Chapter 11: This Is Too Fast [5th Update]

Resurrection, respawn?

Several guesses surfaced in Lin Ye’s mind.

Hoshino Ai looked at the woman who had been screaming a moment ago and had now reappeared, and her heart couldn't stop panicking even more.

The temperature in the lobby on this floor had dropped even lower, making her unable to stop shivering.

But she knew she had to restrain herself, she had to be calm.

"Phew..."

Hoshino Ai remembered the pressure she faced during her first time on stage, and the sadness and bitterness that surfaced after her concert failed.

The fear was suppressed.

Lin Ye stopped walking and turned to look. At this moment, the female staff member smiled, bowed slightly, and continued to speak,

"Guest, may I ask what your needs are? What service can I provide for you?"

In an instant,

Time stagnated once again.

*Riiip!*

Just as before, Lin Ye checked the female staff member again.

There was no difference from a normal human body.

He couldn't find a single trace of anything supernatural.

In other words...

Lin Ye confirmed one of his guesses.

Time Stop ended,

The female staff member discovered her clothes were disheveled, and her brain seemed unable to process it,

"Guest, you are too impatient. If you have needs, Mayu can..."

Lin Ye didn't wait for her to finish; he directly used his Time Stop ability to kick the female staff member outside the lobby entrance again.

"Ahhh..."

Another scream.

The female staff member disappeared.

But in less than five seconds,

The exact same woman appeared at the lobby front desk again. She saw Lin Ye and began asking him just as she had before.

This time, Lin Ye ignored her and returned to take Hoshino Ai’s hand, entering the elevator.

Huang Mao Taisuke and the middle-aged man, who were initially in the elevator, hadn't seen anything, but the two painful screams that rang out and the familiar "inquiry" made them feel nothing but fear from the depths of their souls.

They didn't want to face it at all,

But why was this man, Lin Ye, acting like nothing had happened, without any reaction at all!

Finally, the moment the elevator doors closed,

Huang Mao caught a glimpse and locked eyes with the staff member who had appeared in front of the elevator. His heart froze instantly, and he instinctively felt a huge crisis.

He was being watched; he was being watched!

Cold sweat poured down Huang Mao.

They reached the third floor quickly,

Huang Mao and the middle-aged man fled the elevator entrance one after the other.

Kuroda Hikari and Kamimura Mie, who were waiting on the third floor, breathed a slight sigh of relief when they saw the group finally return, but the two noticed the pale faces of Huang Mao Taisuke and the middle-aged man and immediately realized what had happened downstairs,

"You guys go open the doors first to check the room situation. If it’s still a twin room, we’ll need to go back downstairs to check in."

A single sentence made both of them tremble.

Huang Mao and Tanaka Ichiro immediately used their key cards to open rooms 304 and 307, and both of them turned on the lights and rushed in to inspect the rooms.

"A double room,"

"Mine is a double room too."

Both of them collapsed onto the floor one after another.

"We don't have to face that monster anymore, thank goodness,"

Huang Mao Taisuke let out a long breath.

If he had to go to the first floor again, he really wouldn't dare!

Lin Ye walked into room 304. The room layout was the same as 306, with no difference in soft or hard furnishings. He quickly inspected the room, checking the nightstand and the wardrobe, though the note for Rule 2 had been found in the bathroom. ===== CHAPTER 22 =====

And 307 was the same.

The three rooms didn't differ much; they all had televisions, clocks, lubricant, and other adult products.

"Tonight, why don't the four of us... just use one room!"

Huang Mao Taisuke said immediately,

"No, don't,"

Tanaka Ichiro said immediately,

"I’ve decided to listen to Brother Lin’s suggestion. Two people to a room. Mie and I will just take one room,"

"I’ll take a room with you,"

"No, don't..."

Tanaka Ichiro absolutely did not want to share a room with Huang Mao.

"Mie, come to a room with me,"

Kamimura Mie, with her black shoulder-length hair, realized something—what had happened on the first floor that made Tanaka Ichiro absolutely refuse to share a room with Huang Mao Taisuke.

"Okay,"

As the words fell,

Tanaka Ichiro and Kamimura Mie entered room 304, and with a *bang*, the door closed.

"Then, then... I’ll share a room with Sawanaga-kun."

Kuroda Hikari said with slight hesitation.

"Thank you, Kuroda-san. If danger really appears, I will protect you."

After making the promise, he expressed his gratitude to Lin Ye,

"Brother Lin, if it weren't for you, I would have died downstairs. I will never forget this favor. As for my promise to you, I... I will definitely fulfill it,"

After saying this, he returned to room 307.

Kuroda Hikari bowed slightly to signal her return before gently closing the door.

