Chapter 1: Strange Stories from the Custom Hotel 01
[Don’t even think about throwing me away, you can’t escape. 】
Su Ruan opened her eyes suddenly and looked at the familiar ceiling of the dormitory, still unable to recover.
She blinked her eyes, stretched out her hands to cover her eyes, gasped for air, and looked dazed.
Apparently he still can't tell the difference between reality and dreams.
This isn't the first time.
This wasn't the first time I dreamed about that person.
Maybe it's not right to call him a human being.
He seemed to be some kind of indescribable creature that was always caught in dreams.
"Su Ruan, do you want to go to dinner together?"
Suddenly Tang Ke, who was in the next bed, poked his head out from the hammock downstairs, shook his phone, and showed his white teeth: "Hey, I'm treating you."
The remaining two people in the dormitory also put down their mobile phones and joked: "What's the matter? What's the good news?"
Tang Ke smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, with a hint of shyness on his face: "I caught up with the senior." He puffed up his chest and said, "Humph, he is my boyfriend now."
After hearing this, Su Ruan slowly sat up from the bed.
She was still very pale, but her roommates in the dormitory were used to it.
Su Ruan's health is not good. From the beginning of school to now, she has not had a good day.
Just hit a new high today.
Su Ruan now looks more like a thin paper person.
Looking at Su Ruan's appearance, they were all worried that Su Ruan would faint on the road.
Tang Ke swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked worriedly: "Are you okay? How about we bring it back to you?"
Su Ruan was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said gently: "No, it just looks a bit serious."
"I'm fine."
In the previous eighteen years of life, Su Ruan knew better than anyone else that she could not be alone.
Once you are alone, "he" will come to you.
Su Ruan pursed her lips, got off the bed, tied up her hair casually, and followed them to a restaurant near the school.
The sun was shining brightly outside, but Su Ruan felt a biting coldness.
She subconsciously gathered her coat, as if this way she could resist the coldness.
However, the next second, a man in black suddenly rushed over from across the road.
He held a sharp knife in his hand and stabbed Su Ruan in the direction.
The people around him didn't even have time to push Su Ruan away.
She stared at the person in front of her with wide eyes, but could not see his face clearly.
The screams around her were torturing Su Ruan's eardrums, but she actually didn't feel any pain.
Perhaps it should be said that she had long been familiar with pain.
She saw the black figure running out of the body of the man in black. He held the tip of the knife and "looked" at Su Ruan with a faceless face.
【Found you. 】
Su Ruan's throat was clogged with blood, and her body was trembling.
Is it because of fear?
No.
No.
It's excitement!
Su Ruan looked at him.
Until blood filled his vision, everything was blurred.
Su Ruan's body went limp, like a kite with its string broken, and she suddenly fell to the ground.
Consciousness is gradually peeling off, and everything is distorted.
[A strong desire for survival has been detected. I would like to ask the player if he is willing to participate in the "Supernatural Actor Upgrade Game". 】
[If you don’t want to, the “Su Ruan” individual will die immediately. Players are asked to confirm within 3 seconds. 】
【3】
"I do."
Su Ruan agreed without any hesitation.
The weird voice seemed to be startled by Su Ruan's attitude, and made a tooth-wrenching "sizzle" sound.
After a while, as if receiving a message, the voice sounded again.
[After receiving the wishes of the player "Su Ruan", create a player account with "Su Ruan" as an individual. 】
[The known rules of the "Supernatural Actor Upgrade Game" will now be read out. 】
Su Ruan listened to the dinging sound in her ears and integrated the information in her heart.
【Welcome to the supernatural scene. 】
[Here, you need to play your own role, leave the plot alive, improve the plot, and be obsessed with your own character. 】
[Every performance you perform will be scored by countless audiences. The passing mark is: D. If it is lower than D, it will be failed, and the penalty is death. 】
[When you become a top "actor", we will fulfill your wishes. 】
[Do players know the rules? 】
From the moment this voice sounded, Su Ruan seemed to be locked in a black box.
There was no light around, and the only light was the font that lit up as the sound sounded.
Each font is red like blood, revealing an unknown color in a world with a black background.
The voice was like an evil ghost crawling out of hell, tempting Su Ruan to sign the contract again and again.
Su Ruan didn't have any fear in her heart.
She had always felt a different sense of alienation from the world in which she lived.
She is like a person in a condom, trying her best to act like an "ordinary person" every day.
The dream separated her from reality.
She is looking forward to change.
Looking forward to leaving too.
She had a hunch that everything she was facing now was real.
I should belong here.
Su Ruan's face was illuminated by red light, half in red and half in darkness.
Her voice sounded in the dark world, still sounding soft and weak, like a little rabbit that had strayed into a wolf's den.
Well-behaved, timid, and harmless.
Those light brown eyes looked beautiful and fragile.
Her thin lips opened slowly, like a blooming flower, becoming the only bright spot in the darkness.
"I understand, let's get started."
The strange voice didn't hesitate this time.
It answered Su Ruan almost as soon as Su Ruan's words fell.
[The script of "Ghost Story of the Custom Hotel" is now being transferred. 】
["Ghost Story of the Custom Hotel" system rating: F, system evaluation: a script suitable for newcomers. 】
[Actor "Su Ruan" please get ready, the live broadcast option is turned on. 】
[The plot is loading...]
["Su Ruan" is a social horror painter. During this period, he has fallen into a bottleneck period and cannot paint works that satisfy him. Based on Su Ruan's situation, the agent recommended this "custom hotel" to her. This is the scene of a murder, there are strange events, and the family of five who stayed in the single-family villa 404 died tragically. The agent hopes that something like this can inspire Su Ruan...]
After a moment of dizziness, Su Ruan opened his eyes again.
The weird electronic sound had stopped long ago, and what came into view was a stone road towering into the clouds.
Surrounded by dense woods, the tree canopy blocks out almost all sunlight.
Only fragments of sunlight penetrated between the leaves, forming a Tyndall effect and falling on Su Ruan's face. The light and shadow were mottled, as if Su Ruan was coated with a layer of soft light, and she was too beautiful to look like a real person.
She slowly raised her feet and stepped up the steps.
Her body had no other strange reactions. It seemed that even in this strange world, her body had not become healthy.
This is good news and bad news.
The good news is that she is more accustomed to her body. The bad news is that this body has limited physical capabilities and is really too weak.
Su Ruan's expression was unclear, and his pace was even slow.
She maintained this speed and walked to the door of the hotel.
There were already four or five people standing there talking to each other. They seemed to be the same "actors" as Su Ruan. (End of chapter)
