Chapter 94
After a clanging sound, red grease flowed out from the door. It was part of number three.
The lady boss frowned and said angrily, "Here they are again. It's always like this. They make everything dirty and make me clean all the time. Don't they know how to maintain the environment? What a problem! Next time there are people like this, I won't let them in. Even if they come in, I'll make them clean up after themselves before they can leave! Otherwise, they'll think I can tolerate their bad habits here!"
As she spoke, she walked over and opened the door. Room No. 3 was covered in blood. The landlady originally wanted to find a broom, but as she thought about it, her body suddenly swelled up and turned into a large ball of wet pink marshmallow, or maybe something else, but it was hard to tell. The landlady twisted her head, and her head was still at the highest point, touching the ceiling. When she looked around, it was swaying.
But in this state, no matter how the boss lady shakes her head, there is no need to worry, because there is no chance that her head will fall to the ground.
The proprietress took a deep breath and began to crawl like a worm, rubbing the entire room. Finally, she squeezed into the bathroom with great difficulty. After a burst of rustling sounds, the proprietress came out all wet. Her hair and clothes were wet, and her shoes were dripping. Every step left footprints, but they were not dirty because the soles of her shoes were clean.
The proprietress walked out of the room, stood at the door and looked at the situation inside. When she felt that there was no problem, she nodded with satisfaction and closed the door.
"Okay, this way the next guest can stay here! I'm so smart, it's much simpler this way. I was saying, if you have nothing to do, why do you clean the place? You must be sick. Damn it, can't sick people stay away from me?"
The proprietress frowned, cursed, and walked back to the first floor.
After finishing his noodles, No. 11 felt sick. The middle-aged man next to him smiled and said to him, "If you are hungry, you can only wait until we get back to our place. I will find something for you to eat."
Number 11 finally couldn't hold it in anymore and vomited as soon as he opened his mouth.
The boss showed a very sad expression: "Don't you like it? Even if you don't like it, don't spit it out. This is too bad. It's like humiliating me. Are you humiliating me?"
His expression gradually turned into anger and glare.
"no."
Number Eleven wanted to explain his situation in more detail, but as soon as he opened him, he vomited out a large number of insect eggs, his eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground. The insects on the ground quickly crawled up, mouth surrounded him, and after a while of squirming, they ate him, and together they turned into a huge white insect egg. You can vaguely see a layer of dark brown hard shell inside, blocking the view.
"Let me take care of him."
The boss said to the middle-aged man: "After all, this is my customer, and a customer who said my food is not delicious."
Number 12 said, "But he didn't say it was bad."
The boss smiled miserably: "I know he didn't say it, but that doesn't mean he doesn't think so. Besides, does he need to say it? He has already vomited it out, how can he prove it?"
He murmured, "Catch the adulterer and the thief, catch the stolen goods, I was disappointed to see the customer spit out the food, it's wrong to waste food, and it's wrong for a boss to not even be able to make noodles properly, this is really..."
He showed a painful expression, as if he couldn't continue.
Number Twelve didn't dare to talk to him again, fearing that if he said a wrong word he would end up like the others. He didn't want to die here.
He carefully closed his mouth, lowered his head, and slowly processed his food, as if he really liked the food here.
But the boss knew that he didn't like it that much. If he really liked the food here, he would be like the first customer who sat here, like No. 10 who kept his head down while eating noodles and kept saying that the noodles were so delicious. He would be willing to sit here forever and eat noodles, his body gradually disappearing, becoming a part of the store, and a part of the noodles.
It's not that on the surface they seem to like each other very much, but in fact they don't like each other at all, it's the opposite inside and out, which is sad.
The boss stopped looking at No. 12. After his attention was diverted, No. 12 heaved a sigh of relief and ate the noodles in big mouthfuls, finishing them quickly. Adhering to the principle of not starving himself to death, No. 12 swallowed the noodles and then drank the noodle soup, even though there was a lot of red fat and crushed chili particles in the soup.
It doesn't matter, Twelve thought, they're all delicious.
I am willing to eat them all, as long as I can get home alive. It would be best if there is no one around me, because that would be the happiest moment for me.
Number 12 finished eating without any problems. The others breathed a sigh of relief and ate their food one after another.
