However, the changes have been going on for some time. I am afraid that even if the status quo is maintained, it will not be easy to find a way out.
An Yi put the remaining half of the toothpaste back into his bag and walked towards the stairs.
After going down the stairs, you can see the overall structure of the lobby on the first floor at a glance.
Enter through the main entrance of the Goethe Hotel and climb the stairs to reach the lobby. There is a front desk in the center of the lobby, and on both sides are some dining tables and benches for guests to use.
Then there are two staircases on the left and right leading to the second floor of the hotel. The polished stone floor looks very exquisite, but there is no carpet like the corridor of the guest rooms on the second floor.
With the faint moonlight, one wet reflection after another on the smooth stone floor caught An Yi's attention.
An Yi walked forward a few steps, then squatted down at one of the reflective spots and observed it carefully.
It's footprints...
A thought came to An Yi's mind. He remembered the frost on the thing and the water left behind as it melted.
He seemed to understand the pattern of that thing's appearance.
In addition to patrolling the corridor every few minutes, another rule is:
As long as you step on the water footprints left by this thing, it will discover you.
Because of the carpet and dim light in the corridor on the second floor, An Yi didn't notice the presence of footprints.
Occasionally, stepping on it will attract it to chase you.
"The footprints came down from the second floor..."
An Yi identified the direction of the footprints, and then looked in the direction they extended. He found that the footprints extended all the way to the gate of Goethe Hotel, and there was no sign of returning.
"Out? The one in the Goethe Hotel is its clone? No wonder it behaves so conservatively..."
Before he had time to rejoice, An Yi suddenly felt a chill in his heart and a horrifying scene constructed in his mind.
A creature covered in human skin sneaked in from the snowfield, saved "its" two daughters like a hero, then set up a desperate death cage and walked away, blending into the crowd of Beloberg.
Come to think of it, maybe this thing was responsible for the back alley in Beloberg.
The more An Yi thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible.
Are you kidding me? !
What the hell is this!
Soon, An Yi recovered from his shock.
Because as Tongzi pointed out, this happened in the past and the ending cannot be changed.
Now the only thing he can do is:
It was during this experience that we tried our best to give these twins who had suffered so much a perfect ending.
Thinking of this, An Yi did not hesitate and immediately began to look for the location of the switch along the wall.
After walking around and not finding the switch, he did not get discouraged.
Eliminating wrong answers means getting one step closer to the correct answer.
Moreover, he did not gain nothing, as he discovered a very strange phenomenon on the dining table on the right.
An Yi stood in front of a dining table.
This dining table doesn't fit in with its surroundings.
Although the style of the table is no different from the others, but...
It's so new, and all the furnishings on it are so new!
The white tablecloth was clean as new, spotless, while the tablecloths on the other tables had already turned slightly yellow.
There was a vase on the table with a bright red 'Marquise' flower in it, as if it had just been picked from a branch, but the flowers on the other tables had already shriveled.
What makes all this different…
An Yi's eyes fell on the exquisite brass candlestick on the dining table, with some white wax dripping underneath the candlestick.
Besides being a consumable item for activating The Shining, does this candle have other uses?
An Yi took the candlestick in his hand and looked at it carefully.
He found that the pattern was not symmetrical, as if it was only half carved.
"This candlestick should be the key prop. It looks like there should be another one. Take it first..."
An Yi opened her small shoulder bag and inserted the candlestick into it. Although this thing was a bit heavy, it was relatively small and could still be stuffed into the shoulder bag.
After putting away the candlestick, An Yi looked at a door behind the hotel front desk.
After eliminating the wrong options, the final correct option is revealed.
Although An Yi discovered this door very early, he did not go in immediately in order not to miss the clue of the existence of the hall.
This door does not exist in the original work. According to An Yi's speculation, it should be the kitchen.
The hotel's power switch is most likely in the room behind the door.
An Yi walked towards the door.
At this time, perhaps a dark cloud was passing by, or perhaps the environment had deteriorated.
The moonlight grew dimmer.
Suddenly, the dimming light had a serious impact on An Yi's vision.
He had to carefully observe the footprints on the ground to avoid attracting that thing to chase him.
And because An Yi was worried that the sound would attract that thing, he tried his best to control the sound of his footsteps.
The surroundings were eerily quiet.
But even in this extremely quiet situation, a heavy sound of footsteps gradually came from the second floor.
