Chapter 48 - Trouble (1/2)
From the very beginning, Li Chi Yu didn’t leave his room. Since the moment he opened the door, he had remained standing at the door.
He didn’t know why but he just felt that something bad would happen if he went out.
Li Chi Yu continued: “Did someone also knock on your door?”
Su Min nodded: “It impersonated your voice, so I asked you in the group chat. You were in your room at that time.”
Hearing this, Li Chi Yu felt his hair rise.
Something had impersonated him and then it impersonated Le Ling while knocking on his door – It might be a terrifying-looking ghost with mask of his face.
Li Chi Yu spoke fearfully: “It’s so scary.”
Su Min said: “It is indeed scary.”
That unknown thing was scarier than the corpse in the fish tank and the corpse inside the vase. They didn’t even know what their intentions were.
Jiang Taozhi heard the commotion outside and opened the door: “What are you guys doing?”
Li Chi Yu repeated everything that had happened again. Hearing it, her expression changed: “………You guys aren’t impersonators, right?”
If all three of them before her are impersonators, then she may faint from fear.
Su Min said helplessly: “Of course we’re not.”
Jiang Taozhi trembled: “Then when Li Chi Yu opened the door and didn’t see anything, could it have slipped into the room?”
It wasn’t impossible.
Li Chi Yu was startled by her words. He turned around and looked in his room. The lights were on and it was the same as usual.
Su Min guessed: “Maybe something will go wrong if you go out.”
There used to be a legend that if you opened the door for a devil, it would either kill you directly or take you away.
Something that would trick them into opening the door would possibly even take over their body the moment the door is opened.
“Fortunately, I didn’t go out.” Li Chi Yu felt that he was very lucky, “Le Ling, you shouldn’t have come over.”
Le Ling was expressionless, “It’s nothing.”
Su Min was curious about Le Ling’s identity in this horror movie, but he still hasn’t had the chance to find out. Perhaps it would be revealed at the end and play a role in the finale.
Everything they said were just speculations and the truth couldn’t be reached. In the end, they could only come to one conclusion ——– Don’t go out.
Jiang Taozhi said hesitantly: “The sky isn’t dark yet. Let’s hurry and get something to eat.”
Su Min said: “Let’s go together. This place is a bit unsafe so it’s best if the four of us went together.”
When they reached the first floor, they heard a loud commotion.
After exiting the corridor, they saw a group of people berating the hotel and cursing at the staff and organisers.
There were originally just a few people but later a group joined them.
Su Min listened to them and found out that the reason for their anger was because someone that came with them had gone missing and they couldn’t find that person in the hotel.
It was a little different to what he had thought. He didn’t expect so many people to go missing. Afterall, they had only found two bodies.
The woman at the front desk stared blankly at the group.
Le Ling said: “You won’t get a solution like this.”
As soon as she spoke, a pale-faced man suddenly came in. His expression was exactly the same as the woman at the front desk.
The people in the hall stopped arguing for a moment.
Everyone stared at the pale-faced man. He didn’t know what he was doing here.
The pale-faced man didn’t move. Eventually, they started to argue again.
“I came here to watch the show but now my wife is missing. Can I get an explanation from the hotel?”
“I will definitely make a complaint after I get out. What is this rubbish hotel? You can’t even get out!”
“Where’s the person in charge? Is that person dead? Why haven’t they come out yet? This hotel can’t even make a call out to the police. Are you trying to kill us?”
“………………”
The arguments got louder and louder until the pale-faced man suddenly moved. He grabbed the loudest in the group and dragged him out the hotel.
The crowd saw the two leave together but the person that was dragged out never appeared again. It was as if he had disappeared.
Jiang Tao Zhi who saw this was frightened.
After this incident, the crowd slowly dispersed and went back upstairs. They no longer wished to stay downstairs.
As for the missing person, they didn’t care for him at all.
The four of them stood at the end of the corridor and was a long distance away from the people in the hall so they were safe.
He had a small thought, “He might have been thrown out of the hotel. That fog might have eaten him up.”
Except for the audience, the remaining people in the hotel were the staff and front desk. Every one of them looked like pale corpses.
Su Min was a little uncomfortable at first, but he had become used to it.
And they haven’t done anything to them yet, so they are very fortunate. Those that cursed out the staff will definitely suffer from horrible consequences.
Though he also wanted to say a few bad things.
Li Chi Yu said: “I thought that with the disappearance of the driver, there would only be the front desk woman herself left. I didn’t expect there to be another one.”
He didn’t know where he came from. Perhaps there were more of them in this hotel.
Su Min: “That is not the main point. As long as you don’t provoke them, they won’t hurt us. The main point is how we’re going to leave this place.”
Li Chi Yu let out a cry: “The fog outside this hotel is a little scary. It’s impossible getting out of the hotel without running into it.”
When he only stuck out his arm, the fog rushed over to envelop him.
Le Ling suddenly spoke up: “Since it is a show ticket, we probably will need to watch the show. The breakthrough might be during the performance.”
Su Min nodded: “In other words, everything that’s happening in the hotel are just appetisers.”
If that show really does exist, it is very likely something dangerous.
But it was also likely that this horror movie didn’t even have a show in the first place and that it was all just a gimmick. In the end, it could turn out to be just a movie revolving around the hotel.
Perhaps it is a Battle Royale or Hunger Game type of movie.
“Battle Royale’ was a movie Su Min watched a long time ago. An officer left a class of students on a deserted island to fight for survival.
