Gamers Are Fierce
Chapter 685 The lights go out
() Players are fierce () Find the latest chapter!
Li Ang stood in the corridor on the fifth floor with his back to the elevator, looking around.
A round clock hung on the wall at the left end of the corridor, showing that it was currently eleven twenty-three.
The floor of the corridor is covered with a deep dark red carpet, and the wallpaper is light red. Two flower-shaped orange lampshades are hung at regular intervals on the wall, and the lampshades emit a warm light.
The elevator room behind Li Ang, like the entire hotel, is full of retro feelings.
The floor of the elevator room is covered with old wooden floors, which creak when you step on them.
There are three copper handrails installed on the inner wall of the elevator room, which can clearly reflect people's faces. Their position is just at the waist of ordinary people, and they can be reached out to hold for support.
The elevator door is made of thick material and is in a dark golden color.
There is a rectangular window on the left and right sides, through which you can see the interior of the elevator room.
The door frame outside the elevator room is covered with a circle of blue marble tiles.
There is a one-third clock-like curved copper indicator above it.
When the elevator moves, the pointer on the indicator meter will rotate accordingly, and the square below the pointer will light up white and make a ding sound.
On the right side of the elevator entrance, there is a red landline phone.
This should be what the accommodation guide says. The only phone in the entire hotel besides the front desk that can be dialed out.
Li Ang walked forward, picked up the phone, put it to his ear, and heard the repeated sound of di-di--.
In previous tests, fixed phones on different floors were able to be used normally, and calls to any floor or room could be made.
I can also call the front desk, but the front desk staff has disappeared and there is no response when I call.
Li Ang put down the phone and looked diagonally across the elevator room.
There is a stairwell with a green EXIT safety exit sign. You can reach the upper and lower floors through the stairwell.
However, considering the unusual circumstances mentioned in the accommodation guide,
Players should only access the stairs during curfew in extreme circumstances.
Hey! Can you hear me?
Li Ang stepped forward, pushed open the stairwell door, and shouted inside,
The sound it made seemed to be absorbed by the cement wall, and no echo could be heard.
Not to mention passing it to the epidemic doctor upstairs or the mule downstairs.
The building materials of the hotel are extremely strong and extremely difficult to destroy.
It cannot be transformed by alchemy, nor can it transmit vibration or even divine power.
Li Ang also has no effective way to communicate - the intercom is completely useless here. The vines, spores and even hair he created will wither inexplicably and lose their sensitivity after ten meters beyond the body.
We can only come according to the original plan.
He sighed, took out the key from his pocket, and opened room 508 opposite the elevator.
The room was dark, and through the corridor light, the two curtains at the window at the end of the room could be vaguely seen.
Since the layout of the rooms in the hotel is almost the same, and players have already searched the first and second floors of the hotel,
So Li Ang reached out to the three-way single-control switch on the edge of the door frame with ease and turned on the room lights.
The living room in Room 508 is relatively spacious, with brown carpet on the floor and light yellow-green wallpaper with small flower patterns.
There is an oil painting hanging on each wall.
The contents of oil paintings vary;
An old woman with white hair and dressed in black was holding a large book and reading to a group of children also dressed in black.
The expressions on the children's faces were obsessed and serious,
Li Ang couldn't help but think of a book called Quantum Physics for Babies that he shared at a junior high school reading sharing meeting a few years ago.
That book was written by an American popular science writer and published by Eastern University of Science and Technology Press.
The cover of the book is very cute. It shows a baby wearing a diaper looking up at the stars in the sky.
It’s just that the content is extremely outrageous,
The first two chapters are about tangram - putting together the same proportions and fun dots and lines.
The next few chapters suddenly jump to De Broglie's Matter Waves, Operators, Wave Functions and Hilbert Spaces without any transition in the middle.
There is only one sentence: Okay, baby, you have mastered enough mathematical tools, let's start trying some new content~
God knows what this popular science author and the publishing house are thinking.
How can a 5-7 year old child understand matrix mechanics? !
You have to be at least eight years old.
Li Ang shook his head nostalgically, forgetting the dull expressions of his teachers and classmates at the reading sharing meeting.
Except for the oil painting of the old woman reading,
The contents of several other oil paintings are of a sailing ship lost in a storm.
A group of British nobles on horseback and leading hounds hunting in the woods,
A girl in a long skirt was sitting on a chair. She covered her face with a fan and could not see her exact appearance, but judging from her fair skin and smart eyes, she should be quite beautiful.
Li Ang took down several oil paintings, and after confirming that there were no secret passages or traps behind the oil paintings, he hung them up again.
There is a vertical beige floor lamp in each corner of room 508.
There is only a transparent glass ashtray on the wooden table in the middle of the living room. The ashtray is extremely clean. You can't feel any stains when you rub it with your hand. If you get closer and smell it, you can't smell any residual smoke——
As clean as the fireplace across from the coffee table.
