"My mother has been here!" Jasmine said with a terrified expression, her natural spirit reacting to the indoor environment and involuntarily walking forward.

Yuna noticed Jasmine's intact hands, goosebumps in her heart, and she turned to look back at the empty road.

Who could be the "person" who left such a real touch on her right shoulder?

It wasn't until Jasmine's call brought her back to her senses that she looked away from her hand and came to the elevator door sealed by wooden boards, and held hands with Jasmine, and a black and white memory surfaced in the minds of the two.

An unkempt man pushed back the curtain and headed deeper into the hallway, his flashlight shining on the door of Room 302 and muttering to himself.

Ah Xiang ...... I've been looking for you...... Where did it go?

Halfway through the door, liquid-like tentacles flowed down the side of the axle, wrapping around the man's legs and dragging him inside.

Why kill...... I don't want to get my hands dirty......

The man's screams gradually came to life, and Jasmine immediately blocked her ears, and her face became even paler.

"That was ...... just now"

"I don't know...... I don't want to know. ”

"Shall we go up and have a look?" Seeing that Jasmine was not in a good state, Yuna quickly raised her axe and split the wooden planks on the elevator.

Jasmine nodded, flicked the elevator button, and after the roar of noisy machines, the elevator doors actually opened.

"We were lucky that the elevator still works. Yuna's smile was much lighter.

"Are you sure my dad is being locked up on this floor by the Celestial Omen Cultists?" Jasmine felt that the indicator button on the third floor was very eye-catching.

"Of course, I saw it too. ”

"But I don't want that to be true......" Jasmine lowered her head as the elevator closed.

As the elevator slowly rose, there was the sound of sharp knives rubbing against iron sheets, Yuna was a little stunned, and couldn't help but look at Jasmine's eyes, the eyes that were covered by bangs were dim, but they didn't lose their luster, just a little bit not like the agility that a living person should have, staring at the crack of the elevator door.

Even if Yuna was calm, she vaguely felt that something was wrong now, but she was in an enclosed space, and she couldn't spread it, so she could only pray that the two of them could reach the third floor safely. But the elevator was still stuck in the middle of the two floors due to a malfunction, and no matter how much she tried to pick the door, there was no response.

Under the flickering light, the impact sound got closer and closer, and a blade-like tentacle suddenly cut into the elevator, but fortunately, Jasmine had sensed it, and suddenly pushed Yuna to the right, thrillingly avoiding the blow.

In return, Yuna picked up the axe and slashed at the tentacle, and after the violent metal clash, the blade of the axe failed to hurt it in the slightest, but the handle of the axe broke, and the flesh and blood were as hard as steel and iron bones.

Jasmine, who was startled, climbed to the edge of the elevator and pressed the door close button, trying to clip off the tentacles, but the elevator had already stopped running, which could only interfere with the tentacles, so that it could not cut Yuna, and because the elevator was too narrow, it could not cut Jasmine at close range.

Yuna took the opportunity to summon Tenkasa and fired several shots at the tentacle, forcing it to retract. The elevator doors then close again and descend to the second floor.

"It's the first time I've seen such a powerful man!" Yuna cleared her throat, "Looks like we'll have to start exploring the second floor first." ”

"That thing doesn't have to be a man. Jasmine stepped out of the elevator and walked around the corner of the floor.

Next to the elevator entrance hangs a safety evacuation diagram, which shows that there are ten rooms (201-210) on this floor, fire boxes are set up every 100 meters, fire hydrants are installed on the wall at the end of the corridor, and the safety exit signs above the corridor still flicker faintly.

The reason why the fire-fighting equipment in the Haoding Hotel is so complete may be related to the fire in the Haotai Apartment, all the equipment is designed to prevent fires, although Jasmine has strengthened security measures in the past few years when she is the mayor of the town, but the hidden realm is not under her control, and the Tianzhao cultists in the Borderlands are just learning from them.

But one of them was different from the others, the keyhole on the door was printed with an inverted triangle pattern, and there was a large hole in the door, and as far as the eye could see, it was pitch black, and it was only recognizable by the number of the adjacent room that it was room 202.

Even the emerald seven-hole bamboo flute couldn't open this room, which was really puzzling to Youna, could it be that the Tianzhao Sect mark here was fake?

Just as she pondered what else to do, a woman's whispering lullaby sounded in the room.

"Who are you, why are you still in this cursed inn?" shouted Yuna as she leaned closer to the entrance of the cave.

"I don't remember, it's not the time. The woman said in a low melody voice, "My memories with my former beloved are sealed in something, and I won't leave until I find them, can you help me?"

Sensing that Yuna would nod in agreement, the woman gave a hint: "The warm sun dances on Serbino Beach, the sea of Suhua flowers is filled with the fragrance of jasmine, and the wind rustles through the Cangyuan forest...... Three small photos of that good time. ”

Although the woman did not specify where she was hiding, she should be able to find it quickly if she searched room by room, so Yuna asked Jasmine to stand guard in front of the door, and she went to room 210, which was closest to the stairwell.

