Qi Yan smiled: "Thank you, you too." ”

After getting Qin Rang's mask, Qi Yan quickly returned to the front desk post, the time was already 23:55, and the girl at the front desk also asked for leave with the boss.

The exciting 24 o'clock is approaching.

After the girl at the front desk hurriedly said goodbye to him, she trotted out of the hotel.

When she pushed the door and left, Qi Yan noticed that the snow outside the house seemed to stop, and I don't know if it was the snow or the sudden moonlight, illuminating the small courtyard in front of the hotel.

From the conversation with the girl at the front desk just now, Qi Yan got a very important clue-

The person on duty at the front desk never hears the call bell of a traveler.

"Teacher System, who am I going to report to in this copy about the hidden rules that I have discovered?" Qi Zhen asked.

Unlike Mr. Lorde, who was in charge of the guidance of newcomers in the previous dungeon, the mode of breaking through the hot spring dungeon is very flexible, and his current identity is very special, that is, a traveler and an intern, so Qi Zhen has to confirm the reporter with the system.

[You can report the hidden rules you have explored directly to me, and I will synchronize the results to the corresponding person in charge] The system answers him.

It seems that the reporting process in the flexible book is also more convenient.

"Intern Handbook Article 3: There is no front desk call button in the passenger room, please ignore the bell if you hear it, am I right?" Qi Zhen asked firmly.

The system was silent for a moment, as if loading data.

Three seconds later—

[Congratulations, you have successfully completed the missing part of Rule 3 of the Intern's Handbook to unlock Survival Coins*50]

[Unlocked rules will be synced to travelers who also have the Intern Handbook]

[Complete the rules to obtain additional item rewards: "Old Radio"*1]

Now that he has been lifted out of poverty, his interest in additional props is far greater than that of survival coins.

He clicked on the item details to see:

[Item description: The appearance is very shabby, and it seems to be the tattered left by a former former employee.] Whether it can be used normally (unknown) The effect of use is unknown.

Qi Jiu: ...... That's a bit excessive.

But it doesn't matter, he believes that even if it is tattered, it will have a tattered value.

Qi Yan opened the "Passenger Check-in Book" handed to him by the girl at the front desk.

There are a total of 20 suites in this hostel.

Among them, 101 and 104 lived in two couples, Xiaomi's mother and daughter lived in 105, three young men shared a bed in 109, the union leader and his attendants lived in 110, a single young man who ate well-cooked steak lived in 112, three girls dressed up in fashion lived in 114, a girl who ordered Japanese ramen lived in 115, and a witch-like duo lived in 117.

The room assigned to Qi Yan and Qin Rang is lined up next to room 120, at the very end of the corridor, perhaps because it is a utility room renovation, it is not numbered.

The remaining rooms were shown to be unoccupied.

There aren't many rooms, but for some reason, walking down the hallway that connects all the rooms always gives the illusion of getting longer and longer.

The floor lights in the hallway went out, and the moon rose to mid-heaven when the snow stopped, and the pale moonlight sprinkled on the ground.

The shadows of the dead branches and trees in the courtyard were reflected on the closed lattice fan, and when the wind blew, the shadows were like countless entangled ghost hands, stretching longer and longer in the swaying, trying to penetrate the guest room without the slightest sound.

Qi Zhen believes that it is impossible for the guests who have just finished the buffet tonight to sleep peacefully, but the rules recommend that everyone "go to bed early", and no one dares to make the slightest movement.

The wind grew louder in the courtyard, and the bell in the lobby of the inn rang twelve.

There was an instant silence all around.

There is no chirping of insects and birds in the winter nights, and even the sound of the wind blowing and falling snow is swallowed up by silence.

Qi Zhen didn't put on earplugs as the girl at the front desk explained, after all, he decided to come to the vigil to get more hidden clues, although these sounds may be accompanied by danger, but they will become an important way to lead to clues.

About ten minutes later, Qi Yan suddenly heard "Zi... ""Whew... la".

It's like someone dragging their feet in the snow, heavy and long.

He held his breath and looked over to the pane that had been blown open—

Chapter 37: 404 Hot Spring Street (7)

The moonlit courtyard was empty, and there were no footprints left on the snow.

But the strange footsteps continued.

"Whew... Ahh Whe..."

The footsteps were getting clearer and clearer, and the uninvited guest who was dragging his steps was approaching.

Qi Zhen stared intently in the direction of the door.

The next second-

"Knock knock."

There was a knock on the door.

Boy.

Sure enough, if you don't take Qin Rang out to do things, there is a high probability that you will encounter an unlucky incident.

