Chapter 71 Chapter 71 Bubble Hot Spring Hotel 7
Chen Xinyi and Wei Hong felt cold all over in this room.
Why, why on earth?
The two of them left the room and sat on the sofa in the living room, looking at each other.
"Sister Hong, did you hear anything last night?" Chen Xinyi asked.
Wei Hong shook her head. "I just woke up this morning. I haven't slept this soundly in a long time."
The two of them thought carefully about the experience of the four of them together yesterday. Since they were a family group, whether it was checking in, having lunch, dinner, or taking a hot spring bath, the four of them almost always acted together.
"I thought about it, and it seems that the only time we were separated was in the changing room when we went to the hot springs."
"Then it was last night." Chen Xinyi recalled for a while.
The hotel's outdoor hot spring area has a changing room and shower area on the first floor, opposite to the indoor area. They brought their swimsuits from the room and changed in the changing room.
"Did they do something in the locker room that aroused suspicion? But we changed clothes very quickly, and it took almost no time. Lao Luo and Jia Jun didn't say anything." Wei Hong frowned.
"That shouldn't be the case. If they did something that aroused the suspicion of the hotel staff, then we would both be in trouble as well," said Chen Xinyi.
"Then, what else could it be?"
The food is almost the same, the swimsuits and swimming trunks are all prepared for the dungeon, and the hot spring pools that you enter when completing the mission together are also the same.
That... leaves only last night.
"Did they not sleep last night?" Chen Xinyi knocked on the coffee table.
"There seems to be something wrong with this hotel bed. For us, no matter how comfortable a bed is, we shouldn't sleep on it so carelessly."
The two were talking, but everything was just their guess. If there were traces left in the room, they could still observe, but now it was so clean that it looked like no one had ever lived there, and there was no clue at all.
Because of the disappearance of their teammates, Wei Hong and Chen Xinyi felt heavy-hearted and could only cheer themselves up and continue to remain 120% vigilant.
"Sister Hong, let's change our clothes and have dinner first. The dead cannot be resurrected." Chen Xinyi sighed.
"I'll go to the restaurant later to see if I can wait for other players and keep an eye on them."
For now, this is all we can do.
Breakfast at the Bubble Hot Spring Hotel starts at seven o'clock. Because the two male players have disappeared, Chen Xinyi and Wei Hong don't want to stay in the suite for the time being, so they change their clothes, grab their bags and go downstairs.
Coincidentally, the other two groups of players also came at this time to wait for breakfast.
Li Ying held Cheng Lixue's hand and walked over when she saw Chen Xinyi and the others.
"Thank you for yesterday. Thanks to your help in buying food, my girlfriend recovered from her low blood sugar."
He took the initiative to greet them, glancing at the two ladies with a hint of doubt as to why the other two male players were not there.
"How much is the money for yesterday's food? Can I transfer it to you?"
"Oh, no need. It's a small matter. I've suffered from hypoglycemia before when I was losing weight. It was only when a passerby stuffed a mouthful of food into my mouth that I recovered." Chen Xinyi waved her hand.
Four people stood nearby, exchanging greetings in a somewhat awkward manner.
"The restaurant is open, let's go in."
"There aren't many people in the morning, so find a good seat."
The breakfast is very rich, with a variety of Chinese and Western cakes, fried eggs, steamed eggs, scrambled eggs, freshly cooked noodles, tofu pudding, etc.
The players sat down again in the same seats as yesterday, with three tables spaced out. The restaurant wasn't empty at this hour, but there was enough space for conversations to be heard. Cheng Lixue casually said, "Sister Luo from the next table didn't come for breakfast. I was going to ask her about renting an apartment."
Hearing Cheng Lixue's words, the four players in the friend group and the only two remaining players in the family group pricked up their ears.
Sister Luo, rent a house.
WTF! These four words put together, aren’t they the aboriginal Luo Qing mentioned in the forum?
Li Ying also looked towards the dining table next to the French window. "They just went to the hot springs last night. I wonder what time they stayed there. I guess they haven't woken up yet."
Both of them deliberately turned their heads and looked at the seat where Luo Qing and his wife had sat yesterday.
Last night, Li Ying and Cheng Lixue were still privately sighing that they had met at noon, and all three groups of players had seen Luo Qing.
But, as guests dining in the cafeteria, who would introduce themselves? And yet, they missed each other, and everyone met without knowing each other.
After the fake couple finished talking, they continued eating, as if they had just expressed their feelings a few times.
