Schiller walked to the door of Room 1900. This time the door did not open. On the contrary, it was closed very tightly. Schiller walked up and turned the door handle but couldn't turn it. He lay down and looked through the crack in the door, but nothing could be found.
Can't see.
He took out another piece of note paper and stuffed it in through the crack of the door, but the crack of the door seemed to be blocked by something. The front end of the note paper was wrinkled, but it couldn't be stuffed in at all.
The door crack is very tight and not big enough to allow a person's fingers to pass through. The hardware facilities of this hotel are also relatively advanced. They use a key card instead of a key, so there is no keyhole to see, and there is no way to pick the lock.
Schiller thought for a while, and then his eyes fell on the door number of Room 1900. What was strange was that there were only two screws in the upper part of the door of Room 1900, and the two screws in the lower part were not.
Fly with wings.
Schiller turned to look at Room 1901 opposite him, confirming that the door number was indeed fixed with four screws, not two. What about the two screws on the door of Room 1900?
All the house numbers look exactly the same, so it is possible that the house numbers have been changed. But can the screws really be removed using ordinary methods?
Schiller walked up and touched the screw first, but there was no response. He then used a pen to pry it gently and found that it couldn't be turned. However, if he had a screwdriver, he should be able to unscrew it.
Schiller did not have a screwdriver, but he did have a pocket knife. Schiller opened his windbreaker and took out the thin-looking knife from the inner pocket of the windbreaker, but it was actually made of sound-absorbing steel vibrating gold.
The biggest advantage of this thing is that it can absorb sound. Even if it is used to pick locks or knock, it will not make any noise. It is very suitable for various supernatural scenes. However, it has no special performance in terms of attack power. It has two knuckles.
Even stabbing someone with a blade may not be fatal.
Schiller inserted the tip of the knife into the cross-shaped screw hole, twisted it hard with one hand, and it really turned. With some effort, he started to twist the knife continuously, and it took him three or four minutes to remove a screw.
But Schiller was not in a hurry to remove the second screw, because now there was only one screw left in the entire door plate, which meant that Schiller could turn the door plate.
Schiller turned the door sign down to reveal the screw hole where the screw he had removed was exposed. He turned on the flashlight and looked inside. The threads inside were very messy, which meant that someone had unscrewed the original screws and then screwed them out.
Enter a new one.
The house number has indeed been changed.
So now the question is, which house number did the house number 1900 change with?
According to the rules of numbers, house number 00 should indeed appear here, because it is opposite house number 01.
But according to common sense, house number 00 should not appear anywhere, because any normal hotel cannot have room number 00, so it is normal for him to replace any house number.
Schiller unscrewed another screw, but the moment he took off the door plate, he found that the door in front of him began to age rapidly. The paint on the wooden door panel was peeling off, and the wood became rotten.
After Schiller hesitated for half a second, he put the door number back to its original position. The aging stopped and was gradually recovering.
It seems that the house number cannot be moved, or cannot be taken away for a long time. Schiller estimated the speed of aging. If he had a professional screwdriver, he should be able to change the house number before it completely ages.
Looking at the current situation, someone may have already done this, so why did the other party change the house number?
If there is no supernatural phenomenon on the door number, then the problem lies with the door. Once the door number leaves the door, the door will begin to age rapidly, and it is unknown what it will become at the end of the aging process.
Will the room age along with the door?
A man who changed the door number at the risk of aging and collapsing doors proved that confusing a room was more important to him than the safety of its contents.
Schiller did not see any door numbers missing screws in the corridor on the left. He remembered clearly that when he just looked over, all the door numbers were fixed to the door with four screws.
But there are two screws missing in Room 00. Where did the two screws go? Why didn't the person who changed the house number screw in all four screws?
Too many questions could not be answered, which made Schiller feel very bad. He had never been a rule-abiding person, but the kind of person who would make the world unhappy if you don't make me happy.
Schiller walked to the door of room 1902 next to him.
He used a knife to remove the two screws under the door number of Room 1902, then walked to the door of Room 1901, ignoring a head that was banging on the door, and removed the two screws under the door number of Room 1901.
The screws were also removed, and then he walked to the door of room 1903...
That's right, since the man who changed the house numbers can remove two screws, Schiller can remove all the two screws under all the house numbers.
These two screws are not important. The absence of these two screws is very important to Schiller's emotions.
The question is that all Schillers are sick.
It can only be said that Schiller, who was standing in front of the door in the corridor in the middle of the night, prying screws one after another, now looks like the most ghost-like creature in the entire hotel.
Just as Schiller was working on the screws on the door number of Room 1903, he suddenly heard movement in the room of Room 1903, and soon a footstep was approaching the door.
Without any pause, Schiller sped up the rotation in his hand. Soon, he removed a screw.
"Hey, what are you doing?!"
A voice suddenly came from behind the door, and a dark shadow flashed in the peephole, as if someone was looking out of the door through the peephole.
