I Was Once a Legend

Chapter 224 After the Fire

Have you ever encountered a fire... Cui Zuojing took a step forward, he walked to the room closest to him at this moment, and gently pressed the doorknob with his blood-stained hand.

He opens the door.

Dong Zheng stood behind the counter, looking at the group of young people who had just entered the hotel through the gate, chatting and laughing relaxedly.

After being stabbed through the heart with a dagger by an unknown assailant, Dong Zheng crashes into the next scene in excruciating pain, he can see and hear different voices but has absolutely no control over his body.The scene in front of him kept changing with the movement, and he soon realized that he was using someone's No.1 vision to watch everything he experienced.

He saw a cold and dark confinement room with mottled walls, a blond nurse with an impatient face, all kinds of strange people in the lounge, a couple sitting in front of the fireplace and talking loudly; he saw a restaurant full of people , doctor with glasses and operating room.

He listened to the fat middle-aged man talking about his story and escape plan, heard the woman's struggle for suffocation in the basement late at night, and the sound of a knife piercing her body.

The final scene was fixed at the corpse snatcher holding up the iron bar that was about to be smashed down on his head. His blood-stained hands were so familiar, and he closed the door in front of him without any hesitation.

Dong Zheng woke up suddenly, and found himself lying on the bench in the backstage lounge, everything that was so clear in his memory just now quickly blurred, like every time he woke up from a dream, disappearing like a fish swimming in the sea of ​​memory .

Soon, he could only remember that he had an impressive dream just now, but he couldn't remember the content of the dream at all.

Dong Zheng looked around, the light was on in the lounge, and the cool white light shone on the retina, leaving a black spot for a while, the wardrobe was placed against the wall, there were unopened pastries on the long table, and the uniform jacket was draped over the chair. back.Looking at all this, he couldn't tell for a moment whether he was still in a dream or the reality that he had arrived in the box.

Dong Zheng pinched himself hard, it hurt.

There seems to be something wrong with the prisoner link with Cui Zuojing. In his perception, the young man is very close to him, even more like staying in the prisoner's space, but he can't find Cui Zuojing. , No matter how he called, Cui Zuojing didn't respond to him.

Is something wrong?Dong Zheng vaguely felt that he should know where Cui Zuojing was at this moment, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't grasp anything, as if there was a mess of lines crowded in his mind, and the thread ends were hidden in the chaos.

He temporarily let go of his doubts and got up from the bench. Dong Zheng felt himself from head to toe. He was wearing a white shirt and black trousers. In his trousers pocket was a rectangular golden flip lighter with the abbreviation of VC engraved on the cover. .

Dong Zheng picked up the coat on the back of the chair and put it on. He adjusted the cuffs and collar, and there was a nameplate on the chest of the clothes, which read: vincent·campbell.

It should be the name of his current identity, and the box prompt appeared again in the upper left corner of the line of sight:

[Mission Update: Go to the lobby and entertain guests]

The previous task of [Find the Murderer] was gone. Before Dong Zheng could complete it, Lois was poisoned and stunned, and he was injured and left the hotel scene. He wondered if he would be punished for failing the task.

There was nothing to search in the lounge. Dong Zheng opened the door and walked in. The lounge was directly connected to the front desk. He stood behind the counter. Not long after, he heard someone's voice approaching from outside.

This is a rather luxurious hotel with an overall European style. The marble floor is so bright that people's faces can be seen. There are statues of the Virgin carved on the two load-bearing columns, and the spiral staircase goes all the way up. This building has at least four floors.

The automatic door slowly slid open to both sides as the guests approached, and a group of young men and women walked in. They were about in their 20s, two couples, and two girls.

"Hello." A girl in a couple spoke to Dong Zheng first, "We made a reservation yesterday."

She has a pear-blossom hair, is petite, and dresses cutely.

Dong Zheng looked at the computer in front of him, and the corresponding instructions appeared on it. He had stayed in hotels countless times during his business trips, and he was very familiar with what the hotel staff should say and do at this time. He asked the girl for everyone's ID card , operate the computer to register the room for them.

The girl was paying attention to Dong Zheng's movements, while her boyfriend was holding his mobile phone with his head down to send messages. After a while, the boy raised his head, and a single long-haired girl who was resting on the sofa not far away had a phone in his pocket. The phone made a ding-dong sound.

No one noticed this, the young men and women were chatting excitedly among themselves about their plans for the journey, except for Dong Zheng.

After the room was opened, Dong Zheng handed the three room cards to the girl from Lihuatou. The two couples lived in one room respectively, 301 and 303 respectively, while the other two girls lived in 304, and 302 lived in the family of three who were there last night. , and 305 is booked out, and the guests will arrive at six o'clock in the evening.

In order to create a European-style hotel as much as possible, and the floors are not high, there is no elevator installed. Six people walked up the spiral staircase, admiring all the luxurious decorations in the hotel.

Soon, the hall became quiet again.

[Mission update: Go to the third floor at 12:00 and clean room 305. 】

Dong Zheng glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer. It was 9:37, and there were two and a half hours left. What would he need to do during this time?

As soon as this idea came to his mind, the jump option that had appeared in the [Good Neighbor] box appeared again.

