Chapter 111 111#

*Du ling ling—*

The fixed-line telephone in the corridor rang. The long, narrow screen glowed with an orange light, and the grid displayed the incoming call number.

111#

Mule, who was using his equipment to peer outside, suddenly had his pupils constrict.

The calling number 111# meant that the call came from the fixed-line telephone outside the elevator lobby to the left of the eleventh-floor corridor.

How was this possible?

Dan Fei, who lived on the eleventh floor, had already died on the second night after the players arrived at the hotel.

The Eye-Concealing Ghoul on the twelfth floor and Kaffi on the tenth floor had also perished long ago.

Who was making the call?

Even if the players living on the left side of the corridor encountered abnormal situations and wanted to call for support,

They should call from the floor where people were already living.

There was absolutely no need to go to the eleventh floor, where someone had died, to make a call, right?

Or was the caller not a player, but something else...?

Mule's mind raced. Li Ang, next to him, thought for a moment, tossed the glass bottle containing the mud eyeball to Liu Wudai, then pushed off the ground with his toes, and dashed out the door,

Answering the phone while entering the elevator lobby blocked by heavy objects.

"Hello?"

As soon as he spoke, a frightened male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I'm 13mArk, and I'm now at the elevator lobby entrance on the left side of the eleventh floor."

The male voice was deliberately lowered and softened, like a whisper.

"I was attacked by the woman in red. I used a substitute to confuse her. She's now downstairs in 1008, eating my doll. I really need help. The phones on floors 14, 13, 7, 6, 5, and 4 aren't being answered..."

The man's tone suddenly changed, sounding even more terrified. "She's almost done eating, she's almost done eating! Please come and help me, I'm Ant King's brother, I'll pay any price..."

"Understood, I'll be right there."

Li Ang's voice was steady and calm. He looked at Mule and Liu Wudai in room 0372 and quickly said, "You guys go support Wanli Fengdao first, I'll go find 13mArk."

With that, he hung up the phone,

And instead of pressing the elevator's up button,

He raised his right hand and pointed it at the elevator lobby ceiling.

A large number of vines gushed out from the fingertips of his five fingers,

Intertwining like snakes, spiraling upwards, reaching the elevator lobby ceiling, deftly and quickly prying open the steel plate at the top of the elevator lobby, revealing the dark and deep elevator shaft above.

Dense vines clung firmly to the edge of the elevator car roof, stretching to the limit like a spring,

And then, suddenly contracted.

Li Ang shot out like an arrow, flying rapidly upwards in the empty elevator shaft.

Turbid air whistled past his ears. The extremely low-energy indicator lights in the elevator shaft emitted a faint orange glow, dragging long trails of afterimages like comets in his high-speed perspective.

Thump!

Li Ang's palm clung firmly to the steel bracket on the elevator shaft inner wall, forcibly stopping the inertia. Before he could steady himself, two fingers crossed into a heart shape had already carved into the elevator door.

Sharp, slender fingernails wedged into the door seam,

Accompanied by a grinding creak,

The two doors slid to the left and right.

Li Ang flashed into the eleventh floor and looked to the left of the corridor.

Blood.

The end of the corridor on the left was covered in bloodstains.

Splashes, drips, streams, puddles...

13mArk's upper body was slumped forward, facing the ground, his right arm in front,

His left arm behind,

His black suit was covered in cuts, and his dreadlocks were soaked in blood,

Motionless, his life or death unknown.

And his lower body was in the elevator shaft on the left side of the corridor,

Being dragged by something, quickly sliding toward the elevator shaft.

Bang!

The elevator doors slammed shut, leaving only a long, curved bloodstain on the ground.

Was it that, the woman in red...

Li Ang bent his knees, and a cloud of dust rose from the carpet beneath his feet.

In the next instant, he crossed the entire corridor and rushed to the elevator lobby door on the left,

Countless vines grew out from under his sleeves, filling the entire space like thousands of soaring snakes.

Li Ang threw a punch.

The fist wind howled,

A large number of vines wrapped tightly around his left fist,

Rapidly hardening into a conical shape in mid-air,

Following the momentum of the fist, it easily pierced into the already closed elevator door, smashing the elevator door open,

Standing at the edge and looking down,

He saw the elevator car stopped around the sixth floor,

The elevator shaft safety doors on the 14th, 13th, 12th, 10th, 9th, 8th, and 7th floors were all open, and the light from each floor shone into the elevator shaft,

Illuminating the dark and deep space.

There was no trace of 13mArk.

No bloodstains, no bloody smell, not even the aura of a living person.

No, 13mArk and that woman in red must have appeared here,

The opening of the elevator shaft doors on each floor was the other party's means of confusing Li Ang, making Li Ang not know which floor it had escaped to.

Why?

