If the hotel lobby was a little dark, the stairwell where William followed his attendant was almost completely dark, and there was no lighting in any way.

Seeing William pause, the black rat attendant on the side explained:

"Don't mind, most nezumi prefer a dark, damp environment, so we don't have lighting in the 'passage' area of the hotel and keep it dark.

There are many similar places inside Rat City, and I hope you can get used to it

Please come with me, your room is on the fourth floor. ”

At this moment, Thirteen's voice came from behind him: "Teacher, do you need me to provide lighting?" ”

"It's okay, follow the locals."

William deliberately hid the hole card of Thirteen, after all, it cost a full 100,000, and it was still a discounted price, and the candle puppet that had been perfectly transformed by the Duke's Chamber of Commerce must be an important basis for exploring the abyss.

It is entirely possible that the 'abyss' in William's eyes is some kind of living thing. Releasing her candle flame early could scare the snake.

And this level of darkness can be penetrated by William simply with his own vision.

At present, I have glimpsed that there is a problem with the 'gap' in the stairwell,

Dense black rat hairs grow between the crevices along the walls, and as you look at them, you will notice that these wriggling rat hairs seem to be slightly thicker, more like rat tails than hair.

When William's leather shoes stepped on, the tails automatically retracted.

On the fourth floor, the horizontal passages of the entire floor were also pitch black, with more rat tails growing on both sides of the aisles, and even some sticking to the walls.

Finally came to the end of the bargain room.

The lock was actually a completely hardened rat corpse, which immediately softened as he inserted the key into his mouth.

Click! The moment the door opened.

A rotten, moldy smell overflowed as the door opened, and a large number of rat tails retracted into the cracks in the wall the moment the door opened.

The Black Rat Squire explained:

"The special room is rarely inhabited, and it may have some taste, I hope you don't mind."

"It's fine."

"Dear guest, if you have any questions during your stay, just tap the head of the bed and say what you need.

The 'messenger rat' inside the wall will immediately bring your needs to the front desk of the hotel, and we will solve the problem for you as soon as possible.

In addition, we have a unified meal here, and you can go to the restaurant on the second floor to enjoy our special meals in Rat City at any time.

I'm not going to bother if it's nothing. ”

Click~

As he closed the door, William also released the chains to seal it off completely.

The only candle at the head of the bed is lit, providing a tiny amount of light.

The round bed resembles a rat's nest, the bedding is moldy and even has a lot of mouse droppings left, and the water flowing from the bathroom is light green, barely enough to take a bath.

"Teacher, there seems to be something wrong with the hotel."

"Hmm...... It's good to have problems, as long as they can solve them, we can speed up our understanding of Rat City. If you find trouble, you don't have to rush to light the candle, I'll solve it. ”

"Okay.

In other words, with your ability, you can carry out large-scale missions in this city, and you can easily figure out the situation here, and you can also have a group of plague students to do things for you, and even use them as cannon fodder to explore the location of the abyss in advance. ”

"If I don't have a bottom line when it comes to recruiting students, my very nature as a teacher will also be affected. The rats here are so inferior and disgusting that even their brains are dripping with green rot.

Moreover, it is very likely that the city has been affected by the abyss, and it is important not to be surprised until you are unsure of the problems behind it...... Maybe someone with a bigger brain than me has already controlled some of the mice.

If I educate them again, they may be able to understand my madness in advance, and may even have an effect on me against the students' brains. ”

"I'm sorry I didn't think it through...... I haven't been with my teacher for a long time, and I've become a little conceited, and I'll try to correct it. Thirteen lowered his head, and even felt a drop of wax oil fall.

"It's good to have your own ideas, but you can process and deduce your ideas as much as possible to get a more refined and accurate conclusion~ Okay! It wasn't early, and it was a little hot along the way, so I went to take a shower and went to bed. ”

"Teacher, you want to take a bath here?" Thirteen just asked this and felt that his words seemed to be a bit much, and hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth.

"yes, what...... You want to come along? ”

"No~ No! My body is not suitable for contact with liquids~ If the teacher wishes to do so, I am also willing to wash my body with you. ”

"Just kidding, just keep watch outside."

William walked into the bathroom with a suitcase and lit the white candle on the sink.

Who knows, the moment the fire spreads out.

Hiss! A hissing sound,

The rat's tails that grew in the cracks in the bathroom wall were all retracted, and they let out a sound of discomfort. It was as if a split second of light made these tails, accustomed to darkness, quite uncomfortable, and even burned.

William didn't care about these 'rats in the wall',

He opened the suitcase and looked at the leather folded inside, an "apostle's skin" of incalculable value from the tannery's gatekeeper.

A month of circus life was too tight for William to have time to deal with, and although he had time now, it was still a bit of a hassle to be in a hotel like this.

"Once the apostle's skin is taken out, it is easy to startle the snake, forget it...... This skin can be used between pathways, and maybe it can also play a good boosting role, and there is really no need to transform "black dead skin" now. ”

William, who took off his clothes, stood under the sprinklerhead, the light green water washed over his body, and the invading pathogens were still all dead in his body after being beaten violently.

Everything is normal during washing,

William pressed his hands against the bathroom wall, quietly feeling the inside of the wall, a strange smile on his face.

Wash up.

William, who returned to the room, was not too dirty at all, and fell directly on the mattress like a rat's nest.

Instead of using gentleman's clothing to isolate the mold on the mattress, he took off his shirt to deliberately reveal his solid and beautiful body.

This scene made Thirteen stunned, and he always felt that the teacher he hadn't seen for a month had changed a lot.

"Teacher, you can sleep at ease, I have a brand new candle now, and it doesn't matter if you don't have to rest."

"Pretend to rest, pretend everything is normal."

"Oh, got it."

Thirteen followed the instructions and switched to "standby mode", without any light emitting from his skull, and the whole person stood at the door like an ornament.

After being transformed and upgraded by the Chamber of Commerce, she will not release any vitality in this mode, but her mind is still there, and she can sense everything around her, which is very suitable for serving as a night sentinel.

I don't know how long it has passed,

When the humid and stuffy room made William's exposed upper body covered with sweat and roll back and forth on the bed,

Squeak ~ It seems that there are a large number of even dense rats scurrying inside the wall,

Immediately after, dense black rat tails stretched out,

This time it is not only the crack in the wall, but also directly piercing through the wallpaper, the ceiling, and even the bathroom!

Tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of rat tails intertwined and coiled around the room, eventually forming a huge pitch-black rat skull, enough to swallow William's body in one gulp.

Thirteen, who was standing at the door, noticed the anomaly very early, and was about to burn the candlelight to dispel and burn such evils, but suddenly remembered the words of the teacher's previous advice, and finally chose to turn a blind eye.

Until...... Click! The black skull woven by the rat tail swallowed William into it in one gulp.
