The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 216
It's just that they couldn't get in when they arrived at the hotel. There was no other reason. They were stopped by the little girl at the front desk.

"Why didn't you let us in?" Hong Yuan had never been a sympathetic master, so she didn't have a good look at the receptionist who stopped them from going upstairs, even if the receptionist was a cute little girl.

"We have regulations. Visitors must register." The little girl at the front desk was obviously afraid of Hong Yuan, she said tremblingly.

"Registration? Okay! Let's register!" Seeing this, Hong Yuan sneered, tapped the counter at the front desk with her neatly manicured nails and said, "Take out the paper and pens you want to register, and I will register!"

"I...I..." Obviously frightened by Hong Yuan's aura, the little girl couldn't even speak now.

"Don't you, me! Hurry up!" Hong Yuan clicked impatiently, "If you can't be the master, let your family be the master!"

"Okay...Okay!" Upon hearing her words, the little girl immediately nodded her head and said, "I...I'll call now and ask our manager to come out."

As she spoke, she dialed the internal number, and after three rings, the call was picked up.

"Jing... Manager..." Before the other side could speak, the little girl here began to cry: "There are... there are big... big guests who want to go to the sixth floor, you..."

"Go to the sixth floor!? Who!?" As soon as the other end of the phone heard that someone was planning to go to the sixth floor, the voice immediately changed.

"Me!" Before the little girl could answer, a white hand emerged from the horizontal direction and pressed it on the speakerphone, and then the owner of the hand said slowly, "I want to go to the sixth floor, why? Your hotel is open Still not letting people live in?"

This person is none other than Yuan Mu.

His voice was not loud, and his tone was unhurried, but for some reason, the little girl looked at him and didn't even dare to move.

After a while, cold sweat ran down her cheeks.Yuan Mu raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, smiled at her lightly, then looked down at the phone and said, "How is it? Front desk manager, I'm already here, why don't you come out and see me?"

"..." Hearing this sentence over there, the other end of the phone had been silent for a long time, and then there was a sudden sound of rapid breathing.

"What? Afraid I'll eat you?" Yuan Mu comforted him with a light smile when he heard his breathing, "Don't worry, I won't eat you."

After Yuan Mu finished speaking, after a while, a hoarse voice came from the other side: "You... just wait a moment, I will come right away."

It didn't take long at once, but within 3 minutes, a fat man in a hotel uniform walked over from not far away. The little girl at the front desk calmed down the moment she saw him, and she no longer looked panicked like before. Seeing him like this, Hong Yuan raised her eyebrows, as if a little surprised, but said nothing.

"You... are you?" Yuan Mu spoke just as Fatty walked in front of several people. He looked at this person who had never appeared in front of him before, a little surprised.

There are many Taoist sects in the magic capital, but a place that provides services to Taoist sects like this can basically be regarded as an errand. Using the analogy of ordinary people, it is almost a civil servant, because it is a permanent person, so Even if the Daoist sect never informed them, Yuan Mu and a few others, who are great monsters, would find out the origin and identity of these people.

And because Daomen is actually a place that pays great attention to family status and seniority, and their life span is very long, so there are very few personnel changes.Just because there are few, every change is extraordinarily noticeable.

But, when did the supervisor here change! ?

As if sensing Yuan Mu's distrustful eyes, the fat man immediately introduced himself and said, "Hi, I'm the guest room manager here."

"When did you come?" Yuan Mu was not polite, and asked directly, "Why have I never seen you?"

"My status is low, so it's normal that I can't get into your eyes." The man smiled, glanced at everyone and said, "How can a small person like me alarm all the masters!"

"Okay, we don't worry about when you came here. The current situation is like this. We want to go to the sixth floor. Will you let me?" Instead of watching them wrangling and complimenting each other here, she prefers a straightforward approach, especially when there is not much time to delay.

When she came in, Yuan Mu had already explained that when necessary, Hong Yuan was in charge of singing the white face. Her task was to keep stabbing the people here until they couldn't bear the pressure to say something, or until they reached a certain point. human purpose.

"The sixth floor...?" Hearing her words, the fat man froze for a moment and said, "This... the sixth floor is not very good, right?"

"What's wrong? Can't live there?" Hong Yuan asked with a sneer, "Or do you think we can't afford your room?"