The interior of the hotel is dominated by blue, with very thick curtains everywhere. It looks like it can be ignited with a fire, but it will take a long time to burn down to ashes.
I just don't know if there has ever been a fire here. The walls are pitch black and the glass is blue. But when I keep staring at it, at a certain moment I feel that it is green, as if covered with a thick layer of dust. When I look away and look again, I feel that there is no change, it is still a very dark and deep blue.
Because the colors in here are too dark, standing here feels like being buried in a coffin and almost vomiting.
Number One's face was very pale.
Paradise asked, "What are you doing here?"
Number One said, "I don't want to go with them."
Leyuan said: "But if you stay here, you may not be able to have lunch."
Number One forced a smile, looking weak and helpless, but he was determined and did not appear here after being easily swayed by others. He said softly, "It doesn't matter where we eat. I always feel unsafe around other people. It's better to follow you two than them. Besides, I don't know them well. If they want to harm me, I'm done."
Leyuan laughed and said, "Do you know everything about us?"
Number One shook his head. "Although I don't have the courage to say that I'm very familiar with you two, I think I know you two better than I know them. Even if everyone doesn't think so, I think so now. This is really something they can't understand. Even if I didn't say it, they know very well that it's best to stay away from dangerous people, so as not to die without a burial place."
He smiled and said, "I think if I die anywhere else, it will be the same. It's better to be here."
Le Yuan said, “That’s fine.”
The three of them walked forward together and came to the front stage. There were two people behind them, pitch black, as if their entire bodies were hidden in the shadows. It was impossible to make out their specific shapes or faces.
Number One volunteered to go and call for help. He walked to the front stage and knocked on the table. A person inside raised his head. His face was pitch black, like a blurry, foggy black night sky.
After looking at it for a long time, it seems like there is a vortex inside that can suck your brain in.
Leyuan patted No.1 on the shoulder. No.1 came back to his senses and shivered: "It's so cold."
Leyuan said, "Then you should go to the back."
Number One said, "Oh."
He obediently walked to the back and stood next to Jongin, but not behind Lok Won, because for no reason, he had a feeling that he might get beaten if he stood behind Lok Won.
He doesn't want to be beaten yet.
The park looked at the front desk and asked, "Excuse me, do you sell food here?"
The receptionist seemed to smile, because the black mist on her face slightly fluctuated with the sound. Although it never disappeared or changed color, it seemed to be reacting. The voice was a very pleasant and gentle female voice, but the words she said did not match the voice at all: "Yes, there is food here, but what can you take out in exchange?"
Paradise asked: "Do you charge money here?"
The receptionist asked, "What kind of money is it?"
Leyuan took out the red envelope, and No. 1 also quickly took out the red envelope, ready to hand it over at any time.
The front desk clerk checked the bag and returned it to the park. He asked in confusion, "Is there really money here? I didn't see any. Did you get the wrong bag?"
Leyuan took a look and shook his head: "You got it right, this is it. Isn't there any money in it?"
He was also a little confused: "I remember that before I left, this place was still full."
The receptionist said gently, "Then we have no other options. We cannot make concessions without money. This is not a place for trading without capital. Please go back."
This is an order to expel you.
But Paradise doesn't plan to leave just like that.
"I'm afraid it's not that I don't have the money, but that you took it away."
The park grabbed the black mist on the receptionist's face and said, "If you don't return the money, let us in. Otherwise, give me your face. How about that?"
The receptionist angrily said, "Why are you like this? I spoke to you in a nice way, but you didn't listen. Are you willing to get out of here? You are such a scumbag! Don't think we don't have security guards here! They are much more capable than you."
When the receptionist said this, a bit of white skin appeared on her face, as if it was a disguised appearance after visiting the paradise. It was the face of a beautiful young woman, without wrinkles, scars, acne marks, large pores or dull complexion. Her skin was white with a rosy glow, and it seemed as smooth as the finest white jade.
That feeling was like a piece of tender tofu suddenly appeared before your eyes and was placed on the table in front of you. It was trembling slightly and emitting milky white steam. If you touched it with your hand, you would have a very wonderful experience.
