I Upended Yet Another Campus Urban Legend

Chapter 171

The 1-3 rule world was a dark night from the beginning, and they didn't have much time to think.Because of the danger contained in the dark night, they can't think about it in the long run, so they have to spend tonight first.

After all, the buddy mentioned the redemption time, which proved that no matter how difficult it is to redeem body organs, there is still a chance. We still have to spend tonight first, and then find out the situation in the city that never sleeps in the morning tomorrow.

Qin Zhou said, "Yes."

He knew that his behavior would set an example for others, so he went on to say: "Pawning your body organs does not guarantee that you will survive tonight, and it may even be the direct cause of your own death. Whether it is inappropriate or not, you have to think clearly .”

Others originally thought that Qin Zhou had seen something so they said 'dang', but what Qin Zhou added later was like a basin of cold water, pouring them a chill.

When everyone had ugly expressions and heavy thoughts, Lin Yi discussed with Qin Zhou: "Senior, may I come?"

Qin Zhou was right, because they had just entered the 1-3 rule world and didn't know anything about the situation, so it couldn't be ruled out that pawning off body organs would be tonight's death rule.Under this Schrödinger's death rule, he and Qin Zhou don't need to pawn their bodies, they only need one person to take risks, and they can share the money exchanged with their bodies to another person, which can be regarded as common property.

Qin Zhou was noncommittal and just asked him, "Where do you want to be?"

Lin Yi hadn't made up his mind yet, he looked down at his hands, they were his hands before he made up his mind, Qin Zhou squeezed his wrist, "Don't you know my hand control?"

Lin Yi pursed his lips: "No... I don't know."

Qin Zhou smiled: "It's a pity to pawn such beautiful hands, I'll come."

Lin Yi was taken aback, and hurried to grab Qin Zhou's hand: "Senior, I'm controlling it too!"

Qin Zhou held up their hands in the sight of the two: "Whose hands look better?"

Lin Yi wanted to answer immediately, but Qin Zhou said, "Don't lie."

Lin Yi fell silent, Qin Zhou led him away from this temporary meeting point, and found a pawn cabinet with fewer people in line.Lin Yi waited in line for a while, then reached out and tugged at the corner of Qin Zhou's clothes.

Qin Zhou looked at his small movements, then raised his eyes to look at him, Lin Yi said in a low voice, "Can senior also promise me to discuss it with me before making a decision."

Qin Zhou's heart softened, and he asked softly, "I'll come first this time, and you will come next time, okay?"

Lin Yi: "Success."

Qin Zhou discussed with Lin Yi again: "Two fingers?"

In Lin Yi's statement just now, someone pawned a finger in exchange for 3 gold, which probably means that 3 gold is enough to keep them in the city that never sleeps.

So Qin Zhou took two and exchanged 6 gold.

Lin Yi looked at Qin Zhou's hand. The palm was wide and the joints were prominent. The veins on the back of the hand stretched all the way to the arm, with vigorous strength.In fact, Qin Zhou's hands are also pretty, and Lin Yi likes them very much, especially the warmth of Qin Zhou's hands.

He nodded, responding to Qin Zhou's discussion: "Yes."

He will find a way to redeem Qin Zhou's finger.

The pawn cabinet lined up by two people was the No. 8 pawn cabinet that Lin Yi had been to before, and the number '8' hung on the top of the pawn cabinet.

The speed of pawning was not slow, and after a while, there were not many people left in front of them.As the number of people at the front of the line dwindled, Lin Yi still became nervous.

Three minutes later it was Qin Zhou's turn, and Qin Zhou stepped forward.

The buddy yawned, glanced at Qin Zhou from the corner of his eye, and said lazily, "Looks like a pretty face, you just came to the city that never sleeps."

Now that the buddy said so, Qin Zhou didn't have to hide it anymore, he said, "Yes."

The clerk greeted in advance: "I'm annoying newcomers, let me tell you first, think about whether you should be or not, and don't haggle with me here."

Qin Zhou said, "Two fingers."

Lin Yi, who was a little behind Qin Zhou, watched them nervously.

The buddy glanced at his hand, "Fingers again? I have collected too many fingers recently, and I don't really want to accept them. If you insist on being a newcomer, I will give you a package price. 3 5 gold for one finger."

