So after he figured this out, he suddenly felt chilly. After running out of the suite, He Fei immediately fled to the 13th floor above. The group of shadow people also chased after them without hesitation when they found their target.
Fight for physical strength? Fight for durability? Do not make jokes!
Because he knew very well that fighting against these beasts would lead to death, so during the escape process, He Fei did not run around blindly. Instead, he cleverly used various floors to move, using the wide space to move one after another. For several hours, he kept moving from 12 to 12 He frequently hid on the 16th floor and changed his position from time to time. Of course, dangers also occurred during this period. For example, two hours ago when he ran from the 14th floor to the 13th floor, he encountered a shadowy man. He also guessed that this shadow person was likely to be Han Meili because of his obese figure. Seeing this, He Fei turned around in shock and wanted to run away, but because the distance was too close, he couldn't catch up in a hurry. The shadow figure rushed towards the young man. At that time, even He Fei thought he was finished, but...
The next moment, something happened that shocked He Fei.
At the moment when Han Meili's shadow man was about to pounce on him, the shadow man dissipated and evaporated. His black body instantly turned into a ball of smoke, and then dissipated out of thin air.
He Fei was dumbfounded. In addition, all the doubts already covering his mind became more and more intense. Why? Why did only Han Meili's shadow figure disappear? Why do the other shadow men still exist and are still being pursued to this day? In addition, what is the connection between all these things and the worm hiding in the hotel?
………
In response to various problems, He Fei tried to analyze and guess, but in fact the above thoughts only appeared in his mind for a moment. The reality did not allow him to continue thinking about it, not to mention that given his current situation, there was no time for him. After thinking and analyzing, under the pressure of tension, He Fei could only temporarily suppress his doubts and speculations, and instead focus on escaping.
Back to the topic, He Fei sneaked back to the 12th floor half an hour ago. Seeing that there seemed to be no shadowy people on the 12th floor, he thought for a moment, and the college student hurriedly ran towards the presidential suite.
He is very tired now. After several hours of hiding here and there, He Fei's physical strength has dropped a lot. Now he urgently needs to rest to restore his physical strength. Otherwise, if he continues like this, the outcome will be tragic. When his physical strength is exhausted, it will be his death. On the day of his death, he had no choice but to hide in the presidential suite in accordance with the principle of the most dangerous is the safest, under the light and in the dark. Seeing this, someone may ask, are there other guest rooms on both sides of the corridor? Since there are other options, why does He Fei have to return to the more dangerous presidential suite?
The reason is easy to explain. It's not that He Fei doesn't understand the truth. The key is that he can't get in.
Yes, during the initial escape from each floor, college students had tried knocking on some guest room doors in the hope that the residents inside would open the door for them. However, unfortunately, no matter which door they knocked on, there was no response. You can't kick the door, because kicking the door will definitely make a big noise. You must know that there is a group of shadow people chasing him, especially the shadows of Peng Hu, Cheng Ying and Chen Xiaoyao, who are the most troublesome. Once they are captured, He discovered that the consequences would be disastrous and he would definitely die!
But then again, even if he didn't have the courage to break in violently, he could still knock on the door several times to test, and in the end, He Fei could basically make a guess and make a judgment...
Perhaps most of the guests staying at the Cecil Hotel are concentrated on the lower floors, while the upper floors are unoccupied and all are locked and vacant rooms.
Tiptoe, be cautious.
While there was nothing unusual on the 12th floor, He Fei returned to the presidential suite in a short while. Coincidentally, as he ran into the living room, the receptionist Qiao Na, who had been leaning on the sofa and had been unconscious for a long time, just opened her eyes and woke up.
"Ugh."
After rubbing his head, Xu had just woken up and was unconscious. He saw Qiao Na looking around with confused eyes and scanning the environment. He Fei's sudden intrusion suddenly startled her.
"Ah! You...are you Mr. He Fei!?"
Fortunately, the woman did not lose her memory. Sure enough, after a brief moment of shock, the blonde subconsciously called out the young man's name. After all, this generous guest in front of her who had given her a lot of tips left a deep impression on her, and he could call him by his name. Not surprising either. .
Of course, acquaintance is acquaintance, and after a while, Qiaona fell into a state of confusion again, deeply confused about her current situation, because after waking up, she found that she was no longer at the front desk but in a presidential suite, and He Fei appeared in panic opposite It also made her even more puzzled, so naturally, after casually calling the young man's name, before the other party could speak, Qiao Na looked confused and continued to ask: "Um...why am I here? I remember this President's room A suite is a room reserved for you and your companions.”
"Ah, what are you going to do? Let me go, let me go!"
