A Familiar Back

Noon.

Crystal Hotel, buffet restaurant.

Sister Eye seemed to have never seen such a variety of drinks before. Holding a large cup, she wanted to fill a little of everything, trying to create the ultimate mixed flavor, which she would then taste with her eyes.

The other four people were in the dining area on the balcony.

Eating in a suite all day can feel very unnatural, so occasionally eating in a public area like this makes it easier for ordinary people to maintain their facade.

Let's celebrate our wonderful holiday!

At Hua Yuan's suggestion, everyone clinked glasses and enjoyed refreshing chilled fruit juice.

After clinking glasses, Luo Di looked at Hua Yuan and said, "Don't make jokes like that again. I thought you were affected."

"Who told you not to be able to tell your partner apart? They're practically clinging to your back, and you still can't tell. It's not my fault, you know."

By the way, do you and Isabella often role-play? You even dreamt of being beheaded by her. Or does Isabella secretly behead people in front of you, since she has many puppets in her retirement home to vent her emotions?

Luo Di didn't continue the conversation, but instead got back to the main point. "Is it possible that I've already been affected by the calamity?"

Hua Yuan's fingers traced between his lips. "I examined you when I was close to you, Sister Eye also looked at your body. Although I did feel some fear in my mind, I did not find any harmful influence or rooted traces."

Those who are affected by misfortune usually show relatively obvious signs.

For example, something growing inside the body, or a mark on the skin, etc.

At least none of us sisters can tell; it's most likely just your personal fear.

Fear is normal. As long as you get close to the area where the monster is, fear will slowly accumulate in your body. Misfortune will only accelerate this process.

Anyway, we had a great time yesterday and didn't encounter any problems. Mr. Di, please be careful. If you feel there are any issues, please let us know.

Last night's Horror Night Talk talk was really interesting! I never knew humans could come up with such terrifying things. If I weren't leaving for the nature reserve tomorrow, I'd love to go again tonight.

Luo Di knew perfectly well they weren't playing around. "Not a single clue?"

"Everything here seems normal, but it feels a bit too normal. There's nothing on the Bright Side. I'm putting my hopes on tomorrow's trip to the primeval forest; perhaps I'll find something there."

What about the rest of the day?

"Have fun! Try to visit all the places in the resort that you haven't been to yet, since we're going to the other side of the island tomorrow... Let's not miss any corner!"

Hua Yuan's eyes flashed red, and then he began to eat meat in large bites, trying to replenish his body's nutrition as much as possible.

Luo Di also started eating, glancing at the class monitor beside him. Perhaps because Hua Yuan was present, she hadn't said much.

[Saiwei Resort Harbor]

The passenger ship that transports passengers also serves as a cargo ship. Each time it transports tour group passengers to the island, it also carries some goods, mainly food ingredients needed by the hotel, inside and outside the cabin.

After all, the number of tourists on the island is generally over 3,000, resulting in a huge daily food consumption.

After the passengers disembarked and were picked up by sightseeing buses, the crew pushed out boxes of food from inside the ship, and there were even several huge freezers loaded with hard goods.

Thanks to technological advancements, these items no longer require manual transportation.

Simply install something called an "automatic cargo ship" at the bottom of the boxes and freezers, and they can travel on their own along the island's asphalt roads to the hotel's back warehouse.

This happens every day.

The hotel kitchen also has "trainee workers" who are all relatively young and are responsible for sorting ingredients and sending them to different kitchen areas according to demand.

However, there were some minor issues today.

A female intern with short blonde hair couldn't open the freezer she was responsible for, no matter what she tried. According to the label on it, it should contain frozen lamb legs and lamb chops.

A colleague noticed the problem and asked, "Sophie, what's wrong?"

"The freezer seems to be stuck. I should be able to open it. You guys go ahead. The kitchen staff are in a real hurry."

"OK."

As everyone carried the sorted ingredients away from the current area...

Click!

The freezer, which had been stuck for some unknown reason, suddenly opened.

Just as Sophie reached for the freezer, she was stunned by what she saw.

A flawless, impeccable female body is curled up inside, completely frozen, like jade or a sculpture. But beneath the ice lies a real, solid flesh structure.

It is both beautiful and terrifying.

Just as Sophie's body reacted and she wanted to run to tell them what had happened.

Snap!

A frozen hand grabbed her wrist.

A wisp of cold, black hair brushed against her body and came close to her ear.

"You might get a little cold after a nap, but it won't hurt your body."

The next second.

