My brows knitted tightly. There was another crisp "ding" sound of the elevator. The elevator had reached the 18th floor. Those evil spirits were crowded inside the elevator and showed no sign of getting off.
I nudged Gu Yuan with my hand, signaling that we had arrived.
He glanced sideways, his brows furrowed. He looked out of the elevator and shouted,
"Jun He..."
As Gu Yuan let out a roar, thick black fog enveloped the elevator.
Those resentful spirits seemed to be controlled. They left the elevator expressionlessly in a queue and walked towards the corridor.
The elevator instantly became empty, and the lights stopped flickering and returned to normal.
Jun He stood at the elevator entrance, looking at Gu Yuan with a strange look in his eyes and a slanting smile on his lips.
"So what you said was true."
Gu Yuan glared at Jun He, then slowly let go of me. He dusted off my clothes, dispelling the cold air from my body.
Then he pulled me out of the elevator.
I didn't understand what Jun He meant, so I immediately asked, "What was true?"
Jun He shrugged and said, "It's a man's secret."
It had been extremely cold in the elevator just now. As an ordinary person, Er Shuai couldn't bear such extreme cold.
When he walked out of the elevator, his whole body was covered with a layer of frost. White air kept coming out of his mouth, and his body was shaking uncontrollably.
Gu Yuan had been holding my hand, but he let go after seeing Jun He.
He pushed me towards Jun He and said, "Protect her well."
To be honest, when he pushed me out, I felt really bad. Before, he had shown jealousy because Er Shuai was getting close to me. Just now in the elevator, he had guarded me tightly. But the moment he saw Jun He, he pushed me out without hesitation.
Jun He was not polite either. He pulled me to his side with one arm and said playfully, "Don't worry. I cherish her like a precious treasure."
Saying that, Jun He pulled me towards the studio inside.
Gu Yuan watched us leave. It was obvious that he wanted to follow, but he couldn't. He looked down at Er Shuai. Er Shuai was steaming white smoke all over his body and seemed to be freezing to death.
Gu Yuan took out a pill and had to bend down to help Er Shuai dispel the cold air first.
I was being pulled by Jun He and kept looking back at them, worried.
But Jun He held my hand tightly and didn't let go for a moment.
"Stop looking. You can't see them anymore. He has entrusted you to me, and you're still thinking about someone else. You're such a heartless person," Jun He said helplessly.
The corridor got darker and darker as we walked. When we reached the end of the studio, the scene that Er Shuai had mentioned appeared again.
Large patches of blood oozed from the frost on the glass wall and meandered down the glass.
The scene was just like the time when pigs were slaughtered in my hometown in winter when I was a child. The blood flowed all over the place.
The frost kept accumulating until it spread to our feet. Jun He waved his hand in front of him with a look of disgust on his face, and the frost was swept in all directions by a mass of black air.
As the bloody frost was swept away, the room suddenly returned to normal. The glass door clicked open.
Jun He looked at my face with a sly look in his eyes and pinched his chin. He looked helpless.
"No, you're too eye - catching. I'll change your appearance." Saying that, his big hand touched my face and rubbed it. I felt like my skin was going to be rubbed off.
I forcefully pulled his hands away and said angrily, "What time is it? You're still joking."
Jun He didn't answer me. He just said to himself with a smile, "It's more comfortable to look at like this. Let's go. Let's go and meet this woman named Li Xiaoqian."
"Aren't we waiting for Gu Yuan?" I looked towards the end of the corridor again. I couldn't see Gu Yuan at all from here.
"Don't look. He'll show up when it's time for him to," Jun He said.
Jun He pulled my wrist and led me into the studio.
At this moment, the studio was brightly lit. There were busy junior clerks sitting in each small partition.
It looked like a normal studio, but there was one thing that was enough to show the flaw.
When we entered the studio, none of the people there even looked at us. They were like decorations, completely like tools.
Jun He didn't care about these people at all. He pulled me straight towards the boss's office.
When he reached the door, without saying a word, he kicked the door open.
"Bang!" My eyes fell on the boss's desk.
I saw Li Xiaoqian wearing a sheer dress, doing something indecent with a young man.
I immediately turned my head and didn't dare to look anymore.
However, Li Xiaoqian didn't seem to care. She pushed the man beside her, and he fell to the ground with a "thud" like a corpse, his eyes and mouth wide open, looking just like the people I saw in the elevator.
Li Xiaoqian pulled down the sheer fabric on her shoulder. Her fair and beautiful feet walked towards me gracefully.
"This young man looks so tender. He seems delicious," Li Xiaoqian said in a soft and charming voice.
I was a bit confused for a moment. I didn't know who she was calling "young man".
I glanced around from the corner of my eye and found that Jun He was gone.
It turned out that after he kicked the door open, he slipped away and pushed me in.
This good - for - nothing. He said he cherished me like a precious treasure. Why did he disappear all of a sudden?
I was complaining in my heart when Li Xiaoqian's hand had already hooked onto my shoulder.
Her slender and fair hand was so smooth that you couldn't even see the pores. The sheer fabric on her shoulder swayed, outlining her proud figure. That kind of hidden beauty made my throat dry and my whole body feel uncomfortable.
To be honest, if I were a man, I would definitely not be able to resist such a charming woman.
At this moment, I deeply felt the old saying: "It's worth dying under the peony flower. Even as a ghost, one can be romantic."
"Little brother, why did you come in without knocking?" That coquettish tone made my whole body shiver.
I originally wanted to confront her directly, but just as I was about to speak, a man's voice that didn't belong to me came out of my mouth.
"No. I came here because I heard about it. I heard that you can do that kind of thing here for free. It's a great deal, so I couldn't wait to come and have a look. It seems that what they said is true. You do look really cheap."
I thought Jun He had left. It turned out that this guy had possessed me and entered my body.
"Let's go. There's nothing interesting to see. She's not as good as my Lanlan. Bye."
After Jun He said this, I wanted to rush out and punch him in the face for his mouth running wild.
After hearing Jun He's words, Li Xiaoqian's originally charming smile instantly turned extremely gloomy.
Her voice also changed from that of a delicate little woman to that of an old witch.
"Wait. Which Lanlan are you talking about? Is it Lan Chiyu?"
Jun He didn't intend to stop. He walked straight out of the office.
But when he stepped out of the studio, the originally brightly lit studio instantly plunged into darkness.
