"How about it?"
"The content on the cardboard should be pretty similar, right?"
Seeing the hooded girl's panic, Xie Chen didn't want to explain too much.
The hooded girl, who had not yet calmed down, was stunned for a while when she heard her question.
"Oh... yes, they are basically the same. There are no differences."
Xie Chen nodded.
This way there are no surprises.
"Do you still have that piece of cardboard with you?"
"Let me take a look if there is any."
The hooded girl shook her head.
"I originally wanted to take you back to the room to see it, so I didn't bring it here."
"I just didn't expect you to have a copy now, so there's no need to read it. I guess you remember it clearly in your head now than anyone else."
Xie Chen was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that the girl could guess this. Judging from her unsmiling face, it didn't look like she was joking at all.
"What do you say now?"
The old gentleman asked the two young men in front of him with some confusion.
The hooded girl was the first to speak.
Xie Chen was not in a hurry and stood aside to listen to what she meant.
"It's useless to worry now anyway, and those things will appear in the guest bedrooms on the entire floor every day."
"The sound of music and the strange smell..."
"There was even a slight knocking sound."
After the hooded girl said the first two sentences, the old gentleman quickly added another sentence.
"Slight knocking?"
Xie Chen was a little confused. He had never heard this sound before. If it was sobbing or a child's voice, he wouldn't be able to understand it.
The hooded girl obviously didn't hear the sound.
"Old man, there is only one wall between our rooms. Why didn't I hear the knocking sound you mentioned?"
The old gentleman looked at the anxious little girl and immediately scratched his head and shook his head.
"I don't know much about this old man. Maybe I heard it wrong because I'm old, right?"
Xie Chen quickly interrupted the old gentleman's self-denial.
"Just listen and you'll hear it. There's no need to rush to a conclusion."
"What if this knocking sound really exists?"
Seeing the young man's affirmation, the old gentleman nodded and spoke more forcefully.
"Actually, I've heard it more than once or twice. Although it's very quiet, it mostly happens when I'm sleeping."
"Originally, the shouts outside would be silenced by these knocking sounds. In fact, I found it very strange. After all, these sounds are so small, and those shouts are so loud."
"Many times I want to open the door to see who is knocking, but after listening for a while, my eyes will close unconsciously."
Xie Chen frowned and asked quickly: "Then you fell asleep directly?"
The old gentleman nodded.
When the hooded girl heard the old man's tone, it didn't look like he was making it up.
"Old man, you seemed to have mentioned just now that there were shouts outside?"
"Is it the sound of a child talking?"
The hooded girl anxiously took the old gentleman's hand and asked earnestly.
Xie Chen was a little surprised. Could it be because the rooms had the same number and faced the same situation?
What I heard was the child's voice outside the door, and sometimes it was accompanied by a small cry.
If the erosion of "dirty" becomes more severe, another series of changes may occur, which can easily swallow up one's own mind.
The old gentleman quickly shook his head.
"There is no sound of children, where are the children?"
"It's all people my age who are complaining for nothing, and they even sound older than me."
"I already heard these sounds on the first night I stayed in this hotel, and it was only then that I began to realize something was wrong with this hotel."
The old gentleman sighed.
"We came together as a group, but some of us behind us somehow lost track of us."
Xie Chen quickly interrupted.
"Then do you still remember their names?"
The old gentleman smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"what name?"
"I can't even remember my own name, how can I possibly remember their names?"
Xie Chen took a breath.
Since I have obtained this information in my heart, it may mean that each room corresponds to a different type of person, and some of the things I encounter in this hotel may also be different.
The hooded girl is also aware of this. She may not have as many clues as she does, but she can judge based on what the old gentleman just said.
She is not stupid herself.
"But what is the way to leave this hotel?"
"Is it possible that we need to check all these rooms?"
Xie Chen shook his head.
This is obviously inappropriate and the point of leaving this hotel is never here.
