The moment the elevator door opened, Li Yan heard his heavy breathing, and he heard his heart beating rapidly in his chest, faster, faster, faster.
At this time, he was racing against ghosts and gods, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans slid down his forehead and temples to his chin.
tick.
tick.
Sweat drips.
It's coming, it's coming!
8002, he saw it! Hurry, hurry up!
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, Li Yan ran too fast and hit the door directly. The severe pain stimulated his nerves. His breathing was disordered, and his short-term violent running had overloaded his body. He used his last strength. , and press your hand on the door handle.
"Crack-"
The door of 8002 was opened by him, Li Yan's footsteps were vain, he stood up against the wall, opened the door, and was about to walk in when Si Yu and Tang Xiaoshi, who heard a loud noise, came over.
Li Yan saw Si Yu and knew that Si Yu was Gu Ran's companion. He said anxiously, "Come on, Gu Ran! Something happened to Gu Ran! He's inside!"
Seeing Li Yan's panicked appearance, Si Yu frowned and rushed in. There was no imaginary ghost in the room, the owner of the scarlet eye was not inside, the room was extremely quiet, there was no sound, and the falling needle could be heard.
Si Yu suddenly felt a palpitation, what about Gu Xizhou
He panicked, looked around the room, and found a person lying on the bed. Before he got close, Si Yu felt a biting coolness emanating from the bed.
The quilt blocked the face of the person on the bed, Si Yu walked over and lifted the quilt covering the other person's body.
…
So cold.
So cold.
When Gu Xizhou was half asleep and half awake, he only felt that his body was so cold that there was no trace of temperature, and all his consciousness was sticky together, exactly the same as the feeling on the day of resurrection, and the invisible chains tied to his body made him unable to move.
So sad, what's wrong with me
What's wrong with the body
Am I going to die again? Is it the same as before
No, no, blood, a lot of blood...
My heart is getting weaker, I hear it, it's death beckoning to me again, it beckons me...
His heartbeat slowly disappeared, slowly weakened.
Suddenly the heavy object on his body was taken away, and then he felt his body fall into a warm embrace, very warm and comfortable.
…
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Xizhou opened his eyes and gave his boss a pair of worried, bloodshot eyes.
what happened
Before Gu Xizhou's mind turned around, he knew that something must have happened to him, but why was he held by Si Yu? What the hell is going on
Si Yu looked a little tired, and when he saw him wake up, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Gu Xizhou noticed that he was wrapped in a thick quilt, and Si Yu was hugging him, his head was full of paste.
Si Yu hugged Gu Xizhou gently, squeezed Gu Xizhou's cheek lightly with his hand, and said warmly, "You'll be fine..."
Si Yu suddenly made such an intimate gesture, Gu Xizhou was stunned, and even Fang Zhi, who had been worrying about Gu Xizhou, was stunned, widened a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, and his eyes were full of words: "You guys are suddenly strange." !
Seeing Gu Xizhou wake up, Li Yan's heart can be regarded as falling back into his chest. Gu Xizhou is fine, and his life is saved. This time he successfully changed the future.
After waiting for Gu Xizhou to rest for a while, Fang Zhi asked in a low voice, "Brother Gu, do you still remember what happened last night?"
Only now did Gu Xizhou notice that it was dawn outside, and he nodded: "I had an impression earlier, I and Shaoxing found a voice recorder in the snow outside, we can confirm that the tour guide is the current owner of this hotel, he killed him. I killed my wife and probably killed the tour group... Later, I went upstairs and entered room 8002 to check the situation. After I entered, the sound of nails scraping the floor stopped abruptly, but there was nothing abnormal in the room.
"I remember I went into the room to check the situation, the door of 8002 was suddenly closed, I went to open it, and there was a biting chill around, and I don't remember anything after that."
Gu Xizhou recalled what happened last night.
"Did you know that when we found you, you were cold all over, like you were dead!"
Gu Xizhou followed the speaker's voice, saw Tang Xiaoshi frowning, and said nervously.
"Brother Gu, you almost died, you were frozen to death!" Fang Zhi was obviously still in shock, his eyes were red, and he had obviously cried not long ago, "Brother Si has been holding you, and there is frost on his body, Your body was like ice, I thought... I thought..."
When he said that, Fang Zhi put on a cry, and the words behind him were choked up.
"Don't cry, Xiaofang, am I all right?" Gu Xizhou said, "Doesn't that mean I'm lucky?"
"Good luck?" Li Yan on the side said speechlessly, "If it wasn't for the props on me, you would have frozen to death!"
Gu Xizhou looked at Li Yan, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes. He was about to ask, and Si Yu, who was beside him, answered: "It was Li Yan who noticed the abnormality first. Talking to my self tomorrow, last night he said he got a call from today... you're dead."
