Chapter 258 Crimson Mirror

【Hahahahahaha Xiao Baiwan is really unlucky. 】

[It was so funny. I finally found some clues and moved to a new room, but I was caught. ]

[I kind of understand why this dungeon requires a team. If you don't have teammates, it's really hard to get rid of your companions without external help.]

[So what should Xiao Baiwan do now? He can't really stay in this bedroom until dawn, right? ]

[Hahahahahaha, it's not impossible. I see a few players have given up struggling and started taking a shower. I guess they want to wait until their companions fall asleep before looking for another opportunity.]

[I guess Xiao Baiwan will be quiet for a while and wait until his wife falls asleep before running away.]

Just as predicted by the comment.

Xu Zhiyan did not resist and followed Slice back to the room obediently. He also saw his adopted daughter Xu Xiaohua who was eating with relish.

The little girl with a ponytail and a bib around her neck, holding a lobster in her left hand and a steak in her right hand, was mumbling something in her mouth.

"Dad, Dad! Do you want to have a bite of sir? Good times!"

Seeing Xu Zhiyan was silent, it quickly swallowed what was in its mouth, called "Dad" sweetly, and invited everyone to eat together.

"Dad had too little sent over, the rest was given by Mom."

Listening to Xu Xiaohua's completely familiar words, Xu Zhiyan's mouth twitched. It seemed that this kid had been completely captured by Slice, but considering his own personality, he still smiled gently.

"You eat, Daddy is not hungry."

Soon, the only sound in the room was Xu Xiaohua's heartless eating. Slice even walked over and turned on the TV, tuning out a cartoon for his adopted daughter to watch.

After doing all this, it came to Xu Zhiyan and gently rested its chin on the young man's shoulder.

"Honey, it's late, should we go to bed first?"

The scorching voice fell into Xu Zhiyan's ears, and he couldn't help but shiver all over. He nodded quickly: "Well, I'm tired today, I need to have a good rest."

So what excuse can I use to leave...

I declined the offer to take a bath together.

He firmly adheres to the women-first approach.

After glancing at the bathroom and confirming that the slices would not come out for a while, Xu Zhiyan sat on the sofa and asked in a low voice over the noisy sounds of the cartoons and the sound of water in the bathroom.

"When someone came to deliver the food just now, did anything happen? For example, did anything strange happen between mom and the delivery uncle?"

Xu Xiaohua frowned and thought about it.

"have."

It imitated Xu Zhiyan and lowered its voice, describing everything it had just seen.

"At the beginning, when the delivery uncle knocked on the door, my mother didn't open the door, so the uncle came in. It was very rude!" it said seriously.

"But considering that the delivery uncle had a lot of delicious food in his hands, I forgave him! But later my mother asked me to stay in the room and not go out. I don't know what happened afterwards. Oh, by the way! Mom can make food appear, but she won't let me tell you."

Xu Xiaohua swallowed and glanced at the bathroom secretly.

"My mother said that if I said anything wrong, she would twist my head off. Fortunately, I won't die even if I don't have a head."

Although this cheap daughter is a bit of a scumbag, she still remembers the relationship between them. She immediately sold out all the secrets about her father. She is the type who will sell out whoever she catches.

Xu Zhiyan felt a little more confident.

"Okay, when your mother comes out later, you can tell her you're not full and want to keep eating. Got it?"

It's unlikely to expect Xu Xiaohua to cooperate.

You can only arrange some other tasks as much as possible.

"No problem Dad!"

Xu Xiaohua held up her greasy little paws with a determined look on her face; she wasn’t full anyway!

The sound of water stopped.

The bathroom door opened and a beautiful woman in a bathrobe walked out.

Without Xu Zhiyan's signal, Xu Xiaohua finished all the food on the table and made smacking sounds as if she wanted to eat more.

Seeing Slice stunned for a moment, Xu Zhiyan smiled helplessly.

