Chapter 12: The Horror Painting (1)
Night~~~
A high-class hotel where Alice stayed
"I didn't believe much in the art capital before, but now I fully believe in it. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The frescoes carved on the ceiling of the living room, the abstract oil paintings hanging on the walls, and the antique vases of unknown age on the cabinets and coffee tables, it is impossible for an ordinary hotel to be so spacious and antique...... Well, as I said earlier, Alice is not an artist, and I can't tell if it's genuine, but since the hotel waiter said it was genuine, it was genuine.
If so–
"If you smuggle these out and sell them, you may be able to earn back the money you occupied, and by the way, you will have a surplus...... I'm kidding, don't take it seriously. Remembering that the hotel waiter was still behind her, Alice added the last sentence with a smile.
"Miss is really joking. Alice's joke made the hotel waiter's heart skip a beat.
With a few hundred gold coins a day, civilians can't stay in high-end hotels, and they don't dare to stay unless they are very bold enough to smash the savings they have saved in the past few years...... The aristocracy who had the money to move in would not have taken away the antique murals so badly.
The scenery from the balcony is also unique, with tropical trees, a beautiful lake surrounded by trees, and a natural beauty that can be seen from the balcony...... After all, even cities are built on lakes, and it makes no sense that hotels are not. "The water in the lake is also fresh, and you can swim straight from the balcony. "Alice walked out of the balcony enjoying the cool breeze of the night.
"Guest, please don't do that!" the hotel waiter admonished in a cold sweat...... The guest who stayed at the check-in accidentally drowned, it was a big deal. "If you want to swim, there is a dedicated outdoor pool that is connected to a wild lake...... The possibility of an aquatic monster cannot be ruled out. "For example, a different worldly version of a crocodile.
"I'm sorry to bother you. ”
“...... It's my duty. "Whew, fortunately, the guests are easy to talk to.
"Then again, there are very few mosquitoes in this city...... There is no trace of a magical enchantment either. "The view of the nature reserve outside the balcony always felt like there were a lot of mosquitoes in summer...... Even if it's autumn. For mosquito situations and wild camping, Alice always sets up an enchantment before going to bed.
"Don't worry about this guest. The hotel waiter patiently explained. "We used the trees of the Elven Forest, and the material of the building itself has a mosquito repellent effect. "It's not concrete, this guesthouse is completely wooden...... Architectural associations towards the rainforest.
"Huh, that's amazing?" Alice was surprised.
If this is the case, then it is understandable why people often say that elves are handsome, and their affinity for the wild is one aspect, and the other point may be that the area where they live is free from mosquito bites all year round.
The maid lady was preparing the bath water in the bathroom, this hotel seemed to allow pets to be brought into the room, and the monster king was lying on the fur carpet of unknown creatures in the center of the living room, chewing something, was it an illusion, and always felt that the fur carpet was missing a corner......
"Can you ask one last question?" After admiring the night view of the wild area from the balcony, returning to the living room, Alice asked curiously. "Did something happen to your hotel?"
“...... Why do you ask? ”
"Obviously, after the news of the demonic invasion of the city, there were many refugees who fled here, so the hotels in the city were almost full...... There's no reason your family is so lonely. In fact, before nightfall, according to the guidebook in hand, Alice had already found five hotels, all of which were full...... This is the only one.
Spreading her hand, Alice turned around in a circle, facing the hotel waiter, and smiled. "Obviously the facilities are so good, and the conditions are also good...... It can't be the reason for the price. "There is more than one of the high-end hotels in the city.
“...... Guest, if I tell you the truth, I'm afraid you will—" The hotel waiter's difficult answer would scare the customer away to be honest.
"Is it a ghost story...... It's not good to hide customers, right?".
"......" the hotel waiter sighed. "Honestly, it's pretty much the same as a ghost story. ”
In the past two days, I don't know what happened, but a small number of the guests who lived in the hotel mysteriously disappeared at night, so the owner of the hotel went to the mercenary union to invite the Magister to come and check ...... However, it didn't work, and nothing was wrong. There are no traces of the bodies of the guests in the surrounding lakes and wild areas. After the news of this incident, no one wanted to live here.
"Guest, have you decided to stay here?" asked the waiter at the hotel, cautiously.
"Of course. Alice glanced at the hotel waiter strangely and chuckled: "Could it be that if I repent, you can return my money now." ”
Waiter: "......" is impossible.
"Anyway, even if you don't want to, you won't have any other places to live tonight...... It's impossible to sleep on the street. "I took the small red fruit from the fruit plate on the coffee table and put it in my hand to admire.
"Sounds good, this hostel is fun. "Gently gnawed up.
The adventurous spirit peculiar to a young man of this age, a girl who is not afraid of death...... The waiter at the hotel gave the girl a deep look.
"That's right. Alice remembered something.
"......?"
"Since this hotel is a brain ghost, why hasn't it closed down yet?" the silver-haired girl smiled curiously.
“......”
