Chapter 35 404 Hot Spring Street (5)(1/2)
"There really is a gray kitten behind this little brother." She muttered and repeated it.
The lady turned to look at Qi Qiu nervously, but this "NPC" had a mask on his face, so she couldn't read his expression.
The air was silent for a moment.
"The kitten won't hurt me, right?" Qi Jiu broke the silence and asked the little girl gently.
Xiao Mi shrugged: "I don't know about that, it seems to like you quite a bit."
"Have you ever raised a cat before?" she asked again, as if she wanted to explore more stories about this "NPC".
Qi Jiu guessed in his mind that the little girl's ability may not be the ability to see through others.
So he followed Xiaomi's words and continued to test, and said in a nostalgic tone: "Well, I used to have a little gray cat, but unfortunately it passed away not long ago."
Qin Rang:...Is it appropriate for you to curse your little gray cat like this just to play a role?
"That's right," Xiao Mi sighed softly and believed Qi Jiu's words, "I'm sorry, it has been protecting you."
"Thank you," Qi Jiu smiled, paused and then said, "I would like to ask, can you see the soul of the dead?"
Xiaomi: "Yes, if the spirits are friendly, I can still communicate with them."
Qi Jiu guessed correctly, the little girl's ability is psychic.
And his permanent prop "Cat's Blessing" was mistaken by the other party for the appearance of a spirit body.
The wife sweated for her daughter: "I'm sorry, Xiaomi always likes to say some scary things, which has caused trouble to everyone."
"Xiao Mi is very powerful." Qi Jiu responded.
Xiaomi is a child after all. After receiving the other party's approval, her little tail was raised. She continued enthusiastically: "I said, you and your brother came here to work during the holidays. Don't you think this hotel is weird?"
"Weird? What do you mean?"
From the player's perspective, Qi Qiu knew that Xiaomi was planning to get clues about the dungeon from him, an "NPC".
Xiaomi: "This hotel is suppressed by a very strong and evil spiritual field. I felt so uncomfortable as soon as I entered. This usually only happens in places where bad things have happened."
"So I want to ask my little brother, has there been any accidents in this hotel before?" Xiao Mi asked Qi Jiu.
Qi Jiu tilted his head: "I haven't heard of this, but my brother and I are working in this hotel for the first time. We just started working today, so we don't know much about the history of the hotel."
"Well, then there's nothing we can do." Xiaomi said a little disappointed.
Qi Jiu was very self-conscious as a service staff: "I'm sorry, I can't help you."
Xiaomi shook his head and frowned thoughtfully: "And I always feel that this place is so familiar."
"After I got off the bus, I felt for a moment...as if I had been here before..." She muttered to herself, "Forget it, it's probably the same for all hot spring hotels."
Familiar? Qi Jiu remained calm on his face, silently paying attention to Xiao Mi's words in his heart.
He believed in logic and his sixth sense, and believed that flashes of inspiration were not just coincidences.
The mother and daughter did not know that they were also travelers. Xiaomi did not obtain the background information of the hotel from him, but instead unknowingly revealed the information he already knew to Qi Ku.
Now Qi Jiu is sure that something bad happened in this hotel.
Moreover, this little player has psychic skills, which is very beneficial in supernatural dungeons.
And what causes and stories seem to be hidden behind the little players...
"By the way, your tour group bus seems to have arrived later than the boss lady expected. Did something happen on the road?" Qi Qiu asked his wife after having started chatting with the two customers.
The wife had a very good impression of the two young massage technicians and replied generously: "We encountered a ghost on the way to the scenic spot. The tour bus kept circling on the road and didn't get out for a long time. Plus,
There was quite a lot of snow on the road and the road conditions were not very good, so we were probably more than 20 minutes later than the expected arrival time.”
Qi Chu paused slightly: "So, how did you get out later?"
"It's very simple. If you're sure it's a ghost hitting the wall, just pee outside the window," Xiao Mi said. "This is called hot peeing."
Qin Rang was stunned: "...Huh? Are you serious?"
Xiaomi shrugged: "Really, you can try it next time."
Qin Rang: "..." It's better not to do this next time. He won't be able to pee when he's scared.
The appointment time was coming to an end soon. After Qi Qiu and Qin Rang provided a complete set of massages, the lady stood up to stretch her muscles and politely thanked them: "Thank you for your hard work tonight, two masters."
"By the way, there is something I want to ask you two about..." Madam hesitated, her eyes wandering on Qi Qiu and Qin Rang's masks for a moment before saying, "The little girl at the front desk told me that the massage service may be intentional.
An unexpected surprise, I want to ask what exactly is this surprise?"
Qin Rang felt awkward and uncomfortable for a moment.
In order to attract customers, Qi Jiu used ambiguous slogans to promote their massage services, making travelers who came in mistakenly think that they had clues here.