Lin Yi's heart sank suddenly, it was cheaper than the selling price of that person's fingers just now!

And what the guys are talking about is the package price, that is to say, they can't collect 6 gold. If they want to reach this amount, they have to sell 6 fingers in a package and get 10 gold.

Lin Yi couldn't help but stepped forward: "You are obviously bullying the newcomers."

The guy looked over Qin Zhou and landed on Lin Yi, amused: "Am I still bullying newcomers? You change to other pawn cabinets to see if they still accept fingers. I can give you a package price! That's why I hate newcomers." ,so troublesome."

As he spoke, he looked at Qin Zhou, and said bluntly: "I love Dangdang, if you don't want to pull it down, the next one!"

Lin Yi was next in line behind Qin Zhou.

Dude: "..."

The clerk put his face in his hand: "Okay, this is my bad luck in forming a group, I'm here."

Maybe they wanted to let them go quickly, but the man told them: "I want to sell the price, and take the whole, paired thing that interests me as a pawn."

Qin Zhou understood, put his left hand on the pawn counter and said, "This hand."

The man said: "I can't sell one hand at my price, but I can consider a pair. Since you are new customers to the city that never sleeps, I will give you 300 gold for your hands. The current period is a week, and the interest will be calculated on your behalf." 20 gold a day."

Qin Zhou turned his head to look at Lin Yi, and asked Lin Yi's consent with his eyes.

Lin Yi hesitated in his heart.

If these were his hands, he would definitely take them without hesitation.

The current period of the week is what moves them.

The clerk blinked and said, "No, 300 gold is too little? Go to another pawn cabinet and see if others are willing to pay 300 gold." As he spoke, he saw Lin Yi reach out and give Qin Zhou a hand. Discuss with Qin Zhou whether he can go.

The clerk fixed his eyes on Lin Yi's hands, and his eyes lit up: "His hands are good, I can pay 500 gold for his hands, and the interest will still be 20 gold a day for you."

Qin Zhou cast a deep look at the waiter and said, "He's not right."

The man said: "Then are you still doing it? Just to remind you, you can't stay in the city that never sleeps if you don't have gold on you."

Qin Zhou said, "Yes."

Lin Yi was silent.

The guy gave two 'tsk tsk' sounds, as if regretting that he didn't receive a good product.

He invoiced Qin Zhou, bent down and "cracked" under the pawn cabinet for a while, then threw the cloth bag containing 300 gold similar to a kit on the bill, and pushed forward: "The principal is 300, the interest is 20 gold a day, seven days If you don’t pay the money, your hands will return to the city that never sleeps and cannot be redeemed.”

Lin Yi took a big step forward, stared at the pawn cabinet guy and asked, "Are you looking for your hands to redeem within seven days?"

Regarding Qin Zhou, he had to ask clearly: "If the redemption cannot be redeemed, who will take away his hands?"

"I'll issue you a ticket, of course I'm going to redeem you."

The guy answered Lin Yi's first question, and Lin Yi's second question, he smiled inexplicably, and said loudly: "Next!"

There were other participants lining up behind them, some followed Qin Zhou to pawn their bodies, and some did not dare to try.

They couldn't be like Qin Zhou and Lin Yi, where one pawns two people to ensure that one of them is always safe.

When the others finished pawning, they all looked at Qin Zhou again. They now have money, but they have no purpose in what to do and where to go.

Qin Zhou said, "Go to the third floor."

The city that never sleeps is very big, so there are many signages. Qin Zhou saw the signs saying that the second floor of the city that never sleeps is a restaurant, and the third to fifth floors are guest rooms.

It's getting dark now, there are too many people in the city that never sleeps, they'd better find a guest room to spend the time.

From the elevator to the third floor, the elevator lady charges 1 gold per person.

Participants without a pawn body are stuck at this step, and they cannot follow up.

The elevator lady said to the participant outside the elevator who wanted to come in: "A fee is required for the elevator service. If you don't want to pay the fee, you can choose the stairs to go upstairs. Please step back, the elevator door is about to close."

The participants outside the door looked at each other: "Where are the stairs...?"

The elevator lady kept a professional smile and did not answer their questions.

The elevator doors were closed, blocking out the hustle and bustle of the first floor of the city that never sleeps.

Compared with doormen and pawn buddies, the service attitude of the elevator lady is simply heavenly.

