It seems that something is wrong from the moment you enter the territory of Berlin.

First, a heavy snowstorm occurred, and the car broke down in the wilderness inexplicably, and he was forced to stay in the only hotel in the wilderness.

Then there's the terrible environment in the hotel—damp, musty pillows and quilts, and the air in the guest rooms seems to be filled with a fishy smell.

"The door lock is broken." Linnaeus whispered to Cen Ruxi.

Cen Ruxi frowned and whispered, "Let the counter repair it later." ”

They were driving halfway through Berlin to Cen Ruxi's home in the middle of the city to visit Cen Ruxi's parents and two brothers.

But clearly, they are suffering from setbacks.

At the counter was a young man, skinny, with two big dark circles under his eyes, young but with sparse hair, visible middle-aged

You have to worry about baldness.

Linnaeus inquired in English, "Hello, the lock on the door of our room is broken, can you fix it for us?" ”

It's not that I didn't think about changing a room, but this small inn is obviously a home-converted hotel, with only five rooms.

If it weren't for the fact that it was getting late, the car couldn't be started, and the mechanics wouldn't be able to go to work tomorrow morning, they wouldn't have moved in.

But there's no better way to do it right now.

The man looked at Linnaeus with a strange look, and he didn't know what he was saying, and Linnaeus couldn't understand it.

"I don't speak English here." Cen Ruxi said.

She spoke to them in German, but the other man looked very cold, and finally told them that he would have to spare time before he could repair the locks for them.

Linnaeus looked at the man sitting at the front desk and couldn't help but wonder: is he busy, there is nothing here.

The charges for this run-down hotel are frighteningly high, but the service attitude is incredible.

But the only thing to be thankful for is that this place, which is full of barbarism and weirdness, can still provide dinner and hot water.

However, the way of dining here is very homely, perhaps because of the scarcity of guests, all the guests in the room, including the thin man's front desk, sit around a large dining table.

Dinner was simple, with just a few dishes – a large pot of mashed potatoes, beef in sour soup, currywurst and beef patties.

The beef patty was not fried crunchy, and the currywurst was cold and hard for Linnaeus to swallow.

On the contrary, Cen Ruxi may have grown up in this place, so he did not show any discomfort.

There were a few other people who were eating with them, all of whom were guests here, presumably because of the blizzard.

One of them, a young boy who looked like a college student, kept staring at Linnaeus with a strange gaze.

Sensing the other party's rude gaze, Cen Ruxi frowned slightly, and she pulled the large pot of mashed potatoes over, blocking the person's explicit gaze.

Not feeling at all that he had offended a young lady, he approached him and tried to greet Linnaeus in broken English.

"Hello ......"

His voice was low, which made Linnaeus very uncomfortable.

Linnaeus smiled awkwardly at him.

Then, she heard the other person ask, "You're an actor, aren't you?" ”

Linnaeus subconsciously denied: "No, no. ”

"You look alike...... Much like a character from Ace Agent...... ”

"Lulu......," Linnaeus heard the other say.

Linnaeus didn't expect that someone would recognize him in such a dilapidated little hotel, and "Ace Agent", which was a movie he made four or five years ago, this movie was indeed a big hit, but most of the female characters in it were just vase characters, and it was difficult for people to remember.

"No," Linnaeus smiled, "you're mistaken. ”

"Maybe you think Asians look the same," she said. ”

She wanted to pull away from the topic, and she didn't want to entangle with the other party again.

But the other party did not seem to perceive Linnaeus's resistance, and he continued: "No, Miss Lulu, I ...... I'm your fan, I'm ......"

Before he finished speaking, Cen Ruxi picked up Linnaeus and left.

Linnaeus was also frightened by the other party, and whispered to Cen Ruxi: "I can't stand it, I really can't stay anymore......"

She sat on the quilt and felt that tonight must be a sleepless night.

Cen Ruxi was obviously also a little irritable, she took out her mobile phone and looked at it, and found that the signal here was very weak, and it was almost impossible to use the Internet.

"Damn it......" she cursed quietly.

No matter what they said, the front desk still didn't come to repair the door lock, Linnaeus was worried, dragged the sofa behind the door, and carefully closed the window, which was a little relieved.

The quilt still has a bad smell, but I can't care about it so much at the moment, it's too tiring this day.

Cen Ruxi took out the perfume he was carrying from his bag and sprayed it on the quilt, the smell of perfume was very strong, which barely covered up the rotten smell.

She patted Linnaeus on the head and said, "Don't think so much, just get some sleep." ”

Linnaeus nodded.

There were two single beds in the room, and the bed boards were cold and hard, which was uncomfortable in the back.

Linnaeus lay down and saw Cen Ruxi leaning over to the fireplace, as if preparing to light a fire to keep warm.

