Chapter 180: The Beginning of Change
Boom Rumble......
The thunder that resounded through the world startled the two groups of people inside and outside the door.
Xu Lang frowned and glanced back at the sky in the distance, which was covered with dark clouds and stretched for thousands of miles.
Heavy rain is coming.
"Lost?"
The woman inside the door, calling the name of the puppy, soothed the trembling body, and the pair of dog eyes always stared at Xu Lang viciously.
As if Xu Lang was a monstrous beast, it made him frightened and trembled!
The dog's performance made Nameless a little puzzled, and began to look at Xu Lang carefully.
The words of the crow, the dog, and even the driver all indicate that something is wrong with Xu Lang.
However, after looking at it without a name, he didn't see anything unusual about Xu Lang.
If I had to say, where was the difference......
A little bent at the waist?
Nameless looked back at each of the executors, each standing straight, as they all waited to enter the inn, as it looked like a rainstorm was about to fall.
Only Xu Lang......
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the proprietress to comfort the puppy, Nameless leaned into Xu Lang's ear and asked, "Do you feel that something is wrong?" ”
Xu Lang was also puzzled, why this dog was so hostile to him!
But Xu Lang immediately thought of the words of the previous driver.
Crows hovered over his head and even dropped droppings, indicating that some humans on his body had difficulty smelling dead bodies.
If that's the case, then it's probably not an exaggeration for dogs to react in this way.
But Xu Lang didn't notice anything unusual about himself at all.
The only, somewhat uncomfortable thing is that the waist is a little unable to straighten.
After Xu Lang heard the nameless inquiry, he shook his head, ready to explore these later, the most important thing now is to solve the problem of accommodation quickly.
The proprietress had already held the puppy in her arms again, and her smart eyes under the white mask looked at Xu Lang.
He grinned and said, "You guys live in a hotel?" ”
Xu Lang nodded: "Six people." ”
The proprietress said as she walked inside: "There are a lot of vacant rooms, 500 a day for a room, 200 deposits per person, and the full amount will be refunded to you if there is no damage after checking out." If you don't bargain, if it's too expensive, find another place. ”
Xu Lang doesn't care about this, money is just a piece of waste paper for them, and now the most important thing is to have a place to stay.
"Then prepare six rooms for us."
Nameless waved his hand: "Five rooms, I live in one with you, and our room will be next to your room!" ”
When the proprietress heard this, she turned to look at Nameless and asked uncertainly, "You two men open a room?" Do you want to live next door to me? ”
Xu Lang looked at Nameless with some puzzlement, but Nameless repeated it again with an expressionless face.
"He and I are going to live next door to your room!"
The proprietress sneered and took off the mask casually, revealing a delicate and handsome face.
It looks like he is less than thirty years old, and his skin is very well maintained.
"Okay, then you can come with me."
When he was going upstairs, Rong Chuan and the others in the back quit.
stopped Xu Lang and Nameless, who were going up, and said, "No, we have to live with you too!" ”
The proprietress finally got impatient, "Can you not delay my time, give you half a minute to discuss and then tell me, and besides, even if the six of you only live in one room, you must count the money according to the head, don't think about taking advantage of loopholes." ”
After saying this, the proprietress walked up to the second floor with the puppy in her arms.
Xu Lang looked at Rong Chuan with a cold face, and his tone was already a little impatient: "Why are you again?" ”
Rong Chuan's attitude was very tough: "I don't have anything myself, but in our team, there are Gu Chunxia, who is already old, and Huang Hui, a child who has just come of age."
What's more, the mission hasn't started yet, and you don't want us to have some accidents and lose our staff. ”
Xu Lang's face was grim: "Now that the mission has not started, what are you afraid of?" ”
Rong Chuan shook his head and said: "This is the first time we are on a mission, we must do everything possible, even if we can't live in one, then please make sure that the four of us live next door to you, at least there is a response to the accident." ”
Xu Lang glanced at him and nodded.
The proprietress looked at the wall, touched the puppy's back, and glanced at Xu Lang and the others who came up: "Have you discussed?" ”
Xu Lang nodded, pointed to the nameless beside him and said, "He and I live next door to you, and the four people in the back live next door to us, and only open two rooms, but I will pay you the price of six rooms." ”
Then he took out a wad of bills from his bosom, and without counting them, he stuffed them all into her.
When the proprietress saw this pile of money, she smiled and hurriedly counted it like a money fan.
This money, not to mention living for six people, is enough for sixty people.
Xu Lang interrupted the proprietress movements, "You take us to see the house first." ”
Seeing the money, the proprietress suddenly became enthusiastic, "Ladies and gentlemen, please come inside." ”
She opened a room with a wooden sliding door, which had a large bed, a wooden table and chairs, not too much space, but also thirty square meters, enough for Xu Lang and the two to live.
