Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Tang Qianqian and Yang Ping spoke in unison, but gave completely opposite answers.

"Tang Qianqian, tell me what you think."

"Because the senior summoned us to train here, there must be evil spirits haunting this place!"

Tang Qianqian gave the answer with confidence. She called this method "looking beyond the question to see the essence" and reversing the process through the answer.

"Completely off topic, 0 points."

Duan Mingyuan said mercilessly, "This question tests your understanding of the basic knowledge of evil spirits."

Before the special training began, he had made two copies of the manuscript and gave them to the two people.

Before the organization officially revised and printed the first set of textbooks, the copies of the manuscripts served as temporary textbooks.

He has always advocated that practice and theory are equally important.

After that, he turned to Yang Ping and placed high hopes on this outstanding student, "Yang Ping, what do you think?"

"Sister Qianqian's words make sense. There may indeed be evil spirits haunting this hotel, but Tianwaimin's death should have nothing to do with the evil spirits. According to the contents of the manuscript, people who are attacked by evil spirits will not leave corpses, and rarely leave traces at the scene. So I think Tianwaimin died of heart disease or was murdered."

"Oh? You are really worthy of me, Yang Ping."

Tang Qianqian didn't seem to care about the fact that she got zero points. Instead, she patted Yang Ping's shoulder in appreciation and said, "You really have the potential to be a detective... But then again, is all this theoretical knowledge really useful?"

She thought back to the questions she had studied day and night in high school, but now she had forgotten most of them and she would probably never have the chance to use them again.

"some."

Without waiting for Duan Mingyuan to speak, Yang Ping spoke up, "The fact that evil spirits usually don't leave corpses behind when they kill people is a lesson learned by Senior Mingyuan through countless cases. It's not common sense that people know about. Even the murderer himself may not understand the secrets. However, we can quickly determine from the condition of the corpse whether it was a murder committed by an evil spirit or a murder case in which the evil spirit is trying to put the blame on the evil spirit."

If you ignore theoretical knowledge and fall into the trap set by the murderer from the very beginning, then no matter how hard you try later, it will be difficult to get closer to the truth.

Duan Mingyuan nodded with satisfaction.

As expected, he is the young man who was admitted to the No. 1 Middle School in the city.

"The information Dajiang sent shows that after Tian Waimin died suddenly in the hotel, his assistant gradually took over his work over the next three years and replaced him step by step."

Of course, this information obtained from internal investigations of Universal Company is destined not to be widely known.

"It was the assistant who murdered his boss, and then he put the blame on the evil spirit!"

Tang Qianqian's eyes widened as she suddenly realized.

She never expected that the strange stories that were talked about so much by supernatural enthusiasts actually had such a hidden story.

But then she thought of something and asked, "So the reason why the senior called us here for special training is because there is indeed an evil spirit here, right?"

"About three years ago, a member of the organization sneaked into the hotel to investigate and disappeared, and someone else originally suggested using this place as a special training location."

"who is it?"

Tang Qianqian looked around curiously. Could there be other masters?

"It's September."

Duan Mingyuan said, "Intelligence September."

Thanks to Huijing for the reward of 100 Qidian coins!

Thanks to Zhishoudubanbaqiandi for the reward of 100 Qidian coins!

Chapter 40: Running Away is a Science

Intelligence September?

Several people and their companion monsters looked at each other in surprise. This sounded like an incredible title.

Just as they were secretly trying to figure out how powerful Intelligence September was, the little fox, who had just checked in, walked towards them. She raised the room card in her hand and said, "Although the expenses this time are reimbursed by the organization, we still have to abide by the virtue of frugality and book three single rooms. Each person and their companion demon will live in one room."

When distributing the room cards, she couldn't help feeling regretful.

Such a plot appeared in the comic book she recently downloaded on her mobile phone.

Jiu Yue originally scoffed at romance comics, but recently, she found a unique way to read them.

First, put yourself in the shoes of the heroine, and then imagine the hero as Mr. Ming Yuan. Suddenly, those dull and boring daily chores become interesting, and can even be described as exciting.

The business of this hotel named Congyun is not very prosperous and there are always a lot of empty rooms all year round, so it is not the case that all the double bed rooms are booked and only the king bed rooms are left.

