Finally, I learned from the waiter that the owner of the hotel is the old woman, the son is the chef of the hotel, and the daughter-in-law is taking the infant child and helping by the way.
A family of four and the waiters all live on the third floor. The second floor is the accommodation for the guests, with a total of five rooms.
"These rooms are for two people. The bathroom and toilet are at the end of the corridor. The last room is broken. You'd better not open it." The waiter said.
Everyone was stunned, thinking about it and knowing that the bad room was not very good.
Of course, although the waiter's attitude towards Gu Wuji is a little better than others, she doesn't say everything. She only speaks out the information that the player could have gotten, and it's hard to figure out the rest.
"I want to ask if something bad has happened here, or is there anything strange?" Gu Wuji knew that there was no hope in his heart, but he still asked tentatively.
The waiter's face changed suddenly, and then he frowned and said, "It's nothing, don't think about it, just stay. Also, the last door must not be opened."
After speaking, she hurried downstairs.
Everyone knew at a glance that this attitude was obviously what happened here, but from the waiter's mouth, it was estimated that there was nothing more to come out of it.
When the eight players were separated, two girls were in one room, and a couple lived in one room. The rest were all men, so they all found someone they had just met. After all, at this time, who was the trust outsiders.
Peng Haocang looked at Gu Wuji with an apologetic expression, "Because someone else asked me for help, you have to settle with the others tonight."
"It doesn't matter." Gu Wuji doesn't care at all, he is not the kind of person who can't do it without others.
Along with Gu Wuji was a very timid-looking young man named Sun Shi, who had been trembling ever since he arrived here, as if he had been terrified to the extreme. No one wants to share a room with someone who is holding him back at first sight, so in the end they can only settle with Gu Wuji.
The facilities of the hotel are very shabby, and there is nothing in a room except for two beds. The lights are not only extremely dim, but also flicker from time to time, as if it will not last the next moment.
Sun Shi originally wanted to talk to Gu Wuji to be brave, but Gu Wuji fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow, leaving him dumbfounded.
…
When it was late at night, Gu Wuji vaguely heard a voice, opened his eyes slowly, and a terrifying scene appeared in front of him.
In the dark room, all the pictures were eerily clear. Sun Shi, who was sleeping on the opposite bed, was being dragged by a shadow. His face was extremely frightened, but he couldn't make a sound, not even his body. Can't move.
Gu Wuji suddenly woke up, he clearly felt that the ghost on the opposite side was a low-level ghost without a clear mind, and he directly used the ghost control ability he had obtained.
Although it is very advanced, after all, the object of control is only a mindless low-level ghost, and the orders that can be issued are not very advanced. At most, it is to ask the other party to change direction or leave.
Sun Shi, who had already thought that he was sure to die, found that the ghost who grabbed him slammed, and the next moment, his figure dissipated.
Sun Shi, who escaped from death, gasped for a few breaths, but his body still lacked strength. He was completely unable to move like a ghost on the bed, so he could only look at Gu Wuji with gratitude.
After Gu Wuji used the ability for a moment, he clearly felt that his ability had entered the cooldown time, and he would have to wait for a while before using it again. However, after this time, he could still feel a slight increase in his abilities.
Maybe it can be upgraded after using it a few times.
Gu Wuji knew that the other rooms must not be very calm at this time, but his ability was limited, and he could only care about the person in front of him. Rushing to save other people will only start the fire and set fire to himself. He is still very clear about this kind of thing.
He slowly walked to the bed next door, looked down at Sun Shi on the bed, put his index finger to his mouth, and said softly, "Go to sleep. It's alright."
It was obvious that it was extremely dangerous just now, but when he heard Gu Wuji's words, Sun Shi really felt a sense of peace of mind in the panic, and quickly fell asleep.
…
The next day, the two woke up to the woman's screams.
After Gu Wuji got up, he saw Sun Shi next to him looking at him with a respectful look at his eldest brother.
When Sun Shi woke up, he understood that Gu Wuji must have rescued him yesterday! Immediately, he swore in his heart that he would do nothing but follow suit.
Gu Wuji nodded at the other party, telling him not to tell him what happened last night, Sun Shi nodded desperately.
After all, Gu Wuji also knew very well that if this kind of thing spread out, it would definitely not end well, and he was still very clear in this regard. However, if he can save other people, he will definitely take action, provided that other people do not commit suicide.
The two of them tidied up casually and walked out.
A female player stood in the corridor with a terrified face, and said to the other players in a panic, "The person sleeping on the bed next to me has disappeared! There must be a ghost in this room!"
"Don't worry too much." When Peng Haocang spoke, everyone felt at ease. "Maybe she just woke up early and went down to eat breakfast?"
"No, no, I know." The female player shook her head frantically, "She was taken away by a ghost, there are traces of her struggle on the bed, and the sheets were scratched, how could it be possible if she was alone?! "
Everyone looked at the opened door, and the bed inside was really messy, and it made people feel numb.
More than one person disappeared, and the other couple's wife was no longer there.
The crowd felt horrified.
These are two living people who disappeared without a sound, not even knowing why they died.
