Qi Jiu wielded the screwdriver skillfully and said matter-of-factly: "There's nothing wrong with it. You must always maintain your curiosity about the copy and a scientific and rigorous research attitude."

"The main reason is that this call button appears so weird. Can anyone really resist taking it apart to see what's hidden inside?" Qi Jiu said.

Qin Rang: "...You must be a student with strong hands-on ability."

Qi Jiu smiled: "I might also be the cat that was killed by curiosity."

"No, you are the cat with only nine lives." Qin Rang tutted.

"I hope so." Qi Jiu's act of forcibly dismantling the call button at the front desk made the original weird and supernatural atmosphere disappear in an instant.

This guy does have this quality. No matter what situation he is in or what kind of crisis he encounters, he can always deal with it with ease.

Qi Zhu moved very quickly. In less than two minutes, he had removed all the screws used to fix the button, and he had easily pried off the entire button cap——

"Hey, is this a little doll?" The button was not connected to the circuit. There was a half-fist-sized hole hidden behind the red plastic button cap. Qi Jiu turned on the flashlight and looked into the hole. Inside, there was a human wearing a uniform in an inverted posture.

Japanese doll in yukata.

Hearing this, Qin Rang also came over to take a look. The weird smile on the face of the inverted Japanese doll immediately made his scalp tingle: "...This doll is so permeable."

Qin Rang has always believed that dolls are very evil things under certain circumstances, especially Japanese-style dolls with human faces, which can always remind people of witchcraft, curses and other underworld elements.

Qi Jiu didn't take it seriously. He put on rubber gloves and reached into the hole. He carefully took out the inverted doll while trying not to make any noise.

He found that under the strange doll, there was a small tuft of hair tied with a red rope and a bell.

The moment Qi Qiu took out this tuft of hair, the flames of the ghost lamp placed beside his bed were flickering upwards, indicating that this tuft of hair contained strong Yin energy and resentment.

"Fuck! This is too evil." Qin Rang's face suddenly turned pale with fright.

However, Qi Jiu picked up his hair with his gloves without hesitation, carefully removed the red rope and bell, and then threw his hair into the will-o'-the-o'-the-o'-the-o'-the-o'-the-o'-the-o'-the-o'-the-o'-the-o'-o'-o'-o'-o'-o'-o'-o'-o'-o'-o'-o'-o'-o'-o'-orange lantern's glory: "Come on, little one, it's time to eat."

This will-o'-the-wisp bamboo lantern obviously loves to eat this kind of "food" that is full of yin energy. The little ghost's flames are crackling and dancing, making it very happy just to see it.

Qi Ku's pleasure value also increased by 0.5 points in an instant.

Qi Jiu smiled: "You're so good."

He praised the young will-o'-the-wisp lantern tenderly.

The little will-o'-wisp spread its flames contentedly to express its gratitude.

Qin Rang:...Why did he vaguely see the male mother of the milk baby?!

After burning his hair with a will-o'-the-wisp, Qi Jiu held the red string bell and thought for a moment. Then he wrapped it in a thick stack of toilet paper and sponges, and carefully put it into the box.

Finally, he decided to place the box containing the strange bell in the corridor outside the shoji door.

Because it is difficult for him to avoid the sound of the bell, since it is difficult to avoid it, just try to prevent it from making noise in the house.

After last night's test, the corridor and the guest room will be separated by an invisible barrier after twelve o'clock. When the bell makes a sound again, it will be none of his business.

Anyway, he won't hear it.

Next, Qi Ku began to study this Japanese ghost doll.

The ghost doll is carved from peach wood. It is very light in the hand, but it is obvious that the doll's carving is smooth and exquisite. It is by no means a crude souvenir from a tourist attraction.

The yukata worn on the doll also has the right collar outside pressing the left collar, which represents the way of wearing a yukata for the deceased.

The Ukiyoe pattern on the doll's yukata is similar in style to the previous call girl card. Qi Gu speculates that there may be some kind of connection between the two objects.

The "Guest Rules" have obviously been "contaminated". If there is an emergency in the guest room at night, players who believe in the rules press the front desk call bell, and the button device will push the doll to touch the small bell under it.

"Button" is often associated with "sound".

In the dungeon, ghosts must follow certain rules when killing people. The sound of bells may mean the beginning of pollution - a signal that ghosts can kill people.

As for this exquisite and weird doll...

After Qi Zhu carefully checked and confirmed that there was no sound-producing device on the doll, he sealed the doll in a box filled with stuffing, thinking that it might come in handy in the future.

After doing all this, he handed the box containing the doll to Qin Rang for safekeeping: "It's safer to leave important things here with you."

Qin Rang: "Is this enough?"

Qi Jiu was silent for a moment and shook his head thoughtfully: "It seems to be a bit too monotonous."

