Horror Game: Cthulhu Fairy Tales

Chapter 36: Hotel Pinono (15)

Xie Yueye was twirling the dagger in his hand. Just as he walked to the elevator hall, the light above his head flashed and the whole space became a little darker.

"Squeak--squeak--"

The emergency corridor opposite the elevator suddenly opened and began to swing back and forth, making noises.

Xie Yueye was not surprised. After arriving at the hotel, he felt as if something was following him. Now this thing was obviously losing its patience and wanted to cause trouble for him.

"Creak - creak -"

Suddenly, there was a sound of broken wooden stairs being stepped on in the stairwell.

Xie Yueye chuckled and ignored him. The security guard who was here just now disappeared, so he knew that someone was going to cause trouble.

“Click—click—”

More and more strange noises came out from the stairwell little by little. The man continued to turn his back to the door, twirling the dagger in his hand.

“Click—”

After the last sound, the sound stopped.

The lights flickered several times before completely losing power and dimming.

"Dang——dang——"

The sound of the bell suddenly appeared in this quiet space, which seemed very strange.

A smile appeared on the man's lips in the darkness, but it disappeared in an instant.

The sound of the pendulum became faster and faster, like a death warrant, urging the creatures in the dark.

There was a sudden sound of the chain swinging, and then it collided with the metal.

The sound of intertwined metal colliding continued to ring out, and after a few moments, it became quiet again.

Suddenly, the only sound left was the elevator running.

“Click—”

The elevator door slowly opened, illuminating the dark space.

The elevator was empty with only one seat left and the announcement was not heard, which made it seem even more eerie.

The man held the sickle in his hand and slowly walked to the elevator. He looked back, smiled, then entered the elevator and pressed the button.

The elevator door slowly closed, there were a few sounds of electricity, and the lights suddenly lit up, illuminating the huge monster lying on the ground and entangled in chains, and then went out instantly.

After the light came on again, the entire elevator hall returned to its former tranquility. The security guards slowly walked out of the corridor and stood in their respective positions like two robots.

Xie Yueye looked at the elevator moving downwards, the smile on his lips disappeared, and he waited expressionlessly for his destination.

"Ding—We're on the first floor~"

The usually calm female voice that reported suddenly changed into that of a naughty girl.

The corners of Xie Yueye's mouth twitched slightly, but he regained his composure in an instant.

When the man walked out of the elevator, he saw that the lobby on the first floor was unusually quiet, and the security guards and players he had seen before were nowhere to be seen.

The restaurant in the distance was also much quieter than usual, with only a few scattered people sitting there, and it was impossible to tell whether they were players or NPCs.

Xie Yueye thought about it and turned to walk towards the restaurant.

The people in the restaurant were wandering around aimlessly, not noticing the person who came in.

The people eating were scattered here and there, not talking to each other, just sitting there quietly eating.

As soon as Xie Yueye entered the room, he looked around openly. He didn't see anyone turning to look at him, so he understood the current situation.

After a leisurely meal, Xie Yueye walked to the front desk.

"Knock Knock-"

After knocking twice on the wood of the front desk, the person sitting inside looked up, and Xie Yueye felt that the other person looked familiar.

"Dear guest - you - you -"

The woman at the front desk started to get stuck in the middle of her speech, and her mechanical voice started to become less straight.

"You-you-don't-save--"

The other receptionist who had not yet stood up also had tears flowing from her right eye. She also began to utter strange words: "Save - save - me -"

Xie Yueye listened carefully and could tell the other person was muttering words for help.

He thought about it and remembered that the two people sitting at the front desk were the players who had appeared in the restaurant before.

"help me……"

Both receptionists shed tears, but their bodies were completely unable to move.

Xie Yueye looked at the other party. He could save Huang Xiang from the monster's mouth, but he had no way to deal with this person who was deprived of his body and mind.

"beg……"

The receptionist had just said one word when her eyes suddenly lost their luster and she sat down quietly.

Looking at the silent receptionist, Xie Yueye turned and left. He knew that some things had to happen according to the rules.

When night came, this time without Fu Xingchen following him, Xie Yueye went to the door of the kitchen alone.

When Xie Yueye walked out of the elevator with a handful of shiny gold in his hand, he felt that many pairs of eyes were staring at him.

He looked towards the dark front desk, but there was no sign of anyone.

Xie Yueye looked at the key in his hand in embarrassment. He was not like that smooth-talking man who could take the key and try one by one. But it was obvious that the key could not enter the door to the back kitchen today, so some things were unclear.

"Ding——dang——"

The sound of keys turning was particularly noticeable in the quiet hall.

There are also two pairs of red eyes in the foreground, emerging from the darkness.

"Which one is it..."

Xie Yueye remembered that day Fu Xingchen seemed to have taken a key and inserted it and turned it, but was interrupted by the two receptionists who rushed over.

A ray of moonlight shone in from the darkness, shining directly onto a key, and Xie Yueye also saw the strange mark on it.

It was a strange "T"-shaped mark that reflected a strange red light under the moonlight.

