☆, Shadow of Fascination - First Arrival Inn

Little by little, he untied the bandage wrapped around his palm, and a wound spanning the entire palm was exposed to the air, and the wound that hadn't completely healed still had red blood streaks oozing out from time to time.Shen Hao tried to shake hands, but couldn't help twitching between his brows. He didn't expect that after so many days, the wound still hurt a little.

The off-white cotton gauze wrapped around the palm little by little, overlapping to form a clean and neat pattern, and finally tightened with a little force on both ends, around the back of the hand, and finally tied into a bowknot by a pair of small hands.

Shen Hao couldn't help frowning, and looked at the little loli who was sitting opposite and was seriously wrapping the bandage.Well, I'm afraid Yuzu can't be called a little loli, after all, she is also a monster with an age of at least three digits... ah...

Counting it, it has been a week since I met Yuzu.If these wounds and pains were not so real, Shen Hao might have thought that all this was just a dream, and he would wake up one day.

a week ago.

It was an ordinary Friday, at least during the day, everything was as usual.In that evening, the setting sun illuminated the clouds in the sky, and the warm yellow light reflected the fire clouds covering half of the sky, so bright that people couldn't help but want to get closer.

At the moment when day and night alternate, when light and shadow overlap, at this so-called magic moment, Shen Hao saw that alley, exuding a bewitching smell, luring lost travelers, at the convenience store he often went to. Next to it, he can be sure that there is no such an alley here.As if there was an invisible force disrupting the original trajectory of fate, Shen Hao stepped into this alley by accident.

Not knowing what to look for, Shen Hao was dragged forward inexplicably in this way. The too narrow streets and alleys had already collapsed, and the houses that were clustered on both sides of the streets and alleys were left with only ruins. There are still many stones, bricks and tiles covering the road, and the originally narrow streets and alleys have become more crowded, which is not enough for a car to pass through.

There are towering residual walls on both sides, which block the sunlight and even the light outside. As the sun sets, the vision becomes more blurred due to the disappearance of the light.When the light is suppressed infinitely, the shadows are clamoring unscrupulously in the darkness. These black shadows with fangs and claws surround Shen Hao, approaching, approaching...

"Huh—huh—" The sound of the wind blowing was infinitely amplified in the silent environment, but the arm that was on the outside did not feel the wind at all.The air is frozen, oppressive and suffocating, people can't feel its flow at all, maybe those sounds don't belong to the wind either.

Shen Hao wasn't sure whether he should keep going or go back the same way, but he soon found that the multiple choice question had lost its meaning.The way I came here has long been lost in the darkness, as if it never existed.The surrounding high walls have long been engulfed by darkness, and the narrow streets and alleys have become empty, losing their boundaries, but bringing more unknown fears.

Shen Hao finally decided to go forward, he felt that there was something waiting for him in front of him, this feeling was very subtle, he didn't know how to describe it, and he didn't know whether to believe this feeling or not.

Go straight along the road under your feet, and there is a black unknown ahead, as if there is a wild beast hiding in the endless darkness, ready to pounce on you at any time and bite the throat of the future.

What he didn't know was that the black shadow behind him gathered little by little like substance, weaving into an invisible net and devouring the few lights.Finally, it turned into black tentacles, lingering along the ground and the invisible high walls on both sides, like a huge sea anemone, closing and letting go, countless black tentacles stretched their teeth and claws in the air, treacherous and dangerous.It is quietly waiting for an opportunity to drag Shen Hao into a doomsday...

Going forward, Shen Hao saw two white lanterns appearing in the darkness in front of him. The blue light was faintly shining in the darkness, hanging there quietly, like the eyes of a giant beast, high above the sky. Looking down at the darkness, the majesty cannot be desecrated.

Those black tentacles behind Shen Hao seemed to feel the threat, wriggling uneasily, twisting their body anxiously, getting closer to Shen Hao time and time again, but in the end they retreated helplessly, hiding in the boundless darkness again middle.

Shen Hao walked towards the direction of the lantern, he couldn't see anything except those two clusters of blue flames.I don't know how long he walked until an old house blocked his way.

