1148 “The quick-traveling girl is ready to knock down the male protagonist” Young Marshal, I think I can still save a little 68 modified chapters
byAlthough Qi Haotian did not name him, everyone present knew that the person he asked was the little boy who seemed to have the least strength in the game.
The air was quiet for a moment, until when passing through the corridor, I remembered the familiar voice of the boy. It was no longer the kind of sharp voice that could pinch the throat. I felt sensitively that this was the brother, and the so-called sister was probably him, but neither of them knew that there was still the person they had been looking for living in their bodies.
“You have also seen that if you want to go upstairs, you can choose the two staircases on the left and right. They can both lead to the upstairs and the hall. We went up from the far right, so the first room is No. 14, then 13, 12, 11, 10, 09, 08, 07, 06, 05, 04, 03, 02, until 01 on the far left.”
Qi Haotian frowned, thinking deeply about the difference in numbers in this room. He seemed to be thinking about some questions. He did not interrupt for the first time and allowed the boy to continue the introduction.
“The most powerful and distinguished guests in Xiangcheng live in rooms 14 to 11, and old guests who never check out live in rooms 01 to 06.” The boy’s light words rang in the quiet corridor, and for some reason Zhou Sensitive felt flustered.
“As for the four rooms in the middle, they are naturally reserved for guests who come here through introduction.” The boy said with a smile.
“You live in No. 4! The numbers above were all designed by you guests who didn’t check out.”
It was not a question but an affirmation. Qi Haotian walked along the corridor, his eyes occasionally scanning the rooms on the left and right of the corridor, seemingly deliberately and casually, until he stopped at the door of Room 10. He had already walked to their own room and was about to go forward when he heard a strange banging sound of knives and axes coming from downstairs. It was so loud that it was difficult to ignore it.
“Why do you think so?” The boy seemed to have deliberately ignored the weird banging sound downstairs, but raised his head obediently. There was a slight rupture in the expression on his face, looking up at Qi Haotian’s calm gaze.
Qi Haotian pointed at the diagonally opposite door. The number 04 was still very clear even though there was a distance, and then pointed at the boy’s abdomen. “I remember that the number on your copper coin is a special kind of compilation. It is engraved on it.””4, and the female boss said before that you are a regular guest and you have a room number. It’s not difficult to guess. I just can’t figure it out. Is this number 4 a simple room number or does it have some other special meaning?”
“Oh?” The boy became more and more curious about this man with the same kind of aura. He was so beautiful and powerful. It was really fascinating.
The boy did not explain, but just stared at Qi Haotian, as if he expected that Qi Haotian would have something to say.
“Rooms 01 to 06 are said to be permanently reserved and always occupied. But when the female boss gave us the keys, I accidentally saw the remaining keys in the cabinet, including the keys to the six rooms that will never be rented out. Since the guests from 01 to 06 will never check out, why does the boss have the keys to their rooms here? If it is just a spare, then how can the female boss emphasize to us again and again that old guests like privacy?, This is very contradictory.After all, people who like private space will not like someone holding a backup key to their room.Therefore, this must not be a backup, but the original key, but the fact that the six guests gave the keys to the boss is contrary to the information the boss said during the introduction.Unless there is something more important to them than the key.” Qi Haotian said, but the smile on the corner of the boy’s mouth became deeper.
“What could be more important than the key?” the boy tilted his head and asked with a smile.
“Yeah, what’s more important than the privacy of the key? I’m also very curious. I knew it when I saw you collecting the room number so carefully. That copper coin should be for you old guests.The thing I care about most.As for the key… it may be dispensable to you.As for the boss’s repeated emphasis on your preference for privacy, I always feel that it is a bit inconsistent, but I can’t figure it out at the moment.”
“When the boss met us, he knew that we were not from Xiangcheng. It can be seen that the locals in Xiangcheng keep this hotel a secret, not in the records but in word of mouth. And it was actually an accident that we met you., I kept you because of the request of a fool.So, in fact, many things are coincidences, and this coincidence makes it impossible for you to confess privately, so a lot of information is considered first-hand information, and the authenticity is greater.”
