A pedestrian holding an umbrella accidentally stepped on the stagnant water. His reflection on the water was distorted, and his bones and internal organs were crushed together. In the blink of an eye, the pedestrian disappeared on the spot. A black umbrella was left behind.
—Standing water ate him.
But for this bizarre and terrifying incident in front of them, none of the pedestrians around them paid attention, as if they saw a fallen leaf falling from the tree.
"Common sense distortion... Or is it logic replacement? The surrounding humans are indifferent to such bizarre disappearances. The world is simply filled with strange stories... "
Standing not far from the entrance of Victory Hotel, Bai Zhi squinted his eyes slightly and raised his head to look across the street.
"This is really a ridiculous world... Survive in this crazy world for three days?"
Shaking his head slightly, Bai Zhi turned around and walked into the Victory Hotel.
The layout of the lobby on the first floor of the hotel is very simple. Near the floor-to-ceiling window on the left side of the door, there are two rows of sofas and a coffee table placed in the center of the sofa. Directly in front of the door is the hotel's front desk.
To the right of the hotel's front desk is an aisle, and on the left side of the aisle is the restaurant. Corresponding to the door of the restaurant are the emergency stairs and elevators.
"Welcome to the Victory Hotel."
Behind the front desk of the hotel, a well-dressed hotel manager in a suit asked him with a professional smile as he walked up to the front desk.
"Do you have a reservation? We have double rooms and standard rooms for two people. If there are multiple people staying, there will be group purchase discounts."
"..."
Squinting his eyes slightly and looking at the smiling hotel manager in front of him, Bai Zhi took out the ID card prepared for him by the system from his pocket, put it on the table and pushed it over.
As far as he was concerned, judging from his personal tendencies, this Victory Hotel should be the Noah's Ark of this world, but he always felt that something was vaguely wrong.
The system gives a prompt that the world is on the verge of destruction. The last surviving player in the world has also been declared dead. Under this situation, [Noah's Ark] in this world He should have escaped from this world long ago, how could he still stay here
But the accommodation arranged for them by the system is here...
"Hello, you have already reserved a room, and there are four remaining rooms. Would you like to choose a double room or a double room?"
While Bai Zhi was deep in thought, the hotel manager in front of him handed over his ID card with a smile on his face.
"Also, when will your companion arrive? I just happen to be checking in for you."
"Double bed room, double room...wait, there are no single rooms?"
As if he suddenly thought of something, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and Bai Zhi quickly asked.
He remembered clearly that the people who chose to break away from the closed loop as decisively as himself were Yanhuo Fengyue, Chang Xi, and the [End of the World Singer].
As for the [West Pavilion Master] and the others, it is estimated that it will take some time before they can make up their mind to break through the closed loop and come here. In other words, whether it is a double bed room or a double room, no matter which one of the three people they live in, Being together would feel very awkward.
"Uh... If you want to stay in a single room as a guest, you will need to pay extra for a room."
After some more manipulation on the computer in front of him, the hotel front desk manager showed a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Is this okay?"
"Hmm... How much does it cost to open a single room?"
After thinking for a while, and with the mentality of giving it a try, Bai Zhi asked.
"100 eyeballs a day."
Reaching out to open the drawer, the hotel front desk manager reached out and picked out one of the eyeballs soaked in inexplicable liquid, placed it in front of Bai Zhi, and spoke to him with some anticipation.
"If the quality of the eyeballs is good enough, I can make the decision and give you a discount. Do you think this is okay?"
"..."
Looking at the eyeball in front of him with the obvious smell of formalin, Bai Zhi's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
Although the system was quite considerate in preparing identity luggage for each of them, and even booked rooms for them, it was not so crazy as to put a suitcase of eyeballs in their suitcases...
There are five hotel rooms, ten players, and four female players. In fact, they are exactly matched in pairs, so there will not be any embarrassing situation... But there is one [Glena] among them.
"Well, trouble..."
"There's no need to book separate rooms. Please book a double room for the two of us."
Just when Bai Zhi opened his mouth to ask for a separate room among the remaining four rooms, a pleasant-sounding voice suddenly came from beside him.
