Doomsday Harvest of Cthulhu

Chapter 8 Lucky Hotel
Ren Xingzhi wanted to walk through the narrow aisle and get to the front to take a closer look at the man.However, there were two or three people blocking the exit ahead, and it took Ren Xingzhi a lot of effort to squeeze out.

When the results came out, the man in the suit had disappeared.The other three came out from behind, Wipson patted Ren Xingzhi on the shoulder: "What's the matter, why are you in such a hurry?"

Ren Xingzhi said worriedly: "I just saw a person with magical fluctuations on his body, but I just lost track of him."

Allen comforted Ren Xingzhi and said, "It's okay. Maybe the people who come to this town are all about that statue. Let's check along the statue, and the situation of that person may also be revealed."

Ren Xingzhi relaxed his frown slightly, and nodded.When the four of them walked out of the train station, the sun was almost setting.It's just September in Impair, but it feels extremely cold.

The four of them shivered from the cold, and Scott stomped his feet and said, "Let's find a hotel to stay in today. Why is it so cold in autumn?"

The other three nodded in agreement, walked towards the tram station by the road, and took a look near the station.There is a sign on it stating the departure time and the number of departure stations.

Allen looked at his watch, it was 55:[-].The last departure time is six o'clock, which is just right.The cars went to three places respectively, in order of which they were Central Square Street, City Hall, and Iron Anchor Wharf.

At this moment, everyone heard the sound of a tram, a young woman was selling tickets, and the driver was a middle-aged man.

The four got into the car, the driver drank the water in his hand, and the conductor lady enthusiastically pulled them into the car.With her trademark service industry smile, she asked where the four of them were going.

Just as Ren Xingzhi was about to speak, Scott asked anxiously, "Which station has a hotel?"

The conductor looked at Scott and said calmly, "Sir, there are several on Central Square Avenue, which is the commercial area of ​​the city."

Ren Xingzhi said: Let's go and get the four tickets for one stop. After finishing speaking, he took out a one-dollar bill from his pocket and handed it to the conductor. After the conductor took it, he drew four small tickets and handed them to Ren Xingzhi, then asked, "Are you here for tourism?" "

Ren Xingzhi nodded: We are here to try sea fishing. "

"Then your wishes may come to nothing. There has been a stormy sea recently. It is said that there is a typhoon passing by here, and all ships in the port are not allowed to leave." The ticket seller said with a little regret.

Ren Xingzhi said relaxedly: "It's okay, just look at the weather and relax."

The conductor didn't say anything when he heard about it, and then three or four passengers got on the bus one after another. After the conductor collected the tickets, the train set off.

The speed of this train is not fast, it should be the kind of tram used for sightseeing.The car was very quiet, the conductor was sitting on his seat and looking out the window, some other passengers were silent and meditating, and some were sleeping against the glass windows.

The four of Ren Xingzhi didn't say anything, they just looked at the streets and houses on both sides.

The train slowed down slowly and stopped at a small station. The conductor told the four people that they had arrived at Central Square Street.The four expressed their thanks and got out of the car with their luggage.

It was already eight o'clock at this time, but the strange thing was that there was no one on the street, even the shops were closed.Although it is already night at eight o'clock, it is not too late at this time, and normal shops will not close until around 09:30.

But time is running out now, and the four of them need to find a hotel to rest as soon as possible. After all, the temperature is gradually dropping. If it rains a little at night and causes a cold, it will have an impact on the investigation of the incident.

The four of them walked along the street lights. On the road, there were restaurants, clothing stores and other doors with closed doors, and the residential buildings on both sides of the street were also lit with lights in twos and threes.

Fortunately, after only walking for about 10 minutes, I saw a three-story building called Lucky Hotel, and four people filed into the hotel.

At the front desk was a woman in her thirties who was playing with a child.Seeing a guest coming, the woman immediately stood behind the front desk to welcome the guest.

"Hello, are the four gentlemen staying here?" The woman's gentle voice reached everyone's ears.

Ren Xingzhi walked over to the woman and asked, "Are there two rooms for two?"

"Yes, three dollars a room, how long will you stay?"

"Let's rent it for seven days first."

"Including the deposit, it's fifty dollars."

Ren Xingzhi took out fifty dollars from the bag with some heartache, handed it to the woman and asked her to invoice.I thought that Professor Armitage must be reimbursed when I go back.

The woman collected the money and took two keys from the counter.Lead everyone to the second floor, where the two rooms are next to each other in the middle of the corridor.

The woman opened the door, and there are not many facilities in the room, but there are all the necessary beds, wardrobes, desks and bathrooms. There are also two decorative European and American paintings of the fifteenth century on the wall.

The woman said to everyone: "Gentlemen, you can check in if there is no problem in the room. If you need anything else, you can come to the front desk to find me. If you are not there, you can rest in the small room next to the front desk. You can find me there. "

Everyone nodded, indicating that they understood.

The woman looked at the attires of the four of them, and said enthusiastically: "You are here to travel, you probably have just arrived and have not had dinner. If you don't mind, I can cook some meals for you."

Everyone was very happy to hear it and accepted it. After all, it is very pleasant to meet such a kind person during the mission.

Because the space in the room is not large, everyone can only eat at the table in the hall on the first floor.The four put their luggage in the room, wiped their faces and went downstairs.

At the dinner table, Allen said to the other three people: "You have also discovered the strangeness of this small town, right?"

Wipson nodded: "Yes, the shops close too early at this time, and there are no pedestrians on the road, and even the residential buildings on both sides of the street have very few lights on."

Allen took Wibson's words and said: "It means that many places in those residential buildings are empty, and the number of lights in the houses does not match the number of people in this block at all. I don't believe these people go to bed so early. gone."

Ren Xingzhi said: "According to the information given by the professor, although this small town is a tourist city, the aborigines do not have the habit of going out to work. We can investigate this situation later."

Scott nodded while listening, watching other people say: "Hmm!!"

Ren Xingzhi said: "Let's take a good rest today. Tomorrow we will buy a map and then decide where to go to investigate and investigate, and then come back to collect it at night."

Dongdong, footsteps came from the side. The woman was carrying a tray with four bowls of borscht and some bread.She put the food on the table, and Scott took a sip of the borsch immediately, praising the deliciousness of the food.

Others also expressed their gratitude to the woman, Wipsen asked the woman: "Your cooking skills are really great, oh yes, what should I call you?"

The woman covered her mouth and smiled. It was obvious that she was very happy when someone praised her cooking skills. She introduced herself to everyone.

"Just call me Hailey."

The four people at the table also reported their names one after another.

After everyone enjoyed this delicious dinner, they returned to their respective rooms.Allen and Wibson lived in one room, and Ren Xingzhi and Scott lived in the other room.

After a day of running around, everyone is very tired, and after simple cleaning and grooming, they all fall into a deep sleep.
