Chapter 999: 997: Stench of Evil
Three days have passed since the disaster eting.
At the hotel’s front desk, Yi Chen, clad in a black coat, is handling the checkout procedures. Lene waits on a nearby sofa, holding a warm cup of tea.
Since the hotel’s inception, the checkout rate has been less than 0.01%.
Once soone becos a guest of the hotel, they will never be able to leave—not due to the manager’s restrictions—but because most people find a sense of belonging within the hotel, leaving everything else behind.
"Mr. Yi, could you please rate the hotel’s service during your stay?"
Yi Chen takes the card and hesitates briefly, eventually marking it with a [7].
The manager is sowhat surprised, since previous guests have always given a perfect score, "I wonder which aspects of the hotel service are not satisfactory to Mr. Yi?"
"The existing services are good, but they lack quite a bit."
"Such as?"
"It would be nice to have fitness facilities tailored to the different standards of guests. Currently, I am limited to ditation in the room and unable to perform any physical training."
"Hahaha~" These words cause the manager to burst into laughter, "My hotel focuses on rest, and any guest who cos here, even soone as ntally disturbed as William, will put aside their troubles and mundane matters to relax.
Only Mr. Yi stays at the hotel while thinking of things contrary to rest;
truly unusual.
I will consider your suggestion, but, there’s not much ti left... If Mr. Yi can return to the hotel before everything ends, maybe you will have a different experience.
Wish you both the best."
"Take care."
Yi Chen leads Lene to the theater group to receive the final box office dividends;
the total box office exceeds the sum of the previous five films, bringing a very straightforward improvent.
When the entire theater group drinks the last of the box office black water, black mist rises over the theater base, visible hundreds of kiloters away, even constructing several different types of murderer masks in high space.
"Director, I’ll be away for a long ti, so during this period, I won’t be checking in at the theater group."
Everyone is a murderer, and the director can sense the faint killing intent erging from Yi Chen, a subtle sign before executing slaughter.
"Are you going to execute your killing plan? Do you need the support of the theater group?"
"No need, the place is not in the City of Evil."
"If Mr. Yi encounters very dangerous situations needing theater group support, feel free to contact us;
everyone wants to witness you beheading a strong opponent."
"We’ll see."
"Looking forward to news of your beheading success."
After bidding farewell to the theater group,
The two walk through several streets, finally stopping at a corner caf. Even before Yi Chen asks, a staff mber cos over and gestures invitingly.
Although the person bows their head, they can vaguely glimpse a slightly curved mouth and lips as if sared with lipstick.
"Mr. Yi, Miss Lene, please follow !"
Appearing small, the caf has considerable space inside, and the two are led to the most cornered private room on the Second Floor.
Initially expecting William to be there, they instead find only a set of playback equipnt connected by a balloon line to the door lock;
upon opening the door, the equipnt begins to play.
The "Smiling Black Hole" logo appears first,
followed by a beaming William squeezing into the fra.
"Long ti no see~"
Seeing William’s hypocritical face, Yi Chen feels discomfort all over, nearly vomiting the not fully digested breakfast.
Lene, however, eagerly greets the William on TV.
"My latest disaster identity is exceptionally conspicuous;
leaving the City of Evil will surely draw attention, so you must sneak
out.
And I’ve left a double here. As long as I can return within a week, I won’t be exposed, and there’s even ample alibi."
"If I leave the City of Evil, won’t that be conspicuous?" Yi Chen retorts.
"Of course, it’s much better~ After all, Mr. Yi, you’re just part of the Tenth Disaster, and the previous Tenth Disaster enjoyed roaming and hunting outside, so your departure won’t raise suspicion.
By the way, Yi Chen, you’ve already told Lene, right? Our purpose for going out this ti."
Lene nods repeatedly, "Yes, Mr. Yi has told ! I’m willing to go... If you both suffer irreparable trauma, I can help repair it. Or if you two are trapped sowhere, if I’m not trapped, I might help you trans... transfer out."
William on TV maintains a smile, making a gesture as if petting a head.
Yi Chen beside him only feels his stomach convulse, as if sothing is punching and kicking inside, speaking up to interrupt:
"Cut to the chase, where do we transfer out from? Having the theater group send us would be too conspicuous;
should we use the plane teleportation gate?"
William on TV imdiately pulls out a pre-prepared note and sticks it on the screen.
[Fly Street-113A]
"I’ve already arranged staff in charge of plane teleportation;
you just need to get there to leave the City of Evil. Of course, try not to draw attention along the way."
End of conversation,
Yi Chen hurriedly pulls out the tape representing William, tucks it into his coat, feeling like seeing it any longer would make him sick.
"Lene, let’s go."
"Okay..."
Upon leaving the caf, they are given a map as a complintary. So-called Fly Street is not far away, probably just six or seven streets.
Throughout the way, Yi Chen keeps his hood down to avoid attracting unnecessary attention due to his celebrity status.
Fly Street indeed lives up to its na, like arriving in a slum, the whole street tagged with [Dirty].
Roofs, streetlights, dead trees, or so billboards are all covered in flies,
The evil residing there blends entirely with the flies;
every breath they take sucks so flies into their bodies, then expels so flies through a special cycle.
Such filthy places, even most evil wouldn’t want to co, which is precisely why William chose the teleportation point here, significantly reducing the probability of being noticed.
However, as Yi Chen steps in, flies that should have sward cannot approach within two ters, instantly dying upon nearing.
The so-called 113A is just across the street.
Just as they’re ready to cross the street, an unusual stench, a rotting odor surpassing several levels of Fly Street, spreads.
Yi Chen has slled this before, a stench exceeding his tolerance level.
An old car drives along the street full of filthy water and maggots, stops just in front of them, the stench stemming from it.
Yi Chen quickly reaches out to shield Lene behind him,
The car window rolls down,
Sitting inside is a woman, a lady with oriental facial features, an exceedingly refined skin but exuding an intensely strong stench.
The evil she represents likely relates to rot and stench.
She extends her nose, gently sniffing.
"Ah~ No mistake! What a fresh scent, detectable tens of kiloters away, finally caught up with you."
The woman voluntarily steps out of the car, her eyes deeply fixed on Lene.
"Is there anything you want?" Yi Chen asks coldly. .
The woman completely ignores him and reaches toward Lene, "You can call
Aunt May, this is my ho address, if you need ’money,’ feel free to find , I have money in all forms."
Lene senses a primal danger, her sheep body trembling as if facing an ’archenemy’ since the woman stepped off the car.
Her gentle words seem to have a pull, as if countless baby arms are lifting Lene’s arm, trying to make her take the card.
Buzz!
A surge of killing intent falls, unseen infants were all slaughtered, Lene’s consciousness restored.
Confrontation on the ntal level has begun,
The woman claiming to be Aunt May, the Sixth Disaster, instantly erupts in fury, overwhelming malice about to sweep in.
Lene, regaining consciousness, unexpectedly takes the card and bows her head.
"Thank you, Aunt May, I’ll visit when I have ti."
Aunt May, whose face was already twisted, imdiately resus a gentle deanor, "Oh, quite obedient~ Aunt May will wait at ho, don’t make
wait too long."
"Mr. Yi and I are going on a killing tour, and will visit you in a week."
"Okay, I’ll wait for you!"
Aunt May returns to the car, leaving with a smile still on her face.
Threat neutralized.
Not waiting for Yi Chen to speak, Lene proactively says, "Mr. Yi, I had to take the card just now, or it would disrupt your and William’s plan! No worries, consider it after your plan is complete."
"Well done."
Yi Chen looks down at the ground, where even flies rot in the spot just walked by the woman.
