Chapter 29: Who is

【Today is the first day of the performance, and I don't have any lines. Just messing around】

"This guy really is a foreigner..." Ding Mo sighed.

Looking further down, it was all written in English as well.

This was going to be difficult.

Ding Mo was already a junior in college; his English ability had long since deteriorated compared to when he was in high school. Asking him to translate was truly making things hard for him.

Consequently, Ding Mo called over Dong Xiaoyu, wanting to let her give it a try.

"No problem, leave it to me." Unexpectedly, Dong Xiaoyu's English level was surprisingly good.

Ding Mo did not know that Dong Xiaoyu was actually an English major; for her, the CET-4 and CET-6 exams were just the basics, and her future goals were advanced examinations like the TOEFL and IELTS.

After this, she still had to take the postgraduate entrance exam and study abroad. Therefore, her own English level was not just generally high.

The meaning of the first paragraph is:

【Today is the first day of the performance, I don't have any lines, just messing around...】

So he was just messing around... Ding Mo turned to the next page.

Dong Xiaoyu, seeing the surprised look in Ding Mo's eyes, felt a sense of satisfaction welling up inside her.

To tell the truth, she usually used foreign academic journals and research papers as translation practice material—the kind of stuff filled with technical terms.

Something like this "diary" was naturally a piece of cake.

"What's wrong? Keep translating." Seeing her looking at him with a smile in her eyes, Ding Mo couldn't help but urge her curiously.

What was this girl thinking about?

"Uh! O-okay..." Dong Xiaoyu came back to her senses and realized that she did indeed seem a bit strange.

In the past, many classmates praised her English as being excellent, but she never felt much about it, only thinking about continuing her studies to finish her academic goals quickly. But why this time...

Dong Xiaoyu didn't have time to think too much and earnestly threw herself into the translation work.

The content on the Record Book gradually revealed itself in its entirety:

【The second day after arriving here, oh, God! Terrible, their performance failed. The Task for that machine is not that simple】

【The third day, they failed again... No, I cannot continue to wait, I cannot pin my hopes on them anymore. I must take the initiative to do something, to find some clues】

【What is the date today? I cannot remember clearly, my biological clock is in chaos from days and nights being flipped. In short, their performance failed again.

But today I went to the Lengcang Shi and the Canting.

God, merciful Goddess, I must never go to that Canting again! I was almost dragged into that Dwarf hole!

No, the area around it should also be marked as a restricted zone!

As for the Lengcang Shi, its door is locked, but it seems to be damaged. I will go over this afternoon to see if I can pry it open.】

"The Canting really is strange..." As Ding Mo read on, he gradually gained a certain understanding of this York.

This was a person with strong initiative and a proactive nature.

He seemed to usually act during the day, but now it was late at night and he hadn't returned, nor had he participated in the performance. I'm afraid...

Ding Mo continued to turn the pages, and Dong Xiaoyu continued to translate from the side:

【This time, I still did not pry open the Lengcang Shi. After failing, I went to the Dixiabu Fen of the Hotel.

There is a Chuyoushi, a Chaiyou Fadianji, and a Xiaofang Kongzhishi there. It is a pity there was nothing useful. Among them, there was also a strange room with the door plate 4007; the door was locked tight, and I could not peek inside.

But fortunately, I obtained some tools from the Xiaofang Kongzhishi. This time I will definitely be able to pry open the Lengcang Shi. Besides Hao Fang 4007, it is the most mysterious. I suspect there must be something inside.

On the way back, I saw some costumes being dragged by something unknown in the corners, but the "Threshold" did not drop. I decided to check the situation again tomorrow.】

【Oh God, their performance finally succeeded! I have lines in the Second Act too, although this might not be a good thing...

I still decided to go to the Lengcang Shi before the night performance. The Prop Team obviously won't provide food, and I don't have much food left. If the Canting can... (crossed out)

God, wish me luck】

Ding Mo turned another page, but found a large blank space.

The diary stopped abruptly, and there was no more content afterward. It seemed that after York went to the "Lengcang Shi" during the day, he never returned.

What exactly was in the Lengcang Shi?

"Ding Mo," at this moment, Dong Xiaoyu handed over a piece of paper:

"I just found this at the head of the bed; I hadn't had time to tell you yet."

Ding Mo opened it and saw that it was a map, which likely depicted the general overall structure of the Hotel.

—Including the Lengcang Shi, the Canting, and the Dixiabu Fen, as well as that Hao Fang 4007, all were marked on it.

Great! Ding Mo felt a surge of joy in his heart.

This would be beneficial for their activities in the Hotel!

This trip had finally yielded some gains.

However...

Looking at the "Lengcang Shi" marked on the crude map, Ding Mo couldn't help but ponder.

Was it necessary to go and explore this place?

…………………………………………

On the other side, compared to the comfort on Ding Mo's end, Leng Rourou's situation was miserable.

"Over here! You guys go over there. Don't be hasty when you see someone; call people over before you make a move!" Lu Zhenhao's voice came from not far away.

At the end of the corridor, in a small rest corner that had been cleared out,

Leng Rourou was struggling to gather her skirt, huddled under the tablecloth behind this screen.

She was filled with anxiety.

That bastard Ding Mo! It was all his fault that she had ended up in such a predicament!

If she died here, then she would Curse him to be killed by this gang of Dwarf as well!

But no matter how she cursed, she could not change the current situation in the slightest—two sets of footsteps were approaching this place.

The Cognitive Pollution effect of "Mommy" was too weak; it could only catch people off guard, and once others were on guard, it would be difficult to make it effective again.

A few minutes later, just as Leng Rourou had no other options and was preparing for a desperate fight, a shout suddenly came from the other side!

"Hey! We found her, you guys hurry over!"

The two sets of footsteps immediately hurried away, leaving only the stunned Leng Rourou still crouching in place.

W-what?! Leng Rourou crawled out from under the tablecloth, looking at the direction they left in with both shock and fear.

She was clearly right here, so who was the "her" over there!?

Just as a certain answer popped into her mind, a strange, nursery-rhyme-like tune faintly drifted over!

It was exactly the same BGM as last time, when Zhu Jie was killed!

Lu Zhenhao and the others,

were following the "Leng Rourou" who was jogging in the distance, neither too fast nor too slow.

It wasn't until the other two people behind caught up and the four of them gathered that they started sprinting to give chase.

At this moment, "Leng Rourou" turned the corner, and one could faintly see her glancing back at the four of them, as if she were afraid of them catching up.

Her figure disappeared around the corner.

Just then, a burst of music played! Lu Zhenhao's footsteps faltered as he heard it.

This music meant... the "Substitute Actor" had appeared!

"Boss!" At this moment, the Horse-faced man suddenly called out, and Lu Zhenhao looked back, just in time to see Leng Rourou trying to sneak away.

Seeing their gazes turn toward her, that "Leng Rourou" was startled and hurriedly fled with large strides.

"This..." The three subordinates looked at each other in dismay.

In front or behind, who exactly was the real "Leng Rourou"?!

Lu Zhenhao's expression also darkened.

The "Substitute Actor" had actually appeared in this way!
