Chapter 69: Shackles(1/3)

Everything has returned to its original point, and the sleeping hotel seems to have given residents a rest.

The power of the rules in the dark was silent together. Almost instantly, Yu Xing realized that the rule of "lying down" was no longer there.

The more you have the power of a high position, the easier it is to sense those abstract concepts, rules, illusions, reality, and the power of curses have natural advantages in this regard.

Yu Xing turned over and got out of bed, and while pulling back the branches tied to Zhang Yu's body, he pushed the door out.

As he had just seen, the corridor was clean and had no trace of cruelty, but it wasn't really left nothing - the deducer who had become a flesh-and-blood ghost would never be resurrected.

The moment he stepped onto the ground of the corridor, the system made a sound again.

【You have triggered side quests: The Last Warmth】

[This side mission is triggered by the area, and all the current deducers in the sleeping hotel will receive a prompt.]

【Punishment for Mission Failure: Unknown】

[Task success reward: settled separately based on the contribution of each deducer in the task]

As the system says, the announcement was issued to seven speculators at the same time.

Maybe I guessed that some people would learn about the fate of the Dark Star members in various ways and dared not get up. The system also added a separate sentence—

【Special reminder: Now is a safe time】

[Please all the deducers who receive the task go to the corridor to gather]

The system said so, and footsteps of different frequencies came from each room.

Not long after, the doors were opened one by one, revealing the faces of different expressions of everyone.

"Captain!" Zhang Yu saw Yu Xing's figure in the empty corridor at a glance. He immediately trotted and his eyes lit up, "It was the captain who saved me just now!"

"I didn't want to save me, but I couldn't help it. It's not enough to struggle with such things." Yu Xing told the truth. He wanted Zhang Yu to exercise in the event, and this was originally an assessment of Zhang Yu's joining team.

However, the difficulty of Nanshui Town activities must be at least at the level of despair to adapt. At the beginning, the system said that the level of joining the activity was not limited. In his opinion, it was completely recruiting some low-level cannon fodder for high-levels.

The sleeping hotel is not very dangerous. He originally thought that if it was a test of the deducer's acumen to detect the rules, such as measuring whether he could open the door, get up, talk back, or what corresponding methods should be used to deal with such things if he was provoked...

Then he will let Zhang Yu do it himself.

However, he could not think in advance that the Sleeping Hotel could intuitively let people know the process of the deducer's transformation into a flesh-and-blood ghost.

The illusion that is enough to freeze thinking is not something that Zhang Yu can resist.

Hua Subai and Lan Wu soon walked over. After the remaining three people found that one person was missing from them, they guessed what happened to that person.

No matter how reluctant they are, they are worried that they can only gather silently when facing such regional and difficult tasks.

When the three of them approached, the system issued the next prompt.

[The mysterious residents in the Sleeping Hotel have already staged a good show in front of you.]

The system doesn't care whether they saw it with their own eyes or just heard the chaotic scene through a door, but in short, they summarized what just happened in just one sentence.

The cold and emotional mechanical voice:

[The cold is the fear engraved in their souls, and they always repeat the final struggle over and over again.]

[Task Description: Every hour, the child's mother's help scene will be triggered again. When triggering, the deducer cannot leave the wooden bed in the room. He needs to lie down in time to pretend to fall asleep. Once it is found that he has not "slept", it is considered a violation.]

[Whether the scene ends until the next scene triggers, the deducer can move freely, enter each room to find clues, deduce the background of the scene, and find a way to make the scene no longer repeat.]

[This task will last until 6 o'clock in the morning. If it is not completed, the task will be invalid and the punishment will be unknown.]

[Note: As long as one deducer ends the cycle of the scene, it is considered as a successful mission for all members.]

"So, it doesn't matter if you don't participate." The remaining man on Dark Star said hesitantly.

He saw the eyes of others looking at him and hurriedly explained: "I mean, if I don't participate in free activities, as long as I pay attention to the scene cycle every hour, I will not compete with you for the contribution of the task completion, and your reward will be higher."

His friend looked at him a little disagreeably: "When did you...be braver?"

"If I had known this was the case, why would you sign up for this event? Chen Run and I have reminded you."

"At the beginning, I didn't know that there would be so many people at the level of guild presidents participating!" The man said, and glanced at Yu Xing with fear. "I originally thought it was about the same level as other live broadcast deductions, but today you also saw that the danger of Nanshui Town is much higher than we imagined!"

"I don't have to knock on the door to know that he must have died inside." The man pointed to the door opposite Yu Xing, which obviously prompted him to make this decision, thanks to his dead companions.

"I don't know what the ticket is, and I don't want to compete for it, so don't take me." After that, he hurried back to his room without waiting for someone else to answer.

While walking, he quietly aimed at Yu Xing and the other two with his own light until he entered the room without being stopped. He breathed a sigh of relief.

The sound of the door closing reached the ears of the remaining people. The two scattered people who had a good relationship with the Dark Star members looked at each other awkwardly.

Before coming to the hotel, I agreed to join the group. After a while, one of them died and one was scared away. So what should they do next?!

Originally, four people were all teaming up, and the efficiency should not be much different when searching for clues, so there is still capital for cooperation.