"I'm working," Schiller said.
"You can't take that thing off, get out of here!"
"Are you the one who wants to check out today?" Schiller heard his voice, but his movements did not stop at all. He said, "Why are you back again?"
"Did you hear what I said? You can't remove that screw, put it back on!"
"Why?"
The other party seemed stunned by the question, and said angrily: "Then why did you unscrew it? Are you crazy?"
"I saw that there were only two numbers on room 1900. I am an obsessive-compulsive disorder, so I decided to have only two numbers on the door numbers of all rooms."
This statement obviously shocked the people at the door, but soon he said anxiously: "You can't do this, listen to me, screw it back quickly, this thing is very important, there is no door number.
Something terrible is going to come in."
Schiller already had the two screws in Room 1903. He weighed a screw in his hand and said, "That's great. I decided to put all the screws on my house number."
"You..." The other party was choked to the point of being speechless. It took a long time before he said, "You don't need so many screws. Four for each house number is enough. Give me back mine quickly!"
"Do you know the occupants of room 1901?" Schiller asked.
The other party suddenly fell silent, and stopped mentioning anything to ask Schiller to return the screws to him.
Schiller began to remove the remaining two screws.
The people inside heard the movement and shouted in horror: "Are you crazy? Do you want to remove the door number???"
"Is there anything wrong?"
"No, please." The person at the door was obviously panicked and said, "You can't do this, something terrible will happen."
"Then tell me first what happened in 1901."
"Okay, okay, I'm telling you, don't tear it up." The other party said quickly: "I only saw that man once on the first day I moved in. He seemed to be seriously ill and his face was pale. I just saw him
He, he ran to the bathroom and vomited."
"I guess he may have died a long time ago. The thing banging on the door now may not be a human being. You must not open the door for him."
Schiller stopped turning the screw. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Didn't you check out? Why didn't you leave?"
"I have no way to leave." After the other party finished speaking, there was complete silence. No matter how much Schiller tightened the screws, there was no movement.
Schiller stopped tightening the remaining two screws, but did not return the two that had been removed before. He lowered his head and glanced at his watch. It was already 11:45, and there were still 15 minutes to go.
It's time.
Schiller came to the door of Room 1904. He was very careful not to touch the carpet with half a footprint. Instead, he began to remove the two screws on the door of Room 1904. This time, no one made a sound. Schiller went very smoothly.
I quickly removed the screws on the door of room 1904.
Now, except for room 1905, there are only two screws left on the door numbers of all the doors in the corridor on the right.
Schiller walked back to the door of Room 1905, but instead of nailing all the screws to his door, he took the screws and walked back to his room.
He summarized what he gained from this trip. First, he learned that the hotel elevator is likely to be out of service after 11 o'clock. Second, he found out that the structure of the corridor on the left is basically the same as here, but there is a 13
Room number.
The situation on the right side is a bit complicated. The door number on the door of room 1900 may have been moved. There is a person standing behind the door of room 1901 and knocking on the door with his head. There is no movement in room 1902. There is a person living in room 1903.
The person who claims to be inseparable has half a footprint in front of the door of room 1904, and he lives in room 1905.
And I have now removed two screws from the house numbers of all the rooms on the right except my own room. According to the people in Room 1903, the house numbers may have some special functions, and the screws that fix the house numbers are also very important.
.
I guess that after midnight, some horrific changes may occur in the corridor, and now that I have removed all the door screws in the corridor on the right, will anything strange happen?
Schiller waited patiently in the room for a while, and soon he heard a ding from outside the door.
This was the sound of the elevator opening on this floor. He had heard it during the day. It meant that the elevator had resumed operation, but it was more likely that something was coming up.
There were no footsteps or other sounds. Schiller looked down at his watch and found that it was already 12:01. Everything was calm, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
There was another ding, and the elevator seemed to open again, and then it was quiet for at least a minute, and then there was another ding.
However, Schiller discovered very keenly that except for the first ding, the other dings should not come from the elevator. Although the sounds were exactly the same, the source of the sounds was gradually getting closer.
bite!
This was the fourth sound, and Schiller heard it very clearly. It came from room 1903 next door.
bite!
In your own room.
Schiller immediately turned his head and walked towards the direction of the sound. He opened the bedroom door and found nothing that could make such a noise. He immediately began to search. After searching for a long time, he finally found one on the lower floor of the closet.
Alarm clock.
This alarm clock is a very ordinary retro alarm clock. When the time comes, a small hammer will hit both ears. It is the only alarm clock in the whole room that can make such a metallic sound.
Schiller studied it, but this alarm clock was very ordinary and the time was very accurate. There was no one to set the time or anything. If this thing had rung just now, it would be difficult to guess who controlled it.
Schiller put the alarm clock to his ear.
He listened carefully. At first he could only hear the sound of the second hand spinning, but after listening for a long time, this sound began to transform into another sound. It was no longer a dry mechanical sound, but more like
