Everyone staying at the inn got up in the morning, feeling groggy from the sedatives they had been administered all night. They were thinking of having a good breakfast to replenish their strength.
However, they discovered that the inn, which had provided excellent service the day before, not only failed to offer breakfast today, but didn't even provide hot water.
Such a drastic change led everyone to complain loudly.
Little did they know that the entire Hong family, who ran the place, along with some of their relatives and close friends, all members of a small family-style cult, had died.
Because last night was their "Harvest Day," the entire family was annihilated, sparing Xu Shu the trouble of having to hunt them down one by one to silence them.
In the meantime, some asked, "Have you seen my wife?" or "Has anyone seen my husband?" while a few young people were looking for their parents or partners, starting to put out missing person notices.
