Chapter 37 All Things Grow
Half an hour later, ten players gathered in the hotel lobby on the first floor, ready to fill their stomachs first.
They sat down at a round table and exchanged information for the first time.
Uncle Chenghua summed up the clues given by everyone and said: "So the windows of our five rooms are all welded, and the windows in the corridor are also like this. I am afraid that there is not a single window in this hotel that can be ventilated." .”
The demon man Lu Xiang squeezed his throat and said, "Oh, this is really an iron bucket!"
Cheng Hua turned his eyes away uncomfortably, but also said: "This is indeed too tightly sealed."
In addition, the beds in their five rooms are all equipped with mosquito nets. The only difference is that among the five rooms, Youye Zhou Yaqing's room and the room of the twin brothers and sisters are all twin rooms, so that each room is different. There are two mosquito nets.
The decoration and service of this hotel looks like a five-star hotel, but in reality, any five-star hotel would be designed like this, which is really strange.
Gu Xing, the younger sister of the twins, whispered: "Aren't our protective props invalid in this dungeon? Could it be that the mosquito nets, like the windows, are there to protect us from something?"
The protective props were disabled in this dungeon—this was the situation they had confirmed with each other before Xia Jing logged in to the dungeon just now. Although it was special, it was not uncommon in various dungeon games.
Before going downstairs, Xia Jing had already heard about this from Song Yang, so he was not too surprised at this time.
Gu Xing tremblingly looked outside the hotel.
Night had fallen, the light outside gradually dimmed, and the forest scene gradually became blurred and unrecognizable.
Following her words, everyone's hearts were raised.
Brother Gu Chen frowned after hearing her words: "But I've never seen a copy where mosquito nets are used to protect against monsters..."
The fat man Cao Jun slapped a mosquito that bit him on his thigh to death, and complained: "That's right, I believe you said that the windows are welded to prevent monsters, but what kind of monsters can the mosquito nets prevent? I think this hotel does such a thing." The thing is purely because this place is close to the forest, there are too many mosquitoes!"
The temperature in this dungeon is very high, the body feels at least 39 degrees, and Cao Jun is fat, at least two hundred catties.
The air conditioner was clearly turned on in the hotel, but just sitting here for so long, his forehead was dripping with sweat like a stream.
The mosquitoes sniffed and coaxed them all over him.
Cao Jun wiped off his sweat, and said with a frowning face, "I will definitely pull up the mosquito net and light the mosquito coils at night, otherwise I won't have to sleep, and I'll just be a mosquito blood bag!"
Uncle Chenghua looked at the mosquito bag on his leg, nodded and said, "Indeed, you have to be more careful."
Having said that, Song Yang also reminded at the right time: "It is best to pay attention to all the unreasonable things given in the dungeon. At least for the first night of today, it is best for everyone to draw this mosquito net."
Several players agreed deeply and nodded quickly.
Only Zhou Yaqing looked reluctant.
The demon boy Lu Xiang winked at Song Yang, and said coquettishly: "Oh, we don't have any clues now, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, sister Zhou, just pull it, what's the matter?"
Xia Jing looked at Lu Box, and then looked at Song Yang meaningfully.
Song Yang glanced at him expressionlessly.
Xia Jing turned around with a calm expression on his face.
Like Cheng Hua, Zhou Yaqing obviously didn't like men like Lu Xiang. When she heard him speak, her brows almost knit together.
She said coldly: "My heart and lung function is not very good. Just staying in an unventilated room is stuffy enough, and it is even more uncomfortable to pull on the mosquito net!"
Lu Box blinked, and said again: "Isn't the mosquito net hollowed out? How could it be more uncomfortable?"
You Ye asked: "Sister Zhou, does the claustrophobic space make you anxious?"
Zhou Yaqing glanced at Lu Box in disgust, nodded and said, "It's a little bit, it's not claustrophobic, it's just a psychological effect that makes it easy to feel short of breath, but I can't change this. Anyway, we share a bed for each other. Even if you don't pull the mosquito net, it won't affect you."
You Ye naturally had no objection, she picked up the cup and took a sip of water.
At this moment, the hotel waiter brought up the food they ordered, interrupting everyone's discussion.
This hotel only serves Chinese food. When ordering food, they ordered all the stir-fried vegetables, stews, and steamed vegetables—anyway, they don’t need to spend their money in the real world. That's it.
Of course, they didn't hold out any hope for any delicacies in the dungeon, they just wanted to be full.
