The dim street lamps reflected the dilapidated state of the old neighborhood. There were no signs of the residents, so they had probably moved out. The street was lined with old doors with red words spraying out of them. A cold wind was blowing the plastic bags and fallen leaves. A person was standing at the corner of the street. There were neither pedestrians nor cars. It was extremely cold.
"This is a little strange …" Wu Qiong examined his surroundings and felt his heart pounding. He walked alone under the dim light of the street lamp.
What is the background of this Red Rose Hotel?
The closer they got to the hotel, the colder Wu Qiong felt. Even if he wore a coat, he would still not be able to withstand the cold. The street lights in front of him completely dimmed down. Wu Qiong had no choice but to switch on the lighting mode on his mobile phone, immersing himself in the darkness under the dim yellow light.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Red Rose Hotel, Wu Qiong finally understood why the driver refused to come in.
It was an old abandoned hotel hidden in the demolition area.
The yellow tiles on the walls had cracked, the revolving doors were mottled with rust, and the logo of the "Red Rose Hotel" embedded in the doorway had fallen off. It looked more like a run-down hotel than a hotel.
The hotel's lobby was deathly silent. Wu Qiong was so scared that his shoes made a noise as they stepped on the broken glass. He quickly gathered his strength and searched for the stairs in the small lobby.
The surroundings were deathly silent.
"Ding." The sudden sound scared Wu Qiong so much that he almost threw his phone away.
Electricity... The elevator rang?
Ye Zichen carefully looked at his phone. The elevator panel, which had long been deactivated, was completely black. It actually found the entrance to the stairs.
The scarlet carpet on the second floor covered with black holes, rats could be seen disappearing from the trash can, and the cold wind blowing through the windows made Wu Qiong shiver, even shaking the door of the guest room.
The light from his cell phone reached 202.
Is the camera in this room?
He swallowed his saliva and slowly pushed the door open.
Wu Qiong narrowed his eyes, the light flickering in the dark and secluded room. After confirming that nothing unusual had happened in the room, he tiptoed into the room.
The room was large, but sparsely furnished.
In the corner was a desk littered with papers, and in the middle of it was a chair with a few books on it. On the wall facing the door was an owl's clock, staring wide-eyed at the panicking Wu Qiong.
It was already past eleven o'clock. There was less than an hour left.
It took me so long to get here from the hospital?
Wu Qiong could only suppress the uneasiness in his heart as he hurriedly started rummaging through the boxes.
At the corner of the room, Wu Qiong searched the entire room anxiously, but there was nothing there.
Only the chair with the books neatly placed on it was left!
Will the System... Hidden the quest item in the book?
He was about to head in the direction of the chair.
With a 'clang' sound, the chair was flipped upside down, and books were scattered all over the floor. Wu Qiong was so frightened that he retreated backwards.
What was even more terrifying was that Wu Qiong seemed to have heard a strange noise, as though he was standing in the direction of the chair that had been flipped upside down.
Creak … Creak … It was very light, and when the light swept over it, there was nothing to be seen.
Wu Qiong covered his ears and checked the entire room. There was no such thing as a camera!
Not In Room... Was it in the wall?
Wu Qiong recalled the corpse within the bridge as he gasped in shock.
Slamming against the wall, the solid wall produced a rumbling sound. Even if Wu Qiong were to smash his hand into the wall, he still wouldn't be able to find a place to hide anything.
"Ten minutes until the mission is completed." The system's cold voice suddenly sounded.
No way! Had an hour passed so quickly?
The sounds in the room grew increasingly clearer. This time around, Wu Qiong could clearly make out what the sounds were.
Something heavy was being pulled by the rope and it was swaying in the air. This sound was the sound of the rope rubbing against something.
Wu Qiong's soul was about to leave his body, but he couldn't see anything in the darkness. He just wanted to leave immediately.
"NO!" I can't go out! If we fail to complete the quest, we might be killed! " Wu Qiong forced himself to calm down as cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
The hands of the owl clock slowly turned, and the sound of the hands seemed to echo the sounds of the ropes rubbing against each other, striking Wu Qiong's heart.
Creak … "Click …" Creak … "Click …"
Wherever the light came from, there was a mass of white shadow moving in the darkness. When he focused his eyes, it disappeared.
"Could it be that someone was previously hanging there?!"
This thought that emerged from the bottom of his heart caused Wu Qiong's hands and feet to turn ice-cold.
His eyes inadvertently fell on the messy writing paper. Despite the cold wind blowing in from the window, the thin writing paper was stuck to the table without moving at all.
"Welcome to the scene of the filming, my main character!" Scarlet words were printed on the paper.
"Actor? A recording studio? "What do you mean?" Wu Qiong's mind was in a state of chaos. Extreme fear was threatening to overwhelm him.
"Pah!" The shaking sound of the heavy object suddenly stopped, followed by a muffled sound.
After a short period of silence, Wu Qiong carefully took out his phone and shone it behind him; it was completely empty.
"Time to finish the quest." Five more minutes. " The System reminded him.
There was a sliding sound beside him. What's coming?
But other than Wu Qiong, who else was in the room?
Time passed minute by minute, and Wu Qiong's heart was burning with anxiety.
The sound of sliding behind him seemed to be getting closer and closer.
At this moment, a faint beam of light could be vaguely seen in the corner of Wu Qiong's eyes.
The source of the light was a blurry DV, hovering in mid-air.
Task item? That's not right? Why didn't I see this before? And it was a virtual one at that?
"Time to finish the quest." Five more minutes. "
The moment the system's voice faded, he discovered that the virtual DV's shape was even clearer than before.
Wu Qiong finally understood how to complete this mission!
As time passed, the item would reveal itself along with the things lurking in the room. What he needed to do was not to search for them but to wait.
The cold wind from the window suddenly became violent, blowing away all the papers.
Revealing the cover under the manuscript, he used a small knife to draw the crooked characters.
"Come! "The end of the horror movie, heh heh …"
In the next instant, Wu Qiong felt someone blowing on his back, as though something was right behind him.
Wu Qiong closed his eyes and told himself not to be terrified. He leaned against the wall and slowly reached for the DV.
As he moved, Wu Qiong could clearly feel someone blowing on his back, it was right behind him.
"Time to finish the quest." One more minute. "
Wu Qiong was anxious, his hand continuously scratching at the DV that was slowly appearing.
"Time to finish the quest." "Still 30 seconds."
A stiff and ice-cold hand grabbed onto Wu Qiong's neck, draining the air. Wu Qiong didn't dare to open his eyes as he felt that hand was trying to strangle him to death.
"Bro, if you don't show yourself, I'm really going to be …" He had strangled her to death … "Ehh …
His right hand suddenly felt an ice-cold sensation.
Wu Qiong was already on the verge of losing consciousness.
He touched it!
