Chapter 16 Visitors at Night

  【Green Shade Hotel】

Due to lack of maintenance and management for many years, there is only one guest in the entire hotel, Yi Chen.

but,

Yi Chen didn't mind such a mess. He had lived in even worse places when he was in the orphanage... Even if there was a smell mixed in the damp bedding, it still didn't affect his sleep.

However,

 The first night’s sleep was not particularly smooth.

 It’s not that Yi Chen himself doesn’t sleep well.

Rather, there was a slight noise from outside the house, which caused the plants in his body to become active, stimulated his brain, and brought him back to reality from a state of deep sleep.

 When you open your eyes,

I actually saw green buds floating on the surface of my arm.

“The plants in the body are giving warning?”

at this time,

   ~

 There was a slight scraping sound of wooden boards outside the door, which was obviously not from the boss.

“I am the only guest in the whole hotel.

There are two possibilities for making such a sound,

 One is the [sister] imprisoned in the guest room at the end, an uninvited guest from outside the hotel. "

 Thinking about pushing the Sheriff into the lake, there is a possibility that trouble will come to your door.

but,

Yi Chen had no intention of getting up, but hid the silver ax between the blankets and continued to pretend to sleep.

 If you rush out of the room to check the situation, you may be trapped in the hotel room.

relatively,

This airtight and familiar room, as well as the windows that open to the outside world at any time, are available.

 Although the sounds coming from the corridor are small,

 But in the quiet night, you can hear it clearly, and you can probably imagine that it is the sound of some sharp object scraping the wooden floor.

soon,

 The sound of movement stopped in front of the door and was replaced by a metallic sound similar to picking a lock.

 Click~The old door lock was easily opened.

 A dark figure with female curves is standing outside the door.

 She slid her slender fingers into her mouth, smeared them with the smooth saliva between her tongue coatings, and smeared it on the surface of the rusty door shaft.

The saliva was so large that it slid to the ground along the door axis.

 When the door shaft is fully lubricated,

 The door was pushed open slowly without making any sound.

As soon as I stepped through the door,

 The shadow jumped up and climbed up the ceiling like a gecko... The mucus all over her body seemed to be able to easily provide such wall adhesion.

 In a twinkling of an eye,

 She had climbed from the door to the top of Yi Chen's bed.

His black crystal eyes stared at this strange guest in the hotel,

 The drooping black hair fell on the side of the young man's face and remained still.

 Perhaps it’s because of my love for this handsome face,

 Perhaps I’m simply hungry,

Tick ​​tick~

 A drop of saliva just fell on the quilt covering Yi Chen's neck.

This gaze lasted for five full minutes.

 It is basically certain that the young man on the bed is completely asleep.

 The shadows continue to crawl,

 Climb from the ceiling to the vertical bedside wall, getting closer to the sleeping young man.

 When separated by one meter,

 A tongue that was beyond ordinary people stretched out from his mouth and gently licked the young man's face.

 At the same moment,

Yi Chen has grasped the silver ax tightly and stabilized his mind.

"wait! This is not the best time yet. 』

 As long as the target gets closer or does any harmful behavior, he will instantly open his eyes and chop off his head with one blow.

 The licking is over,

 The shadow has a tendency to continue to climb down,

 The opportunity that Yi Chen has been waiting for is coming soon.

  Step!

The sound of leather shoes suddenly broke the situation.

At the same time, the boss’s scolding was heard as low as possible.

 “Kadaisi, stop it!

 This is our rare guest, don’t disturb his rest...As long as you don’t receive any clear instructions, just continue living the way you are.

 If you are hungry, I will bring you a fish later. "

The low voice scolded the black shadow, and he was stunned.

He no longer had any thoughts about the young man on the bed, and slowly moved his body upward, like a child who had done something wrong, crawling back to the door with his head buried.

 Wait until my sister completely leaves the dormitory,

The boss was still standing at the door, staring at the sleeping Yi Chen, as if confirming something... About a minute passed, and he closed the door gently.