Xie Yueye picked up the key, threw the rest away, and then inserted it into the keyhole. He heard a "click" and the door opened.

"Roar!!!!"

Cheers followed.

In the dim light, the man leaned back to avoid a fatal attack.

"By borrowing a human body, you are so agile?"

Xie Yueye smiled lightly, lay down on the ground, kicked his feet and slid out, avoiding the attack of another monster.

"Roar!!!"

The two monsters were attacked by the man who dodged them, and they roared angrily and rushed towards the man again.

The man started playing with the two monsters with a smile on his face.

At this time, several layers deep underground, the huge and mysterious roar had become much smaller, and the power of the attack had also been much smaller.

"Hey, this big guy is not doing well."

Huang Xiang had a cigarette between his lips and a big knife in his hand. Blood from some unknown creature was slowly dripping from the knife.

"Ah."

The baby-faced man at the side just responded softly and didn't want to utter another word.

"Hey, don't look so sullen."

The yellow-haired man came over and looked at the man who didn't want to pay attention to him, with a playful smile on his face, hoping to tease the other person.

"Look, it's angry again."

Qian Nan took a step back, still not wanting to pay attention to the other party.

Seeing the person who was obviously too angry to talk, Huangmao wanted to continue coaxing him, but was interrupted by the huge mysterious one who rushed over again.

"Roar--"

The huge mysterious creature looked at the two humans huddled together in front of it. Even though it was not a human, it knew what the two were doing so closely together. It got so angry that it punched them again.

The two men dodged backwards, looking at the cracked ground in front of them, Qian Nan finally felt that he could no longer bear it.

"Hey, don't worry, I'm going to deal with this idiot first, wait for me."

While Huang Xiang was talking, he took the opportunity to kiss the man on the face.

"you!"

Qian Nan kicked at the man, but he dodged.

Looking at the person who was obviously angry, Huang Xiang smiled twice, then shook the knife in his hand.

"Wait for me a moment."

Looking at the yellow-haired man rushing forward, Qian Nan rolled his eyes behind him. Although he didn't know who this man was, he looked similar to his boss who was grinning at Brother Xie.

"Hey, big guy, come here, let me, your grandpa, play with you. After playing with you, I also want to make out with my little baby."

Hearing the yellow-haired man's nonsense in the distance, Qian Nan was wondering whether he should just swallow him up as well.

"what are you thinking about?"

The sudden voice of a child in his ear made him shudder.

"Why...are you here?"

Qian Nan was startled. When he turned around and was about to attack, he saw the child behind him.

"Why can't I be here?"

The other person looked like a child, spoke in a child's voice and said things that only a child would say, causing Qian Nan's face to twitch instantly.

"Stop talking like that."

Qian Nan didn't want to know why the other party appeared here like this. He turned around and looked at the man who was still having fun playing secret games with the big guy in the distance, and he sighed.

"That's not what you want to do."

"Yes, it's not here, but there is someone I want to see."

Looking at the other party's self-righteous tone, Qian Nan felt a headache. Now the boss would not take the initiative to contact him, and he could do nothing about the thing in front of him.

Thinking that if anyone saw the other person, he would be scolded and maybe even punished, Qian Nan wanted to think of a way to make the other person leave quickly, but not let the yellow-haired guy see him.

"You seem anxious?"

The short child stood on tiptoe, looked closer at Qian Nan, a hint of joy showing on his face.

"Haha, if you don't want to suffer under the boss's orders, just leave now."

"No, no! I know he's coming, I want to see him!"

The child pulled Qian Nan's clothes by his chin, pretending to be a spoiled child and refusing to let go.

Qian Nan gritted his teeth as he thought about the exercises that would scare him even now.

"Since you won't leave...I can only..."

Just as the child was about to continue to act coquettishly, he was enveloped by the mist, and then...

"Hey, hey... don't be here..."

The two were shrouded in darkness and fog. Even though they were close, they couldn't see clearly what was happening inside. The one who was playing with the huge mystery in the distance had no idea what was happening.

"bump--"

There was a loud thud of something heavy falling to the ground, and the huge mysterious man, whose strength was exhausted, fell to the ground with wounds all over his body and a knife in his chest.

"Hahahaha, you're like this and you still want to send people to pick a fight with me? You're not worthy!"

The yellow-haired man kicked Guimi's chest twice, then pulled out his big knife.

"tui!"

After spitting, the man left Guimi and returned to the place where he and Qian Nan had separated before.

"Huh? Where did they go?"

The yellow-haired man scratched the back of his head and found that the baby-faced man was no longer there.

"Hey! Are you shy?!"

The yellow-haired man's voice echoed several times in the huge parking lot, but obviously no one in this space responded to his expectations.

"I wanted to..."

Huang Xiang narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of nostalgia for the erotic scene that was about to happen.

"Forget it - I'll go find it after I'm done with my work, young master."

Carrying the knife on his shoulder, Huang Xiang walked in another direction.

The only light left in the darkness was the cigarette smoke.
