Global recovery: A century of being stuck in the game

Mask, baseball cap, high ponytail, and white and blue sportswear.

After she had packed everything, she left the villa.

Juntingfang is a high-end residential complex recently launched in Haicheng. It is fully decorated and ready for move-in.

However, it was contracted by the state on a large scale to be used as a residence for outstanding players.

Taoyao lives in the innermost villa area, which is also the most central and luxurious one in the villa area.

However, because it is halfway up the mountain, it is not easy to get a taxi.

She walked forward while looking at the taxi-hailing interface on her phone. She passed the villa area and came to the residential area, which was a little more lively.

Some people were playing ball on the community playground, a few were training not far away, and some were running.

At a glance, there were about twenty people.

I just came out of Lingyou Tower, so it’s normal to feel relaxed.

She passed by the edge of the playground, and halfway through, a football flew in front of her, followed closely by several young men running over: "Sorry, sorry, did it hit you?"

The commotion here attracted other people to look over.

She replied "No" and prepared to leave.

"Are you new here?" a girl came over and asked curiously.

After living here for a long time, they would sit together and talk about the dangers in the game when they had time, and they became familiar with each other.

Only Taoyao had never been seen by anyone, which naturally made these people very curious.

As the girl asked, they all looked over again.

But before she could answer, one of the men asked, "We are going to have dinner together tonight, do you want to join us?"

No one has seen it before, so he must be a new player.

Tao Yao: "I have something to take care of, so I won't go."

Having said that, it’s naturally hard for others to say anything else.

Only a few people were curious: "What's the matter? Do you need our help?"

Taoyao doesn't like being around a lot of people because there will always be people who will ask questions and get to the bottom of things. Even though the other party has no ill intentions and is just curious, it is still a bit annoying.

She stepped forward: "No need. Also, has anyone told you that curiosity kills the cat?"

Especially, in today's world.

After that, she left without stopping for a moment.

Leaving behind a group of people looking at each other in bewilderment.

This new guy doesn't seem to be easy to get along with...

But on second thought, what she said actually made sense, it's just that she brought the Lingyou Tower a little too much into reality.

"What happened?" Yu An came back with his men from another road and saw this scene.

"Captain Yu."

"Captain Yu!"

Everyone in the group spoke up, although of course there were a few who didn't come over.

These people talked about what happened just now, and finally concluded: "It must be because the experience in the game was too terrible, so this happened."

Yu An doesn't think so.

Most of these people are not new players who have been pulled into the game, but old players or big internal testers.

Haicheng originally had six internal test players, but now there are only three left. He has seen the other two, but has never seen the last one.

The one who just left should be this person.

Yu An also didn't know that Yao Yao was actually from Haicheng.

"Aren't you going out to eat? Go back and pack up. I've already booked a restaurant."

"it is good."

After everyone nodded in agreement, something suddenly occurred to them: "Didn't you go to the hotel where the strange thing happened?"

"Has the issue over there been resolved?"

Yu An shook his head gently: "No, but the director asked me to come back, saying that a big boss would take over..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly reacted.

So the player who has never shown up is the hidden boss of their Haicheng?

Is she coming out this time because of the hotel matter?

Thinking of this, he paused and said, "Wait a moment, I'll make a call."

After saying this, he turned around and left the crowd without waiting for others to respond.

After a while, he came back and said, "You guys go to the dinner party. I won't go."

"Captain? Is there any new mission?" the team member behind him asked.

Yu An: "It's just a personal matter. Go ahead and eat whatever you want. I'll reimburse you later!"

After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry.

Leaving others looking confused.

No, didn't you just say that we were going to have dinner together? How come you're leaving in the blink of an eye?

After Yu An left the crowd, he could no longer hold back the excitement on his face.

He just called the director and learned from him that his guess was correct and Tao Yao was indeed going to the hotel.

So he made a request to go to the hotel.

The main purpose is to learn how to deal with weird things, which they are still lacking now.

