Chapter 889: endless hotels

Chapter 889 Endless Hotel

 In the guest room, Jin was still sleeping.

Yi Chen, Lorian and Reagan were sitting around the living room of the suite, combining different memories to conduct sand table deductions, trying to find out the reason for the attack.

 Several key pieces of information were quickly obtained.

 The confusion in everyone’s memories started before [Meeting] and after [Killing Rain Man], which means that “Rain Man’s death” obviously had some influence.

 In the end, it was Rain Man who cursed everyone before his death.

 Or did the death of Rain Man become some kind of inducement, allowing a more terrifying evil to come to the door?

The reason why he did not attack everyone directly is probably because the daytime in this world belongs to the "safe time zone", and the other party can only provide some kind of guidance, and the result of the guidance is this [unknown hotel].

 As night falls, that is now, the danger officially arrives.

Reagan gave his thoughts, "If we could just escape from the hotel, maybe we could get away from this."

Lorian looked dismissive when he heard such a statement.

“You’ve already entered the game, do you still want to escape unscathed? At least as a user of the moon phase illusion, I can’t let those who enter the game escape so easily.

 According to my experience in setting up illusions, some kind of rules are operating inside the hotel. The time we experience is always looping. Only when we trigger certain conditions, the real danger will officially begin.

 It’s more like [preparation time] now.

According to my observation, accepting the ‘manual’ provided by the waiter is likely to be the trigger.

 If we keep refusing to accept the first time, we will be trapped in this time circle, looping endlessly within three hours and never being able to leave. "

After listening to the opinions given by the two people, Yi Chen still tilted his head towards Reagan, "How about using the android to try to escape through the window?"

"waste time."

Although Lorian looked dissatisfied, his eyes still glanced at the android who was about to climb out of the window.

  After all, he never sensed other people's illusions from beginning to end, and his connection with Yue was also normal. What is happening in front of you may not be an illusion, but may actually exist.

 It would be best if you could escape.

 However, when the android rolled out of the window, Reagan was suddenly stunned.

After waiting for a moment, he said slowly in an uneasy tone: "Lorian is right, we have entered the situation, and it is impossible to escape from this hotel unscathed."

"What did you see..." Yi Chen was a little confused. After all, from his current perspective inside the house, everything outside the window looked normal, and outside was just a city that was dark due to curfew.

“Mr. Yi, you will know if you stick your head out and take a look.”

 Reagan’s connection with the androids has been severed.

Yi Chen approached the window cautiously, letting himself be enveloped in death in advance. Even if he stuck his head out and was beheaded, it wouldn't matter.

As my head stuck out of the window, it was like breaking through a thin paper barrier.

 The city scene that I saw inside the house disappeared instantly.

Opposite the window is a hotel that completely blocks the view.

Moreover, a head poked out of the window of the same room in the hotel opposite, currently looking this way.

 Looking carefully, it turned out to be a face exactly the same as Yi Chen's, with the same look of surprise.

After calming down, Yi Chen slowly stretched out his arm, and the people in the hotel opposite also stretched out their arms, and the movements were exactly the same.

  Then, Yi Chen directly reached out and inserted his hand into his own brain, and fished out a skull from the Dead Sea, which exuded a strong smell of death.

  Such skulls only come from the Dead Sea. It is impossible for others to create them. Only Yi Chen, the only believer, is qualified to salvage them.

 Sure enough, the situation has changed!

The ‘copycat’ on the opposite side searched his head for a long time but failed to pull out something equivalent to a Dead Sea skull.

In an instant, the frustrated imitator began to claw at his face frantically, and actually removed the entire face, revealing a smooth faceless face, like a braised egg.

The other party no longer imitated Yi Chen's movements, but shook his arms in a fixed pattern, as if he was saying hello or saying goodbye.

 Suddenly, Yi Chen’s murderous intention arose!

Like throwing a baseball, throw the death skull in your hand with a spiral force, directly towards the faceless resident opposite.

Something strange happened, Yi Chen quickly blocked it with his hands! Snapped!

  The skull thrown by him actually flew back to him, barely catching it with both hands. The faceless man at the opposite window was still shaking his arms at a constant speed, not worried at all that he would be hit.

 “Is it a problem with space?”

Yi Chen temporarily restrained his murderous intent and no longer paid attention to the faceless resident opposite. He turned his head to observe the situation on both sides of his hotel and the hotel opposite.

The next scene he saw was something Yi Chen would never forget. The outer walls of the two hotels had exactly the same structure, painted purple and endless.

 Rows of equally spaced windows continue to extend to the far end, endlessly.

The same thing is true when looking up. The height of the hotel reaches straight into the sky with no end.

Only the scene looking down was relatively normal. There was a busy street about ten floors downstairs... but Yi Chen's perception could not reach the pedestrians below. Some indescribable repulsive force made it difficult for him to sense. Spread out the window.

“Reagan, do you want the android you created to jump down?”

“I’ve already asked him to jump off... The moment he landed, he cut off contact with me, as if he was completely swallowed and chewed by something~ [Jumping off the building] is not an option.”

Yi Chen finally stretched his head back and returned to his seat with a solemn expression.

Lorian, who was originally dismissive, also came to the window and stuck his head out as well. Unexpectedly, the moon that could be sensed normally before disappeared in an instant, and was completely covered by the towering hotel.

                                          ¢

 A negative mentality has developed in Lorian's heart. In his opinion, everyone may die here tonight.

Reagan once again created an android and said: "Since the window exit is not feasible, let's just go out of the guest room and try..."

To ensure that the mind will not be invaded in reverse, the connection between Reagan and the android is completely severed, and only the visual and audio information sent back by the other party are received.

 I got three pieces of news soon.

  1. The stairs at the end of the corridor, no matter which floor you go to, will eventually return to the current floor. There is an infinite distance in the elevator shaft outside the car, both up and down, and there is no way to escape.

  2. None of the other guest rooms on the current floor exist. After forcibly opening the doors of other guest rooms, the corresponding walls are sealed by cement. Even if the laser is burned to a depth of 103 meters, the bottom floor cannot be reached.

  3. The stairwell with the safety passage written on it has a red light on. Once the android walks into it, it will instantly lose contact with Reagan, and no information can be transmitted back. The situation is similar to falling from a building.

 All the 'exits' that can be thought of at present have been sealed, and everyone is sealed in a fixed space.

 Just as Lorian said, now is like the [preparation time] before the game starts.

Once a certain condition is triggered, the real game will begin, the danger will officially arrive, and perhaps the illusory exit will also appear.

 Everyone gathered in the living room again,

“Next time the waiter comes over, are you going to accept the so-called handbook?”

Lorian, who is proficient in illusions, knows very well that once he chooses to comply with the illusion creator's ideas, he will only sink deeper. But in the current situation, he couldn't find a way to break the situation.

 Just when everyone had no opinions for the time being and was forced to wait for the waiter to arrive again,

 Ring, ring, ring! A faint but urgent ringing sounded, as if coming from deep inside the hotel.

  For some reason, when everyone heard this ringtone, everyone felt a sense of redemption in their hearts. It seemed that as long as they found the ringtone, they could escape, or even escape from the current world.

Yi Chen crossed his fingers and touched his nose, looking at the two people in front of him, "Want to take a gamble?"

 “What do you want to do, Mr. Yi?”

Just when Yi Chen was about to reveal his desperate plan, Jin, who was unable to wake up with all kinds of noise, actually woke up slowly due to the faint sound of the ringing.

“Hey! Someone turn off the alarm clock? It’s so noisy!

By the way, what are you guys doing there? You seem very nervous. Have you encountered any problems? Do you need my help? "
