The Lingering Aura

Absurd Deduction Game

Rushing into the teleportation array just as the space was about to collapse, Yu Xing found herself standing on the carpet in Daisy's room, completely undisturbed by the disturbance.

He then realized that a magic circle was hidden under the carpet.

After regaining his footing, he glanced up and met Daisy's angry and wary gaze.

Daisy sat upright on one side of the bed, her legs crossed. She had changed into a long black dress embroidered with gold thread, which made her look very dignified and noble. Her long hair was tied up at the back of her head and secured with a jade hairpin. However, her face was without any makeup, which could not hide her haggard appearance.

Only by looking at her like this can one see the true, painstaking efforts Daisy hides beneath her usual flirtatious demeanor.

After a two-second eye contact, Yu Xing simply smiled. Daisy opened her mouth as if to say something, but was interrupted by the sound of Calodi entering the room. There were specks of blood on the floor, all seeping from Calodi's body.

Even though they evacuated in time, they would still be injured while inside the collapsed space. It's just that Calodi's attention was not on himself before, and he didn't pay attention to these wounds at all.

"How are you?" Daisy's brow twitched, her voice lowered, and she reached out to help Calodi up.

Calodi then realized that he was in pain all over his body, and that the wounds were still covered by the chaotic spatial power, making them difficult to heal.

He pursed his lips and sighed, "It's alright, I have a solution, it'll be fine in a few days."

Having confirmed that Calodi was alright, Daisy turned her attention back to Yu Xing and realized that Yu Xing and Calodi had been teleported from the same place, yet Yu Xing had no injuries.

If they experienced the same thing, it only proves that Kalodi is much stronger than Kalodi.

"What exactly do you want!" Daisy no longer cared about Yu Xing's body; she only felt she had messed with someone she shouldn't have, and was filled with regret. "What have you done to my daughter?!"

Calodi had already entered through the teleportation array and told her that Yu Xing had gone to Xixi's room.

"If you're talking about the one reading on the sofa at night," Yu Xing, unconcerned by Daisy's attitude, as she found a wooden chair and sat down, "I killed it."

"How could you do this! I'll kill you!" Daisy's eyes widened instantly, and she lunged at Yu Xing.

Before her hysteria could fully subside, Yu Xing gently stopped her with one hand. "If you're talking about Xixi in the hotel lobby during the day... she's perfectly fine, she should still be sleeping on the first floor right now."

"?"

Both Daisy and Calodi were a little confused by his sudden change of heart.

Why should these two be discussed separately?

Aren't these two the same person?

Yu Xing turned her head. "The cursed space has been destroyed, and the inn's nights will return to normal. If you're worried, just go to the first floor to check on Xixi once the outside space stabilizes."

Xixi didn't check into any rooms; every night, she slept on the sofa in the hotel lobby.

It was precisely because of her sleeping position that the fake Xixi appeared so realistic to Daisy, since even the furnishings seemed to be similar.

Daisy, caught between grief and anger, was suddenly struck by good news. Her emotions were caught in a whirlwind, and her expression was priceless.

Because she had lunged at him, when she froze, she was positioned directly above Yu Xing, who was sitting. He reminded her, "Ms. Daisy, could you please not stand so close to me?"

Daisy's terror didn't disappear until she saw her daughter on the normal ground floor of the hotel 20 minutes later.

It was pitch black at night, and she groped her way toward the sofa without a care in the world. It was only after Yu Xing reminded Calodi to turn on the two fixed lamps that Daisy was able to spot the sleeping Xixi.

Xixi was wearing a very comfortable nightgown. Fortunately, there were only a few people in the hotel, and Daisy was usually in charge, so no one dared to have any inappropriate interest in Xixi. Therefore, Xixi slept quite casually at night.

From her sweet sleeping face, it was clear that she was not afraid of the darkness of the night, and perhaps even unaware of anything.

"... Xixi? Are you still alive?" Daisy wasn't sure, so she leaned forward and nudged Xixi, as if to make sure she was just asleep and not dead.

"... Hmm?" Xixi was half-asleep when she was woken up. She barely opened her eyes and saw two or three figures standing in front of the sofa in the dim light.

"Ah!" she screamed in fright, then came to her senses and realized who was standing there.

Xixi was angry for a moment, then said helplessly and with suppressed emotion, "Mom!? Why are you scaring me?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Daisy's emotions were in turmoil, and she even forgot to pretend to be her usual unreliable and bad mother in front of her daughter.

