Now they are both in room 1905, but they can't see each other. There are several possibilities.
First, there are two rooms No. 1905 in the hotel, one at the end of the corridor going right and one at the end of the corridor going left. This is also the most reasonable from a practical perspective. Maybe this hotel just likes this number.
So we specially built two rooms.
But now they can't verify it.
Because if you want to verify whether there is Room 1905 on one side of each corridor, one of the two of them must leave the room and walk into the corridor, but this is very dangerous.
Because if this is not the case, it means that it is not normal for them to have a hotel alone.
If you leave the room without knowing who is staying in the hotel, you may be in danger.
Now there are several clues. The first one is that many things they encountered in the two hotels were contrary to each other. The staff Schiller met in his hotel were very enthusiastic and professional, but the front desk staff Peter met
The staff were very impatient and tired.
Although the image of the two of them is indeed very different, Schiller does not think that the front desk staff who serves him will show such an impatient attitude when seeing someone like Peter. At best, he is not so impatient.
He was so enthusiastic that he didn't look at him directly.
Secondly, the manager was not present at the hotel where Peter was staying, but it is also possible that Peter did not look like an important person, so the manager stayed in the room.
Then there is the man who rushed out of the elevator. In the hotel where Schiller was staying, he was clamoring to check out, but in the hotel where Peter was in, he was clamoring to extend his stay.
After getting out of the elevator, Peter's 1905 goes left, and Schiller's 1905 goes right.
Schiller directed Peter to explore the room again, and then he discovered that the structure of the room was also reversed. Schiller's room 1905 was after entering the living room, then pushing the door on the right to enter the bedroom, while Peter entered the living room.
Push the door on the left to enter the bedroom.
In other words, assuming these are two hotels, the structures of the two hotels are likely to be mirror images.
By far, the most important clue is what Schiller saw when he took his cell phone to the window - another hotel was approaching quickly, and the window of another room was opposite to the window of 1905 where Schiller was.
Could this be the 1905 room Peter was in?
Schiller thinks this is possible, because room 1905 is the room at the end on the right. If the structure of the hotel opposite is exactly the same as this hotel, the windows of the two rooms 1905 will not match, just like two people.
When standing face to face, the heart positions of two people will not match unless one of them is a mirror image.
To confirm whether this idea was correct, he would have to go to the window again, but Schiller was not sure that meeting another person in another hotel in this way would trigger any reaction, but it would have to
Gotta try it.
Schiller asked Peter to come to the window through the communicator, and asked him to hold his mobile phone in front of the window to find a signal. At the same time, he stared at the window with his peripheral vision. Soon, an exclamation came from the communicator. Apparently Peter also saw the approach.
of hotels.
Schiller walked over with his cell phone at the same time and looked out with his peripheral vision, but there was no one in the window opposite, just like before he disappeared last time.
Schiller frowned deeply, countless possibilities swirled in his mind, and finally he locked on the most likely ones.
Schiller, who is on the magic side, has done a lot of research on this aspect. Although the world he was originally in actually had no magic at all and there were no supernatural events, after coming to the DC and Marvel worlds, these magic side personalities have actually been improving.
Research things related to occultism in the tower.
There are two most likely reasons for this situation of meeting each other but not knowing each other, one is a space problem, and the other is a time problem.
Needless to say about the space issue, both of them may indeed be in 1905, but one of them is in 1905 in the parallel space. The two spaces are folded together, but because they are in different spaces, they cannot see each other.
But this cannot explain the hotel outside the window. If that hotel is the embodiment of another space, then Schiller should be able to see Peter in front of the window.
Then the most likely result is time. They are both in room 1905, but in different time periods, which will also prevent the two from meeting each other.
This can explain why Schiller did not see Peter at the window, because Peter had not come yet at this time, and the figure Schiller saw at the window before was the previous occupant of this room.
But what needs to be determined now is who mistakenly entered the wrong time. Schiller looked at the date and everything was normal, and he believed that Peter's side was the same. There was no way to tell through this.
Making an assumption, Schiller thinks he checked in at 10 pm on the 15th, but if there is a problem with this hotel, then 10 pm on the 15th may not be 10 pm on the 15th. It may be when he gets off the elevator or enters the room.
In an instant, it becomes 10pm on the 14th. It might even be the 13th, the 12th, or it might not even be this year.
So if Peter comes according to the agreed time of 10pm on the 15th, Schiller should have checked out by this time, so the room will be empty, and Peter can successfully book and check in.
The reverse is also possible, Schiller came at the scheduled time, but Peter mistakenly entered an earlier time.
To determine who is earlier, you need to combine all the clues. Schiller saw a figure in the window of the hotel outside the window. Now the figure has disappeared. This may be the building where Peter was at this point in time.
The situation in the hotel.
In other words, if Schiller's time point is earlier, then what he sees is the previous guest of Peter Hotel; if Schiller's time point is later, then what he sees is the current guest of Peter Hotel, and
Peter has left.
It's easy to investigate. You just need to go downstairs and look at the guest list. It will record the day someone checked in and the day they left. As long as you can see who checked in earlier between the two names, you'll be fine.
