Chapter 8: The Vanishing Wall

"Room 1408 asked to be cleaned. ”

The message from the switchboard reminded Ding Dong in a timely manner, and after sending "received", Ding Dong sent another message.

"Julie, can you help me look at the call log around 12 a.m. this Tuesday?"

"Three days ago?" Julie, who was on duty at the switchboard, seemed to be synchronized with Ding Dong's shift, but if the switchboard was easy to talk to, it wouldn't be the switchboard. Just when Ding Dong still had a glimmer of expectation, Julie simply snuffed out this expectation.

"Sorry, you don't have this permission. ”

In addition to "OK", Ding Dong couldn't find any other reply, she put away her phone and walked out of the office.

But if you call the waiter in the middle of the night to "please clean it immediately" and the room, it will not be too clean.

After experiencing many "demon" guests, Ding Dong was already mentally prepared, so when she saw the mess in room 1408 as if she had just finished a carnival party, she was completely able to treat it calmly.

Only one pair of slippers had been worn through the room, but the quilt had been flipped to the floor, pillows and cushions had been thrown to the east and west, towels seemed to have been picked up and thrown on the floor in a twisted pattern, all kinds of snacks and fruits were sprinkled all over the floor, and the scraps of food were more like seeds sprinkled on the carpet......

Ding Dong stroked his forehead, whose bear child ran out, right? A person can be like this, he should really be awarded the best self-esteem award.

Tidying up the room in a clockwise manner as usual, Ding Dong was already familiar with the car, but the residue on the carpet was very troublesome to deal with. Ding Dong needs to sweep the floor, and then bring a vacuum cleaner to vacuum the ground.

This ancestor is afraid that something happy has really happened, not only the room, but even the balcony has traces of his hapi. It took Ding Dong almost half an hour to clean the room.

"I'm tired of my sister. ”

Walking out of room 1408, Ding Dong let out a long breath. She stacked all the tools on the linen cart and pushed the cart towards the linen room with both arms.

Suddenly, a black shadow rushed towards Ding Dong from the direction ahead, and its movements were very fast, from far to near in the blink of an eye. When it got closer, Ding Dong realized that it was far bigger than he imagined.

A cockroach.

No, it should be said, it's an extra-large cockroach, commonly known as the American cockroach.

It danced its tentacles in front of Ding Dong, as if sensing Ding Dong's malice, and quickly stopped when she stepped on herself, and then fled in a puff of smoke, burrowing through the crack in the door into the next room.

Ding Dong raised his head, it was room 1414.

The cockroach burrowed into room 1414.

The discovery of a large cockroach in a five-star hotel is a major event that is enough to sound the alarm at level 10. Of course, whether the alarm goes off or not depends on whether the room is a guest or not. If a guest is frightened by cockroaches and complains on the Internet, it will affect the credit score of the entire Hephaus Hotel, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

As a waiter on duty, Ding Dong's fate was even more unimaginable.

She hurriedly asked the switchboard: "Are there any guests in room 1414?"

"Isn't it written on your room chart?Room 1414 is undergoing a major overhaul. Julie was really polite, Ding Dong rolled his eyes silently, and said, "How do I know if the front desk will change the room and sell it in the next second, they haven't done it before." ”

As if she was too lazy to pay attention to herself, Julie did not reply.

Ding Dong secretly "hehe", picked up the broom, and opened the door of room 1414 with a master key card.

According to Ding Dong's experience, a large cockroach of this level is useless, whether it is an insecticide or a glue bait. Even flooding doesn't work, there was a science to cut off the cockroach's head, Rao is so, it still lives for 96 hours!

A creature that is not even afraid of a severed head is such an anti-heaven existence, I am afraid that the only way to step on it is the wisest move.

Ding Dong clenched the broom, took a deep breath, and slammed the door open.

"Whew-"

A strong wind blew in his face, and the cold air that whistled made Ding Dong breathless.

Convective wind.

Ding Dong lowered his head and walked into the room, quickly closed the window, and turned on the light.

It looks like the engineering department has started repairs, the carpet has been removed, revealing a gray concrete floor, all the furniture has been covered with scrapped hotel sheets, and the air is filled with the smell of dust.

The wallpaper was all torn off, and one wall even had a new wallpaper already pasted.

Huh, wait a minute......

Ding Dong ran to the wall, stretched out his hand and touched it, the exposed wall was also light gray in color, and it could be seen that it was rudely torn off the mottled "protective layer".

No burnt black.

No scorch?

But...... That day, I clearly saw the charred black wall under the wallpaper, like the traces left after being burned by the fire. Why isn't there any of them?

Ding Dong looked around, and finally fell on the wall that had been wallpapered by the engineering department.

Perhaps, is this the only wall?

In fact, there was no need to verify it at all, but Ding Dong walked over in a ghostly manner, carefully pinched the upturned edge of the corner, and slowly pressed upward. Perhaps it was because the wallpaper was quickly lifted shortly after it was pasted, revealing that the wall was no different from the rest of the place, still a gray patch.

