"What rules?"
“First, you are not allowed to enter other people’s rooms without the permission of other guests.
Second, the public areas of the apartment, including the lobby, kitchen, and laundry room, are not allowed to be entered or used after midnight.
Third, there will be other guests checking in at night, so if you hear any strange noises coming from the common areas, please ignore them.
Fourth, there are nineteen rooms in the apartment, so please be careful not to go to the wrong room number to avoid any accidents."
At this point, the charming smile on the woman's face froze for a moment. "The last and most important point is that the number after twelve is taboo in this apartment. Never mention that number in front of the woman in red!"
Thirteen!
Woman in red!
Wu Fei and Ma Xiaoling instinctively looked at the portrait above her head.
At that moment, Wu Fei saw the eyes of the woman in the red cheongsam in the portrait suddenly appear, and her cold gaze shot towards her.
But at this moment, the woman's face became hazy again.
"My two guests, your room numbers are nine and seventeen, on the third and fifth floors respectively."
Ma Xiaoling was stunned: "Why can't we share a room?"
"Every room in the apartment is equipped for singles and only has a single bed. It is not suitable for you two to live together." The woman said with a smile.
"Then at least let us live on the same floor. What's the matter with one on the third floor and the other on the fifth floor?"
"I'm sorry, the other rooms are full and it's difficult for me to adjust." The woman laughed again.
Ma Xiaoling was about to explode when Wu Fei pulled her back: "Alright, let's stay here."
"Two hundred per person per night, cash only," the woman said.
Ma Xiaoling immediately took out four hundred-dollar bills from her bag and slapped them on the table.
The woman took the money and handed them two keys with house numbers on them: "Remember, don't go to the wrong room!"
The apartment has five floors and twenty rooms, with four rooms on each floor. In order of rooms, the first floor is one, two, three, and four, the second floor is five, six, seven, and eight, and so on.
Wu Fei asked Ma Xiaoling to live in number five and went upstairs with the key.
Ma Xiaoling suddenly said, "I'll go up with you to take a look."
The woman stood in the lobby on the first floor, looking at the two of them with a strange smile on her face. "Ka, ka, ka, ka, don't enter other guests' rooms without permission. You will be kicked out if you break the apartment rules!"
The two looked at each other and walked upstairs.
According to the order in which the rooms are arranged, Room 13 should appear on the fourth floor.
But there were only three rooms on the fourth floor, and room 13 was not one of them.
The two observed for a while and found that according to the arrangement pattern of the rooms downstairs, Room 13 should be at the end of the corridor on the fourth floor.
But there was a wall.
"Go up and take a look!"
The two went up to the fifth floor.
Ma Xiaoling suddenly sneered, "I was wondering why this weirdo was so friendly. It turns out it was waiting for us here!"
Only then did they realize that Room 9 and Room 17, where they lived, were located on the floors above and below Room 13.
In short, the two people's room was like the two ends of a sandwich, sandwiching the sealed Room 13 in the middle.
Opening the door of room 17, there was a small room of less than 20 square meters.
There is a narrow bathroom as soon as you enter the door, next to which is a 1.2-meter single bed, a small bedside table and a large wardrobe connected to the wall.
There is a writing desk and chair by the window.
Ma Xiaoling immediately opened the wardrobe against the wall. A white bathrobe was hanging inside. The wardrobe was sealed with wooden boards on all sides, and no secret passages were found.
Ma Xiaoling frowned and whispered, "My mission is to find the players who disappeared from the morgue, but I haven't received any missions to complete the dungeon game yet. What about you?"
Wu Fei was slightly stunned and slowly shook her head.
"Are there any of the players you're looking for that I know?"
"Lin Yun and Wang Jian," Ma Xiaoling said, "They both became brain dead after the Malicious Campus dungeon. Their families rushed them to the hospital, but to no avail. When they were taken to the morgue for cremation the next day, they discovered their bodies were missing."
"We investigated the surveillance footage and found footage of two people getting out of bed and leaving on their own. They eventually entered the deserted village."
Wu Fei frowned: "How did the police determine whether they were dead or alive?"
Ma Xiaoling looked at her helplessly. "The hospital has complete diagnostic records confirming they were already dead, but the surveillance footage shows they slipped out of the hospital alive."
"The resurrected player..." Wu Fei thought thoughtfully.
"Let's not talk about this for now." Ma Xiaoling said, "I think the landlady deliberately arranged for us to stay in these two rooms. You must be careful."
Wu Fei pondered, "I wonder if the prompt to clear the mission will only be activated when we are alone in the room?"
Ma Xiaoling glanced at her and said, "Okay, I'll go down first. If you have anything, we can contact each other by phone..."
As she said that, she reached for her cell phone, but it was empty.
"My cell phone is missing?" Ma Xiaoling's face changed drastically, and she immediately reached behind her waist.
"The gun is gone too!"
Wu Fei rummaged through her backpack and found that everything except her cell phone was there.
"Is it possible that the time and space where the copy exists does not have mobile phones?"
"And the gun?"
"Is your pistol the latest model?" Wu Fei remembered something. "As we walked along, whether it was the villagers or the proprietress, or even the man and woman in the painting hanging in the hall, their clothes were not from this era."
