Chapter 1185 - 1151: Desperate Conjecture

Yang Jian directly kicked open the door and walked into the room without a room number.

It was a suite, spacious, with several people hiding inside. With just a quick glance, he saw three people standing in different positions, looking at him warily and with hostility. However, their clothing was quite peculiar, each with characteristics from different eras.

The middle-aged man with an old face who opened the door looked like an old farmer, wearing cloth shoes, with rolled-up pants, dark skin, and a somewhat thin build.

The one opposite was a young man, dressed in a suit, but the style was rather old, like something from the eighties or nineties.

The last one was a woman dressed in a dress with a headband on, her short hair neatly combed, not looking like someone from the present.

“Don’t be nervous, his name is Yang Jian, and the other two are his teammates. They are people who came in from the outside and aren’t our enemies for now.”

At this moment, Ah Nan quickly walked in, hastily explaining to prevent either side from suddenly starting a fight.

Upon hearing this, the expressions on the three people’s faces slightly relaxed, but they still suspiciously scrutinized Yang Jian.

“Are you sure he’s a person who broke in from the outside and not a vengeful ghost? Just now he kicked open that door with one kick—something a living person couldn’t do.” The one speaking was the young man in the suit, still filled with vigilance, distrustful of Yang Jian.

It’s hard to trust anyone when you can’t even trust yourself in this place.

The reason they banded together was to increase their survival rate and continuously pass on information from this place.

This was a new way of surviving.

It’s much better than dying continuously here, and continuously coming back to life.

“Whether he’s a living person or a vengeful ghost doesn’t matter, at least I haven’t seen him here before, and there’s no mention of anyone named Yang Jian in my information. He might really be someone who came in from the outside,”

The woman in the floral dress said seriously.

The middle-aged man with the old face stood silently by the side, not saying a word.

“Are you like Ah Nan, trapped here, continuously dying and coming back to life?” Yang Jian frowned, looking at the three of them again.

“Ah Nan, did you even tell him about this?” The young man in the suit said, somewhat displeased.

Ah Nan said, “If you want to learn more and break free from the nightmare we’re trapped in, you can’t miss any opportunity. We’ve hardly encountered anyone from the outside during our countless resurrections and explorations, so I think it’s very important for us to meet him this time.”

“Makes sense,” the woman with the headband nodded slightly.

“Since we’re not enemies, let’s introduce ourselves. Your name is Yang Jian, right? I’m Zhu Jian, nice to meet you for the first time, please take care of me.” The man in the suit walked over, extending his hand.

Yang Jian’s face was cold; he extended his ghost hand, cold and black.

Zhu Jian saw the eerie palm and paused for a moment, hesitating to shake hands.

However, he eventually forced a smile, grasping the cold hand.

“We’re not exactly enemies, but we’re not friends either,” Yang Jian said coldly.

“Understood,” Zhu Jian said.

“I’m Dong Yulan, and I apologize for what happened earlier, Mister Yang. We were just overly cautious.” The woman with the headband smiled apologetically.

The middle-aged man with the old face said, “My name is Wang Genquan, nothing special, I used to be a farmer.”

Yang Jian glanced at them, and simply said, “My teammates, Li Yang, Tong Qian.”

Li Yang and Tong Qian nodded in acknowledgment, indicating they had met.

Although they exchanged some pleasantries, deep down everyone was aware that they weren’t the same kind of people, and their positions were unclear, making them unworthy of trust. If something really happened, the other party would likely become an enemy.

Yang Jian at this moment walked into the living room of the suite, found a sofa and sat down, saying to the others, “I only have one purpose for coming here: to ensure that the vengeful ghost won’t appear outside and cause a paranormal event. As long as this principle isn’t violated, everything is negotiable.”

“Conversely, if anyone wants to challenge this bottom line, then sorry, no matter how special you are, I won’t let it go.”

“Our positions don’t conflict; you want to keep the ghost inside this Kaiser Hotel, and we just want to find a right way to leave here,” Zhu Jian said as he walked over. “We only need freedom.”

Yang Jian glanced, “How long have you been trapped here?”

“About sixty years or so,” Zhu Jian said.

