Only me in the world is normal

Chapter 324 The Disappeared Number Eight

If there is an apostle of dreams with outstanding strength, then the "asymmetrical confrontation" Liu Yu said may be realized.

"Can't you open the closet?" Xia Yanzhen walked over, chose the closet No. [-], reached out and grabbed the handle outside, and was about to open it violently.

"Wait!" Mrs. Jones stopped immediately, "Don't mess around!"

There are many rules in the hotel. Whether it is the check-in rules or the employee handbook, it is normal at first, but the more you look at it, the more wrong it becomes.

It gives people a feeling that if they are not careful, they will fall into the abyss.

An invisible and inexplicable sense of fear rushed over his face.

People have to be vigilant.

No one can tell what the consequences of forcibly opening the wardrobe will be, let alone try it indiscriminately.

"Rules, obey the rules of the hotel." Richard emphasized, "What do you want to do?"

"Aren't you going to sabotage on purpose?"

"Your task will not be different from ours, will it?"

One stone stirred up thousands of waves, and Xia Yanzhen's actions immediately aroused all kinds of suspicions.

Only Douglas was silent.

But he didn't speak because Xia Yanzhen saved him, but because his jaw hurts, so try not to say anything if you can.

"I want to open the clothes of the service staff, don't you think it can be used as an emergency?" Xia Yanzhen said.

As can be seen from the employee handbook, work clothes are very important things.

Maybe it can save lives at a critical moment.

"That's for the future. Do you think it won't cause any consequences if you forcefully open the closet now?" Liu Yu asked.

"That's right, forget it." Xia Yanzhen took a step back and followed the advice, "Then do what you want and be safe."

"My hope is very simple, that is, everyone abides by the rules of the hotel." Liu Yu said, "Whoever acts recklessly is our common enemy."

"Yes."

"I agree."

"I think so."

A group of people looked at Xia Yanzhen.

"Okay." Xia Yanzhen nodded with a smile.

"What time is it?" Relatively speaking, Kazumi, who has been relatively quiet, asked, she was very concerned about the time.

"It was eight o'clock before I came, and it's still early."

"There is no clock here."

There is no clock in the lounge, so it is impossible to know the exact time.

Several people walked out of the lounge.

This lounge is just one of many rooms.

There are various doors on both sides of the corridor, but there is no sign outside the door, so I don't know what these rooms are for.

The room door was locked and could not be opened.

After the consensus reached just now, no one proposed to open the door of the room to take a look.

A group of people returned to the front lobby.

"Fifteen past eight."

The grandfather clock in the corner of the lobby points to [-]:[-].

There are still more than three hours before the red line twelve o'clock, which is still plenty.

"Let's have a look again." Qin Feng suggested.

Everyone acted collectively and thoroughly checked the first floor.

Lobby, Stairs, Elevator Hall, Fire Stairway (doors are locked).

The first half of the first floor is like this, and the second half is the working area for employees, and ordinary guests will not come.

Unknown rooms with locked doors.

"Second floor."

Several people didn't intend to take the elevator, and went up to the second floor through the spiral passage.

Follow what's written in the employee handbook.

The second floor is the dining area.

After going up, it was indeed the case, the lobby, and various small private rooms.

In addition, there is a "staff dining area", and the words "customers are not allowed" are placed outside the glass door.

The kitchen should be connected to the staff dining area. If you want to abide by the rules of the hotel, there is no way to enter the kitchen.

Unless... like Douglas, wearing overalls, it can be regarded as taking advantage of the loopholes to get in.

Now, Douglas would definitely not carry out such a dangerous act of solo exploration.

"There are no more stairs." Qin Feng said.

"Yes, there are only fire exits, and the doors are still locked. We can only take the elevator to go up." Wang Defa also said.

The first floor has a spiral staircase to the second floor.

On the second floor, there are only elevators and fire exits leading to the upper floors.

There are two elevators, running parallel on the same side, regardless of single or double floors.

LED strips on the elevator doors showed one elevator stopped on the eighth floor and one on the first floor.

"Eighth floor?"

"First floor?"

Everyone immediately realized that something was wrong.

After No. 302 and Douglas changed their clothes, they must have stayed in room [-] on the third floor.

Why is one elevator on the first floor and the other on the eighth floor?

After him, did anyone use the elevator?

"Press or not?" Xia Yanzhen asked, putting his hand on the button between the two elevators.

"Let's go back to the first floor first." Liu Yu suggested.

"Well, go back to the first floor." Mrs. Jones kept the same pace.

Everyone went back to the lobby on the first floor.

Xia Yanzhen walked behind the glass door leading to the outside, reached out and pushed the glass door open.

Everyone watched his actions without speaking.

Xia Yanzhen slowly extended a hand out of the door, and said after a while: "No response..."

After speaking, he stretched out another foot.

