Handing Women’s Clothes To the Escape Game BOSS - Chapter 58
The moment the system voice fell, the iron gate behind the player suddenly closed!
“bang bang – bang!”
The hotel suddenly fell into darkness, and everyone was panicked by the loud noise.
Jiang Xiuxiu took a step back subconsciously, but felt that something cool and sticky seemed to flash past behind him.
What is that…wind?
In the darkness, all perceptions and emotions are infinitely magnified.
Jiang Xiuxiu heard the voices of the people around him gulping, knowing that 80% of them were the same, and noticed the strangeness behind him.
What the **** is that?
At this moment, she felt something grabbed her hand.
It was a hand, the fingers were cold, there was no temperature, only the palm was still warm.
Jiang Xiuxiu was caught off guard and trembled.
The next second, she heard a soft voice coming from her ear:
“Don’t be afraid, it’s me.”
Ye Ming.
So it was Ye Ming who caught her?
Jiang Xiuxiu was slightly startled, and then she realized that she already had a boyfriend.
However, his hands are really cold…
“Why does this game still have couples?” Just as Jiang Xiuxiu was stunned, a player muttered in her ear, “Don’t you know how to go to other games when you are in love?”
Jiang Xiuxiu: “…”
Hello, what happened to the couple? Can couples play escape games? !
When Jiang Xiuxiu heard this, she opened her mouth and wanted to refute it.
But before she could say a word, she felt that Ye Ming’s hand holding her moved slightly and scratched lightly in her palm.
For some reason, she couldn’t see anything, but she felt that Ye Ming seemed to be laughing.
Not the obvious, laugh-out-loud laugh, but the kind that brows happily, a little laugh.
After realizing this, Jiang Xiuxiu’s depression disappeared a lot.
Such an interruption has relieved a lot of tension.
After Jiang Xiuxiu calmed down, she tried her best to ignore the strange feeling all over her body and focused on other aspects.
She closed her eyes and listened carefully to the sounds around her.
Now they can’t see, so the only way to capture the situation is through sound.
Soon, Jiang Xiuxiu found that there was a strange sound like something dragging from above their heads.
da da… da da…
Is this the sound of footsteps?
Just as Jiang Xiuxiu secretly speculated, the voice stopped.
Then, a slow voice sounded—
“Are you new guests?”
The one who spoke seemed to be a very old woman.
Her voice came from the stairs on the right, and her voice was hoarse, with the lingering tone of an old man.
She appeared in the hall faintly, making it impossible for players to tell whether she was a human or a ghost for a while.
“Ah, that’s right.”
“Yes, we are the new arrivals…”
Seeing the old man come out, the other players stunned for a moment, and then quickly responded.
The old man listened to their words, slowly descended the steps, and then pressed the light switch.
Only a few “Zizzi” sounds were heard, and the incandescent lamps in the hotel were on and off, finally illuminating the hall.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but when the surroundings were lit up, the strange coolness in the hall disappeared instantly.
This time, Jiang Xiuxiu finally saw the situation in the hotel clearly.
Contrary to its small appearance, the interior of the hotel is quite large, with a staircase on the left and right, and the interior decoration is also quite good.
It’s really 1900’s style, a lot of the furniture is made of wood, but it looks pretty neat.
The only thing that makes people a little uncomfortable is that in the hotel, mirrors can be seen everywhere.
The walls of the stairs are full of mirrors, and the floor is inlaid with mirrors that allow you to see your own reflection.
On the wall behind the counter on the first floor, there is a display case, which lists rows of various mirrors.
“That’s the owner’s collection,” the old man explained when the player was surprised, “He likes mirrors very much.”
Mirror ah…
Jiang Xiuxiu looked at the shadows in these mirrors, and remembered that the words the system said at the beginning of the game happened to contain information related to the mirrors.
As long as you play the undead game in front of the mirror at twelve o’clock in the middle of the night, you can see the dead in the mirror.
Is this hotel built like this, is it related to the undead game?
On the other side, after the introduction, the old man walked over to the counter and took out a row of keys.
She spread out the keys and handed them to the players one by one: “There are five floors in the hotel, and the top floor is full. You can choose the rest of the rooms.”
When the players saw this, they walked to the counter one after another and began to choose a room.
Jiang Xiuxiu walked over, thought about it, and chose Room 301.
At this time, some players seemed to think that the old man knew a lot, and suddenly asked: “Grandma, this is the first time we have come to City A. I heard that there is a famous story here called ‘Undead Game’. Do you know about the undead? What is a game?”
“The undead game is a game for the dead,” the old man said lightly. “Since you don’t know, then forget it. It wasn’t meant for the living to play.”
It seemed that she didn’t want to talk about things related to the undead game.
The first player hit a wall, and the other players looked at each other, not daring to ask any more questions.
After everyone selected the room, the old man briefly explained the situation of the hotel: “The cafeteria is on the second floor, and food will be provided in the morning, noon and evening at 7:00, 12:00 and 18:00.”
After she finished speaking, she said something inadvertently: “After twelve o’clock, try not to make any noise, it will disturb other guests.”
The players listened and nodded, indicating that they remembered.
After that, everyone separated and walked to the selected room.
Jiang Xiuxiu and Ye Ming soon came to Room 301.
They opened the suitcase first and found that there were only a few sets of clothes and a diary inside.
Jiang Xiuxiu opened his own diary and looked at it roughly.
She was a little surprised to find that the content recorded in the diary was mostly negative.
