Chapter 254: The Sheraton Hotel is about to undergo a major reshuffling!

"I am a failure, hardly paying attention to whether the sun is shining brightly or not, because I don't have the time."
"My parents cannot provide me with support and I do not have a high education. I am alone, searching for my future in the city."
"I have applied for many jobs, but have not been able to be hired. It might be because no one likes someone who is not good at speaking, does not enjoy communication, and has not demonstrated enough ability."

"I went three whole days with only two loaves of bread. Hunger kept me awake at night. Luckily, I had paid rent for a month in advance, so I could continue living in that dark basement and avoid facing the unusually cold winter winds outside."
“终于，我找到了一份工作，在医院守夜，为停尸房守夜。
“医院的夜晚比我想象得还要冷，走廊的壁灯没有点亮，到处都很昏暗，只能靠房间内渗透出去的那一点点光芒帮我看见脚下。
"The smell there is very unpleasant, with corpses occasionally being stuffed into body bags and brought to us to help move them into the morgue."
"It's not a great job, but at least it lets me afford bread. I can also use the free time at night to study, as not many people are willing to come to the morgue unless there are bodies to be brought in or incinerated. Of course, I don't have enough money to buy books right now, and I can't see any hope of saving up."
"I have to thank my former colleague, if it wasn't for their sudden departure, I might not have been able to obtain this job."
"I dream of being able to rotate responsibilities during the day, but now I always sleep when the sun comes out and wake up when night falls, making my body feel a little weak and my head occasionally throbbing."
One day, the moving company delivered a new body.
I heard from others that it was my former colleague who suddenly resigned.
"I was a bit curious about him, so after everyone left, I pulled out the cabinet and quietly opened the body bag."
"He was an old man, with a face that was both pale and blue, covered with wrinkles that looked very terrifying in the extremely dim lighting."
"He doesn't have much hair, most of it has turned white. All his clothes were taken off, not even a piece of fabric left on him."

"I saw a strange mark on his chest, it was dark greenish-black, but I can't describe the exact shape, the lighting was too dim at that time."
I reached out and touched that mark, nothing special.
I looked at this former colleague and wondered if I would end up like him when I grow old if I continue on this path.
I told him that I will accompany him to the crematorium tomorrow and personally take his ashes to the nearest free public cemetery, so that those responsible for such matters won't find it troublesome to just throw them in a random river or wasteland.
"This will sacrifice my morning sleep, but it's okay, it's almost Sunday, I can make up for it."
" After saying that, I fixed the body bag and put it back into the cabinet.
The lights in the room seemed to dim even more...
"After that day, every time I go to sleep, I always dream of a thick fog. Good Book Reading app"
"I have a premonition that something will happen soon. I have a feeling that sooner or later, something indescribable will come to find me, although no one is willing to believe me. They think that working in that environment, I have become mentally unstable and need to see a doctor..."
A male customer sitting at the bar looks towards the speaker who suddenly stops and says, "
And then?"
This male customer is in his thirties, wearing a brown tweed jacket and light yellow trousers. His hair is flat and he has a crude dark-colored round hat nearby.
He looks ordinary, like most people in the tavern. He has black hair, light blue eyes, and is neither handsome nor ugly, lacking obvious distinctive features.
The narrator in his eyes is a young person of eighteen or nineteen years old, tall and slender, with black short hair and light blue eyes, but with deep facial features that can catch people's attention.
The young man looked at the empty glass in front of him, sighed, and said:
"And then?

