Throne of Radiance
Chapter 45 Interludes IX
This is a hotel that looks like it has seen ages.
The old gray and white walls are a little peeling, and the half-closed door has begun to peel off the paint. There is a warm yellow light shining through the crack of the door, blending with the noon sun.
In the depths of this supposedly remote and narrow alley, this hotel that suddenly appeared was "stuck" against the wall in an unreasonable posture, like an elephant being stuffed into the belly of a snake, and it was still there. Without breaking the snake's belly, it visually presents an absurd and weird sense of space disorder.
When the people from the Supernatural Affairs Investigation Bureau arrived at their destination after a nearly three-hour flight, what they saw was such a picture that surpassed reality and common sense.
"Yes! This is it! This is the hotel!"
Before they could react, one person was the first to call out. He pointed tremblingly at the half-open hotel door in front of him. The expression on his face was a mixture of emotions such as excitement, excitement, anxiety, fear, and horror.
He looked at the gate like an ignorant mortal seeing the open gates of heaven or hell!
In the end, he waved his fist and swears fiercely: "—I just said that I am not mistaken, I will never forget it in my fucking life! This is here! That night, that demon was terribly threatened here. I!"
This overly emotional man, named Han Mingshan, has always played the role of a small person in his life for more than 30 years. He is a waste in the eyes of his relatives and friends, a drunkard, a gambler, and a worthless coward.If there is no accident, he will continue to play such a role in the future.
The only accident in his life was that rainy night three months ago, when he stepped into this alley in the heavy rain and pushed open the door of a hotel.
This made him experience unprecedented fear for the first time, the first time he dealt with the police as a non-suspect, the first time he met with visitors from another world, and now he created the first time since the establishment of the Supernatural Affairs Bureau.
——This is the first time they have invited an ordinary person who is not a member of the Supernatural Affairs Bureau to face a supernatural event as a witness.
Now, they got the answer they wanted to know from Han-san's reaction - that's where K first appeared.
Li Fufeng next to him provided further reliable evidence for his statement: "I think what he said is correct, this is the hotel I saw with my own eyes at that time, even if it only passed away in a flash."
"hiss--"
Except for Han Shan, who was still confused, everyone else inevitably took a breath, and made a contribution to the global warming of Zhanlanxing within their capabilities.
If they guessed correctly, this ancient hotel is likely to be a part from another world. At the moment when the space-time disorder occurred and an abnormal node appeared, not only K himself, but the entire hotel came to this time-space.
As for why the hotel disappeared and reappeared later, they didn't have a completely correct answer, and they could only use "time and space instability" as a reference.
Compared with the last time when Li Fufeng came over, it only appeared for a moment, today the hotel has been discovered for more than three hours, which can be called a very long time.
But to say whether it is possible to disappear again, just think about the situation where it appeared on the rainy night for the first time and disappeared during the next day. This may obviously happen.
After all, "time and space are unstable".There is no guarantee that this magical hotel will be here for long from now on.
Therefore, they must hurry up and explore this magical hotel before it disappears again.
And this obviously requires some risk.
——If space-time fluctuation happens again during the exploration, the explorer may disappear with the hotel.
After such an analysis, everyone in the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs Investigation finally fully understands the risks involved, but they also know that this is a rare opportunity to understand the extraordinary and understand the different world.
They sent volunteers.
As a member of the Supernatural Affairs Investigation Bureau, Li Fufeng didn't need to do such pathfinding cannon fodder work, but he really couldn't resist the curiosity deep in his heart.
The image of the hotel that flashed in front of him that day had already left a deep impression on him, making him full of desire to explore the other side of this ordinary world. It was directly saying that he was qualified, which made Li Fufeng even more eager to move, unwilling to let go of any opportunity to spy on supernatural things.
And even more so for others.
They pushed open the half-hidden door, and everything on the first floor of the hotel was immediately exposed to everyone's eyes without reservation.
The bright sunlight at noon came in directly, reflecting the blood stains all over the ground and the two corpses lying in the blood stains.
They were even more careful than protecting the scene of the crime, and walked into the hotel without causing any damage.
Outdated decoration, old TVs of unknown brands, old-fashioned sofas that have never been seen before, wooden floors leading directly to the second floor, and the rooms on the second floor that are decorated in a style different from that of Azure Star. Besides, there are rooms belonging to the owner's house and various household items... The specially dispatched scouting elite did not miss any details, even if it was just an old newspaper in the toilet.
And all these details made everyone amazed.
The building materials of the hotel, the decoration style of the building, the powerful sleeping pills that are different from any sleeping pills on the market, the external shapes and internal structures of various home appliances, various unknown trademarks, and news from old newspapers... ...All the details are telling everyone that they indeed come from a world similar to but different from Zhanlan Star. Even if it is just an outdated hotel, it is enough to provide too much valuable information for the Detective Department.
——In other words, everything about the other world is of unimaginable value to the current Yao Kingdom.
The eyes of the accompanying researchers were glistening.
Materials science, architecture, chemistry, human history... There are too many aspects for them to study.
