Chapter 29.1
Night, boundless and black, as if there was no end in sight.
It could easily amplify people’s fear of the unknown.
“Have you checked? How is it over there?”
“No, I didn’t see anyone on the side I was looking at.”
“Yes, same here.”
Everyone was gasping for breath, looking at each other in panic, unable to help but feel extremely frightened.
They had just divided into groups of two or three to go and check the specific situation inside the hotel. They even boldly went and searched the room on the second floor where the person died.
Strangely, in such a large hotel, there was no sign of anyone else anymore, like an empty haunted house.
Then what were the receptionists and waiters they saw these past two days?
Could it be that they were ghosts?
Not only did the body on the second floor mysteriously disappear, but even the bodies of those they had jointly killed also inexplicably disappeared!
Does this make sense?
A sense of despair and suffocation weighed heavily on everyone’s hearts.
What was even more despairing was that ever since they entered the Xiyi Hotel, their communication devices seemed to have their signals forcefully severed. Not to mention 4G network, they didn’t even have 2G, and their phones couldn’t make any calls. It was as if they were mere illusions.
This means that if they were to die here, nobody would know, and nobody would come to rescue them.
“Does staying here for seven days really have such a miraculous effect? Or is it just a rumor?” A boy couldn’t help but tremble all over, questioning the authenticity of this matter. He looked helplessly at the people around him, his spirit also somewhat worn out.
The people who were vowing about staying here for the entire week during the day fell silent.
How long had it been? They had already lost one-third of their group!
At this rate, how many more days could they survive?
They really couldn’t bear it anymore.
“From now on, let’s not act alone. Even when we sleep at night, let’s try to stay in the same room. What do you think?” someone quietly suggested.
“I think it’s okay.”
“Agreed.”
“Yes!”
At that moment, the emotions of the crowd began to rise again.
“Hehehe.”
“Stupid.”
Standing by the side, the system tilted its head and let out a sneer, then coldly spoke up, “I disagree. I believe that if everyone stays together, the level of danger will only increase.”
All the people looked at him in unison, furrowing their brows, unsure of what he meant, as if they didn’t understand.
The system said indifferently, “From the moment we entered the Xiyi Hotel until now, there have actually only been two people who died under truly mysterious circumstances.”
The rest of them were simply killed by you selfish people, though he didn’t explicitly say it, everyone understood.
For a moment, an eerie atmosphere of awkwardness and silence filled the air.
“Everyone has heard the rumors about the Xiyi Hotel, and we all know that it’s no ordinary place. Those who manage to leave here alive ultimately find their lives transformed, reaching the pinnacle and experiencing extraordinary success. And there are even more who desperately seek to enter.”
The system continued in a calm tone, scanning everyone present with its gaze. “I dare to speculate that perhaps the game rule of the Xiyi Hotel is simply one person dying each day, like offering a sacrifice to the devil, trading one life for short period of peace.”
Every person present felt a sense of supernatural revelation, as they vaguely understood what was being implied.
Apart from the two individuals who died in mysterious circumstances, one in a room and one in front of everyone, how did the others die?
They were collectively driven to their deaths by everyone. Whoever acted against the common interest would face repercussions. After all, human nature, at times, can be even more terrifying than ghosts.
How can you be so sure? When you all live together, how can you trust that the person sleeping next to you, whom you don’t even know well, won’t suddenly attack you? What makes you believe in them?
Do you trust me?
I don’t trust you either!
By doing this, it would only make them more fearful and suspicious, constantly on guard against one another.
Immediately, everyone dismissed the idea of staying together and ultimately chose to return to their respective rooms, and live alone.
The system continued to gaze indifferently at the group of people.
The reason why these people were likely to die in the original plot was mainly due to their lack of trust in each other. Even a slight provocation from the ghosts could lead them to fight each other.
As for a useless person as Wang Hao’er, the reason he could survive is because he was relatively isolated, didn’t mingle with others, wasn’t curious, and didn’t try to snatch other people’s things.
To be more precise, Wang Hao’er actually understands human nature very well. He had long guessed that these people’s fate were to be nothing more than a pack of mad dogs biting each other.
The gentle breeze brushed through, creating waves of rustling sounds that seemed particularly loud in the silent night.
The system kept its eyes open, sitting on the chair, like a robot, without blinking once.
It listened to the sound of the wind, and its eyes darted around.
Slowly, it curled its lips into a smirk.
Whether tonight would be a peaceful night remains unknown.
Tsk. Su Jingyan’s eyelids felt incredibly heavy. He tried to open his eyes, but after just a slight squint, he couldn’t resist the drowsiness. He felt dizzy and heavy-headed.

After the end, Lu Yichen quietly stared at his sleeping face for the entire night.
