Chapter 76 Blue Ice Hotel (Ten)
The hotel staff seemed a little strange. They did not come forward to greet them and ask about their well-being as usual. Instead, they stood at the door, looking at each other with terrified expressions on their faces, not daring to look at the four people.
The manager walked up to Xiang Liangyu carefully and said, "Are you Xiang Liangyu...Ms. Xiang?"
Xiang Liangyu tilted his head, put his hands on his waist, frowned and said: "What else, you are Xiang Liangyu?"
The manager screamed, and the employees behind him scattered. Xiang Liangyu grabbed the manager's neck, brought him in front of her, and said impatiently, "I'm very sleepy now. You'd better explain to me why you reacted like this."
The manager had a look on his face as if he had seen a ghost, and he shouted at the employees who had not yet entered the hotel: "Bring Li Lala! Jiang Mingxian! Bring her here!"
The door slammed shut. After a while, the door opened and a man and a woman were pushed out. The woman shrank all over and the man had a blank expression on his face.
The manager noticed that the hand on his neck was getting tighter and tighter, and said quickly: "This is the person you want to complain about..."
Xiang Liangyu: "Why did you push them out? I was asking you what was going on, why do you look like you've seen a ghost?"
The manager thought to himself that he had seen a ghost. He swallowed and said, "You, you died because of the elevator malfunction."
Xiang Liangyu: “?”
She grabbed the manager and changed his position, pointed at Quan Shengyan and Gu Ye and said, "Where are they?"
The manager almost fainted: "This person was drowned in the hot spring. The manager, the manager has been fired."
Xiang Liangyu asked: "Who fired him? Who is the store manager now?"
“I was fired by the investor.” The manager pointed at himself tremblingly: “I, I.”
Xiang Liangyu: “…”
How confident was he that he could have killed the four of them that he stated the cause of death so clearly?
"What about me ? What about me?" Chu Li pointed at himself, looking curious.
The manager gritted his teeth and said, "You were..."
He stopped talking halfway through his words, but Chu Li still understood what he said. It was probably already made into a delicacy.
Xiang Liangyu let go of the manager, pushed the door and walked into the hotel. As soon as he entered, he heard an emotional announcement:
"A devastating news has come. The hotel's exclusive elevator anti-fall device was damaged by human hands, causing a guest in the elevator to fall to his death. The hotel is deeply saddened and has decided to choose a precious place in the next stop, the Black and White Forest, to bury the deceased."
"The next stop, Black and White Forest, will arrive at 7am every morning. Please all guests and staff register at the front desk at 7:30am tomorrow. We will send the deceased on his last journey."
Xiang Liangyu: “…”
The tone was so sad that some residents who didn't know what was going on, some squatted in the corner and cried softly, some hugged each other and cried loudly, and some...
"My dear sister Xiang, you died so tragically!"
"Oh my sister, how could you bear to leave me alone?"
Xiang Liangyu walked coldly to the dog-faced man howling the loudest and asked, "Are you familiar with her?"
"Not familiar. I saw my master died and many people came to cry. Maybe this is a sign of respect. You should cry too."
“Aaaaaaah!”
Dog Face was still wiping tears. He looked up after hearing screams all around him. He happened to meet the expressionless Xiang Liangyu's eyes. Dog Face blinked and said, "I remember, I remember. In the human world, this seems to be called..."
"Pretending to be dead?"
Dog Face: "Yes, yes, it's a fake corpse...Ahhhhhhhh! It's a fake corpse!"
Xiang Liangyu punched Gou Lian and went upstairs in the elevator with a wooden face.
"Oh my god, you dare to take the elevator? This doesn't leave any psychological trauma."
The manager trembled at the door and shouted: "You, are you going to file a complaint or not?"
Chu Li quickly replied: "Of course not, you have no sense at all, how can you believe what a ghost says?"
The manager's face turned pale when he saw her. After hearing her words, he turned his head with a stiff neck. Unexpectedly, he saw Gu smiling at him. The manager fainted.
Xiang Liangyu pressed the 88th floor button, folded her arms and waited patiently for the elevator. Suddenly, as if she thought of something, she turned her head to look at the camera with a red light in the corner, and remembered the announcement when she entered the hotel.
To check the monitoring room, we need the fingerprint of the hotel manager. Quan Shengyan has been dismissed, and the manager has been promoted to manager, so his help is needed.
At this moment, the elevator had reached the 48th floor, and Xiang Liangyu pressed the button for the 51st floor.
Xiang Liangyu walked out of the elevator, and a corridor with green light appeared. The extremely valuable Persian carpets stretched as far as the eye could see. After taking a look at the maze-like guest rooms, Xiang Liangyu turned and walked to another elevator, pressed the down button, and then waited for the elevator to arrive.
