Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 40: Running Away is a Science

Intelligence September?

Several people and their companion monsters looked at each other in surprise. This sounded like an incredible title.

Just as they were secretly trying to figure out how powerful Intelligence September was, the little fox, who had just checked in, walked towards them. She raised the room card in her hand and said, "Although the expenses this time are reimbursed by the organization, we still have to abide by the virtue of frugality and book three single rooms. Each person and their companion demon will live in one room."

When distributing the room cards, she couldn't help feeling regretful.

Such a plot appeared in the comic book she recently downloaded on her mobile phone.

Jiu Yue originally scoffed at romance comics, but recently, she found a unique way to read them.

First, put yourself in the shoes of the heroine, and then imagine the hero as Mr. Ming Yuan. Suddenly, those dull and boring daily chores become interesting, and can even be described as exciting.

The business of this hotel named Congyun is not very prosperous and there are always a lot of empty rooms all year round, so it is not the case that all the double bed rooms are booked and only the king bed rooms are left.

The hotel’s dismal current situation is closely related to its business strategy.

The operators are determined to make as much money as possible, and the room rates are higher than those of five-star luxury hotels. The customer base is firmly locked on those paranormal fans who like to follow the trend and join in the fun.

In fact, apart from fans of the supernatural, no normal person would be willing to live in such an old and dilapidated place.

"We don't have any problem, but...are you guys staying in the same room?"

Tang Qianqian raised an objection.

"This is the most scientific method of allocation. It depends on the tacit understanding between the companion monster and the object of affinity, or it may be the combination of the strengths and weaknesses of the team."

Jiu Yue had already thought of a bunch of reasons. Although she was answering Tang Qianqian's question, she kept looking at Duan Mingyuan. "My life energy is 0, and I am undoubtedly the weakest link in the team, so it is the most reasonable arrangement for Mingyuan and I to live in the same room first."

"That was not what I meant."

Tang Qianqian coughed lightly and said seriously, "I mean, can I come over tonight? Or can I watch it live? To be honest, I'm very interested in this."

She was really happy for her senior. When she was in the company before, she felt that it was a pity to lose such an outstanding person like her senior.

And September is a fox demon.

Based on her years of experience in watching TV dramas, who in this world doesn't want to have a sweet love affair with a fox demon?
"Don't think about unnecessary things all the time."

Duan Mingyuan interrupted the conversation that was gradually going off track, "I chose this place for a reason. After a member of the organization disappeared here, Dajiang designated this place as an area where private investigation is prohibited."

"But senior, don't you find it strange?"

Tang Qianqian pointed at the entrance of the hotel and said, "If there really is something evil here, why can those psychic enthusiasts leave alive?"

There were indeed some missing cases circulating on the Internet, but basically there was no solid evidence, and their authenticity was somewhat similar to the chat records forwarded in the group. She was also skeptical when looking up the information. If so many murders had really occurred in the Murakumo Hotel and countless people had disappeared there, then even Kogoro Mouri could see that there was a big problem here.

As long as the Yunlong City came to investigate, the hotel would be sealed off immediately. How on earth has it been able to survive until today?
"It seems you finally realized it."

He felt that as long as Tang Qianqian read his manuscript carefully, she would be able to notice the unusualness of Congyun Hotel.

However, considering the other party's learning efficiency, he still reminded, "Evil spirits in the 'internship' stage usually do not have independent thinking. Once they encounter prey, they will pounce on it regardless of everything. Therefore, for this type of evil spirits, there is no such thing as 'controlling diet'."

But this is clearly not the case at Congyun Hotel.

Some new urban legends are born here almost every month. In the circle of supernatural enthusiasts, this place has become one of the holy places. However, if all the horrific legends are investigated in depth, they will eventually lead to the conclusion that they cannot be confirmed.

On the other hand, although the bloggers who came to shoot videos and check in did encounter some bizarre events, they were always within people's acceptable range, and these people eventually left the hotel safely.

The rumors, both true and false, have undoubtedly become the best publicity. If there are any supernatural enthusiasts passing through Yunlong City, they will definitely come to this holy place to check in and take pictures.

The evil spirit that exists here is a special individual who knows how to run a hotel.

“Official employee!”

Tang Qianqian suddenly realized. The manuscript mentioned that when the evil spirit passed the intern stage, it would gradually develop independent consciousness.

Duan Mingyuan expressed his own judgment, "In my opinion, it seems more like an evil spirit has entered the stage of building a nest here."

And judging from the situation at the Congyun Hotel, the evil spirit that built its nest is probably more sophisticated than the one that previously lurked in the abandoned construction site. It is very likely that it has already integrated into human society.

For the two rookies, the evil spirits that built a nest were far beyond their ability to deal with. If it were not for the upcoming commission, Duan Mingyuan would not have intended to adopt such an approach that was almost like forcing things to happen.

However, reality is not like fiction, where equally matched opponents are arranged at every stage.

The Night Scourge and its companions are undoubtedly terrifying creatures that have completed the nest-building stage.

"Senior, are you serious?"

Tang Qianqian still remembers the experience of being defeated by the Red-Eyed Demon. You have to know that the powerful enemy who appeared and disappeared mysteriously in a fight only had a life energy of 5. From a macro perspective, it is not an exaggeration to describe him as a worthless person.

Although she is now equipped with a set of divine clothes, it is still too difficult for her to challenge two levels in a row.

"This special training is not to enable you to defeat the evil spirits at the nesting stage. The only thing you need to learn is how to escape from the range of influence of this level of evil spirits."

Duan Mingyuan continued his previous thinking and implemented the organization’s early ideological policy of “run away if you can’t win.”

Running away is also a science.

For him, this is also a new practice.

He has encountered countless evil spirits since he was a child, and he has never chosen to retreat in any encounter.

But for Tang Qianqian and Yang Ping at this stage, this is undoubtedly the most helpful practice for them at the moment.

"……what?"

Tang Qianqian was stunned for a long while. "Shouldn't we work together and fight side by side, relying on friendship and bond to defeat the strong enemy?"

"Don't do unnecessary things."

At this moment, the "blade" radar in Duan Mingyuan's heart issued a strong warning.

Upon closer inspection, neither Tang Qianqian nor Yang Ping are the type to be worry-free.

Tang Qianqian has a carefree personality and is undoubtedly the one most likely to be killed on first sight among all people. In the story, she is the type of person who "helps her companions to spy on the secret of the enemy's abilities through her own sacrifice."

Although Yang Ping is extremely intelligent, he is at the most delicate age in his life. Coupled with his introverted personality, it is easy for him to become a character who is "silent on weekdays, but blocks the knife for his companions at the critical moment. People only discover that he is a gentle person until the last moment of his life."

Duan Mingyuan looked from all directions and felt as if there were two invisible knives hanging over their heads.

"I am the senior, and you are the juniors."

He emphasized again, "From now on, get rid of words like friendship, bond, and sacrifice from your heads. Once you encounter an opponent of this level, you have only one task, which is to escape from them, and then tell me the approximate location of the enemy when it is safe. It is the duty of the seniors to fight against such enemies."

"But, Senior, if you are alone..."

Tang Qianqian seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

Traps, first sight kills, those unknown enemies will even use them as bait to lure the seniors into the trap.

If they all choose to escape, wouldn't all the danger be transferred to the senior alone?

"It's ok."

Duan Mingyuan glanced at the two of them and warned them in an unquestionable tone, "I am the strongest. At least until you grow up, I will keep this position."
