The anchor is dying every day [System]

This is not over, the host said in the post: "On the second night of my encounter with ghosts, I met a strange man wrapped in black clothes downstairs in my house. I rushed over and knocked me unconscious... I was unconscious for more than two hours before waking up. When I woke up, I found myself lying in a deserted alley, with a lot of money and mobile phones on my body , but someone painted a bunch of strange symbols on my face with red paint... In fact, I kind of suspect that it is actually human or animal blood, because my nose is full of strong bloody smell... And those The symbols are like those spells on TV!"

"I was very scared and called the police. The police told me that there have been many such incidents in the city recently... There were men and women who were attacked, and they all painted their faces after being beaten unconscious like me. Ghost painting! The police said that they suspected that it had something to do with the cult that was taken down some time ago... Oh my god! How could I be so unlucky? What do you think those cult members are trying to do by knocking me out? Could it be that they are hunting for prey? Make a mark, and when the time comes, they will take us to sacrifice or something like that? Aren’t there cult members in foreign countries who would use pure virgins as sacrifices? But I’m not a virgin! I even None of them are virgins!... The police said they would investigate and told me not to be afraid. But how could I not be afraid? I might be caught by cult members and sacrificed at some point? What should I do? Please Please give me some advice, I am so panicked now that I dare not go out to work..."

Looking at the content of the post on the phone, Xiao Yuening narrowed his eyes slightly, almost convinced in his heart that the person who posted the post met someone from the gate of hell.

Sure enough, this group of people had sneaked into City A and started searching for him everywhere.

The female ghost that the person who posted the first post was supposed to be just a bait. There must be a lot of such ghosts in City A now, and they are specially used to screen out those special people who can see ghosts.

After all, as a closed door person, any identity is possible, but it is absolutely impossible not to see an ordinary ghost.

After the female ghost selects those who can see her one by one, a divine envoy will come to confirm whether the other party is the person behind the door.

And the method of confirmation should be inseparable from the blood curse on the host's face.

Xiao Yuening's face was condensed, he flicked the screen and continued to look down.

At the bottom of this post, many netizens were in an uproar after hearing about the landlord’s experience. Some believed it and some did not believe it. Many netizens clamored for the landlord to produce evidence.

The landlord could not provide any evidence, saying that he was too scared at the time and didn't take pictures at all, but he definitely didn't lie.

Seeing that he has no evidence, more people think he is lying.

However, when Xiao Yuening continued to look down, he suddenly saw a very different message amidst many scolding voices.

A netizen whose ID is "I'm a little caterpillar" replied: "I believe in the host! Let me tell you, a colleague of mine also encountered the same thing as the host. He also called the police at that time, but the police also failed to catch those people... …These people are premeditated, and they are very powerful. The surveillance at the location of the incident has basically been artificially damaged in advance, and the police can’t find anything. Let me tell you something even more terrifying, my colleague said Well, after the police tested it, they found that the blood used for the ghostly symbols on his face was actually human blood... This was accidentally leaked by a relatively young policeman, for fear of causing panic, the police only said it was animal blood... My colleague almost pouted on the spot. Isn't it very scary?"

"And let me tell you, this is even more terrifying. My colleague lived in a remote place, so he had to go home by car. When he came out of the police station that day and was on the bus, he saw two men in black clothes. The man walked into a building on the side of the road. These two people were dressed exactly the same as the man in black who stunned him. At that time, the bus just stopped at a stop, so my colleague remembers it very clearly. It was about ten seconds away from the 'Hesha Station'. There was a big sign on the top of the building, which read 'Xingdu International Hotel' '..."

Xiao Yuening directly took a screenshot of this paragraph, saved the specific address of "Xingdu International Hotel", and then opened the map to search.

A few seconds later, the search results came out. They really had this hotel in the city, and a bus stop near it was exactly the "Hesha Station" mentioned by the netizen.

It's hard to say whether the man in black mentioned by the netizen came to this hotel because there was something they needed to investigate, or because this place was their temporary foothold in City A.

But no matter what, now that he has some information about the other party, Xiao Yuening will definitely not let it go.

Just as he was thinking so, the phone suddenly made a "ding" notification sound.After clicking on the app, he found that a new task had been issued.

"... Now the frequency of missions is getting faster and faster, and the time is just right... Does it know that I have found the trace of the gate of hell?"

While Xiao Yuening was thinking this way, he clicked on the app to check.

Unlike last time, it was a single main mission, this time there are two missions, and all of them are side missions.

Side mission 1: Twelve evil gods (kill the snake god of the twelve judges of the gate of hell. Note: You need to kill its body and its host ghost king to complete the task.)