But the same problem remains. Now we are not sure why the hotel has become like this. It would be very stupid to go out rashly. Neither Sohipu nor Peter have super powers. They dare to wander around in this hotel that is obviously problematic.
You will suffer a big loss.
Although neither of them is afraid of death, time is of the essence. There is obviously something wrong with little Bruce. If they come back after death, the situation will definitely worsen.
Just as Schiller was thinking, he suddenly remembered that the toilet on his side was broken. Peter also said that when he went to the bathroom, there was water around the toilet, so the toilet on his side might also be broken.
Schiller asked Peter to try the toilet. Peter pressed the toilet button and, as expected, was sprayed all over him.
In other words, the toilet was broken at both of their times, but the manager told himself that a repairman would come around 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, so the toilet after 10 o'clock should be good. If Peter's time was at his
Later, he won't be able to encounter a broken toilet.
So Peter’s timing is ahead of him?
Did Peter stumble into the wrong time?
No, not sure yet, Schiller thought, the manager just said that the repairman would come, but what if he didn't come? What if the repairman never came because of heavy rain or other reasons?
In that case, the toilet will always be broken, and it may be broken until next year, and there will be no way to determine who is early and who is late.
It seems that the figure I saw in the hotel opposite will be the key. Do you want to take a look again?
Schiller took his cell phone and walked to the window again, focusing on the phone and looking out of the corner of his eye.
We come to the hotel again, but there is still no one at the window. The worst case scenario is that this person has already checked out, and the room may not be booked for a long time.
It seemed that he had to venture out to explore. Schiller thought that there were too few clues in the room to determine what was going on. And since he could check in smoothly, it meant that the hotel he was in now followed certain operating rules. As long as he
If you don't take the initiative to break this rule, danger will not come so quickly.
He comforted Peter through the communication device and told him to stay in the room and never go out. He put his suitcase away and was ready to go out and take a look.
He can only go out to explore. Although Peter has memorized a lot of knowledge related to mysticism, he is really not very suitable for this job. It would be fine if he was still Spider-Man, but this Peter has given his ability to Bruce, and now he is also
An ordinary person, without a spider sense, does not have any advantages over ordinary people.
On the contrary, because he turned out to be Spider-Man and his fists were big enough, he could ignore many small dangers, but he was more likely to act recklessly. It would be better for Schiller to be an ordinary person for most of his life.
Schiller pushed open the door to the room. Only then did he carefully see that the odd-numbered doors in the corridor were all on his side. Going forward from 1905 was 1903, then 1901, and the even-numbered rooms were all opposite him. 1905 faced
1904, then 1902, and finally 1900.
This is the composition of the rooms in the corridor on the right. Schiller has not seen the corridor on the left, so he is not sure whether it is a larger or smaller number.
Before Schiller fully pushed the door open, he discovered that there was half a footprint on the carpet in room 1904 opposite him, or the smaller half was only the footprint on the edge of the shoe, so the size of the foot could not be seen, and there was no way to judge the body shape.
, but it can be seen that the footprints were left not long ago.
Is room 1904 occupied?
Schiller did not knock on the door rashly. It was hard to tell what was behind the door in such a weird hotel.
But now that there are traces, maybe it can be confirmed through Peter. Schiller immediately sent a message to Peter, asking Peter to keep an eye on the peephole to see if anyone came in or out of room 1904.
Peter came to the door and looked out through the peephole. As soon as he lay down on the door, he heard movement outside the door, which seemed to be footsteps coming this way.
Peter swallowed and felt a little scared. In fact, he was not afraid of criminals at all, but he was afraid of these supernatural events. When he was an endorser at Black Sun, he saw too many tragic deaths in various files.
There are many investigators who are much better than him. Now he is just an ordinary person. He is not sure that he can surpass his predecessors.
"Doctor, I heard something." Peter said in a low voice as much as possible. His greatest advantage was that he was not pushy. He couldn't figure it out, so he quickly shook his head. "It sounded like footsteps, and it sounded like two people.
"
"Did they go your way?"
"Yes, it's getting closer. Do I want to keep staring?"
Schiller was also a little hesitant. Although it sounded like human footsteps, it was not necessarily a human being.
The horror of the old days was that you couldn't hear, speak, or look directly. Peter's SAN value was not that high, but his spiritual vision was quite high. If he saw something and fainted, this clue would be enough.
Broken.
Schiller thought over the experience Peter had told before in his mind. He felt that Peter's rules had not been broken and the hotel was still operating according to certain rules. This proved that danger had not yet come and it should be able to survive for a while.
time.
"Keep an eye on them, Peter," Schiller said.
Peter had no choice but to hold back his fear and look out through the peephole. Fortunately, two people slowly walked into his field of vision. In the front was a tall and thin black man, and behind him was a young man wearing a black jacket.
The black man in front opened the door with the room card, and the young man walked in. Peter breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was just a guest staying in the room opposite.
But the moment the door closed, the young man showed a big smile to room 1905.