Chen Xinyi took a sip of soy milk. She and Wei Hong sat face to face, and Wei Hong's hands were still shaking.
Wei Hong looked at the table in front of her which was temporarily empty. She was scooping a spoonful of tofu pudding into her mouth.
Luo Qing was sitting at that table yesterday, so, that must be the beautiful lady who asked the waiter for sugar-free desserts for her yesterday!
Wei Hong held her breath at this moment. This was a perfect miss! Why didn't she think of asking what his name was?
"Sister Hong." Chen Xinyi spoke softly. She also sat with her back to the table yesterday. She only remembered that there was a young couple sitting at the table behind her, but she didn't pay much attention to their appearance.
"I remember. I talked to her yesterday." Wei Hong whispered.
There was joy in the eyes of both of them. After recognizing Luo Qing and knowing what he looked like, they could find a way to get him a business card.
The four friends did the same, trying their best to suppress the excitement on their faces.
"Does anyone know what the table looked like yesterday?" Ling Yunzhi asked.
"I have some impression of them. Handsome guys and beautiful girls, but I can't describe them in words. Luo Qing must have been wearing a light green long skirt yesterday." Pan Yan said.
"But she may not wear it today, but if I see her, I should be able to recognize her," said Tong Yawen.
After breakfast——
The players all went to the outdoor hot spring bathing area. As if by accident, two or three of them entered different nearby hot spring pools, exchanging information quickly and in low voices.
After the ordeal of the first day, today they were able to pretend that "everything was normal" no matter what happened while taking a hot spring bath.
Through this simple meeting and communication in the outdoor bathing area, the three groups of players finally got to know each other's recent situation.
The disappearance of the two players in the family group made the remaining eight people feel gloomy. They didn't know the reason, but they had no way to go to the room to investigate openly.
What's more, with the strange copy method, since the two players have disappeared "completely", the room is probably refreshed and nothing can be found.
After completing the basic tasks of soaking in the hot spring pool and tasting hot spring delicacies, Li Ying and Cheng Lixue went to the hotel swimming pool, pretending to be a boyfriend teaching his girlfriend how to swim, and quietly completed the pool water sampling and observation and experience evaluation of the swimming pool.
They hurriedly finished their swim, took a quick shower and went back to their room to change clothes. It was almost time for lunch.
Li Ying swiped the room card to open the door. Cheng Lixue was about to step in when he grabbed her and pulled her behind him.
Cheng Lixue was stunned and covered her mouth immediately. Li Ying slowly opened the door and looked inside the room.
Inside the room, the originally messy bed has been tidied, the bathrobe thrown on the sofa has been hung up, a sealed fruit plate has been added to the coffee table, all the used toiletries in the bathing area have been replaced, and the garbage has been cleaned up.
"It seems like the housekeeping lady came to clean up." He did not miss any place he saw and began to check again.
The central air conditioning was turned on, and Li Ying and Cheng Lixue tested the lights one by one, checking them one by one without getting tired of it.
Soon, Li Ying sniffed and looked at Cheng Lixue.
"Xiaoxue, do you smell anything?"
Cheng Lixue sniffed carefully, "There's aromatherapy in the bathing area, but the air from the air conditioner does seem to have a bit of a smell."
If Brother Li hadn't said it, she really wouldn't have felt anything.
"Shh." Li Ying made a shushing gesture to her, and Cheng Lixue immediately shut up. The two of them listened to the movements in the room in silence.
He raised his head and clearly saw dense water droplets appearing on the air outlet of the central air conditioner.
The central air conditioner was dripping, and he checked it three times yesterday and again this morning but still couldn't find it!
Li Ying's eyelids twitched. Why were there suddenly tears dripping out of nowhere?
He walked to the room phone, quickly called the front desk, reported the current situation, and requested a new room.
The problem with the central air conditioning is a detail issue of the facilities, but he made a phone call to report it. For the hotel, this is the handling of a customer issue, which can be used to evaluate the hotel's response speed and handling capabilities, which is also part of the hotel experience officer's job.
"Brother Li, what do you think is going on?" Cheng Lixue asked in a low voice.
Li Ying shook her head. "It's hard to say."
Although he had some guesses in his mind, he didn't dare to draw a conclusion.
Six minutes later, the room was knocked on by the housekeeping manager. After entering the room to check the situation, a male housekeeping manager apologized sincerely: "We are very sorry for the bad experience you two guests have had. The hotel's engineering department will come to inspect and repair it next."
