Xinghao Hotel,
Just listening to the name, there is a strong nostalgia from ten or twenty years ago,
Just like the rural people named Caifeng, Cuixue, Xiuhong, Xiu'e, Dashan, Dabao, Arita, and Youshu ten or twenty years ago, the breath of history is overwhelming.
And this Xinghao Hotel is indeed full of historical precipitation. It is very old and has been open for more than ten years.
This is a hotel transformed from a private house with floor-to-ceiling rooms. There are five floors in total. The entire building belongs to one family. It was converted into a single-room hotel by business-minded people a long time ago.
Moldy and blackened exterior walls, withered wall creepers, rusty and corroded anti-theft windows, glass sliding doors with loose door handles, damp and musty smell like plum vegetables, oil stains and slippery feet even when entering the house There are cracked and inferior floor tiles in many places, and the rustic and bulky front desk with peeling paint.
The hotel is really old.
Even the boss knows that the investment in redecorating is too high, and if hundreds of thousands are spent, there will be no splashes.
And the hundreds of thousands invested in it is equivalent to almost half of the money earned in recent years.
Simply the boss will continue to salt the fish to the end.
I don't know how the three women and one man found such a remote old hotel that met their exciting conditions.
Fangzheng pushed open the doorknob and there was a loose glass sliding door. He carried a long backpack on his back and came to the front desk, but the waitress at the front desk today was not the one he saw in the mirror world.
This is an older woman, and she is the proprietress of this hotel.
book a room,
elevator,
fourth floor,
Room 402.
"If you are staying for one night, your check-out time is before 12:00 noon tomorrow. If you do not check out at the front desk after 12:00 noon, you will be charged half a day's room rate before 6:00 p.m. God. In addition, you keep this key card and return it to us when you check out, and we will refund the deposit of 200 yuan." The proprietress reminded me to go through the process.
The proprietress said while knocking on the door of the vacant room 402, and then waited outside the door for a few seconds before she opened the electronic lock with the door card key.
Watching the operation of the proprietress, Fangzheng asked calmly, "Has anyone died here before?"
This kind of unlucky thing, the proprietress quickly poohed: "Good luck, you can't talk nonsense like this. Except for the remote location of our hotel, other conditions are as clean and hygienic as those hotels in big cities."
While looking around the layout of the room, Fangzheng asked casually, "Is there anyone living in room 401 next door? I'm a light sleeper at night, and I'm easily woken up by small movements."
The proprietress replied: "There is an empty room next door. If you come a few days earlier, it may indeed disturb your sleep."
Fangzheng let out an oh, and asked why he said that
The proprietress said that a few days ago, three women and one man stayed in the 401 next door, and then the night passed peacefully, and they checked out the next day.
The reason why she is so deeply concerned about this matter is that after the three women and one man checked out, the waitress who received the four people on the day quickly asked for a sick leave, saying that she was not feeling well and had not been there for several days. come to work.
Fangzheng thought about it, it seems that the sick waitress mentioned by the proprietress is the waitress in the mirror world.
Soon, he noticed a detail, the three women and one man who were playing psychic games were killed collectively that night, so who checked out the room in the end? So, he asked: "Do you remember checking out that day? Did those four people check out the room themselves? Or did someone else check out the room for them?"
"Of course I came to check out." The proprietress said indifferently.
"Boss, are you sure?" Fangzheng reconfirmed.
The proprietress didn't answer Fang Zheng's question immediately this time, she was already vigilant, she was a little wary of Fang Zheng, and asked Fang Zheng why he was so clear about it
Fangzheng made an excuse casually, saying that he was just curious.
"Actually, there is nothing to talk about. I was away that day. Chunyan was on duty. Chunyan did the check-in and check-out. Chunyan is an old employee of mine. She is very proficient in the check-out process, and she won't mess around, it should be the room where the four of them checked out together." The proprietress said.
Fangzheng: "After those four people checked out, did any unusual or strange things happen in the room when they were cleaning in 401?"
The proprietress was getting a little impatient with Fang Zheng's question: "You can stay at ease, our Xinghao Hotel has been here for more than ten years, and we can't make jokes about such things if we say that no one has died. of."
After seeing off the proprietress, in room 402, Fangzheng felt that the employee called Chunyan who suddenly took sick leave for several days and didn't come to work was suspicious.
But what he has to do now is to figure out what's going on in the 401 next door.
call,
Just when Fang Zheng was about to make a move, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew into the room,
Curtains flutter like shadows,
Fangzheng went to the window to check. It turned out that the hotel installed a screen window in order to keep the room ventilated, and the summer weather was getting hotter and hotter. The outside wind was blown in through the screen window.
Fangzheng was just about to close the glass window. There are two layers of windows, the outer layer of glass windows and the inner layer of screened windows, but at this moment, boom...
A soft sound came from the direction of the stairs outside the door.
402 is just diagonally facing the direction of the stairs.
This sound is like the sound of marbles falling to the ground, or the light tapping sound of stainless steel handrails. The sound is very soft, and it disappears after only one ring. If it is not an ordinary person, it must be an auditory hallucination. .
But Fangzheng believed in his senses, and he was absolutely right.
There was indeed noise from the landing.
And it was exactly the same as the strange noise he heard mixed with the sound of water in the mirror world.
Sure enough, there was a problem with this old hotel. Fang Zheng took out the scarlet knife case wrapped in cinnabar ink thread, and chased him out of the room with a strong aura.
Outside the door in the middle of the night, there is a quiet and narrow hotel aisle, forming a Hui character, and the two sides of the aisle are full of guest rooms, which are placed in the Hui character aisle.
Fangzheng glanced at 401 next door out of the corner of his eyes, and then directly pushed open the door of the safe passage. Behind the safe passage door was the stairs. Fang Zheng held on to the railing and lowered his head to look down the stairs.
Many people have claustrophobia, and claustrophobia is also prone to occur in the stairs. For example, when you look down the stairs at night, you always worry that there is a female ghost in white standing on the first floor looking up at you;
Or when you look up at the top of the stairs, you are afraid that a female grimace with disheveled hair will fall from above your head.
There are also people who wonder whether there will be a second person's footsteps on the stairs behind them, and they will walk against the wall in fear and dare not walk close to the handrail.
