infinite danger

Chapter 2 Other "Tenants"

Another door opened.

The soundproofing of the room was not good, Ji Siwei leaned against the door and could clearly hear their conversation.

"what happened?"

With a calm tone and a gentle attitude, this is Chenyu's voice.

"Something is staring at me."

"Just hide in my room!"

"I can feel that as long as I turn my back, there will be a pair of eyes staring at me!"

The voice distorted because of fear, the speaker was the man with the cropped head.

"Keep your voice down, the boss said that he doesn't want us to disturb her family."

"We share the same room, I don't see anything else."

"Besides, you don't have eyes behind your back, so how do you know that something is looking at you when you turn around?"

The tall man's tone was somewhat dissatisfied.

"Really, as long as I stay in the room, I feel cold on my back, as if...something is going to climb up..."

"If you help me find out, you will know that I am not lying!"

Cun Tou was afraid that they might not believe it, so he tried to explain.

"Find it yourself, we're going to sleep."

Ji Cheng said coldly.

"There are still two hours...help him find it, otherwise no one will be able to sleep."

Chen Yu pondered for a moment and made a decision.

When Ji Siwei heard this, he looked at the clock on the wall, it was exactly ten o'clock in the evening.

The boss said that no one should open the door after twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and now Chenyu emphasized that "there are still two hours." Obviously, the most dangerous time is after midnight.

If what Bunny said was true, then there must be a dangerous factor in his room.

Chenyu agreed to help him, maybe because he wanted to get rid of this dangerous factor before midnight.

There are so many mysteries here, Ji Siwei can only sort out the information he has.

"Let's find it together."

Another door opened, and the cheongsam woman yawned and said lazily.

After hearing the voice of the cheongsam woman, Ji Siwei decisively opened the door and joined them.

Right now, only by taking the initiative to participate in can we grasp more useful information.

The lights in the corridor were dim, and seven people stood in front of the door, looking a little "lively".

"Yo, you want to help too?"

Ji Cheng, who was leaning on the door frame with his hands folded, raised his eyebrows at Ji Siwei, and his tone was not very friendly.

Ji Siwei ignored Ji Cheng's cynicism, looked forward with clear eyes, and silently memorized the corresponding room numbers of each person.

The cheongsam woman lives in Room 2 which is the closest to the living room, Cun Tou lives in Room 3, and Chenyu lives in Room 6.

The room couldn't hold so many people, so it was finally decided to let Chen Yu and the cheongsam woman enter Room 3 to help check the inch.

I searched through boxes and boxes, but found nothing.

"Nothing."

"Don't think too much, scare yourself."

Chen Yu took out a handkerchief, wiped the dust on his hands, and comforted Cun Tou with a gentle voice.

"Sorry, maybe because I'm too nervous, I'm restless, and everything is in danger."

After tossing for a long time, Cun Tou has calmed down, folded his hands together, bent down to apologize to everyone.

"Wait a moment."

"Which one of you opened the letter?"

Just when everyone was about to leave, Ji Siwei who had been staying outside the door pointed to the opened envelope on the coffee table and asked softly.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone stopped and looked at the pink envelope together.

Only Ah Ming stared at Ji Siwei's wrist intently. A red rope was tied to his wrist with sharp knuckles, and a copper coin was wrapped around the rope.

Before Ji Siwei retracted his hand, Ah Ming quickly shifted his gaze to the coffee table.

The envelope was torn open, and the crumpled letter paper and a red rose were lying on the side. If Ji Siwei didn't tell, no one would find this detail.

"I'm not interested in these pink and tender things. This guy dismantled them."

The tall man sat down on the sofa, breathed a sigh of relief, and poked the short-haired man standing aside.

"What's written in it?"

The woman in the cheongsam looked at Cun Tou with a strange look in her eyes, and moved away from the coffee table calmly.

"Hey, don't mention it, I thought it was a welcome letter prepared by the owner of the hotel for the guests, but I didn't expect it to be a prank."

Because nothing was found, Bunny's mood eased, he sat next to the tall man, and answered casually.

"There are only two sentences written on it."

"Come and find me."

"Find me and I will stay by your side forever."

"This tone is similar to that of my nephew who likes to play hide-and-seek."

"……What happen to you guys?"

Cun Tou looked at the two people who retreated to the corridor tacitly, his eyes were full of puzzlement.

For a while, no one spoke, only the whirring sound of the air vent of the air conditioner.

"It's nothing, since you haven't found anything, you should rest early."

Chenyu lowered his eyes, wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead, with an unnatural expression.

Ji Cheng and the cheongsam woman went back to the room without saying a word.

"Don't open it, drawer."

Ah Ming suddenly walked to Ji Siwei's side, bent slightly, lowered his voice to remind, and left without waiting for Ji Siwei's response.

Ji Siwei was confused, and when he was about to go back to his room, he saw something flashing past the window of Room 3.

Before he could say anything, Cun Tou slammed the door shut.

……

"You turn up the air conditioner, I feel a little cold."

The tall man straightened the messy bed and suddenly shivered.

