"Ding-a-ling-"
After announcing the start of the afternoon's game, the Zombie Waiter rang the bell in its hand.
Su Bai and the other players had imagined that, to recover Ai Qing's and Liu Yongzhi's missing body parts, they would have to search the entire Happy Hotel and determine where those strange creatures had hidden the "treasures" they had stolen.
That was precisely why the sudden development a moment later left all the players stunned.