Number One was stunned and murmured, "Is this the so-called milk beauty?"
Jongin laughed beside him: "That may not be the case."
Number One came to his senses, feeling a little shy, his face flushed, and he lowered his head, not daring to look again, for fear of offending the beauty, and also afraid that there was something wrong with his brain, and that if he really rushed forward and ruined things, that would be bad.
As for Jongin, he didn't need to worry about that.
The black mist in Leyuan's hand turned into a jade-white handkerchief with a little red and white flower embroidered on it at the same moment the black mist turned into a human face on the receptionist opposite. The receptionist came to Leyuan with a smile and showed him her snow-white chest, which was so white that it was blinding. The clothes underneath could just cover the red color.
It looks weird, outrageous, and a little disgusting.
Le Yuan squinted his eyes due to the whiteness, grabbed the front desk person by the neck and pressed her down on the stage: "You vixen, do you think I can't tell what you are? You are as black as a piece of coal, so don't dream of being a white swan, you can't even learn to be one."
The receptionist was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage: "I tried to persuade you with kind words, but you refused. Fine! Today, I'll let you see how powerful we are!"
As soon as the words fell, a group of people rushed out from the darkness, wearing identical masks on their faces, which were dark gold in color but did not reflect light. The two exposed eyes were completely black, without any light, as if the lights here did not exist in their eyes. They were wearing the same uniform, which was blue and white, exactly the same style as the hotel.
The shoes were black, and when they walked in the black shadows wearing black shoes, it was as if they were rushing through the air at a very fast speed.
If an ordinary person saw this situation, they would have fallen to the ground in fear, but Leyuan just stood there, staring at them motionlessly without even turning his head.
The front desk staff thought he was frightened and thought, he pretends to be so great, but in reality he is just like this! Hey, I thought something was coming, but if it is something like this, there is no need for me to be afraid.
She thought so and was about to break free, but who knew that part of Leyuan's attention was still here. When she pushed so hard, Leyuan subconsciously pushed her back. There was a bang, and the receptionist's head hit the counter with a dull sound. It sounded very heavy. Leyuan took a look and saw that, as expected, part of the receptionist's head was sunken.
In that concave part, No. 1 clearly saw that there was a twisted and tangled black mist inside the head of the person in front of the stage, like a group of insects laying eggs while warming themselves by the fire.
It seemed that they were still in the process of eating. The insects raised their heads and looked outside, and happened to meet the eyes of No. 1. No. 1 was stunned at first, and then felt a strong sense of nausea. He bent down and began to vomit. Because of this, he just missed the process of a group of security guards rushing over from the opposite side. Before he had time to get scared, he vomited himself and almost fainted.
Jongin helped him up and took a step forward, standing in front of him. The security guards who seemed to be so imposing suddenly became limp and turned into a pile of water-like things, soft and fluffy, lying on the ground, like a pile of blue and white gel that had lost its box. One of them even emitted bubbles, which made a popping sound when it burst.
Number One finally finished vomiting. He looked up and saw a large pile of blue-white gel-like substances in front of him. He was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jongin and asked, "What happened just now?"
Jongin smiled and said, "Nothing much, just the friendly reception lady gave us a warm welcome as part of the welcoming ceremony."
It is also part of the welcoming staff.
He looked toward the front desk and asked, "Really?"
The receptionist was shocked to see the motionless security personnel lying on the ground. She froze in shock, her eyes wide open, staring at the ground. She didn't even think about trying to escape from the park or thinking that she was dreaming and talking nonsense to others. She said nothing, yet it seemed like she had said everything.
It wasn't until the paradise pulled the receptionist's hair that the receptionist came to her senses and cried out, "It hurts, what did you do to my hair? That's not ordinary hair, what do you humans know? This is all my essence of power. If it wasn't for the beautiful appearance and skilled transformation required for being a receptionist, do you think I would be willing to become like this? It's so disgusting and white.
It's so greasy, I don't know how you guys like it."
Paradise Rao was interested and asked: "How do you know that people will like this look?"
The receptionist rolled her eyes, snorted, and smiled, her voice was soft and gentle, and it was a bit seductive: "How could I not know? You men are all ungrateful. You get the woman and play with her, and then you don't care about her anymore. Do you think I haven't seen it before? I can tell you in more detail, but you are the only one who can listen. Do you want to listen~ah?"
