A group of ghosts sit in front of a big screen... watching ghost movies.
The ghosts in the hotel are full of love to play various ghosts with different characteristics, guaranteeing that they will not be repeated, and will not hit the way of appearance, and give the actors a 100% "surprise" every time.
The protagonists of the ghost film are the other nine testers who stayed in the hotel this time.
Compared with that skinny man, the treatment of other testers is more exciting.
Although there are ten rooms in total, the fourth and fifth twins sleep in the same room all the time because of their habits. They turn off the light when they enter the room and go to sleep. The two brothers look at each other gloomyly without saying a word. ghost.
But when the two brothers just woke up on the bed, two hands kept touching their cheeks and arms. After struggling unconsciously for a few times, the two brothers opened their eyes in a daze.
that moment…
In the room where only the porch lights were on, several ghosts with red eyes stood upright on the edge of the twins' beds, looking down at them.
"Get up... Let's play together..." The ghosts gathered together to the twins, "Don't... sleep..."
"..."
Su Qingxing saw with his own eyes the twins who seemed very calm on weekdays. After staring at the ghosts for a long time without saying a word, he rolled his eyes in a very unified manner and passed out directly.
The ghosts watching in the hall booed, sounding disappointed that the twins didn't run away screaming.
Next, the other testers were also hit one by one. Except for Curly and Baimao who were responsible for the force value, everyone was terrified. And after the ghost sneaked into the room of Curly Hair and White Hair, even if they locked the doors and windows of these two by means, one of them directly kicked the door lock, and the other directly used superpowers to split the door open. He ran out the door immediately.
Because the purpose of the ghosts this time is to scare, not chase.
So when Curly Hair and Bai Mao were ready to escape from the fierce ghost, they found that the ghost behind them disappeared without a trace.
There was another booing in the hotel lobby.
Su Qingxing noticed that some ghosts even set up a gambling game in the lobby, but he didn't know what currency they used in the gambling game. After all, this world is limited to the hotel.
While the ghosts were discussing the "ghost movie" that was staged today, Su Qingxing suddenly saw a small figure flashing by. That figure seemed to be the little milk dog transformed by the god of death.
"Master, I want to find..."
"It would be very dangerous to leave from my side." Before Su Qingxing could finish speaking, he heard the old man warn first, "And without us ghosts following you, there is no way for you to leave the hall."
"Then I'll take a look around in the hall." Su Qingxing smiled gratefully at the old man, and then circled around in the eyes of all the ghosts, trying to find the God of Death who didn't know where he went.
Maybe it's because few testers stand on the same side as the ghosts, so no matter where Su Qing walks, he always gets the attention of those ghosts. Su Qingxing even feels some cold eyes turning behind his back.
Some of the ghosts in this hall may not be content with peace.
"I found you." Without much effort, Su Qingxing found the little milk dog lying there in a corner of the hall, and successfully hugged the god of death who had transformed into a little milk dog, "How did you get here? coming?"
The little milk dog looked at Su Qingxing with wide eyes, and then obediently nestled in Su Qingxing's arms, as if he was just an ordinary little milk dog and knew nothing about other things.
But when Su Qingxing stretched out his little hand to scratch the little milk dog's belly, the little guy shy away away. From this, Su Qingxing can be sure that the heart of the little milk dog is still the mysterious Lord Reaper.
"Old man, can I take it with me?" Su Qingxing returned to the old man with the little milk dog in his arms.
"This is..." The old man looked at the little white dog in Su Qingxing's arms in confusion, "Where did this come from? Since when did even dogs have to go through the underworld trials?"
"I don't know, I met in the hotel, isn't it the dog in the hotel?" Su Qingxing also pretended to be totally ignorant.
"Maybe, I don't even know how good things are in this hotel." The old man said and didn't care about this issue any more. "Okay, the play is over, let's go back and rest first."
Because the old man made a request, Su Qingxing, who was working as a "waiter", put the little milk dog in his arms beside him, and told him that he must never run around casually again, and must follow him closely, pushing the old man's wheelchair , and walked in the direction the old man pointed.
They left the hotel lobby all the way, followed the familiar and twisted corridors, all the way back to the dark corridor.
Su Qingxing parked the wheelchair downstairs, then helped the old man get up from the wheelchair, walked up the stairs little by little, and opened the door smoothly.
