"Um..." Lu Mingfei stood at the stairwell of the second floor. The layout of this floor was exactly the same as that of the third floor.
Directly in front of this staircase is a corridor, with a wall on the left and several closed doors on the right. Lu Mingfei raised his head, looked at the stairs leading to the third floor, and then looked at the same place in front of him as on the third floor.
Narrow and depressing corridors.
"Senior sister, do you feel..."
Nuonuo ignored him and walked quickly to the first door. The house number was... 217!
"What's going on..." Lu Mingfei was stunned, "Why is this house number the same as our house number on the third floor?"
"I don't know." Nono frowned, "Give me the key."
"Oh." Lu Mingfei quickly handed her the key, and Nono inserted the key into the keyhole, which was completely consistent.
She twisted slightly, and the wooden door opened with a sound.
"Do the spaces overlap?" Nuonuo whispered.
"What space overlaps?" Lu Mingfei's brain was obviously unable to function.
"A physics theory that should be taught in Cassel's basic courses." Nono glanced at him, "Have you never attended the class?"
"Senior sister, do you think I am just listening to lectures?" Lu Mingfei scratched his head, "As long as I listened to a few lectures, I wouldn't have failed three subjects in the last semester..."
"You really don't look like that." Nono sighed and began to explain to her boyfriend, "According to the definition of time overlap theory, time overlaps. When time undoes the overlap, it releases time waves. It is the time waves that are formed.
space."
"What is a time wave?"
"Don't worry about it." Nono continued, "If two different time waves overlap, the spaces corresponding to the two time waves will overlap, but the two overlapping spaces are independent of each other.
, do not affect each other.”
"For example..." she thought for a while, "the two spaces on the second floor and the third floor are exactly the same, but because their time bands are different, they exist independently of each other."
"Sister, what do you mean, the second floor is the third floor with different time bands?" Lu Mingfei asked dryly.
"Yeah, but this is almost impossible to happen in the real world. Maybe this is also a characteristic of the Nibelungs." Nono walked into the room. The layout of the room was exactly the same as that of 217 on the third floor.
But there is no body outline drawn in chalk on the floor next to the window.
"We can deduce it." Nono twirled a strand of hair by her ear with her fingers, "This space now is Room 217 before Mr. Statham moved in."
"In other words, as long as we stay in this hotel for a few more days, we will have the opportunity to see Mr. Statham's entire process from check-in to his murder?" Lu Mingfei's eyes lit up, "Isn't that very simple?"
Nono didn't reply, but stared at the empty floor for a long time. She remembered the special reaction of the exposed woman before. Why did she stumble for no reason? Did she really have a physical problem?
"Not necessarily." She finally said, "Because we can't determine exactly when this space was on the third floor. If it was the third floor a long time ago, then we won't be able to wait for Mr. Statham to move in."
Suddenly, Lu Mingfei heard the sound of a door being pushed open in the corridor, like the one in the innermost room, that is, room "220", which revealed the room where the woman lived...
"Senior sister, please close the door." He immediately pulled Noonuo in and closed the door gently, leaving only a crack. The two of them lay on the crack of the door and looked out.
Soon, another exposed woman passed by the door, dressed completely different from today's exposed woman.
"An exposed woman from another time?" After the figure left, Nono murmured to herself, "It seems that there was a reason why she tripped on the stairs just now."
"What's wrong?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"It should be the impact of the folding of time and space." Nono replied, "The human brain is very powerful. Even if there are two people at different points in time, they will still feel like they have seen each other before."
"I understand, then we are now..."
「
Go back to the room and wait and see what happens." Nono said.
…
…
What follows is a very boring time.
Lu Mingfei was playing Xiaoxiaolai on his mobile phone, while Nono found a piece of paper and wrote and drew something on it.
During this period, an indescribable sound came from the upper left side of Lu Mingfei's head, which lasted for about ten minutes. Although Lu Mingfei had never been to the fourth floor, he could infer the floor structure from the appearance of the hotel. Basically,
all the same.
So it can be inferred that the young couple lives in "318".
Speaking of which, he originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to flirt with his senior sister, but Nuonuo looked at him like a dead man, so Lu Mingfei had no choice but to give up.
