Chapter 14 Hot Spring Bath (2)
=========
The shower room, which was originally just for tourists to wash their bodies before entering the hot spring pool, was turned into a Northeastern bathhouse filled with laughter by a few unreliable players... They suddenly got the opportunity to take a bath under the supervision of the stingy system and were as happy as two fools.
Yi Han politely declined the two fools' enthusiastic invitation to rub his back, took a quick shower, and returned to the changing room, changed into his swimming trunks, and prepared to search the next area to get his recipe and exploration level.
Coming out of the men's bathroom door is a spacious corridor. Walking to the left is the dining area, which seems to be the most likely place where the recipes are hidden.
There was no movement in the women's bathroom just across the door. Maybe the girls would take a little longer to shower... Thinking of this, Yi Han walked in alone, ready to search the place thoroughly while no one was there.
As soon as I walked in, I saw four women who had changed into swimsuits and whose hair was still wet, sitting around a table, chatting and eating. The table was filled with sliced pizza, pasta, seafood, steamed dumplings, fruits, snacks...
"You're here! The food here is delicious, come and eat with us!"
"There are just as many varieties as in the system mall! And they taste delicious too!"
"Yes! The most important thing is that it doesn't cost any money! The system is really stingy. This time I can finally enjoy a good meal!"
When they saw Yi Han coming in, they immediately greeted him happily with a cheerful tone, and it was obvious that they were in a very happy mood.
The food in the dining area was buffet style, with all kinds of food available, but they just took a lot to eat... Yi Han couldn't help but wonder, so he asked, "...Aren't you afraid that there's something wrong with the food?"
"…Is there a problem?" Several women were stunned.
Isn’t it common sense that you can’t eat anything in an escape game?
Who would have thought that after looking at each other for a few times, none of the girls showed any sudden realization or regret on their faces. Instead, they said cautiously: "Um... didn't you use the admission ticket to get in?"
"...Admission ticket?" Yi Han was stunned.
Seeing that he really didn't know, one of the girls took out a card from her system and handed it to Yi Han.
[Hot spring bath (one-star difficulty) double ticket]
【Quality: Grade C】
[Status: Used]
[Instructions: Players holding this ticket will be forced to lock in the one-star difficult mode level - hot spring baths in the next level draw. No need to bother looking for an escape route, you can leave the level by yourself after 24 hours, and you can concentrate on enjoying the food, hot springs, and water playgrounds throughout the whole process... Although you may still die in the level due to an accident, it is worth it to get such a free hot spring bathing opportunity in the thrilling and exciting level-breaking process. ]
“…I spent 50 points to win this in the lottery. I thought it was a good thing at first glance, but I was forced to enter a difficult mode dungeon. Fortunately, it feels pretty good after entering! The food and hot springs are so tempting!”
"Yeah, I also won it in a lottery. I heard that I had to enter a difficult dungeon, and I almost couldn't find my duo teammates. Woohoo, but I really want to soak in the hot springs. I'm willing to take risks for the hot springs!"
"Me too... Although the hot spring is great... But this is a difficult dungeon! You could die in the middle of it. If I hadn't drawn this ticket, I would definitely never enter a difficult dungeon in my life."
"Who isn't? Haha, I think everyone is like this. No one would proactively match themselves with a difficult level to get bullied without getting a ticket, right?"
The girls chatted and laughed until the end, and then they suddenly remembered that Yi Han, who took the initiative to match with them, was still standing next to them...
Girls: …
Yi Han: ...
…Well, now the mystery is solved.
Therefore, the other seven people except him were not high-end players who actively turned on the difficult mode. Instead, they were thrown into this difficult copy for sightseeing and vacation unwillingly because of their bad luck... and as long as they were careful not to be killed by ghosts in the level, they could be teleported away directly after 24 o'clock. Only Yi Han needed to find a way to survive and the key.
The admiring look in the hall was not about admiring him for daring to queue alone. Rather, it was about admiring him for being a strong single man who didn't even have a good friend to queue with and use the ticket together even after going through so many levels...
