Chapter 156 Hotel Copy (14)
I didn't expect that besides ghosts, there would be such a person in this hotel. It was the first time Ning Hanqi met an ordinary NPC who treated him as a fool. It was a bit of a novel experience, but he mentioned taking me out...
Things are definitely not that simple. That NPC has bad intentions. Ning Hanqi certainly cannot expect him to take him out, but the key clue of the branch line should be on him, so he can only deal with him for the time being.
Ning Hanqi held the talisman paper given to her by the madman in her hand. It was really useless. The madman told her that the talisman paper had a short validity period because this place was full of ghosts and the power of the talisman paper would be depleted quickly, so he asked her to come and get a few new ones after every meal.
I still don’t know what that madman is planning, but as long as we keep dealing with him, he will definitely show his hand.
It was a bit troublesome. Xia Yingnuan suspected that the ghost hidden behind the cinema had affected her perception, so she was more cautious afterwards and did not dare to make any mistakes.
The circus's lions and tigers didn't seem to be there; only goats, monkeys, and parrots were present. "I think the foreman can control that crazy supervisor," Xia Yingnuan expressed her thoughts.
Ning Hanqi's eyebrows curved slightly, "I think so too."
Then she praised Xia Yingnuan and said, "Well done."
Over in the office, the supervisor and the foreman were arguing quietly. How long could the foreman endure this? A supervisor like this, who was beyond his control, must have completely stepped into the foreman's trap, right?
I don’t know how much longer the foreman can endure this.
Breakfast time was gradually coming to an end. Ning Hanqi had been keeping an eye on the girl she met yesterday, and observing whether there were any other guests who looked similar to that girl. Unfortunately, she did not see that girl, nor did she meet any similar guests.
With 15 minutes left before the meals were served, a figure came jogging and fell to the ground in front of Ning Hanqi's reception desk, panting.
"Is there any food left?" The girl who came late was the same one from yesterday.
"Yes." Ning Hanqi took her room card.
While she was checking the room card, the girl complained to her about the bad luck that had happened to her that morning, with problems here and accidents there.
"I have to say that the service in your hotel is really good. Although I did so many stupid things, your staff were very patient in helping me deal with them. I will definitely give you a good review later!" The girl smiled with her white teeth showing.
Hearing her say this, Ning Hanqi knew that it was other players who took action. The player who did this was quite capable. The girl was sold and had to help him count the money.
This girl was the last guest to arrive. After she went in, breakfast time was about to end. Ning Hanqi locked the main door and only opened the small door on the side for the guest to leave.
When most of the other "people" had left and the girl was almost done eating, Ning Hanqi came to her table with a guest feedback form and took the opportunity to talk to her.
Ning Hanqi had a face that easily let people down, and with a little bit of rhetoric, the girl quickly told him the purpose of her trip, her company, and some random things without any defense.
The girl is one of the persons in charge of the company that organized this meeting. Their company planned that the meeting would last until the 19th, and there was no plan to change it so far. The girl would leave with her colleagues in the company, which means they would not leave until the 19th.
So how did she escape that disaster? Or did her plans change?
Ning Hanqi added the girl's WeChat under the pretext of confirming the meal time and menu. The other party didn't doubt it and gave it to him without saying a word.
The girl really liked posting on WeChat Moments, and in a short while she updated several times. Ning Hanqi really liked this habit of hers, as it made it easier for him to understand her movements.
"Xiao Ning! What are you daydreaming about? Didn't you hear the phone ringing?" Sister Yang shouted from a distance.
It was the office phone that rang. The supervisor and foreman should have been there, but no one answered.
The customers who called at this time were usually those who wanted their meals delivered. Sister Yang hadn't finished her work yet, so she assigned Ning Hanqi to go.
When Ning Hanqi walked into the office, she found it was pitch black inside and out. The supervisor and foreman seemed to be away. She turned on the light, but found that the caller ID on the landline phone was *******
This is a call that cannot be answered.