But I didn't expect that when the meals were served at this moment, each dish was bright in color and delicious in smell. Just looking at it and smelling it, the group of people's index fingers would move.
This was really beyond their expectations.
Cao Jun is an old gourmet, he even yelled in amazement after he tasted it: "Damn, the food in this hotel is very good!"
When everyone heard this, they swallowed their saliva and moved their chopsticks one after another.
Before moving his chopsticks, Song Yang suddenly thought of something, and asked Xia Jing in a low voice: "If you have no memory of the real world, then have you never tasted these dishes?"
Xia Jing picked up the chopsticks gracefully: "If you have encountered it in other dungeons, you will eat it, if you have not encountered it, you will not."
Song Yang turned his head and took a chopstick of fried yellow beef.
The beef is very tender and full of fresh and spicy taste. The strange thing is that Song Yang also put a small piece of green pepper into his mouth. The taste of this green pepper is much better than that of beef. It is crisp, tender and slightly spicy. After chewing and swallowing, it feels The whole person has a great appetite, and his stomach growls.
Song Yang took two bites, but still couldn't hold back, and asked again: "Then you don't eat when you leave the dungeon?"
Xia Jing raised his lips and glanced at him, as if he was asking, are you a curious baby now?
Song looked up without changing his expression.
He felt that it was normal for him to have doubts when he suddenly learned such a bizarre thing, so he was confident.
Xia Jing smiled, but still replied: "It doesn't matter if I don't need to eat."
He didn't care about what he said, but Song Yang paused.
If food intake is not essential, then I am afraid others are as well, such as sleep.
Song Yang lowered his eyes.
A person who doesn't need to sleep or eat can't really be called a human being.
Sitting beside Song Yang was Lu Chenfei.
Lu Chenfei was really curious about the relationship between Song Yang and Xia Jing. After staring at them for a long time, he directly asked, "Are you two friends?"
Song Yang stopped moving.
Xia Jing continued to pick up vegetables without changing his expression.
He ate two mouthfuls of boiled fish fillets, and heard the man beside him respond casually: "Isn't it a friend, I live with him?"
"He is your friend, so you just pretended to ask him what his name is?" Lu Chenfei looked suspicious.
The old god Song Yang responded on the ground: "I entered the same dungeon without an appointment with him. I think it's a coincidence. I'm in a good mood. Are you kidding me?"
"Heh, You Ye and I haven't made an appointment with you yet, and you're not so happy to see us." Lu Chenfei said angrily.
He, Song Yang, and You Ye met in Smiley Face City due to some coincidences, and they have known each other for a long time. This time, it was a coincidence that they got together in a dungeon.
When Lu Chenfei saw Song Yang today, he wanted to vomit blood. After all, two days ago, he said ruthlessly that he would take Song Yang's head the next time he met him. He didn't want to slap himself in the face.
You Ye joked that he slapped himself in the face not once or twice, Lu Chenfei would never admit it!
Of course, they are familiar with each other, but they have never admitted their points and rankings to each other. This is a kind of tacit understanding. In fact, they can probably guess it even if they don't say it.
Lu Chenfei dares to guarantee that Song Yang is No.1 in the player rankings, and as for You Ye, he is either the fourth or the third.
I don't know what kind of character this new friend named Xia Jing will be.
He stretched out his hand towards Xia Jing, and tugged and said: "Hi, my name is Lu Chenfei, and we are friends from today. If you see this guy upset someday, come to me, and we will deal with him together!"
Xia Jing glanced at Lu Chenfei curiously, Song Yang immediately squinted and said, "You can ignore him."
In the next second, Xia Jing curled his lips and shook hands with Lu Chenfei.
Lu Chenfei was immediately happy. He felt that Xia Jing could be a friend, so he gave Song Yang a provocative look.
Song Yang: "..."
After teasing the two of them, Xia Jing suddenly said: "The dishes made by this hotel are really delicious."
Song Yang and Lu Chenfei restrained themselves.
Xia Jing took a chopstick of fried lettuce slowly and put it into his mouth.
The lettuce is very crisp, with a warm taste, and it has a refreshing and fresh fragrance when chewed.
Not only that, the steamed choy sum is sprinkled with steamed fish soy sauce, there is no bitterness at all, and some only have a soft, glutinous and sweet taste.
The bamboo shoots in the marinated duxian are crisp and tender, with the delicious taste of bacon and ham, which makes people unable to resist chopsticks after chopsticks.
