The first thousand and sixty-nine chapters of the strange hotel(2/2)
"I don't have the three or four yuan you mentioned." Feng Quan is not stupid. He certainly knows that this boss deserves more than ordinary money.
After thinking for a moment, he took out a red ghost candle and said, "I can use this candle as a trade-off for you, if you are willing to tell me the secret here."
"Inspect the goods first."
Boss Liu looked at the red candle and became curious. His eyes lit up slightly, as if he had seen something new.
"Okay." Feng Quan threw the red ghost candle to him.
Boss Liu took it, put it directly in front of his nose and smelled it several times from beginning to end.
"There are ashes, corpse oil, blood, and..."
Suddenly.
He put down the red ghost candle and smiled: "Yes, it's a good item. It's a pity that it can't be burned, but it's worth some money. It's just that one is not enough. How about another one? This thing is not a rare thing. I have the raw materials."
It can also be made.”
"Just one, it's gone." Feng Quan said.
"Your shovel is an antique. It's very rare. Give it to me. I won't count the cost of beating my servant to death, and I'll give you another seven dollars. How about it?" Boss Liu searched and searched without knowing where he came from.
I took out a piece of paper money.
Colorful and colorful.
It was actually a seven-yuan denomination.
It is exactly the same as the piece of paper money Yang Jian had before.
"This is a seven-dollar bill. It's rare for you to see it once in your life. Smell it. It smells like serious money. It smells so good. I could have given you the entire coffin I had saved for half my life." He said as he said.
while staring at Feng Quan's shovel.
Obviously, in his eyes, nothing is as important as that broken shovel.
"I said this thing is not for sale. If you want, you can come and rob it. If you kill me, this thing will be yours. It depends on whether the boss has such ability." Feng Quan said.
How could he sell this supernatural item? It was a life-saving thing.
However, Boss Liu had no intention of grabbing it. He sighed, silently put away the seven yuan, and then put away the red ghost candle: "That's it, that's all, I suffered a little loss today. What I did just now
Forget about the servants, if the old ones don't go and the new ones don't come, sooner or later they will be of use, and it would be unkind for me to compare myself with juniors like you."
"You don't care, but my question is not over. You are from Taiping Ancient Town and are involved in the supernatural world. How much do you know about the ghost lake?" Feng Quan asked seriously.
"The headquarters has sent several captains to investigate. If you don't tell me, the secrets here will be revealed sooner or later. If you cooperate a little, the impact may be reduced and fewer people will die."
Boss Liu rolled his eyes: "I'm talking nonsense, but I don't dare to talk nonsense about some things. Saying it will be harmful to you young people. You can't handle the ghost lake thing. It's best to withdraw quickly. That's not
If you had come here earlier, I would have stopped you and told you not to die."
"How do you say that?" Feng Quan asked next.
Boss Liu looked outside the store.
But I couldn't see clearly, the place was shrouded in thick fog, and even the gate disappeared in the thick fog.
Boss Liu slowly took out a tea cup from under the counter and filled it with water: "This is the ghost lake you are talking about."
Then he grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the small dish next to him and said, "This is a ghost."
Then he put the melon seeds into the water cup one by one: "When ghosts enter the ghost lake, they will sink."
A melon seed fell into a glass of water and quickly sank to the bottom of the glass.
"One or two is fine, it won't affect anything." Boss Liu kept throwing in the melon seeds one by one.
"But if there are too many, the water in the water glass will overflow."
After throwing seven or eight melon seeds in, the water in the water glass overflowed along the edge and flowed onto the counter.
"The overflowing water is the supernatural event you are talking about, but if this situation continues, the water will keep overflowing." Boss Liu said and threw the melon seeds into the water glass one after another.
When Feng Quan saw this situation, he was shocked: "Is this the truth about why the ghost lake is out of control?"
It turns out that the ghost lake carried too many ghosts, so the ghost lake got out of control.
