Chapter 70 Blue Ice Hotel (Part 4)
She threw back the quilt and tried to leave the bed, or at least move to the side. However, the bed was too slippery and wet. She couldn't even budge from her current position, let alone move.
As the flesh continued to swell and sink, Xiang Liangyu discovered that a round hole gradually opened up in the flesh pad under her feet. She could see that the hole was full of dense and sharp thorns. The probability of being pierced by a hole if she fell into it was 100%.
Isn't it too absurd? As soon as she opened her eyes, the abyss was right in front of her. Who wouldn't be scared? Seeing Xiang Liangyu about to fall into the deep hole, she turned over quickly and grabbed the slippery pads of her hands with great force. Her nails pierced into the flesh, and with the grip, the speed of her body falling gradually stabilized.
When the claws touched her flesh, Xiang Liangyu crawled out directly. When she rolled to the ground, what she felt was not fear, but anger.
She immediately went to the bedside and called the front desk, saying, "Is this your presidential suite that costs $200,000 a night? The bed is not a bed, and the housekeeper is not a housekeeper. I must file a complaint against you!"
Chu Li's sweet voice came from the front desk: "Ms. Xiang, it's 1:30 a.m. in the hotel now. You said your bed suddenly turned into a lump of meat. This doesn't seem possible no matter how you look at it. Are you here to cause trouble?"
Xiang Liangyu sneered: "Come up here and see if I'm here to cause trouble!"
Chu Li: "Okay Ms. Xiang, please wait a moment."
Chu Li hung up the phone and said to the player who was also on night shift, "I'll go to the 88th floor."
The player was very scared and pitiful: "I'm so scared to be alone."
Chu Li: "Then you go up, I'll guard it."
Thinking back to Xiang Liangyu's unpredictable temper, the player suddenly felt that it was not a big deal for one person to guard the night shift: "Then you should go."
Chu Li smiled and went to wait for the elevator with his employee card.
Hearing the sound of the elevator door closing, the player at the front desk quickly looked up. The empty lobby was still magnificent, but the paintings hanging or carved on the walls, floor, and ceiling now looked weird. Although the colors were bright and rich, they gave people a feeling that they would come alive in the next second.
The receptionist hurriedly lowered her head, calmed her pounding heart, and continued to calculate the night's bill.
Until there was a knock at the front desk: "Check in."
"Okay, please..." The receptionist subconsciously raised her head, and in an instant, her head and body separated.
[Player Li Ta's health has returned to zero, and he has died. ]
[NPC Bone also received 4 heart gems. ]
Xiang Liangyu leaned against the door, looking at the lump of flesh with disgust, thinking what a hell, there was no way this thing could be in her room.
The intense anger made her mind go blank, and after she gradually calmed down, Xiang Liangyu realized that something seemed to be wrong. She remembered that the wall in the second bedroom had complex reliefs, while the wall she was leaning against was pure white with no patterns, so it was obvious that this was not her room.
Xiang Liangyu frowned, turned around and pushed open the door, only to see strong wind and snow. The aurora in the sky faintly illuminated the road under his feet. There were pieces of floating ice, and the sea water in the cracks was flowing rapidly, but it could not change the movement trajectory of the floating ice.
There were endless glaciers ahead, and the highest peak was close to the aurora, which looked extremely beautiful. However, in Xiang Liangyu's eyes, she saw a red dot flashing at the top of the glacier. After flashing three times, the aurora in the sky changed to another color, and flashed three more times, and the color changed again.
Xiang Liangyu narrowed his eyes and suddenly felt something was wrong.
There was a knock on the door, and Xiang Liangyu turned his head subconsciously. The wind became stronger and forced the door shut. The wind and snow were gone, but the knocks continued. Xiang Liangyu looked at the door handle for two seconds, turned it and opened it, and the familiar living room appeared in front of him.
She walked to the front of the living room. The curtains on the floor-to-ceiling windows were not drawn. The endless aurora had evenly changing colors, and there were no red spots on the glacier.
Xiang Liangyu opened the door and looked at Chu Li with a sour face when he had a refreshing smile.
Chu Li bowed and said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Xiang, may I ask which room's bed has become a meat cushion?"
Player personal information has been disclosed:
[Name: Chu Li
Position: Front desk of Blue Ice Hotel
Health: 100%
Available props: (B-level) Sixth sense (a sign of danger, usually panic.)]
Although no one knows why Chu Li was able to be reborn from death in the first game without the immortal gold medal, it is obvious that Chu Li at this moment has lost the arrogance and recklessness he had in the first game, and looks extremely docile.
Maybe she hid her true nature and chose a smart way to deal with the dangerous game world, or maybe it was because of the training. In short, Xiang Liangyu was very uncomfortable, but only for a while.