"It's already adjusted to 26°C. Maybe the air conditioner is malfunctioning. I just turned it off."

"I just broke out in a cold sweat from being frightened, and I'm going to take a shower."

Cun Tou picked up the remote control, turned off the air conditioner, and went into the bathroom.

The warm water was evenly sprinkled on the skin, and the fatigue was relieved. Cun Tou sighed, scooped up a handful of water with both hands and rubbed his face.

The moment he opened his eyes, that creepy sense of voyeurism reappeared strongly.

The bathroom was filled with warm water vapor, but he felt that his whole body was frozen in place, his whole body was icy cold, like falling into an ice cellar.

"Who?!"

"Who is it? Come out!"

Cun Tou turned off the shower, turned his head with difficulty, and looked at the not-so-spacious bathroom.

Nothing at all.

"Relax and relax."

"I just looked for it, and there is really nothing."

"Maybe my nerves are too tense to have an illusion."

Cun Tou patted his face, murmured in a low voice, hurriedly wiped off the water drops, put on his bathrobe, and planned to dry his hair.

Picking up the hair dryer, Cuntou raised his hand to dry the fog on the mirror.

"what!!"

"This face, this face is not mine!"

His pupils dilated, he looked at "self" in the mirror in horror, and the strange face in the mirror also made a frightened expression, and moved back in unison.

Because he was too scared, the soles of his feet slipped when he retreated, and Cuntou fell straight back, hitting the back of his head on the door, making a loud noise.

"what happened to you?"

The movement startled the tall man sitting on the sofa.

"This face is not mine!"

The bathroom door opened, and the limp Cun Tou stood up tremblingly holding the door frame, pointed to his face, and said in a trembling voice.

Suddenly remembered something, Bunny rolled up his bathrobe and looked at his arms.

"The birthmark on my hand is still there, and the hairstyle is the same, but the face is different!"

Cun Tou stretched out his arm, showing the tall man the black birthmark on it.

"Don't panic."

"Actually...my face doesn't look like this either."

"I found out when I accidentally looked in the mirror, but I didn't say anything. I thought I was the only one."

"Now it seems that everyone who comes here looks different from themselves in the real world."

"Go and ask other people when you wake up tomorrow."

The tall man was not surprised, he held his shoulders and spoke in a very soft voice.

"I want to digest this matter, it's really... so scary."

Hearing the tall man's words, the chill in Cun Tou's chest subsided a little, leaned on the tall man, and limped towards the sofa.

The images of the two people were clearly reflected in the mirror. The taller one kept moving from the back, while the one with the short-shaved head was the front face. It pressed its hands on the glass and looked into the room with a grinning grin.

……

Ji Siwei locked the door, tapped the armrest of the wheelchair with his slender fingers, and organized his thoughts in an orderly manner.

After knowing the content of the letter, the reactions of those few people were a little strange.

The girl named Ah Ming reminded him not to open the drawer alone.

Although it is unclear why Ah Ming reminded him, it can be inferred that letters and drawers are taboos that cannot be touched.

The thing that just flashed across the glass of Room 3 is definitely not simple, and it is best not to approach reflective objects such as mirrors and windows.

Picking up a baseball bat, Ji Siwei found a place farthest from the coffee table, door, and window, preparing to survive the long night.

For the next hour or so, everything was quiet.

But a few minutes before midnight, something unexpected happened.

A long piano sound came from nowhere, breaking the dead silence that enveloped the hotel.

The artistic conception of the sound of the piano is very good. If you listen carefully, you can feel the melancholy mood of the player.

There is indeed a piano in the living room, is someone playing the piano in the living room?

Definitely not any of the seven of them, could it be the owner of the homestay?

Ji Siwei quickly denied this answer. The boss didn't even step out of the room when there was such a commotion just now, so it is impossible to come out to play the piano late at night—unless she is a lunatic.

Or, there are other "tenants" here.

Ji Siwei was taken aback by the thought that popped into his mind, and subconsciously clenched his baseball bat tightly.

The pointer points to twelve o'clock, and the resentment and negative emotions in the sound of the piano are getting heavier and heavier. The notes seem to be transformed into countless wires, which penetrate into the head through the ears and stir violently.

At this time, Ji Siwei realized that there was something wrong with the sound of the piano, and quickly covered his ears, but it was too late.

The resentful sound of the piano has been deeply imprinted in his mind, and he can't get rid of it.

The lights in the room began to flicker violently, the eyelids became heavier and heavier, the brain was dizzy, and the consciousness gradually became blurred.

In a trance, he heard the sound of high heels in the corridor.

"Tap...tap..."

The sound of heels hitting the floor tiles became more and more clear, and then stopped in front of Ji Siwei's door.

The heart was so tense that it almost stopped beating, but the body could not move, and the hand holding the baseball bat also lost strength.

"Dong dong..."

"Dong dong..."

There was a gentle knock on the door outside the house.

"Sister, are you in there?"

A low-toned female voice came from outside the door.

"Sister, are you in there?"

"Sister, are you in there?"

"Sister...give me back my heart, okay?"

With a "click", the lock opened automatically, and a red figure squeezed in through the crack of the door.