The owner of the diary is a loser with a very bad life. She was abandoned by her beloved lover. She has no friends in reality and has a bad relationship with her parents.
When Jiang Xiuxiu turned to the last few pages, I could see that the author’s psychological situation was getting worse and worse.
【If only you were dead…】
[I really don’t want to live anymore, I’m so uncomfortable, why is it so hard for people to live? 】
[Die, die, die, die, die! 】
The contents of the diary came to an abrupt end here.
Jiang Xiuxiu closed the diary and asked Ye Ming again, and learned that the contents of his diary were similar.
“My diary belongs to a young man who failed to start a business and owed a huge amount of online loans,” Ye Ming said, “He was in debt of several million, cut off ties with his parents, hid everywhere by himself, committed suicide several times but never success.”
That is to say, whether it is Jiang Xiuxiu or Ye Ming, or even other players, the identities given to them by the game are all helpless, desperate, and madly wanting to die.
Thinking of the setting of the “undead game” in the old man’s mouth, Jiang Xiuxiu vaguely had a bad premonition in his heart.
Apart from these, there is no information related to the undead game or city A in the diary.
I didn’t even write down why I came to City A and why I stayed in this hotel.
Jiang Xiuxiu rummaged through the suitcase again, but couldn’t find anything else useful.
After finishing all these things, Jiang Xiuxiu raised his head and looked at the alarm clock.
It was 5:30 pm, half an hour before dinner time.
“Go to the cafeteria now,” Jiang Xiuxiu said to Ye Ming after thinking for a while, “I’ll go to the fifth floor.”
When the old man said that the fifth floor was full of guests and said that there were other guests here, Jiang Xiuxiu became curious about those NPCs who had the same identity as the player.
She couldn’t do anything for half an hour anyway, she didn’t want to waste this matter, she just went upstairs to take a look and maybe she could find something.
“Okay.” Ye Ming nodded obediently after hearing her words.
The division of labor between the two soon ended, and Jiang Xiuxiu left the room and walked upstairs.
When players choose rooms, most of them choose the second and third floors.
Going up, because the people become scarce, the environment will be much deserted.
Mirrors were inlaid on both sides of the narrow staircase. When Jiang Xiuxiu went upstairs, as long as he tilted his head slightly, he would see the reflection in the mirror.
I don’t know if it’s her illusion, as long as she catches a glimpse of her own reflection, she always feels that they are quietly looking at her in the mirror.
For this situation, Jiang Xiuxiu felt a little uncomfortable.
So she took a deep breath and walked straight to the fifth floor without looking sideways.
On the fifth floor, Jiang Xiuxiu clearly noticed something different.
Compared to the fourth floor, the temperature on the fifth floor was much lower, so cold Jiang Xiuxiu couldn’t help shivering.
The lights were not turned on on the fifth floor, and the entire corridor was silent, it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen clearly.
Jiang Xiuxiu walked over lightly, and found that all the doors here were tightly closed, and none of the doors were open.
Because of the old decoration style, most of the doors here are still wooden doors, without cat’s eyes and more advanced equipment, and the door gaps are slightly larger.
The sky has turned dark now, and the lights are basically turned on in the room, but through the cracks in the door, Jiang Xiuxiu can clearly know that there are no lights in these rooms.
Like the corridor outside, the interior of all the rooms on the fifth floor was also pitch black, with no light leaking out.
Didn’t it say that the fifth floor was full, why didn’t she see a trace?
Could it be that no one lives here at all?
Jiang Xiuxiu walked to the nearest door and twisted the door handle gently, feeling that the force was blocked.
This door is locked.
“what are you doing?”
Just when Jiang Xiuxiu frowned and wanted to try a few more rooms, she suddenly heard a voice behind her.
She was frightened, she turned around quickly, and found that the old man she had seen on the first floor was standing quietly behind her.
The old man did not know when he appeared, and there was no sound of footsteps.
She stared at Jiang Xiuxiu faintly, her eyes were dark, and her voice was stiff and hoarse: “This is not the place you should come, hurry up.”
“Good, good!”
After Jiang Xiuxiu was caught by her, she panicked and didn’t want to stay anymore.
Without saying a word, she nodded quickly, squeezed past the old man, and quickly went downstairs.
When she was going downstairs, the old man had been standing at the entrance of the fifth floor, motionless, like a silent statue.
Her eyes were always on Jiang Xiuxiu, her eyes were straight and very scary.
Jiang Xiuxiu’s scalp was numb from her sight, and there was even an indescribable sense of oppression.
The feeling didn’t ease until she walked around a corner and let the wall block the old man’s view.
Jiang Xiuxiu did not go back to the room, but ran to the cafeteria on the second floor in one breath.
At this moment, most of the players are already seated at the table, waiting for the food to be served.
Jiang Xiuxiu looked around, and soon saw Ye Ming.
She ran over and sat beside him, glanced at the clock on the wall again, and found that her trip actually took her more than 20 minutes.
As the meal was approaching, the food in the kitchen was almost ready, and the aroma of the food permeated the entire cafeteria.
Jiang Xiuxiu glanced at the other players and briefly explained what he had just experienced.
Then, she asked Ye Ming in a low voice, “Have you found anything?”
Ye Ming nodded and said, “I did find something.”
“There is a problem with the number of players here,” he said. “After I came out of the room, I found that the total number of players in the hotel, including the players in the cafeteria now, is always only thirteen.”
His voice was calm, but what he said made people shudder.
“Player, one less.”
