19 New Leader
◎If you want to live, do it◎
Qi Qiuxue's strange behavior attracted the attention of other players.
"What are you doing?" Shen Wei has always been wary of outsiders. Ever since Dong Peng killed Wang Shuo, this wariness has deepened.
She didn't know why Qi Qiuxue entered her room, and her eyes followed her unconsciously. Seeing Qi Qiuxue checking several rooms in succession, her brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
Seeing this, Shen Wei asked again: "What on earth are you..."
Before he could finish his words, Qi Qiuxue suddenly raised her hand, grabbed the lamppost of the wall lamp, and twisted it hard.
With a "click", the originally plain wall slowly caved in, and the shape of a door appeared on it.
Sure enough, there is a hidden world inside this hotel. In the dark, in a place that is difficult for everyone to realize, there are countless unknown spaces hidden.
Qi Qiuxue took a deep breath and opened the door amid the surprise and exclamations of the players.
When the door opened, an extremely unpleasant smell came out. The room was dark and messy, but upon closer inspection, it was found that it was fully equipped with tables, chairs, beds, and cabinets. Various daily necessities were placed on the table, and it was obvious that someone had lived there for a long time.
Qi Qiuxue also saw several masks on the bed and some replaced but unwashed clothes. The identity of the person living inside was obvious.
"Ugh!" Some players with poor psychological endurance leaned over and started retching the moment they stepped into the door. It was not only because of the unpleasant smell inside, but more importantly, it was not until now that they finally discovered this extremely secret yet terrifying fact.
It turned out that these masked figures had always lived with them, even though they had to go out for sacrifice every night. But what about before that? When everyone had already fallen asleep and was sound asleep, would these masked figures cling to the wall like dark crawling worms, motionless, listening to their breathing and their whispers?
"Be careful." Qi Qiuxue covered her nose with her hand and turned back to remind the other players, "Be careful not to leave any traces, so as not to alert the enemy!"
"Oh." The retching player responded reluctantly, turned around and ran outside to adjust his mood. He felt that Qi Qiuxue was simply not a normal person. She had no reaction at all when seeing such a scene.
Only after he had recovered enough did he finally come back in.
Qi Qiuxue has already started the inspection. This room is located on the second floor. Like other rooms, there is a door near the corridor that leads to the outside, but the difference is that there is more than one door in the room.
The place where the window should have been was replaced by a small door, which opened to a staircase leading to the outside of the first floor.
This also explains why there are not many houses outside the hotel, as if not many people can live in them, but at one o'clock every night, there seem to be so many more people going to worship. It turns out that there are still many masked people living in the hotel, and they all left in this way.
Qi Qiuxue roughly recalled the time each time she heard footsteps. Except for the time when Liu Dawei went out, they were basically heard around dawn. She thought it must be the end of the sacrifice, and the masked man hurried back in the wind and rain, changing his clothes and shoes that were wet by the rain, but he refused to go to sleep and had to run to the corridor to act like a ghost.
What about the water stains? Was it rainwater that was not wiped away in time, or...
Qi Qiuxue noticed the wardrobe with the strongest smell and slowly opened it. After a few seconds, she looked at the other trembling players and said, "Don't come over here."
Zhang Xin's expression became serious: "What's wrong?"
Qi Qiuxue murmured softly, "I think I found Liu Dawei's body."
As soon as these words were spoken, Geng Hao and Dong Peng, who were about to step forward to show off, stopped at the same time.
Zhang Xin's stomach churned at the thought, especially after the cabinet door opened, as the unpleasant smell became even more intense. However, she had experienced several dungeons, so after a moment, she continued to ask, "What is the current condition of Liu Dawei's body?"
Qi Qiuxue closed the cabinet door again, calmed herself down a bit, and then answered Zhang Xin's question: "There are no eyeballs, no skin, and there's almost no flesh left on the body. Judging from the marks left, it looks like it was bitten."
Zhang Xin's eyes widened when he heard this: "What...you mean his body is about to be eaten?"
Qi Qiuxue nodded in response: "Yeah."
After he finished speaking, several players rushed out of the room and started retching again.
It was already half past two. To be on the safe side, they had to collect more evidence before five o'clock. One person's strength was not enough. Qi Qiuxue looked up at everyone and asked, "Do you want to live together?"
Zhang Xin understood what she meant: "Tell me, what should we do?"
"In the next two hours, I need you to explore these hidden spaces as much as possible and gather as many clues as possible," Qi Qiuxue said. "This is not only for me, but for all of you. If you want to survive, you have to do it."
She glanced at Geng Hao and Dong Peng's faces, knowing they weren't convinced. She wouldn't force them, but simply said, "Please supervise each other. Of course, everyone has the right to refuse to cooperate. I understand and respect your decision, but from now on, I won't share any clues I have with people like you."
"Whether you can survive or not is up to fate."
This may sound cold and heartless, but none of the players present dared to point it out, because everyone knew in their hearts that Qi Qiuxue was right, and in order to survive, they had to do as she said.
People's hearts quickly turned against them at this moment, and some players finally woke up. They had mistakenly believed that Geng Hao was the right leader. His seemingly gentle and confident appearance bewitched their minds, making them want to follow and support him. Even after they personally witnessed Geng Hao framing Wang Shuo, they had to brainwash themselves desperately in order to survive. In fact, what he did made sense, and such behavior was not wrong.
Until today.
"Okay, I'll do it!" Someone quickly agreed, and then more and more people agreed.
"Take me one!"
"Me too. My family is still waiting for me. I must stay alive. I am willing to listen to Zhang Xue!"
“…”
The atmosphere that had been silent for too long finally eased, and the despair, fear and tension were gradually broken by the desire to survive.
At this moment, a new leader is born.