The fireplace was already dirty, and Linnaeus asked, "Can it still be used?" ”

"It should be through," Cen Ruxi said, finding a tong, she dialed it with tongs, and found that there was firewood in it.

Cen Ruxi reached out and touched it, then sniffed his hand.

Linnaeus draped herself in a blanket and saw her pull out a lighter and set the fireplace on fireplace, and soon the temperature in the room rose.

"You're going to do this?" Linnaeus was thrilled with the novelty.

"Well, when I was a kid there wasn't an electric fireplace, and things like that were often done."

But before the two of them could say any more, there was a knock on the door of the room.

Linnaeus and Cen Ruxi glanced at each other.

Cen Ruxi patted Linnaeus on the shoulder, then got up and asked in German, "Who is it?" ”

There was a lot of muttering outside.

Linnaeus recognized it, it was the voice of the young man he had met during the day's dinner.

I don't know what he was talking about, Linnaeus felt a little irritated - the other party's actions reminded her of Meng Yueze, who had been pestering her endlessly, even though Meng Yueze was still serving a prison sentence now, but Linnaeus felt goosebumps pop up all over his body whenever he thought of this person.

It's a psychological shadow.

Cen replied in German, and Linnaeus sat in front of the fireplace, looking at the golden flames in the fireplace.

Soon, there was no sound outside the door.

"What did he say?" Linnaeus asked.

Cen Ruxi said: "He said that he is actually a cartoonist and wants to create a comic story based on you. ”

"Comic book stories?" Linnaeus seemed to be a little interested.

During the time she used to film, it was not that there were no fans who created portraits for her, but creating a comic story for her was really a novel experience.

- If it weren't for the person who seemed to have a mental problem.

The thought of the man's feverish gaze immediately made Linnaeus lose interest.

She put on a blanket and went back to her bed, flipped out her phone to listen to music, and quickly fell asleep.

However, the next morning, there was no good news.

Because of the heavy snowfall overnight, the maintenance personnel could not make it through the heavy snow to make repairs.

- In other words, even if it can be repaired, it will be difficult for Cen Ruxi and Linnaeus to drive to the center of Berlin with such thick snow.

"What the hell!"

A young woman cursed.

She was beautiful, young and light, she looked a few years younger than Linnaeus, she was richly dressed and had elaborate makeup, and she looked like she was trapped here by Blizzard.

She saw that Cen Ruxi had an extraordinary temperament, and came up to greet Cen Ruxi in English.

From the conversation, Linnaeus learned that the other party's name was Josanna, and she was an actress - the fledgling kind.

But perhaps unlike the others, Josanna is a rich lady who drives to Berlin alone for an audition for her dreams.

Unfortunately, she didn't expect that she would be trapped here because of a snowstorm.

She said that for this audition, she wrote more than ten cover letters to the director, and her sincerity finally moved the director, and the director agreed to her to participate, but she didn't expect it......

Josanna looked a little frustrated.

Linnaeus could not be comforted, after all, his current situation was not much better than others.

But fortunately, the snow has stopped, and as long as the snow melts, you can hit the road.

The strange man at the front desk was pouring salt at the door to clear the snow, and the guests of several rooms were coming out one after another to prepare breakfast.

I don't know what Cen Ruxi said to that man last night, but today he looked at Linnaeus with a much more restrained look, but between meals, he still couldn't help but secretly look at Linnaeus with his spare eyes.

Linnaeus: "......"

Cen Ruxi: "...... Tut. ”

The atmosphere at the dinner table was quite strange, and the other tenants were all immersed in their meals and did not speak.

At this moment, Qiao Shanna suddenly said, "I don't know when the snow will melt." ”

"It won't be long." Another strange tenant took the initiative.

Josanna was visibly agitated, and she vigorously forked the sausages on her plate, which made an unpleasant sound as they collided with the porcelain.

"My name is Mozak, and I am a merchant," said the tenant who spoke to Josanna, "from Cologne." ”

He looked at Josanna with burning eyes, clearly attracted to the other party.

But Josanna was clearly not interested in him.

Linnaeus couldn't understand the conversation between them, but he also clearly felt the strange aura between the two.

And what's even stranger is that the man who knocked on her door yesterday, who is said to be a cartoonist, is now silent, looking down and scribbling something in a notebook.

It's drawing.

Linnaeus thought.

It didn't take long for the man to suddenly stand up and say to Linnaeus, "I...... My name is Toby. ”

Linnaeus: "......"

It was a broken sentence in English, but Linnaeus understood it.

"Give, give you ......"

Toby handed Linnaeus a piece of paper, and Linnaeus looked down to see that it was himself.

Toby's painting is very beautiful, in the picture Linnaeus is wearing a long white dress, holding a lily in his hand, and a pair of long wings on his hand, and the real image is the image of an angel.

