There is no way to describe the feeling of being seen by those eyes.

Lu Xin is very sure that the lady at the front desk is not a person with abilities, let alone Mental Monster.

But in her crazy state, she suddenly stopped and slowly opened her bloodshot eyes to look at them, which gave people a very strong sense of weirdness. Especially, when the front desk lady looked at them, her pupils didn't seem to change at all.

She made a gesture to look at her people, but she didn't seem to see them in her eyes.

This feeling was like being stared at by a dead body.

"I'll go..."

Gecko was also shocked by this look. He subconsciously took a step back and said, "Miss, have you not slept for how many days?"

The front desk lady didn't respond.

She stood there, and after a long time, her pupils slowly shrank and gained focus.

It was only then that she looked a bit like a living person.

"You want to stay?"

She said, "One hundred rooms, and the deposit is one thousand per person."

When she spoke, there was a gap of about half a second between the pronunciation of each word.

It made her feel as sluggish as a radio that was about to run out of power.

"Huh?"

Lu Xin frowned slightly after hearing her words.

This price is not only expensive, it is simply a money grab...

Especially the deposit of 1,000 yuan per person sounds like a joke.

"Damn, is it so expensive?"

But Captain Lu didn't need to speak in person, Gecko had already shouted, "Little sister, did you remember the price wrong?"

"Uh-huh!"

It wasn't an excessive complaint, but the girl behind the front desk suddenly stared hard at Gecko. Her bloodshot eyes were becoming brighter, as if blood would flow out of her eye sockets at any time, which was shocking.

"You don't have to live here if you don't want to."

She suddenly cursed harshly, "Poor, bumpkin, why should I stay in a hotel if it's too expensive?"

"..."

Faced with her anger, Lu Xin and the others were suddenly embarrassed.

Lu Xin has a good temper, but he doesn't know how to deal with such a situation. Red Snake is very honest, but he is a little speechless.

But Gecko couldn't stand it anymore and patted the counter angrily. "What kind of service attitude do you have?"

"Wow..."

Not to mention it was okay, but after saying that, the front desk lady suddenly grabbed the registration book in front of her and threw it directly at Gecko.

"This is my service attitude..."

She was as irritable as an irritable lioness, roaring, "If you don't like it, hurry up Gun Kai..."

"Hey, you..."

Gecko dodged the register, angrily rolled up his sleeves, and shouted, "I really don't think I can deal with you anymore..."

As he spoke, he took a step back and said to Red Snake behind him, "Come on, I don't take anger, but I don't hit women."

"Huh?"

The introverted and shy Red Snake was startled for a moment, and was a little panicked by what Gecko said.

Why is it your turn to fight?

The key is, this is Deputy Captain asking him to fight, should he go up or not?

However, just when Red Snake subconsciously cast a look for help at Lu Xin, the lady at the counter became even more angry. She even shed tears of anger and shouted at the top of her voice, "There are so many of you, why do you bully me, a little girl?"

"If you don't hit me, I will hit you again. I will fight with you..."

"..."

As he spoke, there was already a cry in his voice, and he climbed up on the counter with all his strength, trying to rush over and beat Gecko.

Gecko was also a little frightened and quickly winked at Han Bing.

Han Bing understood, took a step forward, grabbed the arm of the front desk lady who was about to climb up the counter, but failed because she was a little confused, pushed her back to where she was, and said with a smile, "It's okay, don't be angry. If we want to register, how should we pay?"

Hearing the words "register" and "pay", the front desk lady seemed a little dazed.

She seemed to be so abruptly asked that she even forgot to get angry.

After being startled for a moment, he replied, "Only Alliance currency will be accepted. Gold will also be accepted, but it will not be cut."

"It doesn't matter, we have Alliance currency."

Han Bing answered with a smile, and then picked up the register from the ground for her.

Her voice was gentle and patient, with a comforting tone, and she signed the register very cooperatively.

First he took out four hundred-yuan notes and paid the room fee to the little girl at the front desk one by one. Then he took out a stack of notes, counted out twenty of them and handed them to the little girl as a deposit, and quietly watched the little girl take them in a daze.

"Two thousand more."

When she saw that the little girl had collected the two thousand deposit, she reminded her with a smile and ordered another two thousand for her.

The little girl at the front desk didn't seem to notice anything was wrong. When she saw Han Bing giving it to her, she took it and stuffed it into the drawer.

It seems that even if Han Bing doesn't give her the two thousand later, she will directly register it as a deposit of four thousand to Lu Xin.

After successfully obtaining the room card and confirming that the car could be temporarily parked in front of the hotel, they took their luggage and took the elevator.

"This girl is obviously contaminated."

After entering the elevator, Han Bing sighed softly and said to Lu Xin:

"She has been severely deprived of sleep, so she has shown characteristics such as slowness, irritability, distraction, and abnormal excitement. However, she obviously did not realize this. Otherwise, she would not have such a big problem. She is still working conscientiously in the hotel. This should be the state of most people in Black Marsh City, where their sleep is more or less stolen."

"However, they may not know it yet, and it is possible that they just think that they are not in good condition recently."

"..."

"Besides, the time that her sleep was stolen should be less than half a month."

Gecko said with a smile, "If she hasn't slept for half a month, then she probably doesn't have enough energy to dance like crazy now. I looked at her dance just now. Her posture was quite standard, and her waist was twisted..."

"Tsk tsk..."

"..."

Han Bing shook his head, ignored the second half of Gecko's inappropriate sentence, and continued his analysis:

"This means that the fall of Black Marsh City should be reflected in the fact that most people have lost a certain amount of sleep."