The light that seeped out disappeared as the original elevator closed. The hotel corridor used voice-controlled lights and was now dark. The carpet was soundproof, and Xiang Liangyu was too lazy to open his mouth to make a sound. Only the light trough at the bottom was embedded with a green light that never went out.
Xiang Liangyu waited patiently for the elevator and didn't notice the door behind him opened silently.
The doors facing each other in the corridor are opened at the same time, and the sound of pressing the door handle activates the voice-controlled lights.
The dark corridor suddenly became bright. Xiang Liangyu looked sideways and saw doors opened at random in the long corridor, but he didn't see anyone coming out.
The number of guests entering the hotel with her was no more than three hundred at most, but there were more than three hundred rooms in the hotel.
She doesn’t think hotels only make money.
Xiang Liangyu withdrew his gaze and counted to three in his heart.
3, 2...
1.
Xiang Liangyu turned around and ran. With the elevator as the center, there were three corridors on the left, right and front. Xiang Liangyu took the right side.
At the moment she ran, the elevator dinged and arrived at the floor. The door opened and a woman in a baseball cap walked out. She had a green gun on her shoulder and a half-smoked cigarette in her mouth.
She stood still for a second, then took out the gun from her shoulder, turned around quickly, aimed at Xiang Liangyu who was running in the corridor, and pulled the trigger.
"Bang--"
Xiang Liangyu fell to the ground.
Song Lan hung up the gun, threw the finished cigarette into the air, pulled the brim of his hat and walked towards Xiang Liangyu.
The cigarette butt did not fall to the ground. Instead, a black hole appeared in mid-air and swallowed the cigarette butt.
Song Lan waved her hand and said impatiently, "Get out of the way. I told you to eat less. You are as fat as a pig."
But there was clearly nothing around her.
Song Lan walked up to Xiang Liangyu, circled around her, and then kicked her thigh with her toes. She suddenly felt cheated and said, "Neither avalanches nor volcanoes can kill you, but a bullet can? This thing is really useful."
As she said this, she picked up Xiang Liangyu with one hand and walked back humming a tune in a good mood. Before she had taken two steps, Song Lan stopped and said, "What? You are pretending."
Xiang Liangyu suddenly opened his eyes, clenched his fist and punched Song Lan on the back.
However, there was no entity touched, and her hand went straight through Song Lan's body. Xiang Liangyu turned around and broke free from her restraints.
Personal information of the characters has been disclosed:
【Name: Isatis indigo
Role: Non-game area cleaner
Health value: ? 】
Xiang Liangyu rolled his shoulders, put his fingers to the wound, pulled out the bullet, and said, "What's an attack from behind?"
Song Lan lifted the brim of his hat, and his pair of deep brown eyes met Xiang Liangyu's gaze: "Sorry, I forgot your identity. The undead are indeed difficult to kill, but it is not impossible."
Xiang Liangyu casually threw the bullet aside and said, "Let me die knowingly. Why are you trying to kill me?"
Isatis: "Are you playing dumb? Don't you know that you are forbidden to leave the game area?"
Xiang Liangyu looked innocent and said, "Sister, no one told me. If I really can't help it, can you tell me why people are not allowed to enter the non-game area? It's really uncomfortable to die in such an unclear way."
Song Lan thought it made sense, so she walked up to Xiang Liangyu, grabbed her shoulders, and said, "Okay, I'll tell you, there was an NPC who left the game in a non-game area."
Xiang Liangyu: "Who is it?"
Song Lan felt puzzled: "You are pushing it too far."
The hand on his shoulder tightened in an instant, and a black hole appeared next to him. Song Lan pulled Xiang Liangyu into the hole.
"Wool! What are you doing!?"
Xiang Liangyu felt a pain in his stomach. He looked down and saw a knife pressed against his stomach, blood flowing out.
Quan Shengyan came behind Song Lan in an instant, and frowned when he saw this scene. Gu Ye's voice came from behind: "I'm sorry Xiang Liangyu! I forgot that her body would be untargetable when attacked."
Song Lan didn't care. He grabbed Quan Shengyan's shoulder with his other hand and dragged the two of them into the black hole.
Gu also hurriedly chased after him, and when his fingertips touched the black hole, the entrance closed and he crashed into the wall.
Gu Ye rubbed his nose and walked away from the wall, saying, "I've never seen anyone rush to deliver something."
The manager hesitated at the elevator entrance. When he saw Gu, he immediately bowed his head and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Gu Ye: "Bring those three players to my room and tell them that Xiang Liangyu is looking for them."
