Chapter 525 What is on the second floor of the bath center?
"Will there really be information about clearance in the diary?"

While waiting, Sun Xiaowei looked worried.

"I believe Grandpa!" Zhuge Zi said, "Since he deliberately left this diary, there must be some key information in it!"

"The main thing is that we don't have any other clues." Mao Xintong sighed, "The exit will keep changing its location, and the Void Pass is not allowed to be used. At present, all the methods we can think of are not feasible. We can only hope for the experience of our predecessors."

"But what if we can't find any useful clues in the diary..." Ma Qiao said with a bitter face, very pessimistic.

"Don't worry." Luo Jun encouraged with a smile: "There is always a way out!"

Although he did not have any substantive opinions, his optimistic attitude still infected everyone to some extent.

After more than a month in this maze, Luo Jun led the team most of the time. At first, some people were dissatisfied, thinking that the most respected Yuan Lao should be the leader, but unexpectedly, Yuan Lao also respected Luo Jun's opinions. Along the way, under Luo Jun's leadership, although they did not find a way to break the deadlock, at least they survived without worries, and they were constantly acquiring new information to advance the progress of the clearance.

It would be fine if there was no comparison, but the remains of predecessors that one occasionally sees and the records in Zhuge Qian's diary all tell us how difficult it is to maintain a stable life in the maze.

In comparison, the team led by Luo Jun might be the one that has the easiest life since the maze appeared.

Although they still called him junior, Xiao Luo...but subconsciously, everyone had already regarded him as the backbone. As long as he had a smile on his face, others would feel at ease.

But Luo Jun was unsure...

If there really isn't enough information in the diary, then there's only one solution left...

Follow the exit indicator and smash the wall to get out!

However, this move can only be used as a last resort, because the exit will change, the indicator can only indicate one hour, and although Luo Jun now has the ability to break the wall, it is not so easy. With this method, the movement speed will definitely be greatly limited. In addition, the walls of the maze consume a lot of vitality, even with Luo Jun's energy, endurance is still a problem.

To sum up, if you really want to break out of the wall, you will probably need a lot of exit indicators to keep trying, and naturally a lot of money, which is another long process.

But the replacement of the maze is ongoing every moment, and Luo Jun can't afford to delay...

The only consolation is that, judging from the diary, Zhuge Qian and his men have not been replaced for more than a month and a half, so Luo Jun should still have time...

The key lies in the evening diary!

At half past eleven, everyone returned to the location where the store was previously located on time.

"It's a dead end, there's only walls..." Sun Xiaowei blinked: "They won't stop coming, will they?"

Luo Jun shook his head: "It's okay, we still have the map in our hands. Even if he doesn't show up, we can find a new store. He can't run away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the wall suddenly twisted, and then the familiar window and plaque emerged.

"The store really appeared!" Everyone was surprised. Luo Jun smiled and walked forward and knocked on the window. Soon, the fat businessman poked his head out with a smile on his face: "The customer is so punctual."

"Where is what I want?" Luo Jun stretched out his hand.

The businessman turned around and flipped through the pages, then took out a few diaries. "Thanks to your fifty thousand dollars, we used some special means. These are all the diaries we could find. Even if there are still missing ones, we can't do anything about it."

Luo Jun nodded, took it and looked at it. There were four in total.

Is that all?
Everyone gathered around and started reading the diary together.

There are two entries that don't have any important content. They mainly record the process of using the enhanced version of the monster-luring incense to kill monsters. If you had found this diary earlier, you could have increased the rate at which you make money.

There is another one, which according to the description should be a relatively early diary. Although the four people had cash in their hands at that time, they had not been to a store for a long time and their supplies were cut off. When they were starving, they suddenly came across a luxurious hotel.

According to the description in the diary, the ticket to the hotel costs 2,000 yuan per person. Once inside, the hotel is very luxurious. It is divided into two floors. The first floor includes accommodation, bathing, dining, and entertainment. There are also many staff members serving, handsome men and beautiful women. As long as you pay the ticket, you can enjoy all the services on the first floor within 24 hours. However, the hotel is only open for 24 hours. Even if you pay more, you can't extend the time and send guests on time.

