"How were you asking?"

Seeing this newcomer had already made inquiries, but judging by the timing, it seemed impossible for them to have had the time to ask, Zhou Yingting felt a sense of foreboding rise in his heart.

Could it be that they used the landline to ask?

If they really used the landline to inquire, there could be trouble, right?

"How did you ask?"

The newcomer in question, Zhang Ya, was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "Wasn't there a landline in the room? I just called and asked."

"Didn't you notice the sentence on the wall?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yingting's expression stiffened slightly and then he stared at Zhang Ya and asked.

"What sentence?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ya was also stunned, and then felt a shock in his heart, realizing something might be off from Zhou Yingting's tone.

"On the bottom of the landline, there's a sentence that says 'Do not inquire about hotel rules using the landline.'"

Zhou Yingting looked at Zhang Ya and directly repeated what he saw.

Hearing this, Zhang Ya's heart trembled with fear upon hearing Zhou Yingting's words, "What would happen if I asked?"

"I don't know, but it seems like it's one of the hotel rules. Since you've broken the rule, it looks like there'll be trouble."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ya's face instantly turned pale. As a newcomer, he didn't know how to deal with this dungeon, and now it's a horror dungeon, yet he violated the hotel rule; what should he do now?

With these words, everyone fell silent.

So far, none of them knew what the consequences of breaking the hotel rules were, so they looked at each other, unsure how to assist Zhang Ya.

"By the way, what rule did you find out about?"

Qiao Peimu thought for a moment and asked Zhang Ya.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ya pursed his lips, "I can't say unless you tell me what I should do now. Otherwise, I'm not going to share the information I obtained at a cost."

At this point, Zhang Ya seemed to have realized the situation and directly refused to disclose the information he had gathered.

Everyone was momentarily stunned by such words.

They hadn't thought that he would actually use this as a bargaining chip.

Judging by this, unless they helped him through the penalty for his violation, they couldn't expect to get information from him.

"It's not that we don't want to help you; we've just entered this dungeon and have no understanding of it. Under such circumstances, how can you ask us to help you?"

Qiao Peimu thought about it and patiently tried to persuade Zhang Ya.

Others nodded and said, "It's not that we don't want to help; it's just that none of us know what happens when hotel rules are violated."

"Share the information with us, and if anything happens to you, we'll surely help you."

Others also began to persuade him.

As of now, they seemed to know only two hotel rules.

One is not to bring food into the hotel, and the other is not to use the landline to inquire about hotel rules.

The first was told by the doorman, and the second by Zhou Yingting.

As for the third hotel rule, Zhang Ya held it, making them very curious about what rule he had discovered.

Zhang Ya hesitated upon hearing this, but soon he bit his lip and said.

"No way, unless you tell me what to do next so I can survive. If I die, I'd rather take this information with me to the grave!"

"Moreover, if I tell you now, I lose my leverage. If you want to learn from me, you'll ensure I survive in exchange for the information I hold!"

"This way, I still have a trump card to save my life. If I tell you now, in case I encounter danger, you won't do your best to help me if I'm worthless to you."

Initially a bit shaken, Zhang Ya seemed to realize something and resolutely rejected their proposals.

Everyone frowned at this, surprised at his intense defensiveness.

Judging by this, unless they ensure his safety, they should not expect to acquire information from him.

Zhou Yingting furrowed his brow as well, regretting that he had asked too soon, before letting Zhang Ya reveal the information first.

But Zhou Yingting was not willing to give up just like that; after hesitating, he spoke.

"In that case, if you encounter danger, we'll do our best to save you. Even if we can't, if we make it out alive, we'll pool together a million for your family, how about that?"

"This million isn't a problem for us."

Even if the others were unwilling to contribute, Zhou Yingting could still provide the million himself.

Upon hearing this, the others' eyes lit up, and they nodded, "Right, as long as you share the information, once we're out, we'll be willing to give you a million."

"With Zhang Yi here, you don't need to worry about us going back on our word."

A mere million; in this horror dungeon, a million for a piece of information is worth it.

Moreover, if they pool it together, it shouldn't be an issue at all.

But upon hearing this, Zhang Ya sneered, "Even if what you say is true, I'm an orphan with no family. If I die, then there's nothing left."
