Withdrawing his thoughts, Bai Yuze moved towards Room 105. The young man was unsure of what would happen in the future, but his heart was no longer lost.
Bai Yuze held the knife in his right hand and slowly pushed open the wooden door of 105 with his left. Compared to the other rooms, the wooden door of 105 was more dilapidated.
Creak ~ Bang!
The old, dilapidated wooden door could not bear the weight and fell, the sound echoing in the corridor.
At this moment, Bai Yuze heard a door opening at the end of the corridor, and a tall figure walked out of Room 108.
This person was completely wrapped in a thick fur coat, his figure burly and tall. What was strange was that this person not only wore a mask but also sunglasses.
Seemingly noticing the commotion from Bai Yuze's side, that person walked towards Bai Yuze.
Looking at such a tall and strangely shaped person, Bai Yuze subconsciously swallowed.
In his daze, that person had already walked in front of Bai Yuze. Bai Yuze could feel the aura emanating from this person, an aura that made him afraid.
But Bai Yuze still bravely asked.
"Front Desk, the wooden door of 105 is broken. Can you fix it?"
"I can't fix it for now, I can only report it. It's not safe to sleep without a door at night, so you can just find another room to sleep in."
The Front Desk's voice was muffled, as if he was speaking with his throat squeezed.
"Oh, right, Room 105 is a bit dirty. Can you find someone to clean it?"
"Sorry, the guesthouse doesn't employ cleaning staff. I still have things to do. The tools are in the cabinet in Room 107. I have the key here."
With that, the Front Desk took out a large bunch of keys from behind him, selected one, and handed it to Bai Yuze.
Then, the Front Desk returned to Room 108 without looking back.
Bai Yuze breathed a sigh of relief. The Front Desk gave him the feeling of not being human. The reason he dared to speak to the Front Desk was due to the safe time mentioned in the rules.
This also once again confirmed the authority of the rules.
Bai Yuze looked at 105, which had no wooden door, then at the key in his hand. After a moment of deep thought, he immediately set off for 107.
Pushing open the wooden door of 107, Bai Yuze immediately found the cabinet the Front Desk mentioned. Inserting the key, the cabinet door opened, and Bai Yuze was stunned.
There were indeed tools in the cabinet, but they were beyond Bai Yuze's understanding of cleaning tools.
Inside the cabinet were several buckets of white liquid, which, judging by the smell, were gasoline. There was also a lighter, a bag of white sugar, and several empty bottles.
Under the bottles was a note.
[Hello, my dear guest, I am the owner of this guesthouse. When you see this letter, it means you have already seen it. I am sad for you, and I am also happy for you. You are lucky to have received help from the Front Desk, which means you have discovered its killing rules. That's right, night is its home turf. Normally, as long as you don't open the door, you are safe, but it will disguise itself as a voice you are familiar with to induce you to open the door. As long as you ignore it, you are safe]
[If you heed it, then I'm sorry, you will need to suffer from insomnia for a while, because it will visit your room again the next day, and by then it will not be polite]
[To help you survive, we have specially prepared these items for you. Please throw this item in the rooms where it has stayed and where it wants to stay. Believe me, the fire will not spread]
[Also, if every room on the first floor has been defiled by it, then it's time for you to move to the second floor. The residents on the second floor have bad tempers, try not to conflict with them. Good luck]
Putting away the note, Bai Yuze poured the gasoline into the empty wine bottles one by one, and then tore off a few strands of cotton from a tattered quilt and stuffed them into the bottles.
After preparing these items, Bai Yuze looked at the last item - white sugar.
He pondered for a moment, then reached out and put the white sugar into his pocket.
Bai Yuze walked out of the room and strode towards 105. Upon reaching the doorway, he shook the bottle in his hand a few times, then pulled out his lighter and lit it.
The moment the flame ignited, the bottle flew into 105.
Bang!
The fire began to spread inside 105.
To be safe, Bai Yuze threw several more Molotov cocktails and propped up the fallen wooden door against the doorframe.
Just then, Bai Yuze felt a heart-wrenching wail coming from inside the room, accompanied by thudding footsteps.
The next moment, Bai Yuze felt the other end of the door being kicked fiercely.
He dared not be careless, pressing his body very close to the wooden door, completely leaning against it.
But he still underestimated the strength of the creature inside the door.
With a bang, Bai Yuze felt the world spin. The creature burst through the door, and Bai Yuze was repelled by the powerful impact, his body hitting the wooden door of 106.
And the door of 106 could not withstand it, falling with a clang. Bai Yuze felt as if his body was falling apart. In his blurry consciousness, he saw the monster's appearance.
It was the monster he had seen in the Guaidan's hint.
Bai Yuze struggled to maintain consciousness, reaching into his pocket, wanting to pull something out, but he failed.
Bai Yuze fainted...
When his consciousness returned, Bai Yuze smelled a unique fragrance. It wasn't the specific scent of shower gel or shampoo, nor the deliberate scent of perfume, but a faint, indescribable smell.
Bai Yuze couldn't distinguish it.
"Hey! Yukino! Xiao Ze's finger moved! Is he about to wake up?!"
The girl's pleasant and highly recognizable voice sounded, and Bai Yuze, accompanied by the pleasant voice and the girl's hopeful gaze, slowly opened his eyes.
What greeted his eyes was Yui Yuigahama's joyful expression, her reddened eyes making her beauty even more striking.
Yukinoshita Yukino also breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Bai Yuze wake up, her tightly clenched fists slowly relaxing.
"How long... did I sleep?"
"Hmm... about two hours. As expected of Xiao Ze, at first I thought you were going to die, but now you're fine, that's really great..."
Tuanzi wanted to return to her usual lively state, but facing a companion who had almost died, Tuanzi couldn't be happy.
"So... it's almost night? I need to go back quickly..."
Bai Yuze supported himself on the mattress with both hands, but he quickly ran out of strength. He was now weak and powerless all over.
"Don't move around. You need to rest well now, and... Room 104 doesn't seem safe either..."
Tuanzi quickly helped Bai Yuze. After Bai Yuze sat up, Tuanzi's voice became hesitant.
"Not safe? Did something happen in Room 104?"
Tuanzi said nothing, pulled out a note, and handed it to Bai Yuze.
[Hello, dear player, I am Yang Peng. How have you been lately? I'm sure you've already seen it, haven't you? If not, don't worry, you'll meet very soon]
