Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 48 Please close your eyes when it gets dark

"A haunted house adventure is a ritual of sacrifice."

"The souls of the sacrificed will be trapped in the Murakumo Hotel forever, becoming part of the hotel and the ghost story. This is also the source of the lady's power."

"The sacrificed will be forgotten forever. When dawn comes, the living will have a chance to leave."

Tang Qianqian carefully read the small words on the back of the note, which explained in detail that the so-called haunted house adventure was actually a sacrificial ceremony. All traces of the sacrificed person would be completely erased, and would not appear in missing person notices in various places.

The young couple was an exception.

They were the final winners of the sacrificial ceremony and had already obtained the right to leave Congyun Hotel at dawn, but they did not stop there.

Somehow they found the stairs leading to the fifth floor, where the lady was.

Perhaps it was to avenge their sacrificed companions, or to end the evil sacrificial ritual, but as two ordinary people, they challenged the invincible enemy.

The end of a mortal's challenge to the devil is usually death.

However, their death was not meaningless. They successfully approached the lady and stabbed her in the back. Although they failed to actually touch the owner of the Congyun Hotel, they gave the waiter a glimmer of hope.

When the lady was preparing the sacrificial soul, she would briefly lose control of the Congyun Hotel, giving the young couple an opportunity to approach her body without anyone noticing, which gave the waiter an idea.

If the people who were able to get close to the Madam's true form were not two ordinary people, but a stronger existence, perhaps they could have really dealt a heavy blow to the Madam.

In order to appreciate the extraordinary courage of the young couple, after reaping their souls, the lady did not completely erase their existence, but made them a new ghost story, remembered by more people.

"So, the waitress is actually a good person?"

Yang Ping blurted out.

There was no doubt that the note was left by the waitress. Due to some curse, she could not leave the Congyun Hotel, which was the farthest place she could reach.

Bury the note under the sign, hoping that one day someone will put an end to the crazy sacrifice rituals in the hotel.

"Maybe."

Tang Qianqian glanced at Yang Ping and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

This note completed the part that was omitted by the ghost story - the condition for opening the stairs to the fifth floor is that the sacrifice ceremony is over, and the soul of the sacrificed person is taken over by the lady. When she begins to modulate the soul, she will briefly lose her almost absolute control over the Congyun Hotel.

The waitress hopes that they will be the ones to complete the backstab, break the curse for her, and end the nightmare that has lasted for generations at the Congyun Hotel.

The above is the information Tang Qianqian obtained from the note.

Therefore, before dawn arrives and the sacrificial ceremony ends, they all have to lie in ambush outside the lady's surveillance range, waiting for the guests in the hotel to spend a thrilling night, and eventually only a few people will be qualified to leave Congyun Hotel.

What should you do if you encounter a situation that you cannot control?
Of course, report to your seniors!
Tang Qianqian took a photo of the note and kept it as important information.

All actions centered on predecessors are based on the principle of always trusting that predecessors can make the most reasonable and wisest judgments.

After waiting at the hotel entrance for a while, the person who came was not the senior, but September.

"Mr. Ming Yuan has fallen asleep. He has been working overtime these days to formulate the Regulations on Industry Regularization. Let him have a good sleep."

After understanding the situation, Jiu Yue immediately made a judgment, "Let Mr. Ming Yuan handle the Madam's affairs. Your mission is to protect the guests' safety as much as possible... By the way, do you have the small sachets I made for you?"

"Bring it with me."

"That's good, especially after ten o'clock, you should carry it with you at all times."

September warned the two.

She learned how to make the small sachet from the "Ruihu Cultivation Notes". This was a spell left by her ancestors, and the materials needed were extremely rare and precious, the most precious of which was the fluff on her tail.

For the safety of these newbies, Jiu Yue feels that she has really paid a lot.

The fox demon's tail is a priceless treasure. She spends a lot of time every day taking care of her tail, only in this way can it be kept soft and fluffy at all times.

"Leave it to us. We have already studied the rules of ghost stories thoroughly..." "Don't raise any flags."

Jiu Yue glared at Tang Qianqian and sternly interrupted her, "Less flags and more work."

She really didn't understand why humans liked to set flags more and more. Were they afraid that they wouldn't die fast enough?
..........................................

Duan Mingyuan slept until late at night.

He was awakened by a scream, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps, and it sounded like a lot of people were rushing past the door.

The time on the phone screen reached 10:07, which was a little later than he expected.

"Mr. Mingyuan, are you awake?"

September smiled at him, "The haunted house exploration has begun."

The supernatural enthusiasts outside had no idea what they were facing and thought they were just seeing a carefully designed mechanism of the hotel.

It feels like you are really exploring a haunted house, with screams mixed with excitement.

Perhaps until the moment they were sacrificed, they would still naively believe that this was also the hotel's arrangement to give them a more immersive experience.

But this is not bad. At least at the end of their lives, they are not facing despair, but anticipation for the subsequent "game".

It's like the classic opening line in the game.

Please close your eyes when it is dark.

No one thinks they will actually be killed in the game.

"Ah."

Duan Mingyuan nodded and calmly moved away the big tail that was covering himself as a blanket. He also heard Jiu Yue scream "Ah" and his whole body trembled.

Normally, he wouldn't have slept till now under such circumstances, but...

What else could he say?
The fox's tail leads to trouble.

Only when you have personally experienced the feeling of sleeping with a tail pillow or hugging your tail, will you understand that it is more deadly than a quilt on a cold day.

"Mr. Mingyuan, Tang Qianqian and the others have made an important discovery. Actually—"

"Let's go to the fifth floor."

Duan Mingyuan straightened the wrinkles on his shirt, making himself look his best, and at the same time, he hid his love for the big tail very well.

By putting on a stern face and showing a serious expression, you can hide your thoughts deep in your heart.

"Eh?"

Hearing this, Jiu Yue suddenly became a little uneasy, "Didn't you sleep for a whole day?"

Why can a person who has slept in a room all day get clues that others have worked hard for a whole day to piece together the moment he wakes up?

Mr. Mingyuan is definitely cheating.

Suggest a strict investigation!

She had to emphasize it again.

"The fluctuations of life energy are coming from above."

Duan Mingyuan glanced at the ceiling and said calmly, "Even a three-year-old child would be able to detect this level of energy change."

There will be three updates today, and the third update will be at nine o'clock in the evening!
