A group of people searched for a long time in the stalled commercial vehicle with mobile phone lights, but none of them could take out an umbrella.
"What's the matter," said the girl holding her boyfriend's arm, "is it really going to rain?"
Of course she was not happy—except for the reduction in pain, the five senses of "The Box" are almost perfect, and the cold is really cool.
"Let's go."
No need for others to speak, her boyfriend quickly said: "Anyway, it's not far away, at worst, I'll help you block it."
Others thought that this was an inexplicable show, but Lin You didn't care. She adjusted the ten pockets that were issued to each player by default in the cooperative mode, and then got out of the car.
No matter how much you say, it is empty, the rain is really heavy, and a group of people can't care about themselves on the dark mountain road. At any rate, they survived the distance of more than 20 meters, and they barely squeezed together under the eaves of the hotel.
This family hotel is not big, with a total of four floors, with bright and warm lights inside. If it weren't for knowing that it was haunted, it would be too tempting for a group of players who were drenched in water.
"Although it's called "Hotel 626"..."
Someone chattered their teeth and said, "But I don't think there are six floors here. Could it be that there are some invisible rooms on the roof?"
Everyone felt a chill when they heard the words.
"I'm afraid it has nothing to do with the sixth floor." Looking around, seeing that no one really knows, Lin You said, "If I guessed correctly, the name of this copy should be from "Horror Hotel 626."
As soon as she said this, she immediately attracted the attention of the other seven people.
"Oh?" The man in his thirties who made up his mind earlier asked with interest, "What do you mean?"
"It's a very classic web horror game. '626' doesn't refer to the room number, it's a homonym for '6 to 6'." She explained, "Players can only log in from 6:00 in the evening to 6:00 in the morning. A guest who wakes up in a haunted hotel in the middle of the night trying to get out."
"But the game has been closed for a long time."
Lin You shrugged, "I haven't played either."
"So maybe it's possible to pass the level by living until six o'clock in the morning..." the man thought.
It's seven fifty in the evening.
"Ah, yes, I haven't introduced myself yet." He said, "Liang Yong, he has also cleared five or six dungeons. He is a boxer by profession."
Is this considered combat power
Lin You listened with interest to other people introducing their occupations. When it was the turn of the boy who was sitting next to her in the car, he smiled and said, "My name is Geng Qinghe, and I'm a student in the third dungeon. Please help each other a lot."
Lin You suddenly noticed something—it seemed that everyone except her had cleared the level several times.
However, everyone's eyes turned to her at this moment, and she was the only one who hadn't explained yet.
"... I'm also a student," Lin You said in silence for a few seconds, "This is the first time I'm playing co-op mode, please take care of me."
It's not that she wants to lie, she hasn't figured out her career yet. In addition, the profession of summoner sounds a bit out of the ordinary, so it's better to choose the most popular one first.
Hearing that they were of the same job, Geng Qinghe couldn't help but take another look at her.
"first?"
Liang Yong was surprised and said, "It's not easy to rank D for the first time. What did you do during the test? With such a high hidden score, why are you still a student?"
The dungeon is divided into F to S according to the difficulty level from low to high. The first newcomer test is the simplest F-level dungeon.
However, the general analysis on the forum is that students are the professions assigned to players who have not yet fully demonstrated their characteristics.
Damn, I have to wear clothes.
"It's nothing," Lin You said with a haha, and said modestly, "I just passed by casually, maybe because I asked NPC to help me, and I cleared the level faster?"
This is true, the only discrepancy is that the so-called NPC she forced—ah no, please—is the gap girl.
The others seemed to believe it.
Lin You simply tied a high ponytail with bangs on her forehead. A pair of peach blossom eyes are clear like water mist, and when she smiles, she bends down like a crescent moon, looking really harmless.
"It's okay for the first time." Looking at such a girl, Liang Yong said straightforwardly, "If you have anything to tell Brother Yong, I will protect you."
Lin You: "... oh, oh."
Liang Yong only thought that she was shy, and it happened that there was another gust of mountain wind, and the people who were drenched were really looking like they were about to fall, so he hurriedly said, "Are you all ready? Go in when you are ready."
No one objected, the proposal was passed unanimously, and Liang Yong took the lead in pushing open the door of the hotel.
"Is anyone there?" he asked. "We want to stay in—"
The sound stopped abruptly when he saw the empty room.
The hotel was brightly lit up and down, but there was no one in the lobby.
"Sure enough, it's a horror hotel," the girl tour guide called herself Qi Lanlan, and now she felt the hair on her back, "there's no one there."
"Could it be that we want to find a room by ourselves?"
Another person muttered: "Who dares to wait."
"In short," Liang Yong collected himself, "go to the front desk to have a look, there should be some clues."
A few people stayed where they were suspiciously, and Lin You walked closer together. While others were looking for the counter, she saw a book on the table.
She casually flipped through two pages and found that it was a handwritten check-in registration. The background of this dungeon should be Europe and the United States, where a row of people with all kinds of names are flying around.
"I found the room card!"
On the other end, Qi Lanlan called out: "Exactly eight!"
The few people who were standing there also gathered around and looked at the room card in her hand together.
