The flames quickly burned into the bathroom, but just as Schiller speculated, not a wisp of flames touched the toilet.
Schiller actually discovered long ago that the thing that controls the hallucinations in the room and the thing that pollutes the people in the room are not necessarily one and the same. It is more likely that they are two systems.
Assuming that the thing that creates hallucinations has a way of contaminating others, then it doesn't need to make these fancy hallucinations. It can just put the pollutants on the carpet at the entrance, and whoever steps on it will die.
And if the thing that controls toilet water to contaminate others has a way to affect the entire room through hallucinations, then it can completely make invisible toilet water, and splash it on anyone it sees, so there is no need to stick to the bathroom.
Therefore, they are likely to be two monsters that do not interfere with each other, and may even form some kind of check and balance relationship. The monster that controls hallucinations uses hallucinations to force people to come to the bathroom to be polluted, and the toilet in the bathroom also gives the hallucination monster a kind of killing.
means.
But the premise is that neither of them harms the fundamental interests of the other party.
Obviously, the territory controlled by the monster that pollutes others is the toilet, and it pollutes others by spraying toilet water. The hallucination monster may control other places besides the toilet. Hallucinations are almost everywhere.
But now that Schiller stood on the toilet, all three parties were a little embarrassed.
The water and fire created by the room illusion are real, at least to the senses of the residents, which means that it must be made of something, which may not be scientific enough, but it is an existing substance.
If this kind of substance wants to invade the toilet's territory, the toilet will certainly not allow it, so the illusory flame cannot interfere with the toilet.
The toilet pollutes others by spraying water, but now that Schiller is standing on the toilet lid, the toilet lid cannot be opened at all, so the toilet cannot spray water and pollute Schiller.
It seems that neither of these two parties can really affect the residents and can only use indirect methods. Otherwise, even if Schiller is a living person, the toilet seat can still be opened when it should be opened.
Schiller felt that if he found something to press on it, the toilet seat would definitely not care about it and would still be able to open. The only reason why it couldn't be opened now was that he was standing on it.
The fire couldn't burn, and the toilet seat couldn't be opened. The three parties formed a stalemate. In the end, Hallucination chose to compromise because it was almost ten o'clock in the evening and it didn't have much time.
Schiller jumped off the toilet seat very smoothly and rushed out of the bathroom as quickly as possible without being sprayed by the water. However, as soon as he returned to the room, he found that the room was extremely cold.
Temperature can also kill people. Schiller knew this very well. He hallucinated that he was so incompetent that he wanted to torture himself in various ways of death. So being frozen to death was considered a more painful way to die.
What's more troublesome is that low temperature will affect the speed of brain operation. To a certain extent, the room can be regarded as a way to weaken Schiller.
Schiller still had no intention of leaving the room. Although the temperature in the room had now reached a point that was completely unsuitable for human survival and he was shivering from the cold, he turned back and walked back to the bathroom after discovering the purpose of the room.
This time the toilet was affected. A thin layer of ice formed on the outer layer of the toilet. Schiller pressed the flush button and quickly dodged. The toilet seat still bounced up and water spurted out. Schiller discovered that this time
The water that was sprayed out and the water that was sprayed out and left on the ground were not frozen.
This verified his previous guess, that there was indeed something wrong with the toilet water, otherwise there would be no reason for this water to remain unfrozen.
Schiller endured the cold and came to the living room, picked up the beverage bottle from which he had finished drinking water, and after returning to the bathroom, he made an extremely bold move, which was to use the beverage bottle to fill the water on the floor.
He was very careful not to let his hand touch the water. The water did not violate the laws of physics and jumped up to slap him. Instead, he put it into the drink bottle very smoothly.
The water that spurted out was actually not a lot, filling about one-fifth of the drink bottle. After realizing that the water was gone, Schiller pressed the flush button again and avoided it, successfully getting a little more water.
Just like that, Schiller filled the mineral water bottle.
Then he started pouring water into the room.
Wherever the water touched, all the ice melted, and the illusion melted in pieces as if it had been burned. But Schiller was not satisfied yet, so he lifted up a melted bedside table and held it in his arms.
The bedside table went to the bathroom and hit it hard on the toilet.
Wow, the heavy and hard solid wood bedside table smashed the toilet. After the toilet disappeared, the water pipe connected to the toilet was gurgling out.
Moreover, it seemed that Schiller's reckless move broke the balance of the toilet itself, and the water began to bubble faster and faster. When Schiller walked out of the bathroom, water had already begun to flow out of the crack in the bathroom door.
This is the so-called tit-for-tat. All illusions touched by the water disappeared, and the room began to tremble slightly, as if something was being attacked and screaming.
Schiller leaned against the wall leisurely, watching for a while as the water on the ground was covered, and for a while the illusion disappeared. After a while, the temperature in the room began to rise.
The thing that controlled the illusion seemed to be at a disadvantage, but it seemed unwilling to give in and made the temperature of the room higher and higher.
It's a pity that it still can't affect the water in the room. If it can really combine to eradicate the things that pollute the water, turn the water into steam, and fill every corner of the room, Schiller will really have to consider returning to the sofa.
The two parties fought like this for a long time, and found that no one could do anything to the other. The water produced in the bathroom was limited, and hallucinations could not appear where there was water. They finally decided to call a truce, and the time was almost zero at this time.
Already.
Schiller screwed on the cap of the mineral water bottle. He didn't pour all the water, but some was left at the bottom of the bottle. After he discovered that this thing could restrain some other things in the hotel, that is, there was really no more.
Big bottles, otherwise Schiller would have to open a water plant.
