They politely bid farewell to the guide. Under the leadership of He Fei, everyone rushed directly to the hotel. They were currently walking on the bustling street with noisy people and cars, and then...
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Peng Hu touched Cheng Ying's arm while walking.
As if they understood, both Peng Hu and Cheng Ying slowed down at the same time, and finally hung up behind the team. While walking side by side, Cheng Ying asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"
"I want him to die, and I won't allow him to live for even a minute longer!" Listening to Cheng Ying's question, Peng Hu answered casually with an expressionless face beside him. As for Cheng Ying...
It is extremely rare to see a bald man planning to kill someone! Hearing this, the female killer's eyebrows were slightly complicated, but she still nodded and responded after a few seconds of silence: "Okay, I understand, I will solve this matter."
After saying a few words, Cheng Ying left the team and quietly disappeared into the crowd behind her without attracting the attention of others...
5 minutes later.
"Here we are, right here!"
Standing in front of a large and luxurious building, He Fei raised his head and stared. After confirming that it was the Alfa Hotel in front of him, he gritted his teeth. He Fei took the lead towards the door. It is worth mentioning that just as the crowd was walking towards the hotel, A figure flashed out from the end of the line, followed by a whispered conversation.
"I have already cleaned up the traces at the scene, and the body was hidden in the trash can. Even if it is discovered by the police, it will take us a week at best to find it."
"What? Finished? So fast? Hey, he is indeed a professional killer. He is very good at eliminating evidence and destroying corpses. I knew you were the only one suitable for this job."
"Come on, Baldhead, I'm too lazy to talk to you now, forget it, it's not a big deal anyway, just go in quickly."
When everyone entered the hotel, they saw that the interior was exactly the same as in the video. Except that there was a patio in the center that led directly to the top, the decoration of the lobby was still the same as in the video. The space here was spacious and gorgeous, and naturally there were Including mirrors, there are many floor-to-ceiling mirrors almost all over the hall.
At this moment, He Fei frowned slightly as he looked around at the mirrors.
(Something’s wrong, it’s getting more and more wrong. Although I’ve seen mirrors in earlier videos, the feeling of being there is still stronger than in the video. Why? Why are there so many mirrors here?)
He Fei has never considered himself a fussy person, but he believes in intuition. Sometimes intuition can indeed bring a certain degree of warning. If the original video preview only made him surprised and doubtful, then now At this moment, when he was standing in the hotel lobby, in addition to doubts, an intuition called crisis suddenly emerged, prompting him to pay more attention to the lobby mirror!
With the intuition of a growing crisis, He Fei looked back at everyone and saw that except for the newcomers, almost everyone was looking at the mirror involuntarily after looking at the environment. This was in line with the usual cautious characteristics of the executor. In fact, it was also right. After all, there are a lot of mirrors, and the number alone is enough to attract everyone's attention. In addition, if the others are just staring out of curiosity, then Zhao Ping is the only executor who shows a nervous expression, and his expression is exactly the same as that of He Fei.
(It seems that like me, you smell danger from the mirrors scattered throughout the hall, but I just don’t know how you plan to deal with it.)
Thinking about this, He Fei's thoughts started to change slightly, and he planned to test Zhao Ping's tone, but...
"Hello, gentlemen and ladies, welcome to Alpha Hotel, where you can get the best attentive service in the city."
……………
"Hello, gentlemen and ladies, welcome to Alpha Hotel, where you can get the best attentive service in the city."
Just as He Fei and other executors were staring at the mirror curiously, a voice came from behind them. Looking back, they saw someone walking across from them, a man in a suit.
The man was about forty years old and looked quite capable. He had a professional smile on his face. He came in front of everyone and straightened his suit. The man nodded politely and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, my surname is Liu. I am the lobby manager of our store. Manager, would you like to dine or stay? If you want to stay, we have various types of suites here, and the longer you stay, the more favorable the price will be."
As expected of a high-star hotel, there is even a lobby manager, and this person is very good at reading people. Especially after seeing that everyone is dressed like a traveler because they are carrying backpacks, the manager surnamed Liu has already concluded that there are nine out of ten people in front of him. They were tourists from out of town, and they took advantage of the trend to promote hotel suites. Not to mention, Manager Liu guessed correctly that the men and women in front of him were indeed not locals, not even from this world.
Fortunately, Manager Liu would not and could not know about such a deep-seated problem. When Manager Liu took the initiative to greet him, all the executors were silent. Peng Hu even put on an expression of displeasure at seeing a fly, as if to say that you are disturbing me. In the observation hall, it's a pity that his displeasure was not noticed by the other party. As a professional in the service industry, who has Manager Liu not met? In order to make a profit, he has long been as thick-skinned as an innocent person. Even though no one cares about him, Manager Liu still maintains his professional smile.