Shen Hao didn't expect that the end of this alley turned out to be such an old house, he raised his head and looked above him, there was a plaque with some age hanging there. The four chiseled handwritings of "Daylight Inn" were engraved on the old plaque, and there was a lingering killing spirit between the lines. The moment I stood in front of it, it seemed as if I could hear the sound of swords meeting.

Looking down from the pillars on both sides, a pair of red lanterns hung high, illuminating a small area in front of the gate. The lanterns swayed slightly with the flow of air, and the fire inside was also swaying constantly. The bright and extinguishing distorted the original light and shadow, and there were a few more ghostly shadows.

Shen Hao remembered that the pair of lanterns he saw before were white, with blue light, even if it might be his own illusion, but it is not so clear that red and green are not clear, I remember there seems to be a saying, The colors of the lanterns used in the Yin and Yang realms are different... Shen Hao couldn't help but shook his head, suppressing these thoughts to the bottom of his heart, comforting himself that he must have misread it because of the distance.

The vermilion paint on the tall wooden door has peeled off a lot, revealing the original color of the wood inside. The wood has gradually turned yellow with the washing of the years, and blended into the surrounding gray environment, but it can still be seen from the inn. Guess the original glamorous appearance from the outline.

Although he was a little doubtful and uneasy, Shen Hao still mustered up the courage to step forward and knock on the heavy door knocker. The door knocker made of bronze had a sense of precipitation in his hand, and the smooth metal passed through the palm of his hand. Come to the cool touch.

The dull sound brought by the impact of the door knocker and the wooden door echoed in the empty alley, breaking the tranquility of the surroundings. It was strange and heavy, and one couldn't help but feel a chill in the back.Shen Hao felt that what he was looking for was behind this door, but he didn't know what it was...

"Squeak——" The sound of the door opening was harsh, piercing the long and frightening silence. If it was later, Shen Hao might think it was an empty house, or a legendary haunted house.Shen Hao stared at the wooden door so tightly that he even forgot to breathe.

The door was only opened with a small gap, and Shen Hao could see the scene behind the door through the gap. Withered and yellow weeds covered the gaps in the stone road inside the door, it was a completely dilapidated scene that had been in disrepair for a long time. Will the courtyard leading through the screen wall be more desolate?The screen wall that blocked the view was already covered with tiny cracks, and maybe it would collapse into ruins with a light touch. The erosion of the years made it impossible for Shen Hao to guess what the pattern on the screen wall expressed, and it should be some rich and auspicious. Good meaning.

Suddenly a small head poked out from the crack of the door. It was a little girl with buns. She didn't look very old, only about ten years old. She looked at Shen Hao with a pair of big eyes, but Shen Hao had a feeling The feeling that something was looking at him through these amber eyes made him shudder.

"That...excuse me, what is this place?" Shen Hao asked in a low voice, his voice was a little hoarse due to nervousness.

He didn't know why he asked such a question, it seemed that he couldn't control himself and asked such a question, and he couldn't turn around and run away, so he could only stand motionless, this discovery made him unable to bear it from the bottom of his heart There is more fear.

"This is the Mingyao Inn." The little girl said softly, she tilted her head slightly, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. She was obviously very cute, but she revealed weirdness everywhere.The little girl didn't say anything else, she just backed away from the crack of the door, stretched out her hand as if to invite in, lowered her head slightly, her amber eyes were covered by long eyelashes.

Shen Hao looked at the door in front of him, hesitating slightly, since just now he had the feeling of being spied on, there must be something hiding nearby looking at him.He didn't know whether what was waiting for him behind the door was what he was looking for, or if it was just a scary trap.There are too many weird places in this inn, it should be said that its existence is very strange.

What kind of man would be the owner of such a strange inn?What kind of scenery is behind the screen wall that is about to collapse?What will be waiting for him behind this door?Shen Hao wanted to turn around and leave, but he couldn't do it at all. He could only let his body step into the door as if consciously.

