I'm running a safe house in unlimited streaming

Cheng Hua, who shared the same room as Cao Jun, found that the seat next to him was empty when he woke up in the morning.

He thought Cao Jun got up early to wash up in the toilet, but the toilet was empty.

Cheng Hua didn't realize that something was wrong until he called Cao Jun's cell phone and was reminded that the phone had been turned off.

At this moment, he was in a state of panic and bewilderment: "I have gone downstairs to look for him just now, I have looked for him on every floor up and down, but I couldn't find him!"

Cao Jun just disappeared.

Nine people were stuck in their room, and Chenghua's forehead was covered with sweat: "I slept too deeply last night, and I didn't realize when he disappeared. What should I do now? Could something happen to him?"

The twin sister, Gu Xing, stood at the door and did not dare to come in. She covered her mouth, her face was pale, while her elder brother, Gu Chen, looked solemn.

The faces of Zhou Yaqing and Lu Xiang were also a bit ugly, Zhou Yaqing tremblingly said: "How can a person disappear, something must have happened to him, this is what the monster did! But you are in the same room, why did the monster only take him away?" didn't take you?"

Cheng Hua froze: "I-I don't know about this..."

Song Yang, Xia Jing, Lu Chenfei and You Ye walked into their room, and the four of them checked separately, but found nothing worth noting.

The half of the bed where Cao Jun slept was very clean, and there were still traces of wrinkles from the person who had been lying on it last night.

But such a big person just disappeared out of thin air.

Xia Jing turned sideways and asked, "Did you turn on the lights yesterday?"

Cheng Hua was stunned, and nodded quickly: "It's on! Because we thought that even if the monster really came to the door in the middle of the night, we would have a clearer view with the lights on, which is easier to deal with!"

Speaking of this, Chenghua became annoyed again: "I was still chatting with Xiao Cao at the beginning of last night. At that time, I kept paying attention to the movement in and out of the room, and felt that I could not fall asleep all night. I fell asleep while chatting, and slept until dawn, it’s all my fault, if only I could stay awake all the time!”

"So why did the monster take away only one person?" Lu Xiangjiao said, "Uncle, did you really not find that Xiao Cao Cao was taken away? Logically speaking, Xiao Cao Cao will definitely struggle when encountering a monster." , such a big movement can’t even wake up!”

There is some truth to this statement, and several suspicious eyes immediately cast their eyes on Chenghua.

Cheng Hua was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage: "You want to say that I did not save Cao Jun and deliberately fed him to a monster?! How could I do such a thing to my companion? Don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence!"

Lu Box covered his mouth and blinked his eyes: "Oh, what are you doing, he's just talking casually, it's so scary!"

Cheng Hua: "You—"

Song Yang glanced at Xia Jing sensitively at this moment, and as expected, he saw the regret of "I knew I would have turned on the light last night" from the young man's face, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Why on earth did he know this little monster so well.

Noticing his gaze, Xia Jing cast a rather innocent look.

Song Yang: "..." Okay, I got it, you didn't think about it.

Song Yang straightened up helplessly, and stopped searching for clues, and suddenly asked a question: "Didn't you see anything outside the window last night?"

These few people seemed to have no intention of mentioning the monster outside the window in the middle of the night last night.

Sure enough, when they heard Song Yang's words, the others were taken aback: "What is that outside the window?"

Even Lu Chenfei and You Ye cast searching gazes.

You Ye said: "Last night I was awake and waited for a long time, and nothing happened, so I just went to sleep. Did you and Xia Jing encounter anything?"

Song Yang nodded, and said calmly: "Yesterday, there was a suspected monster's hand outside the window of Xia Jing and I's room. It was around 02:30 in the middle of the night. Ran away."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the others changed.

Song Yang cast his eyes on the window of Cheng Hua's room: "Uncle Cheng's window is intact, and it is theoretically impossible for monsters to come in."

However, it is impossible for Cao Jun to disappear for no reason.

Zhou Yaqing opened his mouth, and asked nervously: "Then, could the monster come in from other places... such as the main door of the room, or could it be a fluid that can get in through the crack in the door?"

Gu Xing weakly reminded: "If it's fluid, then no matter how the hotel locks the door and puts on the mosquito net, it's useless."

Zhou Yaqing reacted: "That's right."

The hotel gave these defensive measures, no matter how you think about it, the monster cannot be fluid.

In this way, the windows and doors were closed yesterday, and it was indeed impossible for monsters to break into Chenghua's room.

But in the next second, Xia Jing suddenly said: "The door can be locked from the outside, and naturally it can also be opened from the outside."

The young man's voice was clear and clear, and everyone was startled.

