Chapter 2554: Chapter 1157: Follow God Lin, and You Will Survive This Round! (Part 2)
Zhou Zhou felt ashamed, so she kept her head down.
Fang Mingyuan wanted to retort, but Ji Xinyan beat him to it.
"Zhou Zhou, you can’t be so selfish!"
Ji Xinyan didn’t give her roommate a kind face, because Zhou Zhou’s intention was clear. She was scared to face the Ghost King, so she wanted to wait for Lin Baici to steal the keys before going over.
That way, they could leave directly, reducing the time spent in the building, which naturally would be safer.
Ji Xinyan felt obliged to rebuke, because among these people, surely many shared the same thoughts as Zhou Zhou.
This idea had to be squashed. freewёbnoνel.com
Ji Xinyan’s thought was simple: if Lin Baici went alone, he would bear all the risks. In times of crisis, he could only rely on himself. But if a group went, there would be cannon fodder.
Lin Baici wouldn’t want to use them, so she’d use them herself!
As long as Lin Baici made it out alive, Ji Xinyan didn’t care what reputation he carried.
"Such a strong guy, if we act with him, won’t we be a burden?"
"With our skills at sneaking around, surely it increases the risk of being discovered. Let God Lin go alone instead."
"No doubt, we are definitely a burden!"
The tourists whispered, seemingly strategizing for the team, but it was essentially a selfish display. Avoidance wherever possible.
"My class leader gets the keys, then comes out to call you guys?"
Ji Xinyan sneered, "You even dare think like that!"
"Shameful!"
Pei Fei showed disdain.
"Not to mention whether the class leader would agree—what if the keys have a time limit? For instance, after acquiring them, they must be used within a certain time!"
Ji Xinyan proposed a possibility.
"Probably not, right?"
A balding middle-aged man questioned.
"Ghosts have appeared, what else couldn’t happen?"
Ji Xinyan made a dismissive sound, although she didn’t know for sure such a thing wouldn’t happen, but her purpose was to scare these tourists into following Lin Baici into the building.
Actually, one sentence could be more effective: ’Aren’t you afraid our class leader gets the keys and just leaves? After all, you have no relationship with him.’
She swallowed those words since they would damage Lin Baici’s personal image.
No one spoke up, but many had constipated expressions, obviously not wanting to enter that building.
Even thinking with one’s butt, it was clear it was full of danger inside.
"No need to say these things to them!"
Hua Yue Yu, having grown from a high schooler to the number one of Seafood Station, had encountered things others might not face in a lifetime.
Human nature?
Hua Yue Yu had seen plenty!
"As long as a few of us follow Little White, they definitely won’t dare to stay!"
Hua Yue Yu chuckled.
With Lin Baici’s character, since these people chose to follow him, he absolutely wouldn’t abandon them, but others wouldn’t think the same.
If it were anyone else, they’d think, "Lin Baici has no connection with me, why would he come back when his friends have all entered the building?"
Even a fool wouldn’t do such a thing!
"I know, I’m just upset!"
With Ji Xinyan’s intelligence, how could she not think of this? She just felt these people were excessively selfish.
Couldn’t everyone work together to overcome the crisis?
"In games, even in team raids, there are incidents of gear theft, greed, and small groups edging out others, let alone rule contamination threatening life."
Hua Yue Yu shrugged, "They only have one life, of course they’re afraid to die!"
Lin Baici glanced at Zhou Zhou but paid her no mind.
The Jiuzhou Security Bureau had explicit orders: purifying God’s ruins was of top priority, then came saving people.
Especially during this great chaos affecting all of Haijing.
Right now, there might be tens of thousands trapped in pollution at this Disneyland, and the sooner Lin Baici purified the Divine Ruins, the more lives saved.
Lin Baici was helping these people purely out of humanitarian concern.
If Zhou Zhou could say something like that, she didn’t consider herself a fellow student, so why should he care for her?
The atmosphere in the bakery became heavy due to this topic.
"Handsome, do you have paper and pen?"
A girl sought help: "I want to write a will. If I die, I hope you can give it to my parents!"
Her words made the atmosphere even more oppressive.
"What you should do is fight to survive."
