Qin Tian heard it more clearly in the room, the knocking sound came from the entrance of the building, the sound was relatively small at first, and the louder it became the more it went to the back.

There was a pause in the knocking on the door, and then Qin Tian heard a "squeak", as if it was the sound of the door being opened.

Immediately after that, he listened intently but heard no other sounds, and the situation was very strange.

There was silence for about half a minute, and then the door slammed shut.

Immediately after, footsteps rang out again, and the mysterious man knocked on the second door, but this time it didn't open.

The knock on the door echoed in the dead night, replaying over and over again in the empty hallway.

The knocking continued for several minutes, and before he could open the door, the man went to the next room and knocked again.

"Who's playing a prank?"

Qin Tian frowned and looked at the screen of his mobile phone, the text in the document was constantly being generated, but the content mentioned in the text was something that Qin Tian could see and hear, and there was no way to bring more information to Qin Tian.

Next, the person in the hallway continued to walk deeper, getting closer and closer to the room where Qin Tian was staying.

Strangely, there were still faint sounds coming from the various rooms in the corridor, but now there was silence as if time had stopped.

The invisible pressure hit like a tide, surrounding Qin Tian, so that he didn't dare to gasp for breath.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer, and soon they were outside the room next to Qin Tian, and there was a knock on the door.

Less than 5 seconds later, the door creaked open, but no one spoke, and there was silence outside.

After a while, the door closed, and then the footsteps came outside Qin Tian's room, and then the footsteps disappeared, and the man stopped outside Qin Tian's door.

"I'm going to knock on the door, am I going to open it or not?" Qin Tian frowned, swallowing his saliva, very apprehensive in his heart.

This silent sense of oppression is the most terrifying and infiltrating.

Holding his breath, he waited behind the door with his phone in his hand.

However, the people outside the door did not knock for a long time, and just stood outside the door without saying a word, without making any sound.

"What's going on?" Qin Tian frowned, and his face was extremely solemn.

In the deathly silence, time passed minute by minute.

One minute, two minutes, five minutes, ten minutes.

In this torment, 15 minutes passed, but there was still no movement outside the door, as if the person did not exist.

But Qin Tian knew that the other party was standing outside the door, and the footsteps stopped outside the door and did not sound again.

Even if you leave, there will be footsteps.

Unconsciously, Qin Tian was already covered in sweat.

"Whew."

Qin Tian exhaled lightly and put his hand on the doorknob, wanting to open a crack in the door to see the situation outside.

But he inadvertently saw the time on his phone, and immediately hesitated, it was now 12:20 in the middle of the night, and it was already past midnight.

Both the shopkeeper and Pan An reminded Qin Tian not to go out after 12 o'clock, and not to open the door.

"This door doesn't have a cat's eye, otherwise you can still look out from the cat's eye, alas, it's hard to do."

Qin Tian shook his head helplessly, and finally gave up the idea of opening the door, it was too risky.

After a moment's hesitation, he knocked on the door: "Who's outside?" ”

But there was no answer outside the door, and there was still silence, and I didn't know what was going on outside the door.

"Is it the owner? Or Pan Ge? Qin Tian was nervous in his heart and continued to call out.

But there was still no response, and the scene was deadly silent.

The silence in the darkness hit Qin Tian like waves, like a giant hammer smashing into his chest, leaving him speechless for a while.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Just when Qin Tian was nervous in his heart, an old man's voice suddenly came from the staircase.

"Don't go, who are you and why are you squatting in the aisle? You're not a resident here, I haven't seen you. ”

This was the voice of the old man of the shopkeeper, Qin Tian heard it at once, and couldn't help frowning.

"Don't run, don't you want to run."

The shopkeeper shouted excitedly, and hurriedly ran into the depths of the aisle, until he ran outside the door of Qin Tianfang.

"Hey, why are you opening the window? Don't jump, you'll get hurt if you jump off the second floor. ”

The old man cried out anxiously.

Immediately afterwards, there was silence outside for a few seconds, and Qin Tian heard the old man's voice again: "It's strange, jumping from the window on the second floor actually disappeared immediately, could it be that I was dazzled?" ”

The old man walked to Qin Tianmen and knocked on the door.

"Who?" Qin Tian asked vigilantly.

"It's me, owner."

"What's going on out there?"

