CH 176

Three days later.

Xiao Lan was ready and together with Luo, they followed the address and door number given by Wang Taidi and found the place in the player's quarters where they said they would be -

Love Love Hotel.

The place is still full of ambiguous hormones, and the comings and goings are still full of all kinds of browbeaten men, women, men and women ...... and players who can't tell whether they are men or women.

It is as if nothing in the world could change it.

Xiao Lan & Luo: "......"

When did Wang Taidi get into the habit of meeting people here?

Isn't it strange to have three people in one room?

Xiao Lan walked up to the reception desk and gave her room number.

The receptionist is the same sexy, hot female player from before who still has some impression of Xiao Lan and is sweeping her hot and ambiguous eyes at them.

But after hearing the room number, her eyes went odd, "You're going to 666?"

Xiao Lan was unsure: "Right."

The receptionist said, "Are you ...... three people again? Or is it one of those rooms ......"

Xiao Lan: "......"

She seemed to have misunderstood something, but ...... couldn't explain to her why there were three of them every time they came to the Love Love Hotel.

The last Wu Ting was at least a lady's man, but this time it's a bit more exciting, with three men.

And he also cares what kind of room "that kind of room" is ......

Not knowing how to explain it, Xiao Lan could only smile and nod stiffly, "Yes."

Sister Xiao at the reception desk looks as if she is looking at some kind of pervert.

Her eyes were shocked with regret, regret with the complex emotion of how this world is so magical: "17th floor ...... innermost ......"

As the two walked away, with the hearing of an advanced player she could still be heard muttering, "I'm so stupid, really, I've seen so many men, how come I still can't see through them ...... Do all men nowadays like ...... "

--

When he arrived at the door of 666, Xiao Lan knocked apprehensively, fearing that he might see something magical.

As it turned out, the reality was more magical than the imagination.

Because the person who opened the door was Qi Ning.

Qi Ning himself is not magical, it is the background behind him that is magical.

It is a girly room in pastel shades, full of lace and floral.

There are intricate and elaborate decorations everywhere, and several Luo Rita-style dresses hanging everywhere, and the scent of strawberries in the air, as if you can hear the sweet laughter of young girls.

In this girly, pink room stands a dark, gloomy, Qi Ning who looks like he's been on the wrong set.

A sweet smell of strawberries was wafting over with the movement of his door.

Qi Ning is forced to look cute.

Xiao Lan feels that she is still too young.

He had the feeling that his own old man had come to life and backhanded himself into a face of illusion.

Or maybe it was the image of eating ten pounds of wild mushrooms raw, getting poisoned and then seeing them on the way to the emergency hospital.

No wonder the female player at the front desk had that look on her face.

Three, no, after a while it might be four grown men, in a hotel room with a girly style.

I wonder what she'll brainstorm for a multiplayer campaign ......

Forget it, it's better not to know.

Qi Ning's face is still covered with a mask, which perfectly conceals his expression at the moment.

He looked calm as he nodded to both Xiao Lan, "Come in."

Xiao Lan also reluctantly composed herself and walked into this pink paradise pretending that nothing had happened.

It's just pink, what's there to be afraid of, all men love pink.

Xiao Lan and Luo are seated on a lace-covered pink sofa.

Opposite is Qi Ning, also surrounded by lace.

There was an air of awkwardness in the air as none of the three spoke, and Xiao Lan even began to envy the mask on Qi Ning's face.

After a few moments, Xiao Lan broke the silence by speaking up, "So ...... why are you here?"

Qi Ning's tone is calm: " Wang Taidi came to me with a commission and I was satisfied with the remuneration he offered."

Xiao Lan raised his eyebrows, "Payment? That's not like you."

Qi Ning spoke with a smile, "What kind of style do I look like to you."

Xiao Lan thought for a moment, "The kind that focuses on pursuing its own goals and doesn't give a damn about anything mundane, I guess."

It should be difficult for Qi Ning to be tempted or even willing to take the risk for something as simple as remuneration.

Qi Ning says: "Thank you, you can take it as a compliment that I'm interested in how the Wang family brothers will end up. As I said, they're really special and I'm not the only one who's looking forward to how they'll end up."

This guy is probably a real departure from the lowlife, and is out of step with the usual players at either point.

At that moment, the door was opened again.

This time it was Wang Taidi who came in.

Xiao Lan had only seen his face in previous contacts and noticed that he had grown considerably taller.

It's been almost two years since we first met, and teenagers can grow and develop so quickly.

Xiao Lan remembers that the Wang family brothers' father is actually quite tall, but Mother Wang is smaller.

Now, Wang Ke's 10cm booster pads are useless.

Wang Taidi greeted the group, "Sorry, I didn't think I'd be the last to arrive..."

Before the words were out of his mouth, he was jolted by the room that smelled like a fierce man.

There is a slight hesitation in entering the door.

Wang Taidi surveyed the room with awe in his eyes.

He hesitated or sat down on the sofa: "When I booked it I said I wanted a room that was the most relaxing, I didn't, I didn't expect ...... it to be so relaxing ...... the sofa is still quite soft haha ......"

Xiao Lan, Luo, Qi Ning: "......"

Is this guy really reliable?

