5190, XX month XX day, cloudy:

I've already left a will; other than that, there seems to be nothing else worth recording.

Moreover, even if we record things now, we don't know if they will still have any meaning, and they might all end up with the same fate.

5190, XX Month XX Day, Sunny:

I thought about it for a long time, but I still don't want to give up.

This notebook contains the whole truth. I cannot simply let the truth disappear; I must preserve it!

5190, XX month XX day, cloudy:

Although I had expected it, I still couldn't accept it when I found out it was the truth.

Just now, my last hope was shattered.

All external communication devices in the world have been completely destroyed; this place has become a living hell.

Unfortunately, this time I used a special power to connect to the outside world, and this power may have already been discovered.

Perhaps my existence will also be exposed to them.

I don't know what awaits me next.

5190, XX month XX day, cloudy:

I might be the last survivor in this area.

Today I entered a hotel through the ventilation ducts, and I intend to leave this notebook here, perhaps because my life is about to end here.

Then came just more meaningless symbols.

To Lin Yu's disappointment, the interlayered pages of the notebook didn't seem to contain much useful information either; they were still filled with the same ambiguous statements from before.

The world that was terrifying to the notebook's owner was beyond Lin Yu's comprehension. His writing was too monotonous and self-centered; it seemed to have recorded a lot of things, but in reality, it contained no useful information.

As Lin Yu watched, he felt increasingly drowsy and gradually drifted into a dream.

Even in his sleep, Lin Yu was still pondering the things recorded in the notebook.

However, to Lin Yu's surprise, before he had even officially begun his investigation, someone had already come to him on their own initiative!

"Click... click..."

Lin Yu was awakened by a noise. Fortunately, he wasn't in a deep sleep to begin with, and the transition from a deep sleep to an awake state took only a second.

The instant the commotion occurred, Sanok had already dashed out like an arrow released from a bow.

Because that commotion came from the dangerous situation that Sanok had set up!

When Lin Yu first arrived at the hotel, he had Sanok remove the surveillance cameras. After removing them, Sanok also left traps in some necessary places.

Unexpectedly, the trap was effective very quickly after it was set up!

Although Sanok hadn't slept all night, he wasn't particularly exhausted, and he rushed out in just a moment.

The noise just now, coincidentally, came from the ventilation duct!

After Lin Yu woke up, he didn't rush to the ventilation duct. Instead, he leisurely walked to the sofa. He knew that Sanok had already rushed out. The other party didn't seem to be very skilled. Sanok was probably more than capable of dealing with him.

Lin Yu's suite was located on the top floor of the hotel. When he first checked in, Lin Yu had already instructed the waiters not to disturb them unless otherwise specified.

However, right now, a person dressed as a waiter has passed through their ventilation ducts.

Putting aside why this guy chose the ventilation duct instead of the proper stairs, his clothing and the place he was in were strange enough.

The waiter seemed surprised that someone had left a trap in the ventilation duct, and that it was so difficult to escape. He panicked for a moment and looked utterly desperate when he saw Sanok.

"Hello! I'm a hotel staff member. I'd like to ask if you need any... services, sir!"

The waiter was practically dragged in by Sanok; his whole body looked extremely reluctant and unnatural.

The waiter was forced in front of Lin Yu by Sanok, and his expression was far from pleasant.

Lin Yu looked at his pale face and sneered, "If I remember correctly, I specifically told your hotel manager not to let the waiters come up here unless necessary. And putting everything else aside, why are you climbing that stairs when there are perfectly good stairs available?"

The waiter, clearly embarrassed, rushed towards Lin Yu's feet, pleading, "Guest! Respected guest! I'm so sorry, this... this was my own idea! Please, please don't let the hotel manager know!"

As the waiter spoke, he began to tremble, as if he were a working man who was about to lose his job because of this incident.

Lin Yu snorted coldly and directly scanned the waiter's spiritual sea with his mental power.

However, to Lin Yu's surprise, the waiter's spiritual sea actually showed that what he said was true!

In other words, everything the waiter just rambled on about was actually true, and he wasn't lying!

Lin Yu's expression immediately turned somewhat ugly. The waiter's behavior seemed abnormal no matter how you looked at it, but his mental sea was perfectly harmonious. It was truly outrageous!

"System, analyze this guy's spiritual sea!" Lin Yu had no choice but to summon the Hongmeng System.

However, to Lin Yu's disappointment, the Hongmeng System didn't yield any new discoveries.

According to the Hongmeng System's deductions, the waiter in front of us is indeed a master of petty theft. He uses his position as a waiter to frequently visit hotel rooms and steal valuables from guests when they are not around.

Hearing the conclusions of the Hongmeng System, Lin Yu frowned again.

It's reasonable, yet it's also unreasonable!

First of all, this hotel is not an ordinary hotel; it is a very high-end hotel in itself.

Waiters should be trained, and such tasteless behavior should never have come from them.

In addition, this hotel is not low in number, so even if he wanted to do something, he wouldn't need to move around in the ventilation ducts. Although his mental sea is normal, his behavior reveals something abnormal in every way.

Moreover, the waiter didn't seem to have any special abilities. The fact that he climbed such a high ventilation duct without even breaking a sweat or getting out of breath only suggests that there's something more to it.

"Calling it a ventilation duct is an understatement; it's more like a secret passageway connecting the entire hotel," Lin Yu thought coldly.

Even though his mind had been in turmoil for a long time, Lin Yu's expression remained unchanged, still exuding an imposing aura. He simply stared coldly at the waiter in front of him.
