Chapter 46: The Staircase

When Song Xiao heard Hu Qianqiu say this, his jaw was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground, and after saying "goodbye", he turned his head and left.

Hu Qianqiu scolded with a smile: "Come back to Lao Tzu." Have you forgotten what I told you before? ”

"What?" Song Xiao turned around and asked.

"As I said, all of this may be just a game for Ghostface, and this time he didn't make sense to deduce his position, and he deliberately did it to advance the game, but also so that I could control some of his information, so that he wouldn't have an advantage on his own, so that the meaning of the game would be lost."

Hu Qianqiu continued: "So although we will meet him directly in the afternoon, there should be no danger to our lives, he wants us to die, it is too easy, there is no need to go through such a big effort."

In addition, you should know that Yuan Liuli can see the qi on people's bodies, before we had the ghost eye, she had seen a thick death qi on our bodies, only thanks to our encounter with Xuan Qingzi, the death qi gradually dissipated, and not long ago I just separated from her, since she didn't see the death qi on me, it means that our operation can basically be determined that there is no danger to life, since we will not die, and I have set an escape route, the rest just need to act at the opportunity and adapt to the situation. ”

Song Xiao nodded, "There is some truth to it." Tell me, even if he doesn't threaten our lives, how can we get him to undo the spell on us, and at the same time let him let Yu Liuyi go? Say it with your mouth? ”

Hu Qianqiu nodded, "It's not that I haven't thought about this possibility, after all, what is impossible in the eyes of ordinary people may not be the same situation when it comes to a madman." ”

Song Xiao glanced at Hu Qianqiu with disdain, "You are also a madman." ”

Hu Qianqiu smiled and said his true plan, "Since the ghost-faced man likes to play games so much, then we may just enter another game when we find him, I guess, he may want to bet something with me, and the bet may be the spell on our body, or Yu Liuyi's free body." ”

Song Xiao nodded, "It is indeed in line with the idea of a pervert." ”

Hu Qianqiu looked at Song Xiao and said with a smile: "Of course, the bet is also very likely to be your and Yu Liuyi's lives, and the ghost-faced man wants me to choose one of the two." ”

"Your sister, why don't you say that I came to choose the lives of the two of you?"

Hu Qianqiu smiled, didn't explain, just put his arm around Song Xiao's shoulders and said, "Don't worry, whether it's you or her, I will save you!" No one is allowed to die! ”

Song Xiao smiled bitterly, "I hope so, if there is really something, Lao Tzu will not let you go." ”

"If you really become a ghost, remember to give me the lottery numbers for the next lottery to dream, and I will burn more paper money for you."

"Fuck your uncle."

Hu Qianqiu and Song Xiao discussed some things again, and two hours later, the two of them braved the wind to the front of the hotel.

Maybe it's because the typhoon is coming, and the temperature in the whole city is a few degrees lower, Hu Qianqiu and Song Xiao stand at the door of the hotel, feeling a little cold.

Song Xiao rubbed his arm, "I didn't think it before, but now the more I look at it, the more I feel that this hotel is cold, you said that on the day we found the pinhole camera, did the ghost-faced man already stay in the hotel." ”

"You'd think that's mostly psychological, and I don't know if Ghostface was already staying at the hotel at the time, but it doesn't matter anymore."

The door of the hotel was still closed, and Hu Qianqiu and Song Xiao went around to the back of the hotel. Hu Qianqiu stretched out his hand and pushed the back door of the hotel, and sure enough, it opened as soon as he pushed it.

Hu Qianqiu and Song Xiao glanced at each other, nodded to each other, and walked into the hotel.

Although it was only four o'clock in the afternoon, due to the approaching typhoon, the outside of the hotel was also dark and oppressive, and there was no light source inside the hotel, which looked dark and weird, Song Xiao couldn't help but feel a little worried, and although Hu Qianqiu looked calm, he was still a little nervous in his heart.

Song Xiao searched around the hotel's electric switch with the help of the flashlight of his mobile phone, and said as he walked: "This ghost-faced man has lived here for so long, and he doesn't turn on the lights, which is really power-saving." ”

Hu Qianqiu smiled helplessly, "He's hiding here for fear of being discovered, won't he be exposed if he turns on the lights?" And a large part of the reason why people need light is because they are afraid of the dark, do you think people like Ghostface people are afraid of the dark? ”

Song Xiao was stunned for a moment, "What you kid said makes sense." ”

Since he had to face the ghost-faced man later, Hu Qianqiu didn't dare to act rashly, and after he and Song Xiao groped for a while on the first floor, they finally found the electric switch on the wall of the front desk. After pulling the electric switch, I found the power switch on the first floor, and after turning it on, the lights were brighter in an instant, which was much brighter than the outside of the hotel, and the anxiety and tension in the hearts of the two people were suddenly relieved a lot.

"Hu Shao, which room do you think the ghost-faced man will be?"

