After finishing her meal, Yuan Yuanyuan sat in a chair and was in a daze for a while.
The people next to them finished their meals one after another. Mr. Xie Ding, who was surnamed Tang, and Ms. Li, who were next to them, stood up together, said a few more words to the people below, and then they could leave.
Yuan Yuanyuan stood up at this time and slowly left the stage with the crowd.
Yuan Yuanyuan saw an elevator next to her, but it seemed that none of the monsters were sitting in it, and only humans were waiting there, so she just followed the monsters in front.
This hotel is not only a place to receive them, but also the residence of the main figures of the negotiating team.
The names of the negotiation team members were posted on the doors. The monsters mainly lived between the fifth and ninth floors. The ghosts were all moved to the higher floors. The rest of the floors were all filled with humans.
The whole corridor was filled with some noisy noises. Yuan Yuanyuan went up to this floor and only felt that the noise became quieter once she entered the corridor.
She turned around and saw that the queue behind her was still crowded. In fact, the human voices were louder, so all she could hear were their conversations. There was complete silence among the monsters.
Yuan Yuanyuan turned around and went upstairs from the corridor on the seventh floor. The further she went inside, the quieter the noise became, as if she was isolated from the world behind her.
There weren't many monsters coming from the seventh floor. Yuan Yuanyuan turned around and saw that there were only a dozen or so monsters following her. They were mostly little monsters. Those little monsters didn't dare to follow her and stayed far away from her.
The organizers did not originally prepare the original round house, but it was not difficult to prepare one temporarily.
When Yuan Yuanyuan reached the end of the seventh floor, she saw her own house. The word "Yuan" on it was obviously larger than the words on other labels, and it was obvious that they were not typed together.
The paper even felt slightly warm to the touch. As Yuan Yuanyuan pushed the door open, she saw an auntie hurriedly cleaning up. When she saw her push the door in, she ran over very embarrassedly and said she was really sorry that the room was too crowded and there was no larger room available, so she had to find a smaller one temporarily.
Yuan Yuanyuan smiled and waved her hands, indicating that it was all right. She looked around the hotel, which was the size of a three-room hotel. The decoration inside the room was quite antique and Chinese style, which was different from the lobby below.
There was a Crayon Shin-chan box next to it. I don’t know who brought it up to her. Yuan Yuanyuan thought, maybe it was the little monsters that were left outside?
After the aunt finished cleaning, she walked out, leaving Yuan Yuanyuan alone sitting in the room.
When there was no one in the house, Yuan Yuanyuan quickly got up and locked the door, then walked around the house looking for a place to charge. After searching for a long time, she couldn't find it. Not to mention a place to charge, there wasn't even a TV.
Yuan Yuanyuan sat on the bed in confusion for a long time, and finally, an idea suddenly occurred to her. She moved the bedside cabinet away, and sure enough, she found an electrical plug that had been built up at the back. She could faintly see a small square block on the wall... Should we say that humans are really thoughtful?
If a bolt was left here, who knows, some curious and idle monster would stick its claws into the bolt... ahem, Yuan Yuanyuan's face darkened when she thought of that scene.
Although the humans were quite "considerate", the phone couldn't charge itself. Yuan Yuanyuan sat on the bed with her phone and charger, looking confused. After sitting for a long time, she finally felt that this was not a big deal, so she just pushed the door and walked out.
Not all monsters and humans have gone to sleep. At this time, many people are still in an excited state, so many people are in the corridor. Looking down from the window, you can see a lot of light reflected on the smooth square, and the lights in many rooms are not turned off.
There happened to be a little girl sweeping the corridor with her back to the door. Yuan Yuanyuan approached stealthily and patted her on the shoulder. When the girl turned around with a look of fear on her face, she asked in a pornographic tone.
"Girl... where can I charge my phone?"
The girl looked confused, probably because she was looking at a monster that suddenly appeared. The scene of holding a charger and a mobile phone in her hands was a bit incongruous. It might be the first time she had seen such a monster in her life.
So she was stunned for a while before saying, "There are no batteries on these floors... Only on the floors where humans live. There is a place to charge batteries in my dormitory. Come with me."
"Okay, okay." Yuan Yuanyuan immediately followed excitedly, and followed the girl all the way down to the fourth floor.
Below the fifth floor is where humans live. The first second she stepped in here, Yuan Yuanyuan felt a lively atmosphere blowing towards her.
She held her hat tightly. There were many humans in the corridor here, and even children were seen nearby. She didn't know if they were anyone's family. It was really different from the deep feeling of the place where the monsters lived upstairs. It had a happy and joyful atmosphere.
The decoration of the rooms around here is not as non-mainstream as the ones upstairs, it is just a very normal hotel decoration.
Yuan Yuanyuan seemed to have finally found a familiar environment. In this daily and familiar atmosphere, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
She walked past several children and a boy and followed the girl into a staff dormitory. There were three beds in it, and it looked like a normal hotel suite.
The girl handed her a charging board and said, "No one will be back tonight, so you can charge here for a while... I'll talk to the higher-ups tomorrow and see if we can change your room. Can you tell me what your room number is?"
"My room number?" Yuan Yuanyuan thought for a moment, "The innermost room on the seventh floor... 730. Yes, thank you. Sorry for the trouble."
After the girl left, she turned on her cell phone, which she hadn't turned on for a week. She really wanted to see if anyone had sent her any messages, so she was very anxious.
After turning on the phone, a bunch of notification sounds popped up one after another. After Yuan Yuanyuan waited for all the sounds to stop, she saw five missed calls and more than a dozen text messages. She hadn't had time to read WeChat and Penguin yet, so she casually glanced at the dozen or so text messages. There were messages from China Mobile, spam messages, and a few from Liu An and Tang Shi Qiu Ling.
