Chapter 100
A ball of meat paste was crawling slowly on the ground. When it reached a crack in the ground, it stopped to rest for a while, as if taking a breath and drinking some water before continuing to move forward.
After walking for a while, and then walking for a while again, stopping and starting, Bolognese arrived at the park.
The park discovered the meat paste, and then another meat paste appeared next to the meat paste, so there were two meat pastes here. These two meat pastes instantly turned into a huge humanoid creature, covered with whiskers, tentacles, eyes, and bumps. There were even two candies stuck in it. Maybe they were pink chewing gum, some smelly socks, dirty sewer pollutants...
I have to say, those things are really disgusting.
And it's ugly and smelly. The ugliness is not in the appearance but in the feeling, just like some people find it smelly when they see it.
Some people are quite the opposite.
People are different from each other, and this kind of thing is no exception.
They formed into two balls and flew towards the paradise.
They looked like they were going to attack, but the box in Rakuen's hand caught their attention.
Their primary goal then becomes to fight for the box.
The box was tossed back and forth in their hands, switching positions. No one was able to grab the box, and neither was going to give up. They began to move their positions. It was too unsafe here. It was like they were juggling while being watched. It was easy to get into a dangerous situation.
They ran away.
Paradise blinked, squeezed the air in his hands, and smiled at the waiter, "Oh, your guests here are really enthusiastic."
The waiter smiled and said, "Those two guests just now came to see you, but they only took the box away. I didn't lie to you, did I? That box is really useful!"
Leyuan nodded and said, "Yes, it is very useful."
He paused but then changed the subject: "But now I don't have the box, so what good is it?"
The waiter was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect him to say that, because he had previously felt that Paradise was not the kind of person who liked to cause trouble.
The waiter thought the park was easy to deal with.
Paradise walked and said: "If I had not entered this hotel, I would not have seen your guests. If I had not seen your guests, I would not have had a conflict with them. If I had not had a conflict with them, they would not have turned into meat sauce. If they had not turned into meat sauce, I would not have walked on the road and got your box, let alone had them steal your box.
How to say it?
If I didn't have a box in the first place, I wouldn't have thought it was a problem. But you gave me a box and then someone took it away right in front of me. How can I be calm? I'm not a particularly good-tempered person."
The waiter smiled and said, "Aren't you very calm? You don't look like someone who cares about that thing. At first I wanted to give it to you, but you refused."
Leyuan said: "That was at the beginning. Didn't I change my mind later? Besides, you have already given the things to me, so they are mine. As a hotel employee, you should help me protect my things!
Although waiters theoretically have no obligation to protect guests, I didn't ask you to protect me, but to protect the box. As a waiter, protecting guests' belongings is a normal job, right?
I have never wronged you or made things difficult for you."
As Leyuan was talking, his voice became softer and he started mumbling, as if he was thinking about other things.
The waiter glanced at the sign not far away, nodded to Paradise and said, "In theory, yes, waiters should help guests protect their belongings, but the premise is that the item is owned by the guest from the beginning. If the guest did not wear it before entering the hotel, it does not count. The waiter is not required to protect such items. This is also stated in the hotel's rules for waiters.
Would you like to take a look?"
He smiled, as if to prove that he was not lying.
The park had no interest in whether he lied or not. Besides, he didn't look like he could talk, nor was he a human being. As a creature, in the park's opinion, the waiter was one of those people who had been deprived of the right to lie.
Organisms? Tools?
Or something.
It doesn't matter. As long as you don't tell anyone, nothing will happen.
Paradise shook his head and said to the waiter, "No, it's boring."
He paused, turned his head and found that he seemed to have walked into an unfamiliar place. He realized that he seemed to be lost. Fortunately, there was a waiter with him.
Number One came over and whispered, "I remember where it is. It's not far behind us."
Leyuan nodded and said, "Then let's go back."
The waiter escorted them to the door and asked, "Would you two like to stay in here for a while?"
Number One asked, "Why? No? We can stay in there as long as we want! Anyway, you said it's free, and we're first-time customers. Are you going to go back on your word or break your promise? It's almost the same thing. Have you made up your mind? We're not going to leave now."