So, the director agreed to ask Taoyao for his opinion and asked him to wait for news.

After all, if you just go and learn from them, it will inevitably make people disgusted.

After all, the other party is not from the Special Operations Bureau, and can only be considered an outside staff member.

Even though things are full of uncertainty, he must be prepared and not waste this opportunity.

What if the other party agrees?

Sitting in the car, he held the steering wheel with one hand and the mobile phone with the other, nervously waiting for a call.

After a while, his cell phone suddenly rang. He first glanced at the screen, then his expression lit up with joy and he hurried to answer the call, looking quite flustered.

"Hello? Chief, what's going on over there?"

"She agreed. She just left the community and hasn't gotten a taxi yet. You go pick her up."

"Yes!" After hanging up the phone, Yu An clenched his fists and said excitedly, "Yes!"

Then he quickly calmed himself down, stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the gate, turning off the driving recorder during the driving.

Only a few minutes had passed when he arrived at the gate of the community. A team of armed soldiers was guarding the gate, and no ordinary person was allowed to enter.

He saw a man dressed in a low-key manner standing outside the door.

Open the car door: "Hello, I'm Yu An, please take care of me."

Tao Yao nodded slightly: "Let's go."

After getting in the car, Yu An introduced the hotel while driving: "Ping An Hotel is a suburban hotel. People who go out for a picnic will stay here temporarily. It is crowded every day.

I just came back from the Peace Hotel. I stayed there for a day and found it very strange. I could hear inexplicable crying every night, but when I got closer, I found nothing. Besides that, everyone living there was safe and no one was in danger. "

"There were cries, but it had no effect. If there hadn't been so many people calling the police and they couldn't find the cause, and the matter was too strange, they wouldn't have transferred it to the Special Operations Bureau."

In summary, nothing was actually found out.

"Do you think it could be a ghost?"

While he was speaking, he didn't even glance towards the passenger seat.

Tao Yao replied: "It looks a bit like that. Let's go and see what it is."

Yu An stopped talking and drove quietly.

Because the hotel is located in a remote area, it took more than an hour to drive there even if there was no traffic jam.

This is because Juntingfang, where they live, is not in the central area of ​​Haicheng, otherwise it would take more than two hours to get there.

When we got off the car, we saw a three-story hotel surrounded by some snack bars and supermarkets.

The four words "Ping An Hotel" are written on it, and the colorful lights are flashing brightly.

Entering from the gate, you can see a large courtyard with flower beds and a fountain at the back.

This is a hotel that is very thoughtfully decorated and is not small, as there are many flowers planted in the back.

When they came in and Yu An was about to take out his ID to show that he was an investigator, Tao Yao raised his hand to block him, then walked to the front desk, muttering in dissatisfaction: "I told you I didn't want to come out in such a hot day, but you insisted on coming out. Your parents are not at home, so you don't treat your sister as a human being, right? Why don't you hurry up and give me the money to check in? I want to use the air conditioning!"

Yu An's hand holding the ID card froze, and he silently took out the money, with a helpless look on his face: "I'm sorry, didn't I just want to take you out to relax? It's not good to stay at home after a breakup."

The reaction ability is pretty good.

He handed the money to the waiter and said, "Please open two rooms. We will stay for three days first."

The waiter took it and said, "Okay, I'll check you in right away. Where's your ID card?"

Yu An handed over his ID card again.

Tao Yao opened her eyes wide: "Where's mine? If you bring me out without my ID, then I won't be able to stay here..."

Yu An: “…”

His body stiffened again, which meant... he gave the wrong ID card?

"Waiter, can you please make an exception? I really forgot to bring it. I live a bit far from home, so it will be too late to go back and get it..."

The waiter nodded: "Oh, ok, here are your room cards, please take them."

Got the room card.

Tao Yao glanced at Room 304 above, and gave Yu An a wink. The two of them went upstairs together, and she kept muttering, "If it's not fun to come out, I won't go out with you next time..."

