Chapter 118 Rainy Night Hotel 9
[The second vote is about to begin.]
Yu Xi, who was still in the bathroom, was a little confused after hearing the prompt from the main system, but the voice of the main system continued.
[The murder and dismemberment case that occurred in the hotel on a rainy night many years ago has not been solved to this day. The suspect, the hotel owner, disappeared completely and his whereabouts are still unknown to this day.] [
Many years later, you gathered in the hotel again because of a heavy rain, but the strangers who were traveling with you were full of doubts. A murder occurred again at night, which was very similar to the murder case in the hotel many years ago.]
[What was the motive of the hotel owner for the murder? Is he among you?]
[Please select the murderer]
It's going to end so soon?
Yu Xi was a little hesitant, always feeling that something was wrong.
They haven't found any clues yet... and it seems that there are only a few players in the whole hotel. Even the person who killed people with an electric saw that night should be one of the players.
With only this little information, there is no way to find the owner of the hotel?
And...
Yu Nu stared at the text panel of the main system and asked hesitantly, "... He asked to choose the murderer, but I am not the murderer's boss."
Yu Nu hesitated and felt that the system was wrong. She came out of the bathroom and returned to the first floor.
The remaining five people had been waiting on the first floor for a long time.
"Isn't this our last vote?" Brother Wang frowned and raised his hand to rub his highlighted platinum hair. "Damn, it's a bit weird."
Everyone knew what he meant by "weird".
Until now, they still haven't grasped any key clues, and even one player has died. There haven't been many key events in the past few days of the dungeon.
Except for the electric saw man who killed people in the bathroom that night, but no one except Yu Zhen witnessed the scene.
With so few clues and such a short time, the system actually let them vote out the murderer directly?
How is it possible?
"No, no, no," Tan Lan put his hands together and put them in front of his forehead, "No, there must be something key that we haven't found yet."
"We found a group photo taken many years ago, proving that we actually knew each other and had a close relationship."
"The hospital gown... and Sun Mei is a nurse, which can all prove that we were probably staying in the hotel as patients back then."
Tan Lan raised his head, "Someone must have found the clue but chose to keep it secret, There are too many clues missing, for example... there must be something that can prove why we stayed in the hotel that year."
Brother Wang slammed the table, "None of you have found any clues! Now hurry up and take them out, the one hiding the clues must be the murderer!"
Shen Lin remained silent from beginning to end, but Chi Rong glanced at Brother Wang and sneered, "No means no, none of us have found any clues, so, are we all the murderer?"
Brother Wang stood up angrily and wanted to say something, but the main system prompted again to start voting immediately.
The hall was silent.
[Chi Rong: 2]
[Qin Lingqi: 2]
[Yu Xi; 1]
[One person gave up, no highest votes detected, no one eliminated, game continues]
No one was eliminated after two consecutive votes.
Tan Lan sighed deeply, "We have wasted two opportunities. Now only one Sun Mei died. If Sun Mei was the affirmative side, then there should be at least three affirmative players on the field now."
"Three to three, the affirmative side can only eliminate the negative side by voting, while the negative side can take action according to the character settings and the direction of the plot."
"The situation is very unfavorable for the affirmative side."
The atmosphere on the first floor fell into silence for a while.
But before the other players could say anything, a white light suddenly flashed in front of everyone, and Yu Xi felt that her feet were empty, and the whole person fell down like a free fall from a high altitude.
The surrounding scenery began to shatter and fall visibly. All the players fell down like Yu Zhen. The floor was empty and there was a bottomless black hole below.
There were loud noises all around, which made Yu Zhen's ears hurt.
Qin Lingqi was the closest to Yu Zhen, and he had held Yu Zhen's hand tightly when he fell.
Yu Zhen felt a little dizzy and closed her eyes subconsciously until she felt the familiar heavy ground under her feet again. The originally dark environment suddenly became bright, and the chirping of birds rang in her ears.
"Hey, why don't you react at all?"
As soon as the words fell, a dull voice rang out.
Her cheeks felt hot, as if she was outdoors. The sun was particularly hot, and Yu Nu's eyelids were a little uncomfortable from the sun.
"Xiao Nuo is still standing here. If you don't hurry up, we will be impatient to wait!"
Yu Nuo opened her eyes.
One or two sparrows stood on the top of a green tree, with their heads tilted to comb their feathers. In the distant grass, a magpie was happily picking up food scraps.
This is...
Yu Nuo raised her arms and saw that she was wearing a hospital gown.
"Stop dawdling! Hurry up and climb up the tree to pick apples for Xiao Nuo!"
The boy next to her raised his leg and kicked the person on the ground. He used quite a bit of force, and the latter lowered his head and made a muffled sound.
Following the sound, Yu Nu saw a familiar face under a mess of black hair.
ββIt was Qin Lingqi.
What was going on?
Yu Nu subconsciously wanted to pull up the bullied Qin Lingqi, but Qin Lingqi gave him a look through his thick hair, signaling Yu Nu not to move.
