Gu Jiu suspected that "spiritual grudge" was actually an unknown supernatural power.
Therefore, the ghosts in the hotel can drive the spirits to harm the players. It is everywhere, filling the entire hotel. As long as the players are in the hotel, they cannot avoid it.
The player's situation is more dangerous than imagined.
With the help of the medicine bought in Wujie City, in less than half an hour, the wound on Gu Jiu's arm was finally healed, leaving only a pink scar.
After looking at it, Lu Ji took out a tube of white jade flawless scar removing cream. It is said that this is a favorite medicine for wounds bought by many female players. No matter how ugly the scar is, it can be removed and restore flawless skin. It is simply a blessing for those with disfigured faces.
Gu Jiu didn't expect that he would even buy this kind of scar removal medicine, and felt that Lu Ji was really thoughtful.
She shook her arms. The injured area seemed to still be painful, but in fact it was fine.
Seeing the blood on the bath towel and the blood stains remaining on her skin, she felt uncomfortable and decided to go to the bathroom to take another shower.
"Ajiu, take it with you." Lu Ji took out a paper heart with wings, "It can monitor the appearance of the spirit."
Seeing the love heart flying from his hand, Gu Jiu couldn't help laughing, "Didn't you say it's useless?"
"That's how it was." Lu Ji pretended to be embarrassed, but he spoke nonsense seriously, "But it represents justice and love. As long as there is danger, it will alert people around."
Gu Jiu entered the bathroom with the paper love heart.
She took off the blood-stained towel and took another shower to wash off the sticky blood stains left on her body. Until she put on a clean nightgown, nothing happened and the heart-shaped paper objects kept flying around her.
Coming out of the bathroom, Gu Jiu asked Lu Ji to take a shower and said, "Aji, you should also be careful not to get hurt."
Lu Ji responded and walked into the bathroom.
After closing the bathroom door, he was not in a hurry to move. He tilted his head to look out the window, as if looking through the curtains at somewhere in the void. There was no focus in his black eyes. An invisible force, with him as the axis, roared out like a violent storm, instantly covering the entire hotel.
The hotel was shrouded in a deeper darkness, as if a silent wail was heard.
"Aji, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
Seeing that there was no sound in the bathroom for a long time, Gu Jiu came over and knocked on the door worriedly.
Lu Ji regained his sanity, the power that enveloped the hotel disappeared in an instant, and the world returned to normal.
He said quickly, "I'm fine."
Gu Jiu was still a little worried, "Be careful."
Lu Ji responded, turned on the water silently, and took a shower slowly. The sound of the water covered up the abnormality in this small bathroom.
When they were sleeping, Gu Jiu asked seriously, "Aji, can those paper things of yours help keep watch at night?"
"It's OK." Lu Ji said, understanding what she meant, "Just sleep peacefully, nothing will happen."
Gu Jiu sighed, "When people are asleep, their reactions become slow. If there is an attack at night, they will not be able to react in time..."
This game world is more dangerous than the previous worlds. The ubiquitous attacks are hard to guard against, and even sleeping is not peaceful. Gu Jiu knows that his sleep quality has always been good, and he is not sure that he can defend himself in his sleep, but he does not want to die in the game world in such a miserable way.
Lu Ji suggested: "How about I keep watch tonight?"
Gu Jiu thought this was a safe method, but he didn't let him guard alone. "You guard the first half of the night, and I'll guard the second half. When the second half of the night comes, you wake me up."
Lu Ji nodded, watched her lie down, and soon fell asleep.
In the second half of the night, Lu Ji did not wake up Gu Jiu.
He looked at the human sleeping quietly beside him, and a warm and surging strange emotion surged in his heart, which was both happy and peaceful. He was happy that her breath lingered around him, and that she was the most charming and special existence. Whenever he thought of her, his heart was filled with excitement, and he wanted to fall in love with her. His heart was also at peace with her company, and all the darkness and loneliness seemed to have left him.
He liked having her by his side in this quiet and terrifying world.
When Gu Jiu woke up, it was already bright.
The curtains were not drawn, and the morning light poured in. She looked at the rising sun outside the window for a while in confusion, and finally thought of something and quickly sat up.
"Aji, why didn't you call me?" she said as she took her glasses and put them on, and saw the scraps of paper in front of the bed.
It was what was left of Lu Ji's paper that was torn into pieces.
Lu Ji said: "I can stay up late, so I won't wake you up. There were three attacks last night, but they were all blocked by paper objects. Nothing happened."
Since the paper object was completely impervious, he saw no need to wake her up.
After Gu Jiu understood what he meant, he couldn't help but sigh and laugh, holding his hand and said, "Okay, I should have believed your paper things, I was wrong."
Her voice is exceptionally soft. It is a naturally gentle voice, and when it is softened deliberately, it can bewitch people.
Lu Ji is no exception.
He was originally attracted to her, whether it was her beautiful face, gentle voice, or arrogant temper of a young lady, they all made him feel so beautiful.
The tips of his ears turned red uncontrollably, and he was so excited that he wanted to hold her hand tightly.
Unfortunately, he didn't dare let her find out that he was different, so he could only say calmly, "It's okay, I don't care."
Gu Jiu smiled, rubbed his hair, and pulled him up.
While washing up, Gu Jiu asked about the attacks and learned that the three attacks last night came silently and without any pattern.
"Is it true that there are only three attacks per night and we will be safe as long as we survive them?"
Gu Jiu speculated and decided to go and check out the situation of other players first and observe again tonight.
The two came to the restaurant, but there was no one there.
The time they arrived at the restaurant today was about the same as yesterday, neither early nor late. Gu Jiu didn't think those players were sleeping in. Something must have happened.
The two went to the fifth floor and came to room 503.
