Chapter 1648 Hot Spring Trip

"Songshi Hot Spring Hotel is not named after Songshi Mountain or Songshi as everyone knows it. The word "Songshi" comes from the names of the first generation boss and the landlady, and even the name of the entire Songshi Mountain. , the first-generation boss at that time was the son of a wealthy businessman in the city. During a trip, he met the simple and kind-hearted first-generation boss lady from the countryside..."

The tour guide walking at the front told the origin of this "Songshi Hot Spring Hotel".

The tourists listened with gusto.

But Teddy looked around nervously.

Neither the tour guide's explanation nor the beautiful surrounding scenery caught Teddy's attention. In other words, that was not what he cared about at all.

He cares about the unusual.

Even according to the only demon hunter he knew well, those strange things would not appear during the day.

However, he was still nervous.

After all, everything around you is strange and unfamiliar. Who knows what will happen?

At this time, Teddy already regretted signing up for this so-called 'hot spring cultural tour'. He should stay in Ai City honestly and adapt to the sudden strangers in a more familiar environment, instead of choosing to stay in an unfamiliar place. Facing an increasingly unfamiliar world.

This feeling is simply terrible.

And just when Teddy was thinking about whether to leave the group and return to Ai City directly, a heavy rain suddenly came!

Tour guides and tourists ran into the hotel one after another.

The owner of the hotel, an exceptionally beautiful lady with exquisite makeup, graceful manners, greeted them with a smile.

The men who entered the hotel were all stunned when they saw the fourth-generation proprietress mentioned by the tour guide, even Teddy was no exception.

However, unlike the men around him, Teddy quickly returned to normal.

He looked at the heavy rain outside the window and frowned.

Under such heavy rain, it is basically impossible to go down the mountain and leave.

Heavy rain blocks the view, and the roads are muddy and slippery, and accidents can happen if you are not careful.

"Guest, what's the matter?"

While Teddy was thinking, the fourth-generation boss lady named "Song Shi" came over holding a cup of hot tea.

"nothing."

"Thanks."

Teddy took the hot tea politely but didn't say much.

The proprietress pursed her lips and smiled without asking any questions. After giving Teddy a slight salute, she stood up and asked other tourists if they needed help.

Looking at the back of the landlady, Teddy had reason to believe that any store would be booming as long as the landlady was there.

In fact, this is also true.

Apart from their group, another group of people ran in after a while despite the heavy rain.

Just like their little group.

This wave of tourists was also a small group, with only five people including the tour guide and the driver.

"heavy rain!"

"What bad luck!"

"It's all your fault for insisting on taking a hot spring bath!"

Following the tour guide were four young people, two men and two women. Judging from their expressions, they should be two young couples.

At this moment, among the two young couples, the girl who was walking in front was complaining about the boy.

The fat boy with glasses was licking his face to please his pretty girlfriend with permed yellow hair.

However, the other party obviously didn't appreciate it.

Not only was she cold-tempered, but she also ordered her boyfriend to get a towel.

That unruly and willful look made everyone around him look askance.

But instead of restraining herself, the girl spoke louder and louder.

"hurry up!"

"If I had known better, I should have gone shopping with them."

The sound in his mouth made Teddy shake his head secretly and look at the couple behind him.

This young couple is much better.

The man wiped the girl's head with a towel, while the girl smiled.

Very normal.

Teddy ignored him and leaned in the corner of the hotel lobby, waiting for the landlady to assign a room.

Fortunately, although there are two tour groups, they are both small groups and can stay in a small hotel.

The room Teddy was assigned was 201.

On the second floor, directly opposite the stairs.

From this room to the left are 202 and 203, and to the right are 204, 205 and 206.

The room on the side next to the stairs is open, with billiard cases, tables and sofas placed. It should be an activity room, and on the edge of the activity room is a fence handrail. Standing here, you can see the hotel's atrium and Songshi Mountain. Some of the scenery, if it is sunny, the scenery will probably be very good.

Teddy was traveling with a family of three.

Injected into the largest room 206.

The two tour guides obviously knew each other and checked into 205 at the same time.

The remaining two couples moved into rooms 202 and 203.

204 is empty.

