The final gentleman

In the guest room, Jin was still sleeping.

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

I quickly got some key information,

Everyone's memory confusion started before [Reunion] and after [Killing Rain Man], which means that "Rain Man's death" obviously had some kind of impact.

After all, it was Rain Man who cursed everyone before his death.

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

The reason why they didn't launch a direct attack on everyone is probably that 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].

Night falls and now, the danger officially arrives.

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

Lorian looked dismissive when he heard this 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 join 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 will the real danger officially begin.

Now it’s more like [prep time].

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

If we continue to refuse 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 a bionic man 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 normal. What is happening in front of you may not be an illusion, but may actually exist.

Of course 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. Outside, there was nothing but a dark city due to curfew.

"Mr. Yi, you will know when you stick your head out and take a look."

Reagan's connection with the android 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 the head sticks out of the window, it's like breaking through a thin paper barrier.

The city scene 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 over here.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a face that was 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, with exactly the same movement.

Afterwards, Yi Chen directly reached 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, things have 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 furious imitator began to claw at his face frantically, and actually removed his 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 saying hello or saying goodbye.

Suddenly, Yi Chen's murderous intention arose!

Like throwing a baseball, he threw the Death Skull in his hand with a spiral force, directly towards the faceless resident opposite.

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

Snapped!

The skull he threw 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 space problem?"

Yi Chen temporarily restrained his murderous intent and stopped paying 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 endlessly in purple.

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

It's the same when you look up. The height of the hotel reaches 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 his perception very difficult. Hard to spread out the window.

"Regan, do you want the android you created to try jumping?"

"I already asked him to jump... 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.

"What kind of method is this..."

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..."

In order to ensure that the mind will not be reversely invaded, the connection between Reagan and the android is completely severed, and only the visual and audio information sent back by the other party is received.

Soon I got three pieces of news.

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. The other guest rooms on the current floor do not exist. After forcibly opening the doors of other guest rooms, they correspond to the walls sealed by cement. Even if the laser is burned to a depth of 103 meters, it still cannot reach the bottom floor.

3. The stairwell marked with a safe passage 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 are 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 opinion 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 they 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 tell him his desperate plan, Jin, who could not wake up with all kinds of noises, actually woke up slowly because of the weak ringtone.

"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? "
