The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 60 — Ruga Accommodation (2)
Lian Haocun and Chao Bence thought through the various estimates in their respective minds while climbing the stairs towards the room they ordered. Shen Wenhuan opened the room they had booked, inside just like a regular inn room.
There are mattresses, tables, chairs and various other supplies. There was not a single dust left in the room. They checked all the rooms they ordered and the result was that all the interiors in the rooms were the same and very clean.
They checked the last room they booked, then they sat on the carpet.
Shen Wenhuan commented, “The waiter of this inn is very diligent in cleaning. Not a single dust left.”
Lian Huanran agreed to her Master's comment. Lian Haocun checked around and looked at Chao Bence, Chao Bence nodded with a serious expression on his face and made a strong barrier.
It is certainly very difficult for people outside the barrier to know what is happening inside the barrier, because the barrier also has optical and auditory illusions.
Shen Wenhuan turned his casual attitude into a serious one, “What happened?”
The atmosphere became somewhat tense and turned serious.
Lian Haocun explained, “After we leave, the facial expressions of the receptionists and the maids changed drastically to be strange and mysterious. I saw them from a crack in the stairs, luckily they didn't notice it.”
Chao Bence also nodded in agreement to Lian Haocun's words.
Lian Huanran said, “This inn is very strange. Although they tried to cover it up though, this inn was surrounded by a thick fog that could make people bounce, but why would they have to pretend?”
Chao Bence responded by shaking his head ignorantly while putting his finger on his chin, thinking.
Then Chao Bence said, “We are very short of clues. In the room there is nothing strange except there are no windows or other ventilation so the room becomes rather stuffy, but it is certain that this inn only has two floors. One floor for the inn hall and another floor for the room.”
Shen Wenhuan muttered ‘Hm’ and asked, “Do we have to investigate VIP guests in that 5th room?”
Chao Bence replied, “That can be done later. Let's check the food first. Maybe we'll get a new lead.”
Lian Huanran felt confused, ‘What is the relationship of eating with the new instructions?’
Shen Wenhuan and Lian Haocun nodded. It made Lian Huanran even more confused and wondering in my heart, ‘Is my brain so stupid that I don't understand what Chao Bence means?’
Then they changed into clothes that had already absorbed their sweat during the forty minute journey before descending down.
The receptionist remained in the same place while the other servants were still continuing to clean up like they had no other job.
The waiter who had previously welcomed them, came up to them and asked, “What do the Gentlemen want?”
Shen Wenhuan replied briefly, “Food.”
The waiter wanted to resign himself to prepare the meal but Chao Bence who already had a smile on his face somehow at some point, said in a seductive, flirtatious tone,
“Can this beautiful lady stay here? We want to ask you a few things to spend time.”
The maid's face called the young lady did not change at all, a polite and friendly smile remained on her face.
The waiter said, “Alright, I'll ask another waiter to prepare a meal.”
Then the servant called another servant and said a few things before the servant who was called, went to prepare the meal. The maids who greeted Shen Wenhuan, Lian Haocun, Lian Huanran and Chao Bence stood on the spot while staring at the four of them with polite and friendly smiles, waiting for a question.
Chao Bence started asking questions in a coquettish and flirtatious tone to tempt women, “Where did this young lady come from?”
Chao Bence said meaningful ‘Oh’ and asked some pleasantry questions like really again teasing a woman.
Shen Wenhuan did not want to let Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran watch that indecent scene, yet he could not do so.
After all they were investigating right now and Shen Wenhuan could not interfere. So Shen Wenhuan could only sigh heavily inwardly and hope that his students were not polluted.
Most of Chao Bence's questions were answered by the waiter with the words ‘Don't remember' and others. Chao Bence kept a charming friendly smile, as if not at all bothered by the waiter's reply.
“Oh, so where is this? Why is this inn surrounded by thick fog?”
The waiter's friendly and polite smile froze for a moment and the atmosphere became silent and silent. Even the sound of crickets will be heard.
The waiter could not respond to this quick ‘angin’ change and looked confused about what to answer. Right at that moment, the waiter who was asked to prepare the meal came out and broke the frightening atmosphere of silence, “Food is ready.”
Then some waiters began to compose the food at the round table where Shen Wenhuan, Lian Haocun, Lian Huanran and Shen Wenhuan were seated. Then the servants lined up to form a line, like waiting for 'praise'.
The fragrant smell of food was smelled all over the inn hall that was not too wide. As if forgetting the previous question, Chao Bence asked again in a cheerful tone but Chao Bence's eyes became darker than before, “Harum once... What food is this?”
The clustered servants looked confused to answer the question. Chao Bence looked at Shen Wenhuan, his master and his master's twin sister, Lian Huanran.
Understanding the meaning of Chao Bence's watchful gaze, they did not take a bite to eat. Chao Bence smiled cheerfully as before, in a coquettish and flirtatious tone Chao Bence said,
“We will eat only in our room. It feels a bit embarrassing to be seen eating by the pretty ladies, doesn't it?”
Chao Bence winked one eye at the waiter.
The previously bright eyes of the servants looked slightly darker and fainter. The waiter who greeted Shen Wenhuan, Lian Haocun, Lian Huanran and Chao Bence said, More,
“Please. Do you want us to bring the food?”
Chao Bence shook his head and said in a tone like before, “No need, beautiful lady. We do not want to trouble and spend precious beautiful miss time.”
Then they took each dish that was still a bit hot and took it to one of the rooms.
The expressions on the faces of the clustered servants and the receptionists changed drastically. They look disappointed but they laugh too.
The sight of the maids crowding together with strange facial expressions looked so terrifying that it could make people scream in fear. Then they resumed cleaning activities, as if they had no other job or they were just ‘programmed’ like that.
After arriving at the room and making a barrier again, Chao Bence changed his facial expression from a smile to serious in a few seconds. “This meal..”.
Lian Huanran looked curious. Shen Wenhuan's facial expression looked complicated, then Shen Wenhuan said, continuing,
“Meats human race.”
As Lian Huanran's expression changed, Lian Huanran looked disbelieving but also surprised. Trembling and stuttering Lian Huanran said, “B-b-aga-ai-m-a-an-a b-i-s-s-a!?”
