【The High Priestess of the Priestess】(1/2)
"Before you came to the community where you live, I went to the nearby taxi and bought a pack of chewing gum and a bag of lychees."
The woman leaned on the chair and tidied her undry hair. I noticed that her green and yellow nails were a color that no matter how beautiful a woman looked, she was difficult to control, but she was exceptional.
"Your community has access control and you have to swipe your card to get in, so it took me a few minutes to search through the duty schedule in front of the security room."
I smiled, at least at this moment, I had already confirmed that she was an extremely smart woman.
"Can you guess the reason... When the security guard came to ask me what happened, I asked him: 'Are Uncle Li here today?'"
The last sentence she used in very standard Cantonese. I recalled it a little, put my right hand on the back of the chair, raised one leg, and smiled:
"It seems that Li Jianguo didn't go to work today."
"Yes." The woman's eyes turned into a crescent moon.
Her intention is not difficult to guess. The duty table is not just the security card on duty that day. She compared the duty table for the past few days and chose a security guard who has not been working today, in order to pretend to be his relatives to eliminate human alertness from strangers. She deliberately used Cantonese when talking to the security guard, and the reason was the same.
The woman's final narrative also confirmed my guess - a young girl with a beautiful appearance and a distant niece of a colleague, came back from overseas to visit her uncle, and spoke in the same dialect as herself. The guard of the community had almost no doubts, so he took the initiative to help her carry her luggage and opened the door of the community. She said that the lychees she just bought were originally wanted to give to her uncle, but they would break if she kept them for a long time, so she handed them over to the guard Lao Wang.
"I walked into the community on the grounds that I went back to my brother's house first and came to visit me another day, and came to the door of the apartment where you live..."
I held my arms and smiled disapprovingly:
"You're just a waste of time. The security system of this community is already very problematic. If you just want to get in, just follow the person with a card and pass through the gate. What's the cost of spending so many weeks?"
"Oh? Is it?"
The woman suddenly leaned forward, leaned against the table, staring at me with relish, her face full of a pranky smile:
"Guess what I did in front of your house?"
"What else can I do..." I subconsciously said, and then I rushed out of the chair:
"Aren't you?!"
The female liar's posture did not change at all, but her smile became more and more cunning. She obviously understood what I meant and nodded with a smile:
"yes--"
Before I finished speaking, I had already rushed out, ran straight to the door, twisted the handle and opened the door.
——The lock outside the door has been replaced with a brand new one.
A ridiculous chill poured into my heels from the top of my head.
I turned around stiffly, and the woman followed me at some point, looking at my dream with fun, barefoot, with her hands behind her, blinking her eyes.
"Yeah, yeah!" She pretended to be mature, but nodded playfully:
"It seems that Shi Zuo Cai has discovered the truth!"
My temples kept jumping: "You stuffed the gum into my door lock?"
"Awesome!" She gave me a thumbs up at me with appreciation.
There is no doubt that my previous thoughts were extremely naive - how could a woman like her do something meaningless? A distant relative who pretended to be a guard was not just to get into the community gate, but to completely gain the trust of the guard. Then, she completely blocked the lock in my house with chewing gum, causing the illusion that the lock was broken and the door could not be opened. She ran back to the security room to ask the guard for help. If I was right, even the lock-opener was invited by the guard who was fooled by this female devil.
If you think about it carefully, even the bag of lychees she bought in Shiduo was extremely particular. It was the hot summer at this time, and the shelf life of lychees was not even one day. Before entering the community, she had already planned everything and wanted to give the lychees to the doorman, and used the "good impression" and "human favors" to break into my home openly...
"Dada--" The female devil suddenly reached into the bathrobe pocket, took out a exquisite new key, and handed it to me with both hands. Not only did she not feel guilty about breaking into a private house, but she had a bit of a desire to seek credit, like a puppy who was only waving his tail and begging for mercy.
"I'm going to give you a new key!"