Not to mention fried pine nuts with chrysanthemum chrysanthemum, the taste is very refreshing.
……
The vegetarian dishes in this hotel are much better than the meat dishes.
The three of them, as well as You Ye who was on the side, looked at the entire dining table together.
Before they knew it, everyone else began to feast on it.
Cao Jun was sweating profusely after eating, and while hiccupping, he shook his head and exclaimed, "It's so delicious." He stuffed it desperately.
Mature as Chenghua is with her cheeks bulging, Zhou Yaqing is no longer unhappy just now, she stretches her chopsticks quickly.
This is probably the hotel with the best cuisine among all the dungeons of Smiley Face City.
Xia Jing raised his chopsticks.
This delicacy is normal.
Or is there something weird about it?
I don't know if it's luck or a pity, anyway, the group finished all the dishes in the end, and nothing happened, the only bad thing was their stomachs that were about to burst.
The hotel manager wearing a bow tie came to their table and was pleasantly surprised when he saw the empty plates: "It seems that the dishes are still to your taste!"
When several players saw this npc, they became a little wary and sat up straight in embarrassment.
They all still remembered what Song Yang said just now.
Cheng Hua cautiously nodded and said, "It's really good."
"That's good, that's good!" The hotel manager fulfilled his responsibility as an excellent service provider, and clapped his hands, "By the way, I forgot to remind you of something just now—"
"Everyone, don't go out at night. There are many wild animals in the forest. It is very dangerous at night. Please stay in your room all night."
forest, beast.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's bodies tensed up instantly.
Chenghua tentatively asked: "Excuse me, what kind of beasts will there be in the forest?"
The hotel manager narrowed his eyes with a smile, and said meaningfully: "There are the hungriest beasts you can imagine."
After leaving this sentence, the hotel manager nodded and turned to leave.
A group of people looked at each other, Cheng Hua lowered his voice and said: "It's very strange, if the focus of this dungeon is really in the forest, then why does the hotel exist? It's not just for us to have a place to live!"
These people have been through several dungeons, and they have never encountered any battles. Even if they encounter a desert dungeon, they should sleep on the sand in the open air, so they can only accept it honestly. It is impossible for Smiling Face City to treat players kindly.
But now many clues tell them that the dungeon main monster is deep in the forest, and the hotel is even protecting them.
After thinking about it, Song Yang said, "There are still too few clues. We still have some time before going to bed. Let's split up and get familiar with the hotel's terrain. We will set off into the forest tomorrow morning."
Everyone nodded quickly.
Although this hotel is big, they have ten players, and they can walk through the map very quickly in twos and twos.
It's a pity that they spent an hour walking around, but they didn't find anything special for the time being.
Except for the first floor as the hotel lobby, which serves as the rest area, customer service area, and dining area, all the spaces above the second floor are copy-pasted hotel rooms.
I don't have a clue for now, and the time is close to ten o'clock. It's a bit late, so everyone can only go back to their rooms first.
Before leaving, Song Yang said: "Please be careful tonight, if there is any situation, please contact me by mobile phone."
Back in the room, after the door was closed, Xia Jing walked to the window and looked out.
The large forest outside has turned into a black one in the night.
As the evening wind blows, only black shadows can be seen moving, resembling ghosts.
The logo light on the top of the hotel building was still on, casting a glimmer of light on the open space in front of the hotel.
Song Yang lowered the temperature of the air conditioner, the cold breath can soothe anxiety and calm people down.
He walked up to Xia Jing and thoughtfully said, "Do you think monsters will appear tonight?"
Xia Jing chuckled and asked, "Do you think monsters will waste a night?"
impossible.
Something is bound to happen tonight.
Xia Jing suddenly asked him: "Are you going to pull the mosquito net at night?"
Song Yang stared down at him and asked, "If I plan to pull, what are you going to do?"
Xia Jing pointed to the sofa chair next to him: "Then I'll sleep here tonight."
Song Yang almost laughed angrily: "I wanted to say it before, why are you so reckless when you encounter things related to monsters?"
Xia Jing turned around, raised his eyebrows and said, "We came to the dungeon to catch monsters, didn't we?"
Perhaps for other human players, their first priority is to save their lives, the second priority is to get points, and the third priority is to collect monster body pieces.
But for a player like Song Yang, these three things go hand in hand. In his dictionary, the words "run away from monsters" shouldn't exist.
