Chapter 150 Hotel Copy (VIII)
Xia Yingnuan's situation was different from Ning Hanqi's the moment the elevator door opened. Ning Hanqi only felt the heat wave, while she was choked by the thick smoke that hit her face and started coughing.
The smoke that can choke ghosts must not be an ordinary thing. Xia Yingnuan subconsciously prepared to protect Ning Hanqi behind her, but she found that Ning Hanqi had disappeared in the thick smoke!
Her expression immediately became sinister. She was able to quietly take Ning Hanqi away from her side. She guessed that it was a powerful ghost that used the power of rules. This was a newly created copy, and the strength of the ghosts in the copy was generally not high, far worse than those in the sea amusement park. Xia Yingnuan did not sense how powerful the existence was in this hotel.
Except for the dungeon boss that I haven't found yet.
Xia Yingnuan stretched her short legs and ran towards the stairs, already having a rough plan in her mind.
The game of hide-and-seek lasts for an hour. If she keeps running like this, she will die before the time is up.
Alas, although she was not completely sure about this method, she had no choice but to try it out in the current situation.
As soon as she reached the stairs, she felt a louder movement behind her, like a floodgate opening, and all the voodoo dolls rushed up.
Xia Yingnuan, who had originally planned to go down the stairs safely, simply hugged her head and rolled down.
One of his arms had become stiff and numb from being hit by the voodoo doll, and the pain seemed to have lessened a lot after being turned into a doll, so it didn't hurt as much as it did when he was hit.
But when I caught a glimpse of it, I saw Cui Zhongming swinging the whip onto the beam, grabbing one end and swinging it over the heads of the dolls like Tarzan.
I couldn't help but twitch the corner of my mouth.
I was just being polite and asked you to hold on for a while before letting the doll out. You were really obedient and didn't hold on for even a second longer.
She only had time to complain in her heart, but when she saw the half-human-height doll following her and chasing after her, she dared not let her guard down anymore.
I can only bury my head and continue rolling down.
As she stumbled down to the first floor, Xia Yingnuan did not forget to observe the army of children following her.
It was discovered that except for the half-human-height doll in the lead, which was relatively easy to move, the rest of the short voodoo dolls stumbled when going down the stairs.
Especially since their brains don’t seem to be very good, they don’t know how to learn to roll down by themselves to save trouble.
Oh, maybe they have no brains at all.
While thinking, Xia Yingnuan struggled to get up from the ground. Without even looking behind her, she ran towards the basement.
She felt like the hen in the story of the eagle catching the chicks, followed by a group of chicks, running back and forth in the castle with hundreds of dolls.
It's just that the old hen was trying to protect her chicks, but she was trying her best to get rid of the baby behind her.
Logically speaking, with such a big commotion, even if the people in the castle didn't help, they would come out to watch the excitement.
But when Xia Yingnuan went downstairs, she didn't see anyone.
She discovered this problem the last time she was doing a skill task at night.
It seems that for single-player missions like this chase, in order to prevent other players from helping, the system has made certain isolation settings for the game copy.
The doll is half the height of a person, with big and steady steps.
By the time Xia Yingnuan finally ran to the entrance of the basement, she had already caught up with her.
An arm that was several times thicker than Xia Yingnuan's was already sweeping over with the wind.
Xia Yingnuan knew that she couldn't avoid this attack. The part that was touched would immediately become stiff. In her current situation, she only had to sacrifice one arm, and her legs still had to be used to continue running.
However, when Xia Yingnuan calculated the angle and prepared to face the blow, she found that the person behind her seemed to be afraid of the basement and paused for a moment.
Xia Yingnuan was delighted and immediately felt that her method might really work.
The little body squeezed out strength from somewhere and took advantage of the moment when the other party was panicked to slip into the basement.
Xia Yingnuan's plan was very good. If the other party was hesitant and didn't dare to chase her, then she would hide in the basement for a while.
If the other party really chased after her, it would not be too late for her to use the method she had thought of before.
Thinking of this, Xia Yingnuan suddenly felt that the smell of blood coming from the basement was very familiar.
However, this feeling did not last long. After running a few steps forward, Xia Yingnuan heard heavy footsteps behind her. The half-human-height doll was chasing after her.
She knew that the game would never allow her to stay safely in the basement.
Fortunately, she had been to the basement in the morning, so she was familiar with the way and slipped into the wine cellar.
This place was exactly the same as it was before he left in the morning. Apart from the strong smell of blood, there were no dark shadows and the pool showed no signs of sinking.
"Well, I have something to discuss with you. Why don't you show up?" Xia Yingnuan stood in the middle of the ravine, speaking to the pool at her feet. "Besides, we've already met this morning. Can you please spare me the gift of meeting?"
