Chapter 25: A Trip to Hot Springs

"Songshi Hot Spring Hotel, not because everyone knows the Songshi Mountain or Songshi and named, its 'Songshi' word, from the first generation of the boss, the name of the proprietress of the boss, even, even the name of the entire Songshi Mountain is like this, the first boss at that time is the son of a wealthy businessman in the city, a trip, met the simple and kind of the first generation of the boss lady in the countryside......"

The guide at the front tells you about the origins of this 'Turquoise Hot Spring Hotel'.

Tourists listened with relish.

Teddy, on the other hand, nervously looked around.

Neither the tour guide nor the nice scenery around him could attract Teddy's attention, or rather, he didn't care about that at all.

He cared about the unusual.

Even according to the only witcher he knew, the weirdness wouldn't show up during the day.

However, he was still nervous.

After all, everything around is strange and unfamiliar, and who knows what will happen?

At this time, Teddy has already regretted signing up for this so-called 'hot spring culture tour', and he should stay in Ai honestly, and adapt to those sudden strangeness with a more familiar environment, instead of choosing to deal with the increasingly strange world in an unfamiliar environment.

It's a terrible feeling.

And just when Teddy was thinking about whether to leave the group and return to Ai directly, a rainstorm suddenly came!

Tour guides and tourists ran into the hotel.

The innkeeper, a lady with delicate makeup and graceful manners, greeted them with a smile.

The men who entered the hotel were stunned when they saw the fourth-generation proprietress in the mouth of the guide, even Teddy.

However, unlike the men around him, Teddy quickly returned to normal.

He looked out the window at the heavy rain and frowned.

Under such a torrential rain, it is basically impossible to go down the mountain and leave.

Heavy rain obstructs the view, muddy and slippery roads, and accidents can happen if you are not careful.

"Guest, what's the matter?"

Just as Teddy was thinking, the fourth-generation proprietress named 'Turquoise' walked over with a cup of hot tea.

"Nothing."

"Thank you."

Teddy politely took the hot tea, but didn't say anything more.

The proprietress pursed her lips and smiled, but after bowing slightly to Teddy, she got up and asked the other tourists if they needed help.

Looking at the back of the proprietress, Teddy has reason to believe that there is no need for any historical inheritance, as long as the proprietress is there, any store will have a booming business.

In fact, the same is true.

Except for their group, after a while, another group of people came running in in the heavy rain.

It's the same with their little group.

This wave of tourists is also a small group, including the tour guide and the driver, there are only five people.

"It's raining heavily!"

"What bad luck!"

"It's all your fault that you have to soak in the hot springs!"

Behind the tour guide were four young people, two men and two women, who could be two young couples from their expressions.

At this moment, among the two young couples, the girl who walked in front of the pair was complaining about the boy.

The boy with a slightly chubby figure and eyes is licking his face to please his good-looking, yellow-haired girlfriend.

However, the other party obviously did not appreciate it.

not only crossed his eyebrows coldly, but also commanded his boyfriend to take the towel.

's brutal and willful appearance made the people around him look sideways.

But instead of relenting, the girl spoke louder and louder.

"Hurry up!"

"I should have gone shopping with them if I knew I should have done so."

The voice in his mouth made Teddy shake his head secretly and look at the couple behind him.

This little couple is much better.

The man took a towel to wipe the girl's head, while the girl smiled.

It's normal.

Teddy's gaze swept away, leaning against the corner of the inn lobby, waiting for the proprietress to assign a room.

Thankfully, although it is two tour groups, they are both small groups, small hotels, and they can live in them.

Teddy's assigned room is 201.

On the second floor, it is located directly opposite the staircase.

From this room to the left, they are 202 and 203, and to the right are 204, 205 and 206.

The room on the side of the stairs is open, with billiard tables, tables and sofas, which should be an activity room, and on the edge of the activity room, there are fenced handrails, standing here you can see some views of the atrium of the hotel and Turquoise Mountain, if it is a sunny day, the view is estimated to be very good.

Teddy was accompanied by a family of three.

Injected the largest room 206.

The two tour guides obviously knew each other, and they lived in 205 at the same time.

The remaining two couples lived in 202 and 203.

204 is empty.