To the left of the living room is the bathroom, which is spacious, bright and clean, with a bathtub and shower curtain.
Li Ang tried it and found that hot water could be released from the faucet, and there was no hair under the plug in the bathtub.
In front of the bathroom is the master bedroom. The bed is neat and tidy, the pillows are soft, and there is a flat alarm clock on the bedside table.
The time displayed was the same as the clocks in the room and corridor, which was eleven thirty-four.
In the corner of the bedroom on the foot side, there is a wooden table, and an old-fashioned TV set is placed on the table - American hotel TVs can watch free or paid channels, including some more mature programs.
Li Ang picked up the remote control and pressed the button, but the TV that was plugged in did not turn on.
Well, you really shouldn’t have your expectations.
Li Ang threw the TV remote control on the bed, walked to the window, squatted down a little,
The windows were gray, as if covered with a thick layer of dust, and the scene outside could not be seen at all.
If you knock hard, you can only hear a dull and slight sound of dong dong.
The windows cannot be opened, and the knocking sound is very slight. There is no way to use the windows to communicate with people upstairs and downstairs.
Li Ang murmured to himself, stood up, walked back to the living room, and opened the refrigerator door.
There are more than a dozen bottles of beer of different brands in the refrigerator.
There are many water droplets hanging on the glass bottle of beer, which looks refreshing and attractive.
As a qualified player, Li Ang will naturally not eat the food in the script world, especially the food in such a weird hotel——
Players will have at least enough compressed food and water in their inventory to last for two weeks or one month.
And Li Ang himself no longer even needs to eat food, he can maintain body functions with his divine power.
Having said that, Li Ang still opened the caps of several bottles of beer, put them to his nose, and gently fanned them.
Then he reached into it with a vine and tested the wine.
The production date on the bottle is June 2007, and the shelf life is one year. The wine has not deteriorated or gone bad, and the taste is normal.
Li Ang said to himself: If the beer and refrigerator are normal, then it should be three years after 2007...
I finally know the time, although I don’t know what the use of this information is.
After a round of exploration, the time has come to eleven forty-five.
Seeing that the 00:11 curfew time was coming, Li Ang walked back to the living room, closed the main door of the room, and took out three sacks filled with soil from the backpack column.
A dozen hollow iron pipes were made from soil and pieced together to form a bracket that firmly blocked the main entrance.
Unfortunately, the length of the telephone line for the landline phone at the elevator door is limited, and alchemy cannot work on it.
Otherwise, you can anchor the phone cord to the floor and bring the hallway phone into the room to communicate with people upstairs and downstairs.
For now, all we can do is wait quietly.
Li Ang moved a stool and sat in the living room, silently staring at the door reinforced by iron pipes.
————
Judging from the shelf life and quality of the drinks, it may be after 2007 - this time may not be meaningful. Every place in the entire Dolphin Hotel reveals a strange atmosphere.
It is possible to say that this is a base for aliens to study humans.
In Room 1408 on the 14th floor, Bai Hao, who was wearing a suit, was mumbling to himself and put the opened beer bottle back into the refrigerator.
His room was a deluxe suite, much more spacious and luxurious than the room downstairs.
The players discussed tonight's strategy before they parted. Everyone should not sleep on the first night. They searched the room first to see if any of the notes mentioned in the accommodation guide appeared.
If there is no note, sit in the living room with a chair, look at the door, and wait for curfew.
If there are no abnormalities during the curfew period, search the room again for the note.
In addition to compressed food, players will also bring some drugs with different functions, such as analgesia, anesthesia, cardiac arrest rescue, and allergy treatment.
As well as medicines to cheer you up and keep you from feeling tired even if you don’t sleep for days and nights - there may be strange changes at the Dolphin Hotel at night.
No player wants to find a pale child with black eyes and a cat meowing squatting beside their bed when they go to bed at night.
Bai Haozheng had previously given a few pills that could help him avoid sleep to Danfei and Kafei who didn't bring them.
As an intelligence analyst in the Special Affairs Bureau, he handles hundreds of pieces of intelligence every day and knows far more secrets than an intelligence broker like Mule.
He knew the details of most of the people involved in this script mission.
The Black Saint on the thirteenth floor is from South Korea. His mother was once a so-called witch who could divination, exorcise evil spirits, and predict wealth. She had close connections with some powerful people in financial groups, and her family was quite powerful.
Judging from his words, deeds, and eyes, the Mekakure ghost on the twelfth floor is probably a servant or subordinate of the Black Holy Son.
Danfi and Kafi on the 11th and 10th floors should be Haitians from the Voodoo Black Witch Group.
And Bob, who lives downstairs from them, is American.
Bai Hao had seen Bob's photo in a report on local gang struggles in the United States. The old black man's organization had a close relationship with the Voodoo Black Witches.
As for 13MARK, who lives on the eighth floor, he is a subordinate of one of the Brazilian Shichibukai known as the Ant King.
Shichibukai...when did these Brazilians like to play tricks so much?
