Chapter 158 Gunshan Hospital (6)
The seven players turned the second floor upside down, but they couldn't find the person.
Not only was the missing eighth player not found, but the three "tourists" were also all gone, just like yesterday.
They seemed to be swept away by some unknown force, leaving no trace.
So the second-to-last person on guard, the player who took over the shift from the missing player, received the most questions.
"I really didn't see anything," he repeated tirelessly. "I didn't hear anything. Everything was normal when we handed over the shift!"
But not everyone is convinced.
"How could this person disappear for no reason? And the same goes for those tourists. Nothing happened when you were here, but they disappeared after you left?" Someone immediately questioned.
The person under suspicion angrily explained, "Why don't you come and keep watch? I want to know how people disappear, too! I'm the most scared, okay?"
They were arguing fiercely, and Li Yuan whispered to Su Yue, "What do you think? Is it related to that person?"
Su Yue: “No.”
"Why?" Li Yuan was surprised by Su Yue's affirmative tone.
"Did you hear any sound last night?" Su Yue asked.
Li Yuan shook his head in confusion, then suddenly his eyes widened as if he had suddenly understood. "You mean, our abilities have been completely stripped away here, and we're all equally weak. It's basically impossible to subdue someone without making a sound, right?"
"Quite smart." Su Yue commented.
Li Yuan didn't know why he felt a little happy to be praised by him, as if he had been favored by the gods. He shook his head, not quite understanding his own emotions.
Cang Zhi said beside him: "I know that too."
Su Yue glanced at him and said, "You're the only one with a mouth?"
Li Yuan: “…”
He really couldn't understand the interests of these two people.
Although the other players got carried away for a moment and thought the second player on night watch was suspicious, they soon realized that it was impossible for the second player to get rid of the missing person without anyone noticing.
The situation suddenly became confusing.
If you say that the store owner did this, it makes sense in theory, but if you ask anyone here, they won't think it's credible.
Because the shop owner is so lazy that he can't even stand up. How could he possibly go to the trouble of climbing up in the middle of the night just to make someone disappear?
In other words, it was caused by external forces.
At this point, finding the three tourists is no longer important, because it seems that these three tourists appear in the same place every day. All we need to do is bring them back. The problem is how to prevent the tourists from disappearing every night.
If we can't stop tourists from disappearing, containment will never be successful.
Five days had passed, and it was already the third day. If they were not successfully contained by the end of the fifth day, the remaining seven players would all die.
Not to mention that the “fourth tourist” is nowhere to be seen.
But now, finding the fourth tourist is not the most important thing, because whether looking for him in the mountains or in the pool, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The most important thing is to first figure out why the tourists left and where the missing person disappeared to.
.
The shop owner was still as lazy as before, sitting behind the counter. As the players filed down, he actually started counting to himself.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7... Eh? One missing?"
No one paid any attention to him and the shop owner continued on his own.
"Why is there someone missing? Did he go out running around at night?"
"Didn't I tell you it's dangerous at night?"
Amid the shop owner's muttering, the players cooked and ate their meals in silence. The shop owner didn't seem to have any objection to the fact that no one brought him food, and he continued to mutter things like "not paying attention to safety" and "you'll be unlucky".
"You young volunteers really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is without a lesson. What if one day... eh??"
The shop owner looked at the players who didn't go out to look for tourists or start cleaning, but instead started walking upstairs and asked: "What are you doing???"
Su Yue stopped halfway up the stairs, turned around to look at the shop owner, smiled and said, "Let's go shopping in the store. No one said we can't shop in the store, right?"
Judging from the shop owner's expression, he obviously thought it was not allowed, but there was indeed no explicit prohibition for players to do so.
If the shop owner were to argue with the player, you could tell from how lazy he was that it would be better to just kill him. Moreover, even if they really argued, the shop owner would not be able to win the argument with Su Yue.
So he could only let the players go upstairs angrily and helplessly.
The players didn't really wander around upstairs. Under Su Yue's command, they explored every room separately.
Su Yue has realized that his thinking has been restricted by the "tasks" of the game. The tasks only require them to go out and clean, but in fact, there is a lot of space to explore in the areas that do not need to be cleaned. Since there is no direction to explore outside, it is better to start with the B&B.
The game is called "Mountain Hospital", but the starting point is in a B&B. There must be some explanation for this.
The B&B has three floors, plus a basement, a total of four floors. Seven people were divided into four groups to check the situation, with two people arranged on each of the basement, first floor, and second floor. Because the players usually stay on the third floor, they know the third floor best and it is also the safest, so only one person was arranged there, and that person is Li Yuan.
The most dangerous place should be the second floor, because the player who was on guard yesterday disappeared from the second floor, and it can be confirmed that his situation is very serious.
Although tourists are no longer locked in the room and the death conditions may not be triggered, it is still a place that no one wants to go.
Naturally, it was Su Yue and Cang Zhi who went.
The remaining four people just happened to be divided into groups according to their previous groupings: one group on the first floor, and one group in the basement. The curly-haired man who looked familiar to Su Yue turned back and glanced at Su Yue several times as they were leaving. From his eyes, it seemed as if he wished Su Yue would die on the second floor.
"Have I seen that person?" Su Yue was really confused by that look, so he asked Cang Zhi.
"I can't recognize him." Cang Zhi said, "There are no players with this appearance in the sailing and school games. Although the guy using the bugs in the amusement park has curly hair, he has green eyes and is dead. I don't know about the ones before that."
Cang Zhi: “…”
Su Yue: "..."
You mentioned again the fact that a certain main god had gone through three copies incognito, right?
Cang Zhi: "I'm sorry."
Su Yue: "Alright, alright, no need."
Cang Zhi pointed to the first guest room which was very close and said, "Let's start from here."
Su Yue: "Okay."
.
When they pushed open the door of the guest room, they were greeted by a screen. Because of the screen, no player had ever seen the situation inside the guest room. After entering, everyone in Su Yue was stunned.
Everything behind the screen was dyed a light blue-green, including the walls, floor, and all the furniture.
Although it is said to be "all" furniture, there is actually only a bed and a toilet. The washbasin is almost suspended above the toilet. The open space in the room is not even as large as the area occupied by the bed. There is not even a window, and the entire room relies on the overhead light for lighting.
The furnishings in the guest room are so simple, so simple that in the human world, if this house costs more than 50 yuan a night, it would be called a "black shop".
It has a more common name called "Hanging Force House", which means that people who live in this kind of house basically have nothing to do and stay here waiting to die.
"The owner of this B&B is so heartless." Su Yue said casually.
He didn't need to feel any more sad because the evil heart of the B&B owner was obvious.
Su Yue said, "The only redeeming feature of this room is the paint. This color makes people feel much better. If it weren't painted this way, I'd probably go berserk after just a few days."
Cang Zhi agreed.
"It doesn't look like there's anything to explore here. If I were a tourist staying here, I'd want to run away too."
Su Yue said this, but actually walked further inside and touched every place he could touch.
"There's nothing wrong with the sink, the toilet is clean, the floors are all single-layered, and the bed..." Su Yue knocked on everything he walked to, then looked up and froze for a moment, "Come and help, what's the point of standing there in a daze?"
Cang Zhi had been standing at the door. At this moment, he stepped forward as if waking from a dream: "Oh, okay, let me look at the wall."
"Yeah." Su Yue responded simply and reached out to lift the mattress.
As soon as he raised his hand, there was a "crackling" sound and electric sparks flew through the wires.
The overhead light went out.