The Department of Detecting Mysteries, or the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs Investigation immediately began to mobilize experts and scholars from all walks of life, involving all aspects, to conduct a cocoon-like analysis of this different world that has exposed the tip of the iceberg.
And these analyzes are clearly not a one-day effort.
At the moment, almost everyone's attention was attracted by the two corpses in the hall on the first floor.
"Based on my experience, the death time of these two corpses definitely did not exceed three hours!" Yin Xubai squatted on the ground, staring at the two corpses as if looking at the most beautiful lover, full of obsession and fanaticism, " Incredible, incredible!"
He repeated it twice in succession.
——Everyone knows what Yin Xubai meant by "unbelievable".
According to the current clues to connect the time, on the night of June 6, when Han Shan accidentally broke into the hotel, he found K and the two bodies in the hotel. If there is no accident, this should be the time when K came to this world. .
So the two bodies were already dead at that time.
And after three months, they are still so fresh and intact, Yin Xubai's judgment is that the time of death is not more than three hours - no one doubts that he will make a wrong judgment, even if it is an idiot We all know that it is impossible for a body that has been dead for three months to be preserved so well-how can this not be shocking?
Yin Xubai went on to say: "Not only did the corpse die within three hours, but also the blood stains around the corpse, as well as the traces that were obviously left by rain, including the dust that didn't exist around here, and the traces of life on the second floor... ...I can assure you that even if you find the most professional appraisal experts to appraise it, you will be able to identify it. This is not a house that has not been lived in for three months. In fact, it seems that people have lived here all the time. It’s like I was still here the day before.”
"You mean... the time here is frozen?"
The others reacted quickly, Li Fufeng was the first to speak.
"It's been like this for at least the past three months." Yin Xubai nodded, "What it was three months ago is what it is now."
Having said that, he stood up, looked around, and said in a firm tone: "The water stains on the floor, the traces on the windows that have not dried from the rain, combined with the scene that Han Shan saw that night, are still With the form and style of K, the rainy night serial killer, it is not difficult to infer..."
"—On a rainy night in a different world, this serial killer entered this hotel and killed the owner of the hotel for unknown reasons. At this time, time and space turmoil occurred, and the entire hotel came to our world. "
"—Coincidentally, our world is also a rainy night, and a drunk pushes open the door of the hotel."
"—After that, there was this chain of events."
After talking about his deduction based on all the traces, his tone became more and more high-pitched, just like when he discovered the unknown substance contained in the wall powder given by Li Fufeng: "All this is beyond the scope of existing science. , I want to apply for the first research! Especially these two corpses, will the change of time and space have any special impact on them? Is there any difference in structure between people in different worlds and us? Are they ordinary people, or do they have extraordinary abilities? people? I can't wait to find out about it!"
"Yes, yes, don't worry, there will be a chance."
The others couldn't laugh or cry, but they could fully understand his feelings, because they were also very excited.
Not to mention how much inspiration the tip of the iceberg of a different world with similar but different developments can provide them;
Not to mention, in case of receiving supernatural revelation, the benefits to Yao Kingdom are countless;
It's just that if you know enough about this different world, it might be useful when you deal with K in the future. If you can find out his origin or weakness, it will be even more profitable.After all, since ancient times, the importance of intelligence information has been ranked first.
In this way, the Supernatural Investigation Bureau has put into unprecedented busy work...
On the other side of the city, Bai Yi has already captured everything that happened through the scene template of the hotel.
"It's really scratching the ground..." He complained, "It's all my nightmare crystallization."
All scene templates themselves are illusory, and every time they materialize, nightmare crystals will be consumed. To turn every brick, tile, plant, and tree in the scene template into reality, in addition to consuming nightmare crystals, enough popularity.
If it weren't for the [Rainy Night Ghost] card that has gained more than 100% fame, the scene template attached to [Blood Hotel] really couldn't be fulfilled.
Even so, the realization of the entire hotel into a physical body also consumed more than half of the nightmare crystals that Bai Yi had accumulated so far.Among them, the two corpses cost the most.
Bai Yi checked his panel information.

He unexpectedly discovered that among life skills, except for the bewitching skill which had reached the limit and could no longer be improved, several other skills had been raised by a level unconsciously.
As for game points and nightmare crystals...
Let's put it this way, since the Nightmare game system was started, Bai Yi has never counted how many copies he has cleared.
Except for those special parts that received card rewards, there were more ordinary dungeons. After clearing the level, they were only rewarded with a few symbolic points or nightmare crystals.In addition, the process of opening the vest also consumed a lot of nightmare crystals, and the display on the panel is the balance so far.
And game points? emmm It seems that it has not found any use until now, it has always been just a display on the panel?
——This is simply a waste of money!
Realizing this, Bai Yi quickly poked the system, and the explanation given by the system was——
[Game points serve two purposes. 】
[One, buy props produced by some special dungeons. 】
[Second, when the game points accumulate to a certain level, players can choose to update the version.To a certain extent, complete customs clearance. 】
"Version update?" Bai Yi was aroused, "Could it be possible to update from the closed beta mode to the public beta mode?"
Before the system could answer, a card in the card slot exuded a faint brilliance and quickly materialized before Bai Yi's eyes.