It is worth mentioning that there is also a long, curly-haired woman with a bewitching appearance behind the "Angel", who looks like a witch or something.

Linnaeus: "......"

"Uh, is this her?" Linnaeus pointed at Cen Ruxi.

Cen Ruxi glanced at the portrait and drank the milk from the cup in his hand expressionlessly.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that Toby's expression seems to reveal a —......

Uh, fear?

"Deliver one of mine? Thank you. Linnaeus thought to himself, what a human being is really unseemly.

It seems that he really likes the role of Yang Lulu.

It shouldn't be a bad person.,It seems that I really thought too much about it before.。

But it's really easy to misunderstand such an inexplicability!

The businessman Mozak likes to join in the fun, and he also came up to take a look, but he was shocked when he didn't expect it.

"Master Cestbon!"

Linnaeus: "......"

Cen Ruxi: "......"

Toby: "......=////="

Wait, is that shyness?

"Master Cestbon?" Cen frowned.

Mozak said excitedly: "Yes, Master Cestbon is a very famous comic master!" As he spoke, he pulled out his phone to show everyone his phone screensaver - three busty girls in bikinis were lying on their stomachs and hugging each other.

Linnaeus: "......"

Cen Ruxi: "......"

After listening to Cen Ruxi's relay, Linnaeus couldn't help but look at Toby with thin arms and legs.

Sure enough, people are not allowed to look good......

Toby, who was afraid that Linnaeus would misunderstand him, quickly explained: "No, it's not...... That's commercial illustration...... I ......"

He stammered in English, apparently to Linnaeus.

Linnaeus: "......"

I thought it was a horror movie, but now it has developed into a story that I don't know?

Cen Ruxi frowned, took a step forward, and was separated between Linnaeus and Toby.

Toby was obviously afraid of Cen Ruxi, he swallowed his saliva, and finally mustered up the courage to ask Linnaeus, "Can I create my comic heroine based on you!" ”

Linnaeus: "......"

Well, there was no stammering.

"I'm sorry, I probably don't really want to be that ......" (Linnaeus gessiers to Mozác's phone screen)

Although Cen Ruxi's face was expressionless, after getting along in the past few years, she was already able to express her feelings in her eyes.

What Toby saw now was Cen Ruxi's angry expression in his eyes.

⊙_⊙b Khan

Although he was afraid that Cen Ru would die in the past, Toby still bravely said: "No, no, not like that...... A very brave and very strong woman! Please! ”

I have to say, Toby is really serious.

Because in the end, the three words "please" were said in Chinese, and obviously wanted to use this to prove their sincerity.

Linnaeus looked at Cen Ruxi.

Cen Ruxi looked at Linnaeus.

In the end, Cen Ruxi said: "You decide for yourself. ”

"Huh?" Linnaeus blinked, then said to Toby, "Well, if that's the case, well, but I don't want to be in the kind of work you know......"

Toby listened carefully to the goddess's words, then laboriously converted into German, and then nodded frantically.

"Thank you!"

He's really a good kid......

-------------------

While waiting for the snow to melt, several people would sometimes watch Toby draw.

Although his pen name "Cestbon" always feels weird, I have to say that Toby's painting skills are very superb, and unlike the rough style of painting that Linnaeus has seen before, Toby's painting style feels very clean and soft.

This turns out to be a detective horror story, a young woman named "Luna" comes to Berlin alone because of the blizzard and is trapped in a dilapidated hotel called "Meo", which has a weird bald young front desk and several strange tenants: a sleek businessman who can speak eight Chinese, a rich lady who dreams of becoming Germany's first actress, and so on.

The plot is that a tenant died accidentally, and then everyone found themselves trapped, and finally the heroine found out the real murderer and left the hotel.

"It always feels like a farce...... Cen Ruxi drove on the way home.

Linnaeus laughed: "Isn't this life? ”

Life is always full of accidents, as if the first encounter is indeed a plot in horror, but in fact, after the snow melts, the maintenance personnel repair the car, and the two go in the original direction.

There was no bloodshed and death, and the hotel may have been a little weird, but in fact it was also a regular hotel, and it also had a business license and a record on the Internet. (Linnaeus later found the group purchase discount information of this hotel on the Internet)

And Toby, who originally thought he was a pervert, was actually just a cute and shy child.

"Huh?"

Linnaeus suddenly seemed to remember something.

Cen Ruxi looked at her suspiciously.

"Why didn't you play?" Linnaeus asked curiously, "Could it be that he will appear in the back, a mysterious figure?" ”

Cen Ruxi: "......"

That damn comic, which couldn't be sold at first glance, actually drew her as a ghost in the snow, and only one page appeared, and Cen Ruxi didn't want to talk about it.

Hehe.
