Chapter 14: I havent seen so many new people for a long time
The sky above Dead Silent Island is surrounded by gray clouds and mist all year round. Although it is a little better than the darkness of the Wuguang Town, it is only on the surface. In fact, this isolated island on the sea is also abandoned by the sun and has no light.
The buildings of the past era are mottled and distributed on the devastated land like shadows of trees. They are thick and old, making people involuntarily immersed in the decaying history of this island, and they feel a strong sense of dizziness about this once gorgeous island.
This is probably a circus and European court, uniquely gorgeous and bizarre.
"What is this..." Walking from the ruins of the suburbs, the deducers finally arrived at the place they had once overlooked after another twenty minutes.
The smell of decay mixed in the wind came to my face. The dust stuck to other things due to moisture, but the smell of mold still dissipated with the air and spread to everyone's nose.
A sharp-angled double-storey building blocked their way. The building was narrow and long, gray-red all over, and the bricks were stacked perfectly, like a beautiful work of art.
It would be even better if the sharp corner on the second floor did not collapse a large piece due to decay.
When they approached the first house in excitement and vigilance, they did not expect it to be so long. When they came to the door of the building, the building could no longer see the boundary from both sides, and like a city wall, blocking the inner city scenery behind.
"I can't tell what it is..." The extraditioner tightened the steel bars in his hand and asked hesitantly, "Border wall?"
The direction they came from was obviously not at the city gate. I don’t know whether it was the north, south or west of the city. No matter which side, they might encounter buildings and walls that defend the city.
In theory, this is the case.
The others didn't say anything. Obviously, they didn't think the building in front of them had any connection with the city wall. It looked too fragile and not too high. They could see the tall buildings and spires behind them after a little back.
Using things to defend may cause a brain disease.
"Twenty minutes away from here is the mountain. When there are still people in this city, will you build a wall in one go?" Dai Yuefu frowned and exchanged voices.
"In fact, this city does not need a wall? Isn't it an isolated island? According to the theory of offense and defense, cities built in basins are easy to attack and difficult to defend, which is a mistake in itself. If there is a high tide outside, you don't have to do anything, and this city can be flooded." Tan Linsong, a scattered member who was with the hourglass, took off his sticky collar and muttered: "This place cannot be viewed by common sense."
"Yes." Dai Yuefu nodded.
The lessons learned from the sounds in the secret room that made the ghosts under the bed more excited. The closer they got to the city, the more they had a conversation.
"But there is a benefit! If there is only one building blocking the way, our laptop... is here." Huang Bai looked at everyone happily, "Go in and take a look?"
"Well, we have to go in and investigate anyway. We have nothing, so there will be no worse situation. Instead of being struggling outside, it's better to go in directly." Wen Qinghuai covered her white mouth, asking her not to smile and attract hatred when everyone was nervous, and then looked at everyone.
Everyone has experience, so naturally hesitation at this time has no effect. After Sha and Feijing nodded, Wen Qinghuai turned his eyes to the old acquaintance on the back and said, "Zeng Lai, Xun, what do you think?"
Yu Xingzhengsheng leaned on Zhao Mou and chatted with Zeng Lai in a low voice. He was suddenly called, just like the last classmate who was shouted by the teacher to answer the question in class: "...I choose C."
Wen Qinghuai: "...It seems you have no objection."
Zeng Lai waved his hand: "You have explained the truth clearly, just do it."
So, nineteen people muttered in front of the building for a while, and finally decided to enter the interior of this building with unknown attributes.
The building gate is ordinary, just a wooden room door, with some strange paints and graffiti on it, and some notices made of text that are still incomprehensible, just like small advertisements that can be seen everywhere in the early 21st century, and were then banned by the city appearance construction and transferred to the community.
A wind chime was hung on the door. The extraditioner who came forward to take the lead carefully held the wind chime, and then Qu Yanqing turned the door handle with a cold face.
"squeak--"
When the door opened, there was a rust sound, and everyone's backs immediately cooled down and they looked around.
Fortunately, nothing attracted this time, and only the darkness behind the door was greeted.
