High-energy warning ahead! ! !

Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere became extremely dull.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but there seems to be a damp smell in the corridor, which can't go away. There is a window in the center of each floor, which is open for ventilation.

The landlady looked at everyone strangely again, "Don't tell me, you also have shadows about the house?"

Xia Letian said: "No, I just feel that the lights here are a bit dim, and I'm not used to it."

Everyone nodded quickly when they heard the words.

The landlady let out a groan, and said helplessly: "It's a little dark, but there's nothing you can do about it. The light bulbs in the old buildings are always easy to break, and the darker light bulbs will be stronger. It will take a while for you to get used to it. "

Chen Ding also said at this time: "So that's the case." Then he thought of another thing, and asked the landlord with some concern: "What about the lights in the room, will it also fail?"

The landlord said: "The lights in the room are good, you will know when you come in and have a look."

As she spoke, she immediately opened the door with the key, then went in first and turned on the light, motioning for everyone to come in and check the house.

In fact, no matter how many problems there are in this house, everyone must live in this house, so as not to violate the rules of the game and be obliterated by the game.

Xia Letian was still in the corridor, with an indescribably weird expression.

Chen Ding didn't bother Xia Letian, but continued to chat with the landlord in the house: "I think this place is good, so I will rent this one."

Liang Hongyu and Wang Ruoyu also nodded.

The landlady immediately said: "Then you come and sign the contract, and then, although our community is a bit remote, there are all the facilities that should be around. Is it okay to have one thousand and five a month?"

Everyone nodded, even if the monthly rent is 1 yuan, they still have to rent this house.

The landlady said: "Then please sign the contract."

Chen Ding and the others accepted the contract handed over by the landlady. The content of the above contract was not much different from the reality. It was [-] a month, paid every six months, and water and electricity bills were not included.

Chen Ding thought about it, and was about to sign a forged name on the contract, but Xia Letian who was outside the door suddenly came in and asked the landlady, "Is this really Room 444?"

Everyone was surprised.

What does Wang Xiaoming mean by this?

For everyone, what Xia Letian said was almost as important as an imperial decree, without even the slightest doubt, they stood up in fright.

The landlady also stood up and replied, "Of course it's room 444. Look at the house number hanging outside, it's 444."

Chen Ding immediately put down the signed contract, hurried out of the room, and whispered to Xia Letian: "Wang Xiaoming, what did you find?"

Xia Letian replied: "The house number in front says 403, and the school number further ahead is 402."

Chen Ding immediately realized that what Xia Letian said was wrong, and his expression changed slightly. He walked back quickly, and saw that the house number behind him was 405, and then 406.

Only the house number of the room rented by the player is 444.

Does this house number have any other meaning, or that this is not the real room 444 at all.

At this moment, Chen Ding thought a lot.

Xia Letian walked in, picked up the contract on the table, and could see that Room 444 was indeed written on it, and he asked again: "Apart from this building, do other units have Room 444?"

The landlady said without hesitation: "No, the staff who installed the door made a mistake in the house number of this room, so it became 444. This room in the whole community is 444."

For a moment, everyone didn't know whether to trust the landlady.

To be on the safe side, Chen Ding proposed to ask everyone to check in other units in front of them to see if there is room 444.

Seeing this, the landlady asked, "What? You still think this house number is unlucky?"

Everyone didn't speak.

The landlady seemed a little annoyed, "Sure, then you can go and check to see if what I said is true or not!"

"This...then do we still need to check it?" Liang Hongyu asked.

He didn't dare to offend the landlady, who didn't know whether it was a ghost or a human, and he didn't want to go to other floors separately, so as not to be attacked by a ghost alone.

But Xia Letian said: "No, we can just check this building directly."

Chen Ding was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said: "That's right, you just need to check this building."

Because the game mission has been clearly stated, players are required to stay in Room 4 in Unit 444.

Unit four naturally refers to this fourth building.

But 444 does not necessarily refer to the 4th floor. In order not to be cheated by the game, it is natural to go to other floors to check.

But the problem is coming,

Who is going?

Xia Letian said: "Let me and Pei Ying go."

The reason for choosing Pei Ying is very simple. After all, the identity of the landlady is unknown, so it is natural to leave two male players to protect the woman.

But if only Xia Letian goes alone, it will delay time, so he can only choose female players to go to other floors.

Among the five players, there are only two women. Xia Letian and Wang Ruoyu are not familiar with each other, so Pei Ying is the best choice.

Chen Ding nodded and said, "Go."

He was very assured that Pei Ying would stay with Xia Letian, or in other words, Pei Ying would be the safest if she stayed by Xia Letian's side.

Liang Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief, and was very grateful that Xia Letian did not choose to separate himself from Wang Ruoyu.

Soon, Xia Letian and Pei Ying left.

The remaining three players immediately stared at the landlord. Chen Ding had no choice but to stand up and start looking at the room.

This room has two bedrooms and one living room. The master bedroom looks a bit messy but it is relatively clean. Although the second bedroom is smaller, it is also very clean.

There is a sofa in the living room, enough for people to lie down and rest.

-

the other side.

Xia Letian and Pei Ying went to the top floor to search down one by one, but in order to prevent some ghosts from hiding in the elevator and attacking the players, the two chose to go up the stairs in a tacit understanding.

Although a bit troublesome.

Fortunately, during this period, most of Pei Ying's injuries have recovered, and it does not affect climbing the stairs. This building has exactly twelve floors, and it took the two of them about 10 minutes to climb up.

After arriving at the top floor, the two immediately began to check the house numbers of all the rooms on the 12th floor. After walking around, the two of them suddenly had strange expressions.