Hearing this, Gu Xizhou frowned, "I should have died in that room yesterday?"
Shi Yu nodded noncommittally.
Gu Xizhou couldn't help but feel a little dazed. He almost got cold yesterday. At this time, his eyes on Li Yan changed. In a sense, this prop of Li Yan is an alternative way of predicting the future.
Gu Xizhou turned to look at Li Yan, and whispered two words: "Thank you."
Li Yan smiled wryly and nodded, he was just saving himself, but this time it happened suddenly, he couldn't explain how he knew, so he could only admit that he had a prop.
In the past, he would never use this prop so abruptly. He would only tell himself relatively important information on the phone, and then pretend to find the pattern inadvertently, and then tell other teammates.
He stared at Gu Xizhou carefully, and found that Gu Xizhou did not show a greedy look in his eyes, but was just a little curious, and he also put down his heart.
Gu Xizhou's eyes swept over all the people here, his eyebrows wrinkled slightly, there are only seven people here, Tang Jiajia is not there, he asked: "Where is Tang Jiajia?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's face turned pale, Fang Zhi pointed to the hanging painting on the wall, and there was another snowman missing from the painting, and he immediately understood that Tang Jiajia died yesterday.
A new snowman has appeared.
Gu Xizhou looked at Fu Yiran, who was standing at the outermost position without saying a word, his head lowered, frowned, and looked away tightly.
Everyone was silent for a while, and finally Li Yan clenched his fist to his mouth, coughed lightly, and changed the subject: "Let's talk about that room, when we found you, besides being cold, you had a lot of frost on your body, you Can you remember anything?"
Gu Xizhou himself is not afraid of ghosts. Obviously, his accident was not because of ghosts, but because he triggered the death rule.
"Rules..." Gu Xizhou hesitated for a moment, then said, "I think of something when you say that."
Seeing everyone looking at him, Gu Xizhou said solemnly, "After I entered the room yesterday, I didn't feel anything at first, but after the door was closed, I suddenly felt a chill surge from the bottom of my heart. It should be closed, I lost Consciousness is after the door of the room is closed, and all anomalies occur after the door of the room is closed."
Gu Xizhou analyzed the situation last night.
"When I went in, there was nothing special in the room. After the door was closed, it was suddenly very cold. It was piercingly cold. The cold was very strange. It didn't come from the outside, but from the heart. It should conform to a rule."
"That's the problem," Si Yu nodded. "Closing the door is a condition for fulfilling the rules. When the room is sealed, the people inside will freeze to death."
"Is it the door closed by the scarlet-eyed ghost? After you go in, it goes out and then closes the door?" Tang Xiaoshi thought about it and said.
Si Yu directly denied Tang Xiaoshi's answer and said, "Impossible, if it has the ability to close the door, when the three of us went in to find Gu Ran, it could completely close the door to trigger the rules and let the four of us die inside. ."
"That's the ghost outside, the door closed by the ghost outside?" Shen Bo took the conversation and guessed.
Li Yan said solemnly, "It's possible. When I went up to look for Gu Ran, there was one more detail. I originally planned to go upstairs to look for you, but when I went to the elevator, the elevator went from the 8th floor to the 7th floor. , I couldn't get down, and then I received a call today.
"I went up the stairs and went all the way to the 7th floor. I saw a bench on the 7th floor blocking the elevator door, preventing the elevator from going down."
Hearing Li Yan's words, Tang Xiaoshi questioned again: "But... Yesterday, that ghost kept chasing me, drove me to the elevator, and pressed the 8th floor. Obviously, it wanted us to go up to the 8th floor... Why did it put it on again? A chair is on the seventh floor, blocking the elevator?"
"Who knows? Who can understand the mind of a ghost?" Li Yan sighed and touched the props in his trousers pocket. Although he had passed the test after saving Gu Ran, he couldn't understand why Gu Ran could not understand why. After death, everyone dies.
He told everyone about the props, but he did not say that after Gu Ran died, everyone would die. He subconsciously felt that this information was very important, and he carefully observed Gu Ran.
In addition to being disliked by Xiaoran in the team, Gu Ran has always been reliable and active in doing things, but he couldn't see anything special about this person other than being handsome and active. .
Gu Ran's death will lead to the death of everyone in the entire team... Li Yan shuddered at the thought that when they entered the room, they saw Si Yaoxing's scarlet eyes that were about to kill. The world is too difficult, but because their teammates are crazy...
No, it is impossible, the murderer will be punished by the world, if Si Yaoxing really kills everyone, then he has already violated the rules when he kills the first person and should be killed by the world!