Schiller now wanted to test his last conjecture.
At 11:45, Schiller removed the section of the sofa that was still in the room from the entire sofa and dragged it to the door. During this period, the room tried to compete with him for the right to use the sofa, but Schiller threw it at him.
I gave up after my face was full of toilet water.
Schiller successfully dragged the sofa to the door. It was now 11:50. He slowly opened the door and dragged the sofa into the corridor without any scruples.
After he closed the door, it was locked almost immediately, with a very loud click, as if some existence was saying, "Don't ever come back again."
It was already 11:53 when Schiller dragged the sofa into the notch where the elevator was.
Schiller placed the sofa at the door of the elevator, with the back of the chair leaning against the door. At the same time, he placed the alarm clock on the sofa. It was now 11:55.
Schiller rushed to the end of the corridor on the left as quickly as possible, came to the door of Room 1910 opposite Room 1900, took out a knife and removed the door number of Room 1910 with lightning speed, and then opened it again
As quickly as possible, he put up the door number of Room 1913 in his hand.
It is now 11:59.
It took about 15 seconds for the door number of Room 1913 to emerge from the wall, and there were still 45 seconds left before midnight.
Bang!!!!
The thing inside the door of Room 1913 did not leave as expected. Its first impact on the door knocked Schiller out, who was blocking the door.
Schiller hit the opposite wall directly, but he didn't seem to feel the surprise at all. He quickly stood up and ran towards the elevator as fast as possible.
There are still 30 seconds left before zero.
The thing in room 1913 seemed to take a few steps back and start to accumulate strength, and Schiller took about 5 seconds to run to where the elevator was.
He paid no attention to the alarm clock or the sofa. Instead, he stepped on the sofa cushion first and then the sofa backrest. He stood directly at half the height of the elevator door and looked up.
Just at eye level with him, directly above the elevator door frame, hung a sign in the same style as the door number, with the number of floors "19" written in Arabic numerals.
Schiller began to dismantle the sign.
This sign is much larger than the door sign, and the screws are also larger and harder to twist. It takes Schiller five or six seconds to twist out one screw. After three screws are removed, there are still 10 seconds left before zero point.
Circle, circle, and circle again, with 5 seconds left before zero, Schiller took the sign indicating the floor in his hand, and the elevator under the door frame slowly disappeared.
It's midnight.
bite!
The sound of the elevator arrived as promised, but it didn't come from where the elevator was at all.
The sound came from the end of the left side of the corridor on the 19th floor.
The door to room 1900 opened.
Schiller breathed a sigh of relief, his guess was right.
The monster didn't come out of the elevator at all. The sound that sounded before all the rooms rang was not the sound of the elevator arriving, but the sound of the monster in room 1900 starting to move.
Because the positions of rooms 1905 and 1900 were changed, room 1900 became the room closest to the elevator. The distance difference of less than one meter made it impossible for people to judge from the sound whether there was a problem in the elevator or room 1900.
The trap was laid the moment Schiller entered the hotel.
The sound of the elevator door opening is a very unique sound. Schiller heard this sound when he walked into the 19th floor for the first time, so when he hears this sound again, he will immediately think of the elevator.
.
So after hearing the number n+1 of sounds in the corridor, you will definitely think that the first extra sound is a sign that the monster has arrived in the elevator, implying that the monster knows how to use the elevator.
Then, through the guidance of the crowd, Gordon told Schiller that while the monster was using the elevator, rushing to the elevator was the only way to leave the 19th floor, and a perfect trap was completed.
Some people who are wary may think that they may die if they come into close contact with monsters, or that although this plan is feasible, they may need to find the monster's patterns.
But everything was false from the beginning.
The monster did not come in through the elevator at all, but stayed in room 1900. Maybe its only ability besides killing people is to make the same noise as the elevator to complete this clever trap and let people follow it.
It's looking for death behind its back.
It is completely conceivable that the explorer who has gone through all kinds of hardships and thought he had found the pattern and could succeed once followed the elevator noise monster and finally found out that it stopped at the door of Room 1900.
despair.
But this time the monster was not so lucky.
Bang!
After the first elevator sound sounded and the elevator monster walked out of room 1900, a huge crash also sounded at the end of the left corridor, and the monster in room 1913 crashed the door and came out.
Schiller, who was holding the sign, walked down from the sofa and sat down on the sofa slowly. Although he couldn't see what was happening at the end of the corridor on the left, there was no doubt that a collision had begun.
.
The monster in room 1913 is obviously not the same system as the elevator ring monster.
The fact that it will hit the door means that it is not of the same system as all the monsters that set up this trap. If it really helps this plan, the other party cannot lock it in the room.
A silent collision began.
Schiller closed his eyes and covered his ears, refusing to hear or see. The entire corridor began to tremble crazily, and some tiny screams and whispers rushed into his ears.
Blood flowed from Schiller's ears, but he didn't notice it and sat calmly on the sofa in the middle of the corridor.
Five minutes later, the corridor became quiet.
Schiller, carrying the briefcase, stood up, walked to the center of the corridor, and glanced to the left. There was nothing there. The doors of the two unique rooms 1900 and 1913 were all closed tightly, as if just now
All terror and terror are illusions.
And Schiller knew that he had found a way out of the 19th floor.
He took the door number of the 19th floor, came to the door of room 1904, took down the door number of room 1904, and nailed the floor number with 19 on it.
Schiller looked down at the half-footprint on the carpet in front of the door of No. 1904. The water-stained footprints left by Jerome that Peter saw when he came out of the closet flashed in his mind. The size and shape of the two footprints were slightly different.
