Chapter 108: Theft
When I opened the door, I was surprised to find that there was no figure outside the door, and the long corridor was empty in front of me, and the bright red carpet was particularly dazzling under the dim light.
"Am I dreaming nonsense?" I scratched my head and was about to go back to bed for another good sleep, but the moment I turned around, I froze.
The hollow knock sounded again, and a cold feeling suddenly filled the whole body.
"Bang Bang ......"
The knock on the door kept ringing, with a dull and frightening rhythm.
I bit it and pulled the door open.
Outside the door, there was still nothing.
What the hell is going on? Could someone be playing a prank?
No way, who would be so boring? What's more, even if he wants to play a prank, that kid is running a little too fast!
From the front of my room to the corner where I could hide, it was about thirty meters, and it was only three seconds between the last knock and the quick opening of the door.
In this way, the guy can run under 10 seconds in 100 meters, which is almost close to the world record, not to mention that I didn't hear any noise at all, let alone the noise made when he was running at a high speed.
Could it be that this time I was also in a daze, mixing dreams and reality?
Forget it, tomorrow when I go to the surveillance room of the hotel, it will be clear to call up the video of this period.
I closed the door and walked over to the bed, suddenly feeling a cool breeze on my face.
When did the windows open?
The soft breeze constantly blows the half-open curtains, bringing a strange smell.
What the hell happened tonight?
I remember that the window was closed before I went to bed, and it was deadlocked, why is it ajar now? My memory is definitely not confused, even if I remember wrong, I will not be stupid to turn on the air conditioner and leave the window open!
I suddenly remembered the situation when I first arrived in Nara, and that night was as strange as today. Isn't it true that the fox thinks it's cool to marry her daughter in front of me, and follows me to Gifu, and marries again by the way, right?
I subconsciously stuck my head out to look at the sky, the air was dry, fine, and it wasn't raining. Suddenly I felt something, I immediately turned on the light and looked over to the bed.
Fortunately, the backpack was still lying quietly next to the pillow.
I walked over and lifted my backpack, and at that moment, my whole body stiffened, and then, like crazy, I collapsed everything in my bag onto the bed.
No! Sure enough, there was none!
Sure for the umpteenth time, I finally slumped to the floor.
The two black boxes in the bag are missing.
Who stole them and when? I sorted out my messy thoughts and smacked my head. Damn, I was stupid enough to fall for that idiot-level trick.
I'm afraid some people have been eyeing me for a long time, but I was too stupid to notice that the group of people first knocked on the door to attract my attention, and while I was standing in front of the door in a daze, they quietly crawled in through the window and took the black box from my backpack.
If my guess is correct, then who are they?
This is the fifteenth floor, and trying to climb through the window into the guest room is almost like a fatality, why would they spend so much energy stealing those two black boxes? And what is their purpose?
I slammed my fist on the floor in annoyance, and then I cried out loudly while holding my aching hand, and with almost confused eyes, I suddenly caught a glimpse of something falling under the windowsill, and I held it up in pain.
It was an oval-shaped piece of rune paper with strange animal motifs and some strange writing on it.
I narrowed my eyes, and my expression suddenly became solemn, this kind of rune paper was no stranger to me, and there was the same one in the place where I found the second black box, which was the sign of the imperial envoy.
The so-called Imperial Envoy is a kind of human who can borrow the power of the fox.
Speaking of the history before the imperial envoy, there are probably two folk theories, one theory is that they are the descendants left by the fox demon Yuzao, and they can borrow the power of the demon fox.
The second theory says that they were shrine maidens who worshipped Inari, also known as Izuna envoys or fox keepers, who could keep monsters the size of rats in a small tube and drive them to do anything.
I didn't care which statement was right, I just wanted to get back the stolen black box, and anyway, I didn't feel sleepy at all, so I broke into the surveillance room of the hotel and asked the guards to call up the video to show me.
Of course, the sixty-year-old Ou Jisan refused, and said impatiently that it was not in accordance with the rules.
I was furious and shouted, "My things were stolen in the guest room, how should this account be calculated?" ”
The guard said confidently: "We have reminded passengers to leave their valuables in the storage area. ”
I snorted coldly and waved my hand at him: "I'm too lazy to tell you, tell your manager to come over immediately." ”
"Sir, you're just making a fuss!" Then Ojisan was a little angry, too.
I picked up the phone, looked him in the eye, and said, "Do you want me to call for you?" ”
The guard gave me a hard look, then took the phone and shouted a few words inside. After a while, the manager panted and pushed the door open and walked in.
"Sir, what are you dissatisfied with our service?" He also asked with impatience on his face, formulaically.
"This hotel belongs to the Takahashi family, right?" I asked slowly.
"That's right." The manager nodded.
I smiled and took a card out of my pocket and handed it to him.
I gave me that card when I was leaving, and said that if I was short of money, I would go to a subsidiary of the Takahashi Group, and they would immediately agree to any of my needs.
Sure enough, the manager, who was still arrogant just now, immediately became sweaty, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the cold sweat constantly, looked at the card again and again, and finally bowed deeply to me, and shouted: "I don't know if the CEO is here to inspect, please bear with me!" ”
The guard, who was standing on the side, thought he could see a good show, was immediately dumbfounded.
I deliberately pointed at him and said, "This guard's attitude seems to be very bad, how do you treat customers?" ”
The manager was furious and shouted at the guards, "Kito Ichiro, you won't use it from tomorrow." You're fired! ”
The Ogisan almost burst into tears.
I watched this play with great interest, and I felt that my anger was almost out, and I took a deep breath and said calmly: "Forget it, I won't care about it this time." You're Kito Ichiro, right, now you can bring up the surveillance footage just now, I live in room 17 on the fifteenth floor. ”
After watching the video, I was greeted by the hotel manager and returned to my room, lay down on the bed, and I began to slowly reminisce again.
