Chapter 40 Mace's Hotel

"Crazy la la————”

The drizzle of rain fell from the sky and gradually grew bigger, from raindrops to fine raindrops, and then turned into bean-sized raindrops. In the blink of an eye, the world became foggy, as if wrapped in rain.

The three of them hurriedly walked forward in the streets of the town, stepping on footprints in the water, and their heels splashed with silver water.

Along the way, Mo Yun saw the residents of the town. They were all in a hurry, dressed roughly the same as Metz, all of which were woven with grass leaves and unknown plants. They were naked on their upper body and wearing straw hats to cover the rain.

Seeing Mo Yun and Chi Muyun, an old man stopped and stared at them with his eyes.

It seems to be looking at something new.

His gaze attracted more attention from people in the town.

More and more people are stopping.

They seemed to be unwilling to worry about the heavy rain in the sky, just staring at the two of them, and Mess who was leading the way in front.

As the eyes swept through, goose bumps appeared behind Mo Yun. It was not that he was warning him intuition, but that he simply felt uncomfortable.

The three of them seemed to have escaped and entered a small hotel on the side of the road.

"Bang!"

Mess closed the door casually, blocking all the weird sights and the heavy rain outside the house.

"call--"

Metz rubbed his hands and then lit the oil lamp.

A small flame lit up, and an orange-yellow light illuminated the house.

The hotel is divided into two floors: the first floor is the living room and the kitchen, and the second floor is the hotel room. Because this town has been isolated from the outside world for many years, there are actually no guests in the hotel, and Mess lives here alone.

"Don't care too much about them."

Metz said to the two who were a little scared, "They should be even more surprised than me. After all, no outsiders have come to the island for many years... Don't worry, they won't care too much... They didn't welcome me very much..."

Mo Yun approached the window and looked out quietly, and found that the street was empty.

The townspeople who had just stopped ran home to shelter from the rain.

A heavy rain fell from the sky and hit the streets, shattering into millions of raindrops, splashing hazy mist, covering the entire town in a mysterious and isolated atmosphere.

"Then your life should be difficult..." Chi Muyun said worriedly.

"Nothing, I'm used to it." Metz waved his hand, "When fishing, the uncles in the town will also give me some dried fish, so that my life can be done."

"Thank you for taking us in."

Mo Yun said gratefully, "If it weren't for you, we might have been soaked in heavy rain."

"It's okay, you're in trouble too." Mess smiled, and a sympathetic smile appeared on the energetic face. "The plane crashed on the sea and could only live on this deserted island without relatives."

"Indeed, we are both people who have fallen into the world."

Mo Yun also said with a smile.

"Then I'll take you to see the room upstairs." Mess lit another oil lamp and took them to the second floor.

The layout of the second floor is similar to that of the first floor. There are three rooms on both sides of the corridor. Mess casually opened the door to the middle room, and a dry and warm breath came to his face.

"Do you want to sleep with a room?" Metz asked.

"Yes, let's have a sleep." Chi Muyun answered first.

Mo Yun was a little surprised, but he did not show it in his expression, but smiled faintly, "One room, I'll disturb you."

"It's okay, don't bother."

Mess nodded casually, as if he had seen through the relationship between the two, "I live here alone, and it's also very lonely."

"Mess, who is in charge of the ships in the town?" Mo Yun asked.

"It's our captain, and the most prestigious Uncle Hall in the town."

"We want to visit him tomorrow to see if he can send us outside," Mo Yun said.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Metz nodded, "Uncle Hall is a little uncomfortable to talk to."

"Thank you really!"

Mo Yun felt relieved.

No matter what, as long as the locals help, this matter will be much easier.

At least, he and Chi Muyun now have a place to live, safe and no longer be disturbed by wind and rain. Moreover, they also met a kind-hearted peer like Metz. He immediately felt much more at ease.

"Then you have a good rest."

Metz nodded, "It's dark, it's time for me to go and rest."

"OK."

After Mace finished speaking, he turned around and left.

The footsteps rang out, and Mo Yun heard him go down to the first floor.

Then the footsteps disappeared.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and Mo Yun closed the door gently.

He turned around and placed the oil lamp on the table in the room.

The small orange-red fire shaking gently, covering the whole room in a warm atmosphere. There was a single bed next to the window in the room. The bed was very clean and there was no dust on the ground. Metz should clean it here frequently.

"You said... what Mess said..." Chi Muyun asked softly.

"It seems normal at first, but I always feel something strange." Mo Yun narrowed his eyes.

"I feel the same way," Chi Muyun said, "That's why I think living with you should be safer."

"Well, those people in the town just now..."

Mo Yun felt chill when he thought of those strange sights.

"Maybe it's because I haven't seen a stranger for too long." Chi Muyun whispered.

"It's possible, but..."

Mo Yun looked down at the floor under his feet, and it looked spotless and very neat.

"Since no one has come to live for many years, why does Metz clean the guest rooms so clean? There is not even a little dust on the floor and windowsills." He whispered.

"This... maybe he lives here sometimes?" Chi Muyun said.

"Maybe." Mo Yun shrugged, "Our mission is to explore the island. Since we have discovered this town, we must find a boat to go back by ourselves in the future... Thinking of this, tomorrow's action may not go too smoothly."

Mo Yun analyzed calmly.

"Let's take a look at each step, at least Metz is very good to us." The girl said softly.

"Well, let's take a break early, too."

Mo Yun thought for a while, "Take a turn to watch?"

"Okay." The girl nodded slightly.

Although it is theoretically safe here, it is in a completely unfamiliar place after all, and it is absolutely not possible without a little bit of defense. After experiencing two survival games, Mo Yun and Chi Muyun are both very vigilant and will not easily trust anyone - even if Metz did not show any malice, they still let them live in their hotel.

"Then you are the middle of the night before and I am the middle of the night?"

"Okay." Chi Muyun nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Mo Yun was not polite and lay directly on the bed, put his spear on the head, used a straw mat as a pillow, placing it under his head, lying on the bed, and quietly closing his eyes.

Because of his high mental tension, he felt his whole body relax after lying down, and soon he entered a half-sleeping and half-awake state.

Chi Muyun sat on the chair next to the table and quietly watched the heavy rain outside the window.

The sound of rain kept coming in through the crack in the window.

Time passes by minute by minute.

About midnight, the sound of rain became smaller, but Mo Yun was awakened by a strange sound. The sound seemed to be coming from the next door, and it seemed to be sounding downstairs. In short, this strange sound made him wake up immediately.

"What's going on?"

He stood up and looked at Chi Muyun, and found that the girl had already grabbed the stone knife vigilantly.

She shook her head silently.

The sound was still ringing, and this time he heard it clearly, as if it was coming from the room next door.

Moreover, there seemed to be sounding in the rooms on both sides.

"Squeak-gulu-gulu-"

It was an indescribable sound, like the low roar of a creature, or the sound of a liquid splashing, like a monster constantly rubbing against the wall with its claws, or like a non-human creature talking in strange language.

In the quiet night, this sound seemed particularly weird and terrifying.

"What's going on? Didn't Mess say, aren't there anyone living here?"
