Chapter 2: Flip-flop

Along the way, two pals plus a driver listened to a tragic love story that had ups and downs along the way and was not allowed to be told.

Jiang Luo work every day to listen to customers nagging, other dare not say anything, some customers' life that is more bloody than the TV series. His eloquence is also time and again to cope with the party practiced, borrowed from the content of the TV series and the customer's life experience, Jiang Luo extracted a complete story outline, he began to act.

From you love me and I don't love you, you pursue me and I can't get enough of you, to when you die and I realize that I have long been in love with you. The whole story has sadness and happiness, sweetness and abuse, even the driver uncle who listens to the comedy has silently turned off the comedy and pricked up his ears to listen to Jiang Luo's story.

"When ...... Chi You was a teaching assistant at our school, he would carry me to the office after class to make up for it, and then take me all over the campus, saying that he was practicing my feng shui reading skills. But I thought he was deliberately trying to make things difficult for me," Jiang Luo leaned on the back of his chair, his entire person covered by shadows, melancholy flowing from his white, moist brows, "That day he confessed his love for me and I turned around and walked away ...... Who knows that after I left, he died ."

Lu Youyi suddenly realized, "No wonder you were scolding Chi You every day those days, I thought you were jealous of him."

Jiang Luo said, but it is not just jealousy.

The original owner is jealous of Chi You's talent, and Chi You is not really gentle and kind. After class, he smiles and tosses the original owner around, saying that it's a remedial lesson, but in fact, he is not showing his talent in front of the original owner. The original owner is incapable but high-minded and narrow-minded, seeing how easy it is for Chi You to make things he can't learn, he hates Chi You even more as his spirit grows more and more twisted.

Jiang Luo shook his head with a bitter smile, "Looking back now, I really want to go back to that time."

As soon as the words fell, a cloudy wind violently attacked the window, and the fast wind whistled past the glass window like a sharp sword. Jiang Luo was stunned, raised his hand to look, white small arm, has instinctively provoked a layer of goose bumps.

He turned his head to look out the window.

The roadside trees, which were as small as an adult's wrist, were broken into pieces by the wind and rain. The raindrops slant across the car window and then slowly drip down in an unbearable manner.

The transparent raindrops gradually change to a tan color, like a drop of blood, suggesting the decline of life.

It slipped right onto the tip of Jiang Luo's eyebrow.

Jiang Luo's face did not look different, he withdrew his sight and raised his eyes to the rearview mirror, in which there were only the three of them and the cab driver sitting in front.

There are no evil spirits.

Maybe there is, but he can't see it.

"No wonder Chi You would always leave you at the office during that time," Ye Xun thought wistfully, "so he just wanted to take the opportunity to spend time with you."

Jiang Luo, "Yes ......"

The glass snapped and crunched, surprisingly cracking with a spiderweb-like crack.

The three in the backseat stared at the window with jaws dropping, and Lu Youyi muttered, "Boss, aren't those windows a little too cheap for you?"

The driver was confused, "That's impossible."

A cold wind came in through the cracked glass, blowing on Jiang Luo's neck with a deathly cold, as if a hand was rubbing Jiang Luo's neck with interest, secretly warning Jiang Luo not to talk nonsense.

Jiang Luo touched his neck and only felt a cool air.

The driver kept wanting to look back to see what was going on with the window, but he had to drive, so he could only look back after a couple of glances. Lu Youyi and Ye Xun squeezed to the side to make a safe place for Jiang Luo, and Ye Xun continued to ask, "Am I right?"

His neck was suddenly tightened, Jiang Luo could not help but cough, the knot in his throat gently rolled twice, surprisingly even swallowing felt a hint of difficulty. The smile on his face grew wider and wider, ruffling the black hair beside his shoulders, a smile blossomed on his face that was a mixture of voluptuousness and Englishness that forced him to say with certainty, "Yes, Chi You wants to live in a world of two with me."

Jiang Luo remembers it well.

Chi You can't kill him now.

Even if Chi You could kill him, it wouldn't be like this, just squeezing his neck. Chi You should be like in the original text, using cruel and bloody means to make him beg for his life and death.

Such a superficial warning is more like teasing Jiang Luo, like a human teasing a wild cat with shiny claws, the more arrogant and hot-tempered the wild cat is, the more fun it is to tease it. If Jiang Luo changed his mind at this point, it would make Chi You feel bored and kill him without mercy.

As expected, Jiang Luo was not harmed in any way even after these words were spoken. The coolness at his neck slowly dissipated, leaving only the broken glass window.

Half an hour later, the trio arrived at their destination.

Jiang Luo was the first to pay, and it took half a minute for the driver to receive a reminder that the fare had been paid, and that there was an extra thousand dollars in addition to the fare, with a note that read "window fee (￣︶￣).

The driver looked up in surprise and glanced out to see that the three men were already far away.

