Chapter 012: A Shocking Turn of Events

Chapter 012: A Shocking Turn of Events

Getting too impatient?

Recalling the scene in the first-floor lobby where Lin Ye stripped the eerie female staff member and tore her stockings, Ai Hoshino felt a mix of embarrassment and understanding.

This strange and dangerous hotel might look manageable with Lin Ye's calm demeanor, but the pressure he faced must be immense!

Stopping time was indeed a powerful superpower, but it couldn't directly resolve the current crisis or clear the game to escape the hotel.

Blushing, Ai Hoshino felt a bit shy. Her hands instinctively tugged at the hem of her shirt, and her bright eyes nervously darted around.

"Um... Lin Ye-kun, isn't this... a bit too fast?"

Finally, she said it.

This hotel was too dangerous, not the place for that kind of thing. Besides, she was an inexperienced girl, an idol longing for a pure love story.

What she dreamed of was dating someone she loved, enjoying a fun day together, and then finally sharing a romantic night not skipping straight to the last step like this.

"Fast?"

Seeing Ai Hoshino's reaction, Lin Ye immediately understood what she was thinking.

"I think it's too slow! Go take your shower already. Once you're done, it's my turn. Rule 8 doesn't specify a time limit for showering, but I think it's best if we finish before 10 PM."

The times listed in the rules often hinted at something significant.

After 10 PM, the hotel would likely undergo a dramatic change.

Hearing this, Ai Hoshino quickly realized her misunderstanding. Her hands floundered, unsure where to place them, her face filled with awkwardness. She had completely misread the situation!

"Ah, I see... I'll go right away!"

As Ai Hoshino turned toward the bathroom, Lin Ye's voice called out again.

"Ai, were you just imagining things? Thinking of doing something with me?"

The teasing tone in his voice brought a sudden crimson flush to Ai Hoshino's pale cheeks.

"I was not... I wasn't thinking about anything like that!" she retorted. But as she dashed into the bathroom, she clenched her fists and stomped her foot, trying to calm her turbulent emotions.

Soon,

She pressed a few buttons, and the bathroom's heater kicked on. The sound of running water filled the space.

Slowly, she began removing her clothes, neatly placing each piece on the counter.

So much had happened tonight.

When the warm water soaked through her black-purple hair, Ai Hoshino felt a brief moment of relaxation.

Showering or bathing had always been her way to unwind after practice or a concert.

But this time, soaking in the tub wasn't an option.

"Breathe..."

Yet,

Why did it feel like someone was watching her?

Instinctively, Ai Hoshino turned to look to the side. In an instant, she froze.

What was supposed to be a frosted, privacy-glass wall was now completely transparent.

Through the glass, she could clearly see Lin Ye sitting on the bed, resting.

And Lin Ye's gaze was fixed in her direction.

Their eyes met.

"Ahh...!"

Ai Hoshino immediately covered herself with her hands, her blush returning in full force.

Why, why... why did this happen? Why did the bathroom glass suddenly turn transparent?!

Lin Ye, noticing her reaction, calmly nodded and shifted his gaze away.

Not bad. Watching a beautiful idol shower was certainly a pleasant sight.

Faced with such an unexpected "blessing," he didn't mind enjoying it.

This is the second dimension, after all.

If there's a perk, why not take it?

The scene Ai Hoshino unknowingly offered could be seen as repayment for the help he'd given her in this "love hotel."

With that thought, Lin Ye allowed himself to admire her momentarily. However, now that Ai Hoshino had noticed, he felt it was only right to stop.

"Click..."

Snapping back to her senses, Ai Hoshino hurriedly pressed the control panel, restoring the frosted privacy glass to its original opaque state.

Yet, her shame remained undiminished.

"What do I do? He saw everything... ugh, so embarrassing!"

Finally, the clock struck 10 PM.

The hotel's main lights flickered a few times before shutting off, leaving only a few dim ambient lights to faintly illuminate the room.

The bathroom light remained steady, but suddenly, the sound of running water stopped abruptly.

Ai Hoshino looked up in confusion. Moments later, the water resumed with a hissing sound.

But this time, a blackish-red liquid sprayed out from the showerhead.

In an instant, Ai Hoshino's eyes widened in horror. She stumbled backward, tripping and falling to the floor.

"What's going on?"

Lin Ye immediately sprang to his feet.

"Blood... it's all blood!"

Rushing to the bathroom, Lin Ye saw the black-red liquid spraying from the showerhead. Without hesitation, he dashed inside, grabbing the terrified girl from the floor and pulling her out of the bathroom. Carefully, he avoided letting the liquid touch either of them and managed to shut off the shower.

10 PM. Something's wrong.
