I live on the 18th floor of Nether Community

Chapter 13 Tail

I don't know what kind of day it is today, but the luxury hotels that Jiang Miao located are all full.Not to mention luxury hotels, even ordinary hotels that are the next best thing are gone!

Not only that, there was unprecedented traffic congestion on the road tonight, and it was impossible to get a taxi at all.There was no other way, the two of them had no choice but to walk all over the city looking for a place to stay.

It was dark at this time, but the temperature did not decrease at all.After a few muffled thunders, it actually started to rain.

"Tsk, what luck." Jiang Miao wiped the rainwater that got into his neck, only to feel that it was sticky and very uncomfortable.

Qi Chi frowned: "Don't you need to take shelter from the rain?"

Jiang Miao wiped the water from his face and pointed forward: "What are you doing so hard? Here, there is a store over there. Let's just buy an umbrella and go there!"

After he finished speaking, he put his hands on his head and ran towards the shop not far away with a small yellow light on.

Looking at the figure of the man running in the rain, Xi Chi's subordinates were quietly dispersed by him to avoid the rain.Simply, he let the rain get wet and followed Jiang Xiao slowly.

The small shop opened in a remote alley, and the surrounding shops were all closed at this time, but this one was the only one left.

The owner of the shop is a middle-aged man with a bit of bald head. He is sitting on a rocking chair with his stomach full, staring intently at the instant noodle box beside him, waiting for the noodles to be soaked.

There is also a canopy extending outside the door of the small shop, and a row of red drinks are neatly placed on the steps against the wall under the canopy, with straws inserted into them.

"This is..." Jiang Xiao wiped the rain off his body while looking at the bottles.

"For them." Qi Chi raised his chin towards the depths of the dark alley.

Jiang Miao followed the sound and saw several gray ghosts squatting under the corner of the alley not far away.They were naked from the upper body, looking at the red drinks eagerly, but they dared not approach them as if they were afraid of Jiang Miao and the others.

"I saw red drinks open and placed outside here, and they are usually used to entertain these passers-by."

Jiang Miao nodded, "They're probably afraid of me, so let's buy an umbrella and leave, don't disturb others."

"Boss!" Jiang Miao came to the door and opened the linear curtain of the small shop.

When the middle-aged man heard that there were guests, he raised his head calmly: "[email protected][email protected]...""

"...?" Jiang Miao was dumbfounded, and tried to explain while gesticulating, "It's raining outside! Hold an umbrella, umbrella!"

"oh!"

The boss really understood, stood up and pulled out a cardboard box from the side of the shelf behind him, took out a black umbrella from it and handed it to Jiang Miao.

Sure enough, body movements are the best language!Jiang Xiao hastily stretched out his hand to make a gesture of "two".

The boss frowned and shook his head, shrugged his shoulders, and showed Jiang Miao the empty cardboard box.

"It's all right!" Jiang Xiao waved his hands, turned to Qichi and said, "How about we fight first?"

"Okay." Xichi took the umbrella and opened it, "I'll fight, you lean by my side."

"Wait a minute." After Jiang Xiao finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the boss again, pointed outside and made gestures, "It's getting dark, I have to sleep, I have no place to live!"

The boss nodded again and again to show that he understood, and then chattered a long list.Seeing that the other party didn't understand at all, he also became anxious.

"He probably meant that there was a festival recently, and many guests occupied the hotel. He knew that there would definitely be a vacant room in one of them, but the haunting was too fierce, so he didn't recommend us to stay."

Jiang Miao looked surprised: "Boss, your hometown is Thailand? It doesn't look like it!"

"It's just a general idea." Qi Chi said calmly.

Jiang Miao: "Then quickly ask the boss about the location of this hotel! Ghosts, ghosts are the last thing we fear."

"it is good."

Outside, it rained harder.

……

After coming out of the small shop, Qi Chi held an umbrella and walked into the night rain side by side with Jiang Xiao.The water on the road rippled slightly as they passed by.

