Walking out of the Bird of Paradise Internet café, Zhao Nuo called the Black Hand Soldier, and after confirming the location of the hotel, he immediately took a taxi.

When he arrived at the hotel, it was already midnight, and after getting out of the taxi, Zhao Nuo looked at the building in front of him and frowned slightly, and then took out his phone and sent a message to the Black Hand:

"Are you sure it's the 'Autumn Water Hotel'?"

"That's it, come in, second floor." The Black Hand replied quickly.

Raising his head and looking up at the building in front of him, Zhao Nuo was still a little unsure.

- No matter how much Xia Xiaoling gets off the line, she can be regarded as a "rich daughter" after all, and now he and the Black Hand are not poor, he thought that those two people would live in a nearby hotel or luxury hotel, but ......

I am now standing on a sparsely populated street on the outskirts of the city, and the two-story building in front of me with the word "Qiushui Hotel" hanging in front of me looks like the ruins of a house with the word "demolition" written in red on the wall, which is about to be razed to the ground.

-- In addition to being "shabby", the building even exudes an air of "danger."

Peeling walls and dirty windows aside. I don't know if it's an illusion, Zhao Nuo always felt that this small building looked like it was tilting to the right, as if there was something wrong with the foundation.

"Is it really okay to live in this kind of place......" Zhao Nuo muttered to himself.

* In his opinion, it is impossible for him to come to this kind of place even if he is shy in his pocket, and even if he sleeps under the bridge, it is at least safer than here. As for why you want to come to this kind of place, you should go in and say hello.

Push open the door of the hotel. What catches the eye is an old, cramped hall with a retro atmosphere of the "90s", with dimly lit lamps hanging from the ceiling overhead. The wooden floor creaks as soon as you step on it.

"Hello."

Behind the wooden counter on the right-hand side, an old man dressed in black, with gray hair but very energetic, put down the newspaper in his hand and asked in a hoarse voice, "Who came to stay?" ”

"Well, there are two of my friends upstairs." Zhao Nuo raised his hand and pointed to the ceiling.

"Uh-oh, they've booked you a room." The old man said and handed over a key: "No. 3, I've already paid, go up." ”

"Oh."

Taking the key that looked like it was made of bronze, Zhao Nuo walked up the creaky wooden staircase to the second floor. Step out into the wooden hallway. I saw four wooden doors lined up side by side on the wall of the corridor on the right. Metal plaques from one to four are hung.

Standing still in front of the door of the third room, he inserted the key into the lock hole and twisted it, Zhao Nuo easily pushed the door in, and just after entering the house, he heard a familiar voice from inside:

"Let you sharpen your knives, what are you doing with medicine. Are you stupid? The Black Hand shouted angrily.

"Ahh I pressed the wrong ......" Xia Xiaoling's voice was still as "stupid" as usual.

"What are you doing in my room?" Zhao Nuo walked into the room quickly. I saw Xia Xiaoling and the Black Hand Soldier sitting on the bed, holding the screen of their PSV and operating something.

"......" Zhao Nuo was silent.

"We're too bored to sleep, so borrow your console to play. It's okay, right? The Black Hand said unashamedly.

"Forget it this time, it's better to talk to me in advance next time." Zhao Nuo sat on another bed next to him, looking at the scene in the room.

Completely different from the "dirty mess" I imagined, although the outside of Qiushui Hotel looks very dirty, the interior of the guest room is unexpectedly clean and tidy:

In the room, two small wooden beds with white sheets are displayed side by side, and a wooden cabinet is placed opposite the foot of the bed against the wall, on which an old "panda" TV is placed. Then add to that the somewhat smooth wooden floor under your feet and the small light bulb overhead. This room looks like an old house from the 80s and 90s of the last century, not only is it not dirty, but it makes people feel nostalgic.

"Where did you find this hotel?" Zhao Nuo asked.

"It's my dad, I used to hear him say that he lived here when he came to G City, and he said that it was very good. So I wanted to come and see it too. Xia Xiaoling seemed to nod happily.

"Well, it's not bad here." Zhao Nuo agreed.

Seeing the layout of this room, even I, who has never been very "homesick", can't help but miss the experience of living in my grandfather's house when I was a child. At that time, I seemed to be still in elementary school, and I didn't know what happened to the house after my grandparents moved out......

Sitting on the wooden bed caressing the cold white sheets, Zhao Nuo set his eyes on the dark night outside the window. It's a pity that the homesickness lasted less than ten seconds, and then it was interrupted by the two guys who were traveling with him:

"Cut off its tail, it's going to be broken!" The Black Hand roared excitedly.

"Ah...... Is this the tail? I thought it was its neck. Xia Xiaoling made a "pop" sound when she hit the button, which made Zhao Nuo worry about whether the buttons of his game console were going to be abolished.

Although the PSV can't run the latest Monster Hunter Pocket Edition, it's still okay to use the old version of PSP Monster Hunter P3, and I followed the online tutorial to get one myself. But......

"Can't you go back to your bedroom and play? Let me be quiet. He angrily gave the order to evict the guest.

Finally, there was some atmosphere, and it was ruined by these two fools. Now Zhao Nuo's mood is not very good.

"Oh, let's go to my bedroom!" The natural girl made a statement that seemed dangerous at the time of the stay, stood up and walked out of the room with the PSV. At the same time, she was followed away by the mafia with hard hair like cement.

After the two left, Zhao Nuo immediately closed the door and locked it, and put the key on the bedside table. Then he lay on the bed with his hands on his hands, staring blankly at the dark yellow ceiling above his head in the light:

"Trapped ......"

He usually played games and had to be excited for a while before he could sleep, but in this reassuring room, he immediately felt sleepy.

I took out my toiletries from my duffel bag at the head of the bed and washed them in the small bathroom in the room. Zhao Nuo fell on the bed, closed his eyes without even changing his clothes, and soon fell asleep.

"Knock knock."

"Knock knock."

Hearing a rhythmic knock at the door in a daze, he slowly opened his eyes and scolded angrily: "Who?" ”

"Knock knock."

The knocking on the door continued rhythmically, and Zhao Nuo, who was in a bad mood, stood in front of the door, opened the door suddenly, and saw a slender black figure, holding an old embroidered pillow in his arms:

"I'm scared ......" Xia Xiaoling wrinkled her nose, a bit like some kind of hamster holding food.

“……”

Forcibly suppressing the raging anger that would appear every time he got up, Zhao Nuo sighed helplessly: "I'm really convinced, come in." ”

"Good ......"

Xia Xiaoling nodded slightly, and then walked into room three.

Leading the girl with a pillow in her arms into the guest room, looking at her sitting on the bed next to her, Zhao Nuo was thinking about what to do in the next six hours when he couldn't sleep, when he suddenly noticed that the mobile phone in his pocket vibrate.

took out his mobile phone to take a look, but saw that a new message had just been sent on the screen, and the number turned out to be Xia Xiaoling:

"Xiao Hei and I are eating barbecue outside, is Zhao Nuo coming?"

“……”

After reading the content of the message, Zhao Nuo suddenly felt a cold body, and an ominous feeling came to his heart. (To be continued......) R1292
