“You currently have only 1 Close Friend. Would you like to activate ‘Shake Shake’ and search for any target within a thousand-mile range that could be added?”
Ning Huaxin froze when she saw this message suddenly popping on her phone screen. Thousand-mile range? Why does this sound so ancient!
She casually chose, “yes.”
After that, even without shaking her phone, the images on her phone screen started turning and shaking on its own. A few seconds later, a profile picture appeared on her phone.
This profile picture only consisted of some complicated ancient words. Ning Huanxin couldn’t recognize the words, but his WeChat nickname was in simplified Chinese—
“Hades?”
Ning Huanxin whispered to herself. Someone who actually dared to call himself a God must be suffering from a severe case of ‘Eighth-Grader Syndrome’1
“Do you want to add this user as a ‘Close Friend’?”
Ning Huanxin didn’t hesitate and directly chose ‘No,’ and immediately after that, her phone screen started shaking again.
Then, another private message appeared!
Surprisingly… it was from that ‘Hades’!”
Ning Huanxin couldn’t help but frown. She chose ‘No’ again. Once, twice, thrice… until it was the nth time, and when the Hades user still appeared, Ning Huanxin just gave up.
Is there only one person using WeChat within a thousand miles of her?
“Damn, I won’t add you!”
Ning Huanxin mumbled and was about to press ‘No’ again, but this time, as if her finger was moved by something, her fingers slipped, and she actually pressed ‘Yes’!
“You’ve successfully added ‘Hades’ as your ‘Close Friend’!”
When she saw that message, Ning Huanxin couldn’t help but sigh.
So unlucky.
Today, her luck had been terrible everywhere. Even this WeChat today was like an unlucky phenomenon.
Never mind, she will stop playing and reinstall her other apps first again.
Ning Huanxin closed the WeChat application and started downloading all her previous apps from the App Store. After finally downloading all the apps she had lost, she couldn’t help but check the time on her phone and was surprised that it was already 12.30am.
After 12am, it was a brand new day.
After busying herself for a long time, Ning Huanxin now felt a little tired. She casually tossed her phone on the nightstand beside her bed, pulled her blankets over to curl herself into a ball, and not soon fell asleep.
After Ning Huanxin fell asleep, her phone screen was still flashing…
The next morning, Ning Huanxin woke up feeling hungry.
I’m so hungry!
Ning Huanxin woke up in a daze, freshened up as usual, and headed downstairs to ask the lady boss for a bowl of instant noodles.
However, before leaving, Ning Huanxin glanced at the guest room number plates behind the lady boss. She suddenly stopped, feeling slightly eerie and strange, she asked, “Lady boss, room 204, the one next to my room, used to be a guest room, right?”
After listening to Ning Huanxin’s words, the lady boss who only focused on watching soap opera dramas suddenly lifted her head up.
Perhaps it was Ning Huanxin’s own illusion, but at that moment, she felt the lady boss’s gaze was a little creepy and cold.
“Why are you asking so many questions?”
The lady boss replied unhappily.
“I’m just asking. What’s wrong with asking?”
Ning Huanxin pursed her lips. If this had not been the only inn in this area, she really would not have wanted to stay here either. The room was old and shabby, the lady boss was even weirder, and there was no housekeeping in this place at all.
However…
This inn was actually pretty famous.
Because of the graveyard nearby, which was also the place where Ning Huanxin shot that horror film, this place had hosted many production crews before. This area was rather deserted, only leaving behind this run-down little town, but there weren’t many people in this town either. It was rather impressive that they could find an inn here which could accommodate tens of people.
Any production crew which came to this area had all apparently stayed in this inn.
Then… who exactly lived in 204 before?
Unknowingly, Ning Huanxin already headed upstairs, and right now, she was standing in front of room 204.
