After solving some of the problems, the next issue is food and accommodation.
I learned from Xiao Min that there are two types of accommodation in Judgment City. One is a hotel, which costs 1 point per day and includes three meals; the other is buying a house, and the cheapest room costs 150 points.
Now Xu Wei has 117 points in total from the dungeon rewards and the dividends from selling bandages, which is not enough to buy a house, let alone Lu Fanye.
The two had to check in at the Judgment Hotel. Their rooms were not on the first floor. Xu Wei was in room 5010 and Lu Fanye was in room 8111.
Although this hotel is the only official residence in Judgment City and is suspected of monopoly, its environment and atmosphere are very good, the rooms are spacious, the beds are big enough, there are kitchens and bathrooms, the decoration is exquisite, and there are even huge floor-to-ceiling windows. It is like a small apartment.
At this moment, Xu Wei was lying on his back on the soft bed, staring at the chandelier above his head in a daze——
It doesn't feel real. Even after completing a copy, there is still a sense of unreality.
I was clearly lying on the bed playing with my mobile phone, and my mother was sleeping next door. A few days later, I found myself in a city that cannot be explained by current technology, living in a space-compressed hotel that can accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time.
That's ridiculous.
He turned over, his hair blocking his eyes. Xu Wei brushed it away and looked out the window.
This is the 50th floor. The streetscape below has shrunk to a line, and the only view is the endless blue sky. Apart from the sky, the distant view is blank and empty, like a rushed work, where even the perfunctory textures were forgotten to be added.
The Judgment City on the map is a circular city, with the area behind the City Hall as the center and the long street as the circumference, which wraps all the buildings tightly. As long as you pass through the outer row of streets and want to go out, you will encounter an air wall and cannot go any further.
Xu Wei thought of the phrase "drawing a circle on the ground to create a prison".
The prisoners called "players" escaped from the purgatory of the dungeon and were imprisoned in the judgment city called "the happy home of mankind", where they worked hard to learn new things and exercise their bodies, all in order to clear the next dungeon as soon as possible.
The City of Judgment is like a whip, waving in the void, urging its subordinates to exhaust their flesh and blood to pull its mill.
Thinking about having to go to another dungeon in seven days, Xu Wei became even more irritated. He rolled over on the bed and his pillow fell to the ground.
I was lying on the head of the bed, reaching down to grab the pillow, when I suddenly heard a very subtle sound coming from the door.
Maybe it was someone passing by the door, or maybe it was the wind making an accidental noise, but when I listened carefully, it seemed like I had heard it wrong.
Xu Wei put the pillow on the bed and opened the bracelet to send a message to Lu Fanye.
【Xu Wei: Are you at the door?】
After a while, the other party replied.
[Lu Fanye: No, I’m taking a shower]
[Lu Fanye: Is there someone at your door? Do you need me to come over? ]
Xu Wei replied "Not for now", then tiptoed to the door, leaned against it and listened carefully.
There was no sound, just silence.
This made Xu Wei even more certain about the noise just now - if the current silence outside was normal.
It's too quiet.
It was so quiet that it made people uneasy.
If it had not been for repeated confirmation at the front desk that the room was safe as long as the door was not opened, Xu Wei would have frantically cried for help to Lu Fanye.
【Xu Wei: I have something outside.】
[Xu Wei: Is Judgment City really absolutely safe? ]
[Xu Wei: Don’t come over, it might be a bit troublesome. I’m going to use the peephole to check. If I don’t get a reply in five minutes, notify the front desk to come and rescue me.]
[Xu Wei: If the door is broken, remember to ask them to pay for it. The front desk said it’s three times the amount.]
After sending the message, Xu Wei took a deep breath to calm his heartbeat, then slowly raised his body and leaned over the peephole to look out.
There seems to be no one.
The cat's eye lens has distortion. Although it is a wide-angle lens, the picture is crowded and difficult to distinguish. Xu Weilai didn't pay attention on the way here. She was not familiar with the scenery outside, so she couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.
