"Nanxi is your mother, and she will always be your mother."

Gu Xing spoke slowly, his eyes constantly scanning the head in the driver's seat.

If you look closely, that man's head is really an eyesore.

Gu Xing lowered her eyes, concealing the emotions within them.

"Ding-dong!"

"The final stop of this trip is Chenxi Road. We are currently at an unmanned self-service hotel, and the stop time is 10 hours and minutes. Passengers who need to get off, please exit through the rear door. Thank you."

Perhaps because Gu Xing was on the bus, the bus became much quieter for the rest of the journey, with only Nanxi and Zhao Yiming talking to each other at the front.

And just like that, before we knew it, we arrived at the next stop.

The car stopped.

Nanxi and Zhao Yiming walked down from the back door and could see the thick darkness in front of them, pressing down heavily. They couldn't help but stretch their bodies and breathe in the fresh air.

That's strange, really.

There was an indescribable stuffiness inside the "death bus," as if there was a natural barrier between it and the outside air; once you got out, you felt completely refreshed.

"Since we can park here, let's rest here for a bit."

Putting aside Nanxi and Zhao Yiming's long drive, even the other players had a day filled with fear and anxiety, with one thing after another impacting their minds, making it anything but relaxing.

Nanxi looked up and scanned the surroundings of the station.

On the desolate highway, which looked like the outskirts of the city, there was hardly anyone around, except for a building in front of the station.

—A self-service hotel without staff.

Several of the hotel's signboards were even out of order, making it seem like we were paying nothing to stay at the hotel.

Nanxi nodded: "Okay."

Anyway, the dungeon gives you five days, and it's impossible to complete it in one go without sleep.

Behind Nanxi and the others, the other players got off the vehicle and immediately heard their conversation.

Zhao Yiming quickly announced to everyone, "Everyone, let's rest here for the night. We've already completed half of the checkpoints in the instance, so we can take a short break before continuing. What do you think?"

"Okay, then let's take a rest."

Grandma Feng was the first to chime in with a smile.

Both of the bus drivers are currently planning to take a break; there's nothing else they can do if they don't.

She was secretly glancing at the tall man beside her.

Gu Xing, holding Hao Hao's hand, stood there expressionless, her eyes fixed on Nanxi in front of her, without offering any opinions.

Gu Xing: Keep an eye on his wife.

[Ugh, why doesn't Gu Xing recognize Nan Xi? Did he lose his memory? Isn't this a dating reality show? How come we're seeing such a melodramatic scene? Waaaaah!]

[A dating reality show? Isn't this more like a horror game livestream?]

[Never mind, I'm watching it like a romance variety show; it's so sweet it's giving me diabetes.]

The group stepped into the hotel.

The hotel is small, with only one floor. Once inside, you can see an old poster on the front wall.

[This is an unmanned self-service hotel. Please take your room key after payment.]

P.S.: The hotel owner dislikes the color red, so please do not include any red items in the hotel.

It looked like a perfectly normal self-service hotel, with everyone taking turns to collect their keys.

Nanxi took the key and glanced at the old yet familiar missing person notice posted on the hotel wall.

The person in the photo is indeed Hao Hao, but the comments below have become much more intense.

[Missing Person Notice: Searching for Xuanxuan, a six-year-old boy. I know who took Xuanxuan away. I can tolerate you taking him for a while, but you can never take Xuanxuan away forever! I... will always be watching you... watching you!]

This no longer resembles a missing person notice; it's more like a warning letter.

Nanxi turned her head and glanced at the father and son duo not far away, murmuring softly, "This doesn't seem like a missing person notice left by Gu Xinghui."

Then...who is looking for Hao Hao?

"Mom saw me, and she wants me to go and keep her company!"

Hao Hao, who had just been glanced at, immediately let go of Gu Xing's hand, his innocent face full of affirmation.

As he was speaking, he was about to walk towards Nanxi when Gu Xing grabbed him and lifted him up.

Hao Hao frowned and struggled a couple of times, his brows furrowed in a cold stare: "Mr. Gu, what are you doing?"

"Mr. Gu?"

Gu Xing laughed in exasperation.

So Hao Hao doesn't even call his dad anymore?

Hao Hao retorted confidently, "Even Mom doesn't acknowledge you, so why should I call you Dad? I can choose who I live with after the divorce."

Gu Xing frowned and repeated seriously, "We will not get a divorce."

Subconsciously, he couldn't accept that he was divorcing this woman named Nanxi.

He was clearly a ghost, while the other person seemed to be a human...

He looked up again, his gaze involuntarily following Nanxi's figure once more, only to find that she had already entered the room and disappeared.

Hao Hao had obviously noticed this key point as well, and he gave Gu Xing a deep look.

"Mr. Gu, please have some self-respect."

"..."

[Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter! Did those two even realize their voices were being completely heard?]

[Haohao is highly recommended by Nanxi.]

[Actually, if Gu Xing were in a normal state, his attitude would probably be much stronger than Hao Hao's.]

Only those who have completed the first few instances truly understand how true the statement above is.

[The person who's even more amazing is Sister Nan! After hearing all that, she remained completely unfazed, as if she hadn't heard a thing. Her acting skills are incredible.]

"Click".

With a crisp sound, Nanxi entered the room with her key.

What immediately catches the eye are the scratch marks on the wall, left by fingernails, until finally only a dark brown stain remains. It's hard to imagine the despair that those who once stayed here must have endured.

The scratch marks left by fingernails eventually formed a large character on the wall—Death!

"Sizzle."

As if in response to the message on the wall, the dim light flickered twice, making the surroundings seem even more eerie.

Is this the correct hotel?

[It should be...it should be right.]

[Let's not worry about whether it's right or wrong for now; at least in front of Nanxi, it shouldn't be a problem.]

[Tsk tsk tsk, I just browsed other live streams, and you wouldn't believe it, Wang Shanshan's room was even worse. Not only were there words on the walls, but the lights in the room were also green.]

[Could I take inspiration from the atmosphere of a hospital when the lights are off and only the green emergency exit sign is lit...?]

[Damn, I just got back from there, and I can only say that the person upstairs described it perfectly.]

Everyone saw Nanxi looking at the words on the wall, slowly falling into deep thought.

"A room with a special themed atmosphere?"