After Teddy picked up the key and entered 201, he checked the room carefully, and then he breathed a sigh of relief - this was the professional instinct formed by the police, and when he realized that the world was far from what he thought, Teddy's behavior This professional instinct quickly rose to an almost demanding height.

Just like this moment.

Teddy, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, immediately took out an electric baton and two high-temperature lighters from his backpack.

The electric baton is not a traditional style, but is similar to a mobile phone. It has two metal contacts on the front end. Although it is small, the burst of electricity is enough to make an adult lose mobility in just a few seconds.

The same goes for high-temperature lighters. They look like a small watering can or an alternative gun, but as long as the trigger is pulled, the jet nozzle can spray out a high temperature of nearly 300 degrees.

After learning from Kieran how to deal with those weird things, Teddy immediately bought these two things at a high price.

Not expecting anything to happen.

Just pure defense.

Now, Teddy can hardly sleep peacefully without carrying these things with him.

Moreover, even so, Teddy often wakes up in the middle of the night.

However, today is different.

After entering the room, Teddy felt a little sleepy.

Especially after taking inventory of the electric batons and high-temperature lighters that he carried with him, he became even more sleepy. Unconsciously, he picked up the electric batons and high-temperature lighters, and Teddy just lay on the bed.

Maybe you've been too nervous these days?

At this moment before falling asleep, Teddy was still thinking.

And the next moment, snoring started everywhere.

Teddy fell into a slumber.

Chop, chop, chop!

In a daze, Teddy was awakened by a very rhythmic sound.

He propped up his body, frowned, opened the door, and walked downstairs where the sound came from.

When he walked downstairs, Teddy realized that the sound was coming from the kitchen.

At this time, he also realized what the extremely rhythmic sound was.

"Chop ribs?"

Teddy muttered, then raised his hand and subconsciously lifted the kitchen curtain.

Pork ribs, Teddy loves to eat them.

Especially the part with brittle bones fascinates Teddy even more.

However, when he opened the curtain, Teddy's eyes widened.

What did he see?

He saw himself!

After being stripped naked, he lay flat on a long table. The beautiful proprietress stood beside him, holding a sharp wide-blade kitchen knife in her hand and waving it up and down.

It makes that 'chop' sound every time.

Blood will also splash everywhere with every swing.

Teddy took a breath and stepped back.

But something tripped behind him, and Teddy fell down.

thump!

The muffled sound of falling obviously alarmed the proprietress who was chopping meat in the kitchen.

She lifted the curtain and came out.

There is no difference from the beautiful landlady in Teddy's memory. She is still beautiful. Even though there is more blood on her face, hands, and body, the beauty is not diminished at all, but is increased. An alternative, strange beauty.

Teddy stood up, picked up a chair in the hall and threw it at the landlady without thinking.

Woo!

The chair carried a gust of wind and hit the boss's wife.

But the proprietress just waved her knife-wielding hand, and the chair was cut open, as if it was a piece of tofu instead of a chair.

Teddy's eyes narrowed.

He knew very well that he was definitely no match for anyone who could do it.

Even if the other party looks like a delicate woman.

Without thinking, Teddy rushed upstairs.

However, at this moment, his foot was tripped again.

Just like before, Teddy fell to the ground again.

And, what's even worse is that this time the landlady is close at hand.

The knife in his hand just chopped it off straight away.

"ah!"

Teddy suddenly sat up from the bed, touching his chest and breathing heavily.

Only then did he realize that everything just happened was a dream.

Can……

That dream was really too real.

Recalling the scenes in his mind, small beads of sweat appeared on Teddy's forehead.

After a while, Teddy got off the bed and walked towards the bathroom.

He needed to wash his face and sober up.

But the moment he turned on the faucet——

"ah!"

A sharp cry suddenly came.

As a police officer, Teddy turned around and rushed out the door.

The entire corridor was quiet.

The shout came from 204 on the right.

Is that the young couple living here?

That little couple who had a conflict!

What happened?

Teddy raised his foot and kicked the door lock.

Bang, bang!

boom!

One kick, two kicks, and on the third kick, the age-old door opened in response.

But there was no sign of the young couple in the room.

All that is left is a person hanging from the rafters.