The extraditioner carefully followed Qu Yanqing's pushing the door and holding the wind chime. Until the door was completely opened, he breathed a sigh of relief with sweat and looked inside the house.
With a faint light, he saw that it seemed to be a hall, decorated beautifully, with a delicate feeling that can make people relax.
But it was still too dark, and I don't know if there was anything hidden in the dark.
Just as I was thinking, a strange sound came from the room, creaking, making people feel sore. Although the sound was not loud, it was very regular and there was a tendency to gradually become louder.
When almost everyone was nervous, a sickly and weak voice came from behind:
"Ah, it's the sound of a rocking chair that is nostalgic." Yu Xingxu looked at the hall where he couldn't see the specific appearance, "I really want to sit."
Zhao Mou suspected that his arms were too wronged Yu Xing, after all, he could not lie down and let Yu Xing be the sofa.
"Ha ha……"
Suddenly, two old laughs came from the darkness of the hall. Then, as if some switch was turned on, the whole hall suddenly lit up.
Several mahogany cabinets are placed against the wall, with rows of blocked red wine on them, which has become the best embellishment of the whole house. There are a whole set of goose yellow sofas and thick and long tables in the center of the hall, and several other tables are scattered on the other side.
There was no fire in the fireplace. The red velvet carpet, which was very expensive, was laid on the floor, with very artistic patterns, and several oil paintings hanging on the walls, landscape pictures, nude women who were not good figures. I don’t know which lady asked the painter to paint for her, and there were also confusing time and space where the content could not be seen.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! These things are very new - just like someone is wiping every day.
But this is not the focus of everyone's attention, because the rocking chair in Yu Xing's mouth is right next to the fireplace, and it still makes a creaking sound as it shakes.
An old woman sat on it.
"The eyes are long and the mouth is long,
"Little Rosie, who bought bread, didn't speak...
"Mr. Carlody drags the cloth bag,
"Throw the body to the rich man's house~"
The old woman looked at them sideways, humming a song that was very dark when she heard it.
From the perspective of the deducer, we can only see the old woman's shrinking height, bloated figure, and silver-white hair.
The old woman was wearing a black skirt, an emerald necklace around her neck, and her small feet were on the bottom of the rocking chair, and her leather shoes were dull.
Her dry hand stretched out from her wide cuffs and rested on the armrest. The folds of the elderly's skin made the hand look a lot shrink. Between the folds, dark spots could be vaguely seen.
There was a small blanket that looked very warm on the handrail, but this did not make the deducers feel warm. The smell of dead people floated in the air... Combined with the tone squeezed out from the old woman's throat, it was extremely creepy.
"Many people..." Finally, the old woman hummed enough songs and focused on the person at the door.
Yu Xing was almost asleep when he heard this and yawned.
At this moment, the old woman seemed to notice that someone disagrees with her and slowly turned her head.
That's a...face.
White, flat.
A face without facial features.
"…!" The extraditioner was shocked first, swallowed his voice in his stomach, complaining that he was so miserable that he was following the chief and vice president to work.
He had to do everything in front and face the faceless old lady. Woooo... He also wanted to be like Zhou Xing's stupid goose, standing behind every time!
"Old lady, have we disturbed you?" Fortunately, his vice president did not make him cry in his heart for too long. Xu Huan, as the Xu family who deals with ghosts the most, should come forward to negotiate with the old woman at this time.
Although his voice does not contain much emotion and his tone is relatively in the underworld, ghosts will not care about these things, after all, they are the virtues themselves.
"No...no..." The faceless old lady looked at them in this direction. She didn't know where the sharp, malicious voice came from. She answered two no in a row, and then laughed softly, "I just like you fresh people... I mean, young people..."
Everyone: "..."
I heard it, what about the fresh people.
Yu Xing felt that although this old lady was talking to Xu Huan, the place where she should have eyes was facing him.
Sure enough, this old lady minds that he doesn’t listen to the songs well!
Xu Huan said: "My grandma, what is this place? We accidentally got lost."
