MTL - The Heartthrob Protagonist Just Wants To Monopolize Me-Chapter 30
Ji Mingxia hid in a corner behind the pavilion. He closed his eyes, covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and kept his breathing lightest.
The cold wind blowing by the lakeside at night made Ji Mingxia's entire lower back feel cold.
The surroundings were quiet, without any sound, as if he was the only one left in the world.
Time passed bit by bit, and I don't know how long it took. Suddenly, at a certain moment, Ji Mingxia suddenly realized that the wind had stopped.
It disappeared completely without knowing it.
Ji Mingxia opened his eyes and looked around.
It's still on the lake, the pavilion is still the pavilion, and the corridor is still the same corridor, but for some reason, there is no longer that horrible and gloomy feeling.
At this moment, a footstep sounded from far to near.
Ji Mingxia's heart tensed, and she didn't have time to see who was coming. In the next instant, a red light appeared in Ji Mingxia's jacket pocket for some reason.
Ji Mingxia was startled, and quickly blocked the glowing place with her hands.
The more Ji Mingxia looked at it, the more familiar the red light became. Before he could recall it, the red light drifted to the side.
A man was standing there before he knew it, and the red light fell on his hand, filling the gap in the inner ring of the ring on his hand, and the whole ring was finally restored.
With the help of the red light and moonlight, Ji Mingxia could see the other's face clearly.
"Yuning!" The moment he saw Yu Ning, Ji Mingxia's heart was relieved, and he almost couldn't help calling his name.
The surroundings were calm, and Yu Ning had a ring in his hand. Intuition told Ji Mingxia that this Yu Ning was real.
He almost couldn't wait to stand up and ran in front of Yu Ning.
In the end, I was too anxious to run, not paying attention to the steps of the pavilion, and almost stumbled in front of Yu Ning.
The ring on Yu Ning's hand was still glowing. Seeing that Ji Mingxia almost fell, he quickly stretched out his hand to support it.
Ji Mingxia was caught by him and buried his face on Yu Ning's chest.
Although it was a little embarrassing, this physical contact made Ji Mingxia more sure that this was the real Yu Ning.
He held Yu Ning's arm, and after standing up, he wanted to ask what Yu Ning had just experienced, but when he raised his head and saw Yu Ning's face up close, Ji Mingxia Startled.
"Mingxia? Are you alright?" Yu Ning supported Ji Mingxia and asked with concern when he saw that he was dumbfounded.
"Ah? I'm fine." Ji Mingxia said, looking at Yu Ning's face uncertainly, "Yu Ning, your eyes..."
Yu Ning's eyes were originally gray and black, but at this time I don't know if it was Ji Mingxia's illusion. He looked left and right, and both Yu Ning's eyes turned into grey?
Yuning's gray eye has a very light pupil color. One gray eye looks quite scary. Both of these eyes are gray. At first glance, they seem to have no eyes. Like Tong, there is only a faint gray light between the eyes, and with Yu Ning's delicate face, it looks very intimidating at night.
Thanks to Ji Mingxia already familiar with Yu Ning, if he saw Yu Ning like this when he first wore it, he would have weak legs on the spot, so he avoided it and dared not One more look.
Yu Ning's expression paused for a while, he closed his eyes, opened them after a while, Yu Ning looked at Ji Mingxia and said, "Is that so."
"It's the same as before." Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning's eyes restored to the past, and said in surprise, "Your eyes will change color?"
Yu Ning looked at the ring in his hand: "It should be caused by using it."
Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning's face and at the ring again, puzzled.
In the original work, it was said that Yu Ning's physique was very special, but because he had not captured mysterious items, he did not unlock any special functions at all.
In the original book, every time the protagonist Gong Peiyuan dealt with mysterious objects, he would be miserable, either losing his strength or getting injured, Ji Mingxia hurriedly asked: "Yu Ning, how are you feeling now? Are you uncomfortable?"
Yu Ning shook his head.
Ji Mingxia saw that his whole body was intact, except that his face was always pale, it really did not look like he had been abused by ghosts, he thought about it, and said: "Then, can both eyes become black?"
