The host did not show up until everyone finished dinner. Although everyone was puzzled, no one asked any more questions.

Song Guicheng looked at Xiaohua's status bar. She was already awake, her big eyes rolling around. The next second she jumped out of the locker, then skillfully got into his pocket and carefully hid herself.

Through the mottled glass, you can see the silent night where all things have disappeared. During the day, watching the vibrant mountains standing silently, the huge black shadow weighs heavily on people's hearts.

Song Guicheng sorted out the clues he had collected so far in his mind: the apple tree in the hotel, the meaningless scratches on the door, the male-dominated hostess... He knocked on the table lightly, but was unable to find any connection among them for the time being.

Zhao Siming had been paying attention to Song Guicheng's movements. He was a little nervous, and just the action of tapping the table with one finger could make him tense up.

He secretly glanced at the young man opposite him, who had a thoughtful look between his brows. Zhao Siming knew that he was trying to figure out the clues of the copy.

He hated Song Guicheng. This man's gentleness and kindness made people like him look even more despicable.

Zhao Siming clenched his hands tightly, his timid expression was covered with a layer of gloom. He looked at Song Guicheng again. The young man was calm, as if nothing could affect him.

I really hope this kind of person dies quickly, he silently prayed in his heart, why did he choose to save people, why did he share clues, why did this kind of good guy still exist when everyone wanted to survive at all costs...

The "goody-goody" Song Guicheng didn't know that he had been overwhelmed by the goody card. He heard a slight noise in his ears, and the next second he looked towards the kitchen door.

After a while, the hostess came out. She took off her apron, revealing a brown shirt and black skirt underneath, and she was holding a few keys in her hand.

Xie Siyou's eyes lit up, and he quietly approached Song Guicheng, determined to be a sticky candy. It's okay during the day, he can be independent and self-reliant, but at night, he must be with his brother!

Chen Kexin glanced at Xie Siyou who was getting closer and closer to Song Guicheng, and silently looked away.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are eight rooms on the second floor, and each room has two beds," said the hostess, "I'm afraid a gentleman or lady will have to stay in one alone."

She counted out seven keys and placed them on the dining table. "The keys have room numbers on them, one for each room. I have spare keys here, too."

It seemed like it took a lot of effort for the hostess's thick lips to utter each word. She had to pause after saying each sentence before continuing with the next one.

"Everyone, go to bed early. You can walk around the farm tomorrow," she paused. "The apple orchard and the church on the farm are both nice."

After saying that, she turned and left, and the kitchen door closed.

Seven keys with brown rust stains were placed on the table, but no one paid attention to them for a while.

"Apple orchard? Holy crap! Then the apples we're looking for might also be in the apple orchard."

“The scope has expanded a lot all of a sudden.”

The first to speak were two boys in the team, who were about twenty years apart in age. The former was surprised, while the latter was calm.

Song Guicheng remembered their names. The younger one was Wu Haochen and the older one was Zheng Jiyan. They sat together and talked to each other very familiarly. They must be teammates.

Others reacted differently, some were numb, some were indifferent, and some were nervous.

Xie Siyou was an optimist. It was the first day of the dungeon, and death had not yet come. He was not very nervous, but quietly asked Song Guicheng: "Shall we go to the apple orchard tomorrow?"

Song Guicheng raised his hand to help him brush off the lint on his clothes and shook his head gently: "Let's go to church tomorrow."

In addition to the apple orchard, the woman also mentioned the church. Compared with the church, the apple orchard is more in line with the main quest "Find Apples", so everyone's attention naturally tilted towards the apple orchard.

Song Guicheng mentioned the church, and Xie Siyou agreed without asking why. He believed that Song Guicheng had his own considerations. Anyway, these places had to be visited, so it didn't matter which one to go first or later.

"What if the key clue is discovered by those two people first?" Xie Siyou winked at Zhao Siming and Zhao Siyu.

The more he looked at these two people, the more he disliked them. He had the urge to stab them to death with one punch. But when he looked at his thin arms and legs, he put his heart back in his stomach.

Song Guicheng was not in a hurry after hearing this: "Then let them find out first. It would be best if they complete the task first. I really want to reap the fruits of their labor."

Xie Siyou: I don’t believe it.

"We'll talk about it tomorrow. I'm going upstairs to rest first." The man named Wu Haochen grabbed a key and whistled at Zheng Jiyan, "Let's go upstairs."

The other players rushed to grab the keys as if they had just woken up from a dream. No one was willing to fall behind, as if whoever fell behind last would become the unlucky one living alone in a room.

Xie Siyou was agile and easily took the room key.

At first glance, it’s number 6. Good, very lucky, his lucky number.

"Brother, look," Xie Siyou held the key in front of Song Guicheng like he was offering a treasure, his round puppy eyes glowing, "This number is not bad, isn't it?"

Song Guicheng was very supportive: "Very good."

"Of course not," Xie Siyou shook his head and patted Song Guicheng on the shoulder, "It's hard to say anything else, but my luck is first-class..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped talking.

"Don't say such things, don't make random promises." He warned himself secretly.

Song Guicheng found it funny watching from the side, but Xie Siyou was indeed lucky. As the saying goes, a fool has good luck. There were so many traps in the "Ankang Orphanage", but he managed to jump through them safely every time.

The team was divided in just a few minutes. Excluding Song Guicheng and Xie Siyou, Zheng Jiyan and Wu Haochen, Zhao Siming and Zhao Siyu, there were 7 people left in the team, 5 girls and 2 boys.

The two boys naturally formed a group to live together. Of the remaining five girls, four were paired up with two people, and the only one left alone was...

Xie Siyou looked at Chen Xinke, whose face had turned pale.

[Coco is left alone, so pitiful, let me save her. ]

[What do you mean you went? Do you think you can survive the night if you go? Let me go, I have thick blood. ]

[All your abacus beads fell on my face. ]

[Silence the universe and listen to the sound of Coco breaking through defense. ]

【I don't care. 】

[It's just a C-level copy, and the ones that can be dealt with are all small situations. ]

……

The barrage is full of enthusiasm, but the reality is completely silent.

The players who formed teams quickly went upstairs, and in the end only Xie Siyou, Song Guicheng and Chen Xinke were left at the dining table.

"That..." Xie Siyou looked at Chen Xinke's dim eyes, opened his mouth, but could not utter any words of comfort.

It's not a pleasant feeling to be alone.

Although being in a group may not necessarily be safe, the feeling of insecurity when alone is pervasive and follows you everywhere. If you stay alone for a long time, you are likely to collapse and get lost.

Chen Xinke seemed to sense that Xie Siyou was hesitant to speak, and she forced a smile with her lips pulled: "I...it's okay, I originally had a teammate, but he was in the last dungeon..."

This must have been a painful experience. Her face was as pale as paper, tears welled up in her eyes, and her lips trembled as she tried her best to hold back her tears.

Xie Siyou couldn't bear it, so he searched his pockets and found that they were empty. Song Guicheng took out a handkerchief and gave it to Chen Xinke.

"Thank you." Chen Xinke's voice was a little choked.

She took a deep breath and reached for the only key left on the table, but another hand took it away before her.

The hand was slender and long, shining moistly under the light.

Chen Xinke looked at Song Guicheng in surprise: "You..."

Xie Siyou was also confused: "Brother..."

"You two can live together," Song Guicheng held the key in his hand casually, "I'll be fine by myself."
