"Why are you here too?"

"Meow meow~"

Although he felt unbelievable, when Qi Jiu saw the little gray cat standing on the volcanic rocks, his exhausted mood was immediately soothed.

"Meow meow meow~" the little gray cat poked its round head toward him, sticking its butt out coquettishly for a hug.

Qi Jiu smiled and carefully wiped the water droplets on his hands on his yukata. He then picked up the little gray cat waiting by the pool and repeatedly rubbed his wet face against its fluffy fur.

[The passive skill "Cat's Blessing" has taken effect]

Qi Jiu's movement of rubbing against the cat paused slightly.

It turns out that this permanent passive skill will automatically pop up when his happiness value drops close to the critical value.

So the little gray cat in his arms now is just the physical projection of "cat's blessing".

But it doesn't matter, it doesn't stop him from masturbating Xiao Hui while soaking in the hot spring.

"Xiao Hui, I dreamed of you this afternoon."

"Meow meow meow!" The little gray cat squirmed its butt excitedly and rubbed against Qi's body more and more vigorously.

"You even showed me the way."

"Meow meow meow~" the little gray cat wagged its tail proudly.

"There is still you in the dream...the original owner." Qi Qiu paused, as if he was hesitating how to describe that guy's identity.

"Meow meow?"

Qi Jiu smiled, hugged the little gray cat and said in a daze: "His look is really... unforgettable."

The guy was holding a long pipe and looking at him with half-lidded eyelids, half-smiling but not smiling. It was really quite bewitching.

And what's even more subtle is that the eyes of the other party that are opposite to mine...are obviously the same as mine.

But it feels different.

This contradictory feeling of similarity and dissimilarity is really worrying.

"Meow meow meow?" The little gray cat didn't understand what Qi Jiu was saying to himself, but it didn't stop him from sticking his butt out and acting coquettishly.

Soon, Qi Ku's happiness value quickly increased by 30 points, and he successfully restored his happiness value to 67 points by blessing the cat.

The indescribable feeling of fatigue disappeared in an instant.

"Thank you," the little gray cat was about to leave after helping Qi Qiu recover his happiness level. "Be good and eat the dried fish at home. Don't be naughty and bite things. Wait until I get home."

Qi Jiu reluctantly rubbed its soft head again.

"Meow meow meow~" The little gray cat licked Qi Chu's palm for the last time and disappeared into the copy.

Qi Qiu stayed in the "White Dew" pool for another ten minutes before he walked out of the pool slowly. He wiped off the water drops on his body and put on his yukata again, and finally left the pool area with a will-o'-the-orange bamboo lantern.

At this time, all players have changed clothes from the bathroom and are waiting at the entrance of the hot spring gate.

Without Qi Gu holding a bamboo lantern to guide them, they couldn't return to the hotel by themselves.

It was very foggy and visibility was less than one meter.

Before Qi Qiu got closer, he heard a female player saying worriedly: "Why hasn't that NPC guy come out yet? Could it be that he encountered something unexpected?"

"Isn't that right? He is an NPC..."

"Who told you that NPCs can't be killed?"

"Maybe he froze to death in the hot spring pool."

"What should we do? We can't go back to the hotel without him..."

"There is a way, just get his bamboo lantern."

"Well, why don't any of you three men go in and take a look? If something happens to that NPC, just get his bamboo lantern back and let's go back to the hotel with our own lanterns. Waiting endlessly like this is not an option.

." The flaxen-haired girl with a round head in the trio suggested.

Unexpectedly, her proposal fell into disgrace and no male responded.

The three men looked at me, and I looked at you. Finally, the union leader said sarcastically: "That's okay...but wait a little longer. If we can't wait, go in and take a look."

The girl with the round head choked, and the blue-haired girl with twin tails next to her sneered: "Coward."

"Let's go to the male soup pool to find the NPC later." Twin Ponytails suggested.

"Is it okay for us to enter the men's pool? Doesn't it mean that girls can't enter?"

"Tell the old lady that you are looking for someone and see if she can be accommodating... Huh?"

The twin-ponytails who were making plans suddenly paused. Everyone looked along her line of sight and saw a blue light spot swaying in the thick white mist.