My mouth twitched wildly for a while, took the key, put it in my pocket, and then stretched out my hand:
"Give it."
The woman blinked innocently:
"What do you take?"
“Supply key.”
“What spare key?”
"Don't pretend to be stupid." I stared at her and sneered:
"Since you have changed the keys, you must have a spare one for yourself, right?"
"No—yes—"
She turned around and put her hands into her bathrobe. There was no sincerity in her tone, and it was obvious that she was just a fool. This woman's cunning was simply a Great Wall.
I felt like my throat was burned by fire. I walked past her and walked to the kitchen. I picked up the bottle of unopened milk with a sticky note on it. It was my handwriting: "Don't talk to my mouth." I secretly laughed at myself as a fool, and casually unscrewed the bottle cap and poured a few mouthfuls into my mouth. The sticky smell of milk filled my throat, and I frowned.
"So, you have been investigating me carefully for so long, carefully preparing such a big show to deceive me into being a crazy talker, what is the real reason?" I suddenly asked.
"Hmm?" The woman tilted her head in surprise:
"What am I not preparing carefully?"
"Is that true?" I went back to the chair and sat down in a comfortable position, throwing a smile at her that was enough to fascinate the girls:
"I don't even believe a punctuation if you say anything."
"There is no limit to empty words." The woman curled her lips and walked over to sit opposite me: "Since you think I have investigated you carefully, then just talk." After that, she held her chin and stretched out her hand at me: "I want to drink too."
I looked at her, then at the milk in my hand, raised my head and drank it all, and wiped my mouth calmly in the woman's angry gaze, and tapped the table with her fingers:
"There is a huge hidden danger in your layout."
"Every step in your plan, including mingling into the community, winning the trust of the security guard, pretending to be the owner's family, and tricking the lock unlocker into changing the locks, are all based on a major premise - 'No one in the room responds'. In other words, if I was not sleeping at that time, once I heard the sound outside the door and came out to investigate the situation, all your lies would be self-defeating."
I raised my head and looked at her with a smile, trying to penetrate the surface of her exaggerated and cheerful gaze, looking for even a slight panic. At this time, she and I were sitting at both ends of a chessboard, engaging in an unknown psychological game. And we have to admit that this female devil with a smile on her face is indeed an enemy I have never seen before in my life.
My fingers were still hitting the table regularly and continued:
"With your meticulousness, it is absolutely impossible to ignore this huge premise. The only possible explanation is that you have already investigated my life experience in advance. If you have a hand in my hand, you will know that I have a deep sleep and are difficult to wake up. This can also explain why you rushed over without stopping as soon as you get off the plane, because you know very well that the closer it is to dawn, the more likely I will wake up in advance..."
The woman suddenly hugged her arms with her hands, lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her head and showed a very proud smile:
"You guessed wrong from the beginning." She said with a smile:
"The 'big premise' you mentioned does not exist at all."
My heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She continued: "I didn't deliberately understand your living habits."
My brows were raised high.
She said:
"Because I didn't rule out the possibility that you would wake up in the middle from the beginning, and I'm not worried that you would open the door to check the situation after hearing the sound outside the door... because the solution to this situation is also very simple."
She paused and said:
"Just kiss you."
I stood there and looked at her in surprise. After thinking for a few seconds, I didn't understand the meaning of the sentence at all. But the look she looked at me was so firm that it made me feel heart-pounding, as if it had an unquestionable magic.
I felt that I was shocked by her in an unreasonable way. The "solution" she mentioned was logically feasible. I was inexplicably angry and sneered:
"Is this your 'solve'? It's ridiculous..."
"I will kiss you."
Before he finished speaking, the female demon quickly interrupted me.
Her fists clenched tightly on the table. Her attitude was so firm that my mind fell into a brief blank.
I will kiss you...
It's ridiculous. It's obviously a ridiculous statement, but at the moment I heard this sentence, an inexplicable fear had already penetrated my entire chest. Whether it's reasonable, I feel that the unreasonable way of making trouble would never prevent her acting skills from being exposed, but what is this panic-like feeling?
