Chapter 70: The fifth round of the game
The night breeze was blowing, and I walked casually on the streets with my hands in my pockets. This busy city seemed out of place with me at this moment. Perhaps because of my mother's departure, I had an indifferent idea about everything, and nothing was indifferent.
Before I knew it, I walked to the Rose Hotel.
This hotel is very strange, and as soon as you get close, your body feels cool.
It feels particularly obvious in hot weather like the air conditioner is turned on.
The fat boss with a big belly said with a smile when he saw me coming, "Little brother is here, you haven't been here for a long time."
"Haha" I smiled, walked into the hotel with my shoulders down, found a stool in the corner, sat down, lay on the table and said weakly: "Fry two home-cooked dishes for me, it's okay to be spicy."
"Okay, you can wait for a moment."
The shop owner walked into the kitchen with his stomach clapped his stomach. He had a very busy meal, and soon the delicious food came out.
He seemed to see that I was in a bad mood, so he walked up to me and sat down, twisted two bottles of beer, filled it up with a "rattle", pushed the cup in front of me and chuckled, "Why are you feeling dejected? Are you in a bad mood?"
"That's right, I think life is quite boring and there is no direction."
"I had such an idea when I was as old as you. In fact, just find something to do. This person just can't be too idle. If he doesn't have that wealthy life, he will easily think about it when he is idle."
"You're still open to it." I drank it all, and the boss poured me another cup.
"Uncle is here, so you don't have to think too much. After dinner, go back and have a good sleep. It will be a new day when you open your eyes tomorrow, right?"
"Yeah" I was eating the food and started chatting with the shop owner without a word.
He saw my absent-minded look. After chatting for a few words, he clapped his hands and said to me: "I'll treat you to this meal. Remember uncle's words, take a good rest after going back and don't think too much."
"This is not possible. One code is the same as one code, and the money still has to be paid."
Mainly, I think that there is no business in your store. I have come here so many times but haven’t seen any customers. If you have to invite me in this situation, I feel uncomfortable and feel sorry for you.
Of course, I don't have the nerve to say this.
After all, they have good intentions.
I chatted with each other, but in the end he still couldn't win, so I left the money for the meal.
When I walked out of the hotel two or three meters away, I always felt something strange and couldn't help but look back.
The uncle was standing in the store and smiling at me. I nodded as a response. When I was about to leave, an old man came over next to me and looked at me strangely and said, "Young man, what are you watching here?"
"Nothing, say hello to my friend."
The old man looked like he was a ghost, looked at me, then turned his head to look at the Rose Hotel, and said something that shocked me.
"Your friend? Where are your friend? Why didn't I see it? Isn't this just a wall? Young man, although I'm old, I'm not as dizzy as my eyes are still dark. Don't fool me."
Hum? The old man can’t see the Rose Hotel?
The uncle was still smiling, but the uncle could not see anything.
I said in disbelief: "Uncle, isn't there a restaurant? You can't see it? Don't scare me in the middle of the night. I've been here for several meals."
The old man glared at me: "You young man, you bullied me so old, aren't you? I've lived in this alley for decades and have never heard of a restaurant here. If you talk nonsense, I'll beat you up."
My uncle's words made me completely confused.
He really can't see the Rose Hotel.
Such a big hotel is right in front of you.
I stepped forward and pointed at the hotel and said, "Uncle, look carefully, what is this?"
The old man frowned and said, "A wall, why? Do you want me to take a picture of it for you with my phone?"
I was stunned. The uncle was still smiling in the hotel.
However, the originally naive smile became very strange at this moment.
I swallowed, regardless of the old man's actions of taking out his cell phone, I looked up at the Rose Hotel.
The characters of the Rose Hotel are flashing.
Suddenly, the light of the character "Mei" went out, and the light of the character "Fan" went out.
The radical of the character "美" flashed a few times and then went out.
There are only two creepy words left in the huge brand.
"Ghost Shop"
I couldn't help but tremble. The old man had taken the photo and took it to me in a childish way and argued: "Look, this is just a wall, where did the restaurant come from?"
There is really no Rose Hotel on your phone, only a dark wall.
However, this hotel is still in front of me until now.
But the four big words "Rose Hotel" have become "Ghost Shop".
The owner's smile became more and more weird.
A cold sweat broke out from behind me, and I turned around and ran away.
Oh my god, it's really a ghost shop.
So what have I eaten these few times?
I reached out to slash my teeth and spit it on the ground. At first glance, the milky white object looked like a fat insect.
I resisted the urge to vomit and left the alley in a hurry.
I ran to the river, regardless of whether the river water was dry or not, so I took a few big mouthfuls into my mouth and rinsed my mouth hard, hoping to open the gaps between my teeth and clean them one by one.
It's a little more comfortable after a while.
I collapsed on the ground, with goose bumps on my body.
I have seen so many ghosts, and I have become a little immune to this kind of thing, but when I think about the bugs I eat these few times, I feel very terrifying to think about it.
A cold wind blew across the river, and I shivered all over and rushed home tremblingly.
I don’t know if God was deliberately playing with me. When I reached the fork in the road, an old woman squatted on the side of the road and burned paper money.
The fire set off her wrinkled face, and it looked particularly weird this night.
The old lady noticed that I was looking at her and looked up and smiled at me.
It would be fine if you don’t laugh, but this smile is even more gloomy and terrifying.
The night wind rolled up the paper ashes and flew all over the ground, and a lot of them fell on me. I patted my body, muttered bad luck, and left without looking back.
I ran to my house and felt scared gradually.
bite!
At this time, the phone rang.
Announcement is issued in the WeChat group.
Life-seeking impermanence: Everyone, how are you resting during this period? I believe everyone has not forgotten the game. After four rounds of selection, the fifth round of game will be launched soon. Tomorrow at 8 o'clock, everyone will gather at Nancang Wharf. After arriving at the place, someone will send you to the game venue.
Note: In this game, some players violate the rules of the game and will change the original rules.
The other party didn't explain clearly what rules it was, but I know what it means.
The roughly means that this time, we will no longer be able to withdraw our souls, but will be there to participate in the game in person.
In fact, there is no difference between real people and soul-extraction methods. If you lose, you will die.
However, if real people participate, they will die directly in the game.
And soul participation is just to let you live a little more time.
If a real person is in danger, he will definitely attract attention after his death. After all, a living person who is so alive will disappear like this, and anyone will feel strange.
This is the reason why Chen Keke and the others withdraw their souls? In order to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Chapter completed!