Stepping through the vermilion door, Shen Hao felt as if he had stepped into another world.Once you feel warm on your body, you will be able to control your body again.Although Shen Hao was a little scared, he still decided to be safe when he came. Since someone wanted to come in and take a look, he might not be able to escape if he wanted to.

Looking around, the setting sun is rendering this courtyard, which makes people feel warm from the heart, and the coolness I felt when I was at the door before is also dispelled by the sun.And it seems to have traveled through time, and you can't see anything belonging to modern society at a glance.

Bypassing the somewhat slumped screen wall, the general appearance of the inn was finally revealed in front of Shen Hao.Behind the screen wall is a huge courtyard, which no longer looks like weeds growing wildly, although it is decayed, it is still cleaned up.There should be a hall at the end of the courtyard, where you can see the ostentatious eaves from a distance, and the octagonal wind chimes sway slightly in the air.

Surrounding the courtyard are some various houses, separated on both sides. Although they are not as grand as the hall, they are very delicate. I don’t know what it will be like inside.Although the pavilions, terraces and pavilions are no longer glamorous, you can still see their original appearance. Even if the original color has faded, it will not give people a dilapidated feeling.

The author has something to say: the new article is released, thank you for your support.

☆. The Shadow of the Fascinated Soul-Spiritual Inn

Standing at the entrance of the courtyard, you can have a panoramic view of the general scenery in the inn. Pavilions, pavilions, flowers, plants, stones and trees, you can imagine the brilliance and beauty of the past, but now only the body is left to commemorate the past scenery.Behind him was the gray screen wall, Shen Hao didn't even dare to get too close, for fear that it would collapse if he was not careful.On both sides are winding corridors, which should lead to various buildings.

The inn occupies a much larger area than Shen Hao imagined. Unlike the small and exquisite surrounding courtyards, there are only some dilapidated courtyards in the distance. They seem to have not been repaired for hundreds of years, but they can still be accessed from Biwa. In the wreckage of the Feizhen, imagine the luxury of carved railings and jade.

"Guest, please come inside." The little girl uttered again, interrupting Shen Hao's observation, still maintaining the movement of reaching out to guide, not moving at all, and when speaking, she tilted her head again and showed a shallow smile at Shen Hao .

Shen Hao withdrew his gaze and looked at the little girl in front of him. He didn't dare to look directly at her smile and eyes, but couldn't help but look up and down her appearance. His eyes slid over the little girl's dress, and after seeing the little girl's appearance clearly, I felt even more uneasy.

The little girl was wearing a white dress, the material of which was not known, it looked a bit heavy, and there were no complicated patterns.The style is rather strange, it seems to be a Hanfu, but the skirt is not as long as the Hanfu, it only reaches the knees, and the exposed legs are a bit too white.The big sleeves fell down because of the movement of reaching out, and they were obediently attached to the side.But this kind of clothing doesn't look like what ordinary children would wear.

Seeing that the little girl didn't intend to lead the way, Shen Hao had no choice but to suppress the anxiety in his heart, followed the little girl's gestures and walked forward, stepping on the gravel path in the courtyard.

Perhaps it is because of the saying that "the winding path leads to a secluded place", the path under the feet is not straight, but meanders forward along the growth of the surrounding plants, and the destination leading to it should be the hall directly ahead.The small road is paved with round cobblestones. When you step on it, you can feel the shape of the stones on the soles of your feet.

Shen Hao walked forward along the path, but he didn't remember how long he walked or how many curves he had to go around.Shen Hao was a little confused, is this road really that long?Obviously that hall doesn't look very far away.

Before I knew it, the sky had already darkened.The twilight merges, and the night draws a thick curtain, blocking the last color of the sun and isolating the last warmth.The night was so thick that it seemed to have a substance, so thick that it was hard to breathe.The faint moonlight sprinkled in the courtyard, gently covering this distinctive place.The moonlight reflected the shadows of the surrounding trees on the narrow path, drawing mottled patterns of light and shadow.

Shen Hao gradually couldn't see the road under his feet clearly, and felt the slight tingling sensation when the slightly long grass and trees on the side of the path scraped across his ankles.Following the faint moonlight again and turning around a bend, Shen Hao was finally able to see the outline of the hall, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, it should be almost there.

