The wind chimes jingled briskly, and the door of the inn in the wilderness was knocked open, and a woman wearing a crow mask and holding a lantern opened the door and entered first.

After her, a group of desperadoes came stepping on the rain and walked into the hotel one after another.The numbers on the room temperature detector dropped slightly.The thick, dark brown carpet was scuffed with rain and mud.

The front desk of the hotel looked at the dirt on the originally clean carpet, and tightened the hand holding the pen, as if displeased.He raised his head and pointed his beaked black mask at the group of guests in the hotel. The shrill voice was still shrill after being blurred by the sound insulation layer of the mask.

"Welcome to the Peony Hotel. I am the guard here."

Yu Yi, one of the "Desperadoes", was looking at the hotel he entered.

The warm lighting in the room shines down gently, and the heating is fully turned on to dissipate most of the cold from the rain-soaked clothes. The wood-structured furniture decoration naturally brings a sense of affinity, and the walls are beautiful. There is no aggressive peony, and the carpet under the feet is soft even through the soles of the shoes.

The gentle and harmless environment around brought some comfort to Yu Yi's tense heartstrings, but Yu Yi thought he was a life-saving person, so he still didn't dare to relax his vigilance completely at this time.

After Yu Yi briefly observed the surroundings, the man wearing a crow mask at the front desk came out from behind the table and introduced the precautions to them: "The condition for passing this level is to survive here for three days."

"You can do anything in the hotel, except for these two things. One is to go out of the hotel, and the other is to break into the basement. If you violate it, you will bear the consequences."

"Next, allocate a room."

……

Audience seats for the Scum Challenge.

"There must be too many survivors in the second round of this challenge. I counted and there are 36. But there are only four seeded players left, and even the unknown level of the black cloak is gone."

"Counting the No. 4, the remaining seed players have 2 Tier 1 and above, 1 Tier [-], and [-] Tier [-]."

"So why is number 44 still alive? I'm dying of anxiety!"

"I, also, very, want, know, know. Now there are only two surviving ones, even the first-order ones. What are the guards doing? Don't you know how to clear the garbage earlier..."

"The front is so courageous, even the guards dare to scold. I'm afraid they have forgotten that the guards are under the orders of the city lord?"

"You can do whatever you want at night, as long as things don't make a big fuss, that guy usually doesn't care about such small things."

"Stop quickly! Change the subject! You are not afraid, I am afraid!"

"Am I the only one who thinks it's good to let No. 44 stay? I want to see how long he, a level zero, can stay there."

"Yeah, just you. I'm just bored."

"I think it's okay, it's rare that it's not the old routine."

"..."

"Don't make a fuss, the ones above are starting to choose the first sacrifice. It's better to vote first after talking so much."

"I voted for number 44."

"Number 44+1, this level zero is too abrupt in it, let's get out of the game as soon as possible."

……

Yu Yi spread his arms and lay on his back on a big bed.Now, he has lived in the single room he was assigned to.And so far, he hasn't encountered any danger.

The bed under him was so soft that he wanted to let out a sigh. Yu Yi felt that his life as a salted fish had been sublimated, and now he didn't even bother to move his eyeballs.

Because he was lying on his back, his eyes were facing the ceiling of the room.On the ceiling is a large area of ​​murals.

The entire ceiling is an old yellow color, with peonies painted in different poses, and even the outer lampshade of the wall lamp is embroidered with patterns of peonies.It's like entering a peony garden in a trance.

In fact, not only the ceiling, but also every wall in this room except the floor, with layers of red painted on the yellowish background.

On the way to be taken to the room by the service staff who called themselves "guards" of the hotel, the guards introduced him to the biggest feature of the hotel, that is the mural of the hotel, "The Merry Peony Corpse".

There are peony murals on every wall of the hotel, and none of the peonies on each wall are the same. The whole of all the murals on the wall is "The Merry Peony Corpse".

When he asked why the mural was called such an intrusive-sounding name, the guard just looked at him meaningfully through the mask, and said that the mural recorded the moment when the peony went from budding to full bloom to decay.

He was at a loss, but the guard's attitude made it difficult for him to ask further questions, so he could only shut up.

At this time, Yu Yi folded his hands back, resting his head on his arms, and lay on his back on the big bed, admiring the peony mural on the ceiling.

The peony on the ceiling is when the peony is in full bloom.The freely stretched petals of the peony and the impactful red make the original static frame look like some kind of ongoing and taboo blooming.Pieces of peonies painted on the mural seem to be swaying with the wind in the next second, converging the grandest red into a romantic flow, making the originally spacious room look cramped.

It's just that the biggest feeling of this red is not the inherent grace of peony, but a kind of bewitching bright red, which makes the watchers feel a sense of palpitation for no reason.

Yu Yi took off his sunglasses and put them on the bedside. He checked the Sanwei umbrella leaning against the bedside and the golden abacus lying beside him with his eyes. Then he turned off the lights and closed his eyes.

Awakened by the dream of death again, Yu Yi opened his eyes in the dark and sat up.There was a strong storm outside the window, and the sound of violent rain passed through the window and reached Yu Yi's ears.

Suddenly a flash of lightning illuminated the cloudy sky, and the light came in through the window, leaving a fleeting, elongated shadow on the wall in front of Yu Yi.

