Chapter 296

Dim red lights flickered overhead, illuminating the empty, narrow corridor.

In the dead and narrow corridor, heavy and rapid breathing echoed.

Wen Jianyan let go of the doorknob in his hand, and slowly took two steps back, his eyes fell on the closed door of the hotel room.

On top of the small lamp that is slowly lighting up, showing the four characters [Do Not Disturb], is a small iron plate that has been deeply carved into the door. The numbers on it are mottled with time, but under the dark red light However, it is particularly clear

408

Wen Jianyan narrowed his eyes.

He remembered that this was the room number he was in when he first entered the dungeon, and it was also in room 408 that he saw the portrait of the woman in white with a vague face for the first time.

That is to say...

In this dungeon, the room number is not strictly fixed, but follows the portrait in the room.

"Me, what shall we do next?"

Huang Maoliu turned to look at Wen Jianyan in bewilderment and asked.

Although the rules of this dungeon have not been fully grasped, but it is just the tip of the iceberg they see now, which already makes them feel chills behind.

If they continue to bring "guests" into Xingwang Hotel according to the dungeon rules, then the dungeons will only become more and more dangerous as time goes by.

You know, they are going to stay here for three full days.

If each anchor team can pull in a ghost every time the lights are turned off... They can't imagine how terrifying it will be when this dungeon progresses to the middle and late stages.

But... If they don't act at all, in such an advanced dungeon, it is basically the same as suicide.

The anchor was forced into a dilemma.

If you don't do anything, you must die, but if you follow the rules, you may be worse than death.

Wen Jianyan didn't answer.

He seemed to have thought of something, lowered his head, and took out the small hard black leather book from his pocket.

Although it has just been in the rain for so long that the whole body is soaked, its paper is still dry, without any trace of dampness.

Opening the book, a few lines of scarlet words came into view.

Practice employee assessment

1 Please welcome a guest to check in at Xingwang Hotel

...the content did not increase.

Wen Jianyan's heart sank.

This also means that what to do next and how to do it can only be decided by themselves.

The rest of the team stood in place, waiting quietly.

Wen Jianyan put the notebook back into his pocket, looked up at the people in front of him, took a deep breath, and seemed to have finally made up his mind: "...let's go."

"Where are you going?" Yun Bilan asked, "Go to the next room?"

"No."

Wen Jianyan shook her head.

He turned his head to look towards the end of the corridor, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly, "Go downstairs."

go downstairs? !

Everyone was taken aback.

No one could have imagined that Wen Jianyan would make such an unexpected decisionneither to exchange known clues with other members of the Red Party, to control the difficulty of the hotel's next risk, nor to find the next painting Room, ready to pull in the next guest for the hotel...

Wen Jianyan raised his eyes.

Just coming out of the small town, his brows, eyes and hair are still wet, with a sense of embarrassment and fragility, but those light-colored eyes are like the surface of a calm lake, calm and deep.

He said:

"In any case, [Prosperous Hotel] is against the Ben, isn't it?"

The others were startled.

really.

In Nightmare, there are very few confrontation or team raids. What Yun Bilan and Chen Mo have experienced the most is the normal dungeon with a team as a unit. In addition, although the dungeon of [Prosperous Hotel] is a confrontational dungeon, but This element has been unexpectedly weakened.

Since they entered the capital, they have not seen any members of the black team, and the rules they have figured out now have nothing to do with the opposing team. Therefore, after experiencing a life-and-death crisis, they more or less They all ignored the essence of this dungeon

confrontation,

In other words, even if they haven't discovered the rules yet, all the rules in this copy must be closely related to this.

It's like a landmine that doesn't know where it is buried, and it will explode when you step on it.

[Integrity First] Live Room:

"Good guy, I've watched a lot of live broadcasts, and this is the first time I've seen an anchor who is so familiar with nightmare routines..."

"Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, you can see where the pit may be buried at a glance. This is a real cow."

"Speaking of it, I'm also very curious. I really don't know where the book confrontation [Prosperous Hotel] is. I remember that it was just an level ordinary book before it was closed?"

"Yes, indeed, I didn't expect that this re-opening will not only increase the difficulty, but even the category of the book will be different. I'm really curious about what has changed!"

"There are still three hours before the lights are turned off," Wen Jianyan looked at the others, "Let's go downstairs and take a look during this time."

It should not be too late.

If the person on the opposite side digs out the rules first, they will be the ones who are cheated. More importantly, because as time goes by, the number of ghosts in Xingwang Hotel will only increase. By then, It may be even more difficult for them to act in a hotel full of dangers.

"Stairs or elevator?"

Chen Mo asked.

Wen Jianyan: "Of course it's the stairs."

Taking an elevator is too risky.

Not to mention whether there will be any hidden risks inside, the most important thing is that it will display the floor it is on, that is to say, as long as someone on the opposite side sees the elevator coming down from the fourth floor, they will know their movements and block the door when the time comes , they are done.

