Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 376 Ordinary Survivors

When the boy saw the schoolbag behind Xia Shou, he was stunned at first, and then his eyes lit up immediately.

"That backpack! It's that kid's backpack! You... you really killed him?!"

"Which floor did you come down from?" Xia Shou asked.

"Nineteenth floor, can you rescue me out? Have the police come in?" the boy asked anxiously.

Xia Shou saw that this man was almost losing the ability to think and reason normally. Even after encountering such a thing, he actually asked if the police had arrived. Would it be useful if the police came in at this time?
However, as an ordinary person, it is already remarkable that he can maintain the desire to survive when encountering an abnormal event for the first time.

This person looks like a junior high school student and has a broken arm. It is rare that he can have a normal conversation with his friend without losing control of his emotions after encountering such an extraordinary thing.

"Not everyone can come in. We can only save ourselves. See? I'm not much better."

Xia Shou raised his right hand, which only had three fingers left, and shook it at the other person.

"That's it... We will all die here. We can't escape."

"What's your name?"

"Me? What's my name? ... My name is Li Ming."

"Doesn't your broken arm hurt?" Xia Shou asked.

"It's not that bad. It was quite painful before, but now I'm used to it."

"You are very calm." Xia Shou praised.

Li Ming was stunned.

Calm? Yeah, he seems pretty calm now.

He didn't know whether he had calmed down or gone crazy.

Is the person who pushes his companions towards the monster to buy time to escape calm or crazy?

Li Ming thought about it and was sure that if they didn't do this at that time, neither of them would survive. One of them had to delay time so that the other could survive. Either he or she would survive.

He just made a decision he had no choice but to make... Perhaps, even this decision was not made by him. Even now, when he thought back, he didn't know why he reached out and pushed her.

Seeing that the other party was silent, Xia Shou decided to change the way of asking questions.

He had just dealt with the Scissor Boy, but there were obviously more abnormalities in this hotel than just the Scissor Boy.

The young man in front of him had a broken arm. He must have encountered some other abnormal being or was killed by a butcher.

And... in this maze-like hotel, he was able to escape from the 19th floor to the first floor.

Judging by the standards of an ordinary person, he can no longer be described as quite amazing. Perhaps this person has the qualifications to join the Control Bureau!
His information is very valuable for reference.

Xia Shou changed the question: "How did your arm break?"

"My arm was chopped off by a woman in a wedding dress." Li Ming looked down at the ground and spoke in a flat tone, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

A woman in a wedding dress... Xia Shou silently memorized this feature.

"Did you notice any superpowers she had?"

Li Ming didn't answer for a long while, but Xia Shou could see that he had something to say and was just organizing his words.

After a while, Li Ming asked, "Have you read the check-in rules at the hotel front desk?"

"Seen."

“Well, people like us are survivors, and there are butchers in the hotel who specialize in killing us, as well as those monsters… but monsters and butchers are not allowed to enter the guest rooms.

But that person, that person can enter the room.

She ran very fast and was able to enter the room. She killed all my friends." Li Ming said in a trembling voice.

Hearing this, Xia Shou frowned. A monster that can enter the room?

This is so special.

In this hotel escape game, the survivors are already at an absolute disadvantage. Isn't the appearance of this abnormal body a dimensionality reduction attack on the survivors?
"I think that person may not be a monster or a butcher. She may be a survivor like us." Li Ming looked up at Xia Shou.

Xia Shou was startled when he heard this, and asked rigorously, "Do you have any basis for this?"

“While I was hiding in the cupboard, I saw her searching the body for the savings card.

I met other people in this hotel. Someone had met a butcher. He said that although the butcher would search the dead for savings cards, he would fold them all after taking them and would not collect them like she did.

So, that person might be a survivor, and she collects savings cards by killing other survivors!"

Xia Shou nodded. This judgment was very convincing. Although he could not draw a 100% conclusion, the possibility that the man was a survivor did increase.

As a result, Su Yue's situation became even more dangerous.

She had to face the butcher, the abnormal bodies wandering around the hotel, and the woman in the wedding dress.

From Li Ming's description, it can be heard that although the woman in the wedding dress may be a survivor, her strength is by no means matchable by other survivors. This can be confirmed from the fact that Li Ming cannot distinguish her from the butcher.

That woman is no more dangerous than a butcher.

Wait, the time scale doesn't seem right.

"How did you get into this hotel and when did you come in?" Xia Shou asked.

Li Ming recalled: "That day, my classmates and I took a taxi to go out for dinner. As we drove, there was a heavy fog on the road. When we came to our senses, we were at the door of this hotel. I remember it was April 2nd.

During these ten days we have been hiding in the guest room, waiting for rescue from outside. Each of us takes turns swiping the room card and going to other rooms to find the savings card.

But now, everyone is dead and my card time has run out."

"Lord Xia Shou, we also came in on April 2nd." Alice reminded Xia Shou softly in his ear.

Xia Shou took a breath of cold air.

"So even if people come in on the same day, the time they enter the set may be different! Then the severely decomposed corpse I saw in the first room may not be a scene setting at all, but a dead survivor." Xia Shou whispered to himself.

That would be a headache. Although he and Bai He Su Yue entered the set on the same day, it is possible that the time when each person's plot starts is different in the story.

As the person being rescued, Su Yue must have entered the set earlier than him, but it is unknown how much earlier.

"Have you heard anything else? About the butcher, or the monster, anything is fine, tell me everything." Xia Shou said.

Li Ming pondered for a moment and replied: "I have never met a butcher, I have only met a monster and the woman in a wedding dress.

But I have heard others talk about the butcher.

There are three butchers I have heard of. One is called Painter, who is on the 25th floor.

There is a man called the Blood Mask. It is said that when you are asleep, you may dream about him. If you are injured in the dream, the same wound will appear on your body in reality.

There is also one called Savage, who lives on the 30th floor. Its roar sounds like a wild beast. Some people have seen it from afar. It is very tall.

The person who had seen the wild men told me that the wild men were the scariest and that no one had ever survived seeing one. He was able to see one from a distance and escape because there was a white-haired man wearing a mask who helped him lead the wild men away.

Xia Shou's eyes lit up.

It’s Brother Bai!
Li Ming said to himself: "But I only heard that one person mention the wild man. No one else said they had been to the 30th floor, so I'm not sure whether it's true or not."

At this point, Li Ming paused, looked at Xia Shou with evasive eyes, and asked cautiously, in an almost pleading tone, with a slight cry: "Can you take me with you after this?"

"Well, I just need a guide. To be honest, I was planning to ask you for this." Xia Shou replied in a deep voice.
