Chapter 22: Overnight Stay: An Unmanned Hotel

"Who are you talking about?"

Lu Yu casually pulled a chair and sat down. Zhu Xiaowen shrugged his shoulders to indicate that he had finished speaking, and Seth had participated in the road to survival so far, so naturally he had no past experience to talk about. When Lu Yu came in, Nao was beginning to talk about his previous game experience.

"Now that we're done, let's continue, and I'll talk about it when we're done." Lu Yu said, "I also want to hear Xiaowen, but since you have all heard it, then tell me when you have time in private." ”

“OK。” Zhu Xiaowen nodded.

"Then I'll continue."

Nao's face was even more ugly than before, as pale as if it had completely lost its blood. Although the experience told by Zhu Xiaowen is very uncomfortable, it happened to others after all. But what Nao is going to talk about next is what happened to him not long ago.

"I think you all know that there are currently four types of this game, which correspond to the four suits of the playing cards." Nao's voice was a little dry, "I've been in contact with some players, most of them have played spades, clubs and diamonds, but they have hardly ever encountered hearts. ”

"Does it mean that the odds of hearts appearing are lower than the other three?" Seth pondered, "Does this design have any meaning?" ”

"Not necessarily."

Lu Yu sighed: "There is also another possibility, which shows that those who have experienced hearts rarely survive." ”

Nao gave him a deep look and continued.

"I'm going to talk about the second game I'm going to play next. The name is 'overnight' and the grade is ......"

She took a deep breath before continuing.

“…… 2 of hearts. ”

……………………

"Is this the venue for this game? It's majestic. It looks like it's just as good as it is in Dubai. ”

A young man in a red vest looked at the brilliant lights in front of him and the high-end atmosphere of the five-star hotel, and was amazed. The middle-aged man next to him was called Lao Ma, but at this time, he was not as relaxed as the young man, but was nervously sorting out his backpack. His backpack was stacked with a lot of consumables such as store-bought antidotes, as well as a few high-end weapons and armor, which he had spent almost all of his savings to recharge into in-game currency, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was bankrupt.

"Higashino, you still have the leisure to study the hotel...... Nao put her hand on her forehead, "Don't you think this game is very weird." ”

A few minutes ago, the three of them teamed up to enter the game and were transported to the door of this hotel. As usual, the game reads the basics of the game in that unemotional tone during the teleport.

[Game Name: Overnight, Level: 2 of Hearts, Number of Players: 3]

[This game requires staking all remaining survival points]

These two sentences alone have a lot of things that make Nao feel strange.

First, in terms of game genre, it's a heart that I've never heard of. In the last game, Rinao also communicated with some players, some of whom have experienced a lot of games, including Higashino and Lao Ma, who teamed up this time. But none of those players had ever experienced a game of hearts. Nao judged that the type of heart did not exist, and that the so-called four-suit correspondence with playing cards may be just far-fetched people. But at this time, this legendary type was suddenly bumped into by her?

Second, according to veteran players, even if they are in a team, they will meet new people every time they participate in the game, and it seems that this game does not want players to continue to clear the level with a tacit team, but must stuff some variables in. According to the rules of the game, the maximum number of players in a team at one time is five people, so the number of players in the game will generally be larger than five people, except for the case where the game adaptation must follow the settings of the original game. But this time, she teamed up with Dongye Lao Ma to enter, but she happened to encounter a game with 3 people, which is also very rare.

Third, and what disturbs her the most. The survival points pledged in this game are not a definite number, but "all remaining survival points" that have never been heard of, which means that no matter how much you have saved before, you can't be safe, as long as you encounter this game, you are really dead.

"Why are you worried so much, it's called overnight, just spend the night in this hotel." Higashino moved his body, "What else can there be in danger, it's a big deal that there are man-eating monsters in the hotel, just kill it." ”

He jokingly touched Nao's shoulder, "Don't be afraid, I'll protect you." ”

Higashino's confidence was not unfounded. First of all, he is a level 10 player who is good at type spades, especially when it comes to combat. In addition to easily solving spade-type games, Higashino's physical strength and combat strength are enough for him to use brute force to break some puzzle-type block games, not to mention hybrid clubs. At the same time, in many games, Higashino not only honed his superhuman skills, but also obtained a series of sophisticated equipment, including weapons specifically against spirits, so that he could not do anything when he encountered ghosts.

Higashino is sure that he has the ability to defeat aliens or female ghosts lurking in the hotel.