The landlady really didn't seem to be lying.

The house numbers on the 12th floor are the same as those on the fourth floor, and they are all named after the rooms on the floor.

1201.

1202.

All the way to the sixth door 1206 are exactly the same format.

Subsequently, the two went down to the 11th floor and checked one by one.

Same as 12 floors.

They all start from floor 11, and then distinguish from 01 to 06, and there is no room 444.

Logically speaking, there is no need for Xia Letian and Pei Ying to continue the search. After all, this is an 11-story building. Xia Letiansi said to Pei Ying: "You can just stand in the corridor and wait for me in a while. I will go and check. .”

This will save Pei Ying's energy.

However, Pei Ying didn't want Xia Letian to treat him specially, and said seriously, "I can help you investigate together."

Although she is not very strong in all aspects, she will never hide under the wings of others and do nothing, and enjoy the fruits of labor in exchange for the danger of others with peace of mind.

Xia Letian naturally knew what kind of person Pei Ying was, so he patiently persuaded him: "Pei Ying, you know that I am physically stronger than many people, this matter is not a burden to me, you should be here Save your strength at all times, after all, there may still be dangers in the future."

Pei Ying opened her mouth, and before she could speak, Xia Letian said again: "What's more, aren't we friends?"

Faced with Xia Letian's sincere words, Pei Ying finally smiled and said, "I see, then go quickly, I'll stand here and wait for you."

Xia Letian hummed and left quickly.

After searching around and returning, the two went straight to the next floor, Pei Ying was waiting for Xia Letian at the corner of the corridor, and Xia Letian went in to search alone.

After Xia Letian came out, Pei Ying didn't ask what was the result, Xia Letian said to Pei Ying first: "I didn't find it."

The two continued to walk down until the fourth floor, Xia Letian said: "Pei Ying, you go back to room 444 first, I will continue down."

Pei Ying seriously instructed: "Okay, then be careful."

Xia Letian continued to go down, searched the four floors at a very fast speed, and returned to 5 in less than 444 minutes.

Pei Ying showed surprise, and then felt a little uncomfortable.

She is already aware of her existence, which seems to be a drag on Xia Letian's footsteps, but at least she is also working hard to make her own contribution to this small team.

Although insignificant.

When Pei Ying was thinking about this, Xia Letian and Chen Ding looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.Chen Dingming understood, and then said to the landlord: "Sister, do you think this contract needs to be signed by everyone or just one representative?"

The landlady rolled her eyes, as if she wanted to talk, but then remembered that these people wanted to rent their own house, so she endured it immediately and said: "You have to sign, otherwise I can't let you live."

Chen Ding and everyone looked at each other, not sure if the name should be the pseudonym they took in the game, or the nickname of the game.

Xia Letian picked up the pen first, and said, "Okay, I'll sign first."

He wrote the three words Wang Xiaoming in the blank space of his signature, but he didn't expect any characters to appear on the paper, as if the pen had run out of ink.

"This pen seems to be out of ink." Xia Letian's heart moved, and he immediately said to the landlady.

The landlady snorted, took it over and muttered, "No, I remember it was quite useful when I brought it."

As she said, she drew a few marks on the palm of her hand with a pen, and handed it to Xia Letian, "Look, isn't there a word here?"

Xia Letian pretended to be puzzled and said, "Really, I'll try again to see if I can write."

At this time, he already knew what to sign at the contract office.

Xia Letian quickly wrote three words on the paper: [Pipi Xia]

This time, words appeared on the contract.

Looking at this line of words, Xia Letian secretly thought that it was true, the contract must be signed with the player's nickname to be recognized by the system as a valid contract.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Letian handed the pen to Chen Ding without explaining anything. After all, Chen Ding would know what to write as long as he saw the font on the contract.

Chen Ding glanced at the contract, showing a slightly surprised expression, and then thought of Xia Letian's series of reactions just now, and immediately signed his game nickname without hesitation.

Then there was Pei Ying.

Naturally, Liang Hongyu would not be so stupid as to sign his real name in the real world, but he also did not want to sign his game nickname like the three of Xia Letian. come out.

"how so."

Liang Hongyu was stunned for a moment, subconsciously flicked the pen a few times, and then continued to draw on the paper, but still couldn't write anything.

At this time, he realized something was wrong after a while, so he could only write down his game nickname with a bitter face and reluctance.

After all, the game mission has been clearly stated, requiring the player to live in room 444 for seven days, he does not want to violate the rules and be obliterated by the game.

Then there was Wang Ruoyu, she obediently wrote down her nickname in the game, and nervously handed over the contract to Xia Letian.

Xia Letian nodded to Wang Ruoyu, then carefully looked at the signing place, and returned it to the landlady after confirming that there was no problem.

The landlady didn't even look at the contract, she stood up and handed the key to Xia Letian, "This is your spare key, don't lose it, I paid hundreds of dollars for this lock."

Several people immediately went out to send the landlady away.

The landlady suddenly seemed to remember something, stopped and turned to the player and said, "By the way, don't just come out and wander around in the middle of the night."

This kind of reminder seemed to indicate something, and immediately made the players nervous. Chen Ding pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Oh? Why is that?"

The landlady waved her hand and smiled: "It's nothing. You've also seen that the roads in the community are full of bumps. In addition, the street lights in the community are not on. You may not be familiar with the road when you first arrive. If you fall down, you will be in trouble."

This reason is extremely good, but the players don't fully believe this reason, they just hummed in response to the landlady's advice.

Soon, the landlady left on high heels.

Xia Letian and other players immediately closed the door and returned to the living room, began to discuss and analyze the game, and made plans for the next step.