Boom--boom--
It was that thing. Its footsteps were very recognizable, with long intervals between them, and each step was very dull, like stepping on a person's chest, making it difficult to breathe.
"It has to be at this time..." An Yi was a little surprised and thought to himself that something was wrong.
Because this thing appeared three minutes earlier than the patrol time he calculated.
"broken……"
The lobby of the Goethe Hotel was too empty. Unlike the second floor of the hotel where one could quickly hide in a room, there was no place to hide around.
An Yi was standing right in the middle of the hall. As long as that thing pushed open the door, it would be able to see An Yi at a glance.
What's even worse is that the water footprints around An Yi are very dense, and one will step on them if he is not careful. Now he is in a dilemma.
There was no time to escape.
"What should we do? Fight?"
An Yi took out a hairpin from her bag, with the sharp tip facing downwards, and held it in her hand.
In fact, he knew in his heart that even if the thing stood still and let him stab it.
With the strength of this little girl, I'm afraid she can't even penetrate that layer of ice.
But, we can't just wait to die, right?
However, An Yi did not expect to cause any harm to that thing. He just wanted to delay for a while to see if there was a chance to escape back to the room on the second floor.
Just when An Yi was ready to take a gamble.
Ling Ke's shining news has arrived.
Chapter 4: How dare you show off your skills in front of an expert! (k)
"Brother Anyi, put the candle in the candlestick and light it. The candlelight can protect you."
"be quick!"
"It's coming down!"
Lingke's voice was urgent.
After hearing this, An Yi did as he was told without any hesitation.
He knew that his premonition was right. The candle that he had left at the door of the second-floor room was indeed picked up by Lingke.
Lingke's inspiration is stronger than mine, she must have seen a glimpse of the future.
Moreover, An Yi also had some guesses about the effect of using candles and candlesticks in combination.
He remembered what had just happened.
After the candlesticks were taken away from the dining table, the flowers on the table immediately withered and shriveled.
It's like two different worlds...
creak-
Just as An Yi took out the candle and put it on the candlestick, the door leading to the corridor of the rooms on the second floor opened.
An Yi felt that the temperature of the air was dropping rapidly.
Through his previous experience of dealing with that thing, An Yi knew that this was a sign of being discovered by that thing.
But I don’t know if it was because An Yi was holding the candlestick in his hand, or if that thing decided to show mercy and let An Yi go.
That thing did not chase him from the front as An Yi had imagined.
Instead, he took two steps back and then disappeared into the darkness.
"Gone? What happened?"
Seeing this scene, An Yi was completely confused and hesitated as he was about to light the candle.
Because candles are very precious, you should try to save them if you can.
"Brother An Yi, candles!"
Ling Ke’s words immediately set off alarm bells in An Yi’s heart.
Without caring about saving money, he hurriedly struck a match and lit the candle.
Sure enough, the next moment the candle was lit.
A blurry figure appeared behind An Yi, and the sharp ice pick in his hand suddenly chopped down without warning.
Feeling the strong wind from the ice axe, An Yi had no doubt:
With this force, just one strike would kill this poor little Loli.
But Anyi did not dodge.
Because this thing can reappear in the footprints it leaves behind at any time, there is no point in running or hiding if you can't escape its hatred range.
Using this ability against a little girl is simply a foul.
The last hope is this lit candle.
Trust Lingke and your own judgement, and pray that it works as it should.
Thinking of this, An Yi used her little hands to cover the flickering flame of the candle to prevent it from being blown out by the strong wind.
Swah——
He looked at the dripping ice pick as it slid across his body without any hindrance.
It was like passing through a cloud of air.
"This experience is quite novel." An Yi stood there unharmed, and he raised his head.
The tall figure has now returned to his aimless wandering posture, as if he can't see An Yi.
Having lost its target, it returned to the corridor on the second floor, and the coldness also faded away.
"So this is your ability, no wonder... Now it's my turn!"
As the candles on the candlesticks were lit, the environment of the Goethe Hotel changed wherever the candlelight shone.
An Yi looked at the environment that suddenly became fresh and bright, and the clues in his mind naturally connected together.
When he first entered this story mission, An Yi felt strange, because as the largest hotel in the Beloberg administrative district, it was impossible for the Goethe Hotel to have no customers at all. This was not normal.
