Bai Lixin and Jia’er were among the last to arrive at the dining hall’s entrance.
The others didn’t arrive too early either, and they were all anxiously and restlessly pacing in place.
Many things, when spoken of during the day, don’t evoke much, but once the night falls, people’s psychological defenses will be eroded to a large extent under the thick and engulfing darkness.
That’s how these people were now.
Mrs. Nick and Mr. Oude’s room doors weren’t closed. When passing by their room, the sight of their disremembered bodies gave them a great shock.
In the darkness, it felt like countless unseen eyes were silently peering at them.
Fear surpassed the initial anger, and occupied the psychological high ground.
The eldest daughter’s eyes were swollen, seemingly just having cried.
Mr. Nick had a dazed expression, his gaze wandering aimlessly, as if his eyes were not attached to his own face but freely floating around.
But this floating gaze was different from the lecherous gaze he used to have. He was just looking around in panic, as if fearing something.
The actor team stood together, and although Actress Elizabeth’s eyes were also red, the expression on the man standing beside her was much better than during the day.
It seems they had resolved things.
Mrs. Aisli’s face was extremely pale. She clung to her husband, occasionally glancing towards the staircase.
Richard himself carried his luggage alone. His “legal” wife was in Bai Lixin’s arms, and not only did he not show any signs of anger, his complexion had improved significantly these past two days.
Noticing Bai Lixin’s gaze, Richard looked over and even revealed a grateful smile.
Bai Lixin: “…”
When he finds the opportunity, he must have a good talk with Richard to figure out what kind of terrifying creature Jia’er was.
Ten more minutes passed before the youngest daughter arrived late, slowly dragging her luggage.
She had very little luggage, and even her suitcase was only one-third the size of others.
With her slender body effortlessly carrying the suitcase, she slowly and meekly approached the others, keeping her head lowered and obediently standing in front of everyone.
After pondering for two seconds, she dragged her luggage and stood in front of Mr. Nick, softly calling, “Father.”
Mrs. Aisli’s initially concerned gaze instantly turned desolate, but Mr. Nick just gave a disdainful snort, showing great contempt towards his youngest daughter. “What’s the matter? You still know I’m your father? Don’t you have someone else supporting you?”
The youngest daughter’s eyes were as red as a rabbit’s eyes. She stood there, feeling wronged, her head drooping like a frost-bitten eggplant. “I’m sorry, Father. Can you let me come home?”
Mr. Nick glanced at his youngest daughter, and two seconds later, he coldly snorted, “Then go back.”
Bai Lixin quietly observed the youngest daughter’s series of actions, feeling somewhat puzzled.
Since the youngest daughter knew that tonight was her deadline, why did she still choose to return to the Nick family in such a submissive manner?
Is It because she can’t let go?
Or is there another reason?
Seeing that everyone had gathered, the tour guide straightened his back and smiled. “Let’s go, guests. I’ll take you to rest in the rooms.”
As the tour guide said, the reception room was in the middle of one of the eight corridors. The group of people walked one after another, and on the luxurious carpet, the sound of their footsteps was almost completely absorbed.
Since everyone had visited this place before, they were somewhat familiar with it.
When they arrived in front of the splendid reception room, the tour guide skillfully opened it and led everyone inside.
The reception room was quite spacious, with a luxurious hall on the outside, surrounded by several bedrooms.
The tour guide pointed at those bedrooms. “There are six bedrooms in total, each equipped with an en-suite bathroom and washroom. Each bedroom has one large bed and one small bed.”
“For safety, the resort attendants will be on duty in the reception room all night to ensure your safety.”
“In addition, due to limited rooms, I need to reassign the rooms for you. Is that acceptable?”
Mrs. Aisli frowned. “You’ll be assigning rooms? Can I stay in the same room as my husband? I don’t want to stay with strangers. What if one of those strangers is the killer?”
The tour guide said, “That’s also possible. Since our staff will be on duty all night, you can initially assign rooms yourselves. If someone can’t find a room, I’ll make the arrangements.”
For the tour guide’s final proposal, no one had any objections.
Soon, everyone formed their own groups.
The philanthropist had one room.
The eldest and youngest daughters shared one room.
Mr. Nick and the youngest son-in-law shared one room.
Bai Lixin, Emil, and Richard shared a room.
Hongyue hesitated for a while, then reluctantly stood with Jia’er.
Next were the four actors. Elizabeth and the male actor were lovers, and the rooms could accommodate at least three people at most.
