Chapter 520 - Hotel (2/2)

“Don’t be fooled by his façade; this mad man has killed all the guests in his hotel. After you check in, there’s no checking out.” Fan Chong’s voice was trembling—this hotel owner had given him quite a deep mental scar.

“Tell me when the owner will go mad—at least I can be prepared.”

“I didn’t receive a room card. When I arrived at the hotel, the owner kindly gave me a free room.” Fan Chong started to explain his experience. “I stayed quietly in my room, thinking that I’d just stay there until dawn. However, several minutes later, the room door creaked open. I saw the owner standing outside the door with a cleaver. The insane thing was that he did not move, and he had a smile on his face. If you ignore him, he will open the door wider and wider until he charges into the room and stabs you!”

“That scary?” Chen Ge clicked on the screen. The owner had asked him whether he had a room card or not. Chen Ge clicked on the backpack and showed the card for Room 4, which he had taken from the man in the raincoat. The owner glanced at the card and told Chen Ge that there would be supper at midnight, and he hoped that all the guests would come.

“Supper at midnight? Are the ingredients the guests?” Chen Ge turned back to look at Fan Chong. “Have you experienced this scenario before?”

“I didn’t possess the room card, so our plot is completely different. I have seen all the other tenants, but when I saw them, they were already dead.” Fan Chong shrugged helplessly. He wanted to help Chen Ge, but he could not.

“What do you know about the other guests?” Chen Ge was quite surprised; this was an important find. “Tell me everything you know. Perhaps I can cooperate with the other tenants to find a way out.”

“The owner’s father has Room 1. There is a picture of him and the owner in his room. The man seems to possess the spare keys for all the room. There’s a woman in Room 2; she has a revealing outfit on, and if I’m not mistaken, she’s a woman of the night. Room 3 has a student who carries a school bag, and there’s a phone inside the bag. Room 4 is empty. Room 5 has a guest wearing a police uniform, but it’s unclear whether he’s a real cop or a fake one.”

“There’s even a police officer?” Chen Ge nodded. Fan Chong had given him plenty of clues.

“If there are other guests, the chance of surviving tonight has gotten much bigger.” He controlled Xiao Bu to go the room, but once he closed the door, there was a gun shot. Then the chat box popped up—’You heard the sound of gunfire. There seems to have been a murder at the hotel. What will you do?’

1. Find the owner to ask what happened.

2. Find the police to ask for his help.

3. Ignore them and go to bed.

The cursor wandered back and forth between the three choices, and Chen Ge prepared to choose the third choice after some hesitation.

“Why would you go to sleep at a time like this‽” Fan Chong quickly stopped Chen Ge. “Don’t be reckless. This third choice is rather weird, and I fear it might affect the future plot.”

“There’s no need to think. The gunshot came from the hunting rifle, so it should be the owner who fired it. The first choice is a dead end.”

“Then, we can go find the police!”

“What police?” Chen Ge picked the third choice. “The owner only has one bullet in his rifle, and in these circumstances, he will definitely kill the police. In fact, he might be at the police officer’s room now.”

“The owner is inside the police officer’s room?”

“You need to see this from the perspective of the killer. The police officer might have a gun, and after obtaining that, he can continue to massacre the rest of the hotel guests. So other than the third choice, the other two are not acceptable.” Chen Ge controlled Xiao Bu to open the door of Room 4 and run to Room 1, which was furthest from the police officer’s room.
