MTL - Top Horror Novelist-Chapter 44

Although everyone disappeared from Chi Yiyin's figure, they already trusted his judgment habitually, so they followed his train of thought and checked other places.

But after this investigation, everyone was shocked.

The proprietress... died in her own room.

At the beginning, everyone didn't think of going to see the proprietress's room. It was a college student who felt that the proprietress of an NPC should have some valuable things, so they wanted to search around her room to see if there were any extra gains.

But as soon as the college student pushed open the door, he suddenly met a pair of red eyes, so frightened that he choked in his throat and rolled his eyes, and the exclamation attracted the attention of others.

The proprietress died behind her door.

She stood upright behind the door panel, throwing herself on the door and still doing the gesture of pushing the door with both hands, as if trying to rush out of the room, but in the end she died here with eyes full of horror.

As soon as the college student opened the door, her body fell down. It was so stiff that it didn't bend at all. It was as cold as if it had been frozen in the snow and brought back.

Then the people who rushed over hurriedly removed the body of the proprietress from the college student. The experience of facing the dead body face to face made this weak player so frightened that he couldn't stop crying. It was only after Jingcha came over that he regained control of the situation.

Everyone has repeatedly confirmed in disbelief that the grim-looking corpse of the proprietress is indeed still in the firewood room, but the one in the room is also the proprietress... Is it possible for a person to die twice at the same time?

Even in the copy of the game field, it looks weird.

After hearing Chu Yueli explain the whole process clearly, Chi Yiyin just walked outside the proprietress' room.

Jingcha turned around when she heard footsteps, and saw Chi Yiyin's figure. He turned his gaze from Chi Yiyin's slightly wrinkled suit cuffs, and frowned when he saw that the other party's sapphire cuff buttons were a little crooked.

Got into a conflict with someone? Who, the one in the wheelchair?

But because Wang Lele and others were also present, Jingcha didn't ask Chi Yiyin too much, but nodded to him coldly: "When I was looking for you just now, you were having a private meeting with someone else, I didn't expect it to end so soon? "

Wang Lele, who was squatting on the ground to check the corpse, was startled, and looked up at Chi Yiyin in astonishment, with intriguing eyes.

Even the college students who were trembling with fright cast a veiled look.

Chi Yiyin: "..."

"Perhaps, what you want to say is meeting?"

He was quite dumbfounded.

I always feel that Jingcha seems to be a little unhappy... Jealous? Like a child whose toy has been robbed.

Chi Yiyin paused, and when he walked into the room again, he lowered his head slightly the moment he passed Jingcha, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Don't worry, I will definitely leave it to you to kill me, no Will give it to someone else."

Jing Cha's expression of pretending to be indifferent instantly disappeared. He widened his eyes and looked at Chi Yiyin in disbelief like a rabbit.

But Chi Yiyin walked over Jingcha towards the corpse as if nothing had happened.

After seeing the death of the proprietress clearly, his expression became serious.

Wang Lele consciously made room for Chi Yiyin, and explained her discovery to him.

"We didn't dare to move the corpse, and now it's similar to the scene when the proprietress fell down."

"Looking at the degree of stiffness, the proprietress doesn't seem to have died today. Instead, she seemed to have died in the snow for a long time and was just brought back. Before you came, the body had melted into blood."

Wang Lele pointed out the wet carpet to Chi Yiyin, and said, "It's very strange. When I entered this dungeon, I never encountered such a situation. This is the first time I've seen the lady boss. Died twice."

Just when Wang Lele was puzzled, Chi Yiyin paused, and suddenly remembered the "future" that Li Sijun had just shown him.

Those unidentified things that are close to the backs of the players are similar to the appearance of the proprietress at this time.

And what caught Chi Yiyin's attention the most was the red crystals scattered under the proprietress' body.

Although these red crystals have begun to half melt due to the temperature in the room, it can still be seen that it is the same thing that Chi Yiyin saw under the thick snow on the snow mountain.

—The crystallization of blood mixed with snow water.

The mere existence of it made Chi Yiyin realize... the first place where the proprietress died was outside the Snow Mountain Hotel.

