Welcome, ghost.
Is the game playing homophonic jokes with them?
Did you know that money will be deducted for homophones?
Wei Chen cursed in his heart and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I saw you winking at Xiao Jiang Jiang when we were in the elevator. What did she say to you?"
Poppy looked at the setting sun on the horizon: "Nothing, I just wanted to meet you at the restaurant in the evening."
Wei Chen was startled: "Yes, should we go to the restaurant to take a look first?"
From what the machete woman said, the restaurant should have its own set of independent rules.
Poppy closed the curtains and looked at the time on her watch.
Six o'clock.
There was still half an hour until hotel curfew.
"Let's go."
…
…
Whether it was a coincidence or intentional, the room the hotel arranged for Jiang Jiu and the others was actually the room they had stayed in before.
But now, the mood of the two people has undergone earth-shaking changes.
"Guest, please have a good rest. If you have any questions, please call the front desk." The machete woman seemed to be trying to force out a smile, but under the control of her stiff facial features, it looked a little weird.
Jiang Jiu stopped the woman who wanted to leave.
"I'm hungry. Where is the restaurant?"
The woman rolled her eyes: "The restaurant is on the 7th floor."
Jiang Jiu questioned expressionlessly: "Aren't we not allowed to cross the floor?"
The woman grinned: "Then you should be careful when on other floors and not disturb other guests, otherwise... haha."
A sneer, full of ill intentions.
Jiang Jiu: "Your laughter is so unpleasant, it disturbs me."
The woman's mouth suddenly froze: ...? ? !
Under the cold gaze of the other party, Jiang Jiu calmly picked up the phone by the door and called the front desk directly: "Hey, I want to make a complaint. Your hotel staff is maliciously mocking and harassing guests."
After a moment, Jiang Jiu glanced at the woman who clenched her jaw as if she wanted to tear her into pieces, and added: "It's a bad attitude to admit your mistakes. You should deal with it properly."
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be speechless by her sexy moves.
Just as he was about to say something, he heard the female voice say calmly: "We heard early in the morning that the purpose of Guiying Hotel is to provide guests with supreme pleasure. Now it seems that your hotel is not worthy of its name..."
"Change! Let's change it immediately!"
The person at the front desk was so stimulated that his voice broke.
Jiang Jiu looked at the woman in front of him, whose face turned livid for a moment, and smiled, "Okay, that's troublesome."
The phone was hung up. Just as the machete woman was about to say something, the walkie-talkie she was carrying buzzed. The woman's expression changed and she quickly walked to the side with the walkie-talkie in hand. Jiang Jiu raised his eyebrows and closed the door. !
The machete woman who heard the noise:...! !
This person even shamed her!
The resentment on his face became even worse. In an instant, the skin on half of his face became wrinkled and swollen, as if it had been burned by fire.
…
…
inside the room.
Jiang Jiu just turned around and met Tao Ming's starry eyes.
"Jiang Jiang, you are so awesome!"
Jiang Jiu touched his nose and changed the subject: "Mingming, have you heard about the situation of this hotel before it was developed by you? For example, was there anything strange or a murder that happened?"
With a copy of Mockingbird , it’s hard not to think of The Homicide .
Coupled with the precedent of Yun'an Street, the copy is likely to evolve from some events in the real world.
Tao Ming's delicate brows frowned slightly. She thought about it carefully and then shook her head.
"Yazhi's resort development plan was drawn up before our hotel moved in. My dad only bid for the right to cooperate with the resort developer. If something strange happened, my dad would definitely not participate in the bidding. of."
Tao Ming knew that his old father, a businessman, was more or less superstitious, and his father was even more so. He had to inquire carefully before developing it. Besides, the hotel itself had many taboos. If something evil really happened, Things like losing money are trivial, but getting into trouble with something dirty is not good.
Tao Ming looked at Jiang Jiu with his eyes lowered in thought, and suddenly said, "Jiang Jiang, have you ever heard of a ghost ship?"
Jiang Jiu paused slightly and nodded.
As a horror game designer, she has certainly heard of this classic supernatural rumor.
Ghost ships, also known as ghost ships, are used to describe the phenomenon of ships that mysteriously disappeared or sank to the bottom of the sea many years ago and were later found sailing on the sea.
If you encounter a ghost ship at sea, you must turn the helm and leave quickly, otherwise you will be dragged into the abyss of hell by the ghost on the ship.
Tao Ming's face was serious: "Look, this Guiying Hotel only opens at half July and is open for seven days. We strangers happen to check in during the day, and after 6:30, it is the time for creatures from another world to check in. .”
They accidentally broke into a different world. If they want to survive, they can only abide by the rules of the hotel.
This would also explain why the hotel's curfew time is from 6:30 pm to 6 am the next morning.
It was exactly the time when the sun was setting and the sun was rising.
Jiang Jiu frowned and patted Tao Ming on the shoulder: "That's good."
Being pulled into the game, only by constantly using your brain to think can you have a chance to survive.
Tao Ming's cheeks were slightly red, and now she was shy.
She scratched her head: "But I still don't understand what the relationship between robins and hotels is."
Moreover, the hotel owner seems to be so disgusted with birds that even the accommodation fee is filled with bird carcasses.
"You have to find clues little by little."
The game says that players can leave as long as they survive seven days safely, which shows that just obeying the hotel rules is not enough, there are other dangers waiting for them.
