Chapter 484
Moonlight Moria and Perona were like two headless flies, following the lights and wandering around the coastline. It was too late today to enter the depths of the island in the dark. They agreed to find a place to stay first, and then go to explore whether there was an ancient cemetery on the island after repairs tomorrow. After walking for about twenty minutes, the town on the island finally came into their sight. Many things were so familiar that they felt like they were back home. The night enveloped the town. The faint moonlight shone through the clouds and sprinkled on the bluestone road, creating a hazy glow. The street lamps on the street emitted a dim light, but the green ghost fire flickered in the lampshade, making the whole scene look eerie and strange. The outline of the building was blurred in the dark, as if hiding an unknown secret. The wind blew silently, and the cold air flow hit people's faces, making people shiver. Occasionally, one or two strange noises were heard on the quiet streets, as if something was secretly watching. This town was full of weirdness, making people feel an inexplicable fear, as if every corner might hide danger.
If it were other pirates, they might avoid this place, but what kind of people are the Terror Bark Pirates? They have been with ghosts and zombies for many years, and their minds are full of dark creatures. They are not afraid of the scene in front of them.
Because they agreed in advance not to cause trouble as much as possible, which might attract the attention of the navy, Perona and the others planned to choose a hotel to stay in first. They had no idea of forcibly occupying other people's broken houses. The two of them didn't care about this property.
The girl came to the door of a hotel and knocked on the door with her little fist, "Is anyone there? Are you providing accommodation now? We can pay more!"
After knocking for about two minutes, Perona was about to give up, but who knew that there was movement inside the next moment, a slow footstep gradually approached the outer door, and the door opened from the inside with a creak.
Through the dim candlelight inside the door, an old woman with a haggard face and wrinkled skin like bark stood quietly, holding a shabby lantern in her hand, and the faint light swayed in the darkness.
Surprisingly, there was only one eye on her face, and the other was a black hole. When she tried to open her mouth to speak, a stench suddenly hit her face. It was an unbearable stench, a decayed smell emanating from her body.
"Five hundred thousand Baileys a night, no bargaining"
The old woman's tone was unquestionable, and her dry hands were holding the door ready to close at any time.
Originally, Gekko Moria wanted to force his way in. When did the pirates have to pay for the store, but Perona took out a stack of cash from her small bag and handed it to the old woman.
After touching the texture of the Bailey banknotes and finding that there was no problem, the old man let the two in. Sure enough, money can make everything go smoothly and everything can be solved with money.
Perona believed that it was better to do less than more, and spending a little money would not cause any conflict. Moreover, they would only stay in the store for one night. If they did not gain anything when they entered the island tomorrow, they would have to find a way to leave and look for a new sea tomb.
The store owner led the way with a lantern in her hand. In order to accommodate the huge body of Moonlight Moria, she chose a room that was enough for more than ten people.
After seeing the two outsiders enter, she finally reminded them: "Don't pay attention to any strange noises outside, sleep peacefully in the house, and leave early tomorrow morning. Outsiders are not welcome here."
After giving these instructions, she turned around and left without staying here for long. Holding the dim little lantern in her hand, she gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor with a staggering step.
What strange noises could there be? Perona and Gekko Moriah just smiled at each other. They have seen many such small scenes. Either they pretend to be ghosts or they commit murder for money. No matter which way they go, the Terror Bark Pirates are not afraid. If someone dares to come to the door to cause trouble, Gekko Moriah doesn't mind cutting off his shadow and making him a zombie for his own people to use.
Perona carefully checked the furnishings and layout of the room with her eyes. Compared with the gloomy and terrifying outside, the interior space is mostly warm-colored, giving people a comfortable and easy-to-sleep feeling, which is not much different from the hotel she usually stays in.
"What a weird thing, is it a decoration left by the previous guest?"
The girl stepped forward and grabbed it in her hand. It felt cold and hard like a stone. Moreover, under deliberate efforts, the eyes, nose, and mouth were distributed on all sides of the stone, and could not form a complete human face, which added a sense of absurdity to Perona's heart.
"Isn't it just an ordinary stone? Don't waste that thought and hurry up.Go to sleep, we have to get up early tomorrow to find ancient tombs in the mountains."
Moonlight Moria put several beds together, and he lay horizontally in the middle, so that the multiple beds could barely support the man's heavy weight. If the bed was broken, he would pay for it later. No one wanted to sleep on the floor today.
Perona put the stone back on the table, and she found a small bed nearby. After lying on it, the girl didn't think too much. Soon she heard the snoring of her adoptive father. In this noisy situation, the girl gradually closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Moonlight Moria, who was guarding the door today, slept very soundly. No outsiders entered the room from beginning to end, and the people in the room couldn't hear the outside world even with the deafening snoring.
But Perona had a strange dream. She dreamed that she became a seaman. The daughter of a man who went to sea for a long time to supplement her parents' lives, but her father died and only her mother came back alive. From that day on, the daughter felt that her mother had changed.
The mother, who was originally gentle and considerate, became more irritable and irritable, and always said strange words in her mouth. Her behavior logic became more and more abnormal. She didn't like to eat cooked food and liked to eat raw food.
She even found that her mother was hiding in a dark corner and gnawing on a mouse. She asked her if she wanted to eat it together and handed the bloody mouse to the girl. There were human teeth marks on the mouse corpse. It was scary or disgusting.
Perona was awakened by this weird dream. She didn't have the hobby of eating mice alive. If adults like to do this, the girl can only fully respect the other party's opinions.
"Am I dazzled? Why is the stone ornament on the table gone?"
The sleepy girl rubbed her eyes and looked at the empty table. She couldn't help but ask, how could such a big ornament disappear?
Did someone enter this room last night, and even the two pirates didn't notice it
