can't go wild

After walking through the small house in the style of fairy tales, the two entered the dwarf kingdom.The buildings here are very low, almost submerged in the grass, and occasionally some are exposed outside. The layers are like a cat climbing frame, which is probably a place for children to play.

Going further, you can see a suspension bridge, which can lead to the island in the middle of the lake, and the hotel is on the island.There are four of the same bridges across the island, one in each district, evenly distributed, so the question now is whether to continue exploring the four districts, or to go directly to the hotel.

Such a situation made Xiangye think of Guanshuitan and his parents, his eyes dimmed.

Xing Zhou quickly made a decision, such a big hotel is too eye-catching.If Chen Junyang and Chen Juntao came in, they would definitely go there to investigate, and according to the drawings sent by Juming, the central control room of the entire amusement park was also there.

The two quickly went to the direction of the suspension bridge, only to find that half of the boards on the suspension bridge had already fallen off due to the perennial wind and sun.The remaining half, when you step on it, creaks and is always in danger of breaking.

The railings of the bridge are made of iron chains. Although they are a little rusty, they are still well preserved.Aino touched the ashes on it with his hand, and said, "They passed by the chain."

With the skills of Chen Junyang and Chen Juntao, it is absolutely possible to cross the bridge on the iron chain.This can also explain why the ashes on the iron chain were wiped off, but there was not even a footprint on the wooden board.

Aino couldn't do it yet, but he could get through by holding on to the iron chain and carefully choosing a strong plank to walk on.What's more, there is Xing Zhou thundering ahead.

The total length of the suspension bridge is only 30 meters, and the two of them walked two-thirds of the way without much nonsense.Victory was in sight, but Aino frowned. There was no other reason, it was too smooth.

They have already traveled far away from the distance where the twins' signals disappeared, but they haven't encountered anything, and Cassia is still chattering in the headset, going smoothly as if this place is really just an abandoned amusement park.

Having settled down, Aino set foot on the island in the middle of the lake, and followed Xing Zhou to the entrance of the hotel.

The hotel is a European-style castle, the door is ajar, not closed.Xing Zhou stepped forward to push the door, and the light of the flashlight swept across the floor tiles.The smooth tiles were covered with a thick layer of dust, and two rows of clear footprints stretched from the door to the stairs.

The entire hall is magnificent, with a hollow design, and a huge crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling.Looking up, there are murals on the ceiling and surrounding walls, but they are all common Western-style murals, which don't look special.

The staircase is located directly in front, which is almost the standard configuration of castle-style hotels. A huge staircase leads to the second floor, and the footprints of the twins are finally separated here.The smaller ones went to the left, and the larger ones went to the right.

Xing Zhou and Xiang Ye did not separate, and followed the footprints of the older Chen Junyang to the right.Turning the corner on the right is a corridor. Chen Junyang entered the first room, then came out of the room, and searched almost all the rooms in this row.

Aino and Xing Zhou looked at each other, then pushed open the first door and walked in.

Inside is an ordinary hotel room. The decoration style of more than ten years ago is not very fashionable today, but it is not very outdated.In addition, the quilt was neatly laid out, it didn't look like someone had slept on it, and there was a plush toy produced by Dream Island on the back, and a layer of dust had already fallen on it.

Aino carefully checked every corner, and even knelt on one knee to look under the bed, but found nothing.Judging from the distribution of footsteps, Chen Junyang should just come in and take a look.

Maybe even he himself didn't know what he was looking for?

At this moment, Xing Zhou came out of the bathroom and said, "I found nothing, let's go."

Aino followed, and the two quickly searched the room according to Chen Junyang's route, and finally found that his footprints had disappeared on the balcony of a room on the second floor.

"Did he jump?" Aino asked.

"No, he went up." Xing Zhou pointed out the direction for Aino with a flashlight, and saw a not-so-obvious scratch on the corner of the balcony on the third floor, as if it was accidentally brought out when climbing up.

The hotel has a total of four floors, and there is an attic above the fourth floor, and above that is a sloping roof.

Xing Zhou followed Chen Junyang's trail and climbed up to the roof, then turned around and pulled Xiangye up.When both of them stood still on the roof and looked far away, the stars all over the sky and the winding river in the distance came into view.