The old lady coughed twice with her smooth face: "Huh... I thought you came here specially... This is a hotel..."
hostel!
Everyone's eyes lit up.
What is a hotel? The hotel is new clothes, hot water, bed!
Although, the old lady's malice was the same as Xu Huan's perfunctory tone, and she didn't hide it at all.
"Look at you... why don't you come in? You're so tired, young people." The old lady didn't walk off her rocking chair, which disappointed Yu Xing, who was coveting the chair, and everyone didn't move for a while. In their minds, they had automatically replaced the young people with "new people".
"If this is a hotel... we want to stay in, but you have also seen that we are all refugees and have no money." Xu Huan said.
Their dresses, as long as they are smart, would not guess other possibilities besides the sea siege. They really have no way to disguise their origins, such as traveler organizations, so Xu Huan did not intend to lie about this matter.
"I know, I know... Come in, come in, come in, I will give you the conditions you can afford." The old lady shook her feet again, and raised her feet. Upon hearing this, everyone entered this "hotel" with doubts on her face.
They have no other choice.
If this is a trap, they can hardly use steel bars to open the door and choose to take a detour and find another way out.
Even so, when everyone walked in, the door behind them closed itself, and a slam sounded and the wind chimes on the door kept ringing, they still sweated coldly, and were alert to the surroundings like hedgehogs.
Yu Xing stopped at the end of the team with Zhao Mou's support. Zhao Mou bit his ears: "The corpse spot is obvious. I don't know if she can't leave the chair..."
"Yes." Yu Xing replied with certainty, knowing that the old lady was "looking at" him, "It must be, I still want to sit down."
Zhao Mou: "...Don't do anything randomly, don't throw this ghost out. This is the first ghost we have ever met who can communicate. It's probably NPC-like. I also need to inquire about information. Don't mess it up for me."
Yu Xing paused suspiciously for a few seconds, then replied depressedly: "Okay."
Carlos sneaked to the two of them and eavesdropped with all his might: "..." What a good guy, Zhao Mou is really the savior of the mirror!
The sand on the other side glanced at them without any trace.
"If we want to live here, what do we have to pay?" After confirming that the old lady can communicate, the person who is responsible for speaking becomes Wen Qinghuai. His qualifications are older than Zhao Mou, and Zhao Mou seems to have to take care of the waste captain, so Wen Qinghuai becomes the person who is the best at balancing in calculating and pleasing. "In addition, what services can this hotel provide? We only saw you, and I don't know if there are any other employees in the hotel, our daily life... You know, we urgently need a place to rest and want to eat. Ah, sorry, I haven't asked what you call me yet?"
After hearing this, the old lady raised her dry hands slowly.
Then, fumble on your body.
She muttered: "Where is my business manual...I have written the answers to these questions in the business manual. Why... it's gone..."
"Well...I'm Daisy, business manual..."
Huang Bai's eyes were sharp-eyed. She squinted her eyes and observed for a while, kindly reminded the faceless old lady, and changed the name to the current era's name: "Mrs. Daisy, the business manual may be sitting under your butt."
For a moment, I didn't know whether this was polite or rude.
Wen Qinghuai took a step forward without hesitation, blocking Huangbai, who would never play according to common sense.
Faceless Dasi was stunned for a moment, stretched her hand under her butt and touched it. Then she raised her small body a little and pulled it out. She pulled out a thick-skinned notebook.
"Yes, thank you here, good girl..." Mrs. Daisy said with uncomfortable procrastination, and every sentence was like a flame that would be extinguished at any time.
Then, she raised her business manual and her voice suddenly became malice: "So, who will take it away?"
It sounds like taking the business manual from her hands would be a very dangerous move.
No one spoke, and everyone's eyes were secretly communicating. In fact, most people were looking forward to Qu Yanqing's initiative to step forward like in a secret room. After seeing her skills, everyone knew that even without sacrifices, her physical fitness was still not as strong as a human.
But Qu Yiqing is not a person who is willing to help others and contributes to the collective.
No one dared to call her, except Yu Xing, the problem is that no one dared to call her.
