Volume 3 The Battle for Hades Chapter 61 Events Retrospective
We just went into the room with our hands in our pockets, and something wasn't right. Usually you have luggage when you stay in a hotel, not to mention that we are still traveling internationally, and then I remember that I forgot to check the trunk. "Well, we have to go down to the parking lot. I said with a bitter face, purely because I was lazy. "I don't want to go down, so let's just go down without asking for luggage. Liu Weixian also said with a bitter face, purely because he was afraid.
"No, I have a feeling we might have tools in our luggage against spirits. I said, "Otherwise, you can stay in the room, and I'll go back when Lao Su goes." "No, how can you go on an adventure alone. "What I said first is very righteous, but I still believe it is because he remembers that there are ghosts on the 14th floor.
I don't think everyone can see ghosts, and the two of us should have some kind of yin and yang eyes and spiritual vision to see them. And the ghosts are not the same, the ghosts seen in the lobby and the 14th floor seem to be very naturally mixed in the human world, and the ghost in the parking lot seems to exist in a separate time and space-ghost realm.
We went down to the underground parking lot, found our car, opened the trunk and sure enough, there were two trolley cases. I originally wanted to talk to the female ghost in the parking lot again, and I felt that I should have made a good impression on her before, but when I saw Liu Weixian's frightened look, I said to myself that I would wait until he fell asleep at night.
But it's likely that Liu Weixian won't be able to sleep tonight...
After we settled in, it was getting dark, so I called the front desk and asked the front desk to bring food, anyway, we didn't need to save enough money for now. I also knocked on the side and found out that our room had been booked for a week. This is a bolt from the blue for Liu Weixian, and he is even ready to leave tomorrow.
After the meal, I thought about it for a while, and I was still going to tell Liu Wei about the case first. "Lao Liu, if you are free now, let me tell you about the case we are investigating. Although his nerves were highly tense, he also knew that this two-person trial could not let me think about the problem alone, so he agreed. I lit a cigarette, organized my language, and began to speak:
"In reality, on February 19, 2013, the body of Lin Man, a Chinese Canadian girl, was found in the roof tank of the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles. The state of the corpse in the tank was, in my understanding, the first suspicion. She was standing in the tank with her head and feet down. Generally, drowned corpses will float naturally, and in Chinese folklore, this kind of standing corpse only appears when a person is killed by a water ghost. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. ”
"The second suspicion is the strange behavior of the deceased before she died, she pressed the button on each floor while taking the elevator upstairs, and at the same time she was emotional, as if she was arguing with others, but there was no one around her. And as the elevator reached each floor, she would look out nervously, sometimes as if she was so frightened that she danced. There is a lot of speculation about this suspicion, but I have always felt that it is not reliable. Now I wonder if it could be that she saw things that ordinary people can't see, just like us now. ”
"The third suspicion is that the Los Angeles police report issued a few months later that it was an accidental drowning, which is nonsense. How did a girl who accidentally drowned in a tank lock the lock on the outside of the tank? I have read various reports before, and I feel that these three doubts are relatively difficult to explain, and now I am ready to start from them. And this Cecil hotel is not simple, this is not the first case related to it, there have been too many events since the end of World War II, and many of them are quite famous. ”
"So hauntings are almost the hallmark of this hotel, and many thriller novelists will come here for ten days and half a month, praying that people will not be good but spiritual, as if this way they can write good things. Well, in reality, I'd have to come here if I'm free. This hotel is simply a realistic version of an American horror story, we don't know why so many ghosts gather here, and we don't have anywhere to ask, it should have something to do with feng shui, I guess. In addition, we should be different from ordinary people, because we can see ghosts, and I haven't figured out exactly why. ”
I didn't smoke much of this cigarette because I kept pressing, so I threw it in the ashtray and lit another one. "Old Sue. Wei Xian said seriously, "Let's sleep together tonight, okay?" "There is only one bed in the room, right?" Thinking about it, I was still a little excited (mistakenly), and the first time I slept with a boy, I had to dedicate it to Liu Weixian.
Since the time is quite relaxed, I am not going to take any action tonight, but I will first sort out my thoughts and think about what to do. It took me about two hours, smoked five cigarettes, and then made plans for the next step, wanting to take a shower but being stopped first. "Wash it all or you don't!" he said. I was going to open another room tomorrow to save a bed, but I guess it's no fun to see him rely on me.
I've always had trouble sleeping, and the main manifestation of this is that I can't sleep. This night is quite uncomfortable without a shower, or squeezing a bed with another man who has not taken a bath, this man can't sleep himself, and turns over from time to time, any of the above will make me sleepless, not to mention that the combined effect of so many things makes the effect even more significant.
The next day, the two of us walked out of the room with dark circles under our eyes, and morale was quite low. I can understand why we are unhappy, Liu Wei's first consideration is that if it weren't for my instigation, he wouldn't have entered such an unfriendly trial, and he could happily have his duel trial. What I think is that if this is all in, don't fix it so much, you can't help much, but don't hold back, at least make sure I have a rest. I could figure out the crux of the problem, but I didn't want to deal with it. There's no need, we all know each other's temperaments after a few years of getting along, and at most we'll comfort ourselves at lunchtime, who calls him my son, it's my responsibility to take care of him.
Therefore, it is not that brothers have no heart and no lungs all the time, but no matter what they encounter, they will become heartless. "What do you do first?" "Tiredness dispelled Liu Weixian's fear to a certain extent, "Go to the top floor, the water tank should not be replaced." I replied. "Hah? There have been dead people in it, and the hotel hasn't been changed, it's too picky, isn't it?" Liu Weixian was a little incredulous, "Isn't that the water we used in the morning, and the water we use next...""It's okay," I shrugged, "I remember that not long after the body was found, people from the U.S. Department of Health came to check it, and the water quality in the tank was okay and could be used normally." ”
"Is this what the Ministry of Health says??" Liu Weixian roared incompetently, no matter what, he would have to use the water for the next week. In fact, I also have a little mind in my heart, I have been working tirelessly to improve my living conditions, and I will not be sorry for myself if I can live better. But if there is something that can't be changed, such as the current water use, then I won't complain too much, which will only make myself and others more unhappy.
We opened the security door next to the room and climbed up the top floor from the secure staircase in the open air outside the hotel. Generally speaking, the top floor of the Cecil Hotel is locked, but it is estimated that there are too many people who want to come up to see it during this time, and the hotel also intends to rely on this marketing, so it is simply open for viewing.
The water tank is quite noticeable on the top floor. The police cordon has been removed, so we were able to investigate the tank nearby. From the outside, this is an ordinary water tank, which is a little old under the wind and rain. "Well, I'll have to take a look inside. I said.
