Chapter 50: The Deadly Hotel
readx;
I don't know if it's because he is in the dark, or if he already has a draft in his heart, Yi Xuan easily thought of the shadow power that he had just learned, according to the skill description, in addition to the shadow training system skills he learned before, the shadow power can also be used alone, just like the ability to brake with the mind, standing in the dark, he tried to sense the darkness around him, and the power contained in the darkness. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
His spiritual power spread like tentacles into the darkness, and the whole person melted into the darkness. Suddenly, the darkness covered by spiritual power suddenly began to become his own consciousness, with Yi Xuan's mind moving slightly, the tide surged up, Yi Xuan was startled by this sudden ability, instinctively opened his eyes, and immediately felt that the dark power around him that was originally silent had been awakened by himself, no need for Yi Xuan how to operate, the power of the shadow seemed to have found the host's parasite, and began to pour into his body frantically, Yi Xuan began to resist a little, and those dark powers immediately stopped, Yi Xuan's mind moved again, and the power of the shadow began to move again, Yi Xuan realized that although this dark power was crazy, it could be controlled by himself, so he relaxed, as the power of the shadow entered, fusing his muscles and blood, Yi Xuan couldn't see that his eyes had all turned into pure black colors, and at the same time, all kinds of negative emotions poured into his mind at the same time, as if he wanted to completely occupy him, Yi Xuan's heart was shocked, and he violently broke the spiritual link, and the power of the shadow disappeared quickly, Yi Xuan broke free from that inexplicable despair and sadness, although his mood recovered immediately, he always had a feeling of the rest of his life.
He felt as if the strength of his whole body had been drained, and he involuntarily knelt on the ground, gasping for breath, but his heart was clear, so it was, it turned out that this was the secret of the power of shadows, although it almost made him lose himself in the darkness just now, but it also gave him an unexpected harvest.
The ability granted by the system is magical, although it is only the first time to use it, but his method of use is firmly imprinted in Yi Xuan's mind as if he has tried it countless times, so there is no need to practice it with great effort, as long as Yi Xuan is willing, now he can control the darkness freely.
With this protective color, Yi Xuan walked briskly up the stairs in the basement, the darkness wrapped around him like a cloak, standing in the lobby of the hotel, Yi Xuan glanced around first, making sure that no one would notice him, and then walked towards the kitchen.
Yi Xuan waited in the kitchen for a while, the waitress really walked in, Yi Xuan hid in the dark and did not attract the attention of the hostess, Yi Xuan immediately controlled the shadow power that had been prepared for a long time to surround the hostess, originally the waitress only needed to take the food at the door, but in order not to expose the target, although Yi Xuan had already hidden his figure, he didn't want to replace it at the door, and soon the darkness covered the waitress like a curtain, and the sudden darkness seemed to make her panic, Unable to discern the direction, her feet began to get messy, and when the waitress walked to the side of the stove, Yi Xuan grabbed her .......
A minute later, the waitress walked out with a basin of food with a natural expression, looking no different from usual, but her eyes were a little more agile, and she put the food in the bar, and the waitress immediately turned around and came to the door of the hotel.
The innkeeper is still looking around anxiously with a big golden exclamation mark, but fortunately, it seems that there are no missions in the vicinity of the hotel, so the players seem to have ignored it.
"Hey, I've found the chef, come with me, it's in the basement." The waitress walked over and greeted the boss.
"Really? But I've already looked for it. "The owner seemed to have some doubts.
The hostess shrugged her shoulders, "Who knows, maybe he's hiding in there and lazy, anyway, I saw him in the basement just now." After saying that, the hostess turned around and walked to the bar, looking like you believe it or not.
The boss looked at it, thought for a while, and seemed to think that there was nothing to deceive in hospitality, and immediately muttered: "This slacker, see that I don't teach him a good lesson this time." As he spoke, he began to walk towards the basement.
Yi Xuan tried his best to keep a natural smile, and waited until the boss entered the basement, the waitress smiled slightly, but immediately walked towards the second floor, he had to quickly get out of this hostess in order to occupy the boss's body, but before that he had to make sure that no one found out.