No wonder the Ghost Lake Incident was inconspicuous at the beginning, but then the incident gradually escalated until it is now an S-level supernatural incident.
Boss Liu grinned: "The water is not delicious, but the melon seeds are also difficult to eat. Everything has its limits. What should happen will definitely happen. It is inevitable. Do you understand? I am also unlucky. I am not old enough.
No matter how young you are, you can live for more than ten years even if you are old. I don’t know what the world will be like in more than ten years.”
"There's no way to solve it?" Feng Quan asked.
"There is no cure for the root cause, but you can treat the symptoms." Boss Liu reached out and took out all the melon seeds from the water glass, and then took another sip of water.
The water in the water glass dropped and did not overflow again.
"That's absolutely impossible." Feng Quan understood Boss Liu's method.
Salvage the ghosts in the ghost lake, and then reduce the ghosts in the ghost lake.
In this case, the outbreak of this supernatural incident can be delayed.
But even so, it is very, very difficult.
"So, I'd better open a shop in peace and make money, continue to save the coffin book, and stop messing around." Boss Liu shook his head and said.
Feng Quandao: "Is there any other way besides this? You said before that everything is sold on the ghost street. Is there any way to solve the ghost lake..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Boss Liu suddenly hissed: "Quiet, there is someone coming from town."
"Um?"
Feng Quan's expression moved slightly, and he immediately looked in the direction outside the gate.
The thick fog is lifting.
It's like a gaping hole has been opened.
A path appeared for one person to pass through. At this time, a lamp lit up on the street outside. A slightly hunchbacked one-eyed old man holding an oil lamp opened the door and came in.
As soon as he came in, there was a smell of paper dust around him.
It's like I just came back from burning paper.
"Boss Liu, why haven't the dead people been carried out yet?" the one-eyed old man said sternly.
"My servant died, so there was a delay. I will transport it out later." Boss Liu said hurriedly, smiling politely.
The one-eyed old man's pale one eye turned strangely, looking at Feng Quan, and then at the shovel in his hand: "A person who is mostly buried in the soil is quite rare."
"Are you an old resident of Taiping Town?" Feng Quan said with a cold face: "Are you also a member of the supernatural circle?"
"He lives in a hotel, and he has never been to town." Boss Liu said something at this moment.
The one-eyed old man stopped talking, just turned around and left with the lamp in hand: "The body cannot be left here, it must be transported out quickly."
"That's good luck, that's good luck." Boss Liu nodded repeatedly.
The door is closed.
The thick fog closed and the one-eyed old man left.
A dim oil lamp swayed on the street outside, not even the ghosts and fog could corrode it.
"Don't worry, guest. Although he has a bad temper, he can only control the town. This is not part of Taiping Ancient Town, so he can't control it. He just wandered over to my place to ask about the situation. It has nothing to do with you." Boss Liu added after that.
He stood up by the kerosene lamp.
"I'm going to transport the two corpses. Can you help me?"
Feng Quan's eyes moved slightly and he hesitated for a moment: "Okay."
The ghostly fog around him quickly dissipated, and he followed Boss Liu and walked upstairs to the hotel, preparing to move out the two unfinished corpses.
But he didn't want to move the body, but took this opportunity to better understand the secrets here.
However, Feng Quan was filled with worries.
The actions of the captains are definitely dangerous and unsatisfactory at this moment.
His concerns are correct.
now.
Above the ghost lake.
Yang Jian, Shen Lin, Li Jun, Liu San, and A Hong stood on a small black wooden boat. The lake around them was densely filled with floating corpses.
None of these bodies were decomposed.
And as time passed, some corpses began to make some unusual movements.
A female corpse suddenly opened her eyes, which were gray and pale.
A female corpse opened her mouth and let out a weird laugh, as if she was talking in her sleep.
Some female corpses turned over in the water, causing a splash of water.
On the stern of the ship.
