Infinite spooky game

Chapter 55

(It will be released tomorrow, so I will write a side story first to calm down my nervous mood; selfishly, I would like to give Qisi his original name of "Si Qi"... Sure enough, the name "Si Qi" still feels good when written)
When Jin Yusheng called and said he wanted to find a restaurant for a get-together, Si Qi casually clicked on the phone calendar to check the time.

January 2035, 1, the 1nd day of the winter month in the lunar calendar, is suitable for offering sacrifices, praying for blessings, and breaking ground. Traveling, encoffining, and burial are prohibited. There will be light snow at night.

As expected, it will be a bad day. On such a day, it is better to stay at home and cover your head and sleep. It is best to wait quietly for the date to become "January 1nd".

Si Qi remembered that he had been living in a living space of less than [-] square meters for a month and a half, like some kind of animal that needs to hibernate when it gets cold...

Continuing to stay at home may not be a good choice. Life is like this most of the time. No matter whether you look left or right, it is visibly bad.

He coldly asked Jin Yusheng what he was doing, and the latter asked in a pompous tone on the phone: "Don't you remember your own birthday?"

Si Qi remembered this matter. In fact, he never felt that the festival of "birthday" had any special meaning, but others always took it seriously.

So, he said a stylized thank you in return for the fact that his so-called "friend" actually missed him so damn much.

Then he put forward tactfully: "I think given your profession, it would be better to read more almanacs."

Jin Yusheng said nonchalantly: "Si Qi, when did you start to believe this? I don't even believe in that stuff, it's just a scam!"

"Also, you have finally settled down in the past year and your career has been successful. You will be able to hold an exhibition next month. Don't you think you need to commemorate it?"

Very good, the excuse of "commemoration" serves as a weight to tilt the balance towards the option of "going out".

Anyway, Si Qi finally went out.

The two elevators in the corridor were stopped abominably on the seventeenth floor. They waited for two minutes without moving to the first floor.

Huang Li's early warning has shown signs, but unfortunately Si Qi has always been a person who has made a decision and will firmly implement it.

He decisively pushed open the door of the safe passage and climbed down the stairs.

High-rise corridors that haven't been walked on for a long time are not clean.

Indelible stains covered the walls, and suspiciously long and messy hair tangled in the corners like seaweed.

The yellowed floor tiles precipitated water droplets as fine as insect eggs, and the cracked glass fire cabinet reflected the shadow of people.

The bloated body wrapped in a black and white down jacket looks like a 22-year-old funny penguin.

Walking from the eleventh floor to the first floor, Shi Qi was out of breath, and white smoke came out, dissipating in the winter air.

It got dark quickly, it was only afternoon, and the sun was gone.On the gray and white background, tall silver-gray buildings stand precariously, clearly in groups, but appear a bit lonely.

Si Qi was walking slowly on the sparsely populated road. He saw the moving company's car parked at the intersection and vaguely guessed the reason why the elevator was stalled.

——He sincerely wished that family would not have to wait for the elevator every day after moving to a new house.

After walking through the old streets and alleys to the station, Si Qi waited for 10 minutes but couldn't find the bus, so he could only use his mobile phone to call a taxi.

After getting into the taxi, he checked on the navigation system and found that the bus he was waiting for was at the previous intersection.

The almanac is very accurate, and today is really not suitable for traveling.Looking at the red lights on the road, Si Qi thought so.

Fortunately, he finally arrived at the appointed place on time.

This newly opened restaurant is called "Tianxiang Tower" and is built by the water.

The antique multi-story boat-shaped building floats on the lake, shining dazzling lights from the windows in the sinking twilight.

The noisy voices and shouting of heads made Si Qitong dizzy. He mixed in with the crowd and crossed the road. He walked into the restaurant by twists and turns, and was led by the waiter to the private room booked by Jin Yusheng.

The bad luck seems to have ended since then, and everything that followed has gone smoothly.

Dishes were quickly brought out plate by plate, including squirrel mandarin fish, swimming crab, Longjing shrimp, and many other dishes that Shi Qi couldn't name.

