After reading the leaflet, everyone showed thoughtful expressions on their faces.

It seems that this is the mission for this time. It's just that "surprise" is too general, and it needs to be investigated in the next three days.

"But before you move in, I want to tell you three pieces of advice." The old lady continued unhurriedly: "First, it's best to light the candles beside the bed before going to bed at night; second, don't go out casually after nine o'clock in the evening." room; third, don’t go to the grove behind the hot spring.”

As soon as the old lady finished speaking, a girl with a student hair asked, "Why?"

This girl is called Huang Xiaobai, and according to her own account, she is still a high school student.

Hearing the words, the old lady rolled her cloudy eyeballs and glanced at her, and said quietly: "Because something terrible will happen, you'd better not try it lightly, but..."

The old lady elongated her tone deliberately when she said this, and suddenly laughed ho ho, showing a mouthful of porcelain white and neat teeth that were completely inappropriate for her age.

"If you don't listen to me, an old woman, and want to try, then no matter what happens in the end, you will ask for it." The old lady said, sweeping over everyone's faces one by one again with her dark eyes: "Our hotel is not Responsible."

A few of them who were a bit timid couldn't hold back, and immediately shivered.

At this moment, Ke Xu asked, "Are you the only one in this hotel?"

The old lady lowered her slack eyelids and said, "If there are other people, is it necessary for me, an old woman, to show my face here?"

"Then you are the boss?" Ke Xu asked again: "What's the boss's name?"

The old lady turned her back to open a small dark red wooden cabinet nailed to the wall, and replied, "I am not the boss here, and I am just employed. My surname is Liu, and you can call me Mrs. Liu." .”

After opening the cabinet, Ning Zishan saw two rows of keys hanging inside, and there was a small house number vaguely on the keys.

While speaking, Mrs. Liu had already taken the keys and turned around, and distributed the keys to everyone one by one: "Now the hotel is small, there are only ten rooms, just ten of you, enough points."

After distributing the keys, Mrs. Liu said again: "The guest rooms are on the second and third floors. I am an old bone, and it is difficult to climb the stairs, so I won't take you up."

As she spoke, she pointed to a wooden door on the left side of the reception hall, "Behind this door there is a bathroom and a dressing room. Passing through the dressing room is the hotel's hot spring. There are bathrobes and swimsuits for you in the guest room. That's it." Pointing to the wooden door on the right, he said, "This is the restaurant and lounge, you can go back to your room to rest now, and the restaurant will start serving dinner in half an hour."

If it were a normal hotel, the attitude of the reception staff would have been complained a hundred times by customers, but in this weird world, everyone dared not speak out, took their keys and walked down the stairs next to the reception desk. went upstairs.

The interior of the entire hotel is basically made of logs, and both the walls and the floor retain the original color of the wood.

It's just that this hotel looks really old and neglected to clean, the corners are covered with black ash, and there are some black marks on the walls, as if it had been burnt.

The stairs are a bit narrow, and can only accommodate two people walking side by side, and ten people have to line up and file up. The loose wooden floor makes "creaking" groans from time to time.

Ning Zishan was walking in the middle, and heard Huang Xiaobai say behind him: "This staircase looks so solid, won't it collapse if we go up together?"

Then another person mocked: "Then you can come up after we have all gone up."

Huang Xiaobai turned to look at Mrs. Liu who was still standing behind the reception desk, and trembled: "Let's go up together."

As soon as he went up to the second floor, Ning Zishan saw a retro clock standing by the wall. The brass pendulum swayed rhythmically from side to side, and the time displayed on the dial was six o'clock.

Before parting, the man named Feng Lerong said: "Based on my experience in dungeons, for your own safety, you'd better follow the advice given by the NPC this time."

Listen to the NPC and you won't die.