Then, at the urging of the other boys, Qin Lingqi propped up his arms and stood up. Wearing a gray hospital gown, he obediently began to climb the tree according to their requirements.
Behind him was the apple tree.
Yu Nu had no choice but to start looking around.
The empty and bustling grass, a few apple trees, and...
Her sight suddenly stopped, and Yu Xi stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar building not far away, and a thought flashed through her mind.
This, this is a hotel.
No, it's Qiushan Sanatorium.
The backyard was exactly the same as in the photo, with a red brick wall covered with vines and a green lawn.
It is indeed Qiushan Sanatorium.
So are they back to the Qiushan Sanatorium more than ten years ago?
Yu Xi looked around quickly, and except for Qin Lingqi, there was no one else around.
Qin Lingqi climbed the tree very quickly, and in a few steps he climbed to the top of the tree and picked a few green and red apples.
The young people who were waiting for Qin Lingqi to embarrass himself were suddenly unhappy.
"Hey, who told you to come down?" The boy next to Yu Nan took a step forward and glared at Tan Lingqi, "You are not allowed to get too close to Xiao Nan, give me the apple!"
Tan Lingqi seemed not to have heard him, and walked forward on his own, pushing aside the boy who was blocking him, took out the biggest apple in his arms, wiped it with his clothes, and then stuffed it into Yu Nan's hand.
Yu Nan took it inexplicably, not understanding what Tan Lingqi was up to.
"Didn't you hear me?" The boy was furious and grabbed Qin Lingqi's collar, pulling it so hard that it was deformed. "Who told you to get close to Xiao Miao?"
Qin Lingqi was taller than the boy, and the blue and white stripes on his body were a bit wider. The veins on his wrists, which were exposed outside his sleeves, were slightly bulging, and his bony fingers were holding the remaining apple.
He drooped his eyelids slightly, and his dark eyes reflected the boy's provocative expression. He uttered each syllable of the word slowly:
"What does it have to do with you?"
As he said this, Qin Lingqi raised his hand and threw the apple in his hand straight into the boy's face in front of everyone's shocked eyes.
ββ"Bang!"
The boy looked down blankly, and drops of blood slowly flowed from under his nose, falling on the grass with a pat.
Qin Lingqi looked at him expressionlessly.
The boy covered his nose, and before he could say anything, he felt dizzy and fell to the ground with his eyes rolled up.
"
Comrade Qin Lingqi! Why are you always causing trouble!" The
older head nurse slapped the table with a loud bang.
Yu Nan was startled by the sound, and she shrank her neck and dodged back. The head
nurse noticed Yu Nan's movements, slightly suppressed the anger on her face, and softened her tone, "Don't be afraid, little Nan, it has nothing to do with you, I'm not angry with you."
Although he had just arrived at Qiushan Nursing Home not long ago, Yu Nan still vaguely noticed the difference in other people's attitudes towards him.
Not only other patients, but also the nurses, doctors, and even the cleaning staff and chefs in the nursing home seemed to be very kind to Yu Nu.
Yu Nu nodded, lowered her head and looked at the snacks that the chef had secretly brought to her on the way.
"Three times is a good thing. You have had three physical conflicts with other comrades this week," the head nurse looked at Qin Lingqi again, and said in a serious tone, "I'll say this for the last time. If you have such a situation again this week, you should also go to the confinement room to reflect on yourself!"
Also?
Who else went to the confinement room?
Qin Lingqi nodded, as if he had listened to the head nurse's words.
The head nurse relaxed her tone a little, and then said earnestly: "You and Xiao Lao are roommates, and you know Xiao Lao's situation best. As a brother older than him, you should set a good example and not think about fighting all day long..."
"If other comrades bully you or target you, you can report to me in time, and don't use force to solve the problem."
The head nurse stared at Qin Lingqi, "Did you hear me?"
Qin Lingqi nodded again.
The head nurse was satisfied, pushed the chair away and stood up. When she passed Yu Lao, she saw the mung bean cake in his hand and paused.
Yu Lao's hand trembled, thinking that some NPC restriction had been triggered, and she was so scared that she dared not move.
"Did the chef give it to you again?" The head nurse touched Yu's head with a smile, "Eat less, be careful of tooth decay."
Then she left.
After the head nurse left, Qin Lingqi first looked at the corridor, and then closed the office door after seeing that no one was passing by.
Yu wiped the sweat from her forehead, "You, you didn't do it on purpose?"
Deliberately conflicted with other patients, and then contacted the head nurse.
Qin Lingqi nodded, "Did you see the sign hanging on the gate just now? This is Qiushan Nursing Home."
"It should be because we didn't choose the murderer in the vote just now, so we started to perform the next plot."
Yu Nu shook her head, "So are we going to find other people now?"
Qin Lingqi didn't nod, "You and I are teammates, and currently only the two of us have independent clues. It's the same whether we find them or not, and it will only cause more trouble."
"First figure out our identities in Qiushan Nursing Home, and then..."
After a pause, Qin Lingqi looked directly at Yu Nu and said, "Then, I want to go to the confinement room to see who has made a mistake this week and has been locked up."