The light spot gradually became clearer and expanded, and the strange but reassuring will-o'-the-wisp lantern jumped into everyone's sight, and the masseur holding the lamp reappeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"I'm sorry, the hot spring pool is so comfortable. I couldn't help but soak in for a while longer and kept you all waiting." He pushed up the mask on his face and sincerely apologized to everyone.

Everyone: "..." nppc, maybe he is the only person here who has experienced a hot spring vacation.

Behind the mask, Qi Qiu's gaze keenly scanned the crowd.

He found that the union leader and his followers, who had just chosen the "Big Cold" soup pool, were now pale and had purple lips. It was obvious that they had been severely frozen and had not yet recovered;

However, the 101 men who chose the "Xiaohan" hot spring pool had traces of burns of different shades on their bodies. Qi Jiu was a little surprised. Logically speaking, the "Little Han" hot spring pool also had frostbite effects. Why did he have burns on his body? Until this man and the woman

After a friend complained that he was burned due to careless use of props, Qi found out the cause.

In comparison, the seven women in the soup pool next door looked safe and sound.

They obviously figured out the relationship between solar terms and pool water temperature faster than the three male players, effectively avoiding this crisis.

In addition, there are two psychic witches in the female soup pool, so it will not be too difficult to deal with the filth.

However, makeup was prohibited during bathing. The witch who always wore dark eyeshadow now looked bare-faced, and Qi Qiu almost didn't recognize her.

"Please take your belongings and let's return."

Qi Qiu walked at the front of the team. Before leaving, he bowed gently to the old lady guarding the hot spring and thanked her, "Thank you for the hospitality tonight. If you need massage, please be sure to contact the hotel. We will come to serve you at any time."

He promoted his business again.

"No problem, I'm looking forward to the young people's craftsmanship," the old woman wearing a neng mask said with a smile, "Welcome to visit again."

On the way back, fine snow fell, and the light white color reminded Qi Qiu of the maple leaves flying in the sky in his dreams, dyeing the night red.

Across the vast snow, Qi Qiu took one last look at the shrine covered in white, and then walked towards the hotel holding a will-o'-the-wisp lantern.

Along the way, he repeatedly recalled every detail after entering the dungeon, trying to sort out the clues in front of him and list the remaining doubts.

Now there are three questions to be solved: 1. What is the connection between the shrine oiran line and the hotel accident? What is the relationship between Miss Ikuko and the guy's role? 2. What are the identities of Xiaoya's mother and daughter? 3. There was an explosion in the hotel

The specific date of the accident.

He also noticed something interesting. The boss lady and the receptionist in this dungeon had seen his face, but they did not show any fleeting expressions like Miss Rossetti or the cafeteria aunt in the previous dungeon.

Surprised expression.

Although it was a small discovery not worth mentioning, Qi Jiu thought that this might also serve as one of the clues.

After all, as the "high-level" NPC, that guy must have some connection with the important NPC characters in the dungeon.

If neither the landlady nor the front desk knows "him", it means that his role in the hotel is not that important...

Qi Gu speculated that the world of the Accident Hotel was probably just the "surface world" of this copy.

[Congratulations on completing the "Hot Spring Open Day Bathing Experience" and unlocking Survival Coin*100]

After returning to the hotel, all travelers who went to the hot spring received survival coin rewards, and the witch happily gave the guide Qi Gu a tip of 20 coins.

"Thank you all day long," said the witch.

Qi Kui accepted the tip: "This is what I should do."

When the girl at the front desk saw everyone returning, her tone was a little anxious: "Something happened. After you went to the hot spring, the pregnant woman at the door of room 115 kept holding her belly and moaning. She looked very painful."

The witch's expression suddenly froze, and she and her apprentice tried to rush towards the door of Room 115. The girl at the front desk quickly added, "I was afraid that something might happen to her at the door of the room and no one would take care of her, so I temporarily moved her to the lounge.

I’ll take you there.”

So everyone followed the girl at the front desk to the lounge. Along the way, the girl at the front desk kept talking, "It's really unfortunate that the mountains are closed due to heavy snowfall and we can't call a doctor. I hope this expectant mother won't have any problems. It seems like she won't be able to use it."

