Has the attitude changed so much since the mention of the Cavaliers?
"This old gentleman's temper is really stronger than the fire in the fireplace." Gordon whispered.
"It's a bad habit to talk about others behind your back." Ji Bai patted Gordon on the shoulder and signaled that the old man in front of him has turned around. Owner of the old apartment, the three of you can stay in the hotel, but you have to follow the rules here. If you can’t, get outside to get in the rain.” Berman’s tone was indifferent, and his eyes fell on Gao Deng intentionally or unintentionally. .
Come on, am I like that kind of unruly person. "Gordon held the lollipop, folded his arms in his arms, and looked a little helpless.
Honestly, this is good for everyone, don't blame me for not reminding you. "The old man freed a hand. "Also, the accommodation fee, fifty iron per night. ‘"It’s so expensive, and the three-star service is not worth this price, right?

The old man silently turned his gaze to Gordon.
"If you don't accept it, you can go out now
"...Gordon pursed his lips and chose to compromise.
After paying the money, a keychain was handed over to Ji Bai.
"This is the key to all the rooms on the first floor. You choose which one you want to live in."
"Why is it only on the first floor? I think this building has three floors, right?"
"How come your kid has so many questions?? Still that sentence, love can't help it!" Berman snorted coldly, then turned his head and left.
"Also, you are not allowed to set foot in the area on the second or third floor, okay? Once I find out that you have violated the rules, immediately give me the fuck, don't ask me for any money!
As the footsteps drifted away, the three people slowly recovered and looked at each other.
"The rooms on the second floor and the third floor are not allowed to set foot. Why is this?" Gordon squeezed his brows, feeling that this request was a bit strange.
When I came in, if I read it right, the lights on the second and third floors were on. It would not be so quiet if there were people, and it would be impossible to fill the hotel room in such a remote area.
"Don't think so much about what we shouldn't be involved. I'll talk about it after we've been over the night. Curiosity sometimes kills the cat. Ji Bai Youyou is a little bit frivolous.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. The reason why the demolition and reconstruction of the suburbs of Beicheng City was shelved until today has not made any progress. It seems that it has caused some abnormal supernatural phenomena, commonly known as haunting.
"Pump." Before the voice fell, there was the sound of something falling to the ground.
The two looked back.
It was Lin's poker face that remained unchanged for years, and the keychain that fell to her feet.
Chapter 22 ~ Steps
"There is such an old-style apartment in the wilderness, how do you look at it?" Gordon looked around at the faded red wall notebook.
The old and aging walls are not covered with dust, and the cleanliness and hygiene are well maintained.
"The architectural style of decades ago was like this." Ji Bai stroked the rough and uneven wall, seeming to recall something.
"Why is it necessary to rebuild a suburb of a city? Is the local government planning to expropriate it or a wealthy businessman has taken a fancy to this land?" Gordon has some interest, and he can't hide his fear and curiosity about the unknown. .
"Not at all. I was not there at the time. I don't know the specifics very much. I just heard people say that there was a big fire in the suburbs of Beicheng, and most of the buildings and vegetation were burnt.
"It is said that the fire seemed to ignite in the middle of the night. At the time of the incident, most of the residents were still asleep, and no one noticed the fire. The life on the outskirts of the city was overwhelmed overnight. The local horse-riding group settled the few surviving victims and followed the order. Rebuild the suburbs of the North City." Ji Bai searched through his memory and brought out some details that he still remembered many years ago.
"You handled this matter at the time? How do you look ignorant?"
"At that time, the other knights stationed in the border town, I was less than six years old at that time." Ji Bai stared at Gordon earnestly for a moment. "This apartment building should have existed before the reconstruction of the suburbs of Beicheng. If the reconstruction work has not progressed so far, you should be able to see from the window sill the remains of the burnt-out wall."
With that said, Ji Bai motioned him to look at the window sills on both sides of the corridor.
"Really so." At the first glance, Gordon, with a keen eye, found the broken walls and twisted steel bars looming on the hill not far away, like the remains of a huge dead creature in the storm.
"Looking at it this way, there has been no progress in the reconstruction of this suburban city...
But don’t you think it’s weird? "Gordon shook his head.
"Although it is not comprehensive, it cannot be ruled out that some buildings have also escaped the catastrophe, but this house is only intact with a radius of 100 meters. Isn't it too strange?
"I don't know, maybe the fire hasn't spread here, otherwise I can't explain why there is no trace of scorching left here, Ji Bai stroked the faded wall with his finger.
"It is impossible not to spread over. The suburbs of the city are almost all lawns, and there is no problem of burning combustibles." Gordon frowned, in his opinion this apartment was a bit weird. "CF Mu"" said, "Don't get into the horns, we only live here for one night. According to the old man, there will be no major problems in following the rules, but since you are so imaginative, there is still a saying... Ji Bai fumbled his chin and swallowed calmly as a thoughtful Maureen.
"The reason the reconstruction work was hurriedly stopped was that it triggered certain supernatural phenomena. The internal news was blocked by the Knights. We don't know. However, when someone passed by the ruins of the suburbs at night, they heard the baby crying and learning about it. Xi Suoso's conversation was followed by bright lights, and the dead ruins came alive in the dark.
Lin stiffened as she bent down and picked up the keychain.
"Good things don’t go out. Rumors have been spreading thousands of miles away. The version of this rhetoric has been constantly evolving and upgrading. Today, it has been rumored that in the fire decades ago, the lost souls could not be freed, so they often returned to their homes before they were alive. The progress of the reconstruction and demolition was hindered.'
"If you follow your assumptions, this apartment will be decorated 80% of the time. Well, every night in the middle of the night, certain things will be "nonsense, do you think there are such things as evil spirits in this world?" "
I don’t know, but since even vampires exist, why don’t people allow evil ghosts to exist? "
"Puff.
The two turned around and saw Lin picking up the key again.
"Why look at me?"
"Have you caught a cold with parasites?"
"How can the blood family catch cold? Before the cockroach speaks, organize his own language." Lin Bai gave Ji Bai a glance.
The quarrel between her and Ji Bai can be regarded as a unique way of communication between the two, and neither of them paid much attention to the question of title.
Only Gordon stood by and fell silent, Q Mangzhi Oji
"Should you be afraid of invisible things like ghosts?" Observing Lin's reaction before, Gordon was almost sure of his guess.
"So, isn't it true? As a vampire, what is it that I am afraid of dying..."
"It's not that I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
"She is afraid of ghosts? How did you see it?" Ji Bai was a little confused about Gordon's guess.
"You can see cancer if you don't have a straight man." Ji Bai ignored the circle of eyes and still hadn't figured out the cause and effect, Gordon looked up and down Lin a lot.
"You are a very unique vampire. You are actually afraid of ghosts. Your house is so gloomy that even ghosts can't stand it.
"You can eat and talk nonsense, how can you insult someone's innocence out of thin air.
"These words are more convincing when you look at what I said.
"Okay, the time is not too early, if the previous assumptions are true, it is almost time for them to return to their place." Ji Bai looked at the time, and said casually and deliberately.
...Lin stayed in the same place with no expression on her face.
