"Whew...... The time was just right, but my car was gone, and I could only take a taxi to the hotel at night, but the protagonist in the movie also took a taxi. ”

Robert drove Zhang Chen back to the office and drove away, while Zhang Chen got out of the car and watched the sunset wandering on the mountain, and the time on the watch was just right 5:55, and the next scene in the movie needed to be carried out.

"Whew...... I escaped. What was the feeling at the moment of death? Could it be that at that time, the prison sentenced me to death, so they dragged me to another world? That's not right...... It's not quite a place yet, but it's a bit like that. Zhang Chen recalled the mysterious cave full of clear water that he entered at every critical moment in his consciousness.

"Let's leave this alone, after all in all, after so long of information gathering, I have a total of two useful pieces of information in my hands now. The first is Mr. Kuhlman's information, which may involve the essence of the entire Dolphin Hotel. The second is what Daislin called the question about the picture at the head of the bed in room 1408. ”

"I remember the main character's bedside painting in the movie was a very dull and boring painting about 'royal hunting'. However, in room 1408, where Daisling and her lover are located, at the head of the bed, two couples arguing at the dinner table. Maybe there is a mystery in this painting, after all, the main character never moves the painting from beginning to end in the movie. ”

Zhang Chen saw that the time was about the same, picked up the telephone in the office and called the hotel's service number, and booked the room 1408 in advance

However, at Stan Psychiatric Hospital, five teams of 68 armed police officers had arrived. The medical staff and patients in the main building were temporarily evacuated, and after the team surrounded the intensive care building, two groups of personnel searched inside, but no survivors were found, and no white-haired monster mentioned by Robert was found.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" The standard male waiter's voice came from the other end of the line.

“yeah。 I would like to book room 1408. Zhang Chen said according to the lines in the movie.

"That room is not open to the public, sir."

"I didn't tell you, which one should I stay? How about Saturday? ”

"Can't stay in."

"What about next Tuesday?"

"Can't stay in."

"Next month?"

"Can't stay in."

"Next summer?"

"Doot toot!" The other party hung up the phone. I just think Zhang Chen is a harasser.

Zhang Chen learned the plot of the movie and began to contact his good friend Sam, and wanted to move into room 1408 by legal means. Because the law stipulates that as long as the hotel has this room, it cannot refuse the guest's request to stay.

Because of the meeting with Sam in advance, the conversation on the phone was much shorter. It was only at the end that Sam added, "Be careful." ”

As the night wore on, take a taxi to the front door of the towering Dolphin Hotel.

Judging by the way the guests come and go in the hotel, how they dress, how they talk and behave. At least the families who can live here are from the middle class and above. Zhang Chen is extremely simple, and even looks a little sloppy as a writer, and it seems a little out of place to be here.

"Welcome to the Dolphin Hotel, sir, are you going to check in?" The customer service lady at the front desk was smiling.

"Mike. Ainslin, stay one night. ”

Immediately after that, the customer service sister began to look up the name of the protagonist on the computer, and at the bottom of the screen, it displayed 'Notify the manager before the guest checks in.'

Then the sister asked Zhang Chen to wait for a while and start contacting the person in charge of the hall, and then the person in charge glanced at Zhang Chen with strange eyes, and then went backstage to contact the crucial character in the movie, the black manager.

Zhang Chen looked around the hall according to the protagonist's movements at this time, and saw a lady in white pushing a high-end stroller with the sound of a baby, and this lady will also live next door to Zhang Chen in the movie. That is, a guest in room 1410. Zhang Chen secretly wrote it down in his heart, because he was also a key person.

"Good evening sir, shall I help you with your luggage?"

A smiling waiter inadvertently appeared in front of Zhang Chen. Also one of the important figures. In the film, the protagonist is in a later fantasy, and this waiter is a turning point.

"Where did this man come from?" Although his body has returned to ordinary people, Zhang Chen thinks that his perception ability is not coarse, at least he is very vigilant, and basically there will be no situation where everyone comes to his side but is not noticed by himself.

"No thanks." In order to avoid changing the plot, Zhang Chen did not change the plot on this person on his own initiative.

As the man left, the black manager walked out of the hall.

"Mr. Ainslin, I'm Gared. The manager of the Olin Dolphin Hotel has any request you have during your stay at the hotel. Whether it's dinner reservations or show tickets, we're here to answer any request. ”

"Just give me the key to 1408. I won't give you any more trouble. ”

The black man tried to prevent Zhang Chen from moving in, but after trying to persuade him to no avail, he invited Zhang Chen to his office. First, he bribed with wine, and in desperation, he came up with fifty-six deaths in room 1408 since the construction of the Dolphin Hotel.

