12 o'clock is a delicate time.

It signifies the end of the day, and the beginning of a new one.

In the hallway of the hotel, a round old-fashioned clock hangs with a tick when the hours, minutes, and seconds reach 12 o'clock.

Suddenly, there was a brief rush of alarm bells in the hallway.

Even though it was pouring rain outside and it was very noisy, the alarm of the clock was very sharp.

Every hotel will have a dim lighting when designing the corridors, because it will give people peace of mind and comfort.

Of course, at Lady Mary Shaw's inn, this is magnified infinitely.

At nightfall, the lights fade out, and the hallway is dark and deep, as if an invisible mouth has opened, and anyone who enters it will be completely devoured.

……

And in Du Wei's room.

He did not sleep, but sat on the bed and wiped his pistol with a clean cloth.

When I hear that hurried alarm chime.

Suddenly......

An inexplicable sense of gloom appeared in his heart, accompanied by irritability and other emotions caused by the loud voice.

"The alarm goes off at midnight, what a stupid person to make such a decision."

"No wonder this hotel doesn't have a single guest but me."

"I think it's just foreplay, though."

Du Wei wiped his gun with a sarcastic smile.

His tone was strange, expectant and impatient.

Whatever Lady Mary Shaw had secrets, he didn't care.

All he cares about is to solve the evil spirit incident, and take this opportunity to find a reason to reasonably expose his evil spirit, so as to go into the church and get more information he needs.

And beside him, on the bed, there are many things.

First, there were two white masks, one full of cracks and one brand new.

Then there are two joker cards, Sharp Knives......

The Holy Nail in a narrow box, and the lighter that can deal with evil spirits.

As for the black umbrella, it was placed next to his lap.

It can be said that it is all-round protection.

It is impossible for any evil spirit to appear in the room and kill him easily, not even a nun.

And, at the head of the bed, there is a red balloon tied to it.

Suddenly......

Du Wei turned his head to look at the door.

In the state of spiritual vision, I could feel that there was a gloomy aura, which was gradually brewing at the door.

"Funny ......"

His eyes were a little cold, but his whole person was still very calm.

Even, he only glanced at it before retracting his gaze, lifted his trench coat, and packed up the bits and pieces on the bed one by one.

This time, because he wanted to take Pennywise with him, he deliberately bought a wide trench coat with many pockets inside, enough to put his belongings against evil spirits.

Then.

Du Wei picked up the black umbrella that had been put away, stood up expressionlessly, and walked towards the door.

Meantime......

In the room, the light bulb also seemed to have an unstable voltage, and began to flicker brightly and dimly.

The temperature drops abruptly at a frequency that the human body can perceive.

It's a little cold......

But Du Wei completely ignored this feeling, the evil spirit events he experienced were too intensive, and just this level of abnormal change had no effect on him at all.

However, there is also a reason for the evil spirit......

Hunter is a process of transformation into an evil spirit, and sooner or later a person will become more and more weird, more and more cold and numb.

From body to soul, it is a process of depravity.

Da Da Da ......

Footsteps rang out.

Du Wei walked to the door and stopped.

He was now very close to the door, leaning forward so that he could see through the cat's eye, and he could pull the door open with a single pull.

However......

At this time, he heard a sound of footsteps coming from next door.

Da Da Da ......

It is exactly the same as the sound of your own footsteps, whether it is the frequency or the size of the sound, there is no difference at all.

If there is a difference, it is that there is a time difference in the footsteps next door.

Immediately, a strange idea came to Du Wei's mind.

Is there a person standing in the doorway in the next room?

However, there was no one else in this hotel but himself, and since entering the room, he has not heard any movement next door.

Not human......

He immediately made his judgment.

But the one next door shouldn't be an evil spirit.

Because the anomaly found in the state of spiritual vision only appeared outside the door of his room.

Da Da Da ......

Footsteps rang out again.

This time, it came from the room on the left.

The room where Du Wei lives is in the middle of two rooms.

When he walked from the side of the bed to the door, the footsteps he produced seemed to cause some special change, so that the same footsteps appeared in the left and right rooms.

"It's like a boring prank...... Or rather, low-end scary means. ”

Du Wei's tone was very calm, and after speaking, he stretched out his hand and put it on the doorknob.

Babbling......

Twist the handle and pull the door open.

A cold wind blows in your face.

As if his vision had been affected, a vague shadow flashed in front of him.

The anomalies seen in the psychic state disappeared directly.

A door, closed and opened, as if it were a button, once touched, produces the opposite change.

Du Wei lowered his head slightly.

On the floor of the corridor outside the door, there is a pool of water stains.

It's as if something was standing outside the door before, waiting for you.

"But why are you running?"

Du Wei was a little incomprehensible, thought about it and walked out.

The entire corridor was dim and frightening, and except for the flickering light that seeped through from the opening of the door of his room, his vision was severely affected.

In addition, because the light bulb is flickering, the area that can be seen by the naked eye has also become flickering and dimming.

It's like turning the lights on and off.

......

The electricity sounded, and the light bulb in the house went out.

Without the presence of light, Du Wei stood in the doorway and fell directly into darkness.

But he didn't care, instead staring carefully at the end of the hallway.

In the darkness, there seems to be something.

In the state of spiritual vision, a vague humanoid silhouette can be faintly seen, standing at the end of the corridor, staring at a pair of empty and dead eyes, just staring at himself.

Malicious intent gradually deepened.

But Du Wei looked at it coldly, his eyes were also cold and dead, without a trace of emotions that should have existed.

"Evil spirits?"

He said something inexplicably, then carried a black umbrella in his left hand, and pulled out a sharp knife suspected of being an evil spirit medium from his windbreaker with his right hand, and prepared to walk over to take a look......

But before he could take a step, his shoulders sank slightly.

Slight...... With a snap, a pale, slender woman's hand emerged from the room behind him and rested on his shoulder.
