Mysterious country

Hu Xiao's head kept hitting the ground hard, which made him scream in pain, but it still couldn't stop his seemingly constant self-harm.

His forehead was completely split, and more and more blood seeped out from Hu Xiao's injury, blurring his extremely painful face.

The wound got bigger and bigger, until his forehead was completely sunken, and he finally stopped moving. Of course, he was no longer breathing.

Xia Qi and Leng Yue didn't know what was happening at Hu Xiao's side, but it still didn't bring them peace.

When the two people hurriedly came down from upstairs, the first floor, where there were many guests just now, was completely dark and lifeless.

The door of the hotel was tightly closed, and although the tables and chairs were intact below, everyone including the waiters was missing.

Not only that, even the tourists outside seemed to have left early, and no sound was heard anymore.

"Things don't look good."

Xia Xia Qi sighed and already noticed that the situation was unusual.

"Let's go down."

Leng Yue didn't say anything more. At this time, she took the lead to go down to the first floor, and then quickly walked to the door.

He tried pushing, but the door didn't move at all. Xia Tianqi followed up behind him and kicked him hard, which made the soles of his feet numb.

"It seems there is no way out. This door is as solid as a wall."

Xia Qi's words faded, and a frightened cry suddenly came from the kitchen.

Both of them were startled, and then they quickly rushed into the kitchen in unison.

The kitchen is very large, and there is a small door at the end. I don't know if it is a small room for the service staff to rest in the back, or another way to leave.

Compared with the guest rooms upstairs that still need to be illuminated by kerosene lamps, the kitchen is lit by two frequently flashing electric lights. At this moment, it seems that the power supply pressure is insufficient, and the electric lights are too dim to light a candle.

What will happen next, neither of them can guess, so Xia Qi is not afraid of waste. He directly takes out a bottle of speed-boosting potion from his pocket, pulls out the cap and drinks it with his head tilted back.

"Hurry up and drink a bottle too, just to be prepared."

Leng Yue didn't know whether she didn't want to waste it or felt that she should drink other auxiliary potions at this time, so she shook her head and made no move.

Xia Tian Qi couldn't guess what Leng Yue was thinking, so he stopped talking and walked along the path separated by two long tables towards the small door at the end.

However, before he had gone a few steps, he saw a man crawling out from under the long table.

Xia Qi recognized this person, it was the short-haired waiter who took them upstairs before.

"What just happened?"

Seeing that the waiter was still alive, Xia Qi hurriedly knelt down and asked her.

The waiter seemed to be very frightened. When he saw Xia Qi, he immediately let out another scream, then pointed at Xia Qi tremblingly and shouted:

"Ghost...there is a ghost!!!"

After the waiter finished speaking, he retracted his head desperately, and then hid under the long table again.

Xia Qi didn't know what the waiter meant, whether he thought he was a ghost, or whether the ghost was still in the kitchen.

"Speak clearly to me!"

Xia Tian Qi also lay down and wanted to pull the waitress out from underneath. When he lay down and looked down, he suddenly jumped up in fright.

"I'm so screwed!"

Under the long table, there was not only that one waiter, but also the waiter who collected the money at that time, but compared to the former, the latter had been chopped into minced meat.

And the waiter who just hid again was grabbing the corpse mud and stuffing it into his mouth.

"Leng Shen, I'm afraid that ghost has the ability to control people, or it can create illusions."

Xia Qi didn't know whether the waiter was hacked to death with a kitchen knife or killed by a ghost, but looking at the waiter's perverted look, he knew he must have been controlled.

Leng Yue also squatted down at this time and looked under the long table.

But when he looked over again, the waiter had already choked to death because his esophagus was blocked due to swallowing too much corpse mud.

These two people were the only two service staff they saw in the hotel. As for the chef, they did not see anyone.

"We need to get out of here quickly!"

Xia Qi and Leng Yue both knew that they couldn't stay here for long, so they stopped waiting and walked towards the small door at the end of the kitchen again.

Pushing the small door suddenly open, a disgustingly rich smell of blood hit his nostrils.

The area inside is less than 20 square meters, and it looks like sausages are being dried in the sun. There are no less than 20 dead bodies hanging there.

There were men and women among them, and everyone was as skinny as firewood, like mummies who had been dead in the desert for who knows how long.

But looking at the blood that has not yet dried on the ground, it is obvious that they were killed not long ago. There are many sharp weapons on the ground. Looking at the various wounds on the corpses, it seems that they were hacked to death by each other while losing their minds.

"They are all tourists who just had dinner downstairs."

People who come here to play are either families of three or couples in love. After all, not many men would come to a place like this and choose to spend money in such a black shop.

So at the moment, they have not overturned their previous suspicions about the ghost's choice of killing, but no matter what, they can't expect an evil ghost to let the two of them leave safely.

The dead bodies hanging above suddenly began to move automatically without wind. At this time, the eyes of all the corpses opened simultaneously, dripping with lines of red blood.

Xia Qi's scalp went numb after seeing it, and he closed the door to the room directly, his eyes rolling as he thought about what to do next.

They couldn't get out, and the people who had been down there were all dead. They might have no choice but to escape upstairs and see if they could escape through the window.

"Let's go back and take a look."

The two of them ran upstairs nervously, one behind the other. When they came up, the dead corridor seemed to be swallowed by a huge mouth of darkness, completely out of sight.

Not daring to stop, Xia Xia Qi pushed open the door, and then ran to the window with Leng Yue.

The window was still open as before they left, but looking outside through the window, the scene outside seemed to have changed.

The streets illuminated by neon lights disappeared, replaced by a desolation like an ancient deep palace.

Not even a single person could be seen on the street.

"Illusion?"

Xia Xia Qi looked at Leng Yue uncertainly, and Leng Yue only took out a bottle of magic potion and drank it, and then looked out the window again.

The scene that caught his eye did not change at all. It was still dead silent. After a few seconds of silence, Leng Yue said slowly:

"Either the magic potion that ignores illusions is invalid, or everything outside is real."