She was running out of breath, but she didn't forget to bargain with the other party at this time.
But the pond under my feet seemed to not exist at all. There was no response, and everything was silent.
Xia Yingnuan knew that this meant there was no room for negotiation, so she had no choice but to take a few steps forward and find a sharp spot on the stone wall.
He pressed his scabby hand hard again.
The pampered finger was pierced again, and blood dripped down the wall into the ravine.
As she expected, even though she was now stuffed in the doll's body, her body would still bleed as long as it didn't become completely stiff.
As the drop of blood flowed down the ravine and gathered in the center, the pool finally reappeared, and the dark shadows slowly emerged from behind the barrel racks.
Seeing that the black shadow's trust in her had increased by a few points, Xia Yingnuan had no time to get excited, so she had to follow the method she used in the morning and spent ten points to let the other party lift her up quickly while Chi Zi hadn't reacted.
She came here to negotiate, not to be eaten.
However, it was not known whether Chi Zi had smelled the familiar scent on her body, or whether he had eaten in the morning and that made him move faster.
Xia Yingnuan had just given the order, and before the black shadow came close to her, thick black hair with a bloody smell reached out and wrapped her tightly.
The black shadow had just moved halfway when it saw this situation. Knowing that it was no match for the hair, it did not dare to move forward. However, due to the limitations of its skills and following Xia Yingnuan's orders, it did not dare to leave completely. It just floated around the hair, spinning around anxiously.
The pool was still sinking, and Xia Yingnuan was hit by the fishy-smelling hair in the face. She was so disgusted that she bent down and wanted to retch, but her wrists and ankles were tightly wrapped by the hair as thin as silk threads.
Because of the doll's body, Xia Yingnuan didn't feel much pain at first, but as the silk thread continued to tighten, she could already feel her skin as if it was trapped like a drum, swelling uncomfortably.
"I'm here... to seek reconciliation... wuwu..."
She opened her mouth with difficulty, trying to show her sincerity, but after she had said two words, the hair was stuffed into her mouth, blocking what Xia Yingnuan wanted to say.
She was so nauseous that she wanted to retch, but her hair was blocking her way and she could only whimper.
Her hand was covered by more and more hairs, her body became heavier, and her vision became blurred. Xia Yingnuan was completely immersed in the fishy smell, and her strength to struggle became weaker and weaker.
The dress she was wearing was already riddled with hair.
The pool was about to sink to the bottom, and that drop of Xia Yingnuan's blood finally gathered in the center along the ravine.
The hair seemed ready to continue its feast, but as the drop of blood flowed into the center, the entire sinking movement of the pool seemed to be stuck.
The strands of hair wrapped around Xia Yingnuan's body seemed to have been suddenly paused, and the tightening movement froze in place.
After a while, the pool seemed to have eaten something dirty. It seemed to be regurgitating the cud from the gap in the middle, and spitting out blood.
The hair that was entangled with Xia Yingnuan was retracted at lightning speed, as if it was afraid of getting involved in something dirty.
I was afraid that if I was a second late, I would get into big trouble.
Xia Yingnuan, whose entire body had been wrapped up and floating in the air, suddenly lost her support and was about to fall to the bottom of the pool.
Fortunately, the black shadow next to him had been guarding diligently. Seeing this situation, he quickly used himself to hold Xia Yingnuan's small doll body.
Xia Yingnuan coughed violently several times, trying to spit out the fishy smell in her throat.
vomit--
vomit--
She bent over, not afraid of falling off the black shadow, but she didn't vomit anything, and then she heard a vomiting sound coming from below.
It was louder than her voice and more miserable than her vomiting.
What happened? Could it be that someone else besides me accidentally strayed in?
Xia Yingnuan suppressed her nausea and turned her head to look.
I saw the pool below, as if it had eaten something dirty, and it was spitting out dark red blood from the center of the ravine. Every time it spit, the half-meter-long hair in front of it trembled.
He vomited several times until a drop of bright red blood came out, and then the noise finally stopped.
That drop of bright red blood seemed to be unique and separate from the other bloodstains, as if it had nothing to do with each other.
Xia Yingnuan only knew that she almost died just now, but then her hair ran away as if it had seen a ghost. She didn't know what happened, and now she pinched her still painful fingers, as if she understood something.
But I feel a little complicated.
For a moment, he didn't know whether he was happy that the underground pool was suffering because it absorbed his blood, or he was annoyed that the other party was avoiding his blood like the plague.
She hooked her finger at the black shadow and asked him to take her to the half-meter-long hair.
She wanted to touch the hair with the scratched finger, but before she could touch it, the other party cautiously retreated half a palm's distance.
