Shen Xing approached and looked at the mirror carefully.

The mirror was oval in shape and hung with a silver border embroidered with flowers he did not recognize. Those flowers seem to have a strange magical power, and people can't take their eyes off it when they look at it, and slowly sink into it.

Suddenly, Gu Heng's voice pulled Shen Xing back: "Mandala, the symbol of the demon." Legend has it that the mandala is open and in the middle of the barren desert, once you see the mandala, you can never leave the desert! ”

Shen Xing woke up, as if he had broken free from a dream, and felt that his hairs stood up, and he hurriedly looked away.

"Thanks! If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened. ”

The girl next to her, who had stopped crying, stood up tremblingly, with tears still on her face, and told her own story.

Her name is Lin Wei, she is a college student, she used to work part-time in a bubble tea shop, and then she looked at her mobile phone too much when she was on the bus, and when she got off the bus, she found herself in front of a big station, surrounded by a forest, densely packed, without a trace of light. She could only shout loudly, but unexpectedly, the sound of leaves "gargling" suddenly sounded in the woods, followed by a strange cry.

"I'm sure there's something in there." Lin Wei's voice trembled, and her eyes were frightened.

"It's supposed to be trying to push you into the station. But if you don't go, I don't know what's going on! ”

After chatting for a while, Lin Wei decided to go back to her room to rest, while the duo decided to look for clues and see what was in the hotel.

Gu Heng decided to go upstairs and take a look at the 4th floor.

He had just found a photo of a family of four in his room on the front and 404 on the back, so he was looking for a clue there.

Shen Xing didn't keep either, he decided to go to the hall on the first floor to have a look.

Walking down the spiral staircase, he looked around.

How so? Shen Xing was puzzled.

I saw that the front entrance of the hotel was no longer a gray platform, but a modern avenue full of people. Countless pedestrians walked by, and the noise of cars came from the two transparent glass doors at the door, and modern society was placed in front of him.

He ran over quickly, pushed open the door, and the sunlight seemed to shine on his face for a moment, as if it was all a dream, and when he woke up, it was gone.

There is still a glass door in front of me.

This...... Back to where you started?

It seems that I will not be able to get out of this hotel without completing the task. But on the train, I saw a gray sky, an oppressive hotel, and those crows. Is it just the background of this mission?

Thinking about it, a sound of footsteps came from behind.

Turning his head, he saw an English gentleman, wearing a black top hat and bow tie, holding a hand in his hand, pacing gracefully down from the second floor.

"Hello my guest, I'm Vader, the owner of the inn, is there anything I can serve you!" Fluent English came out of his mouth.

Shen Xing, as a scumbag, should not have understood it, but he ended up hearing standard Mandarin.

Realizing that this should be the universal language communication given to him by the power of the mysterious fog, he couldn't help but joke in his heart: Boss, let's listen to it in Cantonese!

Of course, business still has to be done. Shen Xing let out the first awkward chat:

"Boss, the weather is nice today!"

There was silence. Vader picked up his mobile phone, looked at the time, then put away the phone, and started the conversation again: "It's good that you're satisfied, I don't know if the room is comfortable?" ”

"Well, it's comfortable." Shen Xing paused, deciding to use advanced means to get the information he wanted from him. "Add Facebook and find out?"

"What's that?"

"Well, it's a chatter."

"Sorry, I haven't heard of it." Vader smiled and continued, "If nothing else, I hope to invite you to Halloween Carnival in seven days' time, when there will be a lot of guests, and I think you will enjoy it!" ”

"Well, I'll think about it." didn't refuse, didn't agree, hung him first, and waited for the changes.

Vader nodded, looking very happy and leaving in no hurry.

Shen Xing breathed a sigh of relief, his footsteps suddenly paused, and muttered, "No, his mobile phone ......"

Thinking back, the scene at that time appeared in his mind: the style of the mobile phone was very old-fashioned, it was a push-button type, it should be around 1960 to 1970, he looked about 35 years old, how could he use such an old thing? And modern people, who don't use chat tools. Foreign Facebook, domestic QQ WeChat, should not be an exception.

And...... Looking at the modern facilities of the lobby, LCD TV, drinking fountain, elevator......

These are all now. That is, it is not the time difference between the hotel and the outside, but the owner! He must have lived to the present, and because he couldn't leave the hotel like us, he didn't know what was going on in the outside world. Then he is at least seventy or eighty years old!

Old monsters! Shen Xing couldn't help but think of those legends that kept his youth forever: vampires, demons, and monsters......

Shaking his head and throwing those horrible thoughts out of his mind, he left.

--------------------

At this time, on the top floor, inside Vader's office.

The well-groomed ones here are divided into two places. The high one has a billiard table on which a pool cue and colored balls are placed. Next to it is a dark brown wine cabinet with a lot of rare wines. On the lower level, there are three large beige sofas around a round mahogany table. Ahead is the rooftop, where you can enjoy a beautiful view of the outside world.

When Vader returned, he took a bottle of Lafite, opened it, and poured the wine. He took the glass goblet, shook it gently, and then looked at the bustling city outside, took a sip, looking intoxicated and enjoying it very much.

A hot pale blonde haired girl walked up to him. She wore a long black dress, her amber eyes were dotted with red eye lines, and her high heels were regularly on the ground.

"Vader, another batch of newcomers are coming?" The voice is delicate and charming.

"Well, it looks like this year's Halloween dance party is going to be a lot of fun, isn't it, Lisa?" Vader looked back at her, took her into his arms, rested his head in her ear and whispered.

Lisa just gave him a blank look, came out of his arms, turned to pick up another glass, and began to drink.

After a while, she looked at her feet, or rather at the floors of those taskers under her feet, and said lightly: "There are more than 30 people, but with them, there should be fewer people, and it won't be enough for us to do it ourselves." After saying that, she was a little dissatisfied with the wine in her hand, poured some of it, and then walked to a painting next to her.

The painting depicts the hotel, and there is a statue of a weeping angel next to it.

She turned the head of the angel statue, and the wall behind the painting began to move backwards, revealing a dark room.

There was a stone platform with a crystal cup containing a bright red viscous liquid.

Pour some into your own cup and shake gently until they are well mixed.

Lisa leaned lazily against the wall with one hand, her lips slightly curled upward, and with a mysterious smile, she raised her glass to Vader!
