Mr. Xu smoked one cigarette after another, and soon several cigarette butts fell to the ground. The unextinguished flames burned small yellow and black holes in the expensive carpet.
The followers and bodyguards soon came out.
Good news, Mo Qing's room was found.
The bad news is that the room was locked and no useful clues were found in other rooms. They were just ordinary guest rooms.
"How did he lock it?" Mr. Xu frowned. "How could he lock the door without the room key?"
"I don't know, but the door won't open."
"Tsk, he's lucky. Let's continue looking upstairs."
The third floor is the room of Yuqian, Xiaobai, Yu Chong, Lao Wu and the male student.
Their bedrooms were not locked, but each door was decorated with a small arrangement. For example, in Yuqian's room, a hair was stuck in the lock of the door, which would fall off when the door was opened. When she came back, she would know that someone had entered her room.
The same operation was performed on Xiaobai's room.
Yu Chong didn't have hair that long, but he found a thin layer of fine sand from somewhere and spread it at the door, so that anyone who entered would leave a trace.
Even Old Wu and the young male student took certain precautions.
If the bodyguards had not noticed a piece of hair sticking out from the gap and some fine sand scattered on the blanket, they would probably have pushed the door open and walked in.
"What should we do now? These people are on guard."
The plan failed. Mr. Xu scratched his hair in annoyance. "What are you afraid of? Even if they take it away directly, what will happen? Do they dare to confront us head-on? Don't forget, I bought weapons with relatively high lethality."
A bodyguard was relatively rational and advised, "Master, I think it's best not to do this. The other players have basically chosen knives and other self-defense weapons. If we go in, we'll leave traces that are obviously human. And we're the only team in the main building. If we arouse public outrage and unite them, it would be disadvantageous."
"Then what do you say we should do? This manor doesn't care about anything. What if I don't get out in five or ten days? Do you want me to starve to death?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a gasp behind him.
Looking back, they saw the boy who had run away earlier standing at the stairs with his backpack, looking at them with confusion and fear.
Mr. Xu suddenly remembered that this man had bought three boxes of food and a box of water in a shop in the small town.
He rolled his eyes and waved to the male student, "You, come here."
"What's the matter..." The other party took two cautious steps forward, not daring to get any closer.
"I remember you bought a lot of food, right? How about giving me some? I'll give you a lot of money when we get out." Mr. Xu raised his chin proudly, his tone almost condescending. "You don't look like you come from a wealthy family. The money I give you is enough for an ordinary person like you to have no worries about food and clothing for several years."
He hadn't considered the possibility that his offer of such good conditions would be rejected.
But maybe it was bad luck today, but after the boy digested these words, he shook his head like a rattle.
"You don't agree?" Mr. Xu almost laughed out loud, looking him up and down. "Are you sure?"
"I, I don't even have enough to eat..."
Others also spoke up at this time, some threatened and some spoke in a gentle tone, but they all tried to persuade him to share the food with Mr. Xu.
"What do you mean by not having enough food? Can you eat three boxes of food with your small body?"
"Don't be ungrateful. Mr. Xu's offer is good enough. You can't even give away the food you give away outside, okay?"
"We are all in the same boat. It would be great if we could help each other. If you get out later, Mr. Xu will definitely not treat you unfairly. Just be sensible."
"While we are still discussing this with you, you'd better be sensible. Otherwise, if we push you too hard, there's no telling what you'll do."
"Yes, I heard that you're a newbie entering a dungeon for the first time. You might not know that in the dungeon world, any behavior has nothing to do with the real world..."
Mr. Xu took a few steps toward the male student and exerted a lifetime of oppression. "I think you don't want to die before you even see anything strange, right?"
"You, you didn't buy food yourself. Now you regret it, why do you come to snatch it from me? I won't give it to you!" The male student hugged his schoolbag tightly in his arms, watched him getting closer and closer, and turned around and ran away.
The little follower originally planned to chase after the boy, but when they reached the stairs, the boy had already disappeared.
It's good to be young.
Mr. Xu's face was so dark that ink was about to drip out. "You little brat, remember this: you won't get out of this dungeon alive!"
[This person...it's hard for me to judge.]
[That kid is so unlucky. He came back at such a bad time.]
[He only knows how to take advantage of those who are easy to bully and show off his power as a young master. Why doesn't he act in front of Yu Chong?]
[Just kidding, Yu Chong has that muscular body. If this pretentious guy dares to steal supplies, he'll be beaten into a folding screen in the next second.]
[I'm dying of laughter at the folding screen, hahahaha. Pretender couldn't even win against that ugly guy in the red hat, and you still expect him to cause trouble for Yu Chong?]
[But why are there so many newbies entering dungeons these days? I've seen quite a few in the past few times.]
[It's not surprising. The dungeon has only been open for a little over a year now, and there are so many people around the world. Plus, sometimes the dungeons are low-level and don't require many players. It's normal for some people to be lucky and never get a chance.]
[Yeah, I haven't even entered a dungeon yet. I've been watching live streams every day, and my computer is about to wear out.]
[Never entered +1]
[Ah, I really envy those kids who don't have to enter dungeons. If only I could regain my youth.]
[It's only a matter of time. They can only survive until they are eighteen at best.]
This is something that most people have known since the dungeon was opened.
Although it is reasonable to say that no age limit is more beneficial to the weirdness, because babies who can't even take care of themselves are simply killed for nothing if they enter the dungeon. Even if they are unlikely to violate the killing rules, they also don't have the ability to leave the dungeon. They can be killed when the game ends and the weirdness lifts the restrictions.
And rumors say that children are full of energy and delicious.
But the truth is…
The monsters think that children are not even enough to fill their teeth. More importantly, they not only eat people, but also need human fear!
A baby who knows nothing has any fear... The cost-effectiveness is too low!
Besides, if all the children were eaten, young men and women would also die. Wouldn't that lead to the extinction of the human race?
Who will provide them with flesh, blood and fear in the future?
Doesn't that mean that weirdness will eventually become extinct?
Therefore, the weirdos unanimously reached a consensus that humans under the age of eighteen and pregnant women do not need to enter the copy. In this way, humans will continue to have children to continue the race, and will not think that "the child may not live for many days after birth, so it is better not to have children."
Of course, there are also some weird creatures that prefer to eat children, and always find ways to sneak into the real world in advance to cause trouble.
This is the kind of weirdness that the Ghost Hunting Bureau often catches.