Jiang Jiu checked the time.
Get up and open the door.
"There's still half an hour. Let's go to the restaurant on the seventh floor."
Poppy and the others should also be waiting for them to meet up in the restaurant.
"good."
Fortunately, their luggage and belongings were not changed in the room, so the two of them changed their clothes and went out.
I don't know if it was because the sun was about to set, but the corridor of the hotel was chillier than usual. The two waited at the elevator entrance for a while, and Tao Ming couldn't help shivering because of the cold.
"Jiang Jiang, I always feel that the corridor is spooky."
She carefully observed her surroundings, fearing that something would jump out from somewhere.
Jiangjiu felt it, and it was indeed a physical temperature drop.
In horror movies, a drop in temperature often indicates the presence of ghosts.
She patted Tao Ming's hand: "I'm here."
"Ginger ginger."
Tao Ming was very moved.
"The elevator is here."
Jiang Jiu's words made Tao Ming's heart soar. In horror movies, elevators are also areas where supernatural events occur frequently. The protagonist presses the button for the elevator, but is dragged into the elevator the moment the elevator door opens, or after entering the elevator. He got into trouble and was tortured to death in the elevator.
With a "ding" sound, the elevator door slowly opened.
Tao Ming's heart dropped.
The elevator was empty and clean.
"Jiang Jiang, let's go in."
"Um."
The moment she stepped into the elevator, Jiang Jiu felt a chill coming from behind her, and she immediately turned her head.
Nothing.
"Jiang Jiang?"
"coming."
Pressing the button for the seventh floor, the elevator door slowly closed.
At the last second when the elevator door closed, Jiang Jiu saw a pair of feet appear out of thin air in front of the gap.
Blue-gray skin, those are not the feet of a living person.
His eyes moved, and Tao Ming beside him looked the same, obviously not seeing those feet.
Jiang Jiu narrowed his eyes.
As soon as I came in, I was stared at.
Is it because the debuff on her body that attracts ghosts is working, or... the difficulty of the dungeon has reached this point?
You can leave the hotel after surviving seven days. In a way, it means that the difficulty of surviving here is parallel to the difficulty of solving puzzles. The game does not even require players to solve the puzzles. As long as they survive, they can leave.
It was clear that danger was everywhere, but Jiang Jiu felt that certain factors in his blood were shouting for joy.
She was almost shaking with excitement.
"Jiang Jiang, what's wrong with you?"
The inexplicable blush on her face caught Tao Ming's attention.
"Why is your face so red? Are you sick?"
Jiang Jiu stopped the girl's extended hand and said, "I'm fine. We're here on the 7th floor."
The elevator door opened, and the two of them walked out of the elevator. Taking care of the hotel's rules, they walked very lightly.
The 7th floor is divided into two parts.
Starting from the elevator, there is the restaurant on the left and the room on the right. The restaurant is quite luxuriously decorated with more than a dozen round tables. The far right is the place where you choose food. There is a small door with a curtain in the corner of the food selection area. On the curtain is written "The kitchen is an important place and no one should enter it."
Perhaps it was the curfew time, and except for Jiang Jiu and the two, there was no one else in the restaurant, but strangely, the small window in the back kitchen was still steaming out, and the kitchen was still cooking.
Curfew starts in half an hour, but the kitchen is still running. Who are they cooking for?
Tao Ming felt uneasy and looked back at the entrance of the restaurant.
The corridor outside was dimly lit, but the restaurant was bright, making the door look like a black hole.
Jiang Jiu looked around and finally found a sign with restaurant rules written on the back of the door.
"Why should such an important thing be placed behind the door?" Tao Ming couldn't help but said.
It was as if he deliberately didn't want them to find him.
Jiang Jiu looked at the rules above.
"Lunch starts at 11:30 and ends an hour and a half later, dinner starts at 16:00 and ends two hours later."
In other words, you can have lunch from 11:30 to 1 p.m., and you can have dinner from 4 to 6 p.m.
"No wonder there's no one in the restaurant. It turns out it's past dinner time."
Tao Ming muttered.
Jiang Jiu continued to look down.
"Guests, please cherish your food and take it in quantity. The chef hates people who waste food."
“If you see a dish made from birds in a recipe, be sure to choose it and eat it cleanly! This is the chef’s specialty!”
"Please do not stay in the restaurant during non-dining hours so as not to disturb other guests' dining."
Tao Ming stiffened when he saw the last one.
So as not to disturb the dining of other guests.
Could it be that……
An eerie cool breeze blew across my back.
In the silent air, the sound of the girl swallowing was particularly obvious, and the next second, Tao Ming felt several cold and sinister eyes falling on him.
Someone is watching her.
Still a lot of people.
Without hesitation, Jiang Jiu pushed Tao Ming away, took out the seven-star sword, and slashed with a sharp scream that instantly echoed in the corridor.
"Gulu"
A head fell to the ground and rolled twice.
Tao Ming was shocked, and then he saw clearly what suddenly attacked him.
It looked like a person, but his whole body was black, like a human-shaped charcoal. As she walked, she seemed to be able to smell the smell of the other person's body.
The light strobes twice.
The originally bright and gorgeous restaurant changed in the blink of an eye, the walls were burnt yellow, the whole restaurant was filled with a choking smell, and the originally empty table was now filled with people.
Tao Ming was stunned for two seconds.
Mudd, when did it become overcrowded?