Yi Xuan found a room where no one was there this time and got in, because there was no longer a third person hidden under the bed in the first room, and the time was pressing, so Yi Xuan broke free from the hostess when he entered the room, this time the waitress didn't see him, but Yi Xuan wasn't sure that the battle would not be triggered again. Sure enough, the moment the hostess saw him, she immediately screamed, and attacked him like a madman.
Alas, well, Yi Xuan thought a little reluctantly, originally he really didn't want to kill more people, even if he didn't care about morality or something, he couldn't stand the aftermath like this, but anyway, there were only three people in this hotel, and they were all dead. Thinking of this, Yi Xuan could only turn her into a corpse again, and then hide under the bed in this empty house.
Because he was afraid that the innkeeper would come out of the basement, Yi Xuan didn't dare to stay too long, and he handled everything quickly, immediately turned around and rushed downstairs and rushed into the basement.
Fortunately, there are more shelves in the basement, the boss is looking for it in a row, but he hasn't found the head yet, looking at the back of the boss holding the oil lamp in front of him, Yi Xuan raised his hand, and a ball of spiritual power condensed, and when he was about to make a move, Yi Xuan suddenly thought, anyway, it is better to kill it first, it is better to study it first and then kill, he really wants to see what kind of task the innkeeper has released.
Just now, because he was worried that he would release a task to attract players, Yi Xuan was a little anxious, which would resolve the crisis, and Yi Xuan's curiosity came up again.
So he put away the spiritual power ball, Yi Xuan came behind the boss in a few steps, and his mind was replaced. The oil lamp in the boss's hand almost fell, Yi Xuan hurriedly clenched it, put the oil lamp on the wooden barrel on the side, Yi Xuan began to check the attribute skills of this innkeeper, I didn't expect him to do a lot of things, and there are many functions, there are options for selling food, renting, hiring, etc., but Yi Xuan doesn't care about these, he called out the function of releasing tasks, there are not many tasks released by this NP, and there are certain limitations in them, and there are conditions for unlocking, but as long as the conditions are met, it will be automatically opened, It's different from Yi Xuan's ability to release randomly.
Yi Xuan looked it up, and soon found a lit task to find a chef in the first row of the plot mission. The mission is presumably that the hotel's chef is lost and needs the help of a heroic adventurer to find it. In the end, the boss is rich and rich, and the reward for this task is quite generous, Yi Xuan turned off the task introduction, and was about to quit, when suddenly the voice of the system sounded in his ears.
The plot of the game has changed, and in the generation of new story tasks, Yi Xuan did not move, and in the next second, there were new tasks in the task bar. glanced at the mission name, and it turned out to be looking for a lost hostess. Yi Xuan smiled bitterly, it turned out that the plot task appeared like this, it was really self-defeating, forget it, let's get out of here first. He was about to get out of this body and get rid of the innkeeper as well, when a question suddenly came to mind, the cook and the hostess were missing, and the innkeeper would issue a task to find him, and if he got rid of the innkeeper, who would issue a mission to find him? If an NP such as a vigilante releases this task, maybe many players will receive this task, and then the trouble will be even greater, so you really can't kill this guy directly unless you have to.
However, there is a time limit for the skill of mind replacement, what to do when the time comes, Yi Xuan is a little worried in his heart, but fortunately, the level of these NPCs is very low, and it should not be too difficult for him to subdue but not kill, it seems that he can only take one step at a time.
The streets of Wangcheng are still noisy, and no one has noticed that a hotel that was full of customers a few days ago has hung a sign that is temporarily closed at this time, and even if they see it, everyone will not pay too much attention to it, after all, compared to auction houses, jewelry stores and other necessary shops, decorative shops like hotels are not in great demand for players.
The early morning sun shone in through the window, Yi Xuan immediately felt the light, and woke up from sleep, the room was filled with a faint rancid smell, Yi Xuan had become a little used to it in the past two days, the upstairs guest rooms were full of corpses from him, and the entire hotel was now covered with this smell of corpses, and the room where Yi Xuan lived was probably the last room without corpses.