"And then I quit my job and returned to the countryside, coming here to chat with you.
As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face, with a hint of smugness.
The male customer was taken aback: Good Book Reading app?
"Were you just bragging about the things you mentioned earlier?"
"Haha." Laughter erupted around the bar counter.
The laughter paused briefly, and a thin middle-aged man looked at the slightly embarrassed guest and said:
"Foreigner, how could you believe Lumian's stories? He tells a different story every day. Yesterday, he was a poor guy whose fiancée broke off the engagement because of his poverty, and today he has become a corpse watcher!"
"Yes, they speak nonsense when they say they've been on the eastern side of the Selenzo River for thirty years, and then claim they've been on the right side for another thirty!" another regular customer at the tavern chimed in.
They were all farmers from the large village of Cordu, wearing short jackets in black, gray, or brown.
The black-haired young man named Luvian slowly stood up, supporting himself on the bar counter, and smiled as he said:
"You know, this is not a story I made up, it's all written by my sister. She loves writing stories, she's even a columnist for the 'Novel Weekly'."
After finishing speaking, he turned his body to the side and extended his hand to the incoming guest, smiling brightly.
"Looks like she wrote really well. Good book reading app.
Sorry for the misunderstanding."
The man in the brown coarse woolen jacket, with an ordinary appearance, did not get angry and stood up, smiling in response.
Very interesting story.
What should I call you?"
"Isn't it common sense to introduce yourself before asking someone else?" Lumian laughed.
The guest from the other town nodded: "
My name is Lain.Kos.
These two are my companions, Valente and Lya."
The sentence after refers to the man and woman sitting next to him.
A man in his late twenties with yellow hair dyed with a touch of powder. His eyes, while not large, have a color slightly deeper than turquoise. He is wearing a white vest, a blue woolen coat, and black trousers. It is evident that he put in some effort in grooming before going out.
His expression was rather cold and he didn't pay much attention to the surrounding farmers and herdsmen.
The woman appeared to be younger than the two men, with light gray long hair tied up in a complex bun and wearing a white veil as a makeshift hat.
Her eyes were the same color as her hair, and she looked at Lucian with an unabashed smile, finding the recent events amusing.
Under the gas lamp in the tavern, a woman named Lya revealed her pretty nose and beautifully curved lips, which would definitely make her a beauty in a rural village like Cordu.
She was wearing a white pleat-free cashmere dress, paired with an off-white jacket and a pair of Marciel boots. There were also two silver bells tied to her veil and boots respectively, making a jingling sound as she entered the tavern. It was very eye-catching, attracting many male gazes that were transfixed.
In their eyes, this is the fashionable dressing that only big cities like Biegor and the capital Trier have.
Lumian nodded to the three outsiders:
"My name is Lumian Li, you can just call me Lumian."
"Li?" Lya blurted out. Good Book Reading app.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my surname?" Lumian curiously asked.
Liane. Koss helped Lya explain.
"Your surname is terrifying, I almost couldn't control my voice just now."
Seeing the confused expressions of the surrounding farmers and herdsmen, he further explained:
"Anyone who has had contact with sailors or merchants at sea knows that there is a saying that circulates across the five seas:
'Rather face pirate admirals or even kings than encounter someone named Frank Lee.'
"The person's last name is also Li."
"Is he very scary?" Lumian asked.
Laine shook his head and replied, "
I'm not sure, but if there is such a legend, it must be remarkable."
He ended the conversation and turned to Lucien, saying, "
Thank you for your story, it deserves a drink. What would you like?"
"A glass of 'Green Fairy'," Lucien replied unceremoniously, taking his seat again.
Ryan Coe frowned slightly and said, "Good Book Reading app."
" 'Green Fairy'... absinthe?"
"I feel obliged to remind you that absinthe is harmful to the human body and can lead to mental derangement, causing hallucinations."
“我没想到特里尔的流行风向已经传播到了这里。”旁边的莉雅含笑补了一句。
Lumian let out a small "Oh" and said, "
So people from Trier also enjoy drinking 'Green Fairy'...
“对我们而言，生活已经足够辛苦了，没必要在乎多那么一点伤害，这种酒能让我们的精神获得更大的放松。”
"Okay." Ryan sat back in his seat and looked at the bartender. "A 'Green Fairy' and another 'Spicy Heart' for me."
"Spicy Heart" is a famous fruit-based liquor.
"Why don't you also give me a 'Green Fairy'? I was the one who told you the truth just now, and I can tell you all the details about this kid!" The first man, a skinny middle-aged man who had exposed Lucien's daily storytelling, shouted in dissatisfaction. "Outsider, I can tell that you still have doubts about the truth of that story!"
"Pierre, you would do anything just to get a free drink!" Lumian responded loudly.
Before Ryan could make a decision, Lucien added: good book reading app.
"Why can't it be me who tells it, then I can have an extra glass of 'Absinthe'?"
"Because they don't know whether to believe what you said or not," Pierre, a middle-aged man, said with a smug smile. "Your sister's favorite story to tell the children is 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf', and it teaches that those who constantly lie will inevitably lose their credibility."
"Okay." Lumian shrugged and watched as the bartender slid a glass of pale green liquor in front of him.
Lain looked at him and asked,
"Is it okay?"
"No problem, as long as your wallet is enough to cover the cost of these drinks." Lumian didn't care at all.
"Then another glass of 'Green Fairy'." Ryan nodded.
Pierre's face was full of smiles:
"Generous outsider, this kid is the biggest prankster in the village, you must stay away from him."
"Five years ago, he was brought back to the village by his sister Auror, and he has never left since. Think about it, before that, he was only thirteen, how could he work as a corpse watcher in the hospital? Hmm, the closest hospital to us is Dalieri, which is a whole afternoon's walk away."
"Bring it back to the village?" Lya asked keenly.
She tilted her head slightly, causing jingling sounds.
Pierre nodded.

"Then, he went by the last name 'Li' with Aurele, even the name 'Lumian' was given by Aurele."
"I have forgotten what it was originally called." Lumian took a sip of wormwood liquor and said with a smile.
It seems that he has no shame or embarrassment about his past being exposed. Some people may die, but they don't completely die...
After endless unconsciousness, Shiyu suddenly sat up in bed. To read the content, please download the Love Reading Novel app for ad-free and free access to the content. The website no longer updates content, as the Love Reading Novel app has updated content.
He took a deep breath of fresh air, feeling his chest shaking.
Confused and puzzled, various emotions welled up in his heart.
Where am I?
Then, Shi Yu instinctively looked around, and became even more bewildered.
A single-person dorm room?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in a hospital room now.
And his own body... how could there be no injuries at all?
With doubts in his mind, Shi Yu glanced quickly around the room, and his gaze finally settled on the mirror on the bedside table.
The mirror reflected his current appearance, which was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked quite handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him! Download the LoveReading app for novels with ad-free and free content.
The previous self was a handsome and extraordinary young man in his twenties, who had been working for some time.
And now, this appearance is nothing more than that of a high school student...
This change made Shi Yu stare in astonishment for a long time.
Don't tell him that the surgery was very successful...
The body and appearance have changed, this is not a question of surgery or non-surgery, but magic.
He has completely turned into another person!
Could it be...that I have traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed obviously inauspiciously at the head of the bed, Shi Yu also found three books nearby.
When Shi Yu picked it up and took a look, the title of the book instantly made him speechless.
"A Must-Have Handbook for Novice Animal Breeders"
"Postnatal Care for Pet Animals"
"A Guidebook for Evaluating Beast-Eared Girls of Different Races"
Shi Yu: ???
The first two book titles are somewhat normal, what's the matter with the last one?
"Ahem."
Shi Yu's gaze became serious as he reached out his hand, but his arm quickly stiffened.
Just as he was about to open the third book and see what it was, his brain suddenly stabbed in pain, and a flood of memories surged forward.
Bingyuan City.
