Showbiz Escape

Chapter 51
The water from the fountain in the courtyard was still rattling. The impromptu teams of four each scooped up a handful of gleaming pebbles in the pool, and then walked up the steps collectively, pushing open the old door of the hotel that was covered in rust. .

The lobby is full of dust that hasn’t been cleaned for a long time, and there is a faint smell of rust; the carpet is covered with dust, and the pattern is blurred, and the original color can hardly be distinguished; the hotel lobby and corridors are lit with lights. You can also see the road ahead and your surroundings clearly.

Strangely, from the moment they stepped on the threshold, melodious and unknown light music sounded in the hotel. There was a bit of chill in the bottom of my heart.

Wen Zhuo looked around calmly, and saw that in addition to wooden tables and chairs for guests to dine in, there were two bookshelves and some decorative potted plants in the hall.

There is a wine rack behind the counter, and there is an old-fashioned tape recorder next to it. The music should come from the tape recorder.

She walked over and turned off the tape recorder, paused and pressed the switch again, and took out the tape inside.

She flipped the tape over, and sure enough, there was a white tape on the back of the tape, and two lines of small characters were written on the tape:

[Ring the bell on the hour, evil gods are about to haunt everywhere. 】

[Before then, please find the room key hidden in the lobby, and remember to check in alone. 】

... If the co-authors don't find the tape recorder first, or take out the tape, they won't find this key reminder. When the so-called "evil god" appears, players who are not prepared to deal with it will die.

It's a trap everywhere.

Wen Zhuo handed the tape to Ye Lingchuan who followed, and then turned his head to glance at the wall clock on the hotel wall.

"We still have half an hour to find the key."

"The reminder clearly stated that the keys are hidden in the lobby." Ye Lingchuan thought for a while, "Since the rules require that you stay alone, it means that we have found at least four keys."

At least four keys are required to meet the conditions of one person, one house.

At this time, Tang Chunen, who was on the sidelines, also understood: "The evil gods come and go every hour. Does it mean that the only way to be safe is to hide in the guest room?"

"That's pretty much what it means."

"The guest room is not absolutely safe, is it? Let Jiang Zhou own a guest room. In case decryption is needed or something unexpected happens, he may not be able to handle it."

It was the first time in Jiang Zhou's life that he felt the shame of being underestimated, especially when the person who said this was his very understanding and slick little assistant.

Has this girl been bothering him for a long time?Ever since she resigned, it seemed that she didn't even bother to put on the most basic appearance.

Thinking of this, he replied with a cold face: "Don't worry, even if it's my first time entering the game, I won't be so stupid."

Tang Chunen sighed: "Well, then you must be careful later, once you are out here, the loss of our entrustment will be small, and the important thing is to affect your flourishing career."

"..."

Then she didn't care about his expression, and was busy looking for the key by herself.

As a bounty hunter, you must have good search capabilities, such as quickly finding the required clues and props within the specified time.

This is of course no difficulty for Wen Zhuo and Ye Lingchuan. It is worth mentioning that Tang Chunen has also done a good job.

She seemed to be born with a keen sixth sense, so she managed to find two keys by herself, hiding them under the carpet and in the lampshade of the chandelier respectively.

She originally planned to move the chair to get the one hidden in the lampshade, but was stopped by Jiang Zhou halfway.

Jiang Zhou kept silent, he was 1.8 meters long with long hands and legs, he stepped on a chair and finished the task for her lightly and skillfully.

He was about to hand her the key, but she pushed it back quickly. Tang Chunen looked puzzled: "What are you doing for me? This is the room you are going to in a while."

"..."

I don't understand the style at all.

On the other side, Wen Zhuo also found the key from one of the books on the bookshelf, while Ye Lingchuan emptied a bottle of wine on the wine rack and took out the key soaked in it.

The four of them met and carefully studied the room number on the key.

The four guest rooms are located on the second, third, fifth and seventh floors. The problem now is that they cannot determine whether there is a difference between the lower floors and the upper floors, so there is no way to reduce the risk for Jiang Zhou.

Tang Chunen simply asked Jiang Zhou for his opinion: "Which floor do you want to go to? You can exchange keys with the three of us."

Jiang Zhou glanced at the clock on the wall, it was 10 minutes before the hour.

He said softly: "My key is on the third floor, then go to the third floor, don't waste time."

"Okay, I happen to be on the second floor, and I can run up in time if something happens."

Wen Zhuo's key is on the fifth floor, and Ye Lingchuan is on the seventh floor. They both looked at each other and felt that there was nothing wrong with this arrangement.

No matter how you think about it, putting Jiang Zhou in the middle is already the safest choice.

"Go, let's go to the guest room first."

******
The decorations on the other floors of the hotel are very ordinary. There are more than a dozen guest rooms scattered among them. The narrow and winding corridors are covered with crimson carpets, the walls are covered with thick yellow wallpapers, and some abstract wood carvings and metal decorations are hung. Stale smell.

Before going up to the third floor, seeing Tang Chunen was about to use the key to open the door of Room 204, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but exhort him.

"You pay attention to safety."

Tang Chun'en turned around wondering: "I have to tell you this? You act cautiously, and I won't stare at you. Don't make mistakes. A mistake will cause eternal hatred."

"... long-winded."

Is this plausible?He is going to complete the game mission, not to serve his sentence.

Jiang Zhou turned and left expressionlessly, unwilling to say a word.

Ye Lingchuan kept watching these two people coming and going, and when he walked up to the fifth floor with Wen Zhuo, he spoke with a half-smile.

"It turns out that Ms. Tang and Mr. Jiang are old acquaintances, which is interesting. I rarely see acquaintances place orders."

"It's not an order from an acquaintance." Wen Zhuo responded casually, "The two of them caught up entirely by virtue of tacit understanding."

"In some ways, you and I are also very wrong."

"Is this a good thing?"

"If you lose your horse, how can you know the fortune and misfortune?"

Wen Zhuo smiled. She took out the key from her pocket and walked towards the door of Room 510 with a brisk tone.

"Then we'll see you later, Brother Chuan."

"it is good."

……

Wenzhuo entered room 510.

The color of the furniture here is rather dull. At first glance, there is nothing special. The more eye-catching thing is that there is an old-fashioned bow hanging on the wall.

The bow seemed to be made from the bones of some kind of animal, refracting a slight phosphorescent light from different angles—and there was only a bow, no arrows.

She walked around the big bed and walked to the black wooden desk that looked extremely hard, and saw a square mirror standing on the desk, with a black frame neatly embedded around the mirror.

Strange to say, when she looked at the mirror, she suddenly had a strange feeling, as if this should not be a mirror, but should be...

A picture frame.

As a result, just as she thought about it, the next second, she saw her reflection in the mirror becoming blurred at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Instead, clear pattern lines are gradually pieced together.

It really is a painting.
