Chapter 45 - Vase (1/2)
From the corridor, you could see most of the lobby but, because the angle is limited, you can only see one part of it. This gave people a strange feeling.
It’s as if you’re walking down the corridor upstairs and, despite seeing that there is space further on, it is blocked by a window.
Ji Chi Yu asked as they walked: “Should we go upstairs now?”
Su Min looked ahead and thought for a moment before saying: “Why don’t you guys go up first. I’ll explore around a little.”
He didn’t see what the bald man saw earlier, and he wanted to check. Perhaps it may lead him to a clue of some sort.
Jiang Taozhi said: “Why don’t we go together? There’s nothing to do in the room anyway. This hotel has a courtyard and a fountain outside.”
Su Min said: “We can go together if you want.”
Le Ling didn’t say anything the entire time but she also didn’t seem to be against it.
After walking to the end of the lobby, it is the hall. At this moment, there is a pair of people asking something at the front desk but the woman sitting there didn’t move or say anything. She just continued to stare at them.
In the end, those people got a little angry.
But it was as if the lady at the front desk had no emotions. Her expression never changed. She seemed as if the person they’re angry at wasn’t her.
Li Chi Yu muttered: “This front desk lady is really scary.”
Since last night until now, her expression never changed. He didn’t know if she’s a human or a ghost.
Le Ling suddenly said: “The driver from earlier was the same as her. They only exist for check in.”
Su Min looked at her and had another guess.
Le Ling seemed to be quite familiar with this and everything that she said was the same as his thoughts.
The driver and the woman at the front desk probably aren’t living humans. To be more accurate, they’re probably the living dead.
The living dead here are also not zombies. An existence like this in a horror movie isn’t strange. This is the same for dead people. The front desk woman and the driver had no other role apart from registration and driving. It was just their character design.
The main culprit behind all this wasn’t them.
Li Chi Yu stared for a long time and asked: “If I go over and cause a disturbance, do you think she would react?”
Su Min said: “……….You can try it.”
Le Ling side-eyed him: “You might get thrown out of the hotel by her.”
Su Min also thought this could be the case. He feared that the front desk woman would suddenly explode and then throw Li Chi Yu outside. There is definitely something dangerous awaiting out there.
Being mocked like this, Li Chi Yu asked curiously, “Why did the bald man run off and then come back again?”
And when he ran back, he seemed to be very scared.
Su Min said: “You will need to ask him that to know.”
Speaking of the guests here, Li Chi Yu thought of the man that was thrown to the floor by Le Ling. He felt very refreshed inside.
Afterall, he himself didn’t get thrown. She didn’t even give him a particularly bad attitude. He felt certain that he had taken a big step and the future looked bright.
Li Chi Yu was very happy, but he naturally didn’t dare say anything.
Jiang Taozhi who was in her own thoughts searched through her phone. She then said: “There are no delivery services in this damned place. Looks like we will have to eat the hotel food for lunch too. I wonder if there are anything nice. The food this morning wasn’t very good.”
Su Min: “…………..”
Seeing that she ate so much, it didn’t seem like it tasted bad at all.
Jiang Taozhi looked up: “Sigh.”
Su Min and them silently looked at each other.
After a while, Jiang Taozhi once again broke the silence, “It’s so boring staying in this hotel. We don’t even know when the show is going to start. What’s the point of staying here for so long. This show is too unprofessional……..”
For the first time, Su Min felt the effects of a gossipy person.
But Jiang Taozhi didn’t give others an unpleasant feeling. In fact, everything she said was reasonable and she also seemed very accepting.
Seeing that she wanted to continue speaking, Li Chi Yu quickly stopped her: “We should be notified when it’s time. They wouldn’t make us stay here the whole time.”
Especially since the tickets were so expensive.
Su Min said: “Anyway, I think it’s best not to go out too long and not to go around alone. This hotel is quite big.”
He knew that he has Chen Su with him but the others don’t so they would practically be fated to die.
Su Min didn’t want all of them to come together to the hotel and then end up with him alone at the end. Such an experience would be equivalent to not experiencing the movie.
He still didn’t know what happened to that scream from last night. There was also the incident involving the kelp and the headless corpse in the restaurant.
Only they were left standing in the hotel lobby.
The woman at the front desk faced the computer and didn’t pay any attention to them.
Jiang Taozhi was a phone addict. After she finally stored away her phone, she exclaimed in a quiet voice: “That person is so skinny.”
Su Min looked over and saw that it was Xu Jian from last night. The plump woman he saw next to him that night wasn’t there.
Despite the fact that he was silent and not acting any different, Su Min felt that something wasn’t right, but he couldn’t put a finger on it.
Li Chi Yu saw Su Min staring at him and asked: “Do you know him?”
Su Min nodded: “Yes. I saw him last night.”
He briefly mentioned what he saw last night.
Li Chi Yu was shocked: “That doesn’t sound like a couple at all. How can they interact like that?”
Perhaps it’s because he has never been in a relationship before.
Xu Jian didn’t notice their stares and turned into the restaurant. His tall and thin figure left behind a deep impression.
