Thirteenth month of death

Chapter 159 Hot Spring Shop
Hot springs, the next destination indicated in the travel brochure.

This hot spring is located in the north of the gathering place, and the further you go, the fewer people there are.

Li Daosheng and Ren Ou walked together and soon saw the hot spring.

The entire building is made of wood, is three stories high and covers a large area.

As they entered the hot spring shop, a woman wearing a white bathrobe and with her face painted pale stood at the counter. She immediately bowed to Li Daosheng and Ren Ou and said, "Welcome, guests."

She didn't seem surprised at all by the arrival of Li Daosheng and Ren Ou. She enthusiastically left the counter and went forward to greet them.

Li Daosheng glanced around quickly and heard the woman ask, "My name is Huizi. May I ask the names of the two guests?"

"My last name is Li, and his last name is Ren," Li Daosheng said, without giving his full name. "Just call me Mr. Li."

"Mr. Li, Mr. Ren," the woman who called herself Huizi said with a smile, "Excuse me, do you need hot spring service right now?"

"Can we take a look first?" Li Daosheng asked.

"Of course," Keiko bowed, "Please follow me."

The two looked at each other, nodded slightly, and followed her with a sense of vigilance in their hearts.

After opening the sliding door and passing through an open corridor, there was a large courtyard. Li Daosheng and Ren Ou heard the ringing of a bell.

Looking towards the source of the sound, I saw that it was the wind chimes hanging under the eaves ringing.

Did you get a breeze just now?

Li Daosheng doesn't remember.

After passing a carp pond, we finally arrived at the hot spring pool in front.

"The left side is the women's pool, and the right side is the men's pool," Huizi introduced.

Li Daosheng glanced around and saw a curtain hanging on the doorway, so he couldn't see inside.

However, in addition to the women's pool on the left and the men's pool on the right, there is also a doorway with a curtain in the middle.

"Here?" Li Daosheng asked with pretended curiosity.

"This place is temporarily closed." Huizi replied with a smile.

She dodged the question.

It didn't say what the pool behind the curtain was used for, only that it was temporarily out of use.

"Gentlemen, would you like to use the hot springs?" she asked again, this time with a hint of urgency. "If you don't want the hot spring service, the hot spring shop can no longer accommodate you."

Li Daosheng understood very well how strict and abnormal the requirements of this small town where everyone had their own job were in order to fulfill their professional requirements, so he agreed this time.

"Okay, take us there."

"Okay," Huizi smiled and bowed, "Please come to the bathroom and wash yourself first."

Following her, after completing the steps for the hot spring bath, the two of them wrapped themselves in bathrobes and entered the men's pool.

However, just as she was about to lift the curtain and enter the men's pool, Huizi suddenly reached out to stop Ren Ou.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ren."

Huizi had a strange look on her face: "You can't enter the men's pool."

Li Daosheng looked at her: "What do you mean? Are you asking him to go to the women's pool?"

Huizi continued to shake his head, as if trying to figure something out.

After a while, she pointed to the door curtain between the man and the woman: "Mr. Ren, you need to enter here."

Ren Ou glanced around and saw a red warning sign: female pool, danger.

Male pool, red warning, danger.

In the middle pool, only a white question mark appeared.

Unknown, untraceable.

This is a rare situation for Ren Ou.

"Okay." He nodded and agreed.

Li Daosheng pulled him aside, turned sideways to avoid Huizi's gaze, and asked in a low voice: "Is everything okay?"

Ren Ou shook his head: "I don't know."

"Why don't you wait for my news outside?" Li Daosheng said.

Ren Ou glanced at Li Daosheng's eyebrows and said, "We can contact each other anytime."

This is quite...

Li Daosheng was a little confused because of his concern.

Ever since Ren Ou had blocked the insect's self-destruction for him, Li Daosheng had completely let down his guard against Ren Ou. This was the first person he had completely opened his heart to since entering [Thirteenth Month], and he didn't want to hide anything from the other person.

"Well then, be careful. If anything happens, send me a message."

"it is good."

Ren Ou nodded.

The two separated temporarily.

Li Daosheng entered the men's pool and the puppet entered the unknown pool in the middle.

The requirement of the wedge is to clear the exception.

This means they have to take risks and find the anomaly first.

Fortunately, however, ordinary dangers are nothing to them.

But when Li Daosheng entered the men's pool, he felt something was wrong.

It was daytime, but as soon as we entered, it suddenly became dark, and the surroundings were filled with white mist.

Li Daosheng looked back and found that the door curtain he had just entered through was gone.

The entire open-air courtyard felt like a prison, its light hidden deep within the white mist. There were lights everywhere—perhaps electric lights? Or perhaps lanterns?

The water in the hot spring pool was rippling, making a slight "gurgling" sound, as if tempting Li Daosheng to go down.

and many more……

Li Daosheng raised his head and looked at the sky through the mist.

In the pitch-black sky, a blurry moon appeared, and it seemed as if it had hairy edges.

If I remember the time correctly, it is late at night in the world outside the Tanlong gathering place.

Could it be that this step into the hot spring pool is actually a step into the outside world?

The long sword appeared silently in his hand, and Li Daosheng slowly stepped into the water.

The strange thing about the hotel is that you cannot look directly at the owner's face, otherwise you will be "taken away" by him.

What about here?

What is the mystery of hot springs and how to solve it?
Li Daosheng thought about it, mobilized all his energy, and slashed out with a sword. The sword energy instantly split the water mist into two.

Suddenly, Li Daosheng saw a huge figure appear above the fog!

It was a big insect, currently lying on the building of the hot spring hotel, with its head sticking out and constantly breathing out mist.

So, these water mists are spit out by insects?

The mist quickly closed up, and Li Daosheng swung out sword energy again, frantically destroying everything in the open courtyard.

However, it didn't work.

The time here seems to be fixed at a certain moment. No matter what kind of damage is caused to the things in this courtyard, it can be restored to its previous appearance, and exactly the same.

Li Daosheng knew that he was trapped.

The courtyard is not big, and the fog is very thick. A huge insect is swallowing and exhaling water mist. Is this the weirdness of the hot spring?
If we want to escape, it seems that the only way is to find an exit.

Li Daosheng took a look at the hot spring water.

From the moment he entered, the hot spring water in the pool kept making noises, as if calling him to go down quickly.

In that case, then let me grant your wish.

Li Daosheng did not fully enter the hot spring pool, but sat by the pool and put his feet in.

As soon as his feet touched the water, a warm feeling quickly spread up from below and "wrapped" his whole body.

My mind suddenly felt relaxed.

What wedge, what danger, what exit...

At this moment, I suddenly don’t want to think about it anymore.

wrong.

This hot spring water is clearing my will!

"Get up quickly."

Suddenly a voice came to my ear.

Is this the sound of a flower bird?
Li Daosheng shuddered and instantly woke up completely, pulling his feet out of the hot spring with a splash.

When I turned around, I saw that it was indeed the flower bird beside me.
