Zhou Ming's impression of the first half of the Great Kui Mountain's Mountaineering Path was especially obvious. These four places represented four dividing lines.
Take Da Kui Village as an example.
In the first half of the journey, its presence was especially strong.
Especially the path from Great Kui Village to the pavilion. It even took the initiative to attack, wanting to stop Zhou Ming and disrupt space and time.
It seemed like a few steps to an ordinary person, but in reality, it took Zhou Ming several times more effort.
Next, they reached the second dividing line.
Dragon Roar Pond.
This was a process of redemption.
Then, it was the Dragon's Cave. During this period of time, Zhou Ming was temporarily safe and free from its threat.
The last was naturally the Mountain God Temple.
On this road, it was almost unable to do anything to Zhou Ming.
Zhou Ming also successfully arrived at the Mountain God Temple in the end within 72 hours. He successfully cleared the level and activated the follow-up mission.
The order of the scenic spots…The color of the hotel staff
What was the connection?
However, Zhou Ming quickly thought of a possibility.
The rules clearly prohibited the personnel on duty from coming into contact with the members of the entertainment department after entering the Great Kui Mountain Hotel…This meant…The entertainment department of the Great Kui Mountain Hotel was the most polluted.
The order of the arrangement in front of him started from the red color of Great Kui Mountain and Great Kui Village.
Therefore, this order might mean…The degree of contamination!
This explained why there was a clear time limit for climbing the mountain. The longer one stayed on the mountain path, the longer one would be eroded.
However…He still had some doubts about Zhou Ming.
For example.
Since the staff of the Food and Drink Department had already been turned into mountain ghosts, why were they still drinking the water source of the Longyin Lake?
Which path did the other party take?
Creak!
Zhou Ming frowned and looked at the opened door…A door opened…However, there was no one among them!
This was the room of the staff of the food and beverage department.
The room was pitch-black, and there was something strange about it.
Zhou Ming took a deep breath and directly stepped into the room. Before he came up, Zhou Ming had already thought of this possibility, so…He was already mentally prepared.
He was not afraid of meeting other employees.
The rules downstairs had already been written clearly. The security department in black uniforms no longer existed.
Almost everyone saw Zhou Ming's appearance.
Regarding Zhou Ming's appearance, the staff of the Great Kui Mountain Hotel should have avoided him as much as possible and would not take the initiative to come up.
If nothing unexpected happened…Most of the employees probably wouldn't be on this floor.
Zhou Ming approached the wall in the dark and turned on the light. He found a notebook on the desk.
He took a few steps forward.
Food and beverage department staff, XXX, notebook.
"This... The corrupted employees still retained their self-awareness?”
After Zhou Ming saw the contents, he was a little surprised. This matter was beyond Zhou Ming's expectations. In front of him was the daily records of the food and beverage department employees.
Food and beverage department employee XXX's notebook.
Recently, I often meet people in black clothes in the hotel... This was too strange! Those people claimed to be from the security department, but strangely, our hotel doesn't have a security department at all!
The moment Zhou Ming opened the diary…A brand new…A different world appeared before his eyes.
.......
On the other side.
At the same time.
At the end of Great Kui Mountain, the Mountain God Temple.
Several Great Kui Mountain scenic area's on-duty personnel were sweating profusely as they looked at the scene in front of them with solemn expressions…
In his hands was the latest information.
The following is the latest information, please remember.
1. There are two types of staff in the Mountain God Temple, namely the staff in the golden uniform and the staff in the water uniform. The Mountain God Temple refuses to explain the difference between the two uniforms.
2. When a visitor reaches the summit within 72 hours, the staff in the golden uniform will bow down and the Aqua staff will bow up.
3. If the personnel on duty feel dizzy and lost, please seek help from the Mountain God Temple.
" Note: Depending on the color of the uniform, the staff will show different ways to help. The staff in the golden uniform will ask you to burn incense and light candles for the statue of the mountain god. Aqua Uniforms will require you to consume the food provided by them. Both methods had been proven effective, but if he were to receive the help of both methods at the same time, he would be lost.
4: To ensure everyone's safety, if the number of people on duty at the Mountain God Temple exceeds 50%, the mission will be declared a failure and all personnel will be evacuated. The area will be marked as at least (A).
As the situation in Great Kui Mountain continued to deteriorate.
According to the number of people on duty, more than 50% of them had almost lost contact.
So... The result was self-evident.
The mission was almost about to fail. Now, almost all the personnel on duty had already rushed to the periphery of the Great Kui Mountain. Everyone's eyes showed an emotion of facing death unflinchingly.
