Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

The next day,

Yu Ru and her group spent the night safely, and they found nothing unusual or strange in the room of the new hotel. But that night, Yu Ru had a nightmare all night, in which she was entangled by a little girl.

The child looked about five or six years old, wearing a Chut Thai Chakkraphat-style Thai dress, all shiny gold. However, beneath the gorgeous clothes was a rotten face, her skin was white and bluish, with holes in some places, and blood was oozing out. She was crying and laughing as she ran after her, her hands open in a grasping state, as if she wanted to strangle her.

"Wait for me! Wait for me!"

This is what the child shouted at her. The voice was sharp and thin, as piercing as a piece of iron scratching glass. Yu Rumour's mind was still echoing with that voice early in the morning. This feeling was more unbearable than tinnitus.

This dream was very real, and the scene in the dream was indeed terrifying, which made her unable to sleep well all night. She didn't really believe in ghosts and gods before, but she was very respectful. When she encountered gods, immortals, ghosts and ghosts, she would worship them. What happened yesterday made her scared, and she had to believe it. It was too weird.

She didn't fall asleep at night, so she had to take a nap at noon. Strangely, she felt more and more sleepy and her whole body felt limp. This feeling made her want to vomit, but she had an event to attend today and couldn't rest, so she had to come to the Urban Innovation Design Festival in such a bad state.

The ceremony had six parts, the first of which was the sign-in part. Once entering the venue, someone would guide everyone to the designated location to sign in and verify their identity. The sign-in site was packed with people, and Yu Ru saw many familiar faces, many of whom she had seen on the Internet. They were all big names in the design and architecture world, and some were officials.

"Oh my, why are all the people here so tall? I can't even see what's in front of me." Sister Shan whispered.

Although Sister Shan is not the oldest among Yunjixing's bodyguards, she is the most experienced among them all and has seen all kinds of strange and bizarre scenes. Yu Ru brought her with her and asked the organizer to arrange a seat next to her. In this way, when someone communicates with her or asks her something, she can answer on their behalf.

Sister Shan looked around several times and finally found the place to sign in. She immediately turned to look at Yu Ru and reached out to pull her, "Madam, can I hold your hand? In case we get separated."

Yu Ru nodded and took her hand.

Fortunately, the sign-in form required scanning a QR code, so they signed in quickly. After signing in, the two were about to find a seat when a radio installed somewhere sounded, and many people at the scene looked up at the same time.

"I'm very sorry, everyone. I have to interrupt with an important message. All the winners of this competition, please gather on the red stage. We need to do a simple red carpet rehearsal."

The message was played three times. When the voice ended, Yu Ru gestured to Sister Shan, "Sister Shan, I'll be over there for a minute. Please wait for me at your seat."

"Madam, I'll take you there." Sister Shan held her hand and refused to let go.

Yu Ru nodded.

Sister Shan held her hand and walked in front of her to clear the way for her. With her there, Yu Ru quickly and smoothly reached the steps of the red stage mentioned in the broadcast. There were a total of 20 awards, and she won two, so there were a total of 19 people receiving awards. At this time, there were already more than a dozen people on the stage, and seeing this, she quickened her pace and walked up the stairs.

In front of a bunch of winners, a female staff member wearing a black suit and a work badge on her neck stood to maintain order and count the number of people. After a while, she must have finished counting, and waved to the crowd, saying loudly into the microphone: "Everyone, everyone, look here! Our red carpet walk and award ceremony are together, in the fourth one, please come to our backstage to line up when the third one is about to end, and we will appear in order."

After that, she walked a few steps to the side, spread out her five fingers and pointed in one direction, then waved to the winners, "Come, let's take a quick look at the backstage. Thank you all for following me. Let's go through the simple process and it will be done in five minutes."

Most of the winners did not say anything, and all followed the workers' steps. However, there were still one or two people who were dissatisfied, probably because they were at the end of the team and did not stand out. A young man wearing glasses muttered quietly: "What idiots are the organizers? Why didn't they notify us in advance for the rehearsal?"

A girl nearby heard this and echoed: "That's right, it's so tiring."

The two of them should know each other, as they chatted quite familiarly.

The two of them were at the end, but Yu Ru was the last one, right behind them, very close. As expected, she heard everything they said clearly. She did not participate in the discussion, nor could she participate, and she thought it was actually quite good. She hated rehearsals for non-important matters in advance. If they chose to go through the process on the day, time would be tight enough, and everyone might be more serious, which would eliminate all ineffective things, compress time, and improve efficiency. So, she just listened to their complaints silently and secretly looked at them.

When they arrived at the backstage, the formation changed and the team dispersed. In the slightly hurried crowd, a familiar profile suddenly appeared in Yu Ru's sight.

From the side, the man's bone structure is poor, his facial features are flat, and his face is not smooth. Although it is a flat face, it looks a bit like a shoe insole, but the front face should be considered good, because the man has big eyes and his eyelashes are beautifully applied with mascara, thick and curled.

Before she was sure who that person was, she clenched her fists tightly. Her emotions surged like a tidal wave, and her breathing became a little unsmooth. She couldn't believe that after almost nine years, she still couldn't forget that person. She wanted to face him, but she didn't dare to face him. As long as she heard the name or saw the familiar figure, she almost lost control.

"Come on, come on, everyone listen to me!"

As her thoughts were wandering, the staff's voice sounded again, bringing her back to reality.

She looked up and saw the staff clapping their hands and saying, "When it comes to the fourth session, everyone come here first and go up one by one. Everyone will receive their awards first and then walk the red carpet with their trophies. The order of appearance will be determined according to the number of awards won. I will line up everyone then, that's it."

"Our sign-in will be over in about forty minutes. If you have any questions, you can ask me and I will answer them quickly. If not, please return to your seats. Thank you for your hard work!"

No one had any questions. After the staff member finished speaking, a few people simply responded and everyone dispersed.
