Gu Jiu took out the room card and swiped it in.
When the door opened, there was a dripping sound in the room, and then a light came on in the dark room.
Gu Jiu walked in and found that the curtains in the room were drawn. After the curtains were drawn, no light from outside could come in. Even in broad daylight, the room was as dark as night, which made people sigh that the curtains had a very good light-blocking effect.
The hotel room is not big, but it has a 1.8-meter bed and is fully equipped. Although it is not a high-end hotel, it is not too shabby either.
Gu Jiu was still somewhat satisfied. What she could not stand the most was the dirty and messy environment in the game world.
Although the bed is big, the daily necessities prepared for guests in the room are prepared for one person, so it is obviously a single room.
Gu Jiu looked around the room and didn't see anything unusual. Just like the waitress said, the hotel was newly built and everything was new. You could still smell the unique scent of a new house in the air, which was not a pleasant one at all.
Just as Gu Jiu was checking the room, there was a knock on the door.
"Ajiu, it's me."
It was Lu Ji's voice. Gu Jiu walked over to open the door and saw Lu Ji standing there. He smiled and asked, "Why are you here?"
Lu Ji walked in and said, "I just went to see the room. There's nothing to see."
In fact, he used the room card to open the door and casually glanced into the room before turning around and looking for him. The reason he came here in such a hurry was, of course, to confirm where he would stay tonight.
"Ajiu, I will sleep in the same room with you tonight."
When he said this, he was actually a little nervous, fearing that Gu Jiu would refuse. If she refused, he really had no reason to ask to live in the same room with her.
Gu Jiu could see his nervousness and asked, "Are you scared living alone?"
She couldn't think of any other reason except that she was afraid.
A girl of seventeen or eighteen would be scared to sleep alone in a place like this.
Lu Ji: This is a really good excuse!
So he confidently admitted that he was just afraid and wanted to sleep with her.
Gu Jiu has always been soft-hearted towards girls, especially pretty girls. Lu Ji's appearance appeals to her aesthetic taste, and he always looks sickly, so she can't help but want to accommodate him and can't bear to let him down.
But she didn't agree.
Why did the waitress ask each player to draw a room card? But she did not prevent the players from living together, and it seemed that it didn't matter whether the players lived in the room they drew or not.
Is it really okay
"It's okay, I can let the little paper man stay in the room instead of me." Lu Ji had even thought of a solution, otherwise he wouldn't have come over.
Gu Jiu: "...That's fine too."
Lu Ji’s little paper man is still trustworthy. Besides, no matter how powerful the ghosts in C-level games are, they are only limited, so there is a lot of room for maneuver.
When the two of them had discussed it, Wan Xingzhou also came over.
Seeing Lu Ji here, he was not surprised at all and said, "Sister Lu, are you staying here tonight? Is that a bad idea? I think the waitress asked each player to draw a room card because she wanted the players to stay in the room they drew. If the player is not in the room, will the death mechanism be triggered?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "It is indeed possible."
"That… "
"It doesn't matter. It's a good opportunity to see how many ghosts there are in this hotel and how lethal they are."
Wan Xingzhou: “…”Are all female players nowadays so tough
Looking at Gu Jiu's gentle smile and Lu Ji's calm appearance, Wan Xingzhou suddenly felt that he was a coward.
"Then I'll live with you too. I can sleep on the floor." He asked expectantly. He also wanted to live with the eldest lady. She made him feel so safe.
Lu Ji: “Get lost!” Go back to where you came from, wild man.
Wan Xingzhou was just saying that he was a grown man and it was too embarrassing for him to share a room with two girls. It would be great if he was a girl. He could share a room with girls openly.
Lu Ji once again discovered that it was necessary to remain hidden as a girl.
Wan Xingzhou walked around the room and said, "It seems that the rooms in the hotel are all of the same specifications, there is no difference." Then he asked, "Miss, what do you think of this mission?"
The players' task is to find the ghost.
It is "ghostly spirit" rather than "ghostly spirit".
The concept of vengeful spirits is easy to understand. They are nothing more than spirits formed by the resentment of people after death, which is similar to ghosts. But when these two words are reversed, it is a little confusing.
