Chapter 311 - 117 "Room Swap" (9800 words)_4
"The first night’s trial is over. Congratulations to all the surviving guests. From now on, the trial timer will pause for 15 minutes. During this period, the area outside the rooms will temporarily be a safe zone.
You may leave your rooms and walk around freely, as long as you stay on the second floor.
All surviving guests, please look for a room exchange target.
You have 15 minutes to discuss and negotiate. After 15 minutes, the trial timer will resume, and the area outside the rooms will once again become a danger zone."
We can exchange rooms now?
Chen Yan glanced at Chu Keqing, only to find that she was intently observing the ceiling in the corridor, seemingly searching for the source of the voice.
"No need to look, it’s the array transmitting the sound." Chen Yan shook his head, then said, "We can leave the room for now. Fifteen minutes of free time—let’s go and see who died last night."
·
As Chen Yan walked out of his room, he saw that the guy in black clothes and a tall hat from next door was coming out too.
This guy was still alive! Moreover, he appeared to be in fairly good condition.
He gave Chen Yan and Chu Keqing a cold glance before slowly stepping out.
What made Chen Yan’s heart sink a little was that Ouyang’s door was still closed!
At the other end of the corridor, the first to step out was the long-haired old man named Kudai.
He smiled arrogantly, glanced over briefly, then looked away.
However, the long-haired girl next door also pushed her door open, and when she stepped out, Kudai let out a cold grunt, seemingly disappointed.
The guy in warrior armor also stepped out, but he didn’t seem to be in good shape.
His armor had more damage, especially on the shoulder area, where it was completely cut open!
Furthermore, his armor had many bloodstains, indicating he had lost a lot of blood! His steps were visibly weaker as he walked out.
Kudai walked to the room of the two big-headed babies, stared at the door, then gently pushed it open.
The door wasn’t locked and opened slowly.
Kudai peeked inside, shook his head, then turned and left.
The long-haired girl facing the other way down the corridor seemed to be observing. Hidden behind her hair, an eye of deep red seemed to glance at the warrior armor before shifting towards Chen Yan.
She walked over slowly, bypassing the warrior, and headed straight to Chen Yan and Chu Keqing.
"I want to exchange rooms with you."
Chen Yan didn’t understand what the long-haired girl said, but Chu Keqing responded in Japanese, "Sorry, we already have someone in mind for the room exchange."
The long-haired girl didn’t insist, nodded, and moved past them to stand beside the man in black clothes and a tall hat.
Before she could speak, the man in black shook his head, "I also have someone to exchange rooms with."
The long-haired girl seemed stunned for a moment, then froze in place.
The man in black strode towards the guy in warrior armor, and the two entered the warrior’s room together, their conversation unknown.
Chen Yan had a feeling inside... It seemed these two had already planned to cooperate! Last night during the banquet, their tables were next to each other, so maybe they had reached an agreement then?
Chen Yan stared at the left side of the corridor, suddenly remembering something, then walked over quickly!
The long-haired girl, seeing Chen Yan walking, seemingly heading towards the long-haired old man Kudai, snorted.
Chen Yan’s target was clear. He headed to the other side of the corridor, ignoring Kudai and stopping at the room of the two big-headed babies.
The room was small and shallow, with a layout identical to his own room.
Standing at the door, the air inside was filled with a strong stench!
The smell of blood... Chen Yan’s heart tightened. These two people were dead!
There were no bodies in the room.
Instead, the floor and bed had puddles of foul-smelling pus and blood!!
Blood splattered everywhere in the room—on the walls, ceiling, windows... All covered in bloodstains.
From the pattern of the blood, Chen Yan estimated it had been sprayed. Beyond that, he didn’t understand more.
Other than that, nothing in the room was damaged; the table, bed, all intact.
It seemed like the two people had just died there, leaving nothing but pools of blood.
These two guys, he didn’t even know their powers or spells before they died... Chen Yan sighed inwardly.
Just then, Kudai called out loudly to him from behind, then quickly said something else.
Chen Yan didn’t understand, but seeing Kudai’s expression, he figured—the guy wanted to exchange rooms with him.
Chen Yan shook his head, waved his hand, and walked away.
Kudai’s face immediately turned dark!
As Chen Yan walked back to the other side of the corridor, finally... he felt a sense of relief!
Ouyang’s door opened! Ouyang stepped out slowly.
He looked pale... Originally, his disguise was a face painted as white as wall plaster, but now it was like golden paper! Even his breathing seemed weak.
Chen Yan saw Ouyang, and Ouyang looked back at Chen Yan, nodding at him.