"That's right," Song Yang didn't deny Xia Jing's statement, he said in a deep voice, "But catching monsters doesn't mean you have to be reckless, the dungeon clearly reminds you of information, but you don't need it, no matter how powerful it is Players have the potential to overturn."
Xia Jing was about to open his mouth, but Song Yang said, "I know you want to say that you won't die, but do you really have to take your body so seriously?"
Xia Jing closed his mouth, he raised his eyebrows and stared at Song Yang.
Song Yang did not back down either.
He lowered his eyes, remained silent for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "In the copy of "Death Ringing"... did it hurt at the end?"
Xia Jing paused.
The air in the room fell into an eerie silence.
Song Yang didn't say it before.
In fact, the first time he saw Xia Jing in this dungeon, the first question he wanted to ask was not "what the hell are you", but this sentence.
It's just that sometimes looking at this guy, Song Yang always feels that there are some questions that he can't ask.
Because this guy is too calm and breezy, many questions want to know what his answer will be.
Sure enough, at this moment, after the silence, Xia Jing only said, "It's okay."
Song Yang twitched the corners of his lips, knowing it would be like this.
This guy doesn't have to eat or sleep, and still feel pain like a normal person?Even if he could really feel that the monster was in front, this guy probably didn't care about anything else at all.
So Song Yang wanted to put it another way, if it doesn't hurt, it will always be uncomfortable, anyway, it won't be very comfortable, right?
As long as you feel a little uncomfortable, don't be so reckless in the future.
You guys are so smart, if you put on an extra protective shell and wait a little longer, are you afraid that you won't be able to snatch the head of the monster?
Unexpectedly, after Xia Jing answered his question, he asked thoughtfully, "Are you afraid that I will feel pain?"
Song Yang was taken aback for a moment, and his expression became subtle: "I'm afraid...it's not—"
He met Shang Xia Jing's black and white eyes, and for some reason, his words got stuck there.
After a pause, he said softly: "Normal humans are afraid of pain if they have not lost their sense of pain. Although you think you are neither a human nor a monster, I still want to treat you as a human being."
Xia Jing stared at him for a while, then looked away.
Under the night, the young man seemed to think about it seriously.
Just when Song Yang thought he didn't intend to continue this topic, he opened his lips and said softly: "...Then, it still hurts a bit."
Song Yang was slightly taken aback.
Xia Jing muttered in ecstasy: "There is indeed a little bit."
A slight ending sound fell in the night, like a feather brushing Song Yang's heart.
And at the same time, there was an abrupt, slight "click".
As soon as the two moved, they turned their heads quickly, stood up straight and looked at the door.
The sound comes from there.
Looking at each other, they walked to the door tacitly one after the other.
The foot stepped on the hotel carpet without making any sound.
Song Yang approached the door, but could not hear any sound from outside.
His eyes fell on the crack of the door on the ground—there was no shadow, and the people outside the door must have left.
Maybe it left the corridor, maybe it moved to the door of the next room.
Xia Jing held down the doorknob, pressed down lightly, and pulled.
With a faint "bang", the door did not open.
It was locked from the outside.
Someone locked them up in a hotel room.
It was ten o'clock in the evening, Song Yang's and Xia Jing's mobile phones vibrated at the same time, they opened the WeChat group temporarily formed by ten players, and sure enough, everyone found that their doors were locked.
People who would lock them up don't do what he wants.
"It should be someone from the hotel." Song Yang said.
Welded windows, hung mosquito nets, and locked their doors before going to bed.
This hotel has forcibly defended its customers to such an extent, what is the monster that may appear at night?
Xia Jing walked to the window again.
This time, the logo light on the outer wall of the hotel was also turned off, and it was pitch black outside, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
He could only feel the black shadows moving around slightly.
Maybe it's still trees and bushes swaying in the wind, maybe it's something else.
Or maybe it's just an illusion that people are suspicious of in fear.
Song Yang thought for a moment and said, "Go to sleep. Listen to me tonight and put on the mosquito net first, okay?"
Xia Jing turned around and tilted his head. This time, he said, "All right."
In theory, if you really want to guard against monsters, it would be a good choice to turn on the lights in the dungeon at night.
It is true that monsters are not beasts, and they will not dare to approach players because they are wary of light, but in the same situation, some players turn on the lights and some players turn off the lights, even monsters know who to go to first.
Therefore, tonight, there must be a few of the five rooms that will be lit all night.
