As they were talking, there was a sudden sound of violent beating and the hostess's screams from downstairs. The screams were mixed with the "swishing" sound of tables and chairs sliding across the floor, which was abrupt and obvious in the silent rain.

Chu Wei turned over in bed and sat up, his eyes still hazy with sleep, but a subtle smile appeared on his face: "Something happened."

Before Xie Siyou could figure out the meaning of this smile, Song Guicheng had already opened the door and walked out.

He didn't go downstairs, but leaned on the railing and looked down. Wang Huixiao and Li Ranli also stood beside the railing. The other players just opened the door a little and looked down.

Grayson's fists rained down on the hostess, and the sound of beatings echoed throughout the hotel.

He didn't know when he came back. His hair and beard were wet from the rain and stuck softly to his face. A large part of his body was wet, but his legs and feet were clean.

The hostess trembled and curled up into a ball, falling to the ground, her face covered in blood. Her shouts gradually became weaker and finally drowned out by the sound of rain.

The scene in front of him was very familiar. A long time ago, Calvin was just like the current hostess, suffering inhuman punishment for a small mistake.

Calvin stood next to Song Guicheng, looking down at everything happening downstairs. His eyes were as deep as the dark sky outside.

His expression was very cold, just like the woman at that time.

Everything she watched coldly turned into sharp blades, cutting her at this moment.

Xie Siyou glanced at Song Guicheng's indifferent expression and shrank aside obediently.

Not far away, Li Ranli and Wang Huixiao seemed to have had an argument. They looked confused, one was stunned, the other was excited. Although they were emotional, they still controlled their voices.

However, Song Guicheng had sharp hearing and could hear their conversation clearly just by standing at the door.

"The screams were so miserable." Wang Huixiao touched the earrings on her ears and looked downstairs frequently, seeming to be in a trance.

"Xiaoxiao, this is a dungeon world, not reality," Li Ranli said, word by word, "If you help her, you may be violating the rules!"

Wang Huixiao nodded: "I know, I know." But she still didn't retract her gaze. Her voice was very soft, as if she was speaking to Li Ranli, but also as if she was speaking to herself.

Li Ranli held her hand tightly: "Xiaoxiao, stop looking..."

"Ah Ran..." Wang Huixiao lowered her eyes, her hair falling beside her ears, and finally turned her eyes away, "I just don't understand how he could be so harsh to a woman who does housework, runs the hotel, does laundry and cooks for him?"

“You see, her hair isn’t naturally frizzy and her skin isn’t naturally rough. If she lived alone, no one would beat her. But when she dedicated herself as fuel, she got her retribution instead…” Wang Huixiao’s eyes revealed a kind of bewilderment that was completely different from her chic and neat appearance.

Li Ranli was hurt by this look. She held Wang Huixiao's hand tightly and said, "Go in. We won't watch anymore."

She looked around the corridor and paused when she saw Song Guicheng and Chu Weishi standing at the door of Room 4, but their attention seemed to be focused downstairs.

Noticing Li Ranli's gaze, Song Guicheng turned around and smiled at her. Li Ranli smiled back, and both sides went back to their rooms.

*

The four of them sat around in the house, filling the small room.

Xie Siyou was playing games with Xiaohua. He seemed to know how to take care of children. The two of them were having a lot of fun and Xiaohua's giggles could be heard in the room.

The noise downstairs continued. Today's breakfast was definitely gone, but no one felt sorry, after all, the food cooked by the hostess was really bad.

It was raining heavily outside the window, and the window was blurred by the rain, so I couldn't see outside clearly.

Chen Xinke sighed and said, "I was thinking of going out to look for clues today. How can I go out in this weather?"

The facilities in the farm are backward, with mostly dirt and gravel roads. If you go out in such heavy rain, the soles of your shoes will inevitably be covered with mud, which is difficult to clean and easily violates the rule of not dirtying the hotel.

Song Guicheng was also worried. There was only a day and a half left before the ceremony, but he hadn't figured out any other solution except to go through with it. However, he still comforted Chen Xinke: "Don't worry too much. We can wrap our clothes in our shoes and go out, and then just throw them away when the time comes."

But there’s nothing I can do about my upper body, so let it get wet, as long as I don’t make the hotel dirty.

As he thought so, he quietly looked at the mountains in the distance through the rain. The direction of the mountain opposite the hotel was very strange, low in the middle and high on both sides, and the heights of the two sides seemed to be almost the same.

At first, he didn't think there was anything special, but the more he understood the copy, the more Song Guicheng felt that the shape was like the two horns on the devil's head.

