Chapter 744: Chapter 744: Turn Off the Lights and Party

"How could that be the face of a normal person?" Long Aotian said, "Cheeks painted red, a wax figure?"

"What’s a wax figure doing in the Corpse-Hiding Hotel?"

"It might have escaped from the Wax Figure Gallery." Xu Huo wasn’t sure if the wax figure on the screen was the same one that had escaped from the Wax Figure Gallery yesterday.

"The wax figure is alive," Xiao Ling said. "The plastic dummies we saw before didn’t have such strong attacking power to drag away a living person."

"Should we go look for someone?" Long Aotian asked.

Xiao Ling’s silence answered his question.

At that moment, the television in the living room turned on automatically, and a news bulletin played:

"Attention, all citizens, an unprecedented large-scale prison break has occurred at the Baiyun Prison closest to Museum City. Multiple convicts are still at large, including three serial killers who are believed to have fled to the vicinity of Museum City. Please lock your doors and windows and refrain from going out at night."

The news repeated several times, and Xu Huo took photos of the three wanted criminals.

"Those three wanted criminals can’t be real," Long Aotian said. "It’s just an excuse created by the venue for the murder game. The faces of these three are clearly cobbled together."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the lights in the room began to flicker, and a red warning icon appeared on the TV screen: "Alert! Museum City’s electrical system has been disrupted! Alert! Museum City’s electrical system has been disrupted! Alert! Museum City’s electrical system has been disrupted!"

After the third warning, the television and the lights went out together, plunging the hotel—and the entire Museum City—into darkness.

"This wasn’t on the program two nights ago." Xu Huo looked toward the cemetery and pointed with his chin, "Did you see this the night before last?"

Xiao Ling took out a prop telescope. "What’s crawling out from under the graves?"

"Let me see, let me see!" Long Aotian squeezed over, taking advantage of her prop for a moment. "Damn, that’s badass!"

The Beheaded Cemetery now looked like a large-scale resurrection show. Skulls crawled straight out of the graves that had been dug up and not properly filled, some even banging on their coffins; the sound carried exceptionally far in the open area.

"Ahhh...!!!" A sharp scream, somewhat like the ones in TV dramas, came from outside, followed by pleas and wails. It seemed like people were frantically trying to escape within the hotel.

Without looking, it was clear that the difficulty of the instance had increased. By this time, someone was frantically banging on their door for help. The three people in the room ignored it, with Xiao Ling and Long Aotian each watching the door and the window, while Xu Huo watched the direction of the cemetery.

More than a dozen skeletons had crawled out, calling their friends to help dig out more, and then they set off towards the center of Museum City.

Xu Huo raised an eyebrow, about to track them in real time, when the noise outside attracted the players hunting them. The lead player broke into the room, framing his fingers in the shape of a camera frame at them: "Cheese!"

This left Xiao Ling and Long Aotian, who were prepared to make their move, frozen in place in a slightly bent forward stance. The two players following the lead player teleported from the doorway to their front in an instant, each slashing toward their throats and abdomens from the left and right!

"Paper window that can’t be pierced!"

"Rowing against the current; if you don’t advance, you’ll be pushed back!"

Xiao Ling and Long Aotian had each used props in succession, the knife aimed at the former was blocked by a paper-thin membrane, while Long Aotian suddenly slid a meter away, both successfully avoiding the attack. Meanwhile, the lead player’s special trait time had passed.

But before the two could put some distance between them, the player to their left tossed a piece of paper that resembled a contract to the ground: "Co-renting Rules!"

Several black lines suddenly emerged on the floor, dividing the whole room into six sections, with each of the six people inside occupying one square.

Long Aotian tried to move outside, but his feet simply couldn’t cross over, Xiao Ling faced the same predicament. Before the two could react, the three closely cooperating opponents had already sprung into action!

Just then, Xu Huo, who was standing behind them, took out a bottle of potion and sprinkled it into the air, shouting loudly, "Careful, it’s poison!"

The three players reflexively dodged to the side, not having the time to examine what the substance actually was, when one of them was suddenly kicked against the wall by the charging Xu Huo!

"How can this be!" The player who had used the contract prop was unable to hide his surprise upon seeing him walk out of the square, but the player who had been kicked was already stuck to the wall, and Xu Huo was heading straight for him again!

The player instinctively tried to pull away, only to find his back hitting the wall after not even two steps; the door, which had been three meters away, had also disappeared!

"He’s skilled in illusions!" the lead player realized, "Keep moving back, the door is right behind you!"

Indeed, the player wanted to move back, but no matter how hard he tried, not even his props could open the door. With no other choice, he had to return to the room to rescue his other companion, leaving the lead player to intercept Xu Huo.

The sound of a lighter opening and closing kept echoing in the room, as Xu Huo repeatedly set fires toward his opponents.

Although the protective suits might not necessarily catch fire, no one wanted to be burned. The lead player used his speed to dodge the flames, and after several attempts, there wasn’t a single spark on him, but instead, a large part of the room’s furnishing was ablaze.

Throughout, the lead player looked for opportunities to get closer, but Xu Huo’s speed was no slower. The distance between them remained over three meters, and relying on his speed, Xu Huo could also dodge his opponent’s props.

However, it wasn’t long before the room became unsuitable for fighting, firstly due to the flames, and secondly because both parties needed to avoid each other’s props, so the battlefield moved into the hallway.

The room had entered Xu Huo’s Spiritual World the moment the lead player broke down the door. Now, as he opened the exit, the range of the Spiritual World correspondingly expanded.

But, the moment he stepped into the hallway, Xu Huo immediately sensed something off with the hotel.

The outside was too dark, a kind of blackness like ink that cannot be stirred. His usual night vision, which should have been almost as good as seeing with light, now drastically shortened in range as soon as he stepped out—it was as though he had stepped into an abyss.

"Borrowing light by chiseling through the wall!" The lead player slapped the wall, and from him to the walls adjacent to Xu Huo, thumb-sized holes appeared one after another, a faint light emitting from them, perfectly illuminating the hallway.

It wasn’t that there was actual light shining through the holes, but rather that they were embedded with luminous materials.

Those few from the room hadn’t emerged yet. This one in front clearly less affected mentally, Xu Huo’s gaze lingered on him for a moment, saying, "Doesn’t your hand hurt?"

The lead player’s eyes didn’t shift, but his hand trembled slightly, followed by a small black spot appearing on the back of his hand.

He hadn’t come into contact with the potion, but following Xu Huo’s suggestion, he thought he had been poisoned.
