Weird Apocalypse: Rebirth Starts with Trillions of Ghost Money

Chen Mu and the other two went up the stairs to the first floor.

The hotel is equipped with an elevator, but in such a weird scene, who would dare to take the elevator?

When Chen Mu and the other two arrived at the dining area, the other four players also arrived.

A middle-aged man and woman stood together, and Baimao stood with another man. They should be two teams that didn't know each other.

It can be seen that the two teams are very vigilant, at least no one died last night.

When the receptionist saw that everyone was present, he smiled at them, bowed and made a gesture of invitation.

"Everyone, please enjoy your meal. The meal will take half an hour. I hope you enjoy your meal."

The breakfast prepared by the hotel is not rich, but it is not shabby either.

There are two kinds of porridge, plain noodles, and wontons.

In addition, there were fried eggs, ham, shredded potatoes, and a plate of... minced meat.

Chen Mu and the other two remained calm and only chose food without meat.

The white-haired team had no reservations. After taking a bite and finding that there was no strange taste, they ate a little of everything.

Another middle-aged couple, who looked somewhat experienced, avoided meat, just like Chen Mu.

During the break in the meal, Chen Mu found an opportunity to smell the meat paste.

However, what surprised Chen Mu was that there was no smell of human flesh in the meat paste.

Didn’t the female player who died last night get turned into meat paste?

If the front desk had made meat paste out of the corpse, Chen Mu would have thought it was normal. But this was actually normal meat, which made Chen Mu a little confused.

Could it be that in this strange mission, the front desk is the player’s “safe house”?

The breakfast process was peaceful and nothing unusual happened.

Baimao came to Chen Mu and asked in a low voice:

"Hey buddy, where's the girl you were with?"

"Last night, a ghost knocked on the door and died when he opened it."

Chen Mu replied.

From Baimao's question, Chen Mu realized that these five players didn't seem to know each other.

where are they from?

Breakfast ended quickly, and the receptionist waved to the players, "Everyone, please follow me. I'll take you to that room."

Along the way, the receptionist led the way and introduced the players:

"After the couple checked out, only the boy checked out, and the girl hadn't checked out yet.

According to the rules of our hotel, the room cannot be cleaned before the guests in the room have completely checked out.

Later, the stench of a corpse appeared again. I went into the room and took a look, but I didn't find the body.

I contacted your detective agency and hope you can help me find the body.

The room has been kept in its original state. What you will see is the room left behind after the couple checks out.

As they were talking, the receptionist came to the door of the room.

Chen Mu looked at the house number and found that there was nothing unusual. There was no number like 4.

"drop!"

The front desk clerk swiped the room card and opened the door.

The moment the door opened, a strong smell of blood gushed out.

Several players covered their mouths and noses, and Chen Mu couldn't help but frown.

There must be some clues in the room!

The receptionist walked into the room and signaled the players to come in.

Chen Mu walked in first. In this situation, whoever enters the room first is most likely to find the clue.

Chen Mu glanced around the room and found that the structure of the room was no different from the one he lived in.

When the couple checked out, they took away their bags and other belongings. There were no other traces in the room except for some smashed debris.

It was obvious that the couple in the room had once had a fierce argument.

But Chen Mu did not find any bloodstains among these fragments.

The remaining players also dispersed and began searching the room.

Suddenly, Chen Mu saw a notebook on the table against the wall.

Next to the notebook, there is a standing balloon.

This balloon is connected to a stick and looks no different from the balloons held by children.

But shouldn't this kind of balloon be placed upside down on the table? Why is it standing upright?

This obvious abnormality immediately attracted Chen Mu's attention.

Chen Mu walked over and picked up the notebook. There were two words written on it:

【journal】

The handwriting is very neat, and it looks like a girl's diary.

Chen Mu opened the diary and found that it had been recorded since a year ago.

It seems that this couple's relationship started a year ago.

The diary was straightforward and there was nothing noteworthy about it. Most of the records were about the daily life of the two people's love.

Chen Mu really wanted to complain, what an idiot he was, he came here to do a weird mission, why did he have to be fed dog food?

This couple is in a long-distance relationship and only see each other once a month.

When he looked at the most recent date, Chen Mu discovered something interesting.

[4 month 3 day]

This time was a week ago.

He suspected I was cheating. Isn't trust the most important thing in a long-distance relationship?

I just wore shorts because it was too hot in the summer. Do guys really not want their girlfriends to wear shorts?

I promised him before that I wouldn't wear shorts in the summer and that I wouldn't make him jealous. Maybe I broke my promise and that made him angry.

The boys in my class bullied me and liked to pinch my waist. I got angry and pinched them back. This happened several times.

When he found out, he got even angrier and suspected I was cheating on him. How should I explain this to him?

I love him. 】

Chen Mu immediately became interested, not because he liked to watch gossip, but mainly because the couple had a conflict.

Then there is a motive for murder!

[4 month 5 day]

[I have decided. I will go meet him and save this relationship in person.

I believe that if we communicate face to face, I can definitely convince him and make him change his mind.

[4 month 6 day]

I arrived in his city and he picked me up at the station. Sure enough, he still loved me in his heart.

He said he had booked a forest hotel and we would spend three wonderful days there.

After we left the station, we took a bus to the suburbs.

After getting off the bus, we walked along the road towards the hotel.

This section of road was under construction, and there were always large trucks driving very fast. They brushed past us several times, but luckily he was there to protect me.

He was so angry that he yelled at the truck, but ended up getting a nose full of exhaust fumes and had to sulk on the side of the road. He's so cute.

When we were about to arrive at the hotel, we saw an old man setting up a stall.

The old man asked us if we wanted to buy balloons. They were three yuan each and three for ten yuan.