Qi Jiu looked at the "Tourist Check-in Safety Guide" that his wife had placed on the tatami, and said quietly: "The temporary workers who wrote the check-in guide usually don't work very seriously and often make mistakes. The rules written can't avoid contradictions and mistakes.
Please use it at your own discretion."
He is not an unscrupulous businessman. After benefiting from the other party, he will definitely keep his promise and give the other party corresponding benefits.
He revealed the information he touched to the mother and daughter.
Hearing this, the lady was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly picked up the "Safety Manual" and read it several times, her face getting paler and paler.
Qi Gui stopped and said: "If there is nothing else on your side, we will leave first."
Only then did the lady remember that the guest was still there, and she thanked her while paying: "Oh, okay, thank you very much for your hard work."
Qi Qiu bowed and exited the mother and daughter's room. When he closed the door, he could clearly see Xiao Mi looking over his shoulder, staring intently at the empty corridor behind him.
Across the gap between them, Qi Jiu and Xiao Mi looked at each other, and then he lowered his gaze and closed the shoji door.
"That little girl just now..."
"Shh." Qi Jiu pressed his index finger to his lips, signaling Qin Rang to go back to the house before speaking.
Qin Rang immediately stopped talking, bit his lip and walked quietly through the dimly lit corridor.
After returning to the room at the end of the corridor, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
[Congratulations on successfully completing the "Hotel Entry" branch and becoming an intern massage technician in the hotel]
[The "Hotel Intern Safety Code" will be unlocked for you soon, so stay tuned]
The two of them received notifications from the system at the same time. As soon as Qi Jiu put away the massage equipment, there was a knock on the door——
"It's me." The voice of the landlady said.
Qi Jiu opened the door and said, "Please come in."
The masked boss lady chuckled: "The front desk has told me the situation, and I knew you wouldn't let me down."
Qi Jiu handed the 8 coins to the proprietress as promised: "Both guests have ordered for half an hour. This is the portion for you."
The landlady accepted the share, looked at the two of them with satisfaction again, and said with a smile: "From tonight on, you will be the intern massage technicians of the hotel."
As she spoke, she handed the "Hotel Intern Safety Manual" to Qi Jiu, "Read it carefully and remember it well. This hotel needs to be run in order, otherwise it will be very troublesome."
After the explanation, the boss's wife exited the room, and the two couldn't wait to open the "Internship Handbook"——
"Congratulations on officially becoming an intern at the hotel. In order for you to have a happy and safe working life in the future, please strictly abide by the following employee rules:
1. It is extremely impolite to take off your mask in front of passengers. Please do not take off your mask during service;
2. After 24:00, please do not leave the room under any circumstances (please ignore this article if you have night work arrangements);
3. There is no ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in the passenger’s room, if ▇▇▇▇ please ignore;
4. Any staff member has the obligation to keep the hotel clean. If you see garbage left by guests, please clean it up in time (note: including food waste and domestic garbage);
5. Do not open unoccupied rooms easily;
6. If you see that the guest's mental state is extremely abnormal, you can choose to deal with it on the spot;
7. For the health and safety of you and hotel guests, please do not smoke;
8. Please firmly believe that you are mentally normal at all times;
Thank you again for choosing to be our intern, and I wish you a happy work and life."
"Look at the second rule, the intern rules say "please do not leave the room under any circumstances", so the seventh rule of the tourist rules "if you wake up at night and find an extra bed, please wake up your roommate immediately and leave the room" is very
It's probably misleading." Qi Jiu quickly analyzed.
With the "Bates Factory" as a foreshadowing, Qi Kui would not completely trust the rule book he received, so he needed to make a comparative analysis to eliminate misleading directions.
"Based on what Xiaomi just said, this hotel and even this street are controlled by powerful and evil spiritual fields. I think the theme of this book should be inseparable from supernatural beings, accidents and other elements."
Qin Rang felt his scalp numb when he heard it: "Damn it, I haven't seen a supernatural book yet."
"I'm just guessing, and the buses we saw on the road are quite supernatural," Qi Qiu said.
It was already 8:30 pm, and the girl at the front desk knocked on the door again and said that two more customers needed massage services.
There is still an hour and a half before the evening buffet opens at 22 o'clock. The travelers want to use this free time to collect as many clues as possible. Because it is a highly flexible dungeon, everyone has no clue and can only start from the details and NPC prompts.
Therefore, the little girl at the front desk said that "the massage service may bring unexpected surprises", which made the two intern "NPCs" Qi Zhu and Qin Rang very popular.
Qin Rang was about to pick up the customer. Qi Qiu turned to the little girl at the front desk and said, "Sorry, please tell the customer in the future that in order to ensure the quality of service, my brother and I will only receive two customers every night."
