The second floor is pitch black, and there is not the slightest light.

It was like a sleeping evil beast, waiting for the food to come to its door.

Song Zhong and the three of them stepped on the wooden stairs and walked to the second floor step by step.

"Squeak~squeak~"

From time to time, the stairs made strange noises, irritating the ears of the three of them.

"Bang bang bang!"

A strange crashing sound suddenly sounded, and the sound echoed in the empty inn, making people feel panicked.

Does this feel like someone knocking on the window outside the inn?

The fat man looked at the window in shock, and the rhythm of the window swinging was very strange.

The three of them glanced at each other, their faces were hidden under the hats, and they could only know each other's emotions through their eyes.

Song Zhong and Mo Xiaoxuan were unwavering, but the fat man's eyes were full of horror.

The fat man looked nervous, and sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead, but he was wearing a hat and covering his face, so he didn't let Song Zhong notice his fear.

Damn, there can't be a ghost here, right?

Swallowing his saliva, the fat man looked at the surrounding scenery and found that it was pitch black and there was a slight chill in the darkness, which made him instantly stunned.

The fat man looked closely, and it turned out that the window on the second floor of the inn had been blown open, and the huge wind lifted the window, causing it to pound violently against the wall.

The fat man breathed a sigh of relief and found that Song Zhong and Mo Xiaoxuan were already very close to the second floor.

The fat man quickly followed, the stairs behind him were pitch black, and something seemed to be staring at him in the darkness, so that he did not dare to linger longer.

Song finally stepped up the last staircase and went up to the second floor.

On the second floor, I couldn't see my fingers, and I could only vaguely see that the doors of the rooms on the second floor were closed.

The smell in the air changed, and Song Zhong subconsciously held his breath.

Mo Xiaoxuan said: "Do you smell anything? It's fragrant, like the smell of lilies." ”

Song Zhong showed a frightened gaze and stretched out his finger to point at the acupuncture point on Mo Xiaoxuan's shoulder.

Look at the fat man again, the fat man cleverly covered his mouth and nose.

Mo Xiaoxuan's confused head suddenly felt clear all around, and her beautiful eyes saw a delicate round box placed on the handrail of the stairs in front of her.

There was a faint smoke wafting from the small box, which could be seen even in the dark.

Mo Xiaoxuan said: "Amazing, the mask I just gave you is a mask exquisitely made by the great physician in the Holy Sect, which can prevent a lot of poisonous fog and poison in the rivers and lakes, ordinary poison can't pass through the mask at all, even if you are in the middle of the poison, you won't be fascinated by the poison for a while, but the gas in this box can actually penetrate the mask, it's really amazing." ”

"No, I'm going to burn this harmful thing. The fat man said firmly.

The fat man took out the fire fold, and the fire fold ignited, becoming the only light in the dark night.

Bring the fire fold close to the box, and the fat man plans to burn the box with the poison gas.

Seeing that the fire fold was about to approach the box.

As a result, a hand suddenly stretched out in the darkness of the night!

The hand was on the fat man's shoulder.

The fat man was stunned, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that there was a human face directly in front of him!

That face was illuminated by the light of the fire fold, and it was only four or five inches away from the fat man!

The fat man couldn't feel the temperature on that face at all!

With the help of the light of the fire fold, the fat man saw the specks of corpse spots on the human face!

Moreover, this face doesn't seem to be breathing!

"Ghost, ghost!"

The fat man stumbled, his legs were weak, and the whole person fell backwards, and the fire fold in his hand began to shake with the fat man's movements.

At this time, Song Zhong's eyes were quick and he held the fat man's figure, so he didn't let the fat man roll down the stairs.

"Woohoo!

The fat man gasped for air, apparently frightened by the man's face.

"Brother, brother, there are ghosts!

The fat man pointed to the darkness, and he could faintly see the outline of the human face in the darkness.

Song Zhong patted the fat man's back and made a reassuring motion.

Mo Xiaoxuan subconsciously approached Song Zhong, and the woman was most afraid of this kind of frightening thing, especially in the dark night, the frightened woman would subconsciously look for someone or something that she could rely on.

Song Zhong is the person Mo Xiaoxuan and the fat man can rely on at this moment.

Even if Song Zhong's martial arts realm was lower than Mo Xiaoxuan's, he was the only bold man present.

Song Zhong took a deep breath and stared at the darkness with his eyes.

Obviously, Song Zhong had already seen that face.