Mingchuan is a small non-industrialized city, and Mengzhidao is located on the outskirts of the city, so the air here is very good, and the night sky is also very clear.If you ignore the fact that this place has been deserted like a ghost, it is actually a good place.

This is also the tallest building within a radius of ten miles. Standing on the roof and looking out, the view is excellent.

"Mingchuan." Xiangye looked at the river in the distance that was slightly reflecting under the moonlight, and was slightly fascinated. "It is said in the information that Mingchuan's Ming was also pronounced as Ming by the older generation. deep."

Ming Chuan?Mingchuan?

Xing Zhou thought about it carefully, but it is important to find someone now, not the time to enjoy the scenery.He searched for Chen Junyang's footprints again, and found that he went down from the other side, and was about to ask Aino to leave, when he turned around——

There are no people on the empty roof.

"Cassia?" Xing Zhou shook the flashlight tightly.

"I'm here, what's wrong? Did you find someone?" Cassia Ming's voice sounded immediately, which made Xing Zhou's brows furrow even more.The communication was not interrupted, so where did Aino go?

It's still in the corridor that turns right, inside the first door.

After checking the bottom of the bed, Aino knelt on one knee and called Xing Zhou back, but no one answered.He remembered that Xing Zhou went to the bathroom to check, and hurried over, but saw that the bathroom was empty, and there was no sign of Xing Zhou.

"Cassy?" Aino frowned.

"I'm here, I'm here!" Jueming responded, "Did you find any clues!"

"Xing Zhou is gone." Xiangye said.

"Damn it." Jue Ming's heart skipped a beat, "The boss is usually the most cautious, how could he suddenly disappear? Are you sure there is no one around?"

"No." Aino replied, looking at the bathroom carefully.Sinks, toilets, and bathtubs are not places where people can hide.

There are no windows here, the walls are solid, and the ventilation duct at the top is so small that Xing Zhou can't get through it.There was no trace of him going out on the ground, but he just disappeared out of thin air.

"Damn, I can't contact him anymore! Isn't this the same as Yangyang and Taozi? They disappeared suddenly without warning. This is not right, and I have encountered a hard problem. I think it is probably an illusion, an illusion, or a knot Realm and the like, anyway, those things, what it is, I can’t see it if I’m not there. And even the boss doesn’t notice it, the other party must have a lot of knowledge. Now that the boss is not here, you have to be careful , Please, please protect yourself." Caesar's voice was full of worry, as if he could not wait to appear next to Aino in the next second.

At this moment, Aino suddenly thought of something and turned on the faucet.

Caesar heard the faint sound of water and asked, "What's wrong? Water? Is there still water in the hotel? Is it a water tank? Wait, stand back, it's like this in horror movies. It's bloody!"

"No." Aino said calmly, "It's clean water."

Jue Ming: "Eh? It was a false alarm."

Aino: "This proves that there are indeed people living in the hotel. Otherwise, if the pipes are rusted, even if there is still water flowing out, it must be dirty water at first."

Cassia: "That's right."

Aino walked quickly back to the corridor, looked at the string of footprints belonging to Chen Junyang in the corridor, and narrowed his eyes slightly.This hotel is very strange, it is obviously occupied by people, but there is dust everywhere, it doesn't look like there are people moving around, and there are only footprints of outsiders like them on the ground.

At this moment, Xing Zhou was not around, and it was pitch black all around, no matter how bold Aino was, he couldn't help but get goosebumps.He took a deep breath, clutched the flashlight tightly and walked forward again.

There was an echo in the empty corridor.

That was the sound of his footsteps, other than that, the surrounding area was eerily silent.Aino could feel his heart beating faster, and a little cold sweat broke out on his back, but he could only bear it.

"Xing Zhou?" He tentatively called out again, but still no one answered.

Cassia has been chatting with him intimately, alleviating his anxiety to a certain extent.But in such an environment, Aino's heart still rose to his throat.

There was another corner at the end of the corridor. Xiangye looked over and found that it was a back-shaped corridor, and the two sides were connected.He walked halfway forward and saw Chen Juntao's footprints.

