Chapter 252 Crimson Mirror
The next day, the game update was completed.
The next round of updates will not be available until a guild collects 100,000 points.
After breakfast, Xu Zhiyan collapsed on the sofa in the safe house and fiddled with his phone.
Looking at the screen, his expression gradually became solemn.
I thought that after the weird update, players wouldn't do anything big. After all, except for the backpack, the rest of the content is pretty much the same.
But when he went to refresh the guild roster, he suddenly discovered that everyone seemed to think differently than he did.
The game system has only opened up access to dungeons to the public today, so the guild system is currently ranking players based on the accumulated scores of all players in the guild.
The guild ranked first among them surprised Xu Zhiyan a little.
[Guild name: Ideal Country]
【President: Yan Chengfan】
【Vice President: Cen Jinyue】
【Remarks: None】
[Guild Construction: Backpack has been opened...]
"I understand that the number one brother on the list founded the sect, so why the vice president is also ranked so high." He murmured to himself, touching his chin.
Cen Jinyue, codenamed Moon Goddess, ranks fifth in the standings.
[It's really strange!]
The system agrees with this.
[Although according to the final reward, many wishes can be added, but in the end, whether it is possible that the power will be weakened when the wishes are evenly divided, we still don’t know.]
Therefore, to be on the safe side, some higher-ranked players should choose to form their own guild.
Xu Zhiyan meant the same thing.
But he looked around and found that not many players at the top of the list had established guilds.
He didn't understand, but that didn't stop him from noticing something was wrong.
Now many live broadcast rooms have been opened one after another. Xu Zhiyan exited the guild interface and turned to Gan Mi's live broadcast room.
Today is an even-numbered day, and Gan Mi chose to enter the game on an even-numbered day as agreed.
The man who had gone to so much trouble to arrange a meeting with him was now standing in the center of the screen with a cold expression on his face, without even a smile on his face.
Why call it a smiling tiger? Just call it a cold-faced tiger.
The system suddenly spoke.
[Host, are we going to enter the Crimson Mirror instance?]
Crimson mirror, a copy of blood existence.
The return of Dr. Bai has greatly improved the integrity of the ghosts and gods, and there are not many slices that need to be recovered.
"Don't worry, take a rest for a while."
Xu Zhiyan answered lazily.
The system has already obtained the coordinates of the blood copy, but not all players will enter this copy at once.
He planned to wait until his teammates became stronger before collecting the slice.
The ring on his left hand inexplicably turned from black to gold. Xu Zhiyan wanted to ask the gods and ghosts, but he didn't know how to start. Forget it, the next copy he was going to might not even have slices.
But before Xu Zhiyan finished eating the potato chips, the guild system refreshed something new.
[Ding! Guild mission copy appears! ]
[Some special dungeons carry special tasks and are more dangerous, so only guild members are allowed to enter in groups. 】
This message appears, with several new copy names added below.
[Special copy: Dead Sea]
[Instance star rating: ★★★★★]
[Note: To upgrade the Destiny Beach instance, it is recommended that at least 16 guild members work together to capture the BOSS alive.]
[Participating Guild: None]
【Number of participants: 0】
[Extra rewards: A-level items [quantity: 8], S-level items [quantity 1], skills [quantity 1]...]
When Xu Zhiyan saw the skills, his eyes turned red. His trembling fingers subconsciously reached out to the copy to receive them, but he was interrupted by the system screaming.
[Host, please wake up!]
Xu Zhiyan was brought back to his senses by the voice in his mind and he sighed deeply.
"Forget it, we don't seem to have enough people... Oh, this special copy actually has a note, is it equivalent to providing clues in disguise?"
All the copies in the game are one-time. Although they will be upgraded after completing them, players rarely get clues.
He didn't think the system would be so kind as to give away the clues for free.
"Bring up the content of Destiny Beach for me to see."
[Okay host... this! Oh shit!]
The system quickly retrieved the information about the Destiny Beach dungeon, and before showing it to Xu Zhiyan, he was shocked.
[There is no video footage. All the players who participated in this instance were wiped out. There are only a few clues... It seems that at the end of this instance, the players failed to successfully kill the BOSS, which caused the BOSS to go out of control.]
Xu Zhiyan was stunned and glanced at the contents on the system.
Wow, captured the out-of-control BOSS alive?
No wonder there are so many rewards...
The whole day.
