Chapter 5 The First Night
After lunch, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
Lunch is sliced bread sealed in a bag, with a different flavor at most, and can only be swallowed with water.
After confirming that there was a supernatural presence in this hotel, the principle of "loneliest people must die" prevented them from acting alone.
Wei Miao opened the curtains in the room, and the sunlight that fell was warm and bright, dispelling the coldness of the room.
Around 2 p.m., Bude organized another search, this time searching the second floor.
The second floor is the functional area, where the restaurant, laundry room, etc. are located. There are more sundries and it takes time and effort to search.
After getting no results, the time came to around five o'clock. After dinner, a few people gathered on the third floor.
However, only four of their rooms on the third floor could be opened, and the rest of the rooms were locked, with darkness leaking from the cracks in the doors. Therefore, after looking left and right, Bude admitted that this floor was not worth searching.
The four of them arrived on the fourth floor, where the situation was slightly different.
There are the same thirteen rooms, but the key card of each room is directly inserted into the groove, so they can easily enter the room to explore.
Wei Miao entered 401, fumbled with her right hand to turn on the light, and saw that the layout was the same as her room, nothing more ordinary.
Then why is the room on the third floor locked? Is there some ulterior secret hidden in it?
They searched all thirteen rooms until nine o'clock in the evening.
Wei Miao found blood stains and even some suspicious dried minced meat in some hidden corners of multiple rooms. She looked at them silently for a few times, then turned and left.
"Searching like this is just a waste of time and effort. There are no clues at all." Anderson said harshly. He searched very hard but found nothing, which made him a little annoyed.
Bude consoled him, "We've only reached the fourth floor. Even if those who took us out of prison want to play games, we will still be able to give some clues. If we act earlier, we will have more initiative."
Edith said, "I'm tired and want to go to bed early."
She stretched out, revealing her hot figure.
Anderson yelled, "I agree! I'm tired too."
Wei Miao was also a little tired, but she didn't show it, but looked at Bude.
Now it seems that this is the only reliable person. She just needs to remain silent, observe from the sidelines, and let him come forward.
Bude looked at the two of them helplessly: "Okay then, rest early, recuperate, and check again tomorrow."
Wei Miao nodded to him with a smile and returned to her room.
It's a bit too early to go to bed after nine o'clock. As for taking a bath... this may not be something she can touch.
There was also a TV in the room. Wei Miao found the remote control and tried to turn it on.
Accompanied by the chirpy startup music, the TV's LCD screen actually lit up, apparently broadcasting the evening news. The female host's expression was serious and pitiful.
"News from this station: At 6:14 this evening, a large-scale supernatural incident occurred in the Bangshan Garden Community of Litai Mansion, Yuexiang City, Sudelai Prefecture. All more than 3,000 people living in the community were killed. The Spirit Exorcist Society is deploying additional manpower "
In the picture shown, the entire high-end community was lifeless. At the entrance, there were a few gloomy-looking people carrying various equipment and entering in teams. Guards set up a cordon dozens of meters away. Ambulances and fire trucks were parked not far away, and several reporters were surrounding them, with cameras pointed at the community.
Wei Miao keenly captured the key information points: except Lingshe, Ling, and A-level risk areas.
Based on the introduction, it seems that the Spirit Exorcist Society is the organization where the spirit exorcists work. Ghosts are called "spirits" here, and areas where supernatural events have occurred are classified into different levels of risk areas. Moreover, supernatural events are open to the whole society, and ordinary people can only live passively and bear the risks of supernatural beings.
Wei Miao continued to watch, but what followed was some ordinary social news. About fifteen minutes later, another supernatural event was broadcast.
"News from our station: The strange and paranormal incident that occurred at Luther Zoo on June 4 was solved yesterday by the local spirit removal society. The families of the victims were extremely excited, saying that the victims could finally rest in peace and hoped that the pain and supernatural beings would stay away from them. "
The ghosts in the strange and paranormal incidents seem to be different from spirits. In the picture, the zoo is in a mess as if it has been run over by a large truck. The trees are crooked, the fences are twisted, and there are traces of violent destruction everywhere. Even some blood stains on the ground have not been cleaned up. .
Wei Miao sat on the bed, watching TV with an expressionless face, fully understanding the outside world. I have to say that the world view of "Masquerade" is very complete, almost like a real world.
The world here is similar to Blue Star, but there is only one continent, and two countries divide the continent into two. The country they are in now is called Lanche, and its structure is similar to that of the Federation. The other country is called Teng Yu. The two compete with each other, but when it comes to supernatural incidents, both have set up spirit-removing societies as processing agencies to work together.
Rancher's daily entertainment is not weakened by the supernatural. Instead, it has a bit of "entertaining to death" flavor. There is even a singing program called "Jini Taimei". The venue is similar to a basketball court and it is mainly funny.
Wei Miao glanced at the time. The short hand was almost pointing to twelve o'clock.
She got up and turned off the light, went to bed in the dark, and slept in her clothes.
Sinking into the soft bed quilt, Wei Miao instantly felt sleepy, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
"Dong-dong-dong-"
Suddenly, a series of strange sounds woke Wei Miao up.
She knew her bed and slept lightly in a strange place. Because the door was soundproofed, the sound was not loud, but she woke up immediately.
She remained motionless in her sleeping position, and pricked up her ears to identify carefully.
The sound seemed to come from the corridor, very regular, like... footsteps.
But it was not like the crisp clapping sound of ordinary shoes stepping on the ground, but a dull sound.
Wei Miao thought about it and felt that it was like the sound of barefoot walking. Who would wander around barefoot so late?
The sound came from far to near, and then from near to far, repeating several times, constantly echoing in the corridor.
Now Wei Miao was sure that this was definitely not a person. Let's not talk about whether the other three players had the courage to go out at this time. Even if they went out, which lunatic would walk back and forth in the corridor?
Suddenly, the footsteps stopped.
Stopped in front of her door.
"Squeak--squeak--wow--"
Another strange noise, it sounded like the door handle was pushed down and the door was pushed open.
But the door was automatically locked, so it shouldn't be opened without a room card! And now the room card was in her pocket!
And she clearly remembered that the door of this room was silent when pushed and pulled!
