Chapter 131: Extra: The Five-Person Group Assembles
Chapter 131
066 made two rustling sounds, and the next second, Gu Wanyin felt the world spinning around her.
It wasn't until she was about to throw up from all the spinning that she finally crashed heavily onto the ground.
Damn it, that bastard 066, taking personal revenge.
Gu Wanyin rubbed her temples and got up from the ground.
As expected, she was greeted by the gloomy environment of the horror world.
In front of her stood a building that looked like a haunted house, with three large characters written above the main door: "Transit Station."
She had heard about it before when she was running a supermarket in the horror world. The transit station was a place where players in the horror world could rest.
Logically, she should have entered a dungeon directly upon entering the horror world.
Perhaps it was because of her special status that she came to the transit station first.
Gu Wanyin organized her backpack and then walked in.
The interior of the building was also dilapidated, with mottled walls in the lobby and cobwebs everywhere. Fortunately, there were no unpleasant odors.
Gu Wanyin noticed a reception desk over there, behind which sat an old man wearing glasses, reading a newspaper.
So she walked over and politely asked, "Excuse me, sir, may I ask how to enter a dungeon?"
Hearing her voice, the old man slowly put down his newspaper, turned to look at her, his glasses gleaming eerily.
"What's your name?" the old man spoke, his voice hoarse.
"Gu Wanyin."
"What Wanyin?"
"Gu Wanyin."
"Gu what yin?"
"Gu Wanyin!"
"Gu what?"
Gu Wanyin: "..."
Damn this "Ma Dongmei" literature!
She took a deep breath and then, using all her strength, shouted: "GU WANYIN!"
The old man seemed startled by her, his whole body shaking. He glared at her and said, "I heard you, why are you shouting? This old man isn't deaf."
Gu Wanyin: "?"
Where are your manners?
The old man opened a laptop and started typing on it.
Gu Wanyin's mouth twitched.
She felt that the laptop looked completely out of place here.
"Oh, I found it. Your dungeon opens at noon tomorrow. You can now check into room 404 upstairs. There's a clock in the room, so keep an eye on the time yourself. Don't get scared witless when you suddenly enter the dungeon."
Probably still unhappy about Gu Wanyin's shout earlier, the old man's words were laced with sarcasm.
Gu Wanyin couldn't be bothered to argue with him, she just asked, "Do I need to pay? And what about the room key?"
"Lodging is free, but you need to exchange spirit orbs for food. There are no room keys in the transit station, all rooms are the same. You're in the horror world now, what kind of safety are you expecting?"
After saying this, the old man laughed eerily.
Gu Wanyin: "Alright then."
She saw the stairs right beside her and turned to go up.
However, at that moment, she heard the sound of someone pushing open the door. She instinctively turned to look.
That one glance left her completely dumbfounded.
Because the ones pushing open the door were none other than Bai Shuwen, Zhuang Xiaoxia, Dong Yue, and Gu Han!
What... what's going on?
Why were the four of them in the horror world too?
"Boss Gu!"
"Wanyin!"
The four of them ran over as soon as they saw her.
"Why are you here?"
"What is this place exactly?"
"Wanyin, what on earth happened?"
"How did you all come here too?" Gu Wanyin asked in shock.
At this moment, 066's voice sounded in her mind: "Host, isn't this more interesting? Your friends are going through the dungeon with you, so you can't act freely anymore. Because in the dungeon, whether it's you or them, anyone could die at any moment... They were brought here because of you, you wouldn't want to be responsible for their deaths, would you?"
Gu Wanyin's face turned ashen.
How despicable!
"Boss Gu, what's wrong?" Dong Yue looked at her worriedly, "You look terrible."
Gu Wanyin sighed and said, "I can't explain everything right now. You should go ask which room you're staying in first, then I'll explain everything to you properly."
Although they were still confused, since Gu Wanyin had said so, they didn't ask further questions. They all walked to the reception desk to ask the old man which room they were staying in.
The old man picked up his newspaper again and said, "I just checked. Room 404 is supposed to house five people. Apart from Gu Wanyin, there's another person surnamed Gu, one surnamed Bai, one surnamed Dong, and one surnamed Zhuang. That should be you all, right? And your dungeon, it's all at noon tomorrow, the same dungeon. Remember that!"
It looked like the five of them would be staying in room 404 together.
This was good. If anything happened, they could look out for each other.
The five of them climbed the creaky stairs to the fourth floor and stood in front of room 404.
"This number..." Gu Han shuddered, "It's unlucky!"
Gu Wanyin didn't care much about it.
They were already in the horror world, how much luckier could a number make things?
She raised her hand and pushed the door open.
Surprisingly, the room inside was quite clean. There were five single beds, a table with two chairs, a small chandelier hanging from the ceiling, and a small bathroom.
After entering, Gu Wanyin explained the current situation to them.
The system matter was too complicated to explain, so Gu Wanyin only said that she had been tricked by an enemy and brought to the horror world, and that they had been implicated because of her.
As she spoke, Gu Wanyin felt somewhat guilty: "Now that we're in the horror world, we'll have to keep going through dungeons. I need to find something before we can go back... In the dungeons, we could be in danger at any moment."
She had prepared herself to be complained at, but unexpectedly, after hearing this, none of the four showed any anger.
Gu Han whispered in her ear, "Is it that 066 system causing trouble? I've heard about it from my system, but now I can't contact my system either. It must be 066's doing."
"Those rewards you got before, like that big hammer from last time, do you still have them all?" Gu Wanyin asked softly.
"I do, don't worry! I have a personal space where I keep all the rewards."
"That's good."
Dong Yue seemed somewhat excited: "Going through horror dungeons? Sounds quite interesting!"
Zhuang Xiaoxia said, "We're already here, so let's do it!"
Bai Shuwen smiled and said, "I just tried, and my special ability is still here, so I feel more confident now."
Hearing this, the others tried as well.
Indeed, although they had come to the horror world, their special abilities were still intact.
Gu Han didn't have a special ability, but she had the reward items she had obtained before.
This made Gu Wanyin feel much more at ease.
Since they were all forced to come to the horror world because of her, she was determined to bring them all back safely, along with 088. Not a single one could be left behind.
