"That's good. Go find these things..."
Ling Tian talked a lot, but in reality, there were very few materials needed to treat this strange creature; the rest were medical fees he had collected.
After all, medicinal herbs will be needed to treat other strange phenomena in the future. Of course, there is another meaning to it, which is to cover up the prescription.
“Please wait in my room for a moment, sir. I’ll be right back. These things are very common, so they’re not hard to collect.”
The old man wrote down the names of the medicinal herbs and prepared to leave now to get the medicine.
"Okay, but I'm still working, so I'll try to be there and back as quickly as possible."
Ling Tian said.
"Don't worry, I'll talk to the manager later."
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
Ling Tian nodded in satisfaction.
The old man left the hotel and began collecting the medicinal herbs that Ling Tian needed.
Before leaving, he specifically found the ghost manager and told him not to touch the staff in his room, as they were his honored guests, otherwise he would destroy the hotel.
The ghost manager was somewhat surprised, but it still tried its best to meet the customer's requests.
As for the threatening words the latter uttered, it simply laughed them off.
If you wanted to tear down this hotel, not even ten thousand old men could do it, let alone one.
This is a five-star hotel; do you really think the strange things behind it are nothing to brag about?
"A human being treated as an honored guest by a monster... Interesting..."
The ghost manager muttered to himself.
......
About two hours have passed.
The old man returned to the hotel with a large pile of medicinal herbs.
"Sir, the medicinal herbs you requested have been found. Please take a look..."
"Leave it here. I'll develop some medicine for you. Just take it on time, and you'll be cured in less than a month."
Ling Tian took the medicinal herbs and went to another cubicle.
The old man wisely avoided the situation.
Half an hour later, Ling Tian took out a pile of medicine and handed it to the old man.
"Take it once a day, either orally or dissolved in water. There are thirty doses here, enough for one month."
"Thank you, sir. I will never forget your great kindness once I have fully recovered."
The old man was very loyal and righteous. Although he was a ruthless killer, he always kept his promises.
This is much better than some humans.
"Yes, I'll be staying at the hotel for the next seven days. You can contact me if you have any problems."
Ling Tian nodded.
Having a strange person on his side made him feel a little more at ease.
Ling Tian left room 303 soon; it was already time to leave work.
What he needs to do now is find something to eat, and then head to his staff dormitory.
After a long and winding journey, Ling Tian finally arrived at the cafeteria.
The other nine people had already arrived and started eating, while the ghost manager was lecturing them.
"From now on, you will have all three meals here. You are not allowed to enter the cafeteria after mealtimes."
Secondly, five of you ten should be assigned to the night shift, with five people taking turns on duty.
The ghost manager glanced at Ling Tian, who had arrived late.
The latter sat down nonchalantly and began to eat.
"I believe that after today, you have a clear understanding of the bizarre world. I hope that you will still be able to walk out of this hotel alive in seven days."
The ghost manager said something meaningful, and then left.
"call..."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and began to discuss.
Who's on duty tonight?
"I don't want to."
"I don't want to either."
None of them were willing.
The seven-day period means that you have to work seven night shifts, which means that the person on the first night shift will work four night shifts.
Every night shift adds another layer of uncertainty, and nobody wants to put themselves in danger.
“We need people. If the staff isn’t confirmed when the shifts start, everyone will probably be punished.”
One of them said.
The others remained silent.
Ling Tian listened silently, shoveling rice into his mouth.
"Let's draw lots, that way whoever gets the turn will just have to accept their bad luck."
One person suggested.
Others also approved of this approach.
The group found ten chopsticks, and tied five of them with thin thread.
"Come on, the person who caught the chopsticks with the thin thread tied to them will be on duty tonight."
One person holds ten chopsticks and signals to the others to draw them.
The results of the lottery were quickly announced.
"Nice!"
The five people looked at the chopsticks in their hands excitedly.
Ling Tian stared blankly at the thin chopsticks in his hand. Bad luck was bad luck; he could always find the old man if he encountered danger.
Night falls.
More and more strange things entered the eerie hotel one after another.
These strange creatures looked at Ling Tian and the others with shining eyes, but due to the rules, they could only watch helplessly.
After checking him in, he gave a sinister smile, probably planning to cause trouble and kill Ling Tian and the others.
"I knew this wasn't going to be a good job!"
The others were terrified, wondering if those strange creatures would make unreasonable demands on them.
"Beep beep~"
An indicator light on one person's chest lit up.
"It's all over! It's all over!"
The man looked flustered, not expecting the calamity to come so quickly.
"Beep beep~"
"Beep beep~"
...
Before anyone else could even show a gloating expression, everyone's indicator lights lit up.
"A guest needs service. Please come to the room as soon as possible. Guest room number is 444."
A mechanical voice came from Lingtian's walkie-talkie.
Whether it's a blessing or a curse, if it's a curse, there's no escaping it.
Ling Tian ignored everyone and immediately headed towards room 444.
The room number gave him a sense of danger; 4 was already considered unlucky, and this was three 4s in total.
The buff stacks up to full instantly.
Half a minute later.
Ling Tian arrived at room 444.
There was also a VIP plaque pasted on the door.
"It seems the strange power inside is quite formidable."
Ling Tian muttered something to himself and knocked on the door.
"Knock knock..."
"Excuse me, sir/madam, how can I help you?"
"Crunch~"
The door opened, and unlike last time, this time it was Weiwei himself who opened the door.
The first thing that catches the eye is a dignified, blood-red long dress, followed by a delicate and alluring face.
"Come in."
He spoke in a strange tone.
Ling Tian nodded and went inside.
The latter closed the door.
"Click~"
Ling Tian was stunned. Holy crap, why is the door locked from the inside?
"Um... what kind of help does the guest need?"
For the first time, Ling Tian felt a lot of pressure.
The eerie aura before him was far too strong, unlike anything he had encountered before. In fact, Ling Tian felt it was several levels stronger than the Ghost Manager.
"I heard that a stranger came to the hotel today. I want to find a stranger to test my new ability."
Lady Red smiled.
"Oh...so what kind of experiment do you want to conduct?"
Ling Tian had a bad feeling.
Lady Red did not answer, but instead raised her hand and summoned a crystal mirror.
For a moment, Ling Tian's mind went blank.
Two mirror images appeared in the room, one of Ling Tian and the other of Madam Hong.
Lady Red moved around, controlling the mirror image to lift Ling Tian's mirror image.
In an instant, Ling Tian also took to the air.
"I wonder if the original body will die if the mirror image is killed."
Lady Red murmured softly.
"Wait! Madam, please don't be in such a hurry, allow me to interject!"
Ling Tian quickly spoke up, otherwise the person would die.
