69. Lifts

"Greetings to the distinguished guests!" is a sincere and cordial greeting in standard imperial Chinese. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Kasia nodded, leaning to the side of the lift, making room for the guy's luggage. The young man had a smile on his face, and the protective iron door of the elevator was quietly closed at this time.

The elevator began to rise slowly, and Kasia could clearly feel the acceleration changing rapidly. The two men in the elevator stood straight, facing the unstained iron door, forged from stainless steel, like a polished mirror, and incorporated Kasia and the lean waitress into its world.

Kasia watched the scene inside, and the luggage carried by the waiter boy naturally came into his eyes.

What can be the difference between luggage? Most of them are different packaging and styles made of the same material, and everything is hidden inside, and it is impossible to see a little bit of information in it. Kasia's gaze wandered aimlessly over the stainless steel face that served as a mirror in front of him, and then a corner of a rather large suitcase entered his pupils.

"It's a familiar pattern and material. He had a very familiar feeling in his heart, as if he had just seen it somewhere. Then I thought about it carefully, and my whole body didn't feel a sudden shock.

He controlled his body that was almost out of control, and the corner of his eyes naturally looked at the waiter guy next to him, his eyes were like a sophisticated camera, and all the scenes that he glanced at in the corner of his eyes were stored in his mind very clearly. Then Kasia began to replay the scene as if she were looking at a photograph.

This is an ordinary waiter guy, dressed in a decent white dress, with a gray striped bow tie, black pants, and standard pure black leather shoes, which are polished very brightly, and must have been oiled with a lot of bright oil. He stood straight, his steps slightly diverged, his face looking straight at the stainless steel door in front of him, his eyes were a mixture of black and pale gold, very bright, and his expression was unusually determined. His hands were crossed under his stomach, and he wore snow-white gloves, the kind of gloves that were just right, almost perfectly enveloping all of his slender fingers, almost outlining most of his hands. The material of the gloves is also the most common fabric on the market, as if nothing is out of the ordinary.

But those gloves fit too well. In Kasia's eyes, the gloves seemed to be made for the crossed hands, just like the relationship between the sky and the white clouds, the blend of steam and water, everything seemed very natural. But it was this nature that made Kasia feel a sense of danger in her heart.

Kasia's wandering eyes glanced again at the corner of the suitcase reflected in front of her. That's right, he felt unusually familiar, because the box was exactly the same as the one he was carrying in his hand now!

In just a few seconds, the elevator was still rising at a constant speed, and in another three or four seconds, the elevator should have reached the seventh floor. Kasia mentally began to count the time, and then observed the small space in the elevator, and every detail of the luggage on the trailer beside him.

There was not much noise around, and the designers considered the noise reduction of the lift. It's normal to be silent in a world where there is no sound. But the strange atmosphere in the elevator space made this silence change its taste. Like the night rain that falls on the surface of the vast sea in the dark night, it is silent, and no one knows it, no one sees it, and maybe even the fish under the surface of the water are not aware of it. The silence was like the rain, like the frozen ice, and it was frighteningly cold.

Every second of time was divided into countless parts at this time, and each one went unusually long. Air also has life at this time, and life is born with its own weight.

The air inside the elevator silently pressed down on the two people standing inside. But both of them stood straight at this time, and the spine in their bodies became a pillar forged of the ultimate steel, and there was not the slightest bend because of the weight. Their expressions were still normal, and under Kasia's usual appearance, they were usually waiting for the elevator to reach the floor they needed, a trace of impatience, a trace of silence. The waiter guy has always maintained a transactional smile on his face, the muscles on his face have not tightened in the slightest because of such a smile, his eyes are looking straight ahead, his clothes are meticulous, and he is still a normal calm waiting for the elevator to arrive.

The small space is very harmonious, and it will definitely become a quiet painting, just like a large sunflower field reflecting the fine sunlight under the afternoon sun, quiet, soft, warm, and a faint wind with a fresh fragrance.

But the weather is changing abruptly at this time, and the sunflower fields are on the edge of the sea, where there is a warm climate, but there are also sudden storms.

On the pale blue background canvas, white clouds suddenly began to gather together, more and more, thicker and thicker. The white clouds began to be rendered by the brush, turning into a dull leaden gray, and below it, a blue-black sea that was about to set off the wind and waves, they were as calm as they were!

Time began to pass faster, but it was still extremely slow in the keen senses of the two men.

On the stainless steel door, there is a gear-driven counter that looks like a large wall clock. Countless gears snapped together and moved forward. As one of the most critical of them rolls over a circle, the speed of the elevator will decrease and the acceleration will change from fast to slow, and the number "six" displayed in the center of the door will become "seven" in the crisp sound of a wind chime.

Then at this moment, the elevator completely stopped on the seventh floor, and was firmly suspended in the air by a steel cable in the elevator shaft.

In a second, or a second and a half minutes, the stainless steel door will slowly open with the help of gears and steam, and there will be a soft red carpet of the seventh floor corridor in front of you, which looks like stepping on a corpse, with golden patterns on it. Maybe there are even distances on the side of the corridor, and there will be pots of flowers that are blooming and flourishing.

Everything that Kasia had simulated in his mind began to play out two seconds later, first slowing down, then the sound of wind chimes, and then the elevator doors opening.

But the script, which should have followed step by step, changed slightly at this time.

In the short time when the elevator door opened, a line that the waiter's brother was not too long should have been inserted.

Of course it's not "Hello, dear guest, what do I need to do", it's a bit too old and formatted.

The line was like this, and he was said by the waiter brother in standard imperial Chinese.

"Dear guests, have you had a good trip! I don't know how you feel about our boxes!"