"It doesn't seem possible." Yu Ning said.
Ji Mingxia heard the words and was deeply afraid that Yu Ning would be sad, so he quickly comforted: "It's okay, after we go back, we will buy a box of beauty contact lenses, red, yellow and green, and match them according to your mood. Buy any color you want.”
Hearing this, Yu Ning smiled lightly.
When he was little, he was very concerned about all the suffering that these eyes brought him.
But as he gradually grew up, he had already seen it.
I didn't know there was such a thing as beauty contact lenses when I was a child, and I didn't have the conditions to buy them. When I grew up, I saved some urgent needs, and I could still afford them.
But for him, it was completely unnecessary.
Everyone is afraid of him, fears him, hates him, the origin is these eyes, but not entirely because of the eyes, but also because of the various rumors wrapped around him.
And these rumors are not all false, after all, he can really see those things that ordinary people can't see.
He was born like this, the people he cared about would not be close to him, and the people he didn't care about, so far, only Ji Mingxia.
"Let's go back first." Yu Ning said to Ji Mingxia.
"That ghost..." Ji Mingxia pointed to the box not far away.
Yu Ning took out the bronze mirror like an ornament, handed it to Ji Mingxia, and said, "It won't appear again."
The changes have just happened around, and Ji Mingxia already has a hunch in his heart that Yu Ning, the protagonist who is hanging up, must have solved the culprit behind the scenes, and they have once again returned to safety.
What Ji Mingxia didn't expect was that Yu Ning actually got another mysterious item.
And this mysterious item is not the ring in Li You's hand, but a brand new mysterious item that looks like a scaled-down bronze mirror? !
"This is a new mysterious item... You actually got another mysterious item?!" Ji Mingxia said in shock, "Isn't Li You playing a trick?"
"No, Li You is not in the hotel at all." Yu Ning said.
Ji Mingxia was startled when he heard the words, and his brain was completely confused.
Li You clearly stated on Weibo that she was resting in Quanzhuang Resort.
The first night they came to the hotel, when they first encountered a mysterious incident, Zhao Zhuoyue also saw a ghost like Li You with his own eyes.
As a result, now Yu Ning told him that Li You was not in the hotel at all?
"All this...what is going on?" Ji Mingxia said in shock.
Yu Ning was still holding Ji Mingxia's wrist. Ji Mingxia hid in the pavilion and blew the cold wind for a long time. His body temperature now is almost the same as that of Yu Ning.
Yu Ning said: "It's windy here, let's go back and talk slowly."
"Oh, good." Ji Mingxia's mind was full of all kinds of clues. After hearing what Yu Ning said, he nodded stunned, followed Yu Ning away from the lake and walked towards the room.
As soon as she returned to the double room, Yu Ning made Ji Mingxia hot tea, and then put the ring in her hand and the newly obtained bronze mirror on the coffee table.
The warm yellow light in the bedroom is very warm, as if all the strange events that happened tonight were a dream.
However, the two mysterious objects on the coffee table reminded Ji Mingxia that everything is true.
Though these two mysterious objects are very small, they shine under the light, and they are as exquisite as life, and they are not ordinary things at first glance.
Ji Mingxia always felt that this bronze mirror looked a little familiar, but he couldn't remember for a while, where did this familiar feeling come from.
It has been less than a month since he wore it.
In such a short time, he and Yu Ning got two mysterious items?
This rhythm, will it be too fast.
The protagonist's attack on Pei Yuan is probably not as efficient.
Ji Mingxia looked at the mysterious item with mixed feelings.
But now he is more curious as to what all this is about.
Yu Ning saw that Ji Mingxia's complexion returned to rosy after drinking a cup of hot tea, and then he began to speak slowly.
On the first day of staying at the hotel, they encountered a supernatural event. Both Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia reflexively believed that it was all related to Li You.
After all, Li You Weibo posted the real-time location, and Zhao Zhuoyue also encountered danger after seeing "Li You" with his own eyes.
