There seemed to be quite a few people staying in the inn, and even late at night, some strange rustling sounds could still be heard.
However, it was not clear what the situation in other rooms was like, but Li Zhengyi and the others were sleeping very soundly.
One person fell asleep early because he was bored by the low-level magic sound, and the other person fell asleep while dreaming because he talked too much.
Judging from the smile on the corner of his mouth, it is very likely that he is also in a sweet dream now.
However, no matter how energetic a person is, there will be times when he feels sleepy and falls asleep.
I don’t know when, but I gradually stopped hearing sounds in the inn.
In this silent night, even the sound of the wind became cautious.
"Cha... Cha... Cha..."
Also undetectable, there were some faint sounds that penetrated into the house through the gaps in the wooden door.
It was very small at first and had little impact on people, but later it became bigger.
Anyway, for Li Zhengyi, the sound was relatively loud.
The originally sweet dream was ruined, and his brows gradually wrinkled in his sleep.
"Cha... Cha... Cha..."
The sound became louder and louder, like the sound of heavy footsteps dragging on the floor.
After a while, Li Zhengyi, who was asleep on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes.
First he touched the spear lying beside him, then he raised his ears and listened carefully.
"Kacha...kacha...kacha..."
He heard it, the voice was still there. However, the sound of shuffling footsteps before became like the sound of a dull knife chopping hard bones.
The room was pitch dark, and even with his extraordinary eyesight, he could only see a rough outline.
On the other side of the wooden bed, Zhang Daniu was lying flat on his back near the corner, as if he wanted to draw a bit of coolness from the wall to make the sultry night less uncomfortable.
After looking around the room, he looked outside the door. The sound came from outside the door.
But through the silhouette in the moonlight, Li Zhengyi did not see anyone or anything outside the door.
"Kacha... Kacha... Kacha..."
The weird sound was still ringing continuously. After Li Zhengyi stared at the door for a while, he decided to ignore it.
He thought that one thing was better than one thing less, and there were some things that he felt would be difficult to deal with even if he encountered them.
But if you want to continue sleeping and dreaming sweetly, that's not possible.
What if he falls asleep and something making a noise outside the door sneaks in?
"Click... click... squeak~"
I originally thought that I might just listen to that strange sound all night, but just when Li Zhengyi became a little sleepy and was about to fall asleep.
Suddenly I heard the sound outside the door change, like the sound of opening the door?
No, it’s next door!
It was Li Zhengyi's three men who lived next door. At this time, he could no longer wait.
He jumped out of bed with the spear in hand, turned over and sat up.
"Daniu, light the lamp."
Zhang Daniu didn't sleep too hard. The sound of Li Zhengyi getting up almost woke him up from his stupor.
Coupled with a shout, he immediately climbed out of bed.
"Clang."
Because of his haste, Li Zhengyi kicked the stool against the door aside.
Then he opened the door and jumped out.
Looking around, I saw that the corridor was empty, not a single person in sight.
Oops!
However, he clearly discovered that the door to the next door was really open.
With almost no hesitation, Li Zhengyi walked directly to the door and rushed in with his gun raised.
"Captain, what's wrong?"
At this moment, Zhang Daniu behind him also came in holding an oil lamp.
The dim light shone on the bed, revealing only two figures. Near the door, the bed was empty.
"what happened?"
Without Li Zhengyi's reminder, Zhang Daniu quickly stepped forward to wake up the other two people.
"Wake up, Xiao Chen, Xu Dabao, wake up quickly."
The two of them were woken up quickly, and when they noticed the scene, they were also shocked.
"Captain, why did you get in?"
Li Zhengyi had just looked inside the room. Both the door and the windows were in good condition, and the environment inside the room did not seem to show signs of struggle.
"Where's Lao Liu? Didn't I ask you to sleep with the door propped up?"
"Ah? Where is Mr. Liu?"
After discovering that Liu Sangou was missing, Xu Dabao and Xiao Chen, who were sleeping in the bed, also became panicked.
After Li Zhengyi asked a few more questions, he couldn't help but feel speechless.
"...Lao Liu said that he slept lightly at night and was fine at all, so he didn't deserve it..."
As long as these guys can do what they say, it is very likely that the current situation will not happen.
But what to do now? ?
Everyone was gone, so of course I had to look for them.
And since Li Zhengyi got up as soon as he heard the sound of the door opening, even if there was something, it should be unlikely to disappear so quickly.
And he also carried a living person weighing more than 100 kilograms.
"Give me the light. I'll go down to the first floor and take a look first. The three of you stay together and look around on the second floor. Remember, the three of you must stay together."
"Captain, I'll go with you."
"Need not."
After taking the oil lamp from Zhang Daniu's hand, Li Zhengyi went out directly and walked along the corridor towards the stairs.
The commotion they made here was not small, and Li Zhengyi noticed that there were already people talking and discussing in some rooms around him.
Even the lights in some rooms were turned on, but no one came out.
Maybe most of the people living here are businessmen coming and going. Without figuring out the reason, they were worried about getting into trouble, so no one came out to check or help.
However, you are polite and don't rush, but the manager of this inn is different.
When Li Zhengyi just walked to the stairs holding the oil lamp.
At the counter on the first floor, the waiter was holding a newly lit candlestick, ready to come up and check it out.
It seems that the waiter is a relatively alert young man. After all, Li Zhengyi and his room are on the second floor, and they have to turn down a corridor.
The sound shouldn't have been loud enough to reach here. Even so, the waiter in the shop was able to discover the problem so quickly and take action, which can be considered a quick response.
"This guest...boss, what are you doing? What's going on up there?"
Even with the lighted candlestick in his hand, after getting closer, the waiter discovered that the person coming down the stairs was the most special person among the officials he had seen during the day.
And according to his impression, this young man wearing sunglasses seemed to be the head of several other people.
It's just that the current situation is like this, but I don't know why.
The waiter at the shop had some bad premonitions...