As soon as Lu Yichen noticed Su Jingyan opening his eyes, he immediately leaned in like an excited puppy, wanting to give him a kiss. However, Su Jingyan swung his fist and landed a punch on Lu Yichen’s face, pushing him away.
Lu Yichen directly grabbed his hand, holding it in his own hand, and playfully toyed with it, unable to resist kissing his slender fingers.
Su Jingyan already had half-awareness, but he was also extremely sleepy. The actions of the boy were undoubtedly disturbing him, preventing him from falling asleep peacefully. He closed his eyes, rolled over, pouted, and spoke in a soft and sweet voice, “Don’t bother me, I want to sleep.”
Lu Yichen felt his heart melting, but he didn’t want to let him off so easily. He even buried his head and gently rubbed his own nose against Su Jingyan’s nose.
Lu Yichen playfully said, “If you kiss me, I won’t bother you anymore.”
Su Jingyan, with his eyes closed, had a clear mind. He reached out with both hands, trying to grab Lu Yichen’s head in the air, and then he grabbed both of his ears and pulled Lu Yichen’s head down.
In a dazed state, he fiercely kissed the invisible face, not knowing which parts he kissed. He kissed more than ten times, and Su Jingyan was exhausted. He turned over and fell asleep.
Lu Yichen didn’t bother him either. The corners of his mouth curved slightly upwards, smiling sweetly.
“pong pong pong。”
“Bang, bang, bang.” A series of frantic knocking sounds.
The person, awakened abruptly from their sleep, jolted up from the bed, their eyes wide open and a terrified expression on their face.
His eyes were swollen and bruised, indicating that he probably didn’t sleep well last night, or maybe didn’t sleep at all. He had just drifted off when he was abruptly awakened by the pounding on the door.
He swallowed hard and blinked in horror.
Only then did he realize that it was already bright outside, and he had no idea when the sky had dawned.
“pong pong pong.”
“Bang, bang, bang.” The knocking sound continued.
He took a deep breath, pulled the blanket over his body, and remained silent, too afraid to make a sound or open the door.
Nervously, he sat on the bed with his knees pulled up, listening to the abyss-like sound that resembled hell.
“Thud, thud.” His heartbeat accelerated with the sound of knocking. He held his breath, and his body began to twitch uncontrollably. He stared intensely, almost tearing his eyes apart, with bloodshot veins filling his entire eyeball.
Cold sweat began to trickle down his forehead, dripping onto the tip of his nose. His face turned pale, devoid of any color, and even his lips were pale, a frightening sight indeed.
“Bang, bang, bang”.
It’s unclear how long the knocking lasted, perhaps a full three minutes. The unidentified entity outside the door, realizing that no one was going to answer, eventually gave up on continuing to knock.
The boy inside the room even heard the footsteps outside gradually moving towards the room next to his. The sound resembled that of high heels clicking on the floor.
He couldn’t help but take a deep breath, tears almost welling up in his eyes. He was still in a state of lingering fear and panic.
He was startled, realizing that the knocking sound from the neighboring room started again. Numbly, he sat on the bed, listening to the intermittent sound coming from beside him, as if something was slowly hitting his chest.
Another three minutes passed.
Still, no one opened the door.
Time passed minute by minute, stretching out as if it had been half a century. The boy listened to the fading sound of the knocking, growing distant, yet no one actually opened the door throughout. His heartbeat gradually slowed down, but his nerves remained in a state of heightened tension.
After all, how could he know if that sound would return along the same path and come back to him again?
What if that thing breaks through the door?
Finally, the high-heeled shoes knocked on every room one by one, but there was no answer, and everyone understood it without saying a word.
The clicking of high-heeled shoes walking also ceased.
“Hey! Are all of you dead inside your rooms? Won’t anyone open the door?”
In the next instant, a voice suddenly erupted, a woman’s voice filled with anger and frustration.
Upon hearing the words, the boy in the room raised an eyebrow, feeling a sense of familiarity in the voice, as if he had heard it before.
“Aren’t you going to eat? Or do you plan on starving yourselves to death!”
The woman shouted again angrily.
The boy finally come to his senses and took a breath.
It was the woman who was responsible for receiving them at the Xiyi Hotel on their first day!
What’s going on? Didn’t they search the entire hotel yesterday? Weren’t they all missing?
Why did they show up again? Is it a person or a ghost outside the door? Are they here to kill them?
The boy was full of thoughts, swallowed his saliva, and his mentality was about to collapse.
The woman laughed coldly and spoke again, “Don’t think that I can’t get in just because you don’t open the door.”
Immediately after, the guy heard the sound of keys clinking.
Damn it.

Chapter 29.2
The boy heard the high heels move again, accompanied by the sound of the keychain’s parts clinking against each other.
His heart also thumped, skipping half a beat.
Don’t tell me she’s planning to break in?!
Damn it! What a shit day!