Sophie had landed in the freezer compartment, curled up inside, sleepiness constantly creeping into her mind. Strangely, despite being supposed to be very cold, her body seemed to be wrapped in a layer of warm skin, helping her achieve a hibernation-like effect.

Before falling asleep, she vaguely saw the Black-Haired Woman closing the freezer, and the woman's eyes seemed to have turned the same sea blue as hers.

Click!

"Sophie, are you done yet? They're urging you!"

"They're here! They're here!"

"Oh, right~ after delivering the ingredients, also go to the 101st floor to deliver meals to the members."

"OK."

After the buffet lunch.

Luo Di spent the afternoon strolling around the resort's shopping street with the four sisters. Not only did Luo Di have several shopping bags on him, but each of the sisters also carried a lot of bags and pouches.

Watching the four of them walking happily at the front, and seeing the shopping bags in their hands, Luo Di suddenly had the illusion that he was really on vacation.

certainly,

The reason I bought so many is that I need to check all the shops to make sure there are no omissions.

Hua Yuan collapsed onto the sofa, exhausted, as soon as she entered the house.

"Shopping is so tiring, I don't want to go downstairs for dinner~ I don't want to go out tonight either~ I'd better go to bed early! Anyway, I'm going to a very interesting place tomorrow."

The squad leader looked at Luo Di and said, "Everyone is indeed a bit tired. You can call and order food like you did yesterday. Just order the same food as last time; it's quite delicious."

"Um."

Half an hour Back Gate rang.

The sisters were all too lazy to move; Sister Eye was already floating on the pool, while only Luo Di went to the door to get his food.

When I opened the door, the same waiter standing there pushing a food cart was the same one from yesterday.

Luo Di was struck by the waiter's short blond hair and youthful appearance, and the impression only intensified now. Although the waiter's face was rather ordinary, with quite a few freckles, his sea-blue eyes were exceptionally beautiful.

The other person seemed to notice Luo Di's gaze and pursed their lips.

"Dear member, your meal has been delivered. The insulated food cart is in your room and will be automatically retrieved when the housekeeping staff cleans your room tomorrow."

"Thanks."

You're welcome, it's my pleasure to serve you.

As Luo Di took the food cart and prepared to return to his room, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the Girl walking towards the elevator. He noticed her light, bouncy steps, as if she were skipping, and seemed quite happy.

There's something vaguely familiar about this figure from behind.

A deeply buried subconscious thought pulled at Luo Di's mind, urging him to call out to the other person and ask for the waiter's name.

Just then,

Another person came out of the guest room, put his hand on Luo Di's shoulder, and also poked his head out.

"You've been standing at the door for so long, why haven't you come in? Is something wrong?"

"Fine."

The class monitor's gaze quickly locked onto the blonde waitress waiting for the elevator. "So that's what you're looking at? You think the four of us sisters are inferior to a hotel girl?"

Luo Di glanced at the class monitor with a hint of helplessness, knowing full well that the other was impersonating Isabella, so such words were understandable.

"Let's go back and eat."

After another feast,

With their appetites satisfied and the lingering effects of staying up late last night, everyone started going to bed before nine o'clock, also to prepare themselves mentally for tomorrow's special journey.

The sleeping areas are arranged as follows:

The class monitor and Luo Di were each other's partners, sleeping on the second floor.

Shia and Hua Yuan slept on the first floor.

The Sister Eye floated on the surface of the pool.

As soon as Shia fell asleep, Hua Yuan, carrying a pillow, wearing a camisole and shorts for sleeping, went barefoot to the second floor.

There was no disguise or muting.

Instead, he boldly came to the side where Luo Di was sleeping.

His eyes, gleaming with a slightly blood-red light, looked down as he spoke in a tone that sounded gentle but was actually commanding:

"I hope you won't mind if I join in, right? Don't be nervous, I'm really sleepy, and I won't waste my energy on pointless desires at a time like this."

These past two days have been fruitless; the only slightly problematic issue is Mr. Di's nightmare last night.

"Let's sleep next to you tonight and see if you still have nightmares."

Luo Di could tell that Hua Yuan was serious, so he could only move his body to make room for the other person to sleep, and also shared some of the blankets covering him.

"Wow, this is so warm. Thank you for warming my blanket."

Hua Yuan quickly crawled into bed and shivered for a moment before falling asleep with her hands folded behind her face, facing Luo Di.

Indeed, without any physical activity, I fell asleep completely in less than ten seconds.

at the same time,

The class monitor's arm reached out from behind and gently embraced him, his lips brushing against Luo Di's ear, "Let's sleep together..."
