Xiang Ya looked at the building in front of him seriously and didn't know how long he had been studying it.

It was the first time she saw a house designed in this way. The entire roof was a smooth and slightly concave line. The main body of the building was below the center of the line, with a total of 5 floors.

Starting from the fourth floor, the 4th and 5th floors each protrude one room at the head of the line, and stack up.

The room on the 4th floor protruding from the sky is supported by three long steel bars at the front and back, while the room on the 5th floor has two triangular protrusions on its head.

The protruding room is like a cat's head, the roof is like the cat's back, and the main building below is its belly. The end of the line creates a longer eaves, which looks like a cat's tail from a distance.

The whole building feels like a big cat standing still. If the tenants move in, it is literally living in the "cat's belly".

Xiang Ya stared at a few cats sitting high on the roof. One of the black cats slowly turned to look at her, and suddenly turned to meow at her.

Xiang Ya glanced at the height of the 5th floor from the ground, thinking that this cat is very brave, not afraid of falling from the roof.

Just thinking about it, the black cat jumped from the roof and came straight towards the bud.

"?!"

Xiangya was frightened and hurriedly backed away, but the cat fell steadily, and when he got closer, he could find that its pupils were a rare light gray, and it took elegant steps and slowly circled her feet, rubbing obediently. rub.

"Meow~"

He breathed a sigh of relief, squatted down and touched its head, trying to pick it up.

Seeing it obediently crawling up the nest in her arms, Xiang Ya simply carried it into the house.

This time the hotel is a homestay located on the outskirts of Dongjiang City. This homestay is built with the theme of cats. Many local and neighboring city cat lovers love to come here for a few days to play cats.

There are huge floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides of the door on the first floor, and behind one of them is a cat room, where a lot of cat rooms and other cat supplies are placed.

A dozen cats are standing there, or flapping their tails, or rolling in boredom...

Strangely, when Xiangya walked into the homestay, several of the cats, who were obviously unable to move, straightened their bodies, vigilantly came to the other glass door of the cat room, and scratched the glass anxiously.

Xiang Ya stroked the black cat's smooth fur one after another, then stopped and silently watched the group of cats behaving strangely.

The black cat's gray eyes swept over coldly, and the group of cats screamed and dispersed.

The owner had just finished cleaning when he went downstairs and saw a beautiful girl hugging the most difficult bell in the store, stunned, and hurriedly walked down.

"Welcome, Miss Xiang is here on the phone at 12 o'clock, right?"

Xiang Ya smiled back and said, "Well, it's me."

"Oh, come with me and make a registration first."

The owner put down the things and went to the computer at the counter to operate.

Xiang Ya has been looking at her, wondering why the person in charge of the Spiritual Hotel has not come out yet.

She thought about it and asked, "Are you the only one working here?"

The owner raised his head from the computer and waved his hand to explain: "There is also a cleaning auntie who is still working upstairs."

"I don't know what's going on. It's obviously the off-season, but a lot of people have come to book today's rooms in the past two days. The house is fully booked. It's strange, is it a group building? It's not a group order..."

The shopkeeper turned to talking to himself after speaking, looked at Ya for a while, and then asked, "How many rooms do you have here?"

The shopkeeper focused on two things, and quickly recorded the information. She returned the ID card to Xiang Ya and said, "12 rooms, 3 rooms on each floor, and the first floor is unoccupied."

"I saw rooms protruding from the 4th and 5th floors..."

"Oh, that's the utility room."

"Well, I think your homestay is quite interesting, like a..." Xiang Ya touched the black cat that was nestled in her arms and was about to fall asleep comfortably.

"You want to say like a cat, don't you? A lot of people who live here say the same thing."

The owner, the little elder sister, stared at the bell, which is rare to be comfortable and familiar with a stranger, and saw that the other person looked good, she thought for a while, and told the origin of this homestay.

"I opened this store the year before last." She scratched the back of her head and pointed to the bell. "As you can see, I like cats very much. Back then, I wanted to open a cat cafe in the urban area. gone."

"But one time, when I came here to climb a mountain, I found that there were always a bunch of stray cats gathering here, and most of them were injured. I looked at them poorly and wanted to adopt them..."

As she spoke, her eyes softly looked over Xiang Ya to the cat room behind her.

"They are very poor, homeless, and injured again..." The shop owner's sister paused, "However, as soon as I cured the cats, they would sneak back, so I decided to change the location of the shop. Set here."

Speaking of this, she smiled shyly: "Fortunately, I had some money in my pocket to do this, and it happened that the city was going to develop the suburbs, so I didn't lose money."

Xiang Ya nodded clearly, secretly memorizing the information.

The owner of the shop is actually not extroverted, and it is rare to meet someone who wants to chat, so she continued talking on her own.

"You hold this cat in your hand. It is the most difficult cat in the group. It is called Bell. I can't even hold it. It has a personality and often disappears, but luckily it will come back every once in a while."

She covered her mouth and laughed, "It's as if you came here to tell someone you're safe."

"It's also the first time I've seen it willing to be close to people."

The shop owner stopped here, looked at Xiang Ya seriously, and asked, "I can adopt a cat here. If you like Bell, you can take it home."

Hearing this, the black cat raised its head and opened its mouth wide and meowed lazily, as if urging Xiang Ya to agree.

"Let's talk about it," Xiang Ya smiled, and said after a while, "I'll give you another answer tomorrow morning."

I don't know what will happen when she comes out of the dream tomorrow.

"Okay!" The shopkeeper responded with a full mouth.