Leyuan used a little strength in his hands and directly pulled the receptionist up from the stage. Facing the receptionist's face that kept changing, he smiled and said, "If you want to die like this, you can give it a try~"
The front desk was caught off guard and felt the pain again. He screamed, "You are such a tactless person! People were just joking with you, and you acted like this. You deserve to be single for the rest of your life!"
Leyuan said: "I am not only a bachelor, I am also an orphan. Do you know what I like to do most? I am willing to sacrifice my life to dethrone the emperor. Your food is just an appetizer, not even a congee or oil dish. Do you think I will like you? Don't dream. It is not the same as liking something.
If you like everyone you meet, you are a stink bug."
The receptionist covered her head, as if she was covering her brain and ears, and started to cry out, "Okay, okay, I know, I know everything, please don't move your hands and feet like that, it hurts."
Leyuan asked: "When will you pay me back?"
The receptionist was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the money?"
Leyuan sneered: "The money you just took from my wallet."
The receptionist said with a bitter face: "You don't know, our hotel has a rule that everyone who comes here must be inspected. We are the inspection machine, and the inspection standard is whether you can get the entry qualification from us. You have already obtained the entry qualification, so why not, don't take the money back.
If our leader asks us for money and we can't give it to him, we're doomed.
I don't want to die yet, please, please spare me. Anyway, you are here to eat, there is no need to eat me with you, right? Huh? "
Paradise did not speak.
The receptionist thought he was wavering and said quickly, "You are a magnanimous person. I am just a piece of trash. I don't know the difference between gold and jade. It's all my fault. Don't hit me. I will open the door for you guys now, okay?"
Jongin said, "Since she's so sincere, it doesn't matter if I go up."
Leyuan let go of his hand and said with a smile: "Well, maybe it will be more fun up there."
After he finished speaking, he remembered that No. 1 needed to eat, so he looked at him and asked, "Are you hungry now?"
The receptionist covered her scattered hair and saw that No. 1 was an ordinary human. She quickly transformed into a beautiful lady, wearing a red and white uniform and standing behind the receptionist. She leaned forward gracefully, waved to No. 1 and said, "Little brother, you don't know, we have a lot of fun here, not only in terms of food. You will understand if you come a few more times."
Number One's lips turned pale with fear: "No, no."
He thought, I did this once, if it happens a few more times, will I be dead? I don't dare to do it again. I don't dare, don't look for me anymore.
The receptionist thought he was shy, so she covered her mouth and smiled, "If you're really hungry, the security guards on the ground are all edible. Do you want to have a taste?"
Number One was stunned for a moment, looking at the blue-white gel on the ground, and was greatly shocked. At this time, the gel had changed from a paste all over the ground to a slightly human-shaped state, looking like half a person, and the remaining half had melted together. The half-person that appeared was the upper body, the kind with a human head and hair, and was also wearing clothes. Number One felt himself choking.
"No, thank you. I don't think I can eat that much."
Number One thought to himself, I can’t eat something that looks like something inhuman, can you give me some normal food?
If this continues, I might really go crazy here!
The receptionist smiled and said, "I only have one bowl of instant noodles here, and it's Laotan pickled cabbage and beef flavor. Would you like some? If you like this, I'll find you some snacks."
As she spoke, she opened the drawer to check, and took out Panpan bread, Yili milk, and Jinluo ham sausage. She looked at No. 1 and asked, "Do you want to eat?"
Number One is very hesitant.
What's wrong with this instant noodle, but why is it that it has to taste like Laotan pickled cabbage? And he doesn't like pickled cabbage.
He had no interest in rolls unless they had fillings in them, but that roll didn't seem to have any.
As for milk, it tastes so bland, like a glass of water. It's better to just drink water. At least you won't feel thirsty after drinking it, and there will be a strange taste in your mouth when you savor it.
The ham sausage was good, but without a knife, did he have to use his teeth to open the package? That would be too much of a strain on his teeth. He didn't think his teeth were very good. If he accidentally lost his teeth, it would be fine if he lost them somewhere else, but if he lost them here, who knows where they would end up and who would get them? What if someone with bad intentions picked them up and cursed him?
