After turning a few corners, a small three-story building appeared in his sight.The walls were painted a nondescript pink, and there were no other decorations. Above the gate was a very old-fashioned plaque that read "Shengfu Hotel". Chen Xiao glanced at the gaps between each word, and easily thought, There is a "vertical heart" in front of the word "sheng", but it's just that it has been blown by wind and rain and I don't know where it fell.

Judging from the shape of this hotel, the boss definitely doesn't want to take care of it anymore. No wonder, there are generally only two types of guests in a hotel in this location, one is the driver who is sleepy on the highway, and the other is the driver who wants to stay. People who do "do not want to be found out", such as men and women in a special relationship, so it is useless to decorate the facade no matter how beautiful it is.

"Hmm... is this "abnormal object" in there?" Chen Xiao muttered, and at the same time observed the small building up and down, and then looked down at his own bandaged body. right hand.

"Uh! If there are any weird and dangerous creatures in this mission, it will be difficult." He murmured to himself...

Afterwards, he happily walked towards the hotel.

Pushing open the front door, there was an annoying sound of metal rubbing against each other, followed by a stale smell of old carpet, and he pinched his nose uncomfortably.

There is a hall in front of you, the floor has lost its original color for a long time, and there is a wooden bar directly opposite the gate. At this time, there is no one behind it. On the left is the stairs leading to the second floor, which is covered with old carpets. A stomp can kick up dust half a foot high.On the right is a half-open door with the word "restaurant" written on it. Next to the door is a vertical clock that is as tall as a person. At this moment, the time on it is 1:20 p.m.

Chen Xiao walked towards the vertical clock without even thinking about it.

"Ah...could it be this thing? It looks suspicious no matter how you look at it!" He said to himself, and then he started to look at the clock with his hands up and down, fumbled around, and found nothing special. I owed the "glass cover" to open, and fingered the pointer on the dial of Barabara.

Just when Chen Xiao was having a good time.

"Hey! What are you doing!!" A man's voice came from beside him.

Chen Xiao acted as if he hadn't heard it. He shook the pendulum again, not giving up, and found that there was nothing special. Then he put the "glass cover" on with a regretful face, and turned his head to glance at the " The man at the door of the restaurant.

Over 35 years old, with a big beer belly, a crumpled loose sweater, and some faded sweatpants underneath, the trousers were rolled up, revealing a hairy thigh, and a pair of slippers on the feet.

At this moment, he was frowning and looking at himself, his eyes paused at the corner of his mouth and the bandaged wrist respectively, and then he asked unfriendlyly: "Are you staying in a hotel?"

"I don't like sports, I haven't been out for a long time, I'm addicted to alcohol, I eat too much, I have a bad temper, but I'm not single, I've been married for about 10 years, my wife has a bad temper, and often quarrels, both rely on this building Living in a small hotel..." These unnutritious information appeared in Chen Xiao's mind.

In short, the other party, like all those who are almost middle-aged and have nothing to do, can't starve to death, but life will not have any color.

"It looks like this guy doesn't look like an "abnormal item" either." Chen Xiao thought to himself, and nodded: "Well...stay in the shop!"

Seeing that Chen Xiao was a customer, the other party softened his face a little, turned around and walked behind the bar, and took out a small notebook.

"How many days?" the boss asked.

"Three days!" Chen Xiao thought for a while and replied.

"The deposit is 600." The boss said without looking up.

......

After paying the deposit, the boss took out a key from the drawer and threw it to Chen Xiao, with the three numbers "201" marked on it.

Then Chen Xiao saw that the other party wrote a few strokes in that small notebook, although due to the angle of view, he couldn't see the contents of the notebook.But judging from the writing posture, the words "23rd...201...600...three days" were written.

"Go up, room 201, breakfast is free every day, lunch at 12 o'clock, dinner at 6 o'clock, 20 yuan a piece, all in the restaurant." The boss closed the notebook and said, then glanced at Chen Xiao, and added One sentence: "Don't do weird things, the bed sheets and quilts are stained, but you have to pay for it!"