"Hello, Manager Liu." Finally, I don't know whether he temporarily diverted his attention or suddenly thought of something. Seeing Manager Liu take the initiative to greet the guests, He Fei also responded politely: "Your place is quite big, and the decoration is also good. It looks like Quite luxurious.”
"Haha, this gentleman has great vision. Our Alfa Hotel may not be ranked high in China, but it is the largest hotel in Feipeng City. We also hired specialized foreign designers for the decoration, so we created a... The luxurious yet elegant sensory environment aims to allow every guest who comes to dine here to enjoy the atmosphere while enjoying the food.”
In order to persuade everyone to stay here as much as possible, as soon as He Fei took over, Manager Liu worked hard to promote his hotel, which was indeed in line with the characteristics of a lobby manager.
"Well, yes, yes, that's right. This place is elegant and luxurious, you can enjoy delicious food, and the service is attentive. But the price must be the most expensive in the city, right? From the time I walked in until now, I haven't seen many customers in your store. ." Seeing the man in the suit starting to brag about himself, Peng Hu's upright character broke out. He showed disdain to answer on the spot, and actually told the truth directly. After hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing, while Chen Xiaoyao simply grinned and nodded in agreement. He said: "Hey, what Brother Peng said makes sense. As the saying goes, capital exploitation is everywhere. Even going to a hut requires money, let alone staying in a hotel."
"By the way, this is Manager Liu, do you charge for the huts here?"
"Ah, well, please don't worry. The restrooms in our hotel are free. In addition, the reason why there don't seem to be many customers in our hotel is not because our prices are high, but because it is not the peak tourist season yet. In fact, even if it is not the peak tourist season in the near future, There are currently about a hundred people staying in the store, so don’t worry, our Alpha Hotel is operating legally and there will never be any cheating!"
Listening to Peng and Chen's teasing, everyone was completely amused. Only Manager Liu was extremely embarrassed. Even though he was quite thick-skinned, he was still caught off guard by the two people's overly straightforward guesses. The scalp hastily explained that this is absolutely not the case!
"Okay, okay, Brother Peng and Xiaoyao, please calm down for a while. I'll talk to Manager Liu." In order to implement the plan smoothly, He Fei stopped laughing and asked the two of them to shut up. At the same time, he looked at the embarrassed Liu. The manager took two steps closer and continued: "Manager Liu has a good eye and recommended it at the right time. We are tourists from out of town and the purpose of coming here is to stay."
"Ah, welcome, please come to the front desk to register."
As expected, when the young man who seemed to be the leader expressed his willingness to stay, Manager Liu, who secretly sighed that his busy work was not in vain, was overjoyed and greeted him warmly with a smile on his face. The rest was easy. Under Manager Liu’s warm greeting , everyone came to the welcome front desk, and the person in charge of the front desk was indeed a good-looking female receptionist. For safety reasons, He Fei was very straightforward. He did not select rooms or group accommodation, but directly booked They bought the most expensive Zhongtong Suite. As expected, Peng Hu and Chen Xiaoyao had just guessed it correctly. Let’s not mention the price of the ordinary rooms here, but the Zhongtong Suite here was really shockingly expensive. That day, four The cost of several digits simply illustrates the word "expensive". Ordinary people can't afford it. Fortunately, this so-called expensiveness is nothing in the eyes of the executor who is always not short of money. It will be processed with a fake certificate produced by the curse. After registering for accommodation, He Fei chose to stay on the 5th floor. The reason for choosing the 5th floor was that the Zhongtong Suite was only available on the top floor and the 5th floor. First of all, it can be affirmed that the executor would never If you want to live on the top floor of a high-rise, which is not conducive to escape, then you have to choose the 5th floor to stay. It is worth mentioning that in addition to the Zhongtong suite on the 5th floor, there is also a lobby that is almost the same as the 1st floor. It is for the convenience of guests living on high floors for casual dining.
Manager Liu smiled happily when he learned that this group of people had booked a Zhongtong suite! This has no reason for him to be unhappy. As an industry insider, Manager Liu certainly knows that where guests stay is directly related to his own interests. In other words, if a guest stays in a high-end suite during his duty, as a manager, he will receive extra dividends. Yes, it is related to his own interests, so Manager Liu is naturally happy. As expected, as soon as the executor completed the accommodation registration, the attitude of Manager Liu, who accompanied the whole process, changed. If it was just professional politeness at the beginning, then after learning After everyone chose the Zhongtong Suite, Manager Liu finally showed a 'sincere' smile, and then introduced him respectfully: "Guests, please rest assured that the 5th and 10th floors are the floors with the best service in our store, and there is also a beautiful place on the 5th floor. In the lobby, you can dine directly there without going downstairs. If anything happens, you can ask the waiter to contact me."
