The seventeenth floor is the door to the hotel suite.
The corridor was dark and silent.
Baili Xin put one hand on the wall and groped forward, and with the other hand he took out a flashlight from his backpack.
The little black-haired monster was flying around overhead like a headless fly, but it couldn't do anything to Baili Xin.
A bright beam of light shone into the far end of the corridor, then faded from bright to dim before being swallowed up by the darkness.
Judging from the decoration, there seems to be nothing special about this floor.
Baili Xin turned the flashlight, and the light immediately fell on the walls on both sides.
The doors of each room are separated by the same distance. All the doors of the rooms are the same. There are no golden doors like in the [Cinema Paradiso] copy.
Everything looks so ordinary and natural.
Baili Xin looked up and saw the door number of the room closest to him: No. 1704.
He tried to turn the door, but it was locked. The metal lock only shook slightly, using its insignificant tremor to resist Baili Xin's twisting.
Baili Xin turned it twice and failed to open it, then he withdrew his hand and stared silently at the door lock.
The black-haired little monster laughed shrilly when he saw this. "Haha, you're stupid, you can't open it, hahaha."
It had just laughed for two seconds when the mocking voice stopped abruptly.
Baili Xin slowly took out a thin steel wire from mid-air, then the young man expertly bent the wire into a slightly concave and convex shape and inserted it into the keyhole with skillful technique.
The little black-haired monster swallowed silently and stared at Baili Xin's movements nervously.
After a few short yet long seconds of waiting, there was a crisp "click" sound, and the door lock that was originally closed opened.
The black-haired little monster's eyes were as big as copper bells: "..."
This is against the rules. This is against the rules.
You need an access card to open the door, and you need an invitation letter to get the access card.
"You're trying to exploit a loophole in the rules of the game!" The black-haired little monster gnashed his teeth with a creaking sound.
Baili Xin looked at him with disdain, "I've already drilled, what can you do to me? Are you going to blind me with your big watery eyes?"
The black-haired little monster's fur instantly exploded: "..."
Woo, so angry!
Baili Xin was just about to push the door open when he suddenly heard crisp footsteps coming from the end of the corridor.
—Step, step, step.
—Step, step, step.
Like the sound of leather shoes stepping on marble floor.
But this corridor is covered with thick carpets, so there shouldn't be such footsteps.
After the footsteps, there was the sound of the door being opened and closed.
—Crack, lie!
Baili Xin raised the flashlight and looked in the direction where the vague sound came from, but there was nothing at the end.
On one side was the door of the room that he had just casually opened, and on the other side was the end of the corridor where the strange sound came from.
Baili Xin didn't think too long before making his choice.
Under the flickering gaze of the little black-haired monster, Baili Xin changed direction and walked towards the end of the corridor.
The sound of doors opening and closing came from approximately the diagonal position. After Baili Xin walked to the end, he heard the middle door between the two rooms.
One door is the door to room 1717, and the other door is the door to room 1719.
The sound of a door opening just now came from one of the two doors of the room, but he couldn't determine which door it was for the time being.
Baili Xin first walked to the door of room 1717 and put his ear to the door to listen to the sounds inside.
For a few seconds, he heard nothing except his own heartbeat and breathing.
Taking his ear away from the door, Baili Xin quietly turned the doorknob and tentatively opened the door.
The long door handle was tightly fastened to the door lock without any movement.
Baili Xin stared at the door handle thoughtfully, with a look of understanding on his face.
The black-haired little monster's heart skipped a beat when he saw Baili Xin's expression, and he couldn't help but shout, "You, you're not going to pick the lock again, are you?"
The young man raised his eyelids slightly, and when he looked at the black-haired monster, he actually showed an approving expression. Not only that, the young man also gave a thumbs up in praise: Really smart.
The black-haired little monster, which originally had a large body and small limbs, had now completely turned into a fur ball. "!!!"
Do you think I will be happy if you praise me?!
You are a game breaker! You will be punished!
However, it was obvious that the young man did not hear the cry in Heimao's heart. He just took out the steel wire slowly as before and perfectly replicated the "unlocking in one second".
Baili Xin was about to push open the door and walk in when footsteps were heard again.
tread.
tread.
tread.
At this time, the sound was no longer coming from far away, but was very close, as if it was right next to my ear.
Baili Xin subconsciously turned his head away.
I saw a man in a suit appear behind me at some point.
The man was about thirty years old, with pale features and lifeless eyes. He stared blankly at the door of Room 1719 next door.