The manager nodded with a pale face, walked into the elevator and came out within three seconds: "Then, then that elevator..."
Gu Ye: "If we don't repair it and leave it there, how many people can get on that elevator after so long?"
The manager was so scared that he hunched over and retreated into the elevator.
Gu also yawned and walked up the stairs back to his room.
[Player Chu Li's health has returned to zero, and he has died. ]
[Player Jiang Mingxian's health has returned to zero, and he has died. ]
[Player Li Lala's health has returned to zero, and she has died. ]
[NPC Bone also obtained 8 heart gems. ]
As Xiang Liangyu entered the black hole, her consciousness became blurred. She only realized that she was roughly stuffed into a long box, and then everything was dark before her eyes.
When she woke up, she found herself still confined in a small box and could faintly hear a lot of crying.
"Although I have only met Xiang Liangyu once, I feel like I must have met her a long time ago. The feeling of familiarity is no less than my master's sudden resurrection from the dead."
"So she really faked her death yesterday?"
"Rest in peace, Xiang Liangyu."
Xiang Liangyu realized that she was in a coffin. She tried to reach out and hold the coffin door, but even though it was nailed tightly, Xiang Liangyu only needed to use a little force to open it.
"What did you say? Xiang Liangyu is your girlfriend?"
As soon as she exerted force, she heard Gu Ye's voice:
"I really love her. She's so outstanding that I really can't accept her being pursued by someone else. If the former manager hadn't insisted on pestering her, she wouldn't have returned to the hotel early, and she wouldn't have... wuwuwuwu... I shouldn't have insisted on dragging her down to the hot spring that day. In this way, she wouldn't have died."
In the middle of the conversation, Gu Ye actually started crying, his voice choked with sobs, and he sounded full of regret.
Xiang Liangyu: “……?”
Quan Shengyan's voice rang out in the small coffin: "I'm not pestering you."
Xiang Liangyu then realized that the microphone on the brooch had been turned on since it was shot, and she found it funny: "I don't think you are pestering me."
Quan Shengyan chuckled: "The coffin is nailed shut, I can't open it, maybe I need you to save me again."
Xiang Liangyu raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Wait for me."
In this endless black and white forest, the top is white and the bottom is black. The dense branches and leaves block the sunlight, causing serious stratification between the trunks and leaves.
The trees here grow extremely tall, basically over a hundred meters, so that the trunk area is dark all year round. Viruses and some strange plants are most likely to breed in the darkness.
When the hotel arrived at the Black and White Forest, they asked all the guests and employees to leave the hotel and carried two coffins, under the pretext of burying Xiang Liangyu and Quan Shengyan.
It was obvious that the two of them had broken into the hotel full of energy the day before, scaring most people half to death, but today they were put into coffins and buried. The explanation given by the hotel was that it was a "last burst of life."
The newly appointed store manager, dressed in formal attire, chose a location that he thought was a good feng shui location. A group of people carried shovels and dug the soil with great effort. As soon as they buried one, a group of guests could not stand any longer and started chatting in low voices.
After learning about the incident between Gu Ye and Xiang Liangyu, all the guests became curious and listened attentively with their ears pricked up.
Gu Ye lowered his head and wiped away his non-existent tears with his thumb: "How I wish that it was me lying in there now. I would rather be crushed than let Xiaoyu die..."
Pig Face snorted, full of grief: "Don't be sad, I envy you kind, you can be buried after death. Humans will only be happy when I die because they will have something to eat."
Chicken Face: "Brother Pig, this is wrong. You usually won't live long enough to die."
The pig cried even more sadly.
The players worked hard, shoveling soil into the pit. Little by little, the moist soil was about to cover the coffin, but one player noticed that the soil seemed to move. He rubbed his eyes and took a closer look.
The manager pointed at him and said, "Why are you being lazy? Bury it now!"
The player rolled his eyes, put away his curiosity, and resigned himself to digging.
Until there was a cracking sound, and a pale hand broke open the heavy coffin lid, and all the creatures present cast their eyes over.
The coffin lid was completely cracked, and a red-haired woman stood up from the narrow coffin in the wood chips. She looked through the crowd and looked straight at Gu Ye: "I'm your girlfriend? Why did the former store manager insist on pestering me?"
Gu Ye's eyes widened and he said "shit" in his heart.
Xiang Liangyu climbed out of the pit and glanced at the coffin that had not yet been buried. He breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at Gu and said word by word: "As you wish, the one lying in there now will be you soon."
The guests looked at each other in confusion. If yesterday's was a last gasp, then now it didn't make sense for it to happen twice.
Chicken Face croaked loudly: "Zombie!"
All the guests and players dispersed again.