"Okay, with Manager Liu's words, we can rest assured. During our stay, maybe we really have something to solve with you." After saying a meaningful word to Manager Liu, He Fei led the team upstairs. but……
As soon as he turned around, as if he thought of something, He Fei turned back and said, "By the way, Manager Liu, I have a question I want to ask."
"Guests, please feel free to ask."
Seeing Manager Liu nodding in agreement, He Fei first glanced around the hall, and then asked with curiosity on his face: "Do you have a lot of mirrors here?"
Yes, after performing for a long time, He Fei finally revealed his true intention, and the reason why he got close to Manager Liu was precisely to get the answer from the other party. Since he had always cared about the large number of various mirrors in the hall, in fact As early as when they entered the hotel, everyone, including He Fei, had looked at the mirror. They walked to the mirror and looked at it carefully. They looked at it, but unfortunately they couldn't see anything. No matter how they looked at it, the mirror was just an ordinary mirror. That's all, apart from being able to reflect people's images, there is nothing else. This is indeed the case, but precisely because the mirrors are all ordinary, He Feicai's doubts deepen and he can't figure out why there are so many mirrors in the hotel.
"Oh, so this is what you are asking. Many customers have asked this question in the past. Regarding the large number of mirrors in our store, I actually don't know much about it myself. I just heard from the previous manager that mirrors have been in the hotel for a long time. It was there when it was built, and it is a decoration. It is said to be a popular decorative style in the Western Renaissance, and our Alfa Hotel happens to focus on Western style, so we made a similar decoration according to the gourd painting." Look. Since this group of people can bring benefits to him, Manager Liu knows everything about He Fei's problem. He directly tells the other party everything he knows. He does not deny that as a hotel manager, he must He knew more than the waiter, but he was still working part-time after all. When asked, he could only tell the reasons he had heard.
And it’s worth mentioning, what about the mirrors everywhere in the hotel? Not to mention the guests, even I and many waiters working in the hotel were surprised and a little confused about Westerners' aesthetic standards.
(Western Renaissance decorative style? Hmm? Is there such a style?).
"I see, by the way, is the owner of your hotel here?" After getting some clues about the mirror from Manager Liu, He Fei pondered for a few seconds, and then asked again, asking the owner of the hotel. The purpose was self-evident. , and Manager Liu shrugged and replied truthfully: "I'm not here at the moment. Our boss is a busy man. He usually works on investment projects in other provinces and rarely comes to the hotel."
"Does the guest have anything else to ask?"
"Yes, of course."
After answering the other party's questions twice in a row, Manager Liu thought that the other party would go directly upstairs this time, and casually said a polite polite question. Unexpectedly, his politeness was taken seriously by the other party. As soon as he finished speaking, the leading young man was on the spot. Nod to express that there is still more! Seeing this, Manager Liu, who was ready to retreat, was stunned. However, He Fei smiled as if he didn't see Manager Liu's astonished expression, and then explained the problem non-stop: "There is one more thing that I hope Manager Liu can tell me. Before we Have any other guests checked in before? Well, there was a group of men and women about the same number as us, and they seemed to be foreign faces."
Yes, knowing that this mission is a team mode, He Fei naturally cannot forget or even ignore a more important point, that is, in addition to his own team, this curse has also added other teams, the sixth executioner of Cursed Space The team is part of the execution team of Indo Civilization!
In addition, the curse set the mission location at a hotel. If the guess is correct, these people will definitely come to stay here.
However……
"A group of men and women that are about the same number as you? Are they all foreign faces? No? From the time I went to work in the morning until now, I have never received a group of foreign guests, let alone a group of foreign guests. I have not even received a single one." Did you see it?" Seeing that this question was quite strange, Manager Liu on the other side was completely confused, so he touched his head and shook his head blankly while answering truthfully. As for He Fei...
What! ?
He Fei was dumbfounded. Not only was he dumbfounded, but the other executors standing around him were also stunned after hearing Manager Liu's answer! At this moment, except for the four newcomers who were at a loss and Kong Ling who was just playing, all the old team members were surprised and confused. He Fei opened his eyes slightly, Zhao Ping frowned slightly, Peng Hu, Cheng Ying, Chen Xiaoyao, Li Tianheng, Chen Shuihong and Tang Meng Everyone looked shocked. It was not their fault for reacting this way, but they really did not expect that there were no foreigners in the hotel. Didn't they say that there were two execution teams for this mission? Why are they the only ones in the store now? What about the 6th executive team, which is likely to be composed of Indians? Why not at the hotel?
Because he really couldn’t figure out what was going on, Peng Hu finally couldn’t help it anymore and threatened on the spot: “Are you sure you haven’t seen foreigners? Let me declare in advance that you must not deceive us. If you dare If you lie to us, I will make you suffer a little!"