"Still not." Looking at the darkness in the attic room, the old man suddenly sighed inexplicably.
"Old man, is there anything missing?" Su Qingxing asked while turning on the light in the attic.
"It's the moon."
The old man leaned on crutches and walked step by step to the skylight of the attic.
"A long time ago, when everyone was alive and well, there would be moonlight shining down here." The old man stretched out his finger and pointed to the skylight above his head, "Even if the lights were not turned on at that time, the moonlight would illuminate this room, It's beautiful."
Su Qingxing also looked up at the pitch-black skylight, and there was indeed nothing there.
In fact, such a result is also expected. Although Zhu Sha built an identical hotel, he did not build an identical sky for this world, nor did he build a moon for the world outside the skylight.
Without the moon, there would naturally be no moonlight.
"Old man, Manager Hao seemed to call you 'father-in-law'." Su Qingxing sat on the sofa in the attic and asked curiously.
Although he has not been in contact with these ghosts for a long time, Su Qingxing can feel that Manager Hao has a certain leadership among the ghosts, and his words are very important. It was precisely because of this that this old man whom Manager Hao called "father-in-law" was able to give the keynote speech, and Su Qingxing stayed by his side.
"She is my daughter-in-law." The old man also sat on the other side of the sofa and took a deep breath, "I have an unworthy son who took all the money from this hotel, owed a whole lot of debt, and even Mortgage the entire hotel, and I don’t know where I fled.”
"In the end, this hotel was still... hey... my daughter-in-law tried to stop it, but she was persuaded in the end." The old man sighed helplessly.
The old man didn't say anything in detail, but with this information, Su Qingxing can infer that the old man's son was the former manager of the hotel, but in the end he abandoned his wife and the old man and escaped alone, leaving a completely unmanageable mess.
"I don't understand." Su Qingxing frowned, knowing that the old man could answer his question, "No matter what happens in the hotel, it is impossible to affect the ordinary employees and guests of the hotel. Why did the hotel employees burn down the entire hotel? Why didn't all the guests escape on the last night? What happened?"
"..."
The old man stared at Su Qingxing dumbfounded.
"Why... why do you know this?" The old man recalled what happened after he met Su Qingxing, and he was sure that he never mentioned the burning down of the entire hotel, let alone the failure of all the guests on the last night. Get away with this thing.
Why did Su Qingxing suddenly ask such a question
Why did Su Qingxing know about this
"Questions and answers are mutual, old man." Su Qingxing hugged the puppy with a smile on his lips, "It's fair to ask and answer, isn't it?"
"..." The old man paused for a moment, and then said after regaining his senses, "There are some things you children may not understand. This hotel looks like an ordinary hotel, but to some people it is like home. , some people even have nothing but memories of this hotel.”
"As for the guests on the last night..." the old man smiled wryly. "The hotel was at the end of the day, and there were no guests for a month. Under such circumstances, why did so many guests come on the last night?"
"Why?"
"Because they all came here voluntarily." The old man knocked on the floor with his cane, and said in a low voice with a serious expression, "They wanted to commit suicide from the very beginning, so after knowing that the employees of this hotel were going to burn down the hotel, they were very happy land is coming."
A group of... people who voluntarily begged for death
Su Qingxing suddenly understood why Zhu Sha found these ghosts so troublesome.
"So can you tell me now?" The old man has finished answering the question, "Who the hell are you? Why do you know this?"
"Old man." Su Qingxing took a deep look at the old ghost, "Did you really not guess the answer?"
"You are not a tester at all." The expression on the old ghost's face was also a bit complicated, "You are not stupid and can't tell the difference between people and ghosts, you even know this hotel and why we ghosts are here. So, you are People from the ghost town?"
"Su Qingxing, the guide of ghost town No. 666, greets the old man on behalf of the builder Zhu Sha." Su Qingxing smiled, "How about treating this as a secret between me and the old man?"
"So ghost town No. 666 already has a new guide?" The old man was a little surprised, "No... I didn't expect it to be such a young child. No, no... I'm really rude, Mr. Guide."
The old man seemed a little incoherent.
"Shh." Su Qingxing made a hissing gesture, "Tell the old man this secret in the hope that you and your daughter-in-law can do me a favor."
"help?"
"It's about the ingredient tomorrow."
