"Why, why are you all looking at me?"
The girl in school uniform who came out of Gate 4 huddled up timidly because all five people present looked at her with piercing eyes.
"You're in the way, get out of here."
The girl with short hair was the first to speak. She was not polite at all and waved her hand to order the girls in school uniform to get out of the way.
Only then did the girl in school uniform realize that these strangers she had never met were not looking at her, but looking behind her.
She took a few steps away and then turned back. The bright red characters with blood drops on them frightened her.
Check-in instructions for tenants:
1. Your rental period is up to five days. Please leave the hotel immediately after five days. A new tenant will arrive.
2. After the sun goes down, you must return to your room and do not stay in the corridor.
3. The night outside the hotel is very beautiful, but only the corridor has windows to enjoy it.
4. The security situation near the hotel is not very good, so be sure to lock the door at night.
5. If you encounter any problems, you can consult the landlord. The landlord's words are absolutely true and trustworthy.
6. There are absolutely no supernatural legends in this hotel. Please do not spread rumors and affect the reputation of the hotel!
The stained white walls and the handwriting traced with blood are so sloppy that they can only be barely read.
"When did this appear? It wasn't there just now." Li Hua shouted.
"It should be time for everyone to open the door and come out."
Zhou Ke responded smoothly. He had been observing changes in the surrounding environment, so he knew that these lines of blood words appeared suddenly.
The word "blood" appears at this time, which naturally has a special meaning.
Since the [Ghost Golden Sheep Gate] is a gate that relies on wisdom to pass the level, then facing the only clue at the moment, every line, every word, every word must be carefully considered and must not be ignored.
"After the sun sets..."
While Zhou Ke was thinking, he walked towards the window in the corridor.
Seeing Zhou Ke's quick action, the bespectacled man, who had once or twice suppressed someone, was a little surprised.
Normally, most novices will fall into fear or confusion when they get involved in the [Gate]. The man and two women next to them, besides the strong man in a vest, are the best examples.
Even if he has some knowledge, he will still feel timid.
Because in this [door], it is really difficult for his truth to work.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Ke was so calm and composed. Could it be that he is a genius who has awakened to the rare truth?
Outside the window, the sun rises brightly, dispelling the evil mould, and bringing irreplaceable warmth and comfort to people's souls.
The bright light shone directly on Zhou Ke, covering him with a layer of holy clothes. The man with glasses was stunned for a moment.
"It's broken." Zhou Ke suddenly said, attracting everyone's attention.
The man with glasses looked forward to it even more eagerly and asked quickly: "Did you find anything?"
"Hmm... I seem to have forgotten to hang the clothes." Zhou Ke said thoughtfully.
"...."
The man with glasses covered his face and was speechless.
Well, he made a mistake, this guy just has a bad brain.
"Let's go to the dead room first."
After Zhou Ke's interference, the bespectacled man unexpectedly calmed down and began to give instructions.
Although his teammates are all useless guys, he doesn't plan to sit still and wait for death.
You must find a way to survive, even if it means... sacrificing other people.
"Agree."
Zhou Ke took his hands away from the window. He confirmed that it was impossible to escape by jumping out of the window.
Not to mention that you can't see the ground from here, even the windows are covered by an unknown invisible barrier. The texture is like a magic shield in many fantasy worldviews. It cannot be opened or destroyed at all.
Zhou Ke silently followed the crowd into Room 1. With his height advantage, he saw the headless corpse lying at the entrance.
The flesh on the neck is uneven. Just looking at it can make people imagine the bloody scene of the doorbell ghost twisting the head and forcibly cutting it off.
"It's so miserable..." Li Hua couldn't bear to shake his head. The other party was wearing the uniform of Guangcheng No. 1 Middle School and was their classmate.
But now he died tragically, his head was missing, and he couldn't even identify who it was.
"The death process is too fast and there is no time to struggle. Once caught, death is almost certain." The man with glasses looked at the corpse, his face became increasingly ugly.
"It's true."
At this moment, the short-haired woman who glanced at the body and walked away attracted attention.
She opened the door lightly and pointed at the door handle with her slender fingers: "This door does not have a lock function. No matter who it is, it can be opened."
"The fourth notice on the wall outside [4. The public security near the hotel is not very good, be sure to lock the door at night] should reflect this rule."