A question appeared in the minds of the on-duty personnel.
What exactly happened at Great Kui Mountain?
Meanwhile, the personnel on duty who had already arrived at the periphery of the Mountain God Temple received a new command in their communication devices.
Please wait for the members of the special operation team to arrive and confirm the number of people who will receive help from the Mountain God Temple.
On the other side, the Great Kui Mountain Hotel
Zhou Ming flipped through the notebook in front of him…However, he accidentally found the employee handbook in his notebook.
Dakuishan Hotel Staff Manual: Work content and matters needing attention
[Note: Please pay attention to the work content of different departments and their respective precautions.]
1. Due to the requirements of the scenic area management, employees are not recommended to take the initiative to contact the on-duty personnel of the Great Kui Mountain Scenic Area for help when working in the Great Kui Mountain. If there is a response from the on-duty personnel, please do not believe it.
2. It is strictly forbidden to hand over the work of receiving the special dishes of the Great Kui Mountain and collecting the Dragon's Roar Pond to the same person.
3. No employees are allowed to enter the mountain climbing path of the Great Kui Mountain.
4. If any employee loses their way in the Great Kui Mountain and is being followed, they can ignore (3) and reach the destination for help under the instructions of the notice board.
From the staff's handwriting: Don't turn around, don't contact the staff on duty, don't believe it!
5. If you lose your way and are being followed under any circumstances other than (3), you can contact the Great Kui Mountain Security Office (Phone: xxxx) or personnel on duty (xxx-xxxx).
If you are unable to contact the security department or the personnel on duty due to special reasons, please try the notice board nearby and act according to the contents of the notice board.
6. There is no security department in the Great Kui Mountain Hotel. Please ignore them.
This was the first page of the notebook.
Looking further, it was the personal experience of this employee.
"What is going on?"
Zhou Ming looked at the contents of the notebook with some suspicion. Now, he could almost confirm that the people in the Great Kui Mountain Hotel were missing people and contaminated mountain ghosts. How did they regain their consciousness?
Wasn't the mastermind's goal to let him turn into a mountain ghost and benefit from it? And why did he restore the consciousness of the mountain ghosts?
" Could it be the water of the Dragon Roar Pond???"
Zhou Ming looked suspiciously at the diary in his hand and recalled some of the scenes he had seen before.
If that was the case…Not only did Longyin Pond's water have the magical effect of helping tourists regain their senses and remove pollution, but it could also temporarily cure mountain ghosts.
Zhou Ming temporarily suppressed the suspicion and curiosity in his heart.
I'm a staff member of the Great Kui Mountain Hotel.
"My current job is in the food and beverage department.”
"Ever since I joined the Great Kui Mountain's food and beverage department, I've witnessed the birth of many strange rules.”
"Why did the people in the hotel get lost?”
"Why must the staff of the food and beverage department wear white uniforms? Do you need to repeatedly look at the color of the Dragon Roar Pond's water during your work?”
Zhou Ming flipped through the contents of the notebook.
Many places were recorded in detail…However, there was no answer to the question that Zhou Ming was most concerned about.
How did this guy become a staff member of the Great Kui Mountain Hotel?
According to the current Timeline.
The Great Kui Mountain scenic area had been sealed off for at least two years. During this period, it was absolutely impossible for new people to join.
So... This employee was probably a former tourist here? Or the staff of the scenic area.
"As a staff member of the F B department, I'm not going to do anything.”
"My daily job is to be responsible for the dining needs of the tourists in the hotel. We are only responsible for the production. It needs to be carried out by the front desk."
"And there's a clear rule in the employee handbook that the food and beverage department employees are prohibited from delivering food to tourists.”
"All employees from other departments are forbidden from entering the F B department. If anything happens, they will report it directly to the security department.”
"Every morning at nine o'clock, the food and beverage department needs to send employees to collect the special delicacies of the Great Kui Mountain at 12:30 p. m. on time. The employees who have received this mission are forbidden to step on the hiking trails of the Great Kui Mountain.”
"And I often hear from my colleagues that when they carry out this job, they encounter strange things.”
"Great Kui Village clearly only has one village canteen, but when we arrive at Great Kui Village, we will see several village canteens operating at the same time.”
"If you encounter any of the above situations, you have to report it to the security department. I'm very puzzled by such a strange scene.”
Zhou Ming slowly flipped through the notebook in his hand.
Things were already quite interesting at this point.
Not only did Zhou Ming see many hidden routes, but he also found new routes. Different routes represented different meanings.