The guild mission copy interface will refresh some copies with tasks from time to time. The situations are difficult or easy, and the rewards are more or less, but generally speaking, the system has additional tasks that need to be completed by players.
In the afternoon, Xu Zhiyan was looking at the account book when the system screamed in his mind.
[Host! Blood! The copy of blood is actually a special copy!]
It brought up the game panel, and at the very bottom of the guild mission copy column, a familiar name appeared.
[Special copy: Crimson Mirror]
[Instance star rating: ★★★★★]
[Note: No suggestions, this is not a player-to-player dungeon. Special mission information will be issued after receiving it. The participating guild team must be composed of at least three people.]
[Participating Guild: None]
【Number of participants: 0】
[Special requirements: Guild backpack must be opened]
[Extra Reward: All players who leave the dungeon alive can redeem new skills [choose one of three]]
"...No suggestions?"
Xu Zhiyan was a little confused.
But I have to say that the reward of one skill per person is much better than the previous situation where everyone competes for one skill, and there are also options...
Is it enough to just get out alive?
So how difficult is this copy?
But...but the reward is really...irresistible!
The safe house system was about to say that considering the difficulty, no one would accept the request, but then it saw the number of people increasing rapidly.
[Join the guild: Krypton gold changes fate, online orders, Utopia, Undead Hunter...]
[Number of participants: 16……]
As the number of guild names increased, the number of people participating in the dungeon also began to surge.
[Host! What's wrong with you? Didn't we agree not to deal with this instance for the time being?]
The system doesn't quite understand why this copy, which looks very difficult to deal with, will eventually become the choice of everyone.
After Xu Zhiyan signed up, he glanced at the growing number of people and answered calmly.
"Because of the reward, of course."
Players who are confident in forming a guild are generally at the top of the list. For them, even if a five-star dungeon gets out of control, the threat it poses will not be greater than that of players fighting against the dungeon.
This copy clearly states that it is non-confrontational, so the conflicts between players will not be too big.
If the out-of-control BOSS Yu Yan was stronger, the players might still cooperate.
"This copy looks pretty mild on the surface."
This is also the reason why Xu Zhiyan accepted it.
There is a copy of the slice, so he has some confidence. Who knows if there will be extra rewards next time he encounters this task.
The only thing that surprised him was the Utopia.
"Does the No. 1 guy on the list also need this reward... Tsk, but there are many people in their guild, so it doesn't necessarily mean he will go."
When Xu Zhiyan clicked the button, no guild had joined yet. Unexpectedly, as soon as he clicked the button, the copy was filled up. What he could think of might not be something that others could not think of.
Who doesn’t want to have one more skill?
Choose one of the three, and you will always choose the useful one.
at the same time.
Shell, in the top floor compartment of the premium lounge area.
When Cen Jinyue saw the message on the panel, she looked at the astrologer beside her in confusion.
"Alves, did you accept Gan Mi's money to work for him?"
The astrologer, who was leaning against the window and looking down, turned around after hearing this, his calm eyes without a trace of emotion.
"I have several Star Attendants who lack skills."
She accepted the guild dungeon mission almost at the same time as Xu Zhiyan, and in the teammate list, she only reported herself and six star servants.
Cen Jinyue understood instantly.
"Do you need my help? I see that the other guilds seem to be ranked pretty high."
“Once you sign up, you can’t add more people.”
The astrologer explained.
She wasn't worried about her relationship with other guilds.
Different from other mimics who kill people wantonly, the Astrologer's attack skills are mostly group attacks, and for her, those are all accidental injuries. She rarely shows behavior against certain players, but just doesn't care when attacking.
"If conditions permit, I will help Gan Mi complete the task."
Unlike Song Longchuan, who always wants to watch the Pope's show, so he doesn't interfere.
The astrologer has known Gan Mi for quite some time, and Gan Mi is quite tactful and often offers help, so she doesn't mind helping out.
Xu Zhiyan's killing of the doctor was just an accident in the eyes of the mimics.
It was reasonable for the doctor, as the auxiliary player with the weakest attack, to be killed in that situation. The third-party forces were their headache. As for Xu Zhiyan and his small guild of only a few people, they were nothing to be afraid of. No mimic had taken them seriously so far.
Seeing this, Cen Jinyue nodded and said nothing more.
He made the suggestion because after a detailed investigation, he found that the mysterious third-party organization had already begun taking actions against the mimics.
