Chapter 69: The Traveler 9
The only places that can hide in the hotel are those rooms. But the guest room they had just hidden, and it wasn't a good hiding place at all.
Because no one in this inn knew better than the waiter, and he knew better than them where the whole inn was to hide.
Do you want to hide in those rooms when you go up to the second floor? It has been verified when it is on the first floor, and if it continues to hide there, the waiter will definitely open every room to check it out, just like on the first floor.
How's that going to be? At this time, Ling Menglan was also out of options.
It would be nice if the governor was here, if only he didn't come out to play with Zuo Xiaonian.
That's not going to happen.
Although Ling Menglan seemed to be very calm on her face, in fact, she was also flustered at this time, looking at the stairs leading to the third floor and the corridor stretching away, she didn't know how to decide.
Just when Ling Menglan paused at this corner because he didn't know how to make a decision next, Zuo Xiaonian, who had recovered, suddenly said, "Meng Lan, let's hide separately." ”
"What?"
The two of them are together, and they are still afraid that they will not be able to escape, and now Zuo Xiaonian actually proposed to hide separately? Regarding Zuo Xiaonian's current proposal, Ling Menglan was flustered, and she hadn't opened her mouth to ask, but she said the same thing.
"It's all my fault, if I hadn't insisted on pulling you out to play, I wouldn't have encountered this kind of thing. Let's hide separately, it's too big for two people to stay together, it's better to separate, so that at least one person can reduce the chance of being caught. ”
Zuo Xiaonian's tone was very resolute, she really felt that it was her fault that she encountered such a thing. Although separated, Ling Menglan did not want to. But Zuo Xiaonian's words are also right.
The goal of two people together is too big, and the movement is also big.
But if separated. After all, the waiter is only one person, and he is chasing a person. The other person has a chance to get out of here. As long as one person escapes here, they can be rescued.
Otherwise, two girls, even two girls, may not be able to fight against a man.
And now they don't know if the waiter is a man.
There wasn't much time left for them to think about right and wrong, and they didn't give Ling Menglan much time to think about it. Zuo Xiaonian, who was still in a panic just now, seemed to have made some decision at this time. didn't wait for Ling Menglan to reply, but glanced at Ling Menglan, and then said.
"There's no time. With that, I ran upstairs. ”
After finishing speaking, he directly pulled out his leg and ran to the third floor.
The footsteps of "Da Da" soon spread, and when she saw Zuo Xiaonian running upstairs, Ling Menglan subconsciously wanted to follow. But before he took a step and retracted it, gritting his teeth heavily, Ling Menglan finally retracted his foot and ran to the corridor on the second floor.
Rushed into the corridor on the second floor and found a random room and ran in, but the guest room door of this hotel was not locked, otherwise they would have even fewer places to hide.
It's better to keep your voice as quiet as possible, and you don't want the waiter to hear it. Ling Menglan twisted the doorknob to close the door, and then released the doorknob and closed the door little by little.
Just as she closed the door, the footsteps were heard.
As on the first floor, the waiter stepped into the cloister on the second floor. Step by step, I walked in and inspected each room one by one. The waiter was so careful that he didn't leave them with half a possible drop.
Soon came to the outside of the room where Ling Menglan was hiding, and the footsteps stopped outside. Ling Menglan could even feel that his hand was reaching for the doorknob.
I was trying to find something to use as a weapon. But the two hidden rooms were the same, except for the bed, chair, and some necessary supplies. Nothing else.
There is simply no way to find something that can be used for self-defense.
Ling Menglan, who couldn't even find a basic weapon, could only hide at the door with his mouth covered at this time. The only place she could hide now was that she was gambling, betting that the waiter would go straight into the bathroom to look for someone after the door opened. And at that time, I could sneak out from behind the door.
Covering his mouth tightly, for fear of revealing a little noise. At the same time, Ling Menglan was also relieved in her heart, the waiter was outside now, which meant that Zuo Xiaonian was safe.
At least she could take advantage of this opportunity to escape.
The hand had already touched the doorknob, and the lock had been unscrewed, and who knew that half of it was released. I don't know if I found something, but the waiter gave up opening the door.
didn't open the door but gave up coming in, and after the doorknob was released, there was the sound of walking again, and then Ling Menglan heard someone going upstairs.
