Odd Containment Specialist
#791 - Paper Bag Girl
The day Su Yue returned to Jiangbo City, she slept for a whole day in a hotel near the airport.
When she woke up the next day, she immediately went downstairs to take pictures near the airport, because today was the day she claimed to be going to Kyoto, and this was also the last step in her preparations.
After finishing, Su Yue returned to the hotel and took out the most important props from the suitcase: the necklace ten years later, clothes that would fit her size ten years later, and the hotel registration card given by Lin Zhongma.
The character Su Yue designed for herself was a freelance investigator, a supernatural being who was hired to investigate abnormal phenomena.
The reason for establishing this character is because Su Yue knows Xia Shou very well.
With Xia Shou's personality, he would definitely conduct a very careful investigation when entering an unfamiliar abnormal area. The character she has established can reasonably educate Xia Shou about the Crazy Love Hotel after entering the hotel and reduce the time of exploration.
As for her personality... she portrays herself as a mature woman who is serious, dedicated to her work, and not too concerned about relationships between men and women. This can both reduce the other party's sense of responsibility and facilitate the progress of interaction.
Well... actually, it's the type of minister, but more serious, with most of the oppressive feeling weakened and the strong dominant position in interpersonal relationships given up. That's about it.
Because of her age, Su Yue has never played this kind of role before, so this character is actually a brand new challenge for Su Yue.
Su Yue stayed in the guest room for the entire day, wearing a necklace and reciting her own lines in front of the mirror. At first, she was not used to her mature voice, but with constant practice, she finally began to get used to it and thought to herself that this was her own voice.
Su Yue stood in front of the mirror, looking at herself in the mirror, with her arms folded across her chest. Her expression and behavior were like a free and easy career woman, and then she used a kind of.
"Hello, did you come in here by chance, or are you also here to investigate this hotel?"
"It's okay. Since I accepted the employer's commission to come here for investigation, I have already prepared to be in the same room with a strange man. You don't have to worry about it. Just relax."
Your voice should be gentle and peaceful, your mind should be calm and composed, and your behavior should be dignified, because Brother Xia Shou is more likely to accept strangers who are polite and well-mannered.
I'm starting to feel that this kind of personality seems to be quite suitable for me.
Su Yue took the script she had written and memorized the lines she needed to say in various situations. As she continued to practice, her strong acting talent began to come into play and she slowly began to get into the role.
The golden afterglow outside the window spread to the west like the receding tide. Su Yue put down the script, walked to the coffee table, took out the hotel registration card with a light pink color, took out a pen, hesitated for a moment, filled in today's date, and then wrote her own name and Xia Shou's name in the column of the guest's name.
It's time to go.
When Su Yue walked out of the hotel, the street was already bustling. The traffic of people going home from get off work was slowly crawling like a snail in a maze. People who were looking for fun and those going home from get off work passed by each other with completely different expressions. Su Yue blended into the crowd, but felt detached.
An indescribable sense of tension hung on her like the strings above a puppet's head, and she was ready to step from this bustling city into another secret entertainment venue at any time.
According to the information, as long as the time comes, you will encounter that hotel.
Su Yue looked at the time on her phone. There was still one minute left. She leaned against a street lamp and stared at the window of the McDonald's next to her. When she saw her face reflected in it, she was suddenly stunned.
A vague feeling of uneasiness arose in my heart, and I always felt like... something was missing.
Suddenly, Su Yue was startled and suddenly remembered.
Oops! They look so alike!
Although the time span is ten years, her features and eyebrows still reveal the look of her teenage years. From the beginning, she thought about finding a way to cover it up, but she ended up wearing flat-frame glasses all the time and forgot about it!
By paying too much attention to the omissions in details, we tend to ignore the big flaws that are right in front of us!
"Why am I so stupid!" Su Yue opened her eyes wide and trembled in fear.
She looked down at the time and saw that there were only fifty seconds left!
Damn damn damn!
Su Yue's eyes were as fast as lightning, searching everywhere for masks and the like. If a pedestrian wearing a mask passed by at this moment, she would probably rush up and snatch it away, but unfortunately there was no such unlucky person.
"Your meal is ready, please enjoy~~"
The door of McDonald's opened, and the waiter's voice floated out from inside. A man walked out of the store, carrying a large paper bag of food and holding his child, talking and laughing.
Su Yue took an inadvertent glance and her mind buzzed, like a drowning person seeing a life-saving straw. She sprinted straight into the store and rushed to the counter like a starving ghost, even the waiter was startled.