The waiter smiled and said, "That's not the case. Guests can enjoy the hot spring here to their heart's content. If you don't mind, you can stay here as long as you want. I won't stop you."
Number One snorted, turned his head and said, "Who knows what you are thinking? I can't read your mind. But it doesn't matter. Since you don't say it, I will just pretend that you don't have it. Since you are honest and sensible, I won't bother with you about those irrelevant things. Do you have anything else to give? If not, don't talk."
The waiter listened, and after some hesitation or consideration, he smiled and said to the two of them, "Actually, I do have something here that I can give you two, but I can't just give it to you like that, because the hotel's rules don't allow you to give guests things so casually."
Number One nodded and asked, "What is that?"
The attendant said, "It's a one-time temporary elevator trial card to the third floor."
Number One snorted and said indifferently, "That's all! What do I need the elevator card for? Besides, it's a one-time card. Once used, it's gone. How can I get down? And it's temporary. If I want a temporary card, doesn't it mean that if I delay for a little while, I won't have the chance to go up or down? What's the point? I don't have to go up. What's the point of going up?"
Is it that the door above is prettier than the one below, or is it that the gold and silver above are more numerous, heavier, more expensive and more beautiful than those below?
Even if that's the case, I'm not interested. I just want to go take a hot spring bath. You know what hot spring bathing means, right? I want to take a hot spring bath!"
The waiter nodded: "I know, since the guests must go to the hot springs, let's go."
I don't know if he did it on purpose, but he emphasized the three words "take a hot spring bath" very heavily, as if he was deliberately stressing them to indicate that he already knew the words and you don't need to repeat them.
Number One's face silently burned, as if someone was burning rice on the ground and a fire spread to the sky.
The bright red color was so hot that it looked as if he had just walked out of a steamer. His neck was almost getting thick. Fortunately, he didn't say anything, otherwise he would look like an angry gorilla who was angry at the tourists outside the zoo because he didn't get a banana.
Number One stood quietly by, gradually retreated, stood in the shadows, turned in a direction, and hid next to the amusement park.
He was not standing behind Le Yuan. Le Yuan frowned, which was considered as tacit consent.
The waiter looked towards the park and said, "The things on the third floor are different from those on the second floor. Don't you really want to take a look? Maybe you will find it more interesting than here."
He suddenly looked like a street vendor selling goods.
Leyuan looked at him suspiciously, thinking he was weird.
The waiter paused and smiled, "It's understandable that the guest doesn't believe me. After all, we just met today. There is one thing that the guest didn't ask before, and it seems that the guest doesn't know it either. I might as well tell the guest here so that the guest can feel more at ease."
Paradise was a little interested and asked, "What's the matter?"
He thought, what could I not know? Even though I didn't know everything, it was not possible for me to ask questions for half a day and still not know something important! That would be too dangerous.
And it seems that No. 1 and the others don't think there is a problem. Do they all know about it, or do they not know it? Or maybe they think it is so common that it does not need special explanation and the people who come for the first time just don't know it?
The waiter did not keep the secret and told Paradise Flat directly: "The thing is, in order to let guests enjoy the best quality service, our hotel tried to arrange some things inside the hotel when it was designed and built. When these things are inside the hotel, the hotel opens its doors to welcome guests, and when guests come in, they will feel happy."
Number One curled his lips and thought, that's all.
The waiter said, "To put it simply, the speed of time flowing inside and outside the hotel is different. An hour outside may be a whole day inside, so guests can have fun here. There is no need to worry that your friends outside will leave because they can't wait for someone. That won't happen. Even if guests spend a year here, it doesn't matter."
Number One didn't believe it, and snorted, "That may not be the case."
The waiter nodded and actually agreed, saying, "Indeed, in order to save resources, the hotel has set different time flow rates on different floors. That is to say, if one hour passes on the first floor, fifty-nine minutes will pass outside. If one hour passes on the second floor, half an hour will pass outside. If one hour passes on the third floor, fifteen minutes will pass outside.
