Chapter 18 Hot Spring Bath (6)
=========
Soon, a system notification that a player had failed to escape and was eliminated was sent to everyone’s app.
Yi Han took out his mobile phone from the waterproof bag and looked at it. His expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were looking solemnly at some of his teammates.
Although these teammates - let's assume they are all "humans" - did not enter this hot spring dungeon voluntarily, they have all passed at least two normal difficulty levels of the same level. They should have encountered the mandatory tasks long ago, so they should know that no matter how scared they are, they should not leave the pool.
It's fine if a 5-year-old child can't stand it, but an adult woman is so irrational. The 10 minutes were almost up, and she could pass the level if she just held on a little longer, but she died at the last minute. It's really not worth it.
Now that he thinks about it carefully, Yi Han actually believes that the appearance of this first victim is inseparable from the malicious instigation of some teammates.
Just now, when the mission was going on, although everyone was panicking, they actually managed to keep their composure at first. Until some people started to create chaos, clamoring to get out of the pool because it was dangerous, and seeing that everyone was still under control, they threatened that the water would flow into people's mouths and nostrils.
Others didn't hear such obvious words that disturbed the morale of the army, but Yi Han could hear it. However, in that situation, even if the child's father spoke out to stop it, it would probably not have much effect.
The final result was this: the person who had shouted the loudest at the beginning never really left the pool. Instead, the teammates who were timid and mentally unstable were provoked to the point of losing their minds.
Yi Han shook his head and sighed, secretly remembered the two suspects, and then left the hall of the indoor hot spring area alone.
He has already completed the exploration points here and obtained the recipes. It is time to go to the remaining areas to earn points.
But before that...
Yi Han looked at the situation in all directions of the corridor and saw that the dining area was still pitch black, so he turned and went directly to the outdoor hot spring area. With the help of the outdoor lights on the roadside, he found a small pavilion close to the entrance and sat down.
…Then take out the iron pan, put in the ingredients, and wait for the dish to be served.
The remaining areas of this game include the outdoor hot spring area and the water park area, and the number of enemies is conservatively estimated to be 5 - the steel-headed female ghost who was just captured was rescued by her companions shortly after the mandatory mission began.
Time is tight and the task is heavy, Yi Han decided to put on the buff first.
This time he made two dishes: "Honey Chicken Legs" and "Fresh Scallops and Scrambled Eggs".
It only takes 2 minutes to wait and they come out of the pot with fragrance.
Needless to say, the honey chicken drumsticks are golden in color, tender and juicy. Even without mentioning the tangy meaty aroma, the appearance alone can make people hungry. And the scallop scrambled eggs that I just got the recipe for today are not bad either. The soft scallop meat and tender scrambled eggs are mixed together, which looks bouncy and soft, and smells fresh and fragrant.
The two dishes were placed on delicate small plates, accompanied by chopsticks and a small bowl of rice. Yi Han was not very hungry to begin with, but now he felt his stomach was empty just by looking at them.
The winter night wind is a bit chilly. I don't know if it is to let players experience the outdoor hot spring in the snow, but the environment setting of this level is actually the winter in the north.
Even though he took a thick bathrobe from the door and put it on before walking out of the corridor, Yi Han still felt cold in his body and heart as he sat in the small pavilion in the snow, eating steaming hot food under the warm yellow night light.
Since entering this game, he can say that everything has gone smoothly. Today was the first time he saw a teammate die in front of him.
It's hard to describe what he felt... maybe a little regretful, or maybe a little sad. But now the level hasn't been completed yet, so this feeling only stayed in his heart for a meal.
After finishing the meal, Yi Han had only one thought in his mind - he must work harder to accumulate points and become stronger.
He put away the tableware and stood up from the pavilion.
He was the only one in the huge outdoor hot spring area, with no teammates following him. They were probably all scared out of their wits and were ready to stay in the hot spring hall until the end.