"Humph, are you scared now?" Xia Yingnuan said in a pinched tone, "When I came in just now, I was very kind and polite. It was you who insisted on a gift. You can't blame me for that."
In fact, Xia Yingnuan didn't know that her blood had such a magical use. If she had known earlier, she would have applied some on her hair and saved herself from so much suffering.
But now that I have the other party in my control, I still have to show off my power.
She remembered that when she was possessed by Bai Wei's doll in the doctor's room, she thought it was the pain that woke her up.
Now it seems that Bai Wei's doll was afraid of her own blood and gave up the attack on its own initiative, which is why she woke up.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, and the guy with the hair probably didn't expect that the next person to come would be a tough guy.
The process of settling scores after the event is not very clear.
As soon as the wine cellar became quiet, the excitement outside began to build.
Hearing the synchronized footsteps getting closer, Xia Yingnuan took a look and realized that only twenty-five minutes of hide-and-seek had passed, not even half of the time.
I know now is not the time to settle accounts with my hair. After all, I need help from others... my hair.
Just as Xia Yingnuan was thinking about how to start the conversation, her half-meter-long hair began to move. After rustling on the ground for a while, a few clear, large words appeared.
"What was this collaboration you were talking about?"
Oh, you are quite flexible. Xia Yingnuan raised her eyebrows, agreeing to move on from the previous article.
When Xia Yingnuan saw so many lifelike dolls in the witch's room and heard the heartbeat coming from inside, she basically matched the black shadow with the doll's identity.
There's also the half-human-height doll that's dressed like the maid and wears the same headband, and the pool that can only stay in the wine cellar, attacking the player with its long hair, but leaving the headband for itself to activate special quests.
It is not difficult to guess that she is a maid whose heart is controlled and soul is imprisoned by the witch.
So she knew what the maid in front of her wanted most, and naturally said what she wanted to hear most.
But this is not an exaggeration. She has already accepted the special mission, so fulfilling the maid's last wish is a piece of cake.
Meet your heart. As long as the other person agrees to help you, you must meet him no matter what.
The only last promise was to help the other party escape from the witch's control. It was Xia Yingnuan's own promise not to rely on the game.
"I don't believe you."
After pondering for a moment, a few more words appeared on the ground.
Xia Yingnuan wasn't too surprised. "It's normal that you don't believe it. I don't know how long this instance has been around, but looking at the dense black shadows and dolls, it's likely to be around for a long time. If so many players haven't done it, it must be either too difficult or the game doesn't allow it."
[Warning, warning——
Players' conversations touch upon the core of the game, so please be careful with your words, otherwise the conversation will be erased.
As soon as Xia Yingnuan said "games are not allowed", the system in her head exploded, shouting warnings in a high-pitched voice, as if afraid that Xia Yingnuan couldn't hear it.
Xia Yingnuan originally wanted to test the system, but now that she had an idea of what was going on, she stopped talking about the game content and turned to talk about something else while facing a pile of hair.
"I'm not 100% sure, and I don't know if I can succeed, but now that I've said it, I'm going to do it."
"Besides, other players have told me that this game has never triggered special quests before, and the game level has never changed. I don't think you've ever encountered a player like me who can survive your hands. How does my blood taste?"
This doesn't sound out of place, but if you look closely at the content, you can understand what Xia Yingnuan wants to express:
Although I dare not guarantee it, but as you can see, I am different from other players. Maybe I can succeed?
At this point, Xia Yingnuan's initial courtesy was over, but she still did not forget to add fuel to the fire.
"Your hearts have been trapped by your witch for so long, under her control. Now I'm afraid you can't handle it yourself. It seems that my asking you for help was a mistake from the beginning."
Even though she knew that this person was trying to sow discord, the soul of the maid who had transformed into long hair was still irritated. In fact, she had heard what Xia Yingnuan had said before, and she didn't want to do something that would contradict herself.
"It's still unknown who will be the stronger one. Just wait and see. I promise to cooperate with you. Bring all those dolls into the room."
After a moment's silence, the man with the hair hurriedly wrote a few more lines.
Bribery and provocation do work.
"Then let me see what you can do," Xia Yingnuan breathed a sigh of relief, and added calmly, "Don't worry, I will do my best to do what I promised you."
Xia Yingnuan was slightly startled. She followed Ning Hanqi out of the elevator. Just as she was about to ask what was going on, the person in front of her suddenly stopped at the exit of the employee passage.
There was light outside, but it was pitch black inside the door.
If an employee took a peek through the crack in the door at this moment, they would see a thin and pretty human pressing the ghost against the wall and kissing it, under the pretext of replenishing Xia Yingnuan's strength lost in battle or healing Ning Hanqi's invisible injuries.
The power of the sea god is indeed very useful.