As a result, they only have two people now. Not only are they not safe enough, they are also easily isolated by the other four people in terms of information.

Isn’t it because the Dark Star members have a shadow over being treated as cannon fodder that they have been posing as uninterference with the captain of the Broken Mirror from the beginning? Now, some people say they don’t care.

"That, it's like this..." The man named Chen Run coughed and turned his head to Yu Xing, "Everyone has the same task. You can sleep well early and feel at ease. Otherwise, let's work together and discuss what you find?"

The other person behind him also nodded quickly.

Yu Xing pushed the thin-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said nothing. Hua Subai smiled and said, "You guys are wondering, why do you think about working with people who are as good as snakes and scorpions?"

Also, there is no such thing as a snake or scorpion... Chen Run wanted to murmur, but somehow he couldn't speak under the gaze of the man in front of him.

Lan Wu often sees such scenes - some people sway for no reason, first being self-righteous and prejudiced, and then turning to climb up when they are forced to show off to Medusa or beg for mercy.

Generally speaking, Medusa disdains to contact such people at all, and she cannot say that she is not very jealous. Instead, there is no need to trust these people, even if it is short-term.

Such people are already biased against themselves, so how can they expect them to do what they really want? The current situation has come to me. If the crisis is resolved later, would they still leave?

Even if he offered a lot of benefits, Medusa would not accept it. When he arrived at Yu Xing, the other party even mentioned the word "cooperation" when the conditions were already unequal.

Put the information found together to discuss?

One side has more people and stronger abilities, while the other side has only two people. This is both a matter of regret and a free sex job.

How could anyone treat everyone else as a fool?

Everyone in Dark Star knows that if you don’t participate, it won’t affect other people’s contribution. These two people are better, and they want to give away their contributions for free.

Lan Wu stood quietly, curiously trying to see how Broken Mirror would deal with such a thing. Should he go back with verbal mockery or ignore it directly?

Zhang Yu was thinking about the fact that he was frozen just now and could hear the movements coming from the corridor. When he was awake, he found the atmosphere in the air.

He immediately understood that this was a live broadcast. Once something was involved in "cooperation", Yu Xing could not respond to it.

At least it is an existence of Yan Limedusa who can discuss cooperation with Yu Xing as the leader of a certain force. The two scattered people in front of him are a little whimsical. Not to mention the necessity of cooperation, he feels that the captain doesn't take these two seriously at all.

If you don’t take prejudice seriously, you will naturally not take prejudice seriously like the current proposal. If you want to pursue "focus", then you should do it well without any concealment of alienation and avoidance before.

I really don’t know whether they should lament their different acumen for identity when it comes to being cannon fodder, or their ambiguity in the concept of identity when it comes to cooperation?

"Sorry, you two, I don't think there is any need to cooperate for the time being." Zhang Yu raised a false smile at the sight, "We don't have to interfere with the rivers. We will not obstruct and disturb you, and don't insult our IQ."

My companions wanted to fight for it, so Chen Run grabbed the person in time and gave a smile: "I'm sorry, then I wish you complete the task sooner, haha, I can still ask your blessing to avoid the task punishment and rest early."

The two finally left. They should be heading to the corridor where Hua Subai and Lan Wu's rooms are located, and decided to make some contributions by themselves.

If you read that correctly, when you passed by the door of the Dark Star member's room, the two of them stared at the door at the same time.

It seems that their friendship is not very strong in the face of interests.

Yu Xing didn't want to comment on such things that he didn't care about. He was not the Virgin, so he had to rush to fulfill his reputation that was useless.

He also turned around and said, "Before one, let's search each room together. If you are afraid that you can't master the exact time, you can go to the lobby to see the wall clock."

"Did you feel anything before in your respective rooms?"

Zhang Yu's smile this time was much more sincere: "I feel the captain's protection for me."

Yu Xing: "..."

Lan Wuye smiled: "I feel the protection of Boss Hua."

Yu Xing:.

Forget it, these two are both struggling, and it is normal that they can't find anything.

Hua Subai looked at his expression and wanted to laugh, and said seriously: "I noticed something, but you also know that our abilities... are very similar to some extent, and there may be no additional discoveries."

Yu Xing put his hand back into his pocket and said quietly: "I'm so humble, Boss Hua."

[What are these riddle people saying?]

[Highly, Boss Hua.]

[So what did the two of them notice? Why didn't I know anything! I could only hear the woman outside slamming the door, then talking to a child, then there seemed to be a dispute, and finally a lot of people suddenly appeared?]

[Is it unknown whether it is the person? The live broadcast perspective is fixed on the people participating in the event. We cannot synchronize the alternative perspective they obtain with special offerings!]

[Ah? What do you mean is that when Boss Hui and Boss Hua were lying on the bed, they had already read what happened in the corridor? How did they do it?]

[Are you a newbie upstairs? Many big guys can do this. Only you can't imagine it, but they can't do it. Of course, I can't do it either o(╥﹏╥)o ]

Fortunately, not all the people on the screen are big shots.

After listening for a while, Zhang Yu, who had absolute sensitivity to information, felt a little distressed because he missed the information: "Captain, what happened outside at that time?"
To be continued...