"Well… "
When Bai Zhi turned around, he realized that at some point, the girl with a red guitar on her back had arrived at the front desk of the hotel and was reaching out to put her ID on the counter.
"Ok, no problem."
With a smile on his face, he reached for the ID card. The hotel front desk manager immersed himself in front of the computer and started working on it. Within a moment, he handed over two room cards and a hotel guide.
"Your room is 8602. This is your room card. Please keep it. The stay is for three days. If you encounter any problems during your stay, please call the front desk and we will send someone to the front desk as soon as possible. Go handle it. The front desk phone number and the hotel room WIFI password are all written in this hotel guide. At the same time, from 7 to 10 o'clock every morning, free breakfast will be served in the restaurant on the first floor. Do you have any questions? ?"
"… Fine."
Bai Zhi glanced at the girl next to him and reached out to pick up the room card in front of him. Bai Zhi looked at the hotel front desk manager in front of him.
"By the way, can I ask? What are the room numbers of the two people who checked in before us?"
Volume One: The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 487 Chapter 480: The Mutated Player
Due to the long wait for Fireworks, Fengyue and the others, Bai Zhi finally decided to go upstairs to sort out his luggage first, and seeing that it was getting late, he also went to discuss the matter with the two-dimensional and protagonist halo.
As for the girl next to him, she behaved quite quietly most of the time, spoke very few words, and had no intention of raising any opinions.
When Bai Zhi carried the suitcase and walked towards the elevator, the girl followed him quietly.
—From the outside, there is nothing unusual about this hotel.
In addition to the emergency spare stairs, there are three elevators in this hotel.
When Bai Zhi and the others came to the elevator door, there happened to be an elevator stopping here on the first floor. Two young people walked out of the elevator talking and laughing, discussing which restaurant nearby they should go to at night. Eat in restaurants.
Among the two young men, one was missing a hand, and the cuff of his right hand was empty. The other had an extra hand, stretched out from his belly button, holding a bag of potato chips in his hand.
"..."
Slightly moving to the side, Bai Zhi got out of the way. After watching the two young men leave with slightly narrowed eyes, Bai Zhi walked into the elevator with the girl beside him.
The hotel has ten floors in total, their accommodation rooms are on the eighth floor, and the laundry room is on the tenth floor.
The hotel's internal structure is similar to a long zigzag shape. The elevators and emergency stairs are located on a separate side beside this long zigzag shape. The elevator exit is facing the window.
When Bai Zhi and the others arrived on the eighth floor, as soon as the elevator door opened, a cold wind mixed with some raindrops suddenly hit them through the opened window.
Bai Zhi walked to the window and took a look outside. He reached out and closed the window again.
Their room number is 8602, a standard room with two beds. As for [Old Second Dimension] and [Protagonist Halo] who came here first, their room number is 8601.
Without intending to knock on the door, Bai Zhi walked straight past room 8601 with the door closed. Bai Zhi stopped in front of room 8602, and then opened the door with the room card in his hand.
After inserting the key card, the originally dark room suddenly lit up.
It is said to be a double room, but in fact the layout inside can be seen at a glance. There is a long desk near the window. Above the desk is an air conditioner. The remote control is placed on the bedside table between the two beds. The bedside table There is also a home telephone on it which is now rare.
The sheets and quilts were all white, the pillows and quilts were neatly folded, and the wooden floor was as smooth as new. It was obvious that it had been cleaned before.
At the door entrance, on the left is a shoe cabinet and a clothes rack cabinet with a full-length mirror. Above the divided shoe cabinet, there are several bottles of unopened mineral water, a hair dryer, a cup, and a disposable toothbrush. It is complete with toothpaste, and under the shoe cabinet are several pairs of unopened paper slippers.
On the right side, there is the toilet and bathroom. The toilet and washbasin are placed on the left, and the water heater for bathing is on the right. There is a special glass wall separating the two, and a few white towels are also hung on the wall. There are loose bath towels.
Everything is normal, no different from a normal hotel.
There were no eyeballs hidden in any of the drawers, severed hands in the wardrobe, or blood and water in the toilet, as Bai Zhi had guessed. The whole room seemed quite clean.
