Chapter 289

""

Bai Xue lowered her white eyelashes again without making any response.

Wen Jianyan smiled softly and retracted his hand without any concern.

He turned to look at Huang Mao aside: "How are you? Did you find any clues in the room?"

Huang Mao shook his head and whispered: "It's all quite normal."

...even a little too normal.

There is no blood, no severed limbs, and no weird props. It is no different from any ordinary hotel room. In the dungeon, such a room is really rare.

The only thing that makes people feel weird is probably the painting facing the bed.

It was a very large painting, covering almost half of the wall. It was very inconsistent with the size of the room. Inside the heavy wooden frame, there was a painting with a very gloomy atmosphere.

A gloomy, rainy gray sky with crumbling houses in the distance.

A woman in white clothes stood in the window of the house, her face blurred and pale, and her facial features could not be seen clearly.

The whole painting looks gloomy, weird and uncomfortable, especially not suitable for placing in a hotel room.

But other than that, nothing is different.

Wen Jianyan nodded and glanced at his ID card again.

All the information above is still not unlocked.

It seems that the instance has not officially started yet, so there is no point in continuing to stay in this room.

"Let's go out and take a look."

With that said, Wen Jianyan put the phone back in his pocket and walked out the door first.

The team members followed closely behind.

Bai Xue didn't say a word, but he also took steps. He kept a close distance from the team and followed them from a distance, looking very unsociable.

The style of the corridor is very consistent with the interior of the hotel room.

The walls on both sides are narrow and cramped, with reddish-brown wallpaper and carpets. The overall atmosphere seems gloomy and heavy, making people breathless.

On both sides of the corridor are closed guest room doors.

It is also a blood-like reddish brown, and the decorative gold plating on the door handle has faded, showing a cheap color.

The room number is printed on the door.

Wen Jianyan turned around and glanced at the room he walked out of.

[408]

Apparently, he is currently on the fourth floor of the hotel.

At this moment, a voice shouted not far away: "Hey! What are you doing over there?"

Wen Jianyan turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound.

A middle-aged man with a strong build and a delicate beard on his cheeks stood not far away. Behind him, there were two young people, one man and one woman, with expressions on their faces that were far from friendly.

"You don't know that you can't officially start fighting if you don't have all the members."

"Excuse me."

Wen Jianyan blinked.

Under the dark red light, the young man's expression looked particularly sincere, even a little shy. As he led the team members towards the middle-aged people, he said: "This is our first time to participate in this type of dungeon."

, not very familiar with the rules.”

The strangers looked at them up and down with strange eyes, and one of them pointed behind him, "Okay, go and meet the others in the lobby."

"What about you?" Wen Jianyan asked.

"Of course we are looking for other teams." The middle-aged man with a beard sneered, not knowing who he was targeting, "...a group of inexperienced novices."

Wen Jianyan smiled good-naturedly, seemingly not understanding the sarcasm in the other person's words:

"Okay, let's go first."

The two teams passed each other.

Following the direction pointed by the bearded man, Wen Jianyan and others quickly arrived at the end of the corridor.

The narrow field of vision suddenly widened, and what appeared in front of him was a vast hall. Under the chandelier, there was a thick dark red sofa.

There are already many anchors waiting here.

Wen Jianyan glanced at it roughly.

——At least a hundred people.

This is just the red square.

It seems that [Xingwang Hotel] is a large-scale multiplayer game, and the number of participants is even comparable to the Fantasy Amusement Park he participated in before.

He and his team members quietly stood in a corner and began to wait quietly.

――Everyone is safe until the instance officially starts.

Unfortunately, this safe state will not last long.

Soon, the anchors they had just met came back, followed by several other teams.

All red anchors have officially arrived.

The moment the last person stepped into the hall, the system's mechanical announcement sounded in everyone's ears at the same time:

"Welcome to the host to enter the S-level dungeon. This dungeon is a confrontational limited-time dungeon with a duration of three days. Hosts are requested to check their identity cards in time and complete the main mission."

Contrary to the difficulty rating of the dungeon, the system broadcast this time was extremely brief.

and

three days

There are very few dungeons in Nightmare that last for more than one day. Unexpectedly, this dungeon lasted for three days.

It is difficult to say whether this change is good or bad.

Since it is three days, it means that this dungeon should not be like the other dungeons, which are violent and do not give people any chance to breathe. Instead, there will be a certain safe time for the anchor to rest.

But the same…

The increase in the time spent in the dungeon also means that the difficulty of survival increases.

When each dungeon enters the later stage, the difficulty will gradually increase with time. If the total duration of a dungeon is three days...

[Xingwang Hotel] What kind of scene will this copy present in the end?

Wen Jianyan couldn't imagine it for the time being.

After the system announcement ended, Wen Jianyan lowered his head and turned on his phone.

Sure enough, the ID card has been refreshed.

【ID card】

Name: Wen Jianyan (red square)

Age: 23

Occupation: Intern employee of Xingwang Hotel

Related plot: none

[Initial survival time has been allocated: 12:00:00]

[The main mission has been refreshed: complete the intern employee assessment and become a regular employee of Xingwang Hotel]

The copy is limited to three days, and the initial allocation has a survival time of twelve hours.

According to common sense, other people's survival is only a lot longer than his.

No matter how you say it, the survival mechanism of this copy is too loose, and I am really sorry for its rating...

Wen Jianyan narrowed his eyes.

Or...

The real danger of this copy is deeply hidden.

So much so that it cannot be exposed through superficial mechanisms at all.

While he was deep in thought, suddenly, a dull "gurgling" sound came from the end of the corridor not far away, like a heavy cart being pushed towards the hall. The whispers in the hall fell silent.

All the anchors turned their heads at the same time and looked warily in the direction of the sound.

Soon, a man wearing formal clothes, who looked like a formal employee of the hotel, walked in.

He was pushing a small metal cart in his hand, with a formulaic smile on his face and his eyes that barely moved, giving people an indescribable feeling of weirdness and stiffness.