After leading her into the room, Xiang Liangyu looked at the normal bed and fell into deep thought.
Chu Li's smile remained unchanged: "Where's the meat pad?"
Before Xiang Liangyu could answer, Chu Li's body shook violently. It was not a punishment for a guest who was rude or did not follow the rules, but her own skills told her that a very great danger was approaching.
Xiang Liangyu said irritably: "Damn it..."
Chu Li directly covered her mouth with his hand and pulled her into the empty closet compartment. Chu Li put his index finger in front of his mouth, signaling her not to speak. Xiang Liangyu frowned, wanting to see what she was doing.
But after waiting for a long time, the room remained as it was. Xiang Liangyu turned around and glared at Chu Li. Just as she was about to speak, she covered her mouth. Chu Li motioned for him to look outside.
Xiang Liangyu turned around and looked outside through the crack in the door. Her eyes changed. She was squatting in a bad position and could only see a small part of the bed. In her eyes, the bed returned to its cushioned shape. Suddenly, a slender man stood at the door of the second bedroom. He was wearing a long coat and black gloves, and there was a layer of ice on his cuffs.
The man's deep voice sounded: "Did you eat her?"
There was no emotion , just a calm tone: "Don't act rashly next time."
Chu Li subconsciously held his breath.
"What did you say?" The man chuckled. "She hid? Then... where did she hide?"
The sound of his leather shoes clattering on the floor was heard as he slowly moved to the bedside table. His figure could no longer be seen through the crack in the door.
Xiang Liangyu's eyes moved slowly, and when he looked in front of the cabinet door, the cabinet door was opened in an instant. A figure with a cold air of ice and snow stood in front of the door. The familiar face was a little lazy, but it hid a sharp edge that was easy to ignore. The corners of his mouth were raised with a wild smile, full of ruffian nature.
NPC personal information has been disclosed:
[Name: Gu Ye
Status: Guest of Blue Ice Hotel
Health: ?
Available props: ? 】
Gu Ye's tone was rising, sounding somewhat brisk: "Xiang Liangyu, what are you doing hiding here?"
Apart from having a face that is exactly the same as Izumi Nobuyuki and a body shape that is almost the same as Izumi Nobuyuki, the voice, expression, and personality are all completely different.
In an instant, Xiang Liangyu suddenly recalled that on the rough sea during the rainstorm, she was held by two mermaids on both sides, unable to move.
One is Quan Shengyan, and the other one... seems to be the person in front of him.
Chu Li also recognized it and said, "It's you."
Xiang Liangyu walked out of the closet, straightened her messy hair, leaned against the wall in displeasure, and pointed at the bed: "It's four in the morning, how can we solve this problem?"
Chu Li smiled professionally: "I'm very sorry Ms. Xiang, you can move to the master bedroom to sleep."
Xiang Liangyu thought of the two paintings hanging in the master bedroom and said, "I don't like sleeping in the master bedroom."
Chu Li continued, "We'll open a room for you. Please stay here for one night. We'll clean up the place. Is that okay with you?"
Before Xiang Liangyu could even utter "no", Gu Ye suddenly smiled and said, "How about this, you sleep in the same room with me, so that I can protect you if there is any danger."
After saying that, he glanced at Chu Li vaguely. Chu Li, who was very sensitive to danger, nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes."
Xiang Liangyu glanced at him with emotionless eyes and said, "I don't know you."
The final solution was that all the hotel employees who were sleeping soundly were woken up by the manager with sad eyes. The bed was dismantled and reassembled until dawn, and the bed that had become a meat cushion was finally replaced. The complaint manager laughed uglier than crying: "Ms. Xiang, I'm sorry to disturb your rest."
Xiang Liangyu, who had spent the night on the sofa, took off his eye mask and waved his hand lazily: "Next time you make this mistake, I will definitely complain to you."
The complaint manager ran away crying.
Xiang Liangyu covered herself with an eye mask and tried to continue sleeping. She found that the sofa was quite soft and more comfortable than the bed. Just as she was contentedly preparing to catch up on her sleep, she was frightened by the knock on the door, which sounded like it was being torn apart.
She got up from the sofa, rushed to the door angrily, and cursed as soon as she opened the door: "Why are you knocking on the door so early in the morning?! I want to sleep!!"
Gu Ye was holding the delicious breakfast and smiling with his eyes narrowed: "The hotel's signature breakfast, fish..."
Xiang Liangyu was so angry that she closed the door: "You're crazy!"
She didn't sleep on the sofa, but went straight into the room, locked the door, and went to sleep on the bed.