Gu Jiu knocked on the door and shouted inside, "Wan Xingzhou, are you still alive? Come out if you are alive!"
These words were not directed to Wan Xingzhou, but to other players on the fifth floor.
The door of Room 511 opened, and a pale and haggard player with blood on his clothes opened the door. He looked at Gu Jiu suspiciously and asked, "Were you attacked inexplicably last night?"
"certainly."
After receiving Gu Jiu's affirmative answer, the player's expression became solemn, and he also realized the danger of this game world.
Gu Jiu knocked on the door again, and Wan Xingzhou's voice finally rang out, "Miss, is that you?"
"If not me, then who is it?"
"Is Sister Lu here?"
Lu Ji was too lazy to pay attention to him and said nothing.
The door finally opened, revealing Wan Xingzhou, who was covered in blood. He glanced at the two people in front of the door and said, "Sister Lu didn't scold me cruelly this time. It really is true."
Even though Lu Ji was too lazy to deal with irrelevant humans, he still had the urge to roll his eyes at this moment.
Where does this touching logic come from
Wan Xingzhou let the two of them in and asked them, "Did you encounter any attacks last night?"
"I did." Gu Jiu said, "I was almost stabbed on the head by a fruit knife just after I entered the door. Fortunately, Ah Ji pulled me away in time. Later..."
After hearing that even the eldest lady was attacked, Wan Xingzhou finally felt balanced.
Gu Jiu glanced at him. What did this mean
"I just think you are very powerful, Miss. If even you were attacked, it's normal for me to be so unlucky." Wan Xingzhou said quickly, and then told them about his bad luck last night.
He was also attacked when he entered the door last night. There was a knife on the door handle, which almost pierced his hand.
He fell in the bathroom while taking a shower and almost broke his eggs. Gu Jiu and Lu Ji subconsciously looked at his eggs. Wan Xingzhou was furious and quickly turned sideways with an indescribable expression.
When he went to bed, the bed suddenly collapsed, not to mention that he encountered three attacks while sleeping at night...
It can be said that he struggled alone until dawn, and did not dare to close his eyes to sleep, for fear that he would be killed if he was not paying attention.
"Look, my bed has become like this. I slept on the floor last night."
Gu Jiu and the other man looked in the direction he pointed and saw a bed broken into two pieces, neatly broken, as if it had been cut in the middle by a sharp blade.
After Wan Xingzhou finished speaking, he looked at Gu Jiu with a pair of moist eyes.
Gu Jiu patted his shoulder and said sympathetically: "You've worked hard. Keep working hard tonight and make sure you try your best to survive. You can do it!"
Wan Xingzhou: "… My bed has become like this, why don't I go to your room and sleep on the floor? It's the same wherever I sleep, right?"
Lu Ji said enthusiastically: "I'll go next door and help you move a new bed over."
Wan Xingzhou looked at him resentfully, and Lu Ji turned his head away, pretending not to see it.
"Okay, come on." Gu Jiu agreed generously.
Now it was Lu Ji's turn to be unhappy, and his eyes became resentful.
Gu Jiu laughed, ruffling his long hair, and said with a smile: "After spending so much time with Wan Xingzhou, Ah Ji has also learned his little eyes. Not bad, not bad, very good."
Finally, there is the playfulness of a girl.
Seeing her pleased look as if “my child has finally become lively”, Lu Ji didn’t want to talk.
Wan Xingzhou went to the bathroom to wash the blood off his body, and followed Gu Jiu and the others to the restaurant.
After such a delay, breakfast time is almost over.
The other players had almost all arrived. Gu Jiu looked over and found that there were only fourteen players today, five fewer than yesterday. He didn't know whether they were dead or just didn't dare to show up.
She decided to check the register later.
The players were not in good condition. They looked haggard and ate their breakfast intermittently. The only person who was in good spirits was probably Zhan Shaohong.
As a prop player, although last night was dangerous, it was nothing to him.
Zhan Shaohong came over happily, "Gu Jiu, were you okay last night?"
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "It's okay."
The players looked at her and found that she was still radiant and beautiful today, which meant that she had a good rest last night, in contrast to the other players who looked haggard.
Could it be that she is also a prop player
Without waiting for Gu Jiu to say anything, Zhan Shaohong very consciously told her what happened after he returned to his room last night. The process was so detailed that he even told her how many times he used shower gel when taking a shower...
Liang Lifei and other players had expressionless faces. The dog licker ended up with nothing. They were waiting for the dog's fate.
The situation encountered by Zhan Shaohong was similar to that of Gu Jiu. He started to be attacked as soon as he entered the door. Fortunately, he was protected by the life-saving talisman on his body when he was attacked for the second time. He experienced three dangerous attacks throughout the night.
"Gu Jiu, this hotel is too dangerous. I have some life-saving props here. Why don't you come and stay with me at night?" Zhan Shaohong invited with ulterior motives.
With a snap, Lu Ji broke the chopsticks in his hand.
Zhan Shaohong met his gaze and shuddered involuntarily. He said weakly, "If you don't want to, it's okay..."
Everyone: “…” Is this the extent of your prospects
Did they overestimate Young Master Hong’s courage in the past
Gu Jiu rejected Zhan Shaohong's "kindness" and turned to communicate with Chai Yingying.
Among this group of players, she found that Chai Yingying was the strongest. As for why she had a different attitude towards Zhan Shaohong, Gu Jiu guessed that Chai Yingying entered the game world to protect Zhan Shaohong, so she took the risk of living with him at night.
Zhan Shaohong had previously revealed that it was Chai Yingying's timely reactions on several occasions that prevented him from getting hurt. It was also Chai Yingying who kept watch over him at night, woke him up when there was danger, and reminded him to use props.
