Chapter 211: Snake? No, it’s... Dragon?

After a lot of hard work, the few people finally arrived in Mingdu and chose to stay in a hotel temporarily.

The price of this hotel is not cheap, although it is just an ordinary hotel, but don’t forget, this is Mingdu!
As the saying goes, scarcity makes things valuable. The value of a hotel will vary depending on its location.

It must be mentioned that as a prosperous city, Mingdu’s price level is indeed relatively high.

After all, the city has a huge financial situation and extremely high consumption levels, and the two interact to drive up the prices of all kinds of goods and services.

However, there is one more thing that must be said.

That is, the public security situation in Mingdu is simply amazing!
Although the evil force of evil soul masters does exist, and has been rampant in recent times.

But they will be quickly eliminated before they have time to cause any trouble.

However, as the old saying goes: "What goes around comes around."

After nightfall, things may not be as good as they seem.

After saying hello to the others, Gu Chen left the hotel alone.

Gu Chen strolled leisurely on the prosperous and brightly lit streets of Mingdu.

The bluestone pavement beneath your feet has been polished by time to be as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the warm yellow light from the roadside shops.

He slowly stopped and stood quietly on the street, staring at the endless stream of vehicles and flashing neon lights in front of him with a slightly dull look.

At this time, the streets were like a flowing river of light, with thousands of cars speeding past, bringing up gusts of wind.

Their headlights are like stars, shining together and making the whole city look like a dream.

Yet, although there were thousands of bright lights shining all around him, not a single one was lit specifically for him.

From time to time, I could hear the sharp and deafening sound of vehicles honking one after another.

The sound echoed in the empty streets, as if it was about to break through the sky.

The originally extremely wide street should be bustling with people at this moment, but for some reason, Gu Chen felt an indescribable sense of emptiness in his heart.

He silently watched the passers-by coming and going. Some of them were in a hurry, while others were chatting and laughing. Everyone seemed to have a clear destination and direction.

But Gu Chen felt like a lonely ghost lost in this hustle and bustle, so out of tune with this world.

Even though the streets were crowded with people, he still felt lonely and helpless.

Gu Chen couldn't help but start to daydream, was there someone who was always by his side before he lost his memory?

That person may have walked side by side with him on this bustling street and shared the joys and sorrows of life.

Maybe on a quiet night, I lit a warm heart lamp for him...

Thinking of this, the feeling of loneliness became stronger and stronger, surging into his heart like a tide, gradually filling his heart with a faint irritation.

But what is surprising is that Gu Chen's face always remains extremely calm, like a bottomless lake, without any ripples.

It's as if he's long been accustomed to this inner restlessness, or perhaps he's skilled at masking his true emotions with a cold exterior. (He's practically insane, he just hasn't recovered his memory. [Image: Suppressing laughter])
Gu Chen stood there, opened his mouth involuntarily and sighed softly.

The breath seemed to carry a heavy burden deep in his heart and slowly came out of his mouth.

He tried hard to suppress the thoughts that were surging in his mind like the tide, but those thoughts were like stubborn weeds that could not be eradicated no matter what he did.

Finally, he decided to put aside these chaotic thoughts for the time being and slowly turned his gaze to the brightly lit restaurant on the roadside. Through the window, he could see the bustling scene inside the restaurant, where people sat around the tables, enjoying the happiness brought by delicious food.

Gu Chen thought, perhaps only food could make him forget his troubles temporarily at this moment.

So he took firm steps and walked towards the hotel step by step.

With every step he took, he seemed to feel that he was getting a little more distance from those disturbing thoughts.

After entering the restaurant, he found a quiet corner to sit down and ordered a simple but hearty meal.

"Eat," he said silently to himself. "Fill your stomach, and maybe you won't think about it anymore. If you still can't help thinking about it, just eat more."

However, whenever those fragments of memory inadvertently flashed through his mind, he would still feel an inexplicable irritation and a splitting headache.

It felt as if an invisible force was preventing him from delving deeper into his past.

The night time always seems so short. When you wake up from a good sleep, everything will be over.

But instead of thinking hard in this short dark night, it is better to seize the time to do something you really want to do.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen quickened his eating pace.

"Bang!" A crisp and loud noise instantly broke the original quiet atmosphere of the hotel.

The sudden sound of glass breaking was like a thunder, cutting through the air and going straight into people's ears.

Customers who were concentrating on eating or chatting stopped what they were doing, but after just a brief pause, they returned to normal, as if such things were already commonplace.

However, Gu Chen, who was sitting in the corner, was different. His eyes turned suddenly towards the direction where the sound came from, as if attracted by a magnet.

I saw that the table near the dining table, which was supposed to be filled with delicious food, was now a mess, replaced by a pile of messy wine bottles.

The bottles varied in height, weight, and shape, and the labels on them revealed that the alcohol content was not ordinary.

In the middle of this sea of wine bottles, a girl in a black dress is particularly eye-catching.

Large areas of her snow-white skin were exposed, sparkling with an enchanting luster like mutton-fat jade under the light.

At this moment, the girl was lying weakly on the table, her body trembling slightly, like a flower swaying in the wind, looking so weak and helpless.

Gu Chen didn't care about her appearance or anything like that, he just looked at the girl in the black dress.

He feels...

this person.

It looks so familiar.

It's like we've known each other for a long time.

Gu Chen trembled his lips as if he wanted to say something.

But at this moment he found that he couldn't say a word.