Mission Difficulty: Five Stars

Task time: 15 days (countdown has started)

Task success reward: 8000 points.

Mission Failed: Obliteration.

Side Mission 2: Twelve Evil Gods (Kill the Eagle God of the Twelve Judges at the Gate of Hell. Note: To complete the task, you need to kill its body and its ghost king.)

Mission Difficulty: Five Stars

Task time: 15 days (countdown has started)

Task success reward: 8000 points.

Mission Failed: Obliteration.

It really is a series of tasks.

And it's the snake god and the eagle god... It seems that although the titles of the twelve judges of the gate of hell are referred to by animals, they are not twelve zodiac signs.

There is no eagle in the zodiac.

The two missions this time are branch lines. It seems that there is no door, but it is normal. The two judges entered City A from other places. Take it with you.

And this time and space gate belonging to these two people should still be in their respective bases.

The most important thing is - it's obviously only two side missions, but the price of his mission failure is all obliteration... APP really is very firm in wanting to kill these people!

Now that he has found his destination, Xiao Yuening is unwilling to wait any longer.

Anyway, he and the gate of hell have already forged a feud, and the situation is already endless. Since it is impossible to live in peace, instead of waiting to be found and putting himself in a passive situation, he is more inclined to take the initiative.

After making up his mind, Xiao Yuening told Su Yi that he planned to investigate the Xingdu International Hotel tonight.

He also prepared black clothes for himself to move at night, as well as a hat and a mask. He planned to cover his face, lest the other party see his true face and come to him if he didn't complete the task.

In addition to these, there are also his sidearms.

In addition to the Liuhuo Jinling and Hades Whip, just in case, he also tied a newly bought knife to his calf with a rope.

As for Xiao Hei, he didn't intend to take it with him this time. After all, the goal was too obvious with a black cat of this size.

If Xiao Hei is accidentally seen or photographed, the people at the Gate of Hell can trace his identity without Xiao Yuening showing his true face.

After checking all the equipment around him, Xiao Yuening casually put Xiao Huang into his backpack, and then went out with Su Yi.

Hesha Road is located in the south of City A.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, wearing a hat, Xiao Yuening got off the bus with his head bowed, and appeared beside the bus platform of Hesha Station. Su Yi followed him, but the passers-by couldn't see him.

The night was dark, there were no stars and moons in the sky, and the cool wind coming out of the face felt slightly damp. I wondered if it was going to rain later.

The location of Xingdu International Hotel is very close to the bus platform of Hesha Station, so close that even if Xiao Yuening stands here, he can still see the huge signboard erected on the roof of the building.

He estimated that it should be only a few hundred meters away from where he is now.

Xiao Yuening looked at the building from a distance, pressed down the brim of his hat, pulled up the mask that had been piled on his chin, covered half of his face, turned his head and said to Su Yi, "Let's go."

Su Yi naturally would not object.

The two soon arrived at the gate of Xingdu International Hotel.

The decoration of this hotel is quite good. From the entrance to the lobby, all of them are covered with golden light mirrors, reflecting the warm golden light emitted by the giant chandelier hanging in the middle of the lobby. An illusion like walking into a dragon palace.

Sure enough, it is very worthy of its name as an international hotel.

Because it was not clear whether this hotel was related to the gate of hell, Xiao Yuening would not be so stupid as to register at the front desk and leave his personal information.

He pretended to be a familiar face of a hotel guest and walked straight towards the stairs.

There are two or three passengers with suitcases in the lobby, they are checking in, and there are guests upstairs who take the elevator downstairs, and they seem to be going out for dinner or shopping... In short, it looks quite normal, and it is different from other hotels There doesn't seem to be any difference.

After entering the elevator, Xiao Yuening pressed the elevator buttons and found that this Xingdu International Hotel is actually only 7 floors high. Except for the combination of the lobby and the restaurant on the first floor, everything from the second floor up is housing department. .

There was no one in the elevator, Xiao Yuening turned his head to look at Su Yi beside him before pressing the door close button, and asked in a low voice, "Shall we start from the second floor first?"

Su Yi paused and turned to look at him.

Xiao Yuening's voice was lowered: "...Can you sense that there is something wrong in this hotel? I mean Yin Qi or something."

Su Yi shook his head: "No, it feels very normal."

Xiao Yuening frowned, and still pressed the button on the second floor, and when the elevator slowly ascended, he lowered his voice again, and said doubtfully: "Could we have guessed wrong, this is not the gathering place for the gates of hell at all. ? That netizen saw their people entering and leaving the hotel, is it because there are also targets they suspect in the hotel, and they are just here to confirm their identities?"