"But the amount of sleep lost is not necessarily the same."

"The most serious one may have completely lost sleep, which lasted for nearly 20 days."

"It's lighter. Maybe only part of the eight hours of sleep was stolen, and it didn't last that long..."

"The other thing is..."

Han Bing took out a small mental detector, waved it in front of Lu Xin, and said:

"I was close to her just now to observe, but the value on the mental detector did not fluctuate."

"In other words, this should be considered a deep-seated pollution."

"The mode of pollution is to steal, not to give..."

"..."

Lu Xin nodded. He was also the captain after all. Naturally, he saw that in the little dispute just now, Gecko and Han Bing actually had the intention of observing the receptionist lady. Especially Han Bing, although she was only observing from the side, she had already obtained a lot of information.

Of course, we cannot draw accurate conclusions just by looking at this person, and more observations are needed.

"Ding..."

The elevator reached the corresponding floor and the door slowly opened.

Lu Xin They stepped on the thick carpet and walked quietly in the dark and narrow corridor.

There were hotel rooms on both sides, and various slightly weird sounds came out.

Some of the sounds should be "papapapa" coming from people clapping happily. In some rooms, there are "dong dong dong" coming from people who are banging their heads against the wall, and there are also "hum hum hum" coming from drunk people lying on the floor rolling around.

In addition, there are all kinds of strange sounds, making the hotel full of weird restlessness.

They walked through the corridor and even saw that some rooms had been forgotten to close. People inside had dark circles under their eyes and were staring at computers.

Lu Xin They passed by his door, but he ignored them. Only the blue light of the computer shone on Muna's face.

Lu Xin understands that this is all weirdness caused by lack of sleep...

Just as they were thinking about it, they turned a corner in the corridor, and then they suddenly stopped.

Right in front of them, in the corridor, was a woman wearing only a nightgown and dancing in the corridor with bare feet.

She looked to be in her thirties and had a great figure. She seemed to be wearing nothing in her nightgown. She stepped quietly on the carpet as if she was drunk. She crossed her hands and made various flower shapes. Her movements were lazy and slow, like a ghost in the middle of the night.

She blocked the way, and Lu Xin and others had to stop.

Under the dim light, the woman danced as if there was no one around, with a dazed expression on her face.

Gecko stared blankly at this woman as she slowly lifted up her slender and straight legs and put them upright against the wall. She leaned back lightly and her perfect figure was immediately revealed. Her eyes straightened a bit, but she soon frowned slightly.

At this time, the dancing woman turned her head slightly, as if she just realized that Lu Xin were approaching.

Her face, which seemed to have not taken off makeup for a long time, slowly showed a strange smile, and her red lips spread to both sides.

There was a kind of unconscious confusion in his voice. "Hehe, I'm so tired..."

"It's like stepping on clouds..."

"But I can't sleep..."

"So, why don't you come over and play with me..."

"..."

As she spoke, she stood up straight, her feet seemed to be stepping on clouds, swaying, and walking forward lightly.

"Huh?"

Lu Xin suddenly looked at Gecko worriedly.

But they didn't expect that the woman just took two steps forward and her body suddenly stiffened slightly.

Without even a hint of warning, the confused smile on her face suddenly froze, and then her body fell forward softly.

"Ouch..."

Gecko hurriedly jumped up to her and hugged her to prevent her from falling directly to the ground.

Then his expression suddenly froze and he became a little frightened.

He frowned, put his hand on her neck and her heart, and pressed them respectively. His expression became darker.

"Dead."

Gecko turned to look at Lu Xin, whispered, and then slowly let the woman lie flat on the ground.

Lu Xin looked at the woman in silence, her mood becoming a little complicated.

Although this result is sudden, it is not unexpected.

It can be seen from the dark circles under her eyes and the frighteningly haggard expression that her symptoms of fatigue are much more serious than those of the lady at the front desk.

When insomnia reaches a certain level, sudden death is a common thing.

But it was hard for him to describe the feeling. It was scary to watch this woman die silently in front of him.

This silent way of death seemed more terrifying than being shot to death.

"What should we do now?"

A group of four people stood in the corridor, surrounding the woman's body. They all felt that the corridor was a little depressing.

The introverted Red Snake seemed a little frightened. After a while, he asked in a low voice.

"Put her here first, and just notify the front desk."

Lu Xin was silent for a while before answering softly.

Gecko nodded, was silent for a moment, and then said, "But what is more important now is the current situation of the entire Black Marsh City. It seems that the pollution here is more serious than we imagined. If this pollution is allowed to spread, there may be a sudden death of a large number of residents. Should we consider asking their Administrative Hall to understand the situation as soon as possible so that we can start cleaning it up?"

"Not yet."

Lu Xin Before he could answer, Han Bing gave his suggestion first.

Seeing that they were all looking at him, Han Bing blushed slightly and whispered, "I am not a person with abilities, but I have been exposed to special pollution incidents very early, and have gone through several trainings. I always feel that the current Black Marsh City problem should be serious. When the original contact person did not contact us in time, it is very dangerous to directly contact their Administrative Hall at this time..."

After a pause, she said, "At least, we need to observe it first before talking."

Gecko and Red Snake glanced at each other subconsciously. As ability users, they still didn't seem to understand Han Bing's choice.

After all, Han Bing is just an ordinary person, and people with abilities have innate advantages in this area.

"I agree with Han Bing."

Lu Xin glanced at Han Bing, nodded softly, and continued to walk forward silently. Suddenly he turned back, looked at Han Bing and said, "Besides, you don't need to live apart from us for the time being. If you have a rest tonight, you can stay in my room."
