Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2327 List (Nine)

To be honest, the location that Mr. Carton chose for his bucket list was both unexpected and reasonable at first glance.

Generally speaking, the regrets that arise at the end of one's life are more likely to be related to one's youth.

As a result, it is common for people to prefer going to their hometown or second hometown at this time.

But the place where Mr. Carton came from sounds like it was only a place where he had stayed briefly.

Fortunately, the power of youthful sentiments and the stirrings of adolescence is also strong, and it can still explain things to some extent.

We could even add that many years later, Lucy, though completely changed, was still in the same place—a coincidence that could be described as fate.

In short, if they were to leave like this, it might even be considered a beautiful story.

The resting place the old man chose clearly changed the whole atmosphere.

Admittedly, there wasn't much gas left in the car, so it couldn't go very far, and Carton, sitting behind him, was undoubtedly aware of this.

Even with such concerns, there are plenty of places to replenish supplies, such as the roadside shops we visited before.

So what if it's already closed? Just now, in front of Lucy's family, Carton clearly didn't mind pulling out his gun. What's a free purchase compared to that?

In conclusion, before payment, it is more likely that the old man's current behavior can be interpreted as the start of the second item on the list.

This is why it is speculated that he and his father may have lived in this place back then.

It can only be said that this special journey seems to have left a significant mark on Mr. Carton's life—but what kind of mark was it?

The old man had been lying down for a while, remaining completely still, which reminded people of when they first met him.

Fu Qian listened to the old man's advice and watched the whole scene without rushing to get off the bus.

What's most comforting is that, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the old man didn't draw the curtains.

Fu turned off the car, and the world fell into complete silence.

However, Katon still did not react to this action.

……

From a technical point of view, the layout and feng shui of this place are quite good. Is there some special reason why it has been turned into this scene?
Time passed by, and Fu Qian made the most of this rare moment of leisure during the mission, simply enjoying it quietly.

While observing the night sky, he even took the opportunity to examine the pulse of the bankrupt hotel called "Yuanwang".

That's right. Although I wouldn't call myself a professional, I have dabbled in feng shui and geomancy over the years without any guidance.

It wasn't so much to learn another skill, but simply out of curiosity about the underlying logic.

The conclusion is that this place scored quite well. Even if it didn't bring in wealth, it shouldn't be so desolate. Could it be that the clock malfunctioned and wasn't repaired in time, causing its fortune to stagnate and its wealth to be blocked?
Fu Qian's gaze finally settled on the top floor of the building.

It was a dial that wasn't particularly refined, but it was clear that it did have a chronograph function.

The edges are surrounded by broken neon lights, and there's even a weather vane above.

A proper clock tower is a bit of a luxury for a motel; it's clear that this thing is mainly used as a visual landmark, and its accuracy is questionable.

Without the master's guidance, it's possible that after that malfunction, it was never taken care of again, and now even the clock hand has fallen off.

It's okay, I just checked the time at Lucy's house.

He was very confident in dealing with the situation, even if the clock wasn't broken, its accuracy should still be different from his own.

And at this moment, it was already close to midnight—it had arrived.

The note before a certain moment indicates that if the clock is still running, then the midnight bell has already rung.

Of course, any hotel operator with a modicum of sense would surely try to implement a soundproofing system.

Even in this utter silence, Karton seemed to hear the tolling of bells. The body that had been lying stiffly in the shadows opened its eyes at that moment.

Then I sat up straight.

……

So it really isn't as simple as just accommodation?

It must be said that this change is quite fitting for the scene before us.

Watching the lag, Fu Qian didn't rush to get out of the car to take a closer look, but instead silently gave it a thumbs up.

The dying man, the already dead building, and the desolate landscape all seemed to come alive at this moment—because the guest had gotten up.

His movements showed no trace of sleepwalking or dazedness; it was as if he were repeating a scene that had once occurred in this building.

Not only did she wake up with the "bell" ringing, but she even solemnly took her coat from the side, put it on, and then opened the door and went out.

click!
A few breaths later, the door to the next room on the left was slowly opened.

Although the curtains were half-drawn on the window of this room, the scene inside was still clearly visible because of its more central position.

It was a bit more organized than the one next door; the mattress was even in the right place, but it was covered in the same mold as the exterior walls.

Carton didn't seem to mind at all. He quickly came to the bedside and even picked up a pillow from the floor, as if he wanted to continue lying down in this more comfortable place—but he didn't.

This time, he simply stood by the bed, silently looking down as if someone was already lying there.

puff!
The next moment, he even pressed the pillow in his hand onto it.

……

That's a classic move.

For Fuqian, the changes may be sudden, but they have a silent film-like expressiveness.

If there really was someone lying there, then the pillow would obviously be pressed down on the head.

The old man's movements were clearly very powerful, enough to pin anyone down and make them unable to move.

"what happened to you?"

And this is just the beginning; even with no rivals, Kardon's performance is incredibly captivating.

After holding the position for a while, he bent down and asked softly.

His voice remained calm and even, but one could almost sense his concern for the person in bed.

"You don't look well. Did something happen... or did you eat something?"

However, he seemed to receive no response, so he remained silent for a moment before speaking again, speculating about what had happened to the other person.

"I know you told me to stay in my room and not move, but I still heard strange noises..."

After being ignored once again, Carton seemed to sense the displeasure of the person in bed and chose to defend his behavior.

“You’re right, I did make some friends, and this place is more interesting than I imagined… except for the food they eat.”

“You look really uncomfortable, like something's trying to crawl out of your body. Are you sure you don't need to see a doctor? —”

At one point, the pillow in Carton's hand seemed to finally relax a little, and he straightened up slightly.

"I almost forgot, you are a doctor yourself."

Sorry, only one update today.