"Children are growing and eat more."

Now it's Slice's turn to be confused.

"But she has already eaten a lot..."

Would anyone really eat that much?

Xu Zhiyan faced the suspicious gaze and reached out to touch the phone, but before he started to press the keys, a slender hand with red nail polish pressed on the back of his hand.

"Honey, I'll do the fighting, you go take a shower first."

Xu Zhiyan wanted to say something else.

"It's okay. It doesn't matter who fights us..."

However, as the force on the back of his hand grew stronger, he looked up at Slice's eyes full of paranoid love and realized what the other party meant by 'it's okay to get the person'.

This gorgeous slice just wants him.

It doesn't matter whether you are alive or dead.

This kind of paranoia is chilling...

Xu Zhiyan took a deep breath and hung up the phone.

If other players attacking their companions will turn them into more powerful monsters, then logically speaking, the settings of his companions will most likely be the same.

It is impossible to judge now whether the slices have become so contradictory and complicated because of the influence of system settings or because there is something wrong with the blood itself.

Xu Xiaohua ended up eating food of questionable origin.

Under the repeated urging of Slice, Xu Zhiyan reluctantly went into the bathroom. He was sure that he couldn't make the call in person, so he could only place his hopes on his teammates.

After finding that Slice had prepared new bath water, Xu Zhiyan sighed and was forced to take an extra long bath.

[Jiang Huai Que: Xu Baopi, when are you coming over? We found something new here.]

[Jin Sheng: Brother Xu, are you in any trouble? Do you need us to call you? Just tell them that there is an event at the hotel tonight.]

[Xu Zhiyan: Don’t! My companion is set to be my wife, and I am set to like men…]

He was worried that if things continued to develop like this, his reputation as a scumbag would be confirmed. He could transform into a monster on the spot without even attacking by slicing the slices, and twist off everyone's heads.

In the private room 3045 on the third floor.

Jiang Huaique also shook his head at Jin Sheng and Yu Xiu.

"There's something wrong with his companion. At the very least, he's a small boss. He should be the strongest among all the companions so far."

Without any fight, just a glance was enough to make people tremble. Jiang Huaique didn't think that an ordinary humanoid monster could do this. Although it was a little unreasonable, when he thought about the target being Lucky F Xu Zhiyan, everything seemed to make sense again.

Seeing that Yu Xiu wanted to say something, Jiang Huaique waved his hand.

"You can't defend against it. It's terrifying even in human form. I can't imagine how powerful it would be in monster form."

Their goal is to clear the level, not to kill monsters.

Although there will be certain points reward for killing monsters, in this dangerous guild copy, successfully completing the task is more important.

After comforting his teammates, he told Xu Zhiyan about the clues he found in the new room.

[Jiang Huai Que: There is a special item for the guild mission that is lit up in this room. We have placed it as required and added hidden items. No one should see it.]

[Jiang Huai Que: It’s just that when we put down the props, the blood we saw outside the window appeared again.]

Speaking of this, Jiang Huaique still felt a lingering fear.

Yu Xiu and Jin Sheng were looking for clues just now. After he found that the props had reacted, he immediately started to install them.

Unexpectedly, just as they used hidden props to hide the things under the TV cabinet, they heard a violent banging sound on the window. Turning around, the three of them saw that the pool of blood wrapped in the remains of the limbs had returned.

Unlike before, this ball of blood seemed to have deliberately dug out a few eyeballs.

Soaked in blood, seven or eight eyes stared inside, as if observing and searching for something.

The three of them held their breath and did not move.

After five full minutes, the thing outside the window no longer sensed anything, so it slowly retracted its eyes and quietly withdrew, leaving only the familiar red bloodstain on the glass.

[Jiang Huai Que: I acted very quickly. It took only a few dozen seconds from the time I discovered the device to the time I installed it.]

Previously, they would take it out for a moment to check, and put it back when they found it was not bright, and they did not hold it for too long.