He looked up and looked around, and found that everything in the room was neatly arranged, and there was no sign of struggle, unlike the dried blood on the firewood pile in the firewood room.

Only this small area near the door has slight traces of flipping, especially concentrated on the doorknob.

That being said, the proprietress is a bit different from those who died on the snow mountain.

She was still alive when she returned to the room—or rather, when she was put back into the room. She struggled for a moment to open the door, but she couldn't turn the doorknob anyway. The posture of wanting to rush out, but died here.

Chi Yiyin had a panoramic view of these traces, and quickly began to reconceive in her mind, recovering from the continuity of the traces the situation before the proprietress died, including the actions she made in all the places she walked, so as to deduce the process of the proprietress' death The weirdness in it.

In the last copy, Chi Yiyin had already realized that there might be a connection between the game field copy and the reality he was in.

Part of the copy is what happened in reality. Just like the destruction of the Ma family and the death of Ma Yuze.

As long as he can find the truth of the dungeon, he can correspond to the past that has happened.

Even the aunt Ma Yuze deeply hated in the previous dungeon didn’t die on the spot, so why did the proprietress of the Snow Mountain Hotel suffer repeated and painful deaths? , the proprietress should even be the same victim.

And if the proprietress died, who would have killed her?

A monster on the snow mountain?

Chi Yiyin's eyes darkened, and the moment he thought of the snow mountain, Gu Xichao's face appeared in his mind.

He just didn't say it, but he knew very well that what happened to Xueshan was not done by Li Sijun - Li Sijun really didn't have the character to do such a thing.

When Li Sijun confessed, Chi Yiyin could see clearly that although the other party was dangerous and unpredictable, he had his own pride of not being offended.

Killing someone with his own hands... Li Sijun doesn't bother to do it.

But if it was Gu Xichao, the motive, the reason?

He is a regular guest of the Snow Mountain Hotel, so he should have no entanglements with the proprietress, and he is not good at walking. After the death of the proprietress, his life will face difficulties. It's winter now, and the snow on the snow field is half a meter deep. Even if Gu Xichao hates the proprietress very much, he should still consider himself.

In this snow-covered suburb, two people are safer than one, and they take care of each other.

Unless... Gu Xichao doesn't need these at all.

Chi Yiyin's eyes darkened, and she asked Wang Lele, "How many times have you entered this dungeon?"

"Not a hundred times, but dozens of times."

Wang Lele said honestly: "I don't want to repeat a dungeon, as if I'm an incompetent coward, but the problem is, it gives too much. Having a meal with the old lady, helping someone sweep the snow... This kind of basic It’s really nice to get a C-level reward for a mission without difficulty.”

The audience before the live broadcast laughed like crazy: [This dude is too honest! Ha ha ha ha. ]

[Laughing crazy, it's rare to see someone call himself a coward. ]

[However, this person has self-knowledge, and generally this kind of person will live longer. I'm afraid that some people are incapable and still want good things, that's how fast they die. ]

[I don't blame you, we all understand, it's really too tempting to "give points to the Bodhisattva". ]

Looking at Wang Lele's face, Chi Yiyin thought of Wang Lele's death in terror at the end in the snow mountain.

"Among so many dungeons, how many times have you met Gu Xichao? Have you ever seen someone take the medicinal materials with your own eyes?"

Chi Yiyin added: "Even if you just know that Gu Xichao, a regular customer, is here, that's fine."

Wang Lele thought hard, but finally shook his head and said sincerely: "Boss, you may often go to those difficult dungeons, so you don't understand this dungeon."

"This dungeon is really simple. Don't talk about the hidden difficult tasks like the Snow Mountain Line, let's talk about the Snow Mountain Hotel, which is considered difficult."

Wang Lele pointed in the direction of the town, and said: "More people will stay in the town. The reason why I come to Snow Mountain Hotel every time is because it's too simple. I always feel that the points won't be reliable."

"Gu Xichao..."

Wang Lele shook his head with a wry smile: "I really didn't notice it."

At this time, the college student who had been shrinking beside him hesitated and said, "I, I have seen it."

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the college student.

