Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

The Green Shade Hotel is quite far from the University of Victoria. It is located in the Rustu area southwest of the West District. Public carriages cannot reach it directly because it passes through an area with changeable weather, which is very prone to extreme weather such as thunderstorms, hurricanes and even acid rain.

If ordinary people want to go there, they usually use a means of transportation called the Mine Subway.

A long time ago, Daklan was once a large mining area. The ancient Farik people dug a crisscrossing underground mines here. Probably because of the need to seal the evil god, mining was prohibited in the underground mines of Daklan. The Kingdom of Bryston also continued this rule, but later with the advancement of technology, about fifteen years ago, some of the existing mines were transformed into mine subways, which is amazing.

There is an entrance to the mine subway in a nearby block. It is quite restored in the game. There are icons of stairs and trains hanging on the entrance, which is easy to recognize.

The Mine Subway operates until 9 p.m. The price of taking the Mine Subway is not expensive, and there are dedicated ticket sellers. It costs 5 Winnies for one trip and 9 Winnies for a round trip, and there is no distance limit. The only regret is that there are too few stations and no seats. You have to stand the whole time, which is not very friendly for some frail ladies and the elderly.

Very advanced, but room for improvement... a fair evaluation from time traveler Zhou Ning.

The journey was very smooth, and Zhou Ning arrived at the subway station in Rustu District after more than 20 minutes.

As a region of Dakelan City where foreigners gather, the Rustu District's security is not very good. Korn Avenue there is even known as the "Murderer's Avenue." Zhou Ning stepped off the carriage, and his Observation Haki immediately caught five or six malicious glances. However, when they saw Zhou Ning playing with a revolver in his hand, they immediately disappeared.

The Green Shade Hotel is located at No. 227 at the south end of Cohen Avenue, the entrance to Murder Avenue. Zhou Ning did not encounter any trouble along the way and arrived at the door of the Green Shade Hotel smoothly.

Just like in the game, the Green Shade Hotel was a three-story building directly facing the curb next to the road. Zhou Ning adjusted the brim of his hat and walked into the hotel.

The reception counter was right at the door, and the person at the front desk was the same 50-something northern auntie from the game. She had very northern features, a rough look, and was even bigger than Zhou Ning.

"Accommodation." Zhou Ning thought for a moment, walked to the counter, and said in a low voice.

The receptionist didn't even look up as she casually pushed a registration booklet onto the table towards Zhou Ning.

"Register first for your stay. The big room costs 4 roshen per night, and the small room costs 2 roshen per night. If you don't mind sharing, it's only 5 whinnies. Of course, if you share, you'll have to be careful with your wallet and your ass."

Zhou Ning: ...

How come he didn’t know that this old lady was so tough in her previous life?

"Give me a big room. Oh, and I want it on the third floor."

Zhou Ning pulled out four Roshens from his pocket, piled them on the table, took the registration book, filled in a name at random, and flipped through a few pages casually. He then saw a name called Elvi Belle in the registration column for Room 4, which was probably Elvis's pseudonym.

"Room 306, remember to check out tomorrow at noon." The aunt swept the money on the table into her hand and handed Zhou Ning a key.

Zhou Ning walked up to the third floor through the narrow and dark corridor. The corridor on the third floor ran east-west and there were ten rooms in total. Room 304 was on the south side, just opposite Room 306.

Zhou Ning walked lightly and almost silently to the outside of Room 304, listening attentively.

After changing his job to a roaming gunner and officially becoming a super professional, Zhou Ning's senses have been significantly improved. Combined with the ability of observation Haki, he can clearly perceive that there is no movement or breathing in room 304, and there should be no one else.

After hesitating for a moment, he took Elvis's key from his pocket, inserted it into the keyhole, and twisted it gently. The door opened in response. Zhou Ning couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The window was open, but the room was still very hot, at least over 30 degrees Celsius. The room was empty. It was a normal hotel room with a bed, a row of wardrobes, a desk, a small sofa, a dressing mirror, and a gas stove on the table.

The owner of the room had obviously left temporarily, because the expensive gas stove was not turned off, and the bill on it pointed to 36 roshens. Even if there was a mine at home, it could not withstand such burning.