The reason Jiang Huaique initially added hidden devices on it was because he was worried that other players might accidentally come in here, take away the props they placed there, and replace them with their own. Unexpectedly, this meticulous move saved them from disaster.

[Xu Zhiyan: It seems that we not only have to avoid NPCs, but also avoid the surveillance of monsters outside the window. However, we have completed 1/9 of the guild mission, which is cause for celebration! ]

[Xu Zhiyan: Are there any other clues? ]

[Jiang Huai Que: Yes, monsters will appear in the mirrors in the hotel after 12 o'clock. You must cover the mirrors to be safe.]

When the three of them discovered this, they had already started to use bed sheets to seal all the mirrors in the suite, whether it was a whole wall of mirrors, or decorative mirrors hanging one after another, even the mirror in the bathroom was not spared.

To ensure the safety of the room, they even asked Xiaoyi to check under the bed.

[Jiang Huai Que: All we can do is seal up all the mirrors in the room, but this hotel is full of mirrors, so I think we may have to shorten our exploration time on the first night.]

They turned this extra suite into a simple safe zone.

【Jin Sheng: Yes, then we can explore the hotel separately before 12 o'clock, and rush back at 12 o'clock to make long-term plans.】

It's not even ten o'clock yet, so if I go out I can explore for another two hours.

Xu Zhiyan highly agreed with his teammates' plan and arranged new tasks.

[Xu Zhiyan: OK, I asked Xiaokuigu to make some small guild promotional cards. I put them in the guild backpack. You can take them and throw them in the corners of the hotel when you explore.]

"Promotional card?"

Jiang Huai and Que looked at each other, as if they couldn't understand what was meant.

After Yu Xiu opened the guild backpack and took out two stacks of palm-sized business cards, Jiang Huaiqie felt the veins on his forehead throbbing, and Jin Sheng was stunned.

The printed postcards have a thick feel and look like they were designed by a professional.

Anyway, both sides are stylish black and gray.

The front is printed with eight gold-plated characters: "Spend money to change your destiny, accept orders online", and in the center of the back is printed Xu Zhiyan's personal payment code, with a blank area deliberately left at the bottom.

At this time, the blank area was being written with beautiful fonts, indicating the content that could be provided to the players.

[Simple safe room rest area, not disturbed by monsters, only 2W points/1h, scan the code and pay, please go to hotel 3045. 】

[If you find clues to the safe house in the dungeon and provide them, you can enjoy a 10% discount. 】

In fact, from the moment Xu Zhiyan entered the hotel, he had been thinking about how to get an extra room. If all the players had to get rid of their companions, they would be in an awkward situation of having no safe place to stay during their night exploration.

But he didn't expect that after twelve o'clock, players not only have to avoid their companions, but also monsters.

Isn’t this money?

Who doesn't want to have a safe place to stay after being chased by a monster?

For this purpose, Xu Zhiyan specially raised the initial price of 5,000 per hour to 20,000.

As for the last tip about the safe house... He has already opened the safe houses in all star-level copies. Since there are slices here, there will most likely be safe houses, but the safe houses can only be pushed inward from the copy.

This time it's not some unlocked safe, but a real safe house that anyone can push.

He added this sentence to encourage other players to spend more time looking for a safe house while decrypting the dungeon. If they can find a safe house in the middle of the dungeon and let the ghosts take the blood away in advance, their entire dungeon journey will be smooth.

But Xu Zhiyan is just thinking about it now.

Because of the natural fear of the original body, in copies of Ghost Slices, safe houses are often hidden in very dangerous places and cannot be easily found by players.

In Suite 3045, the three teammates holding business cards were a little at a loss.

The prices on some of the business cards clearly showed signs of modification. The original price was 5K, but it was crossed out and added to 20,000.

In the live broadcast room, the audience who saw the business card production process wiped away tears and exclaimed in shock.