Regardless of whether he uses a soft attack or a hard attack, the protagonist still insists and cheekily wants to stay in room 1408, because in his opinion, there are no such anomalies in this world.

Zhang Chen followed the protagonist's movements and stretched his head forward, "Do you know why I dare to live in your haunted room?" Because I know ghosts, ghosts, these things don't exist at all. ”

The two had nothing to talk about, and the black manager took out a key that had been placed very deep in the cabinet.

"Because none of the electronic devices in 1408 are working properly, the door has not been replaced with a magnetic card, but it still retains this ancient key." Black Manager.

Zhang Chen's conversation with the other party, he always held a recorder in his hand, "The general manager advertises that there is a ghost interference in the room......"

"I never mentioned the word 'ghost.'" The black manager interrupted Mr. Zhang.

"I'm sorry, but what about 'souls' or 'youkai'?"

"You're misunderstood, there's no such thing in room 1408." The black man smiled, then moved his head closer to Zhang Chen and lowered his voice. "it' is an evil room for his mother, and the Chinese translation has no context and is not appropriate."

Zhang Chen then walked up the elevator with the black manager and talked about an issue that Zhang Chen thought was a bit crucial.

"Why didn't the hotel owner just close that room?"

"The leadership prefers to pretend that nothing happened. It's like pretending that there is no 13th floor (the number 13 is extremely superstitious, and basically all hotels or floors skip the number 13.) ）”

But this answer seemed very far-fetched to Zhang Chen. Fifty-six people died in a room, but it didn't make sense to know that there would be a person like the protagonist who came in through the void and still didn't close it.

"The room must be very dirty, haven't you changed the bedside and cleaned it in years?"

"Our hotel is professional, every month we will arrange two cleaning ladies to do a simple cleaning of 1408, supervised by me, the cleaning time will not exceed 10 minutes, and I will always keep the door open."

"But there are surprises in everything. A few years ago, a young female worker from El Salvador was locked in the bathroom of 1408, although it was not for long, but when we rescued her. ”

"Dead?" Zhang Chen asked according to the lines.

"No, she's blind. She gouged out her eyeballs with the scissors in her toolbox and laughed hysterically. ”

"Ding Dong!" The elevator reaches the fourteenth floor.

"I can only accompany you here, unless I clean it every month, I don't want to get close to 1408 half a step."

"Mr. Anslin, please think again!" The tone of the black manager is very low, and the protagonist of the movie is also a little bluffed here, but the result is inevitable.

The black manager went down in an elevator. And Zhang Chen stood alone on the quiet fourteenth floor walkway.

"Three suspicious people, the black manager, the waitress in the hall. and the woman pushing the crib. Count the front desk clerk who has spoken to the main character, and it's likely that one of the four people is the former Mr. Kuhlman. ”

Zhang Chen then looked back and forth in the corridor.

"If I remember correctly, the protagonist here is stuck in a strange faint cycle because he is immersed in fifty-six death cases."

In the manner of the protagonist in the movie, Zhang Chen began to examine his hands very seriously, which was the original fifty-six cases of the dead that the black manager had given him, which was actually a little more concise than the text brought by Robert from the police station.

Zhang Chen walked forward slowly, his eyes fixed on Wen Jiàn in his hand.

However, he obviously walked in the direction of room 1408, but after walking for a while, there was a 'ding dong'. The elevator door on the side opened, and he walked back to where he started.

"Space is a problem? From this point alone. It's probably not just room 1408 that's in question. ”

When Zhang Chen put away the text and walked towards room 1408, he met the third key person. It's the sister in white I saw in the hall, and the stroller with the sound of a crying baby.

"Baby, we're home, let's go inside."

Theoretically, this lady should have taken another elevator to the fourteenth floor, and it should not be much different from the time Zhang Chen arrived. The entire corridor on the fourteenth floor was empty, and it was strange why such a loud baby cry had not been heard until now.

If there is no restriction of zài changing the plot, Zhang Chen will immediately walk in front of room 1410 and have a conversation with the lady inside, but because of Lian Yuxin's warning, he can only follow the original plot in a proper manner.

The red carpet, the ebony wooden door, and the four bronze numeral plates of '1408' are printed on the door.

As Zhang Chen inserted the quaint iron key in his hand into the lock.

'Click'

The door to 1408 was slowly opened...... To be continued