After walking around the room, Zhou Ning walked lightly to the head of the bed and found a suitcase near the dressing mirror. The suitcase was open, and on top was a small mirror with an antique shape.

There's nothing special about the mirror itself, but when you look at it, a prompt will appear on the panel:

Unknown Artifact [Damian's Ordinary Mirror]: This item allows you to freely enter and explore a mirrored world, but it also threatens to replace you with a ghost within, forever lost within the mirror. This item originated from the archmage Damian from the Four Heroes era, who crafted this mirror through studying ancient texts and subsequently vanished into the mirror.

Effect 1: Allows you to travel freely between the mirror world and the real world.

Effect 2: ????

This is it. Zhou Ning was delighted and carefully reached out to the mirror.

As soon as he touched the mirror, Zhou Ning felt a creepy sense of danger. There was a black shadow floating on the mirror, as if there was a monster inside the mirror that couldn't wait to break out of it.

Sure enough, all the unknown wonders in the world of apocalypse have their dangerous and weird side.

Zhou Ning didn't think about it anymore, didn't look at it anymore, tightened his grip on the mirror, and put it into the inventory without hesitation.

This thing can be studied, but it must be studied slowly in a safe and private environment.

Next, Zhou Ning turned his attention to Elvis's suitcase. After a quick look, he found that the first layer contained some simple clothes, the second layer contained some small amounts of cash, herbal powder, silver jewelry for making talismans, magic powder for casting spells, and other items.

There was another layer at the bottom, containing some scattered feathers and bones, and in addition, there was something wrapped in silk and incense.

Carefully unwrapping the silk, he revealed a palm-sized red statue wrapped inside.

This is a somewhat ferocious-looking god, with countless tentacles growing on the shoulders and sides of the body, and each tentacles has an eye carved, which is either closed or opened, densely packed.There are also two huge goat horns growing on its head.

In the world of the game "Apocalypse", goat horns are generally considered to be the symbol of evil gods. This makes it clear that this statue is the evil god Nyastra worshipped by the Curse God Cult.

At this moment, the lights in the room suddenly went out.

Immediately afterwards, a shuddering feeling suddenly came from the statue in front of him, causing his legs to go weak.

A series of prompts came from the panel:

[You have attracted the attention of the evil god Nyastra. Your Spirit is 41, your Willpower is 25, and you have failed the judgment. Your Willpower is -2.]

[You are being watched by the evil god Nyastra. Your Spirit is 41, your Willpower is 25, and you have failed the judgment. Your Willpower is -3.]

[You have been tempted by the evil god Nyastra. Your Spirit is 41, your Willpower is 25, and you have failed. Your Willpower is -4.]

Almost in an instant, Zhou Ning's willpower of 25 points was reduced to single digits.

Zhou Ning was horrified and bit his lip hard. He used the pain to finally get rid of the trembling and stiffness of his body. He hurriedly covered himself with the silk again, and the amazing force that he could not resist or face disappeared.

After wrapping up the statue again and putting it into the inventory, Zhou Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If my guess is correct, this statue is most likely also an unknown strange object, which should have a hint of the divinity of Nyastra. It was just a little bit off, and it almost failed here.

At this moment, his Observation Haki suddenly gave him an extremely ominous premonition, as if some fatal danger was approaching.

A moment later, footsteps were suddenly heard on the stairs, heading straight towards the third floor.

Zhou Ning didn't dare stay any longer and chose to retreat without hesitation. He quickly climbed out of the window onto the balcony, scrambled down the water pipe, landed nimbly, and quickly left the area, standing at the corner of the street and looking back.

There were few gas street lamps here, and Zhou Ning stood in the dim street corner, in no danger of being discovered. He saw that the light in Room 304 had been turned on again, and someone was looking outside through the window.

The man was about forty years old, had a big beard, looked unfamiliar, and was wearing a blue coat. He must be a nobleman, because there was a strict rule in this world that only nobles could wear colorful clothes.

Zhou Ning didn't dare to stay any longer and left Cohen Avenue directly, taking the Mine Tunnel subway back to the east district of the city.
