Thirteenth month of death

Chapter 155: Unraveling the Cause of Death
dead again!
The expressions of Li Daosheng and the other two suddenly changed. Although it was still broad daylight, a chill surged from the bottom of their hearts.

Chen Qing and Wu Keyong were even more horrified. The reason why Chu Ge was chosen as the temporary captain was not for any other reason but because he was strong enough.

Chu Ge's fortune-telling ability was extremely exaggerated, so it was impossible for him to die in a place like this...

Why did he die?
The two looked at each other and saw fear in each other's eyes.

Li Daosheng calmed down, squatted down immediately, and picked up the notebook that appeared on Chu Ge.

After opening it, there was also a line of words written on it.

[Until the cause of death is determined, do not leave the hotel and keep your team of four people at all times.]

Same sentence.

The strong sense of déjà vu made Chen Qing and Wu Keyong feel as if time was going back and forth.

Li Daosheng didn't feel safe at all. This place was too weird.

There really is a death rule.

But what is it?
Huh?
Wait, something's missing!

Where about water?

Where did the hot water that the hotel owner brought go?

Li Daosheng stood up and looked around. The house was not big and there was no place to hide. Where could the water go?
"Wu Keyong," Li Daosheng immediately turned around and asked, "When you found Sun Qianyun last night, was there any water next to her?"

Wu Keyong shook his head, and Chen Qing suddenly reacted.

yes! ?
Where did the water go?
The three of them realized this problem at the same time.

The answer may be hidden in the hot water delivered to your door by the hotel owner.

Although Li Daosheng found the suspicious point, another doubt arose in his heart.

Is it a coincidence?

If the rules of this hotel need to be triggered by hot water, then isn't Sun Qianyun's behavior of asking the boss for hot water too coincidental?

If no one needs hot water, can we just stay in a hotel and be safe?

Li Daosheng always felt that something was wrong, as if he had missed something.

"What should we do? Should we wait for the fourth person now?" Chen Qing's face looked ugly. She had experienced many worlds. She was not afraid of death, but she did not want to die in obscurity. This was too cowardly. She didn't even know the reason.

"No, let's try it again immediately. This time I'll be the bait." Li Daosheng said.

"I'll do it," Wu Keyong said immediately. "Strictly speaking, you have nothing to do with this matter. You [Thirteenth Month] didn't even cause any trouble."

Li Daosheng shook his head: "I'm not committing suicide. I really found something wrong. Besides, I have some confidence."

"This time, you hide inside the house."

He looked at Wu Keyong and Chen Qing.

After hearing this, the two nodded reluctantly.

He closed the door again and moved Chu Ge's body to the next room.

Wu Keyong and Chen Qing both hid under the bed.

Seeing that they had already hidden themselves, Li Daosheng shouted, "Boss!"

"Could you please bring me some hot water?"

"Okay! Come here!"

The door was closed, and Li Daosheng turned around to look at the two people hiding under the bed.

He did have some confidence.

Because just now, Ren Ou's voice appeared in his mind.

Not much content was sent...

"There is a consultation center at the gathering place, where everyone can ask one question every day."

Same room, same approach...

A bold guess popped up in Li Daosheng's mind.

On the stairs, footsteps were heard.

The hotel owner is the most suspicious murderer.

What will happen in a moment?
The deaths have occurred twice, and both times the process was almost exactly the same.

I asked the boss for hot water, and the boss brought water to my door. He knocked on the door, and after a few words of conversation, there was no movement, and the person was dead.

Among these steps, water is the most likely to cause problems.

Moreover, no hot water delivered by the boss was found at either death scene.

So...what about this time? "Knock knock knock..."

There was a knock on the door.

The three people in the room held their breath.

"Sir, the hot water you requested is here."

The door opened slowly.

Outside the door, a strange fog was spreading.

A figure can be vaguely seen in the fog.

Chen Qing and Wu Keyong could see everything clearly under the bed.

That figure is clearly a woman's figure!
How can this be the hotel manager?

The hotel manager is a man, but the thing in the mist is clearly a woman...

Although they couldn't see each other clearly, Wu Keyong and Chen Qing's breathing became rapid.

What should Li Daosheng do?
and many more……

If last night and just now, Sun Qianyun and Chu Ge saw a figure in the fog after opening the door, how could they have had a subsequent conversation?

I should have called out earlier and asked everyone to come over.

Sure enough, the mist thickened and the strange figure suddenly turned into a human being, it was Li Daosheng!
But... it's the back!

The fog stagnated noticeably. Apparently, "it" didn't expect that after opening the door, what it "saw" was not a human face, but the back of a person's head.

Li Daosheng turned his back to it, as if he had seen it, and asked aloud: "Owner, where is the hot water?"

"Why hasn't the hot water you promised been delivered yet?"

"This is your duty. You failed to manage the hotel properly and fulfill your job responsibilities. You have failed in your duty."

The fog surged wildly, and Chen Qing and Wu Keyong watched from under the bed, stunned.

What is this?
Is it a living thing?

A mist-like creature?

But why didn't it attack Li Daosheng?
What did Li Daosheng mean by those words?
Is it so effective to talk about work and responsibility when dealing with this kind of thing?
They couldn't understand it, but incomprehensible things were happening as a matter of course.

The surging mist was boiling like boiling water, and suddenly there was a "pop" sound.

A notebook fell to the ground.

The fog suddenly dissipated completely.

"Okay, you can come out now."

Li Daosheng said to the two people under the bed.

The two of them just felt a little dry in the mouth.

Although they watched the whole process, they still didn't understand what Li Daosheng did or why he did it.

But Li Daosheng squatted down and picked up the notebook on the ground.

After opening it, it was filled with... densely packed names.

Until he turned to the latest page, he held up the notebook and showed it to Wu Keyong and Chen Qing.

"It's Chu Ge and Sun Qianyun's names!"

Chen Qing looked at the notebook in disbelief.

"What does this... mean? A notebook that records the hotel manager's murders?"

Li Daosheng shook his head: "Maybe they are not dead yet."

"Look at the name on this notebook."

After handing the notebook over, the two of them closed it and took a look...

[Work Manual (I) Passenger Reception List]

what?
Is this the reception list?

Where did the foggy innkeeper take people?
"If there's Work Manual (1), there's (2). This is the only hotel in the gathering area, which means newcomers will inevitably stay here."

"They took their [something] away, leaving behind an empty shell. There were no external injuries, and it looked like it was dead."

"Where do you think the people who were taken away from the hotel will be sent to next?"

Li Daosheng raised a question.