Grandma Daisy waited for a while, and seemed a little impatient. She sighed, put the manual on her belly, and began to stagger again.
"Just do it, young man." In the eyes of everyone's disagreement, Dasi's finger pointed in one direction. After being eliminated, it was Yu Xing who looked sick.
Yu Xing had expected it.
Tsk, I was staring at him just now, but it was unexpected that I didn’t choose him now.
Qu Yanqing was not afraid of this old lady. Although her current ability may not be enough to deal with ghosts head-on, it did not prevent her from being imposing. She said coldly: "No need, I'll get it."
Dasi's face without facial features finally changed direction, looked at Qu Xianqing, and then smiled in a gloomy smile: "Little girl, you have to learn to be quiet if you don't do what you shouldn't do..."
Qu Yanqing felt nothing, but just felt a slight feeling in his mouth.
Her tongue...
Falling down.
A small piece of soft meat fell on the red velvet carpet, staining the carpet.
Everyone's pupils were trembling, and Sha silently hid behind Xu Huan. Bai Xiaobing was so scared that she covered her mouth. The men either gritted their teeth and refused to let themselves scream because of this shocking scene, or they wandered from beginning to end, causing their hands and feet to get cold.
Zhao Mou held Yu Xing's hand tightened, then pushed his glasses, and his eyes closed with a smile as cold as if Zhao Yijiu was possessed. He let go of his hand and planned to go forward, at least he could bring Qu Xianqing behind.
But before he could move, Yu Xing pressed him to the spot.
Of course, Zhao Mou would not think that Yu Xing would swallow his anger. Yu Xing's concern for Qu Xianqing was definitely the most deeply rooted. He turned his head and met Yu Xing's gloomy gaze.
Has murderous intent.
Zhao Mou thought that it would be impossible for Yu Xing to still decide to throw this ghost thing out.
Unfortunately, they are too weak now, otherwise it would be better to cut off the faceless ghost's skin and throw it away. If it causes trouble - this is almost certain, he is there too.
Isn’t his duty to properly solve the trouble caused by the captain and the team members?
Seeing this scene, the most calm thing was probably Qu Yanqing herself. She glanced at her tongue on the ground without emotion and turned to stare at Dasi.
It doesn't hurt anyway.
Moreover, as long as Yu Xing or Carlos, or Zhao Yijiu who doesn't know when she will come back, she can recover her body and grow a new tongue.
not to mention……
"I can't learn it unless I die. Then, do you have the right to kill me now?" Qu Yanqing, who had no tongue, continued to speak in the terrifying eyes of everyone. No one knew how she could still speak - who was more terrifying, Damn it!
Grandma Daisy was obviously surprised, and she patted her heart with her little hand and blamed her: "Why are you so scary, little girl..."
"You can get it, then..."
She compromised. Just as Qu Xianqing was about to step forward, she found Yu Xing dragging his steps forward.
Grandma Daisy immediately turned her attention back to Yu Xing, and she didn't know why she was so interested in Yu Xing. This was definitely not something that could be triggered by a yawn.
"I want to get the manual so much, ha?" Yu Xing's tone was obviously wrong. His pale face and slightly dark black hair suddenly showed strange aggression. Soon, Yu Xing came to Dasi's grandmother-in-law, very close to her, and could take the manual with just reaching out.
But he didn't stop, and walked closer, until the corner of his clothes touched the rocking chair. He reached out and pressed it, and stopped the rocking chair.
At this angle, Yu Xing lowered his head, but Dasi had to do his best to raise his face to "look at him".
"This is your choice, dear Dasi, Grandma Daisy." Yu Xing's dark pupils reflected his face without facial features. He bit the three words of dear very seriously, but everyone with ears felt that they heard the three words "You are going to die".
"Yes, young man." Grandma Daisy patted the manual on her belly. As a ghost, she was not scared by a mere human being. Whether this person was mentally ill or a lunatic, it was the same for her. She had the same joy of collecting money, "Just here, take it."
Yu Xing turned his back to everyone, and a sick smile appeared on his face.
