"The shopkeeper?"

Qin Tian was stunned when he heard the old man's voice in the room.

How did he reappear? disappeared for a while before, and there was no movement at all, but suddenly appeared in front of Qin Tian, saying that the middle-aged man who appeared before was a thief? Qin Tian was a little overwhelmed.

"You're the shopkeeper who brought me to my room?" Qin Tian didn't dare to open the door.

"yes, you've forgotten my voice in just a few hours?"

Qin Tian was even more embarrassed, he didn't dare to open the door easily, because he had learned from the past, and he was worried that someone would also disguise himself as the shopkeeper this time.

After 12 o'clock, Qin Tian had already opened the door and went out, and anything could happen to him.

So Qin Tian asked him how to prove that he was the shopkeeper.

"If you don't believe me, don't open the door, you won't be able to open the door after 12 o'clock anyway."

The shopkeeper didn't say much, and stood outside the door and asked Qin Tian to check his belongings.

Qin Tian was a little relieved, and didn't really check his things, because he only had a mobile phone with him, and nothing else.

While Qin Tian was inspecting things, the shopkeeper was still talking outside the door.

"I took a nap, and a thief broke in, he was about thirty or forty years old, a man, he looked quite normal, I didn't expect it to be a thief."

"He's a habitual offender, he always comes to me to steal customers' things, and often pretends to be the owner to gain the trust of customers, and then takes the opportunity to steal things, which is very bad. I was scolded away just now, hmph, it's polite to him if you don't call the police. ”

The old man's tone was angry when he spoke.

Qin Tian was silent for a moment before he spoke: "I did see him, but he didn't steal anything from me. ”

When the old man said this, Qin Tian couldn't figure it out.

However, if you reasoned according to what he said, almost everything made sense, and the only thing that couldn't be explained was the two rooms next to Qin Tian.

"Did any of the other guests lose anything?" Qin Tian asked.

"No, because it's late, no one else is out of the room, just outside the room."

"How do you know I'm out of the room?"

"When I caught the thief, I asked him, and he told me, and he said that he only met you, and that you were careful not to be stolen, and that I found it in time, otherwise that guy would have been going to harm the other residents."

When Qin Tian was talking to the shopkeeper, he carefully recognized his voice, and he didn't hear the "zizi" sound of the radio waves, so he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Tian still opened the door and saw that the shopkeeper was standing outside the door, it was a real person, not a disguise, and there was nothing unusual, it was normal.

"It's good that you haven't lost anything, it's not too early, so let's rest."

The shopkeeper didn't say much to Qin Tian, and wanted to leave after a few casual words.

Qin Tian walked out and grabbed him and pointed to the next room: "Uncle, I want to ask you, is there anyone living in this room?" ”

"Yes," the old man insisted, "what's the matter?" Are you at odds? ”

"Not really."

"Then why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Qin Tian shook his head and said that it was nothing, and at the same time, the thoughts in his heart were fluttering rapidly, he just wanted to confirm whether there was anyone in this room.

The mystery had to be solved little by little, at least to find a clue, and Qin Tian was now flying around like a headless fly, without any substantial progress.

So if he wants to start in the next room, he must first get some clues.

So Qin Tian said to the shopkeeper: "I seem to have heard the sound of going out in the next room before, and there is still a lot of movement coming out of the room, I am worried that something will happen to them, so you open the door and ask." ”

"You said it earlier, I'll open the door to see how it goes."

The shopkeeper was anxious, saying that if something happened to the guest here, he would be responsible, and he would be unlucky at that time.

As he spoke, he quickly opened the door to the next room.

As soon as the door opened, a strong fishy smell suddenly wafted out, and there was a pungent smell of blood in the stench, like the smell of raw meat just being slaughtered.

"Gross."

The old man bent over the door frame and kept retching, and it took a while to calm down.

Qin Tian was no better, and his stomach kept pantothenic acid.

"What are you doing in there, it stinks." The old man frowned and exclaimed.

He wanted to turn on the light in the room, but after fumbling with the switch, it couldn't be turned on, probably because the light was broken.

