According to the front desk, the power outage will only last two or three hours, and one candle should be enough.

But Zhou Yingting, to prevent any unforeseen situations, still asked for a few more candles.

Zhou Yingting wanted to take more, but the staff delivering the candles said it was against the rules, and in the end, Zhou Yingting only took two candles.

He could tell that the staff indeed couldn't allow him to take more candles.

However, two candles should be sufficient.

As the candlelight illuminated the room, the darkness within was dispelled for the moment.

Zhou Yingting felt relieved seeing this and turned to lie on the bed.

By the time this candle was almost burned out, the lights in the room finally came back on.

When the lights were on before, he didn't feel it much, but now seeing the bright lights again, Zhou Yingting felt much safer.

Zhou Yingting felt at ease with this.

It seems that tonight's danger has passed.

Thinking this, Zhou Yingting endured the night half-awake until dawn.

.....

"Why are a few people missing?"

When Zhou Yingting came downstairs, he noticed that there were fewer people in the lobby.

Seeing this, Zhou Yingting couldn't help but look at Zhang Yi, "They haven't come down yet?"

The candles were delivered yesterday, there shouldn't be any danger.

Unless something happened to them before the candles arrived.

However, could they really be that unfortunate?

Thinking this, Zhou Yingting looked at Zhang Yi with a probing gaze.

"They probably met with an accident. I just asked the front desk, and they said they have already checked them out."

If the front desk processed their check-out, it means they truly encountered something, most likely of the fatal kind.

Zhou Yingting knew this as well.

Thus, upon hearing Zhang Yi's words, Zhou Yingting furrowed his brow, "The candles were all delivered last night, yet something still happened. Did they open the window before the candles arrived?"

Zhou Yingting thought carefully, and the biggest danger last night seemed to be outside the window.

If they didn't open the window, there shouldn't have been any major danger.

"Not sure, the front desk is unwilling to say much and implies you need to ask them."

With Zhou Yingting's level of authority, only he could probably get the front desk to speak.

And they were waiting here for Zhou Yingting to inquire about the matter.

Hearing this, Zhou Yingting understood what they meant. He nodded and then waved to the front desk.

He called over the same staff member he inquired with yesterday.

Seeing Zhou Yingting's wave, the staff member hesitated for a moment, then cautiously approached Zhou Yingting.

"Mr. Zhou, is there anything you need?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yingting wasted no time and directly asked, "How did my friends check out? What happened to them?"

Realizing this was the issue Zhou Yingting was asking about, the staff member was immediately uncomfortable.

Thinking of Zhou Yingting's threat yesterday and remembering a colleague went missing last night, she had no choice but to say.

"When my colleague delivered the candles last night, there was no one in the room, but the window was open."

"I think they probably left directly through the window."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yingting was suddenly thoughtful, "Is it dangerous to sleep with the window open at night, or does it violate the hotel rules?"

"Mr. Zhou, I really cannot answer that question!"

The staff member quickly waved her hands when she heard Zhou Yingting ask this.

Zhou Yingting stared at the staff member for a long time, but she kept a distressed look, indicating she truly couldn't answer.

Seeing this, Zhou Yingting waved his hand, signaling that she could leave.

The staff member, relieved, quickly turned and left as if granted amnesty.

"It seems, indeed, that the window shouldn't be opened. Although this person didn't say anything, she mentioned that when they entered the room, the window was open."

"If it weren't for that, she wouldn't need to mention it."

Upon seeing this, Zhou Yingting immediately voiced his conjecture.

Zhang Yi pondered after hearing this and then asked, "Have any of you opened the window while sleeping in recent nights?"

"Who would open the window, I've been wanting to wrap myself up in the quilt tightly."

"When I sleep at night, I even have the lights fully on, terrified of any bit of darkness."

At this moment, everyone chimed in.

Hearing this, Zhang Yi experienced a slight tremor in his heart, "You guys are all doing this, fully lit, doors locked tightly?"

"That's how I do it."

"I do it as well."

Qiao Peimu and the others quickly responded.

In a Horror Dungeon, who dares sleep with the lights off and windows open, if anyone dares that, they deserve to be called brave.

"Then let's continue doing this; likely, there are hotel rules involved."

Since doing this incurs no danger, they should certainly continue. Fortunately, they were almost out of here.

"By the way, did anyone have any candles left last night? I feel these things are somewhat unusual, but once they burned out, the power returned, leaving none."

At this point, Shangguan Nana brought up last night's event.

When the candles were brought in last night, the dark fog that had invaded the room vanished, indicating these things might have an effect of dispelling anomalies.