He didn’t know which room she chose. The boy couldn’t hear it very clearly as he was. He tore off the quilt, put his ear to it, and listened carefully to the sound outside.
And he vaguely heard the “click” sound of a key inserted into the door lock, his breathingalso slightly choked following the sound, and his heart beat chaotically.
The door was unlockeded!
In the next moment, he heard the door of the selected room being opened with a bang, but it didn’t seem like it was opened from the outside, it was more like someone from inside broke the door directly.
A man roared, “I don’t care anymore! I’ll fight you!”
Then there was the rubbing sound of the knife piercing into the flesh, shik shik , very much like the sound of the pig’s skin being pierced he had experienced before when he saw a farmer butchering a pig.
Immediately afterwards, there was a heart-piercing scream from a woman. The scream was very shrill and terrifying, as if it was piercing through the wall and piercing the bone marrow.
This cry made all the boys in the room feel their scalps go numb, and they shivered as if they had been electrocuted by an electric current.
Why is the sound insulation of this hotel so poor?
“Go to hell! You’re too young to kill me! Bah! See if I don’t stab you to death!” The man was still yelling outside the door, and the sound of the knife stabbing didn’t stop.
Like a pig butcher, he was not merciful at all.
Finally, there was a loud sound of “duang” and something heavy fell to the ground, the woman’s screams stopped abruptly.
Hearing the sound of something hitting the ground, the boy couldn’t help but twitch his brows, and clenched the quilt tightly.
Just… just died like that?
It ended so fast?
Just as he was hesitating whether to open the door to see the situation outside, he immediately heard the sound of countless locks being opened outside the door one by one.
Then there was a burst of noisy footsteps and tiny voices.
It seems that everyone came out to join in the fun.
The boy couldn’t bear it any longer, he was so curious and itchy that he jumped up from the bed.
He didn’t even take off his shoes yesterday because he was afraid of an accident happening in the night.
The boy cautiously approached the door, set his right eye to the position of the cat’s eye peephole, and looked at the situation outside.
He didn’t know if it was because the dead man’s location was far away from his room, he couldn’t see anything from his angle.
Should he open the door?
The boy was still hesitant.
A sound came from the other side of the door.
“My God, did you kill her just like that?”
“Ah bah! I didn’t expect her fighting power to be so weak, so I stabbed her twice casually, and she died, hahaha.”
“You are so awesome! I was so scared when she knocked on the door just now.”
Hearing this, the boy couldn’t sit still anymore. A lot of thoughts flashed in his eyes, his heart itched even more intensely, and he showed a weird smile, he didn’t think too much and decided to open the door lock directly.
Anyway, there were many people outside, so he wasn’t afraid.
He turned the deadbolt and unlocked the door. He opened the door a little bit, revealing half of his head, but as soon as he did so the boy’s pupils shrank violently, and his whole body became stiff.
Before he could scream out of fright, he felt his throat get cut by something, and then something was gushing out from his neck crazily.
The boy’s eyes dilated, and he leaned back uncontrollably. With a loud bang, he collapsed on the ground and fell into a pool of blood.
Blood spurted out of his throat as if he was throwing his life away like money, he twitched all over, and watching his own blood splash into his eyes, his terrified eyes widened even more.
Finally, not too long later, his eyes became completely out of focus and his breath came to a stop.
Only the whites of the eyes remained in the eyes of the thing outside the door. It looked coldly at the corpse on the ground, and hooked the corners of its mouth.
Hehe.
Curiosity kills the cat.
Do you think your ears won’t deceive you?
Haha.
You should know, even eyes are liars!
The sky wasn’t bright yet, and it was still gloomy dark outside.
Su Jingyan finally woke up, opened his eyes suddenly, and wanted to move his body, but found that he felt as if he had been run over by a car. His whole body was so sore and he felt powerless. He couldn’t do anything except to lay back down.
He blinked his doe eyes, his eyelashes fluttering up and down.
As his consciousness returned the image of the ridiculous night yesterday appeared in his mind.
His brain was short-circuited slightly, like it was fragmented, and his expression froze.
Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!
He seemed to have said a lot of shameful things yesterday!
It was just that under Lu Yichen’s coercion and temptation, he said all kinds of embarrassing words, which was too shameless!
Not only that, but he also unlocked a lot of movements and postures that he couldn’t do at all. Thinking of those movements, Su Jingyan felt a little bit of backache.
Even when the two of them got near to the end, Su Jingyan couldn’t take it anymore, and cried and begged Lu Yichen to let him go, he didn’t even know when Lu Yichen ended.
Thinking of this, Su Jingyan wanted to dig a hole in the ground, and sink into it.
Damnit, he’s already too ashamed to face anyone.
Seeing that a certain someone woke up, Lu Yichen’s lips curled, and he immediately kissed Su Jingyan’s face repeatedly, like an animal in heat, where no amount of kisses could be enough.