                                         

 Hearing the sound of the door being locked,

 The air squeezed in his heart was quickly exhaled, and the palm holding the ax handle was covered with sweat.

 “What on earth is this…”

 At this time,

There was an itching sensation on the cheek that had been licked just now, and when I reached out and touched it, some fish scale structures actually grew.

 Yi Chen was not in a hurry,

 After waiting for a while, I quietly went to the bathroom.

 between the mirrors,

 Pieces of tiny shiny scales are scattered on both sides of the cheeks, and they have a tendency to continue to grow and spread.

Just when Yi Chen was thinking about how to deal with it and whether to forcefully pull it out,

 Gajigaji~

Plant buds sprouted from the inner layer of the cheek, pushing out the fish scales rooted in the facial skin, and fell off one after another.

“Huh? Are the pathological characteristics of my body rejecting external infections?”

at this time,

 The little grape on the shoulder poked his head out and commented on what just happened in the room:

“It’s strange~ I left without attacking you.

It should be difficult for a "parasitic disease" like this to have "self-awareness", let alone the target right in front of you... It can actually rely on consciousness to curb the infection of living creatures.

 This pair of brothers and sisters in the hotel seem to be quite special.

 Their ‘grapes’ might be delicious. "

Yi Chen didn't say anything more. After confirming that all the fish scales on his face had fallen off, he continued to return to the bed.

 Thinking about what just happened, I fell asleep again without realizing it.

 …

 Dong dong dong!

A knock on the door woke Yi Chen up again. It was already the second day, and the sun was shining on him through the window.

 Drag the heavy brain to open the door,

The person who knocked on the door was the innkeeper.

 He also held a piece of grilled whole fish in his hand. Although it didn't look good, it exuded a rich aroma.

  “This is a free lunch.

 Just a reminder, it’s almost noon. If you are really here to investigate, hurry up. "

"Um."

 After receiving the lunch, Yi Chen chose to remove the eyes of the fish and fed them to Little Grape first.

 “This fish is ‘clean’, just eat it.”

 Only when you get the inspection report of the small grapes can you use it with confidence.

When you feel full, you put on beautiful clothes and it’s already afternoon.

 At this time, the Green Lake area is providing free lake tours for tourists.

When Yi Chen came to the lakeside, the place was already bustling with townspeople and tourists.

"Is it so lively... It seems that everyone is actively investigating the secrets of the town."

  There is a long queue at the boarding point.

Yi Chen could only stand at the end honestly.

Who knows?

 A familiar voice came from behind,

“Oh, are we late? There are already so many people queuing up... What a coincidence?”

The blond Edmund and his two teammates also arrived at this time.

"Um."

Yi Chen only responded slightly, without even turning his head.

Edmund did not cause trouble or force anything, and he did not talk to anyone while waiting in line. He just chatted casually with his companions.

 There is another detail.

In front of some tourists returning from the lake, Edmund took the initiative to strike up a conversation, making physical contact such as shaking hands or putting an arm around their shoulders.

Such a seemingly ordinary action,

  Actually, these tourists are being checked to see if they are infected, so as to judge the risk of lake tours.

When Edmund returned to the team, he whispered something, deliberately letting Yi Chen hear it, "There shouldn't be any danger in the lake tour, just feel free to play."

Coincidentally,

The number of people on the lake boat is four, and it happened to be four of them.

Yichen was forced to board a pedal-operated boat with this group of people. The hull was painted with simple white paint.

There was also a male staff member standing on the boat who was wearing green overalls and rain boots with dull eyes... He was not the same person that Yi Chen saw last night.

“Please remember four points before setting off.

  1. Everyone needs to participate in pedaling.

  2. If you hear shouts from people who do not belong to the boat crew while on the lake, please do not respond in any way.

  3. Never touch the lake water.

  4. In the event of falling into the water, the ship will not provide rescue and will sail away quickly. "
