In the world of strange rules, abstract and complex, [infinite]

Standing banquet dining rule number 6: This area staff will not take the initiative to respond to you. If you encounter a staff member taking the initiative to respond to you, please immediately stand up and leave, go to the dining hall, enter the metal door and lock it, wait 5 minutes and then leave.

The male student stiffly raised his head and looked straight at Tian Qingqing, then stood up and forcefully squeezed past Tian Qingqing, running straight to the north side of the cafeteria.

Going to the north side, he indeed saw a metal door, so he immediately pushed the door open and entered, locking the door tightly, then through the small window above the glass door observed the movements outside.

The short incident of a few dozen seconds gave the male student a feeling of surviving an accident.

He was not very clear about the consequences of being proactively answered by the staff member. The main reason was that he was not very clear. He had filled in countless possible outcomes in his brain. Now that he had escaped into this house, the danger was hidden outside. The male student felt extremely lucky.

... So he didn't notice at all, behind him was a room with an independent wooden door, on the other side there was also a sink, next to the sink was toilet paper, mobile drying rack full of everything.

Wei Wu had been waiting in the other room for a long time. Hearing the commotion in the room, he walked out of the room and quietly looked at the male student in front of him.

The male student's body was already covered in a faint layer of blue, this kind of blue could only be seen by the blue-clothed waiter, meaning that the other party had changed from the usual "Unable to recruit" status of a guest to "But recruiting" status. Wei Wu's guess was that this also meant that the other party had been contaminated, if he accepted the invitation, the contamination would be eliminated; if he did not accept the invitation, the contamination would probably continue... Then it would be over if he could leave the Rule Realm.

"Who." Wei Wu stepped forward and grabbed the boy's shoulder. The boy suddenly turned around like a frightened bird.

Looking at the waiter in front of him, he was so scared that his hair stood on end, but then, he finally noticed where this place was.

——separate room, wash basin, hand drying air... This is obviously a bathroom.

Buffet dinner rules number 3: This buffet restaurant does not have restrooms, if you need to use the restroom, please turn right and walk 30 meters out the door.

The male student was furious: "You... You you you..."

"Don't be afraid." Wei Wu didn't do anything that would make the other party react, and calmly hugged his arms, "Actually, I'm also a player, but I only have to complete a specific mission before I can leave the dungeon. You can join our camp, so you don't have to worry about breaking the rules just now."

"..." The male student was surprised, immediately falling into the same confusion as last night's Tian Qingqing.

Can the other party believe it or not?

What if I fall in his trap?

Just now against the rules problem what should be done now?

He also quickly thought of the last rule of the hotel: If any blue-uniformed staff member tries to invite you to become my colleague, this hotel sincerely recommends that you accept the invitation.

But is this rule real or fake?

He was originally lucky that as an "ordinary person" the probability of entering the dungeon was not high, but now he hoped that he could get his hands on some props...

.

In the dining area, after the customers ran away in panic, Tian Qingqing took back the food trays step by step according to the original plan. Even if the leader came back in a moment and saw her, she couldn't be accused of breaking the rules.

In fact, their rule does not include "If you wash the dishes in the back of the kitchen, you cannot come out to collect them". The reason why they avoided receiving the order was because a careful senior gave them an experience statement based on common logic.

Ye Xi sat not far away, indifferent and cold. Feeling something was wrong, he quickly drank the soy milk and started using the tool to verify that the staff would not proactively respond to the rules when eating. Then he saw that all the rules were marked as "Fake".

The prop in her hand is the [Distinguishing Dog], not the fake weapon]. Compared to the [Distinguishing Tool], the [Distinguishing Dog] marking method is much more sophisticated, it will mark out the specific rules of the fake, this kind of situation where all the fakes are eliminated is very rare.

Diep Tich silently corrected his thoughts:

"The staff of this area will not proactively respond to you" is false, it does not matter whether the staff proactively responds.

"If the staff member takes the initiative to respond to your situation, please stand up and leave immediately" is false, meaning this kind of self-protection method is really not needed.

