That's all I can tell you.
Even though the conversation had reached its most crucial point, the parrot suddenly stopped talking.
The information they had was extremely limited, which made Wips frown.
"Please explain further. How can anyone understand you when you're speaking in such a cryptic way?"
"The last thing I can tell you is to find all four keys. May the mountain god bless you."
The light of humanity in the parrot's eyes had completely vanished. Weips wanted to ask something more, but Jiang Ran knew that the parrot had probably become an ordinary animal and was no longer of any use.
The guide's task is complete, and the parrot can now exit the storyline.
Jiang Ran remembered that one of the staff rules was that if a staff member was infected, they could seek help from a parrot. Now it seemed that the parrot could no longer provide them with any help, and they would have to be even more careful from now on!
Four keys! These are the most crucial things!
They thought they were close to completing the game after seeing the parrot, but perhaps they are only now truly getting into the story!
No problem, it's only the first day, they have plenty of time.
"Should we go find those four keys now? By the way, I don't even know what those keys look like. How can we be sure that the keys we find are the ones he asked us to find?"
"I don't know for now, but it would be best if we went home first." Jiang Ran could feel a slight discomfort in his body, as if his soul was slowly leaving his body and would eventually turn into nothingness.
Rule 24: Thank you for your continued dedication and for protecting the inn with your life. As midnight approaches, you may feel something is wrong with your body. Don't doubt it, it's time for you to go home.
This is probably why they suddenly disappear and reappear. Jiang Ran doesn't know what will happen when 12 o'clock arrives, but he'd better not spend this time as a staff member!
The two walked out of the warehouse, took off their work clothes, and from that moment on, their identities changed from staff members back to guests.
"It'll be almost midnight in about 20 minutes. Let's go back to our rooms first and meet again tomorrow."
"Um."
Jiang Ran took two bottles of liquor from the counter, then, after thinking for a moment, took a bottle of juice just in case, and finally returned to her room.
Jiang Ran had closed the window tightly when he left, and when he came back, he saw a crow hopping around outside the window, seemingly trying to get into the room.
Although the Lost Ones were not dangerous, the rules stated that one should not stay in the same room with the same kind of animal for too long, so Jiang Ran had no intention of letting the crows into the room.
The two kept the door tightly shut, waiting for midnight to fall.
At 11:50, the inn's door was pushed open once again!
Kim Jin-wang, an S-class talent ghost storyteller from South Korea!
The Korean livestream chat room instantly erupted! They had thought there was no hope, but unexpectedly, their own ghost storyteller entered the inn at the last minute!
It's amazing that King Jin Jin didn't get lost and turn into a crow after such a long time! Nobody knows how he managed to do it!
"That must be because everyone in our South Korean country has a strong will, after all, our country has a long history!"
"Bah! Not a single word of that sentence is correct!"
Upon entering the inn, King Jin looked extremely weak, and the Korean observer immediately used his first prompting opportunity to let him get a bottle of white wine to drink!
Jin Jinwang gulped down a bottle of baijiu, then suddenly clenched his wrist, and a long, blood-red worm crawled out of his skin and was held in his hand!
Individual ID 342, leech, neutral.
The blood leeches will not attack the ghost storyteller unless they come into contact with his or her skin. They will immediately burrow into his or her body and suck his blood. The ghost storyteller's body will become weaker and weaker, but he or she will remain mentally clear during this time!
It was thanks to the power of the blood leech that King Jin Jin did not get lost in the white mist. Now that he had arrived at the inn and found a better alternative, white wine, he forcibly forced the blood leech out of his body!
Encountering a blood leech certainly involved a part of luck, but it was also related to Jin Jinwang's talent!
S-tier talent: Individual Summoner!
Each time, you have three chances to randomly summon a neutral or benevolent weird individual to appear in front of you. Neutral individuals can be of great help in clearing the game if used properly, while benevolent individuals are even more so!
Incidentally, the talent that randomly summons a bizarre individual is grade C, but simply excluding malicious individuals can elevate a talent from grade C to grade S, which shows just how unpopular these things are.
You could say he was unlucky, since he randomly got a blood leech, but you could also say he was lucky, since he wandered in the fog for so long before finally being guided by a staff member.
The inn's location will not change. The staff will only look for lost people within a certain area and guide them to the inn. In other words, if you go the wrong way, it's basically goodbye.
Jin Jinwang searched almost the entire mountain before finally finding the inn in the last minute.
"Sir, this is your room number."
The receptionist appeared for less than a second, threw the wooden sign on the counter, and then quickly disappeared.
Jin Jinwang picked up the wooden plaque and walked towards his room—Room No. 4 (人字号).
Midnight has arrived!
Jiang Ran lay on the bed listening to the constant running sounds in the corridor, as if someone was chasing something, and then there was a knock on the door.
The knocking lasted for more than a minute, and perhaps because there was no response, the thing that was knocking eventually left.
A wave of drowsiness washed over him, and Jiang Ran took a sip of baijiu to clear his head. He was determined to never fall asleep, no matter what!
On the other side, Jin Jinwang finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the knocking stop. His body was already extremely weak, so he collapsed onto the bed, wanting to sleep. But then he suddenly remembered the rule that he couldn't sleep!
"No, I can't sleep!"
Jin Jinwang forced himself to wake up and slapped his cheeks, but the drowsiness surged in like a tide. He quickly realized that it was not because he was tired, but because some force wanted to force him to fall asleep!
"Damn it! I forgot to bring a few extra bottles of liquor!"
You absolutely cannot leave the room between 12:00 and 3:00 AM, so Jin Jinwang has lost the opportunity to replenish his liquor supply, and he also threw the leeches into the lobby on the first floor!
Could he really endure three hours on his own? Are you kidding me?! That's absolutely impossible!