A group of people walked towards the safe passage shown on the map.

The door of the safe passage was wide open, there was no light inside, and the narrow and long stairs led down, hidden in the darkness.

"Prepare the invisibility props."

Wen Jianyan turned her head and instructed the people behind her.

You know, they took the initiative to go deep into the enemy line this time... Although he has never met his predecessor No. 8, there are gentlemen in the opposite camp, and there is also Bai Xue with obvious appearance in their team, so basically It is impossible to hide their identities. If they are really unlucky and bump into the black army, they can also use this to avoid conflicts.

And one more important point...

Wen Jianyan knew clearly that in this dungeon, Black Fang also had a senior anchor with the same experience as himself. Since he could think of going to Black Fang's area to investigate, there was obviously no ideal for the other side.

Then, they have to pay more attention not to run into the black team.

Wen Jianyan is very clear that when it comes to the hard power of fighting, they are absolutely no match for the opponent.

"Huang Mao, you walk beside me and pay attention to the front."

After making all the preparations, Wen Jianyan took a deep breath and walked towards the dark stairwell.

The floor height of Xingwang Hotel is not high. Although they moved cautiously and slowly, they quickly descended the stairs to the third floor.

The third floor was very quiet, almost no one was there.

A group of people continued to walk down.

The lower you go, the quieter everyone is.

They deliberately slowed down their pace, and walked down the stairs lightly, even the sound of breathing was extremely light, walking quietly through the darkness like cats.

Soon, the second floor arrived.

"Go and see."

Wen Jianyan winked at Huang Mao.

Huangmao nodded, poked his head out cautiously, and looked around carefully.

After a few seconds, he retracted and whispered to Wen Jianyan:

"Report, no one."

"Okay." Wen Jianyan nodded, and waved to the people behind him: "Let's go."

A group of people stepped lightly, sneaked out of the stairwell, and entered the corridor on the second floor of Xingwang Hotel.

The structure here is almost exactly the same as the fourth floor.

Narrow and closed corridors, yellow and old wallpaper on the walls on both sides, thick carpets under the feet, and dark red, oppressive lights that make you breathless.

Wen Jianyan walked forward while looking at the guest rooms on both sides.

The doors of the guest room were all tightly closed, and there was a dead silence inside, no footsteps could be heard, and the movement of light and shadow could not be understood. It seemed that they were all empty, without any trace of human activities.

He wasn't going into any of the rooms.

The first room they enter will "remember" them based on previous experience.

After lights out, no matter where they were, the room they were in would also be the original onejust like 408 on the fourth floor.

Obviously, just like the third floor is to the red side, the second floor is also an area where the black side does not set foot too much.

In other words, the information they can collect here will not be much more than that on the third floor, and there will hardly be any breakthroughs.

unless

Wen Jianyan suddenly stopped his pace, his eyes fell on the safe passage not far away, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

The yellow hair on the side noticed the direction of his gaze, shivered suddenly, and widened his eyes in horror: "Wait a minute! You, you don't mean to..."

Want to go down to the first floor! !

Wen Jianyan turned his head and grinned at Huangmao, looking extraordinarily gentle and harmless:

"Anyway, it's all here."

Huangmao: "."

The fist hardened.

[Integrity First] Live Room:

"Hahahahahahaha, gods are here!"

"Laughing to death, the yellow-haired cutie's expression is distorted. Fear and wanting to kill people don't conflict!"

"Fuck, I didn't expect that they dared to rush to the enemy's base camp not long after the dungeon started...fuck it."

So, under Wen Jianyan's clever words, the group of people was once again fooled into the stairwell and walked towards the first floor.

Knowing that they were about to enter the black area, everyone became more cautious.

They just hold the props and are always ready to activate.

Soon, the first floor arrived.

The layout of the second floor is different. In the center of the first floor is a hall similar to the fourth floor, even larger in size. The front desk responsible for registration is empty, and there is no one waiting for orders.

Moreover, unlike the excessive silence on the second floor, as soon as they entered the first floor, they immediately heard faint footsteps and conversations coming from a distance.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat, and they hurriedly dodged to hide in the darkness, waiting quietly.

After the sound of footsteps disappeared, everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Huang Mao poked his head out and looked carefully for a while. After confirming that there was no one around, he cautiously nodded to Wen Jianyan: "You can come out."

Led by Wen Jianyan, the group sneaked out of the stairwell.

Although he only saw the map once, Wen Jianyan had already deeply remembered the contents of the map.

He walked quickly along the corridor, his eyes swept across the guest room beside him, as if he was looking for something.

The yellow hair who has no experience in this is not so natural.

He followed Wen Jianyan closely, his face was pale, his heart was about to burst out of his throat, he looked around like a frightened rabbit, and would jump up at the slightest sign of trouble.

"Team, captain, us, when can we leave?"

Huang Mao asked with a mournful face.

"It's almost there." Wen Jianyan said perfunctorily.