"It's weird," said the previous driver, Chen Jun, touching his chin. "Although there are eight cards, they are divided into four floors."
For example, there are two adjacent cards 103 and 104, and the next two cards are 201 and 202.
Liang Yong thought about it.
"I have to check the situation here, why not divide them into four groups according to this." He suggested, "I will cover the numbers, and the people who are drawn to the same floor will be in one group."
"I don't."
The girl holding her boyfriend's arm said awkwardly: "I want to be with my husband."
"All right, all right, then these two are for you." Liang Yong waved his hand, "The rest?"
Lin You turned over her card and saw the numbers on it.
"Mine is 103," she said, "Who is 104?"
"I."
Someone responded, then froze, "Oh, what a coincidence."
"What a coincidence," Lin You laughed, "It's you again."
It was quite a coincidence that after sharing the same seat in the car, it was Geng Qinghe who was drawn to be in the same group as her.
Their group was assigned to the left side of the first floor, while Liang Yong and Chen Jun's group went to the right side. The rest go to the second floor.
"Call if you need anything," Liang Yong instructed before leaving, "We'll come and help you at any time."
— Completely regarded as a novice with little experience.
The other party was also kind, Lin You laughed dryly in response, turned her head and walked to the other side with Geng Qinghe.
"Are you a student too?" On the way, she took the initiative to ask, "How did you get this job?"
A trace of unnaturalness crossed the face of the sunny boy of eighteen or nineteen years old.
"Then what."
He looked around, made sure that the others walked away and whispered.
"You said that we are destined, and I tell you, don't tell others." Seeing Lin You nodded, Geng Qinghe continued, "My original copy was to find it in an abandoned house in the wilderness. The clues of the missing friend, but as soon as I entered the door, I saw that the door was about to close—"
Lin You: "And then?"
Geng Qinghe: "...then I ran out of the door, and when I tried to open the door again, I found that it could no longer be opened. The system prompted me that the mission failed."
Lin You: "..."
The consequences of excessive desire to survive.
"Don't look at me like that," he said coyly, "I'm Cong Xin."
... Isn't that just highlighting a coward.
"I'm very brave!" Geng Qinghe declared.
"Okay," Lin You didn't say much nonsense, pointing to the door that just passed behind him, "Now I'll give you a chance to prove your courage, come on?"
Geng Qinghe: "... huh?"
"Look at this door."
She asked, "Is it different from other doors?"
Following the direction she pointed, Geng Qinghe noticed that the door was indeed slightly different from the others—there was no electronic lock, and there was no house number on the door plate.
"Looking at the specifications, this is a family hotel." Lin You said, "This room is near the lobby and next to the stairs - it is convenient for receiving guests who stay overnight, and it is also convenient for going up and down the stairs to check the room. I suspect that the boss may live of."
Geng Qinghe understood what she meant, "Do you want to go in and have a look?"
"certainly."
If it is a hotel owner's room, it naturally has more clues than a normal room.
Lin You turned the doorknob, and the door swung open.
It was not locked.
The lights were on in the room, but the windows were tightly shut. Facing a long-suffering smell, Lin You frowned and slapped it with her hands.
The decoration is really not like a normal guest room, the double bed in the center of the room is neatly covered with soft bedding. There is also a dressing table beside the bed, with many bottles and cans on it, and a men's suit is hung on the hanger on the other side. It seems that the owner and his wife should have lived here.
Lin You walked to the bed, stretched out her hand and lifted the duvet—
Nothing at all.
She turned her head, and Geng Qinghe, who had concealed the door, was looking at her in awe.
Sure enough, people can't be judged by appearances, he thinks he doesn't have the courage to come up and turn over the bed, which is the most likely place where things are most likely to be hidden.
"All right, all right," Lin You said, "Go to the bookshelf and see if there are any clues."
She let go, and started turning over the pillow next. It stands to reason that there is most likely something like a key hidden under the pillow, but she removed the two pillows and touched them in turn to confirm that there was only cotton inside.
Lin You put the things back and was going to check the dressing table.
She couldn't move.
Lin You froze there, feeling something icy and cold on her ankles.
She lowered her head slowly, seeing a few pale fingers that were bloodless.
—There is something under the bed.
Almost as soon as this thought came to her mind, she felt dizzy. The whole person fell down suddenly, and the back of her head and shoulders that hit the ground heavily caused dull pain. By the time Lin You regained consciousness, nearly half of her body had been pulled under the bed.
"what happened???"
Hearing the commotion here, Geng Qinghe rushed over immediately, quickly grabbed her arm and pulled it out.
Lin You didn't bother to explain, the strength of that thing was a bit strong, and the combination of her and Geng Qinghe was just enough to contend with it. She gritted her teeth and kicked the other hand directly on the hand.
The hand seemed to be in pain, and suddenly let go.
Only now did Geng Qinghe pull her up smoothly, "... what happened?"
"A hand was pulling me under the bed."
After a struggle, Lin You's breath was still a little unsteady. Still aching in the back of her head and back, she held her breath.
"Come on, give me a hand and help me move the bed board."
She is very vengeful.
