Chapter 5: Maggie's Diary
After groping around for a long time, Shen Xing finally figured out the structure of the hotel.
Coming to the 4th floor, Gu Heng just came out of 504, his expression was solemn, and after seeing Shen Xing, he said directly: "I found something." What are you getting? ”
Shen Xing first told Gu Heng about the main entrance of the hotel and what he had encountered with his boss Vader, and finally added: "I also know some things about the hotel from the front desk downstairs, let me talk about it first." ”
Shen Xing began to tell what he knew:
The hotel has 13 floors.
The first floor of the hotel is the reception hall, and the young lady who received the guests was named Anna, 27 years old, who came to the hotel three years ago to apply for a job. She's been here ever since she became the front desk.
According to her account, business at the hotel has been tepid for three years, with about three or four people staying every day. However, every year the hotel holds a Halloween ball, and many people show up at the hotel on this day, and they are all Halloween ball attendees.
The second floor of the hotel is a private room, where guests usually eat and dance on the second floor, go up the stairs and go inside, there are service rooms on the left and right, and there is a door in the middle that leads to the ballroom, where the dance party is held.
But every year Anna stays at the front desk at this time to receive guests, and when all the guests arrive, she goes to the back kitchen to direct the continuous supply of wine and food at the reception, so she doesn't know what will happen during the ball.
The fourth, sixth and twelfth floors of the hotel are all guest rooms, and there are 13 rooms on each floor, but the room number and order are inconsistent, for example, the former one is 501, and the latter one may be 505.
Each floor has a shared bathroom, and the elevator can only reach the 12th floor, as the 13th floor is the office of the owner, Mr. Vader, which can only be reached by Mr. Vader's private elevator.
The hotel's restaurant is on the third floor, which has both private rooms and regular seating. People usually eat breakfast and dinner here because they are all buffets at this time, and lunch is only eaten here by a small number of people.
The fifth floor has a variety of entertainment programs, including swimming, billiards, fitness, etc.
Hearing this, it is all the basic information of the hotel. Gu Heng then asked, "Did anything unusual happen in the hotel?" ”
Shen Xing nodded: "Yes!" In 1984, there was a tragedy in the hotel - the black rafflesia incident, the deceased was stabbed several times and was abused to death, and the scene was full of black rafflesia. Several more similar incidents followed. ”
Gu Heng's face twitched: "That must be very stinky!" This is probably the worst mental torture! ”
Shen Xing then said: "And the hotel was built in 1970, and about 13 years after it was built, his first owner committed suicide. Since then, there have been some supernatural events in the hotel from time to time, such as the table moving on its own, the things that were originally placed in the room falling into the outside hallway, and the sound of footsteps at night. ”
After taking a sip of water and moistening his dry throat, Shen Xing continued: "However, most of the things I feel are hearsay, adding oil and vinegar, at least there have been no supernatural murders. Since then, the hotel business has not been very good. Speaking of this, Shen Xing also imitated Anna's helpless expression at that time, spread his hands, and stuck out his tongue.
"Well, now it seems that we have at least one homicidal maniac. The important thing is Halloween, you see, most of the events refer to the Halloween prom, and it's strange that the people Anna says don't come to the prom, but show up. This meant that Anna subconsciously showed up at the hotel that day, and not checked in normally. ”
Gu Heng expressed his thoughts on these clues, and then said, "I'll also talk about what I found." The fourth layer is strange, it is a separate empty layer. It's really unlucky, because I just found this thing in 404. ”
As he spoke, he took out a diary and showed the contents to Shen Xing:
Day 1: Me, Jack, and the kids came to town for the first time and stayed at this Hehel inn. The conditions are really nice and the kids love the food.

Day 2: Today Jack went out to look for a job, and Alice went out to find her boyfriend, and that young man was really good-looking and very nice to her. I met the owner of the inn, Mr. Vader, who was a gentleman and patiently showed me around the inn.
It's just, Emily, this kid, she's acting a little strangely. When I went back, she was whispering to someone. I asked her, and she said to talk to Vivien, who was her new friend. She must just be a little lonely. I hope I'm not wrong.
Maggie 1988.10.26
"Emily is their little girl, it seems that Maggie has found it strange at this time, but unfortunately she didn't think much of it." Gu Heng explained.
The two continued to watch:
Day 3: Mr. Vader invited us to the Halloween Ball, and I said yes, which is a great honor.
Jack and Alice are also excited, but Emily is a little unhappy. I asked her what was wrong and she said she didn't want to go. I asked why, and she said there would be a lot of baddies at the ball! It's not a good thing for this kid to be so withdrawn.