"I don't have any ideas right now." Gu Jiu said calmly, "We need to first find out the situation of the hotel, and how many ghosts and anomalies there are in the hotel, and what these ghosts and anomalies are..."
Wan Xingzhou nodded, "There is no set time limit for clearing the game this time. As long as those ghosts don't come out to kill people, we still have enough time."
After the three of them chatted about this task for a while, they decided to go out for a walk.
When leaving, Gu Jiu took a special look at the rooms where the other two players were staying on the sixth floor. The doors were closed, and he didn't know whether they were still in the room or had gone out to explore the environment.
They went to the first floor first.
There was no one on the first floor and the waitress was not at the counter.
Players are used to this. NPCs in the game world are notoriously elusive, and it is common for them to disappear or pop up suddenly.
The lobby on the first floor of the hotel occupies a very large area. They went around to the back of the lobby and found that it was the staff dormitory and warehouse, and there was nothing there.
The staff dormitory was empty, as if the employees had not yet moved in.
When I went to the warehouse again, I saw a lot of sealed cartons piled up. There were no labels on the cartons, so I had no idea what was inside.
Gu Jiu took out the dagger and was about to open a cardboard box to see what was inside when Wan Xingzhou said, "I'll do it, I'll do it. Leave this kind of thing to us men."
How could a young lady do such a thing? Of course it was her henchmen who came.
Gu Jiu stepped back with a smile and handed the job to him.
Wan Xingzhou took out his red sword and used it to cut the tape on the carton. When he opened the carton, he suddenly let out a cry.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Jiu and Lu Ji walked forward and looked into the carton. They found that the carton contained folded sheets and quilt covers. They looked new and had not been opened.
Wan Xingzhou stared at the carton, blinked for a long while, and said with a bitter face: "When I opened it just now, there were blood-stained sheets and quilts in the carton. The blood was almost turning black and red. It was scary. This is definitely not my illusion!"
In the gaming world, there are very few such things as illusions. If there are, they are definitely caused by unnatural forces.
This is also a reminder for players.
Neither Gu Jiu nor Lu Ji doubted his words, and then they opened a few more boxes. Except for the first time when Wan Xingzhou had an illusion, the rest were normal.
There were quite a few boxes in the warehouse, but they did not open them one by one. After finding that most of the things in the boxes were daily necessities used by the hotel, they paid no more attention to them and left the warehouse.
When they walked out of the warehouse, they met other players who were also there to check out the warehouse.
Gu Jiu nodded slightly at them, and they smiled back, expressing their goodwill.
In the gaming world, unless there is a huge hatred or conflict of life and death, players rarely become enemies. Most of them maintain a polite surface, keeping the caution and distance that strangers should have.
After leaving the warehouse, Gu Jiu looked at the sun outside the window, turned around and walked towards the gate.
Pushing open the door of the hotel, Gu Jiu walked down the stairs and walked around the periphery of the hotel.
Wan Xingzhou looked at it and muttered: "The sun is quite bright. From this perspective, this hotel is indeed very new... It's just that the landscaping here is not well done, and there are a lot of broken stones on the ground, as if it was built on wasteland..."
Gu Jiu looked down at the ground. Sparse weeds were growing tenaciously. The ground was covered with sand and stones, and the soil was not fertile at all. No wonder even weeds could not grow.
Suddenly, she paused and said, "Look, does this look like a bone?"
Lu Ji and Wan Xingzhou looked over and found a piece of bone half buried in the soil. It was so thin that they couldn't tell what kind of bone it was.
Wan Xingzhou used the red sword to dig the bone out of the soil. When he saw the whole bone, he said, "It's a human finger bone."
The reason why they could identify it so quickly was that they had entered the game world many times, seen many dead people and dead bones, and had rich experience. There was no doubt that Wan Xingzhou, who had entered the game world for a year, had a lot of experience in this area.
Then he used his red sword to turn over the surrounding soil.
After turning it over, several bones were found, but most of them were broken bones.
"Could it be that this hotel was built on a mass grave?" Wan Xingzhou quickly denied it. "That doesn't make sense. These are clearly human bones, exposed on the surface. Could they be the bones of people who died when the hotel was built?"
