Well of Mystery

When did Li Kun disappear?Where did he go again?

Bai Xiuqi knew nothing.

He could only guess that while he was staring at the model in the window, this guy had already slipped away quietly.

"Li Kun!"

Bai Xiuqi tried to call out, but her voice was stuck in her throat.There is no way, the surroundings are too quiet, so quiet that it makes people feel nervous and fearful.

He turned around, and suddenly found that there was something obviously extra beside the old bookcase placed against the wall behind him.

Bai Xiuqi doesn't have the ability of photographic memory, but he can be sure that that thing never existed in that position before.

Because something like this is so unique.It has a face, and it's a distorted, alluring, weird face...

It's a poor quality blow-up doll.

The garbage in this apartment is really strange, Bai Xiuqi can't laugh or cry.

I don't know how long this poor-quality doll has been abandoned. The eyeballs are gone, and the leaky skin is shriveled, a bit like a mummy in a museum.

According to the "Uncanny Valley" theory, this kind of human-like objects are the most creepy.Although he knew it was just a prop, Bai Xiuqi still had goosebumps.

And at this moment, the inflatable doll suddenly moved, and then jumped into Bai Xiuqi's arms!

"...Li Kun!"

Bai Xiuqi roared.

The rich second generation who was hiding behind the closet came out with a smile.

"Hahaha, I gave you a shock! Hey, why don't you cooperate? At least make a frightened expression to satisfy me."

Bai Xiuqi rolled his eyes at him: "Do you want me to scare Xiao Niao Yiren?"

"You dare to hide, I dare to hug!" Li Kun simply opened his arms.

"Go away, don't be disgusted."

Li Kun snorted: "Am I disgusting? You don't know how many men and women are rushing to jump on my bed."

Bai Xiuqi was slightly taken aback: "Will you want to jump on your brother's bed?"

"Brother? Some people, you treat him as a brother, but he never treats you as a brother..."

Having said that, Li Kun suddenly took the initiative to take a step forward and put his hand around Bai Xiuqi's waist.

Li Kun is slightly shorter than Bai Xiuqi, and at this moment he has to raise his head slightly to look at each other.However, Bai Xiuqi clearly felt a strange pressure from Li Kun's sight.

The atmosphere became eerie.

"you……"

Bai Xiuqi wanted to remove Li Kun's hand from his waist, but found that he couldn't move him at all.Not only that, Li Kun's other hand also caught up and grabbed his arm.

What is this for? !

Bai Xiuqi felt a chill in his stomach.

Not soft but hard, he was about to break free from Li Kun's shackles, but he heard another sound of door opening from the front of the corridor, followed by familiar voices.

"...Little Boss? What are you doing here?!"

It was Jiang Chenglu, and he was indeed here.

Before Bai Xiuqi could respond, he saw Jiang Chenglu wearing a disposable plastic raincoat, holding a feather duster in one hand, a paint bucket hanging on his arm, and a large stack of newspapers in the other.This shape has to be said to be rather weird.

So he asked back: "... What are you doing?"

Aware of the stranger's appearance, Li Kun finally let go of Bai Xiuqi.Bai Xiuqi, who had regained her freedom, took two steps back and quickly got out of Li Kun's attack range.But the way was blocked by Jiang Chenglu who was coming.

The man who always had a warm smile in his memory didn't show any expression at this moment.He stared at Bai Xiuqi closely, and said in an almost dissatisfied voice: "Have you forgotten what I said? This place is very dangerous. Without my permission, no one can go upstairs, including you."

Although he knew he was in the wrong, Bai Xiuqi retorted instinctively: "Since it is so dangerous, then you should remember to close the iron gate. If you lock the gate, others will not be able to enter even if they are curious."

"..."

Jiang Chenglu was speechless for a while, and he sighed after a long time: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, next time lock the door."

His answer contained a bit of helplessness and compromise.Like a big stick, it is raised high but only falls gently.

Facing Jiang Chenglu's defense instead of offense, Bai Xiuqi's outstretched claws also scratched the air, but he didn't know what to continue to respond to.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward, but at this moment Li Kun seemed to have finally come to his senses, and he asked Jiang Chenglu, "Are you the manager of this apartment?"

"I am, are you a friend of Xiaodong's family?" Jiang Chenglu also asked Li Kun back, and at the same time took a step forward, looking at him with a smile.

"Yeah, buddy."

On the contrary, Li Kun felt uncomfortable being looked at by him, and quietly backed away a little.

Jiang Chenglu didn't speak any more, his eyes stayed on Li Kun all the time, with a half-smile full of amusement.After watching for a while, he suddenly stretched out his hand and patted Li Kun's shoulder again.

Ok?

Bai Xiuqi was slightly taken aback, not knowing what Jiang Chenglu meant.

Li Kun's face turned pale because of this slap, he twitched the corners of his mouth twice, and smirked exaggeratedly.

"...Ah, I remembered that today I have to accompany a big client to see a newly completed commercial house. I'm sorry, I have to go first."