But in order not to offend Xia Jing, Song Yang still turned off the light.
In the end, he wasn't afraid that monsters would come to his door, but he just wanted to make better use of the dungeon information before doing it.
After pulling up the mosquito net, the space seemed to be much smaller all of a sudden.
There was a layer of gauze in the field of vision, and everything became a little blurry.
Song Yang and Xia Jing lay flat on the bed, Song Yang slept near the door, and Xia Jing slept by the window.
Both eyes were open, speechless for a moment.
Xia Jing suddenly asked: "Why didn't you pick up the monster's body in the last dungeon?"
Song Yang was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Xia Jing to ask this suddenly.
He said frankly: "I didn't expect you to die, I'm not in the mood."
In the darkness, Xia Jing looked at him with very delicate eyes.
Song Yang tasted this look, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "Are you thinking that if I die, you won't be in the mood to pick up monsters?"
Xia Jing said innocently, "I haven't."
Song Yang: Hehe, only ghosts believe it.
Song Yang asked suspiciously: "You are picking up these things desperately to enter the safe house? Speaking of which, you can break into other people's dungeons directly, so why do you have to play a dungeon from the beginning like us?"
But he quickly thought of the answer: "For points?"
"If you accumulate [-] points, can you leave this place like us?" Song Yang thought to himself.
No, this guy spent all his points every time he left the instance, so he got points purely for consumption.
Xia Jing turned his back to Song Yang, pursed his lips and said, "You are very smart, you can think slowly, I'll go to sleep first."
Song Yang: "..." Heh, he was out of breath.
He rubbed Xia Jing's head and said, "Sleep well, sleeping is a very comfortable thing."
Just like the food.
Humans are creatures that turn away from all pain and devote themselves to pleasure.
This is the instinct to survive and enjoy life.
In the darkness, Xia Jing looked at the void for a while, then slowly closed his eyes.
The small room fell into the silence of the night.
The whole hotel seems to have entered a sweet dreamland.
……
I do not know how long it has been.
Outside the window, there are no stars or moon in the night sky, and the shadows of trees in the forest are shaking.
As long as the wind blows, it seems to be able to hear the hazy sound from nature through a window.
rustling.
rustling.
It was the sound of the leaves shaking in the air with the branches.
It was the sound of leaves rubbing against each other.
That was the sound of something crawling fast in the dark.
……
At a certain moment, Xia Jing suddenly opened his eyes in the darkness.
His posture remained the same, his back was always facing Song Yang, and he was facing the window.
Behind him, Song Yang was breathing lightly, apparently also awake.
And the moment Xia Jing opened his eyes, outside the window, a black, skinny hand collapsed like fog, fell down, and quickly disappeared on the edge of the window frame.
So fast it's like an illusion.
The floor they are on is the fifth floor.
A second later, the two got out of bed quietly and walked to the window for the third time tonight.
The windows were tightly sealed, and from their perspective they couldn't see the exterior walls of the hotel that were on the same plane as the windows.
In the darkness, I couldn't see anything clearly outside the hotel, and the time had reached the darkest moment of the night.
The two watched from left to right for a while, and Song Yang said softly, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Summer spots head.
Unlike when it was locked, the hotel lock was obviously removed silently. At 05:30 the next morning, Song Yang tried to open the door, only to find that the lock outside the door had been removed long ago.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the rest of the people woke up one after another.
At that time, they learned that——
Cao Jun disappeared.
They sat down at a round table and exchanged information for the first time.
Uncle Chenghua summed up the clues given by everyone and said: "So the windows of our five rooms are all welded, and the windows in the corridor are also like this. I am afraid that there is not a single window in this hotel that can be ventilated." .”
The demon man Lu Xiang squeezed his throat and said, "Oh, this is really an iron bucket!"
Cheng Hua turned his eyes away uncomfortably, but also said: "This is indeed too tightly sealed."
In addition, the beds in their five rooms are all equipped with mosquito nets. The only difference is that among the five rooms, Youye Zhou Yaqing's room and the room of the twin brothers and sisters are all twin rooms, so that each room is different. There are two mosquito nets.

Cao Jun wiped off his sweat, and said with a frowning face, "I will definitely pull up the mosquito net and light the mosquito coils at night, otherwise I won't have to sleep, and I'll just be a mosquito blood bag!"
Uncle Chenghua looked at the mosquito bag on his leg, nodded and said, "Indeed, you have to be more careful."
