Because there are so many ghosts on the fifth floor and the yin energy is too heavy, the temperature inside is much lower than outside.
As soon as they reached the door of the fifth floor, feeling the cold air blowing in their faces, Hui Hui frowned slightly and said in a puzzled voice: "Strange, why is it so cold? The heating is not turned on?"
The fifth floor is a dividing line. The floors below are for ordinary people, while the floors above are for the rich, powerful and influential people.
It was a fairly elegantly decorated chess and card room, with mahogany furniture all around and a few sets of black and red chess and card tables and chairs in the middle.
However, because there are too many ghosts inside, Xiang Yan cannot see the specific appearance of the chess and card tables and can only roughly see the color.
After taking a few glances at the ghosts inside, Xiang Yan walked in as if he had seen nothing.
Walking in, avoiding the ghosts scattered around, Xiang Yan stopped beside a chess and card table where many people were playing cards.
On the surface, Xiang Yan seemed to be watching them play cards seriously, but in fact his attention was focused on the corner of the chess and card table.
Sitting on the corner of this chess and card table is a strange-looking little beast.
This little beast was only as big as Xiang Yan's palm, and it looked... very strange. It looked a bit like a lion, but it had a pair of horns like a deer, and its color was also unusual, a flowing dark green.
After taking a look at this strange little beast, Xiang Yan guessed that so many ghosts on the fifth floor were attracted by it.
It seemed that Xiang Yan's gaze stayed on it for too long, and the little beast, which was originally sitting and watching people play cards, turned its head and looked in Xiang Yan's direction.
“…”
“…”
The man and the beast just stared at each other in silence.
"Mr. Xiang." The silence was finally broken by Huihui, who came over after discovering that Xiang Yan was missing.
Huihui just stayed outside the fifth floor for a while because of the strange temperature inside. When she reacted, Xiang Yan had disappeared.
Looking around, Huihui found Xiang Yan in the crowd, and then she quickly ran over.
Taking his gaze away from the little beast, Xiang Yan turned slightly to face Huihui, then nodded and responded.
"Mr. Xiang, are you also interested in chess and cards?" Huihui trotted over, then stopped beside Xiang Yan and asked with a smile.
"It's okay, I understand a little bit." Xiang Yan replied indifferently.
Xiang Yan himself doesn't know how to play these board games, he just knows a little bit about the rules. But now he is no longer Xiang Yan, a student of Yanghuai No. 3 Middle School, but a young man named Xiang Ye, so of course he can't just say that he doesn't understand.
Oh, Xiang Ye is the new name Xiang Yan gave him. After all, he couldn’t just use his original name Xiang Yan, so he chose a homonym - Xiang Ye.
Anyway, no matter what, Xiang Ye must maintain his status.
Hearing Xiang Yan's answer, Hui Hui smiled slightly and suggested: "Can I introduce you to Mr. Xiang?"
"Yeah." Xiang Yan nodded slightly, then followed Hui Hui and walked to other chess and card tables.
Seeing Xiang Yan was about to leave, the dark green little beast thought for a moment, then jumped off the chess and card table and grabbed Xiang Yan's trouser leg.
"!" Xiang Yan paused, then continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.
"Hey, human." The little beast climbed up from Xiang Yan's trouser legs, then panted and crawled into Xiang Yan's coat pocket, raised his head and looked at Xiang Yan, "I know you saw me."
Xiang Yan did not respond to Xiaoshou. He looked at the chess and card table that Huihui introduced, and nodded calmly, "Can I play a round?"
"Hey! I say..." Xiaoshou shouted in dissatisfaction, but he was stopped by Xiang Yan just as he opened his mouth.
Xiang Yan raised his hand and gently patted the head of the little beast in his pocket, touching it soothingly, and then continued to look at Huihui.
“Of course.” Huihui actively took Xiang Yan over and sat down.
Xiang Yan didn't want to play, but he just discovered that there were the most ghosts around this chess and card table, and basically most of the ghosts were around here, so he wanted to come and see what was going on.
As soon as he walked over and sat down, Xiang Yan discovered that the temperature here was lower than that of the other chess and card tables on the fifth floor. It could be said to be icy cold.
But he looked at the people around him and found that none of them had any doubts about it. They were all very normal, as if the low temperature on the fifth floor did not exist.
Even Huihui is the same.
When she first came in, Huihui felt something was wrong with the abnormal temperature inside, but after a while, she seemed to ignore the abnormal temperature around her and talked to Xiang Yan with a normal face.
"..." Xiang Yan raised his eyebrows calmly, then sat there calmly, looking at the young man sitting opposite him.
The young man was about twenty years old. For some reason, his hair was soaked with water, and occasionally drops of water dripped down.
