Feeling footsteps approaching, A Bin, who was enjoying the movie, suddenly raised his head and saw a handsome young man standing in front of him. Seeing this, A Bin was stunned for a moment, but soon he remembered the other person in his mind. , he had a deep impression of this person in his memory, and it was this person who easily opened the door lock of the reference room with a piece of iron wire the day before yesterday. Sure enough, when he recalled this, he saw that the person he came to was familiar, so he stood up quickly and was about to ask, Unexpectedly, before he could open his mouth, the other party said something before him:
"I have something to ask you."
………
Unlike most animals that can only spend their lives in chaos, humans are intelligent creatures and advanced animals. Humans know how to think, create, and have deep memories. Because of this, for humans, some unusual things Things are often remembered for a long time, and may even last a lifetime.
A Bin does not suffer from amnesia, so he is well aware of the power of these mainlanders. He was beaten by more than a dozen thugs. Unexpectedly, the other side only sent two people to beat the thugs. As you can imagine, facing this group of thugs, He neither dared nor wanted to offend the other person. Sure enough, after seeing the identity of the person clearly and hearing that the other person wanted to ask him something, A Bin nodded quickly.
"My guest, what you want to ask is..."
"About the grandmother who was murdered a year ago."
Grandma?
Hearing that the other party asked this kind of question, A Bin looked stagnant for a moment. He put down his mobile phone and replied with a puzzled look on his face: "But that night I told Mr. He everything I knew personally. At that time, you I’m also here, you should know.”
"Well, I know, but what I want to ask now is another thing."
"Then...then please tell me."
"Were you still working the night shift in the hotel a year ago?"
"Um, no, a year ago I was in charge of the day shift."
After receiving A Bin's answer, Cheng Ying knew what she was talking about, nodded and continued: "I heard from your boss that the grandma brought some luggage with her when she came to your hotel a year ago. After the grandma was killed, although her valuables were taken away by the murderer, her other valuables were taken away by the murderer. The things were still there, and later the police arrived, and in addition to transporting grandma’s body away, all the worthless luggage and other items were also taken back to the police station, right?”
A Bin didn't know what the other party meant by these words, but he still nodded blankly in affirmation.
As for Cheng Ying, when A Bin nodded, she narrowed her eyes and asked again: "Since all the above are true, when the police took the deceased's luggage out of the hotel, you who were at the door at that time..."
"Did you notice that there was a square package wrapped in linen?"
After Cheng Ying asked the question, A Bin was stunned for a moment, and then instinctively shook his head and answered truthfully: "About this, um, I'm sorry, I really can't answer this time. After all, it's been so long, I don't have anything to say." It’s impressive.”
Cheng Ying kept asking questions from beginning to end, and A Bin did answer truthfully one by one. Unfortunately, God did not follow her wishes. Just when she asked the most critical question, because the matter was too long ago and the impression at the time was... This time, A Bin couldn't answer, so he could only shake his head with a grimace.
Having said that, but...
Snapped.
The moment ten 100 US dollar bills were thrown to the table, A Bin stopped talking. His shaking head stopped instantly, and his whole body just stared at the bills and fell into a daze.
At the same time, on the opposite side, Cheng Ying saw the opportunity and stared at the other person while saying calmly: "I suggest you remember carefully. As long as your answer satisfies me, then the money will be yours, otherwise... …”
After saying that, he stretched his right hand forward as if to take back the money.
"Ah, wait! Let...let me think about it!"
Influenced by He Fei earlier, Cheng Ying, who discovered A Bin's weakness in greed for money, repeated her old trick. It was undeniable that this trick was very vulgar, but the effect was still surprisingly good. Sure enough, the moment he saw the banknotes, A Bin was stunned. I didn't know what to do until Cheng Ying tried to take it back, until the money was about to disappear, and she suddenly came back to her senses. A Bin just hurriedly said something to stop her, but then she frowned and fell into a state of memory.
Obviously, A Bin was tempted. In order to get the money, the receptionist immediately forced himself to recall, racking his brains to remember Cheng Ying's questions.
There is some truth in the saying that Taoists are forced to come out. Although he shook his head and expressed ignorance at first, under the heavy attack of money, A Bin still burst out his potential and performed beyond his normal capabilities. It is true to say that, and it is indeed true. After thinking about it for a long time , until two minutes passed, and finally, like lightning flashing across his mind, the next moment, A Bin suddenly slapped his head and said: "Ah! I remembered! Yes, the police did take away grandma's body when they took it away a year ago. He took grandma’s luggage, and there was a square package in it. The package was separated from other luggage and was taken out of the hotel alone by a police officer!”
