Green Shade Hotel
As there has been no one to maintain and manage it for many years, there is only one guest in the entire hotel, Yi Chen.
but,
Yi Chen didn't care about such dirt and mess. He had lived in even worse places when he was in an orphanage... Even though there was a smell mixed in the damp bedding, it still didn't affect his sleep.
However,
The first night's sleep was not particularly smooth.
It's not that Yi Chen himself has trouble sleeping.
Instead, it was a slight noise coming from outside the house that caused the plants in his body to become active, stimulating his brain and bringing him back to reality from his deep sleep.
When you open your eyes,
I actually saw green sprouts floating on the surface of my arm.
"The plants in my body are giving me warnings?"
Just then,
Squeak~
There was a slight sound of wooden boards scraping against each other outside the door, which was obviously not coming from the boss.
"I am the only guest in the hotel.
There are two possibilities for making such a sound.
One is the younger sister who is imprisoned in the guest room at the end, and the other is an uninvited guest from outside the hotel. "
Considering the incident of pushing the sheriff into the lake, there was a certain possibility that trouble would come his way.
but,
Yi Chen had no intention of getting up. Instead, he hid the silver axe under the quilt and continued pretending to sleep.
If you rashly rush out of the room to check the situation, you may be trapped in the hotel room.
In contrast,
This enclosed and familiar room, with its windows to the outside world at all times, is available.
The sound coming from the corridor was small.
But in the silent night, you can hear it clearly, and you can probably imagine that it is the sound of something sharp scraping against the wooden floor.
soon,
The sound of movement stopped in front of the door and was replaced by a metallic sound similar to prying a lock.
Card~The old door lock was easily opened.
A dark figure with feminine curves was standing outside the door.
She slid her slender fingers into her mouth, dipped them in the slippery saliva on her tongue, and smeared them on the rusty surface of the door hinge.
The amount of saliva was so great that it slid down the door hinges and onto the ground.
When the door shaft is fully lubricated,
The door was slowly opened without making any sound.
As soon as I stepped through the door,
The black shadow flipped over and jumped up, climbing onto the ceiling like a gecko... The mucus covering her body seemed to be able to easily adhere to the wall.
In the blink of an eye,
She had already climbed from the door to the top of Yi Chen's bed.
The black crystal-like eyes stared at the strange guest in the inn.
The drooping black hair fell on the side of the young man's face and remained still.
Maybe it's because of my love for this handsome face.
Maybe I'm just hungry.
Tick-tick~
A drop of saliva fell on the quilt covering Yi Chen's neck.
This staring lasted for a full five minutes.
It is basically certain that the young man on the bed is completely asleep.
The shadow continued to crawl.
Climbing from the ceiling to the vertical wall at the head of the bed, getting closer and closer to the sleeping young man.
When the distance is one meter,
A tongue that was beyond ordinary people stretched out from the mouth and gently licked the young man's face.
At the same time,
Yi Chen has already gripped the silver axe tightly and calmed his mind.
"Wait! This is not the best time yet."
If the target came any closer or did anything harmful, he would instantly open his eyes and chop off his head with one blow.
After a licking,
The shadow has a tendency to crawl.
The opportunity that Yi Chen has been waiting for is about to come.
tread!
The situation was suddenly broken by the sound of leather shoes.
At the same time, there was also the boss's scolding voice, which he tried to suppress as much as possible.
"Kadaisi, stop it!
This is one of our rare guests, so don't disturb his rest... As long as you don't receive clear instructions, just live your life as usual.
If you are hungry, I will bring you a fish later."
The whispered scolding made the black shadow stunned,
She no longer had any thoughts about the young man on the bed. She slowly moved her body upwards, like a child who had done something wrong, and crawled back to the door with her head buried.
Wait until my sister leaves the dormitory completely,
The boss was still standing at the door, staring at the sleeping Yi Chen, as if confirming something... About a minute later, he gently closed the door.
Card~
I heard the door lock.
The air that was squeezing his heart was exhaled quickly, and the palm holding the axe handle was covered in sweat.
"What on earth is this..."
At this time,
I felt an itchy sensation on my cheek that had just been licked, and when I touched it, I actually felt some fish scales growing there.
Yi Chen was not in a hurry.
After waiting for a while, he quietly went to the bathroom.
Mirror room,
Tiny, shiny scales are scattered on both sides of the cheeks, and they appear to be continuing to grow and spread.
Just when Yi Chen was considering how to deal with it and whether to pull it out forcefully,
Crunch! Crunch!
Young plant sprouts grew from the inner layer of the cheeks, pushing out the fish scales rooted in the facial skin, causing them to fall off one after another.
"Hmm? Are the diseased characteristics in my body rejecting the infection from the outside world?"
Just then,
The little grape on the shoulder poked its head out and commented on what had just happened in the room:
“It’s strange ~ He actually left without attacking you.
It should be difficult for a "parasitic disease" like this to have "self-awareness", let alone when the target is right in front of it... It can actually rely on consciousness to curb the infection of living things.
This pair of siblings in the hotel seems to be quite special.
Their 'grapes' might be delicious."
Yi Chen didn't say much. After making sure that all the scales on his face had fallen off, he returned to bed.
Thinking about what just happened, I fell asleep again unknowingly.
…
Dong Dong Dong!
A knock on the door woke Yi Chen up again. It was already the second day, and the sunlight was shining on him through the window.
Dragging the heavy brain to open the door,
The one knocking on the door was the innkeeper.
He was holding a whole roasted fish in his hand. Although it didn't look good, it exuded a rich aroma.
“This is a complimentary lunch.
Just to remind you, it's almost noon, if you are really here to investigate, hurry up."
"Um."
Yi Chen, who took the lunch, chose to pick the fish's eyes and feed them to Xiao Pu Tao first.
"This fish is 'clean', just eat it."
Only after getting the inspection report from Little Grape did I feel confident using it.
By the time I felt full and changed into beautiful clothes, it was already afternoon.
At this time, the Green Lake area is offering free lake tours to tourists.
When Yi Chen arrived at the lakeside, it was already crowded with townspeople and tourists.
"It's so lively... It seems that everyone is actively investigating the secrets of the town."
There was a long queue at the boat boarding point.
Yi Chen could only stand obediently at the back.
Who knows,
A familiar voice came from behind.
"Oh, are we late? There are already so many people queuing up... Eh~ What a coincidence?"
Blond Edmund and his two teammates also arrived at this time.
"Um."
Yi Chen just responded lightly without even turning his head.
Edmund didn't make any trouble or force anything, and he didn't talk to anyone during the queue, just chatting casually with his companions.
There is another detail.
Edmund took the initiative to approach and chat with some tourists who were returning from boating on the lake, and made physical contact with them such as shaking hands or putting his arm around their shoulders.
This seemingly normal action,
In fact, the purpose is to check whether these tourists are infected in order to determine the danger of lake cruise activities.
When Edmund returned to the team, he whispered, deliberately letting Yi Chen hear, "There shouldn't be any danger in the lake cruise, just enjoy it."
Coincidentally,
The boat for lake cruises can carry four people, and it was just the four of them's turn.
Yi Chen was forced to board a pedal boat with the group of people. The boat was simply painted white.
There was also a male personnel standing on the boat. He was wearing green work clothes, rain boots and had a dull look in his eyes... He was not the same person that Yi Chen saw last night.
“Please remember four points before you set out.
1. Everyone needs to participate in pedaling.
2. If you hear someone shouting who is not on the boat while you are on the lake, please do not respond.
3. Never touch the lake water.
4. In the event of a fall into the water, this vessel will not provide rescue and will leave quickly.
