"That's enough, little Jamie, go back to Mommy." The woman beckoned behind the counter.

Jamie lifted the sheets depressedly, turned back as he walked, and asked Lan Shuying very stubbornly: "Why aren't you afraid, where am I not good enough?" ”

Lan Shuying's face was expressionless, and her words were sharp and hit the sore spot: "You are too short." ”

Jamie: "......"

Jamie's Mom: "......"

Red Lotus: "...... Burst. ”

On the way to the counter, she rubbed the top of the child's head:

"Remember to eat more in the future, you are so cute, it would be a pity if you didn't grow tall."

I heard a lot of this sentence, and it pleased two people at once.

For the first time, little Jamie laughed happily when he heard someone other than his parents compliment him on his cuteness;

And that woman, although it seems that she has a sick brain and is not easy to get along with, you must know that mothers all over the world have a common worry: children don't like to eat.

This sentence can be regarded as speaking to her heart.

The woman hugged her bear child and smiled.

Lan Shuying had to interrupt the performance of the two of them "Mother and Son":

"Excuse me, can I check in now?"

Without thinking about it, the woman said, "Of course not." ”

“…… Why? ”

"There are no rooms, we are all long-term tenants here, there are only five empty rooms, and they are full today!"

The woman thought about it, there should be no guests today, she was a little lost, pulled out the prop switchblade in her heart, and flew half of the bear child's face was full of blood spots.

Lan Shuying selectively ignored this absurd scene.

She closed her eyes and thought for a moment, then reached for the two keys.

At this time, she didn't even need to hand the key under the lamp to take a closer look, the touch of her fingers had already come to the answer: the patterns and words on the key were gone.

Two-sided, smooth as a mirror.

I guess the outline of the key has been revised.

Now, it doesn't match the keyhole in any of the rooms in the Adventurer's House, and that's the punishment given to her in the first round of the game: the latecomer doesn't have a room to stay.

Lan Shuying sighed.

I see.

There are seven players at the start, each of whom is given a key.

The room labeled 3F01 is on a first-come, first-served basis, while the other four empty rooms can be checked in with this not-so-normal hostess.

As for the last two players to arrive, consider themselves unlucky.

She was unlucky because she was delayed on the road for too much time.

The man in red was even more unlucky than her, because he was already out, something that the five tenants upstairs probably didn't know yet.

Perhaps other players have thought of more than one key of the same kind...... Everyone was brought here, and according to the inertia of their thinking, they would pay more attention to the people who moved in together.

Once someone else's player identity is identified, the encounter begins.

There may be a pair of eyes staring at her in the dark. She is too conspicuous to appear in the end, and she can easily become a prey in the eyes of others.

It's evening, because the rain has eaten into the daylight, and the night will come sooner.

The rule reminds you not to stay overnight outside the house, and the consequences are not yet known...... Well, in short, she desperately needs a place to settle down now.

The proprietress was in a fickle mood, and she was still expressing her appreciation just now, but now she sneered and opened her mouth to drive people away:

"There's no room for a sixth guest here, and while it's still dark, I advise you to find a place to stay, you won't like the nights here...... Giggles. ”

Lan Shuying turned around and left.

She first walked around the street, but unfortunately couldn't find a second hotel, which was a rather depressed and dilapidated street.

The only coffee shop that was open except for the Adventurer's House was the coffee shop, but they were ready to close and refused to stay overnight.

She went to the last street again.

At first glance, I noticed that the shop run by the best watchmaker in the city was closed.

The same is true for other stores.

As for the residences, none of them were lit up.

Lan Shuying tried to knock on the door of a certain house, but there was a figure shaking inside, but it was silent, let alone open the door.

"They act as if they ...... As soon as it gets dark, youkai go to the street to catch children. Lan Shuying said sullenly.

She didn't try any other streets, and returned to the Adventurer's House.

The doors are still open.

"Yo, why are you back again?"

The proprietress asked, but her tone was not at all surprised—she expected that the poor stranger would not find a place to stay.

In fact, there is one place that will definitely accept her, and that is the police station where Claude is located.

The problem is that it's too far away, and it's sure to be dark halfway there.

Lan Shuying avoided the proprietress and asked Little Jamie, "Where is the reading room?" ”

Little Jamie likes this sister who praises him for his cuteness.

"You come with me!"

He ran merrily and led her down a long corridor. At the end of the door, there is a closed iron door, and light shines through the cracks.

Inside it was spacious, with a dozen large bookshelves and no chairs.

"Dad, it's almost dinner time!"

Little Jamie expertly found one of the bookshelves, crouched down, and said to a short and fat man on the ground who looked like a wine barrel.

This should be the Uncle Tommy that the innkeeper, the little boy at the orchard, said.

If this is a private reading room, then it's understandable why there are no chairs, as the boss is quite sizable and it would be difficult to build a chair that can hold his weight.

"Oh, there's a stranger coming in." Uncle Tommy closes the book he was reading and puts it back on the shelf.

He stood up coldly, crunching as his fingers stretched. The whole person resembles a beast about to attack.

"Tell me about your intentions, but if you want to spend the night, then forget it, I can't give you my room."

"I can rest in the hall and pay for my room."

Uncle Tommy grinned, "Looks like you've heard about the dangers of the night. ”

Lan Shuying smiled politely.

Actually, she didn't know, she just thought everyone was scared.

His tone changed, and he suddenly began to reject people thousands of miles away: "What reason do I have to take you in?" ”

"It depends on what troubles are bothering you right now." Lan Shuying replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

He would ask this sentence, instead of driving her away, it would be much better to communicate than the proprietress outside.

If you're in trouble, I'll see if I can help you out.

If I could, I would be paid permission to stay in the hotel for the night.

It's easy to understand a deal.

"Hahaha!" The boss raised his three-layered chin and laughed three times, "I have a happy family, a rich life, and I am very happy to be accompanied by knowledge, you, want to help me solve my troubles?" ”

By implication, he wasn't in trouble at all.

"I'm sorry, I don't think so." Lan Shuying shook her head, "There is a saying in my hometown that drunks will not admit that they are drunk. ”

"Oh......" The boss's smile faded slightly, his flesh trembled, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he said slowly: "You think I'm lying?" ”