After receiving an affirmative reply and seeing that the other party's expression was so excited that it didn't look like he was faking it, Cheng Ying immediately became energetic and took a step forward to continue asking: "Since packages and luggage are separated separately, do you still remember that time?" What does the policeman carrying the package look like? Can you describe it to me?”
I thought this question would be more difficult to answer, but this time A Bin blurted it out without any effort:
"Coincidentally, I remember this most clearly. I am indeed familiar with the police officer mentioned, because the police officer who took away the package was the fat police officer who led the team to the hotel to handle the murder scene this morning!"
"what is his name?"
"Um, um...I don't know about this. I only learned from the boss that Fat Police Officer Cha's surname is Liu, and he always calls him Officer Liu."
"Very well, the money is yours."
Ta-ta-ta-ta.
For some reason, after getting the answer she wanted from A Bin and saying the above sentence, Cheng Ying turned around and left, turned back quickly, and then walked quickly towards the stairs.
reason?
The reason is very simple, or the reason comes from the daytime and He Fei's inference.
Yes, after several days of searching for clues, combined with Bi Peter's earlier narration, He Fei informed everyone of his analysis results during the day, along with the urn, a key box that was most likely to contain Qi Longxin's ashes!
So naturally, after the urn was determined to be a key item, as night came and everyone returned to their rooms, driven by some idea, He Fei specifically stopped Cheng Ying and then ordered him to go downstairs to find the receptionist A Bin. Asking for clues, yes, He Fei vaguely felt that if he wanted to solve this supernatural incident, he needed to start with the urn. He must find the urn first!
what's the result?
It turned out that He Fei's analysis was correct, and Cheng Ying, who went downstairs to inquire, did get the clue about the urn from A Bin.
Now that the clues have been learned, there is no need for Cheng Ying to stay in the restaurant. After all, it is already very late. She just checked her watch and found that it was already midnight. At this moment, she only needs to do one thing, and that is to return immediately. , rushed to the third floor and informed He Fei of the matter immediately.
The scene shifts from the lobby to the corridor.
Da da da.
The empty corridor is filled with footsteps, and the undulating steps stretch to the top, similar to when going downstairs. Currently, Cheng Ying is still walking while meditating, stepping on the steps and continuing up, walking along the corners of the stairs, and is walking in the stairway returning to the third floor. .
Everything around him was as usual, and the neighborhood was as quiet as before. As mentioned above, Cheng Ying was going upstairs and returning, returning to the third floor along the stairs as he had done.
However……
Even though it seemed normal, even if nothing happened around him, somehow, as the walking continued, and as the floors continued to rise, as he walked in the corridor, Cheng Ying faintly noticed something was wrong.
(Huh? Why haven’t you reached the third floor yet?)
Yes, although the floor height of the Tsim Sha Tsui hotel is not too low, it does not take much time to walk from the first floor to the third floor. It can be reached in one or two minutes at a constant speed, and only needs to pass through three staircase corners along the way. Now in Cheng Ying's mind, she had already turned the third staircase corner just now, but...
There is still a corridor above the line of sight, and there are still endless stairs! ! !
Seeing this scene and thinking of this, the next second, Cheng Ying stopped and cheered up. At the same time, a terrible guess appeared in her mind:
Hit the wall!
The so-called wall-breaking refers to the influence of supernatural power that causes people to fall into a certain orderly cycle. For example, at night or in the suburbs, once a wall-breaking occurs, people within the scope of the supernatural power will be trapped in a certain circle. Not being able to get out, this phenomenon not only exists, but many people have experienced it personally in reality. On the one hand, it will not be fatal to people who hit the wall. In reality, even if they encounter it, they are mostly released by lonely ghosts with weak abilities. It's a pity, it's a pity that this is not the real world, but a cursed space, a mission world, and the one who releases this ability is the powerful and murderous Ming Liqi! ! !
Ding!
At this moment, as her heart suddenly trembled, when she confirmed that she had unknowingly fallen into the wall, Cheng Ying stopped moving and tensed her nerves instantly. While her concentration was high, her eyes also observed her surroundings vigilantly. Observing the corridor, yes, although she was nervous and uneasy, Cheng Ying had no fear or panic, nor did she panic like a newcomer or an ordinary person. She was a veteran, someone who had experienced strong winds and waves and had a strong mind. A determined veteran, faced with a sudden crisis, like other veterans, the professional killer chooses to deal with it calmly and observe calmly. The only exception is...
Maybe it was her misunderstanding. Somehow, she felt that the atmosphere around her was quite strange now. Her gaze was not the coldness she felt when she was attacked by spirits in the past, but another strange feeling that she had never experienced before. She couldn't explain the reason, like If I had to use words to describe it, the most appropriate word would be at a loss.
