Regarding the decision of Yan Yueming and the others to stay in a hotel, Zhao Shen objected and said anxiously: "I've learned from the past. Why are you still stepping on this trap? Shouldn't you avoid it?"
Li Zheng said: "The hotel is already the safest place to stay in the town."
Zhao Shen's face was full of disbelief, "The safest?"
Wen Renjing patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "You may not know that Orange Town has a nickname in the Search and Rescue Department of the Gas Phase Bureau, called Death Town."
Zhao Shen couldn't help but feel weak in his legs, but Li Zheng, who was walking in front, would not slow down for him.
The hotel is not far away, just walk along this road for about ten minutes. This is also the reason why Zhao Shen fled from the hotel in a state of panic. Although he was not familiar with this place, he was able to escape all the way to the bridge. Seeing this three-story small hotel with warm lights in the dark again, his eyes were full of resistance.
The hotel is a wooden structure house with an orange-red paint on the exterior wall, which has been mottled by weather and sun. There is also no "Incoming and Outgoing Instructions" at its door, and an "Open" sign is hung on the door. Push the door and go in. On the left is a dining room and on the right is the counter. The layout is a bit like a youth hostel.
There was a tall, thin old man in a vest sitting behind the counter, nodding his head and dozing off.
Li Zheng stepped forward, knocked on the table and said, "Accommodation."
The old man was woken up, opened his cloudy eyes and looked at them. He was stunned for a long time before he realized, "Oh, it's accommodation. There happens to be an empty room upstairs."
Hearing this, Zhao Shen whispered to Wen Renjing, "That's what he told me just now."
The old man seemed to have no idea at all and said: "We only have single rooms here, and we can't mix rooms. But they are available at any price. How much do you want to live in?"
Li Zheng asked lightly: "How much money do you have?"
All the old man's movements were very slow, as if his bones were rusty. His turbid eyes swept over several people and said: "There is no limit to the top."
Is it capped? Wouldn't it be possible for the lion to speak freely?
Yan Yueming instinctively felt that there was fraud here, and sure enough, Li Zheng quickly reported a satisfactory figure, "1,500 per room, three rooms, and they must be on the same floor as him."
The last one refers to Zhao Shen.
The old man didn't have any special reaction. He took out the pen from the pen holder, took out a thick dark green register book, opened it, and said: "Name."
Li Zheng: "Xiao Hong."
Yan Yueming quickly followed, "Xiao Lu."
Wen Renjing: "Huh???"
When did you agree to use a pseudonym?
Wen Renjing quickly thought of something for himself and said, "My name is Xiao Bai."
Zhao Shen was a little confused, he kept his real name!
When Wen Renjing saw his anxious look, he understood and winked at Yan Yueming. Yan Yueming understood instantly and quietly took a look at the old man's registration book. As for why Wen Renjing didn't watch it for himself, it was of course because - he was short.
The content on the registration book is very simple, only the name, room number and price, which are clear at a glance. The old man also wrote slowly, writing very clearly stroke by stroke, and then he remembered Li Zheng, also known as Xiao Hong.
Xiaohong, 203, 1500
Look further up.
Zhao Shen, 207, 360
Very good, Zhao Shenliu's real name is indeed true, and this can prove that he is most likely not lying. He is called this name, lives in 207, and the room fee is 360.
But looking up further, Yan Yueming began to rub his eyes.
There are so many zeros, take another look.
Xiaoyu,
"One hundred million?!" No wonder Yan Yueming was so surprised, one hundred million is indeed astonishing. After he finished speaking, he lost his composure and quickly covered his mouth.
Wen Renjing quickly asked Zhao Shen in a low voice, "Did you see any other guests in the hotel when you came?"
At this time, the old man finally registered. He closed the registration book with a "snap", opened the drawer and counted out 4,500 yuan. He placed a thick stack on the counter and took out three brass keys. The keys had common signs on them. White tape with the room number written on it.
"Take it and ring the bedside bell if you need anything. We provide hot water and meals 24 hours a day."
After finishing speaking, the old man sat back on the chair and continued to doze off, as if he was really just an NPC giving out tasks, without a word of nonsense.
Li Zheng didn't say much, took the money and keys and left.
