Chapter 502 [Domain - First Gate] 309 (1)
Chen Ji was able to confirm this because he saw irrefutable evidence.
The intern's badge.
Under the bed, a corner peeked out, exactly the same as the insignia on his own uniform chest!
That's when.
With a ripping sound, Feng Yao steadied herself and immediately tore off the butyl tape, sticking it to the crack with a snap.
Without a second's hesitation, she quickly pulled her head out of the rope and jumped down the ladder.
"It's fixed, it won't leak anymore."
Feng Yao's tone sounded calm, but her palms were actually sweaty.
The moment the ladder shook almost made her heart stop.
The female ghost remained silent.
It stood quietly in front of the door, blocking their way, clearly not intending to let Chen Ji and his companions leave easily.
In the midst of this tense atmosphere, suddenly, its head tilted slightly, as if it had heard some sound.
Half a minute later.
The female ghost suddenly moved.
It gave them a strange look, then turned to the side, indicating that they could leave.
Just after all four of them left the room, the door slammed shut.
Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, a crackling sound suddenly rang out, followed by Du Tingfeng's voice coming from the walkie-talkie:
"Hey?"
Which room are you inspecting?
"303." Feng Yao sighed. It's still far from over.
Du Tingfeng spoke rapidly: "Go to 309 first. 309 just called the switchboard to urge you to get there within five minutes."
"The guest was a middle-aged man with a hoarse voice; I couldn't glean any other information from him."
"Okay, got it." After turning off the walkie-talkie, Chen Ji had already made a judgment about the abnormality that had just occurred.
Let's calculate the time.
The moment the female ghost let them leave was when 309 was calling the front desk to urge them to hurry up.
It was because the people in that room were urging them to leave that the female ghost had no choice but to let them go... A sense of absurdity flashed through Chen Ji's mind—a ghost had saved them.
To be precise, it wasn't exactly a rescue.
It's more like escaping from the wolf's den only to enter the tiger's lair.
The ghost inside 309 is far more terrifying than the female ghost in 303. To be precise, the female ghost is just a ghost created by 309!
Thinking of this, Chen Ji told everyone about the connection between the two rooms.
"...No wonder that female ghost's eyes were so strange...They didn't look like she felt regret, but rather pity!"
Huang Yue looked very unwell.
"Wait a minute." Feng Yao noticed an important question: "Does this mean all these guest rooms belong to hotel staff?"
"not quite."
Chen Jidao said, "At least the ghosts in mourning clothes and the ghosts of husband and wife come from outside to check in."
Moreover, the number of people doesn't match up.
He believed that the hotel's guests should be divided into two categories:
First, there are core residents like the mourning ghost and the 309 ghost, each of whom is a vengeful spirit and extremely dangerous.
That one rule, "wearing mourning clothes and bowing one's head," caused the deaths of several people.
Then there are the NPC staff.
However, it seems there's a condition for them to actually stay in the guest rooms: death!
The ghost in room 303 shed its uniform after death, signifying that it was no longer an employee.
This can be confirmed by checking later to see if any other deceased employees can be found.
In addition, there is a particularly unusual ghost that wanders in the stairwell, but since no one has seen its face and has only seen a hand, they cannot make a judgment for the time being.
"Only the dead can actually move in."
Feng Yao concluded.
However, there is one oversight: the hotel was already full before the person died, and the order of events seems illogical.
There was no time to think about these things now. After glancing at their watches, the group immediately headed towards room 309.
My heart rate gradually increased.
In the end, I came back here...
Chen Ji was filled with mixed emotions. Unlike last time, when he was forced to go in, this time he had no choice but to go in voluntarily.
When they actually got close to 309, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.
Sometime later, the door to this guest room was quietly opened, revealing a crack.
Warm yellow light shone from inside.
This was completely different from what Chen Ji had seen before. Back then, the room was very dark, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
Feng Yao still knocked on the door.
no respond.
The room was very quiet; it was hard to imagine that just a few minutes ago, a ghost had been making a phone call here.
Only a very faint beeping sound could be heard inside the room.
Huang Yue kicked the door open and quickly backed away. He knew that the two employees who had come in earlier had been hanged as soon as they entered the room.
but......
What they saw before them was completely unexpected!
There was no one in room 309. There was no rope hanging from the ceiling either.
But it was much larger than any of the guest rooms Chen Ji had ever seen, and it was luxuriously decorated, just like a presidential suite!
"Was it this spacious before?" A hint of doubt rose in Chen Ji's mind.
When he killed the man with the mole, he peeked into the house.
Although it was too dark inside to see clearly, he remembered that the depth didn't seem to be that long.
"Let's go in and take a look first," Feng Yao said softly, and went in first.
Everyone followed closely behind.
After entering the house, Chen Ji glanced around and felt an even stronger sense of unease.
This is a suite.
Upon entering, there is a reception room, which connects to a room on each side. A cane is placed by the window of the reception room.
Just then, Huang Yue caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye that the door had disappeared!
His expression changed slightly; where there used to be a door, only a white wall remained.
"...Can't you leave until the leak is fixed?"
Feng Yao looked up thoughtfully, but didn't see any leaks in the reception room.
In another room?
The four decided to check out the room on the left first.
The continuous beeping sound was coming from there.
This room is a bedroom with a walk-in closet and a private bathroom, but there were still no guests in sight.
They still couldn't find the leak, but Chen Ji had completely pinpointed the source of the beeping sound.
Behind the curtains.
The group exchanged glances, all somewhat hesitant.
Based on experience, places like wardrobes and curtains are likely to harbor ghosts. Huang Yue was even 90% certain that as soon as they opened the curtains, they would be attacked by a vengeful ghost.
"I come."
Chen Ji walked towards the window, and whether it was his imagination or not, the closer he got to the window, the faster the beeping sound became.
It felt like a time bomb countdown, sending a chill down your spine.