Gu Xing opened his eyes wide, scared and puzzled and said: "But even if the monster can open the lock on the outside, there is still a lock on the inside of the door!"

The lock that comes with the hotel door cannot be easily opened by outsiders, can it?

Unless they rely on brute force or collision, but if they really broke in by force, then the door of Chenghua's room should be broken, and all of them would wake up after such a big commotion in the middle of the night last night!

Xia Jing turned around and looked at the crowd.

The human skin mask on the young man's face looked very funny, and his tone was gentle and calm, but the words he said instantly made the rest of the people shudder:

"The hotel should have spare key cards for each room."

They all changed color.

...a spare key card!

At this moment, they finally realized what Xia Jing meant, and a chill suddenly rose from the soles of their feet.

By the way, before they took it for granted that the people in the hotel locked the door for them from the outside to ensure that they would not go out, as long as they did not go out at night, they would not encounter monsters.

But if there is such a possibility... If the monster can get into the hotel, it can not only easily open the lock outside their door, but also open the door of their room...

——Then the hotel and the monster are not the same, those npcs basically locked the prey in the hotel for the monster? !

Thinking of this possibility, the faces of a group of people turned green and white, and cold sweat broke out on their backs.

Song Yang thought for a moment, then said, "Let's find the hotel manager first. As long as Cao Jun didn't disappear directly in the room, then he was taken out, and there should be surveillance records in the hotel corridor."

Zhou Yaqing said in horror: "If the hotel and the monster are together, will the hotel cooperate with us like this?"

Only now did Xia Jing innocently say, "What I just said was just a guess."

Song Yang nodded and said, "So we have to try it out to know the truth."

After finishing speaking, the group went to the hotel manager.

After searching, it turned out that this person was on the fourth floor, and was supervising a logistics worker to replace a broken glass window at the end of the corridor.

Seeing this npc again at this moment, Zhou Yaqing and the others were too wary to approach.

The hotel manager turned his back to them, with his hands on his hips, blowing his beard and staring with anger: "How could the batch of glass you brought in be blown up immediately? Is there a quality problem?!"

The logistics squatted on the ground to install new windows, muttering: "This kind of glass will explode sometimes, what does it have to do with the quality..."

The hotel manager was furious: "I don't know when this window exploded yesterday. Do you know how dangerous the forest outside will be at night! Wild beasts will come in from outside, how can the safety of the guests be guaranteed?!"

Not far away, the players stopped when they heard this.

It doesn't sound like the hotel is an accomplice of the monster, but...

Zhou Yaqing lowered his voice and said sharply: "The monster probably came in from here last night and took away Cao Jun!"

Several players tensed up and nodded secretly in agreement.

Zhou Yaqing's voice still caught the attention of the hotel manager.

The man with the mustache turned around, and when he saw them, he put on a smiling face and said courteously, "Hey, good morning everyone, did you sleep well last night?"

Song Yang walked over and said bluntly: "One of our partners seems to be missing, can you please check the surveillance records from your hotel?"

The hotel manager was surprised: "Your partner is missing? Wait, are you talking about Mr. Cao?"

Everyone was surprised.

They haven't even told the mustache which partner is missing!

But then, the man with the mustache looked very surprised, and continued: "How could he be missing!"

"After we unlocked the door of everyone's room at five o'clock in the morning, didn't Mr. Cao leave the hotel and go to the forest soon? Did you have any misunderstanding?"

The hotel manager asked seriously.

The answer surprised everyone.

Xia Jing and Song Yang narrowed their eyes.

Chenghua was surprised and murmured: "So he went into the forest alone...?"

Song Yang said calmly: "How could he choose to enter the forest alone?"

In a word, like a basin of cold water, he became sober in an instant.

……Yup.

Would any of them dare to go into the forest alone?

Don't mention the question of whether you dare or not, it is not necessary at all.

Is Cao Jun in such a hurry? Even if he is really in a hurry to get rid of the monsters and leave the dungeon, he can wake them up and let everyone go together.

There are unknown dangers in the forest, and players who go in alone are looking for death.

So Cao Jun's behavior of leaving the hotel alone is not normal at all, which is even weirder than "being taken away by a monster".

Was the hotel manager telling the truth or a lie?

At this moment, all the players looked different, and they instinctively looked at Song Yang.

Xia Jing then glanced at the man beside him, and raised his lips.

The man seemed to end up being the backbone wherever he went.

In addition to calmness and quick thinking, a tall person and a good face may also be a factor.

After all, humans are visual creatures.

Xia Jing looked Song Yang up and down, a little interested.

Song Yang looked at the hotel manager and said calmly, "No matter what, please show us the monitoring records."

The mustache manager did not refuse, he smiled and said: "Of course, it is our aim to satisfy every customer!"

