Chapter 97 Enthusiasm
"What are you guys doing at night?" A very thin old man came out, leaning on a cane and looking dignified.

Now Yuan Tian and the others were stunned, didn't they all become puppets?How can you speak?
"Old man, may I ask who you are?" Yuan Tian asked politely, and at the same time made a bow to him to show the younger generation's respect for the elder.

Just now, the little old man should be a little angry when he saw that they were going out, because the night in Tiansang City is not safe.

"Of course I'm just an ordinary person, but those outside are not. You are also very lucky to be able to find my hotel directly so that nothing will happen." The little old man said.

"What do you mean?" Yuan Tian looked at him incomprehensibly.

"I believe that when you came, you also knew that Tiansang City has become a puppet city, and now the puppet is crying and howling outside."

"What?" Yuan Luo's face changed drastically, "Isn't the puppet unable to make a sound? Where did they get their consciousness?"

"Hey." The little old man couldn't help but sighed softly and said, "Obviously the puppet master's skills have not yet fully mastered, so now Tiansang City looks like a puppet city during the day, and the people have actually returned to normal at night, but Because of the effect of puppetry on their brains, they would feel a splitting headache, so they would yell."

"Since you have regained your consciousness, why don't you leave?" Jin Ling'er asked.

Yuan Tian also had this idea, who would be willing to stay here and be controlled by others, and endure such a great torture every night, how can ordinary people bear it.

"Of course they wanted to leave. There were many people who escaped overnight, but when they were brought back by those puppet masters, they had bled to death from their seven orifices. They said that as long as they left their control, puppetry would become a deadly form. The poison quickly spread all over the body." The old man couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the bleeding from the seven orifices of those people.

Yuan Tian carefully observed the lobby of the hotel. He didn't pay attention when he came during the day. Looking at it now, the only thing that confuses him is the ceiling. There is no chandelier and it is painted white. No wonder the hall looks a little dark.

But Tiansang City is a commercial city after all. Even if the price of the hotel is not high, there must be a lot of businessmen coming and going. No wonder a broken lamp was lit so as not to arouse suspicion.

The old man noticed that Yuan Tian's attention was shifted to the ceiling, and he couldn't help but praise him in his heart. He was the first person to discover the problem in the hall.

"Little brother, what are you looking at?" The old man asked Yuan Tian, ​​as if he wanted to hear some questions from his mouth.

Yuan Tian looked away from the ceiling, "Old man, why don't you install chandeliers here?"

"Isn't this the recent skyrocketing price! It's not easy for an old man like me to open such a small hotel to make a little money, so I can save as much as I can," the old man said.

When Yuan Tian asked this question, Jin Ling'er also discovered the problem. The walls of the hotel were actually in dilapidated condition and hadn't been properly renovated, but the ceiling was repainted with white paint. Refreshing the ceiling but not paying attention to the walls?It is estimated that no traveler will care about how delicately the ceiling of a hotel is installed, right?
Besides, judging by the dilapidated state of the hotel, it must have been established more than 20 years ago. It was quite cheap to buy a chandelier more than 20 years ago. Would the old man not be able to afford it?Jin Ling'er decided not to believe his words.

"Old man, you have more than one problem here. Why don't you just tell us what is on the ceiling? It will save us from dismantling it by hand. Also, I think of a very important place, in Tiansang City Here, except for the three of us who just arrived are normal people, I am afraid that only the puppet master is normal? Are you a puppet master?" Jin Linger stepped forward and grabbed the old man by the collar, squinting Eyes sized him up.

When people are lying, the eyes are the easiest to see through, because the eyes will contain a guilty conscience, so Jin Linger keeps staring into his eyes.

The old man didn't mean to be angry at being dragged by her like this. Instead, he laughed, "The little girl has such a bad temper, be careful that your husband stays away from you."

"Ah, we are not." Jin Ling'er blushed immediately, the old man actually regarded her as Yuan Tian's wife, could it be because of Yuan Luo's presence?But they do look like a family of three now.

"Okay, Linger, don't mess around." Yuan Tian broke Jin Linger's hand away, and then apologized like an old man.

If the old man is really a puppet master, he will definitely fight them in anger after being found out, or turn them into puppets too, but he behaves very naturally. Yuan Tian has also heard that the people of Tiansang City were Doing business all year round has to deal with people, so he is famous for his temper. This old man fits Tiansangcheng's statement very well.

Therefore, Yuan Cai thought that the old man should not be a puppet master, but what is his identity?Why can everything be safe and sound?

