Chapter 48: A Nightmare at the Hotel [25]

After witnessing the little girl fall off the corner of the table, Shi Rukui felt a real pain on his face.

But he did not hesitate at all. He immediately put on the iron cage prop, stretched out his hand and threw it, trapping Tingting in the cage. The formation on the ground detached from the ground and turned into ropes, tightly wrapping Tingting.

The one who chanted the spell and the one who threw the props both breathed a sigh of relief. They heard each other exhale softly, looked at each other, and understood what had happened.

This formation and props are temporary, and no one knows when they will become invalid.

"Where is the entrance to the basement?" Shi Rukui walked closer to the cage and squatted down to look at Tingting in the cage.

Tingting bared her teeth, her face turned pale, and her teeth seemed to have become much sharper.

Shi Rukui had an indifferent expression on his face and said nothing. He then spread out his palms, and a ball of light golden in color slowly gathered in his palms.

One man's meat is another man's nut.

For injured humans, healing power is a panacea that instantly repairs wounds. For deceased spirits, these streams of fresh energy are deadly poison.

He had heard from other players that in a supernatural instance, if there was a healing player, they could try to pour healing power into the ghost's mouth.

When the healing power is attached to the spirit of a ghost, the powerful repair ability cannot bring the dead back, but can only cause the deceased to suffer.

However, Shi Rukui never had the chance to try it.

He glanced at the little girl in the cage and had to admit, he was at his wit's end. He couldn't provoke the little girl into transforming into a ghost, and looking at a "harmless" little girl, he couldn't bring himself to hit or threaten her.

Now is a good time to try less brutal methods.

With a slight raise of his hand, a suspended ball of light golden light floated towards the cage.

Yue Xiaoyan stood up and walked closer, watching the ball of light rush into the cage. The little girl was unable to dodge, and the ball of light went straight into her mouth.

For some reason, she felt a chill running up her spine when she saw Tingting's distorted facial features when she swallowed the ball of light.

Next, a shrill ghost cry was heard. Yue Xiaoyan covered her ears, and the light above her head alternated between bright and dark.

Shi Rukui covered his ears, his brow furrowed slightly. The power of attribute repulsion was indeed formidable. He looked at the small, twisted body lying on the ground, hesitated for a moment, and then he closed his hands, and the shrieking sound slowly stopped.

"We just want to know where the entrance to the basement is--" he asked in a calm tone.

"Hehehe——" The little girl with her head buried on the ground laughed muffledly.

Shi Rukui was puzzled at first, then he suddenly opened his eyes wide and said "Oh no" inwardly. Just as he approached the cage, he saw a thin figure turned into a wisp of smoke and crawled out from the gap in the rope iron cage.

In the cage, black blood flowed all over the floor, and a foul-smelling stomach was thrown into a pool of blood.

Shi Rukui opened his palm again, and something began to wriggle inside the bloody stomach. A bulge struggled within the stomach, and finally, with a "poof," it broke through the barrier and burst out of the stinking stomach.

A light golden warm light floated in the air, drifting up and down for a while, then slowly faded and disappeared.

Yue Xiaoyan was standing behind, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should be shocked by Tingting's survival method of digging out her stomach, or ashamed of Shi Rukui's interrogation method.

The scream just now was definitely not acted out. She felt pain just by listening to the sound.

"Cutting off one's wrist to survive, all the monsters in the dungeon can do this..." Shi Rukui suddenly spoke.

"Ah?" Yue Xiaoyan didn't understand what he said, so she took two steps closer to ask.

Shi Rukui put down his hand and shook his head: "It's nothing, maybe I'm overthinking it." His thoughts returned to the situation before him.

As soon as he finished speaking, the floor shook violently.

Yue Xiaoyan held onto the armrest of the sofa and looked at the gradually cracking ground in shock.

"Is this an earthquake?" She didn't know what to do if an earthquake occurred in the dungeon world. Hide in the toilet? Hide in a corner?

This crappy place is haunted, how come there are natural disasters?

Shi Rukui stood up, pulled her arm and backed away, step by step to the hotel front desk.

"It wasn't an earthquake!" Shi Rukui watched the floor collapse. The coffee table fell with the broken cement slab, but there was no echo when it hit the ground. "It was Lu Cai..."

He just took a quick look, but he could be sure that the figure floating in the golden molten lava was definitely Lu Cai who had lost contact with them.

The ground was still cracking, and the sofas and potted plants around it fell down one after another.

"Interesting, really interesting..." The old man's hoarse voice sounded behind him.

The two men looked back warily and saw the hotel owner staring at the sunken ground with sharp eyes.

Yue Xiaoyan was wary of the old man, but couldn't help wanting to know more, so she could only grab her left wrist with her right hand to relieve the tension.

"Boss, your house collapsed, why are you still so happy?" Yue Xiaoyan raised her eyebrows as if watching the fun.

The old man didn't take it seriously: "The little kid is very brave. He didn't run or make a fuss when the house collapsed. He even joked with me."

Shi Rukui looked at the old man from behind Yue Xiaoyan. From his perspective, he could only see the old man's silhouette: gray hair, wrinkled face, and a hunched body bent like a bow.

This silhouette...

"Excuse me, old man, are you born with a hunchback?" Shi Rukui suddenly interrupted and stopped Yue Xiaoyan from speaking.

Yue Xiaoyan let out a long sigh on the side. The old man didn't respond to any of their conversations, and she didn't know what to say.

Born hunchback?

Yue Xiaoyan realized it later and looked up in surprise again.

When Shi Rukui said this, she suddenly remembered! The hunchbacked boy who knocked on the door?

Before they could get a reply, the ground shook again. The two men staggered and quickly looked towards the huge broken hole.