This is the only thing I can be sure of despite having so many clues.
Leaving this hotel is not just about exploring.
"Okay, since you already know the clues that I should bring you, let's go back to the room first."
The hooded girl breathed a sigh of relief. Even without wearing sunglasses, she could clearly see her eyebrows that were gradually relaxing.
Xie Chen nodded.
He himself planned to leave the room to take a look, but he had no intention of taking these two people with him.
After all, if these two people are around, my pace of exploration will be slowed down a lot.
Moreover, I have more clues, and the information cannot be shared simultaneously, so there is no need to bring them all with me.
"Oh, right."
Xie Chen called out to the two people who had just taken a few steps forward.
"Do you know where the front desk of this hotel is?"
"Or the service window or something. I'm just going to see if I can ask them to replace the mirror in the room. After all, a cracked mirror isn't that safe in the room."
Looking at the expressions of the two people in front of him, Xiechen himself made up an excuse temporarily.
Although this excuse is very lame, after all, there is a girl in front of him who is in the same situation as himself.
She hadn't even said anything yet, but it seemed like she was getting ahead of herself.
"Hotel reception?"
The hooded girl muttered.
"I don't think so. Old man, I have been in this hotel much longer than you two juniors."
"So far, I have only been to the banquet hall on the second floor and the first floor. I have never been to other places. Of course, I don't have time to go there."
The hooded girl nodded.
Then he added something based on what the old man said.
"By the way, if you keep walking in either east-west direction on the first floor, you will eventually return to the entrance of the banquet hall."
"I have personally tested this myself. Unless you go directly up the stairs, it will lead to the guest room corridor on the second floor."
"The rest of us haven't really seen this hotel or its other rooms."
The hooded girl shook her head, obviously a little disappointed with this matter.
Xie Chen was surprised and even more disappointed.
After all, I still have to verify the card number of 0715. Why can't I withdraw the 5 million remittance?
Even for the businesses mentioned in the text messages later, I had to find a place to find out how much money was deducted from the 5 million.
Even if there is an entry.
The remittance address and remittance time of 5 million should also provide me with some information and reasoning help.
Xie Chen rubbed his head.
"knew."
I didn't expect that there was no way to pass through the dark corridors in the east and west directions on the first floor.
When I walked eastward, I saw a vent above and a lot of goods piled at the corner below.
Some distance further ahead is the cleaner in white clothes cleaning there.
If he continued to think about it, the result was obvious. After meeting the cleaner in white, he had already returned to the room unconscious.
Is there any way to continue walking down?
It’s not clear yet.
The one-sided words of the hooded girl can only be used as a temporary reference. After all, in this hotel, everyone sees different things in every room.
At least the hooded girl is still a woman.
Maybe if a man could detect it, or find a hidden room or entrance.
Xie Chen comforted himself in his heart, but he didn't get discouraged immediately.
"I'll take a look then."
After adding this sentence, looking at the two people walking towards the stairs, I actually had another idea in my heart.
If there is really no room on the first floor, it means that the remaining passage is probably in the banquet hall.
But this is just a guess. As for whether it is there, you have to take a pocket watch and take a look again.
When I think of this, I can't help but think of the mutant waiter.
There were too many things in the banquet hall, whether it was tables, plates of food, or the guests who were eating.
Plus the hat waiter who is a threat to him.
They are all obstacles in their own eyes.
The moment one minute of the pocket watch expires, it may pose a threat to yourself.
"Perhaps I can use the masked waiter to help me block it?"
Xie Chen thought about it in his heart.
I think this method is very feasible, but the route and plan must be carefully planned.
The old gentleman and the hooded girl had reached the stairs, but they did not go down.
Xie Chen looked a little confused.
Could it be that there is something else at the top of the stairs?
At this moment, a figure in white clothes slowly walked up the stairs dragging a mop.
Xie Chen was stunned.
"Cleaner?"
