Chapter 6 Five people?
Room 204.
"Ring, ring, ring -" the rapid ringing of the bell rang at the door. Zhao Qingbei looked over and saw that the brass bell hung on the handle automatically moved without wind, and made a crazy sound, and finally broke into pieces and disappeared on the spot.
The knock on the door rang at the same time as the bell, and then the voice of the hotel owner came from outside, "Young man, your friends are waiting for you to eat downstairs, come out quickly!"
He didn't seem to hear the crazy ringtone.
A strong sense of hunger instantly swept through Zhao Qingbei.
He did not dare to approach the door, but picked up a stool on the ground as a self-defense tool. He asked, "Who is there?"
"Look at this, I don't know them either. Anyway, they are one man and two women. They are waiting for you below!" the hotel owner said with a smile.
"Then tell them that I'm not feeling well and won't go."
"Then let me serve it to you!" the boss said kindly.
"No need." Zhao Qingbei refused directly. The hotel owner didn't say anything, and the footsteps gradually faded away.
He breathed a sigh of relief and put down the stool. Although physical attacks may not be effective in this weird game, it is always reassuring to have something in hand.
The bell just now was his one-time prop. It could be used once per game and would disappear automatically after three games. This was his third game, and he also used this prop to escape death twice.
The function of the prop is an early warning, that is, if there is danger, the bell will sound like crazy. If nothing happens today, the bell can still be used next time, but now it has disappeared.
This is the first day of the game. Is it so dangerous on the first day?
And now that he has no props, he doesn't know how to spend the next two days.
Zhao Qingbei turned on the light and sat on the bed leaning against the wall.
As time passed, the incandescent lights in the room suddenly flickered, darkness and light alternated, which was even more frightening than total darkness.
Zhao Qingbei looked around cautiously until there was a pop and the lights went out completely.
"Where is my body?" an old voice suddenly came.
Zhao Qingbei was frightened and immediately looked at the source of the sound. It was the fake potted plant placed on his windowsill!
When did it become an old man’s head?!
The old man's head slowly flew up and kept approaching him, "Where is my body? Good Samaritan, can you help me find my body?"
Zhao Qingbei kept backing up. When his hands touched the quilt, he immediately pulled the quilt and threw it on his head.
The quilt stopped in mid-air in the shape of a bell.
"Dong...dong..." The hollow knock on the door sounded particularly harsh in the quiet room.
Zhao Qingbei's nerves were very sensitive at the moment. He quickly turned to look at the door. Who was knocking on the door?
The quilt covering the old man's head flew towards the window at this moment.
The knocking on the door gradually became very fast, and the dense sound seemed to resonate with his heart.
Zhao Qingbei remembered the task prompt and thought of something in the flash of lightning, so he hugged the quilt and went over to open the door.
He saw a headless corpse standing at the door, with his hand still in the posture of knocking on the door. Zhao Qingbei swallowed, took his head out of the quilt, and placed it respectfully on the hand of the headless corpse.
Then he watched the corpse go away, and he exhaled a breath, finally, he survived.
…
Room 205.
Song Nannan was lying behind the door, her ear pressed against the door, listening carefully. After hearing the footsteps gradually leaving, she straightened up.
How could she have survived three games if she hadn't been more vigilant.
Song Nannan looked around this small room. There must be clues in this room, so let's find them!
"Eh?" Song Nannan pulled out a torn newspaper from under the mattress.
…
In Room 201, Shen Hui wanted to open the door and take a look, but there was nothing he could do.
He was a little worried, because he had said before that he would go out to discuss it after returning to the house to clean up. What if those people really went out?
Shen Hui was a little restless in the room, but he didn't dare to let him out now.
He skillfully put his hand into his clothes, but found that there was no cigarette in the clothes at all, so he gave up the idea of smoking and sat on the bed shaking his legs continuously.
I don't know how long it took, but there was another knock on the door.
…
Room 304, empty.
…
Room 301.
Zhang Jianguo did not open the door, but continued to smoke. The pack of cigarettes was empty at first sight, and the room was full of second-hand smoke. The lights were turned off, and he was in the smoke, so he was vaguely invisible.
The dangling figure outside the door wandered around the door of his room and then left.
——
Pei Shiqing opened her eyes, and she convinced herself that she could still fall asleep under such circumstances, and fell asleep twice!
She approached the door and hesitated for a while before opening it. As soon as she went out, she saw the door on the other side opened.
Zhang Jianguo walked out of it. Pei Shiqing greeted him after seeing him, and he nodded in response.
"I want to ask, do you still have your keys?" Pei Shiqing asked as he walked.
Zhang Jianguo shook his head and said, "Disappeared."
A trace of doubt flashed in Pei Shiqing's heart, why is this happening? She thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go downstairs together."
Zhang Jianguo didn't say anything, and waited until Pei Shiqing walked next to him before going downstairs with her.
"Is everyone here?" Song Nannan counted the number of people, five of them.
Shen Hui nodded, pointed at Pei Shiqing and said, "She was the last one to arrive."
Pei Shiqing was stunned for a moment. Are there only five players this time? Am I the last one to arrive?
She thought about it, and it seemed that it was indeed the case, but she felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put it in words.
"Let me tell you, it was really thrilling yesterday. A potted plant suddenly turned into an old man's head and looked at me by the window. There was also a headless corpse knocking on the door. It scared me to death!" Zhao Qingbei gestured.
As he spoke, the expression on his face was also very rich.
Song Nannan said speechlessly: "You look so polite, but why are you so nagging? You are not stable at all."
"Hey, you are just confused by my appearance." Zhao Qingbei touched his face and said.
"I also encountered it yesterday. The lamp in the room turned into an eye. I returned the eye and it was fine." Pei Shiqing said quickly.
"I also met this ghost." Song Nannan said, "But because I analyzed the game prompts, I gave it back my eyes."
"I used props to make them think I was not in the house, so I didn't know which ghost I met." Zhang Jianguo said proactively.
Shen Hui said quickly: "I met the same person as Zhao Qingbei."
Song Nannan rubbed her chin and said, "And the boss even knocked on the door and asked me to go downstairs for dinner."
Then the others nodded and said they had met him too.
"So you didn't agree?" Shen Hui said in surprise.
"Yeah, who dares to eat the free dinner?" Zhao Qingbei curled his lips, "And it's still in the game. Do you think you don't die fast enough?"
Shen Hui laughed, "That's true."
However, Zhao Qingbei took another look at Pei Shiqing and said, "I didn't expect you to be a good newcomer!"
An indescribable feeling filled Pei Shiqing's heart. She always felt that she had forgotten something, but she couldn't remember it even though she tried her best.
"Okay, why are you talking about these useless things?" Song Nannan rubbed his belly and said, "I don't dare to eat the food in this hotel. Let's first make sure that our scope of activities is only in the hotel."
With that said, she walked out of the hotel, then came back and said, "I can go out, but I don't know where the limit is. I'm going out to buy some food. After we eat together, we'll start investigating."
Pei Shiqing was still thinking about what they said just now. Currently, only the eye ghost and the headless ghost have appeared, but the third one clearly appeared on the mission prompt...
