Return to the room.

Qianye lay back on the small bed again.

In fact, he didn't even know what he should do at this time. He took the remote control and changed TV channels one after another, but he couldn't find the information he wanted.

After rummaging through the cabinets in the room, Qianye didn't find anything else worth noting.

So locked up in this old hotel.

Even if there is no trial, it is still a torture...

"Boss, you have a problem?"

"Shouldn't..."

"If the bald man had been controlled by Youyou, then when he first came to this hotel, Youyou wouldn't have staged a show of asking for a room with the boss."

"Given her previous style of taking taxis, it would probably be more appropriate for her to just ask the boss to give her the room key, then throw down a wad of money and leave."

Qianye's mind drifted back to what happened just now, thinking about the rationale behind it.

If the boss has no problem.

Then the problem can only be with the dishes themselves...

Perhaps Youyou had planned to prevent Qianye from eating normal food from the beginning, so she had tampered with the dishes before they were served.

The boss may not see the weirdness of the dishes.

In the eyes of the bald man, what he may see is a table of normal meals. Dead mice, livers, and dried blood full of maggots all seem to him to be extremely normal.

Ordinary deception, this is more logical...

"Trial, trial..."

"So what does this have to do with what to eat?"

Qianye sat up straight and couldn't figure out the reason for the connection.

He didn't think that just by eating those disgusting meals, he could improve his abilities.

Otherwise, where would there be any trials?

Wouldn't it be enough to just immerse yourself in the food?

Dong Dong...

Suddenly, just as Qianye was thinking about this problem, his ears caught a strange sound.

It sounded like the sound of something hitting the floor, and it was very rhythmic. Every once in a while, the thing would make another sound.

look up.

He saw that the clock on the wall had reached seven o'clock.

He has not forgotten what the bald man told him before. The mother and son living in 304 would make noise on time at seven o'clock every night.

The sound is not loud and will not affect others' rest.

After all, few people would go to bed at seven o'clock. Besides, he added, the noise caused by the mother and son would stop soon...

"There's definitely something wrong."

Qianye stood up from the bed, planning to go and see what was going on in 304.

Even Youyou said this would be a trial.

Then it is impossible for the mother and son to be as simple as normal people.

Gently unlocking the door of the house, Qianye poked his head out of the corridor...

In autumn, at seven o'clock, the sky has actually darkened relatively quickly. What can be seen through the windows in the corridor is the dark night outside, while the entire corridor itself has fallen into a dead silence.

Boom!

The sound came out again.

It's definitely caused by 304.

I don't know what the mother and son were doing in the house at this time. This kind of sound reached Qianye's ears, which inevitably made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"If something falls on the floor, it can't fall forever."

"Shooting a rubber ball is not like shooting a rubber ball..."

"More like hitting the floor with something on purpose."

Chino thought about the situation at hand.

Fortunately, he has good night vision. Even if there is no light in the corridor, he can still roughly see the things in front of him with just the little moonlight shining in from the window.

The door to 303 is locked.

It is impossible to tell whether Yoyo is in the room at this moment.

Of course, this is not important. Even if the other party is really in the room, Qianye does not think that the other party will come out to help him at this time.

They say it's a "trial"...

This is probably one of the steps in the trial process. It is simply a fantasy to expect people who have been through the trial to come and help.

Taking a deep breath, Qianye tried to make his footsteps as slow and steady as possible.

He didn't want to be discovered by the mother and son because of the footsteps.

If the mother and son are not humans, then it is very likely that the other party has rules and the like, and it is better to keep a low voice when doing things.

One step, two steps...

Qianye got closer and closer to the door of Room 304, and the strange sounds he could hear became clearer and clearer.

When he walked to the door, he vaguely felt that the movement was more likely to be caused by something.

"kowtow?"

As soon as this idea came out, it immediately grew unscrupulously in Qianye's mind.

The movement in the room indeed seemed to be caused by the mother and son kowtowing, and the two muffled sounds of "dong dong" would correspond well to the mother and son.

certainly.

Guessing can never be taken as a result.

Qianye's eyes slowly moved down the crack of the door. To his surprise, he discovered that the door of 304 was not locked. He didn't know whether it was intentional or accidental. There was indeed a strip at the door lock position.

Tiny gaps.

"In this case......"

Qianye was silent for a moment, then slowly stretched out his right hand to hold the doorknob.

He raised his spirits to the highest level to prepare for any unnecessary accidents, and then started to pull the wooden door extremely carefully...

There is no light on in room 304.

At least after the gap widened, all that came from it was darkness.

This intensified Qianye's courage to open the door. After all, when the surroundings were full of darkness, if he just opened the door a little further, as long as he was careful enough, generally speaking, no one would notice.

He looked into the house through the crack in the door.

When Qianye saw the scene inside the house, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

The layout of room 304 was actually similar to his own house, but apart from the bed, TV, and cabinets, Qianye also saw a statue that seemed to be used for worship.

The statue looks like a man. It should be gray overall. It has no facial features and even many lines are not clearly drawn. The whole statue is about half a meter high.

The "man statue" was placed on the table that was supposed to be used by the residents. There was a small earth altar in front of the statue, with several burnt incense sticks inserted in it.

Burnt white incense ashes are all over the table. It seems that this statue has been here for a long time...

"But what about people?"

Qian Zhizhong was very confused.

Because he looked through the crack in the door and did not see where the mother and son who lived in 304 were.

The two of them seemed not to be in the house, at least from this angle, Qianye found no trace or shadow of them.

"strangeness......"

I became more courageous.

In order to make the entire field of view wider, Qianye took a breath and opened the crack in the door wider than before. At the same time, he stretched his head through the crack in the door, intending to take a good look at the layout of the entire room.

Also, I want to make sure that the mother and son are really not in the house...

No.

Still empty with nothing.

Qianye was puzzled and prepared to retract his head, but just at this moment, he felt as if something was dripping on his head.

"what?"

Subconsciously he looked up.

in the eyes,

Qianye only saw a woman with disheveled hair hanging upside down on the door panel, looking at him like a black hole in her eyes, and then... the kitchen knife in the woman's hand was chopped off!
