Capítulo 654: Chapter 636: Pumpkin
“Goodbye, landlord!”
The “impurity” in the bathroom has already left through the drain.
Frank only started explaining after confirming that the sounds within the drain had completely disappeared:
“Today’s landlord is a bit different; he seems very concerned about your arrival. Although the inn is a part of his body, he usually doesn’t pay much attention to what’s happening here.
It’s like how we don’t spend much ti focused on our internal organs, being more aware of the external world.
Today, the landlord seems to have been observing from the mont you arrived until now, which is why he specially ca out to explain just now.
He’s actually provided you with an opportunity to beco a permanent resident, which was absolutely impossible before.
And you’re not the Green Gate, Luo Di, you’re not even a monster.”
“Ah, is that so?” Luo Di scratched his head, but he really likes this place himself, and it’s a pretty good choice to have a place to rest here.
The reason is quite simple.
The guestroom corresponding to the bathroom door is his old ho in Jupiter City, almost perfectly recreated 1:1.
Plus, there are various movie posters and decorations added.
The only thing that’s a bit strange is,
this is a “double room” opened by Luo Di and Wu Wen, so it should be created according to their common factors, but what is presented is Luo Di’s ho.
Frank also walked into the living room, looking around, he saw the group photo on the wall and the different sized slippers in the shoe cupboard.
“This should be your old ho, right?”
“Yes.”
Frank sat on the sofa, seemingly having so mories as well: “I used to live on a country farm, the most frequent dealings were with pumpkins.
Picking pumpkins, moving pumpkins, delivering pumpkins, making pumpkins, everything was related to pumpkins.
Whenever Halloween was approaching, people from the town would co to the farm to buy pumpkins, and our ho’s pumpkins were the fullest and best-looking.
Thus, the town signed an agreent with our family, ensuring we’d earn a big sum during the holiday.
And so, during Halloween, our family would be particularly busy, I had no chance to experience it myself.
At that ti, I often complained, but thinking back now, wasn’t that life quite good?”
Luo Di suddenly threw out the question he’s been curious about all along, “Frank, how did you beco a Pseudo-Person? If it’s inconvenient, you don’t have to answer.”
Frank didn’t mind; he flicked his forehead with his finger,
“Our family’s pumpkin business was doing too well, it made our ‘neighbors’ at the farm next door envious.
There was a drunkard who often ca to our house to make a ruckus, later my father called the police, and they indeed caught him, but it was only a temporary detention.
Then when he was released, he ca to our house with a gun that very night.
In front of , he killed my mom, dad, and my two-year-old sister.
When it was my turn, his gun jamd.
I kept running, running into the pumpkin field I’m most familiar with… I kept running until I couldn’t run anymore, accidentally falling and hitting my head on a pumpkin.
Then I heard a sound,
The sound of the corner,
At the sa ti, I heard footsteps of soone coming behind.
When the police arrived the next day, that person had eaten all the pumpkins in the field, or rather, I forced him to eat them, after all, he was jealous of our pumpkins.
If only I could have connected with the corner sooner, maybe mom, dad, and my sister wouldn’t have died. However, if that hadn’t happened, I might still be growing pumpkins now.
Hehe~ Anyway, that’s how it is, occasionally dreaming of old mories is enough, life is pretty good now.”
Luo Di also sat down, pointing to the dining table, “My family also died at ho, right at the dining table… It’s a pity the one who killed them wasn’t an ordinary person, but a Pseudo-Person.
I’ve been working hard, but to this day, I haven’t been able to personally cut them down.”
Frank looked in the direction of the finger, he seed to really see headless bodies sitting around the dining table, and saw a boy returning ho from school standing at the doorway.
He could truly empathize, even the pumpkin on his head seed to have fully ripened.
“Is the Pseudo-Person… still alive?”
“Alive?”
“Luo Di, with your current strength, there’s still no chance? Who is it?”
“Soon there will be a chance.”
Frank originally wanted to ask for specific information and provide assistance, but looking at Luo Di’s expression and listening to his tone, he didn’t continue to ask.
Imdiately afterward,
Frank uncovered his pumpkin head, scooping out two cups of sweet pumpkin porridge from inside.
“Want a drink?”
“Sure.”
They clinked glasses and drank.
The refreshing sweetness instantly cleared the negative emotions from their minds.
Thoughts jumped back from the past, returning to this special Screaming Inn.
“By the way, Frank… speaking of your accommodation, do you use the toilet as the exit too?”
“That’s right, whether temporary or permanent residents use the toilet as a benchmark.
Luo Di, after all, you’re still human; there’s likely a psychological repulsion towards ‘toilet’ as a place.
However, the toilet is the landlord’s favorite elent, it’s also a concept that we Green Door Monsters need to accept and recognize the most.
What is a toilet?
Any form of civilization, once ford, will inevitably give rise to the concept of a toilet.
This is a physiological and conscious interaction gathering place, no matter at what level of humanity, they cannot escape the convergence here.
All tabolic products from life activities must be released and gathered here, this is the daily summary of life activities.
It’s a pilgrimage place that creatures should respect, but it’s treated as a place of impurity by conceited humans, it’s a desecration of life, representing the ignorance of the small.
Therefore, the landlord corrected this.
If Luo Di you can accept and understand, it might be beneficial for you to beco a monster and understand the monster.”
“Ah… okay, I’ll try to understand.”
Frank seed to have gotten quite into the chat; looking at the ti, it was actually almost three o’clock, “Oh no! I originally said I’d be in the dorms by 1:30, sleep until 3:30, and head to the cafeteria to chop vegetables, but now I’m running out of ti.
Going back to my place from here will take about ten minutes, there’s no ti to rest.
Luo Di, I’ll take a nap here until 3:40 and then we’ll leave on ti.”
“Alright.”
The pumpkin head fell directly down, and aside from the strange, plant-like rustling snores, there was also so fragrant juice seeping from the pumpkin head.
Luo Di couldn’t help but comnt, “This guy doesn’t seem like a so-called monster at all, and he’s a Green Door Monster…”
Wu Wen responded, “Powerful monsters more or less retain their humanity, Frank’s nature is very kind, yet he knows how to protect himself.
Such a monster, wherever it goes, is liked, no wonder the landlord keeps him here.
Luo Di, are you tired?”
“Not really tired~ Yesterday, although I went to Corner Depths with Gust, the rest was still ample enough.”
“Want to watch a movie? If it’s a perfect recreation, maybe there are even DVDs.”
“Hmm!? I’ll go check.”
Heading to the master bedroom, it was perfectly recreated too; a place Luo Di often dread about, a crucial ntal turning point.
He indeed found old DVDs in the closet.
All at once, it felt like returning to the night more than two years ago, back to the day when they first spent the night at ho.
Frank was sleeping deeply, having forgotten to set an alarm.
Luo Di was fully imrsed in the movie, completely putting the vegetable chopping responsibility aside.
Unconsciously, the second movie had already ended.
Frank twisted his body, gradually waking up, only to find his fatigue completely swept away; he hadn’t slept so comfortably in a long ti.
But he imdiately realized a problem.
“Luo Di, are you watching movies? What ti is it now!”
“Ah? I didn’t check the ti?”
Frank quickly raised his arm, looked at the cartoon pumpkin-shaped watch, staring at the number [7], imdiately wanting to bash his head against the wall.
…
Fourth Middle School.
School cafeteria.
Hunter was receiving all the diners coming to eat alone today, and the quality of today’s dishes noticeably declined.
After completing the last reception,
He sat alone in the kitchen, smoking with one hand and flipping a kitchen knife with the other, his gaze constantly fixed on the plump pumpkin on the cutting board.
