Infinite Throne

For a while, the whole hotel was quiet, only the sound of the fire burning in the fireplace.

Lorne stood on the steps, looking down at the retrieved human cub, with mocking expectations in his eyes.

Most human beings will show various ugliness when encountering horrible things, the weaker they are, the more frightened they are.

Lorne has seen a lot and this little cub is so cute he wouldn't mind seeing it again.Judging by the steps, there should be a wail of panic at first, and then try to call for help...

But this little cub was too calm.

Those pure red pupils are like bright rubies, reminiscent of warm blood and blooming roses, silently staring at the eyeballs on the ground.

Not the slightest bit of fear, just some novelty.Noticing Lorne's gaze, this little cub even turned to look at Lorne, as if asking, that's it?

Lorne laughed in an instant, it was different from the usual gentle and restrained smile, but a crazy laugh with utmost restraint.

Strange and distorted syllables, issued from the throat, with labored panting sounds, creepy.It seemed that he knew it himself and tried to restrain himself.

When Lilia and Jim heard him laughing wildly, they panicked instantly.Lilia's head rolled quickly, ignoring the two eyeballs, her body also rolled down the stairs in an instant, holding her head, and ran towards the back kitchen.

Jim, who was originally slow, also showed an unreasonable speed. He hurried to the back kitchen, took only two steps, grabbed Lin Yebai's overalls, and took them away together.

The crazy laughter not only rings in the ears, but also seems to be imprinted in the mind, making people unable to bear the headache, chest tightness, and want to vomit.

At the bottom of the stairs, the shadow cast by Lorne expanded rapidly. A monster tore through the human skin, and the arthropod limbs spread out in the air, like many centipede legs, but much more ferocious.

Lin Yebai has an instinct - don't look up.

Looking at the deformed shadow on the ground, he profiled the appearance of Mr. Lorne's body in his mind.There are tentacles on the head, round mouthparts, and probably hundreds of legs, like a monster that failed to evolve in a science fiction movie.

Just the appearance makes people feel dizzy and sick.

Indescribable and definitely not human.

How can this kind of monster increase its horror value?Let it be used as a tool to brush other people.

Lin Yebai kept looking in that direction, but the entire hall was completely dark, completely shrouded in shadows, only the laughter that became more and more crazy.

[Literary Teacher]: A boy who loves to laugh, luck will not be too bad

[Big salty person]: Lorne may be the incarnation of the evil god, Zai Zai should not have close contact with him for the time being, be careful of contamination

[Melon Tianli made a mistake]: The cub's body should be immune, but now it's a projection, so I can't handle it

[Ruanruan cat ears]: You must protect yourself well, don't turn into something weird!please! ! !

[Ordinary Me]: That's not the case

[Messenger of Justice]: Crack!dead upstairs

Lilia and Jim didn't dare to make a sound, and hid in the basement through the small door in the back kitchen, blocking the entrance tightly.

In a panic, Lin Yebai saw the mottled chopping board in the back kitchen, the sharp bone chopping knife, and some hair that hadn't been cleaned.

The basement is unusually quiet, and even the sound of dripping water is very clear... It's not water, that kind of liquid should be slightly denser than water, and judging from the faint breathing sound in the corner, it should be a living thing, in a state of injury, and the bleeding has not stopped.

It's pitch dark here, and Lin Yebai doesn't even know what's in the basement.The basement was built by Lorne, and it was not included in the hotel.

Lin Yebai's knowledge is limited, and the information he has is pitifully little.

The only new knowledge I know is that the sound insulation here is very good, and the crazy laughter is much smaller.

For quite a long time, Lin Yebai's body was not much different from that of an ordinary child.The air was murky and humid, in addition to the strong smell of blood, there was also the smell of rotting meat, Lin Yebai soon felt sleepy.

Maybe after waking up, the person is gone.He closed his eyes, silently practiced the spiritual consciousness technique, and quickly suppressed the sleepiness.

In the distance, apart from the crazy laughter, there are also the sounds of running away in panic, cursing and pleading under extreme terror...it has never been quiet.After about five or six hours, all the sounds disappeared.

【Terror value 1.61%】

These horror values ​​are probably provided by other guests of the hotel.Those poor guys, before they even showed up, became food for monsters.Maybe it was because he was too scared, and he didn't provide much horror value before he died.

