The thing in the pot was like some kind of sweet syrup. I don't know what had been cooked together to create such a strange taste.
I didn't feel it when I was on it just now, but now I realized that it smelled like meat, and it was the kind of fat meat with white flowers and oil.
She couldn't see what was going on in the pot, these were just the feelings brought to her by her sense of smell.
Suddenly, the innkeeper in the kitchen turned sideways and looked towards the stairs.
Jiang Qi instantly hid in the narrow dark space under the stairs.
She did not go up the stairs. If she had instinctively run back and tried to reach the steps where the firelight could not reach, she would have been caught.
Unless the innkeeper is blind, he will not be able to see the figure running up the steps.
The copy is digging holes for players.
When people are nervous, their brains will freeze, and then their bodies will react instinctively. It was over just now. If they were discovered by the hotel owner, there would probably be no good ending. They might die on the stairs.
At this time, Jiang Qi was invisible in the kitchen.
The glass window in front reflected the twisted and turned face of the hotel owner. His shadow stretched and deformed under the firelight, as if it melted into a puddle of liquid in an instant.
When he walked out of the kitchen, the shadow on the ground returned to its original state.
Jiang Qi squatted at the bottom of the stairs, listening to the footsteps of the hotel owner approaching, looking at the elongated shadow on the wall, and felt a cold breath rising from his back.
There are too few sundries here, and the innkeeper can see her in the corner if he takes two steps forward.
At first glance, this innkeeper is not a normal person.
Jiang Qi has already begun to think about chasing the battle route. There is no place to run up the mountain, and it is not safe to go out into the town. It depends on the actual situation where he can run.
This type of game is full of choices, and if you make the wrong move, you may be doomed.
The innkeeper took another step forward. He was so frustrated that he probably ran out now. In this case, if he took another step, it would not be a problem that he could not find, but a problem that the people inside were blocked and unable to escape. .
Jiang Qi controlled his breathing, maintained a defensive posture at all times, and remained motionless, waiting for the next move of the hotel owner outside.
He stood at the junction of light and dark for a while, then turned and walked upstairs.
Thumb, thump, thump,
The sound of footsteps was just above Jiang Qi's head. The innkeeper went upstairs. He didn't take away the kerosene lamp. The kitchen was shrouded in dim light, and the pot just stood there quietly.
Now is indeed a good opportunity to go check it out, but according to Jiang Qi's experience, as soon as he enters the kitchen, he may have a face-to-face fight with the hotel owner. Thinking about that scene is exciting.
The reason why this type of game has a high mortality rate, including high combat power, is because there are plot kills. No matter how high the combat power is, you will die if you make a wrong step in the key step. If you have high combat power, you will die later.
The focus of this part of the game should be to find clues and return to the room without the hotel owner noticing.
The information in the kitchen has actually been collected. You don't need to be curious to see what's in the pot, you know it's not good.
The problem now was how to get back to the room. The hotel owner went up and squatted on who knows which floor of the stairs. He might even be squatting in her room. The latter was the last thing Jiang Qi wanted to see.
The result would be the same whether she locked the door or not. The innkeeper had a spare key. If he were not human, he wouldn't even need the key.
Jiang Qi held her breath and slowly walked out of the space under the stairs. She carefully avoided the visible position on the stairs. She leaned her back against the wall and looked up the stairs cautiously. She did not see the hotel owner within her sight, but she turned the corner. Where you can't see...no one knows what's going on.
Jiang Qi walked up a few more steps, and heard slight footsteps on the corner of the second and third floors. She also found a pool of liquid on the stairs, which was yellow and translucent, with that weird fragrance that made people feel psychologically disturbed. I felt sick and wanted to take a bite uncontrollably.
It was so quiet above that even the wind stopped. The hotel owner didn't know what to do in the corridor. Suddenly, Jiang Qi's pupils paused and he made a decisive decision and turned around and ran down the stairs. He didn't need to teleport because he couldn't use it at all. The player's skills here seemed like It was disabled, and she just found out about it.
She hadn't seen it clearly before, and it took her a while to realize that the innkeeper's head was turned at an angle far beyond what a normal person could do. He was standing in the corridor, with his back to the stairs, but his head was looking this way, as if Know someone is following you.
Jiang Qi ran all the way to the hotel lobby. The hotel door was closed several times but could not be opened. Footsteps sounded again on the stairs. In the kitchen, the firelight shook, and a rotten hand slowly came out of the pot that exuded a sweet smell. Reach out.
Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer behind him, Jiang Qi finally opened the jammed door lock and ran out of the hotel.
We already know what's going on in this plot. Players will die when they enter the kitchen. They will be tricked by the innkeeper when they go up the stairs. It's easy to imagine that if they go out and wander around the town in the middle of the night, this thing doesn't want to give the players a way to survive.
He didn't want her to go back to the room, so she insisted on going back.
Jiang Qi walked around to the back of the hotel, looked up at the balcony of the back room, and started to climb up. There were pipes and window sills on the outer wall. It was not difficult to climb up. If she had the physical strength before, she would definitely not be able to climb up here.
When passing by the second floor, Jiang Qi glanced inside. The environment was too dark and she couldn't see anything. She just felt that the whole building was so silent that the only sound was her breathing.
Climbing up to the third floor and climbing over the railing, room 305 was empty, the quilts were neatly arranged, and there was no trace of any furniture or furnishings being moved.
It seems that she guessed correctly. The players are all in different spaces, experiencing the same plot. This may be just a dream, so the skills cannot be used.
This dream is the first level of the dungeon. If you can't pass it, you will die.
Just as I was thinking about it, the door handle was being twisted wildly, and a dark figure with an unclear face was looking inside from the balcony.
Click, click, click...
The clicking sound in the door became more intense, it was about to come in.
Jiang Qi was thinking about what else he could use. It seemed that he only had a hammer. If it didn't work, he would use the hammer to fight it hard.
The one on the balcony looks weaker.
The door was pushed open a crack, and five rotten fingers stretched out, as if they had just been torn apart from an adhesion. Just looking at it made me want to chop it off.
The hatred value cannot be cleared, the hatred value cannot be cleared, Jiang Qi reminded himself silently in his heart.
This place can only be climbed to the end room, not the next door, and there is no starting point.
The moment Jiang Qi ran back to the balcony, the dark shadow lying there disappeared, but the crying was still there. It sounded like the voice of an NPC driver. Then, when the street lights outside came on, she discovered that there was another shadow on the ground.
boom!
The door was knocked open, and the face whose skin had been burned off leaving only dark red muscles came closer. It rushed towards the balcony with an excited smile on its face.
