I Wasn't Born Lucky

"what--"

The night in the late night hotel was supposed to be extremely peaceful and peaceful, but it was broken by a shrill scream.

"Is there anyone? Here, someone died here!"

The one who screamed was a woman. In fact, if there were reincarnators present, it would be discovered that she was Lin Ruo in the opening CG.

She had just taken a shower, her whole body was covered with steam, and she was wrapped in a bathrobe, but she was sitting in the hall on the first floor, unable to say anything.

"What's the matter? It's so late. What do you call it? We have to get up early tomorrow to climb the mountain."

Accompanied by Lin Ruo's scream, several plot characters came out of the room on the first floor one after another. Mr. Hu yawned and muttered dissatisfiedly while wearing his silk pajamas.

But in the next second, his eyes widened, his drowsiness disappeared, and he let out a scream from his throat: "Ah——! Come on! Call the police!"

Along with the panic of these plot characters, relieved reincarnations appeared one after another from the second and third floors.

But there are still some people who are unwilling to come out, because no one knows whether the evil spirit will continue after killing the first person, but most of the reincarnated people chose to come down to check the clues.

The first young man who arrived at the scene and was closest to the stairs on the second floor, his name was Jiang Linwen, took a breath after seeing the picture in the hall first, and was wrapped up by the crowd who came after him.

There was a dead body thrown in the middle of the hall. It was in large characters as a whole. It was Luo Yan. There was still a shocked expression on his face, as if someone who killed him was someone he didn't expect, and the whole person was gone. Breathe, stiffen all over.

The back of his head hit the ground, splashing a bloody flower, blackening the hotel floor.

There was only a bloody hole left in Luo Pan's nose, as if something was hiding inside, peeping at everyone.

"His body was thrown from upstairs." Jiang Linwen said first, his eyes swept over everyone present one by one, and he remembered everyone's expressions in his heart, "Miss, you are the first discovered?"

Under his gaze, Lin Ruo swallowed, and she resisted the urge to vomit: "Yes, yes... I couldn't sleep, so I wanted to come out to get some air, go out and wait for the sunrise, but I just passed by You can see this scene in the hall."

"That's it..." Jiang Linwen said, "Did you hear anything?"

The last sentence he asked was everyone.

But most people chose to remain silent, and only a few people answered this question:

"I only heard slight footsteps. A quarter of an hour ago, it stopped at the door of a certain room, and then there was no sound."

"I didn't hear anything, I didn't dare to look, I only dared to hear the sound, it passed by my door."

Jiang Linwen asked: "What does the footstep sound like? Tall, short, fat, and thin, there is no clue?"

Those who answered the question glanced at him and shook their heads collectively: "No."

Even if there was, they wouldn't say it out—if the evil spirits were hiding among these people, wouldn't it be self-inflicted to say it out?

There was only one girl among them, she was thin and inconspicuous, she shrank her neck: "I heard it, the sound seemed to be...a person walking on tiptoe."

"I practice ballet on weekdays, and this is the sound of walking."

"Xiao Tu!" The man next to the girl immediately covered her mouth and apologized in a panic, "I'm sorry, my sister is talking nonsense, she is young and not sensible."

In the corridor in the middle of the night, evil spirits walking on tiptoes...

The expressions of the people present were different, but Jiang Linwen imagined the scene at that time, and felt that his throat was dry.

When Mr. Hu saw this, he immediately took out his mobile phone: "It's not our business to catch the murderer, just call the police, I'll find the driver, and we'll leave overnight..."

Lin Ruo lowered her head and said nothing.

Jiang Linwen didn't stop him, and watched Mr. Hu press the call button and put the phone to his ear, but then Mr. Hu put down the phone again: "Damn, there is no signal in this mountain!"

This is not surprising, although the mobile phones of the characters in the plot can get through the numbers in this world, but once this happens, the dungeon world will often choose to close all contact methods.

In other words, no matter how Mr. Hu wants to leave, he won't be able to connect to the outside world until the reincarnation completes the task.

"Mr. Hu, where is our driver? Why don't we just drive away?" Peng Yue suggested, and got the support of the bald man.

But Mr. Hu shook his head and said: "I asked him to go back a long time ago. He agreed to pick us up in three days. There is no car now."

The mountain road is rugged, without a car, walking on two legs alone, I am afraid that it will take several days to walk, and it may not be possible to walk.

"What about the boss, why is there no boss for such a big matter?!" Peng Yue asked in a low voice, "He should have a way to contact the outside world..."

Everyone searched around, but they didn't see the hotel owner. They didn't even know where the owner lived. After dinner, he seemed to have disappeared.

Obviously weird.

There should be other secrets in this hotel, but Jiang Linwen doesn't think the boss is an evil spirit because he is too obvious.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps coming from the hotel's gate, and they were gradually approaching.

