Gu Xizhou, who was inside the elevator, was stunned when he heard the female ghost's words. He looked at her through the gap in the elevator. Then, the elevator closed.
Gu Xizhou repeated the female ghost's words. "Death is not the end now, so there is no need to be afraid of death."
Death is not the end. The female ghost had said this once before, but she had been interrupted by Si Yu. Gu Xizhou did not hear the latter part of the sentence, but it was obvious that the two sentences were not the same.
"Death is not the end now." Perhaps he could understand it as, "Death now is not real death, but death in the future will be real death."
Did this female ghost know something? Gu Xizhou opened the door to the staircase, but the female ghost had already disappeared.
Gu Xizhou carried the monster tour guide, who had been crippled by him, and took the elevator to the seventh floor. Other than Fu Yiran, who was expressionless, the rest of his teammates all looked at him and saluted.
Gu Xizhou pushed open the door to Room 8002 and tossed the monster tour guide inside.
Outside the hotel, a small snowman stood on the snowy ground. It looked at the female ghost in red who was slowly walking toward it and silently gave her a hug.
The female ghost was not afraid of the cold, but she had changed into the red down jacket, red scarf, red hat, and red gloves that she had worn before she died.
She took off the hat and put it on the snowman. Then, she gave the snowman the scarf and gloves.
Inside the hotel, the tour guide was tossed in. Not long after the door closed, the entire Room 8002 suddenly turned into snowflakes.
A snowflake landed on Gu Xizhou's palm and slowly melted into water. However, he did not feel cold. Instead, he felt a little warm. The snow in his palm felt like it had melted under the sun.
Li Yan heaved a sigh of relief. It was the same as what he had told her the next day. Her heart finally settled down. She had been worried that something unexpected would happen.
"Li Yan is my real name. This phone number is my contact number. If you need anything, you can call me," Li Yan said to Gu Xizhou in a low voice.
Gu Xizhou nodded slightly and accepted the phone number. However, he did not think about contacting Li Yan.
After speaking, Li Yan opened the door and took a deep look at Fu Yiran before leaving the mission world.
Only Gu Xizhou, Si Yu, Fang Zhi, and Fu Yiran were left. The other three had already left. Gu Xizhou turned to look at Fu Yiran, but Fu Yiran only looked at him indifferently.
Gu Xizhou pulled Fu Yiran to a corner. He frowned and asked, "What was the meaning of the note you gave me in the mission world?"
Fu Yiran lowered his eyes and did not look at Gu Xizhou. He seemed to be in a daze.
Actually, the change in Fu Yiran's attitude was very strange. The first time they met, this guy even gave him a note. Even though he had a devilish personality, overall, he was still quite nice …
Why was there such a huge contrast between the two times?
"Why exactly?" Gu Xizhou asked in a low voice.
Fu Yiran suddenly looked up at Gu Xizhou. A hint of confusion flashed across his eyes. He seemed to be hesitating whether he should speak or not.
Fu Yiran looked at him. His dark eyes looked at Gu Xizhou. He bit his lip and said, "Do you think I will believe in a 'knife used for murder'?"
"A knife used for murder?" Gu Xizhou instinctively felt that the 'knife' Fu Yiran was talking about was him. "What do you mean?"
"Gu Xizhou, everything that happened after you were resurrected was just to 'sharpen the knife'. I don't believe in 'knives'. I only believe in myself."
When Gu Xizhou heard the word 'resurrected', he grabbed Fu Yiran's wrist tightly. A cold light flashed across his eyes as he ordered, "What do you know? Tell me! "
Fu Yiran shook his head and said firmly, "I don't believe in knives."
Then, no matter how Gu Xizhou asked, Fu Yiran refused to say another word.
Gu Xizhou entered the room. He heard the wind howling, but strangely enough, he did not feel cold. Gu Xizhou closed his eyes and wondered if it was because he had experienced the events after the female ghost's death that he did not feel cold. Suddenly, he felt a discomfort in his stomach. It felt like there was a hand scratching at his heart and liver.
Gu Xizhou opened his eyes. He was surrounded by cold wind and snowy mountains. He was standing in the middle of the snowstorm, and not far from him was the hotel.
Pain.
So painful.
Such thoughts kept appearing in the body's owner's mind. When Gu Xizhou noticed the discomfort in the body's owner, he retracted his thoughts and focused his attention on the body's owner. The owner's body was snowy white, and there was not a trace of impurities on his body. There was a red scarf around his neck, and the scarf was embroidered with hexagonal snowflakes using white wool.
Gu Xizhou wanted to take a look at the owner's hands. At that moment, the owner could not stand the pain anymore and placed his hands on his stomach. Gu Xizhou could see clearly that these were two tree branches that could be seen everywhere on the ground.
He realized that he had possessed a snowman's body.
The little snowman used its hands to sweep away the snow on its stomach. Gu Xizhou followed its gaze, and his gaze fell on the exposed fingers on the snowman's stomach.
