Before going downstairs, I was very sure, but now, I really don't know.
I clearly remember that the lobby was as bright as day at that time, and the front desk stood there communicating with me for a long time. Everything was so real, how could it be fake?
When Wu Tinghan saw that I was silent, he took out his cell phone and dialed the number on the cashier's counter. After a few words, the receptionist came downstairs wearing pajamas and asked us what was going on.
Let me tell you, at around twelve o'clock, a little closer, I will come down and ask you for the room card of 417. Do you still remember it?
She frowned and looked me up and down, and said in a panic, "Don't talk like this at night, black man. I went upstairs with her after ten o'clock, and I haven't woken up until now. When will you ask me for something?" Pass room card? Are you afraid that you haven't woken up from a dream?
I can't believe that the person who said so much to me is lying. My mind is spinning very fast at this moment. Let me tell you, if you have surveillance, just adjust the surveillance and see.
The front desk was obviously not very happy, but seeing that I was so determined, he had no choice but to walk into the cashier, enter the password, and bring up the lobby surveillance from twelve o'clock to one o'clock.
In the video, the picture is very dark, with only the desk lamp at the cashier giving off a faint light.
The lobby was empty until half past twelve when the elevator door opened. Then I walked out slowly and stood in front of the cashier, talking to myself at the empty front desk.
After talking for a while, I saw that I walked to the center of the lobby, facing the door, and then stood like that, motionless...
The front desk didn't lie. In the dark scene, I was the only one from beginning to end!
After seeing this video, I was almost scared to death, but the front desk said coldly, "Really, I almost got blackmailed to death by you, you don't even know you have sleepwalking?"
I didn’t know how to refute it, after all, I had never heard my roommate say that I had sleepwalking before.
Besides, how do you explain the knock on the door? Not only did I hear it, Wu Tinghan also heard it.
Let me tell you, look at the surveillance in the corridor on the fourth floor.
The receptionist looked at me angrily, then operated the screen, only to find that the screen was completely dark.
She was confused and muttered to herself, it was fine during the day, but bad at night?
I glanced at Wu Tinghan and saw her shaking her head, so I didn't say anything more. Instead, I dismissed the receptionist and followed her to the fourth floor.
Looking at the dim corridor, the fear that had dissipated before came back again. I didn’t believe in the explanation that I had sleepwalking, so I told Wu Tinghan that I had never had sleepwalking before.
She nodded and said, have you ever heard of "Ghost Confused"?
This is an idiom, and I naturally know that the original meaning is to be confused by ghosts and ghosts, but now most people use its extended meaning to refer to a unclear understanding of the problem.
She said what I meant.
Let me tell you, so everything I saw was fake?
She asked, otherwise?
Let me tell you, what about the knock on the door, is it also fake?
She snorted coldly and then said, "I hope it's false."
I asked, what do you mean?
She didn't answer, but asked me to open the door, then entered the room with me, sat directly on the chair, and told me, just pretend that I don't exist and it's time to sleep. If you hear a knock on the door, tell me immediately. I want to see who dares to play this trick in front of me.
I really wanted to be a gentleman and say, 'Why don't you go to bed first and I'll watch over you', but I knew that I didn't have the ability to be a gentleman, because when the knock on the door rang, I didn't know how to deal with it.
All I can do is try not to cause her any trouble and do as she asks, which is a big help.
It's just that I can't do it now, so I can only lie on the bed and pretend to be asleep, trying my best to create the feeling that I have fallen asleep.
But I pretended to sleep like this for more than half an hour, and nothing happened quietly outside the door.
I was afraid that Wu Tinghan would sit like this all night, so I whispered to her, why don't you go back to sleep? It was just a knock on the door anyway, and it didn't come in, so I just pretended not to hear it.
She snorted coldly and said, if you didn't answer the door at first, or if you didn't open the door, then the knock on the door would be fine even if it kept ringing all night, but now..., hum!
Wu Tinghan didn't finish his words, but I could tell that the matter was serious. When I contacted her before, she asked me if I answered the door when she came back. If the knock on the door became more urgent, I knew that this time the matter might be more troublesome than before.
I asked, what would happen if the door was answered or the door opened?
She turned her face sideways, looked at me, and said word by word, if you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, it will be difficult for the gods to answer the door.
What...what do you mean?
Although I have already guessed a little bit, I still want a more certain answer.
She said that it is not scary when a ghost knocks on the door, but what is scary is when the person in the house answers the door or opens the door. In that case, after ten knocks on the door, even if the gods come, they will not be able to save him.
Although I was a little mentally prepared, after hearing Wu Tinghan's explanation, I still felt that my whole body was cold while lying on the bed.
From the beginning to now, there have been three knocks on the door. Wouldn’t it only take seven more knocks and I would be dead?
Wu Tinghan heard this and said to me coldly, so you still think this knock on the door is nothing?
I was almost scared to death, how could I dare to say that it didn't matter? There is only one thought in my mind, and that is, why is this happening? It was just a knock on the door, why did it end up like this?
Could it be that if you hear a knock on the door at night, you can't answer it or open the door?
If that were the case, wouldn't the world be in chaos?
Wu Tinghan said, think about it carefully, if it were your grandfather and someone knocked on the door at night, what would he do before opening the door?