Of course, the other party can use the rules to kill people, but when Gu Ran dies, they will know that there is something in room 8002. As long as two more people die, he will know the problem when he receives a call from him tomorrow, but the problem is that he received a call At that time, the 'he' clearly told him that everyone was dead, which meant that the day after Gu Xizhou's death, they were directly destroyed by the group.
Anyone who has experienced many mission worlds knows that the cruelest mission world will also give them hope. For example, in reality, the veteran he knows enters the mortal world, but even in that world, the protection of the rules will remain A living person leaves the mission world.
What would cause everyone to die together
It's a pity that he can't get an answer now. Even if he receives a call from tomorrow again, the content of the call will only follow the changed future of today.
Li Yan shook his head. He had a lot of doubts in his heart, but now is not the time to think about it. It is the most important thing to leave this mission world as soon as possible. He is very worried that Gu Ran will have another emergency. He was unwilling to ask them to be buried with him.
He said solemnly: "Then let's confirm the situation you analyzed, and let two... No, one is fine, one will go in, and the others will close the door."
"Of course, make sure to open the door immediately after closing it!" Li Yan made this decision.
Except for Si Yu and Gu Xizhou, the faces of the others were slightly pale, and their eyes were inexplicably filled with a layer of fear. They all saw Gu Xizhou being rescued. Let them try it out for themselves. This...
Shen Bo hesitated, "Will this be too risky?"
Li Yan shook her head: "The conditions must be verified. Something must have happened in this room. We divided into two groups. One group of people inquired about what happened in the room, and the other group went upstairs to verify the conditions!"
As for Li Yan's arrangement, Gu Xizhou thinks it is very reasonable. Although this person is a pervert, he is not bad in nature, and his head is very clear at this critical time.
Li Yan thought for a while and said, "Well, Gu Ran, you take a break. Si Yaoxing, take Xiao Tang and Xiao Ran to inquire about the situation. Fang Yuan and Shen Bo will go upstairs to verify the conditions."
Li Yan was mainly taking care of the two girls, so he arranged it this way, but as soon as his voice fell, Shen Bo, who was beside him, refused to agree, his body trembled slightly and his face turned pale: "Li Yan, I know you want to take care of the two. Girl, but, but I'm really scared, I don't dare..."
"And who goes in? You go in?" Shen Bo asked.
Li Yan was stunned for a moment and said, "Of course you or Fang Yuan go in. If I go in, if I die, I will definitely not be able to receive calls and change the future!"
Shen Bo was about to refute, when Si Yu said to Shen Bo in a deep voice, "I'll exchange with you, you bring them both."
Hearing Si Yu's words, Shen Bo was overjoyed and said repeatedly, "Okay! Thank you!"
Tang Xiaoshi on the side was slightly disappointed, while Fu Yiran heaved a sigh of relief.
After arranging the task... The people were divided into two groups. Gu Xizhou glanced at Si Yu and Fang Zhi. The two were with Li Yan, which meant that one of them had to enter the room. He couldn't help frowning and said to the two: " Close the door for up to three seconds and immediately open the door, it will take some time to freeze people to death, but I don't expect it to be too long."
Li Yan also said: "Yes, the time difference between the time I received the call and the time I went in is not very detailed, and the time difference between Gu Ran's going in is not very detailed. I expect this time..."
"What time did you get the call?" Si Yu asked, raising his eyebrows slightly.
Li Yan took out the PHS in his bag and turned to the call log. The call time was 12:11:24-12:11:27, and the call time was only three seconds. Si Yu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Li Yan, and said : "It seems that you are in a hurry to make this call today."
"Well... After all, it was a companion who had an accident, so it's normal to be anxious, right?" Li Yan was startled when she saw Si Yu's eyes for some reason, and explained in a low voice.
Fang Zhi on the side looked at Li Yan deeply and didn't say much. Li Yan's lie was so clumsy that even he could understand it.
According to the phone call that Li Yan said, Brother Gu died, but Tang Jiajia also died. Why did Li Yan try his best to save Brother Gu instead of choosing to save Tang Jiajia? There must be something they don't know about, but it seems that Li Yan doesn't want to say it now.
Si Yu didn't say anything, just gave Li Yan a faint look and said, "Let's go, go upstairs."
…
Shen Bo let out a deep breath, he was really unlucky, Liang Ke, who was in the same room on the first day, was the first to have an accident, and the female ghost found him the next day. There is also a most beautiful girl in the team, who is seen every time she makes a fool of herself!
"Xiao Ran, are you still scared when you walk behind?" As Shen Bo walked, he asked the beautiful girl beside him with her eyes full of steam.
Fu Yiran nodded slightly, grabbed the placket with his hand, his eyes were slightly red, and he didn't speak.