Bai Haozheng shook his head, and the figure in Yuyi's heart appeared in his mind.
This East Asian girl wearing a sailor uniform is from Hijima, her real name is Mizuhara Yumi, and she works in the ninth section of the Hijima Anomaly Investigation Bureau——
The Japanese Island Abnormal Affairs Investigation Bureau often cooperated with the Special Affairs Bureau to jointly solve some abnormal incidents. The two sides also occasionally sent personnel to each other to exchange experiences, so they were relatively familiar with each other.
The epidemic doctor on the sixth floor is a member of the Demonic Scientists Alliance.
Li Risheng on the fifth floor has appeared in many documents of the Special Affairs Bureau before. He helped solve the Mirage Dragon and Shengnan King incidents and was highly respected by Xing Hechou and Chu Yin.
Wisdom and courage, kindness and lawfulness,
It's someone you can cooperate with.
However, the other party seems to have some concerns and has always refused the invitation from the Special Affairs Bureau...
Mule on the fourth floor is a well-known intelligence broker. Liu Wushao on the third floor and Wanli Fengdao on the second floor both have close relations with the Special Affairs Bureau.
And the Ω on the last floor...
Bai Hao was sitting on a chair in the living room, frowning slightly.
He didn't know the details of the fish tank head. He acted mysteriously, and the system of the extraordinary power he displayed was not yet clear.
But when the change officially begins, the other party may not be able to hide it.
The intelligence analyst quickly went through everyone's information and glanced at the clock hanging on the wall in the living room from the corner of his eye.
It's already eleven fifty-six...
I don't know what is going on downstairs.
————
On the thirteenth floor, the Black Holy Son, covered in blood, sat on his knees on the ground, placing the blood-stained dagger in a gold plate, muttering something, and the carpet in front of him was covered with strange patterns.
On the twelfth floor, the invisible ghost holds a book in his hand and chants softly.
On the eleventh floor, Danfei from the Voodoo Black Witch Coven was sitting bored, his chair surrounded by strange puppets.
The Voodoo Black Witch Group has its own set of techniques to prevent evil spirits. No matter what the mutation is in the Dolphin Hotel, Danfei, as a Level 16 player, is confident that she can resist it.
Kafi downstairs is his biological brother, and Bob on the ninth floor is also his best friend - the three of them have been hanging out together since they were teenagers.
If something happened, he believed that Caffey and Bob would rush to rescue him at all costs.
Just like he would save them.
Five minutes left...
Danfei was talking to herself when she suddenly heard a dull tapping sound coming from her feet.
Um?
Danfei frowned, stood up, and stared at the carpet under the coffee table in the living room.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
The knocking sounds were very regular, as if someone was hitting the ceiling with a stick downstairs.
This is Morse code...
Dan Fei's brows were slightly raised on his thin and dark face. He moved the table and lifted the carpet, and found that the wooden floor where the knocking sound came from was dented.
Through the broken wooden boards, you can see the dented and broken concrete bricks.
[Brother, I am Kafei. 】
The tapping sound conveys information via Morse code,
[The ceiling here is very thin and seems to be able to transmit sound. can you hear? 】
Danfei breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the clock. It was already 00:09, only two minutes before the curfew time.
It might not be safe if you rush out of the room and run downstairs to ask your brother Kafei now.
He hesitated for a moment, then took out an obsidian battle ax from the backpack column, and gently hit the recessed part of the floor with the handle of the axe. [I can hear you, are you okay? 】
【fine. 】
Intermittent knocking came from downstairs, [Are we going to be okay? 】
【Um. 】
Danfei struck, [I will protect you. 】
Their parents were both Haitian immigrants in the United States. They originally smuggled themselves to the United States in order to live a better life. However, within a few years, they were targeted by the immigration authorities, deported and returned to Haiti.
Their parents died of illness in poverty, and the two brothers were forced to join a Haitian gang and support each other to survive until now.
Maybe other brothers and sisters will do anything to protect themselves in the killing game,
But Danfei believed that even death could not separate their brothers.
clatter.
The minute hand made a sound. Danfei looked up and saw that it was already 00:11.
Her breathing stopped involuntarily. Danfei held the obsidian battle ax tightly in her palms and stared at the wooden door with great vigilance.
One second, two seconds,
The lights in the living room are bright and dazzling, and the second hand on the clock continues to rotate.
The only sounds in the room were the hum of the refrigerator and Danfei's own heartbeat.
There were no ghosts crying or wolves howling, no changes.
Danfei breathed a sigh of relief, her feet not daring to leave the evil spirit defense circle she had set up.
Boom, boom.
There was another knocking sound from downstairs on the floor. This time the interval between knocks was much longer than before.
【elder brother. 】
A call from Kafi.
Dan Fei hesitated for a moment, then squatted down, holding the tomahawk blade, and used the ax handle to hit the sunken concrete floor, [What's wrong? 】
[Light, why did it go out? 】
