Noisy footsteps and low whispers could be heard from the end of the corridor. The group of people seemed to be frantically searching for the source of the sound, and it shouldn't be long before they found this place.

Wen Jianyan didn't ask any more questions.

After a brief exchange of contact information, the three teams quickly split up.

Wen Jianyan had already firmly memorized the internal structure of the hotel. He led his other team members, held his breath, and quietly went around in another direction, flexibly and skillfully connecting in the complicated corridors. He circled around, skillfully and easily leaving behind the footsteps of his pursuers.

There was a dead silence in the corridor, and only through the wall, the aftermath of chaos could still be vaguely heard.

Overhead is a dim red light, shrouding the narrow, damp corridor.

The doors on both sides of the room were tightly closed, some had a "Do Not Disturb" sign on it, while others didn't, but even so, they didn't dare to break in at will, after all, no one knew if there would be someone inside. There are ghosts pulled in from the small town by the opposing team.

Faint fine lines can be seen everywhere on the ceiling, walls, as if they were cracked from the depths, and they are still cracking.

Wet, cold water seeped out from the cracks in the wall, wetting the carpet, and the blurred patterns on the wallpaper became blurred, and there were gradually deepening water stains everywhere.

"Tick tock", "tick tock." The faint water droplets echoed in all directions.

The hotel is seeping water.

But no one could find the exact location.

A group of people moved forward against the wall, walking lightly, and slipped through the empty corridor like a shadow.

Different from the first day, the air in Xingwang Hotel now has a lot of humidity. Even after staying here for a short time, the skin becomes wet and greasy, and the thin shirt sticks to the body because of it. , giving a very uncomfortable feeling.

Wen Jianyan hooked her neckline with her fingers, and raised her eyes to look forward.

"408" with the door closed appeared not far away.

The door was closed tightly, and the "Do Not Disturb" light was on, emitting a faint light, which was particularly dazzling in the dark corridor.

Their destination has arrived.

Although the house numbers of many hotel rooms had changed, which made it a little more difficult for Wen Jianyan, the overall situation was smooth.

"Are you ready?" Wen Jianyan stood in front of the door and asked.

Huang Mao swallowed his saliva, stared at the Do Not Disturb sign on the door, and then whispered: "Wait a minute, isn't that ghost still inside...?"

"I'm afraid so." Wen Jianyan nodded and said.

"Haven't we been in before? "Chen Mo glanced at Huang Mao, "We are hotel employees of the same camp, so we shouldn't be attacked by the guests he pulled in. "That's what it says...

But that was the first day after all, and no one knows if the rule will still apply today.

However, since they want to return to the broken house at the beginning, they must enter the town through Room 408. In any case, this is a necessary means.

Huang Mao also knows this.

Taking a deep breath, he nodded with determination: "...ready."

After getting an affirmative answer, Wen Jianyan pressed down his palm. The door opened with a "creak".

He took a step forward and stepped into the icy water. Wen Jianyan paused, turned on the flashlight, and shone into the room.

The walls were full of cracks, and there were large black water stains everywhere. Cold water poured in from the gaps, and a layer of shallow water accumulated on the ground, even far beyond the range that the carpet could absorb.

All the furniture, including the bed, was soaked in water, only the surface of the bed was barely dry.

Wen Jianyan narrowed her eyes.

It looked very close to what he had seen in the Ouroboros before.

He turned his head slightly and looked at the wall on one side.

The cracks in the wall were like spider webs, spreading in all directions, one of which was deep. Out of curiosity, or maybe out of some hunch...

Wen Jianyan leaned slightly closer and looked into the crack.

In the next second, his body stiffened suddenly, as if frightened, he took a big step back.

"What's wrong? "Yun Bilan was startled, and hurried forward, "What did you see?" "

Wen Jianyan was still staring at the direction of the crack, his face looked a little pale under the dim light, he took a few deep breaths forcefully, prevented the others from coming forward, and whispered: "...eyes."

"What?" The rest of the people were startled and gasped.

"There are eyes in the cracks in the walls. "Wen Jianyan made up his mind and said. The moment he got close, he clearly saw... an eye peeping through the gap.

After getting an affirmative answer, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill behind their backs.

There are eyes watching them from behind the crack in the wall...?

what does that mean?

Right at this time, suddenly, in the corridor behind, the footsteps that were only wandering and echoing in the distance suddenly began to approach, and the silence in the corridor was gradually being broken.

"Where?"

"...Front...Fast? "

Far away, some almost crazy ravings could be vaguely heard.

From the looks of it, someone in the opposite team should have started using tracking props or talents.

Must act fast.

Wen Jianyan snapped back to his senses, "Let's go."

Now is not the time to hesitate at the door, you must quickly enter the town to get rid of the pursuers.

Under the leadership of Wen Jianyan, a group of people walked quickly into the room.

The door to Room 408 closed behind them.

Wen Jianyan didn't stop, and walked straight to the huge painting.