But...if Yi Han guessed correctly, among those 6 people, there are probably at least 2 "ghost" players.
It is still unknown how many people can get out alive after living with ghosts without knowing it until 24:00. Yi Han knew that they would still be in danger, but before leaving the crowd, he hesitated for a moment and finally did not remind them - it was not that he felt that the lives of others did not matter, but even he himself could not be completely sure how many of the six people were real "human" players. Even if it was the dead woman, if she was said to be an acting school among the ghosts, it was not impossible that this move was just to create panic. If you speak rashly when the situation is still unclear, humans will begin to doubt each other, and the ghosts will certainly not admit it, and in the end there is a high probability that the spearhead will be pointed at yourself. This kind of thankless task, Yi Han would not do it when he was a teenager, and he did not want to spend precious time explaining such things.
Smart teammates don't need his reminders, but stupid teammates, even if they are rescued this time, will not live long later. In this real escape game, if you want to survive, you must rely on yourself.
Yi Han took the pot and walked out of the pavilion, finally stepping onto the path in the outdoor hot spring area.
The gravel road was a little rough on the feet. On the roadside were open-air hot spring pools, emitting swaying hot air under the lights of the winter night.
There was no one around, and it was quiet. There were no insects chirping as in the normal world, and the only sounds one could hear were the breeze and the sound of flowing water.
The path went around the area, and after Yi Han walked around it, he returned to the starting point.
I had already explored the area and found nothing special, so I was about to go back to the indoor corridor. But as soon as I turned around, I stopped.
——Originally there should have been a fork in the road, but now there was only a small path. The gravel road twisted and turned, still leading to the direction he had just walked.
"...A ghost wall?"
The place where he was standing now was next to the pavilion where he had eaten before.
However, the path that should have led back to the corridor on the other side of it was gone. Now there was only pine wood and a wall behind the pavilion. The lights nearby seemed to be swallowed up by the abnormal space, and the shadows of the trees and the pavilion swayed slightly in the breeze, making them dim.
As expected... he intentionally stayed alone for so long, and those three super vengeful little devils finally attacked him again.
Yi Han had planned this in advance, so he was not surprised and was just concentrating on thinking of a way to crack it.
In fact, the three of them didn't have anything special when they were at the novice level... but now, after unremitting efforts, they all have their own special abilities.
For example, the male ghost, once you get his water on you, you will be entangled by something that is either an illusion or an invisible stream of water. Now it seems to only frighten people, but when the time limit is approaching, it may be able to cause substantial damage. This ability is perfect for this level full of water. He must have chosen it specifically to seek revenge on Yi Han.
The slow-witted ghost he had captured before had her steel head strengthened... She must have been traumatized by Yi Han's beating at the novice level. And her sister in the toilet cubicle was most likely the creator of the soul-enchanting drink, and had the power to confuse people's minds - the ghost wall must have been her doing.
However, even if we know who is the mastermind behind the scenes, we also know that what we see now is probably not a real scene, and it is difficult for ordinary people to break the deadlock.
How can one find the true path when all five senses are deceived?
Yi Han sighed.
"I didn't want this to happen..."
Before entering this game, Yi Han clearly didn't think he had a particularly violent tendency... He was just good at fighting, and he was invincible in beating up school bullies and bad neighbors. He would take revenge when he had a grudge, and he would stick to the facts. He had never said anything like blowing up someone's house over a disagreement.
But who would have thought, ever since he entered this game, Yi Han always felt that he was demolishing buildings, smashing walls and destroying people's yards in every level.
The green environment of this outdoor hot spring area is really beautiful. This time, even Yi Han himself felt a little reluctant to do it...
"Why don't you just come out by yourselves. I'm not afraid of the debuff of women's clothing, but I don't know how much repair costs you will have to share after demolishing this place." Yi Han said calmly.

The light flickered in the breeze, and the shadows of the trees on the ground moved slightly, slowly forming a question mark...
