Due to the sudden incident, none of the guests who were dining and chatting in the lobby noticed the changes outside the door. Only one person noticed it, and that person happened to be the receptionist Qiao Na who was closest to the hotel door.
Um?
Passing through the glass door, she accidentally saw the scene outside. The woman was stunned at first, and then left the front desk with surprise. She walked to the door and took a closer look, only to find that the outside world had already turned completely white.
"What's the matter?"
While whispering to herself, Qiaona took another step and reached out to push the glass door to go out and take a look. Then, something incomprehensible happened...
The door didn't move at all.
The glass door in front of me that usually opens with a push now cannot be pushed open no matter what, as if it is firmly fixed!
………
The executors of architectural decoration don’t know much about building decoration, and no one in the team has done decoration work before. Even so, it does not mean that people know how to appreciate it. When it comes to decoration, the Cecil Hotel’s interior decoration generally tends to be in a classical style. Of course, it is not pure. The luxurious decoration is mixed with other things. Strictly speaking, it is a combination of the American style of the 1940s and modern fashion. Generally speaking, this decoration style brings an alternative visual beauty to the first-time guests.
At this moment, the executives in a presidential suite on the 12th floor are indeed admiring this kind of beauty.
"Oh! God, I never dreamed that one day I would stay at the Cecil Hotel, let alone the biggest room!"
Smith has been shouting and excited since he entered the suite, and he shuttled back and forth from room to room. Although he is a basketball player, he is not a star after all, and his identity is only a second-rate player on the basketball team, so it is natural that for the first time Entering the presidential suite, the black man was quite excited for a while.
It's a pity that this excitement is only for Smith. Due to the huge cultural gap between East and West, the Chinese people have a much richer understanding of 螸 than Americans who only have less than 300 years of history. But because of this, Therefore, other executors except Smith were able to stay vigilant and look around for the first time. Finally, they all noticed the window and the sudden thick white fog outside the window!
"Huh? Where did the fog come from?"
Seeing the thick fog and sensing something was wrong, Peng Hu muttered to himself. Without saying a word, Peng Hu moved first and walked straight to the window, intending to open it to see what was going on outside. Next, something strange happened, that is ...No matter how hard he tried to lift it up, the window in front of him that was not locked at all and seemed to open with a push did not move at all and could not be opened from the beginning to the end!
Seeing that he couldn't open the window after struggling for a long time, the bald man's eyes gradually widened. He turned around and said to the people behind him in a shocked tone: "Damn it, the window can't be opened!"
Such a strange scene was naturally seen by everyone behind him. Faced with Peng Hu's surprise, the scene was quiet. No one answered him. No, strictly speaking, it was not that no one answered, but that no one knew what to say. , not only that, staring at the thick fog outside and the closed windows, a sudden and strong sense of uneasiness swept across, casting a shadow on most people's hearts. Xu felt panic from everyone's reaction and swallowed After taking a sip of saliva, Peng Hu's disbelief and evil spirit suddenly came up.
"I don't fucking believe it!"
Cursing casually, with an angry look on his bald face, he picked up a chair and smashed the glass in front of him!
Boom!
A dull impact sound was heard instantly, and combined with excessive force, according to the laws of physics, even if the window was made of thick material and high, it would be prone to cracks even if it didn't break when the bald man hit it so hard.
However, the reality is...
The glass window was completely undamaged by this attack, not even a single crack was left.
"This, this glass..."
Seeing this scene, at this moment, not only Peng Hu, but also everyone present was shocked. Especially Gao Jikun and several newcomers were stunned by the incomprehensible phenomenon in front of them.
The newcomers were frightened, but fortunately the seniors were much calmer. In addition to being used to seeing strange events, what really kept these people calm was precisely their extraordinary ability to understand. Take He Fei for example, as early as When he first noticed white fog rising outside the window, the young man roughly guessed the reason. As for why he didn't stop Peng Hu from smashing the glass just now, it came from the idea of experimenting. Sure enough, after seeing with his own eyes that the violence of closing the glass was ineffective, the college student stepped forward and hurriedly Peng Hu, who was about to continue smashing, stopped him: "Brother Peng, there's no need. Let alone the chair, I guess even if I blow it up with a rocket, I won't be able to leave a single crack on this piece of glass."
As soon as He Fei said this, Peng Hu looked shocked, and the others were also stunned and suspicious, wondering if they had some guesses. As Peng Hu gave up the attack, people in the crowd adjusted their nose glasses, and Zhao Ping gave up observation and raised his head to stare. Xiang Hefei looked at him: "Do you mean..."
"Well, obviously, we are sealed off... No, in other words, the entire Cecil Hotel has been sealed off, and everyone in the hotel is also trapped here like us."