"Go to the restaurant in the north, enter the metal door and lock it, wait 5 minutes and then leave" is fake...

Diep Tich instinctively looked to the north side, showing a sorrowful expression towards the customer who had just fled in panic.

After finishing the last sip of soy milk, Ye Xi placed the empty cup on the table. Wu Yue, who was still searching for her target, glanced over and immediately smiled and walked forward: "Madam, can I collect this empty cup for you?"

Sitting opposite the dry rice, Ta Giang suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with fear.

Diep Tich reported with the same smile, looking towards Ngo Duyet: "Okay, thank you."

"!!!" Xie Jiang was so scared that he almost threw up the cake he had just eaten. Wu Yue's eyes, which were originally filled with anticipation, suddenly dimmed.

She didn't make a sound as she helped Diep Tich collect the cup, then went to find the next target.

Ta Giang swallowed the cake: "You you you you have forgotten..."

"Not forgetting." Diep Tich said indifferently, "That is a fake rule."

"?!" Ta Giang's eyes widened, "Why?!"

Ye Xi smiled and slowly recited the original text once: "The staff of this area will not proactively respond to you. If you encounter a staff member proactively responding to you, please immediately stand up and leave. Go to the north side of the cafeteria first, enter through the metal door and lock it. Wait 5 minutes and then leave."

Then he said again: "This area staff will not proactively respond to you. If a staff member proactively responds to you, please immediately stand up and go to the north side of the cafeteria. Enter through the metal door and lock it. Wait 5 minutes and then leave."

The difference between the two words "chi shu" was too small. Xie Jiang reacted a bit before realizing where the difference was. He was startled: "What you mean is, if you really want to escape to the north, you should find the words 'please get up immediately and go to the north side restaurant', instead of writing 'please get up immediately and leave, go to the north side restaurant'?"

"Yes." Diep Tich nodded complacently, "Experienced statement."

It is an experienced statement, she would like to test this rule also to discover this word search detail.

However, just by this contrast, it can only prove that "Going to the North Side Metal Gate first" is fake, and cannot prove that "The staff will not proactively respond to you" is fake. Props told her that even these words were fake, she was also very surprised. Without wanting to reveal that she had Props, she was also unable to explain this problem to Xie Jiang.

So she thought in her heart that if Xie Jiang asked, she would admit that she had the props. After all, Xie Jiang could distinguish dogs, and it was not worth taking her.

... But Xie Jiang did not react to this problem at all.

"So that's how it is ——" he nodded in realization, then cupped his hands towards Diep Tich, "Big boss, big boss!"

.

In the cafeteria restroom, the male student, after a period of psychological struggle, accepted the "enchantment" of the guard and agreed to join the blue-clothed waiter camp.

The progress of the Guard mission increased to 9/10. Last night, he pressed the rules to help Tian Qingqing get 1 more point. This time, it was just his turn. In other words, if he got 1 more point, he would be able to clear the customs.

So he was in a very good mood, he brought the male student upstairs to get the uniform and electronic card, then very carefully made an introduction, a look like he was inviting the other party to join his team. But the male student was obviously in the opposite mood, moreover unlike Tian Qingqing who was robbed of the room card by someone else and was invited to join by them, the male student completely fell into the trap set by the four of them, at this time he was filled with resentment, completely did not want to interact with them anymore.

So the male student had a bad expression and wanted to go complete the mission himself. The guards did not stop him and let him leave. He returned to the restaurant to find his teammates.

During his back and forth time, his teammates successfully prepared and captured 1 point, this 1 point was given to Wu Yue, Wu Yue's mission progress also reached 7/10, victory was in sight!

.

After eating and drinking their fill, Diep Tich and Ta Giang left the restaurant together and instinctively looked at the time, 8:17.

It was already 8 o'clock, even though it was winter, the sky should be bright. Ye Xi quickly decided: Let's go to the public hot spring area to take a look.

"..." Xie Jiang cringed and tried to be careful, "That... If private hot springs are safe, then why don't we go to public hot springs?"

