Chapter 109: The Gathering Point
The new gathering point wasn't meant to be what Lynch had in mind, in some inconspicuous little corner of some room or something, and it was located right in the middle of the city, as a slightly larger building, next to the other houses in the dark. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The building looks prominent, and its location is also in front of a junction, at the very top of the fork between two roads, and it looks like a landmark.
Compared to other dilapidated buildings, this building is quite well preserved. But with only two people to take care of such a large building, can you handle it?
Lynch stood behind, silently watching Aiden in front of him effortlessly push open the thick and dilapidated double doors in front of them, which were more than three people tall.
Accompanied by the old sound of "squeak", the first thing that catches Lynch's eye is a long hallway.
This is all too familiar...... Lynch stood in the doorway, looking at the long, narrow hallway behind the door.
At the end it looks like it's supposed to be a place similar to a hall, but there's a corridor on the opposite side. Lynch didn't know exactly where they were going.
Lynch followed Aiden, who was speechless in front of him, into the building slowly, and then watched as he turned and pulled up the two thick ropes embedded in the door, which he held like a slender man, and pulled them back with force.
With a bang, the door was shut.
Every time you come across this kind of similar hallway, nothing good will happen. Lynch smelled something moldy in the corridor, looked at the wooden doors with talisman paper on both sides and the lamp hanging on the side of the gatehouse, and suddenly felt that there was something inexplicable about this place.
"It used to be a hotel...... Lynch muttered to himself.
"What?" Aiden, who had just walked past him and was about to continue to lead the way, stopped, turned to stare at Lynch, his expressionless face became even more gloomy under the dim light: "Hotel, what is that." ”
Lynch looked at Aiden's gloomy face and shrugged his shoulders: "A thing I've heard people say before, it's nothing. ”
"Got it. Aiden replied stiffly, then put a finger to his lips and made a "silence" gesture at Lynch.
"Until you see Devon, don't speak out loud, don't use perception, never use perception. ”
"Well, I just want to change my clothes......"
"Follow me. Aiden ignored Lynch, instead turning around and heading towards the front of the hallway.
Lynch also froze helplessly, the long sword in his hand was still clenched, and the follower Aiden continued to walk towards the depths of the corridor.
Even though the lanterns are full, it still looks a little dark.
Lynch walked slowly, one hand flat behind Aiden, who seemed to be carrying a lantern, and looked around.
The gatehouses on both sides have talisman paper pasted in front of their doors, while others do not.
There was always some movement in the paper room, and every time the two of them passed by the door of one of these rooms, there would be either wailing, or some thin, but very clear and penetrating neurotic whispers and low laughter.
Others simply banged on the door, sounding powerful and deep again and again, accompanied by the concierge
It's like a neurological hospital.
Lynch looked at Aiden, who was walking in front, and his heart was full of doubts.
Aiden in front of him suddenly stopped, turned around, and made another silent gesture to Lynch, this time his face was a little solemn.
Lynch spread his hands helplessly to him again and began to lip shape:
"I can't speak, what are you worried about?"
Aiden nodded, let out a long sigh of relief, and turned to walk forward again.
Lynch looked over Aiden's shoulder, only to notice that a door with runes in front of them was wide open.
An old woman with gray hair who looked a little old was hunched over her waist and covered with talisman paper, standing in front of the door, smiling at the two people who came across her.
On this face full of wrinkles and age spots, the old man's long eyelashes and eyes crooked because of his smile looked very out of tune, she also did not make a sound, accompanied by some heavy breathing, just smiled silently, looking at the two people who were also silent walking towards her.
Footsteps echoed.
The old man who slipped out of his room stood at the edge of the hallway, and then Lynch and Aiden skipped her.
When passing by, Lynch looked into the house with some curiosity, and found that it was pitch black inside, even if he had not withdrawn it, and it was difficult for him to see the pure black scene inside in a hurry.
Compared to the black fog outside, it was more like a place of pure darkness.
"Die. A voice whispered softly in Lynch's ear.
Lynch came back to his senses and turned to look at the old woman standing bowed by the porter.
She was also looking at Lynch at this time, her head turning with the figures of the two of them, but there were no other superfluous movements, and she still maintained a smile as before, and her squinted eyes almost narrowed into a slit.
By this time they had already passed the old woman, and Lynch felt that he had been staring at him like this, as if he had no deterrent effect on this guy who didn't know whether it was a man or a ghost, so he turned his head back and continued to follow Aiden's back.
"Die. A soft, dry voice rang in Lynch's ears again.
Lynch turned her head suddenly, and found that the old man's expression behind her had become extremely hideous at some point, and his face was cracked like a piece of paper with a wild laugh, and blood kept gushing out of it, and she laughed silently as she walked towards Lynch and the two.
Lynch didn't stop, he just turned back to look at the scene, clenching the electric sword in his hand, restraining himself from wanting to attack.
Since this is a gathering point, it is impossible to let such a ghost-like creature run rampant here.
Sure enough, a large, scaly, rust-colored hand stretched out from the room with the door wide open, grabbed the monster walking towards the two and dragged it back to the dark room.
Lynch looked back.
"Die, die, die......" The frantic murmur still whispered in Lynch's ear, and it was not until the door slammed that the sound disappeared as if it had been choked off.
Lynch turned back again, and the long hallway behind him was silent, and even the blood stains left by the monster-like guy before were gone, as if nothing had happened.
The two of them walked out of the corridor and came to a place that looked like a hall.
"Hello, is there anything you can help with?"
On a row of chairs on one side of the hall sat a well-dressed young man, with a pair of round glasses and a gentle smile on his face, who stood up and smiled at the two Lynches as they walked into the hall.