“All these years, you haven’t found a way out?” Yang Jian asked.

Zhu Jian said, “Obviously, I haven’t succeeded. If I had, I wouldn’t be here. After all, there’s indeed too much danger here. Once you die, you have to start over, becoming a newcomer entering this place for the first time, and I can foresee how high the mortality rate is for a newcomer lacking sufficient information and growth.”

“Ah Nan has been stuck here even longer, hasn’t he? But this time, I think it’s the best chance because this time, all four of us are together, and we’ve already reached the final room. As long as we find a way out, all four of us can regain freedom.”

He was confident at the moment, feeling this was the closest to the exit in decades.

If there’s a next time in the resurrection, there definitely won’t be such luck, to smoothly escape the maze of countless corridors and arrive at this Caesars Hotel.

“You have quite a few people, enough time to find a way out, yet you all still remain here. I think that’s abnormal,” Yang Jian said coldly.

“What are you trying to say?” The woman named Dong Yulan also came over, with a bit of curiosity and confusion.

Yang Jian said, “Maybe you’ve had records of successfully escaping here in the past few times. It’s just that you are too special to break away from this ghost place. Perhaps after you leave here, you will die immediately and then resurrect in the room you were in.”

“And the resurrected you forget the fact that you successfully escaped here, becoming a newbie again, gingerly exploring.”

“An astonishing hypothesis,” Ah Nan squinted his eyes slightly, looking at him with some amazement.

This person is indeed extraordinary.

With just a few words, he came to an incredible conclusion, and this conclusion is very likely true.

For a moment, the other three fell silent.

“Your deduction is interesting, almost flawless, because I can’t find any evidence to refute you. If, as you say, we will die upon leaving here, then as long as we remain unaware of this, we can’t leave any information to prove we have ever left.”

The original source is *.

Dong Yulan took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, telling herself this outcome should not be true.

If it were true, it would be too despairing.

“Why do you have such a thought?” Zhu Jian stared at Yang Jian and asked.

Yang Jian sneered, “Because I believe you didn’t mysteriously appear in Caesars Hotel. I think you were kidnapped by someone and thrown into Caesars Hotel, so your appearance here is no coincidence, but destiny.”

“Someone has targeted you, seeing certain qualities or potential in you, so they threw you directly in here, subjecting you to this curse of constant resurrection, and constantly wandering here, dealing with ghosts.”

“What their purpose is, I don’t know just yet. But I have reason to believe that if you are chosen ones, then you won’t be let go so easily.”

“If finding an exit worked, you would have found it decades ago and left, so the only explanation is, the moment you step out of here, you will most likely die instantly, or the reason you can keep resurrecting is because of some curse.”

“And that curse, though it allows you to keep resurrecting in one of the rooms here, comes at a price.”

The old farmer named Wang Genquan smacked his lips and said, “Perhaps the price is never being able to leave here.”

“I don’t believe it, I absolutely won’t believe such a result, it’s all just your speculation without evidence,” Zhu Jian immediately shouted, somewhat agitated.

Li Yang sneered, “Don’t underestimate a captain’s judgment. Don’t you yourselves have doubts? One trapped for eighty-two years, another for sixty years, such a long time and not escaping even once seems unbelievable. Even in the most dangerous places, there are always a few strokes of luck avoiding all dangers and getting out alive.”

“We need evidence. Without evidence, we will not believe your deduction,” Dong Yulan said.

Tong Qian said, “If you want evidence, it’s simple. Just find the exit, leave here and see if you end up dead or alive, then everything will be clear. However, during the time this Caesars Hotel was closed, I did see a few special corpses remaining in a corner of the hotel.”

“Those corpses were highly decayed, faces indistinct, but judging from their clothing, it didn’t seem like modern dress, resembling your style instead.”

“Maybe they are the ones who successfully escaped from this supernatural place.”

Tong Qian shared some of her previous clues.

This is not a fabrication, it’s true.

Yang Jian was also recalling, remembering that when he last came to Caesars Hotel, he did see a few highly decayed corpses, those were ordinary human corpses, and they didn’t seem to be residents of this city.

Considering this event now, his deduction seems to be very likely true.