"Um, please scan here to order~" The waiter showed the QR code on the counter in a gentle voice.
Su Yue ignored him and leaned over to take out a takeaway paper bag from the inside of the counter. She opened it and put it on her head without hesitation.
…
…
The weather is so hot. Is it the hottest time of summer?
Xia Shou walked to the street carrying the dinner he bought from KFC, thinking about going back to the department to enjoy the air conditioning. If he had not lost the game of rock-paper-scissors, he would not have run out to bring lunch for the whole department.
"Um?"
Xia Shou took a few steps and suddenly felt something was wrong.
On the road...why is there no more car noise?
It should be the time to get off work, and the traffic should be very heavy.
And the number of pedestrians on the road...why do they seem to be getting fewer and fewer?
Xia Shou watched the passers-by in his field of vision chat as they passed by him, then turned the corner of the street and entered the store.
The pedestrians disappeared from his sight one by one, heading towards their destinations as usual.
But the strange thing is...some people left, but no new passers-by entered his field of vision.
"Abnormal?"
Xia Shou frowned and his expression suddenly became serious.
He wanted to call out to a passerby, but the moment this thought came to his mind, Xia Shou was stunned for a moment.
When he came to his senses, he found himself in a park and even had a vague impression of how he had walked all the way here!
"Strange, is there a park in the city center?"
Xia Shou began to get nervous, but he was very hungry.
He took out the hamburger from the plastic bag, stuffed it into his mouth, and looked around while eating.
He could see the iconic buildings of Jiangbo City in the distance, which seemed to indicate that he was still in the city, but he did not remember there being such a park nearby.
However, abnormal phenomena are just that, and they are normal.
Xia Shou took a few steps forward and saw a ball of pink light.
He approached slowly and cautiously, and after turning a corner, he realized that the pink light was the sign of a store. The LED light of this store was a suspicious pink color, and the scale was like a medium-sized hotel. The most suspicious thing was the name of the store - Crazy Love Hotel.
Xia Shou took out his cell phone and tried to contact the outside world, but as expected, there was no signal.
Xia Shou turned around without hesitation and walked back the way he came.
He walked straight ahead following the city landmarks he could see in the distance. Whenever he encountered a wood, he would walk straight through it. Whenever he encountered a scenic stream, he would wade directly across it. In short, he walked straight ahead without taking a detour.
Fifteen minutes later, he jumped out of the bushes with leaves all over his body and his trouser legs wet, and saw the iconic pink light again.
It was completely within his expectations. He had not expected to leave so easily from the beginning, but even if the chances were low, he still had to try.
Suddenly, Xia Shou smelled a familiar fragrance. He instantly became alert and knew the source of the fragrance.
Didn't Xiaoyue go to Kyoto? Is she involved in this?
"Is it a cross-regional super-large abnormal phenomenon?" Xia Shou looked around, and then instantly locked onto a figure sitting on a bench under a dim street light not far away.
The fragrance...seems to be coming from there, but this person's height is wrong.
Judging from the ratio of the other person's leg length when she was sitting, the lady seemed to be taller than Su Yue after she stood up.
So, Xia Shou approached more cautiously, while his brain was working rapidly, searching for the connection between the smell and the current situation.
Is it a phantom smell? Is this anomaly capturing the most desired smell in memory and directly reproducing the illusion?
When Xia Shou approached within ten steps of the other party, he was stunned.
The other person was wearing a white sports vest with a short-sleeved jacket on the outside and a pair of casual jeans, looking like an ordinary passerby.
But none of this matters. What Xia Shou cares about most is the paper bag the other person is wearing on his head.
It was a large paper bag used for McDonald's takeout meals, with two holes cut out in it to serve as eye holes.
The lady just sat there very "seriously", like a performance artist from an outdated era.
Xia Shou frowned even more tightly.
This thing is really... an abnormal body, right?
It seems best not to get close, and to use the lightning gun to test it from a distance first, Xia Shou thought.
Just when Xia Shou tried to activate [Future Prefabrication] and construct a lightning gun, the woman sitting on the chair spoke first.
"Hello, did you come here by chance? Or, like me, are you here specifically to investigate this strange hotel?"
The other person's voice is gentle and magnetic, very polite and serious, which makes people think of an excellent career woman. Even when chatting with strange customers, it will not be annoying. Instead, it can attract the other party to listen carefully.
But Xia Shou did not imagine these things. His imagination was more specific, directly targeting one person.
What's going on? What's going on?
Is it Xiaoyue?
Isn't this voice the same as Su Yue's when she grows up!