"We currently have rooms available. As an apology, we'd like to offer you a free upgrade to the top floor's luxurious private bath room with a view. We'd also like to invite you to enjoy our limited afternoon tea. Here's a coupon for the afternoon tea set. Is that okay with you, my dear guests?"
The room manager's attitude was excellent. He first apologized, then gave compensation, and even gifts. It can be said that he was full of sincerity, which exceeded Li Ying's imagination!
Were the Aboriginal workers in the hotel also so polite? Or did he doubt their identities and therefore come up with such a perfect solution?
"Okay, let's pack up. The air conditioner was working fine yesterday and this morning. I don't know why it became like this after I was out for the whole morning." Li Ying continued to test.
The housekeeping manager's face still wore an apologetic expression, and his tone contained resignation. "I don't know the guest either. We need the engineering department to investigate the cause. The hotel has a large flow of guests, and the various equipment always wears out faster."
"Come, I'll help you two with your luggage and take you upstairs."
Ten minutes later, the two of them checked into a luxury room on the sixth floor. They didn't need to go downstairs to get their room cards and personal information re-entered by the room manager. In addition to fruits, they were also served freshly squeezed juice.
Cheng Lixue looked at the freshly acquired afternoon tea voucher and said, "With this, we now have one more item to review, Brother Li?"
She looked at Li Ying, who was lying on the tiles in the bathing area, checking something.
"Xiaoxue, have you ever thought about a question?"
"What?" Cheng Lixue asked.
Li Ying had already stood up and pushed his glasses. "The air conditioner in our room suddenly leaked. Could other rooms have similar problems? What would happen if others didn't check as carefully as we did, or if they checked too many times, were perfunctory, and missed something?"
Cheng Lixue was stunned, her eyes fixed, and she slowly said, "Brother Li, are you saying that Sister Chen and her group are in this situation for this reason?"
"We are first-level guests, and second-level hotel experience officers. Simply put, we come to this hotel for an unannounced inspection. If we encounter any problems, we must record them, and we must also take the initiative to create problems and cause trouble for the hotel. This is our job responsibility."
Li Ying emphasized the word "job responsibilities".
He stood under the shower again, reached out and touched it little by little to carefully check if there was any possible leak.
Cheng Lixue walked over. "So, if we find any problems, we must deal with them immediately. Is that what you mean? The indigenous guests can ignore them, but we can't."
Li Ying nodded, "That's right."
"I guess they probably overlooked something. Or maybe they discovered the problem but didn't contact the hotel right away."
"Many people stay in hotels, sometimes for a day or two, going out during the day and staying overnight. If they encounter minor problems, they just think they can make do with it."
"But this is a dungeon. The ladies who were bathing with me in the hot springs could easily pick off their heads. We saw water leaking from the air conditioner during the day, but at night it might turn into blood or something else. It's dangerous if we don't solve it."
Li Ying was always willing to speculate with the utmost malice. "Yesterday, almost all of us were focused on the outdoor hot springs and the food we needed. Shocked and exhausted, they might have noticed something small but ignored it, or perhaps were too careless to notice it."
Cheng Lixue took a deep breath at this moment. She suddenly realized something, and even her voice trembled:
"Brother Li, I understand."
"The scare we experienced in the outdoor hot spring yesterday was actually caused by the indigenous people, not the danger of the replica itself. There is no danger in the hot spring."
"On the contrary, the room is dangerous. The room that has not been thoroughly inspected and has any problems is the most dangerous."
"During the day, we're busy going out to do various tasks, going to hot springs, restaurants, and swimming pools. We put almost all our energy and attention outside. When we return to the room, we may lack energy and just take a quick look!"
What players see in the outdoor hot springs, such as beheading and boiling human heads, is nothing more than a visual and psychological shock.
The real danger lies within the room! Any facility that might have problems is a dangerous source of life-threatening danger!
While eating at the buffet at noon, the two complained in the restaurant about the sudden leakage of the central air-conditioning. They had no choice but to change rooms, hinting to other players.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, they left the room and walked into the elevator, and they heard someone calling behind them.
"Hey, wait a minute."
Luo Qing was wearing a long off-shoulder dress, and she met the young couple's eyes with surprise.
"You guys live on the sixth floor too?"
A young couple who can afford to spend money to book a top-floor suite in a hot spring hotel must be from a well-off family and most likely will not rent a house in Ping An Home.
"The air conditioner in our room was leaking, so we were given a room upgrade and just moved in." Cheng Lixue smiled embarrassedly, feeling excited in her heart.
Met it! Met it again! This afternoon tea time is two and a half hours, she must try her best to hug the thigh!