In the end, the other actress circled Hongyue and Jia’er, and the two daughters several times before hesitantly choosing to stay in the room with the two daughters.
For some reason, even though Hongyue and Jia’er appeared more normal, she instinctively didn’t want to be close to them.
Those two gave her a sense of fear.
All six rooms were now assigned.
——————–
In the live broadcast room
[Oh, looks like Hongyue is in a predicament.]
[Hongyue: I don’t want to, I really don’t want to.]
[So, here’s the question, Jia’er should be the big boss in women’s clothes right? How will they sleep at night?]
[??? Do you think Hongyue dares to share a bed with Jia’er? Jia’er will be sleeping alone.]
—————————
As soon as the rooms were assigned, a hungry growling sound echoed in the hall.
Everyone’s gaze immediately turned to the eldest daughter, who was clutching her stomach and looking lost.
Mrs. Aisli couldn’t bear to see it anymore. “Tour guide, is there really no extra food in the kitchen? This poor child is about to starve.”
The tour guide apologized, “I’m sorry, but there’s truly nothing left.”
The youngest daughter glanced at her sister and spoke softly, “But, didn’t you say there are plenty of apples in the backyard? Can’t you give her some apples to eat?”
As soon as the youngest daughter finished speaking, the eldest daughter’s eyes lit up. “Yes, apples! Can you pick some apples for me, please? I’m so hungry. I haven’t eaten enough all day, and I’m about to faint.”
The tour guide looked apologetic and pointed outside. “It’s already dark outside, and it’s too dangerous in case the killer takes advantage of the night. We need to endure it. Miss, please bear with it for one night, and tomorrow morning we’ll have someone pick apples for you, okay?”
The eldest daughter stomped her foot irritably. “Endure, endure, all I do is endure. Do you know how hard it is for me to endure all day?”
The tour guide expressed sympathy with his words, but his eyes remained indifferent. He raised his chin and looked at the eldest daughter with a pitying gaze, as if he were a high and mighty spectator, watching a boring soap opera unfold.
“But what can we do? It’s already dark outside, so we must endure.” He glanced at the clock hanging in the hall. “It’s already 9 PM. I suggest you all rest early. If you encounter any danger at night, just push the door and come out. Our staff will be guarding outside to protect you.”
“I have a question.” Hongyue glanced at Jia’er beside her and then moved closer to Emil. “Can I switch rooms now? After giving it some thought, I’d rather be in the same room as my little brother. Isn’t Mr. Richard Miss Jia’er’s wife? Mr. Richard, why don’t you two share a room?”
Richard’s face turned pale, and he looked at Jia’er stiffly, unsure of how to react.
Jia’er chuckled softly, a faint smile appearing on his lips as he spoke slowly. “If you insist on switching, why not let Mr. Bai Lixin come over? In fact, the relationship with Richard had already broken down before we came to this resort. We both intended to repair our relationship here, but I’m sorry to say that our relationship has reached its end. No matter what we do, we can’t fix it.”
“So, I can’t share a room with Richard anymore.”
“Since Miss Hongyue wants to be with her little brother, I believe Mr. Bai Lixin will be more than willing to help fulfill her wish.”
Everyone except for Hongyue and Emil, who knew the truth, looked at Richard with sympathetic eyes.
Oh, poor man. This green hat is too big.
They looked at the two as if they were watching a good show, but to their surprise, they found no trace of sadness on Mr. Richard’s face, but a kind of relieved expression.
He smiled sincerely, and turned towards Jia’er with a standard etiquette for nobles and gentlemen, “Since you have made this decision, I respect your decision and are willing to break the relationship with you.”
Everyone looked at each other. The eyes that originally sympathized with Mr. Richard shifted to Jia’er this time.
Ah, poor Miss Jia’er. She actually met such a leech.
This man clearly doesn’t love Miss Jia’er. He must have used this elegant lady as a stepping stone for his success. Once he succeeded with the help of her family’s influence, he discard her without hesitation.
No wonder Miss Jia’er is closer to Bai Lixin. Richard used such a despicable trick to get rid of her, intentionally bringing her here and then neglecting her. It’s too much.
He’s a scumbag, they must break up!
Richard felt the accusing gazes of everyone around him. “…”
Wronged.jpg!
—————————–
In the live broadcast room
[The people present instantly imagined a passionate drama.]
[Indeed, such high-end people enjoy watching drama.]
[So, judging from Richard’s expression, he knew Jia’er’s true identity from the beginning?]