Diep Tich glanced at him and did not forcefully advise: "Then you go upstairs first. If I see any clues, I will send you a WeChat message."

Ta Giang was shocked and quickly made up his mind: "Okay, let's go together!"

Fear of fear, but he still felt that it was not appropriate for a girl to go exploring alone.

Diep Tich nodded and went to check out the hot spring inside the house. According to the rules of the guest room, the hot spring inside the house was on the B1 floor. They took the elevator down and arrived in the blink of an eye.

The elevator door opened, a wave of humidity hit me.

"Hello, would you like to experience the hot springs?" A red-clothed waiter greeted him first. Ye Xi stopped and glanced over.

In front of them was a small hall used to receive guests, set with a single serving station, but she did not see the expected division rules.

The waiter enthusiastically introduced: "The hot spring experience can be held on the lucky wheel to hold a lucky draw, are you interested in taking a chance?"

Ye Xi glanced at the waiter and noticed the turntable placed on the waiter's side. But her gaze never lingered much, nor did she ask about the detailed rules of the lucky draw, only saying: "Can I just take a look first?"

"Of course you can." The waiter was very polite, "Please come this way, as long as you don't go into the other gender's dressing room, you can look everywhere else."

"Alright, we'll just go by ourselves, you don't need to follow us." Ye Xi chased the waiter away, stopped at the entrance of the men's and women's changing room, and said to Xie Jiang in a low voice, "Go around the changing room and see if there are any rules. If there are, take a set, then go to the hot springs area to meet; if there aren't any, go directly to the hot springs area to see. Don't touch anything else that you can't touch."

Under no pre-determined rules, not touching randomly is a simple way to protect yourself.

Ta Giang was a bit nervous, he nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

The two of them split up from there, each going to a different changing room. As soon as Xie Jiang entered the door, a waiter greeted him: "Welcome."

"... I'll just look at it!" Xie Jiang's head was down and he was walking faster, looking like he was self-absorbed.

Waiter: "..."

>

/>

Entering the women's changing room, Ye Xi was greeted with the same welcome. The attendant wearing a blue uniform smiled and said, "Welcome, ma'am. The public hot spring area requires a swimsuit. If you don't bring your own, we can provide one for free. There are many styles to choose from."

She said as she stretched out her hand to lead, Diep Tich looked towards the wall at the end of the dressing room, there was indeed a wall of swimsuits hanging.

Diep Tich smiled: "I'm not going to the hot springs for now, so I thought I'd take a look first. Can the waiter in red outside say anything?"

"... Of course you can." The blue-clothed waitress said, and Ye Xi caught a clear trace of unnaturalness in her expression.

Diep Tich recalled the stormy morning meal——it seemed that no matter what the situation, the red-clothed waiter had the upper hand over the blue-clothed waiter.

She thought through the changing room, nothing was done, just opened a storage box to look around, then went straight into the hot spring area. Xie Jiang was almost there, looking at the vast underground space in front of him, he asked Ye Xi: "Do you want to see it one by one..."

Looking around, this place has a space of about ten thousand square meters. Large and small hot springs of all kinds are filled with mist and smoke, and on both sides there are many independent small houses, at first glance they are hot spring houses.

But Diep Tich only looked left and right: "No need, let's go, return from the changing room by the old route, still don't touch anything, just enter the meeting position."

Xie Jiang was stunned, Ye Xi had already turned around and returned to the women's changing room. Xie Jiang had no choice but to turn back, and did not stop on the way. After just over a minute, he met Ye Xi again at the entrance. Ye Xi glanced at the small listening service staff, pressed the elevator button, and after entering the elevator door, explained to Xie Jiang: "The entire underground hot spring area has no rules, including the storage counter. This kind of situation is not completely unlikely to happen, but it seems illogical here, so we want to go to the above-ground hot spring area to take a look."

"... Why is there something illogical here?" Xie Jiang's thoughts couldn't keep up, considering that he had only participated in the rookie dungeon once, he humbly asked, "In the official dungeon, will each region have its own independent rules?"