And although the old horse is not as flamboyant as Higashino, he may actually be able to survive more easily. The old horse's good type is plum blossoms, and the current level is level nine. Compared with Dongye, his ability is relatively balanced, although he does not have the physical fitness and combat ability of the former, but the wisdom of Lao Ma at critical moments and the experience of being a middle-aged man in reality often allow him to find the most suitable path and save a lot of effort.

The point is, old marken spends money.

Among the three people's backpacks, only the old horse's is different. Not only did he spend hundreds of thousands of in-game coins to expand the number of slots in his backpack from the initial thirty to the upper limit of sixty, but he also bought a bunch of store goods to fill the backpack entirely. There are not only spare weapons and armor for different situations, but also a variety of recovery items. Hemostatic bandages, antidote serums, antiparalytic drugs, these are all that can be brought anyway.

According to Lao Ma's words, this is called being prepared.

At this time, the three of them stood back to back in a "Pin" shape, and slowly walked into the hotel lobby while on guard. The windows are bright and clean, and it seems that someone cleans them every day, but at this time it is empty. Not only can you not see the guests, but you can't even see the waiters and receptionists.

"Look here." The sharp-eyed Nao said.

On the empty reception desk, in addition to the hotel introduction, there are three room cards. Higashino picked it up and played with it in his hand, saying, "This should mean letting us live in." Spending the night in a five-star room? It's a fun game. ”

"But what's the deal with the three key cards?" The nervous old horse put the room cards together and compared, "The floors where the three rooms are located are different, and the room numbers are not the same, they must be distributed in different locations in the corridor." Does this mean that we have to make judgments? Is only one of the three rooms safe? ”

"Maybe it's just a matter of asking us to live separately." Higashino said.

Nao didn't participate in the discussion, and she continued to search for what might be clues. A stack of hotel brochures on the reception desk caught her eye, something every hotel would have, but for this quirky hotel, there might be clues hidden in its introduction that could help beat the game.

The always cautious old horse discovered the value of the introduction sheet one step ahead of her. He picked up a copy and flipped through it, a strange look immediately appeared on his face.

"There are rules of the game." The old horse said.

Nao and Higashino also picked up a copy and read it.

"The goal: to survive until eight o'clock in the morning."

"Description: 1. All doors in the hotel have the effect of absolute barrier."

"2, the hotel gate is the only entrance and exit of the building, and it will be automatically closed after all players enter the hotel, and it will not open until after eight o'clock in the morning."

"3. Between 2 a.m. and 8 a.m., lethal poison gas will be released from the hotel lobby and spread to all floors. At eight o'clock all the poison gas will be pumped and replaced with fresh air. ”

"4. All rooms are exactly the same, and the initial state is safe."

The three of them glanced at each other, each of them seeing shock in the other's eyes.

It's poison gas!

When they saw the hotel, they also thought that there must be some kind of threat hidden in the hotel, but they were more thinking about the physical enemy, but they didn't think that the game just used a simple "poison gas" to nullify all their preparations.

"Either way, the game is not designed to be unbeatable." Higashino smiled. He was always the first in the crowd to regain his composure, "This shows that the intention of the game is obvious, which is to let us hide in the room and come out after 8 o'clock in the morning." Whatever awaits us in the room, we have to face it. ”

"Let's go into the same room, right? It's good to have a response. Nao's face turned pale.

"No, it's better to have one room per person." The old horse quickly picked up the room card. Since the game has stated that all rooms are exactly the same, and the initial state is safe, that is, it is the same everywhere, and he has his own little abacus.

Among the three people, Lao Ma has the most drugs on his body, including many antidote drugs and filtering gas masks. I'm not sure if it will work against the poison gas in this game, but it's hopeful. But there is only one mask, and there are not many medicines, if three people live in one room, it will definitely cause civil strife when there is a real need, and no one will give face to anyone in the face of death, and it is difficult to say whether they can keep these resources at that time.

Thinking of this, the old horse ran away with his backpack and disappeared.

"Hey, that's easy to guess." Higashino looked at his back and shook his head. He's good at physical fitness and fighting, but he's not stupid either, and he can think of the same little bit of old horse's thoughts. At the moment of life and death, it is beyond reproach that Lao Ma made that kind of decision, and Higashino did not plan to do anything.

"Why don't you take a look around?" "If the gas is released at two o'clock, we'll have time to look for other clues." ”

Both of them looked at the clock behind the reception desk at the same time. It was 12 o'clock in the middle of the night.

There are eight hours left until the end of the game.
