Welcome to the Nightmare Live

Chapter 296

Dark red lights flickered overhead, illuminating the narrow hallway that was deserted.

The sound of heavy and rapid breathing echoed in the long and narrow corridor of dead silence.

Wen Jianyan let go of the door handle in her hand, slowly took two steps back, and her eyes fell on the closed hotel room door.

Above the small light that slowly lights up and shows the word "Do Not Disturb", there is a small iron piece on the door that is deeply penetrated. The numbers on it are mottled over time, but in the dark red light down, but it is very clear-

408

Wen Jianyan narrowed her eyes.

He remembered that this was the room number he was in when he first entered the copy, and it was in room 408 that he first saw the portrait of a woman in white with a blurry face.

That is to say...

In this copy, the room number is not strictly fixed, but follows the portrait in the room.

"Me, what shall we do next?"

Huang Mao Liu Shen turned his head to look at Wen Jianyan and asked.

Although the rules of this dungeon have not been fully understood, just the tip of the iceberg they are seeing now has made them feel chills behind their backs.

If they continue to bring "guests" into the Thrive Hotel according to the rules of the copy, the copy will only become more and more dangerous over time.

You know, they have to stay here for three whole days.

If every anchor team can pull in a ghost every time the lights are turned off... They can't imagine how terrifying it will be when this dungeon is in the middle and late stages.

But... if they don't act at all, in such an advanced copy, it is basically no different from suicide.

The anchor was forced into a dilemma.

If you do nothing, you must die, but if you follow the rules, you might be better off dead.

"..."

Wen Jianyan didn't answer.

He seemed to have thought of something, lowered his head, and took out the hard black leather notebook from his pocket.

Although it had just been in the rain for so long that it was soaking wet, its pages were still dry, and there was no sign of dampness.

Opening the book, a few lines of scarlet words came into view.

【Assessment of intern employees】

【1. Please welcome a guest to enter the Xingwang Hotel for check-in】

...the content did not increase.

Wen Jianyan's heart sank.

This also means that what to do next, how to do it, can only be decided by themselves.

The rest of the team stood there, waiting quietly.

Wen Jianyan put the book back in his pocket, raised his eyes to look at the people in front of him, took a deep breath, and seemed to finally make up his mind: "...let's go."

"Where to go?" Yun Bilan asked, "Go to the next room?"

"Do not."

Wen Jianyan shook his head.

He turned his head to look at the end of the corridor, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly, "Go downstairs."

downstairs? !

Everyone was taken aback.

No one could have imagined that Wen Jianyan would make such an unexpected decision - neither to exchange known clues with other members of the red party, to control the difficulty of the hotel's subsequent risks, nor to look for the next one with pictures. room, ready to pull in the next guest for the hotel...

Wen Jianyan raised her eyes.

Just after coming out of the town, the tips of his eyebrows, eyes and hair were still wet, with a bit of embarrassing vulnerability, but those light-colored eyes were like a calm lake, calm and deep.

He said:

"In any case, [Xingwang Hotel] is against Ben, isn't it?"

The others were startled.

……really.

In the nightmare, the number of confrontation books and team books is very small. Yun Bilan and Chen Mo have experienced the most, or the ordinary dungeon with the team as a unit. In addition, although this dungeon of [Xingwang Hotel] is against this dungeon, but This element was unexpectedly weakened.

Since they entered the book, they haven't seen any member of Black until now, and the rules they have figured out so far have nothing to do with the opponent's team. Therefore, after experiencing a life-and-death crisis, they have more or less All ignore the essence of this copy——

confrontation,

That is to say, even if they haven't discovered the rules yet, all the rules in this copy must be closely related to this.

It's like a landmine that doesn't know where it's buried, it will explode if you don't know when you step on it.

[Integrity First] Live Room:

"Good guy, I've watched a lot of live broadcasts, and this is the first time I've seen an anchor who is so familiar with Nightmare routines..."

"Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, you can see where the hole may be buried at a glance. This is a real cow."

"Speaking of which, I'm also very curious. I really don't know where the confrontation of [Xingwang Hotel] is. I remember that it was just an A-level ordinary book before it was closed?"

"Yes, indeed, I didn't expect that this reopening will not only increase the difficulty, but even the category of the book is different. I'm really curious about what has changed!"

"There are still three hours until the next time the lights are turned off," Wen Jianyan looked at the other people: "Take advantage of this time, let's go downstairs and take a look."

It should not be too late.

If the people on the opposite side dig out the rules first, they will be the ones who will be pitted. More importantly, because as time goes by, the number of ghosts in Xingwang Hotel will only increase. By then, It would be even more difficult for them to act in a crisis-ridden hotel.

"Take the stairs or the elevator?"

Chen Mo asked.

Wen Jianyan: "Of course it's the stairs."

Taking the elevator is too risky.

Not to mention whether there are any hidden risks in it, the most important thing is that it will show the floor, that is to say, as long as someone on the opposite side sees the elevator coming down from the fourth floor, they will definitely know their movement, and then block the door. , they are finished.

