Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2326 List (Part 8)

Unsurprisingly, Lucy's door remained closed until she crossed the bridge again along the same route.

Although the whole event lasted less than half an hour, today's uninvited guest clearly brought some mental shock.

It even provides a completely new anchor point for individuals to re-examine their lives.

Of course, we believe they can pull through.

After all, if you think about it carefully, although the behavior of the two visitors is abstract to the point of being crazy, when it comes to the specific individuals involved, it's not a big deal at all.

It's perfectly normal for young people to be passionate, and the secret Ms. Lucy revealed doesn't even qualify as infidelity; it's more like a regretful memory of adolescence.

Moreover, they also have someone to help them gauge the appropriate level of discretion.

It's unclear what kind of compensation the old man paid for this trip, but it's obvious that he just handed over the responsibility of controlling the situation to me.

The key to his confidence was clearly the gun at his waist.

First comes the design and aura, then the weapon is pulled out. Even for such a large family, intimidation should not be a problem at all.

Unfortunately, just as he was unaware that he had already threatened people with a gun before, this time he didn't draw his gun at all. He stabilized the situation purely through his affability and even managed to get a bowl of soup.

This development clearly minimized the disruption to the dinner party, and the probability of calling the police should be the same.

At most, Lucy and her husband might have a slightly poorer appetite.

Have you eaten anything?

Just as he was trying to empathize with everyone before making the payment, Carton didn't forget to care about the employees' lives and suddenly asked a question.

"Eat."

He then reminisced about the taste of the cream soup and readily agreed.

The road wasn't complicated. As he spoke, he had already steered the vehicle back the way it came, heading straight for the place where it had broken down.

"That's good. There might not be any food where we're going."

Although he sounded relieved, it seemed that the series of operations he had just performed had exhausted him, and the stuttering sound remained completely unchanged.

"Keep driving until you reach that deserted hotel."

……

No wonder they said there might be no dinner.

Although they were walking in the dark, following the employer's suggestion, Fu Qian instantly recalled the courtyard he had passed by before.

It's so dilapidated, there probably aren't even many rats left; it would be a miracle if there were any food at all.

So the old man had already decided on a place to stay a long time ago, regardless of whether it's still open for business or not.

Is there such an emotional attachment to that place... or is it part of a bucket list?

Suddenly, Fu Qian became even more curious about the part of the work he was supposed to help complete.

The old man's behavior just now was already quite stream-of-consciousness. What kind of entanglement will there be in this more abstract scene?

Of course, curiosity aside, we maintained a high level of professionalism throughout.

They had no objection to the destination announced by Katon, and did not hesitate at all while moving forward.

"How do you feel about that family you just saw?"

Perhaps because he was too professional, Kadun in the back seat didn't rush into a fake death state. After pausing, he asked another question.

"The soup is quite good."

I'm not sure if the employment contract includes a chat service clause, but I wouldn't mind learning about this person's final reflections before paying.

"anything else?"

Although, in Kardon's opinion, this answer still seemed somewhat simplistic.

"That's all." "That's all?"

"Why do we need to have this? You didn't seem to be paying attention to it just now?"

……

"That's very true."

At one moment, Fu Qian seemed to feel the chill of the darkness.

Looking in the rearview mirror, you can see the well-dressed, dying man behind you casting a strange, scrutinizing gaze at you.

Having been in the supernatural circle for so long, Fu Qian can fully understand its meaning. It comes from the supernatural, a kind of condescending malice.

However, this energy and spirit vanished from Katon in an instant, and the voice that followed remained as dull as rotten wood.

"They're not important to me, just like that cat..."

He seemed to agree with Fu Qian's statement that he hadn't been feigning disdain for Lucy, but genuinely disdainful.

No one matters, including the original inviter.

The important thing is that he came at the invitation.

"I understand, thank you for sharing."

After analyzing Katon's self-analysis, Fu Qian nodded again, indicating that he had indeed meant that earlier.

He wasn't blindly following suit; based on his observations, most of what he called reconciliation with the world was essentially more about reconciliation with oneself.

The old man was just being a bit extreme.

From this perspective, he has indeed seriously reflected on life, and he is indeed the person who can create this list and plan.

But that's where the problem lies—what's so mysterious about this act of self-reconciliation that makes the warehouse worthwhile for him to help him accomplish it?
So far, I've been cooperating as an ordinary person, but things are clearly developing in a bizarre direction.

For example, in the old man's original plan, he really didn't think that the driver might refuse to let him stay at the place tonight.
……

The brief exchange seemed to have finally exhausted its energy, and Kadon remained silent.

In the excessive quiet, Fu Qian quickly drove downhill and into a dilapidated courtyard.

At first glance, it wasn't even the only car; in a corner of the hotel's somewhat low-rise buildings, you could see another car buried under weeds.

The rusted frame seemed to emphasize that this place had long been in disrepair.

However, just as Lucy's family's attitude seemed unimportant, Carton also appeared completely unconcerned about it.

"You can stay in the car."

However, seeing that Fu Qian had even parked the car properly, the person who got out of the car seemed to be moved by his dedication and gave him a special reminder.

"clear."

Nodding slightly, Fu Qian watched the old man close the car door again before heading straight to the hotel reception.

It seems that this person not only genuinely planned to spend the night there, but also strictly followed the registration process.

Seeing that Katon walked past the front desk and disappeared into the corridor, Fu Qian actually accepted his suggestion and sat in the car without moving.

It seemed that the old man was even more familiar with this place than with Lucy's house earlier; was he revisiting an old haunt?

Fu Qian didn't have to wait long; soon, Katon reappeared in one of the hotel rooms.

For those in front, it's easy to see through the window that the inside is a mess, with even the mattress lifted up and leaned against the wall.

However, Carton didn't mind at all. He actually took off his coat and lay down straight on it, glancing over here before doing so.

That's right... So, could this place also be where we stayed back then?

Fu Qian found this scene quite interesting at first.

If so, where is the old man's doctor father lying right now?