Of course, I say these just as examples and I am not seriously explaining to guests the differences in the speed of time flow within the hotel.
Because if we make this kind of thing too clear, there is no guarantee that other guests will not be interested in stealing or robbing it. If an accident happens, it will be terrible. For the hotel, bad things should be avoided if possible, so what I have said to this point is the maximum tolerance.
If the guests still don’t understand, then I can only give up the elevator card and look for other guests. If other guests are willing to help, maybe these two cards can be given away. ”
Number One asked: "Is it possible for every guest to receive a gift from the hotel?"
The waiter nodded and said, "Yes."
He smiled and said, "Of course. If we don't treat everyone equally, the guests may not want to come next time, and our hotel will lose a lot. Whether it's guests, connections, resources, money or something else. In short, as a hotel that opens its doors to welcome guests, we absolutely cannot and will not allow ourselves to lose profits casually."
Question 1: “Is it not allowed to accidentally lose profits?”
The waiter was a little confused and asked, "What do you mean?"
Number One laughed and said, "Oh, so you didn't know this!"
He clapped his hands and said with a smile: "This is very simple. The hotel wants to negotiate business with a noodle shop. The noodle shop disagrees at first, but later agrees because the hotel is willing to give some benefits to the noodle shop. This is a concession of benefits. To a certain extent, how can it not be considered a loss of benefits?"
The waiter said: "Oh, if this is the case, it is allowed, because this situation is not considered a loss, but an equivalent exchange in a certain sense. I think that equivalent exchange and loss are two different things. It's like a car overturned on the road, and a lot of things were lost and picked up by someone, that's considered a loss.
Negotiating business with others, sitting at the same table, eating and drinking, and spending profits are another matter.”
Number One nodded, half wanting to agree with it, half wanting to refute it, but after thinking it over, he felt that he had nothing to say, so he stepped back.
He continued to stand beside the amusement park, staring blankly in boredom or watching the little spider on the wall flying around hanging on a thin white thread.
There seem to be no mosquitoes or flies here, Number One thought.
The waiter looked towards the park: "Do you have any other questions?"
Paradise hesitated and asked, "If I want the elevator card you mentioned, what should I do?"
The waiter smiled and said, "This is very simple! Guests just need to participate in a small game in our hotel."
Paradise asked: "What kind of game is it?"
The waiter smiled more sincerely and enthusiastically: "Oh, guests don't need to worry about this. Just survive. It's very simple. Isn't everyone surviving? This is simply the simplest thing in the world! There is nothing simpler in the world, right?"
Number One hid in the back and quietly complained, "That's not necessarily true. I think there is nothing in the world more difficult than this. Otherwise, why would there always be people who like to say things like, 'I was born to suffer, I live to suffer, I simply don't want to live anymore, it's too scary, who's going to kill me?'
Don't people always say things like this? When they say these things, they must be sincere. It doesn't matter whether they regret it or not, because they are just talking and have done nothing. But if they really did something, it would only prove that this world is terrible and no one wants to live because it is too difficult.
For ordinary people, it is so difficult to survive. Being in such a strange place and living in the same room with strange people is a great psychological challenge. Now I have to play unknown games with unknown people. How can this be considered a good thing? I really don't understand.
What are you thinking? No, what are you talking about?
That's not right. You know clearly what you are saying and what you want. You are just doing what you think is normal and right. From this perspective, you are too normal. You can't be more normal. It's because you are too normal that you seem a little too scary.
However, this is also normal, because it is impossible for a person to be completely free of problems and to be so smooth that he can do nothing wrong. Most people cannot clearly know what they are thinking and what they want to do. However, if you are not a human, you will not have such difficulties and problems. A very normal person.
What a normal question! "
Number One's expression became inexplicably complicated.
Paradise blinked, and the waiter comforted her, "Don't worry, you can always come to me after you come out of the hot spring. If you want to go, I will take you there. You can also change your mind at any time. It will be okay. There is no danger at all, because every guest who participated survived. They all want to see new guests. Guests, guests, please don't let them down!"