"Most of the dungeon, yes." Ye Xi nodded, "But what I said was illogical is because from the information leaked from the guest room rules, the functions of all types of hot springs are actually the same, which is to relax the nerves, and at the same time, the private hot spring baths in the guest rooms are completely safe——once the participants discover this, the public hot spring area will completely lose its appeal."

"If you were the fake copy designer, and your goal was to capture people's heads, would you be willing to let all participants temporarily live in the empty room while running the new map?"

"So I feel that the public hot spring area must have something different. This kind of thing is extremely attractive to the dungeon participants. Even if they know that private hot springs are safer, they will still risk coming here to try something."

Ta Giang hesitated and said: "Like that lucky draw spinning wheel?"

"Yes." Ye Xi nodded, "The lucky draw explains this suspicious point, so the next problem is——if you are a copy designer, your goal is to collect heads, would you spend so much effort to design a very large area, but only to provide lucky draw benefits to the participants?"

"... No." Xie Jiang understood.

Xie Jiang belatedly realized that Ye Xi's thoughts here were the same as the thoughts of the guest room ordering food and the safety service. At that time, he felt that he had learned it... Now he realized that he had not learned it at all.

According to Ye Xi's logic, the lucky draw benefits could appear, but it could be placed casually in front of the stage or at a buffet. Appearing in a public hot spring like this private area, it was clearly not that simple.

Xie Jiang nodded while trying to digest the information: "So that turntable must have a hole? If we had just started rotating it directly, would it have been contaminated?"

"There is this possibility." Diep Tich agreed with his detective, paused for a moment, then said, "But perhaps it is not just that."

How to say it, if it is just to set up a lucky draw that will pollute the audience, making one occupy ten thousand square meters of land, and at the same time take care of the indoor and outdoor hot spring area is still too exaggerated.

Same kind of assumption set in the mall rules weird talk, only one of them is clothing store not blinking small item.

"Ding keng ——" the elevator stopped again, Diep Tich went out and turned left, straight to the back door of the hotel building.

Going out from the back door is the hotel's backyard, which is also the hot spring area outside. The weather is currently bright, and the night outside is no longer gloomy. If it weren't for the golden sand that covers the sky as a fixed backdrop, the scenery with mountains and water would be very beautiful.

.

"Clink ——"

The elevator door on the B1 floor opened again. The red-clothed waiter who was originally sitting and eating behind the service desk looked up and saw four burly men coming out of the elevator.

The cardinal servant lowered his eyes.

The Strange Talk mode has been down for nearly three months, and now there have been quite a few small teams spontaneously organized by players. The recruitment conditions of each team are different, and quite a few of them are currently like this —— each team member has a strong body, and more than half of them are still holding special props and fake identities.

Many people who do not have experience with the rules of the game will certainly think that if they have to build a team based on the rules of the game, they will naturally prioritize "intelligent talent". In fact, this kind of idea is very natural.

First of all, "intelligent talent" is a rare phenomenon at any time. Second, the standard of "intelligence" is difficult to quantify. The dungeon has a myriad of strange ideas, and there are no high-level intelligence nerds who can show their strengths in the dungeon.

On the contrary, although "Physical strength talent" is not seen much, it is easy to quantify. Establishing such a team and thinking of ways to equip it with enough attack and defense equipment is also a life-saving idea. For people who think their brains are not good enough, this kind of operation is too short.

The red-robed waiter smiled and greeted him first: "Hello, welcome. Would you like to try the hot springs?"

After speaking, he paused for a moment, then continued as usual: "The hot spring experience can be held on the lucky wheel to hold a lucky draw, are you interested in solving it?"

"Lucky big spinning plate?" The leader of the men had a fierce expression, hearing this he raised his eyebrows, obviously a little interested in this, but he did not lose his guard, "Do you have any rules here, let us see first?"

Sure enough, his IQ is not high —— the red-clothed waiter sighed in his heart.