The more Number One thought about it, the paler his face became. However, his stomach refused to give in and launched a gurgling sound. Number One covered his abdomen, and another gurgling sound came out, as if even if he blocked all the pores on his body, his stomach would still make gurgling sounds through the gaps between his fingers, gurgling, gurgling.
By then, it’s hard to say what he will become.
Number One thought, forget it, it’s good to have something to eat, it’s better than dying after eating.
He walked over, looked at the food, nodded and said, "I want to eat it."
The receptionist laughed and said, "Every time I see people like you with a tangled look on your face, I find it funny. You don't know, the people I've met before, especially men, always say, don't worry, I don't want it, I won't compete with you for it, I have no interest in it. Some people also say this to me, it's just like this, it's not good-looking, I don't like it, but then turn around-"
She opened the instant noodle box to get some water, put in the seasoning and noodles, and said, "The man came to me, hugged my waist, called me 'kiss my baby', and told me to love you. I love you so much. You are really two-faced, completely different, as if you were not the same person before. I would say that most people are the same. They say no with their mouths, but their bodies are very honest."
The receptionist was so happy that he burst into laughter. Number One's pale face turned a little red and he looked like a patient with a high fever, but he couldn't utter a word. He felt humiliated for a moment, but thought it was true at the same time. He tried to keep himself calm, but he looked even more uneasy.
"alright."
The front desk brought the instant noodles soaked in hot water, placed them on the front desk, and pushed them to No. 1: "If you want to eat, open them yourself. These things are also placed here for you. If you want to eat, eat them. If you don't want to eat, don't waste them on me. The garbage should be sent to the trash can. It's not good to leave it on the road. If other guests slip, we will charge them."
Number One touched the hot instant noodle box and asked curiously, "Are there other customers here?"
The receptionist nodded: "Yeah, of course there is one. We have such a big hotel here."
She laughed and said, "How could there be no guests? If there were no guests, wouldn't we be waiting to die? I don't want to starve to death. If it was just to starve to death, why didn't I go out? It's much brighter outside than in here. It's not that I don't like brightness, it's just that the wind outside is stronger than here. Didn't you feel it when you came in?"
The front desk staff was also a little curious.
Number One blinked, carefully glanced at the state of the instant noodles, and prepared to eat, saying, "Strong wind? I didn't feel anything. When I came in, it felt quite quiet outside."
Calm, he thought.
But he stopped talking after that and ate the noodles in big mouthfuls, finishing them in a short time. He was not at all subtle when drinking the noodle soup and drank it all in one gulp. His face was red, and he finally looked much healthier and more normal. His lips were shiny and he looked lively and attractive in an inexplicably attractive way.
The receptionist pointed to the trash can.
Number One took care of things.
The front desk clerk gave them directions: "Go up, the dining hall is on the second floor. This is the staircase, and that is the elevator. The staircase is darker, and the elevator is brighter, but it is narrow. If there are other guests, they might bump into you. Remember to look carefully when you open the door."
Number One nodded.
He hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Can we take the elevator? I feel very tired when I think about climbing the stairs, and it doesn't look safe here. If I climb the stairs here, I'm not in good health. After climbing up, I'm afraid I won't be able to breathe. If something happens, I won't be able to escape. I don't want to be a burden..."
Leyuan nodded: "Okay, let's take the elevator."
Number One was very happy: "That's great!"
The three of them went to take the elevator. The elevator was not on the first floor, but on the second floor. After pressing the elevator button, a faint red light continued to emanate from that location. This was not a big deal, but next to it, not far from No. 1, there was a green sign that was bent like a broken bone hanging above his head. On the sign was written:
Safe passage【Please】escape here
Number One looked at the red button, then at the green light sign, and felt very strange, mainly because the combination of red and green always made people feel that it was too unique.
In addition, the lighting here is always very dim, with almost no direct light and no bright white light. Everything is blurry, as if something is hidden in the dark. Number One couldn't help but pinch his hair. His scalp was itchy, and there was a small wound inside, which was scratched by a fingernail. Blood was oozing out from it little by little, like a small bead on a necklace that had broken off the string.
