Chapter 730: Chapter 730: The Strange about Tomorrow’s Inn
Su Man’s mouth formed an “O”.
Bai Youwei continued to walk on.
Su Man followed her, stammering in surprise: “Wei, Weiwei, have you already deciphered the code?”
“Almost there…” Bai Youwei walked slowly with her hands behind her back, “If we come across a similar text again, we should be able to decode it.”
Su Man was incredibly delighted: “Incredible!”
Worry, however, was written all over Zhu Shu’s face.
Those words were no different from a death warning. If there were to be more of them, it would mean that the killer already had a new target in mind.
The killer had a tranquilizer supplied by the game; it was almost impossible for them to miss their shot. Even someone as skilled as Su Man could hardly avoid falling into the trap.
So how should they protect themselves now?
Without realizing they had reached the door, Zhu Shu was still worried when a man’s shout suddenly rose from downstairs —
“Help! Quick, someone help!…Fire! Fire!!!”
Along with the voice came the smell of burnt odor, drifting up the stairs.
All three women were shocked.
The guesthouse was on fire?!
“Lu Yuwen!” Su Man rushed into the room hastily!
Zhu Shu thought of Yan Qingwen, who was locked downstairs, her face turned pale as she ran down the stairs!
Bai Youwei furrowed her brows, following and saying, “Don’t panic. The game scene wouldn’t be that fragile. Moreover, Inspector hasn’t announced anything yet. Let’s see what’s going on.”
Zhu Shu managed to calm herself down, but her steps were still frantic.
While they were taking Yuwen to the first floor, the commotion aroused the other guests, prompting them to run outside.
Thick, black smoke filled the first floor, as if there was a real fire!
Everyone’s vision was blurred by the smoke, but they didn’t feel the heat of the flames. Someone opened a window, and the cold, damp air rushed into the house as the black smoke trailed out, leaving everyone shivering.
The detective stood at the door of the kitchen, questioning angrily, “What the hell are you doing in there?!”
The cook also stood at the kitchen door, screaming, “Oh god! Look what you’ve done! You’ve ruined everything!”
Everyone turned to look.
A balding, fat man blackened with soot stormed out of the kitchen, shouting:
“I just wanted to have an extra meal! Two meals a day are just not enough, who knew that the stove was so hard to use!!!”
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
It was all just for an extra meal…
A woman holding a baby scolded without hesitation, “Are you kidding me?! Didn’t you prepare food and water before entering the game?! Running to the kitchen for an extra meal and causing so much smoke! You scared my baby!”
“Shut up!” The fat, bald man retorted fiercely, “If you have food, bring it out! Yesterday, I didn’t have enough to eat all day!”
The woman widened her eyes in alarm, held her baby tightly, and ran back to her room.
At this point, the man in room 404 came down while dressing and coughed a few times due to the smoke. He asked, “What happened? I was napping. I just heard you’re all shouting.”
After seeing the smoky kitchen, he was surprised and said, “How did it get ? What are you all doing standing there, go put out the fire!”
The detective said angrily: “The fire is already out, but the smoke hasn’t dispersed. Sir, you must pay for what you have done. Please clean the kitchen immediately! Otherwise, I will arrest you on charges of arson!”
The fat bald man sneered, didn’t fight back, and cooperated by nodding, “Alright, Detective Sir…”
This small incident ended quickly.
Seeing that nothing serious had happened, everyone went back to their rooms.
“Really, what a mess…” Su Man complained, and lifted up Yuwen to return to the third floor.
Looking at the pitch-black kitchen, Bai Youwei thoughtfully glanced at the fat man with a embarrassed look on his face…..
Something seemed off.