It’s just that the third-party organization had previously killed only small fry.
With the death of the Pope, most of these weaklings have also died. If the mysterious third-party force continues to target the mimics, they will definitely be the target.
…
Time flies.
In the evening, Xu Zhiyan stood in the lobby of the safe house, waiting to enter the copy.
The atmosphere in the entire hall was frighteningly depressing.
He stood side by side with the ghost and felt that the other party seemed to be more nervous than him, which made him laugh.
"Is it because of the blood?"
Xu Zhiyan turned his head to ask.
The ghost shook his head.
He was worried about Xu Zhiyan.
“Blood can come in all kinds of forms.”
He released the drop of runaway blood at that time in order to allow the rest of the blood to be affected, but so much time had passed and he was not sure what the effect would be.
"Well, if there are any special NPCs in the dungeon, I will pay attention to them. Even if they transform into cats or dogs, I can detect them."
Xu Zhiyan also knew that blood was difficult to deal with, so he was extremely alert.
Soon, it was time to enter the copy.
A door dripping with blood slowly appeared in the center of the safe house hall.
Before entering the door, Xu Zhiyan glanced at his drooping right hand. The white bones embedded on the back of his hand emitted a cold light under the light. Something was different.
"I like your gift very much."
"Christmas is over and New Year's Day will come soon. You have to think carefully about what gift to give me."
Looking back at Party A, there was a teasing look in his eyes.
The ghosts and gods were stunned for a moment.
His worries were dispelled, and He began to laugh as well.
"good."
…
The sound of the engine running echoed in my ears.
When Xu Zhiyan woke up, he found himself on a bus.
The scene outside the window kept receding, and from the faint color of the sky, it could be judged that it was afternoon when entering the copy, and it was about to transition to dusk.
The carriage was filled with a strong smell of cigarette smoke, which could be smelled even with the windows in the back row open. He felt as if he had been curled up in the last row of the bus and slept for a long time, and his whole body was extremely stiff.
[Host, you are awake! There are many tasks this time!]
The system is busy with reminders.
Sitting up shakily, Xu Zhiyan shook his head.
Different from before.
This time I woke up on a bus. The bus was not a closed area for one person. The driver was sitting in the front row.
He clicked on the copy settings that just popped up.
[Logged into the Scarlet Mirror instance]
[Instance star rating: ★★★★★]
[Players please receive basic information/copy tasks. 】
【Players please confirm the guild mission. 】
[Guild Mission: Covert Operation]
[Special mission props [click to receive]]
[Note: After receiving, the special mission props will be placed in the guild backpack. During the dungeon exploration, players need to place the items in a nearby location when the props light up green, but remember not to be discovered. ]
[Tip: If someone has placed a special item at this location, the green light will not light up. The task is considered completed only when all nine items are placed. Guild players who complete the task will have the opportunity to choose one of three skills. If they leave without completing the task, they will be rewarded with a random skill.]
Xu Zhiyan frowned and looked at the guild mission that was popped up as the highest priority, with a somewhat confused expression.
He understands both the notes and the hints.
But why not be discovered... by whom? NPCs? Can't the system control the NPCs in the dungeon?
Clicking on the guild backpack, Xu Zhiyan took a look inside.
In addition to the pile of supplies that Jiang Huai Que stuffed in, there were indeed nine strange round props, which looked like enlarged coins and felt heavy in the hands.
"What is this for?"
[Detection failed. This item now looks like stone.] The system hasn't seen anything like this for a long time, something with no power fluctuations at all.
[It needs to be put into the guild backpack before it can be put into the dungeon... It feels a bit dangerous, host, you must be careful.]
The safe house system is not optimistic about this unknown equipment without a panel.
Xu Zhiyan didn't hesitate any more.
Unlike the system he was worried about, considering that this copy was the territory of blood, the relationship between the game system and the ghost slices was always subtle. He felt that this thing was most likely harmful to the blood.
Putting down the special props, he clicked on the background introduction of the copy.
[You are a tourist from out of town. Next is the last stop of your journey - the Mirror Museum. Because your wife made a mistake, you will need to stay in the theme hotel opposite the Mirror Museum for a week. ]
[You were delayed in going to the new hotel due to an accident, so the driver is taking you alone now. He looks a little nervous, so please be careful. ]
"……wife?"
Xu Zhiyan was a little confused.
Are all players set to be couples this time, and will each player be assigned an NPC?