"I don't know, I came up when I was resting at the front desk on the first floor when I heard a knock on the door from the second floor, and I saw a person squatting at your door and didn't know what he was doing, but I didn't see the person's face clearly, but I didn't have an impression of him, not a resident here."

When the old man spoke, Qin Tian suddenly thought of Pan An's reminder before, saying that the entire hotel was a ghost, but Qin Tian and the shopkeeper were not ghosts.

In this way, the owner can be trusted.

"You remember my words, don't open the door after 12 o'clock." The shopkeeper told Qin Tian again.

"Well, I remember."

"Fortunately, you didn't open the door just now, otherwise something would have happened, the doors of the residents of two rooms were open, but people didn't know where to go, it is estimated that the two rooms opened in the middle of the night and walked out."

The old man's voice was very anxious.

"What then? Call the police. Qin Tian was also anxious.

"No, I'll go find them right away, but you have to be careful, don't open the door no matter who knocks, and be sure to ask for your identity."

After saying this, his tone paused, and then he said, "I have something for you, and you can take it with you to defend yourself." ”

Qin Tian didn't think much about it, and when he opened the door, he was about to take something from the shopkeeper.

Whether it was what Pan An said to him or the performance of the shopkeeper, Qin Tian was very relieved.

But after the door opened, Qin Tian was a little stunned, because the shopkeeper was facing his door, and the shopkeeper was standing under the light bulb in the corridor, his shadow was very long, and he stood straight with his back to the door.

Qin Tian was a little surprised to see that the shopkeeper was still bent over his waist, but now he was able to stand straight.

"Huh?" Qin Tian also noticed that the shopkeeper had changed his clothes.

The old white and yellowed shirt he was still wearing when he took him upstairs before, why did he change his black cloth clothes in a blink of an eye? And the cloth was very dirty, and it also emitted a musty smell, as if it had been pressed in the box for a long time.

"The shopkeeper." Qin Tian saw that the other party did not react, so he tentatively called softly.

"Well, I heard you." The old man replied to Qin Tian.

It's just that the voice is a little strange, mixed with some "sizzle" sounds of radio waves.

When Qin Tian was in the room, because it was separated by a door, he couldn't hear the radio waves in the sound, but he could hear it very clearly after going out.

"Shopkeeper, you...

Qin Tian had a bad feeling.

"Quack," a hoarse laugh came from the back, "you're open, you're open." ”

"Huh?" Qin Tian was shocked.

"What are you talking about?" Qin Tian stepped forward and pushed the shopkeeper.

Who knew that this push actually ripped off the clothes on the shopkeeper's body.

The clothes slipped off, revealing a rack of clothes inside, the top of which was covered with a torn and shriveled leather ball.

"Not the shopkeeper!"

Qin Tian's pupils contracted violently, and his heartbeat was beating rapidly.

If you weren't the owner, how did the sound come out?

Qin Tian can be sure that the words that the shopkeeper said before are not recordings, because Qin Tian and the shopkeeper have been talking, and the recording can only record a paragraph in advance, and it is impossible to communicate with Qin Tian in real time.

"By the way, it's a mobile phone or a walkie-talkie!" His eyes lit up.

He has seen this method before, in the plot of the No. 14 bus, when the body of the bus driver was manipulated, Jia Mingfang, the mastermind behind the scenes, used his mobile phone to talk to the passengers on the bus.

Thinking of this, Qin Tian hurriedly walked around to the front of the hanger, and sure enough, he saw a crack in the ball, and there was light emitting from the crack.

Qin Tian reached out and took out a mobile phone from the crack, it was an old-fashioned mobile phone, quite old-fashioned, and the screen showed that he was on a call.

"Gaga, you found out, I saw you, you opened the door, you actually opened the door and walked out."

A hoarse voice came from the phone, an unfamiliar voice, not the owner's.

Previously, he had been mimicking the voice of the shopkeeper and disguised himself as the shopkeeper.

"Stomp, stomp."

In the next second, there was a dense and rapid sound of footsteps at the top of the staircase.

"Oops!" Qin Tian hurriedly wanted to go back to the room.

And at this time, the door automatically closed with a "bang", closing Qin Tian outside.

At the same time, the dense footsteps were getting closer and closer, and they were rushing up at a rapid pace.
