The random girl participated throughout the process, doing makeup and dressing up for the spirit, completely dispelling her fear, and thus successfully clearing the nightmare.

"Ah! Yukino-chan!"

"Luckily, I finally found Yukino-chan!"

"Sister Yang Nai, are you all alright?"

"..."

The girls cheered when they saw Yukino and Haruno come out together.

Finding Yukino successfully, instead of receiving bad news, is undoubtedly a piece of encouraging good news.

"Dad, hug!"

The adopted daughter tilted her little face up, expectantly opening her two short arms.

Amamiya Natsuki reached out and scooped up her adopted daughter.

"D-Dad?"

Yukino Yukinoshita opened her beautiful eyes slightly, looking over in shock.

They've only been in the hotel for a day, how come there's such a big daughter?

"Mom!" the adopted daughter called out, turning her head. "Dad has a long black hair on his shoulder!"

Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."

Amamiya Natsuki: "..."

You're such a heartless little darling, you blurt out all sorts of things!

"Ahem, Yukino-san, you've misunderstood..."

Senior Yanzi blushed and quickly explained to Yukino.

After the excitement subsided, Natsuki Amamiya recounted her experiences in the room to the girls. The Ouija board game wasn't the main point; the important thing was the information she obtained from Yukino.

Kaguya Shinomiya paused slightly, quickly realizing the importance of this information, and her eyes brightened as she said:

"Did any of the advance team players who entered earlier use their sixth sense to find out the location of the ghost story?"

“That’s right.” Natsuki Amamiya nodded, took out a piece of drawing paper and handed it over, “This is the drawing that Yukino just restored.”

Yukino is a model student. Apart from being unremarkable, she has dabbled in painting and tea ceremony, and her artistic skills are quite good. Based on her memory, she successfully recreated the graffiti of the medium.

The girls crowded around, curiously looking at the paper.

"It looks like a regular hotel room."

"What is that heart-like thing? Is it the essence of the ghost story?"

"We have successfully obtained important intelligence!"

"Um... how do I find this room if I don't know the room number?"

"..."

Obtaining important information is naturally exciting, but finding the room where the ghost story is located is not easy.

Each room offers a 'Nightmare' service, where you'll be trapped in a nightmare once you enter. The hotel has hundreds of rooms, and searching through them one by one using the most basic method would require an enormous amount of effort and time.

“It’s not as difficult as you might imagine.” Natsuki Amamiya smiled and said confidently, “We’re not on the set of a famous detective movie. We don’t need to deduce or have absolute evidence. We can rely on our own judgment, such as luck.”

"Huh?" Fujiwara Chika's eyes lit up, and she quickly understood what Amamiya Natsuki meant. "Flip a coin!"

“That’s right, we can use the coin of fate.” The senior student realized and said expectantly, “We can take a shortcut and follow the guidance of luck.”

What is the most powerful thing in the world?

It's not about so-called strength.

It was luck.

If you possess top-tier luck, you'll naturally have a lucky aura, turning danger into safety wherever you go. You won't need to worry about hotel ghost stories at all; a meteorite might just fall from the sky and erase them completely.

Of course, the luck boost from the Fate Coin isn't that exaggerated; it's just enough to get five gold coins in every ten-pull, but that's sufficient for finding your way around.

Manually make a six-sided die, write the words 'up, down, left, right' on each side, and leave the other two blank sides blank. Now, turn on Lady Luck and simply roll the die.

what?

You're saying it was cheating?

Just kidding, this is all the luck that everyone has worked so hard to accumulate!

"Let's not delay, shall we toss a coin now?"

Fujiwara Chika raised her right hand and said in a clear voice.

Having learned important information from Yukino and finding a way to skip class, he was naturally eager to eliminate the ghost stories.

"Don't rush," Kaguya Shinomiya said calmly, shaking her head slightly. "It's been a while since we've been downstairs. Let's go down and see if the hotel's rules have changed."

Fujiwara Chika said:

"It's only been a dozen minutes, nothing will change..."

Amamiya Natsuki quickly covered Chika's mouth: "Stop talking, please stop talking."

"Well……"

Fujiwara Chika puffed out her pink cheeks and bit Amamiya Natsuki's hand with a "pfft!" "Let's go downstairs, let's go downstairs now!"

"..."

The group went downstairs together and returned to the hotel reception.