Originally there were only eight players, but now there are two less. Can they really last for four days
At this time, a waiter came up and asked everyone to go down for breakfast.
Although everyone was in a panic, they had to eat, so they went downstairs and gathered around the table again. Peng Haocang was already the boss of the group at this time, comforting the crying woman constantly, and it took a long time to calm the other party's mood.
The waiter didn't care about the pale faces of the guests at all, and swiftly placed the food on the table. Still the same tempting aroma as yesterday, every dish is mouth-watering.
And after the meat dish was served, the woman who had just been emotionally stable, clearly saw that there was a tattoo-like pattern on the roast pork in front of her... It was the body of the female companion who was in the same room yesterday—
Her face changed suddenly, and a scream came out of her mouth, and the person retreated in a panic, and fell directly to the ground, her hands still pointing in the direction of the flesh and her body trembled constantly.
"Yes, it's her, she... she's there!"
The others turned pale when they heard this.
"what happened?"
"The tattoo on that piece of meat... the girl in the same room as me yesterday!" The woman's body was stiff to the extreme.
After hearing this, the expressions of the others changed drastically, realizing that they were afraid that they might not have eaten human flesh yesterday, and their stomachs rolled over, and several of them immediately vomited out uncontrollably.
The man who had been stimulated by the death of his girlfriend was now even more frantic. He rushed to the counter and grabbed the collar of the old woman inside, "I don't care what you are, don't think you can scare you like this. When it comes to us, even if you want to die, I will kill you first!"
"Wait—" Peng Haocang immediately got up to stop the opponent, but maybe he moved too late, and the youth's fist was about to fall.
But just when there was only a little gap between the fist and the face, the young man's body froze, and the next moment, the body exploded from the inside.
Everyone else stared at this terrifying scene in amazement. Peng Haocang sighed, "Generally, it is forbidden to do anything to the personnel inside such a copy, otherwise it will become like this."
Of course, that's only for the time when these people are not dangerous. If the other party turns into a ghost or reveals some identity, then of course they can do it at will.
However, Peng Haocang wouldn't give out all the correct answers at this time, and sometimes it would be easier to deceive others if he only told half of the truth.
The waiters in the hotel went up to clean up as if they were not surprised.
The woman who was frightened before could not continue to eat, she retched and went upstairs to rest. Although the other people's stomachs are not very comfortable, they can only bite the bullet and eat bland white rice-they dare not continue to eat the meat here.
Only Gu Wuji looked as if nothing had happened, as if what happened just now had no impact on him at all.
After all, he has seen pictures that are more serious than this since he was a child. What is this, it is obviously very daily.
After everyone finished their breakfast, the sound of the system suddenly sounded.
[Trigger main quest: Investigate what happened in this old hotel. ]
Peng Haocang immediately stood up and clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, "Don't worry everyone, although it's a pity that someone dies, it's also a normal thing, we still investigate the hotel and find clues to complete the main quest. ."
Then he looked at everyone, "Would anyone like to go to the kitchen with me?"
The others were silent for a while. After all, the food on their table came from the kitchen. If they went in, they would be killed if they were not careful. Who would have the courage to stand up
"Let me go with you." Gu Wuji stood up directly, "I also really want to finish the main quest quickly."
Everyone looked at Gu Wuji with a bit of surprise. If nothing happened yesterday, they just thought that Gu Wuji was too rough. But three people have already died today, and they are willing to stand up regardless of the plan, and they feel that the other party is really a courageous person.
Peng Haocang smiled, the fear in his eyes increased a little. But he originally planned to let Gu Wuji go with him. Even if Gu Wuji didn't come by himself, there was a way to get him to come. Now it's easier.
This kitchen is an extremely dangerous place, and he can also test this reckless method there, and maybe he can force him to use his life-saving trump card.
…
As soon as the two entered the kitchen, a strong bloody smell hit the nostrils, making it difficult for people to breathe, and the exposed body also felt a chill, which was very slow.
And the kitchen only has a tiny vent at the top, and the interior is completely illuminated by lighting, but the lighting is as dim as everywhere else, and the whole space is full of cramped feelings.
A man of five or three stature held a sharp kitchen knife in his hand, and kept cutting something, making a tingling sound that made his scalp tingle, and both of them could only see his back.
On the side was a woman sitting and holding a baby. She was still peeling something in her hand. She noticed the two coming in, and her black and white eyes stared straight at it.
When Peng Haocang remembered the news he had received, his scalp tingled for a while.
But at this moment, Gu Wuji suddenly stepped forward.
Peng Haocang's heart suddenly jumped, and countless thoughts ran through his mind. Could it be that Gu Wuji is finally going to start at this time? Is he trying to provoke the female ghost and threaten himself
Peng Haocang was shocked by his own brain tonic, and his body also retreated slightly. His body was extremely tense. If there was any danger, he could leave at any time. Looking at Gu Wuji's back was like seeing some terrible opponent.
Then Gu Wuji's voice rang out.
"Eldest sister, it's so hard to carry the child, so don't be so tired, let me help you."
Gu Wuji not only has a sincere tone, but also looks at the woman with a kind of sympathy and a strong passion for wanting to do good things.
Peng Haocang: "??"
woman:"??"
