Under the leadership of Wang Taidi and Qi Ning, the four people walked to the only hotel in the town.
The hotel is similar to the rest of the town. The old neon signs are no longer lit, and there is thick dust on them. If you don’t look carefully, you can’t tell what it says.
Entering the hotel, it was dark inside.
The wattage of the electric lights is very low, many of them have gone on strike, the ground is covered with dust, and there is no cleaning staff at all.
There is also a smell of the old house in the air, and the overall atmosphere makes people feel very uncomfortable.
The phone in the hotel is still the old dial dial type.
In view of the degree of closure of the information and town information previously seen, it does not seem to be in contact with the outside world at all, Xiao Lan suspects that this call may not be able to make a call at all.
Xiao Lan and the four were about to go upstairs, but there was a very unceremonious voice next to them.
"Hey, you foreigners come here to register." The voice sounded very rude and lacking service spirit.
They looked towards the source of the sound and found that it was coming from the gloomy front desk.
There was a chubby old man sitting at the front desk of the hotel.
His hair is sparse, his face is full of spots, and like the people in town, he also has a disability.
One eye of the old man was dug out, leaving only an empty hole, his left hand was also twisted, his palm bent in a strange direction.
"This person is the owner of the hotel." Wang Teddy explained softly to Xiao Lan and Luo.
The innkeeper stared at them with the same eyes as the others in the town, in a posture that he could pounce on them at any time.
It seems that even the people who open the door to do business in the small town of Mona are still unfriendly to outsiders.
He patted the desktop heavily: "Register! Every foreigner must register! The two newcomers are no exception for you."
Luo stepped forward and started registering the two.
This registration is very perfunctory, just write down who you are and why you are here. You can make up your own.
So Luo also showed off his random fabrication skills along the way.
When registering in Luo, Xiao Lan took the opportunity to ask: "Do all the foreign tourists live with you?"
The boss glanced at him: "Hmph, it's all here with me. It's all the stench from you on my site. There is no sign of faith in you. Why can Sara always pay attention to you hypocritical foreigners? ."
Xiao Lan caught the key word: "Signs of faith?"
The boss pointed to his empty eyes: "This is a gift sacrificed to Sara."
He pointed to his twisted arm again: "This is a symbol of pious belief. But you strangers, who are longing for Sarah, always do nothing, a group of liars full of lies."
Xiao Lan asked, "Are all foreigners coming to Sarah?"
The boss's complexion was distorted: "Hehe, who knows what purpose you foreigners have."
Xiao Lan wanted to ask again, but the boss roughly interrupted him: "Go away, don't try to get news of Sara from me! Sara won't accept you! He will only merge with us! !!!"
Xiao Lan frowned slightly.
It seems that the reason why people here reject outsiders is because they are afraid they will compete for Sara's attention
How does it feel that there is a subtle atmosphere of competition
In fact, he didn't want to blend in with this kind of unidentified thing at all.
You worry too much.
At this time, Luo finished the registration information and interrupted the boss.
The boss took what Luo wrote, and after reading it for a long time, he didn't understand what is called "a journey of soul salvation in search of artistic inspiration" and "people always have to fight for lofty ideals".
The boss scratched his sparse head, and didn't want to show his ignorance in front of strangers.
He didn't ask too much, put away the register and said: "Okay, you can get out, don't bother me if you have anything. The hotel will provide you with food and beverages, and they will be delivered directly to your room door."
Xiao Lan asked: "What is the delivery time?"
The boss's tone was irritable: "When will I prepare and when I will give you food, there is no restaurant here for you to enjoy. We don't like to gather like you strangers."
—
Four people came upstairs.
The corridors were full of closed doors, without any movement coming out of them.
Qi Ning and Wang Taidi booked a room for Xiao Lan, but they had a separate room. The rooms of several people were connected together. Once something happened, it was very easy to support each other.
Xiao Lan and Luo walked into their room.
The room is still so broken that you can see the street view next to it from the seam on the wall.
An eye-shaped totem is drawn on one side of the wall. The totem looks like looking at the room, with the words "Here is watched by Sarah" beside it.
Xiao Lan looked at that eye: "It's really uncomfortable."
Luo approached the totem on the wall and reached out and touched it: "I didn't feel the energy fluctuations. This is just a normal graffiti. If it feels uncomfortable, I can change this pattern."
Xiao Lan looked at her boyfriend's smiling face.
After thinking about it again, he was bold and bold in his madness, revealing his unruly style in his madness.
If you open your eyes and look at Luo's paintings, you might as well look at this thing. Anyway, you have spicy eyes. At least you can see what the thing is painting.
