Chapter 9: Looking at an Idiot

Lin Ye, who had read numerous eerie ghost story works, could still guess the setting of the eerie hiding among them, or the plot development of everyone being eerie.

Except for himself, he couldn't believe anyone, not even Hoshino Ai.

Who knows if she had been replaced or possessed by the eerie without knowing it.

Of course, compared to this girl Hoshino Ai who had always been by his side and hadn't left his field of vision, these four men and women who had just entered and looked like people were more worthy of suspicion.

"What Eerie Game."

"I don't believe it, it must be a prank game again, Japanese TV stations are playing this kind of prank game on passersby again."

After a brief panic, the middle-aged man immediately expressed a strong questioning emotion; he grabbed the wrist of the woman with shoulder-length black hair and walked toward the exit.

"Mie, let's go."

But the woman with shoulder-length black hair stood on the spot without following at all.

"You, you wouldn't believe it, right?"

She slowly averted her gaze; compared to the middle-aged man's prank guess, she obviously believed more that this was an 'Eerie Game'.

"You, you guys, fine, very fine, I won't play with you."

The middle-aged man left a vicious sentence and stepped toward the exit; his gaze watched Lin Ye and the others, and seeing that they didn't have the slightest inclination to open their mouths to persuade him to stay, the feeling of something being wrong in his heart kept climbing, but now, things had come to this, he could only continue walking while biting the bullet.

Lin Ye just happened to see what the consequences would be if he left the hotel directly. It just so happened that he didn't need to find someone to test it.

'Tap, tap...'

The next step, he took a step out.

His whole person disappeared at the entrance.

Everyone kept silent by coincidence, waiting quietly, their gazes looking at the hotel entrance.

Time passed second by second.

The middle-aged man was like he had disappeared, and there was no movement at all.

"Is there no one left, or what happened?"

No one could answer this question.

Finally,

Someone couldn't bear it.

Yellow-haired Taisuke took a heavy step.

"I don't see anything wrong, I'll go too..."

He took a step, but the entrance gate opened automatically, and a figure suddenly rushed in.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo..."

Intense breathing sounds rang out continuously; it was the middle-aged man who had left.

At this time, he was grimacing, hugging himself with both hands, his face pale, his heavy and rapid breathing continuous, as if he had experienced some intense trauma and impact.

Yellow-haired Taisuke's movement to leave stopped abruptly, his expression froze, and the woman with shoulder-length black hair and Kuroda Hikari couldn't help but retreat away from the exit gate.

Hoshino Ai moved her steps closer to Lin Ye.

Lin Ye, on the contrary, was full of vigilance; in the process of going out and returning, is the middle-aged man who came back still the middle-aged man he knew?

The middle-aged man looked toward the exit vigilantly and frantically, as if he were being chased by something terrifying.

"Didn't, didn't follow, too, too great... outside, outside... there are things, want, want to kill me, luckily I... ran fast."

"..."

The middle-aged man said intermittently what he saw outside.

In the fog, pitch-black figures wandered, hoarse and grimacing sounds came continuously, and launched a bloodthirsty attack.

"Outside is not safe, I guess that if people who enter the hotel leave directly, they will face eerie pursuit; the correct method to leave the hotel safely and smoothly and escape the Eerie Game is to handle check-out procedures at six o'clock tomorrow morning, and then leave the hotel."

Under Lin Ye's eye reminder, Hoshino Ai took the "Check-in Rules".

"Rule 5 has a hint."

Several people immediately gathered around, and even the middle-aged man who was panting and terrified wanted to struggle to get up and read this "Check-in Rules".

"Handle check-in procedures before 22:00, the current time is 21:26, we still have half an hour."

Hoshino Ai suddenly realized that if she continued to insist on acting outside, looking for a way to leave the fog, then it was highly likely she would miss the check-in time.

When she was panicked and only wanted to escape, Lin Ye thought of the 'entry time' limit; this is too amazing.

As for the outcome of violating the rules?

Hoshino Ai shuddered; no matter what, she must not violate the rules.

Her idol career had just started, she hadn't dated, hadn't tasted more delicious food, she absolutely didn't want to die here.

"But this... is there a problem?"

Kuroda Hikari, the cute girl with chestnut twin tails, frowned slightly and pointed at Rule 3 and Rule 4.

"Rule 3 says there are no staff members, but Rule 4 says to let us ask the front desk for help; isn't this contradictory?"

"Very simple."

Lin Ye's voice attracted everyone's attention.

"First, the rules are wrong; this is also the most common situation in rule-based eerie ghost stories. I was a novel enthusiast before and have read quite a few similar works, and many of the scripts given in them have several rules that are wrong."

"For example, the point in Rule 3 that 'there are no staff members' is wrong."

At this time, the woman with shoulder-length black hair suddenly spoke.

"How do you judge what's right and wrong?"

Not knowing true or false, isn't it very easy to touch and violate?

"No method, analysis and judgment, feeling and luck."

Isn't this just gambling!

"The second is that the front desk doesn't count as being in the category of staff members, so, based on the premise that both rules are correct, there is no conflict."

Everyone could understand, but 'front desk' not belonging to the 'staff members' of the hotel doesn't conform to common sense.

But they are already in the Eerie Game, what common sense is there?

After lying down for a few minutes, the middle-aged man finally caught his breath.

He is much more honest now and doesn't have the arrogance he had at the beginning.

"Start self-introductions, have a basic understanding."

Several people introduced themselves.

The middle-aged man's name is Tanaka Ichiro, an employee of a company; the woman with shoulder-length black hair is called Kamimura Mie, a shopping guide at a mall.

They didn't say what their relationship was.

But Lin Ye guessed that these two are probably a relationship of money and flesh! As for whether it's long-term or single-day, he couldn't judge.

After the self-introductions ended,

Yellow-haired Taisuke suddenly raised his hand and suggested.

"I, I think the six of us should live in one room for the night, Rule 1 says a single room needs at least 2 people, the six of us living in one room is completely fine, and if we really encounter danger, we can look out for each other."

The most important thing is that there are many people and they are bold!

In such a dangerous and eerie place, with only two people, yellow-haired Taisuke is afraid!

Lin Ye's gaze toward Sawanaga Taisuke at this time was like looking at an idiot.