She charges after all.

Qin Zhou paid for Lin Yi to take the elevator. After the elevator lady counted the amount, she asked the people in the elevator, "Which floor do the guests go to?"

"Third floor." Qin Zhou said.

The elevator lady smiled: "Okay, no problem."

The elevator slowly went up, and the people involved in the car were silent.

Lin Yi's heart ached for taking the elevator, but there was no way. From the elevator lady, it could be seen that Everbright City would try its best to charge them, and it was impossible to tell them the location of the stairs.

It's getting dark, the longer you wander around in the city that never sleeps, the more dangerous it will be.

They can only spend this money.

Ding--

The elevator reached the third floor, and the elevator lady made a gesture of asking: "The third floor is here, please go slowly."

They come out of the elevator, and the elevator lady continues to serve the others.

Lin Yi looked at the scene on the third floor of the city that never sleeps.

The third floor is indeed a guest room, just like a normal hotel, there are many rooms.

The difference is that there is a middle-aged man in formal clothes standing outside most of the rooms. As they pass by, these middle-aged men will look at them, and after they pass by, they will look away and look forward again .

Lin Yi noticed a lamp with a unique shape at the door of each room.

The light at the door of the room without people standing is on red, while the light at the door of the room with people standing is either off or green.

There is also a difference between lights that are off and green. People standing in front of lights that are off will not look up at them, but people in front of rooms with green lights will look up at them.

Lin Yi thought about it, and said to Qin Zhou: "Senior, do they seem to be soliciting customers?"

Qin Zhou said, "Just ask."

The pawn cabinet guy will remind them that they can't move without money, and the elevator lady tells them about the existence of the stairs, which means that the NPCs in the city that never sleeps will reveal some clues.

Qin Zhou asked the middle-aged man outside room 3011.

The middle-aged man said: "I am the housekeeper of the room. If you are willing to stay in room 3011, you only need to pay 100 gold per night for the room, and I will do my best to serve you."

Lin Yi understood, and he looked at the light at the door of the room again.

A green light means that the room is temporarily unoccupied. A light that is off means that there is already a guest in the room and the guest is resting. Do not disturb. A red light also means that there is a guest in the room, but the guest is not in the room.

Compared to the first floor of the city that never sleeps, the third floor is much quieter.

Qin Zhou asked Lin Yi, "Live in a room?"

Lin Yi thought for a while: "Is there a cheaper one?"

3011 Butler said: "Yes, but there are no vacancies at the moment."

Whether there are really no cheap vacancies, they have no way of knowing.Qin Zhou said to Lin Yi, "Stay here for a day first, and see the situation tomorrow."

Lin Yi nodded, that's all.

It seems that the housekeeper will not disturb the guests in the room, it would be nice for them to have a temporary private space in the city that never sleeps.

Qin Zhou said to the housekeeper of 3011, "I want a room."

3011 The housekeeper charged Qin Zhou 100 gold. After collecting the money, he opened the room for Qin Zhou: "I wish you a pleasant stay, and you can call me if you need anything."

Qin Zhou and Lin Yi were about to go in, but the butler of 3011 reached out to stop Lin Yi.

"Sorry, this is a single room, only one person is allowed."

Lin Yi: "..."

Qin Zhou asked, "Where is the double room?"

"Sorry, this is the rule of the city that never sleeps." The 3011 steward withdrew his hand, and then said: "The rooms on the fifth floor are multi-person rooms, and the minimum price for a double room is 250 gold per night."

Lin Yi was speechless: "It's so expensive."

3011 Butler replied: "The price is set by the boss, who knows what the boss thinks, probably because the boss doesn't advocate multiplayer sports."

Qin Zhou only exchanged 300 gold with one hand, Lin Yi was not willing to spend any more money on Qin Zhou, he planned to go to the hall to spend the night, even if there was no place in the hall, since the whole city that never sleeps is so big, he can always find a place to rest.

Qin Zhou glanced at him: "Don't even think about it."

Then he looked at room 3011 next to room 3012, and the housekeeper of 3012 looked over and said, "Hello."

Qin Zhou paid another 100 gold.

The housekeeper of 3012 opened the room door for Lin Yi and said, "Thank you for choosing room 3012. During your stay, I will serve you all the way."