Lin Baici refused: "Quickly discard such pessimistic thinking!"
Break time’s over!
Lin Baici stood up and walked out.
Everyone hurried to follow.
During this time, Lin Baici had observed the route carefully, planning to enter the alley behind the building and search for a back door.
[No need, go in through the front door!]
[The Ghost King isn’t home right now!]
Eater God’s comments.
Lin Baici raised a brow, reassured, and immediately quickened his pace.
Xu Daguan watched Lin Baici rush toward the door, stunned: "Wait, Old White, what are you doing?"
"Charging recklessly?"
"Do we have to be so reckless?"
Not only Xu Daguan, many were anxious.
"The little ghost’s talk of ’stealing keys’ was likely addressed to ordinary people. Old White is Nine Provinces Dragon Wing!"
Fang Mingyuan was full of confidence in Lin Baici: "Old White can chop down the Ghost King, so why bother with petty theft?"
"Just take it directly from the corpse!"
Lin Baici shot Fang Mingyuan a glance: "No, not a bit!"
"What?"
The crowd had just been filled with confidence by Fang Mingyuan, and now Lin Baici said this, so they started worrying again.
"Once inside the building, immediately disperse and find the keys!"
Lin Baici instructed: "Right now, the Ghost King isn’t here, it’s a great opportunity. If it returns, you all know the consequences!"
"So don’t think about hiding while letting others take the risk to search!"
"Don’t think I can’t see!"
"I won’t tolerate clever tricks!"
By the end, Lin Baici’s tone had turned exceptionally stern.
The group ran across the street, swiftly crossing the steps in front of the revolving glass door, and rushed into the building.
The large lobby was empty, eerier than a ghost haunt.
Lin Baici jumped over the curved walnut desk, into the reception, and rummaged through it, looking for information.
Pulling open the second drawer, Lin Baici found a stack of ’building occupancy manuals.’
"Small Fish, distribute these!" freewebnøvel.coɱ
Lin Baici instructed while picking up a copy, quickly flipping through it: "In an hour, gather in room 405 on the third floor!"
The second floor was full of restaurants, starting from the third floor were guest rooms.
The occupancy manual showed emergency escape routes from fire. Room 405 was away from the stairs, by jumping out the window, it led to the backside street of the building, convenient for retreat.
The crowd, seeing Lin Baici’s calm and planned actions, suddenly regained confidence.
Following God Lin, this game, they might survive!
After instructing, Lin Baici headed for the kitchen.
Hua Yue Yu and Ji Xinyan hurried to follow.
Tao Nai and the others naturally wanted to tag along but were stopped by Lin Baici.
"You guys head upstairs, it’s safer there!"
Bai Jiao glanced at Ji Xinyan.
Evidently, Lin Baici intended for Ji Xinyan to follow her.
Lin Baici was well-meaning; if the others wouldn’t leave, he wouldn’t bother.
"Old White, where are we going now?"
Xu Daguan was a chatterbox, unable to keep his mouth shut: "We can’t just wander around aimlessly like headless flies, right?"
"The kitchen?"
Ji Xinyan suddenly spoke up.
"Going to the kitchen for what? You’re not hungry, are you?"
Xu Dagua didn’t understand and suggested: "Old White, maybe we should first go to the general manager’s office to find the keys!"
"I hope the ’Ghost King’ didn’t take the keys with him!"
The office was an important place, significant key tools should be kept there.
"Why did the little ghost call this place a big hotel and not a building, what do you think?"
Lin Baici questioned, giving Ji Xinyan a subtly surprised look.
The tea girl’s mind was sharp!
"Isn’t going to the kitchen based on that reason a bit strained?"
Bai Jiao doubted.
"Xinyan?"
Lin Baici wanted to hear Ji Xinyan’s reasoning.
"The little ghost referred to Uncle Buton, not Manager Buton, so I think Buton might be a chef?"
Ji Xinyan analyzed: "In such hotels, aside from in the kitchen, male employees are usually younger, and generally, female staff are used more."
[Your sweet treat is of very high quality, I recommend enjoying it now to avoid any regrets!]
Once they found the kitchen, they’d know Ji Xinyan was right.
Because the kitchen was ridiculously large, something was definitely amiss.
