Chapter 91: Xinlian Hotel (Thirteen)
Lu Chongnian continued the experiment.
This time he tried the right half of the table. After repeating the same operation three times, Mu Yu's handwriting emerged on his right arm.
[Are you testing? It's 3 seconds later, not 5 seconds later]
Lu Zhongnian rearranged the desktop after three seconds.
The answer is clear.
Miao Xiang was shocked, but also a little puzzled: "I can understand that we can move the progress bar of the youth group separately...but why is the progress bar of the youth group not affected by moving the progress bar of the juvenile group? Well, a person grows up from childhood to adulthood, right? In theory, aren't the progress bars of childhood and adolescence connected? Uh, do you understand what I mean?"
Jiang Shuyue said: "I understand, but in this instance, the progress bar we pull is not essentially the progress bar of 'life'. We only return their position and physical condition."
"The ways in which our groups are affected by each other have always been 'injury' and 'death' - if the young group is injured, the other two groups will also have wounds on the same part of their bodies; if the young group dies, the other two groups will also die. The operating logic of this setting has never changed."
Miao Xiang's mind turned around: "Oh, I understand."
Now that they have figured out all of this, they can help the other two groups more conveniently later.
But, there is something very strange——
Hong Yang muttered to himself: "Hasn't our group of four ever carved anything on this table before?"
*
Xinlian Hotel.
The heart-shaped crystal that Yan Shaowen had just obtained was gone, and his speechlessness about this copy had reached its peak.
As a result, Wang Hao is still the only one among them who can leave this map.
Xu Jin said, "How about I go into room 202 and give it a try? Anyway, we already know how to crack this room. If it works, I will go out with Wang Hao to find the other two groups of people! ... Can I?"
She looked at Yan Shaowen awkwardly - because he was the one who cracked Room 202, and she didn't know if Yan Shaowen minded...
Yan Shaowen didn't care: "Go in if you want."
He had no interest in breaking up the couple. Besides, it didn't matter to him which room was left. It would just take a few more minutes to solve the problem.
Xu Jin breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you."
She prepared herself mentally and went into Room 202 alone. During this time, the other three waited in the corridor.
Wang Hao paced back and forth, fidgeting like a husband waiting outside the delivery room for his wife to give birth.
Yu Ning squatted in the corner, quietly.
His silence was naturally due to his deafness, but at this moment he was indeed a little too quiet, as if his entire sense of existence had been erased -
Yan Shaowen turned sideways and glanced over.
He could only see the well-behaved and quiet whorl of hair on the boy's head, and a few hair ends sticking out listlessly, but he could not see the guy's expression.
Were you hit so hard by Room 203?
Soon, the door of room 202 was slammed open, and Xu Jin walked out happily: "I got it!"
She raised her hand, holding a purple crystal!
*
The four of them went down to the first floor together.
Before going down, Yan Shaowen asked tentatively: "Are you sure you want to go out?"
Xu Jin and Wang Hao nodded firmly: "Someone has to go out and take a look first."
The two of them handed the room cards of rooms 202 and 204 to the front desk, who took them with a smile and said to them, "Welcome next time."
At the main entrance, two glass sliding doors slowly moved to the sides, and the exit to the outside world was completely opened.
A gust of wind rushed in from outside the door.
Wang Hao and Xu Jin swallowed.
It was pitch black outside. It was a very familiar scene, the road that used to be in front of the entrance of Xinlian Hotel.
The left and right sides of the road are connected to the Night Market Street and the Garbage Street respectively, and across a crosswalk are residential buildings and avenues leading to further distances.
The road that was always bustling and crowded in my memory was now extremely quiet, with not a single passerby.
When the moment really came, they still felt a little uneasy.
Xu Jin hugged Wang Hao's arm tightly. Wang Hao took two deep breaths, turned his head and said to her: "Jinjin, I'll go out first. If everything is fine after I go out, you can come out later!"
"Ah..." Xu Jin looked at him helplessly.
Wang Hao patted the back of her hand and pulled his arm out.
Yan Shaowen watched calmly from the side, while Yu Ning stood beside him silently.
Under their gaze, Wang Hao walked out step by step.
His crystal coffin rolled behind him, silent and cold, as if just to block his way back.
Wang Hao stepped out of the door, then took another step, two steps, and three steps forward.
He stopped in the middle of the street.
The night wind blew out, ruffling the hem of his clothes.
The lonely figure in the night seemed to have turned into a bead hanging on a steel wire.
The beads are shaky and seem to be about to fall off the string at any time, and the hearts of the spectators are quietly hanging in the air...
Xu Jin clenched her hands and unconsciously raised them to her lips. She prayed silently in her heart, "Don't let anything happen, don't let anything happen, stay safe..."
Wang Hao stood there for a few seconds. He looked to the left, to the right, and then to the front. He repeated this several times and his back gradually relaxed.
Xu Jin's heart also settled down. She put down her hands and a smile gradually appeared on her face.
Wang Hao turned around.
He had the same smile on his face and raised his arms as if he wanted to wave at them, but at that moment, his smile froze.
He opened his eyes wide in confusion and astonishment, staring at them in the hotel in disbelief.
Xu Jin was startled and shouted: "...Wang Hao?"
Yan Shaowen narrowed his eyes and immediately took two steps forward with Yu Ning.
Something is not right.
"Wang Hao? You...what's wrong with you?!" Xu Jin became scared.
Wang Hao seemed not to have heard her voice at all, he was still staring - it was not until this moment that they realized that his gaze did not seem to be focused on them, he was just looking in their direction but not looking at them!
Wang Hao shouted in panic: "Jinjin?!"