The group walked towards the safe passage shown on the map.

The door of the safe passage was wide open, there was no light inside, and the narrow and long stairs led down, hidden in the darkness.

"Get your stealth props ready."

Wen Jianyan turned her head and instructed everyone behind her.

You know, they took the initiative to go deep into the enemy line this time... Although he has not met his predecessor No. 8, there are gentlemen in the opposite camp, and their team also has Bai Xue with too obvious appearance characteristics, so basically It is impossible to hide their identities on the top, and if they are really unlucky and run into a large army of Black, they can also avoid conflicts.

And one more important point...

Wen Jianyan knew clearly that in this dungeon, Black also had a senior anchor who had the same experience as himself. Since he could think of going to Black's area to investigate, there was obviously no ideal on the other side.

Then, they have to be more careful not to meet Black's squad.

Wen Jianyan knew very well that in terms of hard power, they were absolutely no match for the other side.

"Huang Mao, you walk next to me and pay attention to the front."

After making all preparations, Wen Jianyan took a deep breath and walked towards the dark stairwell.

The height of the Xingwang Hotel is not high. Although they acted cautiously and at a very slow speed, they quickly went down the stairs to the third floor.

The third floor was very quiet, almost no one was there.

The group continued to walk down.

The further down, the quieter the crowd.

They deliberately stopped their pace and walked down the stairs lightly, even breathing very lightly, walking silently through the darkness like cats.

Soon, the second floor arrived.

"Go and see."

Wen Jianyan winked at Huang Mao.

Huang Mao nodded, stuck his head out cautiously, and carefully observed left and right.

After a few seconds, he shrank back and whispered to Wen Jianyan:

"Report, no one."

"Okay." Wen Jianyan nodded and beckoned to the people behind him: "Go."

The group of people walked lightly, sneaked out of the stairwell, and entered the corridor on the second floor of the Xingwang Hotel.

The structure here is almost identical to the fourth floor.

The narrow and closed deep passage, the yellow and old wallpaper on the walls on both sides, the thick carpet under the feet, and the dark red, breathless and oppressive lights.

Wen Jianyan walked forward while looking at the guest rooms on both sides.

The doors of the guest rooms were all tightly closed, and there was a dead silence inside, no footsteps could be heard, and the shaking of light and shadow could not be understood. It seemed that they were all empty, and there was no trace of human activity.

He wasn't going to enter any room.

From previous experience, the first room to enter will "remember" them.

After the lights go out, no matter where they were, the room they're in will also be the one they started with - just like 408 on the fourth floor.

Obviously, just like the third floor is to the red side, the second floor is also an area where the black side does not get involved too much.

That is to say, the information they can collect here will not be much more than the third floor, and there will hardly be any breakthroughs.

unless……

Wen Jianyan stopped abruptly, his eyes fell on the safe passage not far away, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

Huang Mao, who was on the side, noticed the direction of his line of sight, and shivered suddenly, his eyes widened in horror: "Wait a minute! You, don't you think..."

Think about going down to the first floor! ! !

"..."

Wen Jianyan turned her head and grinned at Huang Mao, looking extraordinarily gentle and harmless:

"Anyway, come here."

Yellow Hair: "."

Fist hardened.

[Integrity First] Live Room:

"Hahahahahaha God is coming!"

"Laugh to death, the cute little yellow-haired expression is distorted, fear is not in conflict with the knife-minded person!"

"Grass, I really didn't expect that they would dare to go to the enemy's base camp soon after the dungeon started... the bull's bull."

So, under Wen Jianyan's eloquent words, the group was fooled into the stairwell again and walked towards the first floor.

Since they knew that they were about to enter the black area, everyone became more cautious.

They just held the props and were always ready to activate.

Soon, the first floor arrived.

Unlike the layout on the second floor, there is a hall similar to the fourth floor in the center of the first floor, and the area is even larger. The front desk responsible for registration is empty, and no one is waiting.

Moreover, unlike the excessively quiet on the second floor, as soon as they entered the first floor, they immediately heard faint footsteps and conversations in the distance.

Everyone's heart jumped, and they hurriedly ducked into the darkness and waited quietly.

After the footsteps were gone, everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Huang Mao stuck his head out and looked at it carefully for a while. After confirming that there was no one else nearby, he cautiously nodded to Wen Jianyan: "You can come out."

Under the leadership of Wen Jianyan, the group sneaked out of the stairwell.

Although he had only seen the map once, Wen Jianyan had already deeply remembered the contents of the map in his heart.

He walked quickly along the corridor, his eyes swept across the guest room next to him, as if he was looking for something.

The inexperienced yellow hair is not so natural.

He followed Wen Jianyan closely, his face was pale, his heart was about to pop out of his throat, he looked around like a frightened rabbit, and he would jump up if there was a slight disturbance.

"Team, captain, us, when are we going to leave?"

Huang Mao asked with a sad face.