Having said that, Song Yang also reminded at the right time: "It is best to pay attention to all the unreasonable things given in the dungeon. At least for the first night of today, it is best for everyone to draw this mosquito net."
Several players agreed deeply and nodded quickly.
Only Zhou Yaqing looked reluctant.
The demon boy Lu Xiang winked at Song Yang, and said coquettishly: "Oh, we don't have any clues now, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, sister Zhou, just pull it, what's the matter?"
Xia Jing looked at Lu Box, and then looked at Song Yang meaningfully.
Song Yang glanced at him expressionlessly.
Xia Jing turned around with a calm expression on his face.

The lettuce is very crisp, with a warm taste, and it has a refreshing and fresh fragrance when chewed.
Not only that, the steamed choy sum is sprinkled with steamed fish soy sauce, there is no bitterness at all, and some only have a soft, glutinous and sweet taste.
The bamboo shoots in the marinated duxian are crisp and tender, with the delicious taste of bacon and ham, which makes people unable to resist chopsticks after chopsticks.
Not to mention fried pine nuts with chrysanthemum chrysanthemum, the taste is very refreshing.
……
The vegetarian dishes in this hotel are much better than the meat dishes.
The three of them, as well as You Ye who was on the side, looked at the entire dining table together.
Before they knew it, everyone else began to feast on it.
Cao Jun was sweating profusely after eating, and while hiccupping, he shook his head and exclaimed, "It's so delicious." He stuffed it desperately.
Mature as Chenghua is with her cheeks bulging, Zhou Yaqing is no longer unhappy just now, she stretches her chopsticks quickly.
This is probably the hotel with the best cuisine among all the dungeons of Smiley Face City.
Xia Jing raised his chopsticks.
This delicacy is normal.
Or is there something weird about it?
I don't know if it's luck or a pity, anyway, the group finished all the dishes in the end, and nothing happened, the only bad thing was their stomachs that were about to burst.
The hotel manager wearing a bow tie came to their table and was pleasantly surprised when he saw the empty plates: "It seems that the dishes are still to your taste!"
When several players saw this npc, they became a little wary and sat up straight in embarrassment.
They all still remembered what Song Yang said just now.
Cheng Hua cautiously nodded and said, "It's really good."
"That's good, that's good!" The hotel manager fulfilled his responsibility as an excellent service provider, and clapped his hands, "By the way, I forgot to remind you of something just now—"
"Everyone, don't go out at night. There are many wild animals in the forest. It is very dangerous at night. Please stay in your room all night."
forest, beast.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's bodies tensed up instantly.
Chenghua tentatively asked: "Excuse me, what kind of beasts will there be in the forest?"
The hotel manager narrowed his eyes with a smile, and said meaningfully: "There are the hungriest beasts you can imagine."
After leaving this sentence, the hotel manager nodded and turned to leave.
A group of people looked at each other, Cheng Hua lowered his voice and said: "It's very strange, if the focus of this dungeon is really in the forest, then why does the hotel exist? It's not just for us to have a place to live!"
These people have been through several dungeons, and they have never encountered any battles. Even if they encounter a desert dungeon, they should sleep on the sand in the open air, so they can only accept it honestly. It is impossible for Smiling Face City to treat players kindly.
But now many clues tell them that the dungeon main monster is deep in the forest, and the hotel is even protecting them.
After thinking about it, Song Yang said, "There are still too few clues. We still have some time before going to bed. Let's split up and get familiar with the hotel's terrain. We will set off into the forest tomorrow morning."
Everyone nodded quickly.
Although this hotel is big, they have ten players, and they can walk through the map very quickly in twos and twos.
It's a pity that they spent an hour walking around, but they didn't find anything special for the time being.
Except for the first floor as the hotel lobby, which serves as the rest area, customer service area, and dining area, all the spaces above the second floor are copy-pasted hotel rooms.
I don't have a clue for now, and the time is close to ten o'clock. It's a bit late, so everyone can only go back to their rooms first.
Before leaving, Song Yang said: "Please be careful tonight, if there is any situation, please contact me by mobile phone."
Back in the room, after the door was closed, Xia Jing walked to the window and looked out.
The large forest outside has turned into a black one in the night.
As the evening wind blows, only black shadows can be seen moving, resembling ghosts.
The logo light on the top of the hotel building was still on, casting a glimmer of light on the open space in front of the hotel.