The monitoring room is at the corner of the lobby on the first floor.

Xiao Huzi asked the staff to search for relevant surveillance records for Song Yang and the others, and Lu Chenfei was bluntly arguing with Xiao Huzi why he locked their door without telling them.

It's pointless to argue with npcs about this kind of thing, but Lu Chenfei just wanted to ask because he was upset.

The mustache apologized: "Because something happened before, some guests didn't listen to our advice, went into the forest at night, and then disappeared."

Xia Jing was listening, then turned his head and asked, "Is there no danger in the forest during the day?"

Mustache replied with a smile: "Yes, that's right, beasts only come and go at night."

Xia Jing turned around.

In theory, Cao Jun shouldn't have any trouble entering the daytime forest.

But only, in theory.

At this moment, the hotel staff found the relevant surveillance records and showed them to them. Ten people gathered together.

The first surveillance record was in the corridor on the fifth floor, and they could clearly see the door of Chenghua Cao Jun's room.

At [-]:[-], as Mustache said, there was no additional lock outside the door to imprison them.

The door was opened from the inside, Cao Jun bowed his head and walked out.

The second surveillance record was at the hotel gate. At [-]:[-], Cao Jun's obese back appeared in everyone's view.

He walked slowly into the forest and quickly disappeared.

——What the mustache said turned out to be true, and Cao Jun really took the initiative to go to the forest early in the morning!

Several players were stunned.

Song Yang and Xia Jing watched these two surveillance records several times.

The two surveillance records themselves were not clear enough. Coupled with the angle problem and Cao Jun's lowered head, they couldn't see the expression on his face, and couldn't guess what he was thinking at all.

The only thing they could be sure of was that Cao Jun left the hotel empty-handed without having breakfast early in the morning.

He is very calm, his steps are not slow, and his back before entering the forest does not hesitate.

Gu Xing touched his arm, feeling goosebumps all the time.

She whispered: "Brother..."

Gu Chen hugged her and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, although it's a bit strange, at least it wasn't a monster who took him away."

... But after saying this, Gu Chen himself swallowed.

Is this really good news?

A few people just felt that the situation was indescribably weird, and they were speechless for a while.

After leaving the monitoring room, everyone was silent for a while.

Lu Chenfei raised a possibility: "Could it be that the monsters in this dungeon can't eat people directly, and have to lure people to the forest?"

Zhou Yaqing quickly said: "Yes, there is such a possibility!"

"If the monster needs to lure people into the forest, it at least means that the monster cannot leave the forest," Xia Jing said slowly, "Then what Song Yang and I saw lying on the outer wall of the hotel last night is Deputy monster."

But this is just an unfounded guess, Lu Chenfei scratched his head.

You Ye asked: "Are you sure what you saw last night was a human hand?"

Song Yang: "It can only be said that it looks like human hands."

Xia Jing thought for a while: "Actually, it's a bit like a dry branch."

The two looked at each other.

You Ye's beautiful eyes turned: "So you are actually not sure what that thing is."

Song Yang took a deep breath and said, "Let's go to the forest and have a look, the answer should be there."

At eight o'clock in the morning, the sun has risen to the sky, and the temperature has risen sharply.

The group had a little breakfast, took some water and walked into the forest.

They walked in according to the location where Cao Jun entered the forest according to the surveillance records.

It is no different from other places in the forest, it is full of lush greenery, and there is no path left for people to walk normally.

They rub shoulders with trees and bushes, and from time to time, mosquitoes come towards their faces, and if they are not careful, a big swelling will appear somewhere on their bodies.

In such an environment, even people without allergies will feel itchy all over their bodies. Coupled with the sweltering weather, some of them can't stand it after only walking two or 300 meters.

Lu Xiang fell at the end of the line and kept complaining: "It's so hot, it's really too hot!"

Cheng Hua didn't feel comfortable walking, and he became even more irritable when he heard his voice: "Can you stop complaining, do you think you are really here to travel?!"

Xia Jing and Song Yang walked in the front.

They looked ahead, and as far as their eyes could see, as far as three or four hundred meters away, there were nothing but trees.

Not to mention Cao Jun's figure, they didn't even find Cao Jun's footprints.

Xia Jing stopped and rubbed the dirt with his feet.

Song Yang walked up to him and asked in a low voice, "How do you say it?"

Xia Jingdao: "The soil here is not dry. If someone walks by, even if they can't leave complete footprints, there should be some traces."

For example, they are now.

Looking back at their path, there are chaotic footprints on the soil.

But in front of them, there is really no trace of people walking by.

It has only been a few hours since Cao Jun left the hotel, and it has never rained in the dungeon, so the footprints cannot be covered up.

