After lying in bed for a while, Yin Zhu still hadn't received any notification, but she basically knew what the staff group had chosen.

After all, the request was indeed quite absurd, and Yin Zhu herself was not entirely confident that things would go as smoothly as she had imagined, so she didn't have high expectations at first.

Under these circumstances, waiting is indeed a good idea.

Yin Zhu carefully investigated the house again and found no hidden cameras; the kettle in the house was also brand new and showed no signs of having been used to boil socks or underwear.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Most people wouldn't come to this run-down place, so the chances of encountering weirdos are even lower than in a regular hotel.

The only unusual thing was that Yin Zhu found a crumpled piece of paper stained with dark red in an uncleaned trash can. Upon opening it, she found words resembling rules inside:

[By the time you see this crumpled piece of paper, I'll probably be dead. If you want to survive in the new citizens' temporary apartment, please remember these four questions:]

1. Is the creature knocking on your door really someone you know?

2. Why can't I stay in this temporary apartment for more than three days?

3. Aren't you curious about what the thirteenth floor is for?

4. Can that mirror really be used for communication?

Can.

Yin Zhu, who had just been scolded by Jing Gui, was a little speechless. She casually crumpled up the paper again and threw it into the trash can.

In Yin Zhu's view, these four questions are completely useless. If the first, second and fourth points are nonsense, then the third point is a distraction hidden in the middle to mislead the chosen one.

In this temporary apartment, there is no doubt that the apartment rules take far greater priority than a piece of paper of dubious origin.

...

"What is he doing? Why did he throw away the crumpled paper? What if it contained an important clue?"

"It's her! Not him! Yin Zhu is the female chosen one!"

"Fun fact: The character '他' (tā) has the '人' (rén, person) radical and can refer to all people, not just men. The character '她' (tā) with the '女' (nǚ, woman) radical was only popularized in modern times when it was imitated from the Golden Lion Kingdom's 'she' and 'he'. It is not a commonly used character that has been popular in the Dragon Kingdom since ancient times."

"Don't you all realize that using 'he' now implicitly refers to both men and women?"

"There were reports before that Yin Zhu was a female Chosen One, and some people criticized why men didn't need to be emphasized as male Chosen Ones, but women had to be mentioned as females. Why are people unhappy now that we don't mention that she's female?"

"Are you trying to confuse the issue again?"

"Stop arguing, I think that comment was just a typo!"

"Clean up the live stream chat!"

The chat in the Dragon Kingdom's live stream started arguing for the nth time, and the questions that people cared about before were no longer being mentioned.

The think tank didn't have time to argue with them, because they had also seen the note through the live stream camera, and they also saw Yin Zhu frown and throw the paper ball back.

“She doesn’t agree with what the crumpled paper says.” Yu Qi, who is good at observing, noticed the details of her body language.

“Either she thinks the words on the note are wrong, or she thinks the words on it are useless,” Chai Yuxuan added. “We know the answers to the second and fourth points. The reason why it cannot exceed three days is because the accommodation fee needs to be paid with the soul, and the mirror can not only communicate but also curse people.”

“We already know the outcome of the first one.” An Zhi nodded. “Yin Zhu herself didn’t go to see it, but she can tell from the Chosen Ones in other countries that the people outside are not complete.”

[Apartment Rule 5: If you hear a knock on the door, please confirm that the person outside is someone you recognize and who is fully intact. Otherwise, do not open the door.]

“Next, we can analyze who left the note.” Meng Li zoomed in on the screenshot on her tablet. “This room is very clean, which means that the temporary apartment is regularly cleaned. It means that the staff here cleaned the room after the last resident left. In that case, the note in the trash can is very suspicious.”

Fang Kuo nodded in agreement: "Indeed, if the previous tenant died in the room, or even if blood was sprayed on the paper, the waiter doesn't need to make a point of replacing everything else before leaving the paper."

"Most importantly, Article 3 of the paper ball clearly conflicts with the apartment rules. It is intended to guide the chosen ones to the thirteenth floor, which is very likely a trap."

Knock knock.

Mo You suddenly tapped the table, drawing everyone's attention to her, before slowly speaking: "What's even stranger than those things isn't why the temporary apartment is in a hotel, but rather why there are staff members in the apartment?"

This was a question someone asked Yin Zhu when she first arrived at her destination: "You call your five-star hotel a temporary apartment?"

However, their attention was quickly drawn to the exceptionally handsome young man at the front desk, and several bizarre events followed, which frightened even those chosen ones from various countries who did not fail there, so they forgot about the problem.

“Theoretically, it can be explained.” He Zihan had thought about this problem before, but when the human brain encounters something incomprehensible, it will always automatically find a rational explanation for it: “Sin City is not a normal human city, but a special area composed of criminals from outside. So it is very likely that the original hotel has been abandoned, and the manager of the temporary apartment has taken over the land.”

This speculation was raised when the rules were seen on the bus.

1. In Sin City, you must abide by the rules of each area. Each area open to the public will have its own supervisor.

Each supervisor has their own area of ​​jurisdiction, and different supervisors will set different rules.
