Qi Yan took the ring in his hand, quietly observed the change in his wife's expression, and patiently did not say a word.

Madame's figure seemed to shake, she tried her best to settle down, and her eyes finally gradually focused: "This is my ring." ”

After a moment of silence, Qi Yan handed the ring to his wife: "Then I will return it to its original owner." ”

"Thank you... Thank you... This is my wedding ring for my husband and me, it would be a hassle to find it, you helped a lot. Madame accepted her wedding ring, and her eyes flashed a little confused and confused.

Qi Yan smiled: "You're welcome, this is what I should do." ”

Madame immediately put the "lost and found" ring back on her ring finger, and it was a perfect size.

Then she pressed her hand to her heart as usual, with a look of uneasiness and loss.

After a while, Qi Zhen heard her mutter, "Huh... Why am I here? Here it is..."

Madame looked around in a bit of a panic, looking confused, as if the appearance of the ring had completely disturbed her mind.

Qi Yan looked at her quietly, only to see that his wife kept rubbing the ring on her ring finger, and asked him at a loss, "Do you know why I'm here?" ”

"Ma'am, you are a guest here." Qi Yan replied calmly.

"Yes... Be... I was about to help that—" Madame muttered to herself, her fingers curling uneasily, and she looked blankly in the direction of the common room.

It wasn't until the witch's urging voice came from the lounge that the lady shuddered with fright, and then the confusion in her eyes disappeared.

Qi Zhen: "You're helping that poor guest get rid of the ghost fetus in his stomach, so I'm going to get you some hot water in case you need it." ”

*

It was inconvenient for Qi Yan to appear in the lounge as a man, and after helping to get hot water, he went back to his room to rest.

The proprietress did not take back the bamboo lantern, and Qi Yan hung the small bamboo lantern burning with a ghost fire at the head of her bed, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

Qin Rang: "...... Is this a specialty you brought back from the hot pool? ”

Qi Yan smiled: "It's a 'souvenir' given by the proprietress . ”

"Well, here are the hot spring steamed buns for the staff's dinner, I left two for you, you can make do with them." Qin Rang handed the hot spring steamed buns that were still hot to Qi Yan.

The hot spring consumption is large, Qi Yan was hungry for a long time, and he took a big bite of the hot spring steamed bun with mung bean filling: "Thank you, I'm starving." ”

"Did you find anything over there?" Qin Rang leaned over and asked.

Qi Yan told Qin Rang what he had seen and heard in the hot spring pool one by one, and Qin Rang commented: "It seems that the hot spring task is not very difficult..."

Qi Yan nodded in agreement: "As long as you are not a pure newcomer who fights alone, there is basically no big problem." ”

Qin Rang frowned: "But if it's of this difficulty... Why didn't Xiaomi's mother and daughter participate? Isn't it more dangerous for them to blatantly violate the rules of hot springs? ”

Qi Yan bit the steamed bun and shrugged: "It's okay, Xiaomi's mother and daughter are not real players." ”

Qin Rang was stunned: "...... What?! ”

Qi Jiu: "Do you remember what the girl with two ponytails said in the morning?" Mother and daughter are alternate players who get on the bus halfway, and two players have died before them. ”

Qin Rang immediately nodded: "Remember." ”

Qi Jiu: "I don't think there is a waitlist at all, it was those two players who violated the hidden death rules of the dungeon that released Xiaomi's mother and daughter." ”

Qin Rang's eyes widened in disbelief, and he was so shocked that he couldn't say half a word.

Qi Jiu: "But Xiaomi's mother and daughter are not the same as other 'ghosts', they... In particular, the lady in it doesn't seem to know that she is a 'ghost', and she seems to really think that she is a player who has come to break through the level. ”

"But I don't know what Xiaomi's situation is." Qi Yan said.

Qin Rang took a long time to recover: "Oh my God, when did you start to suspect Xiaomi's mother and daughter?" ”

Qi Ji thought for a while: "It's just a suspicion... Probably from the moment they bought our massage service. ”

Qin Rang: "... Is it so early?! ”

Good guy, he just went to provide a massage service at that time, and he didn't notice any clues.

Qi Yan: "Xiao Mi said during the massage that she felt that the hotel was very familiar, although she may just talk about it casually, but I don't think the flash of inspiration is just a coincidence. ”

"And they have been burning incense sticks with strange smells in their houses, you must know that open flames are forbidden in the hotel, but they are safe and sound, I guess the taboo of the hotel only applies to the living, they are 'dead', so in a sense, there are no taboos, I guess the incense sticks they burn are for the dead, that is, their own." Qi Yan recalled the first time they went to the mother-daughter room and analyzed.

"But what really made me suspicious was at the buffet last night. I noticed that the collar of Madame's yukata was worn backwards, and then Koya put her coat on Madame with a nervous expression. ”

Qi Yan pointed to the collar of his bathrobe, "At that time, Mrs. 's yukata was the right collar pressed against the left collar, which was the way the deceased wore it." ”

Qin Rang suddenly said: "I see, I haven't even noticed these details, it's incredible..."

Now that most of the mystery of Xiaomi's mother and daughter has been solved, there are still two mysteries left in front of Qi Zhen: 1. The relationship between the Oiran Shrine and the hotel accident; 2. The real date of the accident;

Perhaps, the clues to these two mysteries can start from Xiao Mi......

It's almost 10 p.m., and the hotel enforces buffet time.

But for those who have mastered the "food trap", the buffet that made it difficult for them to move forward no longer poses any threat.