Hotel 129 is a local netroots hotel, located in the North Third Ring Road East, the location is remote, the main reason why the fire, mainly because of the beautiful environment, innovative styling, plus spend money on publicity.

The exterior mimics the style of a fairy tale castle, with a striking pink and bright yellow color scheme that definitely catches the eye.

After previous exchanges, Lu Youyi and Ye Xun clearly accepted Jiang Luo, and Lu Youyi took the initiative to ask, "Did you read about Hotel 129 before you left?"

Jiang Luo shook his head honestly, "No."

Lu Youyi looked sympathetic, apparently thinking that Jiang Luo didn't read the information because Chi You was dead, "It's okay, everything will pass."

Jiang Luo matched it with a strong smile.

Lu Youyi, "I'll give you the information roughly. Have you ever heard of Hotel 129 before?"

Jiang Luo nods, "I've heard of it."

Local college students who often go out to play have basically heard of the 129 Hotel, which specializes in fairy tale style, claiming that it will allow guests to enjoy a dreamy fairy tale life free from the worries of reality. Inside the themed rooms are various, the most famous is the sleeping beauty, snow white and other themed rooms, business is the hottest time, continuous queuing for a month may not be able to book a room.

Lu Youyi said, "129 Hotel is very hot, and there will even be a lot of people from the provinces specifically to come here to play cards. But half a year ago, 129 Hotel's business suddenly went downhill."

"The ratings on the website were getting lower and lower, and customers who had stayed at the 129 Hotel started complaining frequently. According to them, they would experience inexplicable headaches, poor sleep, mental decline while staying at the hotel, and very unlucky things would happen when they returned from the hotel."

Ye Xun took over, "But up until here, the owner of Hotel 129 hadn't noticed anything wrong. It wasn't until a month ago that three people disappeared out of thin air here among a group of guests who booked Hotel 129 for a local trip from a foreign province."

Jiang Luo: "No surveillance at Hotel 129?"

"It's precisely because the surveillance has failed and the person disappeared in a bizarre manner. So the officials thought it was a metaphysical side event, and gave the store manager's commission to the dean, who sent it to us as a mission," Ye Xun said carelessly, suddenly picking up the rabbit doll and placing it under his eyes, and turning his head expressionlessly towards Jiang Luo and Lu Youyi to show off, "I asked Xiao Fen, and Xiao Fen said that after this job, I would have enough credits to enter the Yunnan competition. Xiao Fen said that after this, I'll have enough credits to participate in the competition in Yunnan."

Lu Youyi envied, "I'm still far from it."

After saying that, they looked at Jiang Luo in unison. Jiang Luo thought about the original body's grades and was silent for a while, "My credits are 3."

Lu Youyi and Ye Xun: "Hiss."

Shame on you, shame on me, as a school bully who has been crushing others since childhood, Jiang Luo wants to pull out the original owner and whip him.

The competition that Ye Xun is talking about is a large-scale competition held once every four years in the metaphysical world, and this year it is held in Yunnan Province. Each time the competition attracts great attention from people in the circle, and it is regarded as a grand event in the metaphysical and feng shui circles, and the competition has a scientific name like Jiang Luo's specialty, which is called the "Challenge of the National University Students' Natural Science Competition". The competition also has a name as scientific as Jiang Luo's specialty, "National Challenge of Natural Science Competition for College Students".

Metaphysics students among the major schools with 20 or more credits can participate in the competition.

Lu Youyi and Ye Xun were surprised for a moment, but remembering Jiang Luo's previous behavior, they were not surprised anymore. Lu Youyi wondered if Jiang Luo hadn't listened to the class at all: "Your credits are too embarrassing, Jiang Luo, did you learn anything in class? I will test you, you take a look at the surrounding environment, say 129 hotel feng shui how."

Jiang Luo stood still at the words and looked around the perimeter.

The original owner's brain is empty, not much expertise. But Jiang Luo is studying design, and those who study design should learn more or less about feng shui, so as not to violate taboos.

He first looked at the 129 Hotel, the fairy tale styled building was unique among the green hills, Jiang Luo raised his eyebrows, "There are mountains in the back, grass in the front, water on the left, a long road on the right, the green dragon, white tiger, vermilion bird and Xuanwu are all together, it's a piece of feng shui treasure land."

No wonder business used to be so hot.

Jiang Luo looked around again and suddenly let out an "eek", "There's another court around."

Ye Xun faintly said, "That was just built two years ago, it used to be a slaughterhouse."

Jiang Luo laughed and raised his finger to point to the windows on both sides of the hotel, "The windows are facing the courthouse, and both the slaughterhouse and the courthouse are places of supreme yin and yang, which are not beneficial to people, and this commits the Window Siren."

Slaughterhouses are too bloody, and the souls of the animals killed will form a negative magnetic field. People who work in slaughterhouses or live in the neighborhood for a long time will be affected by the magnetic field and become violent and irritable, or will be negative and sad for unknown reasons. The court is too rigid, too much yang energy, will also produce some bad effects.

