Chapter 1436: Chapter 1431 Regulations Ready to Implement

Watching the standard professional smile of the front desk lady, Tang Ye recalled the cold demeanor of other hotel front desk staffs. This contrast made him feel both familiar and foreign; he had not interacted much with hotels, and even before the Apocalypse, his visits to hotels were few and far between. He always adhered to the principle of not indulging in high expenditure when money was tight.

Indeed, hotels were quite different from ordinary inns.

Hearing Tang Ye’s words, the front desk lady’s smile brightened a bit and said, "Alright, sir, please wait a moment."

Tang Ye nodded and waited patiently. Soon, the front desk lady received a room card from her colleague, handed it over to Tang Ye, and said, "Sir, the charge for a deluxe single room is one hundred sixty per night, please pay here."

As soon as she finished speaking, she added, "Oh, by the way, long-term lodging for one month is only two thousand eight hundred, sir, are you interested?"

Tang Ye thought for a moment and pulled out all the cash from his pocket. Naturally, he had chosen the largest denomination when taking out the money, but he had not counted how many notes it was. However, such a thick stack would have been more than enough for him even before the Apocalypse.

"I only have this much. Count it and see if it’s enough for a month."

His action stunned many bystanders, not because they were shocked by the wealth Tang Ye displayed, but because pulling out such a stack of cash to pay felt strangely out of place in these times.

Tang Ye was aware of digital payments like WeChat Pay and Zhifubao, but those apps had failed with the onset of the Apocalypse, and although new apps replaced them in the later stage of the Apocalypse, the currency used was no longer Dream Entering Yuan, but Yajin.

The front desk lady, too, was taken aback by this scene, but she quickly recovered, counted the cash handed over by Tang Ye, saw it was enough, and returned the excess money to Tang Ye.

"Sir, it’s enough. Would you like to proceed now?"

"Yes," Tang Ye nodded, and soon heard the front desk lady say, "Sir, your room will expire on the ninth of next month, you can check in now. Your room is number seven on the third floor, and we offer a dedicated meal delivery service. If needed, please use the room telephone to dial four ones during reasonable hours."

"Okay."

Tang Ye nodded again and was about to head toward the elevator, but soon, he halted. Wait, something the front desk lady said was a bit eerie, wasn’t it?

"Reasonable hours? What times are unreasonable, and could something happen then?"

He repeated to himself, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a nearby wall panel, instantly drawing all his attention.

"Is this the notice that guy mentioned? You didn’t tell me it was only in the inn, did you?"

He pushed through the crowd to get closer to the panel, and all its contents came into view.

[This area is under the jurisdiction of Xi River city Longyuhua Management Area, and the following rules apply throughout the Longyuhua Management Area.]

[Rules are as follows:]

[One: This area prohibits wandering after 21:10. Please turn off lights and go to bed before this time.]

[Three: Do not cover your head with pillows and blankets during the prohibited hours.]

[Four: The hotel walls do not have good soundproofing; if you hear any strange noises, do not take them seriously, ignore them, and do not attempt to discern the content of the sounds.]

[Five: After the curfew, close your eyes promptly; regardless of whether you can fall asleep, do not open your eyes to look around.]

[Six: After the curfew, if you have an urgent need to use the bathroom, find the toilet with your eyes closed; toilets in this hotel are located on the left side as you enter each room. Besides this, do not trust nor enter any unrecognized doors—remember! Always keep your eyes closed when searching, do not attempt to inspect the room’s layout. If you lack these skills, resolve it on the spot; there will be hotel staff responsible for dealing with it during the day.]

[Seven: If you see vague figures in your room during non-curfew hours, immediately leave and inform a member of the hotel staff.]

[Eight: There are no public restrooms within Xi River city, please do not enter any public restrooms, and if you see people entering or exiting, do not remind or inform others, act as if you have not seen anything—it’s the best way to handle it.]

[Nine: There are no Western religious churches inside China; if you see one, do not enter. If you see people entering or exiting, handle it as according to rule eight.]

[Ten: Everyone must restrain themselves; this is for your good and the good of others. Do not litter anywhere.]

[Eleven: When unable to ascertain your surroundings, do not casually turn to look behind.]

[Twelve: After the curfew, try to find a suitable place to sleep.]

[If you can’t find a suitable place to sleep before the curfew, choose to spend the night in a cemetery—note, do not easily choose an uncertain cemetery, it’s recommended to choose the Martyrs’ Cemetery for better protection of your life.]

[Thirteen: Note, crosses, garlic, so-called holy water, images of God, Buddha amulets, omamori, black dog blood, "virgin blood", Taoist talismans, consecrated statues, etc., have no real exorcism effects, please do not be superstitious.]

[Fourteen: Do not trust any unfamiliar places; if you feel you often see but have never been to some place, be more cautious, do not be curious! Do not be curious, please immediately leave!]

[Fifteen: If you encounter bizarre creatures with strong malevolence toward you, stay rational, do not handle it on your own, call the police immediately, as it’s possible "it" could be a normal human being.]

[Sixteen: If you see someone half-buried in the ground, do not leave! Do not leave! Please help immediately!]

[Seventeen: Obey traffic rules; it benefits both you and others.]

[Eighteen: Do not participate in any group activities! Including charities!]

[Nineteen: This is a normal world!!!]

[Twenty: This is the last rule, and the most important one, wherever you are, if you encounter school violence, as a third party, please immediately kill the perpetrator!]

"Church?" Tang Ye meticulously read through these operational rules, and each one clearly indicated that this world was far from normal. Yet bizarrely, rule nineteen still proclaimed this was a normal world? Followed by three exclamation marks? Was there a need for such emphasis?

But on second thoughts, rule nine about the church—he had encountered it, and some old men had run inside. Earlier, he had thought nothing of it, but now thinking back, that church exuded strangeness everywhere, and then those nuns shaking their heads at him, Tang Ye was starting to wonder whether those old men and the nuns in that church were even human.
