Chapter 36 The owner of the hotel

Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Chu Nanxing did not stay idle.

She took her belongings with her, and carefully confirmed Xia Xuguang's state before turning around and leaving.

She had a vague hunch that the owner of the hotel should also know what happened here.

Sure enough, after walking a few steps, Chu Nanxing met the old man from last night.

The old man looked much less energetic than yesterday.

Chu Nanxing raised his eyebrows, "Are you the owner of this place?"

The old man was leaning on a cane and approaching Chu Nanxing.

"You are the first person who can appear in front of me alive the next day after I became the master here."

The old man's tone was a bit weird, and he couldn't hear too many emotions.

She looked at Chu Nanxing as if she had seen some exotic beast.

Chu Nanxing took a few steps back feeling uncomfortable.

"So can you tell me why no one can show up to you alive the next day?"

The old man glanced at Chu Nanxing, then silently looked away.

She turned and walked towards the stairs.

Noticing that Chu Nanxing was standing there without moving, she said abruptly, "Follow me!"

Chu Nanxing originally thought that the old man's move was a rejection, but now that she thought about it, she thought it was wrong.

Without hesitation, she followed the old man directly.

Of course, she didn't follow too closely and kept a certain distance.

After all, she is not sure whether the old man is a good person or a bad person.

The area of ​​the hotel is not very big from the outside, but the interior design is not very useful.

Chu Nanxing followed the old man and turned around several times, but failed to reach his destination. Instead, he destroyed his sense of direction.

She frowned and stopped.

"How long will it be?"

The old man did not speak, and walked on his own.

Chu Nanxing was a little confused whether to follow or not.

Just then, the hand she had been keeping in her pocket felt something small touch her finger.

At the same time, Xu Guang's childish voice also appeared in his mind, "Sister, follow!"

"I have a hunch that by following her, we can get incredible gains and improve our strength. Although there is danger, with our abilities, we can completely avert danger."

Chu Nanxing frowned, raised his foot and followed.

But the doubts in her heart did not dissipate.

"Is your hunch accurate?"

Xu Guang nodded in the dark pocket, but soon realized that Chu Nanxing couldn't see it, so he said directly, "Of course it is accurate."

"This is the instinct of living things. When faced with a great opportunity, God gives me a revelation. If I can seize it, my strength will definitely increase a lot."

Chu Nanxing already has a contract with Xuguang.

If Xuguang's strength increases, her upper limit of ability should be able to increase.

Chu Nanxing didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.

She immediately quickened her pace to keep up with the old man.

The old man is getting old, and his walking speed is not fast.

In addition, when Chu Nanxing hesitated just now, he didn't stop, so it didn't take much effort to catch up with the old man.

The old man didn't seem surprised by Chu Nanxing's actions.

Seeing her following up again, she didn't stop, let alone ask more questions.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the old man suddenly stopped in front of a door that looked a little tattered.

There seems to be some kind of portrait painted on this door, but due to its age and the fact that the door has many potholes, there is no way to tell.

The old man noticed that Chu Nanxing's eyes fell on the portrait on the door, and said casually, "That's the sea god worshiped here."

"But then there were frequent accidents here. Everyone thought that the Sea God was useless, so they destroyed all the objects engraved with the image of the Sea God."

Chu Nanxing raised his eyebrows, "After the destruction, have those people's lives improved?"

The old man shook his head.

"Those people never reflect on their mistakes, and gather together with greedy desires. Poseidon uses his last strength to block the resentment, but Poseidon, who has no faith, has no ability to resist resentment."

"So there are fewer strange things in the town, but they are not eliminated."

The old man said as he opened the door in front of him.

The door looked old at first glance, but with a light push, the door fell backwards.

The old man was used to this scene, stood at the door, sighed, "Come in!"

Chu Nanxing followed behind the old man and walked towards the door.

There is not much space inside the door, even a little cramped.

Chu Nanxing felt that he could touch the top of the house with his hand.

There is very limited light in the house.

Chu Nanxing couldn't even see clearly what was in the room.

She frowned and stood near the door, "What are you taking me to see?"

The old man silently lit a candle.

With the dim light of the candle, Chu Nanxing noticed that there was not even a light in this room.

There was a large shadow on the ground, and the old man stewed the candlestick and walked towards the shadow on the ground.

Chu Nanxing frowned and followed suit.

When the candle was close to the shadow, the dim light of the candle also reflected the existence on the ground.

A humanoid with blue skin and fins on either side of its cheek was pinned to the ground by a trident.

Occasionally, blue liquid would flow out of his body and flow along her body to the ground.

There seemed to be some grooves on the ground, and the liquid flowing down did not know where it flowed along the grooves.

Chu Nanxing frowned and asked, "What is this creature?"

"This is Poseidon."

"The Seagod's power is no longer enough to protect this town. The people in the hotel were all killed by monsters created by the Seagod's powerless resentment."

"Because they died tragically, the deaths of these people will also bring new grievances. Poseidon is already weak and has no way to resist."

When the old man talked about these things, he couldn't help sighing, "In order for the Sea God's seal to last a little longer, we can only arrange for people to take them away on the second day after they die. The method of sealing them in the painting."

Chu Nanxing said with a sneer, "The paintings on the stairs are the people who died innocently in this hotel for so many years?"

"If something happens to the people staying in this hotel, why are you unscathed?"

The old man saw Chu Nanxing's doubts about her, and she was not angry. She just said melancholy, "Because I am the bride of Poseidon."

"As long as I am not completely old, the power left by Poseidon to protect him and his bride will always protect me and prevent me from being invaded by resentment."

While talking, the old man put the candlestick on the desk beside him, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the body of the humanoid creature on the ground.
