Chapter 5 Room 404
He lives on the third floor. Of course, Fang Rui knew that this three-story hotel should not have Room 404, but this non-existent room was decorated with the same furnishings as the room where Fang Rui lived. However, there was a child sitting on the edge of the bed in the room. He lowered his head and held something in his hands.
As he slowly approached the child, Fang Rui was about to say something, but the child suddenly raised his head. The facial features on his face were actually sewn with black thread. The child put the things he was holding in his hands in front of Fang Rui. In the palm of his hand... was a rolling eyeball!
Just as Fang Rui was stunned, the eyeballs suddenly rolled down from the child's hand, and then... one eyeball after another came out of the child's palm like a fountain and fell to the ground. It seemed that a small elastic ball jumped towards Fang Rui's body, and it actually stuck to Fang Rui's clothes.
Fang Rui reached out and waved his hand to try to knock his eyes off his clothes, but it was useless. Several of them bounced on Fang Rui's exposed skin. A burning pain made Fang Rui jump up. Fortunately, the "mulse" in his right arm drilled out in time. With the red line, the eyeballs that stuck to Fang Rui's body fell to the ground.
The child suddenly let out a shrill scream, and his facial features were instantly breaking away. Whether it was his mouth, eyes, nose, and ears, they all showed rows of sharp and fine teeth in the black line.
Fang Rui felt a huge drag force in the red line pulled him out of the room, and at the same time his eyes rushed towards Fang Rui. In just a blink of an eye, Fang Rui had already stood in the corridor again. With a loud bang, the door of Room 404 was closed, and the eyes were isolated from the door.
After a closer look around, the vision had disappeared. Fang Rui was still standing outside his room door. The door opened. Sun Xiaoxiao stood in the room and looked at Fang Rui with a worried look on his face, and asked: "Did you see anything? Have you caught a ghost?"
Fang Rui shook his head and said, "This little devil is so powerful that he can't handle it." After saying that, Fang Rui hurried into the room and closed the door.
"What should I do?" Sun Xiao smiled and anxious.
"Although I didn't catch it, I think this little devil wouldn't take the initiative to provoke us." Fang Rui comforted him, after all, he had the 'stay', so Fang Rui still had some confidence.
"The master is so awesome!" Sun Xiaoxiao seemed to have forgotten the shocking scene just now and began to get almost.
"Don't call the master?" Fang Rui rolled his eyes helplessly, and began to regret what he said about Yin and Yang eyes.
"Oh, don't be humble! By the way, although this little devil doesn't come to provoke me, I dare not go back to my room. Master, just beg me until dawn!" Sun Xiaoxiao begged.
Fang Rui looked down at his watch. It was already past four o'clock. Seeing that it would not take long to get dawn, he could only nod and agree. However, he asked Sun Xiaoxiao not to call him his master. He was about the same age as each other, so it would be better to just call him a better name.
Sun Xiaoxiao was also kind. In addition, he was originally familiar with his personality, so he soon showed intimacy with Fang Rui, which made Fang Rui, who had always been alone and had no friends, feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, it was dawn soon, and Fang Rui quickly invited Sun Xiaoxiao out of the room, but Sun Xiaoxiao was not willing to leave so easily. He forced Fang Rui to find his friends, saying that meeting more friends when he was away is a guarantee!
In desperation, Fang Rui, who didn't know how to refuse, could only let Sun Xiaoxiao drag him to meet his members, and welcomed Sun Xiaoxiao's enthusiastic introduction. However, he laughed at the encounter with ghosts in the corridor last night that Sun Xiaoxiao said, thinking it was just a ghost story by Sun Xiaoxiao. This made Sun Xiaoxiao a little unwilling, but he had no choice. He couldn't just turn into a little ghost to convince them!
"By the way, is it a trip here alone? Is it also going to Mihuntang?" President Li Lei asked Fang Rui.
"Yes, a friend of mine came here a while ago. After coming back, I recommended that the scenery here is very good." Fang Rui couldn't think of any better excuses, so he could only follow the flow.
"Is that so? We came here to collect folk songs, and the natural scenery here is really good." Li Lei smiled and then said, "Those who like to travel alone are all senior hikers!"
"Not deep or deep, a rookie!" Fang Rui waved his hand quickly and said wisely, "Oh, it's mainly because I just got dumped and wanted to find a quieter place to relax. This is the first time I went out to travel alone, and it was all decided on impulse. I still regret it now!"