It's a pity that He Fei didn't answer Qiao Na. Instead, when he found that the woman had woken up, he went straight forward and grabbed her. Later, during a series of panic and struggles by Qiao Na, He Fei forcefully dragged the woman to the bedroom on the right, and immediately shut down with a nervous expression. door. .
The result was predictable. She couldn't break free and was pulled into the bedroom. As soon as she entered the room, Qiaona struggled with a look of horror on her face and said, "Mr. He Fei, what are you going to do? Please let go, I'm going to scream if you do this!"
"Shut up! If you want to be torn into pieces, then scream as much as you want. I guarantee you will be 100% dead when the time comes!"
As mentioned above, seeing the woman struggling frequently, Cong He Fei used a stern scolding to make Qiao Na shut up obediently. It was not that Qiao Na was timid enough to be frightened by a word, but... just now, through He Fei Fei's words made her suddenly recall something, a terrible thing. She recalled that she had seen a giant human head in the restaurant on the first floor, and even witnessed a head-eating person, opening the mouth of a male guest who was trying to leave the hotel. swallow!
Could it be that the earlier scene was not an illusion?
As for He Fei, he saw the blond girl was stunned and completely honest. Due to the crisis of the situation, the college student did not speak. In his opinion, it was enough for the other party to believe in the existence of the wolf. There was no need for him to do anything else to this plot character. He explained that the only thing he had to do was to rest and use the dark logic under the lamp to seize the time to recover his strength. First, he lay in front of the door and listened carefully to make sure there was no sound around him. He Fei walked to the bed and took out his backpack, and then took out the food and opened it. eat. .
The only thing that surprised He Fei was...
Just as he was devouring a piece of bread, across from him, Qiaona, who had been silent ever since she learned about the existence of worms, moved, glanced at He Fei timidly, and finally walked to the water dispenser, picked up a glass of water and handed it to the young man. .
Staring at the water glass in front of him, He Fei paused for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out to take it and drank it in one gulp.
"Thanks."
Facing the young man to thank him, Qiao Na didn't say anything and remained quiet. She just stared at the young man eating and drinking. Soon, after consuming two pieces of bread one after another, He Fei's physical strength recovered. Until this time, he had been in trouble for a long time. Only then did Qiao Na seize the opportunity and ask again: "Mr. He Fei, after what I saw in the restaurant at that time, I completely believe everything you said. There is probably an evil spirit in the hotel, but I don't know the specific situation. What is going on? Can you explain it to me? Please, I, I really want to know."
Huh? .
Hearing Qiao Na's repeated questions, He Fei was slightly surprised. He instinctively turned to look at her. He didn't expect that this woman's thirst for knowledge was so strong, and her words were urgent. He didn't know how to answer for a while. After all, he had originally planned to finish eating. Leave the room, but now...
After staring at it for a long time and weighing it for a moment, in the end, He Fei still did not state it directly. He just shook his head and refused in a solemn tone: "I'm sorry, I can understand your mood, but I don't have that much time to explain to you, and I am currently being abused. There is a group of bugs chasing me. It’s not safe to hide here. I don’t have keys to other rooms, so..."
"Huh? What you mean...are you saying that it would be safer to hide in other rooms, right?"
Unexpectedly, just as she finished speaking, Qiao Na suddenly spoke up and said something shocking. He Fei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, stared at Qiao Na and said, "Could it be that you..."
The next moment, under the enlightened eyes of the college students, Qiao Na reached into her pocket and handed a magnetic card directly to He Fei.
"This is the hotel's internal ND room card. With this card, you can open any room except the office without a key. Under normal circumstances, this card is only used to deal with emergencies in the hotel. There are only two cards in the entire hotel. , one is at the reception desk, and the other is at the boss’s place.”
Holy shit!
After hearing Qiao Na's explanation, He Fei was immediately overjoyed. .
Yes, the so-called blessing is a blessing in disguise. It is true that having a plot character around him made He Fei a little helpless. Unexpectedly, he did not expect to get such a good thing from the other party, just as the blonde just described. , even though this thing is just an ugly magnetic card, it is undoubtedly a good thing for me who is currently hiding in Tibet and running hard!
Leave, leave immediately!
As expected, He Fei reached out to take the magnetic card. He Fei stood up and left the bedroom. He went straight to the door and told Qiao Na in a stern tone: "Follow me and try not to make any unnecessary noise."
………
The screen shifts, the camera switches, and it switches to the second floor of the hotel.
The atmosphere is extremely weird, the environment is weird and inexplicable, bright lights cover the corridors, illuminate the floors, everything inside is uncovered, just exposed to the light.
Staring at the corridor and looking at both sides, you can see that most of the doors on both sides are open, or in other words, all the doors of the guest rooms with people staying are all open. .