[What’s Richard’s significance?]
[Perhaps he’s a reasonable accessory to bring Jia’er to the resort?]
[Uh… It’s possible? We can’t really tell yet.]
[Well, let’s watch and see.]
————————-
So Bai Lixin’s room was settled like that.
It was only when he pushed Jia’er into Room 5 that he silently sent a private message to Hongyue.
Bai Lixin: [???]
Hongyue replied almost instantly: [Hahaha.]
Bai Lixin: “…”
Bai Lixin: [Won’t you explain the behavior of selling teammates??]
Hongyue: [You can’t blame me. I was afraid that the big boss couldn’t resist and would teach me a lesson at night. Also, I didn’t betray you. It was Richard. Blame him for being so cunning and divorcing someone but still bringing them here. Hahaha, hahaha.]
Bai Lixin: [Don’t believe I won’t thank you later!]
This time, Hongyue paused for a long time before replying with two words.
[He he.]
Bai Lixin stared at these two words, he really wanted to have a chat with Song Yuantian.
He quickly created a group chat and added both Hongyue and Emil.
Bai Lixin: [Let’s talk about something serious. Emil, the key you gave me that day, did you just randomly pick it up, or was there a purpose behind it?]
Emil: [It wasn’t random.]
Hongyue: [I remember, continue.]
Emil: [Samael used to tell me stories often. He once told me a story about how the demon in the Garden of Eden took the form of a snake and tempted Adam and Eve to eat the fruit of wisdom. Later, the demon was punished and imprisoned in the Garden of Eden. He longed for freedom, but the Garden of Eden restricted his freedom and kept him locked up. He had no hands or feet, but the Garden of Eden assigned him to do intricate work and labor every day.]
[If we combine it with the seven deadly sins, “Samael” probably refers to the “Samael” of the seven deadly sins, and the snake in that story.]
[If you are assigned to do intricate work, you should be a craftsman. So, I suspect that Samael is the craftsman.]
Bai Lixin: [Since you know everything, why didn’t you go look around yourself?]
Emil: [Because you’re more capable. You know my level, and my character is not great.]
Bai Lixin paused, then continued. [Emil, you are the greatest pretender I’ve ever seen. If it weren’t for your recent efforts in this copy, you would still be perfect.]
A few seconds later, Emil responded slowly: […]
Hongyue: [What do you mean? Hey, don’t treat me like an outsider, explain the cause and effect.]
Bai Lixin: [Actually, your approach is very wise. Pretending to be arrogant and weak, spending enough time in copies, but not ascending to higher levels. Have you perhaps discovered something? Like the secret of the 900th floor.]
Emil: [… What are you, Bai Lixin? I was perfectly disguised. It was only that lunatic Samael who saw through me, and now you’re the second!]
Hongyue: [??? Are you guys ignoring me?]
Emil: [You’re right, I’ve already noticed the issue with the 900th floor. No player has gone beyond that floor. It’s assumed that either the 900th floor is too difficult, or players have completed 100% of the main mission before reaching it and left the game lobby. But I don’t think so. These concepts are all instilled by the system into players. I am a magician and a master of games. Who wouldn’t want to stand atop the pyramid and take a look? Unless they simply can’t.]
[The 900th floor is highly dangerous, that was the first piece of information I obtained.]
[With such a large population, of course, personalities would be varied. Some are heroes, some are tyrants, some are geniuses, and some are worthless scammers. Being worthless is a great disguise—I’m not so ambitious, I just want to live well and leave. Surviving like that should be enough, right?]
Bai Lixin: [It’s not an issue, how much progress have you made on your main mission?]
Emil: [I’m almost at 90% completion. Just need to continue surviving for another year or so, then I can leave this place.]
Hongyue: [??? Hello? Can you guys see me?]
Bai Lixin: [I have a question. When we first met three years ago on the 50th floor, were you there by chance or waiting intentionally?]
Emil: [… Are you the devil, Bai Lixin?]
Emil: [It’s exactly as you thought. I was waiting for you on purpose. Many people in the guild were interested in you, the guild president, Samael… I had to come and test you.]
Bai Lixin and Jia’er were among the last to arrive at the dining hall’s entrance.
The others didn’t arrive too early either, and they were all anxiously and restlessly pacing in place.
Many things, when spoken of during the day, don’t evoke much, but once the night falls, people’s psychological defenses will be eroded to a large extent under the thick and engulfing darkness.
