Chapter 220 The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Role in the Thriller World (3)
Zhou Zhiwu stared at the magnificent hotel lobby and swallowed.
He thought to himself, this kind of place is obviously carefully decorated, how could it be home to ghosts?
Since there was no other way to go now, he would go in and take a look. Maybe there was a film crew hiding inside.
Zhou Zhiwu was the first to step through the revolving door and enter the lobby.
Several people looked at the bright and clean lobby, then looked back at the heavy rain outside, and finally walked into the revolving door.
Cheng Su was the last one.
After he entered the lobby, the revolving door behind him suddenly stopped.
Several people were shocked again.
Li Da pushed the glass door, but it didn't move.
Chen Jiajia followed suit, but also failed to move the ball forward even a little bit.
There was a decorative clock hanging on one wall of the hotel lobby. The ticking sound struck their hearts. It was a normal sound, but to their ears it was like a countdown to death.
At seven o'clock sharp.
Judging from the weather outside, they had no way of knowing whether it was seven in the morning or seven in the evening.
Chen Jiajia stared at her feet, feeling anxious and empty inside. "Where on earth is this place?"
The lobby is covered with thick carpet.
There was mud and water on their feet, but they stepped on it without leaving any trace.
She wasn't the only one who noticed this.
The faces of several people changed again and again, and they suddenly regretted coming in.
"There's definitely something weird about this place!"
"Hotels should all have back doors. Let's look for them."
"Is there a phone at the front desk? Can we use it to call the police?"
"Come and see this!"
Tao Xinling, who was looking for clues, walked to the front desk and saw that the screen of the computer at the front desk was lit with a passage written in white characters on a black background.
When several people heard her words, they all hurried around to the front desk and saw the words written on the screen:
1. Welcome to Sunshine Holiday Hotel. Guests must stay at the hotel for seven days before they can leave safely.
2. If you quit forcefully midway, you will be punished.
3. Please treat the hotel as your own home and take good care of all products in the hotel.
4. As some staff members are on leave, guests are needed to temporarily take over some positions. Please draw your own identity card and receive the rules that everyone needs to follow.
5. Please do not swap your ID cards!
6. Remember, you must follow the rules, otherwise you will bear the consequences!
"What...what's going on?" Wang Shuo opened his eyes wide in surprise. "Why does it feel so similar to some of the ghost story novels I've read before? Could we be encountering a ghost story?"
"What's weird about that? What will happen if we don't obey?" Zhou Zhiwu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he was on the verge of exploding. "We are now living in a society ruled by law. I don't believe that we can really be trapped here!"
"Where are the people? Are they playing a prank? Get out now!"
"I'll count to three. If you don't come out, I'll break down the door."
As he spoke, Zhou Zhiwu looked for a suitable tool.
He found a fire extinguisher under the counter, picked it up, and was about to break down the door.
Jiang Wan and Wang Shuo tried to stop his impulse.
"Get away! Maybe you are all in the same group. I don't want to play this boring game with you anymore." The man waved a fire extinguisher to prevent anyone from getting close.
With a dark face, he walked towards the glass door aggressively, raised the fire extinguisher high and smashed it at the glass door.
The door didn't move.
The fire extinguisher fell to the carpet with a dull thud.
Zhou Zhiwu went to pick up the fire extinguisher and tried to hit it a second time.
However, just as he raised the fire extinguisher, his body suddenly trembled violently, and the fire extinguisher fell and hit his feet. He seemed not to feel the pain in his feet, and fell to the ground with his hands tightly strangling his neck.
The tall figure fell to the ground with a thud, and his body was struggling at a twisted angle.
Several people covered their mouths and retreated in horror.
Under their horrified gaze, the body of the person on the ground swelled up like an inflated ball, and with a bang, it turned into bloody fragments amid sharp screams in their ears.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood.
Dead...dead?
Jiang Wan thought she was mentally strong enough, but her stomach still churned when she saw this scene.
She had the same look of fear on her face as everyone else.
Li Da, who seemed to be the most stable person, also had a dazed expression at this moment, staring at the place where Zhou Zhiwu exploded with horror.
Chen Jiajia's head was buzzing, and all the scenes in front of her seemed to be dyed red by the glaring color. Her legs became weak and she could not stand, and she fell to the ground.
They had never seen such a scene before.
A living person exploded like a balloon in front of them.
Tears welled up in Meng Xiulan's eyes. She covered her mouth tightly with her hands, not daring to cry or even breathe heavily.
The blood drained from Wang Shuo and the others’ faces, and their hands and feet couldn’t stop shaking.
The next second, something even more magical happened.
All the red traces on the ground disappeared.
It was as if everything that had just happened was just their illusion.
It was as if Zhou Zhiwu had never existed.
"How...how could this happen..."
Wang Shuo no longer looked innocent and harmless, but had a crazy look on his face. "It must be something weird, it must be weird! We can't break the rules, otherwise we will become like Zhou Zhiwu. We can only survive by following the rules and finding loopholes."
After a few minutes, they gradually calmed down.
Force yourself to accept Zhou Zhiwu’s death and the fact that you have encountered strange things.
They surrounded Wang Shuo, trying to read some useful information from him.
Jiang Wan walked around the counter again, staring at the words on the screen, interrupting their conversation, "Stop talking for now, come and take a look."
The page for extracting identity was selected on the screen.
Just click the mouse to start drawing your own identity.
Two minutes left.
They can probably guess what the consequences will be if the identity is not selected according to the regulations.
"We must choose quickly, choose quickly!" Wang Shuo urged.
He pushed Jiang Wan aside and pressed the withdrawal button first.
After a series of dazzling special effects, a few words appeared on the screen: Wang Shuo, resident of 201.
He was relieved when he saw it was a resident.
Then others drew their identities one after another.
Meng Xiulan: Cleaning staff.
Han Dakun: Resident 203.
Tao Xinling: Resident of 301.
Chen Jiajia: Resident of 303.
Jiang Wan: Front desk.
Cheng Su: Lobby manager.
Li Da: Chef.
Several people wrote down their identities and room numbers.
Computer screen is off.
"We all know our identities, but now we have only seen the basic rules for staying in a hotel. We have not yet found the rules that we need to follow personally. We need to find out the rules that we need to follow personally first."
Jiang Wan looked around. She was rummaging around at the counter and saw a corner of paper sticking out from under the phone.
She took it out and looked at it. It clearly stated the "Rules for Front Desk Staff" on the paper.
