Chapter 66

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Once Puffy Skirt thought about the fact that the scene had been witnessed by other people, her face reddened out of anger. In the end, she stomped off without getting a word in edgewise.

And when she bumped into the Redhead who was watching the commotion at the door to the veranda, she did not even apologise before she ran far away. 61SHnO

Shen Dongqing still found it a little strange: “But I was telling the truth.”

Why did she get angry in spite of him telling the truth?

Zhou Wenyan said: “Don’t concern yourself with her.”

She was merely a player courting her death. TWReP2

However, as he considered the words that Shen Dongqing spoke just now, Zhou Wenyan’s lips quirked up. “Little ancestor?”

Shen Dongqing: “… Can you not call me that?”

If he called him ancestor, wouldn’t he be reminding the both of them that their age gap was too wide?

Zhou Wenyan followed his good advice readily and changed it to a different endearment. Lowering his voice, he added a tinge of ambiguity to his tone as he said: “Little darling?” 5bSxCB

Shen Dongqing’s movements stilled, earlobes going red. Despite how old he was, it was incredibly evident that he was a little pure heart who had experienced nothing in reality.

He lowered his head to evade Zhou Wenyan’s teasing gaze and forked up another piece of cut steak as he mumbled, “Do whatever you want…..”

On the other end, Redhead rubbed the area where she had been bumped into and told the Besuited Man in a low voice: “Perhaps we should forget it……” dzfR 3

Those two individuals did not look like people who could be provoked.

Besuited Man contemplated his options before he decided that they should not bother the pair for now, decisively turning around to leave with the Redhead.

Redhead said: “We’ll just stay vigilant and ensure that we don’t touch anything that can take our lives.”

Besuited relaxed himself slightly, “The minigame I participated in involved a car accident, it’s quite unlikely for there to be cars in a hotel.” RuU3WV

From the start, the possibility of a car accident occurring was miniscule, and he was secured as long as he followed the rules and regulations of the hotel.

Redhead: “Mine was a fire incident, it looks like I’ll have to stay further away from the kitchen.”

As they were conversing, a server was coming up from ahead.

The server was pushing a small dining cart with two bottles of alcohol and a covered dish on top, and he appeared to be sending some guests their candlelight dinner. Vt6U K

As the dining cart was pushed past Redhead, there was some distance between them which was why Redhead hadn’t minded it as she continued to talk to the Besuited Man in a soft voice.

However, for no discernible reason, the dining cart lost control halfway through and knocked into Redhead, causing the alcohol bottle to shatter and spill all its alcohol contents onto Redhead’s person.

The server was extremely anxious, “I’m really sorry.”

Initially, Redhead wanted to blow a fuse but she remembered that this was not an ordinary hotel. Hence, she forcibly suppressed her irritation and waved her hand, saying: “Forget it.” ILQqSM

The server bowed again and again. “I’m truly sorry for this.”

The Redhead could not be bothered to waste more time on the server, and she turned to the Besuited Man and threw down a single sentence, “I’m going back to change my clothes.”

With two bottles’ worth of alcohol being split on her clothes, there was a nauseating smell of alcohol all over her body and she felt sticky and wet all over which was causing her discomfort.

She got on the elevator and pressed the “14th floor” button. BhxpfR

For the entirety of today, nothing strange had occurred in the hotel which soothed some of the usual paranoia that the Redhead had, and that led to her failure in noticing the scorched black handprint that had appeared on the wall behind her.

A burning smell was being emitted.

However, the Redhead did not notice it because the stench of the alcohol was too strong and it covered all the other smells.

Ding—

Zhou Wenyan: “Furniture?”

Shen Dongqing touched his chin with one hand as he said: “Although I’ve never experienced one myself, but this should be a tomb and only dead people can stay here. If a living person were to die in here, they will become a furniture in the tomb, and unless the tomb is destroyed, they’ll be trapped here indefinitely.”

Which was also why the people who had died outside prior to this could appear inside this hotel. Jbd8wi

Zhou Wenyan: “We have to stay here for seven days.”

Shen Dongqing shook his head. “We can’t stay here for seven days. A ghost turns back into a spirit after seven days; if we were to stay in the tomb for seven days, we’ll become ghosts as well due to the constant infusion of yin energy into our bodies.” When he spoke to this point, he paused briefly, “However, it should have no effect on us.”

The reason was that Zhou Wenyan already possessed an enormous amount of yin energy internally, and Shen Dongqing used to be a ferocious ghost and they technically belonged to the ranks of people who could stay inside a tomb.

However, that was not the case for other people. K7HZ0l

Shen Dongqing: “It’s all my fault for forgetting too many things, or else I would have known the moment I stepped in.”

Zhou Wenyan caressed his head, “It’s fine, you might be able to remember in the future.”