It had already devoured five players and was in the process of devouring the sixth,

Possessing immense power, yet unwilling to fight Li Ang here, directly eliminating potential witnesses?

Was it because the devouring was incomplete and not as powerful as the players imagined,

Or was it unable to fight during the devouring process,

Or could the other party only kill one player and eat once each night?

His mind was still thinking, but his body acted first,

Li Ang's left pupil transformed into a vertical beast pupil, and vast spiritual consciousness swept across the entire elevator shaft like a surging river,

Lines.

Dense, invisible lines filled the entire space, emitting extremely faint light under the detection of spiritual consciousness.

What were these lines?

Swamp God power was not good at reconnaissance and detection,

Li Ang's spiritual consciousness mainly relied on the cat's eye, which could recognize and create illusions, to release it.

However, the cat's eye was only of Rare quality, able to see the location of the invisible lines, but unable to further identify the specific effects of the lines.

The woman in red was a hotel anomaly and had her own abnormalities. Not to mention that the other party had devoured a large number of players and possessed countless special abilities.

Then, go around them.

Li Ang's body suddenly deformed violently, his shoulders, back, and limbs collapsing as if the bones had been removed,

Bang.

Several vines were fired from all parts of Li Ang's body,

Grazing the edges of the invisible light lines, and finally nailed to the inner wall of the elevator shaft,

Like Spider-Man's spider silk, hanging the soft, boneless Li Ang, falling down the elevator shaft.

Bai Haozheng and Hei Shengzi lived on the fourteenth and thirteenth floors respectively,

Although 13mArk mentioned that no one answered these two floors when he called—perhaps they were doing their own memo missions or taking the elevator to support the others living on the left side of the corridor.

But the woman in red, a hotel monster, may not know this.

From its perspective, descending downwards,

Escaping to the empty tenth and ninth floors was definitely safer.

Bang bang bang!

Plant vines dragged downwards,

The soft, boneless Li Ang, his body contracting, stretching, and deforming from time to time, deftly avoiding all the invisible light lines, and his speed did not decrease at all.

More flexible than the canned, Q-bomb, boneless lemon chicken willow sold on Taobao.

If Chichai was here, she would definitely be drooling, thinking in her mind: This meat looks delicious,

(`p`)

Descend, descend.

Li Ang flipped and jumped into the tenth floor. The next second, all the invisible light lines in the elevator shaft behind him suddenly brightened, emitting a dazzling light like the scorching sun.

Then, the light lines broke.

Boom!!!

The blue flames filled the entire space,

The high-temperature radiation, enough to melt steel, scorched the indestructible elevator shaft into a magma-like dark red,

The scorching shockwave of air poured into all the floors with the elevator doors open without discrimination.

Li Ang, standing at the entrance of the tenth floor, was swept by the flames from behind,

The white coat on his body instantly burst and disintegrated, turning to ashes along with the dragon head mask,

Revealing the Mirage Dragon Red Mane coat worn close to his body underneath.

The Red Mane coat of Perfect quality finally withstood the unknown invisible light line explosion,

And the excess heat radiated over was also offset by the healing effect of the Biological Motherboard.

If another player had entered the elevator shaft, they would have been caught off guard and killed directly, right?

After all, even Li Ang didn't expect that the array formed by those invisible light lines would release such a terrifying amount of energy.

He slowly straightened his body and looked around.

The deformed bones in his body returned to their original positions, making cracking sounds.

In the tenth floor, he couldn't see 13mArk and the woman in red...

Creak creak—

The sound of sandals soaked in water stepping on the ground rang from the stairwell on the left side of the tenth-floor corridor.

Li Ang turned his head and looked. The door to the stairwell was open.

A bright red oval balloon, hanging from a slender green plastic flat line, slowly floated in.

This balloon was suspended in mid-air,

Neither rising nor falling,

Almost completely horizontally, it moved to the center of the tenth-floor corridor.

Creak creak—

The comical sound of shoes stepping on the ground gradually approached,

A pair of boots stepped into the corridor from the stairwell.

They were a pair of black and white cloth boots, similar to riding boots, but without heels,

Black shoelaces, narrow boot tips, and topped with a cluster of dusty red pom-poms.

Like...the shoes worn by a circus clown.

"Hee hee hee..."

A sharp, short laugh rang out,

A bizarre clown wearing a dirty white clown suit, white gloves, and holding a large number of red balloon strings in each hand, walked out of the stairwell.

His forehead was high and wide, unlike ordinary people,

With messy orange short hair growing above his forehead,

His face was painted with a ghastly white makeup, and his lips were smeared with scarlet blood-like paint, with two red imprints extending from the corners of his mouth, along his cheeks, to above his eyes.

A clown wandering around with balloons...