Before opening the door, Yuna glanced back at Jasmine, and when the woman's singing stopped, she walked into the room.

It's an ordinary single room with only three pieces of old furniture: a queen-size bed, a wardrobe and a vintage table clock, and nothing unusual except for the bathroom.

However, her instincts told her that there must be a secret hidden in the old-fashioned grandfather clock, first of all, the minute hand was in the wrong place, the hour hand pointed to four o'clock, but the minute hand was stuck at ten o'clock, and secondly, the pendulum had long since been broken, a folded letter was locked in a glass case, and finally it was obvious what she needed to do.

When she adjusted the minute hand to twelve, the glass door was popped open by a gear, and she was able to remove the brown letter.

Dr. Ivor

Saying "thank you" to you is not enough to express my joy.

My condition continues to deteriorate, but the greatest comfort you give me is that I can walk again, these legs make me no longer attached to my gentle husband and lovely daughter, thank you for giving me the courage to face it calmly.

Yixiang

The signature at the end is obviously the sender, Dr. Molon's wife, Jasmine's mother.

Yuna had planned to pass the letter to Jasmine, but as soon as she crossed the threshold with her front foot, Jasmine was gone.

She was so anxious that she stomped her feet, thinking to herself why Jasmine didn't want to stay in front of room 202, so she had to leave her alone to act alone, fortunately, Jasmine had a spiritual guide to defend herself, and she didn't have to worry too much.

Room 209 is also of the exact same layout, with a letter pressed on the futon.

Dr. Molong

I'm leaving...... I'm about to turn into a wandering soul in the hidden realm, don't come to me...... I don't want you to be like me.

I remember that you said that you would take me back to your alma mater in the future, you broke your promise, I don't blame you, after all, I also deceived you, the two of us are even, but our love is not fair, you, as the only light in my short life, give me a warm world, but I can't repay it, I can only say goodbye to you.

Please don't blame me, and don't forget the amazing scenery we enjoyed on our honeymoon.

Yixiang

After reading the letter, Yuna went to room 208, but the door could not be opened, so she had to enter the next room, and she found the first photo in the washbasin of room 207 - the sunset on the beach. When she returned the same way, she accidentally found a crack in the wall that was hidden by the clock, and after pushing the clock open, she slipped sideways through the crack in the wall and entered the next room.

Room 208 was unexpectedly messy: a wooden table sat beneath a completely collapsed ceiling, shards of concrete were piled up in the corners, a broken table clock and a broken bed with only an iron frame were buried deep under the rubble, and even the wardrobe had been changed in color by the dust that had accumulated over time.

Hop on the wooden table and climb up the edge of the sink, and you'll be able to go upstairs to room 308. As she expected, there was a second photo in the closet - a sea of flowers on a high mountain.

In room 308, where the door cannot be opened, there are also two wall cracks connecting rooms 307 and 306, only the door of room 306 can be opened, but it does not mean that she can investigate the other rooms on the third floor after she goes out, this section of the corridor has been sealed with steel and wooden planks, and only a terrifying-looking strange figure can be seen through the gap between the rubble.

With his waist as his back, his feet as his hands, and his head as his hips, his whole torso perpendicular to the ground, he crawled like a caterpillar with the help of two arms, making a piercing sound of wheels as he walked, and when the two tentacles on his head to listen for movement turned, a breeze blew from nowhere, and the half-hidden door was closed.

Fortunately, Yuna covered her mouth in time, so that she did not break her voice due to fright, and the surrounding cover covered her figure, and before the bearded man noticed the clues, it heard the sound, stopped in front of the rubble and wailed for a few seconds, and after seeing that nothing was wrong, it turned and walked to room 302.

It was only when the bearded figure grew away that Yuna dared to lean out from hiding, gasping for breath so that she could quickly regain her composure.

If you guessed correctly, it was this mustache that attacked them in the elevator, and Yuna knew that it was difficult to deal with when she saw its appearance, and it was better to be careful when she encountered it again.

At this point, the only way left is room 305 on the opposite side, which is almost as tattered as room 208, and you can reach room 205 by jumping from the edge of the subsidence, and then enter room 203 through two wall cracks in the same way. Finally, she found a third photo in her bed - a forest in the glow of the night.

She shone her flashlight on the three photographs and was surprised to see the shadow of a wheelchair at the bottom of each landscape.

Why do photographers only photograph landscapes and not people?

After thinking about it carefully, after Yuna handed the photo to the strange woman, she recalled a fragment of an ancient memory, her headache became more and more intense, and her eyelids continued to sink.

The scene before she fainted was incredible: Jasmine reappeared, but she behaved abnormally, walking like a marionette, gurgling out of her mouth, approaching a swarm of blue fireflies flying near the stairwell.

Yuna struggled to call Jasmine's name, but unfortunately the other party was so enchanted that she couldn't hear it at all.

"Thank you!" a strange laugh erupted from room 202, followed by a black liquid spilling out of the self-opening door and gradually spreading throughout the hallway.
