Hearing the noise, Shia picked up a vase. As long as there was any movement, the porcelain with ugly patterns would immediately hit the other person's head.
She has been in this hotel for a while.
Lu Tan and Drizzt suddenly disappeared, and Shia realized that there might be something on this island that was difficult to explain with common sense.
She walked for a while longer before arriving at the hotel through the fog.
There is nothing in this hotel, no traces of people, no text or photos, it is completely empty. The owner seems to have been chased by something and fled without leaving any clues.
Shia explored the first floor and then went to the second floor.
She opened the doors and checked each room, but apart from quilts and pillows, there was nothing of note inside.
Finally, Shia came to the room at the end of the corridor.
She opened the door and it was the same inside.
However, Shia always felt that something was wrong in this house.
She went to the third floor and investigated again. Only then did Xia finally discover the problem.
The bed arrangement in the room at the end of the corridor on the second floor is different from that of other rooms.
Although there are still the same pieces of furniture, the different arrangement creates an illusion of space.
She immediately returned to the second floor, to the door of the room at the end of the corridor.
Sia pushed the door open and came in. She compared the layout next door and found that it was indeed different.
As for why there is such a difference, Shia guessed that there might be something hidden here.
She looked at the room, first lay down and checked under the bed.
Nothing.
Shia reached out toward the shadow under the bed and touched it.
No dust, no stains.
This is rather unusual.
If someone's house is spotlessly clean even under the bed, then nine times out of ten, it's either a pervert or a ghost.
The environment of this kind of hotel means that it is impossible to clean it so cleanly.
Therefore, even though this place is clean, it makes people feel suspicious.
winter--
Shia heard a crash behind her,
She immediately got up and carefully identified the sound, which should have come from outside the door.
The door closed at some point, and Shia looked there and lowered her breathing.
Suddenly, Shia noticed that the door handle was slowly rotating, as if someone was twisting it outside.
Shia's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Who else is in this hotel now?
She had just confirmed that there was no one else in the room, and no one had entered the hotel during this time. The identity of the visitor was very doubtful.
Reaching out, Shia picked up the vase on the desk. The thick fog outside the window was so gray that she couldn't see the scenery clearly.
She was waiting behind the door. As long as someone came in, Sia would never show mercy.
She had even thought carefully about it, first using the vase to impact the opponent's head, and then subduing the opponent with the fighting skills she had learned.
In a moment, more than a dozen possible futures appeared in her mind.
Crunch——
The door handle reached its end, and Shia saw that the door was slowly pushed open.
Between a gap, Shia saw the dark figure.
The next moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the vase in Shia's hand was thrown directly at the opponent's head.
"?"
However, the second before the vase came into contact with the other person's head, Shia discovered that the person who came in was actually Lu Tian.
In the blink of an eye, the vase had hit Lu Tan's head.
Wow——
The low-quality decorative porcelain suddenly shattered, and Lu Tan's head was hit hard. In an instant, he collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness.
Shia's hand stopped in mid-air, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.
In an instant, she thought a lot.
"No one entered the hotel just now, but he suddenly appeared. It is very likely that this is not true. If this is false, then my behavior just now is completely correct."
"But what if this is true... Well, if he is true, then he will definitely forgive me for what I did. After all, in this environment, it is always right to be cautious."
Soon, Shia convinced herself.
She put down the fragments of the vase in her hand, and first used her fingers to detect Lu Jian's breathing. After confirming that he was still alive, she felt a little relieved.
Opening Lu Tan's eyelids with her hands, Shia looked at them with a flashlight and saw that his eyes were not loose yet, and he looked like he had simply fainted.
Shia is still very calm.
She glanced outside the corridor and found no other people. She didn't know where Drizzt was, so she came back to check on Lu Tiao's situation.
"There are no obvious external wounds. Apart from the head being hit by a vase and bleeding, there should be no fatal injuries. If you find me then, it will be said to be self-defense..."
When she was thinking about how she should defend herself if she was accused of being a murderer, Lu Tiao's fingers twitched.
"Are you awake?"
Shia asked gently.
"Why did I lie down?"
Lu Tiao was a little confused.
He recalled that he had received a call from "Amber" just now, and then came to the hotel, investigated, and heard a sound coming from the room at the end of the corridor, so he came to check...
Lu Jian's memory is very strong and he can remember everything, even if he doesn't realize it at all.
Therefore, he also recalled the incident when he was knocked unconscious by a vase from Shia as soon as he entered the door.
He looked at Shia.
"Well, I just thought it was some kind of monster, so I subconsciously smashed it with the vase."
Shia explained, not hiding anything.
"In this environment, I didn't have much time to think, so I acted preemptively."
She said in a tone of "This is really something that can't be helped", and at the same time she held Lu Tiao's hand, with a hint that if you pursue it, I will tell you something.
Lu Tan really didn't dare to blame Xia. Thinking about it, if he were in this situation, he might do the same thing.
"Indeed, you did well."
He also had to praise Shia.
"Are you okay?"
Shia glanced at Lu Tiao's wound, took out a pack of tissues from her pocket, and handed it to Lu Tiao.
"Still alive."
Lu Tan took out a piece of tissue and wiped the painful area on his head. When he took it back, there was dark red blood all over it.
"I shouldn't be killed by my teammates, right?"
He sighed, his consciousness was still quite clear.
"How did you get here?"
Xia asked, not hearing what Lu Tian said clearly.
"I just walked here. I saw that you were all gone. Then I walked straight to the hotel and there... By the way, I just looked through the records on the first floor and found something."
Lu Tan immediately told Xia the accommodation records he saw.
"Zou Changyu and his wife came here ten years ago when their child died...Does this have anything to do with the jade pendant?"
Shia fell into thinking.
At this moment, there was a crashing sound from the next room.
This familiar crashing sound immediately attracted the attention of the two people.
Shia and Lu Tan looked at each other, stood up, and walked carefully to the corridor.
The door next door is open.
However, the inside was not as ordinary as what Shia had inspected before, but rather a somewhat horrifying scene appeared.
On the bed, there was a remains with most of the body gnawed away, and there were some scattered bones on the ground. In front of the desk, a man fell to the ground, covered in blood.