He called me a fool, but I thought the balloons were cute and I liked the rabbit balloon.

He still couldn't resist me and bought me a balloon. He still has me in his heart.

The old man said that this balloon has a magical function. Normally the balloon is upright, but when it encounters a ghost, the balloon will fall down by itself.

I thought the old man was a little scary, so I took his hand and left quickly with the balloon.

When we arrived at the hotel, the front desk was very welcoming and checked us in. After learning that we were a couple, they even arranged a room for us with no one on either side.

My face turned red. Was the receptionist teasing us?]

[4 month 7 day]

[The first day of staying in the hotel.

Today I explained to him that there was really nothing going on between that male classmate and me.

After I knew he was angry, I blocked that male classmate and had no further contact with him.

He still looks very angry, I hope he can forgive me. 】

[4 month 8 day]

Today, he learned about the details of my relationship with a male classmate and started to get angry. He said something like, "We're over."

I told him that the past will eventually pass and we should look forward to it. I no longer have any friends of the opposite sex.

He still couldn't get over it, so he said, "Do you remember the story I told you about the treasure under the tree?"

Of course I remember. When we first started dating, he once told me a story.

The boy and girl in the story lived happily under a big tree. One day, they heard that there was a treasure under the tree, so they secretly dug up the tree.

However, there was no treasure under the tree, only a rotting corpse. The two men pretended not to see it and buried the corpse again.

In the days that followed, the two of them continued to laugh and chat happily, but in their hearts, they both knew that there was a body buried under the tree.

He told me that I had been having an affair with someone else because I was tempted by the treasure and dug up the body. Even if we could reconcile in the future, we would both remember the unpleasantness of the past, just like the man and woman in the story remembering the body under the tree.

His eyes were cold. Did I go too far?

I'm a little scared, can we go back to the past? 】

[4 month 9 day]

[Today is our last day together. I confessed everything to him, but he is unwilling to forgive me.

Maybe I disappointed him. I wanted to be with him so much, but he was unwilling to listen to my explanations and was becoming increasingly impatient with me.

After lunch, he said he couldn't accept it and wanted to break up with me.

I begged him desperately, but he remained unmoved. Eventually, he grew tired of me and started smashing things in the house.

He smashed the water cup on the table to the ground, making a loud noise.

He has always been very patient with me, maybe I really disappointed him this time.

The receptionist heard the noise and came up to ask about it. He talked to the receptionist for a while and then closed the door.

Until late at night, I tried my best to comfort him. But he was unwilling to forgive me. He became more and more impatient with me. I saw a hint of...

Hate!

He started to dislike me and he even picked up my luggage and told me to get out of his sight immediately.

I cried, and cried very loudly.

The guest next to me went to the front desk to complain. After he received the call from the front desk, he looked very embarrassed, and the look he gave me showed even more disgust.

He said he was going to the bathroom, and I was writing in my diary at the table, crying.

Now, he came out of the bathroom with a knife in his hand!

What did I see! Oh my god, now it all makes sense, I know how this is going to end.

I cried and begged him not to do so, but he told me to put down the pen and stop writing in the diary.

"Close your eyes. I'll be quick. Trust me."

This is the last thing he said.

The diary ended abruptly here. After reading it, Chen Mu roughly understood what was going on.

When the other players saw that Chen Mu was reading the diary, they came over and stood beside him to watch.

When Chen Mu finished reading the diary, the other players present also followed Chen Mu's lead.

Everyone had a picture of what had happened in their minds.

A young couple had a quarrel, and the girl came to see the boy to ask for forgiveness. They stayed in a hotel for three days, and on the last night, the boy got so angry that he stabbed the girl to death.

This is how things happened, a bit of a melodrama with a hint of fantasy.

While other players were sighing, Chen Mu was quick to pick up the balloon on the table.

If Chen Mu guessed correctly, this balloon was the one in the diary.

If there is anything strange in the entire diary, it would probably be this balloon.

There are ghosts around, and they can fall down automatically...

Judging from the context of the diary, this strange scene shouldn't be part of a world full of strange things. At least, normal people wouldn't encounter strange things in their lives.

The life of that young man and woman was more like the life of ordinary people before the strange apocalypse.

In this normal worldview, an old man selling balloons suddenly appears, claiming that he can detect strange balloons.

No matter how you look at it, it seems like a different worldview has intruded.

Or in other words, what does the appearance of the old man imply?

Chen Mu thought back to the entire diary and found only this one thing wrong.

The more abnormalities are mixed in with the normality, the more likely it is that there is something suspicious!

Although Chen Mu couldn't tell what was wrong for the time being, he still took the balloon on the table.

"You should be able to take the things here."

Chen Mu asked Ye Changsheng.

Ye Changsheng nodded, "Yes, in the weird scenes, there will be many small props, appearing in various ways.

As long as the NPCs in the weird scene, like the reception desk, don't stop you, or there are no rules preventing you, then you can take it all.

In fact, sometimes many useful props are just placed casually in the weird scenes."

Seeing Chen Mu take the balloon, the other players reacted immediately.

That important prop was actually taken away by that kid!

They looked around, trying to take away anything else useful.

It’s a pity that the diary is also in Chen Mu’s hand.

There was nothing important in the room except the diary and the balloon.

Helplessly, the other players sighed. The way they looked at Chen Mu changed.

It can be seen that this young man has a quick mind and is always one step ahead of others in discovering important things.

This is the case with room cards, diaries, and balloons.

At this time, the front desk said:

"Dear guests, I'm going back to the front desk.

If you need anything, you can come to the front desk to find me, or call room service through the phone in your room and I will come to your room.

I hope you can help me find the body as soon as possible. I don’t want to smell this stench for another day.

I don’t know where that poor girl is hidden.”
