(Vacation Hotel)
Edited by Silver Wind
【 Congratulations, you have found the deceased 】
【 Hold on for a mont please, the rescue team will be arriving soon 】
Everyone at the scene heard the answer.
After their shock subsided, the players revealed a smile from gaining a new life after experiencing a calamity.
The Doctor rubbed his neck: "Thank goodness, fortunately, I don't have to beco a NPC."
After the Businessman was done smiling, he thought of an issue.
"We gave two different answers, there's definitely one side that is wrong." The Businessman gazed at the pair of players, "Which side got it wrong?"
Internet Celebrity gave him a look that questioned if it was even necessary for him to think about such a problem. "Naturally, we are the ones in the right."
The Doctor agreed with her. "They chose a pot, it's basically a joke, alright? How is the pot a person?"
The Businessman nodded, choosing to believe that he had answered correctly as well.
However, he inexplicably felt a hint of ominous air.
In order to ensure that no new problems would crop up unexpectedly, the players sat around the firepit and lowered their heads in silence, waiting for the arrival of the rescue team.
Shen Dongqing tilted his head, leaning against Zhou Wenyan's shoulder as he muttered under his breath: "I'm still really hungry."
Turning his head sideways, Zhou Wenyan kissed him on the cheek: "We'll be going out soon."
The Internet Celebrity seated opposite of them heard his words and rolled her eyes. Suppressing her voice, she said: "What are they pretending for? The ones who guessed wrongly can't go out at all, they must be jesting."
However, on the silent snowy grounds, everyone by the firepit could hear her voice.
The Doctor agreed with what the Internet Celebrity said but he did not give any opinions because he did not want to provoke these two individuals who were not to be trifled with. When all was said and done, why should he find more trouble for himself when he was about to leave?
Only the Internet Celebrity seed to think otherwise as she continued to rattle on without an end.
Shen Dongqing closed his eyes and murmured to himself: "Why does it feel like there's a fly buzzing around?"
Zhou Wenyan lifted his eyes and glanced over.
Upon encountering Zhou Wenyan's gaze, the Internet Celebrity was imdiately startled and she went stiff. She had a premonition that if she continued talking, she would not have a good ending.
Hence, she shut her mouth tightly, no longer daring to say another word.
The area surrounding the firepit descended into silence again which made Braided Pigtails' movents more pronounced.
Braided Pigtails did not seem to know the concept of fatigue as she held onto her soup ladle and stirred ceaselessly, and a smiling face could be seen tumbling about inside the pot.
It was unknown when Borg and Leo got out of their restraints but they did not do anything to the players either. Instead, they stood by the soup pot with their lips pulled up, exposing an exaggerated and strange grin.
When the Doctor looked over his shoulder to look, he was frightened into turning his head back again.
The players continued to wait with palpable anxiety.
They did not know how much ti had passed when they finally heard a loud, continuous noise coming from below their position on the snow-capped mountain.
The Internet Celebrity could not wait to poke her head out to check and saw an entire rescue team walking over, causing her to wave her hands enthusiastically in an instant: "Hey—we're over here!"
Maybe because the wind and snow was too big, the rescue team below did not hear Internet Celebrity's voice and they routed around the bottom of the snow-capped mountain once before they slowly made their way upwards.
As she witnessed the rescue team going further and further, Internet Celebrity complained: "Why are they so unprofessional?"
The Doctor laughed. "Never mind that, it's already considered a good thing that we can get out."
Touching his belly, the Businessman said: "When we go out, I'll treat you guys to a big al."
Once he was done speaking, the Businessman thought about the bowl of soup he had previously drank and his complexion beca a little rigid.
The other players seed to think of the sa point as their visages deepened.
The Doctor took the initiative to speak: "Actually, we didn't eat anything."
Internet Celebrity nodded her head hastily, "Yes, that's right, we were rely waiting here for rescue, we don't know anything."
The Businessman felt like he had been relieved of a heavy load and he said unhurriedly: "That's more like it. We are all survivors of an aviation accident, it's a matter of course that we mutually help each other. After we go out, I'll invest in a television series and invite you to be the female lead."
In an instant, a smile flowered on the Internet Celebrity's visage. "Then I'll really have to thank this boss."
They appeared to be conversing joyously.
However, they did not realise that they had already forgotten their player identities as they acted out the identities that the ga issued them, like they had been fully integrated into the copy.
At the side, Borg and Leo had their heads raised as well and that creepy smile was ever present on their face as their deep and dark eyes stared at the three people's backs in a fixated and unblinking fashion.
Braided Pigtails raised a ladle full of soup and crooned out a tune: "It's done, it's almost done, the soup is almost done cooking……"

Shen Dongqing was taken care of extraordinarily well. The rescue team mbers were terribly afraid of him being hungry and cold, thus,they kept offering him hot water and bread until both of his hands were utterly full. Owing to the fact that he had gone hungry for too long, he was akin to a hamster with two puffed up cheeks that were packed with soft bread.
Feeling his hands itch, Zhou Wenyan could not resist the urge to poke his cheek.
Shen Dongqing raised his head, sowhat confused. "Wuu……" was the only sound he could make, considering how his mouth was completely stuffed with bread.
