Chapter 0520 – The Hostel
”What’s he doing?”
”I don’t know.”
Fan Da De and Fan Cong didn’t dare to disturb Chen Ge, they felt that Chen Ge had already entered some kind of state.
As a matter of fact, Chen Ge couldn’t care about talking to those two brothers at the moment, he was fully focused on maneuvering Boo to escape in the dark streets.
This game maker was definitely a complete pervert, and there were countless killing opportunities hidden in the darkness.
The arm suddenly sticking out of the window, the homicidal maniac he met around the corner, the female ghost chasing after him, and the laughing wild dog that scurried out of nowhere, if it was just these things alone, Chen Ge wouldn’t have been too nervous, what really worried him was something else.
After about half a minute of running wildly through the dark streets, Chen Ge saw something standing up behind Boo, which seemed to be her own shadow.
”What ran into her shadow? Or can the town at night wake up the shadows of the living?” Chen Ge was now in a state of high tension, he didn’t dare to be distracted, but his mind unconsciously flashed back to that night’s encounter at the water plant in the eastern suburb, where all the ghosts and monsters in the eastern suburb seemed to be related to that shadow.
The shadow of Boo in the middle of the screen stood up, lying on Boo’s shoulder and saying something, Boo’s speed began to slow down.
”Fan Cong, how far is it to that hotel?” Chen Ge didn’t look back and spoke very fast.
”It’s just ahead, the only building at the end of the street with open doors!”
”Daring to open the door late at night, this inn is not ordinary.” Chen Ge had already seen the dilapidated building in the distance, he maneuvered Boo to dodge from side to side, the sound of the mouse and keyboard echoing inside Fan Cong’s house.
At the fifty-seventh second after leaving the neighborhood building, Chen Ge manipulated Boo to run into the middle of the hotel, while the red-clothed female ghost carrying her head stopped outside the hotel, not following Boo in.
”The female ghost doesn’t dare to come in?”
When Chen Ge saw that the female ghost stopped chasing, he immediately had Boo stop as well, and just stood at the front door of the inn and shifted left and right, frantically seducing the female ghost.
”Boss Chen, what are you doing? Provoking her?” Fan Cong just couldn’t watch anymore.
”If I don’t get her into the inn, you’ll deal with the store owner later? Boo is just a child with no hands, how can she fight those psychopathic murderers?”
Boo stood in the doorway running from side to side, the red-clothed female ghost leapt to her feet, the human head carried in her hand had a tangled expression, as if she was in a fierce battle of thoughts.
”Being red-clothed and actually cowering, the quality of the ghosts and monsters in the Eastern Suburbs really isn’t good.” After Chen Ge tossed and turned for half a day, the red dress seemed to be finally annoyed by him and was ready to head inside the inn.
But before she could come in, a fat man with a shotgun in the room next to her suddenly ran out and slammed the hotel door shut.
At the same time, a message popped up at the bottom of the screen – “Knock, knock, knock” on the wooden door of the inn, and the guests outside will be coming in at some point.
Clicking on the dialog box with the mouse, a second sentence popped up, this time with a fat man’s avatar, it should be him talking – every night there will be strange guests visiting the door, they are very dangerous, now my father’s shotgun only has one round left, must be careful.
”Is this the creepy boss you were talking about? It looks quite amiable.” Chen Ge pointed at the screen, after entering the hotel, Boo’s shadow had returned to normal, according to Chen Ge’s own guess, this should be some kind of game mechanic added by the game designer, you can’t stay on the streets after dark towards more than a minute, otherwise you will be killed by your own shadow.
”Don’t be fooled by his appearances, this madman killed all the guests in the entire inn, his inn has in and out.” Fan Cong’s voice trembled lightly, the innkeeper had become his mental shadow.
”Tell me when the innkeeper went crazy? Let me be prepared in advance.”
”I hadn’t obtained a room card, and when I entered the inn, the owner kindly gave me a room.” Fan Cong began to cry about his experience, “I just stayed honestly in the room, thinking that it would be good to stay up until morning, but in the end, not even a few minutes later, the door to the room opened a crack, and I saw the boss standing in the doorway with a kitchen knife. The sickest thing was that he just stood there in the doorway without moving, with a smile on his face, and then if you didn’t bother, the door to the room would open wider and wider, before he finally rushed in and chased after people and cut them!”
”So scary?” Chen Ge clicked on the screen and the innkeeper asked him to inquire if he had a room card, Chen Ge clicked on his backpack again and took out the raincoat man’s room card number four for the boss to look at.
After the boss saw Chen Ge’s piece of the room card, he told Chen Ge that the kitchen would prepare a midnight snack at 12:00 am, and he hoped that all the tenants would be able to go over there.
”Prepare a midnight snack? Could the ingredients be the tenants?” Chen Ge looked back at Fan Cong, “Have you experienced this scene before?”
”I don’t have a room card, our plots are completely different. I’ve only seen the tenants in a few other rooms, but of course when I saw them, they had all turned into corpses.” Fan Cong spread his hands helplessly, he wanted to help Chen Ge, but had the heart to do so.
”You know the information about the other few tenants?” Chen Ge was a bit surprised, this was a windfall, “Tell me everything you know, maybe I can unite the other tenants and find a way out.”
”Room number one is occupied by the innkeeper’s father, there’s also a photo of himself and the innkeeper in his room, this person seems to have a spare key to the inn; room number two is occupied by a woman, wearing very revealing clothes, she should be engaged in that kind of special work; room number three is a student, he’s carrying a school bag with a cell phone in it; room four is empty; room five is occupied by a person wearing a police uniform, I don’t know if it’s a scammer or a real cop.”
”And a cop?” Chen Ge nodded, Fan Cong had given him crucial information.
”With other tenants around, I’m more certain of surviving the night.” He maneuvered Boo back to his room, but just as he entered the door a gunshot sounded in the background, followed by a dialog paragraph popping up on the screen – You heard the sound of a shotgun going off, a murder is suspected to have occurred in the hotel, please make a choice immediately.
One: Go find the owner and ask what just happened.
Two: Find the police and seek their help.
Three: Ignore them and sleep.
The mouse moved through the three options, and without much hesitation Chen Ge was ready to go for the third option.
”What are you still sleeping at this time!” Fan Cong hurriedly stopped Chen Ge, “Don’t be impulsive, these three options I always feel there’s something odd, it might affect the plot later.”
”Don’t think about it, that gunshot just now was from a shotgun, the one who shot should be the innkeeper, the first option is the send to death option.”
”Then we can also look for the police!”
”Find what police?” Chen Ge directly chose option number three, “The innkeeper only has one bullet, in this situation, he will definitely go after the police, and right now he’s probably in the police room.”
”The boss is in the police room?”
”You can think about it while standing in the perspective of a homicidal maniac, the policeman might have a gun in his hand, obtaining the policeman’s gun will allow him to continue to kill other people in the inn with impunity, so apart from option number three, the remaining two options are all certain death options.” Chen Ge maneuvered Boo to open the door to room four and ran towards room one, which was far away from the police.
