Chapter 31 The Price of High Inspiration
Shit.
Lin Qi's heart almost burst and his hairs stood up. He used all his strength to control the urge to scream and sit down. He immediately lowered his head to cover the cold sweat on his forehead and his pale face.
What a monster, a fantasy.
If he hadn’t had the experience in the Strange Object Memories the night before, he believed he would have gone crazy on the spot.
In fact, it’s not much better now.
"Sir, are you okay?" The emotionless voice came again.
Lin Qi's heartbeat was beating faster. He didn't even dare to raise his head. He lowered his head and shook his head. He stiffly filled in a few words on the registration form and pushed it back. But in the end he couldn't help it. Guang glanced at the middle-aged manager opposite.
The vision has faded, and everything seems to be normal except for the other person's face being expressionless. The waiter in the red vest next to him seems not to have noticed anything strange about the supervisor, and still behaves as usual.
The supervisor took the form and asked with seeming concern: "You don't look good. Do you need me to help you contact the Hall of Misery?"
"No, no, it's my first time in a place like this. "Nervous."
Lin Qi forced a smile. Even though the other party was already normal, the insect head he just saw flashed through his mind repeatedly, especially when the other party was whispering to the normal young waiter in a red vest next to him. Sometimes, Lin Qi always felt as if there was a weird giant insect lying next to his ear, and it felt like seconds passed by like years.
But he didn't dare to show it. He instinctively felt that if he showed that he saw the monster, he would be in a very troublesome situation.
Because a sentence I heard at noon came to mind again: mysterious contact does not begin with encounter, but with perception.
Mrs. Bessie’s teaching words were still ringing in his ears, and Lynch realized that once he showed that he sensed an abnormality, he would probably be killed on the spot. On the other hand, with so many guests and normal waiters coming in and out safely, these things should not attack guests who are not aware of them.
Therefore, Lynch tried hard to pretend that he was normal, I didn't see it, I didn't see anything.
Sure enough, the purple vest supervisor had no intention of attacking him.
"Mike, register this gentleman. Sir, please sit and wait in the surrounding booths. If necessary, you can also choose the surrounding boxes, but you will be billed separately."
Lin Qi nodded, turned around and left immediately, feeling that his shirt was soaked.
‘Travel companion, travel companion, what is going on, why do I see these things. ’
[When the inspiration is too high, sometimes you will see things beyond common sense. 】
'Um? Are these things real or fake? ’
[Reality and fiction are both part of the scenery during the journey, and you need to taste it yourself. 】
Huh, okay.
Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief and looked back with lingering fear. I wonder if it was an illusion, but the strange supervisor seemed to have just moved his eyes away from Lin Qi.
At this moment, he recalled Mrs. Bessie's horror.
What the hell is this place and what are these things.
Otherwise, it's better to withdraw.
However, just as he was pretending to be calm, a smooth female voice suddenly came from behind:
"Sir."
Lin Qi turned around subconsciously, and with the flash of 'snowflakes' in front of his eyes, a huge spider-head shadow met his eyes again, only a few meters away.
Lin Qi almost collapsed to the ground on the spot. He staggered back two steps and held on to the pillar next to him before he could barely stand still.
At this time, two other waiters with ghost ghosts were also approaching from both sides, surrounding Lynch on three sides.
In the hall behind them, the sight of 'snowflakes' seemed to be entangled with countless spider webs. Dozens of white cocoons were hanging on the roof, twisting and struggling from time to time, shaking violently in the air. Then the snowflakes faded away and the hall returned to its original state, but the three ghostly images of the waiters remained as they were. Twenty-four blood-red human eyes stared at Lin Qi unblinkingly. In the cold pupils, there seemed to be an incomprehensible flicker. of light.
"Sir, are you okay?"
The waitress reached out to help him, but Lynch was so frightened that he quickly waved his hand, avoiding the waitress' body and standing still. Just kidding, who knows what will touch him? When he thinks of the cocoon hanging on the roof, Lynch feels like he has fallen into an ice cellar.
"I'm fine, I'm hungry." Not good at all. Lynch showed a forced smile and said in a dry voice, "What's the matter?"
"You didn't take your number plate. .”
The waitress took out a metal piece with the number thirteen written on it and handed it over. Everything seemed normal, but what was stretched out was a huge black arthropod, covered with thorn-like bristles, which made a crackling sound when it moved. The sound, with the copper plate stained on the surface, had been stretched out in front of Lin Qi.
The other two waiters seemed to be just standing next to the female waiter. However, in the shadow that Lynch saw, two huge spider heads were already close to him, with two high claws. Lift it up as if it's about to be inserted at any moment.
The experience of being an otaku has never included this kind of content. Lynch felt that his brain was going to explode, as if he would be hung from the roof the next moment, but when he thought of the judgment just now, he simply felt heartbroken.
I bet again, I didn't see anything. I didn't see anything.
However, thinking about it again, his legs felt weak even as he watched the ferocious spider head dangling in front of him, but he could only tense up, holding back his nausea and fear, stretched out his hand, and moved away without leaving a trace. Out of sight.
The touch from the palm of his hand made him want to chop it off, but it seemed to be human, just unusually cold. The waitress left the number plate, gave him a cold look and turned around to leave. The other two The waiter turned and left without saying a word.
Lin Qi was already numb and couldn't feel any fear at all, only a strong sense of disgust.
What the hell, are these disgusting things humans or monsters? How could I see it so clearly?
Is this the price of high inspiration?
Lin Qi already fully understood the meaning of the "ho" in his mind when he entered the door just now.
Standing blankly for a moment, my thinking ability gradually returned.
The stamina of fear invaded his will, and his legs started to tremble a little.
Glancing around the hall, the guests and waiters were all normal, but those monsters, even though their normal visual effects had been restored, Lynch still felt that they had been staring at him.
No, let’s hide for a while, room eight, room eight.
Taking advantage of the fact that no other monsters came over for a while, Lynch quickly lurked into a booth and peered from the shadows at the box marked No. 8 opposite.
No one entered or left the box, and there was no movement inside.
I hope the door is not locked.
Actually, Lin Qi felt uneasy. He didn't know whether his guess was right or wrong, and whether the target was really inside.
No matter what, continue to stay outside. If another monster appears from behind, I will definitely be scared to death. No matter what is inside, it is better than being scared to death on the spot outside.
Having made up his mind, Lynch repeatedly checked all directions in the hall to confirm that no one was paying attention to this direction. Then he rushed to the door of the box as quickly as possible and twisted the door handle.
Click.
The door opened.
Lin Qi was breathing rapidly and felt that someone was looking over here. Before he had time to think about it, he ducked into the dark room and closed the door.
Fumbling with his hand on the wall, Lynch pulled the gas light switch.
The moment the lights came on, Lin Qi saw a person who had been staying in the room in the dark, looking straight at him.