Yu Yi turned on the light and looked forward.I don't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the murals on the wall in front of him had changed slightly.

Under the illumination of the light, in the room late at night, the black shadow he cast on the wall was extremely deep.

Yu Yi quickly realized that this abnormality was not his illusion.Because the black shadow that was originally flat gradually became viscous like a liquid, converging into a bulge.

The vaguely shaped protrusion gradually stretched and deformed, vaguely turning into a human shape, and two arms protruded from the sticky black body.

Like a drunk, Hei Ying staggered towards the bed. At the same time, his human-like arms were folded back and stretched at an extremely unscientific angle.

When its palm touched the wall, it seemed to travel through time and space and submerged into the wall. The viscous arm instantly changed from three-dimensional to two-dimensional, and the shadows of the two arms reflected on the wall.

The shadow stretched rapidly, extending from the walls on both sides towards Yu Yi.

The projection of the shadow only took a moment, and in the blink of an eye, the shadow reached the wall behind Yu Yi.

Yu Yi raised his head as if feeling something, and saw a sticky hand made of black liquid protruding from the wall above his head.

Yu Yi looked at the hand and was silent for a while, his first reaction was to look down at the bed.After finding that the bed was not stained by anything strange, he breathed a sigh of relief and raised his head again.

As if enraged by Yu Yi's contemptuous attitude, black hands attacked downwards.

Yu Yi raised his eyebrows.How could he rest assured to sleep alone in this weird hotel?He had already set up an anti-evil formation around the bed, as long as this black hand continued down, the formation would definitely be triggered, and then...

"Be careful."

A black umbrella appeared in front of his eyes, and the tip of the umbrella happened to touch the shadow's outstretched hand.

Suddenly there was a hoarse coughing sound in the quiet room.

On the wall beside Yu Yi, the ripple-like lines subsided.On top of Yu Yi's head, a pair of cold hands were holding the dark brown umbrella handle, and his wrists were raised slightly.

The black hand was thrust back into the wall by the tip of the umbrella, turning into a shadow again.The shadow that became thin again seemed to have seen a ghost, and quickly shrank back, disappearing under the crack of the door.The figure that was walking towards Yu Yi also disappeared out of thin air.

The moment the black umbrella appeared in front of Yu Yi, Yu Yi realized that it was the umbrella he was leaning against the bed.

And the person holding the umbrella...

Yu Yi followed the pale hand on the handle of the umbrella, and sure enough, the person who made the move just now was Sanwei.

"Brother... how did you come in?" Yu Yi was sure that he hadn't heard the door open just now.

When he saw Sanwei's appearance clearly at this time, his doubts turned into worry in an instant, "Are you okay?"

Sanwei's appearance at this time can only be described as a mess.

His entire black cloak was soaked with water, sticking to his body wetly, exposing his thin back and faint muscle lines.But even then he was wearing a wet hood that was dripping from the brim.

Just looking at the past like this, one can feel that he is as cold as returning from a rainy night.

Before he could answer Yu Yi's words, San Wei put his hand to his lips, turned his head and coughed violently.Under the warm light, his other hand exposed outside the black cloak was still extremely pale.

After coughing, Sanwei turned his head back, and the first sentence was calm as usual, "It's okay, old problem..."

It's just that before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Yu Yi who jumped up from the bed: "Are you in the rain?"

Sanwei took a step back and stopped Yu Yi from reaching out to him.

The cold touch came along the wrist of his right hand. Yu Yi glanced at the hand on his wrist, and said angrily and funnyly: "Don't worry, I won't take off your hood at this time."

After speaking, before San Wei could react, he put his left hand on his forehead.

Not hot, even a little cold.

Yu Yi frowned slightly.

The eyelashes under Sanwei's hood trembled slightly, and he let go of Yu Yi's wrist in silence.In fact, the moment he touched the skin of Yu Yi's wrist, he regretted it a little.The warmth under his hand is completely different from his cold hands all year round. Although he is not afraid of the cold, he has avoided physical contact with people for a long time. At this moment, the instinct to warm up still makes him lose his mind for a moment.

"Fortunately, I don't have a fever. Let's go for a walk and take a hot bath." Yu Yi jumped out of bed, grabbed Sanwei's wrist, and walked to the shower room.

Yu Yi's actual strength was much stronger than Sanwei's imagination, and when someone grabbed his wrist suddenly, Sanwei subconsciously wanted to grab the opponent's hand backhand and fight back quickly, but he immediately realized that the person in front of him was not an enemy, so Barely restrained the body's instinctive reaction.

Seeing Yu Yi's bare feet due to hasty movements, San Wei pursed his lips and let Yu Yi pull himself to the door of the shower room, and then was pushed into the shower room.

Yu Yi closed the shower door neatly, turned on the heater with a bang, turned and left.

Sanwei in the shower stood still for a while, and after a while, he stretched out his hand and touched his forehead lightly.

……

When the sound of water in the bathroom kept coming, Yu Yi flipped through the old magazines that came with the room. A sentence in the magazine caught his attention: The city lord’s experiment of immortality was a great success. After the baptism day, the entire city-state will be able to become an utopia.
