Are you kidding me?! The boss of the Hell Dungeon is a loli!

"Trying to run away?"

Jiang Luo snorted coldly.

The small hand pressing on Lin Xiao's cheek suddenly tightened.

The patterns of calamity seeped into her body along her skin, peeling away the layers of pollution that clung to the core of the rules.

The black substance struggled incessantly.

It let out a sharp, baby-like cry.

It tried to penetrate deeper into Lin Xiao's territory.

However, it was firmly locked in place by a cold, icy world will.

In just a few breaths.

All the contaminants were forcibly extracted from Lin Xiao's body by Jiang Luo.

A viscous black mist twisted and turned in her palm.

Then it exploded into pieces with a bang.

The black lines in Lin Xiao's eyes quickly faded.

My body went limp.

It falls forward.

Jiang Luo reached out and caught her.

Lin Xiao leaned on Jiang Luo's petite shoulder, her pale eyes slowly closing.

"Registry..."

"Go quickly..."

"Okay, okay, you're so stupid."

Jiang Luo muttered something in disgust.

She casually tossed Lin Xiao to the crow beside her.

The crow hurriedly caught the person, and the two of them almost fell to the ground together.

"Take good care of her. If Lin Xiao loses even a single hair, Luo Luo will pluck all your crow feathers and use them as a feather duster."

Han Ya quickly hugged Lin Xiao tightly, nodding his head like a chick pecking at rice, "Lord Jiang, rest assured, even if I lose all my hair, I will never let Lin Xiao lose a single hair!"

Jiang Luo ignored her.

He turned to look at Xu Feng and the others.

Several players tensed up at the same time.

The battle just now had completely shattered their last shred of hope.

The white-haired loli in front of me.

They are beings they cannot comprehend.

Jiang Luo tilted her head.

A childlike smile returned to her face.

"Did you all write your names in the registration book at the front desk just now?"

Xu Feng's Adam's apple bobbed.

He finally nodded.

"All fifteen people wrote it. The instance rules required players to complete check-in registration, and we didn't notice the problem at the time."

"That's troublesome."

Jiang Luo hugged the tattered bear tightly in her arms.

Her smile grew even brighter.

(◕ᴗ◕✿)

"Because you are all now tagged with sources of pollution."

The players' faces turned deathly pale instantly.

An even stronger fear than before welled up from the depths of their hearts.

Despair transformed into warm nourishment, flowing continuously into Jiang Luo's body.

She squinted her eyes in comfort.

really.

It's best to tell the truth first and then cut your losses.

Xu Feng forcibly suppressed his fear and gritted his teeth, asking, "So what should we do now? Destroy the register, or leave the instance before midnight?"

Jiang Luo licked the candy in her mouth.

"The register must be destroyed, of course."

"But before that, we have to find out the small fry hiding inside."

She looked up.

Look towards the first floor.

Suddenly, a series of rapid, continuous ringing of copper bells filled the entire haunted hotel.

jingle!

jingle!

jingle!

The ringing grew more and more urgent.

It was as if something was frantically urging all the guests to come downstairs.

A scarlet notification appeared simultaneously in front of all players.

[Urgent Notice.]

[Due to a serious safety incident at the hotel, check-out time is being moved up.]

All guests are requested to arrive at the front desk on the first floor within ten minutes.

Those who fail to check out by the deadline will be permanently detained at the hotel.

[Current remaining time: 9 minutes and 59 seconds.]

Xu Feng watched the countdown ticking away.

His face, which had just regained some color, turned deathly pale again.

The source of pollution clearly realized that the clone inside Lin Xiao's body had been eliminated.

It doesn't plan to wait until midnight.

Instead, they directly tampered with the copy rules.

Get ready to escape into the real world with the players right now!

Jiang Luo bit the strawberry candy in her mouth.

He stuffed the rag bear into his arms.

A dangerous smile appeared on her small face.

"They run pretty fast."

"pity--"

"Lolo loves catching those little fish that try to escape."

[Current remaining time: 9 minutes and 58 seconds.]

A scarlet countdown floated before all players' eyes.

The sound of the copper bell coming from the first floor grew more and more urgent.

jingle!

jingle!

It was as if an unseen person was standing behind the front desk, impatiently urging all the guests to come downstairs to check out.

Xu Feng and the others turned pale.

Their names were all written in the check-in register.

Once pollutants leave the instance using the check-out rules, they become the contaminants that enter the real world.

But if I don't go downstairs...

The rule that "those who fail to check out by the due date will be permanently detained at the hotel" could also cost them their lives.

Either way, it's death.

The blond-haired man leaned against the wall, his voice trembling violently: "What do we do now? If we go downstairs, that thing will possess us; if we don't go downstairs, we'll be stuck here forever. I shouldn't have written my name in that lousy register!"

"What's the use of regretting it now? Everyone stick close to her, no one is allowed to act alone." Xu Feng took a deep breath, gripped the fire axe tightly again, and looked at Jiang Luo.

Even though they already knew that the little girl in front of them wasn't a player.

They had no other choice.

At least Jiangluo's target is also the source of pollution.

They are safe for the time being as long as the source of the pollution has not been identified.

Jiang Luo handed the unconscious Lin Xiao to Han Ya, glanced at the crowd, and said casually, "Don't touch anything you see later, especially that register. If anyone touches it again, Luo Luo will chop off their hand and keep it."

The blond-haired man instinctively hid his hands behind his back.

"Don't worry, I'll never touch a bell again in my life."

Jiang Luo did not waste any more time.

She lifted her skirt, took two short legs clad in white stockings, and walked straight downstairs.

The crowd followed closely behind.

The closer to the first floor.

The more polluted the air becomes, the stronger the pollution becomes.

The mold on the wall seemed to have a life of its own, wriggling with each step. Strands of black thread emerged from beneath the carpet, silently chasing the players' shadows.

Jiang Luo didn't even turn her head.

Her fair, delicate hand casually swung backward.

Dark red calamity patterns swept across the ground.

The moment those black lines touched the power of calamity, they writhed and retreated back into the wall like insects doused with molten iron.

Heartbreaking cries echoed from all parts of the inn.

The players felt a chill run down their spines.

Xu Feng only truly realized this at this point.

The monsters that forcibly raised the danger level of the entire instance were not the corrupted monsters in the inn.

Instead, it was Jiang Luo who was walking ahead of them.

With each step this white-haired little girl takes...

The rules of the entire hotel were being voluntarily compromised.

soon.

The group arrived at the lobby on the first floor.

The old woman with bandages behind the counter is gone.

Instead, a huge chunk of meat was fused together with the front desk.

Countless withered arms emerged from the flesh, each hand holding a pen stained with black ink, repeatedly writing in the check-in register.

The names of fifteen players filled the page.

Black ink flowed continuously along the text, like tiny blood vessels connecting to the piece of meat behind the counter.

The last line of the register.

The name that appeared out of nowhere is slowly fading away.

[Source of pollution.]

It's time to check out.
