Chapter 0068 Regent Hotel
I slept on the hotel sofa until the afternoon, went downstairs, took a taxi, and came to the place where I had agreed to meet the fat guy.
It was a small Sichuan restaurant in the old town in the north of the city. It was not yet lunchtime and there were not many people in front of the restaurant.
As soon as I walked to the door, I heard a fierce quarrel coming .
I took a look inside and saw a young couple standing in the shop. The man was wearing a half-worn sportswear, and he was plump with his head drooping. He was exactly the fat anchor I was waiting for.
The woman crossed her arms and said angrily, "All you do is play your live broadcast all day long. Look at yourself, and then look at others!"
"Can live streaming be used to make a living? I don't have a house or a car, and now I have to live in fear with you. I've had enough!"
The fat otaku was scolded so badly that he couldn't even raise his head.
The woman waved her hand and said, "Lin Yang, we are done! From now on, you can enjoy your live streaming addiction, and I will walk my own path!"
Having said that, he stomped his feet and stormed out the door angrily. When he saw me standing at the door, he glared at me and walked away without looking back.
Only then did I know that this fat guy's real name was "Lin Yang". Seeing him standing there in a daze with tears in the corners of his eyes, I stepped forward, patted his shoulder and said, "Is that your girlfriend?"
Lin Yang was startled, "You...are the rich guy?"
After hearing me say yes, Lin Yang forced a smile, "I didn't expect you to be so young, brother Tuhao!"
We found a seat and sat down. Lin Yang said he would treat us. He seemed to be a regular customer here and ordered some of the restaurant's signature dishes very familiarly.
"Well, we have known each other since we were young. We went to elementary school, middle school, and college together." Lin Yang took a sip of beer and said with a wry smile, "But you can see that we are done."
I refilled his glass of wine and said, "It's just a quarrel. It will be fine after you calm down."
Lin Yang drank the wine in one gulp and said that he had never been very timid since he was a child, but he liked to listen to all kinds of strange stories and was fascinated by them.
After graduating from university, he did not look for a job, but started live streaming on the internet, specializing in adventure and strange stories.
However, this type of anchor has always been a niche, and he can't find any new topics, so there are always few followers, and the money he earns from live streaming is not even enough to eat.
His girlfriend kept urging him to change his career, but he persisted.
Later, he overheard a taxi driver mention the luxury houses at the foot of Xiaohe Mountain. He thought the subject was quite fresh and strange, and since it involved luxury houses, it would definitely attract attention.
But how to get in became a problem.
It was not known whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, but one evening, when he was passing by the door of a hotel, something suddenly fell from above his head.
He was shocked and started cursing the people upstairs for being uncultured.
Later, when he took a closer look, he found that what was thrown next to him was actually a very valuable handbag.
He picked up the bag and wanted to open it and then take it to the hotel front desk, but he didn't expect that in addition to a few incomprehensible drawings, there was also an invitation.
Lin Yang took a few glances and became excited.
The address of the invitation was actually the mansion at the foot of Owa Mountain, inviting people to attend the "One Hundred Demons Night Banquet".
So he simply ran away with his bag, and later used the invitation to sneak into the banquet.
When I heard this, I thought to myself, it turns out this guy is just like me, using someone else's identity.
"Brother Tuhao, do you know whose invitation I picked up belongs to?" Lin Yang suddenly lowered his voice.
My heart moved, "Could it be the one who died last night?"
Lin Yang was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Brother Tuhao, your guess is too accurate! The invitation I picked up was from the designer named Guan!"
He took a big sip of wine, his face pale as he said, "This guy is dead, I'm afraid I'll be the next one. Brother Tuhao, I have to thank you for accompanying me for a drink and a meal."
I comforted him a few words and we ate while chatting.
After finishing all the dishes on the table, Lin Yang's face turned red and he was already drunk.
I asked him what his plans were for the evening, and Lin Yang said with a thick tongue that he had originally planned to go to the movies with his girlfriend, but now there was no need to watch a movie, so he decided to just do a live broadcast all night.
If something really happens, there are so many fans watching, which is better than dying silently.
When I heard this, I said it was exciting and I thought I might as well join in and have some fun.
At first Lin Yang disagreed, saying that this was too dangerous and there was no need to get involved. Later, when he saw that I was determined, he agreed.
After all, he had a companion, so he felt braver.
When it got dark, we arrived at the door of a rather shabby hotel.
This is the old city area, which will be demolished soon. Many residents have already moved out, so there are not many houses with lights on around here.
I took a look at the hotel sign, which was glowing red. It was called "Regent Hotel". It was four stories high and the building was very old.
"Brother Tuhao, this environment is not very good. Do you think it is suitable?" Lin Yang felt a little embarrassed.
He does live broadcasts of strange news, and he often finds some scary-looking environments as the locations for the live broadcasts. And most importantly, the Regent Hotel is cheap.
I smiled and said that this was good and I liked this atmosphere.
When we walked in, a fat woman in her fifties was sitting in front of the old counter. She rolled her eyes and asked, "Let's get a room. Forty for one night."
Forty yuan is indeed cheap, but it’s about the same, after all, given the environment here.
If Wang Ruoyu were to come to this place, let alone forty, even if she was given forty thousand, she would probably just turn around and leave.
Lin Yang rushed to pay, and I didn't argue with him, "Open one."
"One room?" the fat woman asked strangely.
"one."
"You two men are sharing a room?"
"What? You won't open the door for two men?" Lin Yang retorted angrily.
The fat woman muttered, took the money, and slapped a door card on the table, "Number 304!"
Of course, there was no elevator in this place, so we went up the stairs and heard the woman shouting from below: "Don't walk around or shout at night, disturbing other guests' rest!"
We responded randomly and walked all the way to the third floor. We saw that the lights in the corridor were dim and it was quiet all around.
"Is there anyone living here? Why are you disturbing me?" Lin Yang muttered, "304..."
We found the room and swiped our card to go in.
The room was quite small, about a dozen square meters, with a small bed, a wooden table and a few chairs, all squeezed together.
There are several outdated posters on the yellowed walls.
There was only one old-fashioned incandescent lamp in the whole room, which made a hissing sound from time to time and flickered on and off.
After seeing the room, I felt that forty was a bit too much.
The first thing Lin Yang did when he entered the door was to set up his live broadcast equipment and adjust the angle.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the live broadcast officially began.
Soon, a lot of fans gathered in the live broadcast room.
