Showbiz Escape

Chapter 62
Corresponding to the seven kinds of monsters of the seven deadly sins, the team of four has only seen six of them so far, and the last monster representing arrogance has not been found, but they have temporarily lost their clues.

The four of them were sitting around a table in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, facing the mess after the scuffle, and were pouring the water they had just received.

The more Wen Zhuo drank, the hungrier she became, and she began to regret it rarely.

"If I had known earlier, I might as well join in the fun with Chun En and eat two pieces of dog meat to fill my belly."

Tang Chunen quickly waved his hand: "Forget it, that dog meat is really disgusting. Fortunately, you didn't eat it. Look at how Jiang Zhou vomited."

Jiang Zhou glanced at her: "When will this matter be turned over?"

"Even if you are my client, you have no right to interfere with my freedom of speech."

After a couple of gossips, they still wanted to talk about business. Ye Lingchuan looked at the marble-like sapphire he had obtained from the raging monster before, and then he opened his mouth after a long silence.

"Wen Zhuo, what do you think these props have to do with arrogant monsters?"

"I'm not too sure." Wen Zhuo said, "But since the monster's hints are distributed according to the floor, now only the first floor is left."

They had obtained the room keys from the second floor to the seventh floor, but not the first floor.

Tang Chunen was puzzled: "The problem is that the first floor is a lobby, and there are no rooms. Besides, we have searched all over here, and found nothing unusual."

Jiang Zhou said in a deep voice, "Is there another hidden snow area on the first floor?"

"I don't think it's possible."

The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener meant it. Jiang Zhou's words reminded Wen Zhuo a little bit, and she subconsciously looked at Ye Lingchuan, knowing that he must have thought about it too.

"There may not be a hidden snow area on the first floor, but the so-called first floor area may not only include the hotel lobby."

Ye Lingchuan nodded in agreement: "The courtyard should also be counted."

Tang Chunen immediately asked: "Does the backyard count? Do we need to check it again?"

"The two of us have been to the backyard, and we don't think there's anything wrong." Wen Zhuo thought about it carefully, "It's more likely to be the front yard."

Ye Lingchuan was sitting right now facing the floor-to-ceiling windows connecting the hall and the front yard. Through this window, he could fully see the small fountain and the statue of Eros standing in the center of the fountain.

Thoughtful, he asked Wen Zhuo: "Did you observe the statue carefully when you came here?"

Wen Zhuo shook his head: "At that time, I was only focused on reading the hints on the paper, and didn't pay much attention to the statue—do you want to take another look?"

"That's what I meant."

Both of them acted swiftly and swiftly, got up immediately, left the hall one after the other and walked towards the courtyard.

Seeing this, Tang Chunen quickly tugged Jiang Zhou's sleeve beside him, and chased him out in a hurry.

Jiang Zhou was almost lost his temper by her: "Take it easy, I can walk by myself."

"Easy? Why are you so particular?" Tang Chunen was deeply puzzled, "The clothes you are wearing are very expensive? Don't let me touch them?"

"...I've been caught by a dog once, so I won't let you touch it."

"There is some truth in what you say, but it sounds awkward to me."

"That's a matter of your own understanding."

Tang Chunen gave him a blank look, and she was too lazy to share his knowledge. Compared with competing with him, she thought it was more important to solve the puzzle and complete the task as soon as possible.

"Aju, did you find anything?"

Standing in the fountain, Wen Zhuo looked up slightly at the face of the Cupid statue—it was a young and delicate face, with gentle brows and eyes, and a humble smile.

She moved her eyes down and glanced at the bow and arrow held by Cupid. It must be known that the note they got at the beginning was taken from the tip of the arrow. At that time, everyone didn't think there was anything wrong.

But now...

She stretched out her hand and stroked the bow. Under the dim moonlight above her head, she saw that there seemed to be a very shallow circular pattern on the side of the bow, and the touch was indeed slightly sunken.

Once you accept this setting, it is not difficult to associate.

"I found something." She answered Tang Chunen, and then called out, "Brother Chuan, give me that sapphire."

Ye Lingchuan handed it to her as he said, and to avoid accidents, he also entered the fountain pool and stood with her.

Wen Zhuo put the sapphire close to the round depression on the side of the bow and arrow, and sure enough, the shape fit perfectly.

She used a little more force on her hand, and then saw that the circle of light surrounded by sapphire gradually became clear, and the position where it touched the bow and arrow also had a tendency to soften inwards—for example, it was as if being touched It's like the fire melted.

The gemstone was finally embedded in the bow, and it fit perfectly.

Suddenly, a tingling sensation like an electric shock came from the fingertips, and Wen Zhuo quickly withdrew his hand, pulling Ye Lingchuan back cautiously.

"look."

As the light of the sapphire continued to spread outward, the entire bow and arrow began to become radiant, and later even spread to the whole body of the Eros statue.

Tang Chun'en thought she was wrong, she blinked twice, her expression was a bit incredulous.

"The statue seemed to move just now?"

Jiang Zhou also looked up: "Are you sure?"

"I'm basically sure."...

The Cupid statue did move.

At first it was just the head of the statue that lifted, very slowly, slightly, almost imperceptibly.

Later, the movement of the statue also changed a little. The arm holding the bow was slowly lifted up, and the arrow tip pointed to where they were.

Cupid's eyes watched them, each second brighter than the last.

Its expression also changed, the humble smile disappeared, replaced by a cold and harsh scrutiny, which made one feel chills down the spine inexplicably.

Having experienced the game for a long time, both Wen Zhuo and Ye Lingchuan knew too well where this ominous premonition came from.

This is an out-and-out murderous aura, which heralds imminent danger, and when they feel it, it is usually too late to escape.

"Mr. Jiang." Wen Zhuo motioned calmly, "Hide behind."

Jiang Zhou was startled, causing Tang Chunen to urge him nervously.

"I'm afraid this statue is going to mutate, so I want you to hide behind and hold your rake!"

"..."

He looked down at the iron broom in his hand, endured and endured, and finally chose to respect the arrangement and stood behind her.

Ye Lingchuan said in a deep voice: "We should have found out earlier, this statue is the body of the arrogant monster."

"Yes." Wen Zhuo sighed, "Neglect."

The Pride Monster was indeed on the first floor, standing under their noses from the moment they stepped through the gate.

I don't know the true face of Lushan, I am only in this mountain.

They retreated all the way to the door of the hotel lobby, never taking their eyes off the statue of Cupid in the fountain pool—or rather, the Pride Monster.

The snow-white outer skin of the statue is peeling off unevenly one by one, gradually revealing the dark and cracked skin inside.

As its body continued to expand, its face also took on the appearance of a white-faced evil spirit.

Its limbs stretched out, each finger and toe turned into a pitch-black poisonous snake with fangs, the dark green venom dripped on the ground, and wisps of burnt blue smoke rose.