Yi Xuan stretched his waist, walked out of the room, and passed by a guest room with an open door, the corpses of mercenaries, merchants, and drinking citizens were lying in the room, Yi Xuan didn't raise his eyelids, and went straight downstairs, the lively hall in the past was as quiet as a haunted house at this time, the sunlight shone in through the gap in the door, and the dust could be seen dancing in the light and shadow.
Yi Xuan came to the basement and immediately heard a whining sound, this cry seemed to be suppressed, Yi Xuan was not surprised, he came directly to the shelf and took an apple and took a bite, and looked at the sturdy innkeeper who was tied up in front of him, this is the secret that Yi Xuan discovered later, every time he wants to come out of the boss's body, he will tie himself up first, anyway, he is a mental power invasion, ** The restraint can not affect his actions, and then tie the boss firmly after he comes out of the body, so that he can come down several times, It's already a familiar road.
However, except for the innkeeper, the others are not so lucky, Yi Xuan has been here for four days, and in the past few days, he has to go to all over the royal city every day to collect information and understand the situation, so every time he goes out, he has to occupy the body of an NPC, and because of the timeliness of the soul replacement, Yi Xuan will come back to change a body after walking for a while, so that it will occupy about two or four people a day, of course, these people will die in the hotel room after they are all used without exception.
Except for the innkeeper who is alive and useful, the other NPCs are not within the scope of Yi Xuan's concern, and the result is that in a few days, none of the NPs in the entire hotel have died, and looking at the increasingly depressed hotel, Yi Xuan Yu simply used the innkeeper's authority to close it.
If Yi Xuan was still a little worried at the beginning, since Yi Xuan used the boss's body to suspend the hotel, in this closed space, Yi Xuan was already the absolute boss.
When Yi Xuan occupies his body, he will first have an understanding of the NPC's ability, so Yi Xuan's harvest is still very big these days, the quality flow in the hotel is complicated, so there are all these NPCF+ types, not only the public face without any ability, but also the innkeeper who has the authority to manage the hotel, and there are also mercenaries, merchants, craftsmen and other functional NPs After occupying them, Yi Xuan can use all their abilities, whether it is buying and selling items, repairing equipment, or teaching skills, these functions have all been experienced, also let him have an intuitive understanding of the value of these functions, and what kind of capabilities to contact in the future also have a spectrum.
That's fine, at least the next time you unlock an ability, you won't waste bonus points on inconsequential features.
Yi Xuanka finished wiping an apple and was about to occupy the innkeeper's body and go out for a stroll, when he suddenly heard a sharp and violent knock on the door outside.
Bah, listening to the voice, the people outside were quite anxious, Yi Xuan was startled, generally speaking, players who saw the suspension of business would not come in, could it be that there is an NP related
"Open the door, trouble open the door." Accompanied by a knock, there was a man's shouting at the door, and it seemed that he did not intend to give up.
No, no matter who it is, he can't show his face, or use the innkeeper to take him away first, Yi Xuan thought of this, and untied the rope three or two times, and when the boss had not completely broken free, he occupied his body at once, and then untied the loose rope on his body, and then walked out of the basement and quietly approached the door.
"Hey, I said don't bother, you can't go to so many homes, maybe he hasn't arrived yet." Yi Xuan got close and heard the voice very familiar, walked a few steps to the door, and looked at the crack in the door, it was actually a teammate who was fluttering in the snow and didn't eat cats. Looking to the side, the fish that doesn't eat cats is standing with a frown
"How is it possible, a good week, besides, this is already the last hotel, Master Yi said, he will wait for us at the hotel in the Rising Sun King City, there were no hotels before, it must be in this hotel." The fish that doesn't eat cats looks full of confidence, Yi Xuan smiled secretly in his heart, it is estimated that his indomitable determination is because he sacrificed too much for this mission, Yi Xuan was so anxious that he cried when he gave himself the black dragon skin soft armor.