These words sounded strange, with an excited tone, a weird manner, an inexplicable giggle at the end, and something a little abnormal.
Theoretically, the waiter's words to the park should be the hotel's attitude to the guests. However, the waiter's words just now were clearly from the perspective of the guests who participated in the game. However, the waiter and the guest are completely two different identities. Were the waiters guests before? Or did the guests become part-time leisurely waiters after winning the game to fool others?
That's hard to say.
Leyuan nodded and said, "Okay."
The waiter said, "It's settled. You can come out and find me anytime. I'm always here and will appear in front of you at any time. Just call me whenever you need me."
Number One muttered, "What summons? It sounds like some kind of god's body, a devil's doll, a magician's puppet, or a very strange and powerful huge animal in the forest. Are you an animal? Speak a little more normally! Oh, you are already normal, so can you be more sincere? Ahhh——"
He did not dare to scream loudly for fear of disturbing others, so he covered his mouth and hid quietly in the corner, in the shadows, squinting his eyes, almost closing them, and fell asleep. The sound was in his throat and at most made a circle before going back.
There is no problem.
The waiter nodded to Paradise, then looked at Number One, said hello, and left.
Number One watched the waiter's back gradually fade away and said to Paradise, "That's not a good thing."
Leyuan looked at him strangely and asked, "Do you really think so?"
Number One thought about it and felt that there was no problem. However, since Leyuan asked this question, it meant that he was not like this before, and perhaps there was a problem that he was not aware of.
Maybe that's the case. If so, then you still need to check it out. If not, that would be the best.
Paradise said to No. 1, "Let's go in and continue soaking in the hot springs!"
Number One nodded happily and said, "Okay, okay."
There is nothing better than soaking in a hot spring after dinner.
They walked in. The surface of the hot spring was white, with hazy mist in the middle. The ceiling at the top was full of water droplets, and it was lit with faint and mysterious lights of various colors, which sometimes turned into seven colors, making the place look like a fairyland. It was also a bit like a fairy cave with white clouds surrounding a rainbow in the sky.
"When do you think they will die?"
“It’s hard to say.”
"So when will we die?"
"When it's useless."
"Let's go out and get something to eat! I want some fruit."
"I want barbecue. There's barbecue outside, right? It's delicious."
Inside the hot spring, there was the occasional whisper, followed by a group of people waving seven or eight arms as they climbed out of the water, put on clothes that didn't seem to fit them, turned into a small person, and strode out.
"When do you think those people will die?"
"I have no idea."
"How about this, let's make a bet. I'll bet you a string of squids, and if you lose you'll give me a giant octopus."
Someone was talking over there.
Number One frowned and couldn't help but move closer to the park.
The hot spring here is not shallow and is almost deep enough for swimming. No. 1 is not a very good swimmer and was a little scared and worried at first. But after getting in, he felt that it was no problem because the pool here would always grow green weeds to wrap around his ankles and help him stand firm when he was afraid of falling. He even screamed when he touched the green weeds for the first time.
However, the water plants had no ill intentions. When they heard his screams, they shrank back in fear, just like the pitiful and lovely underwater shy plants.
When No. 1 found himself unsteady again, the water plants still grew out and helped No. 1. After No. 1 got the help and stood steadily, he realized that it seemed to be here to help, so he happily made friends with the water plants. The water plants actually responded to him underwater, slightly shaking their bodies and leaf tips, indicating that they heard him, understood, liked it, and were very happy.
Number One was just like a child who had just found a toy. He was extremely excited and looked for someone to tell about this incident. However, he didn't dare to find other guests. If he went to find Jongin, he felt like he was asking for trouble. So he went to the amusement park, which was inside the hot spring pool. He was forced to listen to Number One talking about this incident for a long time, but he had no interest in it at all.
It's hard to refute, what can I say?
Don't say anymore, Leyuan looked at No. 1 and felt that this remark would dampen the other party's enthusiasm. Then he thought, why not just forget it? But he felt that this remark was too cold and might stimulate No. 1 to remain silent. If No. 1 didn't speak, the journey would be less fun. It was hard to say this.
