Xie Chen remained silent, not daring to make the slightest sound.
These things have been here for the third time, and according to what they said, they probably won’t last long.
As long as he doesn't open the door, he can survive these troubles.
Xie Chen lay on his side using the rules of old love in the guest room. He smelled the obvious smell on the second floor and the faint music, and soon fell asleep.
He didn't pay attention to the sound coming from outside the door.
As he fell asleep, his consciousness became heavier and heavier, and the sounds outside gradually became smaller.
But the air conditioner was originally on, and the cold feeling temperature in the room slowly became hotter for some reason.
Even though I had already fallen asleep, the stuffy heat still affected me while I was sleeping.
Xie Chen turned over in sweat and sat up panting heavily.
When he was about to wake up, he felt an extremely clear falling feeling that made him suddenly open his eyes.
Xie Chen gasped and sat up, looking at the layout of the room in horror.
There is no disorder.
And there wasn't anything strange happening around.
Xie Chen was breathing heavily and wiping the sweat on his forehead with his hand.
I didn't expect that after eating food from a white plate, I would still have hallucinations like the one just now.
"Is it useless anymore?"
After confirming that there were no children talking outside the door, Xie Chen murmured to himself.
Useless refers to the effect of food on a white plate. I have already felt this way since returning to the room.
The original effect of the food is becoming less and less obvious, and it can even be felt. The pollution in the entire hotel is getting faster and faster.
"If this continues, when will it end?"
Xiechen gritted his teeth helplessly, endured the discomfort in his body, and staggered out of bed.
The falling feeling just now was very similar to the dream I had when I first checked into the hotel.
But this time there was no feeling of hands grabbing me.
It's actually better than last time.
Xie Chen laughed at himself, and when he was about to walk towards the door, the door was slightly twisted.
Xie Chen didn't quite believe it, so he quickly took a few steps forward, straightened his head and stared.
But this thing still hasn't changed.
The twisting speed is getting faster and faster, and it is even turning in the opposite direction.
Xie Chen felt that it was a little outrageous, so he quickly reached out and took out the pocket watch from his pocket, and pressed the button on it.
The speed of distortion obviously stopped, and the door of the room seemed to be about to be broken into two pieces.
"Isn't this right?"
Xie Chen's voice was a little trembling. If even the door was broken, wouldn't he be in trouble if those people at the door who could make children's sounds come to him while he was sleeping?
I don’t know why, but after wiping my sweaty forehead several times, there is still a lot of sweat flowing out, as if I can’t wipe it all off.
that's the truth.
Not only was the sweat on his forehead unable to be wiped off, but there were also many sweat beads popping up on his back, so thick that it almost soaked the entire shirt.
A feeling of stuffiness filled the whole room. The air conditioner, which was originally on, seemed to be off.
It can even be said that it does not exist.
After all, if the air conditioner was simply turned off, the temperature would not have dropped so fast. The only explanation was that there was no air conditioner in the first place.
Xie Chen was about to scold her, but then she remembered something was wrong.
"no……"
Xie Chen almost ran to the dressing table and quickly took out the cardboard that he had thrown into the cabinet earlier.
Among the guest room sleeping rules, I seem to remember one item saying something about this.
Xie Chen pressed his fingers on the rule items and slid down a little bit, and a clear rule appeared in front of his eyes.
Reading down the rules, it is clearly stated that the air conditioning in this hotel is always on 24 hours a day.
"But what happens now?"
He admitted that he was panicking.
After reading the rules, the door in front of him began to twist again, much faster than before the pocket watch was pressed.
Xie Chen quickly pulled out the chair and held it tightly in his hands.
He took a step closer to the door.
"What are you afraid of?"
"Relax, this is where you belong, this is everyone's carnival, don't be afraid, you should belong here."
Xie Chen was startled and looked around in horror.
Voices can actually be heard from his room. If the intensity of pollution and erosion is not increasing, then someone has sneaked into the room.
Are they the voices of children outside the door just now?
Xie Chen quickly shook his head, denying the conjecture in his mind.
He didn't make any sound, and his eight poles couldn't make any difference to the children's voices.
A feeling of dizziness began to invade his mind, and the voices that had just stopped became louder and louder.
"What's wrong?"
"Don't resist. There's no need for you to resist. This is the place where the carnival belongs."
"Why put yourself in so much pain?"
