Carter Murphy was flooded with snow on December 7, 10 years, but he couldn't be sure when he arrived at the hotel in 10 years—

The time inside the hotel was relatively chaotic, and he had seen Indians in indigenous costumes, soldiers in the uniforms of the Third Reich, and even suspected performance artists or futurists in astronaut costumes.

The staff at the hotel were silent about inquiries about the current date.

On the contrary, the crowd was more welcoming, and one of the residents who lived next door to him (a bearded Portuguese man) took him to a housing committee made up of hundreds of residents.

He was briefed on the committee, as well as the rules for surviving in the hotel.

In addition to abiding by the accommodation guidelines issued by the hotel staff, hotel guests must listen less and think less if they want to survive well.

No matter what kind of abnormal situation you encounter, just turn away without seeing it.

Unless it affects your life safety and living experience, you must notify the hotel staff.

Since Carter Murphy only stayed at the hotel for three days, he didn't know much about it.

As for the post-coma experience,

According to Carter Murphy's own account (he was silent on his typewriter for a long time), his consciousness became blurred, and his whole person seemed to melt, escaping and expanding, forgetting time and space.

In the dark, he felt that something had intruded into his territory,

He subconsciously had the idea of observing and probing, and a part of his vague consciousness stretched out, lodged in some shiny carrier (according to hindsight, that is, the fountain pen),

Carter Murphy's entire consciousness was in a state of chaos with too much anesthetic, and he instinctively answered the questions posed by the outside world (hindsight, that is, the mule),

Until the other party asked about the current time, Carter Murphy's consciousness suddenly felt a wave of irritability and anger, and subconsciously wanted to destroy and hurt.

As a result, the mule was covered in wounds, and blood was gushing out.

Later, Li Ang and others arrived and began to persecute him - strange to say, the persecution did not make him fall into a coma again, but gradually became sober and able to communicate with people normally.

Correspondingly, Carter Murphy's consciousness gradually shrank from the state of escaping in room 0408 as a whole, and finally entrenched on the typewriter.

It can't fill an entire room like before.

Carter Murphy, as the only conscious anomaly encountered by Leon and others since they entered the hotel, said words containing a huge amount of information.

Unfortunately, he did not know the cause, nature, and mode of action of the hotel's anomaly, nor did he know the identity of the ghost of the hat and the old woman in red.

During the entire questioning, in addition to typing out on the typewriter where Carter Murphy was staying, the Black Saint Son next to him was also recording the conversation with pen and paper.

He circled a few suspicious points, and just as he wanted to inquire carefully, he heard the ethereal and low voice of "one missing".

The players present knew that the source of the sound was the figure of the hat, but strangely, Carter Murphy, who claimed to have no idea what the hat was, seemed to be in a great panic, and the whole typewriter vibrated wildly.

In the player's spiritual sense, the black energy mass residing in the typewriter quickly escaped and disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Leon asked the mule to stay in room 0408, optimistic about the typewriter,

Together with the Black Saint, he opened the door and walked through the corridor - a black suitcase that the Black Saint had left at the door of the elevator room had not been refreshed by the characteristics of the corridor, so Leon and the Black Saint Son could enter the elevator directly.

The two pressed the down button, the elevator room reached the second floor, and the elevator door opened.

At the door, there happened to be six slender figures wearing hats and walking through the corridor.

Under the observation from a quiet distance, the sense of oppression brought by the figure of the hat was even stronger, even if he stayed in the elevator room, which was claimed to be absolutely safe, the Black Saint still felt that his breath was frozen, and his whole body was still, and he did not have any fighting spirit at all.

The six figures in the corridor went straight past the door of the elevator hall and walked to the right along the corridor on the second floor.

After a brief period of convulsions, the Black Saint Son recovered, hesitated for a moment, and still pressed the button on the third floor of the elevator.

In this way, the two kept taking the elevator and followed the footsteps of the figure of the hat and ascended.

3rd floor, 4th floor,

When he reached the fifth floor, Li Ang took the first step, and returned to room 0508 before the figure of the hat came—and the other party did not attack, walking on his own, muttering "one less" from time to time, and walked straight to the stairwell.

Leon returned to the elevator room and continued to observe with the Black Saint, and when he reached the eighth floor, the figure of the hat that stayed in the middle of the corridor suddenly stopped, stood for a while, and then fell to the floor and disappeared.

Leon and the Black Saint continued to watch for a while, exchanging information with 13mark, who lives on the eighth floor and has a bye tonight, through paper, and then ascended to the ninth floor through the elevator.

Only then did I find that the door to 0908's room was open, and the room inside was in a mess, and Bob, who lived in the room, had disappeared.

Bob is probably dead.

As for the cause of death...

Bai Hao was using his mental power to flip through the diary left by Bob.

The journal was filthy, covered in blood, hair, and indecipherable substances, and the words inside were clear at first, but the further back they went, the more scribbled and illegible they became.

"Bob has been in the dark space for at least six months, maybe a year or even years."

Bai Hao was expressionless on his face, and said calmly: "He tried to find a way out to no avail, the food was quickly exhausted, and his spirit gradually collapsed,

But he found that no matter how hard his body was hit, he would not die.

When his consciousness was about to collapse, he unexpectedly discovered that his body was able to inflict extremely small effects on the metal cabinet, and then began a long process of scraping the cabinet.

However, when he opened the cabinet and took out the note, he was blind and unable to read the note.

As a result, he fell into complete despair, and left a large number of unexplained babble in his diary, which was never recorded again.

At present, there are three doubts,

First, the cause of his death. The diary states that he has attempted suicide hundreds of times, but has not been able to end his life or strip himself of consciousness. How did he die in this case?

Second, is it only his consciousness that enters the pitch-black space, or does the whole person, including consciousness, enter the pitch-black space?

If it's the former, why does the diary stay here?

If it's the latter, then what about his body? Was it moved, or was something else happening?

Third, is his death related to the figure of the hat? Why did the sound of the hat suddenly stop shouting 'one less' when it reached the eighth floor, and disappeared directly? ”

Bai Haozheng raised his own questions, and the players present stared in contemplation and were silent.

Ω raised his head and asked in a hoarse voice, "What was written on the note that Bob found in the metal cabinet in the pitch-black space?" ”

Bai Haozheng glanced at him, snapped his fingers, and the invisible tentacles formed by the telekinetic power rolled up the crumpled note placed on the table and handed it to Ω.

On it, there are two lines of words.

"If you have a button in front of you and press it, you will be in a quiet space in total darkness for a hundred years, and when you come out, you will receive a billion in cash and completely lose the memory of the dark space. Will you press it? ”

"What are you kidding? I'm popping! ”