Yi Han speechlessly returned the ticket to the person, politely declined the enthusiastic invitation of "There's no problem with the food in this level, come and eat together", and continued his exploration alone.
In fact, he had originally made up his mind to get the first place in contribution, and these Buddhist teammates obviously would not compete with him for contribution. Therefore, knowing this cruel truth did not affect his subsequent behavior. On the contrary, because there was less competition, he relaxed a lot... which was good...
So, amid the chatter of the four women, Yi Han was like a ruthless recipe-finding machine, searching every possible hiding corner.
Unfortunately, even after searching every corner, I still couldn't find any trace of the recipe.
The women had just finished eating, so they said hello and went to the hot spring area with their drinks. Then the men who had just finished their showers came in and each took a bottle of iced beer.
Yi Han couldn't find anything, and he had already obtained the exploration points, so he prepared to go out.
When I was leaving, I suddenly saw a refrigerator by the gate that all my teammates had opened once.
It seemed that the last teammate who took the beer forgot to close the door, so the door was ajar, leaving a gap. A layer of light mist condensed on the glass, and a few water droplets flowed down crookedly. Yi Han glanced at it casually and suddenly frowned.
...I always feel like there's something bad going on.
Since entering this game and facing dangers and ghosts many times, Yi Han seems to have gradually developed a strange intuition.
Although he didn't know why he felt a certain reflex to reject it, Yi Han still reached out and closed it.
Sure enough, the strange feeling of disharmony faded. But because of the contact with the glass cabinet door, Yi Han's hands were stained with a lot of water droplets, and suddenly became wet.
"...Wait, the temperature on the inner side of the glass door of the refrigerator is lower, and condensation will occur when it comes into contact with the warm outside air...but I touched the outer glass door, why is there water?" Yi Han's face froze, he looked down at his wet hands, and immediately quickly left the strange cabinet.
Unexpectedly, just when I walked not far from the door of the dining area, I heard a "bang", the hall suddenly became dark, and all the light bulbs in the hall exploded in an instant.
Yi Han did not stop and quickly approached the only light source in the room - the open door.
There seemed to be a sound of water dripping beside me, and my palms, which had just been wet, felt something strange, as if something was slowly unfolding in the water stain, along my wrist, and slowly moving upwards.
Yi Han didn't care for the moment and rushed to the door immediately.
But a figure wearing a sauna suit suddenly jumped out and reached out to close the door for him.
Yi Han reacted quickly, took out the pot and stuck it in the crack of the door.
With a "bang", the door was blocked by the pot before it was completely closed. It was extremely thrilling.
The strange feeling on his hand became stronger and stronger, as if the water stain had already climbed up to his forearm. However, Yi Han had no time to look. Seeing that the man outside the door could not exert any strength for the time being, he reached out his hand through the crack in the door to grab him.
The man was shocked and struggled in Yi Han's hands for a while. Seeing that he was no match for Yi Han in strength, he gave up decisively and ran away without any desire to fight.
Yi Han held on to him tightly and pulled the steam steam suit top off.
The man fled, but he didn't dare to make any sound to be recognized. In the end, Yi Han could only see his back against the light, and he couldn't see the details of his figure.
Yi Han kicked the door open and finally returned to the bright corridor.
He held a one-size-fits-all steam steam suit in his hand, and it seemed that he couldn't tell who was wearing it. He used the clothes to randomly wipe the hand that was covered with unknown liquid. Unexpectedly, there was actually nothing on his hand, as if the water flow just now was an illusion.
Yi Han glanced in the direction the man escaped.
Over there is the lobby of the indoor hot spring area.
Yi Han put away the pot, threw away his clothes, remained calm, and walked straight in.
Before I went deeper, I heard laughter coming from inside.
This area is actually a very large hall with pools of different temperatures.
Several teammates were soaking in the pool in twos and threes.
Yi Han made a rough count and found that all his seven teammates were in the pool, each with only the upper body exposed, with beer and soda placed by the pool.
Then someone saw him and waved to him enthusiastically.
It seemed that no one was the murderer who wanted to harm him just now.
