I Know All Negative Effects of Entries in Instances

Chapter 223: Approaching Footsteps (Part 2)


Moreover, among these elders, there's Zhou Yingting and Shangguan Nana, two people whose strength is undeniable.

Is there something peculiar about this place?

Thinking of this, Zhang Yi looked suspiciously at Zhou Yingting and the others.

Originally, some people were getting a bit restless, but at this moment, they all calmed down.

If it's just a newbie who won Blood Gold, then they need to listen carefully to what's going on.

For these seasoned old players, their hearts tend to lean a bit more towards other old players.

It's not that they look down on others; it's just because these seasoned players are indeed more experienced.

"What else could it be? It's still the same talk that this is a casino, and the games are easy to get addicted to; whatever you do, don't gamble."

"These chips are all given out for free; you guys tell me, what's wrong with playing with free chips?"

Wu Qiang spoke up immediately upon hearing this.

"Look, I'm perfectly fine; I won Blood Gold and walked out, and I'm telling you, as long as it's the first time you enter, you can get Blood Gold for free."

Upon being questioned about this matter, Wu Qiang first opened his mouth to explain.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi ignored him and instead looked at Qiao Peimu.

In these matters, he still trusts his subordinate a bit more; Wu Qiang being a newcomer, he wouldn't fully trust him.

Qiao Peimu saw the look in his boss's eyes and nodded in understanding, indicating that he agreed.

When the others heard this, they all frowned, while some seemed lost in thought.

And some at this moment shared Wu Qiang's sentiments.

In their view, if there are free chips, then going down to gamble a bit is no big deal.

Anyhow, once the free chips are lost, that's it.

Just that little bit of restraint, they believe they have it.

Thinking of this, some people were already pondering when to go down and have a look.

Zhang Yi saw this and realized that among these people, someone already wanted to go down and give it a try.

Seeing this, Zhang Yi sighed helplessly and then said, "It's already late today; if anyone wants to try, do it tomorrow instead."

"In the Horror Dungeon, wandering outside at night can easily lead to trouble."

The crowd, who had been somewhat tempted, immediately calmed down upon hearing these words.

Indeed, although they are still unaware of the hotel's rules, according to Horror Dungeon's rules, it's best to return to the hotel room and sleep at night.

Sleeping in the hotel room for the past few nights hasn't caused any issues, so it's best to continue this way.

Otherwise, it's hard to guarantee that other problems won't arise.

"Besides these messages, are there any other pieces of news?"

Seeing these people abandon the idea of playing right now, Zhang Yi breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask.

Zhou Yingting shook his head upon hearing Zhang Yi's words, noticing that among these people, quite a few looked restless, but he didn't persuade them further.

Seeing Wu Qiang win Blood Gold and return, surely there's a lot of envy in their hearts.

Under these circumstances, if Zhou Yingting keeps persuading them, they'll definitely use Wu Qiang as an example.

If a newcomer can win money and come back unharmed, why can't they?

That's not possible.

Since Wu Qiang could do it, they certainly could too.

Many of the elders surely think this way.

Just thinking about Wu Qiang's earlier performance at the gambling table made Zhou Yingting feel uneasy.

Maybe some in this group really have such perseverance, but if there's something strange about the casino, then what?

It's best not to try things in the Horror Dungeon.

And how does the saying go? The free stuff is always the most expensive.

"Are there no other messages?"

Zhang Yi sighed after seeing Zhou Yingting shake his head, stood up, and waved his hand, "It's late, everyone should quickly return to their rooms to rest."

"If we had no issues resting in the hotel rooms the past few days, then it's best not to change that."

"Also, make sure not to act alone; this was emphasized before, so don't forget."

After warning them again, Zhang Yi led the group towards the elevator.

Just like yesterday, only Qiao Peimu and a few of Zhou Yingting sat together in an elevator.

By this point, it was already late, so Zhou Yingting didn't dare to press the button for the fourth floor and continued to the fifth floor before going down to the fourth.

By this pattern, Zhou Yingting would have to do this every night in the future.

Quickly, the elevator reached the fifth floor.

Qiao Peimu and the rest escorted Zhou Yingting to the entrance of the safe passage but dared not enter, worried something eerie might be inside.

"Last night, did you hear anything inside this safe passage?"

Qiao Peimu pondered for a moment and suddenly asked Zhou Yingting a question.

Zhou Yingting froze slightly upon hearing this, then looked up at him, "Did you hear anything?"

Last night, he inexplicably heard footsteps inside the safe passage, right behind him, but they sounded as if they were still some distance away.

And those footsteps were definitely not Qiao Peimu and the others'.

After all, they wouldn't do such things for fun.

Besides, with Zhou Yingting's Tier Four strength, he would have known it was them following.

But last night's sound just stayed fixed at that spot, not advancing or retreating, just walking step by step.

Initially, Zhou Yingting didn't mind, but later, the sound made him feel uneasy.

It's like intruding on someone's territory.

"That's nonsense; we heard noises from the walkie-talkie, not yours specifically, but like the sound of bones being crushed."

"The sound came from the walkie-talkie; we thought you had died."

Talking about this made him somewhat angry.

That sound was too terrifying.

The few around here, upon hearing it, felt chills down their spines.

It's unclear whether Zhou Yingting heard it alone before.

Zhou Yingting heard this and furrowed his brow, "While in the safe passage, I only heard footsteps behind me; concerning the sound you mentioned, I did not hear it."

"However, after I left, the walkie-talkie did emit some inexplicable sounds."

Zhou Yingting pondered briefly before responding.

Hearing Zhou Yingting's words, Qiao Peimu nodded and spoke to Zhou Yingting as the time grew late.

"It's late; you should head back quickly."

Zhou Yingting nodded and walked down the safe passage directly.

Moments later, Zhou Yingting again heard the footsteps behind him, but this time, they seemed closer, making his scalp tingle.

Zhou Yingting took steps slowly downward, and the footsteps followed leisurely, not pressing, maintaining the same distance.

Just compared to yesterday, the footsteps were indeed closer.

"Could it be that the footsteps approach based on the number of days?"

Listening to the closer steps compared to yesterday, Zhou Yingting's heart sank.

If the footsteps truly progressed based on his daily schedule, how would the following days be managed?

After a few days, he might enter the elevator and immediately be caught by the footsteps.

Though uncertain what happens when the footsteps get closer, they were indeed causing Zhou Yingting concern.

This fourth floor is indeed dangerous.

Returning to the fourth floor and pushing open the safe passage door, a sudden figure appeared, making Zhou Yingting jump.
