Chapter 253 The monster that recently appeared in the slums
There are more than a dozen tables in the slightly dim lobby.
The ground was full of food waste, no one was cleaning it, and there was a terrible smell in the air.
If it weren't for the hotel sign outside, Li Changsheng would have even felt that he had arrived at a garbage transfer station.
There are many people eating and drinking on more than a dozen tables.
The structure of the hotel is also very simple.
There is the front desk on the right, probably the kitchen behind it, and further to the right are the stairs leading to the second floor.
“It’s better to eat or stay in a hotel!”
reception?
Anyway, a middle-aged man raised his head and shouted to Li Changsheng in a hoarse voice.
Li Changsheng was observing his surroundings.
He found that those people seemed to be eating, but their eyes were dull. One person even dropped the coarse grain cake he just put into his mouth.Everyone seems to have no energy.
It felt weird.
"Stay at the hotel."
He came to the front desk and took a closer look at the middle-aged man.
He has the aura of soul power on his body, and it's not low, he should be above Soul Master, but he's very sloppy.
"Tongpu, three copper soul coins a night. Provide a meal of coarse grains."
The middle-aged man flipped through the account books without raising his head and just said this.
"Tongbu? Isn't there a separate room? I can pay more."
Li Changsheng frowned. Logically speaking, it would be strange for such a dirty and messy business hotel to appear in such a prosperous place as Xingluo City. Moreover, this place only has Tongpu?What a joke.
Probably after hearing Li Changsheng's words, the middle-aged man raised his head.
His somewhat hazy eyes flickered a few times, with a slightly teasing tone:
"Yes, there is. I'm just afraid that you won't dare to live there."
Hmm, are you afraid of living in a house?
"How can I say this? It's just a room, but it also depends on the person's courage and determination?"
"The guests are from out of town, right?"
"Ah."
"No wonder. However, even people who are familiar with Xingluo City probably will not know what is happening here during this time period."
The middle-aged man yawned very sleepily.
"Then, what does this have to do with the house I live in?"
Li Changsheng felt that this middle-aged man had not slept peacefully for a long time.
"Oops. Since this guy from the store has already said that he wants to rent a single room, you can just open one for him. He will naturally know the reason tomorrow."
A beggar?No, the sloppy old man, who should be said to be a beggar, picked up the husks of peanuts, put them in his mouth, and shouted to the middle-aged man.
"Actually so."
The shopkeeper didn't bother to pay attention to the old beggar, maybe he saw that Li Changsheng could no longer bear his temper.
Through the store's explanation.
Li Changsheng first knew why this place was dirty and messy.
This has something to do with some customs of the Star Luo Empire.
People in the Star Luo Empire would bury their deceased relatives not far from Star Luo City.
However, the outer city was actually built on these cemeteries.
Even now, this custom still exists.Moreover, there is also a cemetery built in the outer city.
Li Changsheng didn't notice that not far from the hotel was the largest cemetery.
Because of its geographical location, housing prices here are particularly cheap.
Therefore, this resulted in a dirty and messy environment in this hotel.
Secondly, according to the store owner, there have been a lot of murders here recently. Many homeless beggars, or people living here, have died.Five or six soul masters have died in this store.
Like Li Changsheng, they all came from out of town and were preparing to watch the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition.
Li Changsheng was also thinking while listening.Could it be that some evil soul masters with abnormal psychology committed the crime?
But then, the store owner’s words became more and more outrageous.
"There will be monsters at night, and they will kill those who live alone. Even the soul masters will die quietly the next day. So, you see, the people here originally lived in single rooms. Yes, now that we all live together, we can’t sleep well every night.”
While the store owner was talking, he yawned more than ten times.
Due to geographical reasons, there are many beggars and the like here, but they can still afford to live here.They can't afford to live elsewhere.
They need to go out and work during the day to ensure they have a place to stay and not go hungry at night.
And at night, they couldn't sleep well when they were crowded together.
"Didn't the soul master from the Star Luo Empire come to resolve this matter?"
"I've been here before. However, now is the time when the Continental Senior Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is being held. Those nobles don't want to cause panic, so they have been suppressing this matter. Moreover, the lives of these beggars are also It’s not worth it. A few people die, but it solves the problem of overcrowding.”
"Hey, hey, storekeeper, we can't pretend we didn't hear what you said!"
"Tsk. So what if you heard it. If it weren't for the fact that the land here is not valuable, I would have sold it to those little nobles as a cemetery. Now there is no need to spend all day and night with you stinky guys. Crowded together.”
The middle-aged man spat on the ground with great disdain.
Not all the people working here are beggars, there are also many brightly dressed people. I'm afraid they are like Li Changsheng, who can't find any other free hotels?
"How about it, young man, do you still want to live in a single room? Judging from your appearance, you should be a kid from a rich family. Why didn't you book a high-end hotel in advance?"
Li Changsheng wanted to say that he was just staying for a few days.
But he was too lazy to speak.
"Just get a single room."
Li Changsheng's unquestionable tone made the middle-aged man stunned.
"Okay, okay. I hope you are confident enough and not arrogant. Of course, a few people have died anyway, and I don't mind reporting it again. The room on the far left on the second floor. Five per night A copper soul coin. Can provide two meals."
The middle-aged man handed Li Changsheng a key from under the counter.
"On the contrary, I want to see what kind of monster is so powerful."
Taking out the soul coins from the storage soul guide, Li Changsheng picked up the key and walked up to the second floor.
"Hey, kid."
Suddenly there was a cry from behind.
Li Changsheng turned his head and looked at the three fierce-looking guys who came to a place more than two meters away from him.
"What's up?"
"That's a storage soul guide you just used, right? It's quite rich. Lend us some."
Li Changsheng frowned.Subconsciously he looked at the middle-aged man at the counter.
The middle-aged man saw what was happening here, but he just turned his head and lay on the counter.
"Hey, hey, kid. Our boss is talking to you. Where are you looking? Anyway, you will die tomorrow morning, so you might as well give us all your money now."
A man next to him took out a knife from his arms and shouted at Li Changsheng.
"Don't scare the kids."
The middle-aged man smiled and stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Oh, that's really interesting."
Li Changsheng smiled teasingly.
"What are you laughing at, kid?"
"Hmm. I just feel like you three are quite stupid. This is the first time in my memory that someone has challenged me head-on like this."
Li Changsheng found it very interesting.
This is the so-called plot that the protagonist will encounter, right?
"By the way, is it useful for you to hold that little broken knife? Although soul guides are quite advanced now, this is still the world!"
Li Changsheng used his soul power to kick out the guy holding the knife.
boom!
Before the man could react, he flew out and hit the table hard.
Then, when the remaining two people were in a state of shock, Li Changsheng used his soul power to directly strangle the two people's necks, and then threw them out together.
The guys in the store all looked at her in astonishment.
It seems that Li Changsheng is not very old, but his strength is too exaggerated!
This is in the eyes of ordinary people.
The middle-aged man at the counter looked at Li Changsheng in astonishment.
Including some soul masters who were eating not-so-palatable food on the table, they all looked over.
Li Changsheng ignored them and turned around to go up to the second floor.
