Inside the room, Yin Qiu was still in shock.
Smelling the bloody odor at the tip of his nose, Xiao Jin frowned slightly.
"Are you planning to bleed to death? Then I'd rather not try to save you."
The clear voice brought Yin Qiu back to her senses and pulled her out of the bizarre scene she had just witnessed.
She blinked before she could see who was in front of her.
"Thank you..." Yin Qiu's breath hitched, her lips trembling slightly.
Seeing this, Xiao Jin turned and left: "Hurry up and treat your wound, it's almost midnight. Just a reminder, remember the guesthouse rules."
Xiao Jin then went out.
Yin Qiu, who was behind, tried to calm herself down. As soon as she moved, a sharp pain rushed to her brain.
"Ouch~" She then remembered that her leg was injured.
She looked shocked and quickly took out her recovery item.
The man was right; she needed to regain her mobility as soon as possible, as things would only get more dangerous after midnight.
If she drags her injured leg, she'll become an easy target.
While tending to her wounds, Yin Qiu suddenly pictured Xiao Jin holding her in her arms. Her hands paused slightly, and a complex emotion welled up on her face.
Although her consciousness was somewhat hazy at the time, Yin Qiu felt inexplicably at ease when the other person picked her up.
Yin Qiu remembered that person; she wore a mask and seemed mysterious. Her companions called her 'Shadow'.
When Ying came out, she wasn't wearing a mask, and I could vaguely make out her appearance.
...It looks great.
Yin Qiu slowly lowered her head.
She wasn't good at describing people, but she knew that among all the people she had met over the years, no one could compare to Ying.
Even the most popular celebrities on Earth with huge fan bases are the same.
And most importantly.
Few players would be so kind. Usually, when faced with danger, let alone coming out to rescue someone, even if they did, they would only be hoping to reap the benefits.
Ouch!
As she was thinking, Yin Qiu's hand twisted slightly, and she used too much force, almost causing further injury.
"Speaking of which, she just reminded me to pay attention to the rules of the guesthouse..." Holding the gauze, Yin Qiu recalled what had just happened.
A moment later she suddenly looked up: "I understand."
"The faces and laughter on the walls didn't actually cause any harm; they were just there to get me out of the room so I could break into the e-sports room."
Once you get here, everything becomes clear.
Yin Qiu felt that what she was experiencing was not a ghost wall, but a ghost blinding her.
………………
After leaving Yin Qiu's room, Xiao Jin did not return to her own room, but instead went downstairs to wait in the hall.
Before leaving, Xiao Jin paused, and when she turned around, she noticed that the door to the e-sports room had been quietly opened a crack at some point.
A faint red light flashed through the gap.
It was 11:30 in a flash. Luo Bin yawned and came downstairs last. The others were already sitting on the sofa.
"It's so noisy, can you hear me?" He plopped down and took the bottled water that Cui Mingyang handed him.
"No, there's nothing unusual on the first floor. Xiaolu and I slept soundly." Cui Mingyang smiled. "Did something happen on your end?"
Xu Qing leaned back on the sofa cushion: "The second floor is normal. Judging from the sound, it should be the third floor. It's probably an e-sports room!"
The rules are clearly written; he can guess them at a glance.
Everyone turned to look at Xiao Jin and Yin Qiu.
Yin Qiu's mood had improved a lot by now, and at first glance there seemed to be no problem, but that was on the premise that one could ignore the marks on her pants.
Everyone wears the same clothes in the game. Yin Qiu's pants were stained with blood, so she took them to the bathroom to wash them, and they're still wet.
Upon hearing Xu Qing's words, Yin Qiu stiffened. She secretly glanced at Xiao Jin, but quickly looked away upon seeing her expression.
Most of the people present were shrewd and could not hide her little tricks.
Xu Qing raised an eyebrow, and Cui Mingyang also looked surprised. It seemed that things were quite lively on the third floor just now! Something interesting had happened.
Xiao Jin glanced at the group of people indifferently.
They're all so idle, all they do is gossip!
“Yes, it’s an e-sports room.” Xiao Jin said concisely, without mentioning what had happened between her and Yin Qiu, and went straight to the point.
“It’s best to follow the rules,” she said. “Rules restrict residents, and to some extent, they also restrict vengeful spirits.”
Just like the face Yin Qiu had encountered before.
If she hadn't left and had stayed in the room, the rules of the e-sports room would never have been broken, and the vengeful ghost wouldn't have been able to harm Yin Qiu.
The others understood immediately.
"Okay, got it."
At this moment, Cui Mingyang asked, "By the way, did you find any crosses in the room? Xiaolu and I searched the entire first floor, but we didn't find anything."
"The cross?" Xu Qing: "The one from rule number 5?"
“Yes.” Tong Xiaolu nodded: “If there is a problem, we need to find the cross to hang on the doorknob, but the guesthouse does not provide crosses.”
Mingyang said they don't have them on this floor, and they're very likely to find them on the floors above as well.
“If that’s what you’re saying, then I really haven’t seen it.” Luo Bin tapped his knee with his index finger, then suddenly looked up.
"How about we make one by hand?" He pointed to the kitchen: "Take a chopstick, or something and tie it together, as long as it's in a cross shape, right?"
Cui Mingyang: "...You...this can barely be considered a solution. It's better to be prepared than not to be at all."
Tong Xiaolu was speechless, and even Xu Qing and Yin Qiu looked at Cui Mingyang in surprise.
Is this really necessary?
Xiao Jin had no objections, and there was still some time.
Following Luo Bin's instructions, everyone quickly sprang into action, rummaging through drawers and cabinets in the guesthouse, searching for anything they could use.
Holding a dagger, Luo Bin shaved several straight strips of wood from a wooden table, cut some sofa fabric, and began to make a cross.
However, that alone is not enough to ensure safety.
The group searched the guesthouse again, looking for every corner, with a focus on anything related to the cross.
However, they gained very little; they didn't even see a hair of a cross.
Just then, Luo Bin suddenly stopped what he was doing. "Hey, what do you guys think is in this warehouse?"
Luo Bin waved the chopsticks in his hand and winked at Xu Qing: "Want to go take a look?"