Hu Qianqiu said without thinking: "Although there are many rooms in this hotel, the ghost-faced man should not find a room to live in, since he wants us to find him, he will naturally find a room with special significance that we and he both know." ”

"You mean, the room that Yu Xuefei opened when she had an accident?"

Hu Qianqiu nodded, that was also the room where he and Song Xiao found the pinhole camera, and they also had ghost eyes, so to speak, that room was the beginning of all this.

Song Xiao also remembered that the room number of that room was 421, and after seeing Hu Qianqiu nodding, he immediately wanted to press the elevator, but was pulled by Hu Qianqiu.

"What are you doing here?"

Hu Qianqiu let go of him, "Regardless of whether this elevator can work normally after being stopped for more than 20 days, even if there will be no accidents, there is no guarantee that the ghost-faced man will not trap his subordinates inside, although he should not kill us, but it is difficult to guarantee that he will not use other cruel means to deal with us, if there is really something in the elevator, then we can't run if we want to." ”

When Song Xiao heard Hu Qianqiu say this, the half-stretched hand immediately retracted, and Tang sighed, "It seems that you can only take the stairs." ”

Hu Qianqiu nodded, "You have to be careful when you take the stairs, maybe the game has already started." ”

When Song Xiao heard this, he swallowed his saliva and followed behind Hu Qianqiu tremblingly.

As soon as Hu Qianqiu stepped on the stairs, he felt something strange, as if he had passed through a layer of invisible matter. When he turned around and just wanted to remind Song Xiao, Song Xiao had already stepped on the stairs, and from Song Xiao's stunned eyes, Hu Qianqiu could also see that he also felt the substance, he shook his head, turned around and walked up.

Although he didn't know what that layer of matter was, but the matter had come to this, Hu Qianqiu had no choice but to continue to walk up, and although Song Xiao was also puzzled in his heart, he saw that Hu Qianqiu didn't say a word, so he had to follow him closely.

Hu Qianqiu and the others went up from the first floor, and they should have been able to reach the second floor by walking more than a dozen steps, but Hu Qianqiu and Song Xiao walked around for a while, but they still didn't see the second floor, and the stairs and the walls on both sides seemed to be infinitely stretched and extended.

Hu Qianqiu reacted immediately, stopped, and called Song Xiao behind him, "Stop!" ”

"What's wrong?" Song Xiao asked suspiciously.

"Don't you notice? We kept going up, but we didn't even reach the second floor. ”

Song Xiao was stunned, "I just kept staring at your back, I didn't pay attention to the surroundings, and I thought we had reached the fourth layer." ”

Hu Qianqiu thought for a moment, "You wait here, I'll go up and take a look." ”

Song Xiao was stunned for a moment, "Are you going to throw me here alone?" ”

Hu Qianqiu glared at him, "Are you afraid of a hammer?" You've been practicing for so long, you're so much stronger than me, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of? ”

Song Xiao heard Hu Qianqiu say this, and suddenly became confident, "Go, go, who's afraid, I'm not afraid that you will be in danger, go and come back quickly." ”

Hu Qianqiu sneered, turned his head and ran straight up.

Hu Qianqiu ran faster and faster, but he still didn't reach the second floor, and finally Hu Qianqiu ran almost exhausted, his hands were propped on his knees, and he bent over to rest panting.

At this moment, Hu Qianqiu suddenly noticed that there was a standing figure on the stairs above him, and suddenly raised his head to see that it was Song Xiao who was arranged by him to stay in place.

At this time, Song Xiao also happened to notice the movement behind him, and turned around to see Hu Qianqiu looking up, as soon as the two made eye contact, they were shocked in their hearts, and they both showed incredible expressions, especially when Song Xiao was like seeing a ghost.

"It's a weird thing."

Hu Qianqiu adjusted his breathing, slowly walked to Song Xiao's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said helplessly, "We have been tricked." ”

Song Xiao looked at Hu Qianqiu and asked hopefully, "Then what now?" ”

"I don't know, there are no windows on the walls, otherwise we would have jumped out of the windows and escaped."

"Your sister, I've been miserable by you."

Although he was in deep adversity, Hu Qianqiu was not so flustered, he looked at the stairs behind him, and said: "Now I don't have much physical strength, you go down from here to see, although walking from the top will eventually reach the bottom, but the situation from the bottom may not be exactly the same." ”

Hu Qianqiu said this, looked at his mobile phone, I don't know why, the mobile phone has no signal at this time, "If you haven't come back after half an hour, I'll go down from here to find you."

Song Xiao sighed, "I'm also afraid of you." With that, he turned and walked down.

After Song Xiao left, Hu Qianqiu stared at the stairs above while recovering his strength, if the stairs at this time were connected up and down in a ring, then Song Xiao would appear from the stairs above, but Hu Qianqiu waited for more than twenty minutes, but still did not see Song Xiao.

Just as Hu Qianqiu was about to turn around and go down the stairs to find Song Xiao, he suddenly felt someone pat him on the back.