This kind of talk is for newcomers who have just finished one or two dungeons, they may listen to it, but people who have experienced a few more worlds will know that you can't blindly follow what NPCs say, and you have to rely on yourself to believe what you shouldn't believe. Judging, just like the last dungeon, all the players who listened to the villagers died there in the end.

Feng Lerong's words reminded Ning Zishan of Jiang Xingfa, and his affection for him was halved immediately.

At this time, a thin boy in the crowd suddenly said reluctantly: "Do I have to light candles? I don't sleep well. If there is light in the room at night, I won't be able to sleep."

Then another young man dressed in hip-hop also choked at Feng Lerong: "How do you know that what the NPC says is definitely beneficial to us? What if that old woman is lying?"

Ning Zishan remembered that one of these two people was Xun Kaikai and the other was Ding Feiyue. Xun Kaikai looked more introverted, while Ding Feiyue seemed to have a bad temper. He was the one who choked on the girl downstairs just now.

Feng Lerong was not angry when he was directly questioned by the other party. Instead, he smiled and said, "If you don't want to believe it, you don't have to light the candles. I'm just proposing a method that I think has a higher safety factor."

Ding Feiyue snorted, put his index finger on the key ring of his room, and went up to the third floor first with a flick.

Although Feng Lerong didn't specifically say how many dungeons he has experienced, but his calm and calm temperament cannot be faked, so most people are still willing to believe his words, and they said a few more words before they dispersed .

The room number of the key in Ning Zishan's hand was 2-5, which was the innermost room on the second floor. He deliberately hesitated for a while, wanting to see which room Ke Xu lived in when he passed by him.

Ke Xu saw through such obvious carelessness at a glance. Not only did he not talk to him when he passed by, but he deliberately squeezed the room number on the key into his palm.

Ning Zishan didn't see Ke Xu's room number, but saw him walking past him towards the third floor, and his expression instantly became a little disappointed.

"My room is on the third floor." Ke Xu's plain voice suddenly came from behind: "3-1, remember to light candles at night."

When Ning Zishan turned his head, Ke Xu had already walked upstairs on the creaking stairs.

Walking along the dimly lit corridor to the door of the last room, Ning Zishan could not tell why, but Ning Zishan only felt that he was in a terrible mood right now.

The key turned slightly in the lock, and the old door hinge made a short and sharp creaking sound, revealing the dark room behind the door, like a monster with its mouth wide open waiting for its prey to fall into its net.

A musty smell mixed with dust came over his face, choking Ning Zishan into several sneezes.

He rubbed his nose, touched the light switch in the room by the light in the corridor, and pressed it. The tungsten lamp with a simple lampshade on the roof flickered, finally illuminating the whole room.

This is really a very simple hotel. The room is not big, only [-] square meters. There is a clothes hanger at the entrance. There is a small wooden table in the middle of the room. There is a small clock on the table and two chairs under the table. .

A small double bed was placed near the window, and there was a small bedside table beside the bed.

There was a candlestick on the bedside table, and a white candle was stuck in the candlestick.

Except for the electric lights, there are no home appliances in the whole room. Fortunately, there is a separate small bathroom, but there is no shower equipment in it.

There was a pair of cheap-looking gray curtains hanging on the window, which looked like a dead man's face, and they were being drawn tightly. The whole room should have had no wind for a long time, which is why it is so suffocating.

Ning Zishan first checked the room with the help of the light. Although the air inside was not very good, it was cleaned fairly clean, but some corners were covered with a layer of black dust just like the outside.

After checking the room, Ning Zishan walked to the window, opened it, and the cool night breeze blew in.

The sun had already set, and there was only a gleam of light left outside the window. The woods not far away were dimly shadowed, looking like elongated ghosts standing there.

Ning Zishan looked away uncomfortably.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door of Ning Zishan's room. When he opened the door, he saw Feng Lerong standing outside his door. Before he could speak, Feng Lerong explained his purpose: "Dinner is coming soon!" It's time, do you want to go to the restaurant together?"