Xiang Liangyu was awakened by the smell. The aroma of a regular English breakfast is the most appetite-stimulating. Xiang Liangyu rolled around in bed for a long time and couldn't stand it anymore, so he opened the door and rushed to the dining room. The person at the table turned around when he heard the sound. His expression was calm and gentle as he bit the bread. In a trance, he thought it was smoke from the spring.
Gu also smiled: "Come and have breakfast."
Xiang Liangyu immediately separated him from the filter of Quan Shengyan and said warily: "I don't know you well, don't enter my room casually again."
Gu did not respond to this warning, but waved to Xiang Liangyu: "Come, eat."
Next to him was a plate with very little food on it. Xiang Liangyu was not hungry, but he could not stand the smell of delicious food. He would want to eat it as soon as he smelled it, and he would feel full as soon as he ate it, and he would feel very uncomfortable as soon as he was full.
The bones were still tempting him. Xiang Liangyu swallowed and thought that the portion was so small that it should be fine to eat it.
She struggled for a long time, even washing and dressing, but finally sat at the table very naturally and ate happily. Gu also took a sip of coffee and smiled at Xiang Liangyu.
This is what Quan Shengyan saw when he came in. The small breakfast in his hand looked like a joke.
When Xiang Liangyu saw Quan Shengyan smoking, he immediately dropped the half-eaten toast and asked, "Where did you go last night?"
After Gu Ye came, she thought Quan Shengyan was in the master bedroom, but the two paintings said that he had left long ago. This made Xiang Liangyu wonder if Quan Shengyan had a split personality. Otherwise, how could there be such similar but completely opposite people in the world? But from the current point of view, this idea is self-defeating.
Gu also took a sip of the coffee, ignoring Quan Shengyan's murderous look and said, "Xiang Liangyu, do you want to go out and play? I can take you to see the glacier."
Quan Shengyan sneered, put down the plate, and walked out with Xiang Liangyu.
Gu Ye casually put down his coffee cup, raised the corner of his mouth as he watched the two people leaving, and stood up and followed them.
I don't know why things turned out like this. Xiang Liangyu was wearing thick winter clothes and a furry red hat, with Quan Shengyan and Gu Ye standing on her left and right. She was shivering in the ice and snow, and the players of the Salted Fish Team were also freezing with her.
They claimed that they were key residents and in order to protect her safety, they had to follow her closely when she went out. Most of them came along.
The floating iceberg is as famous as it is, with floating ice bodies everywhere and endless glaciers as far as the eye can see. Even the hotel is located on a huge piece of ice. Some guests who like water can't help themselves when they see water and ice, and they take off their clothes and dive into the icy water for a winter swim.
Xiang Liangyu's legs were frozen, and seeing them swimming in the water only made her feel even colder. Another scarf was wrapped around her neck. Xiang Liangyu looked up, and Quan Shengyan took off his scarf and wrapped it around her neck. He covered his ears with his frozen white hands, trying to convey warmth: "If it's too cold, we'll go back first."
"Yes, yes, you must not show off."
"Yes, yes, you must not get into any trouble."
"I know you want to kill us, but can you please not do this here? It's really cold."
Xiang Liangyu didn't want to stay either. The reason why she stayed here and was tortured was entirely because of the oppression of the system. She put on her winter clothes just to play in the snow for a while, and then pack up and go back to the hotel. Who knew what the system would do and gave her a travel mission.
[NPC Xiang Liangyu has activated the game mission. Please play on the floating ice island for an hour and feel the ice and cold of the polar island. ]
【You have played for 30 minutes and 45 seconds. 】
Xiang Liangyu felt that she couldn't stand any longer, or she would turn into an ice sculpture. She stamped her feet and ran, trying to keep herself warm. Gu also took advantage of the opportunity and came up to put his hand on Xiang Liangyu's shoulder and said, "Xiang Liangyu, while it's still light, I'll take you to see the beautiful scenery of the glacier."
After saying this, he didn't care whether Xiang Liangyu agreed or not, he took her tightly wrapped hand and ran forward.
Quan Shengyan clenched his fists and chased after him with a stern face.
"Oh my god, what does this mean, they won't kill us anymore?"
"I can't imagine this kind of love triangle existing in this disgusting world."
"Let's have some more bloody love triangles. This instance is known to favor players. As long as one person is alive at the end, we win."
The players hesitated, not knowing whether to go or not. Jiang Cangshu glanced at everyone and chased after them alone, with Chu Li following closely behind.
At the edge of the ice body is the azure blue sea and floating icebergs around it. On these floating icebergs, there is a walkable path that leads directly to the huge glacier ahead.
Xiang Liangyu glanced at Gu Ye next to him. The excitement in his eyes was extremely obvious. Following his gaze, Xiang Liangyu realized that over there was actually a mountain, which should be called ice water.