Lu Youyi was impressed with him and felt that he had really put on tinted glasses and viewed Jiang Luo in a biased way, "Jiang Luo, I originally thought that you only have a good face, but it turns out that in addition to having a good face, you can at least compare to the granddaughter of my second aunt's sister-in-law's family, who is still in elementary school."

Jiang Luo ："...... "He sometimes thinks it's not easy for Lu Youyi to live to such a big age.

Three people walked into the fairy tale castle, the store manager has long been scratching his head waiting for them. He was relieved to see them come, but then he took a look at the three of them at a young age and couldn't help but show despair, "How come it's three little dolls."

The store manager took another look at Ye Xun and the rabbit doll in his arms and broke down and cried, covering his face.

Ye Xun was expressionless, "He said we were little dolls."

Lu Youyi touched his face and said joyfully, "He's right."

Jiang Luo could see a bit of accusation on Ye Xun's face, it looked like Ye Xun had suffered a lot of slights like this because of the doll. As someone who had just been helped by Ye Xun, Jiang Luo stroked his chin, "I have a way to make sure that people will never call you a doll again, want to try?"

Ye Xun immediately agreed, "Good."

Jiang Luo told Ye Xun and Lu Youyi to stand back, and alone, he walked up to the boss, flexed his fingers and tapped the table, "Boss, what are you crying about?"

The owner looked up with a choked sob, "Here come all the little dolls, and they won't let me cry?"

Jiang Luo, "Do you know what it means to say that you can't judge a book by its cover?"

"For us three students to be sent here to accept your commission, that proves that we are capable of doing your business," Jiang Luo pointed to Ye Xun, "This dude is awesome, ghosts are scared when they see him, what are you afraid of?"

The owner was half-convinced, "There's something about this doll that scares people."

Jiang Luo sighed, "I'll tell you the truth, the rabbit doll he's holding isn't a rabbit doll at all, it's a spell coalesced by hundreds of evil ghosts, ordinary people would have accidents if they hold it, but he's fine with it, do you know why?"

The boss got a little scared, "Why?"

The atmosphere grew weird and eerie, and the boss cautiously glanced towards the doll in Ye Xun's arms, and was surprised to see the doll's unpopular eyeballs literally rolled around!

The owner's breath caught in his throat and his face went so white that he almost fell out of his chair.

Jiang Luo didn't see the doll's change, his tone was gradually grim, "Because he likes to eat ghosts, he eats them when he's unhappy, and he eats them when he's happy, you can see that he looks small, but in fact he's already fifty-eight years old, it's only because he's eaten too many ghosts that his body is in reverse of yin and yang that he's stopped growing, and the grudge dolls are afraid of the scent on him. Your hotel happened so big strange things, we dare to come, this is not all because we follow him?"

The boss winced, he didn't dare to look at the grudge doll again, "I, I know."

Jiang Luo knocked on the table and lowered his voice, "Remember, don't tell anyone about this."

The boss nodded his head stiffly, he took a deep breath, walked over to Ye Xun and Lu Youyi, and laughed dryly, "I'm sorry classmates, I absolutely trust in your abilities, what I said before was me joking hahahaha! Don't mind it, don't mind it, why don't I take you to the room where the previous guest disappeared?"

Ye Xun The corners of his mouth hooked slightly as he nodded haughtily, "Let's go."

Jiang Luo followed at the end, and Lu Youyi asked him curiously, "What did you tell the boss?"

Jiang Luo sighs, "The boss is a good man, I said Ye Xun didn't like being called a baby doll, he immediately corrected himself and swore that he would never call him that again."

Lu Youyi couldn't help but nod repeatedly, "It's rare nowadays to see such an uncle who knows his mistakes and corrects them."

129 The interior of the hotel is done in a very large courtyard landscape, almost like a small garden. Rather than a hotel, it is more like an estate with residences scattered around.

As the owner led them through a gazebo, there was an old man and a young milk and grandchild resting in rocking chairs in the gazebo.

The owner explained, "This is my old lady, who I picked up for a month or two, and that fart kid is my waifu, who's just three years old this year."

The youngest child was rocked to sleep by the rocking chair, and the grandmother greeted them with a formal greeting and walked slowly away with her grandson in her arms.

Jiang Luo looked steadily at the child's chubby lotus-root-like wrist and wondered if there was something wrong with his eyes, otherwise why would he see a black mist-like gas on this arm?

"Lu Youyi," Jiang Luo poked Lu Youyi, his eyes still looking straight at the distant child, "Do you see the black mist on that child's arm?"

Lu Youyi said blankly, "What is it? I don't see anything."

Jiang Luo: "Didn't see anything?"

Lu Youyi shook his head.

Jiang Luo frowned, contemplating as he followed his boss's footsteps.

He trusted himself beyond belief that just because Lu Youyi didn't see it didn't mean what he saw was wrong. So what was the thing he saw?
