Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise

Chapter 130

"Why are you in my head?" Gu Wanyin asked coldly. "Where's my system?"

"Host, I am your system now," 066's voice replied.

066's voice was completely different from 088's, with an eerie quality to it.

Suppressing her anger, Gu Wanyin asked again, "Where's 088?"

The word "save" that 088 had uttered before its voice disappeared left Gu Wanyin feeling very uneasy.

"088 no longer has anything to do with the host. Please prepare yourself to enter the horror world," 066 stated.

"Are you joking?" Gu Wanyin sneered. "You think you can just say we have no connection and that's it? Arbitrarily changing my system without my consent? As for the horror world, whoever wants to go can go. I'm not going. You'd better tell me quickly where 088 is."

"Host, if you don't enter the horror world, according to the rules, you will be eliminated from this world," 066's voice sounded even more sinister.

But Gu Wanyin wasn't worried at all. She even took a sip of water.

"Do you think I'm an idiot? I've ranked first so many times in a row. You think you can just eliminate me and the Interstellar Alliance will let you off? "

066: "..."

It didn't speak, just made a couple of rustling sounds, as if angry but unable to do anything about Gu Wanyin.

"You don't have to tell me where 088 is. We can just stay like this. When you can't earn points and can't even get on the ranking board, let's see how long the Interstellar Alliance will tolerate you."

066 still didn't respond. Just then, there was a knock on Gu Wanyin's door.

She got up and opened it to find a short-haired woman with glasses standing outside.

Gu Wanyin felt the woman looked somewhat familiar.

As soon as she saw her, Qiao Xi spoke, "You're Gu Wanyin, right? I'm Dr. Shen's assistant, Qiao Xi. Oh, Dr. Shen is the one who created 088."

Hearing this, Gu Wanyin's eyes lit up.

Of course! 088 had mentioned before that his creator had an excellent assistant named Qiao Xi, and had even shown her a photo.

It was the woman standing before her.

Gu Wanyin immediately asked, "That's great, I was just worried about who to ask. Why did 088 suddenly disappear, and why is 066 in my head now?"

Qiao Xi frowned and said, "To make a long story short, something might have happened to Dr. Shen. He's currently out of contact, and we don't know if he's alive or dead. So, 066 and its creator took advantage of the situation, forcibly dragged 088 into the horror world and hid it, then bound 066 to you."

"I can't believe this happened. Doesn't the Interstellar Alliance care?" Gu Wanyin asked, puzzled.

"088 was favored before, but that was all due to Dr. Shen's influence. Now that Dr. Shen is missing, everyone in the Interstellar Alliance is busy looking for him, so naturally they can't pay attention to... this small matter. And I'm just an assistant, so... I'm sorry."

Qiao Xi's words were harsh, but they were the truth. In the eyes of those in the Interstellar Alliance, 088 was just a system created by Dr. Shen. Now that Dr. Shen was missing, they naturally wouldn't care much about 088.

But it was different for Gu Wanyin.

088 was an important partner to her. No matter what, she couldn't stand by and do nothing.

"Then how can I go and rescue 088?"

Qiao Xi was taken aback by her determined gaze, then quickly said, "Actually, the reason I came was to ask you to save 088. If it stays in the horror world for too long, it might malfunction, and then... it would be similar to death for you humans."

However, she hadn't expected Gu Wanyin to voluntarily offer to save 088.

No wonder 088 had always spoken so highly of Gu Wanyin, and 066 had been so obsessed with her.

"Absolutely not!" Gu Wanyin immediately said.

Then she felt a rustling sound in her mind, as if 066 was displeased.

But Gu Wanyin didn't care.

Qiao Xi continued, "I'm afraid you'll have to go to the horror world, and you'll have to complete missions there because 088 is hidden in one of the missions."

"Hehe..." 066's voice sounded, "She's right. So, host, you can't escape it no matter what. You still have to complete missions. And in the horror world, your invincibility buff won't work, so you could die at any moment. But don't worry, as long as you complete my tasks well and help me earn points, I'll naturally reward you and protect you..."

Before it could finish, Gu Wanyin turned to Qiao Xi and said, "Alright, I understand. Do you have any way to get 066 out of my head? It's too noisy."

066: "..."

How rude!

Qiao Xi apologetically said, "I'm sorry, I can't do that with my current abilities. After all, I'm just an assistant, and I hadn't learned much from Dr. Shen before he left."

"That's alright," Gu Wanyin said.

"But I'll be keeping an eye on you from the Interstellar Alliance. Don't worry, I'll do everything I can to help you," Qiao Xi assured her.

According to Interstellar Alliance rules, she couldn't enter the horror missions herself.

Otherwise, she would have gone with Gu Wanyin.

"Okay, thank you. I'll go prepare and leave right away. By the way, the hotel's protection mechanism should still be in place, right?"

"Don't worry about that. I'll make sure the protection mechanism remains active, and all facilities will function normally."

"That's good."

With the hotel's protection mechanism in place, it wouldn't be a problem for her to leave for a while, since the staff would be managing things.

She had to go and save 088.

Even if going to the horror world would be fraught with danger...

After Qiao Xi left, Gu Wanyin went back and opened the jewelry box Long Yu had given her. She put on all the jewelry inside.

These pieces of jewelry were all beautiful and delicate. Even wearing them all at once didn't look too gaudy.

Since she wouldn't have her invincibility buff when completing missions in the horror world, the magical jewelry from Long Yu would certainly come in handy.

She also took the dagger and gun that 088 had specially modified for her.

This made her feel a bit more at ease.

After doing all this, she went to instruct Xu Shi, Fang Yang, and the other staff members, telling them that she would be away for a while and that they would be responsible for managing all hotel affairs during this time.

She also asked them to take care of Cola Burger for a while.

However, she didn't tell them where she was going or what she was going to do.

Gu Wanyin had left before, so the staff were used to it and weren't too surprised.

"Don't worry, boss!" Xu Shi patted his chest, guaranteeing, "With us here, everything will be fine."

"Mm, I'm counting on you all."

After giving all the instructions, Gu Wanyin returned to her room and calmly said to 066 in her mind, "Weren't we going to the horror world? We can leave now."
