Qin Nuo listened to Shu Yue's words with an embarrassed expression. He thought to himself, this girl Shu Yue, she used to be quiet and polite, why is she so aggressive now?
Could it be the influence of the ghost in the body?
Perhaps frightened by Shu Yue's words, the old man stopped what he was doing, turned around to look at Qin Nuo, and then slowly said, "I can see that you are not here to worship out of piety."
"With a heart like this, you can't see it."
"If you just want to worship the statue, it's inside and you can go in, but the god isn't there and probably doesn't want to see you."
As the old man spoke, he swept all the fallen leaves into a pile, took out a match and lit it.
Gradually, white smoke spread, making the surroundings even more hazy.
Qin Nuo could only say: "Okay, sorry to bother you, thank you for your patience in answering."
The old man didn't respond. He fiddled with the burning leaves and couldn't help asking again, "I heard that the god can fulfill the wishes of every resident of Liekou Village. Uncle, you..."
"What I'm doing now is what I want, and I'm satisfied with it."
"My life has been full of ups and downs. Now that I am old, I just want to live each day in peace and stability without being disturbed by anyone." The old man answered calmly.
This wish is completely different from Yan Chen's...
Qin Nuo thought to himself and continued, "One last question. We are from the city. It's late at night and cold. Where can we find a place to stay?"
The old man stood up, thought for a moment, and said, "Go straight and turn left. There is a hotel with vacancies all year round. You can stay there."
"Okay, thank you, sir."
The three of them left the ancestral hall, and Rod couldn't help but ask, "Don't you want to go in and take a look?"
"I won't say anything more. There are statues but no gods in the ancestral hall. It's a waste of time to go in."
"The temperature is dropping and it's very cold. Let's find a place to live first." Qin Nuo said.
Shu Yue blinked and asked, "The residents here seem to be dead. I don't see any signs of life in them."
"Maybe the people we see are not people." Qin Nuo responded calmly. If the people we see are not residents, then where are they really?
If the residents of Liekou Village cannot be found, the mission will be difficult to complete.
Although time is limited, it is still sufficient for now. I will rest for a night and make plans the next day.
After all, this is not a horror game, but the real world, and you can't squander your physical capital as you would in a game.
After turning the corner, I saw a very simple hotel.
The store was in a very bad state, with cracked walls, covered with moss and weeds. The sign above read "Xinxin Hotel" in four red neon letters.
But it was actually the Anxin Hotel, but the wires of the light on the radical-shaped roof were broken and it didn't light up.
There was a pile of garbage on one side of the door. Some freshener was sprayed in the hall, but the smell mixed with the garbage made it even more unpleasant.
Qin Nuo fanned his nose and then said, "Hello, is anyone there?"
“Ahem…”
A few coughs were heard from inside, and an old man walked out, dragging a urea bag. No one knew what was inside, but it looked very heavy.
"Stay in a hotel?"
When the old man saw them, although his expression and tone were calm, Qin Nuo still noticed it and his eyes changed slightly.
"If we don't stay in the hotel, I'm afraid no one will come in here, right?" Qin Nuo forced a smile, looking at the garbage all over the floor, including disgusting finger gloves that had fallen there. He didn't know how many bacteria had bred there, it was extremely dirty.
"There are two suites on the second and fourth floors. They cost 80 yuan a night and 150 yuan a day. Water and electricity are free. You need to go downstairs to get hot water yourself. Cleaning starts at 9 a.m."
The old man took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and said calmly.
Qin Nuo was a little surprised: "With so few rooms, business is so good?"
"Many rooms are temporarily closed due to water and electricity outages. The one I recommend to you is a single room. Others are also available."
Before Qin Nuo could say anything, Rod spoke first: "Uncle, then we can have a double room and a single room, preferably one with a better environment, for a whole day."
As he said that, he handed over the money.
The old man took the money, but didn't return the twenty dollars he was supposed to have. He typed something on his old, yellowed computer. He didn't even ask for his ID or personal information, and simply handed over two house keys: "Alright, go up."
Rod took the key.
Qin Nuo looked at Rod's initiative and said nothing. Shu Yue, who was standing beside him, asked, "Will I have a room of my own?"
"Of course. If you're scared at night, you can knock on the door." Rod laughed dryly.
"I'm afraid... I'm afraid of being too bored." Shu Yue said lightly.
Rod chuckled twice, looking a little embarrassed, and said, "Go to bed early. After all, it's already past midnight."
Qin Nuo watched the old man smoking and lighting the banknotes, then looked at the urea bag. Thinking of the second copy of the Bloody Apartment, he asked, "Are there any precautions?"
The old man raised his eyebrows and looked up at Qin Nuo: "If you must have it, don't make the room dirty and don't throw the garbage in your hands around."
Qin Nuo thought that judging from the sanitary conditions he saw now, it would probably be difficult for him to make it dirtier.
As he was speaking, there was a noise from the corridor.
A man who was emaciated, with a yellow face and looked like he had been drained of blood walked down.
When he saw Qin Nuo and the others, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his listless face revealed excitement.
Rod looked at him with a strange expression and cautiously put his hand into his clothes.
