Chapter 5 Pre-dinner talk
"The eyes are long and the mouth is long,
"Little Rosie, who bought bread, didn't speak...
"Mr. Carlody drags the cloth bag,
"Throw the body to the rich man's house~"
That was the first song that Dasi hummed on the rocking chair, including the names of these two residents.
Does this mean anything special?
Yu Xing looked for an opportunity to look at the two of them for a while, but he didn't find any special suspicion at the moment, because Rosie talked a lot, Mr. Carlody didn't drag the cloth bag, and there was no rich man in the hotel.
The 10 residents in the rooms, including Dess and himself, came down a total of 8.
The weird old lady who lived in Room 09 did not come down. She looked at other people's faces and seemed not surprised.
The chef in Room 03 is probably still busy in the kitchen.
Miss Mino in room 04 is a woman in her 20s with conspicuous white hair. She is serious and naturally downward. Her lips look very difficult to get close to.
She came up and didn't say hello to anyone, and walked straight to the dining table. The others gave up looking at Yu Xing and sat towards the dining table one after another.
The dining table is located one more than the number of rooms, with a rectangular dining table with 5 chairs on both sides, and an additional head seat on a wide table.
There is no doubt that the first one belongs to the hotel owner Daisy.
The chair was not marked with serial numbers, but Yu Xing observed and found that the others sat according to the room number, except for seat 01, where Xixi sat.
The chef's position is empty.
Of course, Yu Xing sat at the end, and the seat of grandma who belonged to Room 09 opposite him was also empty. What's more coincidental is that the fugitive No. 08, who should be sitting next to him, was just dragged by Daisy to the kitchen, so the location was also empty.
He seemed to be alone on the entire table, unique.
Others' eyes floated to him frequently, after all, he was the resident who just arrived today.
"The food hasn't come yet, so I want to meet new friends at this time." Carlody, who looked a little serious, smiled friendly at Yu Xing, "What do you call him?"
He did not introduce himself, as if he had agreed that Yu Xing had heard his name and asked Yu Xing directly.
"Yori." Yu Xing made a fool of himself. He no longer wanted to use the name Roy. Whether it was a foreign style deduction or the name Roy he used in the Underground City, he was a little tired of using it.
"Dear, in fact, there is no need to use your real name. Look, the reason why we call this guy a mummy is because he himself said he was a mummy." Daisy crossed her hands and placed her under her chin, looking at Yu Xing leisurely, "If you are too honest, you will be bullied here."
Yu Xing indeed showed a little bit of fear.
Miss Mino smiled and said, "Come on, Joe Ri may not be the real name of this person. Like me, everyone knows that Mino is not my name."
"What's the use of tangling names?" the mummy wrapped in a bandage spoke.
His voice was not beyond Yu Xing's expectations, and it felt hoarse and thorny, as if a rusty iron piece was rubbing against each other.
"The mummy is right. Knowing the real name or pseudonym won't let us do anything. Everyone knows that in this hotel, the only one who can determine our destiny is the beautiful Daisy and the dangerous night--" Mask face smiled happily in his position, and while answering the conversation, he also praised Daisy.
Daisy obviously knew that this was unnecessary flattery, but she still accepted it happily.
"Yes, this is exactly the next thing I want to say, I have to remind you one thing, a young and innocent new sweetheart," she was the farthest person from Yu Xing on the whole table, but her voice still reached everyone's ears very clearly.
"In this hotel, since you choose to stay, you just give your destiny to me. Do you understand?"
"What you have to do is please me and survive as much as possible - the longer the better, don't you? Everyone wants to live longer."
Yu Xing looked at her with a little aggrieved look: "I know."
"You don't know, you don't know anything." The masked face laughed, "Don't realize it yet? New, the danger of the night - that's the point, you've just heard the curse, and next you'll hear something that makes you desperate."
"For example, what?" Yu Xing tilted his head.
"When the lights are turned off in the hotel, you have to stay in your room, and don't go out no matter what you hear outside." The smile on the corner of Daisy's mouth slightly restrained when talking about this, as if she was much more serious. "You know, curse, a hotel with curses will not be that simple, for example... my hotel will be wandering with terrible things."
Yu Xing was calm on the surface and even seemed a little confused, but in private he was excited.
Interesting things are coming.
This is the direction of the dungeon. If it is just a hotel owner who can kill people, and there is no other plot - perhaps it would be a sideline to understand other residents? In short, if it is just like this, then the dungeon in the hotel building would be too boring.
Boring is absolutely not enough to bear the energy of this inn standing on the ruins of Dead Silent Island.
There should be some other special manifestations, both as a challenge to death and as a place for life, so that the entire process can be completed without systematically issuing tasks and prompts.
"If I leave the room and enter the corridor after turning off the lights, will I die?" Yu Xing asked the other seven people next to the dining table.
"Yes, big brother, I think he will die without a doubt." Little Rosie shook her slender calves. "There were several big brothers who didn't believe it. I heard the sound of them opening the door in the middle of the night. I didn't see them again the second day, but there was a lot of blood in the corridor. Well... it smelled very bad. Sister Xixi cleaned it up for a long time."
The mentioned Sici was silent, as if it was accustomed to say.
"Anyway, no one dares to let themselves fall into darkness. Mr. Yori, you are the most eye-catching one among the new residents recently. I hope you can not have so much curiosity. We may be familiar with each other with more life. Do you think so?" Mino played with her hair boredly. The snow-white hair suddenly reminded Yu Xing of the girl in the school building with a very low presence but she could post tasks.
"Just stay in the room," said Dess, "no matter who it is, you can go to my room for a whole night until the sun rises."
Yu Xing smiled weakly.
