Lucky billion players, you've never seen one before / I can accumulate my own luck

The female corpse was quickly cleaned up, and the stench disappeared, but strange things began to happen at the hotel.

[A guest complained that light footsteps could be heard coming from the corridor at night. A bolder guest opened the door to investigate and saw the figure of a woman wearing a red dress and with her hair down.]

[Hotel guests began to disappear one after another, the stench returned, and staff found the bodies of the missing people in the mattresses of other rooms.]

Panic spread rapidly, with everyone convinced that the victim of the murder case had become an evil spirit, haunting the hotel and repeatedly killing guests, stuffing them into mattresses, and replicating their own ordeal.

【hint:】

【1. From 9 PM to 7 AM is the time when evil spirits are active. Guests are requested to lock their room doors and be aware of their safety.】

2. Only one guest is allowed to stay on the same floor at a time. Those who violate this rule will be the first to be attacked by the evil spirit.

[Instance Quest: Stay at the Lucky Hotel for 3 days]

[Note that the instance will be completely sealed off during operation, and will be completely disconnected from the outside world in terms of time and space.]

The game prompts are displayed on the player panel.

"A tired, old-fashioned horror story..." Fan Xiao thought to himself.

There were other people in the small square.

There were a lot of people participating in this instance; including Fan Xiao and Du Ruo, there were a total of 12 people present.

Fan Xiao and Du Ruo pretended not to know each other, even keeping a distance and showing each other a wary look.

The two blended into the crowd very successfully, without standing out at all.

"I received a notification that the instance has been opened."

A beautiful woman with a slightly intellectual air spoke first.

She is probably around 25 years old, with a hot figure, a charming and alluring face, and an outfit that gives off a capable yet elegant vibe.

Fan Xiao gave her a nickname in his mind: Female CEO.

The female CEO, wearing a beret, turned her gaze to Fan Xiao and Du Ruo and said, "It seems you are the last batch of players to enter this instance. There are 12 people participating in this instance."

"Let's go into the hotel first. The mission is to stay for 3 days. I estimate the time will be calculated from when we check into the hotel."

A baby-faced male player suggested.

"Wait! You can't go in now!"

A voice of objection arose, and a slightly chubby female player stood up and said sternly, "Who knows if there are any cannibals among you? You have to prove you're not monsters first, otherwise I won't enter the hotel. Whoever wants to come in can come in."

"Who the hell are you? You idiot! Do I need to prove anything to you?"

The male player with dyed blond hair scoffed.

Standing next to him was a young female gamer wearing leather boots, revealing clothes, with permed and dyed hair, earrings, and black lipstick.

The female player, clinging to the blond player's arm, chimed in, "Ugly people are always causing trouble. Brother Qian, let's not indulge her bad habits!"

"Who are you calling ugly!" The slightly chubby female player retorted coldly, "I think you're all man-eating monsters!"

She immediately addressed Fan Xiao and the other male players, saying, "You all heard it too. These two people refuse to prove their identities, so they are very likely cannibalistic players! If you don't want to be eaten, you'd better catch them now and eliminate the threat in advance."

Fan Xiao smiled and said, "Why don't you take the lead?"

"...Are you even a man?!" The slightly overweight woman frowned. "You actually let a woman lead the way? You men have a physical advantage, don't you have any sense of responsibility?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiao gave the slightly chubby woman a strange look.

Fighting in a dungeon... I've never seen anything like it before.

He was afraid he couldn't withstand that punch, which took twenty years of training, so he ignored it.

At this point, Fan Xiao, based on their characteristics, gave nicknames to the people who would speak next.

Baby face, blond hair, a delinquent girl.

And boxers.

The remaining people were a tattooed man, a bald man, a handsome man, and a balding middle-aged man.

And a werewolf who didn't care at all about showing off his wolf ears.

The handsome man looked at the boxer with some disgust in his eyes, but still spoke up for her, saying, "She's right. Man-eating players are a potential threat. If you don't want to be ambushed in the dungeon, you'd better deal with this beforehand. Let me prove myself first; I'm a demi-human player."

He took off his hat, revealing a pair of dog ears.

"I'm also a demi-human player." The female boxer revealed her cat ears.

"There's no need to rush to prove your identity."

The tattooed man with a menacing look said, "We have no obligation to eliminate cannibal players. Besides, cannibal players are the strongest of the three types of players. Even if we find them, there will definitely be casualties in the battle. Nobody wants to die. Who among you is willing to lead the charge? If anyone is willing, I'll go with you."

Chapter 21: The names of the moves must be shouted out!

Upon hearing this, the boxer subconsciously said, "We women are naturally weaker, so of course you male players should be in charge of the fight."

"Heh," the tattooed man sneered, "Do you believe I'll kill you first?"

"you……"

The boxer took two steps back, his face grim.

Clearly, the players are not only not morally coerced, but they also make no attempt to hide their selfishness.

It's impossible to risk your life for someone else.

Impossible in this life.

"Alright, alright, let's all save our energy from arguing."

The baby-faced guy jumped in as a peacemaker: "You've all seen the game notification. This dungeon has something unscientific like evil spirits. What are evil spirits? They're ghosts! Who can guarantee they can survive against such supernatural and filthy things? It's too stupid to start fighting amongst ourselves before even entering the hotel."

