Time is the most ruthless, no matter what you are doing, it is always passing by quietly.
The movement outside seemed to echo through the sky, but strangely nothing happened in the hotel, as if it was isolated by something, forming a completely different situation from the outside world.
The moon in the night sky outside the window is full of strange atmosphere, because its shining light makes people feel uneasy, and the shadows it reflects feel strange.
Barro looked at his own shadow on the ground. The irregular and twisted shape reminded him of the small town residents he met today. He felt that his shadow was just like those small town residents, weird.
The little bee huddled next to him. Although she didn't say a word, her trembling body told him of her fear at this moment.
Originally, they wanted to go out to the Flat Square to find the weird man named Sea Dog. Barro remembered that he also had a radio and could contact other people.
But when they went downstairs, the pastor stopped them and said that it was dark now and it would be unsafe outside.
Barro didn't remember that there was any danger, so he insisted on going out, but at this time the priest's expression changed and became extremely ferocious. This change frightened him.
Moreover, the receptionist who disappeared before also returned. He was an ugly-looking man. He was very rude to Baro and the two, and even wanted to touch them directly.
Upon seeing this, Barro immediately took Little Bee back to the room, locked the door and blocked the door with the bed.
Then stay here by the window.
Although he didn't understand why the pastor changed so much, he knew that their situation at this time was not good.
It's not like he never thought about running away, but some dark shadows suddenly appeared outside, which made him very afraid.
But he wasn't helpless.
At this time, he and Little Bee were guarding the window so that he could observe and wait for Professor Wu and the young assistant to pass by so that they could call for help and then return to the ship.
He had already thought about it. He had been to this place before. Although he did not find the woman, he felt that he would not have nightmares again. As for the research that Professor Wu wanted to do, he said he had no objection to it, but he would not want it.
I'm staying here.
At least there were a few sailors on the other side of the ship, so it was relatively safe.
Stroking the trembling little bee, Barro slightly poked his head outside and looked outside. It was pitch black outside and he couldn't see anything.
It's so late, will Professor Wu and the others pass by here?
Will they be imprisoned somewhere like them?
"Brother Baro, do you think anything will happen to us?" Little Bee said with a sad face. She shouldn't have been greedy for the money in the first place, so she wouldn't be in this situation now.
Living on a lost island, imprisoned by the indigenous people, and not even knowing what will happen next.
A series of fears and random thoughts made her like a frightened bird. The slightest movement would make her scream.
Barro lowered his head in disappointment and comforted: "Don't worry, we will be fine..."
"uh-huh!"
Suddenly, Barro felt some pain under his ribs again, and his brows wrinkled in pain.
The little bee on the side was immediately frightened. She is a weak woman now. If something happens to Baro, she may not be able to leave this town.
Moreover, those people on the ship all listened to Barro, or to be precise, his Mani. Once Barro's checks and balances were lost, it was hard to imagine that those men who had been at sea for many years would have any other thoughts about her.
....
Although in the current situation, she won't care about this, as long as she can go back alive...
But I was afraid that she would be abandoned on the sea halfway.
"Brother Baro, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"
"No...it's okay, I think my body is numb."
"Ah? Could it be that I'm suppressing you..."
At this time, the moon outside the window has been covered by clouds, the night is getting darker and darker, and the hotel is eerily quiet, and the slightest sound can be heard.
Suddenly, there was a creaking sound from the wooden stairs outside the room.
Then the sound became clearer.
"Shh, listen!"
Barro pricked up his ears. Someone seemed to be walking around outside, but the sound was very soft, as if he was deliberately standing on tiptoes, a sneaky thief.
"Outside...outside...there are footsteps!"
Little Bee was so frightened that she quickly covered her mouth. She was afraid. The scene where the pastor downstairs changed his face caused her great psychological trauma.
"Yes...it's the pastor. Is he coming to deal with us?"
Barro's face darkened, his heart beat nervously, and he stared at the door.
Apart from the priest and the front desk, who else would be walking around the hotel at this time.
It must be them!
And they must know their room because the number plate was given by the priest!
This is when Baro suddenly thought of something, that is, is it possible that when they met the priest on the road, the priest had actually been waiting there for a long time. Even when they entered the town, the priest already knew...
....
Thinking about it this way, maybe Professor Wu and others...
It’s scary to think about it!
Barro's eyes widened, his ears pricked up to listen to what was going on outside, and he couldn't help but hug the little bee with his arms to gain some sense of security.
The footsteps in the corridor outside are getting closer and closer.
The two comforted people became more and more frightened.
"Brother Baro, why don't we run?"
Little Bee suddenly said.
"Run? Wherever you go, they will be guarding you downstairs."
"We can climb down from the window and use the sheets to make ropes. That's how it's done in old movies."
At this moment, the sound outside the door stopped, and it was very close to their room.
Suddenly, neither of them dared to speak. An aura of fear surrounded them, and they looked at the door with wide eyes.
"Zizi~"
The circuit in the room flashed a flash of electricity and produced some sparks. Fortunately, the two of them did not turn on the lights, otherwise a sudden circuit failure would cause the lights to go out, which would be even more frightening.
"Brother Baro, what's going on? Why is there no sound? Have they gone back?"
Barro shook his head, "I don't know."
Then he tiptoed and carefully came to the door.
"Brother Baro!" Little Bee shouted nervously.
"Let me see what's going on outside."
Baro was extremely nervous. He quietly put down the bed, then reached out to open the door to observe the situation outside.
But at this moment!
There was a strange noise from the door handle, as if someone was using something to turn the door lock.
The sudden movement made Baro stunned on the spot. Fear suddenly filled his mind, and his body began to tremble slightly.
Someone wants to open the door!
He quickly put the bed on the door lock again, and then quickly returned to the little bee.
"Brother Baro, I'm so scared!" Little Bee cried.
Barro's face was also ashen, and at this moment, fear had swallowed up his reason.
The darkness in the room and the unusual movement of the door outside created a double oppression.