Qi Haotian’s lips curled up into a smile, “The wound on your abdomen has been torn and stitched repeatedly over the years. The traces of wiring and disassembly from rawness to skill are not something that a ten-year-old child can easily do. The scars are not easy to get old. The threads required for suturing are specific to surgical operations. Anti-inflammatory drugs and surgical threads are always available at the counter of a hotel.The boss’s habitual behavior and the subsequent behavior of handing over the medicine are all too natural.Presumably, you are more accustomed to taking the room number than taking the key.In other words, you, the guests, actually don’t like locking the door… The key is more like a decoration for you, and the copper coin is a symbol of your status, or the use of something.”
The boy said nothing and looked at Qi Haotian, just smiling. Qi Haotian didn’t mind either and looked at Room 04 not far away, “Besides, you guys also have a crazy desire to show off. The person who made the copper coins for the hotel and the person who engraved the room number are the same person. This sharp blade cannot be made without decades of craftsmanship.”
Qi Haotian lowered his head, “So, privacy is more like the information the boss wants to provide me, but this information is a bit like fishing bait. If you meet someone who is very curious, this bait will be a life-threatening knife.”
The boy smiled and was very happy. He didn’t seem to be afraid at all, and he didn’t mind the fact that the hotel owner was deliberately baiting him. After being exposed by Qi Haotian, he clapped his hands very excitedly, “Brother, you are so awesome. You are more fun than them.”
“Them?” Qi Haotian’s eyes changed slightly after hearing this, “Are they other old guests?”
“Yes.” The boy’s innocent words gave Zhou Min goosebumps all over his body.
“The mother of the hotel owner lives in Room 01. There is a photo of herself and the hotel owner in her room. This person seems to have spare keys to the back and front door of the hotel. However, this old lady has anorexia, so she has a bad temper. There is a girl who loves to laugh living in Room 02.But he is a man who doesn’t like to talk much. He especially likes to make all kinds of clothes for dolls and then give away the dressed dolls. The more he likes the person, the more beautiful the dolls he gives.Maybe he doesn’t like me very much, so I have never received any gifts from him.”
While the boy was chatting, he suddenly felt a little frustrated, and then he seemed to have thought better of it, and continued with a smile, “There is a woman living in Room 03. She wears very revealing clothes. She is very good-looking, but she always feels that she is not good-looking, so she hates good-looking people…especially women.” At this point, the boy looked at Zhou Min, who was stunned by the boy’s weird eyes.
Qi Haotian took a step forward, blocking the boy’s eyes from looking at Zhou Min. Zhou Min hid behind Qi Haotian and felt a sense of security, without the feeling of being stared at by a wild beast.
The boy shrugged indifferently to Qi Haotian’s actions. At this time, Xiang Jieming had already let go of the boy, and the boy put his hands behind his back cutely, looking like an old scholar, “As for room No. 05? There is a disabled person living there, not muchHe is so talkative. Anyway, he has never spoken to me, but he likes to make sculptures. Although he is disabled, he never thinks that he is disabled.He often tells the people in Room 6 that he is in pain.By the way, I forgot to mention that there is a doctor living in Room 6. ”
“When we occasionally meet, the doctor is very gentle and soft-spoken. He often takes clients into his room and gives them free medical treatment. However, there are always screams in the room of such a gentle doctor in the middle of the night, which makes me unable to sleep well sometimes and makes me very irritable.”
“As for rooms 14 to 11, those people from Xiangcheng are so annoying… Every time they have an event, those people will move in and secretly discuss things. Every time there will be one or two official representatives, armed with guns. Every time they walk in front of us, they have to show off, but… giggle…” When the boy said this, he didn’t know what he thought of, but he actually covered his mouth, like a cute hamster, and laughed.
