Led by Wang Teddy and Qi Ning, the four walked to the only hotel in the town.

The hotel was as dilapidated as the rest of the town. The old neon signboards were completely faded, and there was a thick layer of dust on them. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell what was written on them.

Entering the hotel, it was dark inside.

The wattage of the electric lights is very low, and many of them have already gone on strike. The ground is covered with dust, and there is no cleaning staff at all.

There is also an exclusive smell of old houses in the air, and the overall atmosphere makes people feel very uncomfortable.

The telephone in the hotel is still very old rotary dial type.

In view of the information I read before and the closedness of the town's information, it doesn't seem like there is any contact with the outside world at all. Xiao Lan suspects that this call may not be made at all.

Xiao Lan and the others were about to go upstairs when a very rude voice came from beside them.

"Hey, you strangers, come and register." The voice sounded very rude and unserviceable.

They looked towards the source of the sound and found that it was coming from the dark front desk.

There was a fat old man sitting in the front desk of the hotel.

His hair was thinning, his face was freckled, and like everyone else in town, he was handicapped.

One of the old man's eyes was gouged out, leaving only an empty hole, and his left hand was also twisted, with the palm bent in a strange direction.

"This man is the owner of the hotel." Wang Teddy explained softly to Xiao Lan and Luo.

The hotel owner stared at them with eyes similar to those of other people in the town, as if he could pounce on them and bite them at any time.

It seems that even the people who open the door to do business in the small town of Mona are still unfriendly to outsiders.

He patted the table heavily: "Registration! Every foreigner must register! The two newcomers, you are no exception."

Luo stepped forward and began to register the two of them.

This registration is very perfunctory, just write who you are and what you are here for, you can make it up yourself.

So Luo also went along with the flow and showed off his nonsense skills.

When registering in Luo, Xiao Lan took the opportunity to ask: "Do all the foreign tourists live here?"

The boss glanced at him: "Hmph, it's all here. My site is full of the stench you brought. You don't have any sign of faith on your body. Why can Sarah always pay attention to you hypocritical strangers?" .”

Xiao Lan caught the key word: "A sign of faith?"

The boss pointed to his empty eye sockets: "This is a gift for Sarah."

He pointed to his twisted arm again: "This is a symbol of pious belief. But you strangers, who say they yearn for Sarah, but always do nothing, a group of liars full of lies."

Xiao Lan asked, "Do all foreigners come to look for Sarah?"

The boss's complexion was distorted: "Hehe, who knows what purpose you foreigners have."

Xiao Lan wanted to ask again, but the boss interrupted him roughly: "Go away, don't try to get news about Sarah from me! Sarah will not accept you! He will only integrate with us! !!"

Xiao Lan frowned slightly.

It seems that the reason people here reject outsiders is because they are afraid that they will compete for Sarah's attention?

Why does it feel like there is a subtle atmosphere of competition for favor?

In fact, he didn't want to merge with this unknown thing at all.

You worry too much.

At this time, Luo finished the registration information and interrupted the boss.

The boss took what Luo wrote, and after reading it for a long time, he couldn't understand what it meant to be "a journey of spiritual salvation in search of artistic inspiration" and "people always have to strive for lofty ideals".

The boss scratched his sparse head, but he didn't want to show his ignorance in front of foreigners.

He didn't ask too much, put away the register and said: "Okay, you can get out, don't bother me if you have nothing to do. The hotel will provide you with food and beverages, and they will be delivered directly to the door of your room."

Xiao Lan asked, "What is the delivery time?"

The boss's tone was irritated: "When will it be ready and when will it be eaten for you, and there is no restaurant here for you to enjoy. We don't like to gather like you foreigners."

-

The four came upstairs.

The corridor was full of closed doors, and no movement came out of them.

Qi Ning and Wang Taidi booked a room for Xiao Lan, and they each have a room. The rooms of several people are connected together, so it is very easy to support each other if something happens.

Xiao Lan and Luo walked into their room.

The room is still dilapidated, making people feel no expectation, and the street view next to it can be seen clearly through the cracks in the wall.

On one side of the wall is drawn a totem in the shape of an eye, which seems to be looking into the room, and next to it is written "Here is watched by Sarah".

Xiao Lan looked into that eye: "It's really uncomfortable."

Luo approached the totem on the wall, reached out and touched it: "I didn't feel the energy fluctuations, it's just an ordinary graffiti, if you feel uncomfortable, I can change this pattern."

Xiao Lan looked at her boyfriend's smiling face.

Thinking about it again, he has a bold and unrestrained painting style in his roughness and boldness.

If you look at Luo's painting as soon as you open your eyes, it's better to look at this thing. Anyway, it has hot eyes, and this thing can at least tell what the painting is about.

Xiao Lan shook her head: "No need."