He shrank back, and was chilled by Chi Yiyin's gaze: "I was at the Snow Mountain Hotel once, and I went downstairs to get water in the middle of the night when I was thirsty, and I heard the proprietress crying."

At that time, the college student fell into a drowsy sleep, and was so frightened by Youyou's painful cry that he woke up, and almost thought it was something like a snow monster or a female ghost.

It wasn't until he reached the first floor that he realized that the light in the living room was on.

The proprietress knelt down on the ground, clutching the clothes on her chest and trembling into a ball, she seemed to be in great pain and could hardly breathe.

The college student's first reaction was that the proprietress needed help, but he took two quick steps and turned the corner, only to realize that the proprietress was not alone in the living room.

Not far in front of her, a corner of the wheelchair was exposed.

As well as spotless leather shoes, and... scorched and skinny leg bones.

At first glance, it looked like a rotting skeleton, which scared the college students sober in an instant.

Then he saw clearly that the one who stopped in front of the proprietress was the regular customer Gu Xichao.

Seeing the college student's appearance, Gu Xichao glanced at him, then calmly put down his trousers, and covered his legs and feet with a re-tucked blanket, which also changed him from a hideous and terrifying appearance to a gentle and kind elite figure.

He pushed down the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, smiled and said good night to the college student, and then pushed the wheelchair away.

Only the proprietress was left lying on the ground crying until she couldn't help herself.

The college student thought it was an NPC mission, so he went up to help the proprietress.

He heard the madam murmuring in confusion.

'I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you, I just didn't expect it to be so serious... It's my fault, I admit it! Please, please let me go, I've had enough, let me die... sorry. '

The proprietress seemed to be trapped in an extremely terrifying scene, no matter how the college student called her, she couldn't get back to her senses.

Seeing that no task had been released, he helped the proprietress to the sofa and left.

It's just that Gu Xichao's leg that doesn't look human is still deeply engraved in the heart of the college student, and he can't forget it.

"Why didn't you say it before?"

Chu Yueli was startled at first, then immediately frowned and looked at the college student disapprovingly: "Are you trying to kill everyone by hiding such important information?"

The college student shrank, a little guilty but more unconvinced: "I didn't know this was important information!"

"Every time I download a copy, I encounter so many things every time, how can I remember everything... The requirements are so strict, as if you can accurately remember what happened every day a few years ago."

The college student muttered aggrievedly: "There are so many things, and it doesn't have 'I am important information' marked on it..."

"you!"

Seeing that Chu Yueli and the college students were about to quarrel, but seeing Chi Yiyin stretch out his hand in a blocking gesture, Chu Yueli, who seemed angry just now, immediately took a step back and stopped talking.

College students who are ready to quarrel: "...?"

He looked at Chu Yueli, who was obedient and quiet, with a dazed face, and felt that his breath was stuck in his throat, which made him uncomfortable.

But Chu Yueli, who saw that Chi Yiyin had other plans, looked as if the sky was falling and didn't say a word, and all the college students went crazy with anger.

Chi Yiyin frowned slightly, and looked at the college student: "You said, that was a few years ago? You have been in this copy for these few years?"

The college student nodded, and replied obediently: "Because this copy gives a lot of points. But I only saw it once, and never saw it again. Even if I looked for it out of curiosity, I didn't see anything related to Gu Xichao outside." Information."

"Brother Chi, you high-level players don't understand. For a player like me who just wants to survive, sometimes curiosity and over-exploration will lead to death."

He said sincerely: "I'm afraid of Gu Xichao. I was afraid even before I saw his legs. He has something similar to you, Brother Chi."

"I was afraid that his legs would trigger a hidden mission, and I didn't need to do such a difficult mission to seek death. So after searching for nothing, I deliberately forgot about it and didn't dare to be curious. Until now..."

No matter how crazy the college students are, they can still tell that Chi Yiyin is the one leading Chu Yueli.

Chi Yiyin just raised his hand and didn't say anything, Chu Yueli obediently stepped aside. He asked himself that he couldn't intimidate others to this degree, so he was even more shocked. He didn't dare to make mistakes, and obediently told everything he knew in front of Chi Yiyin.