Su Jingyan’s entire faceflushed, his nose was full of the hormonal smell emitted by boys. This smell was as cold as Lu Yichen, but it had a strong sense of presence, enveloping his whole body.
Thinking of what Lu Yichen had done so excessively, Su Jingyan became a little angry and didn’t want to talk to him at all.
The pain was not too painful, and Lu Yichen was gentle, always caring about his feelings. He was always working hard to cooperate with him, although some discomfort and pain were unavoidable at first, he soon got used to it.
But the frequency of Lu Yichen’s demands was too high, his body simply couldn’t bear the other party’s tossing.
Su Jingyan snorted coldly, showing that he didn’t want to talk to him at all.
Lu Yichen opened his mouth, and no matter how cold Su Jingyan’s attitude was at this moment he still shamelessly hugged and rubbed against each other.
Suddenly, Su Jingyan’s expression froze, because he felt something pressing against him below.
Su Jingyan’s eyes widened, and he slapped Lu Yichen directly on the face, blushing furiously, and cursed at him, “Rogue! Shameless!”
Of course Lu Yichen knew that the current Su Jingyan couldn’t bear it, he just was quietly hugging his beloved, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
But when he was scolded so coquettishly by Su Jingyan, his expression froze, as if he had satisfied some hidden hobby in his heart, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
What’s more, Su Jingyan didn’t hit him hard at all, just like a kitten raising its little meaty paw when its master teased it.
It wasn’t until Su Jingyan waved his hand that he noticed that his arms were covered with countless red marks. He didn’t know how aggressive Lu Yichen was yesterday, but he was able to be so patient and suck out a hickey.
Su Jingyan’s heart thumped, he raised the quilt a little, and looked at his own condition.
If you don’t look at it, you won’t know. Once you see it, you’ll get shocked by it.
His body is like that of an overindulgent hedonistic man, and there was not a single piece of skin on his body that wasn’t damaged.
And he also saw Lu Yichen’s situation.
Su Jingyan took a deep breath, feeling he was suffocating.
It’s so big, how did it fit in there?
Su Jingyan turned his head, looked at Lu Yichen’s handsome face, and was even more angry.
He directly pinched Lu Yichen’s face with his hands, kneading it tightly, rubbing it back and forth, directly rubbing Lu Yichen’s face into various expressions that Lu Yichen himself could not make of his own accord even if he tried for his life.
It wasn’t known how long he pinched it, but he pinched very hard, without showing any mercy.
Only when Su Jingyan saw that Lu Yichen’s entire face was covered with marks from being pinched by himself did he stop, and only then did he feel a little comforted.
Let you bully me! Hah!
Lu Yichen saw that Su Jingyan had had a good pinch, and continued to display his shameless traits, hugging him even tighter, his whole body stuck to Su Jingyan’s.
Su Jingyan saw his childish temper, couldn’t hold back his serious face for a long time, and laughed out loud.
“Yanyan.” Lu Yichen called out.
“Hmm.” Su Jingyan responded.
“Yanyan, Yanyan, Yanyan…” Lu Yichen shouted even more joyfully.
Su Jingyan sighed, the blush on his face hadn’t faded, and with a little shyness, he wrapped his hands around Lu Yichen’s neck and said with a smile, “I’m here.”
The system walked around the room, squinting its eyes.
Strange.
Even if it uses its own heavenly eyes, it can’t peep into Su Jingyan’s private room, and it can’t tell what’s going on in the room at all, but the only thing that was certain was that if Su Jingyan stays in that room and doesn’t come out, he won’t encounter any accidents.
Thinking of this, the system’s expression twisted slightly.
That boy…
Where did he come from?
Not to mention that it couldn’t find out his details, even before it was possessed by Wang Hao’er, it could vaguely sense that the other party seemed to notice its own existence.
This was simply impossible.
But it also trusts its instincts.
This makes it very contradictory.
Wait.
The system’s face suddenly changed.
He finally knew where this sense of dissonance came from.
That man is probably the only wraith in Xiyi Hotel!
It was the only special existence in the entire hotel.
As the saying goes: People die and turn into ghosts, ghosts die and turn into spirits, and spirits die and turn into wraiths.
From the very beginning, he should have noticed something was wrong, why did he only react now?
What is the purpose of that boy? To kill Su Jingyan?
No! Doesn’t look like it!
So…
The system clicked, and an idea took shape in his mind.
It was to take possession of Su Jingyan.
Do you believe in the drama of the devil falling in love with the angel?
Translator’s Notes
There was previously a mistake on chapter 25.1, saying that after a spirit dies it becomes nothingness. We’ve now changed it to wraith as it made more sense. Sorry for the confusion!
Thank you so so much for the chapter!!
Thanks for the chapter❤
Dang Lu Yichen calm down 😭✋ How many hickeys did you give that man?