“If we don’t lock the door at night, the evil spirits who ring the doorbell will come to us.”
What the short-haired woman said was easy to understand and well-founded, and it quickly resonated with everyone.
"That makes sense!"
"No wonder last night, when the female ghost pulled the doorknob, the door opened immediately. I thought it was some kind of supernatural power, but it turned out that the door was unlocked."
Li Hua suddenly understood and punched his palms. He wanted to laugh but was afraid of being too immoral and grimaced: "This guy is too unlucky. He was assigned to a room where he must die."
The walls that separate each room are paved with stainless steel. Through the reflection, everyone was lucky enough to witness the horrifying scene last night, but the angle and clarity were slightly different.
Li Hua's words brought back some not-so-good memories. Thinking about it carefully, all the performances last night seemed to be in line with what the short-haired woman said.
Everyone was vaguely convinced, and secretly determined to strengthen their own doors when they went back later.
Only Zhou Ke didn't have this idea. He tilted his chin in thought.
"It can't be because the door is not locked."
To be honest, when he first saw [4. The public security near the hotel is not very good, be sure to lock the door at night], he thought of the short-haired woman's current reasoning.
But after revealing that Room 1 had no door lock, he rejected this hypothesis.
The [Ghost Golden Sheep Gate] was broken through with wisdom, but due to bad luck, he was assigned to an unlocked room and died immediately.
This method of death is just a game of luck and goes against wisdom. After all, the people in Room 1 don't even have a chance to show their wisdom.
Taking this as a counterexample, the deceased in Room 1 must have violated other rules and died.
Then here comes the problem.
What exactly are the rules?
Zhou Ke twitched his chin and looked up at the wall of Room 1. The check-in instructions were written on them, which were consistent with the corridor outside.
"It's so interesting. They are all good inspirations for writing fairy tales!" The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a mystery hidden in it. Zhou Ke couldn't help but grinned strangely.
The laughter that covered the mouth was very small, no more than a slight cough. Most people were observing the scene. Except for the girl in school uniform who stood back because of fear, no one saw this scene.
The girl in school uniform didn't dare to say anything when she saw it. She took two steps back warily, her eyes seeming to say: "Pervert, don't come near me!"
She obviously didn't pay attention to her feet when she took two steps back. By chance, she stepped on the corpse's arm and fell down with a scream.
The girl in school uniform fell on her butt, and everyone wanted to laugh but couldn't.
"Huh? What is this?"
Li Hua, always enthusiastic, was about to reach out and pull the girl in school uniform when he suddenly saw something slipping out of the corpse's hand. He subconsciously let go to pick it up, causing the girl in school uniform to fall back again.
"Come and look, it's a piece of paper with writing on it!"
People heard the sound and gathered around to read the short sentence on the paper:
【4.What is the first thing you do when you wake up every day? 】
Unlike the concise and concise house rules, this is a vague question, which means that the information is unclear and may contain a puzzle element.
"The first thing you do when you wake up every day... brush your teeth and wash your face?"
"Turn off the alarm?"
"Making up homework?"
Everyone has a different answer, but none of them has anything to do with the current situation.
After a while, everyone couldn't find any other clues and left Room 1, which smelled heavily of rust.
When they returned to the corridor, the sky outside the window was almost dusk...wait, dusk?
Zhou Ke immediately realized something was wrong.
Immediately afterwards, the short-haired woman noticed it for the second time. She widened her eyes and shouted in an unbelievable tone:
"No! There's something wrong with the sun!"
Upon hearing this, the man with glasses hurried to the window, "We can't enter Room 1 for more than two hours at most. How can we go from early morning to sunset in such a short time?!"
"It's not that the sun is wrong, it's that the flow of time is wrong." Zhou Ke sighed and said.
Mr. Zhou is an energy-saving person who prefers not to talk if he can, and not to work if he can not, which is what everyone commonly calls - a lazy person.
However, the current situation does not allow him to continue fishing. If he does not provide some decent help, all of his good teammates will die.
When the time comes, he will be left alone, and this game of "Death is knocking on the door" will become unplayable.
“By the way, when we came out, I found that the door to everyone’s room had been closed.
And according to my visual observation of the westward traveling speed of the sun, we will have a [beautiful evening] in less than twenty minutes. "
