Give Xingtie a little MC shock

Chapter 187: The Unconscious Guest

After being stunned for a moment, San Yueqi immediately began to search the entire room. Unfortunately, even though she searched all the places where people could hide, she still couldn't find Xing He.

"Sister Jizi!"

San Yueqi anxiously looked at Ji Zi and Walter for help. Ji Zi reached out and rubbed her head to signal her not to worry. Then she frowned and looked at the waiter guarding the door and asked, "Miss waiter, was this door locked from the beginning?"

When the waiter was asked this question, he nodded and replied: "Yes, ma'am, it was locked from the beginning. This door can be manually locked from the inside and outside."

Ji Zi pinched her chin and couldn't help thinking: "Xing He is not in the room, could it be that he went out? But if he is in reality, we should not be unable to contact him."

San Yueqi swallowed nervously and couldn't help but asked worriedly, "Could something have happened to Xing He?"

Seeing that the two of them were a little panicked at this time, Walter immediately raised his hands and pressed their shoulders: “Calm down, we have to believe in Xing He’s strength.”

Then he turned to the waiter at the door and asked, "Ms. Waitress, can you take us to check the surveillance of this corridor? Our friend is not inside, and we can't contact him."

"what?!"

The waiter panicked when he heard that the VIP in the room was missing. The disappearance of a VIP who owned a permanent VIP room at the Daydream Hotel was a big deal for the Daydream Hotel!

If it is not handled properly, it may affect the reputation of Daydream Hotel in the outside world, so she nodded and agreed: "Okay! Please follow me back to the front desk!"

The three followed the waiter back to the front desk again, and after checking the surveillance system at the front desk, they discovered a problem.

That is, ever since Xing He had just separated from them and returned to the room to fall asleep, he had never come out again, and no one had entered the room in the meantime until they broke in with the waiter a few minutes ago.

"What happened to Xing He..."

After watching the surveillance video, March 7 became listless and sat on the sofa with his head down.

Walter kept watching the video copied from the surveillance system over and over again. He noticed that after Xing He and Sha Jin entered the guest room, another guest had briefly entered the room.

And seeing the figure with long purple hair and a long sword in his hand, Walter couldn't help but press his eyebrows.

"Impossible...I think I'm overthinking."

"Walter, did you find anything?" Ji Zi noticed that Walter's expression was not right and asked quickly.

Walter paused the video and played it back to the moment when the woman was standing at the door of the room and handed it to Ji Zi and San Yueqi.

"You see, although no one has entered the room since Xing He returned, there was another woman who had brief contact with Xing He before, in addition to the envoy from the company."

When San Yueqi saw the tall figure, he couldn't help but mutter, "Could Xing He have been deceived by a bad woman again?"

Ji Zi glared at Sanyueqi in a reproachful manner, and then carefully wrote down the appearance of the figure in the phone: "Well, Xiao Sanyue, go to the front desk to investigate the information of this guest. Since she appeared in the guest room area, I think she should have registered information. Walter, the two of us will go to ask the people in the company. Mr. Shajin must not have come to Pinoconi alone. If we can get Mr. Shajin's contact information, we may be able to get clues related to Xing He."

"Ah."

The three of them split into two groups. March 7 went to the front desk to inquire about the woman's information, while Ji Zi and Walter went to look for people from the company.

Fortunately, the company employees' uniforms were particularly eye-catching in Pinocchio, and soon Jizi and Walter found a group of company employees gathered together.

As the two of them got closer, before they could open their mouths to ask about the gold sand, a familiar voice was heard.

"Huh? Ms. Jizi, Mr. Walter, I didn't expect to see you at this time."

Topa smiled and stood up from the sofa in the reception area, with some fat on his shoulders.

Ji Zi was delighted to see that it was Topa. It would make things easier if there was an acquaintance present. As one of the Ten Stone Hearts, Topa would definitely know how to contact Sha Jin.

"Ms. Toppa, long time no see."

"It hasn't been that long, has it? But it's nice to see you two again. Judging from your expressions, did something happen to you?"

Topa noticed that the expressions on the two men's faces were not good-looking, but rather full of sorrow.

Ji Zi thought that Jian Topa was half her own, so she did not hide anything and told him about Xing He's disappearance.

"What? Director Xing He is missing?"

Topa was a little surprised, but then he squinted his eyes and lowered his head to think as if he had thought of something.

Ji Zi continued, "We checked the surveillance footage earlier, and the last people who had contact with Xing He were Mr. Sha Jin and a lady I've never met. I want to ask, Topa, do you have Sha Jin's contact information?"

"Sure, here it is."

Topa immediately took out Shajin's contact information from his mobile phone and gave it to Jizi and Walter.

"Thank you."

After expressing her gratitude, Ji Zi planned to contact Sha Jin immediately to ask if he had any clues about Xing He, but before she could take any action, Topa spoke again.

"Please wait a moment Ms. Himeko. I found something strange here that may be able to help you."