After Teddy picked up the key to enter 201 and carefully inspected the room, he breathed a sigh of relief - this was the professional instinct formed by the police, and when he knew that the world was far from what he thought, Teddy's professional instinct quickly rose to an almost demanding height.

Just like at this moment.

Teddy, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, immediately took out an electric baton and two high-temperature lighters from his backpack.

The electric baton is not a traditional style, but similar to a mobile phone, with two metal contacts on the front end, although small, but bursting with enough power to make an adult lose mobility in just a few seconds.

The same goes for high-temperature lighters, which look like a small watering can or an alternative gun, but as long as the trigger is pulled, the nozzle can spray a high temperature close to 300 degrees.

When he learned from Qin Ran's mouth how to deal with those weirdness, Teddy immediately paid a high price to get these two things.

It's not expecting anything to happen.

It's just pure defense.

By now, Teddy is barely able to sleep peacefully without carrying these things with him.

And, even then, Teddy often wakes up in the middle of the night.

Today, however, is different.

Upon entering the room, Teddy was a little sleepy.

Especially after counting the electric batons and high-temperature lighters that he carried, he was even more sleepy, and unconsciously, he picked up the electric baton and high-temperature lighters, and Teddy just lay down on the bed.

Maybe it's because you've been too nervous these days?

At this moment before falling asleep, Teddy was still thinking.

And the next moment, snoring was everywhere.

Teddy fell into a stupor.

Chop, chop, chop!

In a daze, Teddy was awakened by a very rhythmic sound.

He propped himself up, frowned, pushed open the door, and walked downstairs to the sound of the voice.

When he walked downstairs, Teddy realized that the sound was coming from the kitchen.

And at this time, he also reflected what the extremely rhythmic sound was just now.

"Chop the ribs?"

Teddy muttered, and then, raising his hand, subconsciously lifted the kitchen curtain.

Ribs, Teddy loves to eat.

Especially the part with brittle bones, which fascinates Teddy.

However, the moment the curtain was lifted, Teddy's eyes widened.

What did he see?

He saw himself!

Stripped naked, he lay flat on a long desk, and the beautiful proprietress stood aside, holding a sharp broad-bladed kitchen knife in her hand.

Every time you make that 'chop' sound.

Blood splatters everywhere with each swing.

Teddy gasped and stepped back.

But I don't know something, I tripped behind him, and Teddy just fell.

Thump!

The muffled sound of the fall obviously alarmed the proprietress who was chopping meat in the kitchen.

She lifted the curtain and walked out.

There is no difference from the glamorous proprietress in Teddy's memory, she is still beautiful, even if there is more blood on her face, hands, and body, but this glamorous feeling has not only not diminished in the slightest, but has an alternative and weird beauty.

Teddy rolled over and picked up a chair in the hall without thinking about it, and threw it at the proprietress instead.

Woo!

The chair carried a gust of wind and went straight to the proprietress .

But the proprietress just waved her hand with a knife, and the chair was cut open, like a piece of tofu instead of a chair.

Teddy's eyes shrank.

He knows very well that he is definitely not an opponent for someone who can do it.

Even if the other party looks like a delicate woman.

Without thinking about it, Teddy thought about rushing upstairs.

However, at this moment, he was tripped under his feet again.

As before, Teddy fell to the ground again.

And, to make matters worse, this time the proprietress was close at hand.

The knife in his hand was chopped straight down.

"Ahh

Teddy jerked up from the bed, groped his chest, and gasped for air.

At this time, he realized that everything just now was a dream.

Can......

That dream is really too real.

Recalling the scenes in his mind, fine beads of sweat appeared on Teddy's forehead.

After a few moments, Teddy stepped out of bed and headed for the bathroom.

He needed to wash his face and clear up.

But the moment he turned on the faucet—

"Ahh

A shrill cry came suddenly.

Instinct as a police officer made Teddy turn around and rush out the door.

The whole corridor is quiet.

The shouts are coming from 204 on the right.

It's the little couple who live here, right?

That conflicting little couple!

Did something unexpected?

Teddy lifted his foot and kicked at the lock.

Bang, bang!

Bang!

One foot, two feet, and at the third foot, the door of the room, which already had an age, opened.

But there was no such thing as the little couple in the room.