Golden magma surged out from the cave entrance, splashed on the stone slabs, turned into red liquid, and then gradually cooled into black.

The two of them quickly jumped onto the front desk. Shi Rukui supported Yue Xiaoyan and his eyes fell on the place where the golden magma was bubbling.

The magma did not spread upwards, and the stone slabs were not destroyed by the magma. The surface of the magma rose and fell twice, and a thin figure with a faint red light emerged from it.

She showed her head and shoulders, and seemed to be holding something in her hands, pulling it up with great effort. She was an old woman with a hunched body.

Yue Xiaoyan had seen the old woman before. She was a cleaner at the hotel.

"Lu Cai!" Yue Xiaoyan wanted to know what Lu Cai was going to do.

Lu Cai heard the shouting and looked over at them. He seemed relieved when he saw them: "Help me rescue him!"

They were clearly demolishing a house, but how did it end up rescuing people? Cai Lu was also confused.

When she discovered that the basement floor was hot, she should not have been so impulsive as to start demolishing it with her bare hands.

......

Before the magma eruption.

Lu Cai punched the floor a few times, and the floor broke into a pile of fine stones. She reached out and dug a few times, then continued to pound the ground.

The cleaner trapped in the barrier in the distance couldn't help but twitch his lips. This little girl looked skinny, but how could she have the brute force of a bull...

The red light flickered, and Lu Cai was almost blinded by the red flash. At this sudden flash, his whole body became alert.

She swung her hand, grabbed the dagger, and stabbed it to the left side behind her. The thick and smelly liquid splashed on the side of her face.

Lu Cai turned around to draw his dagger, only to meet Liu Jianfei's blackened, festering, and crumbling eyes.

For a moment, the smell of blood mixed with the stench of corpse. Lu Cai pushed Liu Jianfei's body aside with force.

"Long time no see—" The speaker was a girl with a student-like appearance. She had a slender figure, fair skin, and a very pleasant voice, like a wind chime swaying gently on the eaves, ethereal and crisp.

Cai Lu looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the other party was sitting directly on the red barrier covering the cleaner.

If the other party dares to sit down, she is not afraid that Lu Cai will catch her.

Lu Cai swung the dagger, and blood splattered on the ground. "Last time, you said I was different from them?" She sneered, "Do I have extra arms, or am I missing a heart?"

The student tilted his head and toes, his eyes teasing: "You are missing a bone."

Lu Cai looked up at her, his eyebrows raised. What was she saying? Was she calling her spineless? It seemed she hadn't been ruthless enough. She actually called her spineless?

"Such delicious ingredients are actually short of weight—" the student leader seemed indignant.

"Are you... the new cook?" Lu Cai was a little surprised, mainly because the other party's tone of voice was too easily associated with a cook.

The student leader did not refute.

"The food is delicious, more reliable than your previous chef—"

Lu Cai was lucky enough to witness the previous chef's cooking skills. Recalling the table full of "soup", if she had the chance, she would want to say, "Well done, don't do it again next time"...

"If you stay here, you can eat the food I cook for free every day!" the student leader said with a smile.

"What's your name?" Lu Cai remained silent, but he was puzzled. Why were they all trying to recruit her? Could it be that they saw through her true nature as an NPC?

To some extent, she and these rational ghost NPCs can indeed be called "the same kind".

The student shook his head. "It's very rude of you to ask me questions without answering them."

"Oh, I won't stay here." Judge Lu said expressionlessly, "It's your turn to answer the questions."

"I won't tell you." The student leader continued to smile, "But I like you, so I'll give you a gift-"

"You are so polite—" Cai Lu glanced at Liu Jianfei lying on the side and guessed what the gift was.

As expected, a figure as strong as a mountain crawled in from outside, crouching on the ground like a wild beast, sniffing around, and turned to Lu Cai with a pale face reflected in the red light.

When Kunyu spotted Lu Cai, he opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of jagged sharp teeth, and then ran towards him wildly.

She didn't quite understand what the other party meant by using these scumbags to deal with her? Did they think she would consider their friendship and not take action?

What a joke. Lu Cai has entered so many branch lines, and every time he didn't act decisively.

As long as she is not allowed to kill living people, how could she not have the heart to kill these scum who would not even lie down and let others beat and scold them after they died?

Seeing Kunyu approaching, Lu Cai saw that his face bore a striking resemblance to the Axe Ghost, and his anger immediately flared up. He thrust his dagger forward, but the opponent suddenly stopped and dodged the blade.

Very good, compared to Liu Jianfei just now, he is not a brainless monster.

But Lu Cai's movements were faster. The moment he dodged, the blade turned and chased in the direction he retreated.

The blade slashed across his neck, and Kunyu grabbed Lu Cai's wrist in anger.

Lu Cai raised his foot and kicked, and the hand holding the dagger turned, and the blade cut through Kunyu's arm.

The hands that were tightly holding her wrists loosened, and the mountain-like figure fell towards the wall behind her, hit the wall, and fell limply to the ground.

Tsk tsk, even with such a tall body, he is not as resistant to beatings as her.

Lu Cai remembered that he was thrown against the wall, but he was able to make a big hole in the wall.

The head student applauded and smiled at Lu Cai: "You are so cute, you can eat and fight... I can't bear to eat you..."

Cai Lu looked at her. The data on her was relatively easy to analyze. She didn't know if there was a big boss behind her, but she had to catch this student now.

Bang--

A muffled sound of an explosion came from the hole dug by Lu Cai. She frowned and looked at the hole with broken stones on the ground.

Zizi... Zizi...

Golden magma spread out from the cave.

"My soup is ready." The student leader covered his mouth and laughed.