As the night darkened, two red lanterns were hung on the eaves outside the hall.Shen Hao quickened his pace and walked towards the hall, but he didn't know if it was an illusion, no matter how he walked, it seemed that he couldn't get closer to each other.The two lanterns were still hanging not far or near each other, and the distance from each other remained unchanged...

"Guest?" Shen Hao was awakened by the sudden voice in his ear, and the tugging sensation from his sleeve finally brought him back to his senses.

Shen Hao shivered, and when he focused his eyes again, he saw the little girl who had opened the door for him standing beside him, with a pair of big amber eyes looking straight at him, and pulling his sleeve with his left hand.When he looked around again, Shen Hao was surprised to find that he was standing next to the screen wall, and he hadn't entered the yard at all, at most, he just stepped on the gravel road in the yard.

Shen Hao withdrew his feet hesitantly, and couldn't help swallowing. Was it just his own hallucination that he walked for so long?Looking at the setting sun that was still shining in the courtyard, he remembered that it was already dark when he walked in the courtyard just now, so it must have been his hallucination just now... Shen Hao shook his palms and wanted to retreat a bit, since he entered Ever since that alley, there have been weirdness everywhere.

"Guest, you can't walk around in this courtyard, please follow me." The little girl said with a smile, without giving Shen Hao more time to think, she led him to the corridor on the right without walking through. Path across the garden.

Walking on the corridor, Shen Hao still couldn't help but look sideways at the courtyard beside him.The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the courtyard, dyeing the woody plants that turn yellow with the coming of autumn into golden yellow.It's obviously still a very warm color, but Shen Hao couldn't help but tremble in his heart.He still remembered the feeling of walking continuously in the courtyard just now, the feeling of those grass branches passing by was so real, but he couldn't get out of the courtyard anyway, in one word, it was ghost hitting the wall.

Turning his head, Shen Hao looked at the little girl walking in front again. If he observed carefully, he would feel that the other's movements were slightly unnatural, or rather stiff, as if his limbs were not so well coordinated.Shen Hao's pupils couldn't help shrinking a few times quickly, this little girl could not be the legendary puppet or zombie.

The corridor was not very long, and the two soon reached the entrance of the main hall. The little girl reached out and knocked three times. After getting a vague response from the person inside, she gently pushed open the closed door. "Boss, the guests are here."

Even with the gate open, the light from the courtyard did not enter the hall.The hall was still dark, the windows were tightly closed, and only the faint candlelight flickered in the empty room.Shen Hao saw a faint person lying there next to the beauty by the window, but maybe because the light was not bright enough, he couldn't see the appearance of that person clearly.Only a silhouette by candlelight indicates that someone is there...

"I..." Shen Hao opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

"Since I don't want anything, why did you come here?" Seeing that the man stretched out his hand and waved, without giving Shen Hao another chance to speak, he said, "Let's go back."

Shen Hao suddenly felt dizzy when that person waved his hand, and the feeling that his body was out of control reappeared.Before he had time to think about whether it was the person who guided him into the inn, Shen Hao felt a sense of weightlessness, as if he had been put into a washing machine, and it was a drum type.

When Shen Hao supported the wall and shook his head to wake himself up, he found that he was still standing on the same street as before, and it was still the streets and alleys that he walked back and forth every day, and every shop was so familiar.In front of me is still the wall with all kinds of graffiti left by passing children. I don’t know what stories are being expressed by those immature brushstrokes.What I saw when I looked up was still the same starless and moonless night sky.

The only difference is that the alley that Shen Hao strayed into before disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.

Shen Hao couldn't be sure if he really strayed into a strange alley and entered a strange old house, or if all of this was just an illusion, just like Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly, but when he woke up, he couldn't distinguish reality from reality. It's just a dream.

The legend that dusk is the time of encountering magic may not be groundless.Shen Hao looked at the wall in front of him, there was a trace of fear in his eyes, he quickly turned around and left, he must be too tired from work recently, maybe he will be fine after going home to sleep, he should take a few days off next week for a rest.

