Riddler, Get Out of Gotham City

No one can explain the situation in this absurd world.

On his way to this hotel, Bai Zhi had observed the humans of this world. Based on their basic appearance, the humans of this world could be roughly divided into three Type.

Incomplete limbs, extra limbs, intact limbs.

The former was the most numerous, followed by the middle, and the latter was the fewest; he only discovered a handful along the way.

Li Changyu's case likely falls into the category of having an extra limb; he has an ear growing out of the back of his neck, and he's completely unaware of it... or perhaps he should be aware of it?

As the first two people to arrive at this hotel, if even Li Changyu got into trouble, then that Big Sister's Panties probably aren't in much better shape either.

But what was the reason? The other party had only arrived a few hours earlier than us, yet they inexplicably fell victim to the attack. What caused these abnormal changes in their bodies?

Without any clues, Bai Zhi couldn't guess anything.

"By the way, you said before that you could communicate with the world, so how do you feel about this world now?"

As if suddenly remembering something, Bai Zhi asked the Girl in front of him a question.

Does the world itself give you any response?

"... chaos, madness, like the delirium of Madman."

After a moment of silence, the Girl pointed to her ear.

"I can't listen to too much, otherwise I'll be affected too."

"Is that so? Then let's play it by ear."

Bai Zhi reached up and pressed his forehead, letting out a soft sigh.

"Be careful from now on. It's best not to drink the water in the room or drink the breakfast provided by the hotel. After all, who knows what caused this physical mutated..."

Although in the end, even if something strange appeared on his body, he could have an amputation surgery done at the Infirmary, Bai Zhi still felt uneasy.

"Good."

The Girl nodded calmly.

The luggage the system prepared for them consisted of only a few items: two sets of clothes to change into, a large bag of unopened Compressed Biscuits, and neatly stacked Mineral Water in the suitcase.

"... Isn't it food and water?"

Upon seeing the contents of the suitcase, Bai Zhi couldn't help but frown slightly.

Out of basic caution, and being Elite after all, Li Changyu and his companions couldn't possibly choose other foods when the system had already provided them with food and water.

"Let's go down."

Bai Zhi casually stuffed a few packets of Compressed Biscuits into his pocket, closed his Suitcase again, placed it by the bed, and then began to speak to the Girl in front of him.

The Girl didn't answer, but responded with her actions. She picked up the guitar next to her, slung it over her shoulder, and pointed outside.

I'm going out for a bit.

It was now night, and the sky was completely dark, though the light drizzle outside had intensified slightly.

The hotel corridors were always Lights up. When Bai Zhi and the others came down to the first floor in the elevator, Li Changyu was sitting on the Sofa in the lobby, lost in thought, with his back to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Upon seeing them come down, the other person quickly reached out and waved to him.

"Have the Fireworks of Romance guests arrived yet...?"

Bai Zhi glanced at the Hotel Front Desk Manager, who was bent over in front of the computer, seemingly busy with something, and then walked over to the Sofa and sat down.

As for the Girl beside him, she silently walked into the rain alone with her guitar on her back, and soon disappeared from sight.

When did you arrive here?

Bai Zhi sat down on the Sofa and looked at Li Changyu, whose expression seemed a little off for some reason, and asked him a question.

"Half a day ago."

Li Changyu sighed slightly and replied.

"When I arrived at this hotel, Panties had already checked in. We shared a room and were waiting for you both."

"You're here so early?"

Upon hearing the other party's words, Bai Zhi was slightly taken aback.

Based on the time comparison, the other party should have arrived only two or three hours earlier than them... almost half a day?

"That's right, Panties me."

Nodding slightly, Li Changyu took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one for himself, and then took out a cigarette and offered it to Bai Zhi.

"Anyway, it's good that you're here, but let's skip the dinner tonight. Panties and I have already eaten; we ordered takeout."

"Didn't you hear what they said on TV? Smoking is harmful to your health."

Rolling his eyes, Bai Zhi reached out and took the cigarette offered to him.

"The others haven't arrived yet. Since you've already eaten, is there anything else you need from me?"

"Let's chat. It's too stuffy in the room, and it's raining outside."

Exhaling, Li Changyu looked up at the hotel ceiling.

"Actually, I don't really like smoking, but I've heard that men who smoke are the most Charisma, especially on rainy days, it Perfect complements my melancholic temperament... Speaking of which, I need to go back and read the guidebook that came with the hotel. It has a lot of information about the surrounding scenery. I suggest you read it too. We need to plan tomorrow's itinerary properly. Don't you get bored staying in the hotel all day? Oh, and don't bother us tonight, let's talk tomorrow."

Li Changyu smiled at him, stood up from the Sofa, and walked towards the elevator.

From this rear side angle, Bai Zhi could clearly see the ear that grew on the back of the other person's neck. Before long, the other person's figure quickly disappeared from his sight.

"This seems kind of interesting..."

Looking down at the cigarette in his hand, which was clearly re-rolled, Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly and unrolled it.

Then, a few messy, hastily written characters appeared before him.

[Watch out for your Panties, don't open the door at night--]

The handwriting is faint and slightly messy, but it is still legible if you want to read it.

"..."

He frowned slightly, crumpled the cigarette and tobacco in his hand into a ball, stood up from the Sofa, Bai Zhi threw it into the Trash Can next to him.

After glancing back at the elevator, Bai Zhi walked to the hotel entrance and squinted at the rain outside.

Things seem to be getting more and more complicated.

Two Player had arrived at the hotel earlier than planned.

One of them is [Royal Qianren], formerly known as Li Changyu, who holds the Title [Old Otaku].

The other one is [Big Sister's Panties], real name unknown, possessing the Title [Protagonist Aura].

Judging from the current situation, both Player seem to be in a rather dire predicament, as evidenced by Li Changyu's previous performance.

Why is only Li Changyu showing up? Where is the Panties? Li Changyu is clearly aware of the abnormality in his body, so what is his current situation? And what about that ambiguous message left in the System Interface...?

"That's why I hate Riddler..."

Watching the two figures carrying Suitcase running towards them in the rain not far away, Bai Zhi let out a slight sigh.