One stone stirred up a thousand waves. After hearing what the young man said, the newlyweds suddenly lost their composure, and all of them turned pale. Jia Chengcheng even subconsciously shook his head and put on a lively expression and muttered to himself: "Why? How is this possible?"
In fact, what He Fei said was both expected and unexpected by most people. What was expected meant that the windows were closed. This is not unusual for veterans who have experienced many supernatural missions. Anyway, many people have the impression that It's true that all the turtles have the ability to seal, but what they really didn't expect was...
He Fei actually said that the entire hotel had been sealed off!
Ban all guests in the hotel as well as the executors and lock them in collectively!
is it possible?
Strictly speaking, it is almost impossible. Even many experienced people think it is a bit exaggerated. The reason is very simple. It is true that many locusts often have the ability to seal and trap people in a small space. But in most cases, this kind of sealing At most, it can only be within the scope of a room, and the maximum cannot exceed a few dozen meters. We do not deny that in the eyes of humans, hawks are indeed powerful, but in fact, hawks are still hawks after all, and they are not omnipotent gods after all.' They're also limited in their capabilities. In addition, the Cecil Hotel is very large, and ordinary creatures would never be able to completely seal such a huge building.
Based on the above understanding, this is the real reason why everyone was shocked and confused after hearing He Fei say that the entire hotel had been closed.
(The Cecil Hotel is completely closed?)
(Such a huge hotel was easily and completely blocked by a cockroach?)
Perhaps he realized something from the college student's words. During the silence, with a slight change in his face, Zhao Ping did not think hard like others. Instead, he narrowed his eyes, turned his head to the left, looked at someone, and looked at the person standing with him. Chen Xiaoyao, who had a similar reaction, saw that wherever he could see, the young Taoist priest's long-lasting composure disappeared, or in other words, ever since he heard the words "the hotel is completely closed" from He Fei's mouth, The young man had lost his smile and composure. His whole person was as quiet as a chill, and he suddenly became panicked as if he suddenly thought of something terrible!
A Maoshan Taoist priest with real abilities is inexplicably afraid of being like this! ?
In my impression, this person has never been truly afraid even when faced with Li Qi and the sea of thousands of lonely souls.
Ding!
Seeing this, regardless of the sudden tremor in his heart, the man with glasses spoke first and asked him: "I remember you mentioned something in the last mission, something about the level of worms, so I want to ask you now, continue After the soul, the lonely soul, the charm and the Li Qi, the Qi creature that is stronger than Li Qi is..."
The bespectacled man did not continue what he said, because just from Chen Xiaoyao's slightly pale expression, he had already concluded that he had guessed earlier. Although he had not finished speaking, when he said this sentence that was equivalent to a reminder, the next sentence For a moment, not only Chen Xiaoyao, who was already pale, began to sweat, but Cheng Ying and Peng Hu beside him also looked frightened for an instant, and both of them trembled!
Seeing the fearful expressions of the two senior veterans one after another, Qian Xueling, who was beside Zhao Ping, and Yao Fujiang, who was behind He Fei, also shivered in unison, as if they suddenly recalled a very terrible past. Time, the seniors are collectively experiencing difficulties and are feeling uneasy. On the contrary, Gao Jikun and the three newcomers are in a slightly better state. There is no other reason. After all, these people joined the team late and have never experienced many things. Perhaps this is the so-called ignorant people who have no fear. Well, of course, even if you don’t understand why the seniors are suddenly scared, the newcomers are still not stupid. In addition, the seniors all have expressions of fear. After a few seconds, except for the black Smith, who always looks blank and inexplicable, Gao Jikun, Jia Chengli and Han Meili The three of them swallowed their saliva unconsciously and their hearts dropped.
Especially Gao Jikun!
Noticing the fearful reactions of the senior people, he didn't understand why these people were so afraid, but with decades of life experience, he could still guess that the wolf hidden in the hotel was definitely very strong. In his personal impression, even The extremely scary female fangirls in the previous mission had never scared the seniors like this!
In the dead silence, after scanning everyone's reactions, Zhao Ping finally knew something, so for a moment he was shaking in his heart. To be honest, if possible, he didn't want to say those three words, and he didn't want to say those words. , but the problem is... He Fei's analysis just now is correct and his guess is correct, so even if everyone is hiding their ears and refusing to admit it, it is meaningless. After all, the terrifying power of the beast is there, and it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not when the beast kills people. Do not believe.
So, with sweat on his forehead and twitching at the corners of his mouth, he lowered his head and was silent for a moment. Zhao Ping slowly raised his head, stared at his teammates and said three words in a tangled tone, saying what he didn't want to say but had to say. A word:
"Earth-bound spirit."
