This is the same thick fog we saw before!
That's right, absolutely right!
It was the same thick fog that Lao Liu encountered when he brought us in earlier, a fog that was incredibly fishy and sweet.
I was filled with doubt, but I still didn't know exactly where the thick fog came from.
"Don't breathe!"
I shouted loudly, then quickly covered my mouth and nose. At that moment, the smile on the face of the boss surnamed He in front of me became even more mysterious.
At this moment, the white mist spread so quickly that it soon covered almost the entire hall.
And, like a demon, it crawls into our nasal cavity, its fishy-sweet taste sliding down our throat.
Suddenly, I felt incredibly dizzy, as if my mind was filled with lead.
No, run!
With only this one thought in my mind, I disregarded everything else, quickly grabbed the girl, called for Lei Jijian, and ran out.
"Run! Run towards the stairwell!"
At that moment, I quickly had the Thunderstrike Sword clear the way ahead. In that instant, a blue-white bolt of lightning shot up and cleaved a short streak of light through the white mist.
However, this beam of light was completely insufficient to illuminate what lay ahead, just as blurry as when we and Lao Liu were in that white fog at the beginning.
It wasn't just blurry; the visibility ahead was less than half of what it was at the time of travel, probably only about half a meter.
That shouldn't be the case. The lightning from a lightning strike should illuminate quite a lot. I was puzzled for a moment, but at this moment I couldn't blame Li Zijian. He had already tried his best.
As I pulled the girl along, I pulled her out of my backpack and pulled out the flashlight that Lao Liu had given us earlier, hoping it would still be of some use!
My heart was pounding, but at that moment, the flashlight seemed to have a miraculous effect, illuminating the road ahead for about 5 meters.
Holy crap, Lao Liu's stuff actually works!
He glanced at the girl beside him, and seemed to have a joyful expression as well.
Indeed, it was the right decision not to refuse Lao Liu's offer at the beginning!
Otherwise, we might accidentally bump into something right now.
"Master, this fog is thicker than before, we can't break through it!"
Lei Jijian's voice carried a hint of urgency.
"Moreover, there is an extremely sinister energy here, completely different from the atmosphere in this inn!"
Hearing Lei Jijian's shouts, I became even more anxious.
No way, that's evil energy...
Could it be the fake corpse that appeared in the fog before?
I was getting a little anxious. If it was that guy, things would be bad. If we were outside, we could still put up a fight with him, but this place was not a normal scene at all!
Yiyi followed me closely at this moment, and she was also trying her best to use the energy in her body to illuminate the path around us.
However, since it wasn't her area of expertise, the pink light that the girl activated could only illuminate her surroundings.
But that's enough. All I need to do is find out her location and not lose her!
"Brother, there are footsteps behind us. It seems like that waiter is catching up!"
Holy crap!
I frowned slightly. You were so friendly just now, how come you're now helping others chase after us?!
Didn't we agree that you would repay our kindness and give us sea marrow?
Is this how you repay our kindness?
I turned around and saw a somewhat blurry figure emerging from inside the room, and I quickened my pace, pulling the girl along with me.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed the same waiter from before!
Surely this guy couldn't have been turned into a fake corpse, could he? Or perhaps he was a more advanced type of fake corpse.
The person hiding behind us has really gone to great lengths to eliminate us!
They actually managed to make something so advanced, and they were willing to use it on the two of us!
Just as I was hesitating, something unexpected happened.
He chased after him, shouting loudly as he went.
"Don't run! You two, don't run! Boss He means no harm. Even if you don't stay at the hotel, he won't lay a hand on you!"
This guy, it seems, is still a human being!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have said those things.
"No harm, no harm, why is there such a thick fog all of a sudden!"
I ignored him, just gave a casual reply, and pulled the girl tightly as we continued rushing towards the stairwell.
But as I was running toward the edge, I suddenly felt my foot hit something.
Looking down, I saw that the counter had just been overturned, and the counter that the waiter had put back in place was now blown to pieces!
Holy crap!
What's going on here?
Didn't this waiter fix it perfectly before?
I can see clearly that there is only a faint mark on it.
Now, looking at it like this, it seems to have been chopped into eight pieces.
I don't know when this thing was moved to the stairwell, but now it's completely blocking the way.
"Why are you running! Kid, take another look at me!"
A rough, hoarse voice came from within the white mist, even rougher than the voice of Boss He from before.
Boss He reappeared, but he was still wearing the same worn-out blue overalls, with those "likes" still emblazoned on his trousers.
The fierce look on his face was gone, but there were more wrinkles, and he had a complicated expression. Looking at this face, it seemed even more familiar...
Who is this?
Then, Mr. He slowly spoke, floating like a ghost in the thick fog, and following us at the same speed.
"Look at me properly. Don't you really recognize me?"
After saying this, Boss He shook his head, and a lot of white mist rose up around his head, making the density even denser.
It was at that moment that my urge to run intensified. I grabbed the girl and quickly continued rushing to the side.
To be honest, even someone like him, I could fight him head-on, but this white fog is just too much of a threat to me.
Whenever this fog comes out, I can think of the feeling of wandering through the alleys behind that roundabout with Lao Liu.
It felt like a disheveled woman with messy hair was about to suddenly appear in my face at any moment.
We're on the second floor now. If he can conjure up two glowing doors out of thin air, why can't he bring the fake corpse over here?
If that fake corpse really appeared out of thin air, then I would be the one truly in trouble!
The girl and I ran forward at full speed, while Lei Jijian illuminated the path ahead as much as possible. Soon, we left the two strangers in the inn behind.
However, after taking two steps, I heard Boss He's voice again!
