The waiter bowed slightly, made an elegant gesture of invitation, and said in a gentle voice, "Dear guest, please follow me."
Lin Lin and others followed the waiter and walked slowly inside.
The first thing that catches your eye is the unique Chinese-style decoration.
The vermilion pillars are majestic and solemn, as if telling an ancient story; the exquisitely carved doors and windows are delicate and exquisite, showing the superb skills of the craftsmen.
Antique palace lanterns hang from the ceiling, casting soft light and adding a mysterious atmosphere to the entire space.
The waiter walked with a steady and elegant pace, occasionally softly introducing the restaurant's specialties. "Our restaurant specializes in traditional Chinese cuisine. Every dish is meticulously prepared by our experienced chefs, striving to bring our guests the purest taste experience."
Lin Lin and others listened to the introduction and looked around curiously.
They walked along a quiet corridor, the floor of which was paved with quaint bluestone bricks, each brick seeming to bear the traces of time.
There is an indoor garden on the left side of the corridor, like a paradise hidden in the hustle and bustle.
The rockery is staggered and orderly, some are tall and straight, some are small and exquisite, and their shapes vary.
The clear water gurgles, making a pleasant sound, like a beautiful music played by nature.
In the water, several colorful fish are swimming happily, sometimes shuttling between the rockery, and sometimes floating on the surface, creating circles of ripples.
The hotel is full of lush flowers, plants and trees, which not only add a touch of vitality and tranquility to the hotel, but also create a beautiful scenery for the hotel.
On the right side of the wall are rows of two-way mirrors.
These mirrors are well made, with a smooth surface like a mirror, reflecting everything in the corridor.
Through these two-way mirrors in the corridor, you can see the situation in the hall, where all kinds of strange people are sitting at round tables.
Some are strange, in human form, wearing a black robe. Their faces cannot be seen clearly, but one can see the mystery in their eyes, as if they are messengers from another world.
Some of the strange ones were just skeletons left, sitting upright in front of a round table.
The pale skeleton emitted a faint cold light under the dim light of the hotel, and the empty eye sockets seemed to be staring into the void, yet seemed to be able to see through everything.
The chopsticks in his hand kept picking up the food on the table and putting it into his mouth. Lin Lin could see that the food he had eaten fell out from between his ribs.
The delicious food turned into a pool of black slime after falling out, slowly spreading on the ground.
Just by looking at it, you can feel that the mucus is emitting a pungent and foul smell.
It was as if this skeleton was just mechanically repeating the action of eating, but was unable to truly digest the food.
There seemed to be a hint of confusion in its empty eye sockets, as if it didn't understand why it was doing such a futile act.
The diners around turned a blind eye to the skeleton's strange behavior, as if they were already accustomed to such scenes.
Some are as weird as a lump of slime.
It covered the food on the table, and after the food on the table was eaten up, it returned to a soft ball.
The slightly trembling body seemed to be savoring the delicious taste just now.
Occasionally, a strange light flashed in the translucent body, as if it was digesting the energy it had just taken in.
It slowly slid off the table, leaving a sticky trail on the ground.
Then, as if it had its own consciousness, it slowly crawled in a certain direction.
The people around it seemed accustomed to its actions and showed no surprise or fear.
Not far away, another slime-like creature was repeating the same action.
They were like a group of hungry little monsters, searching for food in every corner of the restaurant.
Whenever they find uneaten food, they will pounce on it quickly, wrap the food in their bodies, and then digest it quietly.
Lin Lin and others saw this scene through the mirror and couldn't help but feel a chill.
They couldn't imagine how these strange creatures survived, nor did they know what their existence meant to the hotel.
But they were attracted by an inexplicable curiosity and wanted to learn more about the secrets of these strange slime-like creatures.
At this moment, the waiter leading the way seemed to notice their unusual mood.
She smiled and said, "Dear guests, there is no need to panic. These special beings will not cause you any harm."
"They are just part of the hotel's unique landscape. Every guest who comes here will be curious about them, but please rest assured that they have their own rules and boundaries and will not easily cross the line to disturb guests."
"Our hotel has always been committed to providing guests with the most unique dining experience, and these strange existences are one of the characteristics of our hotel."
After hearing what the waiter said, Lin Lin and the others felt a little relieved, but their curiosity still surged in their hearts.
They continued to follow the waiter, but from time to time they glanced at the strange creatures in the hall.
They saw a ghost-like being, its translucent body looming in the air, as if it would disappear at any time.
It quietly hovers above a round table, as if guarding something.
…
Looking back at the few people who had fallen behind, the waiter said softly, "Dear guests, please don't stay here too long. Our private room will be here soon."
Lin Lin and the others came to their senses and continued to follow the waiter forward.
As they moved forward, the lights in the corridor gradually dimmed and a mysterious atmosphere enveloped them.
Suddenly, they heard a slight sound, as if someone was whispering.
Lin Lin and others looked around nervously, but found nothing.
The waiter seemed to sense their uneasiness and said with a smile, "Don't worry, guests. This is just a reminder that we will soon arrive at your private room."
As soon as the voice fell, the waiter added: "This restaurant is a bit old, and there are occasionally some strange noises. It is normal. Don't pay too much attention to it."
Everyone relaxed a little, but the vigilance they had just raised in their hearts was not completely eliminated.
They continued to move forward in the dim corridor, their steps unconsciously becoming lighter, as if they were afraid of disturbing some unknown being.
The slight sound seemed to still echo in their ears, like a faint thread, tugging at their nerves.
As I walked, a faint halo appeared in front of me, as if the entrance to the box was emitting a mysterious light.
The waiter quickened his pace and led Lin Lin and others towards the halo.
As they approached, the halo gradually brightened, enveloping them.
A warm and peaceful feeling came over me, forming a sharp contrast with the mysterious atmosphere in the corridor just now.