Maggie 1988.10.27
The kid seemed to be able to see them, and even communicated with Vivien, who must have known what was at the ball. Monsters? What kind of monster? Shen Xing's heart was full of doubts, so he could only continue to read the rest of the diary:
Day 4: The hotel was a little deserted, and here I met a young lady - Miss Sally. She is beautiful and seems to be a couple with Mr. Vader. Her skin is so good, and when I asked her what kind of cosmetics she used, she just smiled and said she was just eating healthy food regularly. For some reason, I felt a little furious when I heard this, so I didn't ask more.
Jack he finally got a job, and our lives are going to be better. Alice is out again today, and Emily, she, seems to have been playing hide and seek with that friend she fantasized about? Is it because I'm too careful, it feels like a hotel......
Maggie 1988.10.28
Shen Xing jumped up, a little disappointed: "This part was torn off?" ”
"Well, it should be some important clues, and it is estimated that some important secrets of the hotel are directly told."
Day 5: Oh my God, the waitress who washed the sheets was holding a bloody sheet, and she told me that it was just accidentally made by the tenant upstairs when he was still hey. I looked at the amount of bleeding and didn't dare say anything.
I saw a strange young lady to-day, who yesterday was mad and wanted to leave the hotel, and today she reappeared in the hotel with a look of despair. I didn't dare go up and talk to her.
Oh, my God! Oh, my God! I was suddenly a little scared: I saw the child Vivien that Emily was talking about, she was at the end of the hallway, I just blinked, why did she disappear?
Maggie 1988.10.29
Day 6: There was an inexplicable knocking sound upstairs last night, 3 times each time, these people really don't know what to do! I asked Chrissy at the front desk, but she said that there was no one upstairs, and I was a little scared.
Jack took us to a big meal and we were all happy. I told Jack about what had happened recently, and he didn't think it was a big deal.
No, there must be something here, I decided to check it out. It was only after communicating with Chrissy that I found out that the horrific murder was happening here, God! There was something in the hostel that I could feel.
Emily? What did she know? I decided to leave as soon as I attended Mr. Vader's Halloween Ball, I couldn't stay here longer!
Maggie 1988.10.30
Day 7: Today is the Halloween Ball. Jack and the kids were all dressed up beautifully. A lot of people came to the hotel, most of them were young and ...... young Something is not normal. I still didn't think much about it, so I went to the prom and left.
They can't get out! I can't get out either! No! No! Emily leaves. That's nice!
Maggie 1988.10.31
At the end of the diary, there was a large blank space from the place where it left, and then it was written in large letters in blood. Crooked and slanted, the color is extremely dark, and you can see Maggie's fear and despair at that time.
"They must have met with something at the Halloween Ball. Unfortunately, there are not enough clues. However, it looks like Emily left in the end, and she must have been helped by Vivien. Shen Xing sighed.
"Well, it seems that the goal of the mission to survive is that we need to survive in the hotel, and we need to pay attention to those strange things every day, and the Halloween Ball is probably the last chance. What may happen to us at Halloween, as long as we survive, we should be able to pass the test. Gu Heng gave the answer.
Then he went on to analyze: "There are a lot of problems with this hotel. The first is 13, which is a bad number, because at the Last Supper, Judas betrayed Jesus, and he was the 13th guest, so 13 usually represents something bad in the West. Not to mention that there are mandala flowers here. ”
"It seems that we are involved in the dual mission of supernatural and realistic murder this time. And now the important characters are known to be the boss Mr. Vader, and the Miss Sally, we haven't met her yet, but as far as the diary says she eats something healthy, it's probably not a good thing! ”
Shen Xing was dumbfounded, on the one hand, Gu Heng's analysis, and on the other hand, the difficulty of this task.
Depend on! I haven't opened the usage of points, this can still be a novice task, the train pits people!
scolded the train in his heart, he couldn't help but be a little depressed: he had just graduated, and he was about to enjoy a good life, and he didn't finish chasing it, he didn't finish eating the food, and he didn't finish the game, how could he end up like this!
At this time, Gu Heng seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly asked Shen Xing, his voice was full of doubts and anxiety: "Anna said that the first owner of the hotel committed suicide at that time, what is his name?" ”
Shen Xing thought about it, his face suddenly became very frightened, his eyes widened, he couldn't believe it! He slowly faced Gu Heng, with a hint of trembling, and said, "His name, Vader!! ”
