Imperial Capital, a certain Western restaurant.

Hearing the sound of the box door being pushed open, Ji Yuwei stood up immediately.

"Sorry, I had something to do on Monday and missed the appointment." Chu Yao apologized to her.

The girl in front of her was obviously a few years younger than Ji Yuwei, but she could give her an inexplicable sense of security.

Ji Yuwei smiled softly and said nonchalantly: "I want to chat with you for a while. I'm very happy that you can come. How can I say that I'm breaking an appointment."

Ji Yuwei had already ordered the dishes in advance, and Chu Yao was a little puzzled that they were all his favorite dishes.

She didn't have much contact with Ji Yuwei, so how did Ji Yuwei learn about her preferences?

After the two chatted for a while, Ji Yuwei suddenly said: "My father woke up yesterday. He was very weak, but he asked my sister and I to go to a banquet, and we must go."

Ji Yuwei took out a dark red invitation letter from her bag. She had not opened it herself. The seal of the seal was still on it. It was an X-shaped pattern composed of champagne glasses and forks intersecting, with cursive writing on the bottom. With "SX".

As soon as Chu Yao saw this seal, he remembered Yuan Ruibin's autopsy report. He had an identical tattoo on his body.

It seemed that this banquet was specially held for Ji Yuwei and Ji Peishan, and they wanted to completely change their destiny at the banquet.

From then on, Ji Peishan will steal Ji Yuwei's future, and Ji Yuwei will face death on her behalf.

Chu Yao opened the seal, and the seal happened to roll under the table. She took out the letter paper with gold characters on a black background and read it slowly.

"Hello, Miss Ji Yuwei, we are very honored to invite you to this grand banquet. You can use this letter to invite a relative or friend to accompany you. The time will be 7 o'clock this Friday evening. We look forward to your taking the time to come."

Rather than saying this is an invitation, it is better to say it is an order, because there is no chance for Ji Yuwei to refuse between the lines.

She had to go. If she didn't obey Ji Shaocheng's words, he would ask someone to tie her up even if he was lying on the hospital bed now.

Chu Yao rubbed the edge of the letter and said calmly: "I'll go with you."

"Really?" Ji Yuwei said in surprise, and then asked worriedly, "Is it going to be dangerous? I can just go by myself."

"No." Chu Yao smiled lightly. If he had to say "dangerous", maybe she was the "dangerous" to others.

There might be other victims at this banquet.

If we can catch all the masterminds, we can get twice the result with half the effort.

However, I wonder if the "master" who actually cultivated the Five Elements Fruit will show up at the banquet?

After returning home, Chu Yao turned on the computer and entered the keywords "Elevator" and horror movies into the browser.

Although it is said to be a horror movie, there are no ghosts or other supernatural phenomena in the whole movie. There is just an optimistic and strong man trying to survive in the elevator.

The movie creates a tense atmosphere very well, and the audience seems to be pulled into that dark, narrow space. They never know what kind of dilemma they will face in the next second, maybe they are rescued, maybe they die. .

It has to be said that the protagonist in the film has a kind of strength that is beyond ordinary people. Even if he feels the injustice and anger of his fate, he can still quickly regain his composure and find a solution.

However, at the end of the film, the man faces death with relief. He is glad that it was himself who died and not his wife and young daughter.

The next second, the entire screen went dark, but a bright light emerged from the center.

The man opened his eyes and found that he was lying in the hospital, with various tubes connected to his body to maintain his life.

He survived, albeit scarred.

Soon, he discovered that what he saw was not a lucky dawn. Suddenly, many memories appeared in his mind, memories that he had deliberately forgotten.

He wasn't trapped in a malfunctioning elevator, but experienced an earthquake.

The moment the earthquake struck, the building collapsed and the man fell into a coma. His subconscious shaped the elevator environment for him.

Not only is he working hard, but the doctors who treat him are also working hard to give him a glimmer of hope.

His wives and daughters were not so lucky.

It was Friday night in a blink of an eye.

There were two black cars parked in front of Ji's house. Ji Peishan had already gotten into the front one, and she was already a little impatient with the wait.

If it was someone else, why would Ji Yuwei let herself wait for her?

Is she worthy?

Ji Peishan took out her mobile phone and sent a message to her mother.

"Yuwei, people outside are urging me, haven't you cleaned up yet?"

The adoptive mother's stern voice came from outside the house, and Ji Yuwei reluctantly responded: "It will be fine in five minutes."

"Well, hurry up, everyone is waiting impatiently."

Today is the day to attend the banquet. Ji Shaocheng is ill in bed, so his wife can only supervise Ji Yuwei on his behalf, while his adoptive mother directly asks for a day off from school.

The originally agreed time was to leave at six o'clock, but the time agreed upon by Ji Yuwei and Chu Yao was at five fifty, but the banquet organizer sent a car in advance.

Fortunately, Chu Yao arrived in time.

When Ji Yuwei couldn't wait to open the door, she saw an ugly girl.

Ji Yuwei was stunned. It wasn't until Chu Yao casually raised her lips that she was sure that the person in front of her was Chu Yao.

The adoptive mother glanced at Chu Yao with sharp eyes and said with disgust, "Is this the friend you are talking about? Tsk, you are so petty."

Ji Yuwei didn't know how she did it. Not only her appearance was completely different, but her temperament also changed.

Chu Yao now gives people the impression that she is a girl who has low self-esteem, is introverted, and can even be said to be cowardly and timid.

The adoptive mother wanted to comment a few more words, but when she thought that today was a very important matter and couldn't delay, she swallowed the words that came to her lips.

After getting in the car, Chu Yao found that the car window used a special kind of glass, which was opaque on both sides.

The organizer of the banquet did not want to reveal the specific location of the banquet, even in front of a dying person.

For Chu Yao, these tricks are useless. Her eyes can penetrate even stones, let alone a small layer of glass.

The atmosphere in the car was too dull. Ji Yuwei didn't speak. She seemed to be in a daze, but there was struggle in her eyes.

"Wouldn't it be better if we gave up..."

"People like me shouldn't trouble others anymore."

"I'm so tired. I really want to take a rest."

Chu Yao frowned. Ji Yuwei's thoughts were filled with negative words. Did she want to just accept her fate?