The hotel lobby remained empty and silent, and outside the door it was pitch black, making it impossible to tell the passage of time.

"President, look!" Fujiwara Chika stretched out her right hand and pointed to the notice board at the front desk. "The hotel rules haven't changed, have they? How could I possibly jinx things every time... Eh?!"

Under everyone's gaze, the text on the sign suddenly faded and slowly disappeared, followed by new text appearing.

【Dear guest, welcome to Aomori Hotel】

This hotel employs advanced contactless service methods, striving to create the quietest possible stay environment for our guests.

Please note that guests staying at this hotel must abide by the hotel rules in public areas. The hotel rules are updated daily.

Today's rule has been updated: Don't blink.

"..."

After reading the updated rules on the notice board, everyone silently turned to look at Fujiwara Chika.

"No, I didn't," Fujiwara Chika covered her mouth with both hands, her pink eyes darting left and right, stammering softly, "It must be because the time came that the hotel rules changed... It can't be my fault, right? How could there be such a thing as a jinx in the world!"

"Stop talking, please stop," Natsuki Amamiya complained. "We're already on hard mode, I don't want to challenge hell mode."

"President is so mean!" Fujiwara Chika said, her voice aggrieved. She turned to the young lady, seeking help, "Kaguya-chan, I'm not a jinx, am I?"

"It's probably just a coincidence." Kaguya Shinomiya coughed twice and looked away slightly. "However, it's better to believe it than not... Chika, it's best not to say anything like that for now."

Fujiwara Chika: "...You still don't trust me, do you?"

"Ahem, Chika-chan, don't take it too seriously." Senior Yanzi coughed twice, changing the subject, "Does anyone know what the 'don't blink' rule means?"

"I don't know." Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head gently. "I've never encountered it."

The girl, now having come to terms with reality, was still grateful to Amamiya Natsuki and the other two for rescuing her from the nightmare. She whispered:

"I've never encountered that before... Wait, what's that?"

Everyone quickly turned their heads to look and saw a sculpture that had quietly appeared in the corner at some point, with its back to them. It looked like an angel.

Senior Sister Yanzi hesitated and said:

"That sculpture... wasn't there before, was it?"

“It doesn’t exist.” Kaguya Shinomiya frowned slightly. “It must have appeared suddenly… Is it related to the updated rules?”

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the sculpture stood quietly in the corner, motionless, as if it were just an ordinary hotel decoration.

However, the crowd only looked away for a moment, and when they looked back, the sculpture had quietly changed. It had been facing away from the crowd, but now it was facing them. Strangely, its hands were still tightly covering its cheeks.

"Eh? Eh? Eh?" Fujiwara Chika exclaimed softly, "That sculpture actually turned around!"

Natsuki Amamiya looked over again, her brows furrowing slightly, a sense of foreboding rising within her.

After a while.

Under his gaze, text prompts slowly appeared before his eyes:

After careful observation, you discovered the true identity of the sculpture in the corner...

This is a replica of the Weeping Angel, possessing some of the Weeping Angel's abilities.

Every time I blink or look away, the other person moves incredibly fast.

You are quite certain that if you are caught by the Weeping Angel, something terrible will happen...

"Senior, do you know what it is?"

Hayasaka Ai asked softly.

Amamiya Natsuki's expression was solemn, and she dared not look away. She said in a deep voice:

"It's a monster that resembles a weeping angel..."

"How is that possible?" Hayasaka Ai's expression changed upon hearing this, and she immediately became wary, saying incredulously, "How could there be such a monster in the hotel!"

Clearly, Hayasaka knows what a crying angel is.

However, not everyone knows this; in fact, many girls don't know what a crying angel is.

"Huh?" Senior Yanzi asked curiously, "What is a crying angel?"

Kaguya Shinomiya frowned slightly: "A terrifying monster?"

Yukino Yukinoshita whispered:

"I feel like I've heard that somewhere before... but I can't remember."

“I know what that is.” Zhu Zhu’s expression was solemn. As a homebody, she naturally had a wide range of knowledge. “It’s a monster from American TV shows. It is said to feed on time. When you stare at it, it won’t move, but even if you just blink, it will take the opportunity to get closer. In short, it’s quite terrifying.”

After listening to Zhu Zhu's explanation, the girls finally understood why the updated rule was called 'Don't blink'.