Yuan Yuanyuan read the messages one by one. Liu An mainly said that he had already got on the bus. She replied to Liu An with a message saying that she had also arrived, and then looked at the text message Tang Shi sent her.
Tang Shi's message was to ask her where she had been recently, and that she seemed to have made some progress in her tricks, and asked if she could take a look. Yuan Yuanyuan thought of Tang Shi sending the text message with a proud look on her face, and thought to herself, that's great, it's not easy for someone so skilled in tricks to have achieved some results.
Qiu Ling’s... was a little different. After Yuan Yuanyuan turned on the phone, her eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
Yuan Yuanyuan read it from beginning to end. Qiu Ling's text message mainly said that C City had been a little restless recently. In just one week, there had been several Night Parades of a Hundred Demons. She had never seen so many Night Parades of a Hundred Demons before.
Moreover, there has been a homicide in the city recently, and the murderer has not been found yet. The news has been reporting on it. Although no one knows who the murderer is, Tang Shi secretly told her that it was done by a monster, but the news did not dare to say it.
These are all small details that Qiu Ling sent to Yuan Yuanyuan about three days ago. She thought about it and wrote several hundred words to Qiu Ling, mainly telling her not to go out unless necessary, to stay at home, not to run if anything happened outside, and to call the police as soon as possible if she saw anything wrong.
If the police come, the monsters will probably be a little more restrained... After all, they are linked to the government agencies on the human side. Yuan Yuanyuan finished reading the news and looked at the updated Monster Records. During the time when she didn't read it, Monster Records had been updated for three issues. She saved it and prepared to go back and read it later. At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the girl just now walked in.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked up and happened to meet the little girl's eyes. The little girl saw her looking up and was inexplicably nervous. "Well, well, well... your room has been prepared. There is a room just for you on the fourth floor. There are fewer people there. If you have any questions, you can tell us..."
"The fourth floor?" Yuan Yuanyuan was stunned. "Isn't the fourth floor where humans live?"
"Yes, yes." The little girl became even more nervous when she was asked. "But, but there is only a charging place on the floor where humans live. We have just arranged for everyone around to leave, so there are not many people nearby. When you go in and out, you can just go through the east stairs. That place has been sealed and no one else will go there."
"Oh." Yuan Yuanyuan was a little embarrassed. She just said it casually. Such a fuss was made. People around were sent away and a corridor was sealed off... But from a human perspective, it seemed necessary to prevent monsters from accidentally hurting people.
Although Yuan Yuanyuan believes that she is unlikely to hurt anyone...but she shouldn't do anything that could easily lead to misunderstandings, or be in trouble.
"Do you want to go?" the girl asked. "I can take you there right now. It's not far from here."
"Okay, take me there." Yuan Yuanyuan put down her phone, stood up and followed the girl. The girl remained silent and took her to the inner floor.
"Here..." Yuan Yuanyuan said as she walked and looked at the decorations, "It's really well built. There's a hotel like this in the deep mountains, with electricity, water, and heating."
"This place is actually... the former Nanchun Restaurant." The girl in front of her whispered after hearing what Yuan Yuanyuan said, "It's not a new building, it's still the original one, but it was rebuilt several times later, and it has electricity and heating, and it's also been renovated. It's usually used as a hotel to receive foreign Taoists..."
Yuan Yuanyuan fell silent after hearing this. She thought that this Nanchun Restaurant seemed to be a famous place, so she should stop talking nonsense as it would make her look awkward.
The girl took her to a corridor, then turned a corner. The corridor on the other side was surprisingly empty. The girl took her over, put up a "Do Not Pass" sign next to it, then took her to a house and handed her a room card.
"Is there anything you need me to bring up for you?" the girl asked. Yuan Yuanyuan thought for a moment and said, "I have a box in my room... I can get it myself later. I won't bother you."
She didn't want outsiders to see her Crayon Shin-chan box anymore...
"Okay, I'll leave first. If you need anything, call me." After the girl finished speaking, she hesitated for a long time. Yuan Yuanyuan found that she didn't leave and stood at the door. She turned around and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"That..." The girl murmured for a long time, and Yuan Yuanyuan didn't hear clearly what she said.
She lowered her head and frowned, trying to listen carefully to what the girl had to say. But at this moment, the girl suddenly came to her senses, bowed suddenly, and yelled out something.
"Can you please give me an autograph?"
This sentence echoed throughout half of the corridor, and the lights in the corridor suddenly lit up...
She also called Yuan Yuanyuan, who was standing in front of her, deaf...
Yuan Yuanyuan was so frightened that she trembled. Then she looked at the girl in front of her, who was bending over with a look of fearlessness of death on her face. She was a little confused. She looked at the row of lights outside and thought, huh?
Why?
……Why?
Yuan Yuanyuan lowered her head and looked at the girl again.
The girl silently took out a pen from her pocket that she had hidden for who knows how long, and took out a booklet and placed it in front of her, then turned to a new page. Yuan Yuanyuan saw that there seemed to be a bunch of signatures of young men and handsome uncles on the front... and at the end was a blank page.
She looked at the girl in front of her. Her face was red and she looked a little creepy.
Yuan Yuanyuan was confused for a moment, then hesitantly picked up the pen and wrote the word "Yuan" on the notebook.
The neat and tidy small calligraphy...among a bunch of flamboyant signatures, the painting style seems very strange...
...In fact, its style of painting is very weird.