"Don't worry, we can all go out safely!" Seeing that Fu Yiran is pitiful, it's true that I feel pity, and the weakness makes it easy to arouse the desire to protect, Tang Xiaoshi's heart can't help but tremble, thinking back to last night Shocked, she patted Fu Yiran on the shoulder and comforted softly.
"Well." Fu Yiran lowered his head, unable to see the emotions in his eyes.
They successively looked for people to inquire about the situation, but they couldn't find any useful clues. Both Shen Bo and Tang Xiaoshi were a little dejected. This task is much simpler than confirming the rules of the room.
When it was time to eat at noon, Gu Xizhou saw the six people in the team coming back.
"It's confirmed, after the room is closed from the outside, the situation you mentioned will occur, but the time of freezing to death cannot be determined." Si Yu said.
Hearing that Si Yu and the others had made progress, Shen Bo said a little embarrassedly: "We found a lot of people, and they don't know what happened in room 8002."
"Well, I knew this would be the case. We guessed that someone was frozen to death in that room, but we don't know who it is, and what exactly does it want this time?" Li Yan sighed and said helplessly, The last sentence is to ask yourself and everyone. If you don't know the identity of the other party, you can't determine the way to achieve your wish.
"I guess the person in the room may be the first owner of the hotel, an old man," Gu Xizhou said softly after thinking for a while, "I remember a waiter told me and Si Yu that day that the old man died unexpectedly, and he may be the Frozen to death."
"Accident?" Li Yan muttered the word and said, "I'm afraid it's not an accident, but it's better to confirm, do you remember what the waiter looked like?"
Gu Xizhou thought for a while: "An inch head, a face with a national character, small eyes, a height of about 1.7 to 1.72 meters, and wears shoes of size 42 to 43. Oh, he is wearing leather shoes."
Hearing Gu Xizhou's description, Li Yan and the others instantly widened their eyes and looked at Gu Xizhou with a dazed expression. This description sounds a bit strange, no matter how tall you are, how can you even estimate the shoe size
After eating, everyone discussed and tried to find the waiter who might know the inside story before tonight, and divided them into three groups, Gu Xizhou, Si Yu; Fang Zhi, Shen Bo; Li Yan, Tang Xiaoshi, and Fu Yiran.
Everyone split up, and two hours later—
Li Yan reluctantly took out a cigarette from his bag, but couldn't find it, couldn't find it at all, that waiter was like the world had evaporated!
Ask him to say that no matter what, at least they have determined one thing, the tour guide killed his wife, and the former tour group that disappeared should also be done by the tour guide. After killing the tour guide, maybe they can leave directly.
Everyone knows that it is not necessary to find the root cause! But how to kill the tour guide
Li Yan pressed the lighter a few times before igniting the fire. He exhaled heavily and killed the NPC. He really didn't do it. He couldn't have used a knife to stab the tour guide, right
Just when he was thinking about it, a clear voice like a lark, the tone was very soft and light, "How about we three separately find someone to ask? Let's find someone together, the efficiency is too low."
Tang Xiaoshi was stunned when he heard Fu Yiran's words, with a slightly struggling look on his face, and quickly said: "I agree, anyway, as long as you don't go to the 8th floor during the day, there will be no danger, and it doesn't matter if you go separately."
Li Yan hesitated for a moment, then frowned: "Can you two do it?"
Seeing that the two girls had decided to act separately, Li Yan didn't stop him. Since he didn't receive the call, there would be no problem with these arrangements. Li Yan nodded and said, "Okay, you all take care of your own safety."
…
It was another half an hour. After flipping through the floors 1-7, I couldn't find the waiter at all. Li Yan frowned and saw the person coming out of the elevator, and was stunned for a while. Not on the 8th floor
The ghostly Li Yan walked into the elevator and pressed the number 8.
"Ding-"
No, he pressed the 8th floor, why did the elevator stop on the 4th floor
Li Yan pressed the door close button, and pressed the number 8 again. The elevator door closed and then opened again.
"Fuck, what's the matter?" Just when he was irritable, he suddenly noticed that there was another person in the aisle, and he was slightly taken aback, "Hey, Xiao Ran is such a coincidence, you are also on the 4th floor."
"I was about to take the elevator back to the third floor. I just found the waiter you mentioned!"
Li Yan said in surprise: "What? Did you find him? Where is he?"
"He just left again..." Fu Yiran said helplessly, "but he told me that 8002 was the first room where the owner of the hotel had an accident. After the snowfall that day, the circuit on the hotel side was suddenly interrupted, and there was no heating in the room. I heard that the window of that room was in disrepair for a long time and was blown off by the heavy snow, and then the snow blew the whole room, and the old man was completely paralyzed.
