Chapter 79 78. Burn
He stood at the door and looked up, just in case there was something waiting for him upstairs, but he could only see a very regular circular staircase, and a slightly exposed circular staircase on the second floor. The balcony, and then nothing more.
You Qi noticed that there was a lot of dust inside the door, which was shaken to the floor when he opened it, but the outside was as clean as new.
[The hostess’s main building: the hostess’s own private building in Xinyang Hotel. The building is very beautiful. ]
Youqi reached in, and the moment he touched the wall, the content on the light blue floating screen changed.
"Brother You..." Shi Ziping watched You Qi go in directly, but he was still a little worried, "Do you want us to go in together... or...?" "
Where's all this nonsense." Zhang Chengzhi directly pushed Shi Ziping away with one hand. He picked it up and stepped directly into the small building.
After confirming that no one was around, You Qi generously touched everything on the first floor. Shi Ziping and Zhang Chengzhi also followed in and walked around a few times.
[The hostess’s vase: The hostess of Xinyang Hotel bought the vase herself. She likes this color very much. But something has been added. ]
You Qi took a glance and found that the flowers outlined on the bottle were peonies.
[Hostess’ table: The hostess’s private table in Xinyang Hotel is slightly different from tables in other places. But something has been added. ]
round table. The room they started in was filled with room-shaped tables.
[Hostess's painting: The private painting of the hostess of Xinyang Hotel, painted by herself. But something has been added. ]
Still a peony.
[The hostess's oil lamp: an ordinary but extraordinary oil lamp. ]
From the beginning of the game to now, everything points to different clues. Things here are different from those outside, something has been added to the things here, especially the objects related to the hostess.
I don’t know if the Xinyang Hotel started with the hostess, but after all, the hostess is called the hostess. Living in this Xinyang Hotel, which has a bit of an ancient feel, must have something to do with these things.
You Qi thought of the hostess's pale complexion, numerous whites of her eyes, and small pupils. The hostess looked a bit abnormal and looked a bit like a dead person. She was probably the one who added a little something to the Xinyang Hotel. Something 'not quite the same'.
"Looking for mom..." You Qi thought for a moment.
"Would you like to go to the second floor?" Shi Ziping asked.
After he and Zhang Chengzhi finished walking around the first floor, they waited for Yuqi behind them. However, Yuqi seemed to be thinking about something and stood still in front of the oil lamp. Without Yuqi speaking, he did not dare to go up to the second floor alone. , not even with Zhang Chengzhi.
"Wait a minute." You Qi did not answer him immediately, but walked to the stairs and touched the handrail.
Although there seemed to be no one on the second floor, something was waiting for them.
[The stair railings in the main building: nothing special, just like other furniture in Xinyang Hotel. The mistress has been touching it a lot recently. ]
Touch often?
Before You Qi could figure it out, he heard a cold female voice coming from nowhere:
"Who's there?"
This voice was cold and biting, and it seemed very abrupt in this extremely quiet environment. It sounded like It came from the first floor, but they didn't see anyone. The most important thing is that this voice was the voice of the hostess.
"...Hmm!" Shi Ziping was frightened and almost shouted, but You Qi had already pulled them out and rushed out, but the sliding door in front of them closed on its own in an instant!
Then they heard the wall on the first floor creaking, as if something was about to open behind the huge peony picture on the wall.
——The mistress is inside!
This is the only thought of the three people.
what to do!
Shi Ziping was so anxious that sweat dropped from his forehead. Zhang Chengzhi was also a little nervous. He walked up to the door and opened it. He found that the door seemed to be blocked with something and could not be opened at all. It was stuck. Tight, seeing this, Zhang Chengzhi stepped forward and tried. He was a muscular man and had great strength. However, no matter how he pushed and pulled the door, or hit the paper-thin door leaf, the door did not move at all!
On the other side, the painting on the wall is moving slowly, and a tunnel behind it has gradually been revealed. It's too late!
You Qi suddenly had an idea and pulled out the oil lamp on the hostess's table, then threw it on the sliding door. In just a moment, the door burst into flames!
The corridor on the wall was finally fully opened, and the expressionless hostess walked out of it. The corridor behind her was pitch black and she couldn't see anything clearly, but in front of her...
most of the door on the first floor had been burned by the fire. It was completely gone, and only some corners were still burning with red flames. The door frame was still standing. Although it was ignited or even burned, it still stood on the door and did not fall down. On the floor, there was an oil lamp. The base rolled down, the hot oil flowed out a little, and the flame was extinguished.
"Fire..."
The hostess couldn't see any emotion, she just stepped forward and picked up the oil lamp.
The temperature of the oil lamp that had been burning was very high. The hot oil flowed out from the base and flowed down the hostess's fingertips into her sleeves. However, there was no trace of pain on her expression, as if she had not been burned.
"Something has gotten into the group of children..."
The hostess's tone was calm and cold, like a lingering poisonous snake, with a coldness that penetrated deep into the bone marrow and slowly wrapped around her neck.
She murmured to herself, and her few pupils stared through the burned-through door into the deep darkness outside.
"Who could it be?"
...
"Brother You, how did you come up with this idea?" Shi Ziping was panting a little. His physique was not very good, so he was only about 50% better than You Qi, but after entering the game, you There was an inexplicable improvement in Yu Qi's physique, perhaps because of the bug. Now You Qi just looked at Shi Ziping who was panting very calmly.
The three of them ran closely in the corridor with oil lamps, and did not stop until the firelight behind them could no longer be seen.
"The thin door is not normal, so I gave it a try." Of course You Qi would not tell Shi Ziping that the description of the item he saw said it was made of paper, "luck."
Hearing this, Shi Ziping had a more serious look on his face. There was an expression of admiration, but Zhang Chengzhi looked at Youqi twice more.
This person...
The introduction of the oil lamp is that it is an ordinary and extraordinary oil lamp. The door is made of paper, and both are special. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an attempt.
However, Yu Qi didn't expect that the fire would burn so quickly, so that they easily rushed out of the completely burned door.
"It's time to go back." Zhang Chengzhi glanced behind him faintly. The thick darkness in the corridor was like a splash of ink, and nothing could be seen clearly.
...I wonder if I will catch up.
