Chapter 4 Check-in
"Who among us is a newcomer? Who has only passed the novice task?" Shen Hui asked in a low voice after looking around.
Pei Shiqing silently raised his hand, "Me."
Qian Yuanyuan also imitated her and raised her hand.
Shen Hui took a breath, "Two newcomers?"
Song Nannan, on the other hand, unexpectedly glanced at the honest and honest Zhang Jianguo. Has he participated in more than two rounds of such a dangerous game?
Shen Hui was still comforting himself, "It's okay, okay, let me ask you, how is your guide's attitude towards you?"
Qian Yuanyuan immediately said: "It's pretty good. It gave me a very important reminder at a critical moment, otherwise I wouldn't have a second chance to play the game."
"Guide?" Pei Shiqing asked confused, what kind of guide?
Her question made the other five people look over, and Zhao Qingbei asked, "Don't you have a guide to guide you?"
"What do you mean?" Pei Shiqing was completely confused.
Song Nannan explained: "Newcomer tasks need to be guided by a guide, which will increase the newcomer's survival rate. Generally, guides will only appear in the game and will remind you when appropriate, but they will only appear in newcomer tasks."
"Furthermore, the attitude of the guide also determines the survival rate of newcomers. Some guides will be better at reminding newcomers how to pass the level alive. Some guides will either not remind newcomers or lead newcomers to a dead end."
It seems that having a guide is not necessarily a good thing, Pei Shiqing thought.
"And the most important thing is that the guide will lead you to find the props. The props will greatly improve our survival rate. It can be said that having props in the game is like having an extra life." Song Nannan's eyes flashed.
When the props were mentioned, several people had different expressions.
"Will this guide stay in the new level until the end? Or will he only appear when reminded?" Pei Shiqing asked again.
"Stay until the end." Zhao Qingbei answered affirmatively.
The rest of the people nodded.
Pei Shiqing was sure that when she was looking for something, there was no one in the room except her and the little boy ghost. As for the props?
She remembered the three question marks that appeared at the end of the game, and she didn't know whether they were there or not.
So why doesn’t she have a guide? Is it because she came from time travel?
Before she could think about it, she saw a slightly bald man with a smile walking over from the front desk, "Have you discussed it? Do you want to book a room in our hotel?"
"Of course." Shen Hui replied immediately, then took out his mobile phone and scanned the code, and the man handed him the door key.
The remaining people also scanned the code to pay and got their own room keys.
When the money was round, she asked: "Boss, can I share a room with her?"
She pointed at Pei Shiqing, who didn't say anything. Anyway, it was good for Pei Shiqing to have someone by his side.
But the boss refused, "My hotel room is too small, only big enough for one person."
"Okay." Qian Yuanyuan was a little disappointed.
"It's okay, you can come to me at night." Pei Shiqing comforted.
Qian Yuanyuan smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Pei Shiqing scanned the numbers on their keys. They seemed to be on the second and third floors. There were three people on each floor, which was pretty average.
"In that case, let's go back to the house first and come out later to discuss it together." Shen Hui continued, as if he had placed himself in a leadership position among the six people.
Song Nannan ignored him and asked the man who booked a room for them, "Are you the owner of this hotel?"
He nodded, "Yes, this hotel was passed down to me by my father. It has been here for more than 20 years."
"Does this hotel have a lot of customers?"
"Hey." The boss sighed, "The economy is in recession now, and this is an old neighborhood. Not many people come here. You are the most people I have seen in the past few months."
Song Nannan wanted to ask something else, but the boss interrupted her directly. He pointed outside and said, "The sun is about to set. You go back to your room to tidy up, and then come down for dinner!"
Zhao Qingbei pushed up his glasses and asked, "Is this dinner provided by the hotel? How much does it cost?"
The boss smiled and said: "It doesn't cost anything. It's all home-cooked food made by my wife. The two of us can't finish it. Let's make more and we can eat together. There will be more people and it will be more lively, and we won't have to go out to eat junk food."
After Zhang Jianguo heard this, he went upstairs without saying a word. Song Nannan also knew that there was nothing more he could ask, so he pulled his suitcase up.
Seeing everyone else going upstairs, Pei Shiqing also took her suitcase up the stairs. She glanced at the key in her hand, which read 305.
She carried her suitcase and climbed to the third floor. Only then did Pei Shiqing realize that the third floor was the highest floor of the hotel, and room 305 was the last room on the third floor.
There are five rooms on the first floor plus a bathroom, and there are a total of fifteen rooms on the three floors. I don't know if there is anyone in the other rooms except for players like them.
Pei Shiqing opened the door with the key and reached out to touch the light switch next to it.
Turn on the lights, and the full view of the house is revealed.
There was only one bed inside, with a long-ago big-headed TV hanging opposite the bed. There was a bedside table next to the bed, and a low wardrobe on one side of the bed. Next to the short wardrobe was a simple table, with a wooden stool underneath.
.
There was an old electric fan hanging above the TV. Pei Shiqing was a little doubtful whether this electric fan could be used.
The whole room is about nine square meters, with a clear view.
There was a fake potted plant on the only small window in the house, and it was already dark outside.
Pei Shiqing locked the door. In addition to its own anti-theft lock, the hotel's door lock also had the ability to lock the door with a latch from the inside. It felt surprisingly safe.
She opened the suitcase, only to find that there was nothing inside. No wonder she was not tired even after carrying it to the third floor.
So the purpose of this suitcase is to confuse others and create the illusion that they are passengers?
Pei Shiqing sat on the bed, thinking about the mission prompts for this game.
First of all, the name of this hotel is very strange. She took a look at it before coming in. It was called Angel Hotel, but why does the game call it the Lost and Found Hotel?
There are also hints that make people’s hair stand on end just by looking at them.
Fortunately, because of his photographic memory, Pei Shiqing memorized the mission instructions verbatim.
Pei Shiqing covered himself with the quilt, making sure that except for his head, his entire body was covered by the quilt.
The so-called lost and found doesn't mean the head, eyes, and clothes mentioned in the prompt, right?
Maybe there are more, but why?
Pei Shiqing is not a very smart person. Her method of answering questions is to constantly ask herself why and how to solve it after finding the reason.
It's a bit funny to say that in the real world, Pei Shiqing is just a furniture designer. She just draws floor plans and renders renderings on the computer. But because she has such a rich imagination, she can imagine even a sentence and even spontaneously say it.
Rendered to an even more terrifying level.
So when Pei Shiqing was thinking about the task prompts, he was thinking about all kinds of strange things. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and all kinds of terrifying images couldn't be shaken off from his mind.
She sighed, could she really survive in this kind of game?
"Dong dong dong." There was a knock on the door, and Pei Shiqing was so frightened that the hairs all over his body stood up.
"Who is it?" Pei Shiqing shouted, looking at the door lock nervously.
"Oh, it's me, the hotel owner. Your friends are waiting for you to have dinner together!" The clear and clear voice of the hotel owner came from outside.
This room was really not soundproof, Pei Shiqing frowned.
But she happened to be a little hungry too.
Just as Pei Shiqing was about to lift the quilt, he suddenly stopped and said, "I feel a little uncomfortable and don't want to go."
"Then I'll bring it to you!"
"No, I'll go to sleep in a while."
"Oh well."
The footsteps outside gradually left, and then there was a knock on the door again, and this time, it seemed that the door was opened...