Jiang Xiao shook his dripping hair and complained, "It's been raining for so long, why is it still so hot?"

A pair of hands wrapped around his neck and put it on his shoulders, and he embraced him again: "Come closer."

Looking at the umbrella slightly tilted towards him, Jiang Miao couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth.

"Brother Xiaohua, you can go to the hall and go to the kitchen. You are gentle, knowledgeable and powerful. Whoever follows you in the future will be considered a blessing." Jiang Miao paused and said, "So, you guard that place." Why break the building? Why don’t you continue to travel around the world, anyway, the affairs of your monster clan are not under the control of our system. As long as you leave, don’t do evil in the future, and my mission will be completed! In this way, you will save trouble, and I will relax. We both had fun…”

The footsteps around him stopped suddenly, Jiang Xiao didn't finish his sentence, and looked at the other party suspiciously when he saw this.Xi Chi was also staring at him with dark eyes.

In a daze, what appeared in Xichi's eyes was the figure in the foggy gown when he turned and left again...

Qi Chi grabbed Jiang Miao's wrist firmly, and asked in a low voice, "Are you going to drive me away again?"

There was a chill in his tone, mixed with an inexplicable sternness.

Jiang Miao hurriedly waved his hands: "Misunderstood! I just don't want to have such an embarrassing relationship with you between the demolition office and the nail household. We get along very well, don't we? ... Also, what is 'again'?"

Qi Chi remained silent, still locked onto Jiang Miao's wrist, staring at him relentlessly, staring at Jiang Miao frightenedly, while quietly holding the silver whip with his other hand.

After a long time, the hostility in Qi Chi's body gradually dissipated, and he returned to his original peaceful and steady appearance.

"Cough, Qichi?"

"I'm sorry." Qi Chi let go of Jiang Xiao's hand, and said slowly, "I had a dream recently, and I got confused by accident."

Jiang Miao couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "You, the co-author just fell into hysteria?"

"Feel sorry."

Jiang Miao looked at Qichi thoughtfully, but in the end he just smiled and said, "It's okay."

At this time, a light came from outside the alley, and a taxi was parked on the side of the road, and two passengers got off from it.

Jiang Xiao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly waved his hands desperately towards the taxi.

The driver saw a passenger and drove towards Jiang Miao.

"Get in the car."

Jiang Xiao tugged Xia Qichi's sleeves and got into the car door first.

……

It was already midnight when we arrived at the haunted hotel.

The driver pulled over and stopped the car at a long distance away, and he was unwilling to move forward one meter even if he said nothing.Helpless, the two had no choice but to walk for a while holding an umbrella together.

"Tell me, how is this hotel more dangerous than our famous garden in the underworld?" Jiang Miao teased, touching Xichi's elbow.

Qi Chi smiled faintly: "I'm afraid there are not many places in Yangshi that can be as fierce as the Mingyuan of the Underworld."

Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows and nodded: "Yes."

A flash of lightning suddenly pierced the night sky, and a crying face suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Miao.

"I'll go!" Jiang Xiao subconsciously took a step back.

He looked up at the broken street lamp and snapped his fingers at it.I saw the street lamp flickering, then turned on tremblingly.

The surrounding things were revealed under the pale street lights, and it turned out that the crying face just now was the head of a statue of an angel as tall as a man.

Probably because it has been too long, the angel's head has been split from the middle.Half of its face is covered with green moss and mushrooms of different sizes, making its expression even more eerie.

Jiang Miao pushed open the painted iron gate, and said speechlessly, "A place like this is still open?"

"It looks like a resort." Qi Chi locked his eyes on a mottled swimming pool in the distance, and thought, "I take back what I just said. This place is quite fierce."

"It doesn't matter if he is fierce or not, as long as he can shelter from the rain." Jiang Miao passed the broken sculptures indifferently, and walked straight to the central lobby covered with vines.

The light inside the hotel was still dim, and the apparently ostentatious place looked dirty under such dim light.