There were constant heavy footsteps right above him. It must be the fat man's room. The exposed woman living next door was very quiet and didn't make any sound.
It sounds like the entire hotel's residents are very normal, and there aren't any weird people or people with weird hobbies.
"It's six o'clock." Nono looked at her watch. She had adjusted it according to the Nibelungen time.
"Senior sister, have you come to any conclusion?" Lu Mingfei stood up from the bed and stretched.
"It's hard to say, there are too few clues now." Nono turned the pen with his long fingers. "First, there is a problem with the space folding in this hotel. I haven't figured out its use. Second, what should it be?
What is the existence of human beings?”
"We can only wait until tomorrow." Lu Mingfei consoled him, "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."
"You're right. I'm worried that Chu Zihang and Xia Mi have waited too long." Nuonuo curled her lips, stood up and walked out, "Let's go and eat."
…
…
It was still a terrible dinner. During this period, Nono and Catherine chatted a few words that were not nutritious. The fat man was irritable as usual and almost quarreled with the proprietress over the quality of the food. The exposed woman ate quietly.
Then everyone went back to their homes.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Senior sister, tonight..." In the room, Lu Mingfei rubbed his hands excitedly.
"Let's talk about it first. You can sleep with me in your arms. If you dare to touch me..." Nono's eyes were like bright knives, exuding bursts of coldness. "Don't blame me for being rude to you."
"I promise! I will just hold him to sleep! I will never do anything else!" Lu Mingfei said innocently, raising his hands.
"Then I'll take a shower first." Nono said as he walked towards the bathroom. After entering the bathroom, he didn't forget to turn around and warn, "No peeking."...
"No!" Lu Mingfei swore, "I can eat three big bowls of rice just by listening to the sound of you taking a bath, senior sister!"
"Slick tongue." Nono chuckled and closed the bathroom door.
Lu Mingfei couldn't sit still while listening to the alluring sound of gurgling water in the bathroom. He kept standing up and sitting down, and finally had to take out his iPhone and play "Lianliankan" to eliminate the evil thoughts in his heart.
"It's boring..." After playing for a few minutes, Lu Mingfei threw his phone aside and lay on the bed in a "big" shape, staring at the old wooden ceiling.
In fact, from the first step into this hotel, Lu Mingfei felt something was wrong. There seemed to be a vague sense of dissonance permeating the air. The time on the vertical clock at the door was "Ten: twenty."
”, strangely familiar.
It's like I've experienced this situation once before.
Why haven't the other residents noticed the non-existent second floor? Is his sense of déjà vu also the effect of space folding mentioned by the senior sister? And who does that fifth pile of garbage belong to?
There are so many puzzles...
"Holmes, if I find you, I will give you a beating!" Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth with hatred, knowing that he had never been good at this, yet he was asked to play some kind of detective game.
He suddenly thought of something, climbed up and grabbed the mobile phone next to him, "Where is the little devil? He should have something to do!"
Just like those classic plots in TV series and movies that never disappoint, the mobile phone does not believe it
No., Lu Mingfei kept pressing the "send" button of the text message, but only got a red exclamation mark of "not in the service area."
He tried calling Lu Mingze a few more times, but there was still no response.
"Damn it, you lost your temper at the critical moment." Lu Mingfei gave up and stuffed his phone back into his trouser pocket, "It seems that I can only rely on the cleverness of my senior sister and me!"
"Wrong, it's because of my intelligence, but you don't have it." Nono came in wiping her hair. Her long dark red hair was wet, with drops of water dripping from the tips.
"There's no hair dryer in this day and age. It's so annoying. I have to wait for my hair to dry by itself." She sat down next to Lu Mingfei and put the towel into his hand. "Help me wipe it, junior brother, I'm too lazy to move."
"Oh." Lu Mingfei began to help the girl wipe her hair.
"Only when you go back in time can you know how good it is to live in modern times." Nono sighed, "I will definitely... hurt when I go back. Be careful!"
Lu Mingfei just used too much force and pulled Nono's hair.
"Sorry, sorry." He smiled apologetically, "I'll be careful next time."
"Really, I don't even know where to go..." Nuonuo said angrily.