"It's coming soon." Wen Jianyan said perfunctorily.

As he spoke, he carefully looked at the guest rooms in front of him, his eyes passing over the house number above.

"..."

Wen Jianyan frowned slightly.

He turned to look at his teammates beside him: "Have you found out, these room numbers..."

"It's all consecutive."

Chen Mo narrowed his eyes and answered.

"Huh? What does that mean?"

Huang Mao swallowed his saliva and asked.

Chen Mo: "It means that the opposite side should be like us, and they have also figured it out from ignorance. If they also successfully received the guests, then the room number here will most likely change."

He turned his head and glanced at the corridor behind him.

"However, from the way we have just walked, every room is connected, and there is no confusion."

Huang Mao looked blank: "So...?"

Wen Jianyan seemed to suddenly think of something.

He lowered his head, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, found the album photo and glanced at it: "Follow me!"

After saying that, he ran quickly.

The others were stunned, and before they could ask more questions, they hurriedly followed.

Fortunately, the area on the first floor was as wide as the fourth floor. They were lucky, and they didn't really encounter any Black members along the way.

Soon, Wen Jianyan stopped.

He raised his eyes and looked towards the room in front of him.

"This is..." Yun Bilan followed his line of sight and was stunned.

Above the door is a rusted house number.

Three numbers are clearly written on it:

【408】

Below the room number, there is a small "Do Not Disturb" light.

Everyone was shocked and showed a stunned expression:

"Wait a minute... isn't this the first floor?"

Why did room 408, which they just left, appear here? !

"So it is," Wen Jianyan retracted her gaze, looked at the crowd, and said slowly, "It seems... the whole hotel is a mirror image."

That's why he was able to find this room with precision.

As long as the entire hotel map takes the second floor as the central axis, and fold the map in half, you can find the room 408 should correspond to on the first floor from above.

In other words, the number of rooms in [Xingwang Hotel] is actually only half of the number shown on the map.

And the reason why they saw that the rooms on the first floor were all consecutive numbers was not because the people on the black side did not invite any guests when the lights were turned off last time, but because...

They are from the [Red Team], so they cannot see where the guests invited by the Black Team are.

Members of this team will not take the initiative to enter the room with ghosts.

Unless... the ghost in that room was invited by a member of the opposing faction squad.

At the beginning of the dungeon, the number of rooms occupied by each side is not large, so there will not be too much overlap.

However, as time goes by, sooner or later, one of their teams will enter the room occupied by the guests invited by the other team.

However, that room was already occupied by the 【Guest】.

The guests are not human.

You can imagine what might happen then.

At the moment of realizing this, everyone shuddered and felt a chill rise from the soles of their feet, causing their scalps to tingle and their hair to stand on end.

At this time, they finally realized how sinister this copy was.

If you don't invite ghosts to stay, then the hotel room will be occupied by ghosts invited by the opposing team.

You know, after the lights are turned off at night, the anchors must stay in the room.

That is to say, the more ghosts are invited on the opposite side, the higher the probability that they will be drawn into dangerous rooms. Therefore, in order to survive, they will have to invite more guests in for [Xingwang Hotel].

Even if it is clear to both parties, the more ghosts there are in the hotel, the more terrifying it will be in the later stages of the dungeon.

However, in order to improve the odds of survival, they would still have to pull guests one after another into the [Xingwang Hotel], entering a vicious circle that cannot be escaped.

- This is literally rolled to death.

[Integrity First] Live Room:

"! It turns out that this copy is played like this!"

"Good guy... I seem to understand why the difficulty level of this dungeon has increased. The senior anchors enter here, it is like getting a one-way ticket to hell. According to this mechanism, the anchors who are put into this dungeon are more Strong, the higher the efficiency, the more terrifying the difficulty will be in the later stage, if all of them are chickens, the survival rate may be higher.”

"And this is the first day. I guess there are many other tricks to be turned over in this copy, believe it or not!"

Wen Jianyan lowered her head and looked at the phone screen in her hand.

The screen has not turned off automatically, and the map of [Xingwang Hotel] is displayed on it.

He squinted and glanced at his hand holding the phone subconsciously. The pitch-black Ouroboros ring shone with a cold metallic sheen under the light, and was heavily clasped at the base of his finger.

...a mirror image?

Just as the air was dead silent, everyone was frightened by their speculations about this copy, and fell into a long period of contemplation. Suddenly, in one of the corridors in the distance, there were faint footsteps and conversations without warning. .

"!!!"

Everyone was startled, and looked in the direction from which the voice came from as if they had just woken up from a dream.

bad! Black's team is about to come!

"Walk!"

Wen Jianyan reacted quickly, he waved his hand and led the team back in the opposite direction, but before he took a few steps, there was a sudden "click" from a door ahead.

Not far away, the door of a guest room was pushed open.

The second black team rushed out of the guest room wet and entered the corridor.

Wen Jianyan's pupils shrank.

Front and rear pinch.

There is nowhere to run.