On the weekend, Shen Hao left himself at home and had a good rest for two days. By the time he went to work on Monday, he had calmed down and stopped thinking about that strange inn. I don't want to walk into that alley by accident again.

But if it can be avoided with actions, then it is not a supernatural event, and our story has just begun.

At noon on Wednesday, Shen Hao successfully obtained leave approval from his boss who was comparable to Zhou Papi, and walked out of the office building with a few things humming a little song.Standing in front of the building, Shen Hao couldn't help stretching, finally he could take a vacation.

Speaking of it, he is just an ordinary white-collar worker. He has graduated three years ago and is now 26 years old. He has no house, no car, and no deposits. He can be regarded as a member of the ant clan in the city.His temperament is not very strong, and he has no ambitions. He lives a life of mediocrity, without too many pursuits, but he also lives chicly and freely.

Shen Hao turned a corner and stopped at the intersection to wait for the red light.Passing through this intersection is the route he changed recently. Although taking the small road can save a lot of time, who knows if he will see that weird alley during the day.

Shen Hao stood bored at the intersection, counting the numbers that jumped on the opposite traffic light. It seemed that there were more and more people on this road recently. I remember that it was not so lively before.Shen Hao tilted his head, scratched his hair, and saw the girl beside him smiling friendlyly at him. She was wearing a white cotton skirt with a red pattern, and had two long braids.

The girl smiled and walked forward, with the undulating footsteps, the two braids dangling from side to side.It seemed that he was humming some tune, and his head was beating the beat bit by bit.The cotton skirt also swayed with her movements, fluttering gently in the wind.

Shen Hao glanced at the traffic light in front of him, obviously it hadn't turned green yet, so he stretched out his hand to grab the girl, telling her that it was dangerous.He didn't notice that he had followed the girl's footsteps to the road, nor did he notice the car speeding towards him.

Before losing consciousness, Shen Hao saw the girl turning her head and smiling at him with a strange smile.Only then did he see clearly that the red color on the girl's skirt was not a pattern at all, but dried bloodstains...

The author has something to say: update every three, four, five, six or four days, thank you for your support~

☆. The Shadow of Fascination - Selling Body Inn

When consciousness returned, the eyelids were heavy, and Shen Hao struggled a few times before barely opening his eyes.Everywhere I can see is white, white ceiling, white cabinets, white walls, white sheets... Have I been sent to the hospital?But the hospital isn't so white that it makes people panic... I won't be sent to the morgue!

Shen Hao struggled to prop up his body with his hands, and sat up with some effort.Looking around, except for the white eyes, there was nothing strange, Shen Hao couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief.I couldn't help but think of that girl again, the creepy and weird smile before she lost consciousness can't get rid of in my mind, if I'm not mistaken, she might be a ghost.

Shen Hao supported the bed with his left hand, ready to get up and go out to have a look, he didn't really want to stay in this white place.As soon as he exerted force, he felt a heart-piercing pain in the palm of his left hand. He raised his hand and stretched out the palm in front of him.The palm of the hand has been wrapped in clean gauze, but blood can still be seen oozing out vaguely. It seems that the injury is not serious, but it is very lucky to only hurt the hand in the car accident.

"Squeak——" the door was gently pushed open, Shen Hao followed the voice and looked over, but found that the little girl who had opened the door for him in that strange inn came in, and couldn't help opening his eyes wide, "Why are you here? "I won't go to that strange inn again.

"This is the Mingyao Inn." The little girl said with a slight smile, "Since you are awake, come with me, the young master is waiting for you." After finishing speaking, she obediently waited at the door.

Although he really didn't want to get involved with this strange inn, but out of politeness, Shen Hao still planned to visit the owner of this inn, and he should say thank you.

Walking out of the room, Shen Hao found that the place he was staying was quite close to the hall. From the outside, it was a small courtyard composed of three rooms on the left and right, and the hall could be seen by bypassing the front wing.

"This is the newcomer? Does the boss use this place as a shelter? He picks up everything." A voice sounded above his head.

Shen Hao followed the sound and saw nothing but a white cat lying on a tree basking in the sun.

