The expressions of the crowd changed upon hearing the words.
“I won’t hide it from you. As you have seen, the rooms we stayed in were the two closest to the golden room. As soon as we open the door, we can see that shining golden entrance.”
“We also heard the warning from the tour guide not to approach the golden room. But whenever we looked outside through the peephole, the first thing we saw was always that golden room. It seemed to possess some kind of magic. We knew in our hearts that we shouldn’t enter the golden room, but the more we knew we couldn’t, the more we wanted to get closer and open it.”
“In such a dilemma, we hardly slept all night. I wanted to go, and so did she.”
Mr. Oude paused. “The two of us encouraged each other and kept each other in check, not thinking about the golden room. Since we didn’t sleep well last night, we didn’t have the energy to explore the resort today. We rested in our room all day.”
“Although my wife kept complaining that she couldn’t resist, thankfully, things gradually improved. In the afternoon, she seemed to have overcome the temptation and didn’t mention wanting to see it anymore.”
“So we peacefully went through the day until dinner time.”
“I suddenly fainted and lost consciousness. I don’t know what happened afterwards. Then you saw what you saw.”
Mrs. Aisli wiped the corner of her eye. “So you dressed up so formally because…”
“Well, my wife wanted to have a candlelight dinner with me, so I put on my best suit,” Mr. Oude replied.
“Oh, I see,” Easley glanced discreetly at Bai Lixin, “I knew it. A gentleman must have his own reasons for doing things, and he will definitely not do something that violates morality.”
Hongyue furrowed her brows. “What about the food you ate? And the gold powder on your hands? What are they?”
Mr. Oude looked puzzled. He examined the gold powder on his fingers, frowned and looked perplexed. “What is this? Did I accidentally touch something? I have no recollection.”
“As for the food I ate, it was an apple that was peeled and cut into small pieces for me. It was leftover fruit from lunch.”
“But this gold powder…” Mr. Oude furrowed his brows, lowered his eyelids, and covered the look of confusion. “I really have no idea.”
Emil was about to speak but was interrupted by Mrs. Aisli’s stern voice. “All of you, haven’t you interrogated him enough?”
“Mr. Oude is an old gentleman, not a criminal. Besides, he has just awakened from a near-death experience. As soon as he woke up, you interrogated him like a criminal. His wife is missing, and he is already going through a difficult time. If you won’t help, then leave and stop adding fuel to the fire. You are being too much.”
“You don’t care about the patient’s feelings. Please leave!”
Emil glanced at Mrs. Aisli and casually threw the object he held onto the bed. “I only wanted to return this medicine to Mr. Oude, Mrs. Aisli.”
Basil walked over to Jia’er, who had been acting as a background figure all along. “Miss, Young Master, it’s getting late. Now that Mr. Oude has awakened, we should leave and let the patient rest.”
Richard saw the others preparing to leave and didn’t linger anymore. He quickly followed behind.
As they were about to reach the foyer, Bai Lixin suddenly turned back, meeting Mr. Oude’s eyes as he looked in their direction.
Mr. Oude was taken aback and he hastily averted his gaze.
Seeing Mr. Oude’s slightly flustered expression, Bai Lixin smiled mysteriously. “Mr. Oude, it seems you truly are a gentleman.”
Mr. Oude raised his head in confusion.
Bai Lixin continued, “My master has always told me that composure and restraint are great virtues of a gentleman. Wisdom and intelligence are a gentleman’s shining qualities. Whether your wife has really disappeared is still uncertain, but deducing that she entered the golden room based on a missing key truly shows exceptional wisdom. Moreover, facing the disappearance of your beloved wife, you can remain calm and composed. It’s evident that you embody composure and restraint.”
“I truly hope that our Young Master can become a gentleman like you soon.”
Upon hearing this, Mr. Oude’s body stiffened, and the next moment, his face turned deathly pale.
Without any further delay, the group slowly left the room.
When they entered the corridor, they glanced back at the golden room behind them. In the reflection of the crimson carpet and the lights, the unique golden door shimmered. It was just a lifeless door, yet they felt it beckoning them.
Richard swallowed his saliva. “Did Mrs. Oude really enter that room?”
Bai Lixin shook his head. “I don’t know, but it’s highly possible. I’ll go down and have someone open Room 305. Perhaps the tour guide knows if anyone entered that room.”
Hongyue frowned. “The tour guide left after we finished dinner.”