Jizi and Walter looked at Topa curiously. Seeing that they were willing to listen, Topa glanced left and right, then pulled them to a blind spot of the surveillance camera and pointed at the hound family coming and going not far away.

"I don't know if you two have noticed that, from a while ago, the family members began to frequently go in and out of the guest rooms with some medical staff, and they intentionally didn't let others know what they were doing. For some reasons, I asked my staff to investigate, and they found something strange."

"Something strange?"

"Yes! Many guests were carried out of the guest rooms by the family members. They all have several common characteristics. One is that they are unconscious, and the other is that they are all guests playing during the golden hour. The symptoms of these people are also different from ordinary comas. As you know, even if a person is unconscious, the body will still respond to external stimuli, but these guests...how should I put it? All the data show that they are alive, but they give people the feeling of being dead, as if they have no souls."

Although what Topa said sounded very strange, Jizi still grasped a key piece of information from it. She frowned and turned to look at Walter.

“Walter, if I remember correctly, it was the golden hour after Xing He entered the dream, right?”

Chapter 188 Gallagher: Do you believe it?

Walter thought back to the situation at that time. After everyone returned to their rooms and fell asleep, he used the positioning on his mobile phone to confirm everyone's location, so that they could find each other later. The dream that Xing He entered was the golden moment.

"Well, if you remember correctly, Xing He is indeed at the golden hour, so does that mean there is a problem at the golden hour?"

Ji Zi nodded: "This is the only possibility I can think of. In reality, so many guests have the same symptoms. Unless they encounter the same thing in a certain place, I can't think of any other possibility. And up to now, the family has not made any relevant announcements. I'm afraid this matter is not a small matter."

"Do you want to go back to the dream and take a look?"

"Well, that's for sure."

Topa listened to Jizi and the other two discussing the next course of action. He spread his hands in frustration and said to them, "I'm sorry, if it's in a dream, I'm afraid the company can't provide any assistance. I was planning to enter the dream, but these family members found dozens of different excuses to try their best to prevent the company's people from entering the dream."

Jizi had expected that the company would not be able to provide any help, but she did not mind it too much. It was already great that Topa could provide this information.

In her opinion, although Xing He is a director of the company, the only department in the company that completely stands on Xing He's side is probably the Strategic Investment Department. Unless it is proven that Xing He really disappeared in Pinocchio, the company will try its best to enter the dream to look for him.

Ji Zi didn't expect a profit-oriented company to help her out of so-called friendship, so she didn't pay too much attention to Topa's words. Instead, she thanked Topa with a smile.

"It's okay. Ms. Topa, the information you provided has been of great help to us. We can handle the rest ourselves."

Topa was relieved to see that Ji Zi was not angry because the company could not provide help. To have a good relationship with Star Train was also one of the tasks assigned to her by Diamond. If this incident caused Star Train to be dissatisfied with the Strategic Investment Department, she would be guilty of a serious crime.

"Thank you for your understanding, Ms. Jizi. Although the company cannot provide any help in the dream, in reality, I will do my best to assist the Starry Sky Train."

"Thank you."

After parting with Topa, Jizi and Walter found Sanyueqi who had just finished his investigation at the front desk. The three of them exchanged information on their way back to their respective rooms.

After investigating the registration information of the mysterious woman, San Yueqi did not obtain any useful intelligence. The only thing they knew was that the woman was named Huang Quan and was a sea patrol ranger.

Walter and Jizi were both skeptical about the woman named Huang Quan who claimed to be a sea ranger.

After all, the Sea Patrol Rangers are considered to be the most mysterious group of people in the entire universe, and no Sea Patrol Rangers have appeared for a long time. They have no way of verifying whether Huang Quan is a Sea Patrol Ranger.

Since there was no useful information from March 7, Ji Zi and the other two had no choice but to go to Golden Hour according to the pre-arranged plan to see what happened before making any plans.

After the three returned to their respective rooms and fell asleep, they met again in the lobby of the Daydream Hotel in the dream.

After gathering in the hall, Ji Zi led the two towards the passage leading to the Golden Hour, but before they had gone far, they saw a large group of members of the Hound Family blocking the passage leading to the Golden Hour, and a group of uninformed tourists were gathering in front to inquire about the situation.

Ji Zi and the other two looked at each other, and spontaneously blended into the crowd to eavesdrop on the conversation between the Hound members and the tourists.

"What's going on? We paid a lot of money to stay in the hotel just to experience the golden hour! Why won't you let us go?"

"I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen. Golden Hour is under repair due to an accident and is temporarily closed to the public. We will notify you when the repair is completed. In order to compensate for your losses, our hotel will renew your room for seven days for free! Please wait patiently. Other times are also tourist attractions not to be missed. Guests in need can come to me to get a time guide!"

Although the tourists were still resentful, they did not insist any further after hearing the Hound members say that the family would make compensation. They just cursed a few words and then began to disperse.

After eavesdropping on the conversation, Ji Zi and the other two followed the crowd and left the passage. They came to an empty corridor. Ji Zi's brows furrowed even more deeply.