Unless you go to the second floor, you can extend your stay for an additional twelve hours, but each person has to pay an additional three thousand.

According to the description in the diary, the four of them enjoyed themselves well on the first floor, had enough food and drink, and changed into clean clothes. However, because the diary was updated at midnight every day, it only recorded half of their experience in this luxurious hotel. It is not known whether they went to the second floor later, and no one knows what was on the second floor.

"This record seems to be a bath center..." Ma Qiao touched his chin and sighed: "I think it's number 38..."

"Number 38? What does that mean?" Sun Xiaowei looked innocent.

"Kids, don't ask about social affairs!" Luo Jun interrupted.

"Aren't you younger than me?" Sun Xiaowei pouted angrily, looking indignant.

"But what's recorded here is much more luxurious than ordinary bathing centers..." Ma Qiao said enviously: "Why haven't we encountered one? We are not short of money, we can go to the second floor to take a look..."

Mao Xintong looked at him with disdain: "Can you think of something serious?"

"I think this is a serious matter!" Luo Jun said suddenly. Mao Xintong and Zhuge Zi looked at him at the same time, both with surprised expressions.

"This is an endless maze after all." Elder Yuan said, "No matter how normal the entertainment facilities here look, there must be something fishy going on. The second floor might really be hiding some incredible secrets."

Luo Jun nodded: "The more information we get when exploring the maze, the more mysteries we will find. This second floor is currently a mystery. If we can solve it, we may find a breakthrough to pass it."

"It's not ruled out that Grandpa and the others went up to the second floor the next day." Zhuge Zi looked at the diary: "According to the records in it, when they encountered the hotel, they still had a lot of money in their hands, which should be enough to open the second floor... I think if they have this opportunity, they will definitely explore it."

"But the truth is no longer known." Luo Jun shook his head and picked up the last page: "This page has nothing to do with what happened in the hotel."

This page of the diary should be the day after they encountered the army of virtual monsters. The main content is that they found a black store through the map and planned to ask about the Void Pass. After knocking on the door, a middle-aged bald man with a ring finger came out. The bald man went crazy immediately after he came out and began to mutate and attack the four people. They took a lot of effort to finally escape, and in the end they didn't understand why the black store that they could communicate normally before suddenly didn't welcome them.

Zhuge Qian in the diary didn't know, but the people outside the diary could guess. Obviously, among these four people, there was a guy who had been replaced by a chaotic creature. According to the information we have obtained before, the most likely one is Aliang who came back alone after encountering the chaotic monster!
If you are injured by a chaos monster, there is a high probability that you will be invaded by a large amount of chaos matter, just like Ling Jian. If there is no special method to reduce metabolism, it will be replaced in a very short time.

But what's the point of knowing this? There's still no useful information in the diary that can break the deadlock...

"Are these all the diaries?" Luo Jun shook the diary in his hand and looked at the fat businessman: "Can't find even one?"

"We have already used some extraordinary measures that are inconvenient to talk about." The businessman laughed and said, "If we still can't find it, it means that the remaining diaries have either been destroyed or hidden..."

"Hide?" Luo Jun raised his eyebrows: "By whom?"

"That's hard to say." The fat businessman shrugged his shoulders. "You should know that there are more forces than just ours in this maze."

Luo Jun sighed imperceptibly. After sensing the discouragement of the others behind him, he still forced himself to cheer up and turned around and said, "Let's not give up. Take out all the diaries we have obtained so far and go through them again. Maybe there are clues that we haven't noticed before!"

At present, everyone has collected a total of ten diaries. Judging from the damaged state of the diaries, sixteen pages should have been torn off. Most of the diaries that had been read before were given to Zhuge Zi for safekeeping. The girl took out these diaries and spread them out together with the ones in Luo Jun's hand.

"In fact, we have collected most of the diaries." Luo Jun frowned and said, "But obviously, there is still a lot of key information missing. But we can still get a glimpse of it from the diaries we have obtained."

"If we want to restore the story of these sixteen days, we'd better sort it out in order first!" Luo Jun took a look at the torn parts of the diary. They once tried to piece together the diary by matching the torn pieces, but failed. At present, if they want to judge the order, they can only rely on the content!