Let’s get back to the topic, let’s not talk about the weird feeling for the moment. Because she knew that she was in danger, Cheng Ying was on guard in the corridor. While tensing her nerves, she stared at the endless staircase corridor in front of her because of the wall. As a veteran, Cheng Ying is no stranger to the ability of a wolf to hit a wall. It can be said that this ability is one of the most common abilities of a wolf. The method to crack it is not difficult. You just need to close your eyes and keep walking. However, Regrettably……
At this moment, she couldn't and didn't dare to do it anyway.
the reason is……
The next second, just as she raised her head and looked straight up, staring at the corridor above, a shadow appeared in the front of her field of vision, at the corner. The shadow quickly condensed, and then, an old woman wearing a white vest appeared out of thin air. Appear! ! !
Out of thin air, he was at the corner of the corridor and instantly appeared in front of his field of vision.
Seeing the scene in front of her, Cheng Ying suddenly felt her scalp numb and instinctively took a few steps back. As for the old woman who appeared out of thin air at the corner, she was now staring at him expressionlessly. As the two sides looked at each other, they noticed that the old woman's body was... After wearing a white vest, the professional killer was frightened, and the calmness he could barely maintain earlier gradually collapsed, because the old woman turned out to be the evil spirit Li Qi mentioned by Zhao Ping...
Qi Longxin! ! !
then……
Cheng Ying turned around and ran away!
He turned around and ran away without hesitation at an astonishing speed that was far more than twice that of an ordinary person. He ran away without hesitation and ran straight downstairs.
Da da da da da!
Hooray, hooray.
Mixed with rushing and whistling, Cheng Ying was extremely fast. In just two seconds, she retreated downstairs like a hurricane. After that, she ran wildly, one after another, passing no less than a dozen corners along the way. , but it is a pity... no matter how fast she runs or where she runs, looking around, there are still steps and stairs under her feet, with no end from beginning to end, that is to say, no matter up or down, the hotel corridor It's like there is no end. No matter how powerful you are, no matter how powerful you are, you can't escape from this place, you can't escape from the corridor, you can't get out of this never-ending death vortex.
And what’s even more terrifying is…
At this moment, Cheng Ying couldn't continue running down even if she wanted to. It was not because she had no physical strength, but because the road below was blocked by an old woman.
Yes, as mentioned above, for some reason, just as Cheng Ying was going downstairs repeatedly regardless of her physical strength, the old woman who was supposed to be upstairs appeared out of thin air again, appearing out of thin air in the corridor below, and was on Cheng Ying's only path. middle!
"Hoo, ho, ho..."
His breathing began to become rapid, and the chill finally came, and the coldness quietly swept through his body.
Seeing this, Cheng Ying broke into cold sweat on her forehead. The only strange thing was... this time, she didn't run. She didn't turn around and run away like she did when she first encountered the old woman. Instead, she stopped where she was and looked at each other with the old woman. The reason was simple. Because she is a senior person, she doesn't want to do useless work, or in other words, she has a premonition from the scene before her that she can't escape. Even if she turns around and continues running upward, she can still have a premonition of the result and guess that it won't take long for the old woman to escape. It would appear on her own path again, blocking the stairs and stabbing her down. That's why she didn't escape this time, which was useless except for wasting her energy.
This is true, but...
If you don't run...
The current scene is extremely horrifying. An old woman appears out of thin air in an endless and strange corridor, and this old woman is 100% a wolf! ! ! In the corridor, time passed by minute by second, and the environment became colder by the minute. Cheng Ying fell into fear and fell into a desperate dilemma. Of course, fear turned into fear, and despair turned into despair. Seeing that Granny Qi had not made any move, The professional killer still bit the bullet and forced himself to think. With Tong Qi so close to him, he was desperately looking for a way out of the situation under Qi's cold and red eyes.
As the saying goes, there are always accidents, and the development of events often does not change according to one's will. It is said that it will be delayed, but it will be soon. Just when Cheng Ying was praying to Grandma Qi not to move for the time being to give herself time to think, suddenly, As a gust of wind blew inexplicably, on the opposite side, directly below, Grandma Qi moved!
Yes, Grandma Qi, who had been silent for a long time below, suddenly moved at this moment. She moved instantly, swaying her body and walking up the steps in an extremely twisted posture, and walked quickly towards Cheng Ying, who was a few meters away above! Although he was walking, what was creepy was that his speed was frighteningly fast. Like a gust of wind or a bolt of lightning, he walked straight towards Cheng Ying at an astonishing speed that could not be caught by the naked eye. As Granny Qi moved, something in the corridor The lighting lamps flickered collectively as if the voltage was unstable, flickering on and off collectively.
Fast, very fast, so fast that even a person with strong reflex nerves like Cheng Ying cannot catch the figure and can't respond. Even so, the results can be imagined.
One second later...
call!
