Now, they must race against time and squeeze Argyle dry before she can no longer hold on. Every second counts.
But soon, Ai Wei's vision began to blur, and she fell to the ground with a thud. In the last second before she fell, she saw Xia who was also trying hard to decipher the code.
This time, she will no longer be sarcastic or sly, but will speak out her most sincere appeal:
"This time, it all depends on you, Xia..."
On the other side of the stone bridge, Domi's situation was not much better.
At first, his endless means of displacement did allow his fists to actually hit the gravekeeper's rotten flesh, but he seemed to have wisdom and had gradually figured out Domi's routine, and the reverse attack of the sickle handle would hit him from time to time.
Buckets of air were hitting his lower abdomen, and he felt as if all the gas inside was knocked out, and he almost vomited blood.
Domi flew backwards and was about to fall into the abyss. He quickly used the Thunder God in the air and returned to the stone bridge.
However, perhaps because the bronze door was about to be opened, the gravekeeper paid no attention to him and walked straight towards the earth wall built by Argyle.
Domi stopped him again, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and panted violently:
"I said, the living dead are not allowed to pass ahead!"
The sound of the bronze door opening and Domi's obstruction continued to stimulate the gravekeeper's already limited nerves. He roared to the sky and rushed forward with big strides!
Domi concentrated his energy on his dantian, opened his lower body, and opened the slightly broken arms of Susanoo in a posture ready to meet the impact.
The body of the gravekeeper was reflected in Domi's pupils, which kept getting bigger and bigger: "Come on..."
"Roar!!"
Boom!
In a flash, Edward, who was standing behind setting off the fireball, only saw a figure shoot through the earth wall like a bullet, and then quickly smashed backwards.
Bang! It hit the bronze door with a loud noise in the silent abyss.
If it weren't for the high damage reduction provided by the maximum level Shadow Flow Movement, he felt that half of his bones would be broken. However, this was his last thought. He tilted his head, let go of his hands, and passed out.
The earth wall collapsed as a result, and dozens of four-legged beasts with snake-like tongues and strange smiles approached them like locusts, determined to eat all their bones.
Behind them, there was a tall gravekeeper holding a huge bronze sickle, striding towards them. He didn't even look at the four-legged animals on the ground, and stomped them so hard that shit flew out.
"Back away!!"
Argyle and Edward attacked the four-legged beasts from a distance while retreating towards the bronze gate.
Domi and Ai Wei are unconscious, Rosa is exhausted, and Xia is still solving the puzzle. Now only the two of them can stop the army guarding the tomb.
Argyle used up the last of his magic power: "Earth Spike!"
Sharp spikes made of earth started from under his feet and extended all the way to the four-legged beast and the gravekeeper.
Some four-legged beasts that ran too fast were pierced on the spot, and the gravekeeper's steps were blocked, but he just used the sickle to cut, and the thorns shattered like crisp horns, allowing the four-legged beasts behind to continue rushing over.
Edward wanted to set off another fireball, but no matter how hard he tried, only sparks came out: "No more, nothing at all..."
Just when she was about to die, Xia finally completed the last "number 47" block at the th second!
Crunch~crunch~
Boom boom boom...
As countless machines and gears turned, the ancient and heavy bronze door finally opened, revealing what it was guarding behind it.
"Hurry! Take them in!" Xia picked up the unconscious Ai Wei, and the others took Domi and Rosa and ran into the giant gate.
When the tomb-guarding army wanted to come in, they were blocked outside by a dark green transparent barrier.
Everyone looked outside in doubt and uncertainty, and only after they were sure that they couldn't come in did they breathe a sigh of relief and fall down exhausted.
They are safe, for now...
Once a week, sprinkle some water on it~
Chapter 107: Strange Hotel
Chapter 107-106- Strange Hotel
Swah——
The moment everyone entered the bronze door, countless torches emitting green light suddenly lit up, revealing the scene inside in full view.
Above your head is a huge natural stone dome, and below is almost a secular town!
Residential buildings, colleges, wells, clock towers… and even restaurants!
The buildings are connected by two-lane roads paved with bluestone bricks. All of them are in ancient architectural style and look particularly creepy under the illumination of these green fires.
The streets were empty, no wind, no pedestrians, no movement, as quiet as a ghost town.
They hardly dared to speak, for fear of disturbing some kind of existence.
Xia decided to use gestures to communicate with each other. She took a fancy to a two-story building with a bed painted on the sign. It seemed to be a hotel.
So she gestured for everyone to go in together.
The others were not stupid either. After they understood what was going on, they all took action. The three who were still able to move took the three who had lost their ability to move and walked into the hotel together.
I thought this hotel would be as empty as outside, but I didn't expect to see a 'person' standing behind the counter as soon as I entered.
The room was dark. Some old candles were placed on the small counter facing the door. In the dim candlelight, the outline of a person was vaguely visible.
That person could not be considered a human being. Although he was wearing the linen clothes of ordinary people, he was skinny and emaciated, with yellow and wrinkled skin, like a moving skeleton.
The flesh on his face could be shaved off to less than two ounces. When he smiled, it was a fake smile, and his voice sounded like a crow with an inflamed throat:
"Welcome~ Welcome to my humble abode~"
"Hey guys, are you staying at the hotel or not?"
Edward whispered in Argyle's ear: "Is this boss not very smart?"