Shen Dongqing: “It’s fine even if I can’t remember, it’s enough that there’s good food to eat.” He gave the person beside him a glance and added another sentence, “There’s you too.”

Zhou Wenyan was helpless. Did that mean his position was still below good food? GOq xn

But he had no choice either; he could only work harder and supersede the position that good food held for Shen Dongqing.

Shen Dongqing: “I was thinking……”

Zhou Wenyan: “En?”

Shen Dongqing: “Can we stay here for two more days?” aT ivO

The chefs here made great dishes, the service staff was kind and even the guests here were exceedingly amicable. It gave him the sensation of having arrived home and he would love it if he could stay here for two more days.

While other players were thinking of methods to get out, these two individuals were thinking about staying a few more days— they really could not be compared, or the comparison would anger the other party to death.

After hearing what he said, Zhou Wenyan waved his hand to beckon the attendant.

The attendant walked up to them gingerly, unsure of what these two big bosses wanted to do. He asked: “Do you have any instructions to give?” iPtRB9

Zhou Wenyan asked: “Can we continue staying here?”

The attendant thought he had heard them wrongly as he stared at them with wide eyes and mouth agape. “Huh?”

Generally speaking, most living people staying here would cry and shout about wanting to leave, and there had never been people who asked if they could stay for two more days. This was, frankly, too strange.

Shen Dongqing: “We can’t?” ae0vin

When the attendant recalled the two big bosses’ actions, he stated resolutely and decisively: “No.”

If it were not the fact that he could not check them out on his volition, he would have escorted these two big bosses out a long time ago.

Shen Dongqing was extremely regretful. “Then can we stay here again?”

Despite thinking that he was going to pull the two individuals into the blacklist in his heart, he was still cordial on the surface as he said: “There is no rule in the hotel that allows for a second stay.” wz9ZRJ

Shen Dongqing puffed his cheeks, “That’s truly unfortunate.”

Attendant: Hehe.

At that moment, a series of anxious footsteps sounded from the distance.

Puffy Shirt was panting heavily and her footsteps were a staggering mess, as if some terrifying creature behind that was chasing her, and it was only when she caught a glimpse of Zhou Wenyan and Shen Dongqing that she came to a stop. cgz td

“You, you guys…..” Puffy Skirt huffed and slowed, “I sat on the lift and went to the 14th floor basement!”

It was plain to see that the hotel only had 14 floors and it did not have a basement, but Puffy Skirt had managed to get to the 14th floor basement by taking the elevator and she had witnessed some horrifying scenes.

Zhou Wenyan and Shen Dongqing exchanged glances.

“Let’s take a look.” zA0bCv

Puffy Skirt was still having an unstable state of mind as she brought them before the elevator. Hesitant, she opened her mouth and said: “It’s better if I don’t go down…”

Zhou Wenyan pressed down on Puffy Skirt’s shoulder, refusing to tolerate her rejection. “We’re going together.”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Puffy Skirt’s complexion stiffened.

It was true that she had been to the 14th floor basement and encountered a few things, but she had also parcelled out some of the secrets that the hotel had and she felt that she could make use of it to harm other players. Thus, she had feigned a panicked expression as she ran over to them, wanting to deceive the Besuited Man into going downstairs. And by coincidence, she had seen Zhou Wenyan and Shen Dongqing which made her change her targets. bESi l

Now that she was observing Zhou Wenyan’s reaction, however, she questioned if her act had been seen through.

Due to her uncertainty, Puffy Skirt glanced at the pair covertly.

Zhou Wenyan looked back at her with a smile that was not a smile and Shen Dongqing stood to the side, facial expression brimming with a blasé attitude.

Puffy Skirt retracted her gaze. She recalled the game’s hint of how only one player could walk out of the hotel alive. Since that was the case, they could not blame her for being cruel and ruthless. OluWvd

She made up her mind and said: “Fine, follow me then, it’s just that you should be cautious…”

Once they entered the elevator, it could be seen that an aberrant button had manifested out of nowhere on the original button panel and it was emitting a bloody light as if the number had been written with scarlet red colours.

Puffy Skirt said in a small voice: “It was that negative 14 floor.”

Without making any preparations, Shen Dongqing pressed it, causing the blood light that the -14 floor was emitting to become even denser as if it was oozing blood. oE6pcJ

As the elevator made its slow descent, a multitude of noises could be perceived.

Women weeping and howling, children sobbing, wrathful howls from men……

Puffy Skirt held onto her talisman quietly.

No matter what happened, she had to leave the pair here. 1hE9Ve

If there were people who were well-acquainted with Zhou Wenyan and Shen Dongqing present, and they were clued in on what Puffy Skirt was thinking, they would definitely look at her sympathetically.

Not only would they not warn Puffy Skirt, they would pray for Puffy Skirt silently, hoping that she could reincarnate early and be born again with a better brain.