A worm crawled out of it.
Number One knows nothing about this yet.
The elevator door opened, and there was someone inside. However, it's not accurate to say it was a person.
Because this is a humanoid creature wrapped in a pitch-black suit. The suit is very tight and the material looks very good. It is an exquisite handicraft made of fine tailoring and fine fabrics. If you want to increase the price, you can also say it is a work of art. Even though this creature is wrapped in fat all over, like a bouncy ball, it did not damage the suit.
However, this person had too much fat on his body, causing his skin to sag, and the suit also fell down and landed on the ground. It looked dirty, or as if it was just covered with a little dust. It directly blocked his legs and feet underneath, making it impossible to tell whether this really looked like a person.
Maybe it doesn’t even look like it.
This ball-like thing, let's just assume it's a person for now, was moving out of the elevator little by little. It looked very slow and difficult, but in reality, the speed was not slow at all, because No. 1 glanced at the time and found that the other person was getting out of the elevator faster than the average person. He was a little surprised. As for why he knew this, it was because he used to hear the noise of children at the doorstep of his home.
At that time, the surroundings seemed safe enough, except for the noisy children, which was very annoying. His greatest pain and trouble was the sound of children outside the door. He wanted to work 24 hours a day until he earned enough money to move to a new place to live. However, he found on the Internet that no matter where he lived, there would be the sound of children outside the door, so he gave up this plan helplessly.
However, it was a blessing in disguise that his money did not suddenly disappear.
However, if I don’t change my residence, it means that my life will not change at all. How can this be possible?
He couldn't bear to continue living like this, so he thought of various ways.
He bought earplugs online, trying to calm himself down, but found that even though he was tidying up late, the voices of the children outside the door still kept coming in, drilling into his ears and torturing him like a roundworm in his stomach that couldn't die.
He tried to renovate the house and add soundproofing, but failed because his neighbors complained to him in advance and he was warned by the property management to stop. He was very angry, but there was nothing he could do because he found that living in a renovated soundproof room could not prevent the outside noise from coming in.
He almost wanted to dig out his ears, but he didn't do it in the end.
It was because of his excessive mental tension that he had to go to the hospital for treatment. The doctor said he might have bipolar disorder. He thought about the rotten things at home, nodded, and asked the doctor how to solve the problem.
The doctor told him that he could try counting, so he began to try to count from one to an unknown number and then repeat the process.
It was useless and he was very miserable. He began to hate all the sounds outside until he couldn't sleep at night and opened the door to find that the elevator was out of order. The elevator door kept opening and closing repeatedly. He felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction and realized that he needed this sound. He began to count the number of times the elevator door opened, and later, he calculated the time it took for the elevator to let others in.
So it almost became a habit.
The man in the black suit took one look at Number One, and Number One immediately felt his scalp tingling. He touched his hair and found that it was full of bugs. He was sure that it had not been like this on his head before. He widened his eyes in shock.
“Ahhh—”
Number One was so shocked that he fainted on the ground.
Jongin grabbed No.1 and leaned him against the wall, looking at the black suit.
The man in black suit looked at Jongin for a moment and gave him a smile.
It was a blurry, bloated face, with loose skin and full of golden grease. Even in the dim light, it gave off a greasy smell, as if he had just applied cauliflower oil evenly on his face to protect his skin.
The facial features are almost invisible, but some special gaps can be seen from the wrinkles. Those abnormal gaps are the facial features. However, it seems that there are more than one set of facial features on this face, because Leyuan vaguely sees two eyes growing on the cheeks from the shadows of the cheeks.
Of course, normal people's eyes are not located here.
But normal people probably don't have the chance to grow to this level of obesity.
"If you didn't mean it, please take these bugs away instead of letting them continue to grow on my companion's head, what do you think?"
Jongin asked.
"Can."
The man in the black suit raised his head, and the layers of wrinkles on his neck opened up a little, revealing the black dirt inside, as if it had not been cleaned for a long time, but he obviously didn't mind these things, so Jongin and Leyuan were indifferent.
The bugs on the ground crawled into the body of the black suit, inside the folds that looked like peony petals, and lay motionless.