The entire corridor is extremely silent. However, if you look further, move the camera further, and even look into the rooms on both sides, you will see a large number of similar scenes, a large number of horrific scenes comparable to hell.
Starting from guest room 201, except for the unoccupied room, the rest of the rooms were all red and covered with debris. All the rooms were full of dead bodies, and they were filled with horrible corpses. The reason why it is described as scary is that there are no corpses. whole! ! !
The corpses included men, women, old and young, but they were all as mutilated as if they had been bitten by wild beasts. Some had their heads missing, some had only their bodies left, some were missing arms and legs, and some simply had no bones left. , a large amount of red filled the guest room, and the entire second floor was filled with the smell of blood.
Quiet, dead silent, without any sound, this is the real situation on the second floor of the hotel.
"Hehe, hehehe..."
I thought that the dead silence would last forever, but after a few minutes, the silence was broken by sounds, by a string of harsh female titters. As the laughter moved from far to near, the mixed shadows became more obvious. Soon, A huge head with disheveled hair slowly floated out from a room and floated to the corridor. In mid-air, the head circled for several times with a sly smile on its face. Then it changed direction after letting out a series of terrifying laughter again, and moved slowly, straight ahead. Floating toward the front of the corridor, floating in a certain direction. .
If you look carefully, you will find that the direction in which the head is floating is the stairs, which is located at the corner of the stairs dozens of meters away!
………
3rd floor.
At this moment, Chen Xiaoyao was restless and sweating profusely, pacing back and forth in the brightly lit corridor like an ant on a hot pot.
Although he had miraculously found the exit not long ago and even escaped to the third floor before the female turtle arrived on the second floor, what he never expected was...
Since arriving on the third floor, he has been in trouble again, falling into a predicament that is almost the same as when he was on the second floor.
There are still no stairs on the 3rd floor! ! !
At least there are no stairs leading to the upper floor, or simply...
There are only steps downstairs and no steps upstairs.
Yes, the stairs leading to the second floor are now clearly visible in front of you, but what is their use? You must know that the female man's head is definitely in the middle of a killing spree on the second floor. Unless he has survived enough and plans to commit suicide, he will not choose to go downstairs even if he is beaten to death. After finally escaping to the third floor, Chen Xiaoyao originally planned to continue running up. Unexpectedly, when we arrived on the 3rd floor, we discovered that there was no way above, and there were no stairs leading to the 4th floor!
There is only one stairway downstairs that is equivalent to suicide.
The upper stairs disappeared, and the young Taoist priest was trapped again, once again trapped in a floor corridor. .
So, Chen Xiaoyao spent several hours on the third floor with unparalleled surprise and confusion.
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he looked down at his watch and found that the time had reached 20:33 at night. After looking at the time, for some reason, Chen Xiaoyao felt an ominous feeling in his heart and glanced at his surroundings. , and sat down with his back against the wall.
Next, the young man frowned and fell into deep thought.
At present, Chen Xiaoyao is very calm, surprisingly calm. Although he does not deny that he has been nervous before, as his brows furrowed and he sat on the ground in deep thought, the young Taoist priest changed his mentality. He forcibly shielded himself from fear and tried to maintain his composure under the pressure of unimaginable uneasiness. Of course, he was still anxious, but that was not the point. The point was that he clearly knew that time was running out, and he had to think of a way to escape from the floor and go upstairs before that thing arrived again!
(Well, if this was a ban created by a Liji, I might be able to use magic weapons or Taoist techniques to try to break it. However, the situation is different. Now it is a ban created by an earth-bound spirit. The strength of the earth-bound spirit is unbelievable, and its strength is often several times or even dozens of times that of Li Qi. Faced with such a ban, it can be expected that my success rate is almost zero. I can't get out or break it. Even so, it can be Staying here is not an option. If I continue to stay like this, will I die, or can I just wait for death?)
(No, that’s not right. It can’t be said that if you don’t find anything, you will definitely die. I did find out something about the female turtle going to the second floor a few hours ago. I discovered a less obvious detail. In my impression, when the female turtle was in the stairway, she was still there. During the short gap when the upper floor is not completely reached, the ban on the upper floor will be temporarily lifted for one minute. At that time, the stairs will disappear and the stairs will reappear. The most intuitive manifestation is that the floor is powered off. What does this mean? It means female hopper The ban may not be 100% flawless. Well, maybe I can use that short gap to escape, but the problem is that I can't guarantee success, let alone put my life on this single guess. Once the guess fails, I will be finished. , I try not to gamble unless I have to. For now, I’d better think about whether I can break through the ban in other ways...)
As described above, in fact, Chen Xiaoyao had kept the power outage in mind when he first encountered the head of a female locust. Unfortunately, it was just a guess. What he really wants to do now is not to gamble with his life, but to use his own strength to break the ban. , this is not only important to him personally, but also important to the entire team. .
