Chapter 292: Locust Tree Hotel 10
The moment Chu Yian saw it, her body stiffened.
Rule 9: At 03:00, the power in the room will go out… Please believe that there is no one else in the room besides yourself, and everything you see during this time is an illusion.
She moved the camcorder away, seemingly calm, but in reality, she was panicking, and her steps quickened involuntarily.
She walked into the toilet and bathroom with the camcorder, and the bath towel covering the mirror had fallen.
Fortunately, Chu Yian had prepared in advance, closing her eyes the second before the camcorder aimed at the mirror. Some things are like that, more idealistic. If you think it’s there, it’s there; if you think it’s not, it’s not.
Chu Yian only opened her eyes when the camcorder was aimed at the floor, yet even then she saw something terrifying—
A puddle of blood was expanding on the bathroom floor, already flowing to her feet.
Damn it!
Chu Yian silently cursed in her heart, held the camcorder steady, and walked out. However, when the camcorder accidentally swept over the opposite corner, it once again captured the disheveled head in the corner.
At this point, there was not only a head in the corner, but also a hand tightly clawing at the ground.
Chu Yian only glanced at it, but the appearance of that hand clearly appeared in her mind. It was pale and bloodless, with unusually long middle and ring fingers, broken from the first joint. The fingers twitched little by little on the ground, giving one the feeling that it was about to crawl out.
It’s fine.
It’s all an illusion.
Chu Yian comforted herself in her heart, then quickly returned to her bed and covered herself with the quilt.
She had basically completed all of her night tasks, with only the reviews left unfinished.
There were no lights now, so writing them tomorrow morning wouldn’t be too late.
Time to sleep, time to sleep.
Chu Yian wrapped herself tightly in the quilt and reviewed the ten rules in her mind. Feeling like there were no omissions, she finally went to sleep with peace of mind.
That night, various strange sounds came from all directions.
Chu Yian was woken up several times, then remembered the sound insulation test.
Rule 10: From 00:01-03:30, there will be a sound insulation test. No matter what you hear, don’t open your eyes, just sleep. She had been anxious and busy for the first half of the night and was already extremely sleepy by this time, not to mention her subconscious telling her that as long as she didn’t open her eyes, there was no danger.
She slept until seven o’clock.
Chu Yian could have continued sleeping, but unfortunately, she remembered that she still had two essays to write: the Bathroom Experience Review and the Hotel Room 8808 Comprehensive Review.
She got up in the morning and wrote furiously.
With the experience from the previous two reviews, these two were written much faster.
After finishing these, there were still 20 minutes left before breakfast ended, so Chu Yian hurried downstairs to eat. She was considered quite late; the restaurant was already full of people, but everyone’s faces carried a hint of solemnity.
The person at the entrance called out to Chu Yian, who was about to enter, “Which room are you in? Have you registered?”
“No.”
Chu Yian looked at the form in the person’s hand, “What is this for?”
“The number of surviving players. So far, only 31 players have registered. If they haven’t arrived by 9:00, then the remaining people have most likely met with misfortune.”
This was just a spontaneous effort by players to count survivors.
Upon hearing this, Chu Yian reported her name, Wang Da Ni, and casually mentioned that she lived on the eighth floor, then quickly entered the restaurant to find nutritious food.
While she was busy eating, Li Mingzhu sat down in front of her.
“Da Ni, why are you only just arriving? I thought something bad had happened to you.”
After a night of gaming, Li Mingzhu had dark circles under her eyes and looked a bit haggard. But upon seeing Chu Yian, she still showed a familiar smile, “It’s really good that you’re okay.”
Chu Yian looked at her leg, “What happened to your foot?”
When asked about her leg, Li Mingzhu’s smile became a little stiff, “N-nothing. I accidentally sprained it while doing a task last night.”
“Oh.”
Chu Yian nodded, continued to eat breakfast, and thought about what to do during the day.
It seemed like one of the daytime tasks required experiencing the Hotel’s recreational facilities. Should she go experience them after submitting the reviews? No, she should go to the front desk first and ask if they would have a new Sleep Tester Handbook today.
She made up her mind and went to the first floor after breakfast.
Unexpectedly, she wasn’t the only one on the first floor; several teams had already gathered at the front desk.
“Hello, all Sleep Testers. Sleep Tester Handbook 02 will be distributed today from 18:00-20:00, still at the Hotel Management Center on the second floor.
Please place yesterday’s reviews of the Hotel rooms in the box in front of you. The deadline for review collection is 10:00; reviews received after this time will not be accepted.”
The front desk smiled and pointed to the suggestion box in front, but very few people had written reviews.
The players’ biggest goal last night was to survive.
They followed the rules step by step, fearing that not doing well would attract terrifying things and lead to their deaths. Who would be in the mood to write reviews? Some people wrote a little based on the prompts, while others didn’t write anything at all.
Fortunately, they still had an hour to add content.
Most players were frantically writing in the lounge area on the first floor, just like elementary school students catching up on homework on the last day of winter break.
At this moment, Chu Yian unhurriedly took out her already completed reviews, “Do you only need the four pages of reviews, or the entire handbook?”
“Please place the entire Sleep Tester Handbook 01 in the box. We will be distributing new Sleep Tester Handbooks this afternoon.”
The front desk attendant finished speaking with an unchanging expression, watched Chu Yian place the handbook into the box, and reminded her again about the time to pick up the new handbook this afternoon.
It was as if she only knew those two sentences.
“Where are the Hotel’s entertainment and leisure facilities?”
Chu Yian looked at the NPC. If she wouldn’t say, Chu Yian would ask directly.
“Floors 1-4 of the building are all entertainment and leisure facilities, open from 9:00-20:00. You are welcome to experience them and provide valuable feedback.”
After asking, the attendant’s attitude was quite good.
Seeing that she answered every question, Chu Yian continued to extract information, “I heard that the Hotel has many entertainment facilities, like swimming, fitness, movies, and sauna. Which one do you recommend the most?”
“Everyone has different interests, so they like different things. Every activity is very much worth experiencing.”
The attendant’s attitude was very good, but she couldn’t get any key information out of her.
Try asking in a different way.
“Among all these activities, which one takes the least amount of time?”
“Each of these entertainment and leisure activities takes approximately 2-3 hours, but the specific time each person experiences can vary.”
Seeing this, Chu Yian was about to choose an activity to try and extract more information from the attendant when her shoulder was suddenly tapped…
