Chapter 9: Footsteps in the Wax Museum
There are no clerks in the bathing center, only ticket vending machines.
On the wall, as in restaurants and clothing stores, there are wall clocks and LCD screen countdowns.
The cheapest bath tickets only provide hot water, a towel and a small bar of soap, and are limited to ten minutes and only require one credit.
After swiping the card, Li Teng got a coin engraved with a strange pattern.
took the coin into the dressing room, and after taking off his clothes, Li Teng came to the bathroom inside.
In the bathroom, there is a closed bathroom.
Drop a coin into the coin insert in one of the bathrooms, and the door to that bathroom will automatically open.
The bathroom is a shower, only two square meters in size, and a 10-minute countdown beats on a screen at the top of the wall.
After ten minutes, Li Teng will be forcibly expelled regardless of whether he finishes taking a shower or not.
It is a very troublesome thing for a woman to take a bath, and in general, there is not an hour that cannot be washed.
Men like Li Teng are different.
It can be done in five minutes.
Wet your body in half a minute, soap it in one minute, rub it in one minute, and rinse it off in half a minute.
There is also a minute to wipe your body clean with a bath towel.
Li Teng only took five minutes to finish taking a shower, and then spent another five minutes to soap his dirty pajamas and quickly rub them a few times, and he got everything done in ten minutes.
Before the ten-minute countdown ended, Li Teng had already returned to the locker room and changed into the clean clothes, shoes and socks he had just bought from the clothing store.
After eating and drinking, taking a bath and changing into new clothes, Li Teng is now refreshed, and he is like two people who are extremely weak on the top of the stone pillar in the morning.
looks
The locker room provided free plastic bags, and Li Teng put the pajamas he had just washed into the plastic bags, and then returned to the street.
There was still no one on the street.
It's so quiet everywhere, it's as quiet as a dead city.
However, restaurants, clothing stores and bathing centers are still operating normally, making Li Teng feel that this must not be a dead city.
It's a pity that he can't find a public phone, and there is nowhere to borrow a mobile phone, otherwise, Li Teng will definitely call the police first, tell the police everything he has encountered, let them locate him, take him home, and then find out what organization kidnapped him to the top of the stone pillar.
For now, let's find a living person on this street first.
There was a public toilet opposite the bathing center, and Li Teng drank a lot of drinks and ate a lot of food, but he needed to solve it.
The toilet was clean and nicely decorated.
Dryers and toilet paper are readily available.
There was also no one in it.
While solving the problem in the cubicle, Li Teng heard footsteps on the street outside.
Is there a living person passing by outside?
After Li Teng solved the problem, he hurriedly rushed to the street outside.
But the streets outside were still empty.
If someone had just passed by, they would have gone to the street corner in front of them.
Li Teng hurriedly chased after him.
Sure enough, after turning the corner, Li Teng saw two living people.
Two beautiful hostesses were standing at the door of a shop with a smile on their faces.
The door behind them was very large, it was hidden, there was no sign outside the store, and I didn't know what it was doing inside.
Li Teng walked over quickly, ready to ask the two welcome ladies a few words, or borrow a mobile phone from them to use, make a phone call or something.
After coming to the two welcoming ladies, Li Teng froze.
The two welcoming ladies looked like real people, with ruddy faces. But they stood there motionless.
If you distinguish carefully, Li Teng feels that they are not Miss Welcome.
Although the clothes worn by the two are both red, the specific styles are very different.
And it's not the kind of dress worn by the hostess, but more like the fashion worn by pedestrians on the street.
Her toys were just smiling, not the welcoming smile of the welcome lady.
It feels like two passing women standing here and posing for photos.
"Two beauties, you're not playing a game of wooden men, are you?"
Li Teng tried to ask the two women.
The two remained motionless, but that eerie smile continued to appear on their faces.
Seeing that they didn't react to what he said, and they didn't move all the time, Li Teng tried to reach out and touch it.
"Is it a wax figure?" Li Teng frowned.
Could it be that this is a wax museum?
Li Teng took a few steps back and took a closer look at the exterior wall of the store.
There are no signboards, and there are no words like wax museums.
At this moment, there was a faint sound of footsteps in the store.
"Anyone?" Li Teng hurriedly rushed to the front and shouted into the store.
No one responded, but the footsteps stopped.
There are indeed people inside!
Li Teng didn't say a word, stretched out his hand and pushed open the hidden door behind the second girl and rushed into the store.
After rushing in and seeing everything inside, Li Teng was suddenly stunned and froze in place.
Inside is a hall, more than 200 square meters, where a drinking party is being held.
In the hall of more than 200 square meters, there are at least fifty or sixty guests.
Everyone looked at Li Teng by the door of the hall with a smile on their faces, and some of them still had wine glasses in their hands.
However, it was very quiet in the hall.
It was so quiet that Li Teng could only hear his own breathing.
Everyone in the hall remained in some position, not moving.
It's like ...... A photograph, or rather, time suddenly stands still at this moment.
"Are there any living people?"
After a moment, Li Teng calmed down and asked the hall.
He had just heard footsteps, indicating that there were indeed living people hiding in it.
If you can find that living person, you may be able to solve many of his questions.
No one responded, and everyone continued to look at Li Teng with that weird smile.
Of course, they were not looking at Li Teng, but at the direction of the entrance of the hall.
Because when Li Teng walked deeper into the hall, their eyes did not follow Li Teng.
This means that all of them are just motionless wax figures.
The details of the wax figure are too realistic, almost no different from a real person standing still, which makes it difficult for Li Teng to find out the person who made the footsteps just now.
"I'm just passing by, I have no ill will."
"I don't know how I got here."
"I hope someone in the know will come forward and tell me what all this is going on."
"If you don't come out, I'll have to resort to some extraordinary means."
Li Teng shouted a few more times in the hall, touched the wax figure beside him, and after hesitating for a moment, he picked up a fork from the dining table and slammed it into the eye of the wax figure next to him.
If a living person really wants to hide in these wax figures, this is the only way to force him to appear.
"Damn!"
After the fork in Li Teng's hand touched the wax figure, it made a metal impact sound, several fork teeth were bent instantly, and Li Teng's arm holding the fork was shocked and numb.
Wax figures, but unscathed.
Is this a wax figure?
Is there a wax figure made of such a hard material?
"You guys go ahead with the party, I'm just passing by, I'll go look elsewhere."
Li Teng shook his head, turned around and prepared to leave through the door of the hall.
It's too weird here, and it also means unknown danger.
Li Teng was not forced to do so just now, and he didn't want to make an offensive move.
Once you have done it, you have to guard against retaliation by these wax figures.
Li Teng didn't think of these wax statues as dead things anymore, and he didn't know what they were.
But it felt like it should be something he couldn't afford to mess with.
When Li Teng turned around and was about to leave, he was shocked again.
Ask for collections, ask for recommended tickets~