Xiao Lan shook her head: "No."
He walked forward and pulled a cabinet with his bare hands to block the totem.
Luo sighed with regret, when will the husband appreciate his art
Suddenly, their eyes turned to the window at the same time.
At this time, the sky was a bit dim, but the surrounding mountain fire still illuminated the sky red.
Against this background, a head dropped on the window of their room, looking at them with a malicious smile.
Perceiving the sight of the two of them, the prying head is not in a hurry.
He lipped at the two of them: hehe... stranger...
Then he tried to leave upwards.
Xiao Lan rushed to the window in one step, just to see a long neck connected to the back of this head.
The neck was stretched out of the building next to it, and it was growing on a body. Judging from the clothes on the body, this should also be a resident of a small town.
The man over there retracted his neck, twisted his head, and walked into the house humming a weird song.
He doesn't seem to worry about being beaten up by social people at all, or that for him, monitoring these strangers is the most important thing.
Luo moved his finger: "Do you want to deal with it? Sir."
Xiao Lan shook her head: "Their surveillance seems to be ubiquitous. It doesn't make much sense to deal with one or two. Moreover, looking at the mental state of the residents of the town, I suspect that if we have any movement, they will directly attack us. It’s better not to stimulate them for the time being."
Of course, say another word when it's time to stimulate.
Xiao Lan frowned slightly: "But... they really don't look like people anymore. Maybe after staying here for a long time, we might become like this."
Luo said: "All those who are eligible to enter here are top advanced players. According to your physique, the speed of being changed should be very slow."
Xiao Lan nodded, temporarily suppressing the anxiety in her heart.
Wang Ke is a very powerful group of advanced players, and he is also a strong melee. Although he is restrained due to his skills, he should not be easily assimilated.
Before you actually see him, it's better not to guess too much.
This is nothing but annoying.
—
After that, a few people came to Wang Teddy's room to discuss what's going on.
So far they have not found the main line of the song of Sarah, and the game prompts are also very vague. It is not easy to find Wang Ke's trace.
Xiao Lan compared the data in the hands of the next few people: "The news we have are all the same, and they don't point to any exact location. Where is Teddy?"
Wang Taidi shook his head: "Because of the unstable mental state, Brother Tao can't tell where my brother disappeared. I tried many times, but he couldn't describe it completely. He only knew that there were many monsters. And I I suspect that my brother might not stay where he was attacked."
It seems that they still have to look for clues by themselves.
Wang Taidi said: "Since Brother Tao mentioned the altar before, it is better for us to find news about this altar first, find the [Stone of Forgiveness] first, and leave a way for ourselves to leave."
Qi Ning turned his head to face Wang Teddy: "You are so calm, but I am surprised that you have grown up."
Wang Teddy smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly: "I learned later that emotions will not bring any help. The more calm I am, the closer I will be to my goal."
He is the most urgent person among several people to find Wang Ke, even he has suppressed such emotions for a long time.
But Wang Teddy is also very clear that the more critical the time comes, the less he can make mistakes.
He didn't hope that in the end, it was himself who caused all efforts to fail.
At this time, there was a "bang" sound of heavy objects falling outside the door.
Then there was a man shouting, the content of the shouting was all incoherent gibberish, making the content unclear.
Several people looked at each other and opened the door.
In the corridor, a closed room door opened.
A man with a beard half-length came out of the door, rolling on the ground.
He did not dislike the dirt on the floor at all, crying and rolling. He can't see the original color of his clothes anymore. I don't know if it was caused by not washing for too long or rolling too much.
But this man did not have any disability, nor could he see physical alienation like other residents in the town.
Following the man's movements, Xiao Lan saw clearly the reason for his rolling.
A knife was pierced into his thigh, and blood was gurgling out from the wound, which looked deeply pierced.
But the man's reaction was weird. He looked at his wound, his hands trembling, as if he wanted to pull the knife out, and he seemed to want to pierce it deeper.
"He... He... Sara... will see my piety..." He stopped tumbling, reaching out and holding the hilt of the knife.
But he seemed to hesitate again, his arm shaking more and more severely, but he couldn't continue the movement afterwards.
It seemed that such hesitation made him feel very ashamed, and the man cried abruptly, covering his face: "Um... ah... ooh..."
The howling sound reverberated in the corridor, a bit harsh, and the listener was very irritable.
But the other rooms in the corridor were still quiet, and apart from Xiao Lan, no one was interested in taking a look.
The man cried for a while, then tried to reach out and hold the knife again.
His actions were repeated, and his emotions rose with the momentary depression of the actions, and he looked crazy.
Like a neuropathy.
But this person is the most different person they saw after entering the town.
