Chapter 320 Prosperous Hotel(1/2)
Chapter 320
At this moment, two buzzing sounds were heard, breaking the dead silence in the room.
Wen Jianyan was startled and subconsciously took a step back away from the oil painting. It took him a few seconds to finally realize that it was his cell phone that rang.
Wen Jianyan lowered his head, took out his cell phone from his pocket, and glanced at it.
"What's wrong?"
Several people on the side watched Wen Jianyan's movements closely and asked quickly when they saw this.
"It's news from Yun Bilan." Wen Jianyan put away the phone and put it back in his pocket, "Zhongshan team and Lockett team met successfully, and everything is going according to plan."
It seems that although Yun Bilan is deeply trapped in the enemy camp, she still found an opportunity to synchronize the progress with them.
————This is the reason why Wen Jianyan chose Yun Bilan to join the "undercover" team of Zhongshan.
Before joining Wen Jianyan's guild, Yun Bilan was the captain of an independent team. Compared with Chen Mo, she was more flexible and adaptable. Compared with Huang Mao, she was bolder, calmer, and daring to take risks. This kind of thing is only suitable for
Apart from Wen Jianyan, only Yun Bilan in the entire team was capable of completing the task alone.
Wen Jianyan took a deep breath, took a final deep look at the oil painting in front of him, and replied.
The heat on the flanks and abdomen penetrated deep into the skin and gradually disappeared. Only a vague warmth remained, indicating that what just happened was not his imagination.
He finally reviewed the clues he had now obtained.
After completely killing a member of Black's team, tenant No. 408 made them a so-called "request".
To complete this requirement, you must enter Rainy Town through Room 329.
The oil painting in Room 329 is obviously very crucial. After all, in this copy using [painting] as the medium, a shop called a painting shop is definitely not an ordinary place.
In any case, this room 329 is closer to the core of the entire copy than he imagined.
Wen Jianyan lowered his eyes and subconsciously turned the Ouroboros ring on his finger. The cold and heavy metal was slightly on the fingertip, making his thoughts clearer.
He now understands one thing——
Something is wrong with room 408.
According to the rules that Wen Jianyan summed up before, the town of Yinyu became what it is now from a certain moment, and all the residents in this town became [in the oil painting] at that moment.
ghost].
However, the woman in black robe in 408 is difficult to fit into this framework.
Its location is not only a long-abandoned shabby house, but also there is no such medium as a "human skin umbrella". Compared with other "residents" in the entire rainy town, it is obviously very different.
It is a special case.
It is a special case closely related to the core of Xingwang Hotel and the bug residue in the copy.
And now, the reminder from the Witch Candle Seal exactly confirms this point.
Perhaps it was because of this that they woke up in Room 408 in the first place.
In this case, no matter which direction they go next and how many rooms they enter, after turning off the lights for the first time, they will definitely enter the rainy town from the oil painting in Room 408.
According to the dungeon rules, it is inevitable that they will enter Room 329 in the future.
and……
Wen Jianyan pursed her lower lip, a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes.
408.
This number seemed familiar to him from the beginning.
You must know that in the first dungeon he experienced, which was the [Decai Middle School] dungeon, the legendary room number that did not exist was 408.
However, before that, Wen Jianyan had never found any evidence to prove that the two were connected, so he could only regard it as a coincidence——
Until now.
Wen Jianyan's breathing became slightly faster involuntarily.
He felt that he seemed to have touched some vague connections hidden in the minutiae and between seemingly unrelated copies.
A certain self-contained logic runs throughout, and he is gradually touching the end and origin of everything.
Wen Jianyan seemed to have been thinking for too long.
"Um..." Huang Mao asked cautiously, "Captain, have you found any clues?"
Wen Jianyan pulled away from his thoughts, raised his eyes and smiled:
"certainly."
Several people couldn't help but get excited, "What?"
Wen Jianyan pointed to the oil painting behind him and said, "What can you see from here?"
Chen Mo stepped forward and looked at it carefully. His eyes quickly stopped at the position that Wen Jianyan had just looked at carefully. His eyes narrowed suddenly and he said slowly:
"...Framing shop."
"Yes, that is indeed the key."
Wen Jianyan changed the topic and rubbed his fingertips thoughtfully, "But there is one more thing."
Chen Mo and Huang Mao turned their heads and their eyes fell on Wen Jianyan, showing doubts at the same time:
"what else?"
"So far, we have basically entered every floor of the Xingwang Hotel, right?" Wen Jianyan said, "Didn't you find that these paintings are regular?"
Several people were startled, as if they had thought of something, and they all fell into deep thought.
Just listen to Wen Jianyan continue:
"The oil paintings in the rooms on the fourth and first floors are basically all residential areas."
The gloomy box surface was covered by rain and fog, and the wet and strange atmosphere seemed to be transmitted through the canvas. Some were low-rise bungalows, and some were two-story buildings, but the pictures inside were both indoors and outdoors.
, all without exception are [places where humans live].
"The room we entered on the second floor, do you remember what the content of the picture is?"
It was a low strip building with only one floor, surrounded by an empty space on the outside. Through the gray rain curtain, the general layout of the building could be vaguely seen. It did not look like a house in any case, but instead
Like...
"School." Chen Mo said slowly.
Wen Jianyan pointed to the oil painting beside him, "What is painted in this painting is a street of shops."
"So, the [door] in the Xingwang Hotel, and the corresponding world behind the [door], are regular...!"
Huang Mao's eyes widened slightly.
They originally thought that after opening the door in the Xingwang Hotel, the location they entered into the rainy town would be random, disorderly, and irregular, but now it seems that the fact is obviously the opposite.
The fourth and first floors of Xingwang Hotel lead to one area of Yinyu Town, while the second and third floors lead to another area of Yinyu Town.
By piecing together these map fragments, they might be able to roughly understand the area of the entire Yinyu Town, and even master the map within it.
While several people were talking in low voices, they heard a "click" sound coming from outside the corridor.
Darkness falls.
The shadow shrouded the entire corridor, seeming to invade along the half-open door, bringing a cold and ominous atmosphere. Under the eyes of everyone, the oil paintings in 329 slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It changed from the appearance of the commercial street at the beginning to a low gray building shrouded in rain.
Through the gray rain curtain, you can vaguely see the sign hanging outside the building——
■■Primary school.
However, compared to the last time I saw it, there were some disturbing changes in the picture this time.
On the low strip-shaped bungalow, there are countless small gray windows lined up side by side. Through the hazy and blurred windows, you can vaguely see countless high and low, pale shadows inside.
There seemed to be many children standing in a row, stiffly behind the window, looking at them outside the screen with their blurred, pale faces.
"…"
Everyone looked at each other and saw very similar looks of horror in each other's eyes.
When I was on the second floor before, there was no such thing in the painting!
While several people were hesitating, a "crunch" sound suddenly came from the corridor outside.
It was as if someone was pressing the door handle and preparing to leave the room.
Wen Jianyan looked serious: "Don't hesitate, let's go in."
No matter whether the guest who is about to leave the room now belongs to the black or red team, it will only increase more risks for them. Therefore, it is best to take advantage of the fact that the guest has not left the room and they have not been occupied yet.
Guests are locked and get out of here as quickly as possible.
Several people nodded.
The door behind the painting is open.
