“Look, there are pressed marks on the ground here…

the area is quite large, it shouldn’t be from a car or anything, and the shape is very regular, like…” Wen Wen thought for a moment but didn’t finish his sentence. freewebnσvel.cøm

“A house, there used to be a house here!”

Yan Xiu grabbed a handful of soil, held it in front of his mask, and sniffed deeply, “This house left here about five or six days ago, it’s a wooden house.”

“Well done, kid, well done!”

Wen Wen patted Yan Xiu on the shoulder, not because Yan Xiu’s sense of smell was better than Wen Wen’s, but because Wen Wen hadn’t thought in that direction.

But…

how could the kid smell it through the mask?

Yan Xiu stood up, removed Wen Wen’s hand, and looked at him with a trace of disdain.

This confused Wen Wen, why did he disdain me?

That feeling wasn’t abomination, fury, or condescension, it was disdain!

Just as if Wen Wen was a smelly old man, and he was a fresh young fairy.

“So what we are looking for is a moving house, right?” As a senior member of the Hunters Association, Lin Lu hadn’t noticed anything, but she was not known for her intellect, her specialty was combat.

“Let’s follow this road and see, since all the people disappeared on this road, the house might still be nearby; a large target like that, we can’t miss it once we see it.” Wen Wen decided.

The three continued driving along the road, back and forth, and soon it began to get dark.

Just as they were preparing to head straight back to Furong River City, an ancient-looking inn suddenly appeared in front of them.

Yes, it appeared suddenly, without any warning, it was an empty plot of land before, but now there stood an inn.

Although the appearance of the inn was abrupt, it wasn’t surprisingly so, if it weren’t for Wen Wen and the others already knowing about the existence of a mysterious moving house, they might not have even noticed anything odd.

They felt this way, let alone ordinary people.

“We’ve checked this road twice today and didn’t see any inn, and now this inn suddenly appears, our target must be this,” Wen Wen clapped his hands and said, looking at the retro inn.

“This inn has a strong stench of filth, though not as strong as the one on you, it must be the place.” Yan Xiu got out of the car and walked straight to the entrance of the inn, looking around.

“Filth…

you’re the filthy one.” Wen Wen was utterly confused.

The doors of the inn were open; although it looked small from the outside, the inside was another story altogether: the downstairs was a restaurant, the upstairs rooms, and there were quite a few staff members, at least seven or eight.

An old man in his seventies with a walking cane sat at the entrance, looking kindly at Wen Wen and the others; a middle-aged woman in her forties washed dishes and vegetables at the back, and from the kitchen came the booming calls of the chefs.

A young couple stood by the counter, one handling the accounts and the other in charge of beverages, a five or six-year-old child sat at a dining table nearby, playing with an old-fashioned rattle drum.

All this seemed so harmonious, harmonious to the point of being eerie!

“These people…

all of them have disappeared around here lately!” Lin Lu observed for a while, then leaned in to whisper to the others.

“So their disappearance was about playing roles here,” Wen Wen chuckled, finding the situation quite intriguing.

But Yan Xiu couldn’t laugh; the people who should have disappeared were all here, and it seemed they had become someone else.

“How can you laugh at this, finding joy in seeing such evil trifling with lives?” Yan Xiu glanced sideways at Wen Wen, his eyes filled with even more disdain.

Wen Wen’s smile brightened, his hands outstretched in a gesture of surrender, but his smile was utterly cold.

“Since this place is so evil, I might as well blow it up; I still have two rocket grenades left, enough to completely destroy a wooden structure like this.”

“There are so many ordinary people here, and you’re ready to sacrifice them without even trying to save them?

It’s true, you Hunters have no faith…”

Wen Wen interrupted him, “Then why don’t you go in, instead of standing here arguing with me!”

Since this guy had been provoking him from the start, Wen Wen felt no need to be polite.

The two argued at the door for quite a while but neither of them stepped inside the inn.

Neither of them were rookies when it came to encountering supernatural events.

This inn, which made so many ordinary people forget who they were, could potentially make them, as superpower users, forget their purpose and become part of the inn as well.

Therefore, even while they were arguing, neither would enter the inn before understanding what it really was.

The people inside the inn just watched Wen Wen and the other man discuss, with no one attempting to stop them, all busy with their own affairs, as if Wen Wen and the other man didn’t exist to them.

However, the issue had to be resolved, and dragging it out was not a solution.

The two stopped mocking each other.

Wen Wen waved his hand towards the doorman and asked, “Excuse me, how much is it to stay here?”

The doorman turned mechanically, his mouth opening and closing as he said, “The rooms here are full, we are not accommodating any more guests.”

Wen Wen’s eyes narrowed, “Not accommodating…

It seems this inn already knows we are superpower users, either it doesn’t want to provoke us or it’s afraid of us…”

Yan Xiu reached in, grabbed the doorman’s collar, and pulled him out, whispering harshly, “What if we insist on going in?”

“The rooms are full, we are not accommodating any more guests.”

The doorman repeated the same line, even his tone unchanged, not swayed by having his collar grabbed.

Wen Wen lightly traced a finger along the doorman’s neck, then lifted it to his nose and took a deep sniff, smiling.

Meanwhile, Yan Xiu’s mask underwent a strange change, with several large characters appearing on it.

I got it!

Caught off guard, Wen Wen stared, You got it?

What did you get?

Why are there characters appearing on your mask?

No wonder this guy said to watch his facial expressions, because his face has characters on it!

The two exchanged a glance, then stepped forward simultaneously into the inn, leaving Lin Lu standing behind them, baffled by how their actions had suddenly synchronized after their argument.

After a moment’s thought, she followed them in; her task was to ensure the mission went smoothly and she certainly did not want to see the two men start fighting.

“The rooms are full, we are not accommodating any more guests.” The innkeeper approached them and said, repeating the same line as if the people in this inn could only say this phrase.

“You’re not accommodating, but we’re going up to look anyway.” Yan Xiu pushed the innkeeper aside and walked upstairs.

Wen Wen’s eyes whirled, and in a flash, he appeared in the center of the inn, grabbed something, and then ran upstairs.

The people, aside from repeating the same phrases, did nothing to stop the three, as if they were NPCs in a video game…

After all three had gone upstairs, the people downstairs gathered together, uniformly looking up towards the upstairs.

As if waiting for blood to seep down!
