The moment the bottle was smashed, not only did Hanamura Naiku be stunned, but everyone in the live stream was also completely dumbfounded!
In particular, netizens in Japan were so anxious they were jumping up and down, grabbing their keyboards and taking action!
Finally, we met a ghost story teller who seemed somewhat reliable, although he didn't seem particularly reliable, but at least he could find the inn!
Team-based ghost story dungeons prohibit ghost storytellers from engaging in serious combat. If a ghost storyteller seriously injures another, he or she will be disqualified!
Of course, Hanamura Ku's injuries are far from reaching that level right now.
Wips knew Hanamura Uchika, who had upgraded his talent to S-rank after clearing an A-rank ghost story world, making him a formidable opponent!
If we just log him off now, we can take his talent to the grave!
The liquor splashed everywhere, and Hanamura tried to lick the liquor off the ground with his last bit of consciousness, but Wips wouldn't give him that chance. He kicked him down first, and then put his throat in a chokehold to control him!
"As expected of the fighting nation, I'm impressed. While others are racking their brains to use the rules to kill, this guy just takes action."
"This Hanamura village is really miserable. All I can say is, well done!"
A few seconds later, Hanamura's eyes became glazed again, and Wips felt a strange force coming from him, so he subconsciously let go of him!
Immediately afterwards, Wips saw Hanamura Uchi's body twist and turn, and black feathers began to grow. His flesh and blood began to tear exaggeratedly, and finally his whole body turned into a huge raven!
Two seconds later, the crow in front of me shrank rapidly, becoming the same size as a normal crow!
"this......"
Wips took two steps back. The raven was actually a living person in disguise. He remembered the one in his room and couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine!
A fragmented clue came together in his mind. Adhering to the principle of "out of sight, out of mind," Wips kicked the crow out the door and slammed the inn's door shut!
It's a pity this door can't be locked, otherwise once he's in, no one else could get in.
Jiang Ran walked out of the room and leaned against the wall in the third-floor corridor.
The claim that guests cannot call for staff is a misunderstanding. The person who left the notes ended up dying at the hands of staff, but before that, he mentioned that he was itchy, which undoubtedly reminded Jiang Ran of a rule.
Rule Fourteen: If you suddenly feel unbearably itchy and develop scratches or other wounds, immediately return to your room, drink some baijiu (a type of Chinese liquor), and disinfect the wounds with it. During this time, you must avoid rats and absolutely must not have any physical contact with them.
Jiang Ran guessed that he had encountered a rat during this time, which was why he broke the rules and was punished by the staff.
The two most important points are: first, what role does the staff member in black play in the inn, and second, is there something fishy about the roast meat that was delivered?
Secondly, what is the meaning of the spider legs interspersed on the last page? Did the owner of the notebook encounter not only a mouse but also a spider at the end? No, probably not.
Jiang Ran seemed to have a vague idea of what was going on.
I feel a little dizzy...
"It seems that even entering an inn doesn't completely protect one from mental intrusion, or perhaps it's precisely because of this slow, insidious process that one is less likely to be discovered?"
He took a small sip of baijiu (Chinese liquor) and went back to his room to refresh his status.
It's time to grab a few more bottles of liquor from the counter; they're essential for surviving in the inn.
As Jiang Ran was going downstairs, she bumped into Weipus, who was rushing upstairs.
“We meet again, brother.” Wips took a deep breath and continued, “My country just gave me a second clue. First, Smir of the White Eagles has arrived at the inn. You should know this information too, right?”
"Um."
The Northern Alliance observers obviously wouldn't pass on any information to him based on this intelligence, so—
“Brother, you have some crucial intelligence here, like that notebook.” Wips shrugged. “I hope our partnership isn’t just talk. I’ll share my intelligence as well.”
“Smir isn’t stupid. He must have been involved in our operation as well. It’s impossible for one person to find all the clues. Compared to him, I would definitely prefer to cooperate with you, brother.”
Both Weips and Jiang Ran possessed intelligence unknown to the other. The Northern Alliance observer was even willing to expend a reminder opportunity to facilitate their cooperation. Given the already friendly relations between the two countries, Jiang Ran nodded but still gestured for Weips to speak first.
Weips quickly gave Jiang Ran a brief description of what had just happened in the hall. Hanamura Uchiko had turned into a crow right in front of him. If they still couldn't guess that, they wouldn't need to be ghost story tellers.
"So the crow represents the lost; anyone who fails to drink the liquor in time will eventually become a crow."
The Lost Ones are harmless to everyone; they will not hurt anyone, so there is no need to be wary of them.
Jiang Ran then handed the notebook to Weipus.
"Be careful, don't let the live stream see it."
"Don't worry, I understand!"
After reading the notes, Wips's expression became serious.
"So, are the staff members trustworthy?"
“I think we should make that estimate ourselves,” Jiang Ran said. “As long as we don’t break any rules, the staff should be harmless to us.”
"But there is one exception, such as the staff member in black mentioned in the notebook. He must be involved in the death of the notebook's owner!"
As the two were discussing the information they knew, someone suddenly patted them on the shoulder from behind!
"Gentlemen, please do not stand at the top of the stairs, as this will block other guests from going up or down the stairs."
The staff member in front of me had a big smile on his face and was wearing a modern black uniform that was completely different from everyone else!
"Why are you two looking at me like that? It's getting late, you should go and get some rest."
"We have our own plans."
The black-clad staff member was not discouraged at all by the cold shoulder. He smiled slightly and took out two things wrapped in leaves from behind him.
"You two must be hungry, right? No problem, these roasted meats are a specialty of our inn, not only delicious but also filling."
Just as Weips was about to refuse, Jiang Ran took the barbecue.
"Be sure to eat it while it's hot!"
The staff member in black disappeared at the end of the corridor, and Jiang Ran stared at the grilled meat in his hand, lost in thought.
Accepting the roast meat doesn't mean he intends to eat it; the roast meat might be an important clue!
