Outside the window, black clouds filled the air, the wind was raging, and the mottled leaves were blown into messy shapes by the wind, as if a big tree was about to rise from the ground in the next second.

Lightning fell, illuminating this eerie, lonely hotel in the wilderness.

Bai Lixin was wearing a silk pajamas, leaning lazily on the back of the chair, his eyes swept around.

This is the lobby of the hotel. There are seven people, including him, sitting around a round table, with a piece of paper and a pen in front of everyone.

An old man, a high school boy, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, a girl in a floral long skirt, a young man with a small head with a flamboyant arm, and a young man in a surgical gown.

Everyone's eyes were filled with confusion and panic.

Confused because I don't know why it is here.

The panic was because a large rattan suitcase was placed in the center of the hall.

The suitcase was open, and a long-haired woman was pale, her limbs folded in an extremely twisted posture.

The woman was wearing a red dress, with obvious five-finger pinch marks on both sides of her neck, and varying degrees of bruising and corpse spots on her body.

Should have been strangled.

Everyone frantically looked at this weird room and the strangers around. When they saw Bailishin, everyone's eyes showed a surprising color, and even the fear on their faces was diluted a lot.

Bai Lixin looked only about twenty-one or two years old, with stunning facial features, but no feminine feeling.

He is slender and handsome, and there is a lazy aristocratic temperament in his gestures. He just sits there idly and gets all the attention.

The slender black eyes are like seawater covered with a layer of mist, mysterious and unpredictable.

Xu Shi was just woken up, and the young man leaned lazily on the back of the chair. He lowered his eyes, his thick black eyelashes trembled slightly in the air, and there were some ripples at the end of his eyes. The dim yellow light swept down, shining on his soft flax hair, shrouded in a hazy golden light.

Absolutely beautiful and pure.

It is like a stunning artwork placed in a museum, and like a Moxian walking out of a picture scroll.

Ding!

When several people were absent-minded, an abrupt prompt sound suddenly appeared in everyone's mind.

The next second, the electronic sound rang.

Welcome to the immersive escape game. I am the service system that will accompany you to the end of the game. This round is a warm-up mini-game, you can enter the first trial task after clearing the level, and you can enter the game lobby after the trial task is completed.

Post the background of the story below.

One rainy night, you trapped seven strangers in a hotel. You found a female corpse in the hotel, and the murderer was among the seven of you.

The time limit is 24 hours, please do not leave the hotel during the game, otherwise it will be regarded as a foul and the offender will be punished.

Punishment: Beheading.

The game process has been synchronized to the novice area in the game live room. I wish all players a happy game.

The electronic sound came to an abrupt end.

The radio in the hotel issued a rather old-fashioned "thorn, tick, tick" current sound, "The following is a notice of missing persons. The characteristics are as follows: female, thin, about 165 in height, long hair, 20 years old, and when she disappeared. Wearing a red dress, with a slight history of mental illness, please call 01-xxxxx if you find it, and you must be very grateful."

The announcer's voice was icy and chilly, and there was a burst of thunder outside the window, so frightened the girl in the floral dress covered her head and screamed, "Where the hell is this? I was still in the office just now, have we been kidnapped? ?"

However, her question obviously had no effect, and the response to her was five faces.

Everyone doesn't know how they got here, and everyone's face is not very good-looking.

The man in the suit looked around and took a deep breath: "Otherwise, everyone will tell me how they came here? Even if they are kidnapped, with certain information, they can know why we encountered this."

The icy current sound came from above their heads just now, but he looked up and saw that there were no wires at all except for the triangular beams that were about to fall apart, and even the lights illuminating this inn were old-fashioned kerosene lamps.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, the man in the suit continued, "Since it's my proposal, I'll come first. My name is Zhou Guang, I'm a lawyer. I just finished a court session today, and I was driving back a second ago. on the way home."

After the man in the suit finished speaking, the air fell silent again.

He licked the corners of his dry lips a little embarrassedly, looked around and put his eyes on the girl in the floral skirt. Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by a roar.

