55 Orange Town (2)
Regarding Yan Yueming's decision to go to the hotel to stay overnight, Zhao Shen was against it, and said eagerly: "I am a lesson from the past, what are you still stepping on this pit for?" Shouldn't you avoid it? β
Li Zheng said: "The hotel is already the safest place to live in the town. β
Zhao Shen's face was full of disbelief, "The most safest? β
Wen Renjing patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "You may not know that Orange Red Town has a nickname in the Search and Rescue Department of the Gas Phase Bureau, called Death Town. β
Zhao Shen couldn't help but weaken his legs, and Li Zheng, who was walking in front, would not slow down for him.
The hostel is just around the corner, and it's about ten minutes down the road. This is also the reason why Zhao Shen fled from the hotel in a frightened state, obviously unfamiliar with this place, but he was able to escape all the way to the bridge. When he saw the three-story inn again, warmly lit in the dark, his eyes were full of resistance.
The hotel is a wooden house with an orange-red lacquered exterior that has been mottled by the wind and sun. It also does not have a "Entry and Exit Instructions" at the door, and a "Commercial" sign hangs on the door. Push the door in, on the left hand side is a living room for eating, on the right hand side is the counter, the layout is a bit like a youth hostel.
Behind the counter sat a tall, lanky old man in a waistcoat, nodding and dozing.
Li Zhengjing stepped forward, knocked on the table, and said, "Accommodation." β
The old man was woken up, opened his cloudy eyes and looked at them, stunned, and it took a long time to react, "Oh, it's accommodation, there happens to be an empty room upstairs." β
Hearing this, Zhao Shen whispered to Wen Renjing: "He also told me the same thing just now. β
The old man seemed to be unaware of it, and said, "We only have a single room here, and we can't mix them." But at all prices, how much do you want to live? β
Li Zheng asked lightly: "How much money do you have?" β
All the old man's movements were slow, as if his bones had rusted, and his cloudy gaze swept over several people, and said, "There is no cap." β
Is there a cap? Wouldn't that be a lion that could just open his mouth?
Yan Yueming instinctively felt that there was fraud in this, and sure enough, Li Zheng quickly reported a decent number, "1500 per room, three rooms, on the same floor as him." β
The last one refers to Zhao Shen.
The old man didn't have any special reaction, took out the pen from the pen holder, took out a thick dark green registration book, opened it, and said, "Name." β
Li Zheng: "Xiaohong." β
Yan Yueming hurriedly followed, "Little Green." β
Wen Renjing: "Hmm??? β
When did you say you wanted to use a pseudonym?
Wen Renjing hurriedly thought of one for himself, and said, "My name is Xiaobai." β
Zhao Shen is a little blind, but he left his real name!
Wen Renjing saw his anxious appearance, and he understood, and made a look at Yan Yueming. Yan Yueming understood in seconds, and quietly glanced at the old man's registration book. As for why Wen Renjing didn't watch it himself, it was of course because he was short.
The contents of the register are simple, just the name, room number and price, which is clear at a glance. The old man also wrote slowly, and he wrote very clearly stroke by stroke, and only then did he remember Li Zheng, that is, Xiaohong.
Little Red, 203, 1500
Look up again.
Zhao Shen, 207, 360
Very good, Zhao Shenliu's real name is really true, and this can prove that he is most likely not deceiving, he is called this name, lives in 207, and the room fee is 360.
But looking up again, Yan Yueming began to rub her eyes.
That's a lot of zeros, take another look.
Xiaoyu,
"One hundred million?!" No wonder Yan Yueming was so surprised, 100 million is indeed amazing. After he finished speaking, he was shocked and quickly covered his mouth.
Wen Renjing hurriedly whispered to Zhao Shen, "Did you see other guests in the hotel when you came?" β
At this time, the old man finally registered, closed the registration book with a "snap", opened the drawer and counted out 4,500 yuan, put it on the counter in a thick stack, and took out three brass keys, the keys were pasted with the common white tape, and the room number was written on the tape.
"Take it, and ring the bell at the bedside if you have something. Hot water and meals are available 24 hours a day. β
After speaking, the old man sat back in his chair and continued to doze off, as if he was really just an NPC who sent a task, and there was no nonsense.
