After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Yan Ruyu looked at the staff around her, then approached Su Luo, puzzled, and asked in a low voice, "What are you planning to do now?"
To everyone's surprise, Su Luo acted as if nothing had happened, seemingly unconcerned that this was a bizarre instance. It was more like going home, and she stretched and simply replied, "Going back to my room to sleep."
"It's almost dawn!" As he spoke, Su Luo pointed to the crescent moon overhead, which was gradually growing larger and becoming rounder.
"But……"
Yan Ruyu didn't want to go back to her room 301 alone. Without the hot tea, her mind was much clearer. "Where's Xia Ming?"
"Who knows?" Su Luo shrugged. Saving Yan Ruyu was already her limit; why should she care about Xia Ming's life or death?
It would be best to die here; one less madman in the apocalypse would make things much more peaceful.
"Can... I come with you?"
Noticing that Su Luo was about to leave, Yan Ruyu hurriedly stood up and looked at her anxiously.
“Of course.” Su Luo glanced at Yan Ruyu, thought for a moment and nodded. She wasn’t a serial killer, and she had a fairly good impression of Yan Ruyu. Going back to the room together wasn’t out of the question.
Just make sure she doesn't scare herself for a moment.
So, the two of them, having successfully spent a full hour at the hot spring, returned to their room wearing yukatas.
The room was decorated the same as Yan Ruyu's, except that all the hot tea in it had been drunk.
Recalling the scene in the hot spring pool just now, it's clear that this hot tea wasn't drunk by Su Luo herself.
After a night of anxiety and worry, Yan Ruyu returned to her room and, overcome by sleepiness, collapsed onto the sofa and quickly fell asleep.
Meanwhile, Su Luo, who seemed sleepy, opened her eyes the moment Yan Ruyu closed them. She sat up, went to the window, pulled back the rose-colored velvet curtains, leaned against the window frame, and stretched her head to look at the wall outside the window.
I slept well all night.
Since entering the eerie instance, Yan Ruyu had never slept so well. When she opened her eyes, she found the room empty. Su Luo was not in the room!
The curtains were open in the room, revealing a full moon high in the sky; it was already daytime. The hotel's guidebook advised against wandering around during the day, so where could Su Luo have gone?
Just then, a soft tapping sound caught Yan Ruyu's attention.
It wasn't coming from outside the door; judging from the direction of the sound, it seems to be...
Looking up at the window, Yan Ruyu slowly approached it. Sure enough, the sound became more and more obvious, like something gently hitting the wall.
What could possibly hit a wall? The area outside this hot spring hotel is covered with strangely shaped piles of roses. Could it be that these roses are hitting the wall?
Just as Yan Ruyu was less than an arm's length away from the window, the rose petals on the window suddenly trembled, and then a white, blood-stained hand suddenly grabbed the window frame and appeared in front of Yan Ruyu!
Holy crap, a monster!
Seeing this, Yan Ruyu drew her dagger to stab the hand, but it was blocked by a rusty iron box just before she could touch it.
"Don't be impulsive, it's me!"
As the sound faded, a figure leaped into the guest room; it was Su Luo.
"Su Luo?!"
Seeing the bloodstains on Su Luo's body, Yan Ruyu frowned seriously. "Something happened?"
Su Luo ripped a towel off the hotel room, changed her coat, and casually placed the lucky charm on the table. "I'm fine, it's not my blood."
Seeing Su Luo's actions, as if she had thought of something, Yan Ruyu quickly walked a few steps to the window, took a deep breath, and looked outside...
You wouldn't believe it until you look, and what you see is shocking: the drooping roses form bizarre human models, skeletons, their heads turned to the side, staring blankly at Yan Ruyu who just peeked out.
My scalp is tingling!
Being stared at by so many withered bodies all of a sudden, even Yan Ruyu was slightly shocked, but her shock was mixed with fear.
Among those withered bodies, there were a few slightly fresher torsos, not completely dried out, where the faces were still discernible...
They were her subordinates!
It was one of her henchmen from the gas station!
One, two... Everyone, including her, the entire team of twelve is here!
Lost in thought, Yan Ruyu took two steps back and collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.
how so?
"Is there any other way?" This question seemed to be asked of himself, and also of Su Luo.
"It's already like this, there's no saving it." Su Luo shook her head. If Yan Ruyu hadn't been so capable, she would probably be in the same situation as these people by the time she arrived.
"Let's go, let's get out of here."
Having found the lucky charm, there's no need to stay here any longer. Besides, we've already got the hotel, so why wait to take it back?
That said, this hotel is really nice. Her little village really needs a decent hotel, especially a hot spring hotel. She can soak in the hot springs from time to time. It couldn't be more pleasant in the apocalypse!
One hour ago.
Seeing that Yan Ruyu had fallen asleep, Su Luo got up, changed her clothes, and left the guest room.
"Guest, this is the hotel's specialty, rose hot tea. Please enjoy." The receptionist diligently promoted the hotel's hot tea, holding the teacup to Su Luo's lips with both hands, but Su Luo stopped him, casually slipping a folded heart-shaped piece of ghost money into the receptionist's chest pocket and patting it.
"I know it's your specialty, so please drink it for me!"
"Oh, by the way, tell your hotel owner that I'm going up to find her."
"Boss?" The receptionist finished his hot tea in one gulp, paused for a moment, then refilled his cup and stood respectfully by the door, waiting for the next customer.
Unlike Yan Ruyu, Su Luo had money to pave the way and quickly found out what made this hotel special.
Although the employees here only say a few words back and forth, when put together, you can tell that something is wrong.
First, no employee has ever seen the boss. Second, everywhere you look, there are roses, or rather, rose tea.
Even the hotel's exterior walls were covered with strangely shaped roses, but the roof of the hot spring hotel was clean and free of any roses.
I heard from the cleaning staff at the hot spring hotel that she cleans the roof every other day.
Isn't that strange? There's nothing on the roof, so why do we have to clean it every few days? Clean what? Cleaning something weird!
Indeed, it's a strange place to clean up.
When Su Luo climbed up the roof along the roses outside the house, what came into view was a throne of bones woven from withered roses, surrounded by piles of rotting skeletons. There was no fragrance of tea or flowers, only a disgusting stench that permeated the entire roof.
On the throne, a woman in a rose-colored wedding dress stared at Su Luo, this uninvited guest, with her dark, hollow eyes.