Thus, four fierce men, sitting in a room covered in pink and lace, accompanied by the sweet scent of strawberries, began their serious party in earnest.

When confronted by Xiao Lan and the others, Wang Taidi looks more like the teenager he used to be.

But in the end, something is different.

The determination in his eyes and the honed air in his body were no longer as they had been in the past.

Wang Taidi spoke to them about Sara's Song: "There were four people who entered Sara's Song with my brother, two of whom betrayed, but Brother Tao managed to escape. He was in a bad state though and his mental state was greatly affected."

" Brother Tao was incoherent and very irritable, even self-harming on several occasions, and could barely communicate with people."

"Four months ago, he broke away from his guards, cut off both his legs and his left hand and committed suicide."

"What I am about to tell you has been compiled from his words, but because of his mental state, there is no guarantee of accuracy."

Xiao Lan nods to him and listens quietly.

"Firstly, like the name of Sara's song, there is a song that can be heard throughout the playground, a song that gradually affects one's sanity the more injured one is, and it is this that restrains my brother's skills."

"Secondly, a playground like Sara's Song will not be reset and players who previously entered it will remain in it and they may become an uncertain danger."

"Thirdly, Brother Tao mentioned that he was able to get out of the game because he found a prop called [Stone of Forgiveness] at an altar, which we can also try to find."

"Fourth." Wang Taidi took a deep breath, "The contracted advancement copies are really dangerous, you can leave now, no need to be impetuous."

Having said that, he sat down in his original position and did not look up at the others.

He was giving his friends one last chance to reject him, and if someone got up and walked away at that point, he would never stop them.

But several other people had no intention of leaving.

Qi Ning said, "I won't go back on my promise since I agreed to your commission."

Xiao Lan said, "We had an appointment a long time ago, didn't we?"

Luo didn't say anything, he was always the "Mr. Right about the Earth being a spiral" type when it came to other players.

Wang Taidi rubbed his face and adjusted his expression, "Thank you."

He didn't say any long words of thanks, understanding that the few people opposite didn't need that kind of superficiality.

It is important to remember the kindness and to find ways to help each other when the time comes.

He took out from the prop space several old newspaper-like props, which contained a rumour about the town of Mo Na.

The news was written in a creepy way, and it looked like the kind of third-rate tabloid that is good at making up stories.

Wang Taidi says, "This is the prop that goes into Sara's song."

The other three took the papers, activated them and entered the game together.

--

When the darkness recedes, Xiao Lan feels like she is driving.

It's really driving.

At the moment, he is speeding down a forest path in an off-road at a very high speed.

The bumpy roads in the woods combined with the wild driving made his vision full of wobbly images.

The buggy also occasionally dashes down the path to skirt the woods, with the harsh noise of countless branches brushing against the bodywork.

If we continue like this, we will be finished sooner or later.

Xiao Lan tried to stop the car by slamming on the brakes first, only to find that his body was temporarily out of his control.

His body automatically rampaged through the woods with a drifting technique that could be considered rubbish, in the manner of a crash and pull, better in another life.

Finally, not long after, the car lived up to its name by slamming into a large tree.

After a loud "bang", the off-road, which had been going wildly, finally stopped, pinned against a tree and stopped its unruly, free-spirited steps.

Xiao Lan thought that the fatal journey was almost over.

He tried to brace himself to get out of the car to have a look.

Instead, he found that his eyes began to blacken and he looked as if he was about to faint.

You know, as a melee type player who can kill a bull with one punch, he is already a little monster on earth.

Even if you hit your head directly on a steel plate, it is mostly the steel plate side that is in trouble.

It is both illogical and unreasonable that a mere car accident could put him in a coma.

But, the world of gaming has never been one to reason with you.

Xiao Lan struggles to hold his eyelids together, trying to stay conscious, but his vision fades to black.

Little by little, the mind also moves away and eventually returns to a blur.

This is the legendary plot kill.

No matter how much of a bully you were originally, when the plot wants you to pass out, you'll have to woop down.

I don't know how much longer.

Xiao Lan woke up from his coma and had just regained consciousness when he smelled the smell of roasting meat.

Or the kind of fruit and wood roast you used to have.

Still a little hungry to say the least ......

Xiao Lan struggled to open her eyes, but all she saw was a fiery red.

By now it was dark and the surrounding forest was ablaze with fires, searing tongues of flames scorching the buggy and heating it up as if it were an oven.

The smell of roast meat probably comes from animals that have been inadvertently burnt to death.

If Xiao Lan had been slower to wake up, he would have had the chance to join the warm family that smells of roast meat.

Xiao Lan hurriedly got up from the driver's seat.

By this time, his body was completely under his control and thankfully no parts were missing.

A quick check of his surroundings revealed nothing that came with this identity other than a notebook.

Xiao Lan strapped on his notebook and stormed out of the SUV.

Shortly after he ran out, a loud bang came from where the buggy had originally been.

Apparently the buggy had exploded, adding to the forest fire that had come from nowhere, leaving it to carry its own sultry soul on fire.

Not bad for the most difficult copy of the deed, so fierce is the opening.

Xiao Lan struggles to find his way through the blaze and begins his escape from the fire.