Ning Hanqi had a bad feeling in her heart and immediately planned to turn around and leave, but suddenly a shadow loomed behind her.
"Why aren't you answering the phone?" the supervisor's sinister voice sounded, "Didn't Xiao Yang tell you? You absolutely cannot miss any calls during work! Especially from customers!"
The temperature around Ning Hanqi suddenly dropped. The coat she wore outside could no longer block the gloomy chill. Her hands and feet were frozen stiff and she could hardly move.
She was in a dilemma, with her supervisor threatening her in front of her and a phone call that was written in the rules and was not allowed to be answered behind her.
"Come on, is your hand broken?" The supervisor's eyes rolled around, finally landing on her hands. A hint of jealousy appeared on his face. "Pretty hands, but if they can't even do this little work, they might as well be broken."
The supervisor looked very upset and emotionally unstable. Suddenly, he grinned and patted Ning Hanqi's shoulder with an understanding look, saying, "I know you're new to the job and you're a little hesitant to answer the phone. Let me help you."
It stretched out its hand, and just as its fingertips were about to touch the phone, the ringing stopped the next second.
The supervisor was stunned for a moment. Wasn't it time yet? Then, unconvinced, he picked up the phone and listened. He heard nothing. So, he put the receiver down and followed the line. Sure enough,...
The end of the telephone line was cut off by "someone"!
The supervisor's face turned pale, and then he looked at Ning Hanqi grimly.
Ning Hanqi immediately revealed an innocent look. She was just an ordinary human, how could she possibly cut the phone line right under her supervisor's nose? Besides, this phone line wasn't something an ordinary human could just cut.
Although she has told all the parrots to "shut up", the goats and monkeys have already arrived and it seems they will not leave easily. The sign says that players can ignore them and wait for the goats and monkeys to leave on their own.
Xia Yingnuan recalled the monkeys she'd stumbled upon on a mountain while watching a video. If the clown's monkeys were played that way, could players truly live in peace? And then there was that black goat. In some cultures, goats are a symbol of evil, a sentiment that seemed to fit the context of the dungeon, so Xia Yingnuan had to be extra cautious.
Ning Hanqi couldn't see the goat and monkey from Xia Yingnuan's perspective. They looked exactly the same, and when they walked side by side, she really couldn't tell which one was real and which one was fake. But she would soon be able to tell them apart, because the real pair was more lively and more "human".
The monkeys stood on the goat's back and controlled the direction by grabbing its horns. Even without the parrot giving orders, they came to the player.
Xia Yingnuan was sitting right next to the aisle, so she made her presence known in case the two animals wanted to do anything to Ning Hanqi.
I don’t know if the monkey was really afraid of Xia Yingnuan who was sitting in the back row. It made the goat stop next to the players in the front row and didn’t move forward. The players in front of Xia Yingnuan didn’t react at all. Maybe they thought that the monkey and the goat were still illusions?
Sure enough, something happened the next second.
The monkey reached out and grabbed the hair of the player in the row in front of Xia Yingnuan, and pulled hard, pulling the player off the seat.
The unsuspecting person fell to the ground. Even though the noise in movies was quite loud nowadays, the player tried hard not to make a sound, but the noise of his fall still startled other spectators nearby.
The movie just reached its climax when a large monster that had been lurking around humans for a long time climbed onto the ship under the cover of night. The protagonist and his group were targeted and began to escape in the hull.
A tentacle of the monster flew over. To the player, it was just an illusion and there was no need to dodge. The player who was dragged to the ground by the monkey also felt the same way, and then he was knocked away by the tentacle.
His head hit the wall and stars flew in front of his eyes. Although he felt dizzy and didn't know what was going on, the 11 dungeons had trained him to run away when faced with danger.
The monkeys and sheep were making shrill, squeaking sounds of laughter. Some people subconsciously held their breath and looked at the movie screen with a little horror. Ning Hanqi's expression also darkened slightly.