After thinking it over, I decided it would be best not to say anything, so that I could avoid thinking and relax as much as possible and continue to enjoy myself in the hot spring pool.
Why look sad when you can be happy?
Whoever loves it can go, no one will stop them.
What a big deal!
Even if I am going to die, it will happen in the future, not right now. What are you afraid of?
have no idea.
What are they talking about?
Don't care.
The park treated No. 1 perfunctorily, and No. 1 soon felt bored and slowly left.
He turned around and found a strange customer. He mustered up the courage to go over and ask a question. The other person looked at him and he immediately realized that he should not go over, because at the moment of looking at each other, he felt the overwhelming black ink splashing towards his face. He had a premonition that if he went over now, his head and face would be covered with black stuff, and he didn't want to suffocate to death here.
How boring!
Number One turned to look for the second stranger.
This time, he approached cautiously. The other party did not move, did not open his eyes, and did not pay attention to his voice, as if he could not hear him. He bravely continued to approach, but halfway through, he was suddenly grabbed by some long object and hung up. He was so scared that he shouted "Ah Ah" and waved his arms and legs, and fell from a height with a thud and landed in the water.
Fortunately, the green water plants under the water opened their blue eyes, looked at him, stretched out their hands, and caught him. He was not smashed to pieces, and avoided the tragic situation of being sore all over due to the water.
He held the water grass, feeling very grateful, and murmured, "Great! Meeting you is like meeting a bosom friend in life! You don't know, I didn't have many friends before, but now I suddenly want to be friends with you. Let me ask you, are you willing to be friends with me? By the way, what's your name? I don't even know this, it's so rude. I'm sorry."
I actually like you very much. You are so beautiful. Look, this dark green body, soft muscles, and very clear blood vessels and veins. Other people's blood vessels and veins may be blue or green, but you are different. You are purple mixed with black, and there is red hidden in the black. It looks like there are beautiful pearls hidden. You are the secret itself!
I love you, my friend, you are so beautiful and considerate. If it weren't for you, I would be dead. If I didn't have you, I would be dead. I should be grateful to you, my friend. I love you so much. Ah, it is my luck to meet you in this life. Everything in me should belong to you. Come on, my friend, come and kill me. I will love you forever.
Let me become a part of you, let me become your nourishment, let me become your little blue eyes, let me become your little purple pearls, let my hands and feet become your hands and feet, let my skin become your skin, let my love also become your love, let us burn together! Become a ball of fire, burn, and make the whole pool of water boil, boil, okay? "
One person yelled: "Are you crazy?!"
Number One didn't know who was talking, but he nodded, gently stroked the leaves of the water plants, tilted his head with a smile, pressed the skin of his cheek against the surface of the water plants, hugged the roots of the water plants tightly, held them in his arms, and took deep breaths. Every breath used the connection between the water plants and his heart and lungs. His chest was open, revealing bright red blood.
It was empty inside, as if a deserted spot had been reserved specifically for his favorite water plants.
The water plants squeezed in little by little, trying to occupy this place and stay here. Number One's open chest turned green, and one could see his white bones and the bright red blood flowing happily inside, beating even more unbearably. Yes, his bones were pulled out of his body little by little, and his blood turned into small steel balls, bouncing in his blood vessels, trying to get out.
He no longer looked like a human being.
His cheeks also gradually fell off, and his facial skin slid down from his head like a layer of pink and white gauze as light as a cicada's wing, beautiful, complete, and fluttering, with a slightly intoxicated look. His cheeks were pink like blush, and his lips were bright red as blood, with a little moisture like the morning dew, making him look exceptionally soft, as soft as the sun that came out after the rain.
Like the white clouds in the sky, like the tender grass on the ground, like the gurgling stream in the mountains, like a silent breeze.
Or, like the sweetness of the smile on the face of a good-tempered kindergarten teacher.
