I, there is an inn that is weird

Chapter 2

In the courtyard of the inn, a strange thing happened in front of everyone.

The long knife slashed, but the innkeeper did not move at all. Instead, the long knife was close to the shopkeeper's forehead but did not fall. At the same time, the strong man holding the long knife also suddenly stopped.

If you want to describe it, it feels like space has solidified and time has paused, just like the amber passed down from ancient times, wrapping the fighting insects, freezing the years.

"Ding Hu, what are you doing?"

For example, the scene in the picture changed amidst Scar's angry rebuke. The innkeeper still stayed in the same place, but the Ding Hu he shouted was scattered like a pile of sand.

There was no scene of flesh and blood, nor was there any frightening howl, it just disappeared in the courtyard so plainly.

"Demon, demon, run away."

Liu Mouse, who was beside Scar, lived up to his nickname. When he saw this extremely terrifying situation, he immediately rushed towards the door of the inn.

Like ordinary people, Dao Scar and the others have never seen ghosts and ghosts, but they have heard of them to some extent in the rivers and lakes.

After hearing Liu Mouse's movements, everyone reacted in panic and immediately rushed towards the door.

And Yan Yulong, who had already guessed before, had already brought his absent-minded sister to the gate of the inn when the change occurred in the courtyard.

Unfortunately, before they noticed it, the door of the inn had been closed early. The panicked Liu Mouse saw that the door was tightly locked and kicked out with all his strength.

But when he kicked the door open, the middle part of the inn door turned into a bloody mouth, biting the thigh he was pushing against.

"Ah, help, help..."

Before he could continue to speak, a long scarlet tongue stretched out from the abyss-like maw of an evil spirit, sucking him directly into the maw.

Then there was a "squeak" that made everyone sweat, and everyone who had just approached the gate retreated as quickly as if their hands touched hot oil.

The blood flowing from the corner of the mouth made everyone's minds go blank for a moment.

"Dear guests, any malicious damage to hotel property will require compensation."

Before anyone could react to the scene in front of them, a faint voice came from behind.

"what……"

At this time, Scar and others, like frightened birds, turned around in panic and looked at the gentle and jade-like shopkeeper.

"Clang, clang..."

"Sir, no, Great Immortal, please let me go. You can do anything you want. Just spare my life."

The long knife fell to the ground and made a sound. The scar-faced man instantly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

When the subordinates behind him saw it, they immediately followed suit, and a misfortune contest immediately appeared in the courtyard of the inn.

Yan Yulong on the side was holding his sister who was still in a daze, watching the scene of begging for mercy in front of him without making any movement. From the information the family knew, he knew that any begging for mercy would have no effect in the face of monsters.

The only hope is that the shopkeeper in front of me is not unable to communicate. I wonder if he can survive after meeting any requirements. After all, there are examples recorded in family secrets.

"Dear guests, the store only provides a place for customers to stay. As long as you abide by the rules of the store, the store will never beat or scold the guests."

As this is the first time the inn has opened, as the shopkeeper, I still hope that I can make a business today and get a good start.

It's just that Scarface and the others turned a deaf ear to what he said, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.

After Yan Yulong heard about it, he knew that there might be a chance of survival, but he might also be the third person to die in the inn.

But when he saw Yan Yuxiu who had not yet calmed down, Yan Yulong gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "The shopkeeper doesn't know what it takes to open a top hotel?"

Hearing Yan Yulong's inquiry, the shopkeeper ignored Scarface and the others, but warmly welcomed them: "Nothing? Just souls, lifespans, weird things, just a little bit is enough, not much."

"Of course if you don't have it, no, you have it all over your body. I made a mistake."

Without thinking about the soul, life span is in the shopkeeper's mouth, just like a commodity that can be traded at will. After hearing the introduction, Yan Yulong planned to continue asking about this point.

In the case of family secret records, those who survived relied on subtle information to survive until the end.

After Scarface, who was kowtowing to beg for mercy, heard the shopkeeper's words, his spiritual defense seemed to have been completely broken. He lost his mind and picked up the long knife that fell on the ground.

He shouted: "I will fight you monster."

The people behind him who had no judgment anymore, under the stimulation of the boss, instinctively picked up the long knife on the ground and followed Scar to chop at the shopkeeper.

"Ugh."

Like a lament coming from a bottomless abyss, bringing endless death.

When this voice sounded in the courtyard of the inn, several figures, like Ding Hu at the beginning, disappeared with the wind without any external influence.

"If you can't even be a qualified guest, what meaning and value do you have for your existence?"