Then he brought Rong Chuan and the four people to the next room, the layout of the two rooms is about the same, although Rong Chuan and the others live a little crowded, but at this time, it is estimated that everyone will not sleep tonight.
I don't care about that.
After the proprietress settled everyone, she came to the door of Xu Lang's room and said to him: "After eleven o'clock in the evening, everyone is not allowed to go out of the room, and they are not allowed to turn on the lights, do not come to me, and do not go out and walk around. ”
When Xu Lang heard this, he didn't quite understand, "What do you mean by this?" ”
The proprietress began to say something in her tone, but shook her head, closed the door, and turned to leave.
Xu Lang and Nameless glanced at each other, could it be ......
They didn't dare to think about it, after all, it was not yet time for the mission, but the supernatural phenomenon had already appeared.
Originally, Xu Lang thought that the safe period was not so simple.
He turned his head to look at Nameless: "Why do you want to live next door to the boss lady?" ”
Nameless motioned to Xu Lang to whisper, he put his ear against the wall, closed his eyes and listened carefully.
After a long time, he whispered to Xu Lang:
"This woman is not ordinary, deep in the mountains and old forests, opening a store alone, I feel abnormal when I think about it. Your own dog found out about the strangeness of the guest, but he didn't even ask, don't you think something is wrong? ”
When Xu Lang heard this, he remembered the question that Nameless had asked him before.
Xu Lang took off the backpack, put it on the ground, straightened up, stretched his waist and felt extremely comfortable.
"I feel that my bag is getting heavier and heavier, I thought it was because of the long time on the plane and in the car, but things have developed to this point, I'm afraid I can't think about it anymore."
Then Xu Lang opened the backpack, and the weird black-clothed scarecrow appeared.
Xu Lang held it in his hand, but felt that it was not at all as light as it was at the beginning, but heavy, as if it had been filled with water.
He placed the scarecrow in front of Nameless, "You take a look and see if the weight has changed?" ”
Nameless took Xu Lang's scarecrow in his hand and looked it up and down.
"Nothing has changed, it's the same as before."
Xu Lang frowned and whispered, "No, I feel completely different from the previous weight, it looks like I've weighed ten pounds." ”
He began to look at the scarecrow carefully again.
The scarecrow's dark eyes were also staring at Xu Lang.
It was as if they were looking at him.
What's even more strange is that Xu Lang has a feeling of looking at himself in his heart.
As the weight of the scarecrow increased, so did his feelings.
What is the role of this scarecrow in this mission!
Xu Lang put it on the table and said to Nameless: "You say, the smell of dead bodies on my body, could it be related to this scarecrow?" ”
Nameless also took out his own scarecrow from his bag.
Completely different from Xu Lang, the scarecrow in his hand has not changed at all, although the shape is also weird, but the weight is still very light.
"I don't know, but your scarecrow does get heavier, and perhaps the strange behavior of the crow and the dog may have something to do with it.
But ......"
Xu Lang hurriedly leaned down and asked, "But what?" ”
Nameless looked at Xu Lang and said faintly: "But I don't know, the current weird situation is a change in the scarecrow, or a change in you!" ”
This......
Of course, Xu Lang understood what the nameless words meant.
His words point to two conjectures.
One is that the smell of dead bodies is emitted by the scarecrow, and the change is also the scarecrow's own change over time;
And the other situation is even more complicated, the current abnormalities are because Xu Lang himself has produced some unknown strange changes, and the smell of dead corpses is simply from himself! And it was Xu Lang's mutation that affected the scarecrow.
Because, now it is basically determined that the scarecrow is the stand-in for the executors!
Xu Lang fumbled with the scarecrow on the table, full of emotions.
This inexplicable weird feeling is the most torturous.
But they don't have any clues now, they can't explore it at all, let alone stop it.
Xu Lang sighed and said to Nameless, "Can you hear what the proprietress next door is doing?" ”
Nameless shrugged, "I'm watching a variety show, and I can even hear her hearty laughter." ”
Xu Lang smiled helplessly, stopped thinking about it, turned around and lay on the bed, closed his eyes and rested.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly I heard a click!
The lights in the hallway outside the door were all extinguished in an instant, and through the door panel, the nameless eyes flashed with a faint ghostly light.
He has special eyes that allow him to see at night.
Xu Lang also sat up nervously, watching the nameless movements.
Nameless looked at the crack in the open door and was about to poke his head out, but suddenly heard footsteps from the stairs in the distance.
Tapping, tapping, mechanical repetition, in the middle of the night, the sound sounds particularly eerie.
Nameless and Xu Lang felt cold in their hearts at the same time, and it was already eleven o'clock at this time.
The proprietress said that the rule here is not to go out after eleven o'clock.
So on the stairs, who is the person who is about to come to the second floor?