Li Zheng didn't say much, took the money and the key and left.
Yan Yueming was scared in the end, and took a few steps and cautiously glanced back, but she happened to meet the old man's eyes. The old man was still dozing off just now, and now he looked at him with a blank face.
Under the light, the face was like an air-dried orange peel, and the whites of the eyes were cloudy, as if they were about to fall out of their sockets.
Yan Yueming's heart trembled, and she hurriedly retracted her gaze, covering her heart and keeping up with Li Zheng's footsteps. At this time, Zhao Shen was still thinking about it, "When I came, it was what you just saw, there didn't seem to be any people in the hotel, and I ran away after less than half an hour, and then I met you...... But I know there will be rules. β
He leaned against the wall and stared at the stairs, "I don't know which rule I violated, anyway, halfway through it, I felt like I was being targeted." β
Yan Yueming and Wen Renjing looked at Li Zheng in unison.
Li Zheng was the first to step on the stairs, and at a constant speed, he climbed the stairs, "There are no more than a few common rules on the stairs. Xiaobai, you say. β
Wen Renjing cleared his throat, "Odd and even, left and right feet, and, don't look back." Since you only triggered halfway through, there is a high probability that it is not the first two, so did you turn back halfway? β
Zhao Shen was stuck, this kind of small detail, he really couldn't think of it for a while.
But it doesn't matter, practice is the only criterion for testing truth.
The remaining three people stepped up the stairs one after another, each with different feet, stepping on each step, walking cautiously without looking back.
Zhao Shen was a little weak and supported the wall the whole time, and to his surprise and delight, this time he walked up to the second floor safely and nothing was triggered.
"Whew......," he breathed a sigh of relief, barely reinvigorating himself, "and in the room, there is something wrong in the room. β
The four of them took the lead in going to Zhao Shen's room, and his room was in 207. Pushing the door in, the room was still the same as when he left, the bed was messy, there were instant noodle bowls on the table, water glasses poured on the floor, and there were traces of use in the bathroom.
"I bought instant noodles, and a bowl costs 50 yuan. When you ring the bell, someone will send it over, and it will be a beautiful young lady in uniform, who will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. By the way, she also asked me for an extra ten dollars in tips. Zhao Shen tried his best to recall the situation just now, and carefully said everything he could remember.
&nb
sp; Li Zheng quickly distilled the rules from his disorganized expressions.
One: You can't close your eyes when you take a bath.
2: You must turn off the lights when you sleep.
Three: Pay attention to the words you use when you speak, and don't violate the basic rules of the town, that is: you must practice what you say.
After hearing this, Wen Renjing looked up at the ceiling thoughtfully, "Xiao Lu, you just said that you saw Xiao Yu living in 309?" 100 million room fee? β
Yan Yueming nodded, "Yes, 309's words...... Just above the diagonal level? β
207 and 309 are not far apart.
Zhao Shen hurriedly reiterated: "I really didn't hear any movement, I was scared to death by myself!" β
Wen Renjing: "In the final analysis, is it really possible to pay 100 million for a room?" The money here is the same as in the real world, and when converted into cash, you can fill this room. β
"yes. But I would never be wrong, it's eight zeros. Yan Yueming nodded solemnly. Just kidding, in terms of money, Xiao Ming can never count wrong, "Maybe what kind of card is Xiao Yu getting?" Or a check? β
Wen Renjing: "I think we can go to 307 and have a look." β
Yan Yueming looked at Li Zheng, Li Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "You decide for yourself." β
The two stooges looked at each other, whispered a few words together, and decided to set out on the journey again. Li Zheng put one hand in his pocket and followed behind, without the slightest intention of interfering.
Zhao Shen didn't dare to stay in the room alone, so he had to follow.
The four of them came to the third floor.
The layout of the third floor is the same as that of the second floor, and the corridor is quiet, and there is no sound at all. Wen Renjing is a senior, so he took the lead in the front, Yan Yueming followed behind with a small golden axe on his waist - Zhao Shen sneakily supported the wall and walked at the end, he looked at the backs of the few people in fur coats in front of him, and only felt that they were not there to inquire about the situation, but to rob.
How like.
100 million, I will send it if I divide it into millions.
