My heart pounded to my throat, and my muscles stiffened.

His eyes were fixed on the old man.

He was dressed in black and had a chubby build—bloated, to be exact.

If you look closely, he is not squatting, but kneeling on the ground in a very peculiar position, facing our bed.

OMG! How could there be a person here? At this moment, the doubts in my heart reached the climax.

The door of the hotel room is automatically locked, which means that after closing from the inside, the outside person will not be able to open it without the key or the room card - there is another way, and that is to break the door.

But that's even more impossible!

As far as I know, in addition to the room card in our hands, the hotel will also leave a room card for backup, just in case.

Could it be that this old man came in with a spare key card from the hotel?

When I think about it, I feel angry.

This is a major accident in the hotel! It's illegal, and for that alone, I can sue this hotel, and I'm 100% going to win.

On second thought, something is wrong!

For no reason, what is this fat old man doing in our room in the middle of the night?

Anger was once again replaced by doubt.

I couldn't help but look more closely at the fat old man kneeling on the side of the room.

Hey? This old man is a little familiar!

Thinking about it again, my scalp suddenly went numb - isn't this the fat boss of the antique shop who bought our jade pendant today!

How could it be him?

At this moment, I didn't feel very good.

My intuition tells me that things may not be as simple as I just thought - this old man is kneeling here motionless, could it have something to do with the five jade pendants?

I've experienced something similar before.

grabbed a piece of clothing casually, didn't bother to put it on at this moment, just simply wrapped around the body, covered a certain part, and then tiptoed towards the old man.

The fat old man kept his head down motionlessly, and the whole person was like a clay cast, motionless.

He didn't move until I walked up to him.

This makes me wonder more and more.

A chill welled up in my heart.

This old man can't be dead, right? This...... I'm afraid this can't be explained.

I bent down and reached out to probe the fat old man's snort, although I guessed it, but I was still startled after feeling a burst of coldness, sure enough! There is no feeling of breathing at all, and the person should be dead.

Standing in front of the old man, and looking at his strange kneeling posture, I couldn't help but wonder even more.

"You...... What are you doing standing in the doorway? ”

Just when I was puzzled, Wu Jinghan's voice came from behind me.

When I turned around, I saw Wu Jinghan sitting on the bed, looking at me sleepily.

"Ahh......h How can there be someone in front of you! ”

Immediately, Wu Jinghan saw the old man kneeling on the ground, because of her limited eyesight, I guess she could only see the blurred figure of the old man.

"Don't be afraid! It's okay......"

I'll go over and hug Wu Jinghan first.

"He's ...... Who is it? How can it be in our room? ”

"It's the fat boss who bought our jade pendant, and I don't know how he got in...... But the man is no longer breathing—dead! ”

"Ahh Dead? How so...... How did he die here? ”

"Don't panic just yet—I'm ...... I'll give Haoyu a call first......"

I just wanted to get my phone, but Wu Jinghan grabbed my wrist.

"I'm scared of- you...... You turn on the lights first! ”

"Good!" I took Wu Jinghan's hand with one hand and stretched my body so long that I could barely reach the switch on the wall.

With a burst of light in front of him, Wu Jinghan also saw the appearance of the fat old man clearly, and screamed again.

"Ahh

"I'm weird too......"

"I've seen this strange kneeling position before!"

Wu Jinghan said with certainty.

"Have you seen it? It can't be! Where have you seen it? When? ”

Wu Jinghan didn't seem to be as nervous as she was just now.

"It was the ancient tomb found in the western suburbs of Jinan some time ago - to be precise, on the cave wall of the ancient tomb, I was very impressed at that time, those people on the wall of the ancient tomb knelt like this, and at that time Mr. Wu said that this was the most standard kneeling ceremony in the Zhou Dynasty."