"Jinjin, Yan Shaowen, Yu Ning, where are you?!"
He ran towards them anxiously and was about to rush into the hotel, but his figure disappeared in an instant!
Xu Jin looked shocked, and Yu Ning was also slow to react.
Yan Shaowen looked at their left and right sides calmly.
There were still only the three of them and an NPC in the hotel lobby, and there was no sign of Wang Hao.
A few seconds later, Wang Hao appeared on the street outside the door again - he seemed to have run out of the "hotel" again, and was spinning in the street like a headless fly, shouting their names frantically.
Xu Jin covered his mouth and Yu Ning's face darkened.
——It seemed that the Xinlian Hotel building no longer existed in Wang Hao’s field of vision!
Yan Shaowen felt a little strange.
He knew that the Garbage Street and Night Market Street where Mu Yu and Lu Chongnian's groups were located were all surrounded by fog. They all suspected that once they stepped out of the fog, they might never be able to go back. But he didn't expect that the map of Xinlian Hotel would be the same?
There is obviously no fog around this hotel. The copy deliberately made their group's "vision" different from that of the other two groups. Isn't it just to tell them that their group can go out with confidence?
If it is not for this purpose, why does the copy do this?
Xu Jin was so anxious that she wanted to rush towards the door, but Yan Shaowen stopped her.
Xu Jin asked with red eyes: "Why are you stopping me?! I, I want to go accompany him!"
"He said you can go out only when it's safe outside. Is it 'safe' outside now?" Yan Shaowen asked calmly.
Xu Jin bit his lip.
"Wait a minute," Yan Shaowen said calmly, "Let's talk about it after we confirm the situation."
Outside, Wang Hao opened the glass door of the hotbed and climbed up. A few seconds later, he came down with a table knife and began to carve bloody words on his arm.
——He was trying to contact the players in the night market street group.
On this side, Yan Shaowen also performed the same operation.
He took the dinner knife from the hot bed and carved some words under the gazes of Xu Jin and Yu Ning to contact Lu Chongnian.
[Wang Hao is contacting the players in your cooking academy group. Has the other party seen the text? 3 seconds for yes, 5 seconds for no]
Five seconds later, Yan Shaowen was teleported back to the sofa in the lobby not far away.
——The player from the Cooking Academy in the Night Market Group did not see Wang Hao’s engraving.
Xu Jin's face turned pale, and Yu Ning's expression became serious.
Yan Shaowen wrote again: [Can you teleport Wang Hao? Yes in 3 seconds, No in 5 seconds]
Five seconds later, he was teleported back to the sofa again.
The answer is already very clear - Wang Hao's life progress bar can no longer be changed. From now on, whether he is injured or dead, it will no longer be reversed.
Yan Shaowen asked Xu Jin: "Are you sure you want to go out? Once you walk out of here, your life can't be reversed. If you die, the night market group player associated with you will also die. Think about it before making a decision."
Yan Shaowen's words were objective and calm, but Xu Jin opened his mouth and became speechless.
——Because this is obviously no longer her personal matter, her decision will also affect the safety of another stranger.
She clenched her hands, struggling internally.
Wang Hao outside suddenly took two steps forward and shouted into the air: "Jinjin, Jinjin, can you still hear my voice?!"
Xu Jin suddenly raised his head.
"If you can hear it, don't come out yet! The situation outside is too uncertain, don't come out!"
Xu Jin shuddered, and tears instantly welled up in his eyes.
"I'll go look for the other two groups of players first. I'll come back and tell you when I have news! If I can't find anything, then there's no point in you coming out. Then by then-"
On the empty road, Wang Hao stopped shouting halfway through.
Because he couldn't hear any sound and got no response, he didn't know if his current performance was very much like that of a monologue, and whether all his shouting was in vain.
He lowered his head, pursed his lips, then raised his head and looked around hesitantly.
...So, which group of players should he look for first?
In the hotel, Xu Jin couldn't help crying. They had clearly agreed to leave together, but now Wang Hao was leaving alone.
Yu Ning patted her shoulder gently and typed on his phone to comfort her: "The situation outside is just a little uncertain, it may not be dangerous. At least we don't see any monsters now."
"I know, I'm just worried about him..." Xu Jin choked.
Yan Shaowen didn't say anything. He just stared at Wang Hao and took two steps forward.
...I always feel that there must be a deep meaning behind the copy creating such a vision for their group.
What did He want them to see?
What did He want them to find, to know?
If there really is something outside, then some of the players among them have already come outside, and that "thing"... should have revealed its true appearance.
Outside, Wang Hao stood there for half a minute, as if he had finally made up his mind, and turned around and walked to the left - he planned to look for the players in the night market street group first!
However, perhaps because he was absent-minded, he did not see the road clearly, and when he raised his left leg, it hit a road post at his feet. Immediately, he grimaced, raised his leg, and jumped up on the spot!
He jumped twice, breathing in and out, then his movements quickly became smaller, and a hint of doubt gradually appeared on his face.
He put down his leg and shook it...it didn't seem to hurt as much as he had imagined. Then, his eyes moved to the road post.
He looked at it suspiciously for two seconds, bent down, stretched out his hand, and touched it...
Yan Shaowen kept staring at him closely.
He saw... Wang Hao touched the road post, was stunned for a moment, raised his palm to look at it, as if he couldn't believe his own feel, then stretched out his index finger and pressed down on the top surface of the road post...
His index finger sank into the road post so easily.
Yan Shaowen’s gaze froze.
Wang Hao was completely stunned.
He was stunned for two seconds, pulled out his finger, and reached out without hesitation to grab a piece directly from the road post - a corner of the road post was missing!
What's this? !