[Brothers, I have realized that if Xiao Baiwan can lend me his brain, I will definitely be able to accumulate a lot of wealth in a short period of time.]

【? ? What did you realize? Are you worthy of your brain after all this time of realization? 】

[@氪金改命, is your president's brain for rent? 】

【Hahahahaha the person above is laughing to death. 】

[He really did it. I cried my heart out. Xiao Baiwan changed the price fourfold after he found out that monsters would appear in the Midnight Hotel! ! ]

[What a profiteer! This is definitely a profiteer! ]

[Hiss… So these business cards were printed in advance? Why can he bring business cards printed in the real world into the dungeon? ]

[It shouldn't be a product of this world. When Xiao Baiwan was sweeping through the dungeon before, he swept a lot of printers and other things, and didn't leave any paper behind. If it's purely a product of the dungeon, there shouldn't be any problem?! ]

[…? So Xiao Baiwan had already thought of this promotional plan before? ]

In the bathroom where warm steam still lingered, Xu Zhiyan finished explaining everything, leaned on the edge of the bathtub, and watched the text broadcast of his teammates attentively.

Yu Xiu was left in room 3045 to guard the door.

Jin Sheng and Jiang Huaique went out to explore and distributed the guild business cards with information printed on them.

Little Kegu was lying on a makeshift folding table, writing furiously.

The plan was going smoothly, and Xu Zhiyan finally felt a little better. After realizing that the slices would not rush in easily, he decided to take a comfortable hot bath.

It’s better to open the guild system.

Now you can earn points from other players without leaving your home, and you can also arrange for your teammates to help you call the hotel lobby.

At about half past ten, he received the first transfer of 20,000 points.

Xu Zhiyan was very touched.

Unexpectedly, it’s not even midnight yet and players have already transferred points representing trust to him. It seems that his previous actions in the dungeon have solidified his image as an honest businessman!

Just when Xu Zhiyan received two more transfers, an unclear sound of slicing was heard outside the bathroom door.

"Did you fall asleep in there, honey?"

Xu Zhiyan immediately put away his little bone and turned on the shower to let the sound of water out.

"It will be ready soon."

He tried to stall for a while in the bathroom.

But Slice's increasingly frequent urging and gradually lowering voice made him feel that he should get out quickly.

After changing into a bathrobe, Xu Zhiyan took a deep breath and opened the bathroom door.

“Squeak—”

The door opened, but it was pitch black outside. The only light coming from the bathroom was a figure standing nearby, seemingly waiting for him.

After preparing himself mentally, Xu Zhiyan touched his dripping hair. Before he could touch the light switch at the door, the bathroom light behind him turned off with a click.

"My dear, if you don't come out, I will go in to find you."

Listening to the voice gradually approaching, Xu Zhiyan felt that something was wrong... No! This, this didn't seem to be the original female voice?

The next second, he felt his wrist being pulled forcefully by someone. The other person was pulling him too hard and he felt like his bones were about to be crushed. He subconsciously placed his other hand on the other person's hand.

The touch under his palm made Xu Zhiyan feel uneasy.

Shit! He knew why the sound was wrong.

The hand that was pulling him now was no longer a slender woman's hand, but obviously a man's!

No way! Could it be that after the slice was determined that he didn't like women, he took the initiative to change his gender?

Xu Zhiyan was a little overwhelmed.

The other party's subsequent actions also confirmed this point.

An extremely aggressive aura enveloped him, and his figure had completely changed from a delicate and soft-looking beauty to a hard man!

He was embraced by Slice, passively enduring the other's dense kisses on his cheek.

"Wait...child, the child is still here!"

Xu Zhiyan tried to make a final struggle.

"She's asleep, and she's sleeping very soundly. No matter how you call her, she won't wake up." Slice obviously also took this into consideration, completely blocking Xu Zhiyan's last excuse.

After kissing for a while, Slice realized that the lover in his arms did not go to the bedroom, and he couldn't help but laugh softly.

