Chapter 297: The Dead(1/2)
Jock reacted quickly. There was a dead end on the left (facing the emergency exit), but there was a lot of debris piled up in the corner.
Because the safety night light was on nearby, the light there was very dark.
He leaned against the wall to the left of the door, trying to find a chance to peek at who was coming down.
If the opponent is planning to enter this level, Jock can quickly hide himself with debris.
'coming!'
Jock held his breath and concentrated.
I saw a red figure suddenly flash across the glass window which was not very transparent.
Judging from the body shape, there is no doubt that she is a woman.
She was ready to continue going downstairs.
But just as the woman's face passed by the glass window, Jock was still very keen to see it.
‘Xiao Xi?!’
'How can this be?!'
Jock almost wanted to shout out of surprise, but he held it back.
surprise?
No!
This can even be said to be terrifying!
Because Xiaoxi is already dead!
She was a person with whom Jock had an unusual relationship in his previous life, and she influenced Jock's subsequent career.
'There is absolutely no way this is a normal world!'
The footsteps were getting farther and farther away, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he planned to follow them directly.
This is the first clue of being alive and moving that Jock has found.
Moreover, just because she looks like Xiao Xi, Jiao Ke will definitely catch up with her.
Gently pushing open the emergency exit door, he made no movement.
'Good lubrication and maintenance.'
Jock looked around and followed the footsteps downstairs.
'There is no surveillance in such a big hotel.'
'But this is probably not the real world, and anything irrational is not surprising.'
There are fire cabinets, trash cans, and a larger window in the middle of each floor.
Inside the fire cabinet are placed an axe, a white rubber hose belt and a fire extinguisher from left to right.
Jock quickly tried pulling on the glass cabinets and windows.
Can't open either.
It was still dark outside the window.
The inside of the half-human-high trash can is very clean and looks like it has just been replaced.
An oversized black garbage bag was placed inside.
‘Well... I’d better not take it.’ After hesitating, he decided to give up.
The footsteps suddenly disappeared!
Jock followed closely and caught up with him.
The woman turned into the passage on the left.
There is carpet on top.
squeak~ah~
He heard the sound of a woman pushing the door open.
This floor didn't seem to be used for travelers to stay. After the movement subsided a little, Jock came to the door.
A large, exquisitely crafted red wooden door.
After pushing the door open a gap, he saw the woman walking inside.
He is holding a bag of things in his left hand.
Inside the door is a wide hall, with a ceiling that is nearly 20 meters high.
Such a big place is covered by a red carpet, and the quality is much higher than what it looks like on the aisle.
Large round tables were placed inside, and the chairs surrounding them and the tablecloths covering them were all bright red.
Strong hometown style.
‘Is someone holding a wedding here?’ Jock guessed in his mind when he saw the layout in the hall.
The red figure was getting further and further away, and he found an opportunity to slip into the door.
So high!
so big!
What a red hall!
There are a lot of large round tables, and the distribution seems a bit crowded.
The edge of the tablecloth stretched all the way to the floor, and Jock couldn't see what was under the table.
After taking a general glance at the environment, he bowed slightly and followed.
If the woman suddenly turns her head, the table is a good cover.
'Sure enough, there are no surveillance cameras in public areas, so in such a private place, I didn't see any cameras.'
The safety index of my hometown in my previous life was very high, and the 'Eye of the Sky' became a good helper in sanctioning and preventing crimes.
This also allowed Jock to develop the habit of observing and monitoring in advance.
The almost completely red environment made him feel a little strange.
'Even if it is a festive banquet, this red color is too exaggerated.'
Not knowing what was under the blocked table, Jock chose to walk along the edge of the round tables.
The woman is slowly walking towards the shadowed corner on the opposite left, where there seems to be a door.
Just when Jock walked to the center, a hand holding a fruit knife suddenly poked out from under the table next to him!
Whoosh!
The tip of the knife stabbed directly into Jock's right ankle.
Covered by a tablecloth, it is really a good place to ambush and hide people under the table.
But Jock is so easy to be attacked by surprise.
He tapped his feet lightly, jumped up quickly, and carried the fruit knife directly through with his bare-chested and hairy hand.
Jock took advantage of the force of his fall and stepped hard!
Click!
The sound of cracking bones.
"Ah -" a man screamed from under the table.
This was particularly loud in the empty and quiet hall.
The woman in front also turned around, her face full of surprise, and she stood still, as if she was frightened.
‘Hey, there’s nothing we can do.’ Jock glanced sideways at the familiar face, then kicked away the knife that fell on the ground and pulled out the owner of the hand.
Short hair, white shirt, suit pants, casual leather shoes...
A young man who looks to be in his twenties.
His delicate appearance was distorted by pain. He was touching his broken hand and groaning on the ground.
‘Hey, hey, hey! How can such a feminine appearance have such thick body hair.’ Jiao Ke took advantage of the situation and vomited in his heart.
He looked down at the 'hairy handsome man' who was suffering from pain on the ground, and then glanced at the woman not far away.
A kind smile appeared on his face.
"This guy just wanted to stab my foot with a knife." Jock pouted at the knife on the ground.
"You pervert! You have been following my girlfriend, you are not a good person!" The man who fell on the ground endured the pain and yelled at Jock.
Speak standard Mandarin.
The woman was stunned for a moment when she heard the voice, and then quickly ran towards this side.
To be continued...
