For a long while, the sky was gloomy, thick black clouds were overwhelming, and the dull thunders heralded the coming storm.

After traveling around every street and alley in the northern part of Solo City, I couldn't find a hostel with spare rooms.

Originally planning to go to the Nancheng District to stay in the hotel, the sudden black clouds made them worry, and they had to take a horse-drawn carriage to try their luck in the nearby suburbs of Beicheng District.

"Tomorrow must be a clear sky." After getting off the carriage on the outskirts of the city, Ji Bai looked up at the gloomy dark cloud that was about to drip, rubbing his chin. "Well, do you think so."

"I don't know if it's sunny or not. It's not if someone has to visit the truncated tower. We should now look at the soup chicken on the street through the windows of the city hostel." Lin seems to have a bit of criticism about this, and it is a rare one to jump out. So many words.

Ji Bai silently glanced at Gordon beside him. "Have you heard that, what about you."

"Iron canned food, you don’t have any other skills. The skill of shaking the pot is definitely making people lose their temper. It’s not you. "I’ve never been to any part of the city of Thoreau. I’m familiar with it." Then he forced me to visit. Is it?" Gordon was immediately unhappy, and expressed solemn protest to Ji Bai's behavior of throwing the pot.

"Talking about it all the way, isn't you the one who's worried about you? I give you priority to take you there and still have so many opinions, I don't know what is good or bad." Ji Bai shook his head.

"Don't change the subject, you can."

‘Enough, don’t drag me into the water if you want to be drenched. "Lin held her forehead with a headache.

Before the words fell, the dark curtain drew a thunder of dawn, illuminating the woods on the outskirts of the city.

"Let's go, the most urgent thing is to find a hotel for rest." Ji Bai put away the energy of quarreling with Gordon, and his attitude towards business matters, Ji Bai has always been rigorous and reliable.

In the muffled thunder, the three walked into the woods on the outskirts of the city.

As time goes by, the only remaining light is covered by dark clouds, and the visibility in the forest gradually decreases.

"Iron cans, how long will it take you to go out?" Gordon stretched out his hand, and a few raindrops hit his hand.

The gust of wind is like an invisible hand lifting the leaves on the ground, and the storm is coming soon.

Ji Bai stopped and uttered the three words "I don't know."

"?? Are you not known as the veteran ground-headed snake in Thoreau? You have lived here for dozens of years, and you haven't even figured out this city?

"You haven't been to the outskirts of the city?" Lin opened the simple atlas of Solo City that I didn't know when she got it.

"I've been here. When I was young, I often took my sister to the amusement park here privately, but for some reason, the suburbs were demolished and rebuilt.

"So, you are not familiar with the terrain at all? Then you took us around for most of the day?" Gordon was a little speechless.

"You didn't ask me again." Ji Bai spread his hands, expressing that he was innocent.

"You really are the head...

"Don't make a noise, the cockroaches have been here somehow, better than the two of us who have just arrived,...Lin pointed to the front. "I seem to have found the hotel.

Following Lin's gaze, the old apartment building standing in the gloomy forest is like a night watchman in the dark twilight. The dim light is very conspicuous in the darkness but with a trace of treacherousness. The roaring thunder sounded, and the old 8 faded. The wall is pale.

"Does this place actually have an apartment? Should I say it's bad luck?" Gordon took out a lollipop and stuffed it into his mouth. "This old building looks a bit old" when it looks like a little tricky)

"Weird? No." Ji Bai shook his head. "You should go and see the mansion of a high-level vampire. That's the real thousand-year-old temple. Before you get used to it, your back feels cold all day long, and you always feel like someone is blowing cold wind behind you."

"It sounds like you have lived." Gordon licked the lollipop and sneered at the predominantly bragging words.

"Now we don't have to choose, right? I pray that the building is not full. At most, the sky is the bed and the ground is the bed." Ji Bai stepped forward first.

In the dark night rain, lightning flashed across the sky from time to time, reflecting everything around him pale and treacherous.

In the whistling of the wind, the raindrops are misty, and the storm is coming as promised.

The old wall skin has faded its original color, one of the old-fashioned door lights is broken, and the other only emits a faint light, faintly illuminating a small area on the steps in front of the door.

"Buckle buckle"

"Excuse me, is anyone here?" Lin gently pressed the knocker and asked politely.

... The only change was the sound of wind and rain that became more pronounced after the voice fell.

"Excuse me, is there anyone in there?" Lin cleared her throat again.

Still no one answered.

"Is there no one inside?" Lin frowned slightly.

"The lights are all on, how can there be no one." Gordon stepped forward. "Your voice is too small and it's overwhelmed by the storm, I'll come.

"Boom boom boom!..." Compared to Lin's understatement, Gordon was purely smashing the door.

However, it seemed that it was deliberately ignored, and there was still no response.

After an awkward silence, it was obvious that there was a pound sign on Gordon's forehead.

"Boom boom boom!

"The shopkeeper opened the door and came out to pick up customers, don't you want to do business?"

"Hey, one by one, be sure to open the door quickly, open the door quickly, do you have the ability to open a shop but you can't come out to meet people?"

"Crack." The old wooden door opened with a cry.

Gordon, who was leaning on the door without any preparation in his heart, almost staggered.

"It's so noisy, are you yelling outside?" The old hoarse voice penetrated the sound of the storm.

A flash of lightning flashed at the right time, and the rickety figure in the house with a cane was photographed pale.

A certain emotion seemed to be suppressed in the voice, like a low roar of an evil beast.

"This old gentleman is interrupted. We are tourists going to Solo City. We passed by your hotel tonight and want to spend a few nights." Lin took the conversation respectfully and politely.

"Borrowing?" The old man squinted his eyes. The black hat on his top was inconsistent with the slightly bright clothes on his body, as if he was wearing a black hat for what purpose.

Looking across Lin's silver hair and red eyes, the old man's tone eased slightly. "I am not a hostel here, and I do not accept guests. The three of you should find another house."

"We don’t have a place to go in such a heavy rain outside. The old man can’t be accommodating. There are so many rooms left in this apartment. If you stay in the apartment for one night, you won’t have fewer arms and legs. Besides, the three of us It’s not that I’m not paying you.” Gordon tried to reason with the old man, “No, it’s no good. Where can I say so much?!” The old man was very impatient. When he pulled the doorknob to close the door panel, he glanced inadvertently. The iron helmet that didn't say a word.

... Are you a knight? The examiner paused and asked in a deep voice.

"Not anymore.

... If the old man does not allow you to live here, are you planning to break into the house? "

"Don't dare, if the old gentleman is reluctant, we will leave. I'll be disturbed." Ji Bai took Gordon's shoulder and took a step back slightly.

"Come in." For a long time, the old man threw down these three words and turned to leave.

"What are you still doing? Hurry up and close the door for me. If you don't want to stay in the shop, then get out of here!" The three people standing at the door shivered and hurriedly walked into the apartment and closed the door.
