88 Sacrifice Corridor 2 || Check-in
"It's really hot here." Ye Jing'an fanned himself with his hands. "And it smells like barbecue."
The surface temperature in the city is at least 40 degrees. Ye Jing'an's description is correct. The indescribable smell in the air is the smell of barbecue.
"Fuck, my new phone! How did it become like this?" Ye Jing'an turned on the phone.
The phone screen can light up, but it has changed from a smartphone to a keypad phone, the appearance has also changed, and even the battery can be removed.
"It should be a product that conforms to this world." Yan Shuang was also fiddling with his mobile phone in his hand.
At this moment, four more people appeared in front of them, and they all screamed in fear, "Where is this? How did I get here?! What the hell is going on?!"
Coincidentally, the four girls were the ones sitting at another table in the coffee shop.
Yan Shuang waved to them. The girls saw the familiar person and Yan Shuang's harmless face, so although they remained vigilant, their emotions at least stabilized a lot.
"Hey, bro, let's..." As soon as one of the girls opened her mouth, her glasses were covered with mist.
"Hello, my name is Yan Shuang." Yan Shuang was the first to say her name, appearing more sincere.
"Hello... hello, my name is Wu Yushan, and this is Zhao Wanqing, He Xiaoxuan, and Wu Yaqi." The girl introduced the others one by one.
Zhao Wanqing had a pretty face and a gentle voice. "Brother Yan Shuang, why are we here?"
After just standing here for a few minutes, Yan Shuang's throat was dry. In the past, Lin Haichen was responsible for the explanation, but now that Lin Haichen had not appeared, the explanation task fell on him. However, he still tried his best to use simple words to explain the whole story to the four newcomers.
"I told you not to open that game. It makes me uncomfortable just looking at it." He Xiaoxuan muttered softly, and after a while of random thoughts, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her palms. Her brows furrowed slightly, and she secretly groaned in her heart.
I was clearly complaining, but I didn't have the courage to say it out loud, so instead it felt like I was blaming myself.
"Weren't you curious at that time? Now you blame us." Wu Yaqi, who was standing next to them, didn't hear it that way.
"Stop complaining," Wu Yushan said seriously. "Don't blame anyone. We all have a share."
Jing Ning, who had been silent all the time, raised his eyes and glanced at the girl. Perhaps Jing Ning's aura was too strong, and the girl couldn't help but shiver.
Soon, nine more people appeared in front of him. What Yan Shuang didn't expect was that Zhou Xia was among them.
Lin Haichen nodded to Yan Shuang and the others, then gave a brief explanation to the newcomers who had arrived. Perhaps because the temperature was too high, no one was shouting this time; they just kept taking off their heavy clothes.
Sixteen people, the number of players is constantly increasing.
"Ahhh! There's someone..." A scream suddenly rang out, startling everyone. The newcomers were already scared, and this scream made them even more panicked. They involuntarily stepped back before they saw anyone.
"Is it a human or a ghost? Can ghosts come out during the day? Besides, the sun is so bright." He Xiaoxuan was completely scared. She didn't care about the quarrel just now and grabbed Wu Yaqi who was closest to her.
"Not all ghosts are vampires." Ye Jing'an had seen NPCs in the game and was relatively calm, knowing that the old man in front of him posed no threat to them for the time being.
The old man stood at the door of the security room, looking at the huge group of people, holding a steaming ceramic cup in his hand.
"Are we going in now?" Wu Yushan asked as she tied up her long hair.
Yan Shuang nodded and pointed at the building. "We might stay here for the next few days. Let's go. It's too hot outside. If this continues, everyone will get heatstroke."
Jing Ning didn't say anything, held Yan Shuang's hand tightly, and walked towards the old man. Seeing this, the newlyweds hurriedly followed.
The old man looked at the group of people walking towards him and said with a smile, "Are you new here? I've been waiting for you for a long time. I was afraid you would get lost, so I came back as soon as I got some water. I didn't expect you to be here so soon."
Everyone stared at the real person in front of them, all silent, standing at the door under the scorching sun, even their breathing became hot, and they didn't dare to raise their hands to wipe the sweat.
The old man didn't take it seriously. He turned around and put the cup in his hand on the desk, then took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his jacket pocket. When he unfolded it, it showed the names of all the players including the room number.
"You booked these rooms yourself. Please check if there are any mistakes. If there are no mistakes, please sign at the back." The old man handed over the list.
Yan Shuang took the list and glanced at it. There were exactly eight rooms, no more, no less, with two people assigned to each room. What was even more surprising was that Jing Ning was in the same room with her.
"Our community is very convenient. You can go shopping when you have time. If you young people don't want to cook for yourselves, there are restaurants and convenience stores around." Seeing that they did not agree immediately, the old man kept selling us.
Jing Ning asked, "What kind of temple is that on the other side of the river? Let's go and worship there when we have time."
"I didn't expect you guys, so young, still believe in this." The old man's expression changed a little, and then he shook his head. "It's better not to go during normal times. If you really want to go, a witch doctor will come in seven days. You can go then."
Lin Haichen frowned slightly when he heard this. Everyone remained silent, wondering what kind of person this witch was.
The old man sighed and hurriedly urged, "After you sign, go up and clean up quickly. Our community will have a power outage at night."
"Will there be power outages every night?" Yan Shuang asked.
The old man nodded. "The weather is too hot, and the electricity consumption has increased, resulting in a lack of water. There's nothing we can do about it."
Although the explanation given by the old man makes sense, the setting of power outages at night in the game is another matter.
Everyone has so many questions: Where exactly is this? Are all the other residents in the complex NPCs? What exactly is that temple across the street? What happens when the power goes out at night? First, they're afraid, and second, they don't know where to start.
No one is stupider than anyone else. Since the old players are asking, the newcomers just need to listen carefully.
The old man couldn't give any more information. Jing Ning looked at Yan Shuang, who shook her head, indicating that there was nothing wrong with the list.
"Old man, can you lend us a pen?" Jing Ning said, pointing to the list.
When the old man heard this, he quickly took out a ballpoint pen from the drawer. Jing Ning took it and maintained his usual calmness and wrote his name on the paper.
Unit 5, 502.
Yan Shuang then signed her name at the back.
Then the old man found the corresponding number from a bunch of keys and handed it to the two of them.
The newlyweds behind them followed their example and signed their names one by one, standing aside and waiting for Jing Ning to speak.
"Let's find the room first." Jing Ning said.
