My heart clenched; this environment was just too eerie.
If I didn't absolutely have to come to a place like this, I would never have even glanced at it in my entire life.
However, we're currently trapped by this agreement; if we don't go, we're essentially just waiting to die.
It's very likely that the boss will be resurrected, and then the two of us will die completely inside.
I can't just give my life away for nothing!
I frowned slightly as I looked at the somewhat chipped paint on the sign.
"Is it really possible for anyone to live in there?"
Yiyi also spoke softly.
I also really want to ask a question, but this building doesn't look like it was recently moved here at all.
What scares me even more is that this place might be a gathering place for ghosts and monsters.
If that's the case, what could possibly gather here in this desolate wilderness?
That means it could only be the fake corpse we saw before.
Just thinking about this makes me break out in a cold sweat.
If that's the case, wouldn't we be walking right into a trap?
While thinking about it in my mind, I was also trying to embolden myself.
It's okay, it should be fine.
If something really goes wrong, then we'll have nowhere to run.
Since we're already here, let's make the best of it!
I took a deep breath and walked over with Yiyi, while Lei Jijian followed closely behind.
"If there is any danger, come out immediately!"
"Master, that's for sure!"
I slowly pushed open the door of the Riverside Hotel.
Squeak...
With a crisp sound, the door emitted a screeching scraping sound.
These are two glass doors, one of which seems to have been fixed in place for a long time.
There was a clear sense that someone had passed by the door I pushed open.
The sound coming from above was like rusty iron pieces rubbing against each other.
It doesn't seem like people come and go often at this place.
When we're on land, like in the hotels that Luo Tianhe, Lao Dao, and I went to before, those places have a very lively and down-to-earth atmosphere.
At least all the lights should be on.
It's one thing that no light comes on after you open the door, but why is there still this sound?
The sound of the glass doors rubbing against each other was unusually loud in this old neighborhood.
I was so scared that my hand trembled.
Could I have guessed right?
This place can't possibly be a gathering place for those Yin Corpses!
Yiyi also quickly grabbed my arm and whispered.
"Brother, this door looks so old. Is there no one inside?"
Yiyi's voice trembled slightly.
I also felt that something was off about this door. In a normal hotel, people would come and go frequently and have been touched by many people.
The door looked as if it hadn't been touched in a long time.
Although it's glass, it feels like iron that's been sitting around for a long time.
"It's hard to say, let's go in and take a look."
I gritted my teeth and told the truth: at this point, I was already having second thoughts.
How could we possibly find what we want in a place like this?
If we just rush in, wouldn't that be like sending someone straight in alive?
But there was no other way; if we didn't go in now, we would only face certain death.
I swallowed hard, then pushed the door open. Instantly, a smell of rotten wood mixed with a faint musty smell hit me.
This feeling is like entering a wooden house that has been raining for a long time.
I even felt like coughing more.
The itching in my throat that I felt before entering the riverside hotel was now even worse.
I coughed it all out in one breath.
But then I felt the wind coming out of my throat blow up a lot of the dust inside.
I suddenly smelled a dusty, pungent odor that went straight into my throat, making me feel even worse.
I tried to suppress the itching, but then I couldn't help coughing twice.
Yiyi held me tightly. The environment inside was so dark that I couldn't see my hand in front of my face. I even felt that this place was just a huge storage room with no one in it at all.
This isn't a hotel! I've never seen a hotel like this at midnight!
Only a sliver of moonlight shone through the doorway, barely enough to illuminate the outline of the hall.
My heart sank. In this situation, I should have just waited for the sun to come out.
Even though time was tighter then, at least we could still get some sunlight through.
Even in places like this, where the depths are truly unfathomable, sunlight will always eventually seep in.
That way, we wouldn't be shrouded in darkness here.
If it's during the day, then there's even less time.
But that little bit of time could have cost me my life.
I mustered my courage and squinted, looking around. This faint moonlight should be enough.
That's when I realized that this wasn't a hotel lobby at all; it was practically an abandoned warehouse!
My new guess is absolutely right.
"Master, this place is no longer an inn! Look at the dust on it!"
The lightning sword suddenly transmitted a voice in my mind, which startled me.
However, he was absolutely right. I looked over and saw a row of suitcases in the corner, covered in a thick layer of dust.
The wooden planks on the ground were slightly warped, like the kind of wood that had been left out for a long time and had naturally even edges.
In fact, if it weren't for the realistic feel of stepping on it, I would have thought it wasn't a wooden plank at all, but rather some wood veneer laid on the ground.
This isn't a hotel at all! If it is, then the owner is really ripping people off!
I kept complaining to myself.
Not only on the ground, but the dust on that suitcase clearly indicated it hadn't been touched for years.
At that moment, I quickly thought about the purpose of our visit.
After all, although there was no one here, it was probably like when we first entered the entertainment venue, there were people, but they were already resting.
That's true; shallow layers like these typically require a lot of energy to operate at night.
Characters like the driver Lao Liu, the postman, and the cleaning lady who wasn't even sure if she was a ghost were all incredibly bizarre.
They all had varying amounts of green energy on them, some as slime, some as tubes, and some as powder.
If that's the case, I think the staff inside probably didn't come out because they wanted to conserve their energy.
At that moment, I mustered up my courage and shouted loudly.
"Is anyone here? I'm here to make a deal!"
If anyone's there, just say something, make a sound!
My voice was quite loud, and the echo reverberated several times in the empty room, but no one answered.