Xiang Ya suddenly asked again: "Then why did you name it Bell?"

The shopkeeper answered while tidying up the things on the table.

"Speaking of this incident is also quite miraculous. When I first met these injured cats, the bell hadn't appeared. I had a dream that night. In the dream, there was a black cat squatting in the open space that appeared during the day, and the rest The cats are gone."

"Only it keeps barking at me, and there is a silver bell hanging around its neck. Every time it barks, the bell rings..."

"jingle bell jingle bell..."

"The next day when I went back to the clearing to deal with wild cats, a black cat that looked exactly like the one in my dream appeared, but it didn't have a bell on it, and I didn't want to tie a bell to it later, so I just called it Bell."

After listening to the explanation of the name, Xiang Ya touched Bell's head.

"Your name is Bell, isn't it?"

The black cat opened its eyes and meowed at her, as if in response.

Put the bell down on the bud and take the key.

Seeing this, the owner put down the rag and led the way, "Your room is at 403 on the 4th floor. By the way, I remember that you booked two rooms. I arranged the other room next door. Is it okay?"

"No problem." Xiang Ya replied, "The other friend needs to arrive later."

Officer Zhang has something to do with his work and needs to arrive at Dongjiang City at night.

"Oh, okay, then I'll give you the other key as well."

The shopkeeper stopped and turned to take out the key. The moment she turned around, her whole body suddenly changed.

It was obviously still the same person, but it was replaced by a different feeling.

The owner's face turned blue-black unconsciously, and her eyes were bloodshot. She subconsciously put the key in Xiang Ya's hand.

The opponent's fingers rubbed against Xiang Ya's palm, with a biting chill.

After the cat in the cat house below felt the strange breath, the frightened meow kept sounding.

Only the bell followed Xiangya's feet, calmly acting like a spoiled child.

At this moment, Xiang Ya was inexplicably distracted, and she sighed in her heart that the owner really picked the right place. If there were so many cats in the city, they might be complained by the neighbors for disturbing the people or abusing cats.

After adapting to several dungeons, Xiang Ya became much more courageous, she took it over steadily, and thanked her earnestly.

'I originally thought that the cleaning aunt who hadn't shown up was a staff member, but I didn't expect the owner's sister to be. ' Xiang Yaxin said.

"Hello, I'm the manager of 'There's a Cat' B&B. My surname is Zhang. Just call me Manager Zhang."

The girl in front of her obviously forgot that she had chatted with Xiang Ya just now.

"Hello, I'm Xiangya."

Manager Zhang found that the two were at the connection between the stairs and the first floor, but how did the sleeper in front of him come in before?

She reacted and said in surprise, "Why are you ready to move in? No, why am I only showing up now..."

Xiang Ya quietly watched the ghostly girl look around in a panic.

Until a few seconds later, she held her face in horror and screamed: "God, it must be my sister who received you."

"It's normal for the first few sleepers to greet them. This is the first time this has happened. How can a living person go to sleep for the testers..."

She guessed something bad, and her face turned from blue-black to pale.

"Your sister is dying." Xiang Ya told the truth for her.

Manager Zhang's body was shaky, his face was in disbelief, and he said, "By the way, no sleeper here has cleared the customs. I can't help my sister to prolong her life..."

Xiang Ya looked at her and remembered what Manager Li of the Ami Hotel in the first dream had said, that every manager is actually exchanging work for the life of the person he cares about.

If the supernatural hotel fails to upgrade its star rating, life and life cannot be exchanged.

She just didn't expect the store manager Zhang to prolong her sister's life. Xiang Ya recalled the state of the store owner's little sister, and felt that the words "life is not long" were put on her, which was really inconsistent.

The manager Zhang in front of him quickly refuted himself: "No, even if she is dying, the hotel still stipulates that living people cannot check in for the sleeper, you must be special!"

"Please, help me, I only have this little sister left." Manager Zhang grasped Xiang Ya's hand like he was holding the last straw.

Ling Ding looked up at Xiang Ya and let out a long meow.

Xiang Ya pursed her lips, "I will try my best."

But there was something else in heart: 'I haven't entered the dreamland yet, have encountered such a bizarre thing, don't know what will happen if enter it...'

Store Manager Zhang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words. She intuitively believed in the calm-looking strange girl in front of her.

In order to help Xiang Ya, she took the initiative to talk about today's check-in situation.

"There are 12 rooms in this store, 10 of which are reserved for you and 9 other sleep testers tonight, and 2 of which are booked by ordinary people."

Store manager Zhang had a list in hand, so she conjured up a folder out of thin air and handed it to Xiang Ya.

"You can take a look. Of course, I hope that more of your colleagues will work with you to solve dreams."

Looking down at the check-in records carefully, Xiang Ya said suddenly, "Manager Zhang, you are trying to try anything in a crisis now."

After reading it, she raised the book and waved it.

"You should be glad that you met me now. Although you didn't disclose the dream clues, this information is easy for other interested people to use."

"Especially when the relationship between the sleep testers is not cooperation, but confrontation."

"Other people's information will be used, just like this..."

Xiang Ya conjured a pen out of thin air with his right hand, pulled off the cap of the pen in front of store manager Zhang, and lightly circled the names of the five sleep testers who hadn't arrived at the store on the paper.

"Marked by me."

Xiang Ya pursed her lips and smiled obediently.

The author has something to say:

Xiang Ya: emmm, didn’t expect someone to give me a pillow when was dozing off~

Like to collect hehe~