In some special dungeons, directly interacting with NPCs requires stepping on lightning.

But she did not show it, slowly smiling and saying: "No sir, we here do not have any solitary rules."

"Is that so?" The man's eyes lit up, "Then how do you draw the prize?"

The waiter bowed: "Every 30 minutes you stop in this area, you can draw a lucky draw once, the number of times can be stacked."

The man asked again: "What's the reward?"

"Ah, there are many types of rewards, sir." The waiter gave an example with a kind expression, "The most common ones are cash rewards, store shopping privileges, and also discounted accommodation…"

"Not bad!" The man's eyes brightened as he strode towards the changing room, "Let's try it out, once every half hour, right?"

"Yes sir." The waiter smiled in confirmation, before he could finish speaking, several people had already entered the changing room.

The red-clothed waitress's expression instantly turned cold as their figure disappeared. Because her duty had nothing to do with entertaining guests. To her, entertaining guests was a waste of time.

The reason why she still wanted to maintain an enthusiastic attitude was because her rules said: You are an outstanding worker who has worked in the hotel for a long time, you should have a professional service attitude and can also use professional language, otherwise you will be fired.

The four big men entered the changing room and were greeted by the blue-clothed waiter. The other blue-clothed waiters did their duty and provided them with swimming trunks, towels, and long swimsuits. They also introduced the changing room and bathroom locations.

The four of them changed into simple clothes, took a shower, and then headed towards the hot spring area. One of them was a bit hesitant: "Could it be that there is a hot spring here? It's a hot spring, if there is private room in the room, why would there be a public hot spring outside?"

The red-clothed waiter who took the initiative to respond to the casually said outside earlier: "Hot spring hotels are all like this. Besides, isn't this a lucky big spinning wheel? Can't you just say that you're in your own bathroom and you're also making a spinning wheel for yourself? Isn't that weird?"

... Also.

The companion was convinced, but because of his doubts just now, he was still a few steps slower than the others.

The three people in front of them jumped into the water one after the other, their strong bodies floating in the water, causing the surrounding waves to roll and stir.

"How is it?" The doubtful companion instinctively asked, "Is it normal?"

"Normal, just a normal hot spring..." The man said halfway and his eyes immediately widened.

The fake question made him take a half step back in fear: "What happened?!"

"Ah —— ah ——!!!" The three people in the pond looked at the water surface in fear, wanting to run away but finding it difficult to take a single step.

On the shore, the other person also saw that something was wrong. The originally calm hot spring seemed to be rapidly warming up. At first, the heat was getting stronger and stronger, but very quickly, it started to bubble up, indicating that the water was about to boil.

"A aaa!" The three people's skin began to rapidly rot, the intense pain made their faces ferocious.

Not knowing who was the first to fall, the whole person had not yet reached the pond. On the shore, the originally scared teammates also fell to the ground, staring in horror at the hellish scene before them.

... A few seconds later, he fell into the pond and stood up again.

His original appearance had already ceased to exist, his entire body was blood red, his facial features were blurry and unclear. On his entire red body, only one thing was clear, which was the endless pus-filled blisters...

Those pus-filled lumps under the blood-colored flesh rolled around, like boiling pond water constantly bubbling out.

"Hoo ——" its voice emitted a rough and heavy sound, like a zombie, its steps were not very coordinated, walking step by step towards the shore.

"Ah... Ah!!!" The originally scared teammate finally regained his senses from the intense sexual stimulation at this moment. He was like a spring that shot up and ran outside, screaming loudly: "Monster!!!"

Three corpses with faces covered in pus and blood staggered up the bank, letting out wild beastly roars.

Staying in the hotel on the ground outside the hot spring area, Diep Tich finally found the zone rules at the entrance.

The first rule is: This hotel's public hot spring area is only available outside, not indoors. If you want to experience the indoor hot spring, please use your private room.

"Roar ——!!!" A roar that clearly did not belong to a human pierced through the hotel's floor-to-ceiling glass window, entering the hot spring area.:,,.
