The arrogance of the city

Chapter 1513 A Dark Town

Never go out at night.

With what may be called a kind reminder from the hotel, Li Futu took the key and stepped up the steps to his room.
"Squeaky..."

However, for a four-story hotel, there is no need to have an elevator, and the stairs are quite old. The handrails are even covered with dust visible to the human eye, and the wooden boards make noise when stepped on.

The entire hotel seemed to be really empty, and the surroundings were unusually quiet, so quiet that it almost made people panic.

Fortunately, Li Futu is a bold man, he will settle down when he comes, ignore the strangeness of this hotel, follow the boss's prompt, and quickly find his room,
"Clap."

He took out the key and inserted it into the door opening, and the door opened accordingly.

The room is facing the street, the light is not bad, but the facilities are very simple, except for a bed and an old TV, it can be said that there is nothing, not even a chair.

The only thing worthy of praise, perhaps only can overlook the street view.

Li Futu walked to the window and opened the curtains. Across the street is a supermarket. The business is good. At least it is definitely much better than this sparsely populated Yazi Hotel. You can just see that when everyone comes out of the supermarket They were all carrying big and small bags, full of them, as if the supermarket was doing some big promotion.

Although this small town does give people a strange feeling everywhere, at least so far, Li Futu has not found any signs of the so-called 'curse'.

Time passed by quietly.

As the sun sinks, the light gradually withdraws from the world.

Li Futu went downstairs again, and saw the alcoholic boss lying on the reception desk, seemingly drunk, still holding the wine bottle in his hand.

Without disturbing the other party, Li Futu walked out of the hotel, intending to find a restaurant nearby to solve the dinner problem before dark, but after looking around, although he managed to find a few restaurants, all of them closed early without exception.

You know, it's only after six o'clock in the afternoon.

In vain, Li Futu had no choice but to turn back. Fortunately, when he came back, the supermarket opposite was not closed yet, so he went in to buy some fast food products.

"Jingle Bell……"

The wind chime swayed.

When Li Futu returned to the hotel, night had already begun to fall, and the supermarket opposite had closed its doors after receiving him.

This small town seems to have no nightlife at all.

The shaking of the wind chimes woke up the drunk innkeeper. He wobbled and sat up straight with support. When he saw Li Futu walking in, confusion flashed in his eyes behind the reading glasses, and then he seemed to recall this It was the guest he received in the afternoon, and then he looked away from Li Futu and glanced outside the hotel.

The night came again.

Looking at the gradually darkening sky outside, he was stunned for a while, then he came back to his senses, and his eyes fell on Li Futu again.

"Boy Dongfang, what did you do?"

Li Futu, who really listened to the advice and returned to the hotel before dark, raised the plastic bag in his hand.

"I was going to find a restaurant, but I didn't expect it to be closed so early, so I had to go to the supermarket opposite to buy some food to fill my stomach."

The innkeeper looked down and saw through the plastic bag the nutritious instant food inside.

He was silent for a while, then let go of the wine bottle he had been holding in his hand, and stood up with great effort.

"You are young, how can you eat these junk foods. If you don't mind, please eat with me."

With that said, he went to the kitchen.

The boss looked drunk and unreasonable, but in fact he seemed to have a good heart.

Li Futu was a little surprised, but he was not polite. He gave up his plan to go upstairs and found a place to sit down.

About half an hour later, the owner of the hotel came out with two plates. Naturally, they were not Long Guo dishes. The plates contained freshly fried steaks. The part may be a little burnt because of the excessive heat.

Of course, the other party was very kind, so Li Futu would not pick and choose, and when the boss approached, he would take the initiative to take the plate.

"If you're not skilled enough, let's just eat it."

With that said, the boss handed the knife and fork to Li Futu, then sat down by himself, and began to eat.

It is very unsightly to eat like a wolf.

"Boss, are you the only one looking at this shop?"

Li Futu picked up a piece of beef and chewed it slowly. The taste was really unsatisfactory, and even smelled like blood.

"I hired a few people before, but as you can see, the business is so bad now, why do I still have so many people, so I fired them all."

The boss didn't lift his head, but ate with relish.

Li Futu glanced at the stairs that Ghost Shadow hadn't seen until now, and asked with a smile, "Is it true that I'm the only guest here?"

The hotel owner directly wiped his mouth with his hand, and looked up at Li Futu.

"You were right. Don't talk about staying in the hotel now. If you are not forced to, people here will not even leave the door. In 20 days, you are indeed the first guest to visit."

Li Futu remained calm, and continued to ask: "What happened here? I searched for a long time in the afternoon before I found this place. I saw many hotels on the road, but they were all closed, and why did those restaurants close so early?" ? Don’t people here even eat?”

People eat for food.

It may be understandable that hotels and the like have no business, but how can a restaurant close before dark?
"How can people not eat?"

The hotel owner retorted, but he didn't explain why the restaurants here closed so early, he just reminded them.

"Young man, if you go to a restaurant to eat in the future, remember to go early, preferably two hours in advance, so that you can guarantee that you can finish eating before dark."

dark.

This is not the first time hoteliers have mentioned the term.

Li Futu turned his head and looked outside.

The light has completely faded away, replaced by darkness covering the world.

The hotel owner seemed to have noticed this too, and adjusted the reading glasses on his nose.

"eat quickly!"

The tone was hurried, not so much a urging, but more like an order.

He seemed to be afraid of something.

"Thank you, it tastes good."

A steak was finished quickly, and Li Futu thanked him politely, but when he was about to go upstairs, he was stopped by the hotel owner.

Then, the other party brought him a candle.

"I forgot to tell you, there is another rule here. At night, it is forbidden to turn on the lights."

Staring at the white candle, Li Futu's eyes froze.

Outside the hotel, the night quietly spread.

The entire town of Florence fell into a dark night.