The expression on Su Yi's face was not very interested, he just nodded lightly and remained silent, his eyes just stared at Xiao Yuening's pensive profile.

In fact, he was not very interested in anything other than Xiao Yuening, not only when he was alive, but even more so after death.The reason why he was willing to come out with Xiao Yuening was because he didn't want to be separated from him.

After reaching the second floor, the silver-gray elevator doors opened slowly to both sides.

Warm yellow lights were shining in the long corridor in front of me, illuminating the gray carpet on the floor.The doors of the guest rooms with numbers written on the left and right sides of the corridor are all closed at the moment, and there is no sign of half of the guests in the long corridor.

Xiao Yuening stepped out of the elevator and walked along the corridor to the end.

There are at least [-] or [-] rooms on this floor. Every time he walked through a door, he would use his newly acquired ghost ears to listen carefully to the movement in the room, but he never found anything wrong. place.

"Is the person from the gate of hell really not here?"

After checking the second floor, Xiao Yuening reluctantly checked the third floor to the seventh floor in turn, but still got nothing.

Moreover, because he was still wearing a hat and a mask at night, he looked suspiciously wandering outside the doors of each guest room. When the service staff pushing the cart saw him, they would always treat him Cast a strange look.

Xiao Yuening was afraid of attracting the attention of the hotel security and driving him out. After checking all the remaining floors, he had no choice but to leave first.

"What's going on? Did I really misunderstand?" Xiao Yuening pulled Su Yi, hiding in the shadow not far from the hotel gate, muttering to himself, he turned his eyes to Su Yi unwillingly, and asked: " Did you really feel nothing?"

Su Yi looked at him, and just about to speak, Xiao Yuening grabbed his arm violently, and said in a low voice, "Stop talking!"

Su Yi paused, and sure enough he didn't speak anymore.

Xiao Yuening pulled him to hide behind the green belt, poked his head out quietly, and looked towards the entrance of Jindu International Hotel.

There were few pedestrians on the street near midnight, and a car was slowly approaching and stopped directly at the hotel entrance.

The car door opened, and a strange man in black got out of the car—even if it was a late night street, such a strange man in black and wrapped himself up tightly was still very eye-catching.From the moment he walked into the resplendent hotel lobby, the two remaining customers in the lobby gave him attention, and their expressions became a little vigilant.

But when the man's robe flew past them, the two guests turned their eyes away speechlessly when they saw the "So-and-so Cosplay Fans' Association" embroidered on the corner of his robe. Go back, what should you do?

As early as the moment the man in black entered the hotel, Xiao Yuening followed closely behind.The moment the man walked into the elevator and turned around, in order not to be seen, he quickly hid behind a potted plant not far away.

After hearing the soft sound of the elevator door closing, he walked out quickly and came to the front of the elevator, staring closely at the beating elevator numbers.

Unlike the two guests just now, he didn't relax his vigilance when he saw the embroidered words on the man in black.

On the contrary, almost as soon as the man in black appeared in front of his eyes, Xiao Yuening believed that he must be the envoy sent by the Gate of Hell to City A to look for him.

Because no matter what camouflage the other party made, the faint but familiar subtle aura unique to the monster inside the door could not be changed.

So, don't say that these people embroider the words "Cosplay Fans Association" on their black clothes, even if they use words as big as baskets on their robes to write "Fire Cloud Cthulhu" or "Death God" He couldn't simply treat them as a group of adults with secondary illnesses.

It seems that after the gate of hell lost one of its twelve judges and was taken away by the police, it also became low-key and knew how to pretend.

Xiao Yuening was thinking wildly, but on the other side, the number on the elevator was getting smaller and smaller. It was actually not pointing upwards, but downwards.

Not counting the flashing red letters on the small screen, the numbers are constantly beating: -1, -2, -3... -4!

It's actually the -4th floor?

Xiao Yuening was a little confused.

If he remembered correctly, when he entered this elevator just now, the floor button inside did not have the option -4... Then how did this person get down to the -4 floor?

The more he thought about it, the more creepy he felt, Xiao Yuening couldn't help turning his head to look at Su Yi: "... Su Yi, do you remember that when we just went upstairs, there was a floor called -4 in the elevator?"

Su Yi shook his head decisively: "No."

Sure enough, no?

... The fourth basement floor, no matter how it sounds, it is unlucky.And it's really weird that even Su Yi didn't notice anything wrong.

Just when Xiao Yuening was full of uneasiness, the elevator in front of him stopped on the -4 floor for a few seconds, and then slowly went up.

After the number on the elevator panel gradually jumped to the "1" floor, the elevator door in front of him made a soft "ding" sound, and the silver-gray door opened to both sides, quietly waiting for someone to enter.