Song Yang lowered the temperature of the air conditioner, the cold breath can soothe anxiety and calm people down.
He walked up to Xia Jing and thoughtfully said, "Do you think monsters will appear tonight?"
Xia Jing chuckled and asked, "Do you think monsters will waste a night?"
impossible.
Something is bound to happen tonight.
Xia Jing suddenly asked him: "Are you going to pull the mosquito net at night?"
Song Yang stared down at him and asked, "If I plan to pull, what are you going to do?"
Xia Jing pointed to the sofa chair next to him: "Then I'll sleep here tonight."
Song Yang almost laughed angrily: "I wanted to say it before, why are you so reckless when you encounter things related to monsters?"
Xia Jing turned around, raised his eyebrows and said, "We came to the dungeon to catch monsters, didn't we?"
Perhaps for other human players, their first priority is to save their lives, the second priority is to get points, and the third priority is to collect monster body pieces.
But for a player like Song Yang, these three things go hand in hand. In his dictionary, the words "run away from monsters" shouldn't exist.
"That's right," Song Yang didn't deny Xia Jing's statement, he said in a deep voice, "But catching monsters doesn't mean you have to be reckless, the dungeon clearly reminds you of information, but you don't need it, no matter how powerful it is Players have the potential to overturn."
Xia Jing was about to open his mouth, but Song Yang said, "I know you want to say that you won't die, but do you really have to take your body so seriously?"
Xia Jing closed his mouth, he raised his eyebrows and stared at Song Yang.
Song Yang did not back down either.
He lowered his eyes, remained silent for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "In the copy of "Death Ringing"... did it hurt at the end?"
Xia Jing paused.
The air in the room fell into an eerie silence.
Song Yang didn't say it before.
In fact, the first time he saw Xia Jing in this dungeon, the first question he wanted to ask was not "what the hell are you", but this sentence.
It's just that sometimes looking at this guy, Song Yang always feels that there are some questions that he can't ask.
Because this guy is too calm and breezy, many questions want to know what his answer will be.
Sure enough, at this moment, after the silence, Xia Jing only said, "It's okay."
Song Yang twitched the corners of his lips, knowing it would be like this.
This guy doesn't have to eat or sleep, and still feel pain like a normal person?Even if he could really feel that the monster was in front, this guy probably didn't care about anything else at all.
So Song Yang wanted to put it another way, if it doesn't hurt, it will always be uncomfortable, anyway, it won't be very comfortable, right?
As long as you feel a little uncomfortable, don't be so reckless in the future.
You guys are so smart, if you put on an extra protective shell and wait a little longer, are you afraid that you won't be able to snatch the head of the monster?
Unexpectedly, after Xia Jing answered his question, he asked thoughtfully, "Are you afraid that I will feel pain?"
Song Yang was taken aback for a moment, and his expression became subtle: "I'm afraid...it's not—"
He met Shang Xia Jing's black and white eyes, and for some reason, his words got stuck there.
After a pause, he said softly: "Normal humans are afraid of pain if they have not lost their sense of pain. Although you think you are neither a human nor a monster, I still want to treat you as a human being."
Xia Jing stared at him for a while, then looked away.
Under the night, the young man seemed to think about it seriously.
Just when Song Yang thought he didn't intend to continue this topic, he opened his lips and said softly: "...Then, it still hurts a bit."
Song Yang was slightly taken aback.
Xia Jing muttered in ecstasy: "There is indeed a little bit."
A slight ending sound fell in the night, like a feather brushing Song Yang's heart.
And at the same time, there was an abrupt, slight "click".
As soon as the two moved, they turned their heads quickly, stood up straight and looked at the door.
The sound comes from there.
Looking at each other, they walked to the door tacitly one after the other.
The foot stepped on the hotel carpet without making any sound.
Song Yang approached the door, but could not hear any sound from outside.
His eyes fell on the crack of the door on the ground—there was no shadow, and the people outside the door must have left.
Maybe it left the corridor, maybe it moved to the door of the next room.
Xia Jing held down the doorknob, pressed down lightly, and pulled.
With a faint "bang", the door did not open.
It was locked from the outside.
Someone locked them up in a hotel room.
It was ten o'clock in the evening, Song Yang's and Xia Jing's mobile phones vibrated at the same time, they opened the WeChat group temporarily formed by ten players, and sure enough, everyone found that their doors were locked.
People who would lock them up don't do what he wants.
"It should be someone from the hotel." Song Yang said.
