Well of Mystery

At [-]:[-] in the evening, Su Zi walked into the lobby of the highest-grade hotel in Baiguan Town with his backpack on his back.

Because it is the off-season of tourism, there are very few guests staying here.The doorman who was standing in the lobby warming up looked him up and down at his clothes before walking over with a bit of contempt.

"Sir, our hotel doesn't have bed rooms."

"No, I'm here for dinner." Su Zi looked up at him: "How do I get to the restaurant?"

"Do you have an appointment?"

"Yes." Su Zi nodded, and then announced the inviter's name: "Zheng Chuchen."

Five minutes later, the door of the observation box on the thirteenth floor of the hotel was gently pushed open.

The man standing by the floor-to-ceiling window quickly turned his head and stared at Su Zi who walked in.

"Ah Zi, thank you for willing to see me."

Zheng Chuchen attaches great importance to tonight's date - he has obviously been dressed carefully, with a neat suit, shiny leather shoes, shiny cufflinks and tie clips, looking like a successful person in high society.

In contrast, Su Zi's clothes looked too shabby.He was still wearing the purple down jacket, carrying a backpack containing maps and seeds, at first glance he looked like a young school student.

Zheng Chuchen looked him up and down for a while, and seemed to want to persuade him to change his clothes again, but he held back after all, first asked Su Zi to take a seat, and then sat next to him.

"Where did you hide some time ago?" He asked Su Zi, "Obviously I even searched carefully for the imperial tomb, but I just couldn't find you."

"I slept for a while."

Su Zi replied: "I fell asleep about 100 years ago, and I only woke up in the past few years. I avoided a catastrophe in a chaotic world, but I didn't have time to say goodbye to some old friends."

"Yeah, in the past 100 years. We did lose a lot of comrades."

Zheng Chuchen also nodded with emotion, but he couldn't bear to take his eyes off Su Zi's body for a moment.

"But fortunately, you and I are still here. You don't know... After saying goodbye to you, I miss you every day, but I can't find you. It's really tormenting..."

"Brother Zheng, you know what I'm thinking."

Su Zi interrupted Zheng Chuchen.Looking up at him: "I can lie to others. I can make fun of it and make fun of it. But if I do that to you, it is disrespectful to you. In my heart. You are indeed different, but not what you expect The kind of difference. The answer, no matter how many times you ask it, will not change."

"I know."

Zheng Chuchen was still pressing forward with perseverance: "But I was entrusted by that person to take good care of you. Now that person has lost his mind and soul. He has disappeared between heaven and earth. You can't just stay alone forever like this .”

Desperate... How long are you going to lie to me?

Su Zi chewed these four words silently, but said calmly on the surface: "Shangxian like Jiang Han has exhausted his mana. His soul is gone, and a little ghost like me can still How long will it last? Brother Zheng, why waste time on me, a little bug who lives and dies at night."

"No, I won't let that happen!"

Zheng Chuchen interrupted him suddenly, and raised his chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat from the earthen pot in front of him and put it in Su Zi's bowl: "Stop talking about that now. Eat. These ingredients are specially prepared by me, they are helpful for cultivation. for."

Su Zi couldn't refuse, so she nodded and ate it.Zheng Chuchen seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.He also moved his chopsticks.

The two of them got along quietly for a while, and Zheng Chuchen basically took a look at Su Zi's state of eating a bite of food.Su Zi was watched silently for a long time.In the end, I couldn't help but put down the chopsticks.

"Brother Zheng, there is a sentence that I should not say from my standpoint."

"It shouldn't be said, that's what I want to say, let's say it."

"Then I'll say it."

Su Zi wiped her mouth with a tissue: "Why did you intervene between Jiang Chenglu and Bai Xiuqi?"

"Intervene?" Zheng Chuchen showed a confused expression: "Jiang Chenglu and I are good brothers. We haven't seen each other for a long time, so we got together recently. But it seems that Mr. Bai misunderstood it. This is a complete misunderstanding. .”

"Misunderstanding?"

Su Zi repeated these two words in a low voice: "I have practiced with you for so long, and this is the first time I heard that you still have a good brother alive. To be honest, I used to suspect that you pursued me because I loved you. What is the use value of words."

"I am sincere to you!" Zheng Chuchen frowned, showing a hurt expression: "Then do you still doubt me now?"

"I now suspect that there is something wrong with your brain." Su Zi laughed, "I really don't understand, what is it worth thinking about for a guy like me who has nothing?"

"Why is it not worth it?" Zheng Chuchen retorted seriously: "If there is a person who can follow me like you follow Jiang Han, then I will pursue him like I pursue you now."

"Then you might be suitable for an office romance."

Su Zi supported his head with one hand, and looked at Zheng Chuchen playfully: "I heard Bai Xiuqi tell you why he came here. You actually released the news about the tomb-slayer beast on purpose? Don't hide it from me, you know I can see it." Act like you're lying."

"Is it because I can't lie too much, or have you been watching me secretly?"

