032 Staff Manual
"You two have returned safely..."
Iwanaga Kotoko took off her beret, held it against her chest with one hand, and acted completely like a young lady from a prestigious family. Of course, she was indeed a young lady from a prestigious family.
"This is something I collected, I wonder if you two are interested?"
Seeing Iwanaga Kotoko take out something that looked like a manual, Yuuki Asuna frowned slightly and said.
"What is this?"
"The Hotel staff's work manual, which records the locations of all the facilities in this Hotel, as well as the structural floor plans of each floor."
Upon hearing this, Yuuki Asuna couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
In a horror instance in an unknown environment, the value of a manual like this is self-evident, isn't it?
For ordinary Players, they might not need this thing that much, after all, their goal is to find a safe place to hide, and then wait for the twelve-hour instance time limit to end. Regardless of the evaluation they get, being able to clear it and get rewards is enough.
But Yuuki Asuna and Asagiri were different.
Neither of them were the type of people who would be willing to just muddle through an instance. After all, in the eyes of Yuuki Asuna and Asagiri, if they didn't get a high-level clear evaluation, it would be equivalent to wasting the cooldown time for entering the instance.
"Are you asking for the information we obtained as an exchange?"
Hearing Yuuki Asuna's question, Iwanaga Kotoko shook her head, revealing a slight smile.
"No, I just want to ask you, oh, no..."
Speaking of this, Iwanaga Kotoko looked at Asagiri, who was standing there, and suddenly seemed a little shy.
"I just want to ask you one question. In exchange, after you answer, I will give you this manual."
Asagiri was very calm: "Ask away."
Iwanaga Kotoko's face showed joy, and then she asked an astonishing question that made Yuuki Asuna dumbfounded and even doubt her ears.
"Excuse me... do you have a girlfriend?"
What?
Looking at the somewhat shy Iwanaga Kotoko, Yuuki Asuna was full of question marks.
You brought such a valuable staff manual just to ask this?
If it were in the real world, Yuuki Asuna wouldn't be surprised at all, after all, Asagiri was so handsome, it was normal for girls to want to strike up a conversation.
The problem is... they were in an instance right now!
What kind of top-tier romance-brain is this?
"No."
"That's great."
Iwanaga Kotoko heard Asagiri's answer, her face full of joy, and directly handed the staff manual in her hand to Asagiri.
"As agreed, this is yours."
Just as Asagiri had just taken the manual from Iwanaga Kotoko, two figures suddenly appeared from the corner of the corridor.
"Hmm? Have those three people arrived?"
The Suit Man and the Woman with Heavy Makeup appeared together. Neither of them seemed to be injured, but just as they were about to walk over, Iwanaga Kotoko frowned slightly, directly raised her cane, pointed it at the two people, and slowly said.
"You... are possessed by the oddities of this Hotel."
"Poss... possessed? What are you talking about?"
The Woman with Heavy Makeup looked confused, while the Suit Man's face was displeased.
"We didn't encounter any Banshee, so where does this talk of possession come from..."
"Don't come any closer!"
When Iwanaga Kotoko suddenly shouted this, the Suit Man finally realized that this little girl, who looked like she was in junior high school, was not joking with him, but was serious. His expression became even more displeased, and his tone became tougher.
"Hey, what's with your attitude? What do you mean by being possessed by an oddity? That's just your side of the story. You suddenly say such a thing, I suspect you are the one who is possessed by an oddity. You two stay away from her, the four of us can just discuss together, ignore her."
Asagiri ignored the Suit Man. Seeing that he ignored him, Yuuki Asuna also remained silent.
Seeing that his words were not answered, the Suit Man's face couldn't help but show some embarrassment, and he couldn't help but shout at Asagiri in a tone that sounded like a superior ordering a subordinate.
"Didn't you hear me? I told you two to come over..."
"Shut up."
Before the Suit Man could finish speaking, Asagiri directly interrupted him, and then, under the horrified gaze of the Suit Man and the Woman with Heavy Makeup, he took out a black handgun from his Pregnant, and pointed the dark muzzle at the Suit Man.
"Shh, quiet down, I'm considering whether to kill you two directly."
"Gun... gun?"
Seeing Asagiri suddenly take out a gun and point it at himself, the Suit Man's face instantly turned pale, and his legs couldn't help but start to tremble.
What's going on?
When entering the instance, wasn't it forbidden to carry any type of weapon? Why does this guy have a gun?
Could it be... equipment rewarded after clearing the instance?
Unfair, unfair! How is that possible? I, who got a B+ clear evaluation, only got a golf club as an equipment reward. How could someone get a handgun as a clear reward!?
And Iwanaga Kotoko, seeing Asagiri suddenly take out a gun, also seemed a little surprised, but she didn't make any instinctive movements to back away, instead, she looked quite interested.
Among the people present, only Yuuki Asuna knew the truth.
Asagiri's gun was actually a summoner for summoning Persona, and it couldn't shoot bullets at all.
However, in the face of a "carbon-based creature cooler", unless one felt they could withstand or dodge bullets, no one dared to act rashly.
"Come, let's begin your honest confession session."
Asagiri revealed a slight smile and said softly.
"Tell me everything you've done since you separated from us, all the details, otherwise, I'll play the suona and send you two off happily."
Facing Asagiri's threat, the Suit Man first exchanged glances with the Woman with Heavy Makeup, then trembled as he spoke, completely losing the arrogance he had when he first entered the instance.
"I, after we separated from you, we first searched this floor... then we went to search the twenty-first floor, and then... and then we saw that there seemed to be no Banshee on the twenty-first floor, so we kicked open the door of a room, and then, and then..."
"And then what?"
Seeing the Suit Man look hesitant to speak, the Woman with Heavy Makeup, like a primary school student, carefully raised her hand and trembled as she spoke.
"And then... he asked me, asked me to do that... just bite..."
Hearing this, Yuuki Asuna's pretty face flushed, while Iwanaga Kotoko looked as if she had heard exciting gossip, looking very interested and wanting to hear the details.
And Asagiri, after a few seconds of silence, slowly spoke.
"You two..."
"Are you brain-dead?"
