Chapter 25: Wilderness Hotel 25
There are many types of weirdness in the copy, some are purely scary, some trigger the plot, some mislead you into breaking the rules, and some are not human at all and make you think you are living in the copy.
The four people on the third floor, the family of three on the second floor, and the man in room 206 are all strange creatures living in the copy with human thinking.
Although they may show strange characteristics when angry, they do not consider themselves strange in their world.
But people.
People will show warmth.
When Su Qingyun handed the grilled food to the four people, they finally felt like talking.
They asked Su Qingyun why she came here alone.
"Tourism? There's nothing much to see here."
"I'm here to look for my father." Su Qingyun gave his father a title. "He's a geologist. A year ago, he received a mission from his superiors to conduct geological exploration here. But a year has passed and he hasn't returned. His unit said he might have been buried in the yellow sand. I didn't believe it, so I came here alone to look for him."
"Come here alone?" The woman was the first to be moved. She took Su Qingyun's hand and praised her as a filial and good girl.
The big guy objected and asked Su Qingyun, "Didn't you say your family runs a barbecue restaurant?"
"My mother runs the shop. After she was laid off, she set up a barbecue stall in our city to make a living."
"I see." The big guy threw a piece of wood into the fire.
Su Qingyun took the opportunity to inquire about their background. She asked, "Why are you here? I see you're carrying a lot of bags, and you look a bit like my dad when he goes out to work. Are you also doing geological exploration?"
"us……"
"It's from the Cultural Bureau." The oldest man took over the conversation.
"Cultural Bureau?" Su Qingyun's eyes widened immediately. "It's a good organization, but shouldn't the Cultural Bureau be doing cultural propaganda work in the city? Why would they come to such a desolate place?"
"We're doing folklore research."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Su Qingyun pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "It shouldn't be easy to get into a unit like the Cultural Bureau, right?"
The four people smiled and did not answer.
Seeing that they smiled but did not answer, Su Qingyun asked again, "How did you get in?"
"I was assigned there," the woman replied.
"So which university did you graduate from?"
"...This skewer of barbecue is ready, little girl, don't just talk, eat something too." The older man stuffed a skewer of barbecue into Su Qingyun's hand.
Su Qingyun knew she couldn't ask any more questions.
She handed the meat to Yoruichi, and then she dug out the roasted potatoes from the fire and started eating.
[The weirdness in the copy will automatically block the Contract God and will not care about any of the Contract God's actions]
At this time, the handsome man who had been silent suddenly stood up and said he wanted to go back to his room.
"What are you going back for?" the older man asked in a low voice.
"Linzhi's things are still in the room." he replied.
As soon as the handsome man finished speaking, the older man stood up and pushed him away. Su Qingyun naturally couldn't hear what he said next.
She also pretended not to care and ate the potatoes seriously.
But her heart started beating wildly when she heard the man say Linzhi.
These four people knew Ruan Linzhi, a young female worker at the Qing Mudan Products Factory.
What the handsome man just said should be Ruan Linzhi's rattan suitcase.
So Ruan Linzhi came here with this group of people, but why didn't they call the police after so many days of Ruan Linzhi's death and the newspapers reported it?
Is there a reason why we can't call the police?
Could it be that Lin Fangfang was killed by this group of people?
Su Qingyun had countless questions in her mind, but she couldn't get the answers at this moment.
Because Ye Jian came over. He got a bottle of wine from somewhere and walked up to the four people and asked, "Are you from Yingcheng?"
The big guy asked back, "Are you from Yingcheng?"
"It counts as half. My mother is from Yingcheng." Ye Jian opened the wine and asked the big guy if he wanted a glass.
"This wine?" Everyone looked at the wine in Ye Jian's hand suspiciously.
"I brought it here. I'm a wine merchant. I heard people here love to drink, so I brought some wine here to sell. I didn't expect it to be so desolate. Yesterday I wanted to sell a few bottles to the hotel owner, but she said there aren't many people here in a year, and no one drinks at all."
Ye Jian looked helpless and said that there was no reason to take the wine back once it was brought out. It was rare that everyone was gathered together for barbecue today, so they might as well drink the wine.
After saying that, he poured himself a glass and took a sip.
When the four saw Ye Jian drink it, they put aside their suspicions and poured themselves a cup.
The big guy took a sip, smacked his lips in satisfaction, and exclaimed, "Good wine."
Ye Jian wanted to give Su Qingyun a drink, but Su Qingyun refused, "Sorry, I never drink."
She stood up and left the fire.
When no one was around, she asked Ye Yi, "Can I bring alcohol into the dungeon?"
Ye Yi replied, "I heard from others that there is a supernatural device called the Weird Supermarket. After bringing it into the dungeon, you can randomly take what you want."
Su Qingyun, "..." The boss's strength was far beyond her imagination.
He owns a supermarket, no wonder he doesn't like to eat the potatoes she cooks.
However, with Ye Jian dragging these four people, Su Qingyun decided to go back to the hotel.
She entered the kitchen through the small side door again. The old woman and the cook were cleaning the stove. The fire was quite big and the stove was deformed.
Su Qingyun greeted the two of them and asked if she could go back to the room to get some clothes.
"It's a bit cold outside."
"Get some clothes." The old woman stared at Su Qingyun suspiciously, and finally agreed. However, she asked Su Qingyun not to stay in the room for too long. "Afang's dog escaped from the cage and now we don't know where it went. We arranged the hotel guests in the open space to prevent accidents."
A dog in a cage?
Su Qingyun looked at the iron cage in the kitchen and thought it was used to hold dogs. What kind of dog needed such a big cage?
"I'll be careful." Su Qingyun assured the old woman.
She went up to the third floor instead of the second.
There were no windows on the third floor, and the only light source came from the stairwell leading to the third floor from the second floor. The lights in the corridor were also off. Su Qingyun stood at the entrance, and the further he looked inside, the darker it became.
Su Qingyun took a quick look and found that the layout of the third floor was exactly the same as that of the second floor, except that there were guest rooms on the left. There was no sign on the door on the right, only four words: No Admission for Unauthorized Persons.
[Rule number two at the Wilderness Inn: Never enter a room without a number.]
Su Qingyun pushed open the door of Room 301.
Room 301 is very tidy. Judging from the items in the room, it should be the room where the only girl among the four people lives.
Su Qingyun quickly retreated and went to Room 302.
Room 302 was a double room, with clothes and wine bottles scattered all over the floor. Su Qingyun guessed that this room should be occupied by the handsome man and the big guy.
She began to search the room.
Room 302 was larger than the other rooms. In addition to the bedroom, it also had a living room, which took Su Qingyun some time to search through.
Finally she found the wicker box described in the missing person notice on top of the wardrobe.
But the box was locked with a sophisticated combination lock.
Su Qingyun took off her messenger bag and tried to find a tool to pry it open.
At this time, Ye Yi reminded, "Master, someone is coming up."
Su Qingyun quickly put on her bag and swiftly put the wicker box back in its place.
Sure enough, footsteps were heard in the corridor.
Su Qingyun's eyes were fixed on the door handle, and with a "bang" the door was opened.