Yi Xuan was not in a hurry to open the door for them, on the contrary, the conversation between these players made him very interested, "But, the door of this hotel is already closed, what else can you do, I haven't heard of any place in the game that has been closed because the player knocked on the door, if you want me to say that I will look for it again in two days." ”
"No, it's said that today is today, what if Master Yi is gone in two days? This task will not be in vain. The fish that doesn't eat cats is still stubborn, and knocks on the door twice again, touching the ash of Yi Xuan's nose.
"I said, why are you so dead-eyed, they found a wild man outside the city, if you don't go, I can withdraw." Bai Xue Piaopiao said helplessly, no wonder the two of them, they have encountered more realistic benefits, and naturally they don't want to see Yi Xuan's illusory task.
"If you want to withdraw, I took so much effort to find out the whereabouts of that Zhao Beifeng, and it was not easy to complete the task, so I have to go in today to see clearly." I don't eat cats, and I don't know if I blame these brothers for not being righteous, or because of my bad luck, seeing him insist like this, Yi Xuan was a little embarrassed.
"Okay, okay, it's up to you, if you don't go, I'll go. h6 waits for no one. After saying that, Bai Xue Piao turned around and walked quickly.
Listening to the footsteps gradually disappearing, the fish that doesn't eat cats also quieted down, as if he was thinking in his heart whether to persevere, Yi Xuan continued to observe through the crack in the door for a while, only to see that the fish who didn't eat cats suddenly raised his head, stared at the wooden door in front of him resolutely, raised his hand and continued to knock on it.
Hehe, good, Yi Xuan straightened up, adjusted his expression, and slammed the door open. The fish, who doesn't eat cats, was knocking on the door with his hand raised, apparently startled, and with a burst of ecstasy, "Hello, I would like to ask ......." ”
"Come in, Master Yi has been waiting for you for a long time." Yi Xuan said lightly.
Hearing the innkeeper's words, the fish who didn't eat cats immediately had a ecstatic expression on his face, followed the innkeeper and walked in, and immediately asked about the stench coming from the house, and couldn't help frowning, "What kind of smell is this, it smells a little ......"
Yi Xuan closed the door first, then pointed upstairs and said, "You can go upstairs and take a look, I will ask Master Yi to come out to see you." With that, he walked towards the basement.
The fish who doesn't eat cats is curious, and walks towards the second floor step by step, the more he walks, the stronger the smell becomes, making him vomit, Yi Xuan heard his footsteps going upstairs, and hurriedly tied up the innkeeper again, quickly separated from his body, tied him firmly, stuffed something in his mouth, and then walked out unhurriedly.
As soon as Yi Xuan walked out of the basement, he saw the fish who didn't eat cats running down in a panic, and one of the last few steps was unsteady and fell down the stairs, almost rolling down.
The fish that doesn't eat cats stumbles when they speak: "Here, what's the situation?" No way. ”
Although there are countless killings in the game, the system is refreshed in a blink of an eye, and in order to protect the player from being frightened by the bloody picture in the game, the player's death will become a mosaic or something, and it is really the first time for him to see the creepy scene of the corpses piling up, especially those corpses are human corpses, and the impact of the picture is too great.
Yi Xuan pointed to a chair in the middle of the hall, "You sit down and we'll talk slowly." As he spoke, he sat down in the chair next to him.
The fish who didn't eat cats walked down with some trepidation, sat down, looked at Yi Xuan's face with bitter hatred, didn't dare to say more, only listened to Yi Xuan say slowly: "This is the person of the Shadow God Sect, when I tracked it down, it was already too late, these poor people were killed by those cultists, the holy light is above, they are becoming more and more unscrupulous." ”
"What? Have they already started to haunt the Rising Sun King? "The fish that doesn't eat cats is obviously taken aback as well.
"yes, so we're going to step up, have you investigated everything I asked you to investigate?" Yi Xuan immediately introduced the topic to the topic, afraid that if he continued to chat, he would be found by the other party, so the fish who didn't eat cats nodded hurriedly, "I found it." ”