"It seems that we have to go out before we leave the hotel area." Xia Yanzhen stepped back and did not continue the experiment.

Let some people can't help but be disappointed.

"When, when, when..."

At this time, the grandfather clock rang.

"It's nine o'clock?"

"So soon?"

"We were wasting too much time on the second floor?"

Everyone looked at the grandfather clock and felt that the time passed faster than they imagined.

"Isn't the clock going to break?" said Richard, slightly worried.

In all the places they have been to just now, there are no clocks.

In such a huge hotel, on the first and second floors, there is only such a grandfather clock.

It is not good news for the dream apostles who need to pay attention to the time.

If the clock is broken, it's even worse.

"Let's go to the room first." Liu Yu suggested.

The grandfather clock may be broken, so the time I know now will be inaccurate. It is safest to go to the room first.

Go to the elevator room and press the only up elevator button.

The elevator door opens, and there is an area inside that requires a card swipe.

After swiping the room card, press the floor button to light up and the elevator will operate.

If you don't swipe the room card, pressing it [-] times is useless.

Seven people entered the elevator, and Douglas stayed outside. He didn't plan to go up, and he wanted to play the role of a good service staff here.

Swipe your card and press the button on the third floor.

The elevator door closed and went up, and soon, with a "ding", it reached the third floor.

The structure of the third floor is simple.

The elevator lobby, the doors to the fire escape, and then a walkway with rooms on either side.

A window at the end of the corridor.

"There are quite a few 'secret rooms' in this hotel." Qin Feng said.

Obviously, what they saw only occupied a part of the entire third floor.

There is another part that everyone cannot see.

"Never mind that, just look at the room."

In the corridor covered with soft carpets, the rooms on both sides follow the principle of odd number on one side and even number on the other side.

301 is opposite to 302, 303 is opposite to 304 like this, pair by pair.

There is a sign on the door of the room here.

Everyone came to Room 306 at the same time and took a look around.

"You monitor this room at night, is there any problem?" Mrs. Jones looked at Richard and asked.

Richard nodded.

With the room card of 305, he can observe room 306 through the peephole.

Richard had a task, and everyone did not rush into their respective rooms, but chose to open all the rooms and visit them one by one.

All the rooms are similar, double bed, bathroom - and a small cubicle study.

The overall room is larger than the average chain hotel room.

There is no TV in the room, and there is a phone next to the bed. You can contact the hotel front desk at any time, just press the number 0.

In Xia Yanzhen's room 301, he tried to make a call.

After a while, the phone was connected.

"Douglas?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"It's me..." Douglas' slightly vague voice sounded, "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, let's test whether the phone works. Can you make a call to the room?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"No." Douglas said, "However, I can transfer calls to other rooms for you."

The front desk phone is a relay station.

If necessary, the call between the two rooms can be realized through the front desk.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yu frowned and said, "There is no clock in the room, did you see it?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Dangdangdang..."

Just then, another bell rang.

A total of ten rings, which means that the time has come to 10 o'clock.

"impossible!"

If it was just a suspicion just now, but now the clock is ringing, you can be absolutely sure that the time is wrong.

Based on everyone's physical experience, it must not be ten o'clock yet!

"...Is that clock broken? Or is our sense of body wrong."

"Should we take this bell as the standard?"

Liu Yu and others spoke one after another.

"Ask?" Xia Yanzhen said.

"Ask who?"

"Of course it's number eight." Xia Yanzhen stepped out of his 301, came to the door of 302, and knocked on the door.

After knocking for a while, no one opened the door.

"Call." Xia Yanzhen said.

Mrs. Jones was still in 301, picked up the phone, and contacted Douglas at the front desk.

Douglas is transferred to Room 302.

But I could only hear the sound of beeping, beeping for 5 minutes, but still no one answered.

"Did you hear the phone ring?" Liu Yu put her ears on the door of the room and listened carefully.

"No."

"No."

"Have."

Only Xia Yan really gave a different answer. He stood outside the door and could hear the faint ringing of the phone.

"Hang up." Xia Yanzhen said.

Mrs. Jones hesitated in the room, and explained to Douglas that it was broken over there.

The ringing from room 302 stopped.

"Forget it, let's do this tonight." Liu Yu rubbed the center of her brows, looking a little tired.

So far, no one has encountered any danger.

But continuous thinking and analysis is inevitable.

Not tired physically, but not relaxed mentally.

No. 302 of [-] didn't respond. I don't know if he entered the room or not.

306 We don't want to provoke you for the time being.

A group of people went back to their rooms and closed the door.

The entire third floor suddenly fell silent.

Xia Yanzhen dragged the chair in the room, put it behind the door, and sat on the chair without closing the door, just looking at 302.

Don't open the door forcefully, just take a look, right?

Not long after sitting in the chair, the sound of the grandfather clock on the first floor came.

A total of 11 knocks were made, and there was still an hour left before the 12 o'clock red line.