Welded windows, hung mosquito nets, and locked their doors before going to bed.
This hotel has forcibly defended its customers to such an extent, what is the monster that may appear at night?
Xia Jing walked to the window again.
This time, the logo light on the outer wall of the hotel was also turned off, and it was pitch black outside, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
He could only feel the black shadows moving around slightly.
Maybe it's still trees and bushes swaying in the wind, maybe it's something else.
Or maybe it's just an illusion that people are suspicious of in fear.
Song Yang thought for a moment and said, "Go to sleep. Listen to me tonight and put on the mosquito net first, okay?"
Xia Jing turned around and tilted his head. This time, he said, "All right."
In theory, if you really want to guard against monsters, it would be a good choice to turn on the lights in the dungeon at night.
It is true that monsters are not beasts, and they will not dare to approach players because they are wary of light, but in the same situation, some players turn on the lights and some players turn off the lights, even monsters know who to go to first.
Therefore, tonight, there must be a few of the five rooms that will be lit all night.
But in order not to offend Xia Jing, Song Yang still turned off the light.
In the end, he wasn't afraid that monsters would come to his door, but he just wanted to make better use of the dungeon information before doing it.
After pulling up the mosquito net, the space seemed to be much smaller all of a sudden.
There was a layer of gauze in the field of vision, and everything became a little blurry.
Song Yang and Xia Jing lay flat on the bed, Song Yang slept near the door, and Xia Jing slept by the window.
Both eyes were open, speechless for a moment.
Xia Jing suddenly asked: "Why didn't you pick up the monster's body in the last dungeon?"
Song Yang was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Xia Jing to ask this suddenly.
He said frankly: "I didn't expect you to die, I'm not in the mood."
In the darkness, Xia Jing looked at him with very delicate eyes.
Song Yang tasted this look, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "Are you thinking that if I die, you won't be in the mood to pick up monsters?"
Xia Jing said innocently, "I haven't."
Song Yang: Hehe, only ghosts believe it.
Song Yang asked suspiciously: "You are picking up these things desperately to enter the safe house? Speaking of which, you can break into other people's dungeons directly, so why do you have to play a dungeon from the beginning like us?"
But he quickly thought of the answer: "For points?"
"If you accumulate [-] points, can you leave this place like us?" Song Yang thought to himself.
No, this guy spent all his points every time he left the instance, so he got points purely for consumption.
Xia Jing turned his back to Song Yang, pursed his lips and said, "You are very smart, you can think slowly, I'll go to sleep first."
Song Yang: "..." Heh, he was out of breath.
He rubbed Xia Jing's head and said, "Sleep well, sleeping is a very comfortable thing."
Just like the food.
Humans are creatures that turn away from all pain and devote themselves to pleasure.
This is the instinct to survive and enjoy life.
In the darkness, Xia Jing looked at the void for a while, then slowly closed his eyes.
The small room fell into the silence of the night.
The whole hotel seems to have entered a sweet dreamland.
……
I do not know how long it has been.
Outside the window, there are no stars or moon in the night sky, and the shadows of trees in the forest are shaking.
As long as the wind blows, it seems to be able to hear the hazy sound from nature through a window.
rustling.
rustling.
It was the sound of the leaves shaking in the air with the branches.
It was the sound of leaves rubbing against each other.
That was the sound of something crawling fast in the dark.
……
At a certain moment, Xia Jing suddenly opened his eyes in the darkness.
His posture remained the same, his back was always facing Song Yang, and he was facing the window.
Behind him, Song Yang was breathing lightly, apparently also awake.
And the moment Xia Jing opened his eyes, outside the window, a black, skinny hand collapsed like fog, fell down, and quickly disappeared on the edge of the window frame.
So fast it's like an illusion.
The floor they are on is the fifth floor.
A second later, the two got out of bed quietly and walked to the window for the third time tonight.
The windows were tightly sealed, and from their perspective they couldn't see the exterior walls of the hotel that were on the same plane as the windows.
In the darkness, I couldn't see anything clearly outside the hotel, and the time had reached the darkest moment of the night.
The two watched from left to right for a while, and Song Yang said softly, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Summer spots head.
Unlike when it was locked, the hotel lock was obviously removed silently. At 05:30 the next morning, Song Yang tried to open the door, only to find that the lock outside the door had been removed long ago.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the rest of the people woke up one after another.
At that time, they learned that——
Cao Jun disappeared.