The hotel’s dismal current situation is closely related to its business strategy.

The operators are determined to make as much money as possible, and the room rates are higher than those of five-star luxury hotels. The customer base is firmly locked on those paranormal fans who like to follow the trend and join in the fun.

In fact, apart from fans of the supernatural, no normal person would be willing to live in such an old and dilapidated place.

"We don't have any problem, but...are you guys staying in the same room?"

Tang Qianqian raised an objection.

"This is the most scientific method of allocation. It depends on the tacit understanding between the companion monster and the object of affinity, or it may be the combination of the strengths and weaknesses of the team."

Jiu Yue had already thought of a bunch of reasons. Although she was answering Tang Qianqian's question, she kept looking at Duan Mingyuan. "My life energy is 0, and I am undoubtedly the weakest link in the team, so it is the most reasonable arrangement for Mingyuan and I to live in the same room first."

"That was not what I meant."

Tang Qianqian coughed lightly and said seriously, "I mean, can I come over tonight? Or can I watch it live? To be honest, I'm very interested in this."

She was really happy for her senior. When she was in the company before, she felt that it was a pity to lose such an outstanding person like her senior.

And September is a fox demon.

Based on her years of experience in watching TV dramas, who in this world doesn't want to have a sweet love affair with a fox demon?

"Don't think about unnecessary things all the time."

Duan Mingyuan interrupted the conversation that was gradually going off track, "I chose this place for a reason. After a member of the organization disappeared here, Dajiang designated this place as an area where private investigation is prohibited."

"But senior, don't you find it strange?"

Tang Qianqian pointed at the entrance of the hotel and said, "If there really is something evil here, why can those psychic enthusiasts leave alive?"

There were indeed some missing cases circulating on the Internet, but basically there was no solid evidence, and their authenticity was somewhat similar to the chat records forwarded in the group. She was also skeptical when looking up the information. If so many murders had really occurred in the Murakumo Hotel and countless people had disappeared there, then even Kogoro Mouri could see that there was a big problem here.

As long as the Yunlong City came to investigate, the hotel would be sealed off immediately. How on earth has it been able to survive until today?

"It seems you finally realized it."

He felt that as long as Tang Qianqian read his manuscript carefully, she would be able to notice the unusualness of Congyun Hotel.

However, considering the other party's learning efficiency, he still reminded, "Evil spirits in the 'internship' stage usually do not have independent thinking. Once they encounter prey, they will pounce on it regardless of everything. Therefore, for this type of evil spirits, there is no such thing as 'controlling diet'."

But this is clearly not the case at Congyun Hotel.

Some new urban legends are born here almost every month. In the circle of supernatural enthusiasts, this place has become one of the holy places. However, if all the horrific legends are investigated in depth, they will eventually lead to the conclusion that they cannot be confirmed.

On the other hand, although the bloggers who came to shoot videos and check in did encounter some bizarre events, they were always within people's acceptable range, and these people eventually left the hotel safely.

The rumors, both true and false, have undoubtedly become the best publicity. If there are any supernatural enthusiasts passing through Yunlong City, they will definitely come to this holy place to check in and take pictures.

The evil spirit that exists here is a special individual who knows how to run a hotel.

“Official employee!”

Tang Qianqian suddenly understood.

The manuscript mentioned that when the evil spirit passes the intern stage, it will gradually develop independent consciousness.

Duan Mingyuan expressed his own judgment, "In my opinion, it seems more like an evil spirit has entered the stage of building a nest here."

And judging from the situation at the Congyun Hotel, the evil spirit that built its nest is probably more sophisticated than the one that previously lurked in the abandoned construction site. It is very likely that it has already integrated into human society.

For the two rookies, the evil spirits that built a nest were far beyond their ability to deal with. If it were not for the upcoming commission, Duan Mingyuan would not have intended to adopt such an approach that was almost like forcing things to happen.

However, reality is not like fiction, where equally matched opponents are arranged at every stage.

The Night Scourge and its companions are undoubtedly terrifying creatures that have completed the nest-building stage.

"Senior, are you serious?"

Tang Qianqian still remembers the experience of being defeated by the Red-Eyed Demon. You have to know that the powerful enemy who appeared and disappeared mysteriously in a fight only had a life energy of 5. From a macro perspective, it is not an exaggeration to describe him as a worthless person.

