Apostle of Cthulhu

Chapter 288 Scavenger

Walking through the busy streets, Si Wei and Nancy came to the main entrance of the Parinxi Hotel.

There was a security guard standing at the door of the hotel, but the security guard looked a little bored and was standing in front of the steps, twiddling his fingers boredly.

As they stepped into the door, a refreshing fragrance entered their noses, making them feel particularly comfortable.

The area of ​​the lobby alone is already a level that most hotels cannot match.

Arriving at the reception desk, Si Wei asked: "Hello, I saw your flyer here, so I want to ask, how many lems does a double room cost?"

"Okay, please wait a moment..." The receptionist scratched his head, pretending to look for documents, and said, "Can you take out your ID? If I find a room, I need to register your information."

This is a normal procedure, so Si Wei and Nancy took out their IDs with the imperial seal and placed them on the reception desk.

The receptionist glanced at the name on the ID with the corner of his eye and noticed the word Si Wei at first glance.

Without any facial changes, the receptionist's expression gently changed from plain to a reception smile, "I'm sorry, we don't have double rooms, but there is one four-person room left. I wonder if you would mind."

Four-person room? What a coincidence?

Si Wei actually didn't want to live in the same room with Bell and Kratos, as that would restrict his actions, so he asked at the beginning if there were double rooms.

At this time, the receptionist told him that there were only four-person rooms? Is this also Jack's strategy?

Si Wei nodded without changing his expression and said, "Okay, how many lems are needed for one night? I think we need to stay here for at least a month."

"One month, right? Please wait a moment," the receptionist did a quick mental calculation on the paper with a signature pen, and then came up with the answer, "It's about 67,000 lems a month, and three meals are guaranteed. Do you have any other questions?"

67,000 lems?

Si Wei still remembered that the penalty he almost paid last time was only 50,000 lems. Now a month's hotel stay will cost nearly 70,000 lems?

As expected, luxury hotels are only for the rich. If it weren't for the reimbursement from the Empire, ordinary people like him would not stay in such a place.

"Okay," Si Wei didn't worry about whether there were any discounts that he hadn't used. Anyway, it wasn't his money. "Sixty-seven thousand lem, right? Wait a minute."

In theory, Si Wei needs to go to the bank to withdraw money first, and then pay, but the Parinxi Hotel has a more convenient service, that is, you hand over the "passbook" to the hotel staff, and leave your identity and password, and they will personally help you "withdraw money" and then return the things to you.

It is definitely easy to have some problems in the meantime, but the Parinxi Hotel has a reputation, so it dares to do such a novel thing.

It is estimated that when the information age comes in the future, with the existence of bank cards and POS machines, this service will no longer exist.

But that has nothing to do with Si Wei.

After getting the room card and key, Si Wei and Nancy went up the stairs and came to their own room.

The Palinxi Hotel has a restaurant, lounge, library, entertainment center, sports field and swimming pool, which can ensure that every guest staying here enjoys absolute quality and comfort.

Along the way, Si Wei also saw the existence of these facilities, and was impressed by the luxury here and the intoxicated life of the rich.

When he came to the room, Si Wei opened the door, and a floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the entire city of Modo appeared in front of Si Wei.

It was noon now, and the sun was not blocked, and it broke into the room directly, bathing the two white beds placed side by side.

The whole room is divided into four parts, two identical bedrooms, and a bathroom and toilet set opposite each other.

The area occupied by a single bedroom is very large, and even with two beds, there is still a lot of space to move.

The carpet under his feet is obviously made of real beast fur. It is very comfortable to step on it, and it feels like stroking a real beast when he touches it with his hands.

There are two floor-to-ceiling hangers next to the main door. Si Wei took off his hat, put it on it, and unbuttoned his woolen coat.

"It looks good," Nancy walked in and put the suitcase on the small sofa in the corner, "Let me check if there are any surveillance facilities or strange gifting ceremonies."

Si Wei did not stop him, but took off his coat, hung it on the floor-standing clothes hanger, left the key on the shoe cabinet in front of the door, and walked out of the room.

Beside Si Wei's room, there are two other rooms, as if there are only three rooms on this floor.

The three rooms are in a triangular shape. Si Wei turned a corner and came to the door of one of the rooms.

Ting, ting, ting.

He bent his index finger, knocked on the door lightly, and waited for the response from inside the door.

There was no response from inside the door, but not long after, someone opened the room.

It was Jack McHaoden.

"I'm here," Si Wei glanced at the time on his watch, "I think we should have a little time, but not much, so you can tell me what the first thing I should do after I arrive in Modo City is."

"You are really impatient," Jack pressed his forehead with the lower palm of his hand, "Are you the type who will die of boredom if you have nothing to do? You are exactly the same as my previous maid."

Si Wei waved his hand, "I just hope that some things that can be solved as soon as possible will not be delayed too long, otherwise it will be very troublesome to deal with them in the future."

With a sigh, Jack said: "There are some very troublesome things in Modo City now."

"Is it related to the wound of the cave?" Si Wei asked, with an attitude of "If it is not related, I don't want to pay attention to it at all."

Jack said, "I don't know if it matters. Anyway, if this matter continues to escalate and is not contained at a critical moment, it will cause great resistance to the subsequent investigation of our Star Foundation."

"So... you are going to throw this matter to me?" Si Wei raised his eyebrows, "If possible, I don't want to be used as a scavenger by you."

"Think about what you just said," Jack was very smart and used Si Wei's words to fight back against him, "If this matter affects you in the future, it will be very troublesome to deal with. And I think you have a helper, but you haven't found it yet."

Si Wei was puzzled, "Helper? Who?"

"Joe Rupert," Jack read out the man's name, "He is also in Modo City and lives across from me."
