When he was caught like this, the old gentleman was also a little stunned. Apparently he didn't expect his reaction to be so intense.
He even ignored what Xiao Nizi said about dropping the mirror.
"How about we first listen to what Nizi said about what we found in the mirror?"
Xie Chen quickly shook his head.
"Put aside the mirror thing for now. Just tell me when you were in the room, did you notice anything wrong in the cabinet in your room?"
The old gentleman was a little confused, rubbing his chin and thinking.
"If you say that, there is something really wrong."
Xie Chen breathed a little quickly.
Just like what the hooded girl said, the guest rooms on the east and west floors of the hotel are all symmetrical to each other.
So, is the weirdness in the strange-faced man's room different from the one in his own room?
It became a huge research question.
"Hurry up and tell me!"
Xie Chen breathed quickly and urged the old gentleman to speak faster.
But after being shaken by himself twice, the old gentleman's tone became even more stammering.
"Okay, okay, just think about it slowly and I won't rush you."
Seeing the embarrassed look on the old gentleman's face, Xie Chen quickly smoothed things over and did not further embarrass the old man.
The hooded girl looked on with confusion.
"Is it possible that you noticed something strange about the wardrobe in my old man's room?"
Xie Chen nodded, but did not say anything directly.
After relaxing for a moment, the old gentleman sighed.
"Young people talk so anxiously. As an old person, my mind and senses are not as clear as when I was young. How can I still remember so much."
"If you hadn't really pressed me to tell me there was something strange about the wardrobe, I really wouldn't have been able to figure it out."
After hearing the nonsense he said, Xie Chen had the urge to curse a few words, but she still held back her words.
Fortunately, the old man did not let himself down.
After almost a minute or two, he sighed and said.
"If there's anything strange about it, it's just that the layers of wood sometimes make noises."
"Although this doesn't seem to be anything strange."
Probably because he felt that what he said didn't make any sense, the old gentleman quickly added another sentence.
"Why do you say that?"
Xie Chen asked doubtfully.
At this moment, the hooded girl answered the question for the old gentleman.
"I've seen the wardrobe in the old man's room. The materials used are very old and have nothing to do with the word new."
"If those masked waiters had seen them, they would have changed them long ago."
"Can you understand me?"
Xie Chen nodded.
Since it is an old wardrobe, moths will indeed appear on the wooden boards after being left for a long time, and it is inevitable that it will make some noise.
But he still didn’t give up.
Although he entered the room of the strange-faced man with the help of his pocket watch, he also cleared the abnormality with the help of the cleaner in white.
But those scenes seemed to pass by in a flash.
I didn’t leave too many images in my memory.
It even disappeared too quickly, giving me an unreal feeling.
Sometimes I ask myself, am I imagining what I saw?
Or maybe it was an illusion created by the brain in the eyes for a moment after leaving the room?
These are not impossible.
Xie Chen shook his head.
"Forget it, let's just assume it's possible."
Xie Chen said something in a very small voice, it was more like he was sighing to himself.
The rotten monster that crawled out of the weird-faced man's closet still makes me tremble when I think about it.
I would rather guess wrong and take this illusion as real for a moment than comfort myself and just ignore it.
Once you have this kind of fluke mentality, what should you do if the same thing happens next time?
"It's okay if it's fake. At most, it's a waste of time exploring something or a scene that doesn't exist."
Xie Chen calmed down and went through the problem in his mind seriously.
"But if it is true, if it is not taken seriously, I will be the one who dies."
The hooded girl frowned. She couldn't hear clearly what the guy in front of her said.
The old gentleman acted more directly. He looked at the young man who was in a daze and quickly asked.
"What are you talking about, young man?"
Xie Chen calmed down and waved his hand.
"Let's not talk about those strange noises for now."
"Besides the noise it makes, do you ever open that closet?"
The old gentleman smiled and nodded.
"I told you it's a wardrobe. Of course I've opened it to put clothes in."
"We have been staying in this hotel for so long and can't escape. How can we not use these things?"
Xie Chen nodded and continued to ask.
"The clothes in the closet won't change?"
"Or is there someone hiding in the closet?"
The old gentleman shook his head.
"It's not like what you said happened."
The old gentleman pointed to his clean dress.
"Old man, what I excel at in my life is red tape."
"Even if you die, you must die elegantly and decently. The clothes you wear are a person's face and must be kept clean and tidy."
"How could I give up my face to others?"
Xie Chen didn't expect that the old man in front of him would pay attention to such inexplicable things.
I really hate being weighed down by these red tapes.
The hooded girl looked at Xie Chen with a strange expression, and finally couldn't help but ask.
"So why do you care so much about the wardrobe?"
"Even when I talked about the mirror, you put it aside for the time being, and now you don't plan to ask me about it?"
Xie Chen stretched out his hand to signal the hooded girl to stop first.
"Did the mirror you mentioned crack into a cross shape?"
The hooded girl frowned, showing exactly the same confusion as herself just now.
"how do you know?"
"I remember that I did tell you about the cracked mirror, but I didn't tell you what the mirror looked like."
Xie Chen nodded, turned around and took a few steps back, walked towards the room, quickly picked up the cardboard on the dressing table, and returned to the door of the room.
"Did you find this thing under the cracked mirror?"
Xie Chen directly handed the cardboard in his hand to the hooded girl.
I remember the contents inside so well that I am not afraid of any damage.
The old gentleman originally didn't know what the girl found in the mirror, but now he had some clues about it, so he quickly got closer out of curiosity.
The hooded girl quickly browsed the cardboard handed over and the contents on it.
He also frowned.
"How come you have this thing?"
Xie Chen shook his head.
"I just said something fast. I also have the mirror in your room."
"We are all the same."
"And there is a closet in the room next to me, but last time I saw a monster crawling out of the closet."
His calm tone caused the two people in front of him to panic.
