But these movements disappeared quickly, as if it was all just an illusion.
After a while, the doors to a total of four rooms opened almost immediately, and many people sneaked out from behind the doors.
Two of them seemed to be carrying a huge sack on their backs. Because it was opaque, they had no idea what was inside... But no matter who saw the sack, they always felt that there was something weird about it.
Because it was night, and the corridor of the inn was not lit at night, the surroundings were dark.
Originally this was not conducive to any action, but it was probably because it was late at night and no one else could see their actions. This was actually their best chance to take action.
"Let's go!" I don't know who made a voice that was almost a whisper, and the sound of inaudible footsteps suddenly sounded in the corridor.
Although they tried hard to control the sound of their footsteps, perhaps because of the material of the floor, the noise of their walking was still a bit loud.
This step of taking one step and stopping three times is a waste of time and very tiring.
"Take off your shoes quickly!" At this time, someone suddenly said this. After a few seconds of silence, there was another sound of shoes being taken off in the corridor.
After taking off their shoes, the sound of their walking was indeed much quieter.
Not only can others not hear their footsteps, but they themselves can’t hear the footsteps either!
In this way, they walked all the way from the second/third floor to the lobby on the first floor of the inn.
Because there was no one living on the first floor, they became a lot bolder at this time. It was at this time that someone asked in a low voice: "Hey, what smart guy said to take off your shoes? Is this really an idea?" Not bad! After taking off the shoes, there was no movement, what a wonderful trick!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was waiting for the person who came up with the 'cool trick' to speak, but after waiting for several seconds, there was silence.
Just at this time, a strong gust of wind blew open the windows of the inn. This gust of wind also blew on these people. Suddenly, everyone's hair stood on end.
"You, you guys... don't say anything..." The person who spoke before now had a trembling voice in his words. In conjunction with the previous gust of wind, these people were instantly excited again.
They had done something bad to begin with. It was quiet at night and everything was pitch dark. They were already frightened because they were worried about being discovered. But suddenly something like this happened. Even if they didn't want to or didn't believe it, they couldn't help but think about something. Think in the direction of ghosts.
"Okay, if you don't want to say anything, just shut up and leave quickly to avoid being discovered." The person who spoke was obviously the leader among these people. After hearing what he said, the group of people calmed down.
However, at this moment, the first floor of the inn suddenly lit up. Because of the strong contrast in the light, they closed their eyes subconsciously. Although it only lasted a few seconds, it was precisely because of these few seconds that the darkness between them The few people in the crowd rushed out together, and then pressed them all to the ground.
Among these people, a few were weak and slow to react, and were quickly knocked to the ground with a loud noise.
Three people did react, but one of them was carrying a sack, so even if he did, he couldn't react in time.
The other two people were different from these people. Their skills were obviously better than the others, so they immediately dodged the sneak attack and then fought with Lyle and Lake.
This was an arrest and it belonged to everyone, so the noise must not be small, so the outsiders upstairs who had already rested were woken up a lot.
After discovering that this was the noise coming from downstairs, except for those who were timid and those who had excellent sleep quality and were still immersed in sleep so far, anyone who was curious quietly started to mumble. Peering through the fence upstairs to watch.
What's more, someone simply went downstairs, but was soon stopped at the stairs.
"What happened?"
"Why did the fight start? It's so late at night, and you can't let anyone get a good night's sleep!"
"Tsk, now you see things are not simple. I still want to sleep, and I am not afraid of dying in bed."
"Hey, little brother, what's going on with these people?"
"Isn't this the inn boss? Why are you here? Tell me what happened!"
…
Someone recognized Yoe and saw him helping to stop people, so they could naturally guess that among the people fighting downstairs, there should also be people from the territory.
If it weren't for this, he wouldn't be watching here so calmly.
Even if you are worried about being accidentally injured and don't dare to step forward to break up the fight, you have to find a way to resolve the matter quickly, otherwise no one who is noisy in the middle of the night will be able to rest.
The reason why Yoe did not participate in the battle was because in the eyes of all outsiders, he was the owner of the inn. He was not suitable to join, which would only make these guests' imaginations wander.
What he needs to do now is to explain and appease the guests.
Youai: "Don't worry, these are just petty thieves. Because I discovered the problem, I found someone to stay here in advance, just waiting for them to reveal their tricks... In order not to be frightened, but also to To avoid alerting others, I didn’t mention it to outsiders.”
To prove his statement, Youai also pointed to the sacks on the ground: "These should be the stolen goods of this group. If they are not stolen goods, why would they sneak out of the territory with their things in the middle of the night?"
"In order to compensate for the impact everyone has suffered today, yesterday's room fee is free of charge. You can take your room card (i.e. room card) to me at the counter on the first floor to collect the money this morning!"
What Youai said was reasonable, and he also waived the room fee for one day, so everyone's inner balance naturally tilted towards Youai.
What's more, this group of people behaved strangely. Not only were they all dressed in black, but the strangest thing was that they didn't even wear shoes... Not only that, they also carried several sacks, which seemed like something that no normal person could do. Things come out!
Traveler A: "He is actually a thief? No! I have to go back and see if my things are missing!"
After one person said this, everyone else who had dropped off their luggage and left the inn today were startled, and then hurried back to their rooms.
"I have to go back and take a look too!"
"These guys who have been beaten a thousand times have no choice but to do such sneaky things."
…
Because of such words, more than half of the onlookers instantly disappeared, leaving only the last three or five scattered people.
After they left, the battle downstairs was basically decided.