Qin Rang:...?

He didn't know if it was his imagination, but he felt that Qi Qiu's interest was particularly high after he came back from the hot springs tonight.

"By the way," Qi Jiu suddenly looked over, "I remember that you brought a very small screaming chicken with you before, the one about the size of a fist. Do you still have it now?"

Qin Rang nodded in confusion: "You're still here, what's wrong?"

Qi Jiu smiled: "That's great, let me use it for one night."

Qin Rang suddenly had a strange premonition. He glanced at the button that had been removed, and then looked at Qi Qiu: "You don't want to..."

Qi Jiu nodded: "Use a screaming chicken instead of a ghost doll to create a surprise for the uninvited guests at night."

Qin Rang:...This ghost is so unlucky!

Although he was a little reluctant to part with his screaming chicken, Qin Rang still gave it to Qi Jiu.

"Thank you, I'll pay you back tomorrow." With this promise, Qi Jiu put the unknown screaming chicken into the wall hole, and then he skillfully re-twisted the screws to restore the call button to its original state.

Qin Rang was a little worried: "Well...if an uninvited guest really touches the Screaming Chicken at night, won't the noise cause something worse?"

Qi Jiu: "No, I have tested it. After twelve o'clock, each guest room will form an independent barrier. Guests in the guest room cannot hear sounds from outside, and vice versa."

"So that's it..." Qin Rang finally realized that so many people died last night because of food taboos, but he really didn't hear anything at night.

When it was done, the front desk call button that had been "transformed" by Qi Kui showed no flaws.

Qi Gu put away the tool box with satisfaction, threw away his gloves and washed his hands twice before lying down on the tatami and getting ready to sleep.

It was exactly twelve o'clock at midnight, and the hotel fell silent again.

Even the sound of the wind outside the window and the sound of falling snow breaking dead branches could no longer be heard. The entire hotel and the guest room they were in seemed to have fallen into a vacuum.

Perhaps because of the hot spring bath, Qi Jiu quickly fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, Qi Ku's sleep became lighter.

The slightly damp wind made him feel a little cold.

wind?

The doors and windows in the house are closed tightly, so there is no possibility of wind leaking in.

At the same time, the burning smell in the sealed room became stronger and stronger.

Qi Jiu carefully opened his eyes and looked through the gap in the quilt. He found that there was an extra tatami between him and Qin Rang.

Sitting on the tatami was a ghost wearing a white yukata with long hair covering his face.

finally come.

Qin Rang on the other side had long since woken up from the cold, but according to Qi Jiu's instructions, he kept wrapping his face in a quilt and pretending not to see anything.

Even Qin Rang himself found it incredible. Logically speaking, he was so afraid of ghosts that he should have been so scared that he could not control himself. But now, rather than being afraid, he was more curious about when this Ah Piao would press his tip.

Crying chicken...

I've learned bad things... I've been with Qi Gu for a long time and I've learned bad things through what I've heard and seen.

The long-haired ghost in a yukata waited quietly on the tatami for a while, and found that the two male guests in the room seemed to be sleeping deeply, so she had to float all over the room, trying to attract the attention and fear of the tenants.

According to normal rules, the appearance of resentful spirits will cause changes in the magnetic field in the room, and even people who sleep deeply will wake up as a result.

Once guests wake up from sleep, especially those with little experience, they will usually be frightened by the strange phenomena in the room and their pleasure level will drop, thus losing their correct judgment.

At this moment, they will regard the contaminated "Guest Rules" as a life-saving straw, and instinctively make choices based on the contents of the rules. They will either ignore other warnings and wake up their roommates to leave the room, or press "Front Desk" in panic.

Call bell".

Either way, it can be regarded as them breaking the rules to protect tourists.

The resentful spirits guarding the darkness are ready to move, this is a signal for them to take action.

But something seems to have gone wrong in this guest room today.

The long-haired ghost in a yukata kept spinning around the two tatami mats of the male guests, and even performed classic actions such as pulling the corner of the quilt, rolling marbles, and pressing the ghost on the bed, but the two male guests showed no reaction.

After swinging around for several times, the long-haired ghost in a yukata became a little desperate.

In this dungeon, there is a rule of thumb. She cannot attack the passengers without breaking the rules of protection.

But there is one thing she can do "on behalf of" the passengers.

The long-haired ghost in a yukata walked around the walls of the guest room and finally found the red call button on the wall next to the closet.

The button was covered by the coat hanging on the hanger. She guessed that the male guest had covered it deliberately before going to sleep.

Although this hotel has a set of rules to protect guests, there are loopholes in the rules that can be exploited.

For example, she can press this dangerous button on behalf of the guests——

"Giggle--!"

The screams of the screaming chickens came from the wall and immediately echoed throughout the room.