In a trance, the iceberg in front of me seemed to have the same outline as the glacier I saw last night. The tall peaks had a slight arc, and the undulating sides extended to the distant mountain tops.
Thinking back to the flashing red dot last night, Xiang Liangyu couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
Just these two glances were seen by Gu, and he had evil intentions in his heart. He took Xiang Liangyu's hand, which was wrapped in three layers of layers, and said, "Let's go and take a look."
Xiang Liangyu looked at Gu Ye's back with a more inquiring look in her eyes. He didn't seem to be very familiar with her, but rather seemed to have known her for a long time.
The other hand was grabbed, and Xiang Liangyu was pulled back. This pull made her sleeves move up, revealing the gold watch. Xiang Liangyu looked at the slowly moving dial, and quickly pulled back the hand that was being held by the two people, and observed it carefully.
The second hand is moving slowly, moving one grid every twenty seconds on average. Although it is slow, it is indeed moving.
Xiang Liangyu was a little stunned. How long had she not seen this watch moving? Usually, the time would suddenly change from one place to another, or the three hands would spin like crazy. Now, the second hand suddenly moved, and the minute and hour hands moved together.
It was as if her time had come back and now it was just messed up.
"Your time is too slow," Gu Ye came close to her, his fair and handsome face and the glacier behind him formed a beautiful picture. He looked up at Xiang Liangyu and said with a face exactly the same as Quan Shengyan: "But I can correct the time. Do you need my help?"
"She doesn't need it." Before Xiang Liangyu could speak, Quan Shengyan stood between the two of them, with a stern aura and staring at Gu Ye with his dark and cold eyes.
If it were anyone else, they would have been defeated by his dark pupils, but Gu was not afraid at all. There was a teasing look in his eyes and the rebelliousness revealed between his brows made him extremely arrogant.
Gu Ye laughed and said, "You are not her, how do you know she doesn't need it?"
Xiang Liangyu thought he was really noisy. After taking a look at the play time, she found that it had already reached the target. Finally, she took a look at the iceberg and said coldly, "I don't need it."
After saying that, she turned around and went back to the hotel. The players wrapped up in balls followed her happily, fearing that she would slip and fall.
Quan Shengyan turned around and followed, while Gu Ye behind him said slowly: "She may need my help. After all, compared to a remodeler, I, a restorer, seem to be of greater help to her."
Quan Shengyan ignored him and the hotel door closed heavily. At this moment, only Gu Ye was in the huge ice body.
Gu also took a look at the iceberg in front of him, pulled down the hat on his head, and then stepped on the floating ice and walked towards the iceberg.
Inside the hotel, a small number of guests who had finished their tours gathered in the lobby bar. The guests with sheep faces and horse faces ate the grass prepared on the table. The horse-faced guest said, "I have found the feeling of running freely again, although this place is not as good as the grassland."
Sheep Face said, "I heard there is a naturally formed ice grass forest on the floating iceberg. Do you want to go and eat some?"
Xiang Liangyu entered the hotel feeling cold, and rushed directly to the lobby bar where the heating was the best. He curled up on the single sofa and let out a long sigh.
Alive.
The other part, which looked like an eagle, saw Xiang Liangyu and his eyes lit up. He came over and said, "Hey, human, do you want to join us in a group to search for treasure on the floating iceberg?"
Xiang Liangyu took the warm tea brought by the receptionist, took a sip to warm himself up, raised his eyelids upon hearing this, and said calmly, "What treasure is there?"
Eagle Face said, "It is said that if you make a sincere wish at the foot of the mountain and then go to the ice cave at the top of the mountain, what you want will appear."
Xiang Liangyu: "So magical? When are we going?"
Hawk-faced's eyes flashed with a sharp light, extremely greedy: "At night."
Xiang Liangyu's eyebrows moved, but she said, "It seems dangerous to go out at night."
Eagle Face came closer and said mysteriously, "The hotel is lying to us. They want us to stay in the hotel forever. All we have to do is return to the hotel at the specified time."
Xiang Liangyu: "What do you mean?"
Eagle Face was surprised and said, "It seems that you don't know yet. This hotel is very weird. Let me ask you, have you ever had your bed turn into a bed of needles while you were sleeping, have you ever had water turn into sulfuric acid while you were drinking, or have you ever eaten something that exploded while you were eating?"
The bed did turn into a disgusting meat bed, but the one behind it... Xiang Liangyu twitched his mouth: "This is too weird, why do you want us to stay in the hotel?"
Hawk Face: "Is that even a question? Become those people."
It raised its beak, and Xiang Liangyu looked over and saw the waiter sweeping the floor, the front desk clerk handling business, and the Golden Key patrolling everywhere.
Noisy lobby, strange guests, and staff in uniform.
A thought came to my mind: "Were the employees here once residents?"