Yan Yueming was scared after all. He took a few steps and looked back cautiously, but he happened to meet the old man's gaze. The old man had been dozing off just now, but now he was looking at him expressionlessly.
Under the light, that face looked like dried orange peel, and the whites of his eyes were cloudy, as if they were about to fall out of their sockets.
Yan Yueming's heart trembled, and she quickly looked away, covering her heart and following Li Zheng's footsteps. In this room, Zhao Shen was still thinking hard, "It was just like you saw when I came here. There seemed to be no one in the hotel, and I ran away after less than half an hour, and then I met you... But I know there will be rules ahead.”
He held on to the wall and stared at the stairs. "I don't know which rule I broke. Anyway, halfway through, I felt like I was being watched."
Yan Yueming and Wen Renjing both looked at Li Zheng.
Li Zheng took the lead on the stairs and climbed up the stairs at a constant speed. "There are only a few common rules on the stairs. Xiaobai, tell me."
Wen Renjing cleared his throat, "Odd and even numbers, left and right feet, and don't look back. Since you didn't trigger the trigger until halfway, it's most likely not the first two, so did you turn back in the middle?"
Zhao Shen was stuck, he really couldn't remember such small details for a while.
But it doesn't matter, practice is the only criterion for testing truth.
The remaining three people stepped onto the stairs one after another, each with different steps, stepping on each step. They walked cautiously, neither too fast nor too slowly, and did not look back.
Zhao Shen's legs were a little weak and he held on to the wall the whole time. To his surprise and joy, this time he walked up to the second floor safely without triggering anything.
"Huh..." He breathed a long sigh of relief and managed to cheer up, "There is something wrong in the room as well."
The four of them took the lead in going to Zhao Shen's room, which was in room 207. Pushing the door open and entering, the room was still the same as when he left. The bed was messy, there was an instant noodle bowl on the table, the water glass was poured on the floor, and there were signs of use in the bathroom.
"I bought the instant noodles. A bowl costs fifty yuan. Ring the bell and someone will bring it to you. A beautiful girl in uniform comes, handing over the money and delivering the goods. By the way, she asked for more. My tip is ten yuan." Zhao Shen tried hard to recall the situation just now, and carefully said everything he could remember.
&nb
sp; Li Zheng quickly extracted the rules from his chaotic expression.
One: Don’t close your eyes while taking a shower.
Two: You must turn off the lights when sleeping.
Three: Be careful with your words when speaking, and do not violate the basic rules of the town, that is: practice what you preach.
After Wen Renjing finished listening, he looked up at the ceiling thoughtfully, "Xiao Lu, you just said you saw a Xiaoyu living in 309? The room price is 100 million?"
Yan Yueming nodded, "Yes, if it's 309... it's diagonally above?"
207 and 309 are actually not far apart.
Zhao Shen quickly reiterated: "I really didn't hear anything. I was scared to death by myself!"
Wen Renjing: "In the final analysis, is a room fee of 100 million really possible? The money here is the same as in the real world. If converted into cash, it can fill this room."
"Yes. But I will definitely not count wrong, it is eight zeros." Yan Yueming nodded seriously. Just kidding, when it comes to money, Xiao Ming can never miscount, "Maybe what kind of card did Xiaoyu take? Or a check?"
Wen Renjing: "I think we can go to 307 and have a look."
Yan Yueming looked at Li Zheng, who raised his eyebrows slightly, "You decide for yourself."
The two cobblers looked at each other, whispered a few words together, and then decided to embark on the journey again. Li Zheng put one hand in his pocket and followed behind calmly, without any intention of intervening.
Zhao Shen didn't dare to stay in the room alone, so he had no choice but to follow.
The four of them came to the third floor.
The layout of the third floor is the same as that of the second floor. The corridor is quiet and there is no sound at all. Wen Renjing was a senior, so he took the lead and walked at the front. Yan Yueming followed behind with a small golden ax on his waist. Zhao Shen sneakily walked at the end, holding on to the wall. He looked at the few in fur coats in front of him. From their backs, I felt that they were not there to inquire about the situation, but to rob.
How similar.
100 million, I'll give it away if I give it a few million.
