"This guest..."
The receptionist twisted her long neck and moved toward him.
"Huh? You can see me too?!"
Su Bai was extremely surprised.
The Forgotten Mask not only helped him fool the gatekeeper, but even the Demon Flower didn't sense his intrusion.
Unexpected.
This ability still had no effect on the receptionist.
He immediately took out the Flower Guard badge and put it on his chest, which greatly diminished the receptionist's aggressive attitude.
"It's you..."
She brought her pale, lifeless face close to Su Bai's face and examined her carefully for a while.
"Why are you here again...? After you left last time, Butler Jains came to see me very quickly, saying that a thief had broken into Building Two..."
The receptionist looked at Su Bai with a resentful expression.
"It definitely can't be me!"
Su Bai immediately replied.
"I know..." the receptionist said sullenly, "but you should at least fulfill your duty as a guard and patrol properly, otherwise everyone will come to me if there's any trouble..."
Su Bai ignored her and walked towards the key respawn point behind him.
"Huh?"
His eyes lit up.
This time, a special key actually appeared at the refresh point.
[Obtained: Key to Room 31!]
...
"That's what Mrs. Xiu Rui left here. She went on a long trip and won't be back for a long time. She asked me to find someone to clean the room for her."
The receptionist, now in her talkative mode, came over.
“You stay here all day and you don’t even see a ghost. Let me do this kind of hard and tiring work for you.”
Su Bai found a plausible excuse without even blinking.
"...Alright."
The receptionist was very easy to talk to, especially her own people.
"But you have to be careful. Miss Phoenix's temper has been very unstable lately. Don't disturb her when you go to clean."
She kindly offered her advice.
Phoenix...
Oh, right.
He was the person mentioned in the notebook he found last time.
It's most likely some troublesome monster.
This Miss Phoenix is likely also connected to some hidden quest.
He has already obtained some clues.
I will be careful.
Su Bai nodded.
He wasn't planning to go to room 32 this time; he'd do it later. Anyway, no one else in the wealthy area could get in right now except for him.
then.
Su Bai searched the lockers again.
I had searched before, but this time the results were mediocre, with only some materials and two pieces of green equipment with barely acceptable stats.
Say goodbye to the incessantly chattering receptionist.
Su Bai headed straight for Building 2.
Apart from the reception room, as long as he wears the Mask of Oblivion, he can move about as if he were in an empty place, and he can walk right past the patrolling guards without being noticed.
The location of the two buildings has been determined.
Su Bai arrived at the door of room 16 with practiced ease.
Just as he was about to open the door, he suddenly stopped.
I turned my head to look.
The door to room 15 was ajar, but the mysterious person inside had vanished.
"Did you go out temporarily? Or...?"
Su Bai hesitated for two seconds before pushing open the door to room number 15 and walking in.
Upon entering.
Instantly.
The stench was overwhelming.
A man, a woman, and a child—three corpses lay on the expensive carpet in the middle of the living room, their expressions terrified, as if they had suffered immense fear before their deaths.
Their chests were cut open, exposing their blackened organs to the air, where swarms of flies and maggots crawled around, a truly disgusting sight.
"These people... seem to be the owners of room number 15."
Su Bai covered his nose and quickly made a judgment based on his clothing.
All three were dressed in casual home clothes.
If it were an outsider, they wouldn't dress so casually.
and.
The family of three died a neat and orderly death.
"So, the guy who was hiding in room 15 was actually an outsider who killed the homeowner."
"I should have just killed it outright..."
Su Bai looked around.
so,
Where has it gone now?
Ignoring the corpses on the ground, Su Bai went straight into the bedroom, searching for the monster while also ransacking the safe and wardrobe.
I received some gold coins, Lost City banknotes, and a few outfits.
The results were decent.
Speaking of which, we haven't collected today's revenue from the world shop yet, and I wonder how those fashion items sold...
Leave the room.
Su Bai took out the key and opened the door to room number 16.
Ugh!
The moment the light swept towards him, a faint glow appeared on Su Bai's body, as if a barrier had been erected to shield him from certain unknown influences.
[Note: The title is now active!]
...
It's the title he earned last time for clearing room 16: 'The One Who Faces Fear'.
This title can raise his mental threshold and protect him from fear.
To put it bluntly...
Originally, he was supposed to stay in room 16, and if he stayed there for more than five minutes, the terror would materialize and descend.
This effect will now last for some time.
But it won't be too long.
It takes about a minute.
However, the effect of this title only works in room 16; its presence is practically nonexistent at other times.
Vision quickly became clear.
Su Bai glanced at him.
The layout of the living room was basically the same as when I came in last time, except that there was a pool of blood on the floor. The bloodstain trailed along the floor and eventually disappeared in front of the closed bathroom door.