He seems to be less enthusiastic about Sarah than others, at least he will hesitate when he is self-harming, unlike other people who look obsessed and excited.
Xiao Lan tried to talk to him: "Hello..."
The man didn't respond to his words, just immersed in his own world and cried and laughed.
But in the end he still didn't continue to stab the knife.
When he finally got tired from crying, he moved his body and crawled back to his room with blood stains.
During the whole process, his eyes were not distributed to the few people who were watching, as if they were all wall pillars.
"Dad won't talk to you." At this time, the soft but non-ups and downs of the child's voice sounded.
A pale little girl came out from the shadow behind the door.
She looked normal, physically intact, without disability, and no alienation, and even her mental condition was better than that of the man just now.
Xiao Lan asked: "Why do you say that?"
The little girl said: "Daddy has only Sarah in his eyes. He came after Sarah's singing."
Xiao Lan looked at her: "Pursuing? Did you come from other places?"
The little girl was still expressionless: "We lived in other towns before. One day my father said he heard Sara’s singing and he wanted to chase the most beautiful singing in the world, so he brought me here, but what about me? I can't hear it either."
Xiao Lan confirmed again: "Are all foreigners living here?"
The girl nodded.
"Daddy thinks about Sarah all day and doesn't play with me. He and the people in this town are becoming more and more alike." The girl's tone was a little cold, "He will become a lunatic sooner or later."
Xiao Lan met the little girl's gloomy eyes: "Don't you want to leave here?"
The girl shook her head: "Dad won't leave."
Xiao Lan suddenly pointed to Wang Teddy and asked, "Have you ever seen another brother who looks a little like this brother? He has short hair."
The little girl looked at Wang Teddy carefully, then nodded in the other's nervous eyes.
Wang Teddy asked quickly: "Then do you know where he went?"
The little girl reached out to Xiao Lan's rooms and said softly: "The strangers who live in your rooms will disappear, and so will he."
After speaking, the little girl reached out and closed the door.
Several people stood in the corridor and fell into a brief silence.
After a while, Xiao Lan said: "She should mean that players who enter will be arranged in these rooms. No matter whether they succeed in the contract or fail in the end, naturally they will never live here again."
"Yeah." Wang Teddy nodded, he smiled and enlivened the atmosphere, "At least it means we didn't come to the wrong place."
At this time, a heavy figure of the hotel owner appeared in the corridor.
He carried a basket, and rudely tossed the lunch box in his hand at the door of different rooms. Apparently these rooms were occupied.
As he walked, the boss cursed and expressed his dissatisfaction with these strangers.
When he saw Xiao Lan and a few people standing in the corridor, his face was even more sinking.
He directly threw the four lunch boxes at the feet of a few people: "Huh, restless strangers, what are you planning for?"
Without waiting for a few people to answer, he kept walking away.
It's like staying with them for a while and you will be contaminated: "When you look at you, you know that you are the most restless... The more restless, the faster you die..."
When the boss's figure disappeared at the other end of the corridor, Wang Teddy reached out and picked up a lunch box, opened it and took a look.
"..." He fell into a weird silence.
Qi Ning next to him also glanced: "..."
Attracted by their reaction, Xiao Lan moved in and took a look: "..."
Seeing Xiao Lan in the dark cooking world was silent, Luo couldn't help but look over: "..."
The language system of the four people fell into a short period of stagnation.
Because the things in this box are beyond the scope of dark cuisine to be honest.
Dark cooking is still cooking, but what are these things
Dried mice, muddy eyes of unknown creatures, and skinned toad sashimi. The side dish is a yellow-brown mushy bean.
Wang Teddy, who was face to face with the toad, looked unlovable: "... Isn't this too exciting?"
Qi Ning laughed lowly: "Hehe, I really want to dissect their biological structure..."
Xiao Lan asked a tricky question: "Will they not be constipated if they eat this way?"
Wang Teddy closed the demon box and suggested: "Let's go to the kitchen and do it ourselves. Although it's okay to not eat for a few days, the game has just begun, so there is no need to treat yourself like this."
Xiao Lan nodded: "Okay, luckily I can cook."
Luo Luo looked at her husband in an incredible way. Where did this confidence come from? !
Wang Taidi's eyes turned into horror, and he quickly said, "No, no, no... Um... let me come and let you see the results of my practice during this period of time."
The fear once dominated by Xiao Lan's cooking skills resurfaced in his heart. He didn't want to recall the experience of jumping up and down in hell at all.
Qi Ning, who had never been poisoned by Xiao Lan, turned to Wang Teddy without knowing it—
Why is his eyes full of thirst for survival