The numbers on the oil painting have disappeared, and the picture is still the decaying hut standing motionless in the rain. However, unlike before, in this painting, there are also countless faint phantoms.

Outside the door, the sound of messy footsteps got closer.

Wen Jianyan took out the pocket watch from his pocket, and turned the pointer according to the instructions in the employee handbook

"Zizi."

In the corridor outside the door, the lights seemed to flicker slightly, and then dimmed instantly.

Looking through the gap under the door, there was only darkness.

Evidently, darkness had fallen on this small area, and they could enter the town through this door.

Chen Mo stepped forward quickly, groping around the edge of the painting, and soon, he pulled it out very skillfully, only heard a creak, and the frame of the oil painting had become a door, and under his strength, he pulled it out. Open inside.

The familiar rainy town appeared in front of everyone.

However, like the hallway, it seemed to be getting more cloudy here.

The rain was heavy and urgent, crackling on the ground, and the visibility was even lower. Only a faint outline of the distant houses could be seen. And, more importantly...

In that gloomy, dim world, several looming shadows could be clearly seen, standing motionless in the distance, as if waiting for them.

Everyone couldn't help feeling scared.

They didn't expect that the shadows that appeared in the picture... were not a reference, but would actually appear in the town the next day!

"The rain is getting heavier." Chen Mo frowned and looked up at the sky, "We can't last for thirty seconds this time."

"It's okay, don't we still have masks and human leather clothes?" Zhong Shan's face brightened, and he began to **** around, "With the mask, wouldn't we not have to go again this time" He hadn't finished speaking yet. , his face changed greatly, "Wait a minute, where is the mask?" Everyone was shocked and began to check the objects on their bodies.

The human fur coat is still there, but the mask has completely disappeared without knowing when it started.

"No, it won't be"

Huangmao's face is green: "This means, if we want to attend the banquet, we have to go to that street again?"

Yun Bilan didn't seem so surprised, she lowered her head and glanced at the things in her hands, and sneered: "I guessed it."

She knew that this dungeon would not allow them to achieve their goals so easily. On the second day, everyone starts from the same point.

"The good news is that Black should also lose their masks," Chen Mo said, "but there is also bad news..." He frowned, and continued: "Their next destination should also be that mask shop."

That is to say...

They might meet again.

In this period of time when the dungeon has tended to be alienated, it is really not a good thing to be an enemy of an anchor who may have the talent of "ghost control".

Suddenly, Chen Mo realized that since pushing the door, Wen Jianyan seemed to have not spoken for a long time. He turned his head and looked in Wen Jianyan's direction suspiciously: "Captain"

Wen Jianyan didn't answer, just stared at the door thoughtfully, not knowing what he was thinking.

"team leader"

Chen Mo's voice was slightly louder, "What are you looking at?"

"Don't you think the corridor is a bit too quiet?" Wen Jianyan said slowly.

Several people were startled, as if they had come to their senses, subconsciously turned their heads to look in the direction of the door.

Indeed, the corridor was pitch black, with no sound at all. Logically speaking, there seemed to be no major problem, but... before they turned the dial, it was obvious that other anchors were about to catch up to the door. But now why did he suddenly quiet down and give up the hunt? Wen Jianyan frowned, as if lost in thought.

Last night, the Xingwang Hotel was shut down for the whole night. They finally passed the intern employee assessment and became regular employees, and entered the safe "staff dormitory", so they didn't know what happened to Xingwang Hotel. It will become like this in two days, but those anchors who were left in the Xingxing Hotel seemed frightened and crazy.

Could it be...

The reason why they have such a change is because of "lights out"

what happened

"Wait for me." Wen Jianyan walked towards the door.

He looked out through the peephole in the door. It was pitch black outside the corridor, and nothing could be seen.

Wen Jianyan put his hand on the doorknob and pressed it down slowly.

"team leader!"

As if realizing what Wen Jianyan was going to do, there were other nervous voices behind him. ""

Wen Jianyan paused, as if hesitating for a moment.

However, this is probably the only way to know what happened last night. Wen Jianyan took a deep breath, finally made up his mind, and pushed the door carefully.

He looked out.

It was pitch black in the corridor. However, only in this corridor.

Another corridor about ten meters away was still brightly lit, and it was not affected at all.

It seems that the pocket watch can only affect the brightness and darkness of the lights in one corridor, but not the entire hotel. This also means that even if other regular employees adjust the pocket watch time, it should not interfere with other regular employees. range of activities.

In the dark corridor, the sound of water droplets became clearer and more vivid.

"tick", "tick".

The sound of water echoed in the dead silence.

Wen Jianyan lowered his head and looked towards the ground.

Unknowingly, the stagnant water that was originally trapped in the room began to spread into the corridor. Not just this room, but other rooms.

The cold water poured into the dark corridor silently. Under the influence of the distant lights, Wen Jianyan faintly saw that there were countless dark human-like shadows swaying under the water.

As if sensing his gaze, a shadow slowly turned its head, looking in this direction

Wen Jianyan sucked in a breath of cold air, and suddenly shrank back.

