Chapter 581: Chapter 6 Problems

Dai Lin didn’t see any signs of evil spirits or curses on the TV.

His left eye also didn’t give any warning.

But still, Dai Lin felt a strong sense of crisis.

This was a professional title examination with a less than 3% pass rate, and Dai Lin would not be careless just because his abilities had improved.

At this moment, Dai Lin opened his phone and entered the selfie camera mode.

Anything that could be used as a mirror might show Milan.

The evil spirit image of Milan always appeared in mirrors from time to time, and as time passed, it seemed to get closer to him. And Dai Lin couldn’t predict when the evil spirit incarnated by Milan would appear.

...

Dai Wei looked somewhat at a loss at the hotel room in front of him.

Dai Wei checked into room 909 of the Oroñe Hotel.

His own desire for this wedding was utterly irrelevant. It could be said that all he needed to do at the wedding was to act like a puppet. Just thinking about this made Dai Wei feel very conflicted.

He didn’t dislike Alujia, and if it was a normal blind date, he might consider developing it further, but by comparison, the Faust Family seemed very terrifying to him.

"However, the words that Silas wanted to say at that time..."

This playboy had always been straightforward, speaking his mind directly. From that perspective, his words were quite credible.

It was then that there came a knock on the door.

Who would knock at such a late hour?

Dai Wei walked to the door, opened it, and standing outside was Virgil.

"Virgil, Minister... what brings you here so late?"

Virgil replied, "Time doesn’t mean much to us Paranormal Doctors, as long as you don’t want to sleep, you won’t feel the slightest bit of drowsiness."

"That’s true..."

"Ever since I became a Paranormal Doctor, I’ve rarely slept. Because that way, it’s like living twice the life of an ordinary person."

This claim was quite interesting.

"Minister Virgil," said Dai Wei, inviting Virgil into the room and then closing the door behind him, "you’re not here to discuss the benefits of living without sleep with me, are you?"

Virgil nodded.

"Of course not."

"Then..."

It seemed that Virgil really had no intention of sleeping tonight. He was wearing a very sharply ironed suit, so formally dressed that it was as if he was attending a very grave occasion.

"I wanted to have a chat with you alone first."

Upon hearing this from Virgil, Dai Wei immediately realized...

Virgil chose this time to come over because he finally found an opportunity to talk alone with him.

So, Dai Wei sat down, sitting up straight and proper.

Speaking of which, within the Faust Family, Dai Wei felt relatively closer to Virgil. Mainly because Virgil’s appearance was very close to an Asian heritage. It was said that his mother was Chinese, and he himself spoke Mandarin very fluently. He could rattle off Chinese idioms and poems effortlessly, and apart from his name, it was almost easy to overlook that Virgil was American.

"Actually, I think you and I are quite alike."

Virgil was quite aware that Dai Wei had a sense of wariness and reverence for the people of the Faust Family, so he hoped to bridge the distance between them, aspiring for a more equal status in conversation.

Dai Wei wasn’t surprised by this comment and asked, "Is it because I’m Chinese? I heard your mother is Chinese."

"There are factors like that..."

When Virgil was younger, his dream was to save money to travel to his mother’s homeland, China. His appearance was often mistaken for Japanese or Korean, and each time, he would correct them, insisting that he was half Chinese and not related to Japan or Korea. What puzzled him, though, was that every Chinese person he met in the United States, even knowing he could speak fluent Chinese, still seemed eager to converse with him in English, and would always praise and extol the English language and English-speaking countries in his presence, even to the detriment of their own homeland.

But Dai Wei was different. He could see that even though the boy knew about the Faust family’s dominant position in front of him, he still expressed a wish to retain his Chinese nationality when the family wanted to change it, or at the very least to have dual citizenship.

"But that’s not the main reason. I say we’re alike because... the past me was once just like you."

Dai Wei immediately understood what Virgil meant – they had both become sons-in-law to the Faust family.

"So I want to explain some things to you within my ability, to give you some mental preparation. What Silas said before wasn’t wrong. This is not a simple wedding; the Oroñe Hotel is not an ordinary hotel either."

"Is it... those strange check-in rules, right?"

Knocking must exceed four times...

And...

"Yes, so, what I’m going to explain to you next is..."

Just as Virgil was about to reveal what came next, the ringing of the telephone filled the room.

"Just a second..."

However, Virgil stopped Dai Wei.

"I know what this call is going to be about. Listen, after you answer the phone, the hotel staff will ask you a question. Remember, you must answer ’yes’ and not respond to any other question.

Dai Wei was utterly confused as he approached the phone and picked up the receiver.

"Sir, as a rule of our hotel, we offer a complimentary midnight snack to new guests."

A midnight snack?

"Uh, thank you..."

"The snack will be delivered within ten minutes. Before that, we would like to ask you a question."

Was the hotel going to ask about their service quality?

"Uh, go ahead," he said.

He looked back at Virgil, who was gesturing to him – clearly a reminder of how to respond.

"Humans are the only creatures that laugh. Do you agree, or not? Please be sure to answer truthfully."

What a peculiar question?

Dai Wei instantly recalled the check-in guidelines.

Are humans the only creatures who laugh?

If it weren’t for Virgil’s reminder, he might have used his phone to Google this question.

But considering Virgil’s advice, he responded, "Yes, that’s right."

"Very well, your midnight snack will be delivered shortly. Please wait patiently."

After hanging up the phone, Dai Wei was perplexed.

"They call late at night just to ask this? What on earth is up with this hotel?"

Virgil looked at Dai Wei and said, "You did the right thing just now."

Dai Wei picked up his phone and did a quick search on Baidu.

Then he found that the question seemed to be a matter of debate in the field of biology. At the very least, while there may be other animals that produce a laughing sound, they do not laugh in the same way as humans.

"There’s no need to search for it." However, Virgil replied, "You must remember, in this hotel, whenever anyone asks you this question, you must always answer... yes! Otherwise, the consequences can be very terrible."