The chaotic path represented the deep chaotic space of the inner world.
"In addition, the food and beverage department must prepare a special drink every day. The raw material of this drink is taken from the Longyin Pool of the Great Kui Mountain. All employees need to drink this drink.”
Zhou Ming silently noted down these words. A small part of the truth of the Great Kui Mountain had already been revealed.
He began to think silently.
The effect of the Dragon Roar Pond's water was to remove pollution…Resist the pollution.
So... Drinking the drinks made by the food and beverage department was to keep the employees awake and not completely out of control.
Zhou Ming frowned as he thought about the answer. This ghost story had a very low margin of error. Once he made a mistake, there was no turning back.
He needed to think carefully before he could come up with an answer.
He flipped to the next page.
Zhou Ming flipped the diary to the next page.
"Not long ago, I was assigned this mission, which made me very afraid.”
"At that time, I was drawing water from the Longyin Pond, but a tourist suddenly appeared…The visitor seemed to want to ask a question, but I didn't have time to answer before I fled!”
" In the manual, it was said that we must be careful of those who come down from the mountain path…Be careful not to be discovered by it!"
The entire diary ended there.
This employee of the Food and Drink Department was actually the one that Zhou Ming had met at the Dragon Song Pond!
It was too much of a coincidence!
Zhou Ming pondered…There might be some connection between them.
Moreover, from this, it seemed…The staff of the food and beverage department had no idea that they had changed their route several times on the way, and they were completely unaware of the changes in the Great Kui Mountain.
The clues and notices here.
It almost echoed the rules on the starting point sign of the hiking trail.
Don't turn back.
Don't count the steps silently.
In addition, there was the warning not to set foot on the hiking trail at the starting point.
This was Great Kui Mountain…No matter where it was, as long as it crossed the yellow warning line, it was the inner world.
The legend of the mountain ghost had been circulating for a long time, but the hiking trail had indeed been built a few years ago.
Before the hiking trail…But there was only one old mountain road!
The end of this mountain path was the Mountain God Temple.
There was no fork in the road.
The hiking trail was one of the tools used by mountain ghosts to pollute tourists.
So... That was why there were so many tourist routes in the Great Kui Mountain…As long as it was within this area…There would be mountain ghosts.
Although he didn't know the purpose of building the Great Kui Mountain Hotel, he was still able to tell that this place was the best place to stay.
Basically, he could already confirm that the mastermind was the current investor of Great Kui Mountain.
He spent a lot of money to build a hiking trail and used metal signboards to confuse the tourists.
He had set up the Great Kui Mountain Hotel for those who had lost their correct understanding to live in.
He also used the water of the Dragon Roar Pond to brainwash the tourists who had lost their cognitive abilities, causing them to forget their past memories and hide the existence of the Great Kui Mountain Hotel.
This was the real truth!
......
"This kid is going to defy the heavens!"
The Military Fire Master had a big cigar in his mouth as he arrived with the Fairy Tale Artist.
"You're here? Did you find anything new?" Xu Changqing looked at the two people standing by the door. "The place you've been investigating recently... It seemed to have appeared in Great Kui Mountain.”
"Oh? Tell me?"
"Take a look." Xu Changqing took out a piece of paper from his hand. "This is the diary of a special operation team in that foggy world.”
The Fairy Tale Artist reached out and took the contents that Xu Changqing handed over, nodding slightly.
After briefly reading the content, he returned it to Xu Changqing. "It seems that there is a big connection between the few large worlds. It might be related to the owner of that scenic spot. As for the real culprit, we still have no clue.”
......
Beep beep beep! Beep beep beep!
At this moment, a communication device rang in Zhou Ming's pocket. Zhou Ming took out the communication device that suddenly appeared in his pocket, and a special notification appeared in front of him.
After testing, the number of people on duty who have received help from the Mountain God Temple has exceeded half. To ensure safety, we now officially announce: Mission failed!
All personnel, please evacuate the Great Kui Mountain within 24 hours.
Zhou Ming was stunned.
The mission failed?
The sinister feeling behind him grew stronger and stronger…It had fully verified the authenticity of this sentence.
He put the communicator back into his pocket and started thinking again.
Based on the current evidence…The boss of the scenic spot was indeed the mastermind behind the scenes.
but... Zhou Ming's intuition told him…All of this was not that simple. In the chaotic Great Kui Mountain, these things had actually become reasonable. This was the most unreasonable part.
However... If he wanted to find more clues, he might need to search deeper.
