Chapter 15
——He always felt that he’d forgotten a certain thing.
Jian Hua is cooking udon noodles, absently sprinkling some pepper into the bowl.
The TV in the living room is on and the voice travelled into the kitchen.
“Movie actor Li Fei publicly disclosed his love life for the first time. It turned out to be unrequited love. This host is also surprised! Please see the live broadcast below......”
Jian Hua is surprised for a moment, the pepper sprinkled onto the table the bowl was into.
He only met the person a day ago, can this be considered a love affair? Jian Hua remembered that Li Fei is GAY so he felt that Li Fei’s unrequited love is normal. He’s probably in love with a straight man so of course it’s not good to confess.
Turning off the heat, he took off the hot bowl and went into the living room. He just happened to meet Li Fei’s eyes on the TV screen who sadly said: “Although the other person is single, but I know the one that person likes isn’t me. ”
It turned out to be a love triangle.
Jian Hua picked up his chopsticks, picking up the noodles to eat while thinking.
The noodles are boiled a little too far making it pasty. Truly a headache, Jian Hua sighed.
A noisy group is on TV. The reporters are in a hurry to ask questions.
“That person......is on the inner circle. ” Li Fei smiled and continued to tell the story.
“Very serious, and also very hard-working. You asked me about the things that I like about that person. This is not possible because in my eyes, that person looks good everywhere. ”
“In fact, I do not know enough about that person because of the distance......you need to understand, our relationship is not familiar. But I think that every time I see that person again, I can find something new. So let me continue to indulge, such is unrequited love. ”
“In fact, I loved that person at first sight. ”
Jian Hua held the chopsticks in his hand. He carefully looked at Li Fei’s expression and eye movements. Although he has no talent in acting, Jian Hua has been exposed to it long ago. But meeting Li Fei, he could not help but feel that the way God eat is not the same.
When it comes to an affair with no result, some would be depressed, but which man can be immersed in the contenment of such a tiny thing? There is a world of difference from General Wu?
Jian Hua continued eating noodles. This is in order to get rid of Xiao YaQin so he did not think deeply about Li Fei’s words.
The entertainment industry is full of half-truths, ever-changing. Life is like a play and it all depends on acting. Li Fei is a prime example, you’ll lose when you take him seriously. Not to mention that Li Fei’s “affectionate confession” is subtitled with a “she” so it’s hard for Jian Hua to take it seriously.
After listening to today’s entertainment news, Jian Hua went to the kitchen to clean the dishes. Cold water rushed into his hands and he finally remembered what he neglected.
In the abandoned world, the cameras are still working. The fact that he walked into the elevator of Universal Studios should have been caught?
Five people went into the elevator, mysteriously disappeared and a couple died mysteriously......
Jian Hua irritatedly threw the chopsticks into the sink. He deeply frowned and wondered how to get out of this affair. He didn’t think that he would be a suspect to a murder case.
He opened his computer and searched through the Universal Studios’ murder story.
Due to the Pearl Hotel explosion the next day, the heat around the Studios’ murder took a sharp drop. The gossipers went to Xiao YaQin’s video event and at the moment, they are guessing who the movie emperor Li Fei’s unrequitted love is. The couple’s death case lead to no further clues.
Jian Hua kept changing the keywords, Huai City, Universal Studios......
“En? ” Jian Hua stopped to look at a microblog. Huai City University has two girls missing, at the night of the incident, they went to Universal Studios to watch the movie?Crow?.
He opened the photo for half a minute.
Jian Hua never had the ability to never forget. Also, the photo and the real one always have some kind of distortion so he cannot be sure if the two girls are the same two girls in the elevator that night .
Jian Hua thought of how he almost starved to death a few days ago and frowned even tighter.
He doubted the physical endurance of the two schoolgirls so he’s afraid that they’re already dead in a corner somewhere.
This can be troublesome. The same five people went into the elevator and he’s the only one alive. This would be hard to explain.
Jian Hua regretted that he was not wearing sunglasses out of habit. He also can’t remember the location of the elevator camera, or if the surveillance in the parking lot captured his license plate number——he did not know.
If the Pearl Hotel’s explosion hadn’t attracted the police’s attention, Jian Hua felt that he may have fallen under the range of suspects in the investigation, waiting to be summoned at the police station rather than at home looking through microblogs.
What happened cannot be changed unless he destroyed the surveillance video.
Don’t talk about sneaking into Universal Studios’ security department to erase the surveillance records, what if after the incident, the related videos are already extracted? What if they’ve been copied by the police?
Jian Hua’s face became more and more ugly. He has no choice. There is no escape. Like an animal curled up in the room, no matter how dark the corner he hid, he can not escape.
This is a cornered situation where a big intangible net gradually closes, giving a sense of suffocation?
“Pop?”
Bits and pieces on the table flew out of control, then fell to the ground.
Jian Hua cannot suppress his own strength when the feeling of desperation and panic dominated him just now.