Si Qi was satisfied with this, and Jin Yusheng was on the sidelines forcing him to babble, his left ear went in and his right ear went out, he responded perfunctorily while picking up vegetables from his own plate.

Jin Yusheng said: "I have too much work on hand recently and I can't keep up. When you are free, just say that you are my junior brother and go and run around for me."

"Ah."

Jin Yusheng: "I fell in love with a girl, but it seems that I left a bad first impression on her. You, the central air conditioner, can give me some advice."

"Ah."

Jin Yusheng: "I boarded a pirate ship and ran around every three days. I could die at any time... Don't be surprised if I lose you one day. Remember to burn paper for me."

"Ah."

Jin Yusheng: "Why do you always say 'huh'?"

Si Qi swallowed the shrimp in his mouth, raised his eyes to look at Jin Yusheng, and said seriously: "I'm just perfunctory."

"You fucking meow #$*&#*!"

……

For Shi Qi, friends are long-term objects of use. After establishing a stable relationship, each takes what he needs, and in exchange for unconditional help from the other party through insignificant effort to himself, in most cases, it is a business that is sure to make money without losing money. .

Sitting on the bus on the way back, Si Qi boredly typed a line of text into the memo on his mobile phone: "Jin Yusheng is suspected of being involved in unknown troubles, which are relatively dangerous and last for three days..."

Something can happen to something you have invested in for six years at any time. This is really not good news and may be considered part of the bad luck.

The small TV on the bus is showing the news.

"Last year, the proportion of sudden deaths hit a new high. Experts remind us: A healthy routine and a regular life are very important!"

"Recently, there have been a number of serial murders in Xiangcheng, which are suspected to be cult rituals. The Public Security Bureau has intervened in the investigation."

"The climate has changed suddenly, and heavy snowfall may occur in various places..."

Si Qi became irritable for no reason, and at the same time, there was a vague warning that there was greater misfortune hidden in the calmness, and it was about to come.

As a pessimist, he thought of death from accident for a moment, and then thought that his immediate family members were all wiped out. He didn't have to worry about someone making a fuss about the inheritance, and he felt better.

He sat by the window and looked at the night outside the window, which started to thicken from light purple and gradually turned into rich black.

Vehicles of various sizes and colors move through the area at a snail's pace, projecting dazzling white or yellow lights.

The fireworks in the shops in the distance are steaming, and the unreal lights and feasts are smudged into a ball, and the watercolor paint is mixed on the straw paper, just like a wine cup has been knocked over.

There were two aunties chattering behind them, scolding the young man who refused to give up his seat.

Schie's head started to hurt again, he ignored it, and continued to look at the messy scenery outside the window, his vision was sometimes blurred and sometimes settled, like a discarded negative that had a mistake in exposure.

When the bus stopped at the platform again, he got off and walked aimlessly through the dimly lit streets and alleys.

It was very cold, but he had the illusion of being soaked in false warmth. He had no strength at all and had an urge to lie down on the spot.

Si Qi used his remaining rationality to tell himself that he would be home soon and should hold on a little longer.

He dragged his feet and continued to move forward, step by step, as if the soul was dragging the body towards the ultimate goal.

The hustle and bustle gradually faded away, and the world was far away and lonely. At the corner, Si Qi encountered a black dog.

The dog barked like it had seen something unclean.

Shi Qi fell to the ground.

In an instant, heaviness and lightness existed at the same time, almost tearing his senses apart.

He found himself rising lightly, while his lifeless body lay below.

All the discomfort disappeared, and the bad luck was completely confirmed, just like the boulder finally fell to the ground, and the sword of Damocles did not break after falling to the ground.

Looking around, Si Qi saw densely packed and vague ghosts, and suddenly realized that the modern city is also full of ghosts.

He suddenly felt that things had become interesting, and what was even more interesting was that he was also a member of the ghosts at this time.

"Dissociative personality disorder, or something else?"

"If I survive, I have to go to the hospital..."

Si Qi made the decision and felt joy from the bottom of his heart.

Even though he thought about his body lying on the dirty and cold ground, possibly bruised, this joy was not shaken at all.

He laughed silently, tilting his head slightly.

A piece of snow happened to fall overhead.
