.

To be precise, only Li Fufeng and the invisible children are really immersed in the fun of the game; Chu Xingrui is a little scared, a little novel, and a little uncontrollable curiosity; as for Liu Ningshuang...

The sad bgm rang in her heart.

But in any case, there is some uncontrollable surprise in everyone's heart-they know exactly what everything that happened now means!Means the ghost is finally willing to communicate.

The four played several games of flying chess before giving up.

"I'm going to see how my eldest cousin is doing." Liu Ningshuang felt that the time had come, and the previous embarrassing incident had been turned over, so she found an excuse and slipped out of the living room.

"Go, go." Chu Xingrui also began to feel bored, found a place to nest, and played mobile games.

Li Fufeng is the only one who can continue to play flying chess with the children happily.

While playing chess, he also talked to the children, although basically he was talking to himself.It's almost like "How are you feeling recently?" "Did you like the chocolate you brought last time?" "Will you be bored every day without other people here?" The elders who care about the children.

The falling speed of the chess pieces in mid-air is getting slower and slower, as if the other person is distracted by listening to him carefully.

"By the way, don't you really think about it again? Mom and Dad can be with you forever in a different state. In fact, you also know that it's not good to be like this all the time, right?"

At this moment, Li Fufeng suddenly spoke, touching on the sensitive topic of "cremating corpses".

But this time, what greeted him was not a fierce gust of wind.

The flying chess pieces slowly stopped in mid-air.

Seeing this, Li Fufeng's eyes lit up, and he said persistently: "If you don't believe me, you can follow us all the way to see your parents for a ride."

The chess pieces fell heavily in mid-air.

Li Fufeng began to guess: "Are you agreeing? Or refusing? Can't do it? You can't leave here?"

The chess pieces on the table flew up and down for a while, Li Fufeng finally made a judgment, and said tentatively: "You agreed, but you can't go by yourself?"

He suddenly stretched out his hand and grasped the chess piece hovering in mid-air, only to feel the icy cold touch fleetingly.

Li Fufeng smiled slightly.

"Then, leave everything to me. Don't worry, if I take him away with my own hands, I will send them back with my own hands."

"Hey, hey, is this done?"

When the others came back, they all showed astonished expressions when they learned about the agreement between the two from Li Fufeng.

"My little plum is amazing!" Liu Ningshuang was even more amazed.For her, ghosts are simply the existence at the top of the food chain, and Li Fufeng can even handle the top of the food chain, this is simply 666, 6 turned over!

Anyway, everyone is very happy.

This time, when they went to carry the two corpses again, they did not encounter any obstruction or damage, and took them out of the hotel smoothly.

At this time, everyone realized that according to Li Fufeng's report, the ghosts could not leave the hotel for the time being, so if they did not fulfill the agreement after bringing the corpses out, or took samples from the corpses for research, the ghosts didn't seem to know.

"Tsk, you are still a child, it's so easy to deceive!" Chu Xingrui sighed, "Li Fufeng, if you are going to kidnap a child, you will be sure to deceive everyone."

Having said that, everyone didn't want to violate the agreement.Even if someone mentioned the possibility of collecting some blood from the corpses, even Yin Xubai, who had been eyeing the two corpses and wanted to collect some samples, did not agree.

——Although he didn't think it was too much to take some samples, since the agreement was reached, he had to abide by it.In this regard, Yin Xubai is also a very principled person.

not to mention……

"I can't do such a thing as deceiving a child."

Yin Xubai said so, and it was even more impossible for others to object.Under the special channel opened by the Supernatural Affairs Investigation Bureau, the two corpses were sent to the crematorium that day.

That night, the door of the hotel was opened again.

Li Fufeng brought over the altar containing the ashes overnight.

In fact, there is no need to be in such a hurry. Everyone's idea is to bring it with you when you come the next day, but Li Fufeng always seems to have an ability to read people's hearts and a strange sense of responsibility.

He always felt that it was not good for the children to stay in the hotel alone with their parents, even for just one night. Maybe the children had been waiting for him to bring the ashes back.And as the person who proposed this agreement, he has the responsibility to make it happen.

Therefore, Li Fufeng came directly without waiting for the next day.

After saying hello as usual, Li Fufeng looked around, placed the spiritual altar in his arms in the cabinet behind the reception desk, and carefully examined it again. He felt that this place was quite suitable, so he stepped back a few minutes. step.

As soon as he turned around, he heard a snap, and the old TV on the wall suddenly lit up.

In the case of no one's manipulation, it started directly.

Li Fufeng opened his mouth wide in surprise.

There was a flash of snowflakes on the screen, and then turned into a blank background, like a piece of snow-white drawing paper.

One by one lines were gradually drawn on the "drawing paper", and then another, and then one... One by one, the hall with furniture was outlined on the screen.There are also raindrops symbolized by short slanted black lines.

If you look carefully, you will find that the gradually formed interior structure is almost exactly the same as the layout of this hotel.

"This is……"

Two villains were outlined in the picture, and then, the static picture became dynamic, the little people moved on the screen, and a figure painted in a black ball walked to the center of the picture, with a demon king growing on his head like horns.

Two villains fell down, the red lines began to diffuse, another villain walked down the stairs, the dark figure chased him slowly like a cat catching a mouse, the villain ran around on the screen, and then fell down .

The entire screen turned into a large expanse of red.

The smile on Li Fufeng's lips gradually disappeared.

He could already see what this simple animation represented.

"...Is this what happened that night?" He asked softly, "Is this what you saw?"

After his words fell, the screen changed again, and the familiar news channel appeared, and the host's familiar and dull lines: "... Once again, I would like to remind citizens that the serial killer "K" with thirteen lives in his hands has a huge potential. It may have sneaked into the city..."

Soon, the picture on the TV screen switched again.

This time, a little boy who appeared to be only four or five years old was standing in the lobby playing with toy cars, dancing and dancing, very happy.Two figures, a man and a woman whose faces cannot be seen clearly, stood beside him, watching him with a smile.

The scene changed again, and the little boy who reappeared grew up a little bit, fell to the ground and covered his bleeding knee and cried, the woman who couldn't see his face gently comforted him.

Maintaining a switching frequency of about three seconds, the pictures on the TV screen flashed rapidly. The main character was basically the little boy. Sometimes the couple would appear on the scene, and sometimes some children of the same age would appear on the scene, but apart from himself Other than that, the faces of other people are blurred.

Li Fufeng had a vague realization, and murmured: "Is this your memory? Is it something deep in your memory? Can I think that you already regard me as a friend, little Adams?"

Having said that, he laughed.

"...This way of communication is very special."