The desire for money can often defeat fear. Zhao Shen hid behind the robbers, feeling less afraid in his heart. What's disappointing is that Xiaoyu from Yiyuanhu is not in the room and no one answers the door.
Yan Yueming: "I have never seen so much money."
There was a hint of regret in the Ax Gang's voice.
Finally, he asked: "Is 1,500 a safe value? The hotel is the safest, so we chose this place. 1,500 is not too little, it is enough to spend, but it is not too high? Is too high a bad thing?"
Wen Renjing touched his chin and said: "You will stay in the town completely after you have spent all the money? Then if the money is never spent... then it will be like Zhao Shen, even if he runs away in the middle, he will still come back?"
Both of them looked at Li Zheng, and Li Zheng said: "Leaving a pseudonym only weakens the relationship, but it does not cure the root cause."
After finishing speaking, he continued: "The last time I came to Orange Town was three years ago. Three years is enough time for some changes to occur here, plus the active period is coming, so what I just said may not be entirely correct. . The town is the most dangerous during the day. Now let’s go back to our rooms and take the time to rest. No two people can live in the room at the same time, so be careful."
Zhao Shen raised his hand hesitantly, "Um, can I ask a little more, who... are these people?"
Li Zheng was not interested in answering this question. Yan Yueming only followed the lead of the senior students, so of course it was difficult to say. The remaining one, Wen Renjing, straightened his back and smiled mysteriously, "Heroes don't care where they come from."
As a social animal, Zhao Shen was still good at observing words and expressions. Seeing that they did not want to reveal his true identity, he wisely chose to shut up.
The four of them went back to their rooms.
Li Zheng was in 203, Yan Yueming was in 204, and Wen Renjing was in 205. The three of them walked to their respective doors, looked at each other, and then opened the door and entered. Zhao Shen is at 207, closely followed.
Yan Yueming was very cautious. The first step was to turn on the lights and make sure everything in the room was normal, then turned and closed the door.
The structure of 204 is exactly the same as that of 207. Judging from the review just now in 207, Zhao Shen's biggest problem is that he talks too much, saying things he shouldn't have said, violating the basic rules of the town.
The survival rule for ordinary people: follow the path that others have taken.
The so-called law does not blame everyone.
So Yan Yueming quickly copied Zhao Shen's actions, calling room service first and spending 50 yuan on a bowl of instant noodles. Instant noodles can fill his stomach, and he can also drink soup. When he is full and drunk, he will wash up.
When he opened the closet, he found a safe in the closet. This is not surprising, many hotels have such equipment. The safe was closed, and the password was unknown. Yan Yueming looked at it carefully, but was cautious not to use it.
There is a clock in the room.
Yan Yueming glanced at the orange-red town and saw that it was three-thirty in the morning.
It's almost dawn.
Yan Yueming wanted to fall asleep quickly, but at this moment, the knock on the door of "Du, Du" came again.
In an instant, the string in Yan Yueming's head tightened. He didn't dare to open the door easily, so he opened the peephole and looked outside, but saw no one.
There was no one, so there was no knock on the door.
Yan Yueming looked down, saw the crack in the door, and took half a step back in an instant. At this moment, a small card was quietly slipped under the door.
He took a closer look and saw two lines of words printed on it:
【Hot girl
If you are interested, please knock on the door panel】
Yan Yueming: "..."
Probably because no one took the card, it was pushed a little further. Yan Yueming didn't know if the card would have any impact after being pushed completely into the door. After thinking about it again, he took out a clothes hanger from the closet and carefully pushed the card back with the clothes hanger.
The card was pushed back without any resistance, as if there was no one outside the door.
But a rustling sound sounded outside the door, and after a while, another card was sneakily pushed in. Yan Yueming looked over and saw that it read:
【Innocent sister
If you are interested, please knock on the door twice]
Yan Yueming pushed back again.
Not long after, the card was pushed for a third time.
【Passionate hunk
If you are interested, please knock on the door three times]
The thirty years of battle of wits and courage between human beings and world consciousness are a despicable history book. It seduces you, deceives you, makes you lose yourself and fall into a trap until you become its believer and its puppet.
Today, Yan Yueming finally has a deeper understanding of this.
This bastard of world consciousness will still grow, and everyone knows how to use men to seduce him!
