Chapter 180: The change begins

Views:

Rumbling rumbling...

The thunder resounding through the world shocked the two groups inside and outside the door.

Xu Lang frowned and glanced back at the distant sky, which was covered with dark clouds and stretched for thousands of miles.

Heavy rain is coming.

"Dudiu?"

The woman inside the door called the dog's name while calming the trembling body, while the pair of dog eyes stared at Xu Lang fiercely.

As if Xu Lang is a monstrous beast, let him fear and tremble!

Wuming was also a little puzzled by the dog's performance, and he began to look at Xu Lang carefully.

The words of crows, dogs, and even the driver indicate something is wrong with Xu Lang.

However, after Wuming looked around, he didn't see anything unusual about Xu Lang.

If you have to say, where is the difference...

Was your waist a little bent

Wuming once again looked back at the situation of each executor. Everyone stood straight, because they were all waiting to enter the hotel.

Only Xu Lang...

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the proprietress to comfort the puppy, Wuming pressed Xu Lang's ear and asked, "Do you think there is something wrong?"

Xu Lang was also puzzled, why this dog was so hostile to him!

But Xu Lang immediately thought of the driver's words.

The crow would hover over his head and even drop crow dung, which means that some humans on his body can hardly smell the corpse.

If this is the case, it may not be an exaggeration for the dog to have such a reaction.

But Xu Lang didn't notice any abnormality in himself at all.

The only thing that is a bit uncomfortable is that the waist is a bit unable to straighten.

Xu Lang shook his head when he heard the nameless question, and was going to explore these for a while. The most important thing now is to quickly solve the problem of accommodation.

The proprietress had already hugged the puppy in her arms again, and her smart eyes under the white mask looked at Xu Lang.

Said carelessly, "Are you staying in a store?"

Xu Lang nodded: "Six people."

The proprietress walked inside and said: "There are a lot of spare rooms. One room is 500 per day, and each person pays a deposit of 200. If there is no damage after checking out, the full amount will be refunded to you. If you don't bargain, you can find another place if it is too expensive.

Xu Lang doesn't care about this, money is just a piece of waste paper for them, and now the most important thing has a place to stay.

"Then prepare six rooms for us."

Wuming waved his hand: "Five rooms, I live with you, and our room should be next to yours!"

Hearing this, the lady boss turned around and looked at Wuming, and asked uncertainly: "You two men share a room? Do you want to live next door to me?"

Xu Lang looked at Wuming with some confusion, but Wuming repeated it again without expression.

"He and I want to live next to your room!"

The proprietress sneered and took off the mask at will, revealing a beautiful and handsome face.

It seems that he is less than 30 years old, and his skin is well maintained. Although it is a bare face, it is also much more natural and beautiful with many urban beauties.

"Okay, then you can come with me."

As they were going upstairs, Rong Chuan and the others quit.

Stopping Xu Lang and Wuming from going up, they said, "No, we have to live in the same room with you!"

The lady boss finally became impatient, "Can you not delay my time, give you half a minute to discuss it, and then tell me. Also, even if the six of you only live in one room, you must count the money per head, don’t think about it. Take advantage of the loopholes."

After saying this, the proprietress walked up to the second floor holding the puppy.

Xu Lang looked at Rong Chuan with a cold face, his tone already a little impatient: "Why are you again?"

Rong Chuan's attitude is very tough: "I don't have anything to do with myself, but in our team, there are people like Gu Chunxia who are already old, and children like Huang Hui who have just grown up.

What's more, the mission hasn't started yet, so you don't want us to lose staff due to accidents. "

Xu Lang's expression was grim: "The mission hasn't started yet, what are you afraid of?"

Rong Chuan shook his head and said, "This is the first time we are performing our mission. We must make sure that we can do everything. Even if we can't live in one room, then please be sure to let the four of us live next door to you. ."

Xu Lang glanced at him and nodded.

The lady boss looked at the wall, touched the puppy's back, and glanced at Xu Lang and others who came up: "Did you discuss it?"

Xu Lang nodded, pointed to Wuming next to him and said, "He and I live next to you. The four people behind live next to us. Only two rooms will be available, but I will pay the price of six rooms. Pay you."

Then he took out a wad of banknotes from his arms, didn't count them, and stuffed them all into her.

Seeing the wad of money, the lady boss smiled openly and quickly counted it like a money fan.

The money, not to mention housing six people, even if it is enough to live sixty people.

Xu Lang interrupted the boss’s movements, "You take us to the house first."

Seeing the money, the proprietress' attitude suddenly became enthusiastic, "Guest officers, please come inside."

She opened a room with a wooden sliding door. There was a big bed, a wooden table and chairs. The space was not too big, but it was 30 square meters, enough for Xu Lang to live in.

