CHAPTER 283: CHAPTER 216: OMINOUS GAZE

"So, only if I’m sure nothing will happen to me, will I share this information with you all. As for anything else, forget it."

After Zhang Ya finished speaking, he turned and left directly.

He wanted to go back to his room and check if there were really rules under the landline.

If there really are rules, does it also specify what the punishment is?

Seeing Zhang Ya leave, everyone frowned.

This guy doesn’t even have a family. If that’s the case, it’s really tricky.

They wanted to use money to buy him off, but that’s clearly not going to work.

Everyone sighed inwardly and couldn’t help but look at Zhou Yingting.

Just now, if it weren’t for Zhou Yingting bringing up the matter, they could definitely have asked him for the information he obtained.

Zhou Yingting noticed everyone’s eyes on him and understood their intentions but did not argue.

However, Zhang Yi noticed the unusual situation and immediately comforted them.

"After all, Zhou Yingting did provide a hotel rule, and Zhang Ya is indeed correct in considering that he broke a hotel rule to obtain a hotel rule."

"Now the opponent wants to use this as a bargaining chip to protect their safety, and there’s nothing wrong with that."

"If you’re really curious about what the opposing party obtained, you could go back to your rooms and make a call yourselves."

Zhang Yi’s words made everyone frown and fall silent.

They all knew they couldn’t use the landline to call the other party, and under such circumstances, no one wanted to risk exchanging information.

Thus, Zhang Yi’s words effectively kept them quiet, leaving everyone speechless.

"What should we do next?"

Wang Xin looked around, "Zhang Ya is unwilling to share information with us, so how should we get the information he obtained?"

According to the situation, they must stay in this hotel for seven days and survive during this period.

But in this hotel, they must ensure they follow the hotel’s rules.

Although they didn’t know what the consequences of breaking the hotel’s rules would be, they were unwilling to risk it.

"Let’s walk around and gather some information first."

Zhang Yi thought for a while and suggested.

There weren’t many known hotel rules, and their understanding of the hotel was lacking.

It was best to go around, gather information, and see if they could obtain some hotel rules through other channels.

This way, they might be safer.

Everyone thought this made sense and immediately agreed.

"Since there are no objections, let’s form groups based on the previous floors. As for the time, let’s set it for forty minutes. Now that we don’t know the hotel’s rules, it’s better not to return too late."

In the Horror Dungeon, it seems that sleeping late tends to lead to bad things happening.

Considering this, Zhang Yi decided everyone would explore for forty minutes and then reconvene to share information.

Everyone had no objections to this and immediately prepared to group up and walk around the hotel.

"By the way, those on the same floor as Zhang Ya, don’t go; you go find Zhang Ya. I’m worried he’ll encounter danger alone."

"Rest assured, if we find out anything, we’ll share it with you and won’t keep it hidden."

Zhang Yi, seeing everyone about to leave, called out to the two on the same floor as Zhang Ya.

In the Horror Dungeon, it’s best not to act alone.

Zhang Ya, being new, seemed unaware of this, as he had left alone. Zhang Yi was a bit uneasy and immediately sent two others to find him.

During this time, it’s best for the few of them to stay together.

The two called over hesitated upon hearing this.

They didn’t mind finding Zhang Ya but were concerned about not participating in gathering information and feared Zhang Yi and others wouldn’t share what they found.

Even though Zhang Yi promised to share information, they were still worried.

After all, if they wanted to use the information they found to threaten Zhang Ya, what would happen?

"Feel free to go. If you’re really uneasy, after finding Zhang Ya, you can search for information together and meet in the lobby in forty minutes."

Zhang Yi, seeing their hesitation, added.

Upon hearing this, they were reassured.

Having said it that way, it seemed no intention to hide information from them.

"Then we’ll find Zhang Ya."

The two nodded, then turned toward the elevator.

Zhang Ya had just gone back upstairs to the hotel; they were on the same floor and knew his room.

Zhang Yi watched them leave and waved a hand, signaling others to proceed.

Qiao Peimu then looked at Zhou Yingting, "Brother Zhou, it’s not safe for you alone. Come with us."

Zhou Yingting was alone on a floor; if grouped by floors, he’d have no companions.

Seeing Qiao Peimu’s invitation, Zhou Yingting did not refuse, nodding to follow.

With Qiao Peimu were Shangguan Nana and another person from the 14th Bureau.

They had just seen the overall hotel distribution at the hotel and planned to check the west side.

The west side was a place for hot springs.

When they arrived, they saw many tourists coming and going.

These tourists wore very little, almost all wet, looking like they had just finished soaking in the hot springs.

These hot springs were outdoors, with surrounding structures making the springs quite scattered.

But walking along, there seemed to be no directions.

Many people, upon seeing Zhou Yingting, focused on him, while Qiao Peimu and the others went unnoticed.

Along the way, numerous glances focused on Zhou Yingting and then moved away, which puzzled Nana.

"Why do all these people’s gazes seem so focused on you?"

Shangguan Nana looked at Zhou Yingting with curiosity.

They had come in together; if someone attracted attention, why was it only Zhou Yingting?

Could it be because Zhou Yingting stayed in Room No. 44?

"Probably because these guys aren’t human."

Hearing Shangguan Nana’s question, Zhou Yingting’s face darkened slightly as he replied.

Upon initially entering, there weren’t so many stares, but after dinner, anyone seeing Zhou Yingting seemed to focus on him, eyes full of greed.

Thus, it seemed these guys weren’t human after all.

Certainly, only something strange would stare at him like this; apart from these oddities, nothing else would.

But if that’s the case, it means they’re trapped in a den of strangeness now?

Qiao Peimu paused at Zhou Yingting’s words, then his expression changed, "No way, in Horror Dungeon, aren’t the oddities limited to just a few or one?"

"According to you, are all hotel guests odd? If so, can we still leave here alive?"

Qiao Peimu gulped hard; Horror Dungeon was already challenging to escape from alive. Now, if everyone here was odd, how could they survive? Was there even a chance?

The other person shivered at this, filled with concern.
