Chapter 489 [Domain - First Gate] Formal Employee
"It's time to change shifts."
The man frowned and said, "Hurry up and finish delivering the things and return to the lobby."
Chen Ji keenly noticed that he glanced at his watch again and immediately asked, "How many minutes left?"
"five."
The man said briefly.
"Change it every eight hours. You only have one day left in your internship, so you'd better not cause any trouble for me."
Is there a break during the day?
It's 11:55 PM now, so does that mean the work starts at midnight and continues all day?
"A tricycle?" Chen Ji immediately asked.
"of course."
The man gave Chen Ji a look that said, "Can you even do math?", then raised his chin, gesturing for Chen Ji to walk forward.
It was obvious that he was taking Chen Ji to room 9 to deliver something.
Chen Ji absolutely could not take another step in that direction. The two people who went in to deliver the items never came out, and it's even very likely that they died inside.
There must be a ghost in that room.
But how could this full-time employee not know about it?
Chen Ji's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show it on his face, glancing at the elevator out of the corner of his eye.
The elevator doors had already been closed.
The trolley was placed across the doorway, blocking the button to go down.
The man beside him was staring at him.
Only when Chen Ji slowly lifted his foot did he follow, keeping a distance of a few steps behind Chen Ji.
This made Chen Ji almost certain of his guess.
He didn't speak, as if he knew nothing, and walked towards room number 9 with his head down.
bang...
Bang.
The echoes of the hanged corpse and the sound of kicking at the door still reverberated in the corridor.
How many interns are there this time?
Chen asked abruptly.
Thirty-eight.
The man seemed unconcerned by the questions he was asked and answered them quickly.
Thirty-eight.
This is a high-level domain, and it's unlikely that so many people would enter at once. Considering his previous partners, Chen Ji speculated that some of them were NPCs.
What am I supposed to do on my next shift?
He asked again, his steps very slow.
This point was not overlooked by men.
"How would I know? Concierge, front desk, maintenance department... anything is possible."
The man's tone carried a hint of warning:
"You're just an intern. Do what you're told and don't ask too many questions."
"Understood," Chen Ji replied.
He then shut his mouth and remained silent until he approached the door of room number nine.
A faint, fishy smell wafted from inside the house.
Chen Ji understood perfectly.
The man's last words meant more than just about changing shifts; they were also a warning not to ask about what was in room 9.
It seems he did know there was a problem.
When Chen Ji reached the door, he stopped in his tracks.
The door had been kicked down to a mere crack by the hanged corpse's feet.
"Bring the water in."
Behind him, the man handed him two bottles of water.
Chen Ji didn't move.
A few seconds later, he glanced at his watch and said, "It's almost time for our shift to change. Can't we just leave the water at the door?"
"Are you kidding me?" The voice behind me suddenly turned cold.
"No."
Chen Ji shook his head, still with his back to the man: "Anyway, what the residents want isn't water, is it?"
The man didn't answer.
An eerie silence fell over the corridor.
Then, a soft breathing sound suddenly rang in Chen Ji's ears.
The man was now only inches away from Chen Ji.
Without a trace of expression on his face, he suddenly reached out and tried to push Chen Ji into the house!
But Chen Ji reacted even faster than him, or rather, this was exactly the moment he had been waiting for.
The passive ability of [Night Walk] made Chen Ji extremely agile. He dodged and the man missed his push. Instead, Chen Ji grabbed his arm and pushed him into room number 9!
The door was suddenly kicked open.
But in the blink of an eye, without any wind, it automatically shut off with a "bang".
In that brief moment, with the help of the light in the corridor, Chen Ji only had time to see a figure leaning on a cane deep inside the room, with his back to the outside.
It's impossible to tell whether it's male or female.
Looking at the tightly closed door of room number 9, Chen Ji knew that everything had been delivered.
The residents of room number 9 didn't want two bottles of water at all.
But two people.
The full-time employee with the mole should also know this very well.
stab-
Through the door, Chen Ji could hear the rope slowly tightening, accompanied by a series of terrified gasps, but after a few seconds, the gasps gradually subsided.
In the end, there was no sound at all.
Only two sounds remained, each with a different frequency, as the door was pounded on.
Thud, thud.
"I almost got killed as soon as I entered the domain."
Chen Ji's gaze darkened slightly.
At the beginning of the realm, ghosts may have had some limitations, but humans did not.
He didn't have time to stay there any longer. He glanced at his watch, turned around, and headed for the elevator.
Soon, Chen Ji brought the trolley down from the third-floor guest room floor to the first floor.
The lobby was already packed with people, all of them interns wearing white uniforms just like me.
Chen Ji spotted the figures he was interested in at a glance.
Liu Zi's blond hair was eye-catching. He was staring at the elevator entrance, and his expression relaxed when he saw Chen Ji.
Standing next to him were Du Tingfeng and Xu Sandao; the three of them were quite tall and could be easily spotted in the crowd.
Where is Fei'er?
Chen Ji squeezed next to them and quickly glanced around.
He already knew that there were NPCs among the hotel's interns, and that they weren't necessarily well-intentioned.
"It's right in front of us."
Du Tingfeng pointed to the first few rows: "She's grouped with the other female interns. She's too short, so she's being blocked."
After finding Fei'er, the group huddled together discreetly and quickly exchanged information.
Everyone's instructions and tasks are the same; there is no difference.
The man with the mole said that this was their last day here, meaning they only had one day to find the "door" in the mission.
They changed positions every eight hours, and changed positions three times in total.
“The guest room floor is dangerous.” Chen Ji told them about his recent experience: “There’s a high probability that more than just room 309 is haunted.”
"The biggest challenge of this mission is finding the exit door. With all the doors locked, the only way to find out which one it is is to try them blindly."
Chen even suspected that even if there was a ghost in room 309, it couldn't be ruled out that it was the door.
How do you know when you've left?
Windows, hidden doors, even concealed mechanisms... anything is possible; you'll have no way of knowing without going inside to check.
"After the shift ends, try to explore the entire hotel to see if there are any unusual doors," Chen Ji concluded.
"At least we can now rule out one door."
Xu Sandao shrugged and pointed to the hotel's main entrance, where there was a revolving glass door.
Through the glass, you can clearly see the hazy fog outside.
“Anyone can go out through this door,” Xu San said. “I’ve tried it; you can’t walk more than a few steps before you reach the edge of the domain.”