It wasn't until the next day that everyone lost their memory, and Yu Ning himself also encountered a faceless person, and he began to have doubts.
"Whether it is the way the ghost appears, the duration and coverage of the attack, and even the means of manifesting the ghost, it's all completely different from the first ring. So I tried to contact the hotel, and the hotel was in charge The performance of the person also confirmed my conjecture." Yu Ning said.
When Ji Mingxia heard the words, he recalled all the details seriously.
After the faceless man in the SPA disappeared, Yu Ning immediately took him to investigate the monitoring of the hotel. Ji Mingxia had doubts at that time, but Yu Ning quickly explained.
If he remembered correctly, after returning from the SPA hall, all the doubts have been summarized.
First of all, they confirmed that Zhao Zhuoyue and others belong to the safe range, and only those who have amnesia will not be targeted by ghosts;
Second, ghosts are very powerful, and their attack frequency is faster than ever. In order to protect themselves, they must act as soon as possible.
So in the evening, the two of them took the initiative to venture to the restaurant on the lake.
In Ji Mingxia's view, it was just a brief confrontation with the person in charge of the hotel. It was not easy to extract these two important clues.
As a result, now Yu Ning told him that there was more known information, which was confirmed one by one in Yu Ning's heart.
Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning in shock, her mind filled with question marks.
The two of them were sticking together the whole time. He had experienced everything that Yu Ning had experienced. Why did he feel like he had lost his memory and couldn't find any clues? !
Although it has long been known that there is a difference between a scholar and a mortal, this difference... is too big!
"Apart from the two points we discussed...Is there any clues I haven't noticed?" Ji Mingxia said blankly.
In his opinion, the whole thing is very clear and simple, and where there are small details that he ignores, he can't think of it if he wants to break his head.
Seeing Ji Mingxia's contemplative appearance, Yu Ning explained, "First of all, the different attack methods of ghosts led me to conjecture the second mysterious item."
Ji Mingxia nodded seriously.
Yu Ning said: "We skipped the SPA pavilion and went directly to the hotel to check the monitoring, in order to prove whether the people with amnesia are purely tourists or cover everyone, this is what we do not motives for reasonable behavior."
Up to this point, everything is still within Ji Mingxia's understanding.
He was like a student who listened carefully to the class, and nodded again to show his understanding.
Yu Ning said: "Then, our behavior is obviously unreasonable, why should the hotel cooperate with us?"
"Huh?" Ji Mingxia didn't expect Yu Ning to ask this question, he was stunned for a moment, and then he got stuck in an instant.
This kind of reverse thinking, he never thought about it at all.
Ji Mingxia said: "Perhaps for the sake of the hotel's reputation? After all, I almost drowned the day before, and the next day..."
Yu Ning said to Ji Mingxia: "Mingxia, you have fallen into a misunderstanding of thinking. The whole hotel has lost their memories. Only the two of us have memories."
Ji Mingxia heard the words and looked at Yu Ning blankly. After a few seconds, he suddenly realized that he almost jumped from the ground.
Tong Jing is the person in charge of the hotel and can mobilize all the staff of the hotel.
The reason why they were able to see Tong Jing was because on the first night, both Ji Mingxia and Zhao Zhuozhuo fell into the water and almost lost their lives.
In any hotel, when it comes to the safety of customers, it is considered a major accident. In serious cases, it can even be on the social news page.
This kind of incident must be resolved by the person in charge of the highest standard.
However, there was no accident in the SPA hall on the second day, and even to outsiders, it was just the nonsense of Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning.
In this case, the person in charge at the level of Tong Jing not only appeared, but even cooperated very well...
Yu Ning said she suspected that the SPA hall was not clean, so Tong Jing personally took people to the SPA hall and went to great lengths to check.
After finding out that there was no accident, not only did they not blame Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning, but they even gave gifts to them...
Ji Mingxia still retains the memory of the previous day, and does not think Tong Jing's behavior is abnormal.
But once you jump out of the misunderstanding of thinking and think carefully, it is simply unreasonable.
The two of them are just ordinary travelers. How can the hotel cooperate with them.