There was a lot of black hair inside, but soon, the hair turned green, the color of underwater plants. Number One still had some self-awareness and could move on his own. He groped around like a blind man and touched the black hair on his face, which had turned green. He smiled and said, "Great! That's amazing! You are my favorite! I didn't make the wrong choice, and I didn't see it wrong."
Green tears streamed down his face, and water plants gradually covered his body. He looked very happy, so happy that he seemed about to fly away.
Zhong Ren noticed his abnormality and looked over. The normal situation before finally burst like a soap bubble.
There was a loud bang, as if a piece of glass was shattered instantly.
Jongin saw clearly what No.1 looked like now. He cried to the outside, "I'm so pitiful, I'm so sad, I'm in so much pain, save me, save me! Let me live. As long as I can live, I can do anything, anything! Don't abandon me, don't leave me, go to hell, go to hell, ah, hahaha, he has gone crazy himself, a madman, beautiful..."
He is talking nonsense.
He added: "I love you so much, I like you so much, I should be like this, I think I am normal..."
Jongin approached Number One, but Number One gradually retreated. He stared at Jongin warily and nervously with his newly grown blue eyes. Those eyes were densely distributed on his face. His skin color was slightly green. He looked like a long-dead corpse speaking: "What are you going to do? Don't come over! Get away from me! Stay away from me! The farther the better! Get out! Get out!"
He splashed water out in panic, but it was of no use to Jongin.
Perhaps he had thought of this situation a long time ago.
Because Jongin discovered his situation, there is no way to delay any longer. If there is enough time, the water plants can completely turn Number One into themselves, but now there is not enough time. Only half of the water plants are in Number One's body, and the other half is in Number One's consciousness. Number One's consciousness has not completely disappeared, so they are fighting with each other, as if it is a life-and-death battle between the two.
Whoever kills the other will survive, and whoever is killed will take everything from the other.
Who would want the enemy to take everything from them?
Number One struggled to regain control, and for a moment, he regained control, and shouted to Jongin, "We're almost there, Happy, kill me now!"
He is still talking nonsense.
The water plants were still interfering with his thoughts and actions. He felt confused and lost, and a little discouraged. He almost wanted to give up. The water plants noticed his wavering thoughts earlier than he did, and said with a smile: "You are about to die. Give up! Give up! Give it to me! Give it to me! I am your best friend. We should be together, forever. Isn't that good?"
Number One was deceived and murmured, "Yes."
The same smile as before appeared on his face again: "If we can be together forever, it can't be said to be a bad thing. I should be with you forever. I don't even have a thousand dollars, how can you be worthy of me?"
Number One thought of his empty and bankrupt wallet, and suddenly became angry. He fought for some control and disturbed the water plants with nonsense. Of course, the water plants would not be disturbed by such low-level and simple behavior. However, there is no doubt that Number One, as the owner of this body, still has some power when he is determined to fight for control.
It cannot be said to be scary, because Shuicao is not afraid of him, and even Shuicao is not afraid of Jongin, the amusement park, the waiters and other guests here.
Shuicao felt that everything was as it should be.
It did so, and that's how it survived.
Today was not the time to decide the outcome. Shuicao thought about it and slowly retreated, intending to abandon No. 1's body and look for new prey. Anyway, there was food everywhere in the hotel, and every guest could be used as food. They were so fresh, so lively, so sensitive and different! What was wrong with that? Why waste time here!
Instead of fighting for something you can't get, it's better to give up now.
The water plants thought clearly and disappeared in an instant. No trace of them could be found anywhere, not even in the water.
Number One slowly came to his senses, covered his face, and wailed loudly: "It hurts! Where is my face skin? Why did my hair grow into my mouth? Why did my head become like this? I don't want to! Ahhh——"
Jongin said, "The thing that hurt you is gone, what do you remember?"
The amusement park was attracted by No. 1's screams. Originally, I didn't want to come here. I thought No. 1 was complaining about the bad environment here and wanted to go home early. Unexpectedly, when I came over, I saw No. 1's face showing a completely different face. I was stunned for a moment and asked: "Did you get a local beauty treatment?"
Number One didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What did you say? Of course not!"