Not long ago, when the girl at the front desk told her to pay attention to the night, she mentioned "If you are unlucky enough to hear a knock on the door...", she stopped talking at that time, explaining that if someone knocks on the door at night, it will be a very bad situation.

The knocking on the door became more and more intense, and if left unattended, it would not be long before the unstable door would collapse.

After enduring a moment of vigorous knocking on the door, Qi Yan finally couldn't help but speak: "Who? ”

The moment his voice fell, the knock on the door stopped.

But the uninvited guest outside the door did not answer his question.

There was a stalemate in silence for half a minute.

"Knock knock!" Suddenly, the knock on the door was louder and more rapid than before.

Qi Jiu: "......" is still an uninvited guest.

"Are you staying at the hotel?" Qi Yan half-covered his ears and shouted to the guy who was banging the door outside the door.

The movements of the uninvited guests became more and more unkind, the knocking on the door continued, and the unstable door of the hotel had begun to shake.

If you continue to sit idly by, it will be a matter of time before an uninvited guest breaks in.

In the midst of emergency, Qi Ji thought quickly.

Whether they are ghosts or monsters, they must follow the Basic Law, which means that they are limited to their own rules, and the actions and choices they make must be reasonably motivated.

In such a hostel on a deep winter night, uninvited guests knocking on the door are most likely to stay at the hotel.

If it doesn't meet its needs here, there's no need for it to cling to it.

Qi Yan decided to take a gamble.

"If you're staying at the hotel, I'm sorry, but a tour group came here today, the rooms are full, and there are no empty beds at the moment." Qi Ji raised his voice to lie, but his tone did not lose the politeness of a service worker.

"I'm sorry for the trouble, but please find another place, we won't accept customers tonight."

For a moment, the knock was silent again.

But Qi Zhen wasn't sure if it was the uninvited guest outside the door who had finally given up on checking in, or if it was brewing something bigger.

Qi Zhen has prepared a second plan, if the persuasion fails, he directly summons the "rampaging Miss Rossetti" to come over and violently clean up the uninvited guests.

Qi Ji stayed on the system interface on [whether to enable NPC's time-limited employment letter], and was in silence for half a minute-

"Zila......"

The sound of footsteps dragging in the snow sounded again, and Qi Yan instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

It worked.

The uninvited guest was finally persuaded to quit by the "full" hotel.

The footsteps became farther and farther away, and Qi Yan noticed that the uninvited guest left and stuffed three small cards into the crack of the door.

But because the distance was too far and the light was dim, Qi couldn't see what was printed on the card.

At this moment, room 107, which was supposed to have no guests, suddenly moved.

At this point, the lights of the inn had been turned off, and an eerie light suddenly came through Room 107, illuminating the empty hallway.

The shoji door of the hotel is made of light-transmitting material, so it is easy for guests to be aware of the light source once they use it.

This is especially strange on a silent snowy night.

Qi Yan looked down the corridor and noticed that the light source from Room 107 was constantly changing, and the fuzzy noise was flowing, as if someone had turned on the TV at midnight.

At the same time, he could hear the faint sound of television announcements in the silence.

Could it be the chain supernatural reaction caused by the slamming of the door of the uninvited guest just now?

Because the loud sound of slamming the door woke up the non-existent "guest", and then the "guest" got up to watch TV?

It's no wonder that the girl at the front desk has a secretive expression when she mentions the midnight knock on the door, because the knock triggers a series of supernatural phenomena.

If she told the staff on duty the truth, I am afraid that no one would want to give her a shift.

If you follow the advice of the girl at the front desk, you should ignore the strange movements that suddenly appear at night, but Qi Zhen does not intend to let go of this opportunity to explore clues.

He wondered what the non-existent "resident" was watching right now.

Qi Jiu's system interface is still stuck in the skill bar, and the knock crisis is over, but he has no intention of turning off the skill.

He thought for a moment, and finally clicked yes on the [Yes/No Enable NPC Limited-Time Offer] option.

[Hello Dear Traveler, the limited-time employment letter skill has been activated, and now you can summon an NPC to work for you]

【Attention! The skill cooldown duration is 24h. and the summoned NPC must be from a quest that has completed the final mission]

【Warning! After the above conditions are met, when the NPC's opinion of the summoner is too low, there is a possibility that the summon will fail. Failing to summon three times will automatically enter the cooldown period]

[Which NPC would you like to issue a time-limited offer letter to?] 】

Qi Ji thought about it for a moment, except for the little gray cat, the NPC with the highest favorability with him in the Rose Fish copy should be Miss Rossetti, and Miss Rossetti in a violent state has a high force value.

But no matter how you look at it, the runaway lady is not very suitable for the hotel front desk......
