Chapter 523 - The Last Secret at the Hotel (2/2)

‘1st April. I’ve been hungry for so long. I need to escape this place. Right, I’ll sneak out tonight.

‘2nd April. I was discovered, and we had a fight. The madman is so scary when he’s angry. Like a crazed brown bear, he tackled me and pulled out my teeth.

‘5th May. So hungry. I’ll be tortured to my death if I stay here. I must find a way to leave!

‘6th June. Who can save me? My husband is a devil. He tried to pull out all of my teeth, this insane man!

‘1st November. I will never taste meat again. So hungry, so hungry…’

The content of the notebook was very weird. On the surface, it recorded the madness the old man when he was young, but after reading it closer, Chen Ge realized that things were not so simple. However, before he could figure it out, another gunshot went off again. Then three options appeared on screen—’You finished reading the diary of the old man’s view and found out the hotel’s biggest secret. Please choose one of the following to bring with you, the item that you think is most important.’

1. You choose the rusted key because you believe that this is the spare key to the hotel entrance.

2. You choose the human teeth because you believe they are valuable mementoes.

3. You choose the notebook because you believe it is hiding an important clue.

Looking at the options, Chen Ge frowned. “Fan Chong, have you been given these choices before?”

“Yes, these three options pop out after you open the drawer. Back then, I chose the hotel key because you can enter and leave the hotel whenever you want with it even if it’s locked.” Fan Chong thought about it before shaking his head. He had a feeling that he might be thinking the same thing as Chen Ge this time.

“Looks like we can remove option one.” Chen Ge seemed to be talking to himself. The cursor alternated between option two and three.

“Let’s choose three. The notebook probably has its unique usage. I’ve seen many scary movies, and the notebook usually contains a message left behind by the murderer or victim.” Fan Dade could only use his own life experience to make the choice.

“The notebook is indeed important, but haven’t we already read its content?” Hearing what Fan Dade said, Chen Ge shook his head and chose the second option.

“The teeth? What use could they have?” Fan Dade and Fan Chong were confused, but they did not dare challenge Chen Ge openly, so they just whispered among themselves.

“It should be the teeth,” Chen Ge explained. “When the options showed up, the question also attached the statement, ‘you finished reading the diary of the old man’s view and found out the hotel’s biggest secret.’”

“But what can that prove?” Fan Chong still thought the key was the most important.

“The biggest secret at the hotel is about the old man’s wife. In other words, the reason the hotel has become like this is because of his wife.” Chen Ge used the cursor to click on the notebook to read it again.

“The old man’s wife should be innocent.” Fan Dade also could not understand Chen Ge’s choice. “Both her husband and her son are maniacs. She was captured, detained, and had her teeth pulled out. She was tortured; she was just a victim.”
