Chapter 138: Sweet Town (2)
The driver said firmly: "How can this road be wrong, not to be able to see the houses in the town." β
Seeing is seeing, but the problem is that after walking for so long, the distance of the house seems to have not changed at all.
The player walking behind whispered, "This quest doesn't always come up and make trouble." β
Normally, the dungeon didn't even enter the map at the beginning, so it was impossible to encounter any danger, but after walking for so long, everyone had some doubts in their hearts.
The driver's flashlight reflected a faint glow on the rain-soaked ground, and just as everyone shivered in the rain, they finally felt closer to the town.
They saw the lights in the town.
At this point, nearly two hours had passed since they got out of the car.
"Are we going to keep going?" Someone said, "This is ...... gone."
"What else can I do if I don't leave?" The short-haired man interrupted him, "I don't have the courage to do this, how dare you come here." β
"Do you hear anything else?" The female player with a high ponytail suddenly spoke.
"No, it's just the sound of rain and the wind."
The person next to him said, "It's normal to hear some sounds at night in such a remote place. β
I don't know if they really didn't hear it, or if they didn't hear it, but it doesn't match normal.
Jiang Qi looked at the open space on the left, there was a sound just now, not the sound of the wind or the rain, but the cry of people and the sound of walking footsteps, but there was nothing over there.
She couldn't see clearly, she wasn't sure.
After walking a little further, it was already eleven forty o'clock in the evening.
They enter the sweet town.
There was no one here, the curtains were drawn in every house, the lights were out, and their footsteps were so clear that they seemed to have an echo of their breathing.
Thin rains enveloped the town, and the dark and silent buildings made people feel deeply uneasy.
From the architecture of the town, you can see that it was once prosperous and lively, the stone brick houses and streets have the unique characteristics of Western-style architecture, and the houses in the town are well preserved, not like a deserted state.
Of course, no one dared to knock on the door.
"Shall we find a family and ask them for help?" The short-haired man said to the NPC.
He wanted NPCs to knock on the door.
"There will be hotels in the town, let's find a hotel first, it's not good to disturb others at night." That's what the driver said.
They walked through the town for more than ten minutes in the cold rain, and finally saw the houses with lights on, and the word 'hotel' was hung on them.
The NPC driver knocked on the door, and it took a while for the people inside to come and open the door.
Squeak β
The old wooden door made a cold sound.
The middle-aged man behind the door cautiously pulled open a crack and looked at them vigilantly, "Who are you?" β
γ'Inn Owner'γThis time the system displays less information.
"We were traveling to the town of Sethi and we took the wrong way and the car broke down, so we came here to stay for one night." The driver replied.
The man behind the door opened the door with a somewhat sluggish expression, "Come in." β
When ten players and one NPC enter the lobby of the hotel, the space becomes cramped.
Outside, they saw that the light in the window was not an electric lamp, but an old-fashioned kerosene lamp burning on the table.
The hotel lobby also looks very old, with black mold spots on the wallpaper.
"50 in a room." The man looked at them and said, "The townspeople go to bed early, the shops are closed, and there will be no food." β
The player pulls out his wallet and pays for it, and the man takes out the keys from the drawer and hands them one each, with the door number tag on the key.
The hotel has four floors, the second floor to the fourth floor, five rooms on each floor, a total of fifteen rooms, and now there is no one else in the hotel, and they can choose where they want to stay, and they don't need to register.
The NPC driver is in a relatively small single room on the first floor.
The rest of the players chose the adjacent rooms at this time, and there were exactly ten rooms on the second and third floors, and no one wanted to live in the tail room.
It's not because the tail room is unlucky, but the tail room has a balcony, and there is a path at the bottom, facing the factory behind, and the location is not very good.
Something can climb directly down the balcony into the room, who can sleep.
Xie Chaoci took the key to the rear room on the third floor and gave Jiang Qi the key to 304 next door.
The player on the second floor of 205 didn't know that this was the case in this room at first, and his face changed when he entered it.
She didn't want to live in this room, and she didn't want to go to the fourth floor alone, so she took the key and called Xie Chaoci, who was going upstairs.
"Otherwise, we won't live in the tail room, how about changing to the fourth floor?" Qi Zhen, a female player with a high ponytail, said.
The innkeeper, who was showing them the way with a kerosene lamp, looked impatient and waited for them to confirm whether they wanted to change rooms.
Xie Chaoci looked at Jiang Qi and said softly, "No need to change." β
"Okay, then it's decided." The innkeeper turned around and said as he walked,
"Don't talk about changing rooms in the middle of the night, in fact, the last room is the most spacious, and there is a balcony, if there are no guests now, this room is more expensive, the town is quiet, don't worry about someone making noise to rest you."
Isn't it quiet, there is not even a ghost shadow, but the factory behind is lit up, Jiang Qi thought to himself.
The innkeeper sent them outside, and when they opened the door, he went down with a kerosene lamp.
In the yellowed light, his shadow fell on the wall and slowly disappeared around the corner of the staircase, along with the light and the sound of footsteps.
The moment his eyes turned dark, Jiang Qi took out a flashlight, "I'll go in first." β
"Hmm." Xie Chao replied.
He watched Jiang Qi close the door before walking to room 305 next door.
The sound of the old wooden door closing was especially clear in the quiet hallway, and after a few seconds, the outside hallway was quiet again, except for the whimpering wind and the rain on the windows.
Jiang Qi held a flashlight to shine in the room, it was well furnished, the style was retro, but because it had been uninhabited for a long time, it looked gloomy and old, and there was a dull smell in the air.
There was a kerosene lamp and half a box of matches on the table, there was no kerosene in it, and there was a lamp in the room but it could not be lit for half a day, and it was also impossible to count on it.
Jiang Qi walked to the window and tried to open it, the rain outside was not heavy, the wide streets of the town were empty, and the neat houses were all black, only one street lamp was on.
Is there still a town like this inhabited?
When they came, they saw only the hotel lights on.
There is also a problem with the kerosene lamps lit in the hotel.
The copy information said that this once glorious town had declined, and the scene they saw from all the way in was not only declining, but simply desolate.
But the buildings and streets in the town look very clean, not like a place where no one lives.
But they didn't see anyone other than the innkeeper.