"Could it be that I found the wrong entrance, Cao Jun didn't come in here at all?" Lu Chenfei said after catching up with them, wiping off his sweat.

"Impossible." You Ye crossed his arms, raised his chin, and signaled him to look at the road. "There was a cluster of red flowers where we came in. I remember very clearly that Cao Jun came in from here in the surveillance."

You Ye looks like a lazy cat, but observes carefully.

She parted her red lips slightly, and said: "And in the surveillance, Cao Jun walked straight into the forest, at least 20 meters away, maybe he will turn around after 20 meters, but I have been observing our surroundings, where is it?" No footprints were found."

"Cao Junren should be quite heavy, why didn't he leave even a footprint?" Lu Chenfei subconsciously said, "Could it have floated in?"

Lu Box at the back of the line screamed, "Stop telling scary stories, Xiao Feifei!"

Lu Chenfei: "..."

Calling me Xiao Feifei is more like a horror story, okay?

Song Yang glanced at him sideways: "In the surveillance, he walked into the forest with two feet on the ground. Why, do you think he started flying as soon as he entered the forest?"

Xia Jing raised his head and made a joke: "What is this, elf?"

You Ye laughed "puchi".

Lu Chenfei: "..."

Shit, is he just thinking about it? !

Lu Chenfei wiped his face with resentment.

After that, they went on for about 900 meters, but still found nothing.

At that time, the entire forest seemed to have entered a steamer, and they even seemed to be able to see the steam evaporated from the leaves of the trees.

It is difficult for the human body to withstand such a high temperature, and the physical strength is rapidly exhausted.

Lu Box had already started to wail: "I didn't have enough to eat this morning, I'm really hungry now, aren't you hungry?"

Gu Xing didn't want to cause trouble for everyone before, so he didn't say it all the time, and now he couldn't help but said in embarrassment: "Actually, I'm a little hungry too."

Cheng Hua asked anxiously, "Where did Cao Jun go?"

Zhou Yaqing said in a low voice: "I think the person is probably gone."

As soon as these words came out, several people fell silent.

In fact, they also know that no matter whether they are active or passive, players who behave strangely in the dungeon will not end well in the end.

After a while, Song Yang said, "Turn back to the hotel first."

When it was time for lunch, Lu Xiang and Gu Xing had already devoured their food, and Gu Chen kept telling his sister to eat more slowly.

Song Yang said while eating: "This forest is too big, it's not feasible to go in without a goal."

He thought about it: "I don't know if the top floor of this hotel can see the whole forest clearly."

Xia Jing took a chopstick of seaweed and tasted it carefully, and reminded him: "Our room is already on the fifth floor, but we still can't see the whole forest."

Song Yang frowned.

That's right.

The trees in this forest grew very tall. When they looked out from the fifth floor, they could indeed see the forest stretching to endless distance, but they couldn't really see the whole forest.

If you want to see clearly, you must at least have an angle high enough to overlook the forest.

Lu Chenfei wiped his mouth and said: "I do have props that can be used, and that prop can be blown into a fat man in one breath. I have a total of two on hand. This prop can be blown to a height of 100 meters, like a balloon. Share with my five senses, let me try it after eating."

Song Yang: "OK."

The rest of the people seemed to have no energy to participate in this discussion anymore, Song Yang and the four of them would do whatever they said.

Right now they were only focused on eating, and when the food was gone, Gu Chen ran to the back kitchen to fill it up.

When he came back, he was holding a big bowl full of rice in his hand, but his expression was a little absent-minded.

Zhou Yaqing got up to add food, and just sat down, she slapped her calf, killing a mosquito.

She said irritably, "Tonight I think I should just put on the mosquito net. There are too many mosquitoes in this hotel. When I was sleepy yesterday, I even felt that a mosquito crawled into my mouth."

Lu Box: "Ouch, can you stop talking about such disgusting things while eating, sister Zhou!"

Zhou Yaqing grabbed the mosquito lump on his leg and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

At this moment, You Ye, who was sitting beside her, noticed something, raised her hand and said, "Sister Zhou, don't move, there is a leaf caught in your hair, I will remove it for you."

Zhou Yaqing said: "Oh, okay, I probably just stumbled upon it in the forest."

She took advantage of the situation and lowered her head so that You Ye could help her.

You Ye took off the blade.

Zhou Yaqing suddenly called out "ah".

You Ye stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Yaqing straightened up, touched his head, and frowned: "It's okay, maybe my hair was pulled."

Mustache, the hotel manager, just passed by their table.

He looked at Zhou Yaqing with a thoughtful expression, then smiled at her and narrowed his eyes.

Zhou Yaqing paused, and cursed in a low voice: "Why are you laughing, it's disgusting."