"Senior sister, you will do it after you go back."
"Well, I must cherish my life when I go back." Nono snatched the towel from Lu Mingfei's hand and kicked him with her little feet, "I'll do it myself. You go and take a shower."
"Go now." Lu Mingfei agreed.
…
…
Late at night, Lu Mingfei was lying on the bed staring at the ceiling with his eyes open, unable to fall asleep.
Nono's hands and feet were extremely dishonest when sleeping, which made him full of evil spirits.
"Who did it?" He sighed and turned to look at his senior sister who was hugging him like an octopus...
He gently took Noonuo's hand away and gently moved it to the bed.
I thought I could escape from the clutches of my senior sister this way, but I didn't know that after a few minutes, Nono got involved again.
"Okay, I can't sleep now." Lu Mingfei was helpless, thinking that he couldn't sleep anyway, so he might as well sort out what happened during the day.
All the people who interacted with each other, every look, every word, and every action they made was reviewed in my mind... and there was still nothing strange about it.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Lu Mingfei became sleepy without realizing it.
This is the first day at the hotel.
…
…
"Damn it, when did I fall asleep last night?" Lu Mingfei woke up with a start, and his first reaction was to turn around and look at Nono next to him. Fortunately, she was still sleeping peacefully.
Lu Mingfei held the girl's hand and looked at the time, ten twenty.
"Why is it 10:20 again?" He frowned, and about three minutes later, he heard heavy footsteps on the stairs again, which sounded like the fat man.
Lu Mingfei began to feel that things were getting more and more wrong, so he... continued to lie on the bed without getting up.
Because he is still listening.
About ten minutes later, there was the sound of the door opening from the next door, and then brisk footsteps passed by their door, obviously exposing the woman.
Hearing this, Lu Mingfei could already vaguely draw a conclusion, but he did not rush out to take a look. Instead, he pushed Nono who was sleeping in his arms to wake up, "Senior sister, get up quickly, there is something wrong."
Nono woke up instantly, "What's the situation?"
"Senior sister, I just seemed to have experienced the same incident as yesterday over and over again." Lu Mingfei said in a serious tone.
"What do you mean?" Nono couldn't quite understand him, "Repeat?"
Lu Mingfei thought for a while and said in a different way, "I just experienced a time loop."
"Are you referring to that literal time loop?"
"Yeah." Lu Mingfei said, starting to recall the details of yesterday's time with Nono, "It was ten twenty when we entered the hotel gate, right?"
"Yes, then we and the boss lady
After chatting for a while, the fat man walked out of the restaurant and went upstairs."
"I experienced a repeated thing this morning. When I woke up, it was 10:20, no more, no less. I looked at the time, and less than three minutes later, the man came upstairs."
"..." Nono was silent for a while, and then continued to recall the details, "We went upstairs to check out the room, and then went downstairs to ask the boss about staying in the hotel. After that, when we went back to the room, we exposed ourselves.
Come out of the room."
"There was about ten minutes in between, right?"
"Yes." Nono nodded.
"It's all the same." Lu Mingfei said word by word, "About ten minutes after the fat man went upstairs, I heard the sound of the exposed woman opening the door and coming out."
"This doesn't mean we are going through a time loop, right?" Nono retorted, "Maybe it's just their living habits? For example, fat men are used to finishing breakfast and going upstairs after ten or twenty, and exposed women are used to going upstairs at ten o'clock.
I’ll go out in half a minute.”
"I'm not completely sure yet." Lu Mingfei shrugged, "I still need to add some details."
"Then wait until twelve o'clock." Nono said.
…
…
It was twelve o'clock again, and Lu Mingfei heard two footsteps coming upstairs. The two people immediately got up, opened the door a crack and peeked out. Sure enough, it was Catherine and her boyfriend.
"This can explain the problem, right?" Lu Mingfei smiled proudly.
Nuonuo was deep in thought for a long time before she said, "This can only explain part of the problem, but it still doesn't rule out the reason of living habits."
"Let's go to the restaurant downstairs." Lu Mingfei hummed, "As long as you talk to them, you will know that if time really loops, their conversations will definitely repeat themselves."