The thirst for money often overcomes fear, and Zhao Shen hid behind the robbers, and the fear in his heart was a little less. It's just disappointing that Xiaoyu is not in the room, and no one answers the door.
Yan Yueming: "I haven't seen so much money yet." β
There was still a hint of regret in the Axe Gang's voice.
Finally, he asked, "Is 1500 a safe number?" The hotel is the safest, so we chose here, 1500 is not too little, enough to spend, but not too high? It's not good to be too high? β
Wen Renjing touched his chin and said, "After the money is spent, you will completely stay in the town?" If the money is not spent...... That's like Zhao Shen, even if he runs halfway, he will still come back? β
The two looked at Li Zheng together, and Li Zheng said: "Keeping a fake name only weakens this connection, but it does not cure the root cause." β
After speaking, he added: "The last time I came to Orange Red Town was three years ago. Three years is enough time for some changes to happen here, plus the active period has arrived, so what I just said may not be all right. The town is the most dangerous during the day, and now we will go back to our rooms and take time to rest. You can't have two people in the room at the same time, so be careful yourself. β
Zhao Shenyou raised his hand hesitantly, "That, can I ask more, how many ...... What is sacred? β
Li Zheng was not interested in answering this question, Yan Yueming was only a senior, and of course it was not easy to say. The remaining one Wen Renjing straightened his waist and smiled mysteriously, "Heroes don't ask where they come from. β
Zhao Shen is a social animal, he still knows how to look at his words, and he can see that they don't want to reveal their true identity, so they wisely choose to shut up.
The four of them went back to their rooms.
Li Zheng was in 203, Yan Yueming was 204, and Wen Renjing was 205, and the three of them walked to their respective doors, glanced at each other, and then pushed the door to enter. Zhao Shen was in 207, close behind.
Yan Yueming was very cautious, and the first step was to turn on the lights first to confirm that everything was normal in the room, and then turned around and closed the door.
The structure of 204 is completely the same as that of 207, and judging from the review of 207 just now, Zhao Shen's biggest problem is that he talks too much, saying things that shouldn't be said, and violating the basic rules of the town.
The rule of survival for ordinary people: follow the path that others have walked.
The so-called law does not hold the public accountable.
So Yan Yueming quickly copied Zhao Shen's move, first called room service, and spent 50 yuan to buy a bowl of instant noodles. Instant noodles can fill the stomach, and you can also drink soup, and when you are full of food and drink, he will go to wash.
When he opened the closet, he found a safe in the closet. It's no surprise that many hotels have such equipment. The safe is closed, and I don't know what the password is, Yan Yueming looked at it carefully, but cautiously didn't get started.
There was a clock in the room.
Yan Yueming glanced at it, the orange-red town at this moment was half past three in the morning.
It's almost dawn.
Yan Yueming wanted to fall asleep quickly, but at this moment, the knock on the door sounded again.
In an instant, the string in Yan Yueming's head tightened. He didn't dare to open the door easily, so he opened the cat's eye and looked out, but he didn't see anyone.
No one, where did the knock come from.
Yan Yueming's gaze went down, saw the crack in the door, and took half a step back in an instant. And just then, a small card crept in under the crack in the door.
He looked at it, and there were two lines of words printed on it:
[Hot girl
If you are interested, please knock on the door panelγ
Yan Yueming: "......"
Probably because no one took the card, it was pushed a little bit more. Yan Yueming didn't know if it would have any impact after the card was completely pushed into the door, so after thinking about it again, she took out a hanger from the wardrobe and carefully pushed the card back with the hanger.
The card was pushed back with little resistance, as if there was no one outside the door at all.
But the sound of rustling sounded outside the door, and in a few moments, another card was sneakily pushed in. Yan Yueming looked at it, and it said:
[Innocent sister.]
If you want to, please knock on the door twice]
Yan Yueming pushed it back again.
After a while, the card was pushed a third time.
[Passionate hunk
If you are intended, please knock on the door panel three times]
The past 30 years of mankind's battle of wits and courage with the consciousness of the world are a despicable history book. It seduces you, deceives you, makes you lose yourself, falls into a trap, and becomes its believer, its puppet.
Today, Yan Yueming finally has a deeper understanding of this.
The world consciousness is a dog, it will grow, and it knows how to use men to seduce him!