"Why don't you forget all the unpleasantness in the past, forget all the things that should be forgotten and all the things that should not be forgotten? Why bring those worldly pains here?"
Xie Chen squatted on the ground, enduring the severe pain in his head, and shook his head fiercely.
"Forgot!"
The sound was an echo, passing back and forth in the room.
One sentence could be passed back and forth seven or eight times, and coupled with his current physical discomfort, Xie Chen couldn't help but become furious.
"Why should you resist what you think in your heart?"
"Give up the struggle in your heart. What else is there for you to miss?"
"Might as well return to your wild nature and embrace who you are."
"Forget everything in the past, forget those things that should not be remembered in the first place, and don't be so tired."
Xie Chen swept the air in front of him with his hands. Although he couldn't touch anything, he still felt as if someone was standing in front of him talking.
"Stop barking!"
"shut up!"
Xie Chen no longer had the strength to shout out. The severe pain in his head allowed him to hear clearly what the voices were saying, but he was unable to make a rational judgment.
There is no difference between him and a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Now it's like "dirty" is having a direct conversation with himself.
"Even if you resist from the bottom of your heart, it will only make you more painful."
"How can anyone give up the comfort that is right in front of them?"
"In that case, great, can you remember your own name?"
Xie Chen's eyes were about to burst, and his eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and his whole head seemed to explode.
"I told you to shut up, didn't you hear me?"
Just as he struggled to stand up, the surroundings fell into darkness.
But there seems to be a faint light shining on it, but my perception ability is very poor now, and I can't even tell whether it's because my eyes can't see it or because the surroundings are dark.
Xie Chen let go of his head with both hands, no longer holding it.
But even so, there was still severe pain in his head.
Xie Chen was soaked all over, and sweat was pouring out as if he was free of money.
Even the pants on his lower body were also soaked with sweat, not just the shirt on his body.
The only thing that could be clearly seen was the door in front of him.
But the degree of distortion on top did not decrease at all, and even began to twist in the opposite direction.
As the level disappeared and the sound stopped, a pair of eyes seemed to appear in the twisted door.
It's just that these eyes are evolved based on the texture of the door, and they don't have much substantive significance.
Xie Chen didn't look, but turned his head to the side in the darkness.
"Stop resisting, do you remember your name?"
"Hehe, do you remember your name?"
"Do you know what your name is?"
"you do not know?"
"you know?"
"you do not know!"
The same words echoed in Xiechen's ears over and over again, but each sentence had a different tone.
He had no choice but to clenched his fists, knowing that covering his ears would not help.
I kept chanting the word "dust" in my mind over and over again.
It turns out that the rules on the cards do work.
Just like the first rule, you must clearly remember where you are from and why you are here?
This will keep you awake.
How to remember your own name and how to understand why you are here may be the biggest key to leaving this hotel.
If you know how you came here, you will naturally know how to leave.
This is why the voice just now keeps emphasizing that you should forget the past. Forgetting the past means giving up the only chance to leave this hotel.
Then I really can only stay here forever.
But I am unwilling to do so!
At least after eating food from a white plate, the body has a certain resistance to the erosion of "dirty".
At least the brain won't collapse in the first place.
Xie Chen fought hard for control of his body, fearing that if he was not careful, he would completely lose his consciousness.
If you fall into confusion and want to eat food from a white plate without consciousness and memory, it is simply impossible in an environment like a banquet hall.
All the food-obsessed guests are like greed incarnate.
It can be described as gluttonous, and one can never fill his stomach.
Xie Chen tried his best to cover his head.
The guest room on the second floor is where the cleaners in white are responsible.
This also means that I still have a chance.
As long as you can persist during this period, "dirty" will invade the entire second floor so wantonly.
It will definitely attract the attention of the white-coated cleaners.
As long as he waits for him to react and come back to deal with it, he can truly be rescued.
But the process in between is undoubtedly very painful.
Especially since I had sobered up with the food on the white plate before, but now I was eroded by "dirty" again.
If you completely fall, or only half of it, and still retain a part of your consciousness, you can try to regain your sanity with food on a white plate.
That would be a more painful and life-threatening process.
"Stop struggling."
"You will be one of us, and you should be one of us."
"All the people who come here have such qualifications. What is repentance, and what is clean or dirty?"
"Those are just words to coax a child."
