"What are you doing!" Liu Yu reacted quickly. When Xia Yanzhen took action, he shouted and quickly retreated out of the door.
His movements were so smooth that he couldn't even hear the sound of footsteps. His running skills were top-notch.
Block? Does not exist.
Didn't wait for anyone else to react.
The dead Richard opened his eyes suddenly, covered his neck and sat up.
"You..." He glared at Xia Yanzhen, the expression on his face fixed on anger, unwillingness, regret and fear.
On the neck, a black curse spread from the wound that looked completely non-fatal.
It quickly covered Richard's body.
He continued to cover his neck with his hands and fell down, completely dead.
A little bit of blood remained from his neck and dripped to the ground.
It soon stopped on its own.
In front of Richard, a dream stone appeared.
Xia Yanzhen picked it up and looked at the information. It was the Dream Stone (small).
The reward for resisting the killing scene did not follow his transformation into the second-level Dream Apostle and the Dream Stone (middle).
This reward is very average.
However, "explosive equipment" still has a certain appeal.
Richard, on the other hand, was just as "poor" as Jin. He didn't have any equipment or props on him, and the mark space was completely empty.
Only a 305 room card appeared.
This thing only appeared normally due to the death of Richard, and was not an equipment item that was released.
"I'm so poor," Xia Yanzhen said.
"You..." Liu Yu looked at Xia Yanzhen, "How did you know that he was not dead?"
She indeed did not see that Richard faked his death and did not deliberately set up Eleven and wanted to do something.
"I don't know." Xia Yanzhen said.
What he saw, heard, and felt was that Richard was dead.
There were no clues that Richard had faked his death.
"Then you still..." Liu Yu didn't finish his words.
He was interrupted by Xia Yanzhen: "What's the problem? If he is dead, I will just cut the body with a knife. If he is not dead, I will give him a ride."
Xia Yanzhen stood up, turned around and looked at everyone at the door of the room: "I think we have never been companions who need to care about each other's lives, right?"
Liu Yu and others did not speak.
Of course they didn't care about Richard's life.
Rather than caring about Richard's life or death, I care more about the meaning behind his death.
Was Richard's death caused by the hotel or the eleven people he killed?
This is what everyone cares about.
In the former case, investigating the truth will help everyone understand the hotel and improve the survival rate - at least it is certain that the safety of the room is not 100%.
The latter is to find a "dangerous element".
If possible, everyone should join forces to kill the most powerful and most threatening Eleven.
And now, Richard is faking his death.
Then, he really died in the hands of Eleven.
Eleven's actions and straightforward words revealed the true relationship between everyone in this mission.
They are not companions.
In the confrontation and killing scene, there is no fighting with each other, it is just "unconfidence" in one's own strength.
While not confident that he can kill others and make a profit, he completes the task by himself.
Harmony on the surface, intrigues, and mutual harm are the main theme of this mission.
help each other?
Even in cooperative scenes, it is difficult to ensure unity and mutual assistance, let alone confrontation and killing scenes.
In a hotel, treating people indifferently and sweeping away the snow in front of everyone is showing "goodwill" and "harmless".
Xia Yan really doesn't have any deceptive interests or ideas.
But he killed two people in a row, and coupled with those words, it undoubtedly became a "red alert" in the eyes of others.
The atmosphere on the field became more and more solemn.
"I think what Eleven said is right." Hemei suddenly expressed support for Xia Yanzhen, "This person deliberately faked his death, and he must have unscrupulous intentions. It would be no problem for Eleven to kill him, but it would eliminate the unrest factor."
"That makes sense." Wang Defa nodded.
"Ha." Mrs. Jones always had a venomous tongue, "No one would be hypocritical and want to avenge someone they only knew for half a night, right? Oh~ Actually, I support someone doing this."
"I'm just surprised that Eleven suddenly took action." Liu Yu said.
Qin Feng shrugged his shoulders and Xiao Xiong spread his hands.
"Okay, I don't want to get involved in your intrigues. It's too much trouble." Xia Yanzhen said, "Don't mess with me."
He walked out of the room and walked towards the elevator.
"Should we join forces to kill him?" Mrs. Jones asked with ill intentions.
"If we join forces, I'll kill you too." Liu Yu glanced at Mrs. Jones.
Don’t you realize that you are in the minority now?
Over there Kazumi had already trotted away.
"Do you want to give it a try?" Mrs. Jones showed no sign of weakness and looked at Liu Yu.
"Forget it, I don't want to end up dying in the mission for a little Dream Stone." Liu Yu said, "Eleven is right, don't mess with me, everyone should be well."
She turned and returned to the room.
Qin Feng and Wang Defa left one after another.
"Haha." Mrs. Jones smiled softly and returned to the room.
With the death of Richard, this already fragile alliance completely fell apart.
Taking the elevator to the lobby on the first floor, Xia Yanzhen saw that Douglas was no longer there, and there was a stranger sitting behind the service desk.
He walked over and asked, "Where was the front desk last night?"