I continued thinking along Wu Tinghan's train of thought, and soon came up with the idea that my grandfather would first ask who was knocking on the door, and then open the door.
Wu Tinghan said, not only your grandfather, but almost everyone will ask who it is before opening the door. This is the most basic safety knowledge, do you still need someone to teach you?
I was so ashamed that it wasn’t that I didn’t have this common sense, but that I had basically never lived alone. When I was in my hometown, I lived with my grandfather, and when I was in school, I lived with my classmates. It was never my turn to open the door, so I naturally didn’t use this common sense.
To put it bluntly, I did think it was you, Wu Tinghan, who knocked on the door. I already knew that, so why did I ask? Just like when you order takeout and it knocks on the door, do you also ask who you are?
Who would notice these details and think about this?
Wu Tinghan said, "You are a vicious person. If I don't mess with you on these details, will I still have an open and fair duel with you under the sun?"
After listening to Wu Tinghan's words, I finally understood why Mr. Wang and Wu Tinghan can be so delicate and clever in their minds. It's not that they are born like this, but that they have been honed naturally after dealing with Yin people a lot. This is what it looks like.
There is no such thing as genius in the world, they are all forced to become what they are now by life.
And I also understand that compared with them, there is still a big gap between me and them, not to mention craftsmanship, even in simple life and work.
Wu Tinghan suddenly said, "You have never dealt with Yin people and don't know their methods. It is inevitable that you will suffer losses and be deceived." If other ordinary people were in your position, they might not do better than you. Craftsmen have come this way, so it would be nice to have a little more time.
I felt refreshed after hearing this and asked her, "So, you are often fooled?"
Wu Tinghan shook his head calmly and said, as long as he is not with you and Luo Xiaoyang before he learned craftsmanship, there is basically no chance.
When I heard this, I couldn't help but twitch the corner of my mouth. After giving a wry smile, I asked her, "What should we do now?"
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a "dong dong dong" sound suddenly sounded!
I glanced at Wu Tinghan and found that she didn't seem to hear, so I quickly pointed at the door. When she saw this, her whole body shot out like an arrow from the string. She appeared at the door in the blink of an eye, and then opened the door and ducked out. .
After a while, she came back, shook her head at me and said, there was nothing.
This is the fourth time. Six more times and I'm done.
The most important thing is that even Wu Tinghan couldn't find the guy knocking on the door. I felt that my life might really be in danger this time.
Let me tell you, can't you hear the knock on the door?
She shook her head and said, this is your knock on the door. As long as it doesn't want to, I won't hear it anyway.
After saying that, Wu Tinghan looked at the time, and then told me that this was not going to work, the efficiency was too low, and this guy had to be dealt with here, otherwise, he would be at a loss when he entered the village.
I know what she means. If I don't solve this problem, she will have to stay by my side after entering the village. Then how can she deal with the old carpenter?
Let me tell you, when you are here, it doesn't seem to dare to knock on the door.
Wu Tinghan said, I know, so I plan to go to the opposite side and stare through the peephole.
I speak, but you can't hear the sound, how do you know it's knocking? Do I shout to you?
She shook her head and said, "No need. I keep watching. As long as it dares to knock on the door, I can see it." Just like before, you should sleep and act like nothing happened.
After saying that, she walked to the other side resolutely and closed the door with a bang.
After Wu Tinghan left, I was alone in the room again. Even though I knew Wu Tinghan was staring across from me, the feeling of emptiness still sent a chill through my body.
I really wanted to go to bed and lie down, but when I thought about someone knocking on the door at any time, the string in my head tightened and I didn't feel sleepy at all.
But Wu Tinghan told me, so I could only do it. So I lay on the bed like this, tossing and turning for more than half an hour, but couldn't fall asleep.
The most important thing is that there was no knock on the door. If this continues, Wu Tinghan will be exhausted.
So I got out of bed and tiptoed to the door, trying to see what was going on outside through the peephole.
When I moved my eyes closer, the dim light outside the corridor hit my face, which made me stunned for a moment - wasn't it all red before? Why can I see outside now?
And when I put my eyes completely on the door opening, the scene on the other side of the door made my whole body feel like I had fallen into an ice cellar!
Through the peephole door, I saw a red coat hanging upside down from the ceiling across the corridor. Most of its body was attached to the ceiling, with only a small part of its upper body hanging down, close to the door...
Its long hair covered most of the door panel. At this time, it was shaking its head back and forth, knocking on the door opposite, and the sound of 'dong dong dong' was endless...
And when I looked over, the guy seemed to have noticed my gaze, and his head suddenly turned 180 degrees, turned straight over, then stared at me, grinned at me and yelled: "You have to pay for it." my eyes!"
When I saw its eyes, one black and one red, my whole scalp was about to explode!
Because I discovered that the position of its red eye happened to be the location of the cat's eye door!
In other words, the thing I saw first that was black and then red was not a one-way mirror at all, but its eyes!
When I was lying on the cat's eye door looking out, it was hanging upside down outside the door and leaning against the door to look in. There was only one door between my eyes and its eyes!
The most horrifying thing was that after I poked its eyes with a clothes hanger and the blood started to bleed, I actually stared at its bleeding eyes for more than ten minutes!