The scorched black that Ding Dong had seen before did not exist at all.

Did I see it wrong before, or did the engineering department already deal with it?

No, judging from the traces of wallpaper remaining on the wall, there is no possibility that it has been specially treated at all.

Then, there is only one possibility left - Ding Dong is wrong.

But at that time, the horror when he saw the scorched black, and the strange feeling that was twisted on his fingers and was not easy to wipe off are still vivid, Ding Dong couldn't believe it, he really saw it wrong.

That's right, the phone!

Ding Dong hurriedly ran to the desk, picked up the phone and pressed the re-pull.

If the guest in room 1414 had called, he would have been able to call him directly, right?

The extension number of the housekeeping department is "5".

The phone did go through, but it was the engineering department that connected.

"What are you doing?"

A voice suddenly sounded behind him, and no matter how bold Ding Dong was, he was also shocked by this voice, and quickly put down the phone.

Standing at the door was a young female guest with a BOB hair, who smiled at Ding Dong and said playfully, "Scared by me?"

"It's fine. It is undeniable that Ding Dong was indeed relieved when he saw this female guest.

"Why are you here?" asked Ding Dong.

This female guest was the one who was looking for the lost necklace at the door of the employee elevator that day. I don't know if it's because of the kindness of the face, Ding Dong actually had the idea that being seen by her was a little luckier than being seen by the manager on duty who patrolled the building.

"I saw the door open and remembered that day...... YOU KNOW," THE BOB-HEADED LADY SAID, GESTURING AT HER WRIST, "IT SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME." ”

Ding Dong was a little embarrassed, as a waitress at the hotel, she couldn't comment on the whole thing, but as far as she was concerned, she felt similar to a female guest.

"Aren't you afraid, at that time?" the female guest looked at Ding Dong with sparkling eyes and asked curiously, "I saw that you were also covered in blood at that time, but you still kept holding that girl." ”

"Me...... It's just a little unexpected," Ding Dong said after considering his words, "but more importantly, I still want to help that guest." After all, life is the most precious!"

Ding Dong was moved, and the female guest also nodded, and said quite approvingly: "Yes, only by living can you go where you want to go and see the people you want to meet." ”

Ding Dong also nodded approvingly.

"Ah, Jojo. Qiao Qiao said, stretching out his hand to Ding Dong.

This was the first guest to extend her hand to Ding Dong, which made her hesitate. But Qiao Qiao's smile was sincere, his bright eyes were as clear as a stream, and there was not a trace of impurities, so he waited for Ding Dong's response with anticipation, which inevitably made Ding Dong's heart shallow moved.

"Ding Dong. Ding Dong said and stretched out his hand.

Before they could shake each other, Qiao Qiao suddenly screamed and pounced on him, hugging Ding Dong.

"Cockroaches, there are cockroaches!" The high octave voice was almost about to pierce Ding Dong's eardrums, and Ding Dong also remembered the heavy responsibility on her body, yes, didn't she come to catch cockroaches?!

Ding Dong immediately raised the broom: "Where? Where?!"

"That, that, that!" Jojo closed her eyes tightly and pointed to the balcony.

Just in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in front of the balcony, the oversized cockroach lay motionless.

It remained motionless because a dinner knife had penetrated its body, nailing it into the gap in the latticework of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Ding Dong stepped forward slowly, yes, she saw clearly, the dinner knife was engraved with a string of numbers: "1414".

Ding Dong was stunned.

"Waiter!waiter!service!service!staff!"

A series of roars sounded in the corridor, causing Ding Dong to suddenly come back to his senses.

"Waiter!" the roar grew louder and louder, and immediately after, a man's figure appeared in the doorway of room 1414.

"Waiter, what's the matter with you? Huh, did you take the things from my room?"

This "Roaring Emperor" is a guest in room 1408.

"The Roaring Emperor" is a middle-aged man who has become fat, and his body exudes the aura of "Lao Tzu is richer than you". He was so excited that his face turned red, and even his eyes were bloodshot. Ding Dong really couldn't imagine how such a middle-aged uncle could overturn the quilt, throw pillows and cushions around, and twist the towels into twisted patterns and run around the room alone......

Maybe a little skin will really make middle-aged and elderly men happier?

"I've lost my stuff! It's expensive! Tens of thousands!"

This was the sixth time he had repeated it, and Ding Dong's diaphragm was about to be deafened by him.

"First, sir, don't get excited, you say slowly. "The deputy manager of the lobby on duty today is still Kevin. Ding Dong was no longer surprised by this, and she even began to wonder if she didn't agree with Kevin's eight characters, and how she encountered strange events every time she was on duty.

"I can't slow down!" roared 1408's guest. Ding Dong subconsciously took half a step back, thinking to himself in his heart, the current guests are not to say calm, I'm afraid it's a blessing not to smash things.

"Wow!"

Before Ding Dong's thoughts fell, the guest suddenly picked up the decorative vase on the corridor platform and slammed it on the ground.

Well, I'll take it back.

Ding Dong thought.
