Chapter 321 That Man
Chapter 321 That Man
Yanyu Fengqing Hotel, front desk.
The monkey-faced businessman stood here with a lit cigarette in his mouth.
The proprietress across the street was also smoking a thin cigarette.
Compared with the rough movements of the monkey-faced merchant, the boss lady's smoking movements were much more delicate.
Savor each inhalation carefully before taking a second puff.
When she finished smoking the cigarette, there was even a hint of reluctance on her face.
She praised in a sweet voice: "Brother Monkey is indeed a man who has seen the world. The cigarettes he brought here are much better than those in our little place."
"Whether it's the taste or the packaging, it's the best I've ever smoked in my life."
"I have lived for most of my life, and it is only thanks to Brother Monkey that I have the blessing to taste this foreign stuff."
The monkey-faced merchant laughed and said, "Hehe! It's not really a very good product. The real top-notch stuff is only available to the really big shots. Taking a sip is not just for tasting. It's just like the ginseng fruit and peaches. If a mortal takes a sip, he can live a few more years."
"I told you, elder sister, that I also came from a small place, and it was with the help of noble people that I was able to get this job."
"I can walk around and experience the local customs and practices of different places. I once went to a snowy mountain. It was so cold that it was almost freezing to death. I was the only one who survived among my companions..."
Listening to Monkey Brother's stories and conversation, the landlady's liking for him gradually deepened.
I thought to myself that he was indeed from outside, he was very knowledgeable and knew so many things that I had never imagined.
It would be great if he could take me away from here. I wouldn't have to stay in this small hotel and worry all the time.
Unfortunately, her so-called husband is not someone you can easily mess with.
If he knew that I had betrayed him and eloped with another man.
She couldn't imagine what terrible consequences that would bring.
That man is more than just the owner of this hotel.
Many of the taboos in the ancient town were created by him personally. No one, whether it was the people in the town or the ghosts, dared to provoke him. He was a real devil.
If not, she wouldn't mind having a contact with the monkey-faced businessman that went beyond friendship.
The proprietress took the initiative to say: "Don't worry! Since they have already violated the taboos here and attracted Fangfang, Huahua, and Shasha, they won't live long."
"Moreover, all six of them called the number on the small card, three times each. They are courting death. If they still don't die, it will be unforgivable."
"In our town, we must abide by the rules of the town. There are some things that you absolutely cannot do. If you do them, you will be courting death and will never be reborn."
When Monkey heard this, he was very satisfied.
I can't take action against them directly, but I can still do something indirectly.
This time the player must touch the taboos of the ancient town, which provides him with an opportunity.
He could interfere and greatly increase the difficulty of these taboos, and with the help of the taboos, kill them all here.
At this time, the proprietress looked at the computer screen at the front desk, which showed the video footage from the corridor surveillance.
The picture showed that Su Ming and four other people rushed out of Room No. 5 on the third floor and headed straight for the stairs.
The lady boss was surprised and said, "Oh? They were able to escape from Fangfang and the others. They are definitely not ordinary people!"
"I thought they would be killed right inside."
The monkey-faced merchant leaned closer and found that only five people had come out. He said quietly, "It's good enough to kill one. The leader among them is no ordinary person."
The monkey-faced merchant had no idea what methods the player named Miracle Master had.
However, it is possible to pass the copy called Night Road perfectly.
He knew the difficulty of that copy. He had been trapped there before and felt extremely desperate and could not see a way out.
But he didn't know how to escape from there smoothly.
Moreover, the fact that the End believers take him so seriously that they are willing to make valuable promises to get rid of him proves his strength or potential in some aspects.
The proprietress frowned: "If he goes downstairs and leaves the hotel, I can't do anything to them..."
She felt a little embarrassed. She took benefits from the monkey-faced merchant, but failed to make things clear on her own, which made her feel a little guilty.
However, the monkey-faced businessman was very open-minded: "It doesn't matter, there will be opportunities later."
"Being able to kill one of them means that the miracle worker has some skills, but that's all."
"I will definitely find an opportunity to kill him later."
On the screen, Su Ming led the other players and rushed to the stairs. However, they did not choose to go downstairs as the proprietress had expected. Instead, they went up the stairs to the fourth floor.
The proprietress was shocked: "Oh my God! How could they be so desperate that they even want to go to the fourth floor?"
"I clearly told them that the fourth floor is a forbidden place, why didn't they listen?"
It was the first time she had seen such a stubborn outsider.
For outsiders, the taboos of the ancient town must be made clear.
They, the locals, must also abide by it, otherwise, there will be disaster.
That's why the proprietress explained the two taboos to them as soon as they came in.
Those outsiders before did not believe the authenticity of the taboo before the incident, so they were stubborn and chose to take risks.
Then, such people often have two outcomes. One is direct death, which is the end of everything. If they can survive, they will become extremely honest, start to behave themselves, beg for help from everyone, and want to leave Huaishu Ancient Town.
The monkey-faced businessman laughed and said, "You are so confident!"
"They came here with performance requirements. They want to touch at least three taboos in the town. They are planning to touch all the taboos of the hotel!"
The proprietress: "They are really courting death. The taboos on the fourth floor were left by him personally. Even I dare not easily set foot on the fourth floor."
Thinking of the scene on the fourth floor, the proprietress was still frightened.
The "he" here refers to the innkeeper, who is the real owner of this place.
Back then, when she was not yet the boss lady, she was locked up on the fourth floor by that man. If she had not been lucky enough to be chosen by that man, she would have ended up like Fangfang and the others, neither human nor ghost.
The proprietress asserted, "The fourth floor is a place that my husband has carefully arranged."
"If they really dare to go in there, they will surely die!"
The monkey-faced merchant said, "If that's the case, that would be great."
"I hope to have a chance to have a meal and drink with my brother afterwards."
