Chapter 968: 966: Shops
After eating the exquisite als provided by the hotel, Yi Chen’s body felt a long-lost relaxation, even generating a lazy thought of wanting to take a bath and rest, delaying any matters related to the film crew’s shooting.
However, it was only Yi Chen who was relaxed.
Lorrian, who hadn’t yet overco the hotel’s stress disorder, and Lene, who was experiencing the hotel for the first ti, both remained physically tense at all tis.
Lene’s ’witch thought’ had been removed and would only be implanted back by Lorrian through the Illusion Dream Realm before acting, maintaining the sa state otherwise.
Ever since stepping into the hotel, Lorrian felt uncomfortable all over, different from the bloody massacre brought by the Tenth Disaster. Instead, it was a constant imprisonnt and restriction, as if an invisible hand was gripping his throat.
After eating, he ca to the center of the room, displayed his twisted Moon God state in an attempt to alleviate the intense discomfort, his entire body floating in the air, tentacles swaying around him.
Lene initially wanted to bathe and relax, but upon thinking about continuing the shoot tomorrow, and being unfamiliar with acting, she ca to the desk provided in the suite and seriously studied the Witch script.
Yi Chen had no intention of staying in the room, stood up, and prepared to leave the guest room.
Lorrian’s voice ca, "Don’t you need to familiarize yourself with the script and rehearse? The first scene should be officially shot tomorrow, right."
"I can rehearse when I co back to sleep at night."
Lene originally wanted to follow but seed to sense sothing and swallowed her words, waving goodbye.

Closing the guest room door, the entire hallway was very quiet, or rather, the whole hotel was quite quiet, seemingly only inhabited by the three of them.
When the elevator arrived at the lobby on the first floor, it was still deserted with no one around, while the manager himself stood inside the counter organizing docunts.
"Is this hotel only serving us?"
The Black manager politely paused his actions, "Yes, it seems that Mr. Yi indeed did not eat the food from the crew, indicating you might have an alternative intention towards the crew.
I personally do not wish for soone with a gentlemanly deanor like you to mingle with the crew who only understand vulgar literature.
Of course, that’s not my concern."
"Not mingling with the crew to co to your hotel to wait to be killed?" Yi Chen retorted directly.
The manager smiled slightly, "No, don’t misunderstand, Mr. Yi.
Neither I nor the hotel will kill anyone, nor have we ever had a record of killing. We only provide warm and cozy accommodations, and the hotel’s initial aim is to evoke a sense of ho for every guest.
To allow guests to enjoy life safely by being at the hotel, without needing to think of anything else, only needing to stay here and throw away all worries and concerns, becoming lifelong custors of the hotel."
"Laziness?"
"Not a very accurate description, but I don’t see the feeling of ’ho’ from you, Mr. Yi. No wonder, having just checked in not long ago, you were ready to leave after rely eating our food."
The hotel doors suddenly opened, and the Yi Chen standing in the lobby had already left.
The conversation was interrupted,
or rather, Yi Chen felt a certain discomfort during the conversation with the manager, an instinctual sense of being observed, and continuing the chat would not only fail to gain more information about the hotel, but also expose more of his own issues. ??????Ο??????
[City of Evil]
Though nad ’City,’ its overall size is ford by the patchwork of several worlds, quite massive.
However, entities reaching the level of [Disaster], such as the manager, could appear in any place related to accommodation through their attributes.
It cannot be ruled out that other disasters also possess this ability, thus caution is necessary when walking outside. Getting involved with an extrely ill-willed disaster would truly be troubleso.
After all, being in the world of wickedness,
Yi Chen, as a non-evil existence, walking here is like a monk with the Great Tribulation walking on the street, conspicuous and eye-catching.
To reduce trouble, a woman’s head with a teardrop mole lightly ’perched’ on his shoulder.
To be precise, it seed to grow on Yi Chen’s shoulder.
Lacking a body, just such a beautiful head, gripping the shoulder tightly with fingers growing from the neck.
Achieving a [Phenonon] level malicious intent also spreads, making it look as if Yi Chen beca a ’mount,’ with the master being this head nad Fu Jiang.
This transformation imdiately changed those gazes from different corners on the street from hostility to admiration, with so even crawling over, wanting to beco Fu Jiang’s "mount."
Of course,
when more than one male simultaneously expresses love for Fu Jiang, they would start fighting, causing no further trouble.
Even if an existence of a phenonon level ca looking, such as a boss sitting at the door selling books, pulling at Yi Chen’s pant leg while opening his own Facebook, trying to forcibly sell books,
they can imdiately see the crew emblem worn on their chest, daring not to cause trouble.
After all, none of the ’residents’ living on this street dare to provoke the crew’s affairs;
otherwise, they might find themselves on a performance set imdiately after turning around, with that classic chase music ringing in their ears.
Rooted on the shoulder, Liu Xinzhi looked around this bizarre and strange city, drawn to all kinds of odd shops, wanting to try many of them.
For instance, a gloomy bathhouse with an eyeless old lady sitting at the entrance, from inside ca various sounds of physical collisions, seeming quite interesting.
For example, a restaurant emitting a rich aroma, where custors entering are fixed to the center of the table, and ingredients with ’plump’ physical appearances sit around, feeding the diner at the center in various ways.
For instance, a clothing store with no visible clothes or salespeople but frequently visited, rely needing to enter the changing room and soon after coming out wearing entirely new clothes, even having slightly fairer skin, though most of these clothes are rather warm, seemingly just taken off soone else’s body.
"It’s quite interesting here!"
Perhaps due to her own nature as evil, Liu Xinzhi, inhaling the malice in the air, even felt a sense of coming ho wanting to reside long-term.
"Wow! There is even a barber shop here that looks so exquisite! Perhaps there’s a barber inside who cuts hair for kings, should I try the most trendy hairstyle here? This way, I might beco a bit prettier;
after all, it has been quite a while since I last had a haircut."
Love for beauty is Fu Jiang’s nature, and this barber shop, a gathering place for malicious sources, caught even more of her attention, making her want to go more, even intending to separate from Yi Chen’s shoulder.
The barber shop seen across the street was decorated in a dieval style, without any posted hairstyle images for promotion, only a tal embossed sign of "Hair" paired with a pair of scissors.
Over the street looking over, the interior of the barber shop appeared quite elegant, but the shop was very deserted, with all sorts of strange shops around having custors, except for this barber shop which had none.
"You dare to go to such a strange barber shop?"
"What’s there not to dare, beauty is worth dying for, besides ~ I can’t bear to part with Mr. Yi.
Alright, considering there’s a chance I’ll never see Mr. Yi again, I won’t go!"
Just when Liu Xinzhi moved her gaze away, a chilling gaze ca from the barber shop, even startling Yi Chen, causing a ripple in the Dead Sea.
When they looked again, there was no barber shop across the street, only a warehouse used for stacking goods.
But that gaze left a deep impression on their hearts, as if conveying a kind of amazent, amazed at seeing a woman resist the temptation to enter the barber shop.
"I’ll try to be more restrained~" Liu Xinzhi also felt the danger, no longer letting her eyes wander.
Not long after, they found the destination of Yi Chen’s outing tonight, a well-lit and sowhat respectable film rental shop.
He planned to rent a few films shot by the crew to take back and watch, perhaps obtaining so crucial information in advance.