But what the college student said made Chi Yiyin frown even more.

Although he had guessed that Gu Xichao's legs were acquired, but they were scorched black... an ordinary disability would not allow this to happen.

Could it be that Gu Xichao killed the proprietress because the proprietress caused Gu Xichao's disability?

With the college student being the first to speak, the others also opened their mouths one after another, inexplicably acting like a quail in front of Chi Yiyin, asking questions and answering them. As long as it is not a question of personal survival, I will answer it obediently.

The truth about this dungeon and the Snow Mountain Hotel also began to gather with Chi Yiyin.

Chi Yiyin found that, except for him, everyone else present had more or less entered this copy, and so far, everyone already knew the existence of the Snow Mountain Line.

All the conditions for the "future" to happen have been met.

At first, when Wang Lele quietly told him about the Snow Mountain Line, although Chi Yiyin knew it was difficult, he didn't have a specific concept.

In his opinion, no matter how perfect an object is, there are gaps, which can become the key weakness to destroy the entire object. Under one blow, there is no possibility of a complete existence. And no matter how difficult things are, there are solutions.

But Xueshan and his party made Chi Yiyin realize—maybe, Xueshan line didn't want anyone to take away the reward of medicinal materials at all.

It is said that there are medicinal materials as precious as gold, but they will always remain in rumors. Everyone only has hearsay information, but they have never seen the appearance of the medicinal materials, and they can't even tell the price and time of its last sale.

The only close information was the dictation of the uncle of the deli.

But that happened many years ago. The uncle himself said that the medicinal materials appeared inexplicably recently.

And under the thick ice and snow of the snow mountain, there are countless corpses buried.

Wang Lele and the others also died on the way, and they didn't even touch the place where the medicinal materials grow.

But Chi Yiyin keenly realized from the countless illusory temptations that this was simply a large-scale hunt.

Using attractive rewards as bait, people are attracted again and again, but they can't see the real danger, and they are confused by wealth.

Then... died on the snow mountain.

But the medicinal materials of the snow mountain line are not the only fly nets in this dungeon.

— This dungeon itself is like a huge trap.

Extremely low risk and high reward, anyone who is not a "fool" can see its value. Even the most cautious person can't escape the temptation in the end, and walks into the hunting trap on his own initiative.

Any payment that does not match what you get is worthy of vigilance.

Chi Yiyin, who has been extremely unlucky since a certain period of childhood, never believed that the world and life would show kindness to him for no reason.

It's a pity that most players don't realize this.

They only saw the rewards at their fingertips, so they were attracted to enter the dungeon again and again, complacent thinking that they had taken advantage of the game field.

But, is that really the case?

At least based on Chi Yiyin's understanding of the system, he would never think that the system would do anything beneficial to the player.

Compared with the fanaticism of Wang Lele and others on the [Snow Mountain Horror] copy, Tong Yao's cautious vigilance suddenly became more normal.

And in each copy, only the lady proprietress and regular customer Gu Xichao of the Snow Mountain Hotel were not killed.

No... the proprietress doesn't count either.

Just what Chi Yiyin saw in the dungeon this time, the proprietress has died three times, not counting what he hasn't discovered now, and what the players have intentionally or unintentionally ignored in every previous dungeon.

Gu Xichao's name popped up just like that, so special and conspicuous.

The moment this idea appeared, Chi Yiyin's air pressure dropped again, making the people around him afraid to breathe.

"Have you thought of anything?"

Jingcha sat down cross-legged on the carpet beside Chi Yiyin. The black rabbit got out of his cuff, twitched its nose and approached the boss lady's body cautiously, as if smelling something.

Chi Yiyin lowered her eyes slightly, looking at the empty gaze of the proprietress lying on the floor and looking up, but said: "The body of the proprietress did not die in her room, but on the snow field moved in."

"Snow Field?"

Jingcha was stunned for a moment, then followed Chi Yiyin's line of sight.

those red crystals...

Jingcha grabbed two of them casually, and observed them closely, then his complexion changed slightly.

And the black rabbit also turned to look at Jing Cha, his lips constantly moved as if conveying some news to him.