Was this one of the anomalies in the corridor that Judy Cecil spoke of?

The clown stood still, lowered his head slightly, and smiled sinisterly,

His weird gaze staring intently at Li Ang in front of him,

He grinned, revealing a mouth full of fangs, and blew a bubble with sticky saliva.

Pop.

Li Ang was expressionless, and a scythe appeared in his hand.

——————

Upstairs, what happened?

The deafening explosion seemed to still echo in his mind.

Hei Shengzi sprinted rapidly in the stairwell on the left side of the corridor,

Constantly stepping on the walls with the soles of his feet, using the recoil force to jump up and down, climbing upwards.

He and Yui Kokoro had previously gone down to the sixth floor to support the Plague Doctor, but encountered the rotting elderly creature from yesterday.

During the day, Bai Haozheng and 13mArk had carefully explained some of the characteristics of the rotting elderly creature to others,

For example, this anomaly's body was extremely tough, able to greatly reduce elemental or physical damage from the outside world,

This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!

And it also had the ability to recover. If it was not continuously damaged for a period of time, it would slowly heal.

The black oily substance covering its body had a strong corrosive effect. Once splashed, the corresponding parts of the skin and muscles had to be cut off with a sharp weapon to avoid further corrosion.

In addition, the black oily substance could also be used as some kind of space teleportation device.

The rotting elderly creature could pass through solid space through the black oil stains, and then pass through from the other side of the black oil stains. There were no energy fluctuations during the whole process.

And the pocket it held seemed to be a spatial dimension bag. Once caught,

It was very likely to be transported into a special space and be difficult to escape.

Unlike yesterday's Wan Jia Xiong Meng (Don't Breathe), the memo that the Plague Doctor received tonight was the maliciously filled Hei Deng Xia Huo (Don't Get Killed),

Correspondingly, the rotting elderly creature no longer seemed to need to rely on breathing to lock onto the player's location,

Its attack frequency was higher and faster, and each attack would push the player into a desperate situation.

At first, Hei Shengzi and others struggled to support themselves under the opponent's attacks,

Several times, they were almost pulled in front of the rotting elderly creature's space cutting and stuffed into the dimensional space.

Fortunately, Yui Kokoro's power system was particularly compatible with the Plague Doctor,

The former's whole body had bulging veins, and his skin turned black and red. His scarlet eyes were like Shura, and all three major attributes, strength, agility, and constitution, had exploded.

Thunder snakes and electric eels swam around the katana in his hand, releasing a sky full of thunder light with each swing of his sword,

And the Plague Doctor released medical skills,

Causing a thick, long orange ray to extend from the top of the staff, connecting to the back of Yui Kokoro,

Continuously healing Yui Kokoro's body that was collapsing and disintegrating due to the release of secret techniques.

The three cooperated tacitly,

The Plague Doctor urgently healed the injuries,

Yui Kokoro was responsible for attacking,

Hei Shengzi was responsible for restricting the enemy, while protecting the most vulnerable Plague Doctor,

Relying on pulling and maneuvering, they barely maintained the situation and supported until the 01:11 elevator safety event was about to arrive.

However, the loud explosion from upstairs broke the stalemate,

The rotting elderly creature, who had been silently attacking, glanced upstairs and suddenly sped up its attacks, seemingly impatient,

Almost ending the sneak attack from Yui Kokoro with one blow,

As if the previous balanced situation was just an illusion created by it to play with the lab rats.

The hearts of the three players sounded alarm bells. Hei Shengzi quickly used a one-time-use trump card prop to temporarily block the opponent,

Letting Yui Kokoro and the Plague Doctor enter the elevator lobby that was about to enter safe mode,

At the same time, he rushed out of the 0610 door, rushed into the stairwell, and ran upstairs,

Preparing to check the source of that explosion.

The Dolphin Hotel had excellent sound insulation,

What kind of explosion would cause such a strong aftershock?

Bang, bang.

Slight sounds rang in the tenth-floor corridor, as if something heavy was constantly hitting the ground.

Hei Shengzi held the golden dagger tightly in his right hand, and his figure was like a sharp arrow, rushing into the tenth-floor corridor, with the skill bar ready to be released at any time.

This was....

In the tenth-floor corridor, there was still a lot of charred smoke caused by the explosion,

A large number of bright red balloons floated on the ceiling,

A distorted figure wearing a clown suit lay on the ground, and a red figure was squatting next to it.

Bang, bang.

The red figure was facing away from Hei Shengzi, seemingly doing something to the clown. Each time the bang sounded, the clown's arm or calf would twitch.

Bang, bang.

The red figure turned its head, revealing a pair of deep black eyes,

"You're here."

Li Ang's voice.

Bang.

His fist was covered in black blood, punching, punching, hitting the clown's flat, cracked face.
