Chapter 147 Hotel Copy (V)
Although she found out the girl's room number, Ning Hanqi didn't have time to approach her for the time being. When she finally finished her work and could leave, it was already 11:30 in the evening. Before that, she had almost no free time, and even if she did, it would not be enough for her to "accidentally meet" a guest.
But it was too late when she got off work, so she could only look for another opportunity tomorrow.
Ning Hanqi went to find his staff dormitory, which was on the underground floor. There were both stairs and elevators in the staff passage, but taking the elevator was too risky. Once something went wrong, it would be difficult for players trapped in the elevator to survive. People like Ning Hanqi would usually choose to take the stairs.
When Ning Hanqi went downstairs, Xia Yingnuan was carefully observing the surrounding space. This place had been burned by the raging fire. In Xia Yingnuan's eyes, the space here had a sense of instability distorted by the heat wave. No one knew where the players would step every time when going downstairs. If they accidentally went to the lower space, they would enter someone else's room as the rules said.
Fortunately, the first time back to the room went smoothly. Ning Hanqi found his room number, pushed open the door and went in. There were three beds in the room. It was a triple room, but the hotel arranged one room per person for the players, which was inevitably a bit strange.
Three minutes is neither long nor short.
Xia Yingnuan felt that as soon as she finished speaking, her whole body was lifted up lightly.
At first she was worried that those shadows didn't know how to take things seriously, and if they accidentally made her fall, it would be a disaster.
And the top of this wine cellar is quite high.
However, when she was floating in the air, she tried to give the black shadow a few more orders to test the limits of the other party's abilities.
In the end, it was discovered that except for the fact that they were currently no match for the hair and could not stop the movement in the pool, they obeyed other commands quite well.
Xia Yingnuan found the most comfortable place in a short while.
Sitting on the swing built by the group of dark shadows, swinging back and forth, looking at the pool below that had completely sunk.
Bai Wei had been dragged completely to the center of the pool, and her jet-black hair, as flowing as water, had already surrounded her entire body.
Xia Yingnuan noticed with her sharp eyes that the hairs seemed to have life, and there seemed to be some small suction cups growing at the ends of the hair.
Once it sticks to the skin, it will penetrate directly into the body, firmly grasping the flesh and blood, making it impossible to break free.
By the time everyone was dragged into the pool, the hair seemed to have finally returned to its own safe zone, ready to be feasted upon.
I don’t know if it already has prey, or if there is a height limit that prevents it from reaching Xia Yingnuan.
After catching Bai Wei, it didn't pay any attention to the other person watching the fun in the room.
Bai Wei's clothes were quickly taken off, and her dark hair wrapped her tightly, with only a piece of skin on her lower back exposed.
But what surprised Xia Yingnuan was that the exposed skin was not human skin, but was covered with long gray hair, like some kind of animal skin.
Before Xia Yingnuan could take a closer look, Bai Wei's entire body seemed to be squeezed dry in an instant, and began to shrink at a strange speed.
The hair surrounding each other's body seemed to have finally received some kind of nourishment, becoming increasingly smooth and black.
Only the area covered with animal skin remained intact.
If a living person disappeared in such an instant, any other new player would probably be scared.
After all, a living person lost his life in front of him.
No matter how mentally prepared one was, knowing that Bai Wei had killed many people, a player was thrown into the pool in this way yesterday.
But it is actually quite difficult to accept it.
After all, most people were just ordinary people before entering the game and had never seen such bloodiness in person.
But Xia Yingnuan felt no wavering in her heart.
Because she knew that if the person who entered the pool was not Bai Wei, it would be herself.
And once the pool is awakened with blood, there will definitely be blood involved, otherwise Bai Wei would not have been ready to slip away after cutting her finger.
Time passed by bit by bit, and Bai Wei's figure was completely buried in the pile of hair.
In order to prevent the hair from not being enough to eat for one meal, with three minutes left, Xia Yingnuan instructed the black shadow to send herself out from the crack of the door.
He also reminded them to close the door to prevent the thing from running out.
Just as the door of the wine cellar was completely closed, Xia Yingnuan caught a glimpse of the knight in armor who had been standing at the door and suddenly moved.
It walked towards the pond, and when it walked forward with its back to Xia Yingnuan, Xia Yingnuan seemed to see a long crack on the armor on the back of its neck from a distance.
Then the arch blocked out all movement inside the door.
Xia Yingnuan did not leave immediately. She stood outside the door, paying close attention to the movements inside.
It seems that my charm value adds much more to monsters than normal humans.
Xia Yingnuan was sure that the thing inside the door couldn't escape, so she simply stood outside the door and thought about it.
Without any action bonus, Xiaoxue and Li Shuai's confidence in themselves is around 10, which is the level at which they can use their skills.
And when I kindly reminded them not to eat the meat at the dinner, their trust level increased by five points.
But last night I made an example of them and threatened them to help me by using my ability to absorb shadows.
In this situation, Black Shadow's confidence in himself reached thirty.
Xia Yingnuan hasn't figured out the trick yet.
I'm not sure if it has anything to do with my ability to absorb shadows.
But one thing is certain, that is, as her trust increases, the points she needs to consume to use her skills will be appropriately reduced.