Emil: “Let’s ask tomorrow; first, let’s pry open Room 305. I’m staying in Room 304, and I don’t want a sleeping corpse next door without knowing. If Room 305 isn’t opened tonight, I won’t sleep!”
“Bai Lixin, you…” Emil was about to give an order when he suddenly felt a cold gaze. He did a 180-degree turn in his words, “It’s inconvenient for you to push Miss Jia’er, I’ll go downstairs and find someone!”
Damn it, I’m using the Young Master experience card. Have you ever seen a Young Master who does everything himself?!
Emil quickly ran off, Richard returned to the room, and only Bai Lixin, Hongyue, and Jia’er remained at the staircase.
Hongyue: “I feel like that old man didn’t tell the truth.”
Bai Lixin: “I don’t know about other things, but he definitely lied about one thing. His shoes were placed at the entrance, covered in fine dust, and there was still damp soil underneath. He hasn’t stayed indoors as he claimed.”
Hongyue: “So, wearing a tuxedo for the candlelight dinner could also be a lie.”
“And another thing,” Bai Lixin continued, “the substance the doctor extracted from his mouth was red and white, but he said he ate peeled and cut apple pieces. Apple flesh is white, and there’s nothing red.”
Hongyue: “Are you saying he actually ate an apple with the peel?”
Bai Lixin: “Seems likely, but it’s also possible that the red substance is something else entirely. Maybe even the white substance isn’t apple.”
Hongyue turned her head and glanced at the golden room, her expression solemn.
————————
In the live broadcast room.
[So, that old man was lying.]
[He definitely has secrets. He acted separately from everyone and sneaked out. He isn’t even worried that his wife went missing.]
[So, the question is, who did he go to meet?]
[Well, why don’t you ask the wall? It should have the answer for you.]
[So, where did Mrs. Oude go?]
[No rush, take it slow. Time will give us the answers.]
[Haha, it’s clearly Bai Lixin whi will give us the answers. You must be a fake fan.]
[I’m not! Don’t talk nonsense. I’m not a fake fan; I’m a Jia’er fan, a fan of Miss Jia’er.]
[Tsk tsk, another warrior defeated by beauty.]
—————————–
While the two were talking, Emil arrived with a man in a sparkling suit.
He swiftly ascended the stairs, hands on his hips, a grin on his face, panting, “I’ve brought someone here. If this can’t be opened, I’ll just kick the door in. Anyway, I can’t stand not knowing what’s going on in the room next to mine while I’m trying to sleep. It’s such a bizarre room.”
His tone was arrogant and flamboyant, truly fitting the stereotype of a foolish aristocrat.
If it weren’t for the skillful card-playing technique and the transparent silk thread, Bai Lixin might have fallen for Emil’s deceit.
Thinking about it, during their first encounter on the 50th floor, Emil seemed to be arrogantly provoking him, both in his gaze and expression, just like the Emil standing before him now.
Was that his true nature?
Or… was it all just a façade?
If the previous image of being foolish and ignorant was merely a disguise, then there was something about Emil.
Bai Lixin wasn’t familiar with Emil. Their only two encounters were in the game lobby on the 50th floor, where Emil was punished by the system for provoking him into playing roulette and intentionally cheating.
The other encounter was at the Red Apple House. Although they didn’t work together for long, Emil’s performance from start to finish was satisfactory, if not excellent, and it didn’t cause any hindrance.
He completed the entire game in a moderate manner.
At that time, he had no doubts. The Emil on the 50th floor had preconceived notions about his character that caused him to act like that, and then Emil in the copy didn’t even leave an impression.
It wasn’t until this copy that he realized something seemed off.
Emil… It was highly likely that he was playing a deceptive role.
Bai Lixin observed Emil thoughtfully, and as if sensing Bai Lixin’s gaze, Emil snorted and strode towards Room 305.
The attendant, who was pulled along, carried a large bunch of keys. After knocking on the door and waiting for a while to confirm there was no response, the attendant quickly and skillfully found the key to Room 305 from the bunch.
With a soft “click,” the door suddenly swung open.
Before the attendant could retrieve the key, Emil shoved him aside, yanked out the keychain, and rushed inside, shouting, “Mrs. Oude! Are you here?” Emil irritably scanned the room with the keychain in hand.
The attendant immediately said, “Sir, please refrain from doing this. You can search quietly; there’s no need to be so impatient. It’ll not benefit everyone.”
“Also, could you return the keychain you’re holding? That’s not something guests should possess.”