Xiao Yuening looked at the empty elevator room in front of him, and nervously stroked the burning golden bell on his wrist... However, when he turned his eyes to the indifferent man beside him, the nervousness that he had originally felt suddenly disappeared. Dissipated a lot.

"Let's go."

The two walked into the elevator room, and the cold elevator door slowly closed.

Xiao Yuening stood in front of the elevator floor button panel, and found that the bottom floor was indeed -3 floor.

So, how to get to the -4 floor?

After hesitating for a while, he reached out and pressed the bottom -3 layer first, intending to try his luck.

After the button lights up, accompanied by a slight sense of weightlessness, the elevator begins to descend.

On the cold electronic display screen, it shows the floors that are getting lower and lower.

-1, -2... Finally, the elevator stopped on the -3 floor without accident.

The screen door opened slowly, and outside the door was the cold underground parking lot.

There were only three or two cars parked sparsely in the parking lot, which looked extremely empty. The cold white lights shone on the ground, showing a slightly gloomy chill.

Xiao Yuening took a few glances at the empty parking lot in front of him, pressed the close button again, and then hesitated what to do next.

He was really not sure how the people at the Gate of Hell used to reach the fourth underground floor, which seemed to not exist at all. Could there be any special mystery in it?

Just when he was hesitating and not knowing what to do, Xiao Yuening suddenly stretched out a cold and pale hand behind him, and pressed the elevator button on the -3 floor again.

Then, the fingertip that touched the button suddenly overflowed with a trace of chilly air, spreading and attacking the inside of the button.

During this process, the elevator button on the -3 floor kept flashing red light, and the elevator door that had been closed in front of him opened again because someone pressed the -3 floor again.

It wasn't until Su Yi injected enough Yin Qi into it that the red light on the button was flashing non-stop, and finally stopped, and the elevator doors that opened to both sides began to close again.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yuening's heart moved. He looked back, met Su Yi's cold eyes, and asked hesitantly, "...do you know how to get to the -4th floor?"

Su Yi nodded: "Probably, I need to try it." He said and withdrew his hand.

I don't know whether to say it was unexpected or expected.After the elevator door closed again, the elevator car trembled slightly, the familiar feeling of weightlessness struck again, and the elevator really started to go down.

The original -3 floor prompt on the elevator screen also changed to -4 floor after a slight flash.

-4!

They actually found a way to enter!

Xiao Yuening quickly drew the King's Whip from his waist, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time.

After about a second, the elevator shook slightly and finally stopped.

Xiao Yuening gasped, clenched the whip tightly in his hand, couldn't help but took two steps back, and crashed into a cold chest.

An arm lightly supported his shoulder, and his cold fingers lightly touched his tight neck. It was so cold that Xiao Yuening couldn't help shivering violently.

Su Yi said softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator doors in front of him slowly opened to both sides, and in an instant, a strange smell mixed with blood came to his nostrils.

It was pitch black in front of him, only the lights inside the elevator illuminated the open space five or six meters ahead.

A gust of sinister wind was blowing towards the discarded plastic packaging bag, and the sound echoed. Obviously, this underground space is huge and empty.

Xiao Yuening even suspected that this was originally an underground parking lot, but it was quietly reserved for other purposes.

Looking at the black hole in front of him, he hesitated for a moment, but walked out one after another with Su Yi.

After his eyes got used to the darkness in front of him, Xiao Yuening noticed that it really was a huge underground space, but the difference was that apart from the large open space around the elevator, the place farther away was surrounded by a large space. A wall separates.

There was a faint light coming from the door that was not closed tightly on the wall. In addition, he could still hear excited and weird noises from inside from time to time. It seemed that something was happening in the place isolated by the wall. Blood pumping thing.

Hearing this movement, Xiao Yuening guessed that there would definitely be many members of the Gate of Hell hidden in this weird fourth underground floor, and he couldn't help sweating from his nervous vest, and the hand holding the Hades' Whip was even harder.

Su Yi sensed his emotions and turned around to give him a comforting look in the dark.

Xiao Yuening felt his gaze in the dark, and his nervousness eased a little, but he still raised his whole body's vigilance, guarding against the things he might face next.

As he got closer and closer to the place where the light source came from, Xiao Yuening also quickly discovered some unusual places on the open ground.For example, there were many mottled old bloodstains on the ground under his feet and on the supporting pillars erected around him.

Most of these bloodstains are in the state of spraying, and some even have incomplete palm prints and traces of being dragged... It seems that there used to be a person covered in blood here who wanted to escape, and the other party struggled and tried to climb in the direction of the elevator , but in the end it seemed to be dragged back abruptly by someone, it was creepy to watch.
