266: Chapter 27 The Mysterious Inn

"Are they also people from the Upper Realm? Could it be that these Ghostly Entities also have an Upper Realm for the Ghost Dao, similar to the Heavenly Demon Realm?"

"It's actually possible."

He couldn't help but think.

But he didn't interrupt their performance.

He prepared to play along with them.

He walked up to the counter.

And asked,

"Hello, do you still have any vacant rooms?"

The maid had a very bright smile.

Lu Chen saw that she seemed to lick her lips.

"We do, esteemed guest. And it's a superior room, the most luxurious suite in our inn."

"Given your appearance, I can charge you the normal rate."

The maid said with a smile.

"Moreover, you can order more services too, you know... like..."

As she spoke,

She slightly unbuttoned the front of her top.

The maid beside her slapped her on the head.

She quickly bowed respectfully.

"Apologies, esteemed guest. Here is your key. The room number is Jia-character number three. Go up to the second floor, turn left, and it will be the second room on the left."

Lu Chen was very surprised.

The acting skills of these two little spirits were quite good.

But he still thanked them.

Then he took the key with a smile and left.

The inn was real.

But the bloody scenes inside,

Were concealed by an illusion.

Like a drawn curtain,

Covering a stage.

All newcomers who came to stay here,

Were like actors stepping onto the stage.

Ultimately dying in various horrific ways.

Lu Chen went up to the second floor.

The illusion was still ongoing.

Until the room.

The room was actually quite nice.

It wasn't an illusion.

It seemed they hadn't murdered anyone using the guest rooms yet.

Lu Chen quickly got into bed.

After Lu Chen left,

The two maids were practically drooling.

"Such a powerful life aura. Master will probably really enjoy his flesh and blood, but before that, let's absorb his Yang Qi."

They smiled charmingly.

Lu Chen could clearly hear their voices.

It was as if someone was speaking right next to his ear.

Lu Chen also smiled.

He was becoming increasingly curious about the secret behind this small town.

Night soon arrived.

Afterward,

He heard a knock on the door.

One of the maids had come to deliver food.

Lu Chen opened the door.

When she saw Lu Chen,

She couldn't help but laugh.

"Esteemed guest, this food is a specialty of our inn, please enjoy it."

Lu Chen took the food box.

And said a word of thanks.

The meal looked very tempting.

However, Lu Chen immediately knew there was an aphrodisiac in it.

And it was extremely potent.

If an ordinary person took one bite,

They might even assault a sow.

Completely consumed by desire,

Losing all reason.

That maid waited outside patiently.

She was waiting for Lu Chen to finish the meal.

Then come out and unleash his beastly nature.

And then...

Thinking of that scene,

She couldn't help but lick her lips again.

But the aphrodisiac would only take effect half an hour after finishing the food.

At that time,

Her Master would return to the town to extract the Soul.

Lu Chen burned the food to ashes.

Waiting for news from Qiao Wei.

She had entered that old man's house.

Initially,

The old man didn't want to let her in.

But she forcibly entered using her martial strength.

Then Qiao Wei chatted with the old man for half an hour.

Immediately after,

She notified Lu Chen.

Lu Chen teleported her into the room.

Since her body was condensed by Lu Chen,

He could teleport her anywhere he wished.

"Did you gather any information?"

She nodded.

"Master, the old man didn't want to speak at first, but he opened up after I applied a little pressure."

"This small town wasn't like this before. It was a very lively, prosperous, and normal town where the common people lived and worked in peace."

"It all changed about half a year ago, after a stranger arrived in town."

"That man and his two daughters rented a courtyard in town."

"Strangely, they never came out after moving in, and no one ever saw them leave, nor did they ever come out to buy food or daily necessities."

On the fifth day after the man arrived here,

Women in the town started disappearing inexplicably.

Everyone became somewhat panicked.

They hurriedly reported it to the officials.

But the government organized the strong young men,

And searched with all their might,

But they could never find her.

Then things spiraled out of control.

Every night, a woman would disappear.

This situation lasted for a month.

Scaring everyone so much that they didn't dare to go out at night.

However, the disappearances of women did not stop.

The families of the missing girls said,

They only heard a strange sound.

Then they remembered nothing.

When they opened their eyes,

Their own daughter was gone.

The ones who disappeared in the first two months,

Were unmarried young girls.

Then gradually it became young women.

This situation continued for several months,

Then they started losing children.

Until the whole affair dragged on for six months,

Everyone began to speculate.

That this kind of incident was very likely related to that strange family in town.

The people finally couldn't bear it anymore.

They surrounded the courtyard,

Broke down the door and entered.

Then they saw a scene resembling Hell inside.

Many people were so scared they fainted on the spot.

Blood was everywhere.

There were broken bones.

Shattered organs.

And even skulls covered in fresh blood.

The people recognized those skulls.

They were the skulls of the women and children who had previously disappeared.