Zheng Chuchen touched his face, which still maintained a gentle smile: "Although I can't explain anything specifically for the time being, I can assure you. This is for you, for me, and even for many of our kind. It's all good. Am I lying now?"

Su Zi avoided his staring eyes impatiently: "What exactly do you want to do? Can't you just tell me straight up?"

"It's okay to be straightforward, but you have to promise me not to tell others. And..." Zheng Chuchen suddenly showed a seductive expression: "You have to kiss me."

"..."

Su Zi knew that that was not Zheng Chuchen's real purpose, he just simply didn't want to say it.Even if he was really stupid enough to lose a kiss, he would not get a real answer.

So he simply changed the subject: "I like Bai Xiuqi very much, and I don't want him to be hurt."

"I have no ill feeling towards Bai Xiuqi either." Zheng Chuchen nodded flatteringly, but said something unexpected: "But Bai Xiuqi's fate is in Jiang Chenglu's hands."

"You want them to kill each other?" Su Zi looked at him in astonishment: "What exactly are you doing this for?"

"Why did you ask a lot of questions that shouldn't be asked today?"

Zheng Chuchen gently pressed Su Zi's right hand: "Did someone you hate say something to you? Or... did you see something you shouldn't see?"

"..."

This guy knows it!

Su Zi's heart trembled slightly.No longer bothering to cover up, he put the chopsticks back on the table, turned around and grabbed his coat and put it on his body.

"You want to go?" Zheng Chuchen grabbed his wrist: "We just met!"

"Brother Zheng, please forgive me for not agreeing with your actions. You can't treat other people's lives like this."

Su Zi wanted to shake Zheng Chuchen's hand away, but the man took a step ahead and grabbed the backpack that was on the ground and hugged it in his arms.

"Ah Zi, haven't you ever thought about why I would tell you these things? Do you think I would take the risk and ask you to tell that Bai Xiuqi?"

Su Zi's complexion changed drastically.He took two steps back.Abandoning the backpack and running to the door of the box—the door opened easily, but there was someone behind the door.

Ah!

Su Zi gasped - it was Ye Feng who bumped into everyone in Duantang early this morning!

The traces of last night's fierce fighting have not disappeared.Although the man in front of him was also in a suit, his head was wrapped with a bandage and his left hand was hanging on his chest, which looked a bit ridiculous.

Su Zi didn't just retreat.He took a step back, assessing Ye Feng's injuries.Thinking about the odds of winning against him.

"You'd better die of this heart."

Zheng Chuchen's voice came slowly from behind: "As long as it is my order, he will do it even if he dies."

"Oh?" Su Zi laughed, "Then why don't you try to pursue him like you pursued me?"

"..."

Hearing these words, Ye Feng was stunned for a moment.Of course Su Zi didn't miss this opportunity, he was about to rush to the corridor.

But he hasn't been able to take half a step.Ye Feng's arm was already wrapped around him, and it looked like a soft punch was stuck in his stomach, but it was a burning pain.

I haven't felt such a strong pain for a long time.Su Zi snorted, feeling a little nostalgic in her heart.

At this time, Zheng Chuchen also hurried over. "Slap!" A crisp slap hit Ye Feng's face.

"Who allowed you to hit him!"

"I'm sorry." Ye Feng apologized in a low voice, while lowering his gauze-wrapped head.

"Hahaha..." Su Zi laughed suddenly: "Another fool..."

Zheng Chuchen grabbed his arm and pulled him to his side: "You should think about the two of us first."

The heavy box door was closed again.

Su Zi sat back at the dining table, and in front of her was a bowl of soup served by Zheng Chuchen himself.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't force me?" Su Zi looked at her own face reflected on the soup surface with a wry smile.

"That's right, I said it." Zheng Chuchen nodded boldly: "But I never said that I would not regret it. Didn't you just sigh? In the past 100 years, we have lost too many comrades. I even once I thought, you will die silently in a place I don't know... Just thinking about it like this makes me feel like I can't breathe."

"So you think no matter what, get it first and then talk about it?"

"I'm doing this for your own good too. Going to the mausoleum area will be very dangerous, and you can't stay any longer. I will put you in a place that is absolutely safe. After the matter is over, even if you want the director of the research institute location, I can give it to you too."

"What will happen in the mausoleum area?" Su Zi asked, "Why do you want those tomb-suppressing beasts?"

"Why? Of course because of 'need'."

Having said this, Zheng Chuchen's eyes shone with a strange frenzy.

Su Zi drank the soup calmly on the surface, but she was thinking non-stop in her heart.Now that Zheng Chuchen has said so much, it seems that he will not let him go easily today.There is Ye Feng guarding the door, if you want to leave, you have to...

Thinking of this, he secretly looked at the large floor-to-ceiling glass window beside him.

But here is the eleventh floor above the ground.But for anything that has a body, it is not so easy to jump directly without injury.

Even ghosts are no exception.

At that time, if he is caught again, it will be really hard to fly.

He was hesitating, but he heard Zheng Chuchen on the side asking unhurriedly: "Have you heard of it? Have you ever heard of it?"
