Upstairs Room | Fiction

2021 is a bad year for the whole world.

In fact, bad luck has already begun in 2020. Plagues are widespread in various countries, natural and man-made disasters continue to occur, and then many people are unemployed, the economy is stagnant, extreme weather disrupts the normal operation of cities, political disputes are endless, and the fairness and justice in the world are getting more and more It's rare to show that, in fact, she doesn't think it's a big deal. No matter how bad the environment is, as long as you grit your teeth and lower your head, you can get through it. So many people are with her, so why worry and be afraid! This kind of pride will end as of May 20, 2021. It is said to be a very sweet day. She found out that her boyfriend and her friend have been maintaining an adultery. In the boom, she finally collapsed, her life became powerless, her eyes only saw darkness, and she didn't know where to go.

"Wherever you fall, you have to stand up." Since childhood, she was instilled by her parents that girls need to be self-improving. No matter what setbacks she encounters, she will recover immediately like a conditioned reflex, and rebound very quickly without any ambiguity.

She secretly encouraged herself: "No matter what, you must find a man as soon as possible." Maybe she was just angry, maybe she wanted to vent her emotions, and of course she hoped to find a chance to make a quick buck. In short, she wanted to find a man this night.

In this glamorous gambling city, people come and go on the colorful avenues. A single woman like her has both beauty and exquisite means. Of course, it is easy to find a man quickly. She met a handsome young man in front of the slot machine, who happened to be staying in the hotel upstairs, and she was determined to give it up for the night, so she first gave him a hug at the casino, and followed him into the room .

Facing a strange man, she was actually a little nervous. Fortunately, there was a bottle of white wine in the room. After drinking two glasses, she became more courageous. "Hey, tell me honestly, am I pretty?"

There were bursts of water from the bathroom, and she thought the burly boy was taking a shower, perhaps eager to prepare for further action.

"Hey, what are you doing, do you want me to come in and wash with you?" As she said, she rushed into the bathroom, welcoming the romantic erotic exchange with joy.

Unexpectedly, the man was not taking a shower. He was checking a handbag, and it seemed that he had taken out all the money and credit cards in it.

"What are you doing?" she said angrily. "This is my handbag. What do you mean by that?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to drink outside! Who let you in?"

"Men are cheap, either cheating my feelings or stealing my money."

The man walked out of the bathroom, quietly closed the curtains, and then confirmed that the door was locked. "Actually, you're pretty, but unfortunately you're not rich."

"I really don't have any self-esteem. Don't you feel ashamed to steal a woman's money like this? I know a lot of friends here, and I can find a group of people to teach you a hard lesson with just one phone call." She raised her voice, obviously While pretending to be calm, he was actually looking around, searching for the location of the phone.

The man picked up her phone at the dresser and shook it in front of the woman. "Is this your cell phone? Who do you want to teach me a lesson, can I call him for you?"

"Take the money! Even if it's my bad luck this time, if you let me go, I won't hold you accountable." The woman spoke with sincerity.

The man sneered, grabbed the woman's head with both hands, and slammed into the wall vigorously. Then he didn't know when there was an extra knife in his hand, and he saw that the knife fell, and the woman could no longer make any sound. "Aren't you arrogant? You said that I'm a bitch. You don't know that you're actually even dirtier and meaner when you go to a hotel room with a man?" Of course, she couldn't respond any more.

In order to properly deal with the problem caused by being too excited just now, the man calmly ran to the hotel shopping mall, bought an extra-large suitcase, and was about to return to the guest room to sort out his "special luggage" when there was another man in sexy clothes near the elevator. The woman approached her: "Sir, do you need to exchange money? We have a lot of discounts here, add a WeChat to be a friend!"

The man looked at the sexy woman's brand-name handbag, stopped, thought about it, had an idea, and said coldly, "My wallet is in the upstairs room, can you go up with me and talk slowly?"

The woman was overjoyed, nodded again and again, and followed him back to the guest room without saying a word. When bad luck is about to come, you can't stop it. This is a bad year for the whole world, but the fate of some poor people is particularly tragic? Is this caused by the current situation, and also by fate? When the man showed his sharp knife and snatched all the woman's belongings, when she struggled, she saw that there was a woman's body in the bathroom, and when she found that she had no choice but to wait for death, she regretted it was too late.