"It's not going to happen..."

Chen Xiao replied with a slumped face, scanned the surrounding environment with his peripheral vision, and then walked upstairs.

The old wooden boards made a "creaking" sound. Chen Xiao quickly came to the second floor, and facing the stairs directly in front of this floor was a corridor, with a wall on the left and several closed doors on the right. There are three numbers "2" written on the house number of the room.

Chen Xiao raised his head and looked at the stairs leading to the third floor.

He looked again at the narrow and somewhat depressing corridor in front of him.

frowned.

For a few seconds, he felt the scene in front of him.

Deja vu

Chapter 88 Not three days and two sleeps!two

"Flashback"

This is a strange thinking phenomenon that occurs to many people.

Specifically speaking, it is the feeling that the things in front of you have been seen before, sometimes it is "memories", people can recall almost exactly the same situation they have experienced before; sometimes it is a special "familiarity", at this time you There is a sense of familiarity with what is in front of you, but you can't pinpoint its source.

For example, you are sitting in a cafe, and your friend is sitting opposite, and he is excitedly telling you something.suddenly!There is a strange feeling in your heart.The surrounding environment, the soft lighting, the words of friends, the tone of speech, all of a sudden became very familiar; this moment, this place, this scene, seems to have been completely experienced at some point in the past.

That's probably how it feels.

Many explanations have emerged for this phenomenon, including time travel, psychic powers, extradimensional space, hypnosis, insanity, and more.A more scientific explanation is "your brain deceives you." But in the final analysis, there is no clear answer to this phenomenon.

At this moment, Chen Xiao experienced such a momentary "memory flashback"

"Hmm..." He frowned, didn't continue to walk forward, but stood there without knowing what he was thinking, and spent a few seconds carefully observing the surrounding environment. He took out the key and opened the door of room "201".

......

There is nothing special about the door, the hinges are not too old, the switches don't make any noise, the room is not big, it looks clean, a double bed is placed in the middle, and there is a TV on the opposite wall Machine, the socket is pulled out at the moment, and on the other side is a single toilet with a shower head and a small window on the side.Chen Xiao walked to the window and could see an open space downstairs. At this moment, three family cars and a small truck were parked. There was no cargo on the truck.Judging from the car prints around, all of them had just been parked here for no more than three days.

"According to the location here, the probability of coming to stay in the store without driving is almost zero. You can't let people come here along the highway, that is to say, if one of them belongs to the boss, the I’m not counting myself in the hotel, there are already three groups of guests.” Chen Xiao thought, “Maybe, the “abnormal item” is among these three groups of guests.”

Therefore, Chen Xiao immediately made a decision.

He opened the window, opened the door, sat on the bed, put on a paralyzed expression, and looked out the window.

Then everyone should have guessed it, his decision is...do nothing!Sit and wait!

......

Although it looks boring, this is indeed the best and most convenient way now. Think about it, a guest who just moved in first pokes someone's clock on the first floor, and then wanders around with bandages on his hands , no matter how ugly he looks, no matter how weird his behavior is, it's like writing the words "I'm doing something" on his forehead. Then everyone will pay attention to him. "Abnormal item", it is estimated that it was immediately taken away by the police as a thief and robber.

So what is Chen Xiao waiting for?

He is waiting to eat!

Because as I said at the beginning, this place is really a bit remote, and there are no supermarkets and restaurants around, and the car on the open space behind the hotel shows that there should be a few people living in a certain room around him at this moment.

Then these people will probably eat in the restaurant downstairs.

Of course, just to be on the safe side, I also listened to the movement of the stairs and looked out the window by the way, which was much safer than pushing people's doors around.

Ado.

The time came to 6 pm.

During this period of time, Chen Xiao has been sitting, thinking wildly, counting the seconds, feeling the movement in the corridor, looking at the yard outside the window, listening to the sound of the door on the first floor being pushed open, shaking legs.