"Are we going to watch the buffet tonight?" Qin asked for Qi's opinion.

Qi Zhen has already put on his mask again: "Of course, I helped my wife find the wedding ring, I think Xiao Mi has something to say to me." ”

When the two arrived at the cafeteria, the ghost baby in the belly of the girl in room 115 had been successfully removed by the witch, and now she still looked pale and weak, but there was no trace of being possessed by the ghost baby on her body.

The cafeteria didn't change the menu and the food was exactly the same as last night.

But tonight's players were very motivated to pick up their plates, and with the sacrifices of yesterday's "teammates", it was easy for them to pick the right food.

Everyone opted for sashimi or ice cream as a must-eat option.

In terms of vegetarian options, most people today have switched to hot spring tofu or strawberry matcha Daifuku, and the number of people who choose salads has greatly decreased.

It turns out that salads are really anti-human, and no one likes to eat them under normal circumstances.

The moment Qi Yan appeared in the restaurant, he noticed that a gaze had been resting on him.

But he made a casual appearance until Xiao Mi, who had two ice cream in his hands, came towards him.

"Well, the ice cream here is delicious." Xiao Mi handed one of the ice creams to Qi Yan.

Qi Yan pointed to the noh on his face and smiled: "Thank you, but I can't take off my mask and eat in front of the guests, I'm sorry, I can't enjoy this ice cream." ”

Xiao Mi shrugged her shoulders and ate it with relish: "I just want to thank you for my mother, I heard that you picked up her wedding ring." ”

Qi Yan said in a natural tone: "You're welcome, this is what I should do for the guests." ”

Xiao Mi continued to say thoughtfully, "Her ring hasn't been seen for a long time... But she didn't seem to notice it... I remember as if it was with me... But I lost it. ”

"If my mother knew that I lost her wedding ring, she would have blamed me, but luckily she forgot about it, and luckily she was able to get it back......"

Qi Yan didn't speak, quietly staring at Xiao Mi who was talking to himself.

"I said, who the hell are you?" Xiao Mi suddenly stopped chattering and looked at Qi Yan deeply.

Qi Yan smiled: "A poor student who came to work in a hotel during the holidays. ”

He paused, put away his smile and looked at Xiao Mi again, "Xiao Mi, what about you?" ”

Xiao Mi was obviously in a trance for a moment: "I... I'm like... I came to the hot spring hotel on a tourist bus... With Mom. ”

Qi Ji looked at Xiao Mi fixedly, judging from the other party's trance-like demeanor and strange wording, Xiao Mi's perception of his identity seemed to be confused.

As she had mentioned that she felt the hotel was familiar, she wasn't sure if it was real because her impression was too vague.

She seems to be "implanted" with the concept of being a player, just like her wife, but on the other hand, the memories of the "aborigines" are hidden in the shadows.

Qi Yan continued to ask, "Really? Why choose to come here for a holiday? ”

Xiao Mi was stunned, then tilted her head and thought for a while: "... Because there's a legend here. ”

Qi Jiu: "Legend? ”

Xiao Mi nodded: "Legend has it that the shrine here is very spiritual. ”

Qi Yan was stunned for a moment, the shrine and Xiao Mi ...... It seems to string together the clues!

"Oh, the shrine where you ask for marriage." Qi Yan said with a smile.

Xiao Mi pouted dissatisfiedly: "At first, the ghost knew that it was used to ask for marriage." ”

Qi looked at it fixedly: "So, what do you want to ask for?" ”

He guessed that Xiao Mi, whose identity was confused, was not answering his question as a "player" at the moment.

Just very important clues.

Suddenly, Xiao Mi's eyes flashed with confusion and sadness, her lips trembled, and it took a while for her to say two words: "Mom." ”

Mom?

Qi Jiu's brows furrowed.

Could it be that Xiaomi's mother was absent before her?

"Xiaomi, don't go over and argue about my brother's work, let's sit here and finish the meal." At this moment, Madame had already come over to take Xiao Mi away, and she didn't know the situation, and she bowed apologetically to Qi Jiu, "I'm sorry, Xiao Mi is bothering you again." ”

Qi Yan smiled and shook his head: "No, no, it's me who is troublesome Xiaomi." ”

Xiao Mi's cold face hadn't eased yet, and she muttered in a low voice: "Brother's questions are too many!" It's annoying! ”

"Then I'll ask you one more question," Qi Yan looked at her, "Xiaomi, do you know Miss Yuzi?" ”

Xiao Mi's expression was slightly stiff, and then turned into confusion, she shook her head: "I don't have an impression." ”

Qi Zhen nodded: "If you think about it one day, or see her, welcome to come to me." ”

Xiao Mi turned his head and glanced at Qi Yan, without nodding or shaking his head.

"Qi Jiu, are you still on duty tonight?" After returning to the room, Qin Rang asked Qi Jiu.

"No, people can't always work, and they also have to rest moderately," Qi Yan replied, "and the room is probably more lively tonight." ”

Qin Rang was stunned for a moment: "Huh? What do you mean? ”

Qi Jiu: "There is a high probability that there will be some supernatural events in the guest room tonight. ”

Qin Rangdeng's scalp was numb: "Why tonight... No... How do you know? ”

Qi Zhen shrugged: "The ghost killing in the dungeon also needs to follow the rules, only if the player violates the rules can it become their plate, now everyone has figured out the taboo of the buffet, which is equivalent to the 'food trap' set by the ghost has become invalid, and the ghost can't kill people through the buffet, if you are a ghost, what will you do at this time?" ”