However, Zhou Min didn’t think the boy’s expression at this time was cute. On the contrary, it felt scary. Even Xiang Jieming looked at the boy with complicated eyes.
“Why don’t you ask me ‘what’?” The boy smiled enough and looked at the three people around him curiously. He seemed a little dissatisfied that they were not curious.
“I’m not interested in the consequences of people who like to seek death.” Qi Haotian’s indifferent words seemed to make the boy happy. He clapped his hands and danced happily, “Yes, yes, he is seeking death. There will be so many of them at this time every time. They will take the trouble and never stop. It is very fun.”
“So according to the previous rules, there will be official representatives this time.” Qi Haotian ignored the boy’s nervousness at this time, grasped the key points in his words, and evaluated the advantages and disadvantages they could control at this time.
As for the truth or falsehood of the boy’s words, Qi Haotian didn’t doubt it, but combined with the boy’s feeling of mental abnormality, he seemed to be afraid of the world being unstable, watching the fire from the other side, and liked to pass the knife to kill people. There was no distinction between friend and foe, only whether it was fun or not.
Obviously, the boy regarded them as a supplement and condiment for his boring time.
Going to the theater is more lively and fun when there are more people.
“You have heard about many old customers, but what about you? What do you like?” Qi Haotian suddenly asked, making the boy’s eyes sparkle with excitement. The fingertips on his side seemed to be itchy, so he could only keep rubbing them on his clothes, but the itching in his heart did not weaken at all because of his actions. On the contrary, every second he looked at Qi Haotian, it became more and more difficult to control.
“Then, can you give it to me?” The boy’s cold and paranoid voice was like the strings of an erhu, a bit harsh. His eyes were fixed on Qi Haotian. When the whites of his eyes seemed to start to turn red, in the corridor near Room 14 on the right where they came up, there was a sudden shot of a shotgun going off.
Zhou Min trembled all over and spat out, “Gunshot?!”
“What’s going on?” Xiang Jieming was also shocked by this situation, and looked back at Qi Haotian in surprise.
The sudden gunshot not only confused Zhou Min and Xiang Jieming for a moment, but also the boy’s uncomfortable expression returned to normal.
Qi Haotian looked at the source of the gunfire, which was Room 14 they had just passed. The door was obviously closed, but at this time gunshots were heard from behind the door.
“Brother Hao, what’s going on?”
Qi Haotian patted the back of Zhou Min’s hand that was tightly grasping his sleeve, and handed a key to Xiang Jieming, “Here is the key. You stay in the room opposite me. The boy will go back to his room, and Zhou Min and I will go back to the room to sleep.”
Qi Haotian’s indifferent appearance of not hearing anything outside the window shocked Zhou Min, “No, why don’t you go ask the boss? Didn’t she say that the hotel is safe? This… this gunshot…”
“Third Young Master, you really don’t need to worry about it? This hotel is full of weirdness, those old guests…” When Xiang Jieming said about the old guests, he glanced at the boy for some reason, but the boy seemed to pretend not to notice Xiang Jieming’s strange look, “I am very good and obedient, I am a good person, and I am the same as you guys.”
“Those old customers are afraid that it will be difficult to control them for our use. It is better to find the official people first, after all…” Before Xiang Jieming could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qi Haotian, who knew what Xiang Jieming meant.
Ordinary people, when encountering trouble, will immediately seek help from the authorities, such as police officers, as if the authorities represent good people. Although they are warlords, all warlords claim to be to ‘end’ troubled times and ‘save’ all people.Therefore, it is most natural for them to cooperate with the authorities.After all, we are all on the side of justice, and it will be easier to negotiate with friends after sharing the ‘results’.
The only difference is that ‘justice’ also has its own ‘name’.
After giving Xiang Jieming the key and stopping what he was about to say, Qi Haotian glanced at the boy and said, “You are also an old acquaintance here, and you have your own room, so you don’t need me to arrange it. You can do whatever you want.”
“Aren’t you afraid that I will run away?” the boy asked with a smile.