Of course, she suspected that this might be related to the target's skills, and whether the target was a human or a monster.
In short, the attempt just now gave Xia Yingnuan a preliminary understanding of her own skills.
If I have enough points, or can make more powerful monsters trust me, I might be able to play a big role.
For example, the hair monster in the pool, and the armored monster?
Speaking of points, Xia Yingnuan naturally thought of her solo side quest. There would definitely be rewards after completing the quest.
Although Xia Yingnuan's family was not particularly wealthy, she had to admit that according to the standards of the game, she was currently quite poor.
Just now, Xia Yingnuan spent 30 points in one go.
I don’t know what dangerous missions there will be later in this game, so I have to prepare early.
After thinking it through, she quickly turned her attention back to the identity of the shadow.
The tip said that the chef thought he was a thief who watched out every night. The dark shadows entered the kitchen and circled around the pot of smelly soup. It was obvious that what they wanted was inside.
Thinking back to last night, she saw a glimpse of bloody bones on the kitchen firewood pile.
It was hard for her not to suspect that the soup pot did not contain normal meat.
What is the identity of the black shadow?
Just now in the wine cellar, she was not just watching the fun, she also found that the number of those dark shadows was not countable.
It was such a dark crowd, it was obvious that they were not the people who originally lived in the castle.
Then I thought of what the doctor said when he treated them in the morning.
Past guests...
The quality this time...
There was also the mutated skin on Bai Wei's lower back, and the smelly meat with hair on it on the dining table.
The smell of blood at the door of the wine cellar was getting stronger and stronger. Xia Yingnuan was already feeling uncomfortable from the smell, and now thinking about it again, she covered her mouth and nose, hunched over uncomfortably, and felt like vomiting.
Those dark shadows might be the previous guests.
The first group of guests mutated in the castle for unknown reasons.
All their blood was sucked out by the blood pool, and the mutated parts of their bodies were taken to the kitchen by the chef to be cooked, and then served to the next group of guests as venison.
Guests who eat the mutated parts will also mutate.
The blood pool continued to absorb blood, and the kitchen had a constant supply of fresh "venison".
All of this has become a vicious cycle, which is why there are so many dark shadows in the castle.
And those groups of dead guests would return to the kitchen every night.
They are not thieves who want to steal something, but just want to take back a part of their body.
Xia Yingnuan squatted on the ground uncomfortably, her face pale.
I can’t imagine how many of the guests in this game copy are players, nor can I imagine how long this copy has existed.
After about ten minutes, there was no more movement in the wine cellar.
Xia Yingnuan stood up tremblingly and was about to go into the room to find a dark shadow to confirm.
Because the situation was urgent, she had no time to ask about the side quests, but as soon as her hand touched the arch, the prompt sounded.
【bite--
Congratulations to the player for completing the single-player side quest.
Mission Reward: One Mink Fur Shawl*1 (Note: It is artificial leather. After all, protecting animals is everyone's responsibility. No buying, no killing. However, even if it is artificial leather, it can withstand one rule damage at a critical moment.)]
I don’t know if there was any movement in the blood pool in the wine cellar just now, Xia Yingnuan was standing at the door.
I just felt that the fishy and bloody smell in the air seemed to be a little stronger than before.
In this environment, the saying "no trade, no killing" sounds extremely harsh.
Although the system's prompts confirmed that Xia Yingnuan's guess was almost correct.
But she pushed open the closed arched door anyway.
Everything in the wine cellar has been restored to its original state.
The knight's armor on the right side still stood motionless, even his movements were exactly the same.
If Xia Yingnuan hadn't seen it move with her own eyes just now, she would have thought it had always been like this.
The sunken pool has returned to its original state, and there is no trace of it left around it.
If it weren't for the gullies on the open space, which had absorbed the blood and became brighter than before, Xia Yingnuan would have felt that everything that had just happened was just her imagination.
Even the dark shadows that had appeared just now disappeared into nowhere.
From Bai Wei's actions just now, it is not difficult to see that the rule of death here is triggered by blood.
Xia Yingnuan was not worried about any danger when she came in again. She searched the space here carefully, as if trying to find other clues.
However, the densely packed wine barrel racks didn't seem to have anything special about them.
Besides being a bit cramped and narrow, you can only move sideways to get around in it.
Xia Yingnuan also shook the wine barrel and found that there was liquid inside. Besides wine, she had a bad association.
But because she was still in the room, she didn't dare to break open the wine barrel to verify.
After turning around, I returned to the gully in the open space.
When she looked up again, Xia Yingnuan discovered that there seemed to be something extra in the corner of the wall opposite the door.
She slowed down her pace and approached cautiously, only to find a piece of green silk-like thing lying there, but it was very short.
This thing is only two fingers wide and not long enough to be made into a belt, and it has patterns on it.
It's a headband.
Her phone kept flashing with new messages. Other players should have encountered the same problem. Looking at the speed at which messages were sent in the group, it was obvious that they were very scared. Xia Yingnuan simply turned her phone upside down to prevent the light from the phone from disturbing Ning Hanqi's sleep.
After doing all this, the ghosts on the other two beds were shivering.
Just like other players would find it extremely painful to spend a night being stared at by ghosts, they would also feel like every second feels like an eternity when being stared at by more powerful ghosts!
