CHAPTER 324: REVISED: CHAPTER 120 [THE MONSTER IN HUMAN SKIN] (7800 WORDS)_2

Before Chen Yan could answer, he noticed that Chu Keqing was also looking at him with a complicated expression.

Alright then... Chen Yan sighed.

There was no way to hide it now.

Ouyang’s face immediately lit up with excitement. He walked over and patted Chen Yan on the shoulder, his voice filled with enthusiasm, "How did you do it?"

Chen Yan pointed to his own face, "Look at my complexion! How did I do it? I fought my way through, and in the end, I got beaten up and had to run back to my room."

Ouyang pursed his lips, although he didn’t say anything, his expression clearly showed he didn’t believe him.

"Alright, let’s not waste any time. The precious break and safe zone are for room exchanges," Chen Yan sighed, "Let’s first see how many died last night."

·

The death of the Warrior Armored Guest was witnessed by Chen Yan.

In fact, Chu Keqing and Ouyang saw it too.

When the three of them left the room and came into the corridor, the long-haired elder Kudai was the first to appear on the other side.

This person, who had seemed impressive before, now looked far worse off than the night before.

The long black robe on the old guy was already torn to shreds! His right arm dangled weakly, and under the torn clothes, his forearm bore horrifying scars, with the flesh peeled back, almost exposing the white bone!

Next, the long-haired girl from the neighboring room also opened her door and came out. However, the girl didn’t seem to be injured, but her demeanor was somewhat strange.

Before Kudai could speak, the long-haired girl angrily exclaimed, "You lied to me! You hid the dangerous rules of the room from me!"

The long-haired elder glared back at her with equal bitterness, "You did the same! Xisang Family girl, you didn’t tell me the truth when we exchanged rooms either!"

The two of them stared at each other with hatred, then turned their heads away simultaneously.

The three on Chen Yan’s side walked over but did not greet the two. Chen Yan had a clear target - he headed straight for the room of the man in black with the tall hat!

When he reached the door, Chen Yan stopped and sighed, "He’s dead."

The door was slightly open - it seemed that it was a rule that once a guest died in a room, the lock would fail, and the door would no longer be locked.

Chen Yan gently pushed open the door and walked in, followed closely by Ouyang and Chu Keqing.

Inside the room, everything appeared intact. The floor, the walls, the table, everything looked clean with no signs of damage.

The room was extremely clean, with not even a trace of blood.

However, the guest in black with the tall hat was already dead.

He lay on the bed.

His posture was quite orderly: hands folded on his chest, body straight.

His face also seemed quite peaceful. Despite his stiff expression, there was no trace of the agony or struggle one would expect during the throes of death.

It looked as if he had simply gone to sleep and then died silently in his dreams.

— Chen Yan knew this was impossible!

In this trial, who would sleep during the dangerous nights??

This isn’t right!

Chen Yan immediately turned to Ouyang and Chu Keqing, "Do you remember? This room belonged to that armored guest before! It was only after the first night that it was exchanged for this guy."

Ouyang squinted his eyes, "Yes, I remember that after the first night, when the armored guy left this room, he wasn’t in such a state."

Chen Yan nodded, "At that time, his armor was damaged, and there was a lot of blood - it seemed like he had gone through intense combat. But look at this guy now... sigh!"

Chu Keqing’s face looked strange, "He has no wounds, and his clothes are intact."

Chen Yan looked at Ouyang, "Do the room’s dangers and monsters change?"

"The rules don’t change," Ouyang shook his head, "That’s why the room exchange phase has such strict limits and is so emphasized! If the room’s dangers and monsters changed, the room exchange phase would be meaningless."

Chen Yan pinched his chin, "So, we might have been misled before. The armored guy spent the first night here and came out with external wounds, making us think the room’s monster specializes in physical attacks. But now..."

Ouyang stared coldly at the corpse of the black-clad guest on the bed, "His soul has been taken or eradicated - this is an attack directly on the Primordial Spirit level!"

Damn it, so this room’s monster has both physical and magical attacks?

Chen Yan cursed in his heart.

By now, out of the original seven groups of guests, three had died.

The two Big-Head Dolls died the first night, the Warrior Armored Guest and the man in black with the tall hat died the second night.

Besides the three on Chen Yan’s side, only the long-haired elder Kudai and the long-haired girl remained.

The interesting part is, according to the rules, this room exchange couldn’t repeat the previous night’s pairs.

So...

"We can only exchange rooms with those two," Ouyang chuckled.

"Not necessarily, we could also choose from the empty rooms," Chen Yan said, looking into Ouyang’s eyes.

At that moment, a shout came from the doorway. It was the long-haired elder Kudai.

Kudai and the long-haired girl walked into the room one after another, both coming to the bedside to stare at the corpse of the black-clad man with the tall hat.

Clearly, both of their faces showed a bit of surprise—not because the guy was dead, but because of the way he died!