He stroked the window frame with his fingers, as if thinking about something, until he came to his senses when he heard the sound of a door opening downstairs.

Xie Siyou raised his head: "Someone went out?"

"Well, the hostess has gone out." Song Guicheng saw the blurry figure of the hostess in the rain. She limped and slowly walked out of the hotel.

He squinted his eyes and stared at the figure for a moment, then pointed to the window: "She was holding an umbrella and wearing rain boots."

Xie Siyou: "Where is she going?"

Chen Xinke pondered for a moment and said, "It should be the confessional."

Xie Siyou gently tickled Xiaohua: "What a serious crime this must have been, to be beaten like this and to have to confess in a rainstorm."

Song Guicheng looked at Calvin, who was quietly leaning in the corner, eating candy with his head down. He seemed to be completely unconcerned about what was happening outside. Except for the candy wrapper that was unconsciously making a "crackling" sound in his hands, there was nothing unusual.

Chen Xinke stood up from the bed: "Are we going out?"

The other three had no objections. When they were discussing how to tie their feet more appropriately with clothes, the door suddenly rang.

Chu Wei opened the door, and Wu Haochen outside the door immediately met Chu Wei's fierce eyes. He took a step back, poked his head out and said, "I'm looking for Song Guicheng."

Chu Wei stepped aside expressionlessly, and Song Guicheng walked out from behind.

His eyes are completely different from Chu Wei's. His eyes are round and slender, with small double eyelids. His pupils are transparent light brown, looking clean and clear, and very gentle when he smiles.

At this moment, he smiled and asked, "Is there anything? Come in and talk."

Wu Haochen glanced at Chu Wei who was standing aside like a gatekeeper, then walked in with Zheng Ji Yan, bending down.

In the live broadcast room:

[Laughing to death, feeling so guilty]

[Screenshot taken, please take it from the emoji forum]

【Thank you, emoticon supplier】

[No matter how many times I watch it, I always want to say, Song Guicheng, your looks are unbeatable!! ]

[Oh my god, when he smiles like that, I want to give my life to him]

【How about you give a reward to support us? 】

【That’s not necessary. Money is much more important than my life. 】

……

The already crowded little room had two more people in it, and it suddenly became so cramped that even turning around was difficult.

"It's like this, we got two umbrellas and two pairs of rain boots, so we can go out," Wu Haochen paused, "We want to cooperate with you."

The four people in Song Guicheng's team looked at each other, and finally Xie Siyou asked a question: "Aren't the two of you just right?"

Zheng Jiyan said: "You have some clues, right? I want to exchange with you."

He seemed to be talking to four people, but in fact he was only looking at Song Guicheng. Obviously, he knew that this man with a good temper had the most clues.

Song Guicheng was noncommittal: "What do you plan to exchange for it?"

His meaning was very clear, if he wanted to get clues, he had to exchange.

Some information in the copy can be shared, but more information can only be dug out by yourself.

In cooperative copies, although the survival rate of teammates is also an important indicator for calculating points, for anchors with stronger abilities, they are unwilling to have clues taken away for free.

Besides, there is only one MVP in each dungeon, and only one reward. The items dropped in the dungeon are rare, and most of them are strong healing and strong attack items that are rare in the mall.

For example, the MVP reward Song Guicheng got in the last instance, "Xiao Wen's Resentment", has a very strong killing power. Although it is a one-time use, it can save lives at a critical moment. If it is put up for auction, it will definitely be sold at a sky-high price.

Zheng Jiyan also understood what Song Guicheng meant. He looked out the window and said, "When it rains, the farm will change."

Song Guicheng frowned slightly: "How do you know?"

"I just know it. Believe it or not." He adjusted his glasses. "Have you ever thought about the deeper meaning behind the rule that players cannot soil the inn? It is difficult for players to soil the inn when the weather is good. Only when players walk around on rainy days will the probability of soiling the inn increase greatly. The rule that players cannot soil the inn is probably to restrict players from traveling on rainy days."

The more something is restricted, the more crucial clues are hidden.

Zheng Jiyan stood side by side with Wu Haochen leisurely: "The dungeon restricts travel on rainy days, which also means that you can go out only if the conditions are met. You also saw the hostess's outfit just now, right? We got an umbrella and rain boots. It's up to you whether you want to cooperate with us or not."

They both usually act low-key and have good personalities, but the fact that they know there will be changes on the farm on rainy days and that they can get umbrellas and rain boots is enough to show that their abilities should not be underestimated.

Song Guicheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Okay."
