"What should we do next?"
Qiao Peimu looked at Zhou Yingting and asked. He knew about the situation in the safety corridor; Zhou Yingting had mentioned it to him.
Every day when they descended from there, there were footsteps behind them.
Those footsteps were definitely not anything good, and he was worried that when the time came, Zhou Yingting would be in danger.
But the problem is, given the current situation, Zhou Yingting can't go back early; the elevator is completely locked.
"I'm wondering how those guys upstairs on the fourth floor manage to return to the fourth floor."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yingting thought about it and said.
"Regardless, the hotel's rules can't solely target us and not those things, right?"
What Zhou Yingting said made Qiao Peimu and the others fall into contemplation.
Everyone thought carefully but couldn't come up with anything.
Shangguan Nana thought for a moment and said, "It can't be that every time they return, someone on the fourth floor presses the button, so they don't need to press the floor, and when they reach the fourth floor, the door just opens automatically?"
What Shangguan Nana said made Zhou Yingting pause for a moment, then frown.
"If you put it that way, it might be possible. As long as those guys upstairs work together, whenever they want to return, they just need to notify the ones upstairs to press the elevator button."
Previously, Zhou Yingting couldn't figure out why the other party could ignore the rules to return to the fourth floor.
Looking at it now, it seems it can be understood.
"How do they manage to communicate? It can't be that they howl every time, right?"
Another person heard this and was instantly confused.
What the other person said seemed possible, but the question was how they communicated among themselves.
"They probably use the hotel landline, right? Isn't the front desk able to call the guest rooms? Just make a call from the front desk."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yingting thought for a moment and said.
They were told about this on their first day, probably as a discreet hint.
It's likely that on the first day, the other party opened up the permission once, allowing him to go back to the fourth floor during the day.
Zhou Yingting remembered hearing the sound of the door opening when he first went to the fourth floor and was about to return to his room.
Perhaps that was his chance to establish a communication and collaboration with the mysterious fourth-floor entities, but such cooperation probably required paying a certain price.
After all, the other party wouldn't press the fourth floor button for him for no reason every day.
"If that's the case, then you should stay at the front desk and see who's returning to the fourth floor, and then go back with them, right?"
Qiao Peimu immediately said upon hearing this.
However, Zhou Yingting shook his head, "I don't think it's that simple. Those eerie guys always want you to pay a price for anything you want."
"Do you think they would let me gain this advantage without any cost?"
Qiao Peimu was taken aback upon hearing this, and upon careful consideration, he realized it was true.
Without paying any price, how could those guys let them take such advantage?
Basically, this is an impossible thing.
Thinking about this, Zhou Yingting couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
He felt that trying to gain an advantage using this method was pretty much impossible.
So upon thinking about it, Zhou Yingting felt this matter was hopeless.
The others listened to Zhou Yingting's explanation, thought about it, and felt the same way.
"Forget it, while it's not dark yet, why not look for more clues? Maybe find other rule hints?"
Zhou Yingting, having no solution for his current predicament, decided to temporarily put this matter aside.
And everyone listened to Zhou Yingting and immediately exchanged glances.
Clues? They also wanted to find them, but the issue was, clues weren't easy to come by.
Thinking about it, they all felt helpless.
They had been there several days and hadn't found many clues or rules.
And in terms of numbers, they had lost quite a few people, which only made them feel more helpless.
"Actually, I know a rule."
Just as everyone was silent, a timid voice suddenly spoke.
Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively turned to look and saw the speaker was a Loli-looking girl among the newcomers, furrowing their brows.
"You know a rule? What rule? Why didn't you want to say it earlier?"
Everyone appeared serious at this moment, their gaze fixed on her.
It had been so many days, so why was she just speaking now if she knew?
Thinking about it, everyone looked at her with some dissatisfaction.
And some were puzzled; they wondered whether the rule she spoke of was true or false.
The Loli hesitated upon hearing this and took a while before speaking.
"Because this rule is only for you men, it's useless for me, so if you want to know this rule, you need to pay a little reward."
When everyone heard this, they were taken aback, then looked at her incredulously. Clearly, they were somewhat vexed by this statement.