Ning Zishan glanced back at the clock on the table. The time was 06:30. Before going upstairs, Mrs. Liu said that dinner would be served in half an hour, which was around [-]:[-]. Ning Zishan felt that the time was almost there. So she nodded, locked the door and went downstairs with Feng Lerong.

They were the first to arrive at the restaurant. There were several round tables in the restaurant. The two of them walked to the largest table at the same time, and then randomly found a seat at the table and sat down, waiting for the others to go downstairs and start eating.

Perhaps because they thought it was too boring for the two of them to sit like this, Feng Lerong took the initiative to chat with Ning Zishan: "I remember when you introduced yourself just now, you said that your name is Ning Zishan."

Ning Zishan nodded.

"It's a nice name." Feng Le said with a smile: "It matches your temperament very well. You can tell that you are a kind and gentle person."

Feng Lerong looks elegant and has a gentle temperament, and his smile makes people feel like a spring breeze, but this kind of opening remarks like picking up a conversation still makes Ning Zishan a little respectful and insensitive, so he smiled slightly: "Thank you."

"I noticed you when you entered the door earlier." Feng Lerong didn't care about Ning Zishan's polite but repulsive attitude, and continued to smile and said: "You look very disturbed, and you have just passed the first A copy of the rookie?"

"This is the fifth one." Ning Zi said kindly.

Feng Lerong opened her eyes slightly when she heard the words, and said in surprise: "Forgive my blindness, then you are considered half an old man."

Ning Zishan was a little embarrassed and said: "Actually, a friend took me through the previous dungeons. I'm actually... maybe not as good as some newcomers."

Feng Lerong suddenly realized, paused, and seemed to think of something again: "Could your friend be..."

As soon as I said this, the wooden door of the restaurant was suddenly pushed open, and Ke Xu walked in from the door.

When he went downstairs, he went to look for Ning Zishan on the second floor, but found that he was no longer in the room, and he was wondering, but when he went downstairs, he found that he was sitting and chatting with Feng Lerong in the dining room. Le Rong went downstairs with Ning Zishan before himself, maybe it was jealousy or something else, anyway, it felt like the little cake that was on his plate was suddenly snatched by a stranger, and Ke Xu was extremely upset.

"I thought I would be the first to come to the restaurant, but I didn't expect you to come earlier than me." Ke Xu's tone was flat, with no expression on his face, but Ning Zishan could feel that Ke Xu was not very happy now.

"What are you talking about?" Ke Xu strode over, there were so many empty seats, he insisted on grabbing a stool from the next table, and squeezed between Ning Zishan and Feng Lerong.

Feng Lerong smiled and said, "Just chatting casually."

"Casual chat?" Ke Xu cast all his eyes on Ning Zishan, as if asking.

This caused Ning Zishan to have the illusion that he was caught cheating on the spot. He frowned, got up abruptly and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Ke Xu that guy!Ning Zishan stood in front of the simple washbasin, looked at his own reflection in the mirror, and thought angrily, why are he inexplicably angry now when he clearly rejected him?I really don't understand him more and more.

When Ning Zishan came back from the bathroom, most of the people had already taken their seats in the restaurant. Ning Zishan went to a place away from Ke Xu and sat down. Ke Xu's eyebrows moved slightly.

At 35:[-], everyone arrived, and Mrs. Liu pushed a three-story dining car to the restaurant.

Ning Zishan didn't pay attention at the front desk before, but only now did he realize that the clothes of this old lady are very old, gray cloth and black cloth pants, and the clothes still use buttons.

Mrs. Liu pushed the dining cart and parked beside the dining table, and there were ten bowls of Yangchun noodles on the dining cart.

The amber soup is fragrant and fragrant, the thin white noodles are distinct, and a handful of chopped green onions are sprinkled on the surface.

When Ning Zishan saw the noodles, he thought of the egg noodles that Ke Xu made for himself in the first dungeon. He didn't react to those ambiguous words at the time, but now thinking of them, he blushed uncontrollably and his heart beat.