"Hey, human, what kind of eyes do you have, you have a problem with me?" The white cat said to Shen Hao disdainfully.

"Can you know a talking cat?! Monster!" Shen Hao was really scared when he saw a talking cat for the first time.

"Hmph, a startled human being. Take it away quickly, and I will eat you if you disturb my sleep again!" The white cat raised its head arrogantly, and gave Shen Hao a disgusted look. .

Shen Hao quickly lowered his head and followed the little girl to the hall, there are even monsters, this place is really scary.

"My lord is inside, please come in." The little girl pushed open the door of the hall for Shen Hao, but she didn't intend to enter, she just stretched out her hand to signal Shen Hao to go in by himself.

With the opening of the wooden door of the hall, sunlight took the opportunity to spill into the spacious room, illuminating the hall brightly.Shen Hao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked around the hall.There was still the beauty bed under the window, this time the person lying on it could no longer see only a blurry silhouette, Shen Hao could clearly see the appearance of that person, his handsomeness was unforgettable.

Her long black hair was slightly shiny, and was loosely tied up by a blue headband, and a few strands of hair were scattered on the beauty's back.Even though those black eyes were full of smiles, it gave people the feeling of cold indifference.The smile looks far away, like a mountain covered in white mist, which is not real at all, and the complicated black ancient costumes on his body do not feel at all disobedient, it blends perfectly with his temperament, and his gestures are elegant and casual , like a strange and beautiful mandala blooming in the dark.

"Xuan Ming, the boss here." The man in Xuan Yi raised the teacup in his hand as a greeting.

"Hello boss, I'm Shen Hao." Shen Hao stepped into the room, hesitated for a while, but still didn't dare to approach the man easily, and made up his mind to be careful not to have anything to do with the inn.

"I know you, sit down." Seeing something from Shen Hao's expression, Xuan Ming raised his hand to signal Shen Hao to sit down. "Don't worry, although I'm not a human being, I won't do anything to you."

Seeing that Shen Hao sat down somewhat cautiously, Xuan Min lazily leaned back on the cushion, tilted his head to signal the people behind him, "Yuzi, serve tea, don't neglect our guests."

Only then did Shen Hao discover that there was a third person in the main hall. When Shen Hao took a closer look at the other person's appearance, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment. Except for the different colors of the clothes, they were almost exactly the same as the little girl who led him the way just now. Could it be Twins?

"This is Yuzi, she is my maid, and the two dolls you saw before are her dolls." Xuan Ming explained in time, and successfully made Shen Hao stiffen again.Having seen enough good shows, Xuan Ming smiled and took a sip of tea, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, what we do here is a serious business."

"Thank you boss for taking me in. It's getting late now, so I'll go back first." Shen Hao felt that this place was too dangerous, and it's better to leave early and go back. He must find a temple to worship when he goes back, to avoid bad luck.

"I came here for what I wanted, so it's not good to just leave like this." Xuan Ming propped his chin with one hand, looked at Shen Hao lazily and said.

Shen Hao remembered that the last time he came, this person just said "Why did you come here since I have nothing to ask for" to get him out, but did he ask for anything?Even if I have something I want, this person can really give it to me. "Is there what I want here?"

"You will know this in the future, young people, don't be impatient." Xuan Ming said with a smile, "But I think we should calculate the medical expenses first."

Shen Hao couldn't help but sit upright, as expected, he wouldn't let himself go easily, "How much?"

"Listen, I will calculate for you slowly. My people brought you back, notified me, bought bandages for you, and made bandages for you, all of which are labor costs. Also, you are unconscious It’s not a short period of time, and the accommodation fee will naturally be added. By the way, the cup of tea you just drank is this year’s Yuqian Longjing. Even if it has been preserved until now, the price is not cheap. It's getting dark, I don't mind if you stay for dinner." Xuan Ming smiled and narrowed his dark eyes, "In this way... zero and zero is still a lot of money."

"How much?" Shen Hao gritted his teeth and asked again.

"Actually, it's not much, at most it's just that you can't pay off your debt after working for the rest of your life." Xuan Ming said, "However, if you work in my inn, maybe you can still pay off the debt in your lifetime."