"The smell of snow."

Jingcha glanced at Chi Yiyin, then he seemed to have remembered something, stood up and strode out of the room.

"Where is Ah Mai, who has seen Ah Mai?"

Jing Cha's voice was almost roaring, but the slender body of the young man contained terrifying power. When he changed from idleness to seriousness, even something in the air began to change quietly.

Chen San, who had even spit out the acid water, limply leaned against the wall of the corridor, and was picked up by Jingcha before he realized what happened.

"Amai learned about the snow mountain line from you, but he only heard half of it, and he couldn't rush out without knowing it. Did he come to you to ask for information?"

Chen San didn't have the strength to vomit at all. He got a headache from being shaken by Jingcha, and the feeling of wanting to vomit surged up again. He hurriedly raised his hand weakly to stop Jingcha.

"No, really not! Really, when I came out of the toilet, I saw him walking upstairs..."

While talking, Chen San suddenly froze, his eyes slowly opened wide.

Jing Cha frowned and looked at him: "What?"

"He went upstairs, I took a look, it should be the second floor."

Chen San swallowed, realizing the seriousness of the matter: "My room and Wang Lele's are both on the second floor, and all our belongings are also placed in the room. Back, in the backpack, there are car keys and a map I drew. .”

Wang Lele, who had just walked out to see the situation, immediately exclaimed after hearing the words: "My things are also placed in the room—I still have equipment in the car that was originally prepared for climbing the snow mountain!"

That is to say, Ah Mai doesn't need to ask Chen San or Wang Lele at all, he just needs to touch their room when everyone is on the first floor, steal things out, and then he can go to the snow mountain by himself!

Jing Cha immediately rushed to the window, and Chen San also ran over with his limp arms and legs.

But through the window, they could clearly see that the yellow construction truck that had been parked outside the small wooden building had disappeared.

And the ruts extend into the distance.

Ah Mai stole Wang Lele's car and left alone.

Head to the snow mountain.

...It also means that when no one noticed just now, the gate of the small wooden building opened and closed. This place is no longer a completely closed security fortress, but has a gap.

At this time, the rest of the people already understood the reason why Beijing Tea Club rushed out to look for A Mai after hearing Chi Yiyin's words.

Although Wang Lele and Chen San were tempted by the snow mountain line, they were no longer young people in their early twenties. They were less aggressive and more cautious.

Although more people ridiculed this as cowardice, it has indeed allowed people like them to live in the game field until now. They are hesitating and evaluating, even if they think they are well prepared, they are still thinking about whether to really go to the dangerous and unknown snow mountain.

Only Max.

After hearing Chen San's words, he showed an obvious sense of being bewitched, and he was almost sure to win the medicinal materials—or gold in the snow mountain.

Jingcha doesn't care about Ah Mai's life or death, but he cares about the connection between Ah Mai's departure and the corpse of the proprietress who came back from the snow mountain.

"Damn fool!"

Jingcha was furious, and at the same time, several black rabbits appeared on the snow field outside the small wooden building, and then disappeared in a flash.

When Chen San looked around in doubt, he couldn't see anything.

Chi Yiyin didn't leave the proprietress' room, just listening to the sound from outside was enough for him to deduce the whole cause and effect.

He stood up calmly, and turned to look at the snow-capped mountains outside the window behind him.

If the Boss Lady's body really came from a snow mountain... that's going to be troublesome.

Jingcha didn't know, but Chi Yiyin who saw "Future" and the snow mountain knew very well that under the thick snow of the snow mountain, there were densely packed human corpses.

He didn't know if there were any corpses of the proprietress inside, and if so, how many?

Since the proprietress' body came back from outside, is it possible that the rest of the "proprietresses" will come back from the snow mountain one after another.

After all, she had already died three times, and she was not afraid of dying more times.

There is also the soliloquy of the proprietress that college students have heard...

Chi Yiyin repeatedly filtered the words repeated by the college students, but no matter how he listened, he felt that these words were telling Gu Xichao to let her go, but the way to let her go was to let her die.