The waiter abandoned the second floor and rushed to the third floor instead. Thinking of this, Ling Menglan's heart suddenly mentioned that Zuo Xiaonian was on the third floor, should he go up to save her?
With such a thought, she got up and planned to go out, but after thinking about it, she was worried that she would sneak downstairs while the waiter had just checked the second floor. Heng Zhu was still scared in his heart, and after some consideration, Ling Menglan decided to go downstairs first.
What she needs most now is a weapon for self-defense, and where is the weapon for self-defense?
That's the kitchen.
After making up her mind, Ling Menglan quietly opened the door, then poked her head out to make sure that there was no one, and then quickly went down the first floor.
The kitchen is located at the back of the front desk, and as long as you walk through the front desk, you will be in the kitchen.
After going downstairs, Ling Menglan ran straight there, pushed open the kitchen door through the front desk, and searched in the empty kitchen, Ling Menglan quickly found what she wanted.
Kitchen knife.
A kitchen knife used to chop vegetables.
Quickly ran over and took the sharp kitchen knife into his hand, and waited until his hand touched this weapon that could be used for self-defense, Ling Menglan's heart settled a little.
Regardless of whether the waiter was a human or a ghost, if he dared to disadvantage himself, don't blame himself for being unkind.
Holding a kitchen knife in his hand, this heart is also a lot more steady, and Ling Menglan, who didn't see Zuo Xiaonian on the first floor, was about to go upstairs again with a knife, but who knew that he heard a small sound from below.
It's not loud. It sounds like someone pulling on the cabinet though.
There are a lot of cupboards in the kitchen, because the seasonings need to be stocked. Under the flat table where Ling Menglan is now standing, there is a cabinet about one meter high. The cabinet is closed. I think there are some commonly used condiments in it.
Obviously, there is only one waiter in this hotel, but why did you hear the sound of the cabinet being opened? I would subconsciously think of that waiter.
Swallowing his saliva, he froze there and didn't dare to move, Ling Menglan's eyes stared at the cabinet in front of him. stared at it, and didn't dare to move away for half a minute.
He was staring at this, and suddenly the cabinet opened, and it was for someone to open it from within, and at the moment it was opened, a hand reached out from inside. Subconsciously jumped back a few steps to avoid this sudden stretch, and held the knife in front of him, Ling Menglan looked at the waiter curled up in the cabinet.
"Miss. I found you. ”
Saying these things faintly, the waiter curled up inside. The cabinets that should have been several compartments opened for some reason, and the waiter shrank inside, his body twisted.
When this person hid inside, he didn't even know.
The hand holding the knife began to tremble, especially when she saw the waiter holding his body and trying to climb out, Ling Menglan was even more nervous. I didn't dare to stay here, and I fled before the waiter came out.
Rushed out of the kitchen and began to look for a place to hide, the inn was so big. But she just couldn't find a suitable hiding place. looked around in a panic, and when he saw a sofa placed at the entrance, Ling Menglan ran straight there.
The sofa is not leaning against the wall, and there is probably a gap between the sofa and the wall. Ling Menglan didn't know why this inn was like this. But this gap can hide her. In particular, there is a curtain hanging between the sofa and the wall, so it is better to hide.
Hurriedly ran over, and the person hid in the curtain as soon as he got into it. When this person hid behind the curtain, Ling Menglan didn't dare to take a breath. He clenched the knife in his hand and tensed up. I'm afraid that there will be movement and the waiter will find out.
I had never found the sound of the waiter walking so loud, so loud that I could hear it really.
Listening to the waiter's footsteps, he walked out of the kitchen. It seemed like he was in the hall for a moment, then he turned around and walked in a certain direction.
But which direction it was, she couldn't tell. As if he had discovered her and didn't want to startle the snake, the waiter slowed down and crept up.
Hiding behind her head and swallowing her saliva, Ling Menglan's heart was about to jump out of her throat.
Don't find yourself, but don't find yourself.
The speed of praying in her heart became faster and faster, and Ling Menglan hid there and waited quietly, not hearing any sound for a long time, so that Ling Menglan began to wonder if the waiter had arrived elsewhere, and suddenly her body felt a chill.
It was a chill that naturally came from staring at the body all the time.