How long will it take to give birth to a baby?"

The witch's expression changed slightly: "I hope so."

Before anyone could get closer, they heard continuous painful moans coming from the lounge.

But what's even weirder is that there are clearly people in the house, but the girl at the front desk treats it like an empty house, ignoring the groans in the house, raising her hand and knocking on the door three times: "We're in!"

She waited for two seconds before pushing the door open and entering.

Everyone saw her actions and felt even more horrified.

"Please, please... help me... it's starting again... it hurts me so much!" The girl struggled wildly in pain. At this moment, her whole body had rolled from the tatami to the ground, and she was lying on the ground in an extremely twisted posture, with a look on her face.

He was as white as paper, he was twitching in pain, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

The witch winked at her little apprentice. Her little apprentice immediately understood and hurriedly walked over and helped the girl with a big belly up from the ground. The witch immediately poured a cup of hot tea with her hands and feet. She took out a jar of red potion and pointed it at

There were a few drops in the cup.

Then she concentrated on crushing a pendulum pendant and dissolved the powder in the tea.

"Drink it." She handed the mixed tea to the girl with a calm tone.

With the morning's experience and trust, the girl, who was dying of pain, had given up thinking and asking, and impatiently drank all the tea with the help of the witch's apprentice.

As long as it can relieve the pain, as long as it can help her escape from this endless torture, no matter what it is... it can...

With such a desperate and expectant attitude, the girl with a bulging belly tilted her neck back and waited patiently for half a minute.

But it was completely opposite to the situation in the morning. Instead of relieving her pain, the witch's potion made her weird belly more prominent and the signs of activity inside became more frequent!

The girl's emotions collapsed in an instant. She slammed the cup in her hand to the ground, and the porcelain cup immediately broke into pieces: "What's going on?! What's going on... ahhhhh it hurts... it hurts so much.

"

Facing the girl who was almost convulsing in pain, the witch said calmly: "Be patient, we have reached the most critical moment."

She winked at her little apprentice, who skillfully fixed the struggling girl on the ground. The witch immediately lifted up the carpet in the lounge, crushed the pendulum in her hand again, and used colorful crystal powder to draw a formation on the ground.

, chanting a spell quickly in his mouth.

The girl's painful screams echoed through the hotel. Other players could hardly bear it and covered their ears. However, the witch continued to adjust the formation as if no one was around, moving her lips faster and faster.

About two minutes later, she finally stopped chanting the incantation and climbed over the formation in a surrendering posture on all fours. She then lifted the yukata off the girl's belly and put her ear against her hot belly.

At this time, the girl's belly became like a withered leaf, with red blood vessels beating vigorously on her belly, which was shocking.

The witch asked in a murmuring tone: "Be good, don't be afraid, tell me when you want to come to this world, and I will greet you."

The witch waited for a few seconds and repeated the words she just said several times. Finally, she seemed to hear something from the girl's swollen belly, and the corners of her lips raised slightly.

Then the witch's apprentice poured another potion into the girl's mouth, and then the girl gradually stopped crying. Her voice was already hoarse from shouting.

"Okay, I have worked hard for you just now," the witch bowed slightly to apologize to the girl who had lost her strength, "I will kill this monster for you later."

The dying girl opened her eyes in disbelief: "Really, really?"

The witch nodded: "I have got the 'due date' from it."

When she heard the word 'expected delivery', the girl who had just recovered from the severe pain almost blacked out.

The witch continued to explain: "It told me that it would come to this world on January 4th."

"According to the three cards drawn in the morning, the God of Death, the Wheel of Fortune, and the World, this is a cycle and alternation of life. When it is born, it means that we are about to die." The witch analyzed calmly.

"So, I think January 4th is the day when the ultimate disaster will strike."

The witch spoke calmly, but everyone present broke into a cold sweat.

There are six days left until January 4th.

They need to find a way out of this hot spring street in these six days, or find ways to prevent this disaster from happening.

The witch had consumed too much energy just now, and now she was leaning on the ground in exhaustion. She said to the 115 girl who finally calmed down: "It's strange to say that I just felt the energy of two ghost babies in your belly. You

Was the hot spring egg you ate last night a double yolk egg?"

