As the saying goes: Blessings come without pairs, and misfortunes never come singly.
Wang Xu's recent days are a good testimony to this sentence.
He told Master Cat about Ding Yao's attempted murder, but the other party's reaction was only one word: "Oh."
In fact, it is also true, on the one hand, because this guy never puts others in his eyes, and on the other hand, there are too many people who want to kill him. As the saying goes, there is no need to worry about debts, and it doesn't matter if there is one more Ding Yao.
Master Cat found a job for Wang Xu to take his foreign apprentice Albert to carry out the first mission.
"What's the mess, the inn? There are still inns these days?" Wang Xu was a little puzzled.
Master Mao still taught in a lecture tone: "Of course, so you young people don't care about social news and current affairs. This has become very popular in the past two years. Those hotels and guesthouses are for tour groups, and you really know how to play." Those who live here now stay in hotels when they travel.”
Wang Xu said disdainfully: "Cut... so what if you don't know? I don't want to know yet. People nowadays like to engage in so-called petty bourgeois sentiments when they have nothing to do. They don't stay in good hotels. If they go to the inn of the ancients, they won't be afraid of being caught in the summer." Mosquito bites to death. Or just sit in a coffee shop alone, order a cup of coffee to cover my food expenses for half a month, and then sigh there all afternoon and pretend to be depressed.”
Master Cat seemed to be in high spirits: "Hehe... It's rare for you to make some insightful remarks."
"That's... nerds are very insightful! And they don't pretend!"
Elbert, who was sitting next to him, knew that if these two chatted, it would take a long time to get back to the point, so he quickly stopped them: "You two, let's talk about this mission."
So Master Cat once again gave full play to his ability to simplify complicated events: "Oh, it's really nothing, it's just that a few guests who stayed there recently died strangely, probably like ghosts or something. You go tonight, and staying for a weekend can basically solve the problem."
Albert really believed it: "Okay, I understand."
Wang Xu looked at him and said five words: "You know what the hell..."
Albert's Chinese is average, and he doesn't quite understand the subtext of this sentence, so he looked at Wang Xu with questioning eyes.
Wang Xu said again: "I will teach you the first lesson now, that is, you must not believe what Master Cat said, you can only believe three points, and the remaining seven points are basically very serious things, and they are all taken by him." It was concealed, if you don't prepare for the worst, you will definitely be bullied by him... "
Master Cat listened to it and nodded: "It seems that you have indeed grown a lot."
"If you don't grow up, you will play to death sooner or later..."
…
That night, Wang Xu and the others came to the "Fengyun Inn" located in the outskirts of City S.
There are mountains, waters, and forests near this place. Although the mountains are not high, the water is not deep, and the forests are not dense, it was originally planned to be developed into a tourist area, but it was stopped halfway through the development. To put it nicely, it is the investors, the construction unit, and the city government. There are some contradictions that cannot be coordinated. To put it more bluntly, it can be summed up in the words "unequal distribution of spoils".
All in all, the project was stopped, and the relevant departments let it go. In the end, it was some private entrepreneurs who suffered the most. Those who opened hotels, restaurants, and several supermarket chain stores paid their land rent and built their houses. This is an open bow with no turning back.
In the end, some savvy person thought of a way and invested in a large amusement park nearby, which saved many people's lives at once.
City S is a city that is transforming from industry to commerce. Such a city is very expensive. It is impossible to have a large playground in the urban area. Even the carnival is at most once a year, so although this place is not as good as Disney, but not without business.
This day happened to be Friday. Although a lot of people died in this inn recently and it was published in the newspaper, it still didn't affect the business much. Wang Xu and the others came a bit late, and they almost ran out of rooms.
"There are only two rooms?" Wang Xu moved closer to the "treasurer" in front of the counter.
"I said guest officer, it's useless even if you stare at me. There are really only two private rooms."
Wang Xu has asked this for the third time, so he is not going to ask the fourth time. He looked back at Elbert and Yan Li: "Did you hear that, hahahaha! Did you hear that! I said Senior sister Yan, should you give up and go back now?"
Yan Li snorted coldly: "You don't need to say it, I will live here today, don't try to drive me away."
Elbert saw that the two were a little bit tense, and decided to smooth things over: "Brother Wang, let's squeeze together. It's also right for a lady to be modest."
"Why is it crowded? Both of them are single rooms. If you lie on the bed, you German tank, where will I sleep? Do you want to have sex with me too?"
Albert was speechless by what he said, well, we are asking for trouble, just shut up.
When Wang Xu said this, his face suddenly changed, and he showed a very evil smile: "Senior Yan, you can stay if you want. In my opinion, it's better for the two of us to sleep together..." This is Wang Xu One of his ultimate moves, playing hooligan, is actually pretending to be a hooligan, because he doesn't dare to do anything in essence... But today he met an opponent, and Yan Li was not afraid of him at all.
"Okay, let's get the key." Yan Li remained calm, took out her ID card from her wallet and handed it to the shopkeeper.
Albert was shocked by this scene, but after a few seconds, he returned to normal. The foreigner was more open-minded. He patted Wang Xu on the shoulder and showed a smile that any man could understand. Then he took his own key and went upstairs. In the eyes of the shopkeeper, Wang Xu didn't want to be a light bulb, but Wang Xu's real thought now was that he had fallen into a very embarrassing situation.
…
Ten minutes later, Wang Xu and Yan Li sat in the same room.
This room looks like a wooden structure, but in fact there is concrete behind the wooden boards, and there are also glass interlayers in the paper-pasted windows. As for the door, it looks like an ancient folding door. If you take a closer look, it is painted on the door panel That's all...
The furniture in the room basically follows this route. To say that this inn is really painstaking, not only to let you have the mood and illusion of living in ancient times, but also to let you enjoy the comfort of a modern hotel.
After a long silence, Wang Xu spoke first: "I think the sound insulation here is pretty good..." He seemed to be implying something.
"So what?" Yan Li still didn't agree with him.
"I like to sleep naked, do you know that?" Wang Xu still didn't give up.
"Oh? Then why did you say you slept in pajamas when I was hypnotizing you?"
"Damn! You even asked this kind of question! It's too tasteless!"
Yan Li's expression was always calm: "Actually, I didn't ask, I just tried to see if you were lying."
Wang Xu was momentarily speechless by what she said, so a new round of silence began.
In this way, a long time passed.
"I'm serious and solemn to tell you now that Albert and I didn't come here to play. This is a mission and it's very dangerous. Both me and him are likely to die, so you shouldn't come here at all."
"Master Cat has already told me this. I am an adult and can be responsible for my actions. Moreover, I have an obligation to look after my experimental materials."
"Do you know that your willful behavior is likely to drag us down, and do you know that you are likely to have an accident?"
Yan Li stared into his eyes, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it.
Wang Xu sighed and left with his luggage. In the end, he could only share a room with the German tanks.
Yan Li watched Wang Xu's back disappear at the door, she whispered the unspoken words: "If it was another you, he would definitely be able to protect me."