As he spoke, he carefully looked at the rooms in front of him, his eyes passing over the house numbers above.

Wen Jianyan frowned slightly.

He turned to look at his teammates beside him: "Did you find out, these room numbers..."

"It's all consecutive numbers."

Chen Mo squinted his eyes and answered.

"Huh? What does that mean?"

Huang Mao swallowed his saliva and asked.

Chen Mo: "It means that the opposite side should be the same as us, and they also came from ignorance. If they also successfully receive the guests, there is a high probability that the room numbers here will also change."

He turned his head and glanced at the corridor behind him.

"However, from the way we just walked, every room is numbered, and there is no confusion."

Huang Mao looked blank: "So...?"

Wen Jianyan seemed to suddenly think of something.

He lowered his head, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, found the photo in the album and took a look: "Follow me!"

After speaking, he ran quickly.

The others were startled, and before they had time to ask further questions, they hurriedly followed.

Fortunately, the area on the first floor was as large as the fourth floor. They were lucky, and they didn't really meet any members of the black team along the way.

Soon, Wen Jianyan stopped.

He raised his eyes and looked towards the room in front of him.

"This is..." Yun Bilan followed his line of sight, startled suddenly.

Above the door is a rusty house number.

Three numbers are clearly written on it:

408

Below the room number, there is a small light of [Do Not Disturb].

Everyone was shocked, showing a look of astonishment:

"Wait a minute... Isn't this the first floor?"

Why is room 408 that they just left appearing here? !

"So that's how it is." Wen Jianyan withdrew his gaze, looked at the crowd, and said slowly, "It seems... the whole hotel is a mirror image."

That's why he was able to find this room with precision.

As long as the entire hotel map is taken as the central axis on the second floor, and the map is folded in half, the room that 408 should correspond to on the first floor can be found from above.

In other words, the number of rooms in [Xingwang Hotel] is actually only half of what is shown on the map.

And the reason why they saw that the rooms on the first floor are all consecutive numbers is probably not because the people from the black party did not invite any guests when the lights were turned off last time, but because...

They belong to [Red Fang], so they cannot see where the guests invited by Black Fang are.

Members of this team will not take the initiative to enter a room with ghosts.

Unless... the ghost in that room was invited by members of the opposite faction's team.

At the beginning of the dungeon, the number of rooms occupied by each party is not large, so there will not be too much overlap.

However, as time goes by, sooner or later, one of their teams will enter the room occupied by the guests invited by the other team.

However, that room is already occupied by [residents].

Residents are not human.

One can imagine what might have happened then.

The moment they realized this, everyone couldn't help shivering, feeling a chill rise from the soles of their feet, making their scalps numb and their hairs standing on end.

At this time, they finally realized how dangerous this dungeon was.

If you don't actively invite ghosts to stay, then the hotel room will be occupied by ghosts invited by the opposite team.

You know, after the lights are turned off at night, the anchors must stay in the room.

In other words, the more ghosts are invited, the more likely they are to draw dangerous rooms. Therefore, in order to survive, they will have to invite more guests for [Xingwang Hotel].

Even if both parties are clear, the more ghosts there are in the hotel, the more terrifying it will be in the later stage of the dungeon.

However, in order to increase their chances of survival, they still have to drag one guest after another into the Prosperous Hotel, entering a vicious circle from which they cannot escape.

This is literally rolled to death.

[Integrity First] Live Room:

"! It turns out that this dungeon is played like this!"

"Good guy... I seem to understand why the difficulty level of this dungeon has been increased. It is like getting a one-way ticket to **** for a senior anchor to enter here. According to this mechanism, the stronger the anchor who is put into this dungeon , the higher the efficiency, the more terrifying the difficulty will be in the later stage, if they are all rookies, the survival rate may be higher."

"And this is still the first day, I guess this dungeon still has a lot of other tricks to do, believe it or not!"

Wen Jianyan lowered his head and looked at the screen of the phone in his hand.

The screen has not been turned off automatically, and the map of [Xingwang Hotel] is displayed on it.

He squinted his eyes, and subconsciously glanced at his hand holding the phone. The dark Ouroboros ring shone with a metallic icy luster under the light, and it was wrapped around his fingertips heavily.

...mirror image?

Just when the air was dead silent, and everyone was frightened by their own guesses about this dungeon, and fell into a long period of contemplation, suddenly, in one of the corridors in the distance, there were faint footsteps and conversations without warning. .

Everyone was shocked, and looked in the direction of the sound as if waking up from a dream.

Oops! Black's team is probably coming!

"Walk!"

Wen Jianyan reacted quickly. He waved and led the team members to withdraw in the opposite direction. However, before he had taken a few steps, there was a "click" sound from a door in front of him.

Not far away, the door of a guest room was pushed open.

The second black team rushed out of the guest room, dripping wet, and entered the corridor.

Wen Jianyan's pupils shrank.

Flanking forward and backward.

There is no escape.