He is different from Li Fei. There’s nothing he can’t give up in this world, no achievements and dreams to occupy his soul. There is no sense of belonging to this world.
Being in a rich family when young, what can he not have? After going bankrupt because of debt, his relatives were gone without a trace. When he sees a friend, they would hide. The house was mortgaged and even having no hot meals to eat, as if a lost dog. Only the land has not left him and always has an investment pattern. Jian Hua, for the people of this world, has a deep sense of distrust.
How to explain the encounter at Universal Studios, how to ensure that he would not become a lab mice——thinking of the surprised and contemptuous eyes of his interrogators, Jian Hua’s emotions became unstable.
He realized he could not get away from this affair and the uncontrolled power is soaring geometrically.
“Boom. ” The strong force in his mind presented a terrifying force which shocked him. Jian Hua was covered in cold sweat, twitching, and only after a long while did he climbed out of the chair.
The room is a mess. The sofa is floating in mid-air. The TV is leaning against the shoe rack. The kitchen sink has a water column gushing out. The spray of water froze there, looking exceptionally strange.
“......”
All items instantly fell back to it’s original position.
Jian Hua stiffly turned his head. The wheezing noise from the neighbor’s old kitchen exhaust hood is gone.
The second hand on the clock stopped, 13:10.
——Li Fei’s awakening led to the end of the abandoned world in advance. This time, when Jian Hua’s abilities went riot, it made this ominous world come again.
Jian Hua subconsciously touched his pocket.
He has the habit of carrying food with him. However, carrying a mountaineering bag full of food for 24 hours is too far. Now lying on his pocket are chocolate and two small bottles of glucose.
Jian Hua opened the closet, picking a distinctive sports jacket. He also pulled out a hat, gloves, sunglasses and a mask, opens the door and ran downstairs, swiftly turning in the quiet neighborhood, and rode away with an unlocked bike in the front door.
A powerful forced filled his every muscle and every nerve.
Jian Hua felt that this time was different from the other two. The silent city is like a stagnant pool and walking inside it brought up a circle of ripples, this is the fluctuations of power.
Elsewhere in the pool, there are also weak ripples generated which are incompatible in this calm place.
Jian Hua skillfully avoided these “ripples”. The city is big, it’s hard to meet someone, not to mention Jian Hua who deliberately hid.
There’s laughter coming from the police car on the roadside, someone smashed the door, seemingly wanting to escape. The detention center also has some movement, but they’ve just woken up from ecstacy when they were stumped by the handcuffs.
——the have no ability. Even though the world’s people are gone, they also cannot escape ah.
So the laughter turned into a curse and collapsed into a cry.
Jian Hua did not know this as he rushed towards the Universal Studios.
The bustling shopping center is empty and Jian Hua went into the staff area, towards the hard to find security department. But the control room has a password lock, even employees has to enter a password to enter.
Jian Hua pressed down the handle inside the door with his ability, forcing it to open the office door.
Fortunately this is work hours so the machine is running. Jian Hua entered the time and opened the monitoring record but found that the records on that night at the elevator and parking lot are missing.
Did the police copy the video and because the content is too ridiculous that it would create a sensation, they deleted the original?
Jian Hua is having a headache when he suddenly felt that there was something outside the Cinema.
The reason why he called it a thing is because of the feedback from Jian Hua’s ability-sensing is in a rectangular shape. Of course there is no such creature in this world so Jian Hua judged it as another ability holder since the power around the object showed a similar “field” effect.
Quickly leaving the monitoring office, Jian Hua gathered his strength and calmly went to the mall floor.
There are many places to hide here since the mall opened several doors at the same time. The intruder’s location in Jian Hua’s eyes is no secret so Jian Hua can calmly avoid the other and quietly left.
To his surprise, something unexpectedly happened.
The ability holder went towards the Cinema’s elevator doors, stopped and looked around, then should loudly:
“Hey?”
“......”
“I know you’re here. That day we encountered the incident, the newspaper said that the couple were dead. My friend is also dead. I’m afraid to go home now?”
The voice is from a young girl and she was crying.
Jian Hua bent over to hide his body behind the jewelry store sign, detoured from the back of the counter and around the elevator. Squatting in the dark, he looked at the girl.
She looks like the girl in one of the picures of the missing schoolgirls in Weibo.
“Yesterday Li Fei awakened his abilities, the abandoned world suddenly ended so you didn’t have the time to destroy the surveillance videos in the Universal Studios. I know you will come today so come out okay? I know some things, I can tell you the truth. ”
The curve on Jian Hua’s mouth became deeper, his eyes cold.
He left without looking back and did not look at the girl anymore.
The girl did not know it and once again called out to the mall several times. Then in frustration, she sat on the ground while muttering in a voice that only she can hear: “Strange, did he not come? Impossible. Jian Hua is so cautious, if he do not personally confirm his own safety, he cannot even sleep well. “