The flower-armed man slapped the table: "Fuck, kidnap ass! If kidnapped, can we sit here? Which TV show isn't kidnapping tied hands, legs, and faces?"

Everyone looked at each other.

"Are you stupid?" The flower-armed man took out his mobile phone from his pocket, "If it is difficult to find the police, can't you call the police?"

Zhou Guang was stunned for a moment.

cell phone? Is it still there? Why didn't he think of it?

Not only Zhou Guang, but also the old man, the girl, the man in the surgical gown, and the high school boy who had been sitting just now took out their mobile phones from their pockets.

After a while, five mobile phones were placed on the table,

The signals in the upper right corner all show a big "x".

"What the hell is this old forest in the mountains that doesn't give a shit, doesn't even have a signal." The flower-armed man threw his mobile phone on the table, "It doesn't work, don't waste your energy."

The hope that had just been ignited was extinguished again.

"My name is Shen Gudao, and I am a retired university teacher." When he thought the atmosphere had returned to freezing point, the old man said, "I was practicing calligraphy before I came here."

"Also, I'm not the murderer."

The old man tucked his right sleeve into the middle of the table, revealing his ink-stained cuff.

His hands kept shaking: "I have Parkinson's, and I can't even hold a pen. How can I kill a young woman and stuff her in a suitcase."

The two of them spoke one after another, and the girl in the floral skirt spoke, "My name is Li Cancan, I am 25 years old this year, and I am working as an intern in an information company. Before I came here, I was working overtime in the company."

After she finished speaking, she added: "I'm not a murderer either."

High school boy: "My name is Xia Chi, a student. I just finished the college entrance examination. I have never killed anyone."

The man in the surgical gown was wearing bloody latex gloves on his hands. When it was his turn, he quickly took off the gloves and gave a stiff smile, "I, my name is Liang Xi. Yes, I'm a veterinarian. , I was cutting the ball for the male cat when I came. This blood is cat blood, not human blood! I didn't kill people."

Although the introduction is very sloppy, at least the name and occupation are known.

In the hall, only the flower-armed man and the good-looking young man were left unintroduced.

The flower-armed man said irritably, "My name is Yang Hao, I'm in the business of capital transfer, so I don't bother to kill people."

Li Cancan repeated, "Fund circulation?"

The man in the suit pursed his lips and explained: "It is commonly known as 'loan usury'. I have fought several such lawsuits before, and loan sharks like to give themselves a high-sounding name."

The tattooed man glared at Zhou Guang, "That's what you want me to do, what's the problem?"

"You can't be the murderer, right?" Shen Gudao, a retired teacher, paused and said, "Isn't there often a case of debt collectors killing debtors because they borrowed loan sharks and still can't pay?"

Everyone looked at the flower-armed man in unison.

The flower-armed man was not happy anymore, he glared at Shen Gudao, "Damn old man, don't spit blood here, which eye did you see me killing someone?"

The flower-armed man tapped the table vigorously with his fingertips. He anxiously took out the soft leather Huazi from his pocket, smoked one, and scolded the old man with the cigarette between his index finger and middle finger: "One more word, it will be uneven. I really want to kill."

White smoke rose from the cigarette butts into the air.

The old man's face turned pale for a while, and he shivered and didn't speak anymore, but everyone's complexion changed, and the eyes that looked at the flower-armed man were full of suspicion.

In the hall, there was no sound other than the whistling outside.

The girl covered her nose and bit her head and said, "Well, can you put out the cigarette?"

The flower-armed man glared at her: "This is Hua Zi!"

Immediately afterwards, his fierce eyes swept around, "What kind of eyes do you have? Do you suspect me?! You wait for me, I'll call the police now. It's the 21st century, how could the signal still not be covered? The place?"

He said with a cold snort, picked up his phone, walked to the window, and suddenly opened the window.

In an instant, strong winds poured in from all directions.

The kerosene lamps were blown up and down, and the shadows of the crowd were reflected on the walls, barking frantically like aliens with claws and claws.