"I don't know how many years it has been buried. Even a good brain must have turned into a mess..."
"Six, but we have no money."
Since there were people there, Xia didn't worry about why there were people there, and simply followed the conventional thinking.
She stood on the wooden floor, but it creaked under the weight, as if it would break in the next second.
"Puff, puff, puff~ Staying in the hotel is free~" the front desk owner said in a strange voice.
"What do you want? Can I stay here for free?"
Hearing that it was free, Edward became interested and asked quickly.
"It doesn't cost money, but it costs my life~"
!!!
Everyone was shocked.
However, the boss did not kill them directly like the gravekeeper did. He spoke to them calmly, which showed that he did not want their lives immediately.
After understanding this, Xia quickly forced herself to calm down. She was now the core of the team and must not lose her composure. She asked tentatively:
"Life-threatening? Can you tell me more specifically, how does it happen?"
At the same time Xia asked him, Argyle was quietly moving towards the door, and tried the handle, but found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open the door.
Xia glanced back and immediately realized that this was all planned by the boss.
"Puff, puff, puff~ Everyone, let's play a game together. I call it...Silent Night."
"The rules are very simple. Each of you will be given a guest room. You will pass the level if you lie on the bed in the guest room for an hour. After that, you can use my hotel as you like."
"See, I'm much kinder than other people."
"What happens if I fail to pass the level?"
When Xia asked this question, the boss showed an extremely weird smile:
"You will encounter some very bad things. Believe me, they will make you unforgettable for the rest of your life."
"Now, please allow me to take you to your respective rooms~"
The unlit corridor was pitch black. Only the boss, who was walking in the front, was holding a candlestick with a lit candle and walking towards the darkness ahead step by step. With every step, the floor under his feet made a creaking sound.
The air was filled with dust and a rotten smell, like wood or rotting flesh...
Xia signaled Edward with her eyes not to take action. Domi had not yet woken up, and facing an unknown existence, they could not act rashly, so they followed the boss.
"Since you are here, you must abide by the rules here. When you lie on the bed, just do as the boss says. No matter what happens, don't act rashly! You must stay on the bed and remain in a 'lying' position. Just count to one hour in your mind. Do you understand?"
Needless to say, those who are already unconscious can probably lie there for another four or five hours. Those who are awake will have the worst ending. God knows what will happen next. It is worse to be unconscious than to be awake!
Argyle Edward Rosa nodded repeatedly.
"We're here. Let's go in."
Then, the boss dispersed them into six guest rooms and returned to the front desk with a sinister smile.
Without the only candlelight, both the corridor and the guest rooms were plunged into endless darkness. The entire hotel seemed like a huge morgue, and no one knew that there were six living people lying inside.
Before the fire disappeared, Xia had already seen the structure of the guest room clearly. It was small and simple.
Enter the door, turn left and there is a separate toilet room, walk forward and there is a bed, with a bedside table on each side. Next to the bed is a window with a well-blackout curtain that blocks the green firelight outside, and right opposite the bed, there is a full-length mirror!
Quite contrary to the hotel's current state of disrepair, this mirror looks like new!
Preserving the last scene she saw when she lay down.
"Putting a mirror in front of the bed, what a bad taste..."
Xia didn't care about that. Who knew when the one hour the boss mentioned started? She didn't have time to operate the mirror.
Close your eyes and count to 3600 seconds in your mind...
"One... two... three... fifty-nine... sixty..."
Until a minute passed, everything was still quiet and nothing happened.
Just when she thought that this 'game' was simply a test of one's psychological endurance in a confined space, footsteps different from those of the boss suddenly sounded in the corridor.
Da...Crack~~ Da...Crack~~
The sound of the floor being pressed was particularly loud, getting closer and closer... closer and closer! The owner of the footsteps was gradually approaching his room.
Click... click...
It's twisting the doorknob!
But after twisting for a while without any results, he seemed to have given up and left.
Just when Xia thought he would not come again, the footsteps that had just gone away suddenly turned back, and this time they were banging on the door like crazy!
Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang!!
By the way, he kept twisting the door handle!
The sudden noise frightened Xia so much that she pulled the quilt up around her body and only dared to stare at the door through the gap in the quilt.
"Crash!!"
I don’t know who opened the curtains at this time!
The streets were green, as if the green light produced by burning human corpse oil shone into the house...
She was clearly the only one in the room!
At the same time, the reflection in the full-length mirror in front of the window changed.
Logically speaking, as long as I don't move, the reflection in the mirror shouldn't move either, but it did change.
Xia looked into the mirror with the intention of gathering information, but she saw an incredible scene that frightened her so much that her pupils trembled.
I saw myself in the mirror with a weird smile on my face, my face reflected in light green, I was slowly getting up, lifting the quilt... and then crawling towards the mirror!
From Xia's perspective, the person in the mirror was walking with steps as if his bones were dislocated, his head twisted 360 degrees, and his limbs were on the bed, as if he was going to crawl out of the mirror!
No matter how much people praise her for being smart and clever, after all, Xia is just a girl of ten and a half years old, so it is natural for her to be afraid and frightened.
She didn't dare to look at him any more and buried her head in the quilt, holding her head with both hands, shaking with fear.
"What...what are these...I really want to go back..."
But even if she stuffed herself into the bed, the game still didn't let her go.
