Chapter 87 The Two Who Missed
Chapter 87 The Two Missing Persons (Third Update)
A clue has finally been found.
Building A of the resort is the building where they are located.
So the clues we need to find are the rooftop, the second-floor guest rooms, the first-floor restaurant, and that bathtub that we don't know where it is.
The only problem is, why don't these news articles specify the room number?
If Gao Fan were here, that would be great.
Mingpo sighed inwardly.
The deceptive game is "fair".
So if three players are brought here, randomly eliminating one upon entry is obviously unfair. Therefore, there are actually three possibilities—
Either the master has a problem, or the master has already sent it.
Either the game is designed to accommodate a maximum of three people—the person who isn't the "player" will then leave the game after it officially begins.
After all, he vanished into thin air, yet Mingpo felt no danger whatsoever. This is utterly illogical.
If Gao Fan were here, he might be able to play the role of this master—after all, he also shares the surname Gao and can be considered a master himself.
"—So, the latest accident occurred in 2016?"
Mingper suspected that the newspapers were incomplete—at least one was missing.
The resort was eventually closed due to fire safety issues, but this news from 2016 was clearly unrelated to fire safety.
Although he didn't know the exact year the resort was finally abandoned—unlike the newspapers Ai Shiping had obtained, the masthead of the newspaper Mingpo saw had been cut off, so he couldn't determine the precise time.
However, judging from the aging of the facilities, this place has not been maintained for a long time.
It's been many years since 2016.
—By the way, what year did Zhang Leyao from the Ghost School die?
It seems to be the end of 2011 or the beginning of 2012.
However, when they went there, the school had already been abandoned. It will probably be several years later.
In other words, the timeline of the resort incident should be after the Ghost School incident?
The fact that these two games share the same universe suggests that their "specialties" should be the same. This implies that anything found in the haunted school could also be found here, and these guests might actually have been attacked by ghosts.
Ai Shiping guessed what Mingpo wanted to ask, so he directly asked the audience, "Oops, brothers. What year is it again?"
What are you talking about! What do you mean by checking your phone time? If I did that, I wouldn't be able to see you guys!
"Okay, let's talk about 2013. The housing administrator should block this one first."
"2018? 2019? Okay, once in 2019, twice in 2019—2022? Okay, any more? 2024? Anyone talking about 2077, get out of here. Don't watch my live stream, I'm afraid Arasaka will come after me."
Ai Shiping jokingly commented on the comments section, subtly bringing his phone closer to Mingpo's face.
Excluding those disruptive comments that included everything, the most common comment Mingpo saw was "2022".
Bang!
Just then, they heard the sound of a door being slammed shut in front of them.
In an instant, Ai Shiping and Mingpo both raised their heads and looked in that direction.
That is indeed the direction where the toilet is located.
"Master? Master Wang?"
Ai Shiping shouted at the top of his lungs, "Is that you?"
His voice carried far down the empty corridor, creating overlapping echoes.
Theoretically speaking, there shouldn't be anyone here.
—But it's hard to say.
Because Mingpo remembered that in the introductory plot, the fox had arranged for someone to infiltrate the area and set up some "mechanisms" inside.
After all, they didn't believe the place was really haunted at the time, but this matter must have been arranged.
The seal on the door was intact; I have no idea how they got in.
Could it have climbed over from the cable of the central revolving door?
But no one responded for a long time.
"Who is it!?"
Ai Shiping's voice was already trembling slightly.
Mingpo gently kicked Ai Shiping's shin, signaling him to stop dawdling and go check on him.
They tiptoed to the toilet.
They were supposed to be tiptoeing—but in the quiet corridor, their footsteps became incredibly clear.
"You stand guard at the door."
Ai Shiping whispered to Mingpo, "Keep an eye on the door."
Mingpo knew that Ai Shiping was preventing a counterattack, so he nodded silently.
Ai Shiping first reached out and held up his phone, letting the flashlight beam shine into the toilet.
But they found there was nothing inside.
The urinals hadn't been used for a long time and were covered in a thick layer of black ash. The urinal closest to the window and furthest from the door also contained many cigarette butts.
Of the four squat toilet doors, three were already broken. Only the innermost door was teetering on the verge of collapse, as if it were jammed shut; Ai Shiping tried for a long time but couldn't open it.
He was immediately enraged and kicked her hard.
With just three kicks, he had completely kicked the door open.
As the door tilted backward, what was inside was finally revealed.
First, the hair.
Dense black hair.
It filled the entire toilet bowl and corners, reaching almost half a meter high at its highest point.
"what!"
Ai Shiping was immediately startled.
And just then, the hair moved!
Or rather, it wasn't the hair that moved—but rather three black snakes, very similar in color to the hair, suddenly emerged from within.
"Aaaaaah!"
Ai Shiping felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively jumped up—he didn't know why, but it seemed that jumping up would prevent the snake from biting him.
He clutched his phone and ran quickly backward.
"Brother, help me! There's a snake!"
He shouted exaggeratedly and rushed out.
It was partly fear, and partly his own persona—after all, the snake that suddenly emerged from the pit really startled him.
As the saying goes, "A mop covered in poop is like Lu Bu reborn"—no one knows if a snake crawling out of a pit is covered in poop, so it's really a matter of whether you fight it or not.
But when Ai Shiping ran to the door, his expression changed slightly.
Because there was no one at the entrance to the toilet.
Mingpo, who was supposed to be guarding this place, has disappeared.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
After Mingpo saw Ai Shiping enter the men's restroom, there was no further movement.
Five minutes passed, and there was still no movement inside.
"—What, is he going to have another one too?"
Mingpo complained.
After waiting for a while, he finally became a little impatient.
On the other hand, he was indeed somewhat worried about Ai Shiping.
"Wait, are you using the toilet?!"
He shouted, "If you were up there, you should have said so!"
There was still no response from inside.
Finally, Mingper decided to stop waiting.
"Guys, I'm thinking of going in and taking a look—"
He whispered something to the camera, turned on the powerful flashlight hanging from his waist, and raised the camera with one hand.
Unlike the dim light from Ai Shiping's phone, the moment Mingpo pressed the switch, the entire toilet was as bright as day.
When they shone the light inside, there was no one there.
The doors to the three squat toilets were gone, and the fourth door was tilted and half collapsed.
"Are you in there? Did you fall into the pit?"
As Mingpo spoke, she walked over and said, "If you don't say anything, I'll just kick you."
Without hesitation, he kicked the door open with the camera in hand.
The image didn't even shake much!
Although the title of detective weakened his physical strength, it was clear that—
Just as the title of "Domain of Power" failed to diminish Mingpo's intelligence much, "Detective" also failed to truly weaken Mingpo's physical strength.
However, the fourth pit was also completely empty.
Mingpo's expression immediately tightened.
He tried shining his flashlight out the window, only to find it was sealed shut and couldn't be opened.
Ai Shiping, who had just gone into the restroom to investigate, simply vanished before his eyes.
