Jiang Li stopped.
There isn't much time left.
We can no longer search blindly.
Room 404 was indeed hidden for some reason.
But it must exist.
detail……
Did she miss any details?
Jiang Li closed his eyes and quickly went through everything that happened after arriving on the fourth floor.
The garbage piled in the corridor, the notices on the wall, and the waitress who delivered the food...
The waitress complained:
"I'll give you meals for a few days, and you'll have to build some muscles."
……correct!
She delivered meals.
Jiang Li opened his eyes suddenly.
In a corridor with so much garbage, using a trolley to deliver food will definitely leave traces on the ground!
Jiang Li lowered his head and looked at the red carpet in the corridor.
The red carpet was very dirty and almost covered with food waste.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that this entire corridor is a "garbage pool."
But among so much garbage, there is a trail in the middle area of the red carpet.
This is a barely clean path created by pushing food on carts over many years.
This path leads from the "self-service dining area" and extends outwards to the door of room 414.
Jiang Li's eyes flickered.
There is only one digit difference between 414... and 404.
Could it be it?
At this time.
A cheerful female voice came from the electronic screen in the corridor.
"The 'Big Eater Food Show' at 2:30 will start in 30 seconds! Let's count down together..."
This voice seemed to be cheering for the Big Eater show.
But Jiang Li felt that it was clearly a countdown to his death!
There are only 30 seconds left until 14:30!
Jiang Li didn't dare to waste a moment, pushed the "dining cart" and rushed to the door of room 414.
"...twenty, nineteen, eighteen..."
Jiang Li raised his hand and was about to knock on the door.
But her eyes fell on a line of small characters at the bottom of the house number.
The small letters are in red.
Lined with reddish-brown shading and red lighting in the corridor.
If you don't pay attention, you will be ignored.
Jiang Li browsed this line of text:
[414 men are very irritable, 404 men are very gentle. Dear, don’t knock on the wrong door when delivering food~]
Jiang Li paused before knocking on the door.
Judging by the track of the cart on the red carpet.
The destination of the food delivery should be the door 414.
Since it is confirmed that it is this door, the problem... can only lie in this "house number"!
Jiang Li observed it carefully.
Among the three numbers in the house number "414", the middle number "1" looks like an enlarged version of the "suitcase combination lock".
If you look closely, it seems that the number can be moved up and down.
at this time.
On the electronic screen in the corridor, the female voice continued to sound.
The tone is cheerful and high:
"...five, four, three..."
There are only 3 seconds left.
Jiang Li's breathing couldn't help but stagnate.
She raised her finger, placed it on the number "1" in the middle of the house number, and dialed down a number with force.
The number "1" is adjusted to the number "0".
House number 404 appears!
"...Two, one, zero!"
At the last moment when the female voice counted down to "zero", Jiang Li knocked on the door.
"Knock knock——"
"Hello, food delivery."
Jiang Li put down his hand and pinched his cold fingertips.
In a hurry.
Jiang Li actually noticed that her fingers... were trembling slightly.
The door to room 404 opens.
A fat face appeared in the small room.
"I know, please put the dining car at the door first."
The man's honest voice sounded.
Jiang Li glanced at him and smiled professionally.
"Okay sir, please use it slowly."
Jiang Li put down the dining car and left from the door.
But in her heart, she was slightly shocked.
This so-called tenant No. 404 is not so much a normal person, but Jiang Li feels that he is more like a "monster".
This man's size is more than three or four times larger than Jiang Li.
The fat on the man's entire body is layered and accumulated in circles.
From the legs to the waist, to the arms, neck, and face, everything is divided into several thick layers.
In the small space behind door 404, the man could no longer walk out directly.
He was lying sideways, slumped on the ground, squeezed into the entrance behind Gate 404.
Every gap in the entrance hall was filled with the fat that overflowed from the man's body.
Jiang Li had never seen such a person before.
"Waiter, please wait."
Jiang Li walked halfway when the 404 tenant behind her stopped her.
Jiang Li stopped and turned back.
"Sir, if you have anything to say, please tell me."
Jiang Li returned to the door with a smile.
And this time——
The man in room 404 was using his bloated fingers to pick up the last piece of food on the dining cart and stuffed it into his mouth.
"One more car, thank you."
The man twirled his fingers and made some beautiful "squeaking" sounds.
Jiang Li looked at the eaten food in the car and was stunned for a moment.
"Okay sir, please wait a moment."
Jiang Li pushed the dining cart away.
She was in a daze for a moment.
Is this eating speed real?
Jiang Li even began to suspect that perhaps this tenant No. 404 didn't want to leave the hotel.
But... I couldn't squeeze into the elevator or leave the hotel!
Jiang Li wondered if the man had to eat like crazy for some special reason.
But the more he ate, the more he gained weight, which also caused him to be unable to move like a normal person.
Even...the elevator is overloaded.
So trapped here.
Jiang Li was thinking all the way and had unknowingly arrived at the "Garbage Disposal Window" on the fourth floor.
This window has long been full of garbage.
Jiang Li had no choice but to pour the food residue from the dining cart outside the window.
There is more garbage in the corridor.
"Waiter, please hurry up, thank you."
The man behind him kept urging.
"Yes sir."
Jiang Li agreed casually.
He quickly pushed the dining cart towards the "self-service area".
She also wanted to find this man to get good reviews, so she couldn't take it too lightly.
Jiang Li walked into the "self-service dining area".
Food of your choice in the dining area.
Today's dosage has been reduced by more than half.
It was probably eaten by tenant 404 in the morning.
Jiang Li walked around the dining area and selected some of various foods.
"New here, there's a car ready here."
A chef in the kitchen called Jiang Li.
Jiang Li turned around and saw behind the kitchen curtain, stretching out a hand.
The hand was pointing at a food delivery truck in the corner.
Jiang Li glanced over there.
The food truck in the corner has a lot of crabs freshly cooked by the chef.
The sea crabs have just come out of the pot and are still steaming white.
"Waiter! Hurry up! Thank you!" The man's urging sounded through the corridor.
While the chef was chopping vegetables, he told Jiang Li:
"Just give me this! I know he's in a hurry, so I specially prepared it for you."
Jiang Li weighed it up, put down the cart in his hand, and pushed the prepared dining cart out.
As she pushed the cart and walked out, she looked at the corner of the dining area.
Some of the marine food originally stored there was basically untouched.
Jiang Li looked at the kitchen.
The rules for the 4th floor kitchen are printed on the kitchen curtain.
[Qingquan Hotel-4th Floor Kitchen Rules]
【1. You can completely trust the chef. Chefs never lie. 】
【2. Please supervise kitchen hygiene. If food hygiene is not up to standard, you can call the hotel’s internal reporting hotline: 4949. 】
Jiang Li scanned it with the "eye of truth".
Both rules are true.
"Brother Chef, can guests 404 eat seafood? Are they allergic to seafood?" Jiang Liduo asked.
The chef at the back concentrated on cutting the vegetables and responded casually:
"Don't worry, he's not allergic. My whole family will die if I lie to you."