"You mean that I must work in the inn?" Shen Hao didn't understand what he could do as an ordinary human being, and let this person use this method to force himself to work in the inn.

"I didn't say, if you want to leave, I won't stop you." Xuan Ming continued to drink tea leisurely, with a look of indifference.

"You were the one who guided me in last time?" Shen Hao recalled the strange feeling that day, and said it nicely, if he didn't stop himself, he wouldn't have brought the unconscious self here.

"Last time? Of course it wasn't me, didn't you walk in by yourself?" Xuan Ming twisted the lid of the cup with his thumb and middle finger to stroke the tea leaves, and took a sip, "I'm still surprised, ordinary people can't come in here , how did you get in?"

Being asked such a rhetorical question, Shen Hao didn't know how to answer. After a long silence, he finally just said: "It's a coincidence..."

"A chance..." Xuan Ming looked Shen Hao up and down a few times, as if thinking of something, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It's not early today, so I'll take my leave first, and I will pay back the medical expenses." Shen Hao stood up, ready to leave and leave, since it wasn't Xuan Ming who did something wrong, then there must be other strange things about this place, it's better to go earlier Good to go.As for the medical expenses, even if he could pay them all his life, he didn't want to work in this strange place.

"But I don't accept money from you humans." Xuan Min said leisurely, looking at Shen Hao with eyes full of jokes.

"Are you sure you want me to stay?" Shen Hao is too stupid not to understand Xuan Ming's meaning at this time, it seems that Xuan Ming has not planned to let him go from the beginning. "I work here, what do I need to do?" Now that it's a foregone conclusion, it's better to ask clearly about your job, Shen Hao doesn't want to deal with some weird things.

"Actually, it's not difficult, just register the income of the inn, it can be regarded as the accountant." Xuan Ming thought for a while and said. "Yuzi, remember to tell them that we have newcomers here, don't scare our newcomers."

"I haven't agreed yet." Shen Hao was struggling for the last time, the guests who came to stay in this strange inn must not be ordinary human beings, what if they cannibalize people.

"I'm kind enough to tell you that I don't charge money here, only Manzhulei. If you can get a bottle, you will be able to pay off the debt." Xuan Ming said with a malicious smile.

"Manzhulei? What is it?" Shen Hao finally gave up, it seemed that he was destined to work for this strange guy.

"Manjusawa knows, but what I want is Manjusawa from the underworld, you definitely can't get it. And you have already signed a contract with me." Xuan Ming finally showed his last trump card kindly.

"What contract? When!" Shen Hao stood up nervously from his chair. He didn't remember what he had signed. Sure enough, this person had bad intentions!

"When you were unconscious, um...the mark should be on your arm." Xuan Ming said happily, "You are welcome to be a member of our inn."

Shen Hao looked carefully at all parts of his body, even lifted his clothes to look at his stomach, and finally found a flame-like mark on the inside of his left arm.Black flames were printed on the arms, and there was a faint black shadow in the middle of the flames, which seemed to be the word "Xiu" in Xiaozhuan.Shen Hao couldn't help but clenched his hand, let it go, clenched it, let it go, and repeated this several times before he didn't directly buckle the teacup in front of Xuan Ming's clothes.

"Yuzi, our new accountant seems to be a little tired, why don't you take him to rest?" Xuan Ming seemed to have seen enough of the good show, and tilted his head to remind.

Yuzi, who had always been acting as the background, walked to the door and made a gesture of invitation. Shen Hao had nothing to say, and turned angrily and left with her.

The author has something to say:

☆、Shadow of Fascination-Ghost Talisman Ledger

"This way please." Youzi led Shen Hao out along the long corridor, and finally stopped in the largest courtyard on the east side, bowing slightly, "The wing room in the middle will be your room from now on."

"Uh...Actually, you don't have to be so polite to me. We will be colleagues in the future." Shen Hao said a little embarrassedly. Seeing Youzi's respectful appearance, he, a modern person who accepts the idea of ​​equality for everyone, always finds it very difficult. Not used to it.