Xie Chen lay tremblingly on the ground, his whole body began to spasm violently, and he no longer had the strength to even squat.
Fortunately, the "dirty" voice is getting smaller and smaller.
Xie Chen gritted his teeth and hypnotized himself. As long as he could persist for a while, this pollution process would probably end.
Although the voice is getting smaller and smaller, the words spoken are becoming clearer.
It was like it exploded directly in my heart.
"Stop struggling."
"They are not naive children. When you feel compassion for other people and let go of your greedy heart, it means that you don't want to make progress."
"Selfishness is not necessarily a bad thing. Only by being self-centered can you become stronger!"
This last sentence kept echoing in his mind, and Xie Chen covered his head as if he wanted to get rid of it.
But all this is in vain.
As the sound gradually continued in my mind, I didn't know how long it had passed. It seemed like a while, and it seemed like several hours had passed.
Xie Chen could feel that his whole body had become limp and weak, and even his bones seemed to have softened.
"Greed, abandonment."
"Reason, self."
These words were switching back and forth in my mind, and even my own cognition became unclear as a result.
"who I am?"
"I……"
"Who am I?"
"What on earth is this place?"
"Why am I here?"
Xie Chen didn't speak, but he thought of different voices in his mind. It seemed that he was asking questions, but it was also like another person asking questions in front of him.
Personal perception, or perception of things around you.
is becoming increasingly blurry.
It seemed like countless hands stretched out from the ground and grabbed his body hard.
This is the only thing that can be perceived with the remaining consciousness, but that's all.
Even if he wanted to struggle, his body couldn't exert even half of his strength. Even the thought of giving movement instructions to the muscle groups immediately became blurry as soon as the idea came up.
One hand after another pulled down hard.
Although there were no holes on the floor, his flesh could still clearly feel the floor.
But these cold hands seemed to ignore them.
Everything is focused on dragging myself into the darkness, determined to integrate myself with them.
Xie Chen's consciousness gradually blurred.
At first, I could still hold on, giving myself psychological hints over and over again not to faint.
Over time, though, the resounding sound of the contamination process has faded.
But it seems that the consciousness has gone with it.
Fuzzy voices kept stirring in my head.
It seems to be starting to reappear again.
"that's all……"
"So be it……"
Anyway, no one will care if he gets old and dies.
Who cares whether a person will be remembered for centuries after his death?
It seems to be my own gibbering.
Then came the familiar cry again.
This time it was more painful than what I had heard before.
And it needs to be clearer.
"How could you risk your life at such a young age?"
"You are so careless, running to the Nine Springs alone, and abandoning your parents to the world of heaven. How can a son be so cruel?"
"You will still be loyal and filial. Your parents have worked so hard to pull you to the end, and you have already gained some insights."
"How can you be such a son!"
He seemed to be in a trance, being dragged into another scene by these pairs of cold hands.
Although his consciousness was blurry, he could feel that there was a medium-sized pot in front of him compared with just now.
Very close to your own eyes.
He was still lying on his stomach. Although he wanted to stand up, he couldn't even move his hands, let alone the rest of his body.
The iron basin in front of me seems to be cracked.
The longer you keep your eyes open, the blurrier the scene you see becomes.
I couldn't even tell whether it was an iron basin or a pottery basin in front of me.
A huge warmth came from the basin, illuminating his face bit by bit.
It seemed like even the moisture in his eyes was evaporating.
Cries were heard one after another nearby.
There seemed to be a lot of gongs and drums mixed in the middle.
I don't know what's burning in the basin, because someone seems to be throwing it into it.
Although I tried hard to raise my head and look around, I couldn't even move my eyelids.
Watching this scene helplessly, I don't know how long it lasted.
A roar exploded from his head, followed by crazy knocking sounds.
Sudden!
It was as if he had been freed from his restraints. His eyelids had almost been closed, but he opened them effortlessly.
But his vision was still as blurry as before.
After opening and closing his eyes several times, the scene in front of him was roughly taken in.
It seems like the ceiling?
But why is it so familiar?
My brain once again gave instructions to my body to get up. Although I could clearly feel the pain in my muscles all over my body, getting up this time was not so strenuous.
Xie Chen gritted his teeth and put one hand under his body, only to find that he was lying on the bed.
There is no brazier nearby.
Surprised, he gave up on getting up and turned to look at the door.
Beyond my expectation.
The door is actually intact?
