“Want a hug, little darling?” The boss bent down and picked up the ugly and weird baby with a big belly. The child didn’t look light, and the boss’s arms were very slender, but he could pick up the clown doll with ease.
“Finally a little heavier.” The boss said with a smile.
The child made a purring sound, and a pair of gray, eyeball-less eyes stared at him unfocused. After a while, the hands as thin as skeletons were still scratching at his face, non-stop with a repeated, “Bao, bao…”
The boss asked doubtfully: “Isn’t this already holding you?”
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…Bao…” The child rubbed his eyes and opened his small mouth. Who knew? The seemingly small opening of the mouth instantly enlarged at least ten times, making it a bloody mouth.
The boss reluctantly went to the counter next to him and pulled out a few bags of snacks, unpacked them and put them on the table at the front desk to coax him to eat them.
The child immediately stopped making trouble and crawled over on hands and knees to nibble on the biscuits. His palms and soles were like suckers, climbing up directly from the ground along the front wall of the front desk.
“You dote on him too much, those Fuji wafers are so expensive…” Qian Ling muttered.
The boss just smiled: “We can’t let him disturb the guests.”
Qian Ling: “What kind of guests are making you so nervous?”
“Three ‘people’,” the boss held out three fingers, “but they have been seen by me. The contact lenses revealed their true identities! Only Mr. Shen among them is a human being, and the other two are monsters.”
Qian Ling raised his eyebrows: “Where is the monster?”
The boss muttered in a low voice: “You make it sound like you are not a monster… Oh, don’t look at me like that, I didn’t say anything. Anyway, I can’t see their real forms with my eyesight.”
“Since they are demons, why were they placed on the seventh floor? Cleaning there is too troublesome!”
“They specially transformed into human forms, and pretended to be humans, so they may not know what’s weird about us here. I think they want to hide it from others. After all, there are mortals among them! Maybe that mortal doesn’t know that his friends are non-human. How can I expose it casually? What if this breaks the boat of their friendship? I might become a sinner through the ages.”
Qian Ling rolled his eyes: “If that human being is eaten by a monster, you will become a sinner through the ages as well.”
The boss blinked: “No, I saw one of them named Maomao with big colored eyes. Qian Qian’s boy, his eyes, tsk tsk, are simply full of love for Mr. Shen; as for the other demon’s eyes towards that Maomao, they are also very focused, like a fanboy… I suspect they are in a love triangle.!”
Qian Ling’s eyes suddenly lit up: “Hey hey hey, so their purpose of opening a three-person room is very suspicious!”
“Don’t gossip about our distinguished guests.”
“Obviously you mentioned it first!”
“I am very pure. You are losing your mind, and you are losing your kidneys.”
“…”
The boss was arguing with the front desk clerk, unaware that the child beside him had finished eating the cookies. He wiped his mouth full of cookie crumbs and raised his head high. He opened his mouth silently and said: “Bao, bao…”
While the two bosses had no time to care about him, the child quietly climbed to the stairwell.
When they came to their senses, there was only a pile of packaging bags of Fuji wafers and biscuits left on the table. Where could the little baby be seen?
“Oops, where did the little boy go?!” The boss was shocked.
“He should have gone back to his room after eating, right?”
“Let’s go check it out. It would be bad if he runs around…” The boss was worried and walked to the second floor.
As a result, the little doll’s room was empty and he had not come back.
Qian Ling consoled him: “Children are playful, so don’t worry. There are restrictions on the seventh floor and he can’t go up. He can climb up the other floors as much as he likes.”
But the boss still felt uneasy and started to search from room to room.
….
Xu Maomao and Baobao followed Void Cat Lord’s instructions and ate the invisibility talisman that was said to be only usable by the cat tribe. Yes, the way to use it was to chew it up and eat it. The taste turned out not bad, it tasted like cod~
Just after eating the talisman paper, the two cats were surprised to find that they had involuntarily returned to their respective cat forms from human form.
Maybe it was restricted to cats only, so they were forced to transform. But that’s okay, the cat’s body was strong, flexible, and very concealable, making it very suitable for the next action.
Xu Maomao’s body had become transparent, but he was still worried and asked Shen Yu: “You really can’t see?”
Shen Yu: “I can’t see, all my eyes can see is air.”
“That’s good, let’s go quickly, the time limit is only half an hour.”
The two cats decided to look for the little master separately, but there was only one pocket watch. Baobao said generously: “Take it, big brother. If I meet the little master, no matter what he has become, I will definitely recognize him, but big brother, you can take it as you don’t know the little master, so I’ll leave the pocket watch for you to wear around your neck. If there is any situation, I will know through its changes.” Baobao added a simple formation to the pocket watch to be able to know the slightest movement on it.
Xu Maomao meowed, grabbed the pocket watch in his mouth, and ran out in a hurry.
He first ran a short distance on this floor, and this time he was surprised to encounter the stairwell.
In fact, in various ghost movies and ghost stories, stairs were very evil places, but evil doors could attract ghosts. Xu Maomao took advantage of his invisibility and boldly ran in.
The stairs were old, and the lights were still so dim, but instead of “never reaching the next floor” as Xu Maomao expected, he quickly went down to the next floor.
However, he looked up: The tenth floor?!
Below seven…shouldn’t it be six?!
Xu Maomao’s heart skipped a beat, he quickly retreated to the stairwell, and then ran back in one breath. Fortunately, he returned to the seventh floor accurately. It seemed that the order may be a bit out of order.
He did not dare to waste time and returned to the stairwell. Unexpectedly, he entered the twelfth floor this time… The decoration was completely different from the seventh floor. It was very splendid and magnificent, just like a palace.
There was no movement from the pocket watch. Xu Maomao continued to walk down, entering the eighth floor, the fifth floor, and the thirteenth floor… The reaction of the pocket watch was very weak, and he did not encounter any strange creatures. The entire hotel was empty, as if they were the only residents.
Xu Maomao estimated the time and found that 20 minutes had been wasted. The effect of the invisibility charm would disappear soon. If he couldn’t find him again, he would probably have to run naked. But Xu Maomao thought about it carefully. It would be okay to run naked. The hotel was completely different from what Mr. Void Cat Lord had described. He didn’t even see any evil ghosts or irritable bosses.
Unexpectedly, he just got carried away, and when he came out of the stairwell again, he almost couldn’t hold back the urge to scream, because as soon as he raised his head, half of a bloody hand fell from the wall in front of him! The hand was tied with a thread, and the other end was connected to the ceiling. It was still dripping blood…
The hair all over Xu Maomao’s body exploded. He took a big step back in fear and looked around at the building sign. That was… the eighteenth floor.