This statement silenced everyone.

Evil spirits... This is the first time anyone has encountered a dungeon like this.

Compared to the threat of cannibalistic players, ghosts are indeed more terrifying.

Premature internal strife is unwise.

"In that case, why don't we cooperate first?"

The bald man next to the tattooed man suggested, "Let's forget about the cannibal players for now. We need to survive for three days in this hotel haunted by evil spirits. If we don't cooperate, we might all be wiped out."

"I have no objection." Fan Xiao nodded. "Cannibalistic players are only potentially capable of attacking others, not certain. If I were a cannibalistic player, I definitely wouldn't attack during the dungeon. Dealing with the biggest threat right now is the priority. Let's all put aside our prejudices for now. Besides..."

He paused, then added, "The color of a player's ID can be faked; even if the ID is revealed, it doesn't necessarily mean it's real."

Upon hearing this, many people secretly glanced at Fan Xiao.

This kind of statement... this guy is very likely one of the cannibalistic players!

Ultimately, no one objected to the bald man's suggestion.

The boxer wanted to say something, but in the end he held back.

The group tacitly refrained from mentioning the cannibalistic player again and entered the lobby of the Lucky Hotel one after another.

The lobby was spacious but empty, and the front desk was also deserted.

The floor tiles were covered in dust; it hadn't been cleaned in a long time.

Fan Xiao's nose twitched.

There was no particular foul smell in the hotel at that moment.

The corpses mentioned in the dungeon's background description should have all been cleared away.

The baby-faced man addressed the crowd, saying, "Only one person can live on each floor. How should we arrange it?"

"Everyone can stay wherever you like. I just looked around outside. This hotel has 13 floors. Excluding the lobby on the first floor, it's just enough for 12 of us."

The balding middle-aged man answered the baby-faced man.

He then turned his gaze to the female CEO: "Which floor would this young lady like to stay on?"

"Seventh floor, I suppose," the female CEO said. "I'm in business, and I believe in the principle of 'seven up, eight down'."

"What a coincidence, I'm also in business."

The balding middle-aged man smiled and tried to build rapport.

The female CEO glanced at his beer belly and nodded: "I can tell."

“We’re all business people, so let’s stay closer together,” the balding middle-aged man said. “I’ll stay on the sixth floor.”

"I'll stay on the eighth floor."

The handsome guy walked over, smiled at the female CEO, and said, "We arrived at about the same time. How about we team up so we can look out for each other?"

The balding middle-aged man glanced at the handsome man and showed a displeased expression.

Doesn't this guy know how to read the room?!

Besides, what's the point of a pretty boy who relies on his looks getting involved? Outside of the game, he's not even worthy of carrying shoes for him.

The bald man then said, "The second floor is mine now, you can do whatever you want with it."

"Why should the second floor belong to you?" the blond-haired guy protested. "The second floor is easy to escape from in case of trouble, I want it!"

"Then I'll stay on the third floor. Brother Qian, you have to protect me."

The young delinquent chimed in.

The bald man stared at the two of them for a moment and said, "Fine, you can have it. I'll stay on the fourth floor."

"We can decide which floor to stay on later. It's only 4 p.m. now, and there's still plenty of time before 9 p.m.."

Du Ruo, who had been silent until now, suddenly suggested, "Since we still have time today, let's search each floor one by one and see if we can find any information related to the evil spirit."

"Let's split up," Fan Xiao said, seizing the opportunity. "There are plenty of hotel rooms; searching separately will be more efficient."

"Are you out of your mind? Split up?" the blond-haired man said rudely. "This hotel is haunted!"

"You want to search with me?" Fan Xiao licked his lips. "Sure, I agree."

"..."

Huang Mao stared at Fan Xiao warily.

He then remembered that, based on his previous remarks, the guy in front of him was likely a cannibalistic player.

Join forces with cannibalistic players? Are you kidding me!

"No need! I just disagreed with splitting up, I didn't say I wanted to go with you. You better not mess with me!"

The blond-haired guy pulled the young girl back a step.

He then showed off his baseball bat.

That appears to be a prop.

“The evil spirits start to move every night at 9 p.m. We have 5 hours to gather intelligence in advance. If we hesitate and miss the opportunity, it may reduce our survival rate.”

The female CEO then said, "The game hints are definitely correct. There's no danger now. I agree to split up and search more efficiently, making sure we don't miss any rooms."

The others hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

Seeing this, the blond-haired man had nothing more to say.

With evil spirits hanging overhead, everyone is eager to find relevant information to reduce the difficulty of survival.

For example, the weaknesses and activity patterns of evil spirits.

The timid boxer, shameless as ever, insisted on teaming up with the female CEO to search together.

She wanted to invite a few male players to join her, but only the handsome guys paid attention to her.

Fan Xiao and Du Ruo walked up to the upper floors one after the other in tacit agreement.

Surprisingly, the elevator was working.

When we got to the 12th floor, we got out of the elevator.

Du Ruo lowered her voice and asked Fan Xiao, "Do you think the evil spirit is real or fake?"

Fan Xiao understood the hidden meaning in Du Ruo's words.

The truth behind the monster is that it's a human—this trope is frequently seen in horror movies.