"It seems that something must have gone wrong with the Golden Hour. The family was so generous that they extended the accommodation time for all guests by seven days. This means that they don't have the confidence to maintain the Golden Hour within at least seven days."

Walter nodded in agreement, then adjusted his glasses on his nose: "I noticed something before. When those tourists were talking to the family members, many fully armed family members entered the golden hour. What on earth requires the family members to be so fully armed to deal with the so-called most harmonious dream world?"

San Yueqi, who had been fiddling with his phone from the beginning, sighed and put it away. He said to the two of them in annoyance, "I tried to contact Xing He again, but still couldn't get through. We are in a hotel very close to the golden hour, but it's as if the golden hour has completely separated from this beautiful dream."

Just when the three were worried, a series of footsteps sounded in their ears, and they immediately turned their heads to look.

Gallagher adjusted his collar and waved to the three people with a faint smile.

"Yo, it looks like you guys are in some trouble... Um, when you greet strangers, shouldn't you look into their eyes? Why are you staring at the top of my head?"

March 7 raised his hand and pointed at the string of words above Gallagher's head.

[Fictional historian Gallagher!]

"I'm sorry, but the words above your head are too dazzling. I can't look away."

Gallagher also looked up, then covered his face and wailed silently.

Xing He, this guy! Even putting a bunch of ellipsis marks on his forehead is better than directly revealing his true identity!

Now, he didn't dare to show up in front of those people in the family. Once he showed up...

"Hmm?! Fictional historian? Sir, you are suspicious, come here for investigation!"

The above situation will occur.

Gallagher sighed, then forced himself to cheer up, forced a smile and looked at Ji Zi and the other two.

"I said I'm here to help you, do you believe me?"

Jizi and Walter looked skeptical.

You can't believe a word the fictional historian says.

Chapter 189: Zombies know martial arts, no one can stop them

When Gallagher saw the expressions on their faces, he knew that they didn't believe him at all, and he couldn't help but feel a headache.

Although Xing He's name tag successfully allowed him to exist for a longer period of time, the price he paid was that anyone who knew that he was a fictional historian would no longer believe what he said.

Now Gallaher is at a loss, but he doesn't need to really make Ji Zi and others believe him. He just needs to convey the message to everyone on the Star Train, and then they will confirm whether what he said is true or false.

"Since you don't believe me, then you should just treat my next words as a story. Today, the Golden Hour has been assimilated into another form. Anyone who dies in it will not wake up immediately in reality. Their minds are lost in another world. The family members have also realized this, so they separated the Golden Hour from the dream world. Now the Golden Hour is gradually sinking into the original memory domain."

Gallagher's words successfully dispelled some of the doubts in the hearts of Ji Zi and the other two. The people in his words would not immediately wake up and be able to match the situation in reality, but due to the words of fictional historian on Gallagher's head, they could not guarantee how much truth or falsehood Gallagher said. It was hard to say, and only this sentence in his words was true.

Ji Zi narrowed her eyes and examined the unshaven and listless Gallagher in front of her.

"Why are you helping us? We probably don't even know each other."

Seeing that they still had such great doubts about him, Gallagher rubbed the hair on the back of his head in annoyance.

"Well, in that case, let me introduce myself again."

Gallagher raised his hand and pointed at the string of words above his head. "The self-introduction that Xing He gave me is actually not complete. I have another identity. I am the deputy of [Watchmaker] and the mastermind behind sending the invitation letter to the Starry Sky Train. What do you think? Do you believe it?"

After saying this, Gallagher smacked his lips in displeasure. Why did it feel like the phrase "Do you believe it?" was almost becoming his catchphrase?

Every time you finish speaking, you have to say something beforehand to judge whether the other person believes what you said.

However, what Gallagher had expected, that the three of them would believe him or remain skeptical, did not happen. Instead, the three of them stared at his eyes.

"Have you seen Xing He?" ×3

Gallagher nodded, took off the pocket watch on his chest, flipped the cover to check the time: "Well, about one system time ago, I met Xing He in the golden hour before he was fully assimilated. This guy saved my life. Can you believe me now?"

"Maybe." Ji Zi crossed her arms, her attitude was much better than before, but she did not say anything final. Before she met Xing He, she would not completely believe a fictional historian, but now she was troubled by the fact that there was no clue related to Xing He.

Even if it was said by a fictional historian, she had to try to investigate along the clues given by the other party.

"Mr. Gallagher, you said that the Golden Hour was stripped away. Do you have a way to enter the Golden Hour?"

Gallagher frowned immediately. To be honest, he was not very sure: "Maybe, but there is no guarantee that he can come out."

The rules in the Golden Hour are completely different from the ones they are familiar with. Originally, the dream should be filled with memories, but in that assimilated world, he did not detect the existence of any memories.

After listening carefully to what Gallagher said, Ji Zi fell into deep thought. After a long time, she raised her head and looked at Walter and March Seven.

Walter and Ji Zi said in unison: "Divide the troops into two groups."

San Yue Qi looked at the two of them in confusion: "Why are the troops divided into two groups?"
