Chapter 4 Is the 8th floor tall?
Cai Gen put on a down jacket, manually closed the takeaway software, carried the takeaway bag, and took the battery car key.
Walked to the glass door of the restaurant, hesitated, he began to hesitate.
Through the glass door, the entrance of the store is bright, but the edge of the light is like the dividing line between two worlds.
On one side is the visible light, on the other side is the unknown darkness, and to open this door is to move from light to darkness.
After what happened just now, Cai Gen was a little messy.
I don't want to go, but the customer will definitely give a bad review.
Also, the meal has been prepared, and if it is not delivered, it will be lost, which will undoubtedly make matters worse for this dismal small shop.
If you go, the night outside is as dark as ink, and you can't see the darkness of your fingers.
Why didn't I think it was so dark at night, and I panicked.
Cai Gen stared at the darkness outside the door, and there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes in the darkness.
is staring at himself, like the blood-red eyes of the old man who sold bean buns just now, there are complaints, greed, anger, and sadness.
"Your users are starting to urge, your users are starting to be urging, your users are starting to be urging orders."
The prompt sound like a life rush hit Cai Gen's nervous nerves one by one.
lit a cigarette, took out his mobile phone, and didn't dare to call his wife for fear of waking up his son.
clicked on WeChat, found his wife, and held down the microphone.
"Wife, after so many years, you have worked hard, I love you."
Put away the phone, take a puff of cigarette, open the glass door vigorously, and walk out, resolutely out.
In the Northeast, in the second half of the winter, the temperature was very low, and a burst of coldness hit his face, which calmed Cai Gen's flustered mood a little.
Locked the door with his backhand, quickly came to the front of the battery car, and inserted it twice before inserting the key of the battery car and turning on the lights.
Due to aging, the lights are very dim, and they can only illuminate one meter in front of the car.
From the door of the store to the entrance of the community, there is only a distance of more than 30 meters, out of the community, to the road, where there are bright street lights, there are cars that drive from time to time.
Cai Gen put away the takeaway bag, rode on the battery car, plucked up his courage, twisted the handle of the battery car with all his strength, and rushed into the darkness in front of him.
More than 30 meters of darkness is not completely dark, and the dim headlights are trying to glow yellow.
However, Cai Gen looked at the headlights in front of him, as if he was getting farther and farther away from him.
It doesn't seem like I've ridden a distance of 30 meters, it's 300 meters, 3,000 meters, 30,000 meters, and it seems like I'm going to ride forever.
Just when I was about to lose the headlights, a light appeared in front of me, and I finally left the community.
Cai Gen was relieved, rode the car onto the road, and rushed towards the Red Romance Hotel.
The entrance of the store.
Shortly after Cai Gen left.
Two half-figures appeared.
Standing in the bright light, his face was also blurred.
One stood upright, dressed in a suit, holding a child in his hand.
"Is he scared?"
The man in the suit, with a sharp voice, spoke first.
"Back to my lord, he was scared, very scared."
The man in the black cotton jacket, when he replied, bent his body lower, and it turned out to be the voice of an old man selling bean bags.
"Did he hear you?"
"Listen, I've told you all the bad things about all these years."
"Does he sympathize with you?"
"It doesn't seem like it, but he took me to a place that was terrifying, it was the experience of a person who died, it seemed like a long time had passed in the blink of an eye."
The man in the suit, as if very surprised, his sharp voice was even sharper, very harsh, as if scratching the glass with his claws,
"What? How did he do it? ”
The old man selling bean buns heard the other party's tone of urgency, and his rickety body knelt on the ground, and quickly said,
"He just grabbed my wrist and took me away at once, and then brought it back again, I don't understand what's going on."
Due to his limited ability to express himself, the old man tried his best to portray that feeling.
Maybe I still didn't understand, and the person in the suit began to get impatient,
"Alright, let's go."
"My lord, what about the following?"
"Got it, get out of here."
The old man selling bean bags stood up and was about to disappear in place, when the man in the suit quickly stretched out his hand and grabbed the black shadow of the old man selling bean bags.
Stuffed in his mouth, he swallowed it without chewing at all.
The shrill voice of the man in the suit sounded again, muttering quietly, a little ethereal,
"Originally, I was a little bit of cause and effect, thinking that there was a surprise, hey, this, old waste."
The child who was being pulled, his tone was extremely resentful, and he looked up and said,
"Thank you, why are you torturing me? Can't you just let me die in peace? ”
The man in the suit seemed to be uneasy, and when he heard the child's words, he seemed to have heard it many times, and he had long been used to it, so he said as gently as possible,
"Xiao Qi, it's all for your own good, the last few times I failed, this time I finally raised this meat substitute with benevolence, as soon as he dies, you will never have to suffer."
Xiao Qi tried his best to break free of Xie An's hand, but after all, he didn't succeed, and said with a complaint,
"Don't pretend, Xie is uneasy, won't it be over if you kill him directly? As for the effort? ”
Not wanting to explain too much, Xie Buyi pulled Xiao Qi, and the figure slowly retreated into darkness from the light of the store door, and the voice continued to come, but it was getting lower and lower,
"That's not good, absolutely not, but this time, it's not without gain, at least he's not an ordinary person."
The shadow completely disappeared into the darkness, and the sound disappeared.
Only the light in front of the store, shining quietly, in the dark night, so obvious, so desirable.
**********************************************
After 11 p.m., the red lights at traffic posts will turn yellow and flash.
Remind people who walk at night to stay safe.
But without the red light, the empty road is even more dangerous.
Cai Gen's battery car did not stop at any traffic post, and it only took 15 minutes to arrive at the Red Romance Hotel at the other end of the city.
Get out of the car, grab the takeaway bag, don't care about locking the car, and walk towards the hotel lobby.
The young lady at the service desk had fallen asleep on a chair, and the security guard was also asleep on the sofa in the lobby.
Even the lights in the hotel lobby are not fully turned on, only a few spotlights, in the empty lobby, shining with a few big characters in blood red, red romantic hotel.
Cai Gen has been to this hotel, in order to show that there are many rooms and auspicious, 8804 is the 8th floor.
Walking quickly to the elevator, fortunately, the elevator stopped on the 1st floor, pressed the button, and the elevator door opened.
Cai Gen walked in eagerly, pressed the button with the figure 8 hard, and the elevator door closed.
The closed elevator door reflected Cai Gen's anxious face, and because of the echo with the opposite mirror, the thousands of shrinking figures that appeared, and finally they were too small to be seen.
After waiting for a few seconds, the elevator did not move, Cai Gen pressed it several times in a row, but the elevator still did not move, and the button with the figure 8 did not turn on with the press.
The customer has already urged the order, why can't this elevator be pressed? Cai Gen was even more anxious, suddenly looked up, and saw the instructions to swipe the card.
When was this pressed? I didn't have it last time, and I didn't let you take the elevator without a room card?
It seems that the Red Romance Hotel has also begun to follow the pace of the express hotel chain, but it has increased a lot of difficulty for Cai Gen's food delivery.
Hurriedly opened the elevator and walked to the security guard who was sleeping on the sofa.