He pursed his lips. If no one had died, how could it become a game world for players to come in and complete missions
Gu Jiu observed the broken bones on the ground for a while, and his eyes fell on the red sword in his hand.
It's obviously a very powerful prop, but he used it as a tool for digging bones. It's quite pitiful no matter how you look at it.
"Is that how you treat it?" Gu Jiu asked with a smile, "Don't you have any other tools?"
Wan Xingzhou touched his head and said, "I'm used to it. This is the Sword of the Evil Slayer that I got when I was promoted to C-level. Don't be fooled by its bright red color. It looks old and brittle, but it's actually very useful. It can be used to kill ghosts and monsters, or to dig walls and the ground..."
After walking around outside the hotel, the sun gradually set.
It's dinner time.
The three of them returned to the hotel and went straight to the restaurant on the second floor.
Many players have gathered in the restaurant. Although they may not eat the food provided by the hotel, they can take a look.
Most C-level players have rich gaming experience. Except for those who find it difficult to enjoy, most will choose to stuff some food from the real world into their carry-on bags, depending on personal preference.
There aren't many people like Gu Jiu who pack directly from five-star hotels, but there aren't that many either.
Just like at this moment, Zhan Shaohong took out a candlelight dinner from the space.
The sun had not yet set, and he had the curtains drawn to create the atmosphere of a candlelight dinner. He changed into a custom-made suit and held a bouquet of beautiful roses in his hand.
Everyone: "..." Did this young master forget that this is a game world
Even the six players who followed Zhan Shaohong had awkward smiles on their faces, and they had to praise Zhan Shaohong for his taste and romance against their will.
Holding a rose in his hand, Zhan Shaohong ignored the looks of Chai Yingying and another pretty female player, stretched his head to look around, and when he saw Gu Jiu walking into the restaurant, his eyes lit up.
He deliberately straightened the wrinkles of his suit and his tie, then walked towards Gu Jiu with what he considered to be a casual pace.
The players in the restaurant couldn't help but look over.
Seeing Zhan Shaohong coming over with a bouquet of roses, Wan Xingzhou was shocked and looked at Gu Jiu cautiously, wondering if the eldest lady would press Zhan Shaohong's face into the roses.
Lu Ji didn't realize what was happening yet. He just wondered what the greasy young master was doing with the rose until he came to Gu Jiu and said affectionately, "Flowers are given to beautiful women. Please don't refuse them, because you deserve the most beautiful flowers in the world."
Lu Ji: “…”
Gu Jiu looked at Zhan Shaohong with a smile.
As the eldest daughter of the Gu family, what kind of pursuit methods has she not seen? The identities of the pursuers are even more diverse, including campus princes, entertainment stars, rich second-generations, wealthy noblemen, overbearing CEOs... Although Zhan Shaohong is not the worst one, he is not that good either, and can only barely pass with 60 points.
She smiled and said, "Thank you for the flowers, but I don't like roses."
The rejection of a beauty is forgivable, so Zhan Shaohong was not angry and asked, "What kind of flowers do you like?"
"I like dogtail grass." Gu Jiu said with a smile.
Zhan Shaohong: "..." What kind of woman likes dogtail flowers? What does this mean
In his carry-on bag, there are roses, wild roses, cosmos... but there is definitely no dogtail grass.
A player nearby couldn't help but chuckle. Zhan Shaohong looked over unhappily because there were so many people there and he didn't know which guy was laughing.
He barely suppressed his anger, but when he saw Gu Jiu's face, he found that he couldn't get angry at all.
In the past, he thought he liked bright and sexy beauties like Chai Yingying. But after meeting Gu Jiu, he was struck by her at first sight. Her looks were classical and gentle, yet she had a bright and moving charm. The two were harmoniously blended in her, showing her charm to the fullest without any sense of incongruity.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t like roses. Zhan Shaohong threw the rose to a player and proceeded to the next step.
"I wonder if I might have the honor of inviting you to dinner?"
A candlelight dinner is so romantic, especially in this kind of game world. If a man can offer a candlelight dinner, a woman will definitely be touched.
"sure."
Zhan Shaohong felt proud in his heart, look, look, women are all the same.
"And my companions, come join us too. It will be more lively if we all sit together to eat."