She had previously concealed the fact that Xixi was the source of the hotel's curse at night, for the sake of her daughter. She was also afraid that her daughter, who was completely unaware of the situation, would discover something during the day, and it would also make it easier to act at night. That's why she degraded herself and distanced herself from her daughter.

So the real Xixi didn't really like her mother that much.

"What exactly happened?" Carlodi calmed down before Daisy. He turned to her seriously. "Yori, although I know this isn't your real name, please allow me to call you that for now... Mr. Yori, what exactly did you do?"

The chaotic space of the night had been broken, and the lights on the first floor hadn't attracted anything else. Yu Xing thought that Daisy and Calodi must have already sensed something about the disappearance of the curse, but they just couldn't believe it.

He shrugged. "Why not just open the door and take a look?"

Apart from Xixi, no one else present was able to push open the hotel door due to the curse.

His words seemed to confirm something. Daisy trembled and hugged the bewildered Xixi tightly. Calodi slowly revealed a shocked expression, dragging his legs step by step to the front of the hotel.

Then, under everyone's gaze, he unlatched the door and gently pushed it open.

"Squeak"

The hotel door wasn't exactly new, and when it was pushed open, it naturally made a slightly jarring sound.

But this didn't affect Calodi's mood at all.

He stared in disbelief at the door that had been pushed open. As the crack in the door slowly widened, he saw the street outside. The street was wide and smooth, stretching as far as the eye could see on either side. Across the street was a bakery, and right next to the bakery was a carriage.

It was already curfew time, and the streets were unusually quiet with no pedestrians.

A cold night wind swept over me.

"It's really open... It's Purple Rose Street... We're really... back!"

For once, Calodi lost his composure and, disregarding everything else, rushed out, trembling.

He stepped directly onto the street outside the door.

Everything is real, unlike in so many years before when I could only see a false view of the outside world through the window of my room.

Bricks and tiles, streetlights, cold wind.

This is the feeling of truly being part of this world.

"Oh my god, what happened?" Xixi was the most confused one there. She didn't know why the hotel's curse seemed to have disappeared after she woke up.

Daisy exclaimed excitedly, "The curse is gone... Yuri, it was you, did you do it? You helped us?"

Yu Xing touched her hair and hissed.

In the minds of the people in the hotel, it seemed that they were trapped in a normal place that fit their era, only that they had been stuck in the hotel for many years and could not get out.

However, in his mind, he came from the Dead Silent Island. He knocked on the door of the only remaining building on the Dead Silent Island, which led him to the curse of the hotel.

The scene before him seemed to indicate that he had directly broken the curse, allowing the object to return to its original place?

What about Dead Silent Island?

He was blind, and it seemed he had indeed escaped the predicament of being left behind on the Dead Silent Island by the system, but the problem was that he seemed to have entered a world where it was uncertain whether there was a system or not.

Isn't that embarrassing?

In response to Daisy's question, Yu Xing hummed in agreement, then closed her eyes to focus her senses.

The surrounding curses seemed to have been completely eradicated; there was no sign of anything unusual.

Suddenly, his expression shifted slightly.

It wasn't entirely without its oddities; a faint, familiar scent lingered on the hotel's door.

Yu Xing walked over quickly and touched the spot where he sensed the presence.

This place is outside the hotel entrance.

It seemed to be the spot he touched when he knocked on the hotel door on the Dead Silent Island.

The atmosphere of the Dead Silent Island still lingers here, along with subtle spatial fluctuations.

Yu Xing had a premonition that he could do something with this residual aura, such as having Calodi create a teleportation array based on it, which might allow him to freely travel between the real world where the hotel was located and the Dead Silent Island.

Similarly, if he could find any trace of his own world, he could do the same to return to his world and find his teammates.

It's been so long! I wonder how Xiao Ququ, Zhu Yan, and Brother Jiu are doing.

In conclusion, the current development was unexpected, but it is a very good result.

He turned to Daisy, who had also come to the gate with her daughter, and said, "Ms. Daisy, I've done you such a big favor, I wonder if I could ask for something in return?"

Daisy was actually a little afraid of him now, but her excitement and gratitude were genuine. She nervously clenched her fingers. "What do you want to say?"

Yu Xing: "I'd like to borrow Mr. Calodi for a moment."