Yes, just a man hanging from a beam.

Although it was only a back, the familiar jacket and pants were enough for Teddy to recognize that they were his own clothes.

In fact, he was now dressed exactly the same as the figure hanging there, except for his coat.

"This?"

Just as Teddy frowned, the figure hanging there squeaked around as if it had been blown by the wind.

It's him!

That's him!

Although his face was blue and his tongue was sticking out, how could Teddy mistake himself?

But he's standing here......

Forehead!

The idea had just come to Teddy's mind when suddenly the perspective in front of him flickered.

He came to a high place.

He felt suffocated.

He danced with his hands.

However, the rope around the neck is getting tighter and tighter.

And the one standing on the ground showed a very weird smile, just watching him suffocate.

The brain, deprived of oxygen, gradually becomes confused.

The field of vision has long been blurred.

Click!

Suddenly, there was a sound of scissors crossing.

Teddy, who was hanging from a high place, fell to the ground so hard.

The pain on his body made Teddy sit up directly.

"Huh?!"

Teddy was stunned.

He was still in bed.

He still had an electric baton and a high-temperature lighter in his hands, but ...... There was also a dull pain in his body.

Especially the position of the neck.

That kind of suffocation, still exists.

"Is this a dream?"

Teddy walked into the bathroom with an electric baton and a high-temperature lighter, and he looked in the mirror.

There are no strangulation marks on the neck.

There were no bruises on his body.

It's just that the scene just now is too real.

It's so real that he can't tell the difference, and now it'...... Is it a dream!

He lowered his head and looked at the electric baton and high-temperature lighter in his hand.

Before, in the dream, he didn't see either of these things.

But at that time, he seemed to subconsciously ignore these two things.

There are also 204 rooms!

He remembered that there was no one.

In the dream, it became the room of the little couple.

There was weirdness everywhere in that dream, but he took it for granted.

According to his habits, this is simply not possible.

Unless......

"Did I run into weirdness?"

Teddy thought involuntarily.

Knock, knock.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

Teddy asked, slightly nervous.

"Hello guests, it's time for dinner."

"Do you need dinner?"

Outside the door, the voice of the proprietress came.

Dinner?

Teddy looked out the window and realized that it was already dark, but the rain was still falling, only slightly.

And his stomach growled with hunger.

"Wait a minute."

"I'll be right here."

As he spoke, Teddy picked up his coat and put electric batons and two hot lighters into the pockets of his coat - he had chosen a coat with large pockets like a trench coat, so that he could carry these things with him at special times.

"Okay."

The proprietress outside the door replied.

However, Teddy, who had packed up, did not open the door and walked to the window.

He hadn't forgotten Qin Ran's advice.

When you encounter a weirdness, the first time is not to fight, but to run for your life.

Teddy was more than happy to hear from the experts.

As for the rest?

By now, Teddy couldn't be sure if he was seeing a human being.

Teddy, who didn't have a backpack and was nimble, climbed out of the window and jumped straight out of the courtyard.

The height of the second floor was nothing at all for a well-prepared teddy.

With a single roll, he unloaded his strength.

However, just as he was about to stand up, he tripped again.

Thump.

Teddy, who had fallen in the muddy water, immediately got up and froze when he turned his head to see what had tripped him.

Corpse!

A corpse tripped over him!

The corpse is a girl in the previous conflicting couple.

The corpse was dressed in the clothes he had worn when he first saw each other, and his bare face was pale from the rain.

Call.

Teddy let out a long sigh of relief, glad that the corpse wasn't his own.

If he encounters his own corpse again, Teddy can't guarantee that he won't go crazy.

But before Teddy could breathe out completely, there were shouts from inside the hotel.

"Sally? Sally? ”

After just two sounds, the boy in the couple rushed out and saw Teddy standing next to his girlfriend's body in the rain.

And behind the boy, the couple who helped find someone together, a family of three, and the two tour guides immediately saw the scene in front of them clearly.

The timid girl, the child, and the two tour guides immediately screamed.

The remaining two men stood in front of their girlfriends and wives, looking at Teddy warily.

Teddy immediately raised his hands and signaled that he was harmless.

"I think I can explain."

"Actually......"

"I'm a police officer."
