Deep in the Living

Chapter 277 Rat Sound
Fei Ji stared at the hotel in front of him, his spine trembling with excitement.

"We actually found an inn! Indeed, due to the threat of the Ash Storm, there are some large inns specially set up in the area in front of the Sin Bridge.

After all, in addition to pilgrims, the Prologue also occasionally attracts visitors.

The hotel is built with special large volcanic rocks, which can completely shield the impact of storms.

It's a good opportunity for us to take shelter inside, sleep and have something to eat."

Luo Di was a little confused, "Who can open a hotel here?"

"It could be someone from the Hell Merchants Group, or it could be other small or medium-sized forces that have some connection with the Order Group, so that their people can take a short rest and reorganize in front of the bridge before heading to the Order Group.

Besides, the prices of this kind of hotel are usually very high, so I can make a profit from it.”

Before Rodiben could continue asking what the Hell Merchant Group was, the Crow had already brought him to the door of the inn.

indeed.

The hotel in front of me is bigger and taller than the ones in the previous town. It looks like a stand-alone apartment building in the human world, with a total of 13 floors.

It is closed with a heavy arched iron door, and on the door is painted a hell formation specially designed to fight against storms.

Two special red candles were lit on both sides of the gate. Even though there was a strong wind, the candles still emitted a strong blood-red light so that passers-by could clearly find the gate.

There are still seven minutes until the storm forms.

Just as Rody dismounted and was about to knock on the heavy iron door in front of him,
A heavy sound of footsteps came from the side, and at the same time there was a feeling of oppression and pain, forcing Rody to turn his head suddenly and look in the direction where the sound came from.

Between the Storms,
An individual wrapped in a pitch-black rubber cloak was running towards here, leaving thick footprints on the ground with every step. Faint metal collision sounds could be heard coming from the other person's body, or even from within his body.

The mysterious man, who was over 1.9 meters tall and had a strong physique, soon came to the gate and his eyes fell on Rody.

The other party first looked at the crow colt that was transforming into a crow, then looked at the spine necklace representing the identity of the Spine, and quickly looked at Rody's left arm.

A female voice came from under the hood:
"The spine and the torture device... who are you?"

"The messenger from Chaos Hive is going to visit Mr. Hawke in the torture chamber."

When she heard the word Hawke, the mysterious woman's body trembled noticeably.

She wanted to ask more questions, but the ash like a blade hit her throat, slightly cutting the skin. "...We can talk about it after the storm is over. Come in first."

The mysterious woman reached out and touched the teleportation rune on the iron door, and was teleported directly to the inside of the iron door without opening the door.

Luo Di also followed suit.

hum!
The noise disappeared.

In return, there was absolute silence inside the hotel.

Candles were lit on both sides of the counter, and an old demon with a huge nose was looking at the two of them with a smile.

The mysterious woman did not check in immediately, but asked in a stern tone:

"Please show us your business license in the Plains of Pain, as well as the faction or merchant group you belong to."

"Ok."

The innkeeper skillfully took out the relevant documents from under the counter, and after confirming that everything was correct, he started the check-in procedures and received a relatively high-level obsidian key.

Before leaving, the mysterious woman looked at Rody behind her again.

"You should be on your journey as soon as the storm is over. We will meet at the gate then."

This time, with the help of the lights inside the hotel, Rody was able to see the man's face clearly, hidden behind his hood.
It was a pale, colorless face of a woman, with a few white hairs faintly visible through the hood.

It looks more like a human than a demon. Because of the cloak, only part of its face can be seen, and its specific physical characteristics cannot be seen.

But what Rody could be sure of was that the woman in front of him was a member of the prologue group, and his left arm had already produced a slight sense of it.

"Okay, see you then."

The woman left and Luo Di began to go through the registration procedures.

However, this time he couldn't rely on his status as an envoy to stay in the hotel for free. The big-nosed innkeeper in front of him also made it clear that the hotel here was privately owned by the merchant group, and even envoys had to pay fees.

Fortunately, Fei Ji carried a lot of currency that he had prepared in advance.

Along with three gold coins with the gate of hell printed on them, the boss stuffed them into his mouth and an obsidian key was spit out.

The tail of the key has [1309] engraved in Hell language.

"The good rooms are all at the top. Enjoy your stay, young messenger. I will personally deliver a delicious meal to you later when the storm is completely over and there are no customers in the store."

"Ah."

Rody held the key and went up the only staircase in the hotel.