I don't know whether it was a rhetorical question or a sigh, but the inn returned to the situation of only the Yan brothers and sisters.

"elder brother."

Yan Yuxiu, who was once again stimulated by the scene like flying sand passing by in front of her eyes, had regained her consciousness and instinctively hugged her elder brother tightly, as if this could bring a sense of security.

"fine."

Gently wiped away the tears on her sister's cheeks, tidied her wet hair, and then spoke to the shopkeeper after she calmed down.

"The shopkeeper is laughing, my sister is timid, can you get some food?"

"Of course, the inn is just to serve guests, please."

He obviously has the ability to turn people into ashes, but when facing Yan Yulong, the shopkeeper looked like he was really welcoming the guests of the inn.

In the lobby of the inn, the shopkeeper handed Yan Yulong a book one foot long and two fingers thick, with two large characters written on it, a recipe.

Having reached this point, Yan Yulong could only continue walking, holding his sister in one hand and patting her on the back to comfort her.

He took the recipe in his right hand, put it on the table and started to read it.

The texture of the booklet is extremely special, not as soft as paper, and even the knowledgeable Yan Yulong has never heard of it.

Looking through the menu, Yan Yulong saw an exquisite map that looked like a real thing, with various delicacies drawn on it, and the names and introductions of the dishes under the map.

"Shopkeeper, what is this strange coin? I haven't heard of it yet."

When he saw the price column, Yan Yulong, who originally thought it was the life span of the soul, said to the shopkeeper beside him.

As long as he regarded himself as a guest, the shopkeeper in front of him would be like the real shopkeeper. Yan Yulong had no choice but to treat himself as a guest.

I hope that the shopkeeper in front of me is just having a bad taste for a moment and will let my brother and sister go after satisfying his pleasure.

"That's what you said." A copper coin-like object appeared in the shopkeeper's hand, and he continued: "This is the currency needed to top up the store."

After hearing the shopkeeper's introduction, Yan Yulong asked doubtfully: "No, it's..."

"Haha, how can something as precious as a soul, lifespan, and weird thing be exchanged for a dish?"

"Your soul can be exchanged for a hundred cheat coins. If you have a lifespan, you can exchange it for fifty cheat coins. If you need it, I can exchange it for you for 160 cheat coins, which is a discount."

The plain, yet seemingly normal introduction made Yan Yulong feel a chill in his heart, and the sister beside him unconsciously hugged his arm tightly.

"No, we brothers and sisters can't eat that much."

"It's okay. You can save it. If you don't want to exchange it with your lifespan and soul, you can also exchange it for the magic items hidden in your bag. I can give you three thousand magic coins for the price."

Hearing this, Yan Yulong touched the baggage behind him, but he did not expect this thing to be of such high value.

"If you give this thing to the shopkeeper, will you let us brothers and sisters go?"

To make his sister survive, he is willing to give up the trick in his hand, even if he is severely punished by the family or even dies.

Unexpectedly, this sentence actually made the enthusiastic shopkeeper look angry and scolded: "What do you think I have an inn? I will never ask for an extra penny from the guests when I own an inn, but don't even think about paying one less." "

The brightly lit lobby of the inn immediately felt like it had fallen into a bottomless abyss. Indescribable weirdness was wandering near the dining table, and the aura of sinking continued to corrode the lobby.

"Shopkeeper, calm down."

While speaking, he did not forget to cover his sister's eyes and ears, for fear that she would see the scene in front of him.

"It disturbed the guests."

After the words fell, the lobby returned to its previous bright lights, and the abnormality disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared at all.

However, Yan Yulong knew that it was not an illusion. He was wet with sweat and knew that it was a real thing.

"This guest, I'm very sorry for disturbing you at the next moment."

"If you are willing, I can help you seal the treacherous objects and become a treacherous master. There will be no side effects. This is considered an apology."

"Really?"

Yan Yulong asked in surprise when he heard that he had become a Trickster, and he almost forgot where he was.

There was no answer, the shopkeeper smiled faintly, and the baggage behind Yan Yulong spread out, revealing a hand bone as dark as burnt.

"The fire hand bones are considered top-grade artifacts."

With just one move of its hand, the charred hand bones instantly merged into Yan Yulong's body, leaving only a cloud of black smoke outside his body that he accepted.

"I don't think you are willing to exchange your life and soul for trick coins, so withhold a part of your trick power and use it to exchange trick coins."

"However, the high-grade fire hand bone artifact has become an average quality. I hope you can understand."