Girl 115 was stunned for a moment and shook her head: "No... I think it's just an ordinary egg."

The witch frowned: "Is that so? That would be strange."

She sighed tiredly, but she didn't take this matter too seriously. Maybe the ghost babies were set up as twins.

The girl seemed a little concerned: "Did those two monsters in your belly tell you the date?"

The witch shook her head: "No, there is only the voice of one ghost baby, and the presence of the other one is very weak. There is basically not enough energy to tell me anything."

Qi Ku, who witnessed everything from the sidelines, did not think that this was a small detail that was not worth paying attention to. Sometimes small details are the most important clues to solving the problem. After all, the dungeon needs to develop and operate under a certain logic.

If it's not a double yolk egg, why are there two ghost babies?

Can you believe what the ghost baby says unconditionally? Moreover, there are two ghost babies. How can we ensure that the date given by the ghost baby with stronger energy is correct?

Small errors can be fatal.

Therefore, Qi Jiu did not plan to rely entirely on the clues he got from Gui Ying. He needed to find a way to verify it himself.

After all, seeing is believing and hearing is believing.

After resting for almost ten minutes, the witch finally recovered. She decided to fulfill her promise to the 115 girls. After successfully finding out the date of the accident from the ghost baby, the witch prepared to remove the twin ghost babies from the girl's belly.

"Will it hurt?" The girl was already in pain. Let her experience the pain again. Now she would rather die.

The witch did not deliberately hide it from her: "It will feel a little bit, but it will definitely not hurt like this morning or just now."

The girl looked cold: "Okay, okay, thank you."

Originally, she had always thought that the witch was just using her. Although this was actually the case, the witch at least abandoned her without using it up.

The witch waved her hand towards her, signaling her to maintain her strength and not say anything.

"The rest of the crowd can leave first, especially men. It's not convenient here." The witch didn't say much nonsense and pointed to the lady who was originally watching. "You are the only one here who has fertility experience. If possible, I will trouble you later."

Stay and help me."

The madam was stunned for a moment. She had always felt a little guilty because of Xiao Mi's "randomness". Now that the witch asked her to help, she was naturally very happy. Then she nodded quickly: "Okay, I have no problem."

Xiao Mi next to her immediately showed a worried look: "Mom, what are you messing with? What if you..."

The wife knelt down and said patiently to her daughter: "There are no medical staff now, and I am the only one who can help the little girl here."

Xiao Mi looked unhappy: "But..."

The lady gently hugged her daughter: "Be good, go to the room door and wait for me. It's not convenient for you to be there in this kind of situation. Please be obedient, okay?"

Xiaomi hesitated for a moment, then nodded. She looked at the time door and said, "It's one hour before the late buffet time. Mom, please finish your work and go back to the room as soon as possible. I'll wait for you. I don't want to go to that damn place by myself."

"

The lady smiled gently: "Okay, I promise you."

Xiao Mi pouted in dissatisfaction, but finally gave in. She stretched out her little finger and said, "Pull the hook."

The lady smiled and hooked her little finger: "Hang yourself on a hook and it won't change for a hundred years."

Xiao Mi reluctantly left the lounge. Madam hurriedly followed the witch to make preparations for the ghost fetus. In the rush, she finally took off the black silk gloves she had been wearing.

Qi Jiu noticed that on the ring finger of the wife's left hand, there was a trace of a ring left by wearing it for a long time.

--ring!

Through the electric light and flint between the doors, Qi Jufu reached his soul, and he found a way to prove the identity of his wife and Xiaomi.

Moreover, Xiaomi and his wife are inseparable every day, so there is no time more suitable than now.

It just so happened that at this moment, the girl at the front desk didn't know what she was busy with, and she couldn't be found anywhere. The lady had to turn to Qi Jiu, who had no way to intervene: "Well, Mr. Masseur, can you prepare a basin for us?"

Hot water? You may need it later."

Qi Jiu nodded: "No problem, I'll go right away."

Madam: "Excuse me."

"By the way, madam," Qi Qiu turned his head again as soon as he took a step forward, "I picked up a ring in the corridor last night when I was on night shift. Do you think you left it behind?"

As he spoke, he took out a white diamond wedding ring.
Chapter completed!