But before Bai Zhi could pack his luggage, the doorbell outside the room suddenly rang.
After glancing at the girl sitting quietly on the bed, opening her suitcase and packing her luggage, Bai Zhi stood up and walked to the door, then reached out and opened the door.
After the door was opened, what came into his eyes was Li Changyu's slightly scared face, and his face that became happy after seeing him.
"You are finally here, I thought..."
"It's a party. It's a rare opportunity for a company-funded trip, so I definitely have to come."
Smiling slightly, watching a resident pass behind him, Bai Zhi interrupted him.
"The other people are probably arriving soon. After everyone arrives, let's go out for a dinner together in the evening. I'll clean up the things first."
"Uh... Then I'll wait for you in the lobby on the first floor?"
He also reacted and glanced at the pedestrian passing by from the corner of his eye. Li Changyu nodded slightly hesitantly.
"no problem."
After responding with a smile, Bai Zhi reached out and closed the door.
Then, as if his face changed, the smile on Bai Zhi's face quickly disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression, and his brows wrinkled involuntarily.
Since I helped them book a room, the system naturally arranged their identity and background.
To put it simply, ten writers with different achievements were specially arranged by the company to go on a public trip. Although the background is very simple, in fact, their identity certificates and interpersonal relationships are all in this world. It can be definitely found.
And these things are just background boards.
"what have you found?"
When Bai Zhi returned to the bed, he clearly noticed the change in expression on his face. He tilted his head slightly, and the girl asked him.
"Something weird."
In his heart, he was slightly surprised by the other party's initiative to speak. After thinking about it for a while, Bai Zhi pointed at the back of his neck.
"He has an extra ear here."
You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must not have the intention of guarding against others.
Under the premise that the world itself seemed abnormal and absurd, Bai Zhi would naturally be a little wary of Li Changyu who came here early and the fatness of that sister.
Because he had witnessed the young man with three hands on his body in the elevator before but was accustomed to it, and because he now has enough spiritual power, he has been keeping God since he stepped into the elevator. The angle of view is open at all times.
When he inspected the entire room before, he even carefully inspected every corner of the room. Although it was a bit unnecessary, Bai Zhi felt that it was a very necessary thing.
—His caution paid off.
When Li Changyu came over just now, although the other party was facing him, with his perspective, he could clearly see the scene behind the other party's neck.
One ear grew on the back of the other person's neck.
Volume 1 The Gap between Imagination and Reality: Chapter 488 Chapter 481 The Riddler Gets Out of Gotham City
No one can explain clearly the situation in this absurd world.
On the way to this hotel, Bai Zhi had not observed the human beings in this world. From the most basic appearance, the human beings in this world can be roughly divided into three types.
Those with missing limbs, those with extra limbs, and those with intact limbs.
Among them, the former were the most common, the middle ones were second, and the latter were the least. He only found a few along the way.
Li Changyu's situation should be that of having extra limbs. An ear was grown on the back of his neck, but he himself didn't notice it... Or should he have noticed it himself
As the first two people to come to this hotel, if something happened to Li Changyu, then the fatness of that sister would probably not be much better.
But what's the reason? The other party was only here a few hours longer than the others, but they were inexplicably attacked. What was the reason for the changes in their bodies
... Without clues, Bai Zhi couldn't guess anything.
"By the way, you said before that you can communicate with the world, so how do you feel about the world now?"
As if something suddenly occurred to him, Bai Zhi asked the girl in front of him.
"Has the world itself given you any response?"
"... Chaos, madness, raving like a madman."
After a moment of silence, the girl pointed to her ear.
"I can't listen too much, otherwise I will be affected."
"Really? Then adapt to circumstances."
Bai Zhi stretched out his hand and pressed his forehead, sighing slightly.
"Be careful next. It's best not to drink the water in the room or the breakfast provided by the hotel. After all, who knows the reason for the alienation in the body..."
Although in the end, even if something strange appeared on his body, amputation could be done in the infirmary, Bai Zhi always felt panicked.
"good."
The girl nodded calmly.