"I know, I know……"

The two are only two or three years apart in age, one in front and one behind, and they really look like a pair of siblings.

Their rooms are next to each other, one is 303 and the other is 304.

After going upstairs, Tao Yao opened the door with the room card. Yu An looked around to make sure there was no one and no cameras before following her in.

The door was closed, and Yu An was a little uneasy: "Did you find anything?"

He was really scared by what happened just now.

Is that waiter weird?

Tao Yao lightly brushed her fingers across the table, and when she lifted her fingers she was covered in dust.

Seeing this, Yu An said: "This place is crowded with people every day, how come there is dust on the table..."

Although he said that, he had already realized that something was wrong, and there was an inexplicable feeling lingering in his heart.

If the house is really crowded every day, why is there dust in it?

Besides, even if that's not the case, the room should still be cleaned by a cleaning staff.

He came yesterday in the afternoon, checked in directly and started investigating everywhere. Later, as soon as he entered the room at night, he heard crying, so he didn't go back to the room all night and didn't notice such details.

Tao Yao: "Shh, keep your voice down. This place is more troublesome than you thought. Where are the people who came with you? Call them and ask them to come over."

Yu An nodded, didn't ask why, and took out his cell phone directly.

Fortunately, the phone call was still able to go through, so I relayed Tao Yao's request and asked them to return to Ping'an Hotel immediately before hanging up.

Then he looked at Tao Yao again.

He actually wanted to ask what was going on here, but was afraid of offending others.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that there is indeed something weird here.

In fact, he hoped that this place would be the same as the copy of Lingyou Tower. At least there would be a main task and a clue. Here, there were no hints and he could only investigate and guess by himself, and the difficulty increased sharply.

Tao Yao wiped the chair with the bed sheet, sat down, and said silently: "I know what you want to ask, but now is not the time."

She pointed outside the door.

He calmed himself, took out his cell phone, turned on the front camera, held the phone high enough to see the peephole, and looked at the screen. The next second, a face appeared on the phone.

The face was almost completely leaning against the cat's eye, squinting to look inside.

And that face belonged to the waiter who had checked them in earlier!

Yu An's heart was pounding, he couldn't help swallowing, and quickly took back his phone.

As a waiter, I only work at the front desk, how could I possibly come here?

He didn't notice it at all.

How did she find out?

Yu An couldn't help but think of the scene last night when he and his team members were under surveillance almost the entire time, and his scalp tingled for a moment.

If they hadn't gone back earlier and stayed here for a few more days, he couldn't believe what would have become of them.

Can I really go back alive?

Since they can't, what about those who are staying in hotels while outing in the suburbs?

Some things are extremely terrifying when you think about them carefully. His eyes were wide open and he was already sweating coldly.

Are those people really still alive?

This thought was almost unstoppable, but fortunately after a few games, he quickly calmed down, exhaled slowly, walked over and sat down opposite Tao Yao.

It was only after he sat down that he relaxed a little and asked with his eyes: "What should we do now?"

Tao Yao opened her mouth and silently uttered one word: "Wait."

Time passed minute by minute, and after about an hour, there was a knock on the door.

"Dong dong dong..."

The sound was like a thunder in the quiet room. Yu An stood up but did not open the door.

According to the time, the others were almost there, but he couldn't be sure whether the people outside had left.

So he tried the same trick again, and sure enough, he saw the same face as before knocking on the door loudly, with a smile on his face.

His heart was pounding wildly, he held the phone in his arms and kept quiet.

After a long while, it became quiet outside.

But at this moment, the cell phone in my arms suddenly rang.

The sudden voice made him respond quickly reflexively, but he didn't say anything.

A familiar voice came from the other end: "Captain, are you in Room 304? We just asked the waiter and he said you are. Should we go over there now, or..."

He looked at Tao Yao and pointed outside the door.

Taoyao shook her head.

He then spoke: "Just come up and don't give the waiter your ID card."

"okay…"

After hanging up the phone, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Luckily you are here, otherwise we wouldn't be able to solve the problem here."