Yu Ning woke up the dreamer with just one sentence. After Ji Mingxia wanted to understand this, his mind was full of nothing but "fuck".
Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning and said, "So, since then, you began to doubt Tong Jing?"
Yu Ning nodded: "Well, after checking the bill, I'm basically 100% sure it's her."
"Check the bill?" Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning suspiciously.
Several seconds later, Ji Mingxia suddenly remembered that in the reception room, while waiting for the surveillance video to be sent, Yu Ning rejected Tong Jing's kindness and asked if they would How much will be refunded if you leave.
Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning in shock: "I thought you were calculating the room fee to help Zhao Zhuoyue and the others figure out how much they could get after checking out."
Yu Ning said: "They are safe and don't need to check out. It's us who should check out."
Ji Mingxia said: "But we are here for the ring, and we can't leave..."
After discussing this, Ji Mingxia discovered that Yu Ning's behavior of calculating the room fee was reasonable at first glance, but in fact, it was illogical.
But also because of misunderstandings, other than Yu Ning himself, no one else would suspect anything wrong with his behavior.
After all, I just expressed my dissatisfaction with the hotel, and it is normal to check the bill.
Ji Mingxia said, "So, why do you calculate the room fee?"
Yu Ning said: "Do you remember, after you and Zhao Zhuoyue fell into the water, Tong Jing apologized, representing the hotel's promise the day before to upgrade all of us to lifetime VIP members. "
Ji Mingxia thought about it, and it seemed that there was such a thing.
But at that time, all his attention was on supernatural events, and he didn't pay attention to this kind of compensation at all.
Thanks to what happened just two days ago, Yu Ning reminded that Ji Mingxia barely remembered it, otherwise it would take a little longer and Ji Mingxia would have forgotten this detail.
Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia pondered: "The hotel promised us a lifetime VIP member, but the next day we lost our memory collectively, you want to check the room fee, the VIP member promised the day before, the first Are you still there for two days?"
Yu Ning nodded: "VIP member information is registered in the data information database, the unique energy of mysterious items can make people lose their memory, I want to see if I can change the software Amnesia."
Ji Mingxia did not expect that Yu Ning had even considered this detail.
This is simply the power of mystery against the power of science.
Ji Mingxia didn't know what to say anymore, he thought it was just an ordinary monitoring behavior, where did he think that Yu Ning had no deep meaning.
This quiet one-shot N eagle, let alone Tong Jing, Ji Mingxia, as a teammate, must be resigned.
Ji Mingxia almost forgot about VIP membership and room billing, let alone the details.
He looked at Yu Ning impatiently and asked, "Then what conclusion did you come to?"
Yu Ning said: "According to the room rate calculation results, Zhao Zhuozhuo and the others are still ordinary users in the hotel information database, and only the two of us are VIP members."
"Only the two of us? Didn't they upgrade Zhao Zhuoyue?" Ji Mingxia was surprised, and then suddenly remembered something, "Hey, I remembered, the reason why we have VIPs is because On the day we checked into the hotel, there was no double room at first, but the hotel temporarily agreed to change rooms and upgraded us to VIP membership along the way.”
Yu Ning said: "Yeah, I agreed temporarily, and only gave us two upgrades. When Zhao Zhuoyue encountered the ghost, the ghost didn't take the initiative to attack, but when it was our turn, he killed him. ."
The scenes that happened in the past two days flashed back in my mind, and a chill gradually climbed up Ji Mingxia's back.
Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning: "What do you mean, Zhao Zhuoyue's accident was an accident, Ghost Shadow itself didn't want to deal with him, its target is only the two of us? At the moment we first entered the hotel ...has been targeted?"
Yu Ning nodded.
At this point, Ji Mingxia finally understood what was going on.
Mysterious items can devour each other.
Tong Jing's prey at the beginning should be Li You.
I don't know why, Li You is not in the hotel at the moment, but it doesn't matter, Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning will soon come to the door.
Anyway, they are all rings, whichever one they eat is the same, Tong Jing naturally refuses to come.