There was a lot of wind by the window, and the man with flower arms was looking for a signal on his mobile phone. The cold wind poured in from the window, causing Li Cancan to shrink his shoulders physiologically.

The man in the suit was about to close the window when he saw this, but the man with the flower arm suddenly shouted, "Come here, there is a signal here!"

I saw that his left hand holding the phone had already stretched out of the window, "Grass, it's almost there."

Hua Zi was kept in his mouth by him, and the cigarette butts burning under the strong wind were extraordinarily bright.

Immediately after, he cursed vaguely, his eyes fixed on the screen.

The man in the suit, the old man, and the veterinarian quickly got up and came behind the man with the flower arm when they heard the words, and found that the signal was beating back and forth between the first frame and the "x".

Several people's eyes suddenly lit up.

He was right, there really is a signal here!

No matter who locked them in this ghost place, as long as there is a signal, they can call for help, and the police will be able to find them based on their location!

"I advise you, don't get too close to the outside." Just when everyone was overjoyed, a voice came from behind everyone.

The voice was slightly hoarse and lazy, as soft as a Persian cat just woken up.

When everyone turned around, they saw the beautiful young man in pajamas standing up, dragging the chair back a few centimeters to avoid the air vent, "The system said just now that you will be punished for leaving the hotel."

The flower-armed man was still leaning against the window with one hand, and his body had already stretched out most of the time.

Although he didn't believe the young man's words, he was still amazed by the beauty of the other party. The flower-armed man couldn't help but soften his voice: "Little beauty, are you worried about my brother? Don't be afraid, my brother will protect you."

The wind was raging outside the window, screeching the clothes of the flower-armed man.

The flower-armed man held up his mobile phone, grinned and looked up and down Bai Lixin with malicious eyes, "When brother rescues you, you should thank brother well. I'm not afraid of these tricks.

And doesn't it say leave? My feet are still in the house, so it doesn't count as leaving."

Before he could finish speaking, a cold light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes.

Ding! The player was found to have violated the rules of the game and has been punished. Punishment: Beheading.

A chubby head fell from the air, and the next second, the man with the flower-armed body fell to the outside of the hotel under the action of gravity.

Once again, players are reminded, please abide by the rules of the game and are not allowed to leave the hotel.

Everyone stared blankly at the scene that suddenly happened in front of them.

The air was dead silent.

The flower-armed man's expression is very strange, half with a wretched smile, and half with the fear of death.

The two expressions were intertwined, causing his entire face to contort ferociously.

On the corpse on the ground, the neck was cut neatly by something, and blood spurted out from the neck!

The man in the suit was the first to come to his senses. He quickly closed the window with trembling arms, and took the lead to sit back in his seat. The others also returned to their seats in confusion after a while.

A few seconds later, Li Cancan finally broke down and raised his head to cry, "What the hell is this, I just don't want to go to work, but compared to this, I'd rather go to work."

The faces of the others were also not very good-looking.

The flower-armed man told them just now that this ghost voice was not bluffing at all.

They may have really fallen into some weird game that cannot be explained by science, and this game is more severe than they imagined, and it cannot tolerate others using text loopholes to play tricks on it!

So what the system said just now is true? Is there really a murderer lurking in them? !

For a moment, the scalp of the people who realized this was numb, and when they looked at the people around them, their eyes were already vigilant.

"My name is Bai Lixin," the beautiful young man said when everyone almost collapsed, "I'm an administrator, I was sleeping before I came here."

The young man's voice was still lazy, as if he couldn't lift his spirits.

He leaned on the back of the chair, his dark eyes were calm, and he didn't seem to be surprised or afraid of the strange things happening in front of him.

Infected by the calmness of the youth, the emotions of several people in the panic gradually eased a lot.

Li Cancan stared straight at Bai Lixin's slender neck: "Your surname is Bai?"

Bai Lixin: "No, my surname is Baili, and my single name is Xin, the Xin of King Zhou Di Xin."

