"The person disappeared?"
At this mont, outside Room 88, Li Yang, Tong Qian, and Ah Nan were all taken aback.
They saw with their own eyes that Yang Jian, who had been standing near the doorway, rapidly faded away, becoming more and more translucent, until he astonishingly vanished in front of them.
The living room inside the room was empty, leaving no trace, and a living person had mysteriously disappeared.
"What happened? He was perfectly fine just now. Shouldn't we go in and take a look? We can't just watch Yang Jian disappear." Tong Qian's face changed, unable to comprehend the situation.
Li Yang stopped him: "There's sothing weird about this room, sothing invisible. Rushing in could cause us to disappear like the Captain. But I believe the Captain is safe for now. If he faced any danger, he would've acted earlier."
"Let's not wander around. We should wait here a bit longer. I believe the Captain can find a way to leave this room."
Then, Li Yang turned to Ah Nan behind him: "You've been here for over sixty years. Don't tell you don't know any intel about Room 88."
"I really don't know. If I did, I would have warned you."
Ah Nan said, "Perhaps I've entered this room before, but I shouldn't have walked out alive. Otherwise, my past information should have been recorded, so I wouldn't risk entering a room with unclear data when trying to escape here."
"Your words always have many loopholes. We've just chosen not to argue with you. But if you deliberately hide or deceive us, I won't let you get away with it." Li Yang said coldly.
"I understand your power. Eliminating or others wouldn't be difficult at all. But don't forget, even if we die here, we can resurrect. It will just cost so extra ti, and for you, I'm rely a small accident in countless resurrections."
"I'm willing to cooperate with you because I believe your appearance can break this curse and end certain things, but it doesn't an I'm entirely at your rcy."
Ah Nan said very frankly, showing no fear.
"You have the right to say this because you're trapped in the Caesar Grand Hotel, under a curse. If you wish to leave, I advise you to maintain so respect for us. The outside world isn't as simple as you think. Offend us, and I will make you feel staying here is better than being outside."
Li Yang squinted slightly: "Here, we're stronger than you, and the sa goes for outside, unless you plan never to leave here, so adjust your attitude."
Ah Nan's expression changed.
It seed Li Yang's words had touched his weakness. He nodded and said, "I understand. I'll cooperate more in the future."
"I hope so," Li Yang replied.
While they waited outside,
Yang Jian was trapped alone in Room 88.
There was clearly a door, yet it wouldn't open.
It was like a cage; once inside, there was no way out, and Yang Jian didn't even know how he got in. He had just watched a TV show, and suddenly it was as if he had entered the screen.
Moreover, the TV before him now seed broken and would no longer turn on.
Could it an the way out no longer existed?
Yang Jian remained calm. Always read at the source—*.
After all, he was only trapped at the mont and hadn't been attacked by any specters, so the situation wasn't too dire yet.
"If this is the real Room 88, then I can't be the only one trapped here. The Ah Nan outside and Zhu Jian ntioned being trapped here for decades; they must have entered Room 88."
"But they likely couldn't get out alive, so they must have left so information before dying."
Realizing this, Yang Jian imdiately began to search.
The living room was empty, with just a leather sofa and the old TV on the floor.
But when he entered the bedroom, his eyelid couldn't help but twitch.
This bedroom was unlike the previous one.
There was no bed, or perhaps it had been dismantled, leaving only a pile of wood, while a piece of cloth lay on the ground, seeming to be from the dismantled bedding.
On this cloth were densely written ssages.
The ssages were written in blood, which had decayed over ti, leaving dark marks. These marks varied in age but were neatly arranged, showing no signs of being disturbed or damaged. Clearly, they had been deliberately preserved, and the handwriting varied, with different signatures.
Not just one person had left information here before dying.
"My na is Chu Nan. It seems I'm trapped here. I've tried everything to leave Room 88... But don't worry, after every death, I resurrect in Room 701."
"My na is Chu Nan. I've seen the previous ssage. This is my second ti being trapped here. I've tried all thods, still unable to leave, but I'm surprised this isn't my first ti here, and knowing I can resurrect, what should I worry about? I choose to kill myself."
"My na is Zhu Jian. Indeed, I'm not the only one trapped here. I can't leave either, but since Chu Nan can resurrect in Room 701, I suppose I can too."
"My na is Chu Nan. This is my third ti being trapped here, truly frustrating. I can't leave ssages after death, so I keep mistakenly entering Room 88. I've given up. Since I haven't found a way out in my past two attempts, I undoubtedly won't find one this ti. I intended to leave so ssages, but it's futile in Room 88. I choose to kill myself."
"My na is Dong Yulan. Seems I'm not the first unfortunate one here, and I'm also trapped. But luckily, there are others here, and knowing I can resurrect gave newfound hope."
"..."
Yang Jian studied these ssages carefully. Clearly, many had died in this room, with Ah Nan dying the most frequently. Since leaving ssages held little effect, subsequent entrants had stopped recording crucial information here, leaving just entries noting the number of tis.
He noticed one piece of information:
Ah Nan's resurrection room was 701, while outside he claid it was Room 101.
Sothing didn't add up.
That ant Ah Nan was likely lying.
"Room 701 is Xiang Lan's resurrection place. Ah Nan deliberately ntioned it as his own, so Room 101 is likely where Xiang Lan resurrects. He's swapping room information intentionally," Yang Jian thought.
However, that was a minor issue for now. He needed to find more useful clues.
He continued reading.
More and more people were trapped in this room.
Yang Jian saw Zhu Jian's na appear, though not often; Ah Nan and Dong Yulan were the frequent ones.
The oddest thing was Wang Genquan, whose na never appeared.
aning, he had never died here.
Yang Jian kept looking.
Finally, he found an entry from Zhu Jian: "This seems to be my third ti being trapped here. This ti I refuse to just die here. I need to find a way out... I believe the only escape is through the TV in the living room."
The ssage stopped abruptly and continued: "I failed; I can't leave, but I discovered that the ghost isn't in the TV. It's sitting on the sofa; I saw it....."
The information stopped abruptly, suggesting Zhu Jian was killed by a ghost after writing it.
"The ghost isn't in the TV but on the sofa? Maybe useful, but I want to know not about ghosts in Room 88, but the nature of this place itself."
Yang Jian shook his head slightly, made a ntal note, and continued reading.
Many entries were from over the decades, but most were unhelpful, with people like Ah Nan and Zhu Jian only occasionally leaving marks after multiple entries.
Clearly, seeing the previous ssages, they were too lazy to elaborate.
As Yang Jian studied the ssages closely,
In the living room behind him,
Under the dim light, a cold and eerie figure silently sat on the sofa, wearing a smile on its blurred face, gazing unblinkingly ahead at the old TV on the floor.