[There will be a long period of meaningless plot after that, do you want to jump the time to the moment when the next important plot point occurs? 】

After weighing it, Dong Zheng chose yes.

In [Good Neighbor], he was caught in the trap of plot jumping, but fortunately, he quickly discovered the abnormality and did not cause much loss. This is Dong Zheng's encounter with jumping again. The type of the plot of this box is similar to [ The suspense in "Good Neighbor" is different, and there is a high probability that the same trap will not be set.

He maintains the highest vigilance at all times in the box, especially now that he can't perceive Cui Zuojing's situation, he is alone, but people's concentration is limited, even with the bonus of spiritual direction, Dong Zheng also couldn't concentrate for too long.

This box is full of murderous threats, the sooner it gets out, the better.

Dong Zheng's eyes flashed, and the time figure had changed to 11:58.

He went upstairs according to the task requirements, and his intuition told Dong Zheng that something unusual must happen.

Going up the spiral staircase to the third floor, a sunset scene was hung on the wall of the corridor next to the stairs. Dong Zheng had just stepped up the last step when he saw the pear-headed girl who was in charge of opening the room before eagerly leaving room 301. When she came out, she seemed to be holding back her anger, and when she saw Dong Zheng, she suddenly stopped her hurried steps.

Dong Zheng noticed something unusual at a glance: "Hi, may I help you?"

A cold light flashed in the girl's eyes. She took a deep breath, smiled at Dong Zheng, and said, "Can I borrow a lighter? My friend's birthday is today, and we tried to light a candle but couldn't find one."

"Okay." Dong Zheng took out the golden lighter with VC engraved on it from his pocket, and handed it to the girl, "Please be careful when using fire."

The girl thanked him with a smile, held the lighter tightly in her hand, turned around and walked to 304 where the door was closed.

Dong Zheng was behind her, the girl knocked on the door and waited at the door, and Dong Zheng used the universal card to open the door of 305 and walked in, but he kept paying attention to the movement beside him.

The door next door finally opened after a quiet minute, the girl walked in, and then the sound of the door closing cut off the source of the information.

Dong Zheng looked at this room with peace of mind, everything was no different from the most standard hotel, with a small balcony with good lighting, and a round bathtub in the corner, where you can take a bath with the curtains closed at night.

After some inspection, there was nothing abnormal. Dong Zheng walked to the closed bathroom door and pressed his hand on the handle, but he didn't use any force.

He had an inexplicable premonition in his heart that there must be something inside.

The handle had been deformed by the fire to a certain extent, Cui Zuojing tried to twist the handle of Room 301, and the door creaked slowly open in front of him.

The room was burnt to the ground, but the luxury before could still be seen. There was a mobile phone on the scorched bed, which was surprisingly intact. Cui Zuojing pressed the lock screen button, and the screen lit up, reminding him enter password.

Cui Zuojing entered 8520 with the mentality of trying, and the small lock image on the screen was unlocked, and the secrets in the entire phone were fully revealed. The desktop pointed to a snow-white Samoyed sticking out its tongue.

Cui Zuojing: ……………

He really just tried it casually. Some people will be lazy and set the password to the simplest vertical line. It worked.

Well... just treat yourself as the Ouhuang possessed.Cui Zuojing was the first to open the social software, and saw the message box at the top of WeChat at a glance. The phone owner's note to the person was "little girl cousin".

Clicking on the news, a very explicit pornographic photo was exposed in front of Cui Zuojing's eyes. In the photo, the long-haired girl was wearing only underwear, smiling provocatively at the camera, and the top-down shooting angle showed her good figure. Followed by a message with very pornographic words, it probably means... um...

Cui Zuojing flipped through the chat records, which were basically unsightly photos and words, and judging from the conversation between the two, the owner of the phone also had a girlfriend, and the relationship between the woman and the man's girlfriend not bad.

The circle is so messy.

Soon Cui Zuojing quit the chat interface between the two of them in a nonchalant manner. He glanced down and found a message box with the note "wife" at the bottom.

It's okay, this person, who sent such a blatant message with Xiaosan, and set the phone password so simple, isn't he afraid that something will happen one day?

Copying the mobile phone in his pocket, Cui Zuojing found nothing else. At this time, there was a faint sound of knocking on the door next door. He walked out of 301, and the knocking sound became clearer. The things inside were desperately trying to get out.

Cui Zuojing reached the door, but the impact stopped.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside. Cui Zuojing tried to twist the doorknob, and it was locked.

He was still carrying the kitchen knife he had brought from the madhouse, and instead of cracking the door lock violently, he went to room 303 instead.

It's easy for Cui Zuojing to break the door, but it's not clear what is closed inside the door. If it's something tricky, wouldn't it be asking for trouble?

Since the box doesn't want him to meet now, don't bother.

After walking away from the door of 302, the impact sounded again, again and again, Cui Zuojing ignored it, and the door of 303 could not be opened, but in the gap between the door and the floor, there was a very familiar small card.

Cui Zuojing leaned over to grind out the small card, and a series of letters were written in black pen on the pattern of sexy beauties.

【oprvvhmjieubpdp】

Cui Zuojing didn't know, so he guessed that it might be some kind of password, but there were not enough clues to release more information.
