Xiao Lan roared loudly and was about to pounce, but was stopped by Luo Jiutian at the door of the bathroom.
"Be careful," Luo Jiutian cautiously stopped Xiaolan behind him, "There may be a scam."
Xiaolan raised her eyes and looked at him, "Then what should we do?"
"My left, your right," Luo Jiutian shook his head towards the closet, "I'll open the door, you cover."
Xiaolan nodded sadly.
The two formed an outflanking formation, one on the left and the other on the right, surrounding the closet door. The closet had long since returned to silence, and no sound could be heard anymore.
Luo Jiutian stretched out three fingers, which then turned into two, then one...
That's it now!
Luo Jiutian opened the closet door with a loud bang. At the same time, many things came out of the closet and hit them directly.
Xiao Lan made a big jump and just missed a falling suitcase. Luo Jiutian was not so lucky. Before he could realize what was in front of him, he was overwhelmed by several pieces of messy clothes.
"Xiao Lan, be careful!..." Luo Jiutian, who was pressed under layers of clothes, did not forget to remind Xiao Lan.
Xiaolan quickly checked the now empty closet, and after confirming that no one was there, she picked up the clothes on the ground and rescued the struggling Luo Jiutian.
"Who? Who is it?!..." Luo Jiutian's hair was as messy as his mental state, "Who is in the closet?..."
"There's no one inside," Xiao Lan pulled Luo Jiutian up. "It seems that the new resident piled all his luggage in the closet. As soon as we opened it, everything fell out."
"No one?..." Luo Jiutian managed to steady his feet, "No, we clearly heard laughter."
"But there's really no one inside," Xiaolan pointed to the inside of the wardrobe, "If you don't believe me, just take a look."
"What's that laugh? And that bang."
"I don't know either..." Xiaolan shook her head, "Could it be Lingxi?"
"But I didn't feel Lingxi's presence."
"I didn't feel it either," Xiaolan lowered her shoulders, "This is strange. Could it be that the person just now can really travel through space like Sister Xiaoyin?"
"Xiaoyin's ability was passed on to you alone, wasn't it?"
"Uh... Actually, it wasn't her who passed it on, it was..."
"Xiaolan, look!" Luo Jiutian raised his head, as if he suddenly found something in the closet.
"What are you looking at?" Xiao Lan quickly followed his gaze.
"Look at the top of this closet," Luo Jiutian pointed to the top of the inner side of the closet, "Why do I feel like there's still space up there?"
Xiaolan took a closer look and found that indeed, from the outside, the wardrobe was directly connected to the roof, but the height on the inside of the wardrobe was very low. From the top of the wardrobe to the middle of the roof, it was at least half a meter high.
"I'll go up and have a look."
Luo Jiutian stepped on the edge of the closet and leaned into the closet to check. Xiaolan also stretched her head to look.
Luo Jiutian tapped his knuckles on the top of the wardrobe several times.
"Hollow," he said, "has hope."
"Can it be opened?"
"I'll give it a try..."
"There must be something in there."
"I think too..."
However, before the two found the correct way to open the wardrobe top, something unexpected happened.
Outside the door, there was a sudden sound of dripping.
The sound was very familiar to both of them. It was the sound of swiping the door with a key card.
Sure enough, the next second, when the two of them were caught off guard, the door opened with a creak.
Xiaolan froze immediately, and Luo Jiutian was even worse. He stepped back in a hurry, stepped on the air with his right foot, and fell back onto the pile of clothes.
The door opened little by little, and the light in the corridor instantly poured into the dark room, outlining the person standing at the door.
The two of them looked at the man at the same time.
"How...why is it you?"
"Why is it you?!"
This was an encounter that shocked all three people.
Standing outside the door is actually the proprietress of the hotel!
The proprietress was holding the key card in one hand and her mobile phone in the other. She was stunned on the spot, looking at the scene in front of her with a blank face.
Of the two men, one was standing behind the suitcase with his neck hunched, as if he was about to hit someone, and the other was sitting on a pile of clothes, staring stupidly.
"What's going on?" The landlady didn't dare to come in, "Why are you in this room?"
"We...eldest sister, why are you here?"
"Of course it was the guest in this room who asked me to come over." The landlady's eyes changed slightly when she looked at the two of them, "Can you explain it?"
"The situation is rather complicated. I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it for a while..."
"Then I can only call the police," the landlady's tone was as cold as her eyes, "I really didn't expect that, I thought..."
"Wait! Sister! Stop!" Xiaolan's head was spinning rapidly. Although she had done sneaky things many times, this was the first time she was caught. "We are not thieves!"
"We are good people," said Luo Jiutian, who was still sitting on his clothes. "And we are good people with money. We will never steal anything."
"Then you..."
"We're catching ghosts!"
As soon as Xiao Lan said these words, the landlady and Luo Jiutian were both dumbfounded.
"Catch ghosts?"
"Uh... yes, catching ghosts," Luo Jiutian looked into Xiaolan's eyes and slowly got up from the ground, "We are just catching ghosts. There are ghosts in this room."
The landlady actually shrank, "What the hell?"
Xiaolan swallowed and decided to tell the truth, "Sister, the new resident you recruited is a ghost!"
"Ah?" A dubious look appeared in the landlady's eyes, and her attitude began to waver, "What do you mean by this? I am receiving a person..."
"But look, besides the three of us, is there anyone else in this room?" Xiaolan stretched out her hand and said, "You said it was the resident who asked you to come over. She was not in the room, how did she know someone had come in?
Is it possible that she has installed a surveillance camera in this house after only living there for less than a day?"
"She...she just said on the phone that someone came into her room. Isn't she in the room?"
"If you don't believe me, come in and take a look," Xiaolan said, pretending to be mysterious, "When we came in, there was no one in this room."
"What phone number did she use to notify you?" Luo Jiutian asked, "Isn't it a landline?"
"She was calling my mobile phone," the landlady raised the mobile phone she was holding in her left hand. "Actually, I was also surprised. How did she know my phone number? The communication number left on the signboard of my house is my husband's number. I
I thought it was my husband who told her when..."
"How about you call her number back now and see what she says?" Xiaolan said.
The landlady quickly turned on her phone and pressed callback quickly, her hands trembling a little.
Beep...beep...beep...
"Hello!" The phone was suddenly connected, and a man's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Well, no matter who you are, this is a public phone. The person you are looking for must have left, so don't dial yet.
, there is still someone who wants to call later, I’m sorry, I hung up.”