At this moment, Aino's left was the hotel room, and his right was the entrance to the stairwell.Once inside there are two elevators facing each other and a door leading to the stairs.

Chen Juntao took the stairs, and she went downstairs.

Aino thought for a while, instead of following her, he opened the elevator.Because he found that the elevator was powered on, and only it was powered on in the entire hotel.

"Ding!" The elevator door opened, and the familiar light returned to the world.Aino bravely walked into the bright elevator, glanced sideways, and saw that there were five buttons -1, 1, 2, 3, and 4.

After a moment of hesitation, Aino pressed "3".

Soon after going from the 2nd floor to the 3rd floor, the elevator door opened, but Aino's body stiffened when he entered the destination.A piece of wood was nailed to the exit of the elevator in a haphazard manner, leaving only a few gaps for people to see the situation outside.

It was a dark corridor, and the flashlight shone through it, which seemed to be similar to the second floor, but why was it sealed?

What the hell happened in this hotel?

When people stand in a bright place and look at the darkness, it is always extraordinarily permeating.Aino didn't think that he would break the board and rush out to find out. He closed the elevator door again and went back to the second floor.

This time he chose the stairs.

Before going upstairs, he specifically confirmed the floor he was on. When he reached the third floor, he went out to check the house number, only to find that it was still the second floor.

What about the 3nd floor?

Aino didn't believe in evil, mustered all his strength, turned around and went back to the stairs to continue walking up.He walked up two floors in one breath, and then walked around to the corridor to have a look—it was still on the second floor!

He immediately turned around and rushed out, looking down, Chen Juntao's footprints were still there.He quickly followed the footprints down, walked one floor and found that there was another floor, one floor after another, and it was still the second floor.

Ghost hit the wall.

Panting for breath, Aino looked at the darkness around him again, his spirit already tense.He kept telling himself to calm down, retreat slowly, retreat to the corridor on the second floor, and return according to the original route.

This time it went smoothly, he successfully ran out of the corridor and returned to the hollow hall.

The light of the flashlight kept shaking as he ran, and Aino had already drawn out the gun with his other hand.His gun was placed in a small satchel on his waist, which was easy to carry and not easy to attract others' attention.

But just when the shaking light shone on the huge mural in front of him, the crisp sound of "Dingling, Dingling" came suddenly.The sound was like a wind chime, but it was dense and connected into a string.

Aino reacted immediately, and the light swept to the huge crystal lamp hanging in the hall.

A pair of golden vertical pupils came into view.

In an instant, Aino's blood flowed backwards, and his hands and feet were cold.It was a cat, a pure black cat, staring at Aino with unblinking pupils, like a silent torture.

And just as Aino regained his composure, it suddenly jumped from the crystal chandelier to the third floor.It stood on the railing on the third floor, looked back at Aino, then jumped down and disappeared.

3th floor.

What on earth is on the 3rd floor?

Aino asked again: "Jaeming, have you contacted Xing Zhou yet?"

Cassia's voice was full of frustration, "No, there is no response."

Aino gritted his teeth, he couldn't find Xing Zhou, and it was impossible for him to evacuate here, so he could only take one step at a time.He turned around again, opened a door at random and dragged a chair out, then walked into the elevator and pressed the number 3 button.

"Ding!" The elevator opened, and it was still the blocked entrance.

Aino picked up the chair and slammed it down hard, and the wooden board broke with a "click". He raised his foot and kicked it up, successfully breaking through a passage.At this time, it was too late to be afraid, Aino broke into the corridor, and the lights swept across the room numbers.

That's right, the third floor.

But the third floor is completely different from the second floor except for the blackness.He was in the elevator just now, and his vision was limited, so he didn't notice it.When you walk in, you will see that there are bloodstains everywhere.

Like a splash-ink painting, the dark red ones are everywhere.

And the footprints of other people that Aino has been unable to find are all here.The light swept over, and I saw bloody footprints all over the ground, big and small, messy and in different shades.In addition, there are many traces of dragging, and there are many fingerprints on the walls, doors, and corners.

It was as if someone had grabbed the wall or the door frame with force, but was dragged away mercilessly in the end.

With so many traces, it is absolutely impossible for one person to leave them.