The stairwell is also lined with white candles, providing pleasant light and fragrance.

When he reached the top floor, he had already forgotten the danger of the storm, and his body and mind had entered a relaxed state under the soothing scent of candles.

The only uncomfortable thing was that I could vaguely hear the sound of mice coming from between the walls while going upstairs.

Click~
The door unlocked, and an unexpectedly luxurious suite appeared before our eyes.

There were three candles of different colors on the cabinet at the entrance. White represented calming, blue represented psychedelic, and red represented excitement, meeting the different needs of the guests. Bones were burning in the fireplace, emitting a strong aroma of bone marrow, which aroused Rodin's stomach, which had not eaten all day.

After a while, the innkeeper knocked on the door.

What was held in his hands was not a feast, but a large bowl of freshly roasted hand-torn meat strips. The aroma it exuded was very tempting but also extremely unfamiliar. At least Rody had never eaten this kind of meat and had never seen it in the town of Hell before.

"What kind of meat is this?"

“You know, envoy~ Although my inn is related to the merchant group, they only come here once every three months. After taking most of the operating funds, they only provide limited food.

The current basic ingredients have been eaten up.

Since the inn is located alone in the Plains of Pain, it cannot replenish supplies like the inns in the town.

I had also considered this situation early on, so I deliberately raised large rats between the walls of the hotel so that I could take out a few of them as food when the food ran out.

These are big rats with plump meat and rich nutrition. If it is not enough, I will send you another pot later. "

"enough!"

"Well then~ If the Messenger needs anything, just stand at the stairs and shout, and I will hear you."

"Ok."

The door is closed.

Luo Di looked at the fragrant hand-torn meat strips in front of him, and after making sure that it would not cause any harm to his body, he tried to put it into his mouth. The taste was indeed good, and Luo Di slowly resisted the rejection and ate it with relish.

But while eating, I could still hear the sound of rats coming from inside the wall.

Filled my stomach.

As usual, Luo Di did some exercise to help digest his food, and finally he lit a pure white candle at the bedside and fell asleep peacefully.

Perhaps it was the sleep-inducing effect of the high-quality candles, perhaps it was the approach to the territory of the Prologue, or perhaps it was that he had adapted to hell and this life of rushing on the road.

Rody slept very soundly this time and even had a dream.

"Rodi, why are you still sleeping during class?"

There was a wave of criticism.

Luo Di suddenly propped himself up from the desk. He was actually back in the classroom of Class 5 of Grade . The logic teacher was looking at him at the blackboard.

After all, he was an excellent student. When the teacher saw Luo Di woke up, he stopped making things difficult for him and continued to write and draw on the blackboard.

Luo Di also subconsciously looked at his classmates, his former playmates, Gao Yuxuan, and the class monitor. They were all listening to the class attentively and staring at the blackboard.

However, Luo Di soon noticed a strange face sitting in the last row, a white-haired transfer student with a foreign face.

Strange yet familiar, Roddy seemed to have seen it somewhere.

at this time,

Noisy!
A sharp scraping sound came from the blackboard, as if someone was scratching it with fingernails.

As Luo Di looked at the blackboard, he found that the teacher was just writing with chalk, and the other students in the class seemed not to hear it and were still listening to the class attentively.

Just when Luo Di thought he had heard it wrong.

Noisy!
The sound of scratching the blackboard was heard again, and it became sharper, even causing some pain in Roddy's brain nerves.

The weird thing is, no one seemed to hear it.

however,
The scraping noises became louder and more frequent.

Luo Di finally couldn't stand it anymore and rushed to the podium to check the source of the sound. Strangely, there were no scratches on the blackboard, but the sound continued.

The sound came from within.

Luo Di ignored the teacher's dissuasion and simply tore down the entire blackboard.

really,

There are scratches all over the back of the blackboard, and there is a huge rat hole behind it.

at the same time,

The teacher's scolding voice also disappeared and turned into a noisy chattering sound.

Turn around and look.

The teacher was sitting in a mouth, and his teeth and tongue were no longer there, but were filled with rats.

Not only that, the same thing happened to all the students who were attending the lecture. Rats of varying sizes were crawling in their mouths and between their eye sockets, and there were even some newborn hairless mice sliding out of their nasal cavities.

Many rats have landed on the desks and the ground, destroying everything in the classroom with their sharp claws and fangs.

but,

The new female transfer student had already picked up a triangle ruler and a cone and started to kill the nearest rats, and she looked at Rody to invite him to join her.