However, because the young man was good-looking, unlike Xiang Yan's delicate and beautiful appearance, he was more of a tough and handsome type, so his dripping hair not only did not make him look messy, but instead had a peculiar charm.
Seeing Xiang Yan sitting opposite him, the young man raised his eyebrows and smiled, then pointed at the chess and cards, "Want a round?"
"Okay." Xiang Yan nodded, then shifted his attention from the young man to the chess and card table in front of him.
Although Xiang Yan doesn't know how to play, he has the system plug-in, so he can still pretend to be a veteran.
Click——
The two started the game.
“…”
“…”
Looking at the complicated chess game in front of him, Xiang Yan had a pensive expression on his face.
This kind of chess game with fixed rules is very simple for the system. After all, the system's computing power is there, and the young man in front of him can actually fight the system to a draw...
"Not bad, you can fight with Yue Chen for so long." The little beast had been silent ever since Xiang Yan touched it, and he couldn't help but speak until now when he saw Xiang Yan and their chess game.
[So his name is Yue Chen...] Xiang Yan secretly glanced at the young man opposite him, then looked around.
After the game with Yue Chen, Xiang Yan discovered something was wrong. The surroundings were... too quiet.
It seemed that after they started the game, they were separated from the noisy crowd around them, and there were only him and Yue Chen left. Oh, and Xiaoshou, too, making a total of two people and one beast.
However, Xiang Yan did not care about the changes in the surrounding environment, because he did not sense any murderous aura and the surroundings were relatively safe.
Next, Xiang Yan competed with Yue Chen for a while, and finally won Yue Chen with his system's superior computing power.
"..." Yue Chen glanced at the chess and cards, then looked up at Xiang Yan, curled his lips and smiled, then nodded to Xiang Yan, "I lost."
As Yuechen finished his words, the originally quiet environment around him became lively and noisy again, and even the originally low temperature began to warm up.
Looking up and glancing around, Xiang Yan saw that the many ghosts that had originally surrounded him were gradually dispersing. After a while, the ghosts and monsters around him had disappeared, leaving only a few people playing cards here and there. Moreover, Yue Chen, who had been sitting opposite him, disappeared at some point, too.
Hui Hui, who had been staying beside Xiang Yan, seemed to come back to her senses suddenly. She looked at the chess and card table in front of Xiang Yan in surprise, "Huh? Mr. Xiang won?"
Huihui felt that she was just distracted for a short while, and when she came to her senses, the game was over, and... taking a look at the empty seat opposite Xiang Yan, Huihui found that she seemed to not remember the appearance of the person who was playing against Xiang Yan.
"Strange... did I remember it wrong?" Huihui muttered to herself, then frowned and raised her hand to rub her forehead.
"Let's go, let's look up again." Xiang Yan chuckled, stood up and said something to Hui Hui before walking towards the door.
"Ah? Oh." Huihui responded blankly, then hurriedly caught up with Xiang Yan.
After walking out of the chess and card room on the fifth floor, Huihui originally planned to take Xiang Yan to the sixth floor, but was stopped by Xiang Yan.
"Let's go directly to the ninth floor." Xiang Yan said to Huihui.
After looking at Xiang Yan, Huihui did not refute. She agreed and took Xiang Yan to the ninth floor.
The ninth floor can be said to be a very ordinary floor in Huihui's bathing center. Apart from the independent hot spring rooms, there is nothing special about it.
Generally, people with a certain status who come here will choose to take a bath alone on the ninth floor, and then go to other floors to relax and have fun.
Therefore, Huihui did not feel strange about Xiang Yan's idea of going directly to the ninth floor. Instead, she felt that this was normal compared to her previous inexplicable visit to the floors below.
Huihui was actively leading the way for Xiang Yan in front, while Xiang Yan behind her reached into one of his pockets and touched the bronze token inside.
After Yue Chen left, Xiang Yan felt a bronze token half the size of his palm appear in his hand.
After touching the token, information about the bronze token appeared in Xiang Yan's mind.
Also because of the existence of the bronze token, Xiang Yan directly skipped the sixth, seventh, and eighth floors and went straight to the ninth floor.
The token told him that the entrance to hell was on the ninth floor!
"I say, why are you looking for the entrance to hell?" The little beast that had been in Xiang Yan's other pocket asked curiously, "Except for the ghost messenger, the entrance to hell doesn't seem to be of any use to anyone else, right?"
When he saw Xiang Yan accept the bronze token and go to the ninth floor, Xiaoshou understood that Xiang Yan came here to find the entrance to hell, but he was still a little curious about why Xiang Yan was looking for the entrance to hell.
"Reason?" Xiang Yan lowered his head slightly to glance at the little beast, chuckled, shook his head slightly, and did not continue speaking.