Compared to the price of a double room, two single rooms will be 50 gold cheaper.

Moreover, Qin Zhou had already paid the room fee for 3011, and it seemed that 3011 would not refund the fee because they changed to a double room.

So far, Qinzhou spent 300 gold to spend 2 gold to the elevator, 200 gold to the room fee, and the balance is 98 gold.

The others saw that Qin Zhou had checked in, so they followed him to the third floor of the city that never sleeps.

Qin Zhou beckoned Lin Yi: "Go to bed early, see you at dawn, I'll be right next door to you."

It happened that they didn't have a good rest the night before they entered the 1-3 rule world.

Lin Yi nodded.

Qin Zhou raised his chin: "Go in."

He wants to watch Lin Yi go into room 3012.

When Lin Yi went into room 3012, the room manager of 3012 closed the door for Lin Yi intimately, and said 'good night' to Lin Yi more warmly than Qin Zhou.

Qin Zhou glared at Room 3012, and then went back to his Room 3011.

The room is worth the price of 100 gold per night, with extravagant decoration and exquisite configuration.

However, Lin Yi didn't pay attention to the condition of the room, maybe he wanted to wake up early, and when it was dawn, he would be energetic and look for clues with Qin Zhou. After washing up, he lay down on the bed.

After lying on the big soft bed, when he was about to fall asleep, Lin Yi caught a glimpse of a painting facing the door of the room from the corner of his eye.This is the only bad thing about the room, there is no window in the room.

It is in the style of a fairy tale. There are castles in the painting and a sea that is blue even in the dark. The only strange thing is that there is a crooked figure in ragged clothes that is incompatible with the style of the painting. The figure is facing him, as if in Just look at him.

Lin Yi turned over. He managed to get a little drowsy. If he thinks about why this painting is so weird now, he will not be able to fall asleep. He needs to sleep well and let his brain get enough rest, so that he can keep his brain in good shape tomorrow. Highly awake.

He recalled the content in the MP4, and slowly, his breathing became even.

"Ahhhh-"

Excited singing floated into the room from a distance, and the volume in room 3012 had become weak.

Lin Yi opened his eyes, he heard singing.

In fact, there will be some subtle sounds drifting in all night, and the room is not completely soundproof.

Lin Yi estimated that he should have slept for five or six hours, and he is in good spirits now.

It should be daylight.

Lin Yi looked in the direction of the painting, and saw the black sky on the painting, and then remembered that there were no windows in the room.

He lifted the quilt to get out of bed to wash up, and then went to Qin Zhou.

As soon as his hand touched the corner of the quilt, as if he suddenly thought of something, Lin Yi paused, and then suddenly looked at the painting.

The person in the painting disappeared!

Now Lin Yi couldn't stop noticing the strangeness of the painting, he jumped out of bed and ran towards the painting.

Then the whole person froze in front of the painting.

There is a sea breeze blowing from the painting, with a salty taste.

Lin Yi carefully reached out to touch the painting, and he saw with his own eyes that his hand passed through the painting, hanging in the air.

This... doesn't seem like a painting.

Lin Yi was stunned, and he raised his voice: "3012 housekeeper!"

The room was knocked, and the voice of the butler of 3012 sounded outside the door: "What can I do for you?"

Lin Yi asked, "Is there a window in the room?"

3012 Butler said: "Yes."

Lin Yi took a deep breath: "Are there any paintings in the room? Are there paintings of castles and the sea?"

3012 The steward said: "This kind of words is too incompatible with the city that never sleeps, but the castle and the sea...there are indeed castles and the sea outside the window."

Lin Yi was silent.

He stared at his dangling hands.

This is not a painting, but a window in a room.

The castle and the sea are just the scenes outside the window, but Lin Yi regards them as paintings.

And the person in the painting doesn't look like he is looking at himself, but someone is really looking into the room from the window.

Lin Yi lowered his head, because of the angle, he couldn't see the window sill that he could see right now while lying on the bed.

At this time, a series of footprints were left on the windowsill.

The toes of the footprints are on top, indicating that this person is heading towards room 3012.

And this person successfully turned in through the window, because a series of footprints were also left on the floor of room 3012.

Lin Yi looked along the series of footprints, seeing that the footprints stretched all the way into the house, and finally stopped at...

under his bed.