"Who said you are alone? You can just follow us? How great is it to take care of each other!" Sun Xiaoxiao suggested while quickly turning to Li Lei, "President, President, let Fang Rui follow us, because he saved me once last night!"
"Yes!" Li Lei was a little amused about Sun Xiaoxiao's reasons. However, although he was the president, the expenses of the Supernatural Society were actually funded by Sun Xiaoxiao, the rich second-generation middle-second young man in front of him. Since the financial owner didn't care about one more person, what reason would he have to refuse?
In this way, Fang Rui became a temporary member of the Supernatural Society and joined this field trip.
After breakfast, everyone went back to their room to pack their things and prepared to set off. Sun Xiaoxiao still pulled Fang Rui and asked mysteriously: "Fang Rui, are we leaving like this? Didn't the little devil figure it out last night?"
"It would be great if it didn't come to provoke us. Do you still want to provoke it? No more life?" Fang Rui couldn't understand why there are always some people in this world who love to commit suicide? It's really possible that Professor Yuan made these people eat too much!
"I didn't mess with it. I just wanted to investigate the origin of this little ghost. Why did it appear in this hotel? And what the hell is that Room 404? This hotel only has three floors!" Sun Xiao smiled and looked curious about the baby. "Besides, as a person with yin and yang eyes, isn't it that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility? When encountering such a thing, you always have to check it. It's like this in movies and novels!"
"Then the meddling people in movie novels are usually the first to get a lunch box." Fang Rui replied lightly.
"Oh, can you...can you be a little passionate?" Sun Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed by Fang Rui's coldness. She said that without saying a word, she pulled Fang Rui to the front desk of the hotel.
The receptionist was a young girl who looked quite young, with her non-mainstream red hair that made Fang Rui feel a little stingy. Sun Xiaoxiao stepped forward and chatted with the girl. Later, she took out an unopened lip balm from her pocket and handed it to the girl, saying that it was a rose bud lip balm imported from the United States. It was used to ensure that the girl's lips were pink and tender and seductive. It immediately successfully captured the hearts of the girl in the front desk. If Fang Rui had not known that Su Su, who looked like a Jiangnan beauty, was his girlfriend, she would have thought Sun Xiaoxiao had a strong taste for women!
"By the way, why are there only three floors of hotels here? There are too few rooms! Now there are many people going out for a poor trip, so that there are many rooms to attract business!" Sun Xiaoxiao pretended to be careless.
"It was originally a four-layer!" The girl at the front desk answered while removing the packaging of the lip balm.
"Oh? Why is it gone now?" Sun Xiaoxiao immediately felt energetic when he heard that the fourth floor was indeed in the first place.
"The hotel suffered a fire three years ago. Although it was extinguished in time and the entire building was not burned, the fourth floor was almost destroyed. However, the fourth floor was built illegally, and later the boss simply stopped the fourth floor when he repaired it." The girl at the front desk explained.
"Oh, the fire! Then... were there casualties at that time?" Sun Xiaoxiao asked.
"Not at all!" The girl at the front desk shook her head and continued, "It was the off-season for our tourist here, and there were few guests staying there. In addition, the fourth floor was temporarily built, and the room facilities were simpler than the rooms on the third floor downstairs, so no one was willing to live there. Therefore, the fire was caused by the aging of illegally built wires, so our boss was fined for this!"
"Oh, that's it!" Sun Xiaoxiao was a little disappointed.
Unable to get more information, Sun Xiaoxiao returned to the room in frustration. Fang Rui, who was standing beside him, could only comfort him: "At least, it means that Room 404 once existed, and it was also a good harvest."
"We...why go upstairs and take a look?" Sun Xiaoxiao, who had already arrived at Fang Rui's door, suddenly suggested, which made Fang Rui feel that his comfort was unnecessary. The guy in front of him was really a natural and uneasy person.
He pulled Fang Rui to the entrance of the stairs on the third floor. The stairs were upwards, and Sun Xiaoxiao kicked open the door leading to the rooftop with his feet in Fang Rui's stunnedness.
The walls around the rooftop are very high, and there are still traces of smoke and fire. There are hill-like debris piled up in all corners, and there are some fragments on the ground. It seems that the hotel owner has indeed abandoned the place and treated it as an open-air utility room.
Fang Rui and Sun Xiaoxiao looked around and found nothing unusual. They were all messy miscellaneous items. Just as the two were about to go downstairs, Sun Xiaoxiao found a sign in a pile of rags, with only three numbers "404".
