The chunky old man on TV is about forty or fifty years old. Just as Hao Ren guessed, he is a local. His family lives on the edge of Broussard town. His name is Angus, and the person who first discovered that the castle was haunted and spread the news was this fat uncle who seemed simple and honest, with a bit of a shrewd businessman. The interview was still going on, Hao Ren's full attention was already attracted by the news, he didn't even notice that Lily next to him was scratching him with her paws: the werewolf girl couldn't understand a word, and now she was gradually falling into a manic state.
"... I was tidying up the room on the second floor that day, and it was night," Angus said, flushing in front of the camera, exuberantly excited to tell a haunted story, the latest of which made his small hotel famous , it turned out to be a good thing for him, "My hotel is on the edge of the town, 'Angus' Cottage', it must be the first thing you see when you come from the highway, it has a row of windows at the back It was facing the direction of the ancient castle, but it was far away, and the stones could not be seen clearly with the naked eye—but that night, I saw the direction of the castle burning into the sky from behind the window! There were no forests or houses there, only A pile of rocks, I don't know what is on fire, but I still called 999..." "Did many people see the fire at that time?" The hostess asked next to prevent this Mr. Angus Taking the topic too far - the latter obviously wants to stay in front of the camera for a while, and the nonsense is endless.
"Yes, many people. I saw that many windows in the town facing the direction of the castle were lit," Angus nodded, "and it was confirmed that many people saw the fire light the next day. But at that time it It only 'burned' for more than ten minutes, and then nothing could be seen as if it disappeared suddenly. The forest fire brigade rushed to nothing. They said that there was only a pile of dry and cold stones there, but I confirmed that I did not report a false alarm. I An honest businessman, 'Angus' Cottage' has been in business for so many years with honesty... ”
"I heard that you drove here to see the situation in person later?" The hostess hurriedly brought the topic back.
"Yes, I have been here many times since then, especially at night," Angus finally showed a little fear on his face at this time, "Then I met those strange things, there were soldiers in full-body armor Swaggering past my car lights, there was a strange shouting sound, the car turned off inexplicably, and a voice with a very strange accent was heard on the car radio... It was terrible." The hostess withdrew the microphone and faced the camera: " The 'haunted stories' of Broussard are now spreading more and more intensely, more and more supernatural lovers and adventurers are flocking to this town, and professional scholars who study electromagnetism, geology, etc. are also interested in this place... "
Hao Ren was no longer interested in listening to what was being said later. Basically, he was calling on everyone to believe in science while talking nonsense about haunting events. Hao Ren turned off the TV casually, and put his fist on his chin like a contemplative man in a daze. .
Lily finally became completely manic, jumped onto the sofa and scratched Hao Ren's shoulder vigorously: "Landlord, what was on TV just now?"
"Our 'new friend'..." Hao Ren said in a heavy tone, "Nine times out of ten it is a ghost. Remember the haunting incident in the old castle that Mr. Nangong said? It was mentioned on TV just now. If it weren't for the locals forming a group Fooling foreign tourists, it must have something to do with the 'newcomer' arranged by Raven 12345. Tsk tsk, why is this such a troublesome guy?"
Vivian didn't understand what was said on TV either, but she could see the battle on TV: "Wait, if you put it this way... there should be a lot of people around that Yofold Castle now! And everyone is here Looking for ghosts in that area?!"...
"Yeah, I'm in serious trouble," Hao Ren sighed, "What I'm most afraid of is attracting attention. God knows if the new guy will be as easy to deal with as you... Well, I mean general knowledge, if someone doesn't care I don’t care about Lengtouqing, it’s absolutely hilarious.”
Lily squatted on the sofa and tilted her head thinking for a long time, then suddenly patted her paw: "I'm sleepy, I want to sleep."
After saying this, the werewolf girl swaggered towards the room under Hao Ren and Vivienne's stunned gazes. It wasn't until she slammed the door shut that the two of them realized: The jet lag of these two guys still hasn't reversed, and now the sky is bright outside , but it was already time for her to go to bed at night.
"I'm a little sleepy too." The drowsiness was contagious. Seeing Lily go back to the room to sleep, Hao Ren's accumulated tiredness also spread. "I'll go back to the room to sleep for a while, aren't you sleepy?"
"My schedule is different from yours." Vivian shrugged, "And in order to coordinate with your schedule during the few days at your house, my biological clock has been messed up. Anyway, I am not sleepy now."
"Alright, I'll go back to sleep. If you don't wake up at night, you can wake me up. Let's go down to eat. That guy Lily won't be able to wake up. She's sleeping too—bring her something to eat." Hao Ren said as he stretched and walked towards his room. In the end, only Vivienne was left in the living room in a daze. The vampire girl looked at Lily's door, feeling extremely sad: It's not easy to go out, today In the evening, she is about to sleep with a big dog in a nest...
Hao Ren fell asleep until eight or nine o'clock in the evening local time. Vivienne said that she didn't feel like going in and disturbing him because she saw him sleeping too soundly. Lily's side was just as Hao Ren judged: she didn't plan to fall at all. The jet-lagged werewolf slept extremely soundly, and even Vivian didn't respond as she walked around beside her.
Because there is still something to do early tomorrow morning, Hao Ren and Vivienne went to the restaurant downstairs to eat something casually and then went back to the room. The few convenience foods brought to her were placed on the low table next to Lily's bed, and then he went back to his room to rest. He vowed to adjust the jet lag by sleeping hard in one day. Vivian, a vampire's work and rest habits are different from those of humans, and she messed up her biological clock at Hao Ren's house, so she didn't feel sleepy until midnight—well, it must be already here. Someone wise guessed what happened in the middle of the night, yes, Lily woke up...
An ordinary person with normal physiology, a werewolf who doesn't intend to be jet-lagged at all, and a vampire whose biological clock has been adjusted to unprecedented chaos, such a miraculous trio finally produced a difference in work and rest in a foreign land eight time zones away. Violent collision: Lily is sleeping when Hao Ren and Vivienne are awake, Lily wakes up when Vivian finally gets sleepy, and at the same time, Vivienne is very energetic during two-thirds of the time when Hao Ren is sleeping, Vivienne Hao Ren didn't wake up when he and Lily were awake at the same time—don't try to figure out the corresponding relationship between the three people's waking hours by drawing timetables and connection diagrams, because it's so messed up that even they can't figure it out! The sleeping time of the three people is nested and corresponding to each other according to two-thirds and three-quarters. Basically, when one person in the three-person group is sleeping, at least one person is like a wandering spirit wandering around the room. run away
Early the next morning, Hao Ren came out of the house dejectedly with his chicken coop on his head, and saw Vivienne with bloodshot eyes head-on. As soon as the vampire girl met, she complained to Hao Ren: "Hao Ren! Never sleep in the same room with that big dog! She jumped up in the middle of the night and shouted for breakfast, and walked around my bed for two hours in the dark!"
Hao Ren is estimated to be the one with the best sleep quality among the three. He slept for nearly a dozen hours in pieces, and in the end he was only a doctor away from coma. He watched with dazed eyes. Vivienne: "Eh... I felt very cold in the room last night, and the air conditioner didn't work when I turned it off. Do you know what's going on?"
Vivian blushed: "Um, I couldn't sleep in the first half of the night, so I did two sets of weight-loss exercises in the living room, maybe I didn't pay attention."
Hao Ren was terrified. He thought about how scary last night was: in the first half of the night, a vampire was silently doing aerobics in the living room, and in the second half of the night, a werewolf patrolled the opposite room blindly for two hours!
What happened in this room one night is only a camera crew away from Liaozhai!