In an instant, he thought a lot.
Considering the guild mission, this "wife" is most likely the NPC that monitors the player, so the player must avoid her when doing the mission?
In the live broadcast room, the audience who had not watched live broadcasts for ten days were extremely enthusiastic.
[Hi, hi, hi~ On this beautiful day today, we finally met again in Xiao Baiwan's live broadcast room! Comrades, did you miss me? [狗头叼着玫瑰.jpg]]
[Get out of here, you have too many words and they are blocking my view of Little Million! ]
[Yanyan and his wife meet again! I miss you so much! I am dying after not seeing my wife for ten days! My wife is still so pretty hehe! ]
【@叉子哥, thank you for taking your CP away. 】
【Come on [fork away.jpg]】
Due to the high intensity of the game in the past few months, Xu Zhiyan's live broadcast room has gathered a group of loyal fans.
Now that I haven’t watched live broadcasts for ten days, many people feel that life is boring.
As usual, this group of noisy and enthusiastic loudspeakers talked a lot about other players who entered the dungeon in Xu Zhiyan's live broadcast room.
[Is everyone awake now? ]
[I said you can’t enter the level now. Look, look, there are so many big guys in the level where Xiao Baiwan enters. ]
[Joker + Astrologer, I think this combination is more interesting than the Pope's Iron.]
[? ? What's the point? These two are not from the same guild! ]
[The Ugly Emperor's single-target output is really high, and the Astrologer's ranking and output are not as good as his. 】
[Let's look at the pre-task first. Although the guild system has been opened, the internal communication interface cannot be opened before the meeting. ]
[Speaking of which, why did Xiao Baiwan draw his wife? I saw that the other players who woke up one after another all drew their companion NPCs.]
[Not surprising, I think the dog trainer made a mistake because the cat stepped on the keyboard, so he had an extra cat. ]
[Yes, I can have both cats and dogs at such a young age. ]
The first round of players entering the dungeon have already basically tested the contact restrictions and backpack functions, so the players are relatively clear about the current information.
Xu Zhiyan didn't care about the live broadcast room's bustle.
He was staring intently at the new task on the panel.
【Mission 1: The Forgotten Passenger】
[Progress: 2%]
[Note: You need to arrive at the theme hotel before dark, but the bus driver is in a very bad state. He seems to be afraid of something. You need to do something to calm him down.]
[Hint 1: When the driver finishes smoking his last cigarette, he will enter a crash state. You need to defeat the driver without damaging the vehicle.]
[Hint 2: This road is regulated by rules. It is forbidden to use transportation tools other than those in the original world. Vehicle props cannot be used. ]
Before Xu Zhiyan could say anything, the system cracked.
[Oh no, host! Why do we have to fight monsters right after entering the dungeon?]
[I just took a look and saw that the driver only had three cigarettes left. He smoked very hard and it took him three minutes to finish one. When he got crazy, our absolute safety time would be over!]
There was quite a bit of content in the previous missions.
It took Xu Zhiyan a lot of time just to go through the mission carefully from beginning to end after waking up, and now there is not much absolutely safe time left.
He frowned, his expression somewhat solemn.
Dealing with monsters is not difficult for players.
The difficulty of Mission 1 is to deal with the driver who will soon turn into a monster without damaging the vehicle.
The bus was shaking as it drove. There were endless fields on both sides of the road. They were the only car on the road. Now several minutes had passed and no other cars appeared.
In other words, if the current bus is scrapped, the player may not be able to reach the hotel smoothly.
It seems that to complete Task 1, the car must be stopped before the cigarette burns out, and the driver must be taken away from the area.
[Host, are we going to grab the steering wheel now?]
Xu Zhiyan ignored the worried system and looked up at the bus carefully. He could see that the bus was not very new. There was even some rust on the corners and the windows were a little dirty.
This car looks old and it shakes a lot when it starts, as if it is about to be scrapped.
Standing up, Xu Zhiyan silently looked around himself. There was no suitcase. It seemed that his luggage should have been taken away by his "wife" in advance.
He staggered to the front of the car and finally got a good look at the driver.
The driver was a slightly plump middle-aged man, about 40 or 50 years old, wearing a black driver's uniform. His fleshy face was covered with sweat, and he had a cigarette in the corner of his mouth. He stared straight ahead, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was tense.
It seemed that he was not taking the forgotten passengers in the car to the hotel, but rather going to die with his passengers.
