Chapter 826: Interception Of The Lost Dog’s Pod Hotel
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Sanjiu was very familiar with Dali’s footsteps .
During her stay in the Lost Dog’s Pod Hotel, she would always wake up to a series of light and hurried footsteps in the morning . As the owner of the hotel, there were a lot of things waiting for Dali to settle every day . The moment the sun went up, she had to run up and down the corridor like a busy bee, collecting room fare and distributing breakfast for her guests .
Right now, at 3 o’clock in the wee hours, her footsteps were echoing down the corridor .
At the end of the T-shaped corridor, a silhouette was growing in size . Lin Sanjiu called out for her [Tornado Whip], but she soon kept it back after a short bout of rumination . Putting everything aside, Dali was considered her friend as well, and The Lost Dog’s Pod Hotel was her precious belonging . If she were to use her [Tornado Whip] in here, she was certain that she would obliterate half the building .
Dali slowly emerged from the darkness . Her blouse and her ornaments glittered with every step she took . She turned around and gazed at Lin Sanjiu, but she did not walk to her . Instead, she walked into the corridor to her right and vanished from Lin Sanjiu’s sight .
‘Isn’t she coming for me?’
Frowning, Lin Sanjiu listened as Dali walked further and further away . She seemed to be on her way to the back of the hotel . Seizing her opportunity before the hypnosis began to influence Dali, she hurriedly turned into another corridor and began searching for Ryuji’s room .
From the back of the hotel, an ear-grating metallic shrill rang out . Apparently, Dali was closing the back door . It seemed that she had indeed been hypnotized and was trying to trap Lin Sanjiu inside the Lost Dog’s Pod Hotel .
Lin Sanjiu could not come up with an idea about how to deal with Dali .
She could not retaliate with the [Unfinished Drawing] as anything that was sucked into the drawing could not be released anymore . She had left the [Battle Item] at Bliss, and there was no handy ability in the [Empty-handed Kleptomaniac] . The [How to render] that she used to distort the light when she was facing Bliss had no effect here either .
After going through all her Evolving Abilities and Special Items, she realized that all of them were too powerful to be used here . Lin Sanjiu let out a sigh as she stopped in front of a door . She rapped on the door and said in a low voice, “Ryuji, it’s me, Lin Sanjiu . Open the door . ”
However, there was no reply from the room . Perhaps he was too exhausted from all the running and hiding that he had fallen into a deep sleep .
With that thought in mind, Lin Sanjiu changed another approach and kicked the door . Originally, with her current strength, she could easily lay waste to the door with a simple kick . However, it seemed to her that the door was exceptionally sturdier than any ordinary door outside . Perhaps, it was because this building was a Special Item .
“Ryuji, open the door!” Lin Sanjiu urged again . Then, she heard Dali’s footsteps .
She stopped calling for Ryuji at once . Otherwise, he would be exposed as well, and that was something she did not want to happen . Just when she moved away from the door and was about to walk toward the entrance, another door not far away opened .

“Who the hell is so blind to disturb my sleep? Don’t you know it is already very late at night?!” A woman with flaxen hair poked her head out and shouted grumpily, “If you don’t shut your mouth now, I will shut it up for you!”
Concurrently, there was a loud rat-tat on the door coming from the other end of the corridor .
Lin Sanjiu ignored the blonde-haired woman and walked away with a solemn expression . She went into hypersensory state and began reading her surroundings . The woman came out of her room . She did not come towards her but went the other way instead .
However, the heaviness on her chest did not decrease even by the slightest bit .
She had been turning the corners again and again, but she would always find herself walking in a whole different corridor . The Lost Dog’s Pod Hotel was small, but it was sectioned into a multitude of corridors by layers of walls . The reason for this was to maximize every inch of space to fit in as many rooms as possible . As Lin Sanjiu traveled down the corridor and turned another corner, the building began to wake up . A harsh discordant mixture of knocks and raps, whispers and shuffling of footsteps began to plague the quiet air .
The sentence kept echoing through her mind like the wind howling through a hollow cave . Since she was the target, she was immune to the effect of hypnotism induced by the message . Be that as it may, she still could not forget how the message touched her mind and managed to cause a ripple in the depths of her psyche .
It now occurred to her that everyone in this hotel had been hypnotized .
One after another, the doors were opening, and guests were coming out from their rooms . Seemingly emboldened by their increase in numbers, after they came out from their respective rooms, they all stared fixedly at Lin Sanjiu . However, what surprised her the most was that they did not pounce at her .

Lin Sanjiu very soon knew the reason .
The main entrance had vanished .
There was now a wall where the main entrance should have been . It seemed that the wall had been moved from another part of the hotel . It looked like a beehive with many room doors on it and each door had a head popping out from behind just like bees .
At the corner of the wall was the reception desk . The crystal ball was sitting on top of it as the TV series continued to play .
Dali had moved the entrance away . She could change the interior of the hotel as she pleased as the entire building was one of her Special Items . This could also shed some light on why she did not hire any employer to help her manage the hotel . When she was about to be transferred to another world, she just needed to keep the hotel back into her ring .
Lin Sanjiu inspected the wall and then sighed inwardly
“Should we try our luck at the door at the back?” Mrs . Manas asked .
There were no perfect Special Items . Each Special Item was bound to have a certain restriction or weaknesses, and this building was no exception . Dali could not move the gate at the back away, so she just locked it up . Compared to the wall that could move here and there according to her wishes, perhaps the gate at the back was Lin Sanjiu’s best option right now .

Using her hypersensory to feel the movement of the air, Lin Sanjiu slowly turned around .
The corridor became a hive of activity . All of the guests had come out from their rooms and stood in the corridor, their hot breaths pluming out into the cold air in the building . All of them had just woken up from their sleep . They were in different attires, their hair was messy, and they all had blank expressions on their face as they stared at her .
If she wanted to go to the back door, she had to go through all of them . Apparently, she had walked straight into Dali’s plan . The reason the cunning hotel owner had gone to the back door first was to create a fake impression that she was locking the back door and forcing Lin Sanjiu to go to the main entrance, which Dali had long moved to another location . When Lin Sanjiu arrived at the main entrance and found that it had been moved away, there was little she could do anymore . Therefore, she would be trapped in the deepest part of the hotel and the furthest point away from the only exit .
“Since you don’t cherish your own hotel,” Lin Sanjiu mumbled, “then, don’t blame me for destroying it . ”