Someone is staring at him, and this person is ...... at this time
Slowly turning his body, he looked to the side, and saw through the gap in the slightly open curtain Ling Menglan outside. There are two curtains, Ling Menglan is one of them, and the other one is also hidden in it at this time.
In the cracks, you can see that the waiter is hiding there. The curtain rolled up and poked out only one head, and the waiter, who had his head exposed outside the curtain, stood there, staring at her through the gap.
Turning his head to meet the waiter's gaze, he noticed that his waiter was smiling.
With a grin, the waiter smiled and said, "Miss, I found you." ”
"Ah......h
A terrible scream, because she saw the waiter hiding in the opposite side, Ling Menglan was so frightened that she screamed repeatedly. Flusteredly, he waved the knife in his hand and ran out as he waved. After removing the curtain, Ling Menglan fled in a panic, and after she ran out, the waiter was still standing there with the curtain rolled.
Looking at Ling Menglan's back as she ran away in a panic, the waiter did not chase her immediately, but poked his head to look at her back and said, "Miss ran away again, hehe, it's okay, I'll find her again soon." ”
When he had said this, he went into the curtain, but he saw no one coming out from behind it. The curtain was silent, as if no one was in there at all.
Where? Where the hell? Where exactly are you hiding? Where is Zuo Xiaonian now, has he found a safe hiding place or has he already called this person to find out.
All kinds of chaotic things mixed into his mind at this time, Ling Menglan was helpless, but he didn't even know what to do. Rushed into the public restroom on the first floor, then found a cubicle and hid in.
The hotel may be for the convenience of guests, so there is also a separate toilet on the first floor, if the guests are in a hurry, they do not need to go back to their rooms, only need to borrow this public toilet on the first floor.
Such a design is reasonable.
And this is also a reasonable bathroom in an ordinary hotel, and it has become Ling Menglan's temporary hiding place at this time.
Hiding in the cubicle and sitting on the toilet, Ling Menglan shrunk her body and even shrunk her feet, and the whole person and cat would find themselves through the gap under the cubicle after the person came in the toilet.
Curled up and sitting there, Ling Menglan's body was trembling now, and she didn't dare to move.
Obviously, he was on the run, but the waiter always seemed to be able to detect where he was hiding, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally he found himself in the girls' bathroom.
Standing outside the door of the restroom, the waiter now wondering which compartment he was hiding.
There are not many compartments, and if he pushes them open one by one, he won't be able to jump out. Now Ling Menglan regrets it, so he shouldn't agree to Zuo Xiaonian's proposal for the two of them to run separately, if the two of them are together, they will still be two of them.
Maybe it's possible to live, but now?
She had heard footsteps and walked outside, then froze, only reaching out and pushing open the door of the cubicle, and she was completely exposed to his sight.
The knife in his hand tightened for a few more minutes, and Ling Menglan had already made up his mind, as long as this door was pushed open, he would definitely rush forward with the knife, no matter who opened the door.
The heart was raised to the throat, but the strange thing was that the door was not pushed open. Somehow, the waiter abruptly abandoned the cubicle, and then turned to leave.
The sound of "da-da" footsteps, that's the sound of leaving.
Left? Did he really give up?
Still can't be sure, so Ling Menglan can only continue to curl up there. I waited for about ten minutes, maybe longer, and there was still no sound outside.
At this time, Ling Menglan could breathe a sigh of relief.
Maybe the waiter had really given up on this place and was looking for it in other corners of the inn. couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Ling Menglan was about to tell her body to relax, but when her body relaxed slightly, the toilet under her body actually came from the sound of flushing.
The sound of "bang-la-la" was still very loud, so big that Ling Menglan's heart once again raised his throat.
Strange, I didn't touch the button of the toilet flush, how could there be water flushed out?
Because of this sudden flushing sound, Ling Menglan's voice froze again, and her body twisted back little by little, and when she saw a slender wooden stick placed on the button of the toilet, Ling Menglan was already frightened.
Looking up along this slender wooden stick, at the top of the compartment, Ling Menglan saw him.
The waiter.
I don't know when I got to the next door, and at this time I was lying on the top of the compartment, looking at myself with both hands on the probe.
And the stick with the flush button was the one he had reached in, so that he could find him.
Found myself again.
Grinning again, the waiter looked at Ling Menglan and said.
"Miss, I found you." (To be continued......)