Zhan Shaohong: “…”
The confident Hong Shao suffered another setback. He just wanted to invite the beauty alone, not a bunch of people. Would a bunch of people sitting together still count as a candlelight dinner? What's the meaning of romance
Facing the beauty's gaze, he couldn't say a word of refusal and could only watch Gu Jiu and her companions take their seats. Then other players were invited to take their seats by her with a smile - some didn't want to sit down at first, but after they came to their senses, they sat down. Nearly ten people sat at the small table.
Zhan Shaohong: “…”
The players naturally noticed the look in Zhan Shaohong's eyes. Some of them regretted that Gu Jiu had invited them to take a seat with just a few words. Only Chai Yingying and the pretty female player pretended not to see it and sat next to Gu Jiu.
Zhan Shaohong was forced into a corner.
Seeing that Zhan Shaohong was in a bad mood, someone quickly said, "There are too many people, and the food on the table may not be enough..."
It was clearly a candlelight dinner for two people, but there were ten of them sitting there. There wasn't enough food on the table.
"It's okay, I have some here." Gu Jiu took out a lot of food from his bag.
Wan Xingzhou also enthusiastically took out a few dishes to suit the occasion.
He was inspired by Gu Jiu in the "Death Movie" copy. Before entering the game world this time, he also packed a lot of delicious food in the real world and put it in his bag so that he could take it out when he wanted to eat.
Seeing the table filled with food, even Zhan Shaohong was speechless.
Everyone sat together, had a lively dinner and introduced themselves to each other.
Zhan Shaohong felt upset at first, but after successfully finding out Gu Jiu's name, he was still very happy. It's just... looking at the group of light bulbs around him that shouldn't be there, he still felt upset.
The dinner ended in this lively atmosphere.
It was getting dark outside and night was coming.
The night in the game world is always dangerous, and the players in the restaurant are already planning to go back to their rooms.
Zhan Shaohong cheered up again and said, "I don't know what the situation is in this hotel. It may be dangerous at night. I have a lot of props here, which can definitely guarantee safety at night. Gu Jiu, do you want to live in the same room with me?"
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his eyes, and said hesitantly, "Isn't this bad? The hotel waitress asked each of us to draw a room card. The meaning is very clear. We should live in our own room. If we leave the room, bad things are likely to happen."
Players currently don’t know what the bad thing is.
Some more cautious players have decided to stay in the room they drew tonight.
Zhan Shaohong showed a smug look on his face, "It's okay, I have a substitute prop that can deceive the ghosts' perception and they won't find out." He took a step forward, "Why don't I go to your room tonight and I can protect you."
He patted his chest, looking very reliable.
Anyway, whether the beautiful woman comes to his room or he goes to the beautiful woman's room, it is a good deal.
Before Gu Jiu could say anything, Lu Ji could no longer bear it and walked forward to hug Gu Jiu.
"I'll sleep with her tonight, you go away."
Zhan Shaohong's eyes fell on Lu Ji and he found that the girl was too tall. If he grew up, would she be over 1.9 meters tall? A woman this tall was too burly and not his type.
Looking at Lu Ji's face again, although he was also very handsome, he looked sickly, with a gloomy aura, and he had a flat chest, which made me even less interested.
Zhan Shaohong said: "You go and live in the same room with Chai Yingying!"
This kind of matter-of-fact tone was commonplace to the players who followed him, but Lu Ji was furious.
He was just about to make this wild man who came out of nowhere suffer, when he saw Chai Yingying step forward and hold Zhan Shaohong's arm, saying in a coquettish voice: "Mr. Hong, didn't you promise to share a room with me today? How can you go back on your word?"
Zhan Shaohong still enjoyed the beauty's coquettishness.
At this time, Gu Jiu said: "I'm so sorry, I have to accompany Aji tonight! Aji is young and will be scared in this kind of environment. I can't abandon him." She turned around and hugged the girl who was slightly taller than her into her arms, with a doting look on her face.
Lu Ji was stunned for a moment, then blushed and leaned obediently in her arms.
Zhan Shaohong: “…”
Anyone with eyes could see that Lu Ji was covered in pink bubbles. Looking at Gu Jiu's doting face...