"Don't like going to bed? Then the sofa is not a bad choice..."

“I feel very confused but very satisfied right now.”

It licked the young man's neck affectionately, easily pressed him onto the sofa, and rode on him like a big dog, very impatient.

The sharp canine teeth groped the soft skin on his neck, and Xu Zhiyan shuddered, and the strength of his arms pushing outwards became much weaker.

"No, I think we should talk."

"What are we talking about? If he can do it, so can I. I don't mind being the painter's stand-in." From this sentence, it can be seen that the blood slice was indeed very open-minded this time.

“…”

This sentence made Xu Zhiyan silent.

He bit his lip and made a puzzled sound: "Aren't you compromising a little too quickly?"

Damn it! Why can't this slice try to make some effort in other ways and try to move his heart by spending money?

"No, I can't wait a moment."

"I've been waiting. I've been waiting for a long time. I don't know why, but when I saw you..."

The man's voice gradually faded away.

Xu Zhiyan only felt a pain in his neck and took a breath.

The slice had bitten his neck and was sucking blood!

He really wanted to show off the new power he got from the ghosts and gods, but considering that the guy in front of him was set to be his companion, he would mutate if he hit him... Never mind, he'd just have to endure it.

The young man gave up resistance as if to please the anxious Slice.

It felt that the other party was no longer pushing it out, and it felt very good, and its hands moved much lighter.

"I know you were making excuses before."

"But it doesn't matter. I can wait for you to come up with all your excuses."

As if he felt that he had finally won, this childish slice, who had completely returned to his original form after transforming from a beautiful woman, lowered his head and kissed his lover's ears, then spoke with a smile.

"I know you want to escape from me, but this is impossible. If you have any other means, you can use them now."

After sucking some blood, the slice became satisfied.

It comes with absolute confidence.

It was sure that the young man in its arms would not run away again.

Xu Zhiyan didn't know whether it was true or not, so he pulled his hand out of the other person's arms with difficulty and placed it on the table.

"What escape? What are you talking about?" His tone was flustered, as if he was still trying hard not to admit to the guy in front of him that he had escaped.

Just as the slicer was laughing quietly with great satisfaction, an accident occurred.

"jingle--"

The room phone is ringing!

Slice was stunned at first, then wanted to reach out to hang up the call, but Xu Zhiyan had already put his hand next to the phone, and he immediately picked up the phone as soon as it rang.

"Room service is needed for 3012. Please get a waiter here as soon as possible. Thank you."

After saying this quickly, Xu Zhiyan laughed in the dark, and the young man's clear and joyful laughter echoed in the room.

From Xu Xiaohua's words, it can be inferred that the Slice in front of him does not seem to have a good relationship with other NPCs in the hotel, and when he wanted to call room service before, the other party was very tough.

If you care, there must be a problem.

So Xu Zhiyan specifically asked Yu Xiu to call room service and ask them to call 3012 later.

A phone call completely interrupted the charming and passionate atmosphere. Piece did not speak again. Xu Zhiyan felt the weight of the other person slowly withdrawing from him.

"You are very clever."

The deep male voice turned back into a female voice, but this time it had a hint of gnashing teeth.

Xu Zhiyan smiled and didn't say much.

Since players have to maintain their personalities, should their companions also follow something when they gain the right to modify the player's personalities... If not, why would the other party turn off the lights?

Just as Xu Zhiyan slowly sat up straight with the phone in his hand, the voice coming from the phone startled him all over.

“…You’re not dead.”

It was the voice of the young boy Bai Jin.

In an instant, the young master who held the mermaid and was unwilling to throw her into the water at the last moment appeared in Xu Zhiyan's mind.

Complex emotions filled my heart.

He still remembered how the other person cried because he was going to die. Even if he received a very casual gift, he would treasure it very much...it would be unforgettable.

His little ATM really wasn’t fused with blood!