It was still late at night outside the hotel, and the sky was dark.

In the past, the stars on this kind of mountain would be very clear, but this is not the case on Lingxi Mountain. It is as black as velvet, covering the whole world, and no one can tell who will come in from the dark outside.

Jiang Linwen took a step back calmly, letting Mr. Hu and others stand in front of him.

The footsteps were getting closer, and a teenager in a windbreaker entered their field of vision.

Coincidentally, because of the conversation between this man and Mr. Hu during dinner time, most of the people present really knew him.

Xiao Li pushed open the door from the outside of the hotel, and in the blink of an eye, he saw a black crowd looking at him, he clenched the purple umbrella that was about to fall in his hand in surprise, and blinked: "... so many people. "

Zheng Yi who was in the crowd: "... Hercule, what are you doing out so late?"

He asked the question everyone wanted to ask.

Xiao Li's eyes fell on the umbrella in his hand.

He couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and the evil spirit he had been waiting for didn't move, so he opened the window and went out to the east, preparing to do side missions—but who knows how far he got lost, Lost in the Lingxi Mountain in the dark night, unable to tell the north, south, east, and west, it was the little black cat that replaced the function of the dog in the end and led him back.

But if you tell the truth, you will definitely have to spend a lot of time explaining the side missions.

Xiao Li finally chose an excuse: "I was planning to go to the east to watch the sunrise, but I didn't find a good place on the way, so I came back."

Zheng Yi immediately turned his attention to Lin Ruo, who also said before that he wanted to go out to watch the sunrise.

At this moment, Jiang Linwen asked in a deep voice, "What are you doing with your umbrella when you go out? It's not raining now."

Xiao Li: "I guess it should rain tomorrow, just in case, so I brought it with me."

Jiang Linwen opposite him frowned.

If the characters in the plot want to go out to watch the sunrise, then it makes sense, after all, they don't know the existence of ghosts, and the scenery of Lingxi Mountain is good, but this man named Hercule is a reincarnation, so how could he go out in the middle of the night...

Could it be that he is that evil spirit?

Jiang Linwen's eyes flickered, he chose to skip this topic and wait for more clues before making inferences.

Zheng Yi walked up to Xiao Li, and he elbowed Xiao Li: "Look, the first victim."

Xiao Li glanced down at Luo Pan's corpse on the ground, and listened to Zheng Yi recounting to him what happened just now. When he heard what the little girl said, his expression moved slightly, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he glanced at the crowd - Shen Mizhi was not in there.

Ye Zeqing walked to the side of the corpse, squatted down, and made a seal with his hands.

"What are you doing?" Mr. Hu asked.

Ye Zeqing said: "My family has some knowledge about psychics. I will try to summon his soul and ask for some clues."

Mr. Hu sneered and said, "What a mess, are you making a film? Isn't this funny?"

As soon as he said that, Jiang Linwen's eyes lit up, and he whispered, "Ye family...?"

Among the reincarnators in the country, the Ye family's reputation is considered to be top-notch. Everyone wants to learn the art of controlling ghosts, but only the Ye family has gone the farthest on this road due to the family's physique.

Besides Brother Ye, the most famous member of the Ye family is Yan Luo.

According to the revelations in the forum, he seems to often arrange dungeons with Moriarty, and he is a good friend of the other party.

Ye Zeqing smeared a little of Luo Pan's blood on the ground, drew a miniature version of the magic circle, and said casually: "The souls of those who have passed away, come back—"

There was an invisible wind blowing through the lobby of the hotel, the wind was strange, coupled with the lying corpse, Mr. Hu felt uneasy, and sat back directly on the chair beside him.

But just when the gust of wind was about to gather on Luo Yan, it seemed to be stopped by some kind of supernatural power.

"Failed." Ye Zeqing clapped his hands, "His soul has been swallowed by evil spirits, and he cannot be summoned."

"It's also inevitable."

Jiang Linwen comforted him.

Mr. Hu tasted a different meaning from their words: "You, who are you guys? It doesn't look like you are here to travel? I warn you——"

Jiang Linwen interrupted him: "We are special personnel. We came here to solve the problem after we received news that there was a supernatural event here. You were just unlucky to encounter this problem. I hope you can cooperate with us to solve it. Everyone will be happy."

Mr. Hu was dumbfounded: "What the hell?! Are you lying to a three-year-old?"

Jiang Linwen frowned, and was about to let Mr. Hu accept the truth, but suddenly heard a voice, which made him freeze on the spot.

It was a faint, fluttering laughter, like a thunderbolt hitting everyone's ears:

"Hee hee hee hee hee hee……"

"Someone came here again... looking for death, hehehe."