Although she is now equipped with a set of divine clothes, it is still too difficult for her to challenge two levels in a row.

"This special training is not to enable you to defeat the evil spirits at the nesting stage. The only thing you need to learn is how to escape from the range of influence of this level of evil spirits."

Duan Mingyuan continued his previous thinking and implemented the organization’s early ideological policy of “run away if you can’t win.”

Running away is also a science.

For him, this is also a new practice.

He has encountered countless evil spirits since he was a child, and he has never chosen to retreat in any encounter.

But for Tang Qianqian and Yang Ping at this stage, this is undoubtedly the most helpful practice for them at the moment.

"……what?"

Tang Qianqian was stunned for a long while. "Shouldn't we work together and fight side by side, relying on friendship and bond to defeat the strong enemy?"

"Don't do unnecessary things."

At this moment, the "blade" radar in Duan Mingyuan's heart issued a strong warning.

Upon closer inspection, neither Tang Qianqian nor Yang Ping are the type to be worry-free.

Tang Qianqian has a carefree personality and is undoubtedly the one most likely to be killed on first sight among all people. In the story, she is the type of person who "helps her companions to spy on the secret of the enemy's abilities through her own sacrifice."

Although Yang Ping is extremely intelligent, he is at the most delicate age in his life. Coupled with his introverted personality, it is easy for him to become a character who is "silent on weekdays, but blocks the knife for his companions at the critical moment. People only discover that he is a gentle person until the last moment of his life."

Duan Mingyuan looked from all directions and felt as if there were two invisible knives hanging over their heads.

"I am the senior, and you are the juniors."

He emphasized again, "From now on, get rid of words like friendship, bond, and sacrifice from your heads. Once you encounter an opponent of this level, you have only one task, which is to escape from them, and then tell me the approximate location of the enemy when it is safe. It is the duty of the seniors to fight against such enemies."

"But, Senior, if you are alone..."

Tang Qianqian seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

Traps, first sight kills, those unknown enemies will even use them as bait to lure the seniors into the trap.

If they all choose to escape, wouldn't all the danger be transferred to the senior alone?

: "It doesn't matter."

Duan Mingyuan glanced at the two of them and warned them in an unquestionable tone, "I am the strongest. At least until you grow up, I will keep this position."

An unfortunate news, I failed in three rounds of trial PK, and will try to play the revival match next week.

The total number of days on the shelf: 40~

Chapter 41 Dark Cuisine Tasting Expert

Mr. Mingyuan is a man who really knows how to set up flags. His back is full of flags and there are several knives hanging above his head. Then he walked into the evil lair in a swagger.

But if you look at it from another perspective, as long as you stay with Mr. Mingyuan, you will have an inexplicable sense of security.

Jiu Yue, who was following behind him, felt mixed emotions.

She knew that Duan Mingyuan was not the kind of person who was arrogant and talked nonsense. The reason why he said that just now was probably to give the two newcomers confidence so that they would not have to feel too much pressure.

What a thoughtful person!

The interior of the hotel looked even more run-down, with a faint musty smell in the air. There was only one waitress, who had a gloomy face and dark circles under her eyes. She dozed off behind the counter and was indifferent even when customers came in.

The safety of the stairs was worrying. As soon as several people walked up, they heard a creaking noise.

Before reaching his room, Duan Mingyuan found that this place already had all the characteristics of a garbage hotel.

Unexpectedly, the corridor was not deserted. There was a group of excited young people in the corridor. When you approached, you could hear them talking about the strange stories of Congyun Hotel. The young man who was talking was talking about the red liquid flowing from the faucet.

This is probably the most common horror element. Wherever there is something related to the supernatural, there will be similar legends.

Duan Mingyuan suddenly felt his scalp tingling.

When he thought about how he just wanted to wash his hands but ended up with them covered in red, and that there was a high possibility that he wouldn't be able to clean them in a short time, his blood pressure suddenly soared.

Fortunately, the environment of the guest room is acceptable, at least the quilts and pillows are neatly arranged, but the facilities look a bit old. Duan Mingyuan thinks this may be one of the store's business strategies. When you have no expectations for the hotel's environment, a slightly acceptable guest room can greatly add points.