That is, to turn passivity into initiative, all executors must rely on their own strength to break through the ban!
how so? The reason is very simple. Based on his previous analysis, Chen Xiaoyao not only confirmed that Nu Qi was banned, but also vaguely guessed something that is very likely to actually happen, that is...since even he can be banned by space for no reason. Transfer, then other executors will most likely be the same as yourself!
They were all transferred instantly, and they were trapped on the same floor waiting for death in despair, waiting for the head of that woman to be slaughtered layer by layer and cleaned up layer by layer!
Based on speculation and analysis, Chen Xiaoyao has now basically concluded that other teammates have encountered similar situations like him. At present, the only thing he wants to think about is to search, find, and try his best to actively find a way to relieve the problem by using the executor's own strength. The floor ban method is of course very difficult to achieve. Breaking through the ban is as difficult as climbing to the sky. It can be easily seen from the extremely troubled expression of the young man at this moment.
Time passed by minute by minute, and thoughts condensed bit by bit. .
As time went by, Chen Xiaoyao was still thinking about a solution. During this period, he stood up many times to observe the corridor and scanned the environment, hoping to find clues from the details. Unfortunately, he could not find any clues. No matter how he observed in the following time, , how to think about it, the ban is still there, the environment is still the same, it is still the never-ending corridor, and there is still no way to break the ban, until...
Until the vision turns black instantly, until the lights go out instantly!
"Damn it! Here it comes!"
At this moment, when all the lights on the third floor went out, mixed with a sudden tremor of the heart, Chen Xiaoyao moved on the ground. He suddenly jumped off the ground like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and immediately ran away. Run towards the stairs on the opposite side!
Under the unimaginable terror and oppression, the young man threw away his unwillingness to try on the spot. No matter what, his life was at stake, or because he really couldn't think of any other way, Chen Xiaoyao could only take risks and gamble.
Then……
He made the right bet!
Just as he had initially guessed, just as he reached the corner of the stairs in three steps and two steps at a time, he saw the upper stairs that he had not been able to see appear instantly, and the steps leading to the fourth floor were revealed. Sure enough, , seeing the stairs, Chen Xiaoyao raised his feet without hesitation and ran towards the stairs, but...
Something happened during this period.
A subtle change occurred that made Chen Xiaoyao's liver and gallbladder split. .
In the darkness, I stepped onto the stairs with my legs. Before I could run a few steps, the lamps in the corridor behind me that were originally dark due to a power outage began to flicker frequently.
Seeing this, some people may be confused and confused about the development of the situation and the young people's reaction. For example, why is Chen Xiaoyao afraid? Didn't a similar situation happen as early as the second floor? The passage is only visible when there is a power outage on the floor. What's more, this time it is almost the same as the situation Chen Xiaoyao encountered when he was on the second floor. If so, why was Chen Xiaoyao so frightened?
On the surface, there is nothing wrong with the above argument. After all, the corridor on the second floor was blocked again after the lights flickered. Even so, this time, Chen Xiaoyao discovered the details and discovered a slightly different and terrifying detail. ,That is……
This time, the duration of darkness is reduced.
The reduction in the darkness maintenance time means that the ban lifting time is reduced. Compared with the first time, the time is significantly shortened!
It has been stated many times in the past that Chen Xiaoyao is a careful person. Because of his carefulness, the young man made special calculations when the power outage was first lifted and the ban was lifted. That is, the power outage on the second floor lasted for about 1 minute. It can also be understood that the ban lifting time lasted for about 1 minute. Unexpectedly, this time he clearly noticed that the time for the lights to go out was shortened a lot. According to estimates, if the first power outage time was judged to be one minute, then this time it would be only 30. About seconds!
(Whoops! What's going on with this thing? Why did the time shorten so much this time? Fortunately, I'm fast enough. If I still waste time looking back downstairs like before, I probably won't be able to run up the stairs in time. !)
Of course, thoughts are thoughts, and fears are fears. Although he is afraid, it does not prevent him from running as hard as he can. .
In the end, he ran down the stairs in a panic. Just as the light and the ban on the third floor were restored, Chen Xiaoyao barely managed to cross the corner of the stairs and rushed to the fourth floor before the ban on the third floor was restored.
Although Chen Xiaoyao once again escaped death and temporarily avoided it, deep down in his heart, a certain guess emerged based on this phenomenon, a fearful guess that became increasingly fierce:
That is, the reason why the ban lifting interval is getting shorter every time is most likely related to the strength of the beast.
perhaps……
Every time the monster kills all the people on a floor, its strength will be further enhanced. The stronger the monster, the shorter the time it takes to lift the ban!
