The final gentleman

If the hotel lobby was a bit dark, the stairwell where William followed the attendants was almost pitch black without any lighting equipment.

Seeing William pause, the black rat attendant on the side explained:

“Please don’t mind that most wererats prefer a dark and damp environment, so in the hotel’s ‘passage’ area we did not provide lighting and kept it dark.

There are many similar places inside Rat City, I hope you can get used to it

Please come with me. Your room is on the fourth floor. "

At this time, Thirteen's voice came from behind: "Teacher, do you need me to provide lighting?"

"It's okay, just do as the Romans do."

William deliberately hid the trump card of Thirteen. After all, it cost a full 100,000, and it was at a discount. The candle puppet that had been perfectly transformed by the Duke Chamber of Commerce must be an important support for exploring the abyss.

It is entirely possible that the ‘abyss’ in William’s eyes is some kind of living creature. Releasing her candle early might alert the snake.

Moreover, William could penetrate this level of darkness simply with his own vision.

We have already seen that there is a problem with the ‘gap’ in the stairwell.

Dense black rat hair grows mainly along the wall and in the gaps. As you look closer, you will find that these wriggling rat hairs seem to be slightly thicker, more like the tail of a rat than hair.

These tails will automatically retract when William's leather shoes step on them.

Arriving on the fourth floor, the horizontal passages on the entire floor were also dark, with more rat tails growing on both sides of the passages, and some even attached to the walls.

Finally came to the special room at the end.

The lock was actually a completely hardened rat corpse. As soon as the key was inserted into the mouth and turned, the corpse immediately softened.

Click! The moment the door opens.

A rotten and moldy smell overflowed when the door was opened, and a large number of rat tails retracted into the cracks in the wall the moment the door was opened.

The black rat attendant explained:

"There are very few people living in the special rooms, so they may have some smell. I hope you don't mind."

"fine."

"Dear guest, if you have any questions during your stay, just tap the bedside to express your needs.

The 'messaging rat' in the wall will immediately bring your needs to the hotel front desk, and we will solve the problem for you as quickly as possible.

In addition, we have unified dining here, and you can go to the restaurant on the second floor at any time to enjoy our Rat City's special meals.

If there's nothing else, I won't disturb you. "

Click~

While closing the door, William also released the chains to completely block it.

The only candle at the bedside was lit, providing a small amount of light.

The round bed was like a rat's nest, and the bedding was moldy and even contained a lot of rat droppings. The water flowing out of the bathroom was light green and could barely be used for bathing.

"Teacher, there seems to be something wrong with the hotel."

"Well... it's a good thing to have problems. As long as we can solve the problem, we can speed up our understanding of Rat City. If trouble comes, you don't have to rush to light the candle, I will solve it."

"OK.

In other words, with your abilities, teacher, you can carry out large-scale missionary work in this city, and you can easily figure out the situation here. You can also have a group of plague students to do things for you, and even use them as cannon fodder to explore the location of the abyss in advance. . "

"If I have no bottom line in recruiting students, my nature as a teacher will be affected. The rats here are so mean and disgusting, even their brains are flowing with green rot.

Moreover, this city is very likely to have been affected by the abyss. Before you are sure of the problem behind it, you must not alert the snake... Maybe there are people with stronger brains than me who have controlled some rats.

If I educate them again, they may be able to understand my epilepsy in advance, and they may even have an influence on me in the opposite direction of the students' brains. "

"I'm sorry that I didn't think carefully... I haven't been with the teacher during this period, and I have become a little conceited. I will try my best to correct it." Thirteen lowered his head and even felt a drop of wax fall.

"It's a good thing to have your own ideas, but you can process them as much as possible and deduce them to get more precise and accurate conclusions before speaking out~ Okay! It's late, and it's a little hot along the way, so I'm going to take a shower and then go to bed. .”

"Teacher, do you want to take a shower here?" As soon as Shisan asked this question, he felt that he had said a bit too much, and he quickly reached out to cover his mouth.

"Yeah, why...you want to come together?"

"No~ No! My body is not suitable for contact with liquid~ If the teacher wishes this, I am also willing to clean my body with you."

"You're just kidding, just stay safe outside."

William walked into the bathroom with his suitcase and first lit the white candle on the sink.

Unexpectedly, the fire spread out in an instant.

hiss! There was a neighing sound,

All the rat tails growing in the cracks in the bathroom wall were retracted, and they also made a cry of discomfort. It seemed that a moment of illumination made these tails accustomed to darkness quite uncomfortable and even burned.

William didn't care about these 'rats in the wall';

He opened the suitcase and stared at a piece of leather folded inside, an "apostle's skin" whose value was incalculable and came from the gatekeeper of the leather factory.

A month's circus life is too tight, and William can't spare any time to deal with it. Although he has time now, it is still a bit troublesome to be in such a hotel.

"Once something like the apostle's skin is taken out, it's easy to scare the snake away. Forget it...this skin can be used in other ways. It may also have a very good boosting effect. There is really no need to carry out "black dead skin" now. transformation. "

William, who had taken off his clothes, stood under the nozzle, and the light green water washed over his body. The invading pathogens still died in the body after being beaten violently.

Everything was fine during the wash.

William put his hands against the bathroom wall and quietly felt the situation inside the wall, with a strange smile on his face.

Finished washing.

When William returned to the room, he didn't mind being dirty at all and fell directly onto the mattress that was like a rat's nest.

Not only did he not wear gentlemanly clothes to isolate the mold on the mattress, he instead took off his shirt, deliberately exposing his solid and beautiful body.

Thirteen was stunned by this scene. He always felt that the teacher he hadn't seen for a month had changed a lot.

"Teacher, please sleep peacefully. I have replaced the candle with a brand new one. It doesn't matter if you don't need to rest."

"Pretend to rest, pretend everything is normal."

"Oh, got it."

Thirteen followed the instructions and switched to "standby mode". No light was emitted from his head, and his whole body stood like a decoration at the door.

After being transformed and upgraded by the Chamber of Commerce, she will not release any vitality in this mode, but her mind still exists and she can sense everything around her, making her very suitable for serving as a night sentry.

I don’t know how long it has passed,

When the humid and stuffy room made William's exposed upper body covered with sweat and he rolled back and forth on the bed,

Squeak~ There seems to be a large number of even dense rats running around inside the wall.

Immediately afterwards, dense black rat tails stretched out,

This time it was not only a crack in the wall, but also directly penetrated the wallpaper, ceiling, and even the bathroom!

Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of rat tails intertwined and coiled around the room, eventually forming a huge jet-black rat skull, enough to swallow William's body in one bite.

Shisan, who was standing at the door, noticed the abnormality very early. When he was about to burn candlelight to dispel and burn these evil spirits, he suddenly remembered the words of the teacher before and finally chose to turn a blind eye.

Until...click! The black head braided with rat tail swallowed William in one gulp.
