Linna and Ye Wan'er parked the car and went to the front desk of the budget hotel.
"Hello, I'd like a room." Lin Nai placed an ID card on the front desk.
This ID card, of course, was also obtained from the driver.
The receptionist glanced at Wan Ye'er next to Lin Nai: "Uh...would you like to book a room? One double bed or two beds?"
Linna: "Is that even a question? Of course, it's a double bed."
Night Child: "..."
The young man's face showed a slight look of surprise.
Because night has fallen, and he now appears as a young man...
Moreover, after hearing what Lin Nai said, Ye'er showed that shy, blushing expression again.
The young man couldn't help but overthink things. He thought this bearded man looked quite rugged, but he never expected him to be like this...
Tsk tsk tsk...
The young man rapidly typed on the keyboard of the computer in front of him, searching for something.
Lin Nai glanced at his computer and found that it wasn't connected to the internet; it was just in standalone mode, used to record guest room information.
Linna thought to himself, 'As expected, there's no internet in the city either...'
At this point, the waiter said, "We don't have any single rooms with double beds available right now, but would a couples' suite be okay?"
Linna nodded: "Oh, that would be perfect."
Night: "!!"
The delivery guy stole a meaningful look and smile from Lin Nai, then took out a room key from under the counter: "Room 404, remember to give me a good review before you leave."
“No problem.” Lin Nai put away the room key and led Wan Ye’er upstairs.
We arrived at the room.
As she entered the room at night, the sight of it made her feel dizzy for a moment, almost to the point of fainting.
The pink heart-shaped bed was covered in rose petals, and the entire wall next to it was covered with various small toys that Yu Yuanyuan had seen in the educational movies she had given her at night...
"Ahhh!!!" Ye Wan'er quickly covered her face, which was already as red as a ripe apple.
"What's wrong?" Lin Nai strolled in, glanced around the room, and said, "Oh, this is my first time here. I've learned something new."
Night Child: "..."
Linnai plopped down on the pink heart-shaped bed to rest, then looked around and saw a landline phone on the table in the room.
However, upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the object was not connected to a telephone line. Inside was a communication spirit stone, which could transmit audio and video information over a distance, making it virtually indistinguishable from making a video call.
However, these communication stones are very expensive, far less convenient than normal technological communication devices, and have a very short communication range, unlike the internet which can reach all parts of the world.
Lin Nai waved the phone around and said leisurely, "It seems that, just like in the city, there is still no conventional network equipment here."
Linnaeus just drove around the city and is now completely certain.
There is absolutely no wireless network or any network-related equipment in this city!
However, this does not mean that the current Shanhai City has fully returned to the "ancient" mode.
For example, the large screen in the city's commercial plaza uses a "magic mirror" instead of a traditional television screen.
The announcements on the trams also used pre-stored audio from "phonograph crystals".
The entire city seems to have completely replaced its previous electronic technology with various treasures containing extraordinary powers.
Such a change may sound novel, but in reality, it is not progress, but rather a regression.
Even if these functional treasures are incredibly amazing, they are still natural objects, very expensive, and have significant limitations.
The high price means that it is not something that the general public can afford.
Unlike wireless networks, which can spread signals all over the world in the lowest cost way.
Linnaeus said, "If nothing unexpected happens, the entire human world should have become like this by now. All networks should have been removed."
Night came over, pursed her lips, and asked with some confusion, "Why would they do that?"
“I don’t know, but there must be a reason.” Lin Nai looked at the sky outside: “It’s getting dark. I think many mysteries can be solved after it gets dark.”
Looking out the window at the night sky, a worried expression crossed her face: "I have a feeling of unease..."
“Uneasy? I have a solution,” Linna said.
Night paused for a moment: "Huh?"
Linnaeus: "When we humans feel uneasy, we hug each other with the people we like, and then we won't feel uneasy."
"..." Night's cheeks flushed slightly. She raised her little hand and gently pinched Lin Nai's cheek, whispering, "What are you thinking about at a time like this?"
"Knock knock knock"
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
Lin Nai and Ye Wan'er both fell silent in unison. Lin Nai used her mental vision to look outside and found that the person outside the door was the same receptionist from before.
Lin Nai went to open the door. The young man stood in the doorway, a professional smile on his face. Lin Nai smiled slightly: "Is there something you need?"
"Oh, is that so?" The young man took out a small box: "Just as you went upstairs, an officer from the dimensional army came in and asked me to give this to you."
Lin Nai thought to himself, "The commander of the dimensional army?"
"...Are you sure it's us?"
"It's you guys, that's right."
"......"
Lin Nai paused for a moment, then calmly took the box and smiled naturally: "Thank you."
"You're welcome." The delivery guy added, "Oh, by the way, would you like some food?"
"No need, thank you."
"Okay, okay." The delivery guy said, "There's instant noodles, bread, and other snacks under the cabinet in the room. Just take them if you want, but you'll need to pay extra for the food when you leave."
Linna: "Okay, I understand."
The young man left.
Lin Nai closed the door, picked up the box and shook it. The box was very light, and it felt empty inside, with nothing in it.
Night Child: "Who could have given it to me?"
"I think it can only be Meng Feifei."
As Linna spoke, she opened the box.
Inside the box, there was only a letter and two pills.
Linnaeus opened the letter, which contained three lines:
Don't touch any of the food in this city!
Don't leave your room at night!
The pill can prevent demonic energy from eroding consciousness.
—Meng.
The handwriting on the letter was very messy, and it was obvious that it was written in a hurry.
"......Oh."
Lin Nai smiled inwardly. After reading it, he used his soul power fire to burn the paper to ashes.
"It seems this guy has gotten smarter over the past three years."