"Ah! Don't be angry about this guest. No, I've never seen him before. Although keeping secrets for guests is a rigid rule in our industry, I don't need to keep secrets about things that haven't happened, right?" He said with a fierce face. , coupled with that tall and burly oppressive body, sure enough, seeing Peng Hu's ferocious face and bad tone, Manager Liu was immediately frightened! He hurriedly swallowed his saliva and explained carefully, perhaps because he was afraid that the other party would not believe him. After saying this, Manager Liu immediately turned back and asked the female receptionist who was watching the excitement at the front desk: "Hey, Xiao Zhang, have you ever received foreign guests before?"
"No? From the time I went to work early in the morning to now, except for a few diners who came here just to eat, there has been no guest accommodation from beginning to end. These people are the first batch of people to register for accommodation today." Seeing the direct leader looking for her, the female receptionist The member did not dare to neglect, and while shaking his head blankly, he told what he knew.
"Look, I'm not lying. Xiao Zhang has been at the front desk since morning. If she says she hasn't seen her before, she must have never seen her. If you still don't believe her, then just go to the front desk to check the accommodation registration."
Manager Liu, who was afraid of Peng Hu's ferocious appearance that really didn't look like a good person, panicked and was afraid of being beaten. It is true that the hotel also has security guards, but the problem is that there are so many people on the other side. If there is a dispute, in addition to the security guards who will be beaten, the security guards will be called. He definitely couldn't escape. As the saying goes, a good man never suffers immediate losses. In order to avoid being beaten, Manager Liu didn't care about any confidentiality rules. In the end, he even gave up his accommodation registration. Fortunately, Peng Hu was just threatening. After a while, Intimidation and threats, seeing the other party's panic reaction didn't seem like hypocrisy, but everyone chose to believe it. Believing meant believing it, but...
"Huh? It's really weird. The curse clearly said that there are two teams for this mission. Why are we the only ones in the hotel?" After seeing Manager Liu's fearful reaction that didn't look like he was lying, Peng Hu withdrew his ferocious threats. , and at the same time turned his head to look at He Fei, and He Fei also turned to look at the others. Looking back, except for the newcomers such as Kong Ling who was just playing and Gao Chengliang who was at a loss throughout the whole process, the others were all surprised. He Fei looked at Cheng Ying and shook his head slightly. Li Tianheng did the same. Chen Xiaoyao responded by shrugging his shoulders and spreading his hands. Chen Shuihong, who was afraid of being asked by He Fei by name, shook his head like a rattle. Tang Meng frowned, obviously. Thinking about the posture, as for Zhao Ping...
Perhaps because his way of thinking was different from others, when He Fei cast a questioning look, the man with glasses did not speak immediately. Instead, he took action the next moment he caught He Fei's gaze and walked towards the hotel door.
Seeing the bespectacled man walking towards the door without saying a word, everyone, including He Fei, was quite curious and subconsciously followed him to the door of the hotel. As expected, Zhao Ping stopped. He just stood by the door and did not go out at all. Meaning, it also made some of the executors who were suddenly nervous and ready to pull people in at any time feel a little relieved. As for what the bespectacled man was going to do when he came to the door?
The answer is simple, that is, look. He was just looking around the street outside the door in silence. It felt very strange. Fortunately, the senior people all knew Zhao Ping's character, so they didn't ask about Q8. They just stood beside him with suspicion. At this point, he accompanied the man to watch the street for a while. Finally, Zhao Ping spoke. After raising his hand to adjust his glasses on the bridge of his nose, he slowly turned around and said a very simple common word to everyone: " time."
"Huh? Time? What do you mean?" Seeing that Zhao Ping was silent for a long time, he only said two words. On the opposite side, everyone who was already suspicious became more suspicious, and Cheng Ying also asked casually for the first time, and the result was as expected. Different from He Fei, who is used to being straightforward, the bespectacled man's characteristic of feeling uncomfortable even if he doesn't show off again: "It means the time is different."
"Holy crap! Zhao Ping, you kid is doing this again. If you don't show off, you'll die, right? Is it so difficult to point the finger directly at you?"
Everyone collapsed and went crazy after hearing the bespectacled man's still calm and incomprehensible answer. Almost everyone was so angry that they felt so angry that they wanted to kick the bespectacled man out of the door. Then let the rules wipe it out instantly. It's a pity that these are just thoughts. In reality, they don't dare to offend the seemingly gentle guy in front of them. They don't even dare to complain. Only Peng Hu expressed his dissatisfaction for everyone.
But the strange thing is...
Faced with Peng Hu's almost crazy angry questioning, Zhao Ping showed no emotion at all. Later, he responded to Peng Hu in a rhetorical tone: "Make it clear? Have I made it clear? The answer is what I just said. , the time is different.”