"First, we can clearly see the order of precedence. The pages that mention making money with the Monster-Attracting Incense must be before the page that exchanges for the exit indicator... Then we can be sure of the last page, and then..."

Several people began to sort them according to the content and roughly restored the order.

"How do I calculate the page for going to the bath center?" Ma Qiao asked, holding his favorite page.

"This page should be closer to the front..." Mao Xintong said, "They are obviously in a tight financial situation... But seeing as they still have savings, it shouldn't be on the first page. I guess it should be around the fifth page?"

Luo Jun also nodded: "I think it makes sense." Then he took the page and put it in the front.

"Wait..." Zhuge Zi suddenly interrupted Luo Jun: "I think, maybe it's not right..."

"What's wrong?" Others looked at Zhuge Zi curiously, only to see her pick up the diary and point to a paragraph.

"It's been a long time since I entered this maze, but this is the first time I have such a relaxing moment. We came to the restaurant and there were a wide variety of high-end dishes to choose from, but my eyes were attracted by the most ordinary cold noodles."

"I remember when I was young, I traveled to the north. When I first met Xiaolian, she treated me to cold noodles. It was the first time I ate noodles with such a strange texture. Seeing me choking, Xiaolian laughed."

"Today is Xiaolian's birthday, so I couldn't help but serve her another bowl of cold noodles..."

"I'm still not used to the food..."

…………

"What's wrong with this part?" Ma Qiao was confused: "Have you southerners never eaten cold noodles?"

"It's not Lengmian's problem!" Luo Jun saw the clue and said, "Xiao Lian's birthday can be used to calculate the date of this diary page!"

Zhuge Zi nodded: "Xiao Lian is my grandmother. Her birthday is on June 18th. If we count from the day my grandfather disappeared..."

As he spoke, Zhuge Zi opened the diary and began to count the pages one by one. Finally, he counted to his grandmother's birthday and inserted this page of the diary.

"This is..." Everyone was surprised after seeing it: "The third day from the last?"

That’s right, according to the date calculation, this page of the diary is the third to last day, and there is only one day between them and their final annihilation!
"How can this be?!"

Sun Xiaowei's eyes widened. "So, they were still enjoying life in the hotel that day, and then something happened the next day, and they all died on the third day?"

"Not necessarily..." Mao Xintong shook her head and said, "The speed of time flowing inside the maze is different from that outside..."

"But people in the maze don't know how much the flow rate differs." Yuan Lao said, "Xiao Qianzi has no reference. He can only calculate the date based on the flow rate of time in the maze. So, it's correct to put this page of the diary here!"

"So the bath center is actually a trap?" Ma Qiao was still frightened: "Damn it, I should have never encountered it!"

"No!" Luo Jun picked up the diary and shook his head: "Look at the beginning of the diary today. Before I met the hotel, the words were full of frustration of not being able to leave..."

"At this time, they had already experienced all kinds of failures before, and it was the most desperate time... But if you look at the diary of the last day, it hints that it can help future generations leave the maze, which means that something very important must have happened on the second to last day!"

"They must have gone up to the second floor!" Ma Qiao said confidently, "Didn't it say on the last page, 'Finally escaped'? It must mean escaping from the bathing center!"

"Not necessarily. It also mentions not to eat things from black shops!" Mao Xintong said, "This means they must have gone to a black shop again after leaving the bath center."

“Not necessarily…” Luo Jun shook his head and said, “Look at the beginning of the hotel page. It vaguely mentioned that when they were extremely hungry, they also ate food bought from black shops. Maybe that was when the seeds of disaster were sown…”

"After eating the food from the black shop and going to the hotel, something terrible will happen?" Yuan Lao analyzed: "And this incident may also give them new clues to leave the maze?"

"It seems that our next target is this mysterious hotel!" Having said that, Luo Jun looked at the fat businessman again and found that this guy was quietly closing the window.

Luo Jun pulled him apart and asked with a smile, "We are friends, right? Would it be convenient for you to reveal some more information?"