Zhou Wenyan chuckled, "Eat slower."
To that, Shen Dongqing raised his hand and held his half-eaten bread in front of Zhou Wenyan's mouth.
Zhou Wenyan took a bite from the offered bread.
The pair fed each other a mouthful of food happily, while the other three players had beco stupefied.
The Internet Celebrity's voice beca sharper as she yelled, "We're over here! Don't you see us!"
The Businessman could not tolerate it any longer as he roared out: "Hurry up and co over here, or else I'll file a complaint against you!"
The Doctor was even more straight-forward; he went up to pull at the rescue team mber that was closest to him, only to find that his hand went through them and he could not touch them at all.
He stared at his own hands, dazed. "Could I have died?"
Irate, the Businessman shouted: "How could that possibly be! I won't die!"
The Doctor said: "Right, yeah, we won't die, but…… I'm really hungry."
Despite saying that, the bread in Shen Dongqing's hands did not rouse his appetite in the least, and it seed like he could only fill his stomach with sothing else.
Internet Celebrity's expression beca vacant as well. "Hungry, hungry ah."
The two turned back simultaneously to look in Braided Pigtails' direction.
At that mont, Braided Pigtail replicated Lisa's mannerisms perfectly as she asked in a soft voice: "Do you want to drink so soup?"
"Want, want!"
The Internet Celebrity and Doctor threw themselves over, fighting to get there first as if they feared being last, and they completely forgot about the existence of the rescue team.
Only the Businessman persevered in asking for help from the rescue team.
However, the rescue team never acknowledged the presence of the trio from beginning to end as they brought Shen Dongqing and Zhou Wenyan down the snow-capped mountain.
As the Businessman watched their fading backs, he knelt on the ground: "Were we the ones who chose the wrong option……?" He turned his head, wanting to find Borg and Leo but those two had disappeared a long ti ago. Instead, what greeted him was the voracious faces of the Internet Celebrity and Doctor.
"Hungry…."
"I'm so hungry……"
But there was no food left in the pot. The ravenous pair threw down the soup pot and fixed their eyes on the pot-bellied businessman, a fiery light erging in their eyes imdiately.
Edible.
Food…….
The soup pot was hung up above the firepit again, and the soup began to boil once more.
Gu lu gu lu.
Internet Celebrity, Doctor and Braided Pigtail sat around the firepit, motionless, resembling wax figures that were without souls. It was only when the players were arriving that they beca animated again as they issued their lines.
Braided Pigtails was wearing a smile on her face: "Do you want a bowl of soup?"
"You're asking who we are? I'm Lisa."
"I'm Borg."
"Leo."

"We would like to sincerely apologise for making the two of you suffer such a fright. We will arrange a separate flight to send the two of you to your destination."
"In order to compensate you, we will raise you to VIP clients for free, and if you have any needs, please do not hesitate to raise them……"
The heater was blowing warm air.
Shen Dongqing removed his outer coat and scarf, half-lying on the seat.
Zhou Wenyan pulled him into his embrace with his arm, allowing Shen Dongqing to rest more comfortably.
The bus was swaying slightly. Drifting between his consciousness and dreams, Shen Dongqing asked: "How did you know that the answer was the pot?"
Zhou Wenyan opened his eyes: "Kiss
and I'll tell you."
Shen Dongqing blinked his eyes once and his curled lashes were like small fans that scratched at his heart, making it itch.
Before he could decide if he wanted to get up to kiss him, Zhou Wenyan had already moved on his own accord. He lowered his head and kissed his eyelashes gently before he left a trail of kisses all the way down to his mouth. And only when he was done tasting every inch of him, did he move away with lingering reluctance.
"Four tents, three people." Zhou Wenyan explained slowly and thodically after he had claid enough of the price. "It's that simple."
Shen Dongqing slanted his head. "Why couldn't I think of it?"
Zhou Wenyan used two fingers to clip a newspaper that had been folded into a stack and he unfurled it for his viewing.
A paragraph of small words were written on top.
【 …… Twelve days ago, an airplane crashed near a snow-capped mountain and the casualties are unclear but three survivors have been found and rescued. According to the survivors' statent, the three of them were backpackers who were fond of travelling, thus, they had better physiques and they had been equipped with goods and materials fit for camping which allowed them to hold on until the rescue team arrived. However, the curious thing is that the backpackers had set off as four people but now, only three people were left while the last person's whereabouts remain unknown. 】
"The person who disappeared was in the pot." Zhou Wenyan said.
Shen Dongqing seed lost in thought: "Which ans that 'the deceased is your midst' that the ga said had actually beco a pot, and it had not turned into a person!"
Zhou Wenyan nodded his head.
There were two pieces of information that were not necessarily wrong which misled the players.
The first was "fifteen days" – it made the players believe that they had ample ti and there was nothing they had to be anxious about, but the truth of the matter was that an avalanche would occur on the third day and their mories would be completely wiped out as they started over again. The players were capable of persisting through the first round without drinking the soup, but being put through the cycle endlessly would eventually make the players lose their reason from hunger, resulting in the consumption of the NPCs' soup.
As long as they drank the soup, it completely eliminated the possibility of them clearing the ga.
The second was "the deceased is in your midst
