Chapter 422
"She said, 'Where is the guest who was walking with you?'"
Lin Ye first thought it was the career woman Lin Lin, but when he went downstairs, he found the career woman was also at the scene. According to the position where the blonde young lady was standing, she was able to observe the five of them, so...
"She... knows about the high school student."
Asuna said slowly.
"The maid lied." Leng Shuang spoke up.
"There is another possibility..."
Lin Ye smiled.
The one with the problem is not the maid, but that blonde young lady.
Night fell,
the time pointer turned to 22:00,
and at this time,
the corridor was silent, and a figure was standing there.
It was Lin Ye.
He had not entered the bedroom before 22:00.
At the moment the time arrived,
Lin Ye, who was in the corridor, clearly felt the change in the aura. The air was filled with a depressing aura, and even breathing was somewhat affected.
He used his perspective skill and determined that the walls and doors could no longer be seen through, covered by a thin layer of black mist, so he took out the key to guest room 204 and inserted it into the door lock.
'Crack...'
The bedroom door opened.
He saw Asuna, who was holding a rapier and on guard at the door.
"The key can open it."
He did this to test whether the door key could successfully open the bedroom door after 22:00.
Why the eerie did not enter the bedroom last night was definitely not because 'the door was in a state that could only be opened from the inside'.
The door closed.
Lin Ye, after gifting each of the other three players a piece of chewing gum, even made an agreement with them that if the door key could open it after 22:00, he would not knock on their respective bedroom doors three times.
If the key could not be used to open the door and enter after 22:00, he would knock on the door three times to remind them of this information.
"Next..."
Lin Ye pointed to the cabinet, "Let's block it first!"
With the eerie's placement experience from last night, they could also use more measures.
Yesterday, they did not choose to use the cabinet to block the door, considering that it would affect the escape of the people in the room.
And with yesterday's experience, they decisively chose to block the door.
Leng Shuang even suggested that not only could they block the door, but they could also tie up people's hands and feet.
And this suggestion, naturally, no one accepted.
The risk was too high; even the ability to act was lost. Once facing the eerie, they would not even have the strength to resist.
A few minutes later,
Lin Ye and Asuna were lying on the bed.
Asuna lay on her side and looked at Lin Ye, "If I go to open the door uncontrollably, no matter what method you use, you must stop me."
"I will, and you do the same, you must stop me,"
"Hmm."
However, Asuna did not think Lin Ye would be bewitched.
The room returned to silence, and only the bright moon outside the window brought cold light.
Time passed second by second,
in three rooms, five players all remained awake, waiting for the eerie to come to the door.
It was just that it was already past midnight, but there was still no sound from outside the door.
Could it be that the eerie is not coming tonight?
Lin Ye wrote words on the girl's palm, telling the girl to sleep first.
Asuna said "Hmm" and closed her eyes; she would come to take the shift later.
'Tap...'
'Tap...'
Footsteps suddenly sounded.
Lin Ye was instead relieved.
The chewing gum was already prepared.
He wanted to see how much 'influence' the eerie could have today.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
"Knock, knock, knock..."
"Brother Zero, it's me, Ueno!"
Not the maid, but the high school student?
"Open the door!"
"Brother Zero, Miss Asuna is by your side, right!"
"Open the door quickly, if you don't open the door, I, I'm coming in."
'Click...'
That was the sound of the room key being inserted into the door lock.
Lin Ye grabbed Asuna with a start, and regardless of whether the girl was awake or not, he immediately pulled the girl to the bedroom door, firmly pressed against the cabinet, and relied on the weight of the cabinet and his own strength to press against the bedroom door with all his might.
To prevent the door from opening.
"The eerie's way of entering has changed."
And Asuna had already woken up. The short-term confusion was quickly replaced by fright. She immediately helped Lin Ye block the door, and on the other side, she even took out her rapier and slashed down at the black, rotting body that was drilling in through the gap formed during the collision.
"Let me in..."
"Brother Zero, I miss you so much!"
"Asuna, so beautiful!"
"Be a maid, come be a maid..."
"Knock, knock..."
"Boom..."
Both sides were in a stalemate, and the sound of collision sounded continuously.
Finally,
this stalemate lasted for about ten minutes.
The eerie outside the door retreated, giving up on guest room 204 as an intrusion target.
But Lin Ye and Asuna did not dare to relax at all.
Taking advantage of the collision sound from next door, the two moved the bed over to block the door.
As for Passerby in guest room 203 next door,
Lin Ye indicated that all he could do was silently offer a blessing.
"Hope he's okay."
As soon as Asuna heard this, she only felt that Lin Ye's words seemed to indicate a complete prayer, with a kind of inexplicable ironic emotion.
And in guest room 203,
Passerby was about to cry.
The movement from next door made him guess the change in the eerie's intrusion method tonight.