The crowd suddenly realized.

Maybe it's the benefit of living longer. The old teacher calmed down first and said solemnly, "Maybe the murderer is the man with flower arms who died just now. I remember his name seems to be Yang Hao."

"I just suspected him just now, and he went to the window in a panic. If he wasn't guilty, why would he be so urgent? He just said he was looking for a signal. Is it possible that he saw the murder of the murderer and used the signal as a sign? The excuse to observe the terrain is actually to find the right time to escape?"

In one sentence, everyone's heart was brought to their throats again, and even Li Cancan stopped crying.

Li Cancan: "Yes, yes, the old man is right, that Yang Hao is too suspicious. And didn't the system just say it, this is just a warm-up game. It's definitely not difficult, the murderer should be Yang Hao."

After a few people thought about it, the more they thought about it, the more suspicious Yang Hao became.

"But you can't jump to conclusions without direct evidence," Liang Xi nervously licked the corners of his dry lips. "The system says that the one with the most votes and the one who fills in the wrong one will be punished."

"If, if we make a mistake, we will end up with Yang Hao."

The scene fell into silence again, and a sense of oppression squeezed everyone's nerves in this stiff air.

"Can I check the time on your phone?" A lazy voice came from the old teacher's side, "I didn't take my phone with me when I slept."

The old teacher broke free from fear and looked up to find that Bai Lixin had stood behind him at some point.

Bai Lixin was about 185 feet tall, and the other party looked at him with warm and jade-like eyes, and the old teacher even vaguely saw the stars inside.

Shen Gudao's hands trembled a little because of Parkinson's. He turned on the phone and raised it upwards, "It's 20:18 in the imperial capital."

Bai Lixin looked at the phone screen calmly.

Huaguo Mobile is written in the upper left corner, signal and power are displayed in the upper right corner, and there are two rows of time displays in the middle of the screen.

20:18 Teijin time

2025/09/16

Bai Lixin asked the others again: "Are you also on this point?"

The others looked at their phones and nodded in unison.

Bai Lixin's long eyelashes trembled slightly in the air, restraining the expression in his pupils. He didn't say anything, just walked straight to the corpse.

The thought of spending 24 hours in the hotel with this corpse made everyone feel goosebumps.

Just when no one dared to move, Shen Gudao stood up tremblingly and walked behind Bailishin, "The corpse won't lie, let's see what clues are on the corpse first."

Old Shen's face turned pale, but he still held back and watched for a while, "There are two handprints on the neck of the corpse. The handprints are slightly larger, which can rule out Li Cancan, who has a smaller palm."

Li Cancan let out a long sigh of relief.

Bai Lixin continued: "In addition, the color of the handprint is very dark, and the neck of the deceased is a little deformed. It can be seen that the killer's strength should be very strong."

Zhou Guang, a man in a suit: "Then exclude Teacher Shen."

Of the seven suspects, only five remain.

Shen Gudao looked at it for a while and then returned to his seat, "I am old, and my observation skills are not meticulous, so I can see so much."

Not long after, Bai Lixin also left the body. He circled the hotel lobby and sat back to his seat.

The lazy eyes swept across the crowd, but now it is as sharp as a steel knife: "I know who the murderer is!"

The five pairs of eyes looked at Bai Lixin almost at the same time.

Outside the window, a flash of lightning flashed across, followed by a loud bang!

Amidst the thunder and lightning, the sky seemed to have broken through a hole, and the torrential rain crashed down, making the windows rattle.

The kerosene lamp flickered a few times, and the room flickered, merging half of Bailishin's body into the darkness.

Bai Lixin's index finger lightly clasped the table, making a rhythmic tapping sound.

Li Cancan glanced at Bailishin's hand. His five fingers were fair and well-defined, and the length and thickness of each knuckle were just right, making people unable to look away.

The flickering light fell on Bailishin's face, and the thick eyelashes cast a shadow, covering the expression in his eyes.

Zhou Guang asked eagerly, "Who is the murderer?!"