The player who just made the noise entered the movie and became one of the people being chased by the monster, while the "mischievous" monkey and goat were not harmed at all.
Watching the people in the movie fleeing in a panic, the monkey clapped its hands happily. However, after a while, it seemed to have no interest in the people in the movie, and its attention fell on the remaining players.
Xia Yingnuan was stuck in the very edge of the second row. Animals have a strong instinct to seek profit and avoid harm, so they didn't dare to move forward when they saw her sinister and terrifying eyes. So the next unlucky person was the player in the front row of Ning Hanqi.
It’s...Zhuang Meng.
Because the players' seats were arranged by a machine, Zhuang Meng was unable to sit next to the sea hare this time. Without the little princess to shelter her from the wind and rain, she had to rely on herself.
Zhuang Meng sighed in her heart. From today on, she decided to hate monkeys, especially monkeys without a sense of boundaries.
Ning Hanqi felt that it should not be difficult for Zhuang Meng to solve the current predicament, so he did nothing.
“Sizzle!”
The ghosts in the movie were destroying the hull, and all kinds of roars came from all directions, with a faint sound of electric current being well hidden.
"Squeak!" The monkey and the goat screamed at the same time. The noise they made did not attract the attention of other ghosts, so no other spectators looked at them.
A goat and a monkey were electrocuted into two black balls, and they fell to the ground and twitched for a long time. The goat seemed to be stronger but not very smart. After it woke up, it fled around with the monkey in its mouth as if in a state of stress, but it couldn't find the exit of the cinema.
After a while, the monkey was awakened by the shake. It climbed back onto the goat's back, screaming, and the goat's horns controlled it and returned to the player's side. This time it was scared by the electric shock, so it stayed several meters away from Zhuang Meng. However, monkeys are creatures with strong revenge, and it was unwilling to leave like this.
"laugh!"
Just when Zhuang Meng was thinking about hitting the monkey again, the door of the room where the protagonist of the movie was was broken open by the monster's tentacles. Under the cover of the sound, there seemed to be something strange not far away. Then the monkey and the goat fell to the ground with a bang. There was a big gash in their bodies, but no blood flowed out. It was obvious who did it.
Zhuang Meng turned around and glanced at Xia Yingnuan, winked at her, and then mouthed the word "thank you".
Xia Yingnuan suddenly felt her palm being pinched hard. It didn't hurt, but there was an indescribable sense of danger.
She glared back at Zhuang Meng, then cautiously poked Ning Hanqi's hand, her eyes pleading for mercy.
Ning Hanqi didn't say anything. After a long while, she rubbed Xia Yingnuan's palm, meaning that she didn't care anymore.
"You only have the finishing touches left on your work, it's not too much trouble, so just rest assured. As for the raincoat, I'll find a way to get it back." If there were no raincoats in the department, it would be very troublesome to go out, and no one knew whether the madman in Room 516, Building 2... no, to be more precise, the liar would order a midnight snack at night.
Jiang Man closed her eyes and nodded with difficulty. Tears rolled down her eyes, making her look particularly pitiful.
"Ningning, how many clues do you have about how to get out?" When Ning Hanqi was about to leave, Jiang Man suddenly grabbed her hand with all his strength.
"...The girl in Room 505, Building 1, should be the key clue. There are other guests like her in this hotel, but they're most likely a trap. I just recently confirmed that the car they were riding in last night was fake. They'll be back tomorrow morning. They've been absent from work for a day without reason, and their fate will be terrible when they return."
After hearing Ning Hanqi's last words, Jiang Man felt cold all over and shivered involuntarily.
Fortunately, it was difficult to ask for leave because their supervisor was a fussy person, otherwise she would have become one of that group of people. By the way, Sun Peng was the most active in the group at the beginning, and actively encouraged other players to leave together. However, when it was really time to leave, he encountered many problems and was ultimately unable to leave.
