Ritual of the Dead
The very center of the room was filled with a bath, and the air was steaming.
It is surrounded by a high platform that can be walked on, like a swimming pool.
There was a waiting staff member inside, and after a brief tidying up for the two of them, she closed the door and went out.
Vivi changed her clothes, wrapped herself in a bath towel, and went down to the pool.
A strong warm current instantly enveloped her body, and she showed a happy and comfortable expression, playing with the water, as if all her troubles had disappeared.
Compared to Xiaoyou, she has always been sullen since the incident, even at the moment when the purpose is to relax, her eyebrows are still solemn.
It's a bit stuffy here, and it's a world away from the outside world.
There is a high window on one side of the wall, which is used for ventilation and exhaust.
The moist heat filled the air like smoke, like an unreal dream.
Wei Wei suddenly cautiously approached You's side, and sounded an unintentional tone, "By the way, do you feel that the hotel seems to be a lot more deserted all of a sudden?" ”
Billy City is freezing cold, and judging by the number of tourists in the past, the baths should be one of the hottest places!
But it turned out that there was no one here, and when they returned to the inn before, there was no one in the lobby.
"I didn't really care, it seemed that there was really that little bit when you said it." Xiaoyou recalled, and the feeling of desolation couldn't help but arise.
"Yes, yes! It's a strange city. Weiwei said very quietly, for fear that others would hear.
Her head really can't hold so many extraneous things.
"Don't think about it, hurry up and wash it up and go back to your room."
"Well, okay~"
When it was nightfall, it was finally a real nightfall.
Because of the drop in temperature, the sky finally broke free from the shackles of the fog, but at the same time ushered in the polar night.
Bright stars hang in the sky like broken diamonds, turning into fine sand and blooming with gorgeous brilliance.
Billy City is filled with a cold air, and the dark gray Gothic buildings are like heavy ice stones, rigid but majestic.
The eye-catching lights on the street paint a wonderful artistic conception of this strange city.
After taking a bath, Xiao You and Wei Wei both changed into white bathrobes and tied up their long and damp hair.
As he was leaving the bath and walking towards his room, he happened to pass by Uncle Sharru.
He must have been stunned, and immediately stopped the two girls, "Hey! Good evening! ”
They both stopped at the same time, smiling as little talk.
"Good evening." Xiaoyou and Weiwei replied in unison.
"Speaking of which, why haven't I seen you all day today? Where to play again? He asked, his voice low and hoarse.
"We went out to run some errands, what's wrong?" Vivi mistakenly thinks that Sharru has something to do with them.
"It's nothing~" Shareru pretended to be relaxed, but his eyes were unblinking, "I'll just give up today, and try to go out as little as possible tomorrow, girls." He reminded in a tone of admonition, kindly.
The two looked at each other questioningly.
Xiaoyou blurted out, "Go out less? Why?? ”
"I'm kind enough to remind you that tomorrow is the first day of the polar night's festival of the dead, and the festival wizards will select the witches to be sacrificed this year in the city, and everyone can't hide, so don't go to the streets to die!"
Vivi's eyes widened, "Ritual of the Dead??! Why does it sound like an illegal ritual run by a crooked sect~"
"Don't talk nonsense!!" The uncle blew his beard excitedly and glared, "There are too many strange things happening in Billy City, the Death Festival is a grand ceremony that has been handed down thousands of years ago, in order to suppress the evil forces hidden in Billy City, although people have been reluctant to be sacrificed over the years, but once they are chosen, it can be called a glory, but if it is a traveler who is selected, it will be a big loss!" ”
"Oh~" Wei Wei nodded suddenly in realization, "No wonder the hotel is so deserted all of a sudden, it turns out that everyone has escaped!" ”。
She's so funny and funny, completely ignoring the point at hand.