Xu Zhiyan did not deliberately hide his footsteps when he stepped forward, and the driver seemed not to hear him and took a deep puff of his cigarette.
Cheap, low-quality cigarettes soothed his emotions.
The driver glanced at the young man approaching and said nothing.
Xu Zhiyan slowly moved to the side, neither taking action nor getting anxious, but instead talking to the driver.
"Master, how long will it take us to get to the hotel?"
The driver squeezed the steering wheel and took another long puff of his cigarette.
"It'll take another two hours."
After finishing a cigarette, the driver immediately threw the cigarette butt out of the window and took another one. At this time, there were only two cigarettes left in the cigarette box. According to the driver's smoking method, he would probably finish them all in less than six or seven minutes.
Two hours? That long?
The sky has turned yellow. It is estimated that the sun will almost completely set in two hours, and it may only be ten or twenty minutes before dark.
The use of vehicle props is prohibited in the dungeon. If the distance is not long, players may be able to run across it on foot.
A two-hour drive is really too much...
Xu Zhiyan pursed his lips, his expression unchanged, and chatted casually, as if he was really a passenger.
"I don't know what the complaint phone number is. It feels really bad to be left behind alone." He sighed, took out a bottle of water from somewhere and took two sips.
After drinking it, he took out a new bottle of mineral water and placed it next to the driver.
"Master, you must be tired after driving for so long. Have a drink of water."
"No, I'm not thirsty."
The driver glanced at the water handed to him and spoke dryly, his tone softening a little.
The system wanted to urge the host to get the driver to stop as soon as possible, but looking at the host's actions, it felt as if there was another deeper meaning.
The pace of the missions in this dungeon is very fast, and players are not given much time to explore at the beginning. The countdown-like number of cigarettes makes people inexplicably nervous.
In the live broadcast room, the audience also fell into deep thought.
[Ahhh, what is Xiao Baiwan thinking? He's still drinking water? How can he get close to the driver in just a few minutes? ]
[Others have already started to find all kinds of excuses to stop the car. I see someone is very clever and wants to exploit a bug. He goes to take the driver's cigarette and directly breaks the driver's defense and mutates in advance.]
[Oh, you guys said it was unlucky, but I think the male mother was even more unlucky. He directly pulled out a weapon and threatened the driver to stop, which scared the driver enough.]
[I saw it!! The unlucky NPC was so scared that he collapsed and stopped smoking.]
[Haha ...
[I think the clown is more awesome. He just killed the driver and drove himself, but I don’t know how to get there.]
[Fuck, awesome, I'm going to take a look at the astrologer...]
After comparing the various situations that other players were currently in, the audience began to speculate on Xu Zhiyan's next move.
[What are you laughing at? I really want to know how Xiao Baiwan is going to deal with this driver! ]
[Calm down, based on my experience of being slapped in the face, I guess Xiao Baiwan wants to use the excuse of going to the bathroom. ]
[Fuck! I vote for the above post! ]
[Me too!! This makes sense. It’s normal to ask to stop the car when you wake up from a nap and need to pee! ]
【Ooooh! Then he can lure the driver out of the car by offering to help deliver water! Although it's a bit weird to drink while peeing? Shit, what am I talking about.】
[Ahhh, there's only one cigarette left. I'm so nervous!! Xiao Baiwan hasn't said a word yet.]
[…Hmm? Wait? This?]
Following Xu Zhiyan's actions, the entire live broadcast room became much quieter.
In the center of the picture, the young man who was lazily leaning in the front and chatting with the driver seemed to be talking about something interesting. Suddenly, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, opened it and handed it to the driver.
"Master, would you like to try one? I bought it from out of town, I wonder if it suits your taste."
His voice was extremely natural, as if these cigarettes were not looted from the supermarket copy, but were really bought by him.
The driver, who had been nervous but still emotionally stable because of the conversation, turned his head slightly and took a look.
The cigarettes in the young man's hand are beautifully packaged.
Before I even smoked it, I could already smell the faint, mellow and soft tobacco flavor...
Nice! It's a good smoke!
Xu Zhiyan was very good at giving in to others' preferences. Seeing that the driver wanted to take the cigarette but didn't, he casually put the box of cigarettes aside and took out a new box and opened it.
"I think the master knows his stuff, how about trying this?"