Lin Ye and Hoshino Ai also returned to room 306.

"Lin Ye-kun,"

"What is it?"

"Kuroda-san is quite cute."

Although Lin Ye had never been in love, he had read so many novels and watched so many anime and film works that he naturally understood what Hoshino Ai meant.

"She is quite cute,"

Hoshino Ai lowered her head slightly,

"But she doesn't compare to you, Hoshino."

A hint of joy appeared.

"You go take a shower first!"

"Ah!"

Hoshino Ai was astonished.

This is... too fast!

…… ===== CHAPTER 23 =====

Thirsty and impatient?

Thinking back to the scene in the first-floor lobby where Lin Ye was taking off the supernatural female staff member’s clothes and tearing her stockings, Hoshino Ai could accept it if she thought about it carefully.

In this supernatural and dangerous hotel, even though Lin Ye was in a good state and very calm, the pressure must be immense!

The superpower of Time Stop was very strong, but it couldn't directly resolve the current crisis or clear the game to leave the hotel.

Hoshino Ai blushed, feeling a bit awkward; her hands were unconsciously pulling at the hem of her clothes, and her bright eyes were wandering shyly.

"This... Lin Ye-kun, isn't it... a bit too fast?"

Finally,

She said it out loud.

This hotel was too dangerous, not suitable for doing this kind of thing, and she was an inexperienced girl. As an idol, she looked forward to a pure romance,

What she longed for was to date and play with the boyfriend she loved, and then enjoy a beautiful night at the end, not to jump directly to the final step like this.

"Fast?"

Lin Ye saw Hoshino Ai’s reaction and immediately understood what the girl was thinking.

"I’m actually worried it’s too slow! You hurry up and wash, then I’ll wash. Although Rule 8 doesn't limit the specific shower time, I think it’s more appropriate to finish showering before 10:00 PM."

The time points in the rules often hinted at something.

After 10:00 PM, it was highly likely that this hotel would undergo a drastic change.

Hoshino Ai understood immediately after hearing this. She didn't know where to put her hands, and her heart was filled with embarrassment—she had misunderstood!

"Yes, yes, I understand, I’ll go right away,"

But just as Hoshino Ai turned around, Lin Ye’s voice came again,

"Hoshino, were you letting your imagination run wild just now, wanting something to happen between us?"

The faint, teasing smile made a crimson flush appear on Hoshino Ai’s fair face.

"It’s not... I wasn't letting my imagination run wild." But Hoshino Ai, who had run into the bathroom, clenched her fists and stomped her feet to soothe the turbulent emotions in her heart.

Soon,

Hoshino Ai pressed a few switches, the heater in the bathroom began to work, and water flowed out with a *whoosh*.

She slowly took off her clothes and placed them one by one on the vanity.

Too many things had happened tonight.

When the warm water wet her black-purple long hair, Hoshino Ai briefly experienced a moment of relaxation.

Showering and bathing were necessary rest and relaxation rituals for her after practice and concerts.

But this time, she wouldn't be taking a bath.

"Phew..."

Only,

Why did it feel like someone was watching her?

Hoshino Ai subconsciously looked toward the other side. In an instant, she froze.

The frosted glass wall that should have been opaque had become transparent.

And through the glass, she clearly saw Lin Ye sitting on the bed resting, and Lin Ye’s gaze was fixed on her side; their eyes met.

*Wooo...*

Hoshino Ai immediately covered herself with her hands, and the flush that had just faded filled her face again.

Why, why... would this happen? Why did the bathroom glass suddenly become transparent!

Lin Ye nodded at this moment and withdrew his gaze.

Not bad, the scene of a beautiful idol showering was indeed not bad.

Faced with accidentally seeing a beautiful sight, he wouldn't refuse.

Since he had already come to this two-dimensional world,

If there were benefits, he would take them.

The benefit Hoshino Ai was currently providing could be considered a return for the help he had provided her at the "Love Hotel."

Thinking this way, Lin Ye had been watching directly, but now that Hoshino Ai had discovered him, he naturally wasn't shameless enough to continue watching.

*Click...*

As Hoshino Ai came to her senses and turned off the switch, the transparent glass turned back into a gray, frosted, opaque state.

However, Hoshino Ai’s shame did not diminish.

"What should I do? I’ve been seen completely, woooo."

The hand of the clock finally reached 10:00 PM.

The hotel’s main lights flickered a few times and immediately went out, leaving only a few mood lights working to provide light for the room.

The bathroom light didn't change, but the *whoosh* of the flowing water suddenly stopped.

When Hoshino Ai looked over in confusion, with a few *clacks*, the water came back on again. ===== CHAPTER 24 =====