It turns out that “they” are a couple!
Everyone suddenly realized that with the development of the times, homosexuality has become very common. Although it is a bit unexpected, no one will look at this matter in an abnormal way.
Hong Shao stared in amazement as Gu Jiu dragged Lu Ji away, while Wan Xingzhou followed behind them with a dazed look on his face.
After leaving the restaurant, Gu Jiu slapped Wan Xingzhou, "Wake up."
Wan Xingzhou said "Oh", looked at them and said, "So this is the kind of relationship you have..." As he said this, he sounded a little melancholy.
Nowadays, all the good girls are sold out, resulting in more and more men being single. He is one of the bachelors. Every year on Singles' Day, he can only sing "Single Love Songs", which is really miserable.
"Wake up!" Gu Jiu slapped him again, "Do we look alike?"
Wan Xingzhou opened his mouth and looked at the pair of dark eyes that Lu Ji was looking at him, sensing a violent and chaotic dark emotion in them...
He was so frightened that he nearly exploded on the spot.
When he came to his senses, he found that Gu Jiu had already left with his men.
He hurried after her, feeling very confused. How could he not realize that Gu Jiu didn't have that intention, but a certain girl did have that intention towards her. I wonder if the young lady herself is clear about it
The eldest lady probably doesn't know this. Judging from her usual behavior, she obviously treats Lu Ji as a poor, sickly underage girl. She is accommodating and caring towards her. This is just a kind of care for the same sex, nothing more.
From this we can see that the eldest lady is a very straight-forward woman and is not a lesbian.
Thinking of this, Wan Xingzhou looked at Lu Ji with some sympathy, as he had chosen a path of no return.
But there is no way, the eldest lady is so charming that not only the opposite sex likes her, but even the same sex is attracted to her.
"By the way, Miss, do you know who Zhan Shaohong is?" Wan Xingzhou suddenly asked.
"Player!"
Wan Xingzhou: "... Of course he is a player, I mean his identity in Wanjie City."
Gu Jiu pressed the elevator button and said while waiting for the elevator, "Looking at his performance and the players around him, they are probably not potential players. Potential players won't be as stupid and arrogant as him. They are also not players who have awakened special talents. It's still the reason mentioned above. So the only one left is the last one, a player with someone behind him! In connection with what he said, he has a brother who is an S-level player in the Zero Zone."
Wan Xingzhou: “…”
Is it that the eldest lady's brain works too quickly, or is it that Zhan Shaohong is too stupid, so that even players who don't know his background can easily guess it
Lu Ji's mood was high.
As expected, Gu Jiu doesn’t like that kind of wild man.
"You're right." Wan Xingzhou said, "Zhan Shaohong has a brother who is a big shot in the Lingxing District. I heard that he was promoted two years ago. Zhan Shaohong's brother is called Zhan Shaoqing. When he became a B-level player, he joined the Samsara Hall in Wujie City. After he became an S-level player, he officially became one of the elders of the Samsara Hall. As his younger brother, Zhan Shaohong's status has risen."
"With a brother like him, Zhan Shaohong naturally has the capital to be arrogant. With the props his brother gives him to protect him, Zhan Shaohong is like a fish in water in the game world. He can pass the level safely just by relying on props."
Therefore, Zhan Shaohong is a fat sheep in the eyes of many players. Players all want to please him and then get in touch with the S-level bosses.
A person like Zhan Shaohong can not only do whatever he wants in the game world, but also in Boundless City. Although he is bound by the rules of Boundless City, the rules have always been there for people to circumvent, so there is still a lot of room for maneuver.
This time he has taken a fancy to Gu Jiu, and he doesn’t know what will happen.
Wan Xingzhou was very worried and said tentatively: "Miss, even if you are impatient with him, don't kill him, okay?"
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a cruel person. How could I kill someone so easily?"
Wan Xingzhou: “…” Inexplicably, it felt unbelievable.
She is not cruel, but she has a bad temper. After watching the Holland couple who were killed by her in the "Death Movie", I feel that her temper is not as gentle as she appears, and she may be a hypocrite.
Lu Jixin thought that he was a cruel "person" and if Zhan Shaohong came over again, he wouldn't mind killing him.