The aroma of high-quality tobacco wafted from the cigarette box, instantly making the cheap tobacco the driver was originally smoking look like dirt.
The driver was a little impatient.
Xu Zhiyan acted as if he didn't see it and took out another box with a smile.
"Master, the journey still takes two hours. I have a lot of food in stock. We can chat while we enjoy the food..."
Pack after pack of exquisite cigarettes were opened and handed to the driver. Each one was a top-quality cigarette that he had never smoked before. The bus driver, who was originally extremely nervous, completely relaxed under the temptation of nicotine and drove faster.
Half an hour later, even the way he addressed Xu Zhiyan had changed from "you" to "Xiao Xu".
"Xiao Xu, I don't know why I accepted this order. Anyway, the Mirror Museum is a weird place. Why did you want to go there?"
"What? Your wife is going? Uh..."
"No, it's not that anyone is dead. How should I put it? It's just that something is wrong. I have only driven there to send people, and never picked anyone up from there."
"Missing news? I haven't heard of it."
“Museums and theme hotels? This is even more bizarre! Other places have museums first and then hotels, but this place built the hotel first and then the museum.”
"It's getting dark. I have to leave the hotel before dark..."
The driver, whose heart was opened by cigarettes, told everything he knew in a flash.
Xu Zhiyan touched his chin and handed over cigarette after cigarette.
The tattered cigarette box containing the driver's cigarettes had been thrown away somewhere long ago.
In the live broadcast room, the audience cried out in shock.
[??? Damn? Does this count as a cash-in-transfer ability?]
【This is a path that I never imagined. 】
[The main system probably never dreamed that the cigarette clue it originally set as the timer would become a springboard for Xiao Baiwan to pass the level and get information.]
[No, next time I come across a supermarket I will search for it too! This is too useful! ]
[I advised you not to do this if you don't have bandit blood and can judge the condition of items... a lesson learned through blood and tears.]
[I took a bag of eggs from a dungeon store before. Wow, the eggs seemed to have hatched into monsters in my bag, which ate up all my other supplies. In the end, they all died because they couldn't survive in the backpack space...]
[Hehe, it’s better to die. When I was about to use it before, I almost got my hand bitten off by a pack of contaminated tissues. ]
Xu Zhiyan has a small crisp bone, which allows him to check the status of his backpack in time. Moreover, when he leaves the dungeon and returns to the safe house, the monsters will quietly eat the supplies that cannot be used by humans during the inventory.
Perhaps because of the comfort of enough cigarettes, the speed of the bus increased a lot.
About an hour and a half had passed and the sun had not yet set. As the only player currently being driven by a driver, Xu Zhiyan was the first to arrive at his destination.
The bus slowly drove into a big gate. After Xu Zhiyan said goodbye to the driver, he stood inside the gate in the afterglow of the setting sun.
This looks like a square.
In the center of the huge, wide, flat ground, stands a white sculpture, a white Möbius strip about five or six meters long.
Should we say it is worthy of being called blood?
Even the overall layout of the copy is very similar to blood vessels.
But what is even more bizarre than the sculptures are the buildings on both sides.
Two grey retro buildings full of the sense of the times, exactly the same, are built opposite each other and equidistantly placed on both sides of the sculpture.
The only difference is that the sign on the left says [Scarlet Resort Hotel], while the sign at the door of the building on the right says [Mirror Museum].
Perhaps apart from the name, everything is exactly the same. From a distance, these two opposing buildings have a strange and bizarre symmetrical beauty, especially under the last ray of golden sunlight in the evening, which makes people feel dazed.
Xu Zhiyan looked around and didn't see anyone else.
Since the communication box provided by the guild system must be opened after the players enter the dungeon and meet, he hesitated for a moment and decided to continue waiting here.
[Is Xiao Baiwan waiting for his teammates? 】
[It seems that there are no new tasks appearing now. ]
[It’s so funny. He’ll have a lot to wait for then. Hahaha. 】
[Hahahahaha, I just checked, more than 50% of the players' cars were destroyed and the drivers died. The mutated drivers are actually not that strong.]
[Indeed, I think astrologers are just overdoing it, hahaha. ]
[So who's the next person to arrive? The male mother's legs run faster than the car hahahahahahahahaha]
[I guess it's the Joker! Although he didn't get the correct map, he can make a rough guess based on the game progress, but it's a bit troublesome.]
