17: Chapter 17 New Rules

Seeing the entity bumping into the wall, Chen Yang was stunned on the spot, and the audience watching the live stream were also stunned. There was nothing on the wall, so why were you bumping into it?

Soon, Chen Yang stopped that entity.

"Are you pointing to inside this wall?"

The entity shook its head.

"If it's not the wall, then is it next door?"

The entity nodded.

"Next door? The room next door is the source? What is next to my room?"

The sudden answer made Chen Yang recall the room next door.

However, after thinking about it, he realized there was no room next to his at all.

His room was 902, and because the Hotel layout separated odd and even numbers, directly next to him was the elevator.

At this moment, Chen Yang understood instantly.

"Are you talking about the elevator?"

Upon hearing the word 'elevator', all the entities nodded frantically.

Although he received a definite answer, Chen Yang did not walk out the door immediately.

Because there was a rule stating that one could not leave the room after ten o'clock, and usually when he hunted entities, he would let them walk in themselves.

But now, if he wanted to check the elevator, he had to leave the room.

Furthermore, he was now very certain that the elevator the entities were pointing to was the nighttime elevator; during the day, he could ride the elevator without any issues, and he wouldn't find any truth.

Therefore, to know all of this, he had to go out.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yang finally decided to go out and take a look.

"Blue Spirit, you stay here and watch these entities. Maid No. 1, come with me to check outside."

Soon, Chen Yang took Maid No. 1 and walked out of the room.

As soon as they arrived in the corridor, Chen Yang felt a gust of eerie wind blow past, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

At this time, the corridor did not have the white lights of the daytime, but rather one red light after another.

Coupled with the eerie and long corridor, it gave people a very strong sense of oppression.

"Brothers, I'm retreating first. This scene is really too oppressive for me; I'm about to wet my pants. Tell me what happens later!"

"You only almost wet your pants; I actually already did. I'm going to wash my underwear. Brothers, tell me what happens later."

"Brothers, don't leave! Don't leave me, little sister, behind! I'm scared watching the live stream alone!"

"Little sister, that's great! Where is your address? I'll come over and keep you company! I don't have any special talents, but I have a lot of guts."

A large wave of comments floated by in the live stream, but Chen Yang could not see any of them.

After looking around and confirming there were no entities nearby, Chen Yang slowly walked to the place next to his room, which was the elevator.

When Chen Yang arrived in front of the elevator, before he pressed any buttons, the elevator door opened automatically.

Seeing this, Chen Yang was somewhat shocked.

At this moment, inside the elevator, there was neither white light nor red light, but a blue light that emitted an eerie aura.

Before Chen Yang could step into the elevator, lines of bloody text suddenly appeared on the elevator wall.

"Nighttime Elevator Rules"

"Rule 1: The nighttime elevator only operates between 10:00 PM and 5:00 AM."

"Rule 2: The nighttime elevator can only go to the Basement 1 and the 19th floor."

When he saw the second rule, Chen Yang felt puzzled. He had recently explored the floors above and below, but this Cecil Hotel only had eighteen floors; there was no Basement 1 or 19th floor at all.

So, this nighttime elevator was taking him to non-existent floors?

"Rule 3: When riding the elevator, please face the elevator door. No matter what sounds you hear, please do not turn around."

"Rule 4: Sometimes there will be an extra person in the elevator. Please do not panic."

"Rule 5: The elevator may take you to different spaces. If you see a scene in that space that you are not familiar with, please do not step out."

"Rule 6: If you are trapped in the elevator, please press the emergency call button, and the Security Department will send someone to save you."

"Rule 7: The person who opens the door is not necessarily a security guard. Please judge for yourself whether the person is a Hotel security staff member."

After reading the seven rules, all the viewers in the live stream couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines.

"This is just like a scene from a horror movie!"

"Late at night, an elevator, dim light, bloody text... Mom, I'm sleeping with you tonight!"

"I can't take it anymore; I'm losing it. I have claustrophobia."

"Master Chen, maybe you shouldn't go in. It's too terrifying!"

Meanwhile, the high-level officials of the Dragon Kingdom were also frowning as they looked at these seven rules.

"I feel that Chen Yang has likely found the key to clearing this level again."

"Yes, whether it's the restaurant rules, the kitchen rules, or the cleaning rules, they are actually just trivial employee codes."

"To find the source of the problem, this nighttime elevator must be the most important part!"

"But this scene looks truly creepy. If Chen Yang really walks into the elevator, who knows what will happen."

"Should we send a message to Master Chen telling him not to go in?"

At this moment, someone in the conference room proposed this, but it was ultimately denied by the Old General.

"Judging by the current situation, perhaps the rule about staying in the Hotel for seven full days is wrong. If he really stays for seven days, he will likely be doomed."

"And the only way to break the deadlock is to walk into this nighttime elevator."

Just as the high-level officials of the Dragon Kingdom were discussing, Chen Yang had already walked into the elevator.

As the elevator door slowly closed, Chen Yang and Maid No. 1 were both facing the elevator door directly.

"Shall we go check the basement?"

Chen Yang said this very loudly.

This made everyone feel a bit strange; in such a confined space like the elevator, and besides, Maid No. 1 basically does whatever he points to, so there was no need to speak so loudly.

Just when everyone was confused, Chen Yang had already reached out his hand, preparing to press the button for the basement.

However, at the very moment Chen Yang was about to press the button, he suddenly lifted his hand and quickly pressed the 19th floor.

This sudden reversal by Chen Yang stunned everyone.

After pressing the 19th floor, the elevator began to run, while Chen Yang stared at the elevator door with icy eyes.

"They didn't act, so it seems this rule is real; both places can be visited. Whether I choose the 19th floor or the basement, both are correct. Or, perhaps both places are dead ends, and no matter which one I choose, I'm wrong?"

Chen Yang pondered while staring fixedly at the elevator door.

From the audience's perspective, they could only see Chen Yang as a whole; it was a god's-eye view.

However, if you were to look from Chen Yang's perspective, you would be surprised to discover that in the reflection of the elevator door...

...behind Chen Yang and Maid No. 1, there stood a young girl wearing blue clothes and glasses.

"Rule 4: Sometimes there will be an extra person in the elevator. It seems this young girl is that extra person, but can just a girl like this really contain the entities of the entire building?"