Fingers, human fingers!
The little snowman was shocked. It hurriedly hollowed out the lower half of its body. The bloody snow was discarded on the ground. Hands, feet, head, and even … internal organs … It was disgusting.
The little snowman was frightened. It was too scary. It was just a snowman. It was made of snow, not blood!
It shouldn't have these human limbs and strange organs on its body!
The little snowman covered its heart with one hand. As the snow fell, its body was gradually submerged until the snowflakes covered the top of the little snowman's head.
The snowman's life had come to an end.
Gu Xizhou's vision turned black.
The two children pressed on the eyes of a snowman.
When Gu Xizhou could see again, he found that he had become a snowman again. This time, the snowman wore a yellow scarf around its neck and a black hat on its head. Its nose was made of carrots, and its hands were still the common tree branches.
After the two children worked together to complete the snowman, they began to have a snowball fight.
The little snowman's gaze fell on the two children and moved back and forth. The two children had created it. Although it would disappear after winter, it would not be sad because its life was short, because it was a snowman that could melt.
Suddenly, the little snowman felt very uncomfortable in its stomach. Its stomach hurt, but it did not dare to move because it was a snowman. If it moved, it would scare the two children.
In the afternoon, the two children were called home by their parents.
"Little snowman, we'll play with you tomorrow!"
The two children left, leaving the little snowman alone in the world of ice and snow, looking at the passersby in loneliness.
It was not until night that the little snowman secretly dug out its stomach to check the pain. A human adult female's head was in its stomach. The little snowman was stunned.
It was very worried that if it threw the head on the ground, it would scare the two children, so it endured the pain and stuffed the head back into its stomach. It wrapped the head into a big snowball, so thick that it could not be seen.
The next day …
The two children did not come, and the little snowman was a little disappointed. But this was good, the human head in its stomach would not scare them.
Another day passed, and a few people passed by the snowman standing by the roadside. These people all covered their noses at the same time.
"Why is it so smelly here?!"
"Yes, it's so disgusting, like the smell of a dead rat."
"Ugh … It smells so bad, let's go quickly!"
The little snowman with the yellow scarf heard the passersby's words. It knew that it was the smell coming from its body. This stench drifted far away, and it thought that it was disgusting, but it also felt terrified and inferior because of it.
At night, the little snowman quietly moved its body. It walked to the corner of the wall and stood there, enduring the monster in its stomach … Finally, its life dissipated, and the water stains after the snowman melted were colder than the snow.
After an unknown period of time, Gu Xizhou opened his eyes again. It was still a snowy day, and it was still a snowman.
Just as he opened his eyes, he saw a woman in her thirties angrily slapping the child who was building the snowman. "How many times have I told you, don't build a snowman! If you build a snowman again, the snowman will find you and eat you! "
"Ah ah ah —" When the child heard his mother's words, he opened his mouth and cried. Then, the woman took his hand and left.
The snowman with the beige checkered scarf opened its eyes and looked at the mother and son leaving with a lonely expression. Then, it slowly lowered its head and put its hand on its heart …
"Thump, thump, thump!"
The sound of a solid and powerful heartbeat made the little snowman go crazy. There was a human heart in its body. It was too disgusting!
It was just a snowman!
The little snowman became more and more lonely. It listened carefully to the conversations of the people around it —
"Have you heard of the legend of the snowman? It's the hotel on the mountain. I heard that the snowman will eat people! "
"Every once in a while, a person will go missing, and at the same time, a snowman will appear."
The little snowman pricked up its ears to listen to the people around it. It felt that all of this must be because of the hotel on the mountain.
It was not a snowman that ate people, and its body was not a burial ground to hide corpses.
Its flesh and blood were snowflakes.
Gu Xizhou heard the sound of chains sliding. The chains fell on the snowy ground and suddenly became cold.
The next moment, his vision suddenly became bright. Gu Xizhou opened his eyes and used his hand to block the light that entered the room. He turned his head to look at Si Yu, who had also come out. When he left the mission world just now, Fu Yiran had not left.
Gu Xizhou asked, "What did Fu Yiran say to you?"
When Si Yu heard this, her eyes reflected the light and her eyebrows raised slightly.
Gu Xizhou thought that Si Yu did not want to say and was a little unhappy. He curled his lips and gave Si Yu a "ha ha ha ha" in his mind.
However, he heard Si Yu say lightly, "He told me not to fall in love with you."
Gu Xizhou rolled his eyes and said, "Tsk, why should I listen to him?"
The moment he said this, Gu Xizhou realized that there was something wrong with what he said … Why did it feel so strange …?
Si Yu nodded. Her dark eyes were slightly curved, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. "Yes, don't worry. I don't intend to listen to him."
Gu Xizhou: …
Fang Zhi, who was in a daze:??? I feel that the atmosphere between you two is not right!