Emil turned a deaf ear to the request and continued to jangle the keys in his hand, his slender fingers swiftly moving across the keychain, creating a jarring metallic clatter in the room.
The attendant attempted to grab the key, but Bai Lixin and Hongyue exchanged glances, silently approaching and blocking the attendant’s path.
After more than ten seconds, the attendant reached Emil and snatched the keys back.
Emil coldly snorted, “What are you grabbing? Didn’t the tour guide say that the customer is God? Am I not God anymore?”
The attendant stood there awkwardly, and Emil continued to glare at him like a bully, “Fine, let others see me and think I’m bullying you. I’m a very good-tempered person. Don’t push me. If you don’t believe me, ask my servant Bai Lixin. He is my servant, but I’m kind enough to treat him like a brother. There’s no master as kind as me in the world.”
Bai Lixin: “…”
Isn’t this bandit-like behavior something that someone who emerged from a bandit’s den would have?
———————–
In the live broadcast room.
[Emil is gradually revealing his true nature.]
[He’s a true leader of bandits.]
[He’s just showing his true colors. Isn’t Emil always like this? Not very talented, yet he thinks highly of himself. I’ve seen several copies he was in, always a low-level character, never able to achieve high scores like God Xin. I don’t know where he gets the audacity to talk like that about God Xin. No, people, my stomach is about to explode from anger.]
[Although, isn’t it impressive to consistently get the lowest points? Among the players who’ve reached above the 400th floor, who hasn’t had at least one impressive performance in a copy? Has he ever?]
[Well, it seems he hasn’t.]
[I haven’t seen him do that either. Plus, despite being a blond beauty, his personality is just too terrible. I don’t want to see him at all.]
[Yes, I don’t want to look at him either. I just swipe away every time I see him. If it weren’t for him teaming up with God Xin this time, I wouldn’t even bother.]
[So, it turns out that everyone hates Emil. I thought it was just me.]
[But it’s astonishing, everyone despises him. It’s one thing to be hated, but he still manages to emerge victorious from each copy. That’s a skill in itself.]
[I must admit, despite his obnoxious personality, he does possess strength, along with a little bit of luck. But compared to others on the same floor, he’s certainly not as capable.]
[However, if he consistently gets the lowest results every time, then he must be climbing the floors very slowly. While others may need 100 copies to reach the 400th floor, he might require 150 or even 200 copies. With so much experience clearing copies, can his abilities truly be that subpar?]
[… Don’t overthink it. He’s genuinely both stupid and lucky. You have to believe in the diversity of species. In a vast forest, you’ll find all kinds of birds.]
[Hiss, fair enough.]
————————–
Bai Lixin surveyed the room and found it empty. Every corner remained as it was when they first moved in, and there were no signs of anyone living there.
Furthermore, there was no one in the room. Mrs. Oude was truly not present.
It was as if she had vanished into thin air.
“Someone is missing,” Bai Lixin said, glancing at the attendant. “This concerns a person’s life. Call the police.”
The attendant nodded respectfully. “Certainly, sir. I’ll go downstairs and call the police right away. Rest assured, our resort is completely safe. There are no wild animals around. It’s possible that the guest simply got lost while out exploring. We’ve encountered such situations before. We panicked and called the police, only for the refreshed guest to later return from outside.”
The attendant forced a smile, his lips curling at the corner. He likely intended to crack a joke, but the monotonous delivery made the attempt feel strangely eerie. “At that time, the police scolded us all. They warned that if such a false alarm occurred again, the person making the call would be locked up and spanked. Ha ha ha.”
Everyone: “…”
Ha ha ha?
Do you honestly think you’re funny?
Attendant: “Now that you’ve heard what I said, are you planning to call the police, dear guests?”
His brows lowered, exuding an air of respect, yet a sly smile played on the corner of his mouth.
Hongyue and Emil both turned to look at Bai Lixin simultaneously.
Bai Lixin cleared his throat lightly. “Of course, we will call the police.”
“It is you making the call, not us, and you’ll be the one getting spanked upon arrest.”
Attendant: “?”
You hold yourselves high and mighty, causing someone’s disappearance and making me take the blame?!
Can’t you just be decent human beings?
The expressions of the crowd changed upon hearing the words.
“I won’t hide it from you. As you have seen, the rooms we stayed in were the two closest to the golden room. As soon as we open the door, we can see that shining golden entrance.”
“We also heard the warning from the tour guide not to approach the golden room. But whenever we looked outside through the peephole, the first thing we saw was always that golden room.
