Chapter 64 - Necro Hotel (8)
For stealing keys, Jiang Xiuxiu’s idea is that one person guards the door and the other person steals it.
Moreover, you can’t steal too much at a time, otherwise it will be easy to be discovered.
In this game, there are five floors, and each floor has four rooms to choose from.
Considering that many players are in teams of two or three, the number of rooms that can be used is only eight or nine at most.
In addition to the four rooms on the fifth floor, the keys Jiang Xiuxiu needed to get were actually about six or seven keys.
In order to prevent being discovered by the old man, of course, she can’t steal all of them at once, but she can take two keys at once, then put her own key in and replace it quietly.
In this way, there is only one key that is missing. Even if the old man finds out that there are few keys, 80% will suspect that he lost it instead of someone stealing it.
After making a plan, Jiang Xiuxiu went into action.
She thought about it for a while, and gave Ye Ming the task of stealing the key, while she stood at the entrance of the stairs to help him observe the situation, and by the way, delaying the time.
When the two went to the first floor, the old man happened to be not there.
They moved quickly and got two keys in a hurry.
Afterwards, after checking the room, they put the two keys back and replaced them with two new ones.
With this hand, the two quickly searched the three rooms.
When they found the fourth room, Jiang Xiuxiu and Ye Ming searched and finally found a piece of paper that had been stuffed into the bedside table by the previous guest.
Jiang Xiuxiu spread out the paper and saw some vague words written inside.
【Why… I saw him again! 】
[He is looking at me! He’s in the mirror! Devil, there is a devil in the mirror! 】
[I didn’t kill him… I didn’t kill him…]
【I want to escape from this terrible place! I don’t want to play any more **** games! 】
The author’s mental state is obviously problematic, and many of the words are fragmented and illogical.
But through these messy handwriting, Jiang Xiuxiu could feel his panic.
However, through these sentences, Jiang Xiuxiu could still see something.
For example, the guests who once lived here must have also participated in the “undead game”. Another example, when he played the game of the dead, he once killed people through the game.
Thinking of her experience last night, Jiang Xiuxiu could understand the author somewhat.
In that case, the undead can kill the player arbitrarily, but the player cannot cast the undead.
In order to play the game, in order to survive, the only way for a player is to vote for another player.
The undead game is forcing the living to kill each other.
Jiang Xiuxiu realized this, and for some reason, she didn’t do it.
She played a little clever and got through.
But obviously, I did so.
And, after doing so, the author was haunted by the dead man.
“‘There is a devil in the mirror’… That is to say, he saw the person he killed in the mirror?” After thinking about it, Jiang Xiuxiu asked in confusion, “The undead of that person has entangled him. ?”
Now the room is empty, which means that the author who wrote all this has died in the end.
She felt that since the undead can drive the author to the level of insanity, 80% of the author’s death has a lot to do with the undead.
Come to think of it, it’s true, this hotel is peculiarly decorated and there are mirrors everywhere.
If you can see ghosts in the mirror all the time, it’s no wonder that normal people aren’t frightened.
Jiang Xiuxiu and Ye Ming searched for a while longer, and found that there was nothing left except this note.
However, they are not at a loss.
At least through this note, they know what will happen to those who hurt other players in the undead game.
But in this case, the undead game is completely dead.
As a player, whether it is to cast the undead or cast other players, in the end, there is no way to survive…
Jiang Xiuxiu thought about it for a long time, but couldn’t think of any other way to break the game.
She looked at the time, and finally discussed it with Ye Ming, ready to put the key back and talk about it.
Although stealing the key was quick, it took them hours to search the room.
In order to avoid detection, they still returned the keys as soon as possible.
When the keys were changed twice before, the old man didn’t know where he went.
They changed smoothly without any disturbance.
Only this time, when they decided to put the key back, they unexpectedly discovered that the old man had unknowingly returned to the first floor.
In the darkness, the old man stood silently behind the counter, with his head lowered, his wrinkled face expressionless, making it impossible to fathom her mood.
Like a ghost, she appeared faintly and silently, making people feel uneasy just by looking at her.
Jiang Xiuxiu took a closer look, and saw that the old man’s fingers were holding the keychain with the house keys.
Jiang Xiuxiu: “…” Isn’t it? Could it be that the old man found out that there was a problem with the key! ?
After finding the old man on the first floor, Jiang Xiuxiu’s expression changed.
She grabbed Ye Ming’s hand, stepped back, and whispered, “Go!”
It’s best not to let the old man know about them stealing the keys, so as to avoid any unexpected changes.
However, just as she uttered that word, the old man suddenly looked towards the stairwell where they were standing if he was aware of it!
Suddenly, Jiang Xiuxiu met her eyes!
“What are you doing here?”
When the old man saw Jiang Xiuxiu, he naturally noticed Ye Ming who was being held tightly by her.
