After waking up again, my thinking became much clearer.
Xie Chen stood by the bed, stretched out, and rubbed his sleepy eyes.
This sleep did not cause any accidents to me, and my mental state became very full.
After eating that bowl of lotus seed soup, until now, the faint sound of music and the strange smell in the entire guest room on the second floor have not had much impact on me.
After I fell asleep last time, I still dreamed of those strange screams and even sobbing.
This time, not only was there no hand grabbing him for no reason, but he also slept with his eyes closed until he woke up naturally.
Xie Chen sat in front of the dressing table and made some plans.
The only point now is that I don’t know how long this state of sobriety can last after eating a white plate of food?
If there is also a time limit.
Then you have to find a way to enter the banquet hall and get another copy.
Of course there must be a safe escape route.
Otherwise, apart from this room, I really can't think of any other place in the hotel where I can protect myself during the period of weakness after eating the white plate food.
When I think about the side effects of eating food from a white plate, I still feel a little frightened.
After all, that feeling is really too painful. If I didn't have the hope of living and torture myself like this, I would really rather give myself a break.
But realizing that people can stay awake on their own is simply not a wonderful feeling.
Xie Chen relaxed and did some warm-up exercises.
It can be regarded as a whim.
Pick up the card again and check the rules behind it.
The most important thing is actually the first rule.
"It's best to double-check where you come from and what exactly you are using it for."
Although I still couldn't remember my name after eating the food from the white plate, I could probably tell my purpose and my current situation.
All these memories are already in my mind.
The rules on the card and the first rule on the cardboard both emphasize the importance of "sobriety."
Naturally it goes without saying.
Xie Chen gently opened the door with a card and walked out quietly.
The moment he opened the door, he already held the pocket watch in his right hand.
At least when a dangerous situation occurs, time can be paused in an instant.
Looking back at this function, I basically don’t use it very much.
In fact, it is also the sequelae left behind by those previous copies.
After all, the backtracking function was only available in the previous copy.
Unfortunately, the time to look back was too short.
But now, the effect of the time pause is shorter.
The Pocket Watch's lookback effect has been increased to a maximum of five minutes.
The enhancement this time did not increase the duration of time stopping, so I still struggled to hold on for one minute.
One minute.
In fact, it's not short at all, but sometimes it's really useless.
Fortunately, there is no limit to the number of times it can be used, which is undoubtedly the most comfortable.
I won't look like a stingy and clever woman who has to save money and food.
After closing the door again, Xie Chen checked the status of the guest room corridor on the entire floor and found that compared with before, there was nothing particularly strange.
Then I started to focus on other things.
The first is your “neighbor”.
This guy is also the main target of observation. He has good reason to suspect that the rotten and smelly guy found in the closet in his room is himself.
With the ability of the pocket watch to stop, the thing was only hidden in the closet in the whole room.
Between the time he ran to meet the cleaner in white and the time when the cleaner took action, he never saw the strange-faced man go upstairs.
Therefore, this doubtful thought became more and more certain in my heart.
There is a price to pay for being sober, and the damn pain I endured can be used as proof.
This is also a "clean" performance.
Will guests like the man with the strange face who are intoxicated and depressed in "dirtyness" also be "dirty" to a certain extent and suffer a certain price?
most likely to come to mind.
It's the pig head of the pig-headed man, and the whole face of the strange-faced man now.
They should all be specific manifestations of "dirty".
Xie Chen looked at the door being closed. After hesitating for a while, she knocked gently on the door.
"who!"
An impatient voice came from the room.
When Xie Chen heard this, he felt a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, this guy had already gone upstairs, and he didn't stay in the banquet hall for so long this time.
"It's me, my friend."
Xie Chen imitated the tone of the strange-faced man and answered his words.
"what?"
The voice coming from inside was still so impatient. Judging from the answer, he recognized his identity. However, no matter how Xie Chen heard it, the previous enthusiasm seemed to be gone in his words.
"You came up after eating so early?"
"Are you full this time?"
After asking this question, the strange-faced man in the room was obviously silent for a while.
"You care so much?"
"You won't go if I ask you to go down anyway. The food in the banquet hall yesterday was uniquely delicious."
“Especially the high-quality tuna belly and steak, I still have endless aftertaste when I think about it.”
Xie Chen also heard extreme luxury and desire from these two sentences.
Sure enough, after waking up, standing at different angles, I can feel this breath coming towards my face.
I finally understood why the cleaners in white clothes said that this place had always been "dirty" and it would be difficult to clean it no matter how hard it was cleaned.
Xie Chen sighed deliberately.
"well!"
But I felt that the atmosphere was not highlighted enough, so I quickly reached out and patted my thigh.
"It's really annoying!"
"If I don't go to the banquet, why are they selling all these good stuff behind my back?"
"Isn't this deliberately targeting me alone?"
"It's pointless to stay in this hotel for a long time. I haven't eaten anything delicious yet. You guys have taken most of it."
If someone is not defensive, anyone who hears these words will feel that they are complaining to the extreme.
The weird-faced man in the room is no exception.
Hearing your own curses and complaints is also a classic silence.
Xie Chen also shut up and did not continue talking.
After a few seconds, a burst of ridicule came from inside.
"I've told you a long time ago. I'm used to eating here, and I've long understood their urinary properties. You were not happy to ask you to go down with me for a big meal yesterday."
"Anyway, you can't blame me now."
"If that doesn't work, we can go down and have a meal together now."
"If you're still not happy, just pretend I didn't say it."
Xie Chen pretended to be very happy and patted the door.
"Of course!"
"I was just waiting for you to say this, brother."
"When I eat there, I have to rely on you to take me with me, otherwise I will be like a headless fly without even a leader."
Xie Chen said minding his own business.
The strange-faced man in the room groaned after hearing this.
"Hey Hey hey!"
"If you want to treat yourself like a fly, don't involve me. I am a serious and elegant person. How can I be compared with such a low-level animal?"
Xiechen said yes repeatedly.
But the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
These guys are really "dirty".
Even the way he speaks and behaves makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.
"You wait outside for a moment while I change my clothes first."
"I'm tired of wearing this outfit. If I wear it any longer, it'll be a bit of a loss of my identity. I'll change into a simpler outfit tonight. We won't steal the limelight and can eat more quietly."
Xie Chen did not reply to his words.
When I heard about changing clothes, I couldn't help but think of the wardrobe in this guy's room.
He had already spent the night away from the banquet hall.
In that kind of environment, being able to stay awake now is already a great thing.
I don't dare to hope that this guy can still look like a human being.
It may have been eroded by "dirty" to the point where it no longer looks like a human being.
Xie Chen could only stand at the door and take a series of deep breaths to give himself some peace of mind, at least he wouldn't scare himself to death when this guy comes out later.
After waiting for a long time.
The door to the strange-faced man's room slowly opened.
There was a clang, and the door opened and closed very quickly. Before Xiechen could even react, the person had already walked out.
As expected, the strange-faced man's face, which was no longer a human face, became even more terrifying.
The only remaining eyeball in the middle was inexplicably sunken, so deep that the eyeball was almost invisible.
Xie Chen even doubted whether his head would be squeezed open?
It's a pity that I thought so, and I was too embarrassed to let him stand still and dig it open for me.
