apartment
Before entering the infinite flow game, He Lizhou was an ordinary college student. He had just graduated and took over his family's hotel. Due to its remote location, business was not good and he was often the only one looking after the store.
That day he was lying on his back on a rattan chair in the hotel as usual, swaying slowly and about to fall into a light sleep.
At this moment, He Lizhou heard a strange sound, similar to the sound of electricity, but extremely loud, almost shaking the hotel down.
He Lizhou immediately stood up to take a look, but as soon as his feet touched the ground, he felt dizzy.
When he opened his eyes again, what he saw was no longer the scene outside the hotel, but a completely unfamiliar place.
He Lizhou stood by the window, pushed it open and looked out, what came into view was a sea of stars.
But if you look closely, you can find the difference between this galaxy. Unlike ordinary galaxies, this galaxy is particularly straight, as if it was drawn, but not as bright and shocking as a normal galaxy.
He Lizhou looked down and saw that the hotel seemed to be suspended in mid-air. He thought about it and was about to go out to find out what was going on, but he heard a strange electronic sound.
It was intermittent, rigid and stiff, as if a machine was being debugged. Finally, with a "click", the proofreading was correct and the sound became smooth.
"Coordinates (231, 832) have been recorded in the system, renumbered to 3753, and the person in charge is being assigned... System error, testing in progress, testing completed, traces of living creatures in building number 3753, priority system allocation, system withdrawal in progress, withdrawal successful."
After hearing this, He Lizhou realized that this number meant that his hotel had been incorporated into the hotel, and the living creature in the building naturally referred to him.
He Lizhou pushed the door open and walked out, holding onto the door frame just in case, but his feet ended up stepping on solid ground.
When I opened my eyes, the galaxy had turned into the scene near the hotel.
He Lizhou blinked, tried to move his mind, and saw that the scene outside had changed again.
So this is what the person in charge meant.
He Lizhou still didn't understand what this place was, so he tried to leave the hotel and go to other places to see if there were any similar buildings.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't leave the vicinity of the hotel.
Does the person in charge have to stay in the hotel?
Thinking this, He Lizhou closed the door of the hotel and walked back to the rattan chair.
Just as he was about to lie down, a pair of bloody daggers fell from the sky. He Lizhou was so frightened that he almost jumped up. When he looked closely, he realized that these daggers were not from his hotel, nor were they decorations. The blades were bleeding.
He Lizhou raised his head and looked around. This was really dangerous. If he had been a step later, the dagger would not have fallen on the ground, but on his head.
He Lizhou bent down to pick up the pair of daggers, carefully examined them, and turned them twice. "They are quite sharp."
He wiped the blood off the dagger, thinking that it might have belonged to a guest, so he put it away carefully in the cabinet at the front desk. Just as he put it down, the familiar announcement voice rang in his ears again.
"Person in charge of No. 3753, obtain a pair of communication daggers."
Just like the games some guests are playing, get props.
He Lizhou walked around the rooms of the hotel and found that his hotel had changed a lot.
Although it was not luxurious before, it was at least decorated with great care. However, after entering this damn place, he found that all the original decorations were in disrepair and were simply uninhabitable. His own room was the only room left in the entire hotel that remained in its original state.
He Lizhou lay back on the rattan chair. Three months of decoration work were all wasted in one day.
Later, He Lizhou gradually discovered the special features of this place, and understood how to enter the dungeon and pass the levels. He slowly brought out some people who had been sheltered in the inn, and also figured out the rules of the system.
But even so, he still didn't understand what his identity was in the infinite flow game. He was neither a player in the dungeon nor an NPC in the dungeon. Sometimes, even the system would ignore his existence.
If I have to force an explanation, I am probably tied to the hotel, so I am number 3753?
He Lizhou closed his eyes and thought for a while. He had developed this habit. When he had free time, he would think about the system, the game, the dungeon, and the players.
Before he could figure out what was going on, Sheng Ju came over and asked, "Boss Zhou Zhou, which instance are you taking Sister Ning Yu to next week?"
He Lizhou said with a smile: "How can I choose this?"
Sheng Ju lay aside, "Don't bluff me, I know you can choose the dungeon, but I can't bring players in with you."
He Lizhou propped himself up and rubbed Sheng Ju's furry head. "You also said that I can't bring the players with me, and you still ask me this question?"
"I want to cheat you."
Sheng Ju was honest, and he might have something to ask of him, "Will you take me with you? I haven't entered a dungeon in three months. This time I am forced to not enter because of the system."
He Lizhou was still a little hesitant. He originally wanted to take Peng Ningyu with him and teach him carefully, but if Sheng Ju was added, he would be worried because of his erratic temper and who knows what kind of trouble might happen. He had to keep an eye on him.
Sheng Ju was an expert at observing people's words and expressions, and he immediately made sure that he would behave himself in the new dungeon and would not run around, touch things, or do anything unnoticed.
He Lizhou couldn't stand him nagging him, so he sent him to work on Peng Ningyu. Before leaving, Sheng Ju looked at He Lizhou with a rather resentful look, hoping to win back He Lizhou's conscience.