He turned to Bai Xiuqi and put his palms together in a gesture of apology.

But Bai Xiuqi felt worried: "Akun, you're acting weird today, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay, bye."

Li Kun shook his head, waved his hand again, and went downstairs alone along the original road.

Bai Xiuqi was thinking about whether to chase after her.He heard Jiang Chenglu ask with a half-smile in his ear——

"That Li Kun, do you love him?"

"Hmm... love?!"

Bai Xiuqi was taken aback for a moment, and then retorted loudly: "What nonsense, we are just friends!"

"That's it." Jiang Chenglu nodded, "Then you'd better stay away from him during this time."

Now it was Bai Xiuqi's turn to be in a daze, and it took several seconds before he asked "why".

Jiang Chenglu didn't explain, but shook his head and said that if he believed in himself, he would temporarily not meet Li Kun for the next seven days.

Bai Xiuqi was really puzzled by Monk Zhang Er, but when he thought of Li Kun's weird behavior just now, and then connected with the eerie and strange environment here, his heart finally started to feel hairy.

He asked Jiang Chenglu: "You are dressed like this, what are you doing with the newspaper?"

"Clean up and trade in the old for the new." Jiang Chenglu shook the white paste in the paint bucket: "Use this paste to stick new newspapers to the old windows. By the way, dust off some of the dust in the room, wear The raincoat can be cleaned, is there any problem? "Yes, what's in the house, why is it tied up more tightly than downstairs. "

"Didn't I say it earlier? The things above are more harmful and more harmful."

"Give me an example." Bai Xiuqi asked, pointing to the eye still in the window paper hole: "How does it hurt people?"

"I don't know about that." Jiang Chenglu shrugged his shoulders: "Little Boss, I'm just an ordinary janitor. These things are older than me. If you ask me, I'll ask whom."

With that said, he put on the hood of the raincoat again.

Li Kun left, and Jiang Chenglu was busy cleaning the house again.Bai Xiuqi also felt bored.

He greeted Jiang Chenglu and said that he decided to arrange the studio in an empty room next to his house.Jiang Chenglu responded, he seemed to have expected it, and took the time to give Bai Xiuqi the key to that house and his mobile phone number.

Seeing Jiang Chenglu's indifferent attitude, it's meaningless to keep it.Bai Xiuqi turned to the West Building, wanting to have a word with the puppeteer Hua Yang, but found that General Tie was also guarding the door there.In addition to all kinds of displeasure, he could only go back home in dismay.

In the corridor on the fourth floor of the East Building, Jiang Chenglu watched Bai Xiuqi walk out of the gate of Xuanjing Apartment, then shook the feather duster in his hand, put on the mask hanging on the ear again, and walked into a room waiting to be cleaned.

The house was still a mess, full of dusty debris.But on the back of a wooden chair nearby, there was a colorful strange bird with strangely long tail feathers, a straight and sharp red beak, and rare blue eyes.

Jiang Chenglu was not surprised either, he swept the wooden chair with a feather duster.The bird uttered a strange cry, and quickly soared into the air, stirring up even more dust with its wings.

Jiang Chenglu was fine with a mask on, but the bird suffered from its own consequences, and actually coughed immaturely like a human teenager.

After coughing, the bird simply stopped on top of Jiang Chenglu's head and opened its mouth to spit out human language.

"Hey, what did the little boss ask you just now, why didn't you answer directly?"

Jiang Chenglu asked back carelessly: "What did the little boss ask?"

"Didn't he ask what happened to that mannequin just now?!."

Jiang Chenglu rolled his eyes, as if he just recalled it: "Then I can tell him directly that there is a thousand-year-old mummy wrapped inside this model, what if he wants me to pry it open to take a look?"

"Then you can't hide it from him for the rest of your life, right? Isn't he going to move here?"

"Whether it can be moved here is still unknown."

Jiang Chenglu waved the feather duster and continued to clean: "He will come here himself one night, if he is not frightened, it will not be too late to welcome him in."

--------------------------------

After returning home that day, Bai Xiuqi received another call from Li Kun.

The rich second generation who left in a hurry in the morning expressed his apology on the phone, and promised that if necessary, he could arrange professional designers and decoration workers to accompany him to Xuanjing Apartment tomorrow.

Bai Xiuqi remembered Jiang Chenglu's reminder, so he found an excuse and told him not to worry about it for now, and we'll talk about the renovation after a while.

On the other hand, Bai Xiuqi really doesn't want to continue the studio's renovation plan.

I don't know why, Jiang Chenglu's indifferent reaction today always makes him feel a little annoyed—although he also understands that for two people who have only met for two days and spent only a few hours together, it is a "nod" It is no exaggeration to say that Jiang Chenglu's reaction was the most normal.

But from Bai Xiuqi's point of view, two consecutive nights of inexplicable dreams had subtly reserved a special place for Jiang Chenglu in his heart.

"I already regard you as a special person, but in your eyes I am just a nodding acquaintance" - this is the real reason for Bai Xiuqi's displeasure.
