Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 485 Manager's Office

Chen Yi looked at it again and again but couldn't find a single clue. He could only place all his hopes on the videotape that Xu Han and the others had found last night.

Maybe if they figure out a way to play the videotape tomorrow, they can find out why the Fuling Hotel turned out this way.

"Brother Chen."

Just then, Yu Shijiu suddenly spoke up: "I see, it's a different door."

Chen Yi was startled upon hearing this.

"where?!"

Yu Shijiu glanced at him blankly and pointed to an ordinary-looking door not far away.

"It's right there, Brother Chen, didn't you see it? That door over there is obviously a darker color."

Chen Yi, who hadn't noticed anything amiss, was speechless.

He bit his dry lower lip, and the gentle smile on his face vanished completely.

Yu Shijiu saw Chen Yi shake his head at him, "I didn't see it."

Chen Yi said with difficulty, "To me, it's just a door that looks no different from the door next to it."

This means the situation is even worse now.

The manager's office was seen by randomly selected people.

This directly disrupted Chen Yi's original plan to enter the office with Yu Shijiu.

Although Chen Yi knew that Yu Shijiu would most likely be fine going in alone, he still couldn't suppress his worry.

"...That's alright."

Yu Shijiu raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Only I can see it—"

"Meow!"

Lu Chusheng, who was standing next to him, suddenly stood up and stared at the door in the distance, which was obviously much deeper than the other doors in the surrounding rooms. He let out a low meow.

Yu Shijiu, who was interrupted: "?"

"Fatty, you can see that too?"

Yu Shijiu exclaimed with delight, "Great! Then we can go in together!"

Chen Yi: "..."

He sighed inwardly, "Fine."

At least there's a cat; it's better than going in alone.

"Be careful."

Chen Yi habitually advised, "Don't try to tough it out. Use as many props as you can. Anjie and I have saved up quite a few props over the years."

Yu Shijiu nodded, "Okay."

After saying that, he handed the photos he had sorted out to Chen Yi, picked up the axe, and led "Fatty" out of the barrier.

Chen Yi, standing behind him, hesitated, but ultimately remained silent.

— Saying anything more would just make him seem like he's talking too much nonsense.

Yu Shijiu and Feifei passed through the "battlefield" where the human pig monsters and the vase girls were fighting and arrived at the door.

Unlike the door numbers on the other doors, the brass-colored door number on this door reads "Manager's Office".

Yu Shijiu looked down and exchanged a glance with "Feifei," then reached out and pushed open the door.

creak...

As the door was pushed open, thick darkness and a fishy smell seeped out from under the door.

"...Please come in."

A gentle male voice came from the darkness, "No need to push the door open so slowly, just come in."

"..."

Yu Shijiu raised an eyebrow and then pushed the door open.

More darkness poured out from the door, quickly enveloping Yu Shijiu and "Feifei" who were standing at the door.

……

Holding the newspaper and photos, Chen Yi stood there, watching Yu Shijiu and "Feifei" disappear into the darkness, his gaze involuntarily falling on the strange creatures beside him.

...Did he just see it wrong?

Why does it feel like, the moment the room door opened, everyone in the hallway—from the pretty girls to the inhuman waitresses—stopped fighting for a split second?

Chen Yi pursed his lips, remained silent, and lowered his head.

He hoped he was mistaken.

If the manager can instill all the eerie fears in the Fuling Hotel... then it means he is very likely the mastermind behind the Fuling Hotel.

And now... Yu Shijiu went to meet the manager, who was suspected to be the BOSS, alone.

hotel restaurant.

The next "race" in the restaurant has begun.

This time it was a yellow ox-man with horns, a human face, and an ox body.

The scalp man's appearance is not as outstanding as the Aries girl's; his features are ordinary, and his eyes are like stagnant water.

The moment he appeared, he quickly looked at the other selected player.

The player who was chosen was still a male player.

The male player had rather long hair, and he swallowed nervously. When the scalper turned his head to look at him, he learned his lesson and greeted him.

"You, hello."

As he spoke, the long-haired male player raised his hand in a friendly manner, fawning over the scalper man:

"How about we run to the finish line together? That way, no one will die."

He was met with the same unchanging, lifeless gaze from the scalper.

Clearly, the man with the scalper didn't care what he meant by those words. He simply lowered his head, rubbed his horns on the ground, and then walked towards the starting point of the "track" where embers were burning.

The long-haired male player, whose attempts to curry favor were ignored, turned a little pale. He knew he might not be able to outrun the scalper man and was sweating profusely with anxiety.

What to do? What to do? What to do?

How can he put himself in a winning position?

The long-haired male player was so anxious that his hands and feet started to tremble, and he couldn't come up with a way to win.

The waiters, still all smiles, looked at the long-haired male player and the scalper already standing at the starting line of the "track," and said with a smile:

"The second round of the race will begin in one minute. Sir, you can chat with our kind-hearted Uncle Scalper."

Long-haired male player: "..."

He gave a dry laugh and, under the sympathetic gazes of the other players, forced a response:

"Scalper, Uncle Scalper doesn't seem to like chatting."

The waitresses chuckled. "How could that be? Uncle Huang Niu is a very nice guy, except for his bad temper."

"..."

The long-haired male player's face turned even paler.

He suddenly began to envy the first male player's "good luck".

Although being the first one chosen might have been a bit overwhelming, he ended up with that naive and innocent Aries girl... so he won.

Although his victory was dishonorable, even disgusting and despicable, he did survive, while I...

The long-haired male player couldn't help but glance at the scalper next to him again.

The scalper didn't look at him, but just stared at the "track" in front of him with his eyes lowered, lost in thought.

"..."

This eerie silence continued until the vase-wearing waiters excitedly began their countdown.

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

"start!"

At the excited command of the "vase waiters," the long-haired male player and the scalper man at the starting line instantly rushed onto the "track."

The next second, the long-haired male player's miserable screams echoed throughout the entire restaurant.

The familiar aroma of meat wafted up once again.

This time, the players, who had already vomited to the point of exhaustion, had pale, yellowish-white faces and endured the stomach cramps caused by acid reflux without uttering a word.

Behind the curtains, Xu Han, who had finally calmed down, nudged He Lingling and whispered:

"Hey, who do you think will win?"
