Chapter 160: Chapter 155 System

"Is this... what he mentioned, the base in the desolate mountains?" Xiao Yi examined the hotel in front of him with curiosity.

At this time, the barrage of comments in the livestream was buzzing with discussions.

[A hotel suddenly appearing in such a desolate place is obviously an abnormality.]

[Rule Three: Please find and enter the base in the desolate mountains before nightfall; it shall be your safe haven. It seems this is the so-called base, but... this hotel, you can tell something’s off at first glance.]

[And there’s also Rule One, the enemy cannot be defeated by any means other than using the rules’ power, which is quite a predicament. And that enemy mentioned in the rules, it looks like they could very well be here in this hotel.]

Xiao Yi, however, wasn’t so thoughtful; he nodded slightly.

"I see, this must be the so-called hotel specially made for enjoying the tranquility of nature, that’s why it’s located in such a remote place. I see, I’ve understood now."

With that, Xiao Yi stepped into the hotel without any guard up.

Upon entering, he was in the hotel’s lobby, with the reception desk to the side.

The floor here, as well as the decor, were all kept very clean. The giant chandelier in the center of the lobby and the small lamps scattered around were emitting a soft light, adding a profound and gentle atmosphere to the place.

And these undoubtedly proved that there were people here, but when Xiao Yi approached the reception desk, he found no one there.

"No one here? Then, how am I supposed to check in?"

Xiao Yi then turned towards the lobby and shouted:

"Hello! Is anyone there?"

Xiao Yi’s voice echoed continuously in the spacious corridors, reaching into the depths of the various hallways.

However, no one responded to him.

More accurately, other than the noise made by Xiao Yi himself, there was not a single other sound in the large hotel.

It was too quiet, eerily quiet to a point of abnormality.

Xiao Yi couldn’t help but sigh, "I guess the reception is in some place where they can’t hear me; why build such a big place, then? It’s impossible to find anyone. No choice, I’ll have to look for someone myself."

With resignation, Xiao Yi once again started walking, heading deeper into the hotel.

The hotel wasn’t very tall, just four floors, but it covered a large area.

This also meant that the corridors inside the hotel were sprawling and intricate.

But Xiao Yi didn’t get lost, because this was a hotel, and each room had a room number on the door.

Even rooms that weren’t for guests were clearly marked, like storage, kitchen, staff lounge, and the like, and there was an interior map posted on the wall at intervals along the corridors.

Even Xiao Yi was able to avoid getting lost thanks to this.

However, after walking around inside the hotel, Xiao Yi still hadn’t encountered anyone.

"Can’t find a single person."

Xiao Yi tried turning the doorknob of the closest guest room, but it wouldn’t budge.

"It’s locked, isn’t it?" Xiao Yi sighed, "That makes sense, the rooms that are not for guests all seem to be locked. It’s normal for this to be locked, too. I was thinking of hopping on the train and paying later, no choice then, I’ll have to look some more. If I really can’t find anyone, I’ll just kick the door down; anyway, they’re going to pay for it."

Xiao Yi withdrew his hand and just as he was about to search elsewhere, he had taken only a few steps when he involuntarily stopped again.

Because not far ahead of him, the door of a guest room was open.

The door was open inward, so Xiao Yi could see that the number on it... was 237.

But that wasn’t the point; the point was... Xiao Yi was able to see the situation inside the room, and it made him freeze in place.

Xiao Yi saw... a nude man, cuddled up on the bed... with a furry humanoid creature.

Suddenly, the creature covered in grayish-brown fur seemed to sense something, abruptly sat upright, and then turned its head to look at Xiao Yi.

It was only then that Xiao Yi got a clear look at the creature’s true face.

It had a human-like form, but its limbs were unusually long, covered entirely in grayish-brown fur. Yet its face was not human at all, rather it resembled that of a wild beast.

With an inverted triangular head and a protruding mouth, those eyes were unmistakably human, shining with a cunning light unique to humanity.

Being stared at by those eyes gave one an indescribable feeling of abnormality.

At this point, the man also sat up, looking towards Xiao Yi. His appearance was very much that of a typical human, and his demeanor exuded a capable and steady aura.

But this pair, a man and a monster, remained motionless and expressionless, just staring at Xiao Yi, leaving onlookers to guess their thoughts.

The live streaming audience, viewing through Xiao Yi’s perspective, suddenly felt as if they were being stared at by them too!

Faced with this eerie scene, many viewers felt panicked.

[Ah, what’s this... situation? I’m getting goosebumps from that thing staring at me!]

[Oh no! I’m getting the Joy Valley effect!]

[The guy in front... It’s clearly the Joy Bean effect, not the Joy Valley effect!]

[What’s going on with this instance? My closet seems to be moving! I don’t want to watch anymore!]

"Uh..." Xiao Yi was momentarily stunned, then somewhat awkwardly said to them, "Don’t worry about it, the main event hasn’t even started yet. It’s as if I didn’t see anything! The human XP system is free, and there’s nothing wrong with liking Furry and playing a bit of cosplay, I won’t discriminate against you guys. And it’s not my fault, blame the door! It doesn’t know any better! How could it open itself when you’re busy? Carry on, I’ll close the door for you right now."

Even Xiao Yi knew that it would be very embarrassing if someone accidentally saw you in such a situation.

Therefore, Xiao Yi immediately gave what he thought was an emotionally intelligent response, cleverly defusing the awkward moment and ending the incident.

Xiao Yi couldn’t help but admire himself inwardly.

[Uh... Can only say, as expected of Brother Xiao Yi, he certainly took control of the situation as soon as he opened his mouth.]

[Furry is okay, but who else could have witnessed that scene and still thought like that? How does he even know about these things?]

[With Brother Xiao Yi here, there’s nothing to fear, Brother Xiao Yi is the best!]

But as Xiao Yi was about to close the door, he blinked instinctively.

However, in that blink, everything in front of Xiao Yi suddenly changed!

The man and the creature had completely vanished, and the previously wide-open Room 237 was now tightly closed as if nothing had happened.

"...Hmm? What’s going on?"

Xiao Yi stepped forward and tried the door handle of Room 237, but it wouldn’t budge.

In such a short span of time, it would be impossible for the door to be shut and locked instantly, which puzzled Xiao Yi.

"...Hmm? Am I having a hallucination? Or did those two quickly shut the door because they were already ’at the ready’?"

It was at this moment, as Xiao Yi stood perplexed, that he caught a glimpse of a shadow flitting from the corner of his eye.

He immediately looked over and saw a figure, which seemed to be a man... or perhaps a woman, slipping away around the corner at the end of the hallway.

"Indeed... there is someone here, wait up!"

Xiao Yi quickly followed in pursuit.