The old man’s dark eyes stared at Jiang Xiuxiu, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and what he said was eerie: “Those who do wrong will be punished by the gods.”
The old man’s words meant something, and the malice in it was barely concealed.
But when Jiang Xiuxiu heard what she said, she knew that the old man hadn’t noticed that one key was missing for the time being.
Otherwise, the old man will not say such specious words, but will directly question it.
After thinking about it, Jiang Xiuxiu heaved a sigh of relief.
But before she could feel relieved for too long, the meaning of the old man’s words gave her quite a headache.
Oops, it seems that the act of stealing keys can’t “make big things small and small things”.
The last time I heard the five words “God’s punishment” was before player No. 12 failed the game and was swallowed into the mirror.
Now the old man used the same words, obviously telling Jiang Xiuxiu that if she did something she shouldn’t have done, she would be punished accordingly.
The old man didn’t find out that the keys were missing, but that didn’t mean she wouldn’t find out in the future.
Once the old man noticed it, the sneaky Jiang Xiuxiu and Ye Ming would definitely be the first suspects.
She must find a way to completely remove this potential threat!
In just a few short breaths, many thoughts flashed in Jiang Xiuxiu’s mind.
The next second, she raised her head directly and retorted back unceremoniously: “What’s wrong, old woman? What if I did something wrong? It’s so hard for the gods to take care of my personal emotional affairs?”
The impression she gave the old man was basically of “daring” and “extremely thick-skinned”.
According to this temper, absolutely right!
“How dare you insult the gods!”
Hearing Jiang Xiuxiu’s contemptuous words, the old man was furious and scolded sharply.
But soon, the old man noticed something wrong in Jiang Xiuxiu’s words: “…Wait, who are you?”
Jiang Xiuxiu rolled her eyes at her, and pushed Ye Ming into the stairwell pretending to be impatient.
At the same time as pushing, she did not forget to pretend to be casual, and said a few words casually: “It’s really disappointing, let’s make an appointment later, if it’s found out, it’s over. I don’t want to break up with him now.”
Jiang Xiuxiu never concealed that he and Ye Ming were a couple, and the old man 80% knew it.
Now, after listening to Jiang Xiuxiu’s words, the old man’s expression changed instantly.
This young girl is actually looking for a mistress without telling her boyfriend! ?
“You, you…you have no shame!”
The old man couldn’t accept this kind of unethical thing, so he scolded Jiang Xiuxiu: “Do you deserve your parents by doing this? Are you worthy of your lover?”
When Jiang Xiuxiu came over, she was walking in front, and Ye Ming was behind her.
With the dim light, the old man naturally couldn’t recognize the person beside Jiang Xiuxiu.
Hearing the old man’s accusation, Jiang Xiuxiu didn’t panic at all: “There are multiple friends and multiple roads, multiple husbands and multiple homes, what’s the problem?”
Anyway, she had already offended the old man before, and she was not afraid if she was in debt.
The old man: “You, you are wrong!”
Jiang Xiuxiu: “You’re talking absurdly. Everything I have now is the result of my hard work! I have three wives and four concubines by my ability, why do you scold me?”
The old man… The old man felt that he was no match for Jiang Xiuxiu at all.
“Let’s go,” the old man gave up talking with Jiang Xiuxiu and waved his hand directly, “Your business has nothing to do with me.”
“Why doesn’t it matter?”
Jiang Xiuxiu was reluctant. Her goal has not yet been achieved: “I want to get you more keys, I need private space.”
elder:”……”
What kind of private space, this is clearly to find a concubine for a private meeting!
Recalling the clean and fresh young man beside Jiang Xiuxiu, the old man couldn’t bear it, he only felt that his head was green.
Oh, what a good boy, what a pity…
The old man looked at her gloomily for a long time, and finally reluctantly gave Jiang Xiuxiu the keychain in his hand.
After all, this is the work of the elderly, the responsibility of the elderly, and they cannot go on strike because of personal emotions.
Jiang Xiuxiu was overjoyed when she got the keychain, but she still had a picky look on her face.
“The third floor… No, it’s inconvenient, it’s the fourth floor…”
While shaking the keychain, she put the two keys back without leaving a trace, and took off the key to her own house.
During this whole process, Jiang Xiuxiu behaved like a peerless stream of water, without the slightest loophole.
When she took back the key and turned back happily, she saw Ye Ming standing in the stairwell, smiling slightly at her.
The smile on Ye Ming’s face was gentle and clean, and he looked very comfortable.
But Jiang Xiuxiu only glanced at it, and his scalp felt numb, and his desire to survive exploded.
Jiang Xiuxiu: “…”
Jiang Xiuxiu: “Ahaha… This, this is the expedient measure…”
Ye Ming’s smile didn’t change: “A trick to give me a cuckold?”
