Chapter 4, ah, this familiar plot.

Xin Que had no idea why the man and woman who suddenly appeared would both mistake her for the female supporting character, Xin Xin.

Despite her simple t-shirt, trousers, and sneakers, she seemed to belong to a completely different world compared to the two elegantly dressed individuals.

Zhou Ziyan, as if blind, pushed Xin Que into the elevator, winking at her as if hinting at something.

"Alright, brother," Zhou Ziyan turned around and pulled Zhou Zichuan away, "Don't worry about Luo Huayi, he's a grown man, he won't get lost... Hurry up and take me home!"

Xin Que's limbs were still somewhat unresponsive.

She looked around at the cramped space inside the elevator, and finally crashed directly into the elevator panel.

After several impacts, the elevator, which was ascending, finally came to a stop.

It wasn't Zhou Ziyan who pressed the button for the 16th floor.

Xin Que breathed a sigh of relief and stumbled towards the fire escape.

"Squeak—"

The heavy fire door was pushed open, and Xin Que slumped into a dimly lit corner, gradually regaining some strength.

“In this world…” Xin Que would unconsciously close her eyes when she was deep in thought.

She has roughly grasped some of the rules governing how this world works.

Plot takes precedence, protagonist secondary.

However, judging from her previous actions of deviating from the plot, even strangling an NPC, the rules, or rather the will of Heaven, will not directly punish her.

Instead, he was forcibly sent back to the scene of the angst novel by the characters in the plot just because he wanted to leave the city.

The red text that was flashing faintly in front of me seemed to have slowed down a bit.

As her limbs gradually regained their freedom of movement, Xin Que realized that the physical punishment imposed on her by the rules was gradually fading.

Was the punishment ended because the male lead was also in the hotel, and the rules determined that she was participating in the storyline?

Xin Que stretched her stiff neck.

“Compared to the world of novels…” Xin Que sat on the cold, dark steps, her voice growing softer and softer.

This world feels more like a place used to imprison and control her...

prison.

......

Luo Huayi had a splitting headache, and her brain felt like it was about to explode.

In a daze, he propped himself up to reach for his phone.

Something's not right...

Luo Huayi's consciousness became increasingly chaotic. He forced himself to think, his mind flashing back to the friends who had come to toast him at the party earlier that day.

We've been outmaneuvered.

Luo Huayi didn't have time to think about who had drugged him.

The most important thing now is... call 120!

Unable to find his phone, he propped himself up to dial the hotel room phone, trying to call for help.

"Damn it..." Luo Huayi threw down the hotel's communication device, ignoring her weak legs, and forced herself to open the door and call for help.

Who on earth took his phone, cut off his ability to call for help, and schemed against him so thoroughly!

Regardless, Luo Huayi had already designated this suite as a dangerous zone and insisted on leaving the space immediately.

The magnificent star-rated hotel seemed to have suddenly lost its liveliness.

No matter whose door Luo Huayi knocked on, or how desperately she cried for help...

No one responded.

The world before Luo Huayi's eyes became increasingly blurry.

Finally, dragging his almost uncontrollable body, he stumbled into the elevator due to inertia.

......

Xin Que had regained her strength and was walking briskly through the stairs.

If you take the elevator, there's a very high chance you'll bump into the male lead.

She ignored the plot prompts flashing before her eyes, her steps quick yet barely making a sound on the stairs.

Almost none of the motion-activated lights in the hallway were ever turned on.

This part of the plot is even more melodramatic. The male lead is drugged with an aphrodisiac by the female supporting character, and he mistakes her for a woman who is pursuing him and throwing herself at him. He uses her as a tool for sexual gratification, and once he's done with her, he turns his back on her and despises her for being so devoted.

Xin Que, harboring a pent-up rage suppressed by the small world, continued walking without stopping.

Even if the Heavenly King himself were here, no one could force her to follow this deadly plot!

Pushing open the fire escape door on the first floor, Xin Que practically dashed out.

"Help..." Xin Que's eyes didn't move, and her legs seemed to have eyes. She hurdled over the tall, drunk man lying on the ground in the center of the lobby and rushed towards the revolving door of the lobby.

Luo Huayi watched helplessly as the only living person in the empty hotel passed overhead. Clinging to her last shred of consciousness, she cried out for help, her voice hoarse and weak from exhaustion, "Help...help me..."

Xin Que didn't stop at all.

That's strange, did someone just speak?

Xin Que frowned, but her steps were swift as she fled, it had nothing to do with her.

Hearing the sound of the revolving door turning, Luo Huayi's face was filled with despair. "I just wanted to... borrow a phone to call 120..."

In the end, Luo Huayi could no longer muster any strength, her head lolled to the side, and she completely fainted.

Xin Que crashed heavily into the revolving door.

If nothing unexpected happens...

"Fuck!" Xin Que cursed, rubbing her aching shoulder. "So the plot won't open the door, huh!"

It's unclear whether Xin Que's curses were too vulgar, or whether the laws of nature had finally reached their breaking point with this woman who repeatedly defied the plot.

"Click—"

The sound of a switch being turned off filled the room, plunging the entire hotel into darkness.

Xin Que stood in the dark hall, her eyes wide open.

Is that even possible?!

Luo Huayi lay motionless on the cold marble tiles, looking very peaceful.

Xin Que crossed Luo Huayi's path countless times, but ultimately failed to find the location of the power distribution room.

Wait a minute, even if we find it, it might be useless.

Xin Que glanced at her hands and realized that she seemed to only know how to break power, not how to repair electrical appliances.

The hotel seemed to be isolated from the world, deserted and devoid of any guests or waiters. If it weren't for the fact that the facilities and environment were brand new and cleaned, Xin Que would have almost thought she was trapped in some abandoned haunted house.

I took out my phone and checked it; there was no signal.

Xin Que was barely able to contain her anger.

She kicked the sofa next to her.

Wait, this doesn't feel right on my feet.

Xin Que turned on her phone's flashlight and glanced at the thing she had kicked.

"Holy crap, a living person?" After observing carefully, she realized that this person seemed to be the drunkard she had passed by countless times.

As soon as Xin Que turned the man over, she saw his face with his eyebrows and eyes tightly closed, and quickly turned him over again, making him lie face down on the ground.

Depend on.

The plot really went to great lengths to bring her and Luo Huayi together.

Xin Que then abandoned Luo Huayi and went to find other exits from here.

The elevator was out of service, and there was only the fire escape... But to save her energy, she had already gone up to the second floor to check, and all the doors were tightly closed and the windows were locked from the inside.

Xin Que knew from just touching the window that it was probably bank-grade bulletproof glass.

It's impossible to break the glass and get out.

Xin Que returned to the main hall empty-handed.

Luo Huayi was still lying on the ground like a dead fish.

Xin Que then thought of the tragic plot that was about to unfold.

After Luo Huayi used traditional Chinese medicine to make Xin Que's sauce, he would be blocked at the hotel by people Xin Xin had prepared in advance the next morning.

Originally, it was a scene that Xin Xin had carefully planned to help her rise to power, but Xin Que stole her opportunity through a series of coincidences, which led to Xin Xin's intensified revenge.

Xin Que scanned the lobby, but finally fixed her gaze on the unconscious Luo Huayi.