I am afraid that in the eyes of the proprietress, her life is more painful than death. But the problem is—is she clearly dying all the time?

Like a blessing to the soul, Chi Yiyin suddenly realized something.

That's right, the proprietress is dying all the time!

She experienced the pain of skinning and deboning, and died quietly in a dusty room full of secrets. She was even more frozen and hard, and felt the approach of death desperately in the re-thawing of blood.

Perhaps what the proprietress is begging for is death?

Not the torment she was going through now, but the real and utter death.

The moment he figured it out, Chi Yiyin only felt a chill spreading.

No one is living and waiting to die—that is a predetermined death that cannot be escaped no matter how hard one struggles, and it cannot relieve people, but it is repeated over and over again, plowing the pain of death to the deepest and tormenting it repeatedly.

Blunt knives kill people, but they refuse to give people a good time.

What the proprietress has endured is such a hell.

How deep does the hatred for her have to be to make such a move?

In other words, what did the proprietress do to Gu Xichao back then, so that the seemingly gentle and gentle person was frightened like a devil?

A pair of scorched black legs, or is there something else hidden?

Chi Yiyin left the boss lady's body and looked around her room.

It can be seen that the owner of the room has carefully taken care of all the items here.

Unlike the empty and dusty room of the pyrotechnician, the proprietress' room is clean and tidy, free from dust. Various handicrafts and candles are placed on the wooden cabinets, and the bed is covered with milky white quilts, which are soft and warm.

And the blanket was casually draped on the recliner, and there was an unfinished book on the coffee table at hand, and even a half cup of tea that had already cooled down.

It seems that the owner here just left for a short time, she knew that she would come back, and she didn't intend to go far.

The proprietress never thought that when she came back, she had turned into a cold and stiff corpse.

This idea first crossed Chi Yiyin's mind, and he sighed silently over the death of the proprietress. But then he froze for a moment, but immediately realized something was wrong.

wrong!

If it was as he had guessed before, based on what the proprietress told Gu Xichao, she knew that she was being manipulated by Gu Xichao to die and "resurrect" again and again. The dungeon has existed for twelve years, how many times has the proprietress died?

Chi Yiyin didn't know.

But he is very clear that when a person has repeatedly done one thing for too long, not to mention practice makes perfect, he should be able to see some omens.

Not to mention such a big event as death.

It is impossible for the proprietress to be ignorant of her own death.

Chi Yiyin even suspected that the rules the proprietress told them when they first arrived at Xiaomulou were related to her own death.

She wants them to find out about her death and ask them for help.

Or on the contrary, she didn't want anyone to see her death and her body.

No matter what the truth is, Gu Xichao kept silent, the proprietress died three times, and the only two parties could not prove it.

But the contradictory conclusions made Chi Yiyin suspicious and became extra vigilant.

He carefully checked the proprietress' room again, suspecting that he had missed something crucial.

"If I were her, where would I hide things..."

Chi Yiyin muttered to himself, frowning and looking around.

Immediately, he stood in the middle of the room and closed his eyes, completely sinking himself into completely different emotions.

When all the darkness fell, he was no longer himself, but the owner of this house, the proprietress.

Chi Yiyin substituted himself into the image of the proprietress, and acted according to his character profiled by his portrayal of the proprietress.

He reproduced the drag scratches on the floor of every place in the house, the tea stains on the blankets, and the impact marks on the door panels on the wall, all of which were reproduced in the three-dimensional model in his mind, and these tiny things The details are all connected one by one from the entrance to form a complete and coherent chain of actions.

The proprietress returned to the room with the tea, and opened the door with her elbow because her hands were occupied, but she accidentally lost control of her strength, causing the door to bounce back against the wall. on the blanket.

She quickly packed up her things, crumpled them up and put them aside for later processing, and then slept a long sleep on the recliner under a blanket.

The sound outside the door was like the footsteps of a visitor from hell, which woke up the proprietress suddenly, and the blanket was half dragged on the ground.

Even under extreme fear, the proprietress walked towards the door anxiously.