As the cold wind suddenly blew by, and as the lights in the corridor flickered on and off, Grandma Qi moved in front of Cheng Ying in the blink of an eye!
Because the speed was too fast and the distance was too close, in Cheng Ying's field of vision, Grandma Qi's gray and blue face was far away for one second, and the next second, the light flashed and suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, suddenly occupying it. Its whole view! ! !
"ah!"
What a horrifying scene this is? Although Cheng Ying's psychological quality is extremely good, and her courage and courage are beyond ordinary people, but faced with this terrifying scene that can scare anyone to death on the spot, and at this moment, she is almost face to face with her terrifying face, the professional killer still acts as a human being She instinctively screamed, but as soon as she opened her mouth, her screams suddenly stopped suddenly because she was caught and grabbed her neck by Granny Qi's pale palms that suddenly stretched out!
"cough!"
Of course, although she was afraid, Cheng Ying was a veteran after all. After all, she was a professional killer with agile skills and extremely quick reactions. If she was just frightened by Granny Qi's fast movement at first, then, after all, she would After discovering that the other party is taking action and fully confirming that the other party is going to kill him, the powerful reflexes and superb skills of a professional killer are immediately revealed.
She did not struggle blindly, did not sit still and waited for death. In addition, she knew better than anyone else the terrible consequences of having her neck pinched. Therefore, at the moment when Granny Qi pinched her neck with her hands, almost at the same time, Cheng Ying's suddenly raised right arm and elbow moved toward Granny Qi. Hit the temple hard!
but……
call!
Next, something strange happened, an incomprehensible phenomenon occurred. Cheng Ying saw with her own eyes that her elbow, which could kill anyone with one blow, was knocked out of the air and passed directly through Grandma Qi's head. Without touching the opponent, it is as if he is attacking in the air, or it can be understood that the opponent has no entity!
(How, how could it be possible? Even if the other party is a locust or a spirit body, since the other party can contact me, it must mean that the other party must first condense the physical body. But, why? Why...)
She couldn't figure it out, she couldn't figure it out. Even if she thought about it with the rich experience accumulated by a senior person for a long time, she couldn't think of the answer or solve the mystery. What's more, reality didn't allow her to continue thinking.
Cluck, cluck.
When the blow missed, Cheng Ying heard a series of slight bone crunching sounds. At the same time, her neck and trachea were completely unable to breathe.
She was about to die, and was about to be brutally killed by the vengeful evil spirit in front of her, who would break her neck and kill her! ! !
but……
(Huh? Difficult, could it be...)
It was precisely because the blow just missed that he realized that the opponent had no body but could attack. In the sharp pain, lightning suddenly flashed across Cheng Ying's mind, and then she understood instantly, understood everything, and thought of the key point of the problem, then yes……
Hallucination!
A supernatural attack method that can blind the human visual nerve.
It was obvious that the attack methods she was currently experiencing were very similar to those of the Desert Lady or Yamamura Sadako. After all, she and other executors had been attacked by this weird ability in previous supernatural missions. The so-called To put it simply, hallucination homicide refers to creating an illusion to blind the victim's vision, so that people believe it is true, and then in the eyes of the victim it is a man who is killing him, but in the actual situation and in the eyes of others, he is killing himself, which is suicide!
As for how to crack this attack? He Fei once told everyone that there is only one way, and that is to do nothing and not resist at all.
"Woo..."
It was like an enlightenment, like a thunderbolt. Thinking of this, at the last moment when her neck was about to break, Cheng Ying made an astonishing move:
She stopped moving, her whole body relaxed, and she gave up her struggle completely. The arms that had been attacking Granny Qi were quickly let go.
Then……
A miracle happened, an incredible phenomenon happened.
The moment Cheng Ying gave up her resistance, the sharp pain that originally surrounded her neck disappeared, the feeling of suffocation disappeared, and together with that, Grandma Qi disappeared in an instant.
There is no reason, no reason, everything just disappears, everything just disappears.
Plop.
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"
As the severe pain disappeared and her breathing became smoother, Cheng Ying's body slumped to the ground, and then she held her neck and panted heavily. Her body was trembling slightly, and her body was covered with sweat. She was in a state of fear. It was so dangerous. Just now What a danger. If I hadn't made a decisive decision and gave up resistance in time, I might have died at this moment. I would have pinched my own neck and killed myself under the interference of hallucinations!
Suicide, I was committing suicide just now! ! !
Let’s not talk about how scared or how scared we are. In fact, the matter is not over yet, far from over.
Even though Cheng Ying has gotten rid of hallucinations and illusions, death still exists, or a more terrifying hell is still waiting for her!
because……
Quickly getting over the panic, quickly breaking away from the fear, just when the professional killer was about to get up and leave, just when Cheng Ying was trying to quickly turn back and escape from the corridor...
The mutation happened again!