Liu Yan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"Shi Zuocai, you are very smart, and you can even be said to be the smartest person I have ever met. This is undoubtedly a matter of no doubt. You have the ability to think logically that ordinary people do not have and have the calmness of the perspective of God. You can always use a third-person perspective to analyze everything in your life, or make the most rational judgments about everything without any subjective emotions. This is your innate talent and a terrible potential that surpasses everyone. But it is also because of this talent that you have that has caused you to fall into the vicious circle you created. There has not changed in ten years and cannot change the dilemma of your current life."
I was silent. She continued:
"That's right. The process of entering this room is exactly the same as what you reasoned just now. But what you are talking about is only reasoning, the only reasonable situation selected based on the existing outcomes and conditions, like a computer that calculates complex formulas in precision. It is precisely because you rely too much on your logical thinking ability and ignore the most basic and important point."
I narrowed my eyes slightly and looked at her. The woman was clearly organized and organized when she narrated, but there was no longer the calm expression on her face. I could even feel her strange emotions from the faint white knuckles she held tightly. She pursed her lips and continued:
"Shi Zuocai... You are a human, not a computer. Events can be reasoned by computer calculations, but human hearts cannot. This is why you ignore the most important point: you just think it is natural for me to break into your house, but you have never thought about the most essential reason. Why can I gain the trust of the doorman? Is it because of the exquisite layout? Is it because he thinks I look good? Is it because I gave him a bag of lychees?"
This woman named Liu Yanshi, what she said was like the sharpest sharp edge in the world, piercing deep into my heart, tearing a huge hole in the previous tight and absolutely perfect reasoning process. I suddenly realized the most fundamental problem: no matter how good the guard has in her, as long as he thinks a little from the perspective of others, he will understand that the security guard will never trust a person he has never known, and even take the initiative to find a lock-opener to help pick the lock. Once he finds that she is not the real homeowner, the guard will definitely bear extremely important legal responsibilities.
I felt my throat tearing and thirst again, and when I made a sound, my voice seemed a little hoarse:
"How did you... do it?"
Liu Yanxi looked at me calmly and said slowly:
"Because I am Kuangyan Master."
I grinned dryly, without saying anything, waiting for her later text. A simple sentence like this does not have any intimidation to me, and it may even make me feel pitifully convincing. I think she will explain further.
But she didn't.
The woman said nothing. She just slowly lowered her head. She took back her hands under the table and grabbed the bathrobe on her thighs. After a while of silence, she raised her head.
At that moment, I felt like I was killed by thunder.
Liu Yan's eyes were filled with crystal tears. In the hazy tears, what I saw was something I thought I would never see again in my life. In the past eighteen years, there was a period of time when I was soaked in such a gaze, like the dawn shining from the endless night fog. I, who was once surrounded by endless gloom, clearly felt the color of life. After the eyes that suddenly dissipated in the world ten years ago, I fell into the abyss.
But now it appears in front of me again. It makes me feel dazzling and even frightened. It is as if the gray and white world around me has been opened by someone, and the sunlight spreads unscrupulously to every corner, dyeing every window and every door, illuminating my naked and ugly appearance.
Yanshi slowly stood up, tears kept flowing down her cheeks, she walked towards me, I stiffly didn't know what to do, until she bent down in front of me and rubbed me deeply into my arms, and I could not recover my rationality.
"elder brother……"
I clearly know that the gaze is love.
I clearly felt the tears that fell on my shoulders, and the temperature was hot.
I clearly felt the figure sobbing in my arms, like a chick wet by the rain.
I could feel every cell in my body as if it was getting restless, madly pulling my tendons, making me raise my hand to embrace her in my arms; I could feel every soul in my body as if it was breaking out of my shell without hesitation, and want to share with her all my few emotions.
Until at some point, the last trace of reason gently hit my nerves, and such a consciousness appeared in my mind:
To be continued...