The service staff raised his head and gave Xia Yanzhen a standard smile: "Hello, how can I help you?"
"Where is the guy who checked me in last night?"
"Are you talking about No. 8? He and I have switched shifts. I am No. 9. Do you need any help?" Compared to the real No. 8 who looks more humane, this No. 9 has a somewhat mechanical feel.
Already.
Waiters like "Teacher Luo, don't be like this".
"Yes, it's No. 8. Where did he go?"
"It's probably time to go back to the staff dormitory to rest." No. 9 said.
"Where are the staff dormitories?"
"Hello, only hotel staff can enter the staff dormitory. Guests are not allowed in." No. 9 said with a smile, "By the way, guest, do you have your room card with you?"
Xia Yanzhen took out the room card but did not hand it over.
"Well, the hotel regulations stipulate that guests can only stay in the same room for one night, so I need to change a room for you." No. 9 explained the reason.
"Is there such a rule?" Xia Yanzhen picked up the check-in rules on the reception desk, "I didn't see it on it."
"This is only part of it. Please wait a moment while I look at where the other house rules are." No. 9 started rummaging around.
"Let's book a room first." Xia Yanzhen said, putting down the room card.
"Okay." No. 9 took the room card and stuffed it back into the "ATM" slot at the service desk.
The key card was swallowed by the socket.
No. 9 operated on the computer twice and took out another room card and gave it to Xia Yanzhen: "Hello, this is your room card."
Xia Yanzhen took it and saw the number 403 on it.
"Why not 310?"
"Hello, it's like this. According to hotel regulations, guests cannot stay on the same floor consecutively. They need to wait six days before they can stay again." No. 9.
"Six days?" Xia Yan really calculated.
The seven days of the mission are seven days and seven nights, and there will be no discounts - there may be discounts at night, based on the time of the grandfather clock.
It is also possible that it will be done according to the normal time.
If it's the former, according to the hotel's regulations, you can only stay in a room for one night, and then it will take six days for the same floor to "cool down."
Take Xia Yanzhen himself as an example.
I stayed in 301 on the first night, 403 on the second night, on the fifth floor on the third night, on the eighth floor on the fourth night, and on the ninth floor on the fifth night - because the sixth and seventh floors are not guest room floors.
By the sixth night, Xia Yan really had no place to stay.
On the last night, he could live back on the third floor.
In seven days of survival, there must be one night when there are no guest rooms available.
Also, from what I saw last night, there weren’t that many empty rooms in the hotel rooms.
The third floor is okay, but the number of empty rooms decreases as you go up.
In other words, even if it is not the sixth day, some people will face the problem of being unable to check in.
What will happen if there are no rooms available after twelve o'clock in the evening?
I want to try my best to stay in the room without violating the hotel rules.
Reducing the number of guests became the only option.
All I can say is that it makes sense to fight the killing scenes.
Before discovering this "rule", Xia Yanzhen reduced the nine Dream Apostles to seven.
It was a hit by mistake.
"Help me get a room for the next few days," Xia Yanzhen said after putting away the room card.
No. 9 smiled and refused: "That's right. According to regulations, only one room can be opened per day. You can renew and open a room after seven o'clock tomorrow morning."
"It's a rule again, what about other house rules?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
"Please wait a moment." No. 9 searched among the files and books at the service desk, but couldn't find it.
He left the lobby and walked toward the back.
Xia Yanzhen followed and came to the staff area at the back. No. 9 stopped and said to Xia Yanzhen, "I'm sorry, sir, this is the staff area. Please wait a moment."
"Okay." Xia Yanzhen nodded.
But there was no intention of stopping, and he followed No. 9 and took a few steps forward.
"This guest..." No. 9 turned around and looked at Xia Yanzhen, "Please do not enter the employee area."
"What will happen if you enter?"
"It would be against hotel regulations." No. 9 smiled.
The smile on his face began to become fake and stiff.
"What will happen if you violate the rules?" Xia Yanzhen stepped forward and stared at No. 9.
No. 9 wore a stiff smile: "If you violate the hotel's rules, you will no longer be a guest."
"What will happen if you are not a guest? For example?"
"For example, I'm actually very hungry." No. 9 approached Xia Yanzhen's ear and whispered softly.
His mouth opened, and the originally flat teeth turned into sharp jagged teeth at some point.
Without taking this bite, No. 9 continued: "I'm going to pack you into the dining area."
Service Personnel Handbook, Article 10——
If you feel hungry, it is important to remember that guests and other hotel employees are not food. Food is only available in the staff cafeteria and is not allowed to be eaten anywhere else!!
Number Nine is still following the rules of the manual.
But Xia Yanzhen doesn’t need it!
As No. 9 finished speaking, a hand was already on his face.
Xia Yanzhen grabbed No. 9's head and pointed it toward the wall next to him.
A hole was created in the wall, and No. 9's head sank completely into it.
"Let me see what the consequences will be if you violate the rules!" Xia Yanzhen started to exert force while grabbing No. 9's head.