He stepped forward and pulled a cabinet with his bare hands to block the totem.

Luo sighed a little regretfully, when will Mr. appreciate his art.

Suddenly, their eyes turned to the window at the same time.

At this time, the sky was already a little dark, but the surrounding mountain fires still illuminated the sky fiery red.

Against this background, a head hangs from the window of their room, looking at them with a malicious smile.

Sensing the gaze of the two, the spying head was not in a hurry.

He made a mouth shape towards the two: Hehe... Stranger...

Then try to go up and away.

Xiao Lan rushed to the window in one step, just in time to see a long neck connected to the back of this head.

The neck is protruding from the building next to it, and it is growing on a body. Judging from the clothes on the body, this should also be a resident of a small town.

The person over there retracted his neck, twisted his head, and walked towards the house humming a weird song.

He doesn't seem to be worried about the beatings of people in society at all, or to him, monitoring these foreigners is the most important thing.

Luo moved his fingers: "Do you want to dispose of it? Sir."

Xiao Lan shook her head: "Their surveillance seems to be everywhere, and it doesn't make much sense to deal with one or two. Moreover, judging by the mental state of the residents in the town, I suspect that if we make any movement, they will directly attack us , it is better not to stimulate them for the time being."

Of course, that's another story when it's time to stimulate.

Xiao Lan frowned slightly: "But...they really don't look like human beings anymore. Maybe after staying here for a long time, we may become like this too."

Luo said: "Those who are qualified to enter here are top-level players. According to your physique, the speed of change should be very slow."

Xiao Lan nodded, temporarily suppressing the uneasiness in her heart.

Wang Ke is one of the most powerful group of advanced players, and he is also a close combat player with a strong physique. Although he is restrained due to his skills, he should not be assimilated so easily.

Before actually seeing him, it's better not to guess too much.

This just adds to the annoyance.

-

After that, several people came to Wang Teddy's room to discuss the future.

So far they haven't found the main line of Sarah's Song, and the game prompts are also very vague. It is not an easy task to find Wang Ke's trace.

Xiao Lan compared the information in the hands of the next few people: "The news in our hands is similar, and it doesn't point to any exact location. Where is Teddy?"

Wang Teddy shook his head: "Brother Tao couldn't tell where my brother disappeared because of his unstable mental condition. I tried many times, but he couldn't give a complete description. I can only know that there are many monsters there. And I Suspected that my brother might not have stayed in the place where he was attacked."

It seems that they still have to find clues by themselves.

Wang Teddy said: "Since Brother Tao mentioned the altar before, why don't we go find news about this altar first, find the [Stone of Forgiveness] first, and leave a way out for ourselves."

Qi Ning turned to Wang Teddy: "I'm surprised that you are so calm."

Wang Teddy smiled self-deprecatingly: "It was only later that I realized that emotions will not bring any help. The calmer I am, the closer I will be to my goal."

He is the one who is most eager to find Wang Ke among the few people, and he has even suppressed such emotions for a long time.

But Wang Teddy is also very clear that the more critical it is, the less he can make mistakes.

He didn't hope that in the end, he would be the one who caused all his efforts to fail.

At this time, there was a "bang" sound from outside the door.

After that, a man shouted, and the contents of the shouts were all incoherent gibberish, which made it difficult to understand the content.

Several people looked at each other and opened the door.

In the hallway, a closed room door opened.

A man with a full face of beard stepped out of the door and was rolling on the ground.

He didn't dislike the dirt on the floor at all, and rolled while crying.The original color of his clothes can no longer be seen clearly. It is not known whether it has not been washed for a long time, or it is caused by rolling too much.

But this man does not have any disabilities, and he does not see the same physical alienation as other residents of the town.

Following the man's movements, Xiao Lan could clearly see the reason for his rolling.

A knife pierced his thigh, and the wound was bleeding out, and it looked like it was pierced deeply.

But the man's reaction was very strange. He looked at his wound, his hands trembling, as if he wanted to pull out the knife, and he seemed to want to stab it deeper.

"Heh...heh...Sara...will see my piety..." He stopped rolling and reached out to grab the handle of the knife.

But he seemed very hesitant again, his arms were shaking more and more violently, but he couldn't continue the next movement.

It seemed that such hesitation made him feel very ashamed, and the man suddenly covered his face and burst into tears: "Ugh... ah ah... woo woo woo..."

The howling sound echoed in the corridor, a little harsh, and the people who heard it were very upset.

But the other rooms in the corridor were still quiet, except for Xiao Lan and the others, no one was interested in taking a look.

The man cried for a while, and then tried to reach out and continue to take the knife.

His movements were repeated over and over again, and his emotions were sometimes suppressed and sometimes elevated with the movements, looking crazy.

Like a psycho.

