535: Chapter 533: The Old Hotel 535: Chapter 533: The Old Hotel In the southeastern part of Furong River City, there stood a dilapidated hotel with a bar on the ground floor and accommodations above.
The sign over the door was covered in dust, and so of the letters were even missing, which is why over ti it ca to be known as the Old Hotel.
Yet this rundown Old Hotel boasted a great reputation in the underworld of Furong River City.
This place was a truce zone for all the underground forces in Furong River City and the surrounding areas.
The manager was a mysterious bald old man who had connections everywhere in Furong River City, dealing with both the lawful and the lawless.
Whether it was gang vendettas, being targeted by assassins, or even being wanted by the police, one could take refuge here… as long as they could afford the exorbitant lodging fee of ten thousand yuan per day.
At this mont, Guo Shengye was staying on the third floor of the Old Hotel because Mirror Nightmare had once spoken personally with the owner, so Guo Shengye didn’t have to pay.
The guests here were mostly ruthless criminals, but not a single one dared to break the hotel’s rules, as those who did had all ended up dead.
In the cramped guest room beyond the opened door, the floor was littered with scattered papers, each bearing the sa face.
Holding a mirror, Guo Shengye pasted a paper with the face of Mirror Nightmare on it and snarled fiercely, “Why did you drive out… Let back in, let back in!”
Since his girlfriend’s suicide, Guo Shengye had developed a perverse attachnt to Mirror Nightmare, one that had even twisted into sothing deranged.
Mirror Nightmare could make his sketchbooks sell well, and he, in turn, could kill for Mirror Nightmare without changing his expression.
For the current Guo Shengye, there were only two aningful things in this world, the first was his comic career, and the second was being with Mirror Nightmare.
Guo Shengye’s roar made the other guests on the sa floor sowhat disgruntled, wanting to co out and warn Guo Shengye to keep it down.
But upon seeing Guo Shengye’s frenzied state, they all silently retreated.
Guo Shengye, who had perford many blood sacrifices using human lives, beca extrely dangerous once agitated.
Those taking refuge here didn’t want to provoke soone like Guo Shengye.
…
Downstairs in the bar, the bald manager heard the shouts from above and shook his head helplessly.
If it weren’t for that eerie monster in the mirror, he would never want to shelter this lunatic.
Getting involved with supernatural matters could easily lead to a tragic end.
However, this didn’t an the lunatic could disturb the hotel’s environnt, so he picked up a small wooden mallet, ready to go upstairs and set Guo Shengye straight.
Just as he rose and reached the staircase, the bald manager stopped and turned to look at the hotel’s main entrance.
A man in a light-colored cloak pushed open the door and entered, that man was Wen Wen.
“We’re fully booked, I regret to inform you…”
“I’m here to find soone,” Wen Wen handed over a photo as he said.
Wen Wen followed the trail of Guo Shengye’s qi easily and found where Guo Shengye was hiding, but upon reaching the hotel entrance, he discovered that the hotel was no simple establishnt.
There was a special barrier outside the hotel that could block the perceptions of superpower users and prevent them from entering silently.
He had known about the Old Hotel before, but had never paid much attention to it, yet he hadn’t expected it to actually be rather remarkable.
Realizing Wen Wen was here for Guo Shengye made the bald manager’s heart skip a beat.
Anyone drawn here by that creepy creature was not likely to be easily dealt with, but still he spoke righteously to Wen Wen, “Sorry, but we can’t disclose our guests’ personal information.”
Wen Wen leaned on the bar, picked up a bottle of alcohol, and gently swayed it as he said, “What if I said I’m a Demon Hunter?”
“No matter who it is, this establishnt…”
Wen Wen interrupted him, impatiently saying, “I am a reasonable person.
What do you want to let pass?
If it’s money you want, just na your price.”
Seeing Wen Wen’s deanor, the bald shop owner’s temper flared up.
His shop had been open for over a decade, and rarely did anyone dare to be so bold here.
“As long as he stays here, he is under the protection of this establishnt.
That’s the rule!”
In fact, this rule was not that strict, but Mirror Nightmare had threatened him before, saying that if he dared to hand over Guo Shengye, he would surely kill him.
Compared to the relatively legitimate Demon Hunters, the bald shop owner was even more afraid of the eerie Mirror Nightmare.
“Having rules is good.
I too am soone who likes rules.”
Wen Wen nodded, then pulled so items out of his cloak and neatly placed them on the table—they were bombs!
“What are you planning to do?” the bald shop owner asked in astonishnt.
Wen Wen smiled viciously and said, “If this inn no longer existed, would you still have to follow the rules?”
Seeing that Wen Wen was about to light the fuse of the bombs, the anxious bald shop owner imdiately struck at Wen Wen with a small wooden hamr he held in his hand.
The hamr grew larger as it swung through the air, and by the ti it reached in front of Wen Wen, the face of the hamr had a diater of one ter!
Wen Wen casually blocked the hamr with his hand and then looked at the shop owner with slight surprise.
The force of that hamr blow was among the top of the Disaster Level Monsters.
And to Wen Wen’s view, this shop owner was at best a novice who had just stepped into the superpower world, so this power had to co from the hamr!
Wen Wen waved his hand to form a Water Poker card and flicked it towards the bald shop owner’s wrist, trying to snatch the hamr to study it.
Then a tal wristband on the shop owner’s wrist lit up and directly shattered Wen Wen’s Water Poker into droplets!
Even though Wen Wen had controlled his strength to avoid cutting off the shop owner’s wrist, being able to deflect the Water Poker so cleanly ant that the tal wristband was also sothing valuable.
How could such a superpower user, who at best was in the Exploration Realm, have two such valuable items?
No, perhaps not just two!
Wen Wen’s eyes lit up as he looked at the shop owner.
He hadn’t expected to just casually co to capture Guo Shengye and accidentally encounter such an interesting person.
Realizing that his hamr had not subdued Wen Wen, the bald shop owner was imdiately filled with regret.
In Furong River City, there were hardly a few who could face down his hamr without changing expression.
This person was completely unfamiliar, perhaps a…
Ranger!
“Cough, cough, as long as you don’t blow up my inn, I’ll let you take him away,” the bald shop owner imdiately changed his deanor after discovering Wen Wen’s strength.
A wise man does not eat the loss in front of him.
The guy in front seed even more terrifying than that mirror monster.
Dealing rationally with the mirror monster might spare him from reprisal.
Wen Wen put away the bombs, rested his elbow on the bar, and looked at the bald shop owner with a smile that was not a smile, saying, “You’re quite sensible, but now I’m more interested in you.”
The bald shop owner’s expression stiffened; he knew Wen Wen had taken an interest in his treasures.
“The items on are all lent to by Master Red Beard for my use.
You can take him away, but I advise you not to think about touching these things.”
“Master Red Beard?” Wen Wen was even more interested.