Then the four of Rong Chuan were taken to the next room. The layout of the two rooms was similar. Although Rong Chuan and others lived in a little crowded, it is estimated that everyone would not sleep tonight at this time.

I can't care about these.

The proprietress arranged everyone and came to Xu Lang’s door and said to him: “After 11 o’clock in the evening, no one is allowed to leave the room, and no lights are allowed, don’t come to me, don’t walk around, go to the bathroom. Try to solve it before then."

Xu Lang didn't quite understand this when he heard this, "What do you mean by this?"

The boss's voice started to be a little deep, she wanted to say something, but shook her head, closed the door of the room, and turned to leave.

Xu Lang and Wuming glanced at each other. Could it be that...

They didn't dare to think further, after all, it was not yet the mission time at this time, but there was already a supernatural phenomenon.

The safety period that Xu Lang originally thought was not that simple.

He turned his head to look at Wuming: "Why do you live next door to the boss?"

Anonymous motioned to Xu Lang in a low voice. He pressed his ear to the wall, closed his eyes and listened carefully.

After a long time, he whispered to Xu Lang:

"This woman is unusual, deep in the mountains and old forests, and she opened a shop alone. I think it's abnormal. My dog found the strangeness of the customer, but didn't even ask a question. Don't you think something is wrong?"

When Xu Lang heard this, he would remember the question unknown to him before.

Xu Lang took down the backpack, put it on the ground, stood up, stretched out and felt very comfortable.

"I think my bag is getting heavier and heavier. I thought it was because of the long flight and car rides, but the development of things to this stage, I am afraid that I can't allow me to think about it."

Then Xu Lang opened the backpack, and the weird black scarecrow appeared impressively.

Xu Lang took it in his hand, but felt that it was no longer as light as it was at the beginning, but heavy, as if it was filled with water.

He put the scarecrow in front of the nameless, "You pick it up and see if the weight has changed?"

The unknown general Xu Lang's scarecrow was held in his hand and looked up and down.

"There is no change, it feels the same as before."

Xu Lang frowned and said in a low voice, "No, I feel completely different from the previous weight. It looks like it's ten pounds heavier."

He carefully began to look at the scarecrow again.

The scarecrow's dark eyes were also staring at Xu Lang.

It seemed to be looking at him.

What is even more weird is that Xu Lang has a more sense of looking at himself in his heart.

As the scarecrow's weight increased, his feelings became stronger.

What kind of role does this scarecrow play in this mission!

Xu Lang put it on the table and said to Wuming: "You said, the smell of dead bodies on my body is related to this scarecrow?"

Wuming also took out his scarecrow from his bag.

What is completely different from Xu Lang is that the scarecrow in his hand has not changed at all. Although the shape is also strange, the weight is still very light.

"I don't know, but your scarecrow has indeed become heavier. Maybe the strange behavior of crows and dogs may be related to it.

But..."

Xu Lang hurriedly leaned his body and asked: "But what?"

Anonymous looked at Xu Lang and said quietly, "But I don't know whether the weird situation now is the change of the scarecrow or yours!"

Of course Xu Lang understands the meaning of unnamed words.

His words point to two conjectures.

One is that the smell of dead corpses is emitted by the scarecrow, and the changes are also changed by the scarecrow over time;

The other situation is even more complicated. The current anomalies are due to Xu Lang's own strange and unknown changes. The smell of dead corpses is basically from him! And it was Xu Lang's change that affected the Scarecrow.

Because, it is now basically certain that the Scarecrow is the stand-in for the executors!

Xu Lang fumbled with the scarecrow on the table, full of thoughts.

This strange feeling of inexplicability is the most tormenting.

But they didn't have any clues now, they couldn't explore them at all, let alone stop them.

Xu Lang sighed and said to Wuming: "Can you hear what the lady boss next door is doing?"

Wuming shrugged, "I was watching a variety show, and I could even hear her hearty laughter."

Xu Lang gave a bitter smile, no longer thinking, turned around and lay down, closing his eyes to rest.

I don't know how long it took, and suddenly I heard a click!

The lights in the corridor outside the door were all extinguished in an instant, and there was a faint gleam in the nameless eyes across the door panel.

His eyes are special, and he can see things in the night.

Xu Lang also sat up nervously, watching the nameless movement.

Wuming looked at the opened door and was about to stick his head out, but suddenly he heard footsteps from the stairs far away.

Kick and kick, mechanical repetition, in the middle of the night, this sound sounds strange.

Wuming and Xu Lang felt cold at the same time, and it was now 11:05.

The lady boss said that the rule here after eleven o'clock is not to go out.

So on the stairs, who is the person who is about to come to the second floor? (End of this chapter)