Jiang Xiuxiu: “…why don’t you think about it from another angle, isn’t it exciting to wear a cuckold yourself?”
Ye Ming said with a smile: “Oh? Is that so?”
He blinked and thought for a while: “It sounds like that’s the case.”
Although Ye Ming’s tone was affirmative, Jiang Xiuxiu felt that he seemed even more unhappy.
…I didn’t expect men to be so difficult to coax.
Jiang Xiuxiu thought for a while and asked tentatively, “Ye Ming, is there anything wrong with my words?”
“no.”
Ye Ming shook his head and slowly raised the corners of his mouth: “I just think that since I am greening myself, at least I have to be green enough, right?”
What is “green to”?
Jiang Xiuxiu was slightly startled when she heard the words.
But before she could understand, Ye Ming suddenly lowered his head and bit her lip.
His movements were quick and a little rude. Taking advantage of Jiang Xiuxu’s unpreparedness, he kissed him with an unusually strong gesture.
Jiang Xiuxiu: ! ! !
Being caught off guard by being kissed, Jiang Xiuxiu was stunned.
Jiang Xiuxiu felt that Ye Ming’s fingers seemed to touch the back of his neck.
This action is a little familiar…
If it weren’t for the fact that the person who kissed her was Ye Ming, she almost thought that he would bite her mouth open.
Jiang Xiuxiu quickly captured this subtle familiarity, which made her panic uncontrollably when she was at a loss.
An absurd thought that was forcibly pressed down many times resurfaced in her mind.
And this time, it was more aggressive than the previous ones.
Ye Ming’s movements were very light.
His fingers just touched the back of Jiang Xiuxiu’s neck slightly, and in the next second, they were retracted.
He didn’t kiss for a long time, and after two seconds, he looked up again.
Looking at the dumb Jiang Xiuxiu, he tilted his head, chuckled lightly, and said, “Let’s go.”
Jiang Xiuxiu looked at him steadily, and finally smiled and said, “Okay.”
After speaking, they naturally won’t stay on the first floor any longer.
Soon, the two walked upstairs.
Along the way, Jiang Xiuxiu and Ye Ming were extremely silent.
Jiang Xiuxiu didn’t speak because she was thinking about other things, but Ye Ming, she didn’t know what he was thinking.
There was no light in the stairwell because it was not late at night.
The corridor was dark, and the two held each other’s hands, and the shadows merged in the long corridor.
Like many times before, they walked through this corridor.
Just walking, for some reason, Ye Ming suddenly asked.
“Jiang Xiuxiu,” his voice was indifferent, as if he said casually, “Do you really like me?”
“Of course.”
Jiang Xiuxiu didn’t understand what he was saying: “Of course I like you, otherwise why would I fall in love with you.”
Ye Ming heard the words, tilted his head and looked at Jiang Xiuxiu: “Then what do you like about me, because I can accompany you in reality?”
His eyes were dark black, and when he looked at Jiang Xiuxiu, his eyes were full of confusion, pure and clean.
Jiang Xiuxiu: “How is it possible, why do you think so?”
She glared at Ye Ming and pulled her hand out of Ye Ming’s palm: “Don’t ask questions, hurry up and prepare dinner, I’m starving to death!”
After Jiang Xiuxiu said this, Ye Ming stopped asking.
“Okay,” he blinked and said with a bit of grievance, “then let’s go eat.”
After that, the two stopped at the stairs on the second floor.
Ye Ming walked in first, while Jiang Xiuxiu took a step behind and stood behind him.
During this process, Jiang Xiuxiu’s eyes were always fixed on Ye Ming’s back.
She didn’t know what to think, her eyes flickered, and finally sank.
…
Next, it’s almost time for lunch at 6pm.
After Jiang Xiuxiu and Ye Ming packed up, they went to the restaurant on the second floor.
It’s a pity that good things don’t go out, and bad things travel thousands of miles.
As soon as Jiang Xiuxiu entered the restaurant, she could feel that the eyes of the people around her were all directed towards her and Ye Ming.
Compared with the fluttering glance before, the players’ eyes were quite hot, and they almost didn’t burn a hole in Jiang Xiuxiu and Ye Ming.
After they entered the kitchen, a male player patted Ye Ming on the shoulder sympathetically, and comforted: “Brother, learn to be strong.”
Ye Ming: “…”
Jiang Xiuxiu: “…”
No, the gossip spread so fast! ?
Jiang Xiuxiu was speechless and could not clarify.
She had to finish her meal quickly, and then hurriedly returned to her room before Ye Ming was upset.
Next, they don’t do anything else.
After taking a shower, the two of them lay on the bed one after another.
Feeling the passage of time, the irresistible feeling of exhaustion swept in again.
Jiang Xiuxiu closed his eyes and welcomed the start of the second game.