[It's so funny. Actually, killing the driver before he mutates is a good option besides giving him cigarettes. The Ugly Emperor also got a clue from a newspaper, but it's a pity that Xiao Baiwan had already heard the content of the newspaper.]
Xu Zhiyan didn't have to wait too long.
He worked on the sculpture for a while, took out a special prop and took a look at it, but couldn't figure out what it was. He didn't wait for the player, but he did wait for the hotel waiter.
"Sir! Do you have an appointment? I see you've been standing here for a while."
An NPC in a red reception uniform ran over.
Xu Zhiyan stood there, glanced at the handsome waiter, and was a little surprised.
This is the first time I see such high-quality low-level NPCs in a dungeon.
But considering what happened on the mermaid cruise ship before, the better-looking the NPC was, the more wrong their identity seemed, so he put on a smile and cheered himself up.
"some."
He handed over the ID that was in his pocket.
Sure enough, after the NPC completed the verification, a new prompt popped up on his game panel.
[It has been detected that a player has triggered Mission 2. Please redouble your efforts. There is less than half an hour left until it is completely dark. ]
The system continues to shamelessly put pressure on players.
【Task 2: Stay overnight in a hotel】
[Progress: Not Completed]
[Note: Your identity has been verified. You will check into the hotel and stay overnight. You can enter the Mirror Museum tomorrow morning. Now you need to go to your room and meet your companions. ]
【Tip 1: Please don’t forget to complete the guild mission. 】
[Tip 2: There will be some obstacles around you, please find a way to remove them in time and don't let the other party find anything unusual. ]
Xu Zhiyan raised his eyebrows.
He suddenly realized that although this game provided stage-by-stage tasks, it did not provide a main storyline.
However, considering the rewards for special guild missions, placing special items may be the biggest task of this dungeon.
"Mr. Xu, please follow me."
"Um."
Xu Zhiyan didn't say much and quietly followed the waiter into the resort hotel on the left.
The hall is magnificent, with an exquisite crystal chandelier hanging high above the head, a luxurious red printed carpet stretching from one end to the other, and the stairs leading to the second floor full of symmetrical beauty.
Unlike the empty and eerie small square outside, there are actually a few NPCs in uniform in the hall.
Leaning against the hotel front desk, Xu Zhiyan waited for the receptionist to change his room card, while secretly looking around the interior of the hotel.
Like all hotel lobbies.
There are also decorations hanging in the center of the lobby of the Scarlet Resort Hotel.
Mirrors of various shapes were wrapped with fishing lines and hung in the center of the hall.
"Sir, your wife is waiting for you."
The girl at the front desk handed over the room card and said with a smile: "The artwork you are seeing now was designed by our boss himself."
Xu Zhiyan took the room card and said calmly, "It seems your boss has a good taste."
What the hell, which idiot came up with the idea of tying a mirror with a fishing line? He looked over and saw countless images of himself, big and small, reflected from the mirror. They were dense and disgusting, and made people feel cold.
Not sure if the blood was from the hotel owner.
But if the other party is the boss, then his artistic aesthetic ability is too different from his blood vessels, right? !
But before leaving, he suddenly noticed that the girl at the front desk who handed him the room card had red cheeks for some reason, as if she was very happy.
Finally, he chatted with the front desk staff.
Zhiyan looked at the girl at the front desk with red cheeks, hesitated for a moment, grabbed a bag of snacks from his pocket and handed it to her, asking her to wait until his teammates arrived, tell them his room number, but not to come to see him.
It is not yet certain whether the 'wife' waiting for him in the room is a human or a ghost, he has to confirm it first.
Perhaps because it is a retro building, there is no elevator although there is a telephone. Xu Zhiyan walked up the symmetrical stairs in the center of the lobby.

The entire panel was covered with red warnings, and Xu Zhiyan forcibly resisted the urge to draw his weapon.
"Honey, you come so late. I've been waiting for you for a long time..." A lazy female voice sounded in my ears.
The next second, he felt himself being hugged by something.
As for why he didn't say whether it was a man or a woman, it was because the guy who was holding him was too strong, clamping him tightly and making it impossible for him to break free. Moreover, his chest was hard and his legs kept squeezing between his legs.
Damn, this inexplicable sense of familiarity is really creepy.
Glancing at the ring on his left hand, he realized that the golden light on it had disappeared since some time ago. After confirming that the entire ring had turned dark, Xu Zhiyan took a deep breath and forced himself to relax a little.
