Until I got on the bus again and drove back to the hotel, the scene of corpses everywhere in the church, like hell on earth, still lingered in my mind.
Since ancient times, no one has died.
The corpses were not terrible at all, but the calm appearance of those corpses, which were similar to each other, gave people a strange and frightening feeling, and made the thick cloud rise slowly from the bottom of my heart.
If it's a mortuary in a hospital, that's all.
But the place where the corpses are piled up is a solemn and sacred church!
The tramp he met in Helsing was not crazy at all. On the contrary, almost all he said was true.
It is true that the whole town of Florence is shrouded in the threat of death, which is almost a curse, and people will suffer from it all the time.
Back at the hotel, Li futu didn't immediately pack up his things and ran away. He bought a new map of Florence from the supermarket opposite.
The innkeeper could not understand his strange behavior.
Hearing is believing, but seeing is believing.
he has already taken him to see the terror that Florence is experiencing with his own eyes. He doesn't want to run for his life. Is he going to stay here to continue his "adventure"?
"Why do you buy maps? You're in the wrong place. You're not supposed to be here. Take advantage of the chance and run for your life. "
Although the first impression is like a self indulgent and dissolute drunkard, it is obvious that the hotel owner is actually a kind-hearted person even though he does not seem to be easy to contact on the surface, otherwise he will not remind Li futu again and again.
Even though the boss's so-called "run for life" is indeed a piece of advice, Li futu did not listen to the advice. He sat in the lobby of the cool hotel where no one was interested and unfolded the complete map of Florence town.
"Boss, do you know where these weird deaths in town started?"
He asked, turning a deaf ear.
The boss seemed to see his idea and shook his head: "it's useless. So many policemen can't find anything. What can you find? In order to survive, many people have fled here. Young man, you are still young. There is no need to bury your life here in vain. "
The boss picked up another wine bottle.
Li futu's face did not change, looking at the innkeeper who kept pouring wine into his mouth, his eyes were calm.
"Don't you want to find out the truth for your children?"
Voice landing.
The wine bottle just raised in the boss's hand stopped in the air.
"You What does that mean? "
His eyes on Li futu were like the water surface disturbed by the wind.
"The body in the kitchen freezer is your child, isn't it? She was killed for no reason. Are you going to watch her die so unknowingly? "
There was a thunder.
The boss's face suddenly changed, and his eyes at Li futu were full of disbelief.
"You How do you know that? "
This hotel was originally operated by him and his daughter, but since one evening a month ago, when her daughter went to the market to buy food, she never came back.
He called the police, but the police just asked him to go back and wait for the news. There was no response for several days.
Finally, regardless of his old age, he could only search for his missing daughter alone.
Fortunately, but not fortunately, after searching almost half of the town, he finally found his daughter, but at that time, her daughter had become a cold corpse.
I lost my daughter in my old age.
It's hard for ordinary people to understand what a great grief this is, but fortunately, the old man finally carried it down with nostalgia for his daughter. The old man, who has no relatives in the world, took his daughter's body back to the hotel he and his daughter jointly operated, and then put it in the freezer to freeze it.
In this way, it can not only ensure that his daughter's body will not rot, but also enable him and his daughter to accompany each other as before.
Because of this, even if people in the town are in danger now, the hotel is always open.
"If I guess correctly, the name of this hotel, Yazi, should also be your daughter's name?"
Li futu can see through people's hearts like ghosts.
You know, he had no chance to step into the kitchen, let alone get close to the freezer.
The boss looked at him and said nothing.
“…… That's right. My daughter's name is Yazi. Yazi sophili. She is smart, beautiful and kind. People like her very much. I don't know why God is cruel, and I don't know what I did wrong. It can take me, but why kill my daughter? "
Although a month has passed, the owner of the hotel obviously still can't accept the fact that the white haired people give the black haired people away. He can't help but burst into tears.Li futu was silent.
He knew that old people didn't need comfort.
Because for the elderly, any comfort is too weak.
"I don't know where the disaster started, but so far, meeting trail, Jingwu District, titasel Street..."
The innkeeper reported a series of place names, all of which were places where deaths had happened.
The boss said that Li futu finished sketching on the map with a pencil, and connected all these places together to form a pattern similar to an ellipse.
"Where is this?"
Li futu pointed to the center of the ellipse.
This disaster is obviously not due to the outbreak of natural diseases, let alone the so-called Satan's punishment.
Most of the questions are in this ellipse.
"Here, it's the Etruscan forest. The soil is dark, and the creatures are extinct. Even a bird can't be seen. There's a legend in the town that it's the place where demons live. Anyone who goes in will lose his way and never get out. So from a very early time, at least as far as I can remember, it was the forbidden area, and no one dared to break into it. "
At the age of the innkeeper, it must have been a long time since he remembered.
No wonder there is no mark on the map. It turned out to be a forbidden area.
Li futu has broken into innumerable caves of dragons and tigers, and he has never been familiar with the so-called "forbidden place" in the world. The thrilling rumor that there is no way to return to the Etruscan forest has not deterred him.
"Thank you."
He folded up the map.
"You're not going there, are you?"
The boss asked in surprise.
Li futu was noncommittal, but said with a smile.
"If I don't come back tomorrow, then the room won't be reserved for me any more."