At the front desk was a dark-looking old man. When he saw the person coming, he grinned stiffly to both sides, revealing a row of big yellow teeth.

"Sawadee Krub."

"Ah, Sawa, Sa..." Jiang Miao looked back at Qichi: "You told him?"

Xi Chi nodded.

"The boss is the boss!" Jiang Miao gave a thumbs-up, then turned around and fumbled for the cigarette case outside to smoke under the eaves.

He lit a cigarette and took a puff, then suddenly took out another fruit candy from his pocket as if remembering something, peeled it off and put it in his mouth.Then he quickly folded the candy paper a few times and threw it into the sky.

As soon as the white light appeared, the little figure made of sugar paper shook his head and floated in front of Jiang Miao, and saluted him.

"You're in good spirits." Jiang Miao looked at the little paper figurine and smiled, "I'll leave it to you tonight!"

The little paper man scratched his head, as if he didn't understand what Jiang Miao meant.

"Why are you looking at me? Don't understand what you mean?"

The little paper man nodded.

"Look at the wind, look at the wind, understand?"

The little paper man jumped a few times in the air, and saluted Jiang Miao again.

"Good boy." Jiang Miao poked the little paper figurine's head with his finger.

"The staff said that it was raining tonight, and many of their rooms were leaking. Now there is only one double room available."

"What?!" Jiang Miao laughed, "Is there only one room left in such a big hotel?"

Xi Chi nodded: "There is still a suite, but there is no hot water."

Jiang Miao rubbed his sore and swollen forehead, waved his hands and said, "That's all, let's make a big bed. You sleep on the bed, and I'll sleep on the floor."

After Jiang Xiao finished speaking, he walked towards the elevator with heavy steps.

"and many more."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Miao turned his head.

"The elevator is broken."

"..."

The hotel rooms still use traditional key cards, but the environment inside the house is fine.It's just that the quilt feels damp to the touch, but fortunately there is no strange smell.

Jiang Miao lifted the foot of the bed and sat on the edge, sighing helplessly: "The management of this hotel is too bad, since it is a business, at least it should look like a business."

"Just by the way, this hotel was invested and built by a Japanese developer before. It was originally intended to be a hot spring resort. But then there was a problem with the funds, and the hotel was rented out to local villagers at a very low price. .”

"No wonder."

Xichi took off his coat and hung it on the clothes rack, turned on the air conditioner in the house, turned the temperature up, and said, "Go take a shower first."

Jiang Xiao waved his hand: "It's okay, you wash first!"

Xi Chi was not polite, nodded and went into the bathroom.

There was the sound of "squeaking" water in the bathroom, Jiang Xiao boiled a pot of water and made a cup of tea to drive away the cold.As a result, the tea did not disappoint him.

Jiang Miao sighed helplessly, could only sip hot water, and looked around the room boredly.

There is an old photo hanging on the damp TV cabinet, which shows several peasant women walking among the fields with small bundles.The photos have faded, but you can still see the happy smiles on the faces of the peasant women.

Jiang Miao stood up and took a few steps closer to watch.For some reason, he always felt that he had seen this place somewhere before.

On the other side, in Qichi's hanging coat, the blood lotus seeds were emitting a strange color.

The bathroom door was opened with a "bang", and Qi Chi, with a sullen face, was dressed neatly and walked quickly towards Jiang Miao from inside.

If it wasn't for the fact that his wet hair was still dripping, Jiang Miao even thought that this buddy wouldn't take off his clothes in the shower.

"come out."

Xichi called out in a low voice, and the blood lotus seeds in his coat pocket flew into his palm with a "swish".

"Is it here?" Qi Chi said to the lotus seed.

I saw Lianzi flying towards the old photo on the wall, hitting it fiercely, as if trying to smash through the painting.

Jiang Miao felt his spine go numb for a moment, and he remembered that he had seen this field row in the ghost boy's fantasy.

It is the only way to the row of wooden cabinets!

"Isana..." Jiang Miao swallowed his saliva and looked at Qichi, "This is Isana!"