Ning Zishan glanced at Ke Xu secretly, and found that the other party was also looking at him, wondering if he thought of the same thing as him, and the corner of his mouth curled up ambiguously.

"Isn't that right? I'll eat this at night?" Ding Feiyue was obviously not satisfied with this dinner. He stirred the noodles twice with chopsticks: "The clear soup has little water, not even a bit of oil."

The old lady Liu didn't even raise her head, and said neither salty nor bland: "Young man, it's good for your health to eat light at night."

Perhaps because he was afraid that Ding Feiyue would say something to anger the NPCs, and there would be no good fruit for them to eat, Feng Lerong quickly stopped him and said, "It's good to have something to eat, don't be too picky."

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of chopsticks to taste the noodles first, and then boasted: "It tastes good, the soup is very fresh, try it."

Ning Zishan also took a bite. Although it was not as delicious as Ke Xu's cooking, compared to the food in the previous dungeons, this side was indeed good.

Seeing everyone moving their chopsticks, Ding Feiyue snorted, and reluctantly began to eat the bowl of noodles in front of him.

"Breakfast will start at eight o'clock tomorrow morning." Mrs. Liu left the restaurant after finishing speaking.

Because they had just entered the dungeon, everyone didn't have much information to exchange, and the whole restaurant could only hear the sound of eating noodles for a while.

Feng Lerong ate quickly, and Ning Zishan had already finished eating when there was still half a bowl left. He stood up and said, "I'm done eating, I'll go back to my room first, everyone take your time."

After Feng Lerong left, other people who finished their meal also left the restaurant one after another, and the dinner time ended in silence.

Ning Zishan put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, stood up and went upstairs, and Ke Xu silently followed behind him.

After returning to the room, the air in the room was much fresher. Ning Zishan closed the window and drew the curtains again, went to the bathroom to wash up briefly, and saw the candlestick on the bedside table when he came back to prepare for sleep.

The candlestick is made of brass, simple funnel-shaped, and has no decorations. The white candle on it is about two fingers thick. Can this candle really burn for three nights?

Ning Zishan looked around while thinking, and finally found a box of matches in the drawer of the bedside table.

After lighting the candles and turning off the lights, Ning Zishan crawled into bed.

The quilt was cold, and it was not as soft and comfortable as it looked, and the bed still had a faint smell of smoke.

Bean-sized flames flickered in front of his eyes, Ning Zishan turned over and shrunk his body uncomfortably.

This was the first time he slept alone after he entered the dungeon. He used to have Ke Xu by his side. Thinking of this, Ning Zishan realized belatedly that Ke Xu had deeply integrated into everything he knew in this world. Every day is spent, so that when the other party is not around, no matter what Ning Zishan does, it is easy to bring back memories of being with him, and then involuntarily miss every minute and every second with him.

Like a kind of poison, it has already penetrated into the skin and made Ning Zishan addicted.

Ning Zishan sighed heavily, turned over again, and slowly slipped into the abyss of sleep amidst his chaotic thoughts.

The smell of smoke came into the nasal cavity, and the smoke seemed to be mixed with a burnt smell of burnt protein.

How can there be smoke?Is there a fire somewhere?

Ning Zishan frowned, his consciousness gradually became clear, but the smell of smoke seemed to disappear again.

Ning Zishan opened his eyes a little, and saw that the candle on the bedside table was still burning, but the candlelight——

The originally orange-red candlelight turned into a strange and icy blue-green color, jumping like will-o'-the-wisps.

The mattress behind him suddenly sank, as if something was crawling onto his bed, and the more intense burnt smell came from behind, Ning Zishan was startled and completely woke up.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Ning Zishan: Ke counsels you to be shameless, if you don't eat it yourself, you won't allow others to eat it!

Ke Xu: Who says I won't eat, don't cry when I eat.
