Trembling At A High Altitude

There are no clerks in the bathing center, only automatic ticket machines.

The walls are the same as those in restaurants and clothing stores, with wall clocks and countdowns on LCD screens.

The cheapest bath ticket only provides hot water, a bath towel and a small piece of soap, and is limited to ten minutes, and only needs one point.

After swiping the card, Li Teng got a coin engraved with strange patterns.

He entered the dressing room with the coin, and after taking off his clothes, Li Teng went to the bathroom inside.

The bathroom is a grid of closed bathrooms.

Put a coin into the coin-operated device in one of the bathrooms, and the door of that bathroom will automatically open.

The bathroom is a shower, only two square meters in size, and a ten-minute countdown is jumping on the screen on the top of the wall.

After ten minutes were up, Li Teng would be forcibly evicted regardless of whether he had finished taking a shower or not.

It is a very troublesome thing for a woman to take a bath. Generally speaking, there is no hour when she can't wash out.

A man like Li Teng is different.

It can be done in five minutes.

Wet your body for half a minute, soap it up for a minute, rub it for a minute, and rinse it off for half a minute.

Another minute to wipe yourself clean with a bath towel.

Li Teng took a total of five minutes to take a shower, and then another five minutes to soap his dirty pajamas and scrub them quickly, and everything was done in ten minutes.

Before the ten-minute countdown ended, Li Teng returned to the dressing room and changed into the clean clothes and shoes he bought from the clothing store just now.

After eating and drinking well, taking a bath and changing into new clothes, Li Teng is now refreshed, and he is completely different from the extremely weak man who slumped on the top of the stone pillar in the morning.

What the hell is this place?

The dressing room provided free plastic bags, and Li Teng put the pajamas he had just washed into the plastic bags before returning to the street.

There was still no one on the street.

It was extremely quiet everywhere, as quiet as a dead city.

However, restaurants, clothing stores, and bathing centers were still operating normally, which made Li Teng feel that this must not be a dead city.

It's a pity that there is no public phone, and there is nowhere to borrow a mobile phone. Otherwise, Li Teng would have to call the police first, tell the police what happened to him, let them locate him, take him home, and find out what organization hijacked him to the top of the stone pillar.

For now, let's find a living person on this street first.

There was a public toilet opposite the bathing center. Li Teng drank a lot of drinks and ate a lot of food, so he needed to solve it.

The toilets are clean and well decorated.

Dryer and toilet paper are all available.

There was also no one inside.

While solving the problem in the cubicle, Li Teng heard footsteps on the street outside.

Is there a living person passing by outside?

After Li Teng finished solving the problem, he rushed out into the street.

But the streets outside were still empty.

If someone passed by just now, it should have gone to the corner ahead.

Li Teng hurried after him.

Sure enough, after turning the corner of the street, Li Teng saw two living people.

Two beautiful welcome ladies were standing at the door of a store with smiles on their faces.

The store door behind them was very large, and it was concealed. There was no sign outside the store door, so they didn't know what was being operated inside.

Li Teng walked over quickly, ready to ask the two welcoming ladies a few words, or ask them to borrow a mobile phone, make a call, or something.

After arriving in front of the two welcoming ladies, Li Teng was stunned.

The two welcoming ladies looked exactly like real people, with ruddy complexions. However, they stood there without moving.

If they were carefully distinguished, Li Teng felt that they were not Miss Welcome.

Although both of them were wearing red clothes, their specific styles were very different.

And it's not the kind of dress that the welcome lady wears, it's more like the fashion worn by pedestrians on the street.

They were just smiling, not the welcome smile of Miss Welcome.

It feels like two passing women are standing here posing for a photo.

"You two beauties, you are not playing the game of wooden figures, are you?"

Li Teng tried to ask the two women.

The two remained motionless, but the weird smile continued to appear on their faces.

Seeing that they didn't respond to what he said, and remained motionless, Li Teng tried to reach out and touch them.

"Is it a wax figure?" Li Teng frowned.

Is this a wax museum?

Li Teng took a few steps back and took a closer look at the exterior wall of the store.

There is no signboard, and there is no such thing as a wax museum.

At this moment, there was another faint sound of footsteps in the store.

"Is anyone there?" Li Teng rushed forward and shouted into the store.

No one responded, but the footsteps stopped.

There are indeed people inside!

Without saying a word, Li Teng stretched out his hand and pushed open the shop door that was half-hidden behind the two girls and rushed into the shop.

After rushing in and seeing everything inside, Li Teng was shocked and froze in place.

Inside is a hall with an area of ​​more than two hundred square meters, where a reception is being held.

In the hall of more than two hundred square meters, there were at least fifty or sixty guests.

Everyone looked at Li Teng by the hall door with a smile on their faces, and some of them were still holding wine glasses.

However, it was very quiet in the lobby.

It was so quiet that Li Teng could only hear his own breathing.

Everyone in the hall remained motionless in a certain posture.

It's like...a photo, or in other words, time suddenly froze at this moment.

"Is there anyone alive?"

After a while, Li Teng calmed down and asked in the hall.

He heard footsteps just now, indicating that there are indeed living people hiding inside.

If he could find that living person, he might be able to solve many of his questions.

No one responded, and everyone continued to look at Li Teng with that weird smile.

Of course, they were not looking at Li Teng, but in the direction of the hall door.

Because when Li Teng walked deep into the hall, their eyes did not follow Li Teng.

This means that all of them are just motionless wax figures.

The details of the wax figure were so realistic that it was almost indistinguishable from a real person standing still, which made it difficult for Li Teng to find the person who made the footsteps just now.

"I was just passing by, I didn't mean any harm."

"I don't even know how I got here."

"I hope someone in the know will come forward and tell me what's going on."

"If you don't come out, I can only resort to some extraordinary measures."

Li Teng yelled a few more times in the hall, touched the wax figure beside him, and after hesitating for a moment, picked up a fork from the dining table and thrust it into the eye of the wax figure beside him.

If there is a living person who really wants to hide in these wax figures, this is the only way to force him to show up.

"Depend on!"

After the fork in Li Teng's hand touched the wax figure, there was a sound of metal hitting. The tines of the fork were instantly bent, and Li Teng's arm holding the fork was numb for a while.

The wax figure, however, was unscathed.

This is a wax figure?

Is there a wax figure made of such a hard material?

"You guys go on with the reception, I'm just passing by, I'll look elsewhere."

Li Teng shook his head, turned around and prepared to leave through the hall door.

It's too weird here, and it also means unknown dangers.

Just now Li Teng had no choice but to make an aggressive move.

Once you make it, beware of being retaliated by these wax figures.

Li Teng no longer thought of these wax figures as dead objects, and he didn't know what they were.

But the feeling should be something he can't afford to mess with.

When Li Teng turned around to leave, he was shocked again.