But when she passed by her own bed, she suddenly stopped in her footsteps, and turned around so quickly that she brushed the marks on the bed, and after quick thinking, she quickly grabbed something next to her and knelt down on the ground Dun stuffed the thing under the bed, causing the sheets to partially crumple.

After doing all this, the proprietress opened the door.

And waiting for her outside the door was a young man in a wheelchair.

He stared at her fixedly, perhaps he had realized something from the extra few minutes of waiting time, but the proprietress still wanted to make a final struggle and refused to admit it.

So, he pushed the wheelchair in, stayed for a while and then left.

The scratches made by the wheelchair on the floor were the same depth for the incoming and outgoing scratches, meaning the weight of the wheelchair did not change as it exited.

The proprietress was not taken away at that time.

What happened next?

Chi Yiyin didn't know.

The numerous labels and traces left in the house, the clues he pointed to, were interrupted here, and his deduction came to an abrupt end here.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked around calmly.

At least one thing he can be sure of.

The proprietress did not die in her room.

Except for the melted blood brought by her corpse back from the snow mountain, there were no traces of fighting in the tidy room, let alone blood rubbed on her body, and there was no trauma on her body.

If Gu Xichao didn't have help, then the proprietress could only go out by herself - even though she knew Gu Xichao's hatred and murderous intentions towards her, she was still acting according to the will of taking care of Xichao.

This can only illustrate one point.

She felt guilty towards Gu Xichao. In addition to the fear and pain of Gu Xichao, what she dared not disobey was the mistakes she had made to Gu Xichao.

What will it be?

Chi Yiyin paused, and looked down at the bottom of the bed beside her feet.

He squatted down halfway, and after pulling away the hanging sheets, all he saw was an empty floor with nothing on it.

…Um?

Chi Yiyin frowned.

His judgment on the traces of behavior was infallible. The proprietress must have expected something before she left, so she hid something under the bed out of the idea of ​​asking for help or letting the latecomers know the truth.

That might be able to guide him to the direction of the truth, to know what the conflict between the proprietress and Gu Xichao is.

The things that people care about most represent the deep memories that he cannot forget.

Through what the proprietress hid and dared not let Gu Xichao find out, Chi Yiyin could deduce the whole truth, know what they were talking about at the time, and know what happened to the proprietress.

and many more! Don't dare to let Gu Xichao find out?

Chi Yiyin was taken aback by her guess, looking at the scratches on the floor thoughtfully.

Gu Xichao was unable to walk in a wheelchair, and there were testimonies from college students. Even if he noticed that the proprietress seemed to hide something under the bed, he couldn't squat down to get a closer look, and could only use tools to reach under the bed to test it out.

The proprietress has been with Gu Xichao for many years, and even died repeatedly because of Gu Xichao. She must know him very well and know what he will do after she leaves.

That way, if she wanted to hide something, she couldn't just throw it under the bed.

but...

Chi Yiyin reached out to the bottom of the bed, but turned her hand upwards to check the bottom of the bed above.

Sure enough, he touched a stack of thick hard-shell books, which were stuffed between the gaps in the bed floor.

Unless someone stretched his arms and squatted beside the bed to grope, he would never be able to see this hidden corner, which was just right for avoiding Gu Xichao's inspection.

The book was a little heavy, and it was packed very tightly.

It took Chi Yiyin a lot of strength to pull it out.

When it was taken out from under the bed, Chi Yiyin realized that it was not a book, but a photo album, which was stuffed full of photos.

The proprietress's room was clean and dust-free, but the photo album had obviously not been taken care of for a long time and was covered with dust.

It's as if the owner deliberately ignored it, thinking that in this way, he could forget the memories that the photo album can evoke and escape from reality.

Chi Yiyin raised his hand and landed on the cover of the album, and found a sentence printed on the cover with an ancient aesthetic style.

"Congratulations on the official opening of the Lianping Snow Mountain Scenic Spot."

And the date was forty years ago.

At this time... the lady boss can't be the lady boss from birth, right?

The Snow Mountain Hotel has always been managed by the proprietress, but no matter how you look at it, the proprietress who opened the hotel 40 years ago does not match her current age.

Chi Yiyin frowned, reached out and opened the photo album.