No wonder they didn't have a room at first, and then suddenly they were upgraded. Ji Mingxia thought he was taking advantage of money, but it turned out that the other party had been eyeing them for a long time.
Giving vip this kind of benefit is a compensation act in order to maintain the reputation of the hotel.
Provide benefits in advance to facilitate various operations in the future, which not only stabilizes the reputation of the hotel, but also quietly eats the prey.
I have to say, this Tong Jing is quite attentive, and her technique is very sophisticated. If it wasn't for Yu Ning, Ji Mingxia would not have known it before she died, and she would have been sold like this.
Then, a new question comes, Tong Jing is so powerful, how did Yu Ning do it, not only beat her down, but also conquered the bronze mirror?
The last time the two cooperated, although Ji Mingxia didn't play a role, but they always participated in the whole process.
This time, because of the illusion, the two separated, Ji Mingxia was running away the whole time, but in a short time, Yu Ning's side was finished.
Faced with Ji Mingxia's question, Yu Ning explained: "Do you still remember what the driver you met told you before we came to Quanzhuang Resort?"
"Master driver? You mean... a ghost hit the wall?" Ji Mingxia said while thinking.
Yu Ningdao: "For long-distance drivers, fatigue driving is most likely to occur at night. When people are tired, they will have various hallucinations. During the driving process, the most worrying situation is a It hits something that shouldn't be hit, and the second is to go the wrong way, which is commonly known as the ghost hitting the wall."
Ji Mingxia entered the lecture mode again, looked at Yu Ning curiously and said, "This only means that there is a supernatural event near the hotel, is it related to the ring and bronze mirror?"
Yu Ning patiently said: "Ghost hitting the wall happened a few years ago. At that time, Li You and Lin Siyun were just ordinary students, and they didn't get a ring at all."
Ji Mingxia was reminded by Yu Ning that he realized that although these two things seem to be the same thing, they are staggered in time.
In this way, not only can we determine what happened in the hotel, which is likely to have nothing to do with the ring, but also through this incident, we can infer the general function of another mysterious item.
Yuning revealed so much information that Ji Mingxia's brain was finally able to turn.
He immediately came to the spirit and guessed: "If the function of another mysterious item is related to the ghost hitting the wall, and the ghost hitting the wall is related to the illusion, then combined with Zhao Zhuoyue and you encounter You can basically guess the way this mysterious item behaves and what its specific abilities are."
"That's right." Yu Ning said, "What it does best is to create illusions and defeat people's hearts with fear."
Tong Jing's means of dealing with them can be reversed. Tong Jing is careful and cautious by nature. From a certain point of view, she even cherishes her old nest and maintains the environment and the environment of this resort very carefully. external reputation.
The bottom line is to create a safe environment, so that she can lie in her old nest and have a steady stream of food delivered to her door for her to eat.
And this style of behavior has been carried out from the ghost to the well-known Quanzhuang Resort.
After all, the long-distance delivery driver is driving, and if he encounters a ghost, he may be killed on the spot.
A lot of people died in this section of the road, and the government will definitely order the road closure.
Only ghosts beat the wall, although scary, but it will not attract large-scale attention, in line with Tong Jing's eating style.
So, since the establishment of Quanzhuang Resort, the ghost hitting the wall disappeared without a trace.
The supernatural events encountered by Ji Mingxia and others after staying at Quanzhuang Resort can indeed be explained by illusion and fear.
Ji Mingxia said: "So... the ghosts in Quanzhuang Resort are refracted according to people's inner fears.
"The reason why Zhao Zhuozhuo saw Li You's ghost is because he was thinking about it and wanted to help me find Li You;
"The reason why I saw Lin Siyun's ghost is because deep down in my heart, what I am most afraid of is her... Illusions concretize fear according to our hearts.
"Once you are defeated by your inner fear, you will become Tong Jing's prey and fall into the trap of amnesia?"
When Ji Mingxia said this, he suddenly remembered something.
According to this inference, the faceless man without a face in the SPA hall is the embodiment of Yu Ning's inner fear.
