The chestnut-haired girl with twin ponytails turned pale.
She had forgotten! She forgot that she checked into Room 307 and that the room card for Room 307 was required for check-out.
She... feared she might not be able to leave.
Despair filled the air.
"If Brother Lin begged me, I might consider it, but it seems Brother Lin isn't willing to do so. What a pity."
Kuroda clenched her fists and shouted angrily, "Get lost! Even if I stay here forever, I don't need Senior Lin Ye to bow down to scum like you for me."
In an instant, Taisuke's smile disappeared, replaced by calm indifference. He was furious, and the temperature in the hall seemed to drop several degrees, a chill filling the space.
"On the count of three, if Brother Lin doesn't say anything, I will destroy it."
He watched, slowly applying force with his right hand.
"One..."
"Two..."
Lin Ye still didn't react.
"Three..."
"Well!"
Lin Ye sighed.
"Why are you sighing? Have you figured it out?"
"I'll break it!!!" Taisuke roared.
Kuroda Hikari accepted the situation in silence.
Only Hoshino Ai understood what was going on.
"I'll break it, I... will really break it!"
'Snap'
Seeing that Lin Ye didn't react at all, Taisuke exerted more force, and the room card snapped with a sharp "click."
"Kuroda, you're not important to Lin Ye. You'll have to stay here with me forever."
"I would never accompany you, even if I die. Dream on."
Hoshino Ai gently supported Kuroda and patted her back with her right hand, offering some comfort.
"It's a pity, Lin Ye, that you didn't react. It turns out your life and freedom are more important. But I have some good news for you. I... didn't promise to let you go! I really want to see the look on your face when you realize the truth and feel deceived by me. It's a pity I couldn't deceive you."
"You'll be beaten to death," Taisuke added.
"Thank you very much," Lin Ye replied calmly.
"If you have the guts, go ahead and beat me to death. I'll stand here and wait," Lin Ye said.
Lin Ye shook his head. "This is the first time I've seen a monster that wants to 'kill itself.'"
"Haha, come on."
"I'll satisfy you."
Taisuke smiled widely.
But then he saw Lin Ye turn and walk towards the front desk.
What was Lin Ye going to do? Ask the woman at the front desk for help? What a joke! Is he crazy? How could the front desk help Lin Ye? She was one of his own!
"Miss at the front desk, I'm reporting him."
The woman in the black suit who had been quietly sitting at the front desk raised her eyes, looked at him, and spoke slowly, "What is it?"
"I'm reporting him for deliberately damaging a room card."
"Ha?"
Taisuke was stunned.
"He damaged the cleaner's room card. He stole and damaged the cleaner's room card. This is a heinous crime. Please punish him immediately."
In an instant, Taisuke looked at the room card in his hand.
The words "For Cleaning Staff Only" on the room card made his eyes widen.
"No... this is impossible. What's going on?"
He couldn't figure it out. He just couldn't understand!
"I see," came a cold voice.
The female receptionist walked slowly toward Taisuke in her high heels.
Taisuke backed away, panic in his eyes.
"I... we... are family!" he stammered.
But the female receptionist continued to advance.
"You... you can't do this... you're violating the rules..."
"It... it won't let you go," she said cryptically.
"No wonder it... said something was wrong with you!"
"Ahhhhhh!"
Screams suddenly filled the air.
Taisuke's true form was revealed as ugly black and gray patches spread across his skin. He tried to attack and fight back, but he was no match for the female receptionist.
With a final howl, Taisuke collapsed to the ground, a bloody mess. Black and red liquid flowed from his body as he twitched in agony.
Hoshino Ai and Kuroda Hikari were stunned. So... this was what had been happening!
But it felt so satisfying!
The two women watched in silent excitement as Taisuke was beaten, their hearts filled with thrill. They even wanted to rush over and kick him a few more times.
"Room card," Lin Ye said, handing Room 307's card to Kuroda.
"Lin Ye... Senior..." she murmured, overwhelmed with gratitude, though she still didn't fully understand what was happening.
"Let's go."
But just then, the bloody Taisuke suddenly burst into laughter.
"Good, very good," he mocked.
He had already stood up and blocked the path to the self-service machine, but the female receptionist stood still.
"Originally there was no way, but now... it's fine. It's you, Lin Ye, who got yourself killed with your unnecessary actions. Hahahaha."
'Sigh' Lin Ye sighed again.
"Why are you so eager to die?"
Taisuke was momentarily confused. What did Lin Ye mean by that?
Are you still pretending to be calm even now?
In the next second, what Lin Ye took out shocked him.