Baili Xin stared at the man, but the man didn't seem to notice Baili Xin. He just walked straight to the door of Room 1719 and pushed it open and walked in. With every step he took, there was a crisp sound of the soles of his leather shoes hitting the marble floor.
“Crack.”
“Bang!”
The door to room 1709 closed again.
Baili Xin's scrutinizing gaze fell on the door of Room 1709, and his eyes fell into deep thought.
s419m: Host, what have you thought of
Baili Xin: I have seen the person who just entered the door of room 1709.
s419m: Hmm? Where have you seen it before
Baili Xin: He is in the banquet hall downstairs. He is a guest of the banquet hall tonight. When I came up just now, he was still socializing and drinking inside.
s419m: Then he shouldn't be here. Is there another passage from the 16th floor to the 17th floor
Baili Xin: Another thing, he changed his clothes. Although they were both suits, the clothes he was wearing just now were different from the ones he wore in the banquet hall downstairs. You know Mirage, right
s419m: I understand, host.
Baili Xin: I guess what we just saw was not what is really happening now, but an illusion, or a re-enactment of the scene. If this is the case, even if we go in, the people next door will not react to our presence. Let's go in and take a look.
After he said that, he prepared to walk towards the door of room 1719.
Just as he turned around, the door of Room 1717, which had been closed beside him, was suddenly opened. A pair of dark hands wrapped in black air suddenly stretched out from inside, grabbed Baili Xin's wrist, and dragged Baili Xin into the door of Room 1719 as easily as an eagle catching a chick.
"Bang!" There was a dull sound of heavy objects hitting each other, and the door closed.
The originally dark corridor was now empty and fell into darkness and silence again, as if no one had ever appeared.
The black-haired monster was also confused by this sudden situation, and when it reacted, it immediately wanted to pass through the wall. However, its body, which should have been able to pass through all obstacles in this game world, was blocked outside. No matter how hard it hit, it could not get into this ordinary-looking room door.
The little black-haired monster stared at the door of the room for a long time, and finally disappeared angrily.
…
It was pitch black inside the door of room 1717.
On the cold wall covered with high-end wallpaper, there was a dark and inky outline.
Baili Xin was pressed between the wall and the black shadow by this powerful force, his body facing the wall, and his cheek had to be pressed tightly against the wall because the back of his head was pressed down.
The rough wallpaper rubbed against his smooth cheek, and Baili Xin smelled a faint smell of blood.
Both arms were controlled by an unknown force and pressed against the wall. The body, waist, and thighs, almost every part that could be felt seemed to be filled with that force.
The veins on Baili Xin's trapped arms bulged, and he concentrated all his strength on one point, and instantly broke free from the control of the black shadow.
The black shadow seemed to have not expected that Baili Xin could actually break free from his restraints. His shaking body paused for a second, and then the black shadow shook again, and black mist like ink splashed towards Baili Xin from all directions.
Baili Xin was quick to take out the dagger from his backpack. The sharp dagger fluttered in his hand like a nimble butterfly, and just as the butterfly was about to fall into the rich, inky sea of flowers, two thin black threads suddenly stretched out from the thick fog and suddenly wrapped around Baili Xin's wrist.
A pair of cold hands stretched out from the thick fog and placed on Baili Xin's waist. The black fog pushed forward, and Baili Xin's back hit the wall heavily.
A dark shadow soon arrived.
Just when Baili Xin was about to cut the black line with a dagger, a faint black gas penetrated into his nasal cavity. The familiar smell stayed in his nasal cavity for a few seconds and then disappeared.
Baili Xin, who was about to raise his hand, was stunned for a moment. In just this moment, the black fog immediately seized the flaw and took over. More thin lines emerged from the black fog and wrapped around Baili Xin's ankles.
The thin string was tightened and pulled apart, and Baili Xin's body, like a puppet, had to follow the movements.
The two feet moved further and further away from each other uncontrollably.
The black fog stuck close to Baili Xin, almost fitting perfectly with him. Baili Xin could even feel the squeeze on his chest and waist.
"Who the hell are you?!" The young man stared at the shadow in front of him with shame and anger, his eyes as bright as stars flashing brightly in the darkness, "Let me go, monster!"
Those eyes were like the stars in the sky, making people want to pick them one by one and take them home with them.
Heiwu stared at the young man in front of him, crazy thoughts constantly emerging in his mind.
Destroy him!
Tear him apart!
Destroy the stars in his eyes!
Let the wet tears of fear take their place!
Let him scream one after another!
That must sound wonderful!