Although it was just a back view, the familiar jacket and pants were enough for Teddy to recognize that they were his own clothes.

In fact, except for his coat, he was wearing exactly the same clothes as the figure hanging there.

"this?"

Just when Teddy frowned, the figure hanging there turned around as if being blown by the wind.

It's him!

it's him!

Although his face was bruised and his tongue was hanging out, how could Teddy mistake him for himself?

But he is clearly standing here...

Forehead!

Just when this idea came to Teddy's mind, the perspective in front of him suddenly flickered.

He came to a high place.

He felt suffocated.

He was dancing.

However, the rope around his neck was getting tighter and tighter.

But the man standing on the ground showed a very strange smile, and just watched helplessly as he was about to suffocate.

The brain, deprived of oxygen, gradually becomes confused.

The vision has long been blurred.

Click!

Suddenly there was a sound of scissors crossing.

Teddy, who was hanging high, fell heavily to the ground.

The pain coming from his body made Teddy sit up directly.

"Um?!"

Teddy was stunned.

He is still in bed.

He still held an electric baton and a high-temperature lighter in his hand, but... his body also felt a dull pain.

Especially the position of the neck.

That feeling of suffocation is still there.

"Is this a dream?"

Teddy walked into the bathroom with an electric baton and a high-temperature lighter, and he looked in the mirror.

There were no strangulation marks on the neck.

There weren't any bruises on his body.

It’s just that the scene just now was too real.

It was so real that he couldn't tell whether he was dreaming now...

He lowered his head and looked at the electric baton and high-temperature lighter in his hands.

He had not seen these two things in his dream before.

But at that time, he seemed to have subconsciously ignored these two things.

There is also room 204!

He clearly remembered that there was no one there.

In the dream, it became the room of the young couple.

Everything in that dream was weird, but he took it for granted.

According to his habits, it is impossible for such a thing to happen.

unless……

"Did I encounter something weird?"

Teddy couldn't help but think.

Boom, boom, boom.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"who?"

Teddy asked slightly nervously.

"Hello, guest, it's dinner time."

"Do you want dinner?"

Outside the door, the voice of the landlady came.

dinner?

Teddy looked out the window and realized that it had become dark without realizing it, but the rain was still falling, only slightly lighter.

And his stomach growled even more hungry.

"Wait a moment."

"I'll be right away."

As Teddy spoke, he picked up his coat and put the electric baton and two high-temperature lighters into the pockets of the coat - he also specially chose a coat with large pockets like a windbreaker. The best thing is to carry these things with you on special occasions.

"OK."

The landlady outside the door answered.

However, Teddy, who had packed up, did not open the door, but went to the window.

He did not forget Kieran's instructions.

When encountering something strange, the first thing to do is not to fight, but to run for your life.

Teddy was more than happy to listen to the experts.

As for the rest?

Until now, Teddy couldn't be sure whether what he saw was a human being.

Without a backpack, Teddy, who was very agile, climbed out of the window and jumped directly out of the courtyard.

The height of the second floor was nothing to Teddy who was well prepared.

He rolled over and lost all his strength.

However, just as he was about to stand up, he tripped again.

thump.

Teddy, who fell into the muddy water, immediately got up. When he turned his head to see clearly what had tripped him, Teddy was stunned.

Corpse!

A corpse tripped him!

The corpse was that of a girl from a previously conflicted couple.

The corpse was wearing the same clothes as when he first met him, and his exposed face was pale and washed away by the rain.

call.

Teddy let out a long sigh of relief. He was glad that the body was not his.

Teddy couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't go crazy if he encountered his own body again.

But before Teddy could breathe out completely, there were shouts and shouts in the hotel.

"Sally? Sally?"

After just two calls, the boy in the couple rushed out and saw Teddy standing next to his girlfriend's body in the rain.

Behind the boy, the couple who were helping to find someone, a family of three, and two tour guides immediately saw the scene in front of them clearly.

The timid girls, children and two tour guides immediately screamed.

The remaining two men stood in front of their girlfriends and wives, looking at Teddy warily.

Teddy immediately raised his hands to show his harmlessness.

"I think I can explain."

"actually……"

"I'm a policeman."