But this person was the most different person they saw after they entered the town.

He doesn't seem to be as fanatical about Sarah as others. At least he will hesitate when he self-harms, and he doesn't have the obsession and excitement like others.

Xiao Lan tried to talk to him: "Hello..."

The man didn't respond to his words, just immersed in his own world, crying and laughing.

But in the end he still didn't continue to stab the knife.

When he was finally tired from crying, he moved his body and crawled back to his room, dragging bloodstains little by little.

During the whole process, he didn't give any eyes to the few people watching, as if they were all pillars of the wall.

"Father won't talk to you." At this time, Ruan Nuo's childish voice sounded without any ups and downs.

A pale little girl stepped out of the shadows behind the door.

She looked normal, with intact limbs, no disabilities, and no alienated parts, and even her mental state was better than that of the man just now.

Xiao Lan asked, "Why do you say that?"

The little girl said: "Papa only has Sarah in his eyes, and he came after Sarah's singing."

Xiao Lan looked at her: "Pursuing? Are you from another place?"

The little girl was still expressionless: "We lived in another town before, one day my father said that he heard Sarah's singing, and he wanted to chase the most beautiful singing in the world, so he brought me here, but what did I say? Can't hear it either."

Xiao Lan confirmed again: "All the people living here are foreigners?"

The girl nodded.

"Daddy thinks about Sarah all day long, and doesn't play with me. He is more and more like the people in this town." The girl's tone was a little cold, "He will become crazy sooner or later."

Xiao Lan met the little girl's gloomy eyes: "Don't you want to leave here?"

The girl shook her head: "Daddy will never leave."

Xiao Lan suddenly pointed to Wang Teddy and asked, "Have you seen another brother who looks a bit like this brother? He has short hair."

The little girl looked carefully at Wang Teddy, and then nodded in the other's nervous eyes.

Wang Teddy hurriedly asked: "Then do you know where he went?"

The little girl pointed to the room of Xiao Lan and the others, and said softly: "The strangers who live in these rooms of yours will disappear, and so will he."

After speaking, the little girl stretched out her hand and closed the door.

Several people stood in the corridor and fell into a brief silence.

After a while, Xiao Lan said: "She should mean that the players who enter will be arranged in these rooms. No matter whether they succeed in the contract or fail in the end, they will naturally not live here again."

"Yeah." Wang Teddy nodded, he smiled to enliven the atmosphere, "At least it means we're not in the wrong place."

At this time, the heavy figure of the hotel owner appeared in the corridor.

He carried a basket and threw the lunch boxes in his hand rudely at the door of different rooms, which were obviously occupied by people.

While walking, the boss cursed and expressed his dissatisfaction with these foreigners.

When he saw Xiao Lan and the others standing in the corridor, his face sank even more.

He directly threw four lunch boxes at the feet of several people: "Hmph, restless strangers, what are you planning?"

Without waiting for a few people to answer, he walked away without stopping.

It's like staying with them for a moment will be polluted: "One look at you and I know that you are the most restless kind...the more restless, the faster you die..."

When the boss disappeared at the other end of the corridor, Wang Teddy reached out and picked up a lunch box, opened it and looked at it.

"..." He fell into a strange silence.

Qi Ning next to him also took a look: "..."

Attracted by their reactions, Xiao Lan leaned over and took a look: "..."

Seeing that Xiao Lan, who was proud of the dark culinary world, was silent, Luo couldn't help but look over: "..."

The language systems of the four fell into a short-term stagnation.

Because the things in this box have surpassed the category of dark cuisine to be honest.

Dark cuisine is still cuisine after all, but what are these things?

Dried rats, mushy eyes of unknown creatures, and sashimi of toads with their skins on, accompanied by a side dish of russet mushy beans.

Wang Teddy, who was face to face with Toad, had a look of lovelessness: "...isn't this too exciting?"

Qi Ning laughed lowly: "Hehe, I really want to dissect their biological structure..."

Xiao Lan asked a tricky question: "Will they not be constipated if they eat like this?"

Wang Teddy closed the devil's box and suggested: "Let's go to the kitchen and do it ourselves. Although it's okay to not eat for a few days, but the game has just begun, so there's no need to treat yourself like this."

Xiao Lan nodded: "Okay, luckily I can cook."

Luo looked at her husband in disbelief, where did this confidence come from? !

Wang Teddy's eyes turned to panic, and he said hastily: "No, no, no... that... Let me do it, and let you see the results of my practice during this period."

The fear of being dominated by Xiao Lan's cooking skills once again surfaced in his heart, and he didn't want to relive the experience of jumping up and down in hell at all.

Qi Ning, who had never been murdered by Xiao Lan, turned to Wang Teddy for no reason——

Why are his eyes full of desire to survive?