The horror value is automatically filled up. I don't know how long it will take. This process will definitely not be too peaceful.

During the process, Lin Yebai briefly shared vision with the main body of the hotel, but still avoided looking directly at Lorne's body, and only saw some guests with incomplete limbs, howling and dying.

"I'm going out for a while, Jim, Lilia, please be sure to entertain the new guests."

"Our lovely little guest, be sure to treat him well... I will be very happy if I can see him on the day I come back."

Lorne's deep and elegant voice came from above the basement, his tone was calm and gentle, and his footsteps were not too fast or slow, one could imagine him leaving calmly.

For at least half an hour, the hotel was completely quiet.

Only then did Jim dare to push open the door of the basement. He seemed to be terrified, took a few breaths, and went up the steps, holding Lin Yebai in his left hand and Lilia in his right.

Lilia was still holding her head at this time, her eyes were hollow and dark, and she looked a little dazed.

"It's good luck...but...maybe it's just bad luck."

Jim looked at Lin Yebai who was still calm, and his voice was muffled, as if speaking out, his eyes were still pitiful.

"My eyeballs seem to be in some dark place, where did they go..." Lilia looked bewildered.Her head was completely hollow, and she didn't realize that her future life would change a little, and she didn't respond to Lorne's words.

"Here you are." Lin Yebai took out a pair of eyeballs from the pocket of his overalls and handed them to Lilia.

"So you can talk? Maybe you are also a little monster, so I wish you can adapt to the new life here as soon as possible, maybe you will like it." Jim closed the heavy iron door in the basement and added a big lock.

"Thank you." Lin Yebai thanked politely.

"What a nice boy, maybe you need a little food?" Jim heard his stomach growling.He looked down at the little human cub, and at some point, there were a few fresh bloodstains on the child's arm, probably scratched when he hurried into the basement.

The not-so-serious injuries appeared on the cub, which looked a bit shocking.If Lorne sees... Mr. Lorne likes things that look perfect.

Instead Jim breathed a sigh of relief for the little cub and asked:

"How about honey butter bread?"

Lin Yebai nodded slightly, he is not picky about food.At least this sounds normal. I just saw the scene of a large massacre last night, and I don't have much appetite.

"Wait for me to clean up the kitchen, soon."

"Lilia, take him out to play, don't run too far."

Jim glanced casually into the hall, the carpet was completely blood-stained and needed to be replaced, and there might be some other odds and ends that were not suitable for children to see.

Even if the little cub is not normal, Jim still hopes that he will see as few strange pictures as possible.

"Go... the nightingale will sing in the forest before dawn."

Lilia fixed her eyes, turned her head to look at Lin Yebai, and waited cautiously.She has no playmates, and the guests who live here can't accept her appearance, which has always made Lilia feel inferior.

This new little guest was different, Lilia simply liked him so much.He is like an infant angel painted on the church wall, only missing a pair of white wings.

"Ah."

Lin Yebai looked at the wound on his arm, it was because Lorne went crazy and accidentally destroyed some buildings of the hotel while killing the guests.

Walls are peeling, wallpaper is damp, doors and windows are shattered.

Lorne should be very valuable, killing at least tens of thousands of points.

"What were you thinking? Looks happy."

Although the little cub had no expression, Lilia had a very keen sense of emotions, and found that this precious playmate was in a better mood, and she was a little curious.

"Why is Mr. Lorne smiling so happily?" Lin Yebai asked back.

"He is always very happy." Lilia also laughed:

"But when he laughs, we have to hide as soon as possible, otherwise we will be eaten."

"Look at my head, I just ran slowly and lost it accidentally."

"Fortunately, Mr. Lorne found me a new one. This one is very durable." Lilia patted her head to show that she was satisfied with it, and her eyeballs fell to the ground again.

Lin Yebai stopped in time, almost knocked her eyes out, and asked:

"Maybe you need to fix your eyes?"

"No, I wash my eyes every morning and evening. I'm a clean girl." Lilia was a little shy. This little guest is so cute and gentle.This feeling of being taken care of is the first time.

"..." Lin Yebai was silent.

"Can you be friends with me? I will protect you." Lilia summoned up her courage and raised her head quietly.