The flowerpots with fake trees, the light brown carpet, the dark yellow wall with inlaid patterns and the door of room 5009 opposite, everything looks normal, just like the decoration of an ordinary hotel.
What's wrong?
Xu Wei closed his right eye, trying to see more clearly with just one eye.
The flowerpots with fake trees, the light brown carpet, the dark yellow wall with inlaid patterns and the door of room 5009 opposite, everything looks normal, just like the decoration of an ordinary hotel.
What's wrong?
Xu Wei moved closer and felt that the wall was a little torn and didn't match the brand new one next to it.
The flowerpots with fake trees, the light brown carpet, the dark yellow wall with inlaid patterns and the door of room 5009 opposite, everything looks normal, just like the decoration of an ordinary hotel.
What's wrong?
The tree in the pot shows signs of wilting. Is it because it has not been watered?
What's wrong?
Xu Wei pondered over it, but couldn't figure it out, so he scratched his head.
This is a very difficult question.
The bracelet vibrated.
Lu Fanye sent another message, but Xu Wei didn't want to read it because he was busy now.
But he seemed to be persistent, and the news kept coming, until his hands were numb from scratching his head.
Xu Wei was annoyed and wanted to curse him as soon as he opened the message.
[Lu Fanye: Don’t go over there]
[Lu Fanye: I’ll be there soon]
[Lu Fanye: Don’t open the door]
[Lu Fanye: Don’t open the door]
[Lu Fanye: Don’t move]
The hand that clicked on the message trembled, and goose bumps broke out all over the body. Xu Wei's scalp was numb, and a chill climbed up his spine inch by inch, freezing his whole body and he dared not move.
After a while, he looked stiffly at his right hand.
The security door chain was unfastened, and the bedside table blocking the door was moved away. The hand was on the door handle, which turned half a circle and was only one step away from opening the door.
And in my impression, I was standing there scratching my head.
It was still quiet outside the door, without any sound.
"It" is still there.
Waiting for the door to open.
“Gurgle, gurgle….”
"Sizzle...Gurgle..."
After a long time, the door didn't open before something outside moved and made a slight noise.
It is a thick, sticky and huge existence.
Separated by a wall, it squirmed its body, filling the entire corridor, lying on the door frame of 5010, sticking to the door panel, trying to squeeze in through the gap.
The carpet is not light brown, that is the mark of wetness; the wall has no pattern, that is the mark of countless closed eyes.
Xu Wei's hands were shaking. He didn't dare to let go of the door handle, nor did he dare to turn it back. He stood there stiffly, listening to the noise outside the door.
Knock on the door three times.
"Xu Wei, open the door, I'm here." Lu Fanye said outside.
"Xu Wei? Are you okay?"
"Open the door?"
Boom boom boom.
Boom boom boom!
"Are you in there? Can I just come in..."
Before the person outside the door could finish speaking, Xu Wei suddenly let go of his hand and rushed to the big bed, but his legs went weak and he fell to the ground. He almost crawled to another bedside table, found a landline phone, and pressed the "#" key with trembling hands.
"Click." The sound of the door handle turning.
Xu Wei's whole body was shaking and his legs went limp. He leaned against the bed with difficulty, took deep breaths, and stared at the door.
“Click, click—”
The doorknob turned.
“Crunch—”
The door slowly pushed inwards, and the door hinges made a friction sound, which was like a whistle in this extremely silent moment, and something heavy squeezed in.
Xu Wei's pupils widened and his whole body trembled.
No?
There was nothing, nothing outside the door.
I felt curious and went to take a look at the door.
"It left? When did it leave?" he muttered to himself.
The outstretched hand suddenly hesitated for a moment. What is it doing now?
Don't press it.
What does the phone do?
The bracelet vibrated again.
Xu Wei came back to his senses from his trance, slapped himself hard with his other hand, pressed the "#" key again, and tried his best to concentrate.
five.
Four.
three.
two.
wrong.
The hairs on his neck stood up, an electric current shot from his feet to the top of his head, and Xu Wei fell to the right!
"What are you doing?" Lu Fanye's voice whispered in her ear.