"Well, this young man still has eyes." The old man praised Yuan Tian and said.

"Old man, it's better not to beat around the bush with us. We are here to save people. If you know something, please tell us in detail." Yuan Tian bowed respectfully.

The old man took the three of them to a conference room-like place, and only told them after they all sat down.

This hotel was originally unremarkable, but she was a puppeteer just as Jin Linger said.

Hearing that the old man admitted that he was a puppet master, Yuan Tian almost vomited blood on the spot, and he was too shameless. Seeing what Yuan Tian was thinking, Yuan Luo pursed his lips and smiled slightly, but it was not obvious.

Although the old man is a puppet master, he has never hurt anyone. He has always used puppet art on animals. Finally, I made a seal on the ceiling and refreshed it so that no one would observe it.

The sigils on the ceiling were specially developed by him to deal with the puppet masters outside. In order that the people in Tiansang City would not become puppets in the end, he let these sigils cause the puppet masters to have illusions, making them think they were The hotel has no business at all, so after pretending to be under the control of puppetry, he secretly protected some normal people who walked into their hotel, and then sent them out safely.

But it's a pity that these people who were sent out didn't give up at all, they would come back every time, and when they came back, they felt that his place was a black shop and lived there. As a result, all of them were also controlled by puppet techniques.

Yuan Tian finally understood that the old man remained awake, firstly because he was a puppet master, he knew how to release the puppet art from controlling him, and secondly he also knew how to deal with those puppet masters without harming outsiders, so like The undercover has been lurking in Tiansang City, but this is not a long-term solution. It is best to find out who is behind the scenes, so that no one will be made into a puppet again.

"So I."

"is the boss around?"

The old man still wanted to continue talking to Yuan Tian, ​​when suddenly a woman's voice came from the hall.

Yuan Tian and the others immediately became vigilant, and Jin Ling'er also reached out to touch the whip at his waist.

"Don't be nervous, all the people in my hotel are normal people." The old man hurriedly explained, lest they accidentally hurt someone.

Hearing what he said, Yuan Tiancai relaxed, the old man asked them to wait here for a while, and he went outside to see what was going on.

As soon as the old man went out, Yuan Tian hid at the door and eavesdropped.

"Little girl, why are you calling the little old man in the middle of the night?"

"Is there something like anti-sound earplugs? A friend of mine is an ordinary person and cannot close her five senses like a cultivator. The noise made her hardly sleep these days."

"I'm not too sure about this, just wait a moment, I'll look for it first."

"Yuan Tian, ​​this voice is so familiar." Yuan Luo raised his head and said softly to Yuan Tian.

Yuan Tian also felt this way, but whose voice was it?
"We'll know if we go out and have a look." Yuan Luo opened the door and rushed out, Yuan Tian didn't have time to catch him, the speed of this kid jumping out could almost match Liu Xiang.

"Sister Xiaonu, is it really you?" Yuan Luo looked at Xiaonu in the hall in surprise, unexpectedly she also came here.

When Tian arrived at Yuan Luo and called Xiao Nu, Yuan Tian and Jin Ling'er also walked out together, it was indeed her.

"Xiao Nu, it's great that you're here. Where's Qing'er?" The moment he saw Xiao Nu, Yuan Tian finally heaved a sigh of relief. As long as she was fine, Yuan Qing should be fine. Found this place.

"Yuantian? You're finally here. When we arrived in Tiansang City, we didn't expect it to be a puppet city. Later we found this hotel. The owner is nice and it's safe. Qing'er is suffering from insomnia now. Every night these puppets The common people under the control of the technique would yell and scream until dawn, which gave her a headache."

"Oh, I finally found it." The old man climbed up from under the counter sweating profusely, and then handed a small pack of sound-proof earplugs to Xiao Nu, "Girl, this is the last pack in our store. If you lose it, I will But I can't find it anymore."

"Understood, thank you boss." Xiao Nu smiled and took the soundproof earplugs.

Then everyone said goodbye to the old man and went upstairs one after another.

Xiao Nu took Yuan Tian and the three of them to her room. She booked a standard room with exactly two beds, and Yuan Qing was watching TV.

"Qing'er, look who I brought here." As soon as Xiao Nu pushed the door open, her voice had already reached Yuan Qing's ears.

Yuan Qing looked away from the TV, and when she saw Yuan Tian, ​​she hugged him excitedly, and then pinched Yuan Luo's cheek.

"Oh, you haven't seen us for a few days! Don't be so enthusiastic, it's too nasty." Yuan Luo protested.