After the shopkeeper spoke, no one responded for a long time, only silence remained in the darkness, and the light in the corridor was not very bright, and the light could only shine into the room slightly, and nothing could be seen clearly.

"Sure enough, no one, it seems that I am thinking too much? Maybe the owner made a mistake when he registered. ”

Qin Tian said secretly in his heart.

After all, this old man is old, and it's normal to be forgetful or something.

He was about to ask the shopkeeper to close the door, when a voice suddenly came from the room: "If you have something, just say it, get out of the way, and it will be cleaned when you check out." ”

"Anyone?"

Hearing this voice, Qin Tian's heart tightened.

"Don't be angry, let's enjoy it slowly, such a delicious thing, eat it with a good mood."

Another woman's voice floated out of the room.

"Close the door." A cold man's voice echoed in the darkness.

The shopkeeper didn't dare to speak, he closed the door tremblingly, and his hands were shaking with anger: "It's too unqualified, too unconscionable, I was worried that they opened the door to ask, but they talked to me in this tone." ”

Qin Tian hurriedly comforted him and told him not to be like that couple.

"You too, you shouldn't be overflowing with compassion, they deserve to be captured." The old man shouted angrily.

"Captured? Captured by whom? Qin Tian heard something from the shopkeeper's words.

"Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing, you can rest quickly, I'm tired too, go to bed."

The old man behaved a little unnaturally, and after a few casual words, he went downstairs to rest.

Looking at the old man's back gradually moving away, Qin Tian's eyes were deep and thoughtful: "He must have something to hide from me, and he doesn't want me to know." ”

After the old man went downstairs, Qin Tian also returned to the room.

The old man was in too much of a hurry, otherwise Qin Tian would have asked him to open the room where the girl committed suicide.

Sitting on the stool, Qin Tian stared at the screen of his mobile phone and found that the text on the document had temporarily stopped being generated, and a series of symbols indicating that they were to be continued appeared on the screen.

"Is the plot about me over for now?" Qin Tian breathed a sigh of relief, and finally could take a little rest.

It doesn't look like anything else will happen next.

And when the ellipsis to be continued appeared, the barrage on the screen shook wildly: "Dead street author, are you still lazy at this time?" It was originally a short horror story. I just wrote a little bit and rested. ”

"Yes, if you're so lazy, don't engage in any gimmicks of text live broadcast, it's boring, I'm looking at it, but you're impotent."

。。。

The comments scrolling on the screen were all scolding Qin Tian.

"Ugh."

Qin Tian flipped through the comments and shook his head helplessly.

This kind of thing is really not something he can control, and he doesn't want the plot to stop, the key is that this is his task, the task plot is automatically generated, and Qin Tian is not qualified to use his identity as a writer to continue writing.

All he could do was write a sentence or two once in a while and change some of the details.

During the short break, Qin Tian wanted to send a message to Yan Chuang to ask him about the situation, but the mobile phone showed that there was no signal, not only did he not have the Internet, but he couldn't even make a phone call.

"It's strange, there was a signal just now, why is there no signal all of a sudden?"

Qin Tian exited the WeChat interface and returned to the writing interface of the horror story collection, the barrage on the screen was still moving rapidly, and the readers who watched the live text broadcast were greeting Qin Tian's family with all kinds of cursed words.

"It's weird, there is no signal on the phone, why is there still a signal on the writing page? Can you connect to the outside world? ”

Qin Tian was very surprised, this didn't make sense!

He stood up, walked to the window and held his phone out, but there was still no signal.

Just as he was puzzled, a "knock" sound suddenly sounded outside the room.

It's not a knock on the door, it's not footsteps, it's more like the sound of a ball rolling on the ground.

"Who? Who is it this time? Qin Tian frowned and walked behind the door, putting his ear to the door and listening carefully.

The sound of "thump" was getting closer.

Unlike the previous footsteps and knocks, this time the "knock" sound was intermittent, sometimes non-stopping, and then several minutes before it resounded.
