Chapter 轰!

The instant the clown was thrown into the elevator shaft, its body spontaneously combusted into flames.

The raging fire didn't damage the wooden floor, but turned it into a pile of ashes in a matter of seconds.

Li Ang also received the system's reward point notification.

Li Ang's actions were mainly to test whether the rules of the Dolphin Hotel were still in effect—it seemed that the elevator within the safe time limit could directly kill the hotel's anomalies.

Afterward, Li Ang entered the elevator shaft, opened the steel plate above it, and pressed the elevator's down button, causing it to descend to the 9th floor.

Then, he had Liu Wu Dai pry open the elevator shaft door,

took the mud eyeball monster out of the glass bottle, and threw it into the elevator shaft—the glass bottle in her hand had a high degree of mystery and could, to some extent, shield the elevator shaft from scanning and detecting the hotel's anomalies.

To everyone's surprise, the mud eyeball monster was burned to ashes as it flew into the elevator shaft.

Liu Wu Dai also received the system's kill notification.

"So, that means,"

Bai Haozheng, who was squatting on the floor of room 1108, stood up, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "13mArk, is he already dead?"

"He should be dead."

Li Ang said calmly, "He had already sneaked into room 1108 before the curfew last night.

He probably thought, 'As long as I stay on the floor where someone died, I'll be safe,'

regardless of whether his actions would violate the hotel rules, or whether they would transfer the danger to others, causing them to die."

Li Ang didn't care about the slightly unsightly expressions on the faces of the players present, and said to himself, "In fact, this kind of thinking is not strange. After all, players are a group that licks blood from the edge of a knife all day long.

If breaking the moral bottom line can help them survive better, many people will choose to do so—not to mention facing a group of random teammates who are not related to them.

But 13mArk still miscalculated.

A mistake occurred in one of the links in his plan,

causing the red-clothed old woman to still appear on the tenth floor, first eating the substitute puppet he placed in room 1008, and then going upstairs to attack him.

During this process, 13mArk tried to call other floors for help, but no one answered."

Bai Haozheng sighed upon hearing this, and said calmly, "The content of the note I received was rather special. I didn't hear his call. Hei Shengzi and Yu Yi Xinzhong also didn't answer the phone because they were supporting the Plague Doctor.

But I have a question, why didn't 13mArk choose to run away when the red-clothed old woman swallowed his substitute?

Although the elevator car was stopped on the sixth floor at the time,

the elevator shaft door was right next to him. He could have pried open the elevator shaft door, fallen onto the top of the elevator car, entered the elevator car, and directly found Hei Shengzi and Yu Yi Xinzhong.

Or he could have run directly to the other side of the corridor, and used the stairwell to go downstairs—this would definitely be much faster than constantly making phone calls."

"It's possible that his substitute couldn't move far once it was released?

Or, did the red-clothed old woman use some kind of skill to restrain his legs?"

Hei Shengzi thought for a while, and said uncertainly, "Of course, it's also possible that 13mArk was already controlled by the red-clothed old woman at that time, and calling was just to lure players to the eleventh floor to become her food.

But this possibility is not high.

According to previous experience, the red-clothed old woman will only attack once a night, and she dragged 13mArk's body into the elevator shaft before Li Risheng arrived.

If her purpose was to eat the players who came to support, then she could just block people in the stairwell.

Why bother entering the elevator shaft, and gambling that the players who came to support would go down to the elevator shaft to pursue him for 13mArk's sake?"

"I know a little about this."

Li Ang glanced at Hei Shengzi. Just like he had seen a few days ago, the top of the other person's head was empty, and the [Secrets Excavator] title skill had not excavated any inner secrets.

Li Ang took out a piece of paper from his pocket.

This piece of paper seemed to be a very small part of the A4 paper that Li Ang had given away, only the size of a fingernail, with a dense pile of English written on it.

Looking closely, one could see that the English font was neat and clear, as if it had been printed out.

"This is 13mArk's last will."

Li Ang said calmly, "The red-clothed old woman entered the 10th floor through the stairwell on the left side of the corridor, and attacked 13mArk's substitute prop called [Mercury Blood Amber] in room 1008 with a naginata.

Compared to last night, the red-clothed old woman, who was suspected of having eaten Ω, had her strength enhanced again.

The Mercury Blood Amber substitute had no resistance and was beaten to pieces and slowly devoured.

13mArk first wanted to drill into the elevator shaft to escape.

However, the red-clothed old woman, who had obtained Dan Fei and others' equipment skills, first blocked the ascending and descending space of the elevator shaft with invisible light,

and then used some kind of skill to draw a prison on the ground, forcibly trapping 13mArk, so that once he had the idea of running to the left or right side of the corridor, he would be stepping in place."

"[Soul Skewer]!"

The Plague Doctor subconsciously shouted. Seeing the questioning gazes of the players, he explained, "This is an advanced psionic skill that can be learned by core members within the Demon Scientists Alliance.

Its effect is to implant ideas and thoughts that do not harm oneself into other players within a certain distance after obtaining their flesh and blood.

The intensity is slightly lower than mental control, but if used well, it can completely kill people invisibly.

This skill is only circulated within the Demon Scientists Alliance and is taught in person by the guild's vice president. Before teaching, a relevant contract must be signed.

Those who learn the skill can never transfer the skill in any way.

I don't have enough contribution points in the guild to learn this skill.

Ω might have learned it...

If the assumption is true, then the red-clothed old woman may have indeed eaten Ω and inherited part or all of the latter's skills."

Logically speaking, this information belongs to the Demon Scientists Alliance's private intelligence and should not be told to outsiders.

However, the Plague Doctor is not a loyal person to the guild. The Dolphin Hotel script world is full of crises.

Increasing the trust of other teammates may allow him to be helped at a critical moment.

"So that's how it is."

Li Ang nodded and continued, "13mArk, who was trapped in place, called me, and hung up after learning that I would go upstairs to help.

At this time, the red-clothed old woman squatting on the floor of room 1008 had eaten all parts of the Mercury Blood Amber.

She seemed to have the liquefying ability of the blood amber puppet.

She directly melted her body into liquid,

slowly climbed up through the holes between rooms 1008 and 1108, and easily broke through all the restrictions set by 13mArk in the room.

13mArk may have known that he could not escape. He used his mechanical fingers with different functions,

sprayed and printed the will on small pieces of paper,

and hid the will under the telephone receiver.

And he used the posture of his left arm pointing diagonally behind him before being dragged away to remind me of the abnormality of the phone."

Li Ang had previously found the fragmented paper from under the telephone receiver when countless vines grew and filled the space at the entrance of the elevator shaft.

The paper not only recorded 13mArk's experiences for a period of time before his death, but also detailed all the skills, equipment, and prop effects on his body, as well as corresponding weaknesses and solutions.

If the red-clothed old woman could devour and utilize 13mArk's skills and equipment,

then this information might help the remaining players kill the red-clothed old woman.

This is revenge from 13mArk.
