After closing the door, Xu Huo first looked at the layout of the room.
In terms of aesthetics in the ordinary sense, this room is almost miserable. The embossed walls are carved with complex and unrecognizable patterns. The carpets and bed sheets are also similar, including the bathroom tiles and curtains.
Under the dim light, the room looked very depressing, and the only things that could be seen were the toilet, the sink, and the mirror on the sink.
He entered the bathroom, pulled the towel over and put it on the mirror, opened his sleeves and treated the injury on his arm.
The ulcerated area of the long wound has expanded again. Although the hyphae inside can be seen, the discomfort caused by the injury has not disappeared.
He used a knife to cut out part of the wound, and after wrapping it, he walked out and put his coat on the chair, "I won't go out today."
The painting girl stuck to the inside of his clothes blinked and kept her original posture inside the clothes.
Just as he was about to go to sleep, there was a knock on the door. Xu Huo opened the door and found that it was the hotel manager. He handed over a lunch box, "This is provided by the hotel for free, and it also comes with an apple."
The cleaning coat he was wearing was changed into work clothes, which smelled of perfume.
"Can I order food?" Xu Huo asked.
"I'm afraid that won't work," the administrator said. "Another colleague has asked for leave. Now I'm the only one left in the hotel. We can only provide lunch boxes. If you want to eat anything else, you have to go outside. But we go to bed early at night. Everyone goes to bed at ten o'clock.
closed."
Xu Huo took a few white bills and handed them to him, "I want to order a midnight snack tonight."
The administrator took the money and said cheerfully: "Okay, you can call me when the time comes, and we'll calculate the cost of the food separately."
Xu Huo closed the door without saying anything, put down his lunch box and lay down to sleep.
He slept deeply until he was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.
"Get out!" He shouted out, and the knocking on the door suddenly stopped. After a moment, the people outside the door hurriedly left.
After getting out of bed, Xu Huo felt that his mental state had recovered a little. When he looked at the time, it was already one o'clock in the morning.
Looking out through the edge of the curtain, it was foggy outside. There were no lights or sounds on the street. Instead, there was a faint light coming from the hotel windows.
"Dong dong dong!" A knock on the door came from upstairs. Xu Huo washed his face, opened the door and walked out. As soon as he got to the third floor, he saw Wei Xian standing at the door of the room, looking around, and saw Xu Huo
He quickly said: "Did you see You Jun just now?"
"No. Do you live together?" Xu Huo glanced into the room. There were two pairs of shoes on the floor, and Wei Xian was wearing slippers.
"He's gone." Wei Xian said with a little uneasiness: "There was someone knocking on the door just now. He said he was going to take a look. I just heard the sound of the door opening and came out, but he was gone!"
At this time, Yi Pei from the next room came out and asked, "Is he going to other players' rooms?"
"No," Wei Xian said firmly, "What's the point of changing rooms in the middle of the night?"
Unexpectedly, the room next to it was also occupied by someone. A curly-haired man opened the door and said displeasedly: "Maybe he ran into some female player's room."
Fu Danhong and Tian Kunwen lived on the second floor. Xu Huo didn't hear any movement when he passed by.
"Go downstairs and ask," he said.
The curly-haired man's door slammed shut. Xu Huo and the others went to the second floor, knocked on Fu Danhong's door, and asked her if she had seen You Jun.
"How could he come to my room?" Fu Danhong said: "Even if I knock on the door, depending on our relationship, he may not open the door for me."
There was a friction between the two on the train and they did not deal with each other. It is estimated that even if Fu Danhong asked for help outside the door, You Jun might not open the door.
"Why did he open the door?" Tian Kunwen frowned and said, "It's not normal for someone to knock on the door in the middle of the night. If the copy reaches D level, would it still make such a low-level mistake?"
After his reminder, others realized that You Jun might be in danger.
"That's not right." Wei Xian said, "I was in the room and didn't hear any other sounds. If something happened, he would have shouted at least."
"In other words, he was taken away without resistance at all?" Fu Danhong thought for a while, "Could it be that he left on his own?"
"If you encounter danger, you will resist instinctively. Whether it is the player or we are not aware of the danger, it is too abnormal that there is no sound or trace of a fight."
"What if you can't resist?" Yi Pei said: "Maybe the person knocking on the door has a way of knocking people out of their minds."
"Which of you has had your door knocked on?" Xu Huo asked.
Several people shook their heads, but Yi Pei said: "I heard someone knocking on the door of the next room. It wasn't You Jun's room. It was the man who came out to talk to us just now, but he didn't open the door."
"But he doesn't seem to be willing to communicate with us." Wei Xian said, "The attitude is not good either."
"The player who comes first has an advantage. He may know something." Tian Kunwen said: "Fu Danhong and I will go and ask. If you look for You Jun nearby, if you can't find a living person, you should also find a corpse."
Several people split up. Xu Huo, Yi Pei, and Wei Xian went to find the administrator to get the keys, but the administrator was not in the lounge.
"If he's not here, did he lure You Jun out?" Wei Xian said.
"Probably not." Yi Pei touched the sheets, "There is no temperature at all. The administrator may not stay here at night."
"His water glass was also taken away." Xu Huo added.
If the person knocking on the door is the administrator, he should not carry a water glass with him.
In addition, there were knocks on the doors of three rooms tonight, and the time intervals were very short. There were at least two people on the second and third floors respectively.
Xu Huo picked up the registration book next to him and compared the players according to their room numbers. Some of the names were crossed out, but the earliest guests could be traced back to three days ago. In other words, there is still a copy of the entry in the hotel.
Four days of player.
The curly-haired man on the third floor, Fang Penghui, and Liu Shiyan, whom he had met once on the first floor, checked in two days ago.
In addition, there were three guests who checked in three days ago, three two days ago, and four guests who checked in one day ago but checked out the next day.
The names of guests who checked out have not been crossed out.
"Those who have been crossed out must be dead, right? Did those who checked out go to the B&B?" Wei Xian asked, "Are these people still alive?"
Who knows this? After a pause, he added: "The Liu Shiyan I met first said that he was only here for one day, and he has been staying in the hotel for two days!"
"There is no need for others to tell you the truth." Xu Huo put down the register and turned to look at the stairs. Fu Danhong and Tian Kunwen came down. Both of them looked bad. The latter shook his head, "Don't ask.
When I got the news, I didn’t even open the door and was scolded.”
After a second of silence, Yi Pei said: "You Jun has not been found in the corridor or in the empty room. If you want to look for him again, you have to go outside."
"I want to go by myself, but I don't want to take the risk." Fu Danhong crossed her arms and pointed to the door with her chin, "Look at what's going on outside now."