"No, no, no!" Hearing what she said, the fat man shook his head and explained: "No, no, you misunderstood! But you also know that we have rules here. A distinguished guest like you can only stay in the Among the floors above the sixteenth floor, the floors below are reserved for mortals."

"For mortals?" Yuan Mu repeated his words, and said with a smile: "Then what if we don't stay here and just take a look?"

"Since it's a floor for mortals, there are no precious treasures, so you won't worry about us stealing things from mortals, right?" Yuan Mu said while taking a few steps forward and said: " Or, do you... or do you hide something strange on the sixth floor that we don't want us to see?"

"Where is that, you are joking." The manager wiped the sweat from his brow with his hand and said, "It's just that the rules are here, and I can't make the decision alone!"

"Pfft... are you kidding me?" Who knew Hong Yuan's disdainful laughter answered him. She glanced around the hotel lobby and said, "We shouldn't have come in this place. If we want to talk about the rules, we now The rules have already been broken, but to be honest, I don’t always come here if you usually invite me to this poor place. Why? I don’t have any other ideas, I just want to go to the sixth floor to have a look, what can I do?”

Before the fat man had time to answer, Hong Yuan said again: "Anyway, I'm leaving here today. It's best if you agree. If you don't agree with us breaking in, you have to go to the sixth floor to see. You want us to demolish this place? Or should we leave after reading it, it's your choice."

"..." The fat man looked at Hong Yuan who said "whatever, I'm going to the sixth floor", and then at Yuan Mu who was smiling all the time, sighed in his heart, gritted his teeth and said yes The man said: "Since everyone thinks highly of our dilapidated place, if you insist on going to see the sixth floor, I will take you to see it."

"Then I will trouble you." Seeing that he agreed, Yuan Mu smiled even more happily.

"It's just that I want to say it first." After seeing Yuan Mu's smile, the fat man shuddered for some reason. He mustered up the courage to look at the big monsters who came to him, and swallowed. The saliva said: "Everyone also knows that the target customers of our small place have never been like you, especially floors like the sixth floor, so please don't do anything after you go up, so as not to hurt your friendship."

The fat man's request seemed reasonable, but in fact, he was asking a few people to make an oath of "guaranteed not to do anything in the hotel", which may not be clear to others.

But the demons of them are very aware of the power of words. In this hotel that is oriented towards Taoist experience, if there is no conflict between the guests from the beginning to the present, they will not believe it.

Taoism, in a sense, is the same as the demon world, a place where the strong speak with power for respect.The weak have never had the right to speak, but a person's luck is the strangest thing in the world, so since ancient times, there have never been no shortage of counterattacks by the weak.

What do you do when you meet someone who bullied you when you were weak and who is much weaker than you now?
Some people may choose to laugh it off and not care about it, but the vast majority of people in this world do not have such generosity and tolerance.

As long as they find an opportunity, they will retaliate fiercely. Therefore, in the eyes of ascetics, as long as there is a conflict between the two, the safest way is to kill each other if possible.

Because only in this way can future troubles be avoided, which is why Taoism has not developed after so many years from the initial three-clan war to the present, and with such a prosperous reserve savings—mortals.

Then, the world is so big, where can I meet people who have bullied me?There is no doubt that this is the place where these monks often get together, so in order to prevent the monks from fighting, generally such places will set rules and resolutely not do anything in the store.

This rule may come from their respective oaths, or from some magical weapon of suppression.

But no matter what, Yuan Mu has never heard of the fact that two people fought and demolished the rest point in the resting place facing the ascetics.Especially this kind of resting point shared with mortals.

Yuan Mu remembered that Chi Dun and the others hadn't told him about the oath when they came out, and it was fine with others. With Dai Xia's prudence and cleverness, if there was such an unusual thing, he would never forget to tell himself.

So, there should be a magic weapon in this hotel.It's just that their identities are special, they are not members of the Taoist sect, or even human beings, so there is no way to restrain them with utensils, so they need to use their words to restrain their behavior.

Thinking of this, Yuan Mu smiled at the fat man, and said, "You're kind, as long as you don't go too far, how can we go too far? Well, having said so much, how long do you want us to wait?"

Yuan Mu's move of retreating into advance is very beautiful. Originally, it was tacit understanding to restrain a few people with words, but as long as the big monsters decide to pretend to be stupid, this person has nothing to do with them, and Yuan Mu only needs to If they can save Yang Yang and the others, they don't mind cheating.