However, unlike Mo Xiaoxuan and the fat man's fright, Song Zhong was thinking about the problem more calmly.

"Who are you, the shopkeeper of the inn, or the second child of the inn?" Song Zhong pretended to be calm and asked.

"Ahem... Ahem..."

In the darkness, there was a soft cough, hoarse, as if something was stuck in the man's throat and he couldn't spit it out.

Immediately afterward, the darkness seemed to brighten a little, and the three of them faintly saw an old man standing in the darkness.

The old man's back was like a high hump, and I don't know how long it had been hunchbacked.

"If I were you, I wouldn't be mindful of anything!" The old man subconsciously looked at the round box beside him.

Song Zhong glanced at the old man deeply, and already understood what the old man was referring to in his words.

Song Zhong said to the fat man: "Okay, let's put away the fire fold." ”

When the fat man heard the old man talking to Song Zhong, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, he should still be a living person who can speak, and the spots on his face before should be just old age spots.

Blowing out the fire, the three of them fell into darkness again.

The old man said, "Ahem... Cough... Do the three guests want to stay in the hotel, or do you want to stay in the hotel, it is already the fifth watch, and it will be dawn in a while. ”

The old man's voice was very hoarse, which made Song Zhong and the three of them very uncomfortable to hear.

The fat man was even more eager to open the old man's mouth and see what was hidden in the old man's throat.

Song Zhong was a little surprised.

I didn't expect it to be the fifth watch now.

It will indeed be dawn in a while.

It stands to reason that as the day dawns, the inn will also light up.

It's just that the five watches have arrived, why is the inn still black with no fingers?

Could it be that the structure of this inn is extraordinary?

Even in the daytime, it will be very dark?

Song Zhong thought for a moment, and did not cling to the darkness of the inn for the time being.

"Prepare us a nice room for the three of us. Song Zhong said.

The old man suddenly covered his mouth with his hand and began to cough.

"Ahem... Cough... Ahem..."

The old man's cough kept ringing, and it was the only sound in this empty and quiet inn.

The surprise in the fat man's eyes grew more and more, and he was afraid that the old man would cough out his lungs.

I don't know how long I coughed, but the old man gradually felt a little comfortable.

He took out a large handful of keys from his waist, and the large and small keys collided together, making a crisp sound of "clanging" in the night.

The old man rummaged for the key, and Song Zhong and the three of them waited very patiently.

"This is the key, you follow the number on the key and find your own room. ”

The old man took out a key and handed it to Song Zhong.

Song Zhong reached out to take the key and accidentally touched the old man's fingers.

The old man's fingers were as cold as ice cubes in winter!

And stiff!

Song Zhong blinked, he couldn't figure out why this old man's body temperature was so low!

"You keep the money in your room, and after you leave, someone will naturally go to get the money. The old man said, "After you enter the room, don't come out again, but come out after dawn!

The old man's voice rose involuntarily.

Song finally saw the fear in the old man's eyes.

What is the old man afraid of?

What's hidden in the inn?

Who was arrested by Jinhua Jade Girl Jade Allure?

Why are the bodies on the ground missing?

Several questions came to Song Zhong's mind.

Just as Song Zhong was thinking about it, the old man had disappeared.

When the old man came, he was silent, only revealing a face and a rickety body, and when he left, he was directly hidden in the dark, which looked even more weird.

The fat man swallowed his saliva and said, "Brother, it's too weird here, why don't we go?"

Song Zhong said: "We have all come in, how can there be any reason to go out again? Besides, we will not stay too long, the sun rises, and we will leave." ”

Mo Xiaoxuan's beautiful eyes showed a trace of worry, she just thought that this "Zhitang Inn" was just a black shop, occasionally stealing customers and robbing passers-by of their money, but now it seems that "Zhitang Inn" is far from being so simple.

The previous Golden Flower Jade Girl Jade Allure City was obviously not as simple as appearing and disappearing, you must know that Jade Allure City was poisoned before it disappeared.

It's just that I don't know who arrested this Jade Allure City.

Was he caught by the people in the inn?

Or was he caught by someone outside the inn?

Before they entered the inn, there was a voice warning them not to come in.

Mo Xiaoxuan's tone was cautious: "Let's go to the room first, and discuss other things later." ”

Song nodded at the end of the day, and then asked the fat man to open the fire fold, and the faint light emitted by the fire fold was just enough for the three of them to see the scene in front of them.

