Chapter 8: Trembling with fear

"New rules,"

One sentence immediately pulled the attention of Hoshino Ai, whose thoughts were flying, back to reality; she saw the slip of paper Lin Ye took out and immediately gathered around, not caring about the distance between the two at this moment, staring carefully at the text on the blue-backed card with her light purple eyes.

"Love Heart Love Hotel Check-in Rules 2" ===== CHAPTER 14 =====

Rule 6: After successfully checking into this hotel, please do not make loud noises and affect the rest of other guests.

Rule 7: The rooms in this hotel are very private and have good soundproofing effects; please ignore any sounds coming from other rooms.

Rule 8: For the sake of your health, it is recommended that you take a bath before resting.

Rule 9: This hotel does not prohibit visiting other rooms or acting in the corridor at night.

Rule 10: This hotel does not have twin rooms; if you enter a twin room, please leave immediately and re-handle the check-in procedure to obtain a new room card.

Friendly reminder: The adult props in this hotel are all free, please use them at will, and may happiness accompany guests to spend a wonderful night tonight.

Five more rules, involving the rules inside the room.

Lin Ye's attention was focused on the tenth rule at this time.

Hoshino Ai's face was a bit ugly.

Almost, she almost missed this important set of rules. How much impact would this have on survival?

It was very likely that she and Lin Ye would die in the love hotel because of her mistake in violating the check-in rules.

Hoshino Ai had cold sweat appearing on her back, her whole body feeling cold.

"I'm sorry, I... I was embarrassed by these adult props and didn't check carefully; it's my fault, really very sorry, but please rest assured, I won't make similar mistakes again next time."

If you do something wrong, you have to stand straight and apologize.

She was an idol, Lin Ye was her fan, but in the current 'Weird Game' full of crises, this relationship between idol and fan was too thin.

Hoshino Ai knew that if she wanted to live, she had to correct her attitude and level the relationship between herself and Lin Ye.

She believed that if she wanted to leave this 'love hotel' alive, the key lay in Lin Ye.

Lin Ye had a fleeting look of surprise; he actually thought that Hoshino Ai, an idol surrounded by everyone, would defend herself, or even say something like 'you're a man, bear with it a bit more'.

But Hoshino Ai recognized reality better than he imagined and positioned herself clearly.

He patted Hoshino Ai on the shoulder and said, "Check other places carefully; if you feel something is wrong, tell me immediately."

"I will, please rest assured."

Hoshino Ai nodded heavily to show her determination. She got up and immediately threw herself into checking other locations in the room—the wardrobe, curtains, and the adult props that were characteristic of the love hotel; she endured her shyness and nervousness and checked every place one by one.

Soon, she came to Lin Ye's side.

"No new rules or special things were found in other places."

She looked at Lin Ye's side profile and continued.

"Is there anything to pay attention to in this set of rules?"

"Sound, bathing, visiting other rooms, and twin rooms."

Lin Ye handed the rule paper to Hoshino Ai; Hoshino Ai held it and carefully studied and memorized it. The rules were related to life; no matter how much she didn't want to memorize or recite them, she forced herself to memorize the ten rules to ensure she could recall them at any time.

'Knock, knock, knock...'

'Knock, knock, knock...'

Suddenly, a knock on the door rang out.

Instantly,

Hoshino Ai looked toward the door in tension.

"Brother Lin, Brother Lin, it's me, Sawanaga Taisuke, hurry and open the door, there's an important matter, we found new check-in rules,"

Lin Ye stood up, made a reassuring gesture to the purple-black-haired girl who was pulling his clothes, and walked toward the door.

The knocking and the sound in the corridor outside could be heard, which meant that the corridor didn't belong to the scope of 'next-door room'.

Through the door, Lin Ye could feel Sawanaga Taisuke's panic and tension.

"What is your buddy's name?"

"Ah!"

Sawanaga Taisuke was stunned again.

"Itou Makoto, my buddy's name is Itou Makoto, sorry, I was too scared in the lobby just now and forgot to answer your question, Lin Ye."

It really was *School Days*!

Makoto-kun!

This really needs to send Makoto-kun to the rooftop.

Lin Ye opened the door with his right hand, and the door opened slowly.

Standing in front of the door was yellow-haired Taisuke, and behind him were the middle-aged man Tanaka Ichiro, Kuroda Hikari, and Kamimura Mie; the four had tense expressions and wandering eyes, as if they had encountered something terrifying.

"Brother Lin, this is the rule, we found it in the wardrobe, it was placed quite hidden, but the most important thing is this one,"

Yellow-haired Taisuke immediately stuffed the blue slip of paper into Lin Ye's hand.

He pointed to Rule 10.

"Rule 10 says the hotel doesn't have twin rooms, but our room is a twin room,"

The conflict between reality and the rules made the four of them filled with worry.

If they hadn't listened to Lin Ye's suggestion and searched every corner of the room, they would have violated the hotel's rules.

At this moment, they were trembling with fear.

Room 308, in their eyes at this time, was like a demon's den that could swallow all life at any time.

... ===== CHAPTER 15 =====

"I'll go see,"

Lin Ye walked straight to the adjacent Room 308 without saying a word.

Worry? Yes, but compared to worry, observing and collecting possible clues was the most important thing.

There were fifteen minutes until 22:00, in time.

Lin Ye walked into Room 308; yellow-haired Taisuke and Tanaka Ichiro and the other four looked at each other, but didn't dare to step into 308; they were now waiting patiently in the corridor outside.

The room layout wasn't much different from Room 306, but the space was larger, and the two large beds were the most conspicuous.

Each large bed was enough to accommodate three or four people to rest and sleep on.

Lin Ye turned to look at the wall and saw the clock hanging on the wall, showing the time as 21:45; he checked it against the mechanical watch on his wrist and confirmed that the time was consistent.

100, what does that mean? Is it humidity?

But the air wasn't that humid!

100% humidity? Lin Ye didn't feel the air had that level of humidity.

Lin Ye immediately started checking the room, but the things he could find were about the same as in Room 306; Room 308 had everything Room 306 had, except Room 306 had one less large bed.

Two minutes later,

Lin Ye walked out of Room 308.

"Brother Lin, any discoveries?"

Yellow-haired Taisuke asked immediately.

"No special discoveries, 308 has one more large bed, there are twelve minutes until 22:00, what are your plans."

According to Rule 10, yellow-haired Taisuke and the other four should return to the first-floor lobby to re-handle the check-in procedure, but after the weird attack in the lobby just now, the four didn't dare to go alone.

The middle-aged man signaled to the yellow-haired guy and also looked at Kuroda Hikari and Kamimura Mie; he knew well that he didn't have the qualifications to speak, and his request would only be counterproductive.

"That, Brother Lin, can you please..."

"No,"

Hoshino Ai, who had already appeared at the door, spoke up; she refused for Lin Ye with a serious expression.

"This is your business; who knows how dangerous the first-floor lobby is, I won't let my friend go down to take risks."

Hoshino Ai knew well that there wasn't much she could do, so let her be the one to help Lin Ye refuse such things!

Yellow-haired Taisuke immediately felt that he, as a fan, had no status at all!

He liked the wrong person.

"Five hundred thousand, five hundred thousand yen, you accompany us down to the lobby to handle the check-in, I'll give you five hundred thousand yen as a reward."

Tanaka Ichiro gritted his teeth and made a request. ===== CHAPTER 16 =====