"I've been thinking about a question,"
"That is, when ordinary guests face the monster staffs of this hotel, what else can they do except run away, right?"
"After all, pure physical damage won't have much effect."
However, monster can harm monster.
This was also one of the reasons why Lin Ye tried to persuade the female receptionist. Although the game was nearing its end, it didn't mean that he no longer needed to gather more intelligence.
"But the guests has no means to harm the monsters body, so... isn't this too unfair? No, it should be said that it's too unbalanced. This game is too unbalanced for both parties."
Taisuke was sweating profusely.
This guy treats this place like a game!
"And the ten rules of the 'Hotel Rules', from the first to the tenth rule, have all been verified and implemented, but the last friendly reminder has not been used yet."
Hoshino Ai's eyes slowly moved down to the lubricant and vibrator in Lin Ye's hand. Her face flushed slightly. She was instinctively shy when facing these kinds of sex toys.
The purple-black-haired girl suddenly remembered what Lin Ye had said to her when they were facing these props: "I'll use them later." So, this must be the time!
Hoshino Ai was shocked, but also admired him.
The same went for Kuroda Hikari. She admired Lin Ye more and more. She had always admired strong and wise men.
"So, Taisuke, please help me verify my guess!"
"If my guess is wrong, I will stay here. But if I'm correct, you... should go and rot in hell..."
Lin Ye held the 'weapon' in his hand, the vibrating holy sword, and walked over step by step.
"Lin, Brother Lin..."
Taisuke swallowed.
"Just a joke, just a joke, what I just said was just a joke."
"We can talk it out. We really can talk it out... Peace is the most precious thing!"
He kept backing away, showing a flattering smile.
"Please let me go, please let me go... You can go now, you can all go... Really..."
"Really?"
"Really, more real than real gold."
"What about her?"
"Sure."
But after agreeing directly, Taisuke realized that Lin Ye was referring to the female receptionist.
"She can't."
"She really can't do it, unless..."
At this moment, Taisuke seemed to be blocked from speaking. He covered his mouth with his hands and couldn't say anything. It took him a long time to recover.
His forehead was covered with beads of cold sweat, as if he had experienced something horrifying.
Touched by information that cannot be mentioned.
Lin Ye thought.
"If you don't want to tell me, then help me test it!"
"I really can't do that! Please forgive me and let me go. I beg you!"
"kneel..."
Ze Yong Taisuke knelt down without hesitation, but the next second, he lowered his head and showed a fierce side, his eyes filled with ferocity and anger, and his whole body suddenly bounced up and flew toward Lin Ye.
Time Stop
At this moment, only Lin Ye was taking action.
He unscrewed the lubricant and poured it directly into Taisuke's mouth.
Next, he cover the vibrating 'holy sword' with a steel wool from the bathroom.
Hoshino Ai was stunned by what she saw.
This... this is... too cruel!
But she didn't feel any sympathy. Taisuke deserved his fate.
It was all his own fault.
When the time stop ended and time began to flow again, Taisuke, who was about to explode with fury just moments before, suddenly covered his throat with his hands and started coughing and choking.
'brrrr...'
"Save me..."
His whole body fell heavily to the ground, his eyes wide, his face pale, and he twitched several times.
"I... can't die..."
He stared with bloodshot eyes and laughed.
"I'll wait for you... Come back next time... here in the hotel, I'll... wait for you."
With a thump, he stopped moving—deader than dead.
"Dead?"
Hoshino Ai walked to Lin Ye's side in small steps.
"Well, he should be able to be resurrected. He has become a staff member of this hotel. As long as the hotel is still here, he won't die! But at least he won't appear in front of us again."
Lin Ye looked at the female receptionist. He had kicked her out of the hotel more than once yesterday, but she would reappear every time.
"Dead."
A cold female voice rang out, and the female receptionist spoke.
"Rules, death."
Taisuke is really dead.
His coming to the second dimension wasn't in vain. Now, he had been killed by him.
"Thanks."
Lin Ye once again expressed his gratitude to the female receptionist.
She took the initiative to walk in front of Lin Ye, looking at him quietly, her eyes seemed to express something.
Following his gaze, Lin Ye saw the female receptionist looking at the scattered lubricant on the ground.
A certain idea flashed in his mind.
No way!
Lin Ye was a little skeptical about his idea, but based on the reaction of the female receptionist, he felt that he had guessed right.
"You want to die... right?"
She didn't confirm, but she didn't deny it either, and her expression didn't even change a bit.
But Lin Ye had already gotten his answer.
This female receptionist... really wants to die!