The three of them walked and observed, and the second floor was full of guest rooms, and each room had a room number written on it.

And the key in their hands, on which hung a thumb-sized wooden plaque, on which was engraved the room number.

Their room is twenty-eight.

Following the number of rooms, they went all the way to 208.

As they walked, they wondered how the old man had just disappeared without a trace.

There is only one corridor on the entire second floor, and the corridor forms a large circle, and no matter which way the old man goes, it should not disappear in an instant.

Unless the old man hid in the room closest to the stairs.

But they didn't hear the door open the room.

Song Zhong felt pressure, this inn was indeed weird, no wonder people in the rivers and lakes in the past would give it a "terrifying" evaluation.

Song Zhong, who was walking in the forefront, stopped, and they had already arrived at room 208.

Room 208, it seems that no one has lived in it for a long time.

The whole room door was wooden, and there was dust on the door, and even more dust on the doorknob.

Stretching out his hand, Song Zhong gently touched the doorknob, and his hands were stained with thick dust.

According to Song Zhong, this 208 has not been cleaned for at least more than a year.

Could it be that the second child of this "Zhitang Inn" is too lazy to clean?

Mo Xiaoxuan and the fat man stood beside Song Shengli left and right, and they had already seen the dust on the door.

They looked at each other, and the faint glow of the fire folds allowed them to see each other's eyes.

They suddenly walked to either side of 208.

There is also dust on the wooden door of the room in 207 and 209!

They panicked instantly.

Not only that, but they found that the entire room on the second floor was covered in dust!

The fear in their hearts rose again.

Even if they are strong in martial arts, they have never seen such a strange thing, and they feel scared when they encounter such a strange thing!

If the old man's disappearance was into the room, then why wasn't there a trace on the door of the room on the entire second floor?

The door handle is new and clean, and it is normal for the door to be dusty when it is not opened and closed frequently.

And if the old man enters the room, he will definitely open the door, so there will be traces of palm prints on the doorknob.

However, there is no trace of this in the entire second-floor room.

Except for their own 208 rooms.

Strange!

Could it be that this "Zhitang Inn" is really haunted?

The legends on the rivers and lakes are not like this!

On the rivers and lakes, it is only said that the "Zhitang Inn" is a black shop, which is occupied by a black-hearted boss all the year round, and the boss loves to eat people's hearts, and often slaughters the guests who stay overnight and gouges out their hearts.

If the "Zhitang Inn" is really such a "stealing" black shop, Song Zhong and the three of them will be relieved!

With their martial arts, as long as the other party is not a first-class peak master, they dare to fight!

But the "Zhitang Inn" is full of weirdness, as if no one lives at all!

On the entire second floor, there are no traces of human activity in more than 20 guest rooms!

But...

Before they came in, they obviously heard the noise and fighting sound from the "Zhitang Inn".

There was also the golden flower and jade girl who kicked the man in the city, and the man's body smashed through the gate and fell to the ground.

These are all signs of human activity!

But when they came into the inn, they never saw anyone moving!

Except for the coughing old man!

Song Zhong and the three of them were surprised, and immediately had an even more ridiculous idea in their hearts!

They hurried downstairs, the stairs still making a strange creaking sound.

Downstairs, they used the light of the fire fold to look at the Eight Immortal Tables.

The table top of the Eight Immortals Table is also all dust!

Terrible!

Shi Cai obviously heard the sound of fighting in the inn, if there was a fight, why did these tables seem to have not been touched for many years?

The three of them turned their heads to look, only to see that the door of the inn that had been destroyed by the Golden Flower Jade Girl and Jade City was still the same black curtain.

The doubts in Song Zhong's heart are getting bigger and bigger, and the fears of Mo Xiaoxuan and the fat man are also infinitely magnified!

The two of them were the least courageous, so they could only get close to the bold Song Zhong to find a sense of security.

Fear is about to fill the hearts of three people!

Only Song Zhong remained calm.

The fat man's voice trembled a little: "Brother, saint, let's go out quickly, I can't stand it, it's terrible here!

In the dark, Mo Xiaoxuan nodded heavily: "I agree with the dead fat man's statement." ”

Song Zhong took a deep breath and said, "No, no, you don't really think there are ghosts, right? How can there be ghosts in this world? I want to go to the third floor again, maybe there will be surprises." ”

Song Zhong's gaze looked at the third floor, which was even darker.