He slammed the door shut in front of his eyes.

When Wen Jianyan was peeking out, behind the invisible corner, the dry bed gradually became wet unknowingly. The dark wet marks gradually deepened and gradually formed...

the shape of a person.

Without warning, Bai Xue's voice sounded from behind, "Go quickly."

His voice was always calm, but this time, it had a tone of urgency after a long absence.

Wen Jianyan was startled and turned to look.

I saw that Baixue raised her eyes at some point, staring at the direction of the bed, her lips were tightly pressed, and her whole face was very pale.

Could it be...

As if realizing something, Wen Jianyan moved his eyes downward.

On the ground water near the bed, a dark reflection appeared looming. It looked like a woman in a white dress with a vague face, sitting up from the bed little by little.

After seeing this scene clearly, Wen Jianyan felt a chill run down his spine!

A feeling of trembling suddenly rose.

He immediately recalled that on the first day, when they entered the first floor of the hotel, apart from the 408 guest who was led out, another taller "resident" left after turning off the lights room!

In other words, this period of time happens to be their active time!

There were too few residents before, and this rule was difficult to discover, but now it seems...

Everything is revealed.

Then, after the guests checked in, the lights in the Xingwang Hotel would turn out to be more dangerous than he imagined from being harmless at the beginning!

And look at Bai Xue's appearance...

Could it be that, as the employees who pulled the guests into the hotel, they also lost their immunity from being attacked? !

Wen Jianyan made a decisive decision, "Go and enter the town!"

He ran over in a big stride, putting on the human leather coat while running.

The others also reacted immediately, put on the human leather clothes as quickly as possible, and rushed out of the oil painting.

After all, they are senior anchors, and their reaction and action speed are unmatched by ordinary people. The whole process only took more than ten seconds, and everyone has already rushed into the torrential rain.

The cold rain slapped on his body, bringing an extraordinarily cold pain, which made it almost impossible to open his eyes. Without the restriction of the mask, the human leather clothing on his body was activated rapidly, emitting an unpleasant rotten stench.

"Quick!" Wen Jianyan yelled in the rain.

A group of people rushed forward with all their strength, only seeing the broken house not far away. They are already familiar with the process.

Just get under the roof and the crisis will be lifted!

The distance gradually narrowed.

Coming!

Wen Jianyan rushed in first, followed by Yun Bilan, Chen Mo, then Zhong Shan, Huang Mao, Bai Xue...

Soon, several people stood in the familiar dilapidated house, panting heavily out of breath. The roof blocked the rain and made a crackling sound.

In the space with air leaks on all sides, the panting of everyone echoed.

"Everything okay?"

Wen Jianyan took a deep breath, raised his hand to wipe off the rain on his face. He took off his human leather coat and threw it aside, looking at the others.

Everyone's faces were pale, and they nodded in shock.

Wen Jianyan let out a long sigh of relief, and the tense heartstrings immediately relaxed. He turned his head and glanced outside the door.

The dark and vast rain curtain stretches as far as the eye can see.

For some reason, a thought crossed my mind.

That guy Wu Zhu...

It was normal to disappear in the hotel before, but now they are all back in the town, why haven't they appeared yet?

Wen Jianyan frowned.

Not because he cared too much.

However, this kind of thing is really rare and unreasonable, so he couldn't help but think a little bit. That's all.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at everyone: "Let's go, let's look behind the house."

Their time cannot be wasted.

They nodded, followed Wen Jianyan, and walked quickly into the depths of the room.

Since they had already explored once before, they moved very fast this time and pointed directly at the destination.

Soon, they came to the place where they found the portrait in the first place. The portraits have been taken away, the walls are empty in the dark,

"I remember you were planning to cheat here before." Yun Bilan glanced at Zhong Shan and said coolly. ""

Zhong Shan rubbed the back of his head, with a shy and embarrassed expression: "Isn't this...Isn't it because I don't know Taishan with my eyes? I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

While he was explaining, Wen Jianyan had already stepped forward, and by the light of the flashlight, he carefully looked at the small piece of wall in front of him. Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something, he paused slightly, raised his hand In the past, I fumbled a bit on the dusty walls. Immediately afterwards, with a "click", a crack opened on the wall.

Several people were startled and looked in the direction of the sound.

No, it's not so much a gap...it's more like a secret door.

Behind the portrait of the woman in white, there is actually a door hidden!

Wen Jianyan stood at the door, holding the half-open secret door with one hand.

Several people in the team hurried forward and looked over Wen Jianyan's shoulder.

Not far from the door, a dry well stood quietly.

The dry well was crooked, with overgrown weeds beside it. Although the ropes on it and the wooden shaft for fetching water had rusted, they were still intact.

"This is..."

Huang Mao whispered.

"right.

Wen Jianyan nodded and narrowed her eyes.

That's right, this is the scene in the portrait pointed by the woman in white in the corridor.

The dry well hidden behind the barren house.