Unfortunately, He Lizhou was hard-hearted and just closed his eyes and pretended not to see it.
Peng Ningyu naturally couldn't withstand Sheng Ju's various tricks, so she agreed reluctantly, and was immediately reported to He Lizhou by Sheng Ju.
He Lizhou had anticipated this result. "Well, you two should prepare well. We don't know what the next dungeon will be like, but Sheng Ju has been to many dungeons before. The system will probably adjust the difficulty of the dungeon accordingly. Ningyu, you must be prepared to enter a difficult dungeon."
After saying that, he remembered something and added, "Ningyu, I have put you on the employee list. You can come and go freely in the hotel. If you encounter any emergencies in the dungeon, you can hide in the hotel at any time. But I suggest that you should not rely on the hotel. If you stay too long, you will be swallowed up by the hotel's rules."
Peng Ningyu nodded. Since she had decided to study with He Lizhou, she would naturally not use the hotel as a talisman to use at any time. Regarding this point, the people in the hotel were very unanimous. They regarded the hotel as their last trump card and would never rely on it blindly.
Sheng Ju knew that his joining had indeed brought some trouble to Peng Ningyu, so he called Peng Ningyu to his room, "Sister Ningyu, I will pick out some props for you to use for self-defense."
Peng Ningyu nodded generously. As the hotel manager, He Lizhou nodded with satisfaction. Only when the employees are united and harmonious can the hotel grow and develop!
…
"Congratulations to all players for entering the dungeon "Apartment". Please listen carefully to the background story below."
"This apartment was once located in the most prosperous city center. Later, it was demolished for road construction, but the residents refused to cooperate. After the road was repaired, more and more strange things happened in the apartment. Some people even complained that the security was very poor. Men in black followed single residents into the apartment. People gradually moved out of the apartment. Until now, only a few residents have insisted on staying here..."
"The following is a player mission: Please survive in the apartment for seven days. Please make sure you are in good health during the mission."
"Well, good luck to you all."
The system broadcast has ended, but He Lizhou is still alone in the apartment room. It is quiet all around, without a sound. The sun is shining brightly, but it feels like the dead of night. It is so quiet that even daily sounds do not exist, and the only sound he can hear is his own breathing.
In such an extremely quiet environment, it is difficult to remain calm, and it is inevitable that people will feel fear.
He Lizhou walked around the house and couldn't tell the original tenant's situation. There were both men's and women's supplies, but the house was a single-person apartment and could only accommodate one person.
He Lizhou had no choice but to give up and turned to walk to the window.
Outside the window, I saw a long, straight, narrow path that rushed straight into the house. On both sides of the path were planted green trees, which were also thin and straight. At first glance, they were all long, straight lines.
He Lizhou subconsciously felt uncomfortable. He looked around and saw a mirror right opposite the window, but it was a concave mirror.
He Lizhou touched the mirror. The mirror was concave on all sides, with a layer of dust accumulated inside. His fingertips were also covered with a thin layer of dust. After he blew it off, he took off the mirror and threw it into the cabinet.
He was not worried about Peng Ningyu on this point. In the week before entering the copy, they took turns to tutor Peng Ningyu on various folk legends, which was obviously a "road evil".
As long as Peng Ningyu didn't confuse concave mirrors and convex mirrors, this would not be difficult for her.
He Lizhou walked around the room again, but couldn't find anything, so he went out to look for Peng Ningyu. The moment he gripped the doorknob, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
He knew where the discomfort that had been accompanying him since entering the dungeon came from.
Sheng Ju didn't come over.
According to his usual self, Sheng Ju would not wait until now. He would come over to pester He Lizhou the moment he entered the copy.
He Lizhou immediately let go of the door handle. Since this was a smart door lock, he reached into his pocket for his phone and found the door lock APP.
When he clicked on the surveillance camera at the door, He Lizhou could see clearly that there was a tall man standing in the shadows outside the door with his head down. If he didn't look carefully, he would never be able to find him.
He Lizhou was just about to take a closer look at the man's face, but he found that the man turned around and left in a hurry. He wondered if he had discovered something.
Fortunately, the man did not look up and grin at the camera.
He Lizhou was somewhat relieved, otherwise Peng Ningyu would have been scared.
It had been a long time since the man left, but He Lizhou was still a little dazed. This start was indeed something he had never experienced before, and he didn't know how to react for a moment.
Since the system did not allow time for them to recognize each other's identities before the announcement, this copy might be a single-player copy.
He Lizhou thought about the task given by the system, which was to "survive for seven days", and had roughly guessed the difficulty of this copy.
If it is not a very difficult dungeon, there will not be only one survival mission, and even no side missions will be released. This can only mean that in this dungeon, survival is the top priority.
He Lizhou sighed. It was said that single-player copies were very rare, but the three of them happened to encounter one.
This time he and Sheng Ju had tricked Peng Ningyu. He Lizhou could only hope that Peng Ningyu would be more alert and save his life. Everything else was not important and could be postponed.
