Chapter 52: A Strange Disease Transmitted by the Hand
"He didn't even wear gloves."
Qin Tian was very surprised.
According to his observations, not everyone in this mountain town wears gloves, at least more than half of them do not wear gloves.
After the child outside the door pushed the door to no avail, he panted and ran upstairs.
This time, Qin Tian couldn't stand still, and opened the door directly to follow.
This staircase leads to the upper floor, and it was normal when he first went up, but after reaching the upper floor of the corridor, Qin Tian was surprised to find that the floor of the corridor was not flat, but a zigzag and gradually concave shape.
"Strange, and a corridor with such a structure?"
Qin Tian looked surprised.
The corridor in front of me was like a slanted twist flower, one end of the twist was high, the other end was low, the high end was on Qin Tian's side, and the low end was on the opposite side.
There was a little boy in the hallway, running towards the end of the hallway. Out of curiosity, Qin Tian followed.
Walking all the way to the end of the corridor, Qin Tian watched as the little boy suddenly disappeared.
"Huh?"
Shocked, he hurriedly ran over and found that the end of the corridor was actually connected to the second floor.
Qin Tian's room was on the third floor, and the floor he was currently on was the fourth floor, but the end of the corridor on the fourth floor was tilted downwards and actually connected directly to the second floor, skipping the third floor.
He followed the boy down to the second floor, then down the corridor on the second floor to the top of the stairs, and then followed the boy up the stairs to the door of his room.
"I see."
Qin Tian was thoughtful.
No wonder the little boy can always pass by the door of Qin Tianfang again and again, it turns out that the corridor on the 4th floor is seriously tilted down at one end, and it is directly lowered to the 2nd floor.
In this way, part of the 3rd floor is encroached on by the corridor on the 4th floor, but in this case, people on the 4th floor can go down to the 2nd floor directly through the corridor without having to take the stairs.
"I thought he was a ghost, but it seems that I was thinking too much."
Qin Tian was still hesitating, and suddenly, the little boy ran around the corridor of the hotel again and came to Qin Tian.
"Bang bang."
This time he seemed very irritable, knocking the door to get in.
"You're at the wrong door, it's not your room." Qin Tian really couldn't help it, so he spoke up.
But the little boy's reaction was very strange, as if he hadn't seen Qin Tian, and he was still knocking on the door persistently.
"What's the matter with you?"
Qin Tian pulled him and found that his eyes were red, his lips were constantly trembling, the corners of his grinning mouth were still drooling, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he looked like he was crazy.
Qin Tian was about to call the old innkeeper, but he didn't expect him to suddenly gasp and run away.
"Whose child, it's really nonsense."
Qin Tian muttered and opened the door to go in, and saw that his sister was already asleep.
"After several hours of sitting on the plane and bus, I must have been exhausted."
He smiled, then packed up his salute, and deliberately moved the cabinet behind the door to block it, and then lay down on the sofa and fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept, in a daze, Qin Tian heard the sound of the door "knocking" again, but he estimated that it was the naughty little boy again, so he ignored it.
Anyway, there was a cabinet behind the door, and the little boy couldn't open the door.
I slept very comfortably this night, and by the time Qin Tian opened his eyes, it was already past 5 o'clock in the evening.
"Huh?"
He stretched, and suddenly noticed that the cabinet behind the door had been moved, and the magnitude was not small, and there was even a small pool of blood on the ground, which had seeped in from outside the door.
"What happened?"
Qin Tian woke up instantly, quickly moved the wardrobe, and saw a scene that made his heart tremble: a person's head smashed through the door, his body was still outside the door, but his head stuck in through the hole in the door.
"It's him, the little boy." Qin Tian's face changed wildly in shock.
The boy was dead, his head slammed against the door with too much force, knocking his head into a large chunk, his head covered in blood, and his body still hanging from the broken door.
Qin Tian was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground, but the person died in his room, and the other party was not a ghost, but a living person, and he could not escape the blame.
Still, he called the police.
After the police came, they inspected the scene and defined the case as a suicide, and did not investigate Qin Tian's culpability, but only made a record for him.
The innkeeper also came, and when he saw the scene of death, his color suddenly changed, and he pulled Qin Tian's clothes and quietly went to a corner where no one was: "Brother, why don't you listen to me?" ”
"What's wrong?" Qin Tian looked puzzled.
"Didn't I tell you not to lock the door when you are resting, just take it with you, but instead of listening, you brought a cabinet to block the door."
"How can you stay in a hotel without locking the door? Boss, you're kidding. ”
Hearing Qin Tian say this, the boss was a little hesitant with a calm face, and his eyes changed a few times before he spoke: "I'll be honest with you, this is a strange city, but everyone here has a strange disease: every once in a while, they will go crazy, and they must run a few laps in a circular trajectory to return to normal." ”
"But if everyone runs on the road when they are sick, the traffic will be chaotic, so the buildings are built in a circle, and the corridors of each building are circular roundabouts, so that if anyone is sick, it will be good to run a few laps in the corridor of the building, and it will not affect the traffic."
Qin Tian was silent after hearing this, although it was hard to believe what the boss said, but Qin Tian saw the little boy's strange behavior with his own eyes, and he really had to believe it.
"How do those diseases spread?"
"Air," the boss said with an ugly face, "there is a germ in the air that can penetrate into the human body through people's hands. Only wearing gloves can keep germs out of the air. ”
Qin Tian's heart was extremely shocked, and he was silent for a while without speaking.
"To tell you the truth, my hotel also has a circular roundabout structure, which is the down-dipping corridor on the 4th floor. But a few years ago, in order to make more money, I made a private renovation, encroached on the place of the roundabout structure, and renovated a room. ”
"And that room is where you live. Every circular whirlpool is a perfect circle, after I transformed, the whirlpool structure in my hotel is incomplete, missing a piece, and must go around your room to be a complete circular trajectory. ”
"Today, the store is full, and there is only one room left, so I let you live in it, and this room is usually not for people to live."
As he spoke, the boss secretly told Qin Tian: "Brother, what I told you is the secret of this mountain city. We have dealings with each other, you have to help me keep it secret, and don't tell anyone about the room. ”
Qin Tian pondered in his heart and glanced at the corpse embedded in the door: "Why does he have to enter the room?" Even if you don't enter the room, you can run a circular trajectory. ”
"You don't know, once you get sick, you will pursue a perfect circular trajectory. If the circular trajectory is perfect enough, run around it one or two times, and the disease will be cured. ”
"What if it's not perfect?" Qin Tian asked.
"You'll be like that little boy, always chasing the perfect circular trajectory, running forward uncontrollably, losing your mind like a moth to a fire, and only instinct drives you."
After a short exchange with the boss, Qin Tian felt a shock in his heart.
This is a very common tourist small city, how can there be such a bizarre disease?
What diseases are transmitted through the air, using human hands as a medium of transmission? The unheard, the unseen.
My sister was so frightened by the corpse that crashed on the door that she died, Qin Tian didn't think too much about it, and hurried to comfort her.
"It's okay, are you hungry? I'm going to buy you something to eat, don't be afraid, the police are here." ”
Qin Tiantian went downstairs to buy food in the supermarket.
After listening to the boss's words, Qin Tian didn't dare to take off his gloves, even when he was paying, he wore gloves.
"Tourist?" The cashier saw the gloves on Qin Tian's hands.
"Yes." Qin Tian noticed that the cashier was not wearing gloves.
After paying, Qin Tian pushed the door with his things and walked out, thinking about things in his heart, his gloves accidentally slipped off his hands by the door, and were exposed to the air.
"Huh?" He looked back and saw a bare hand, and after realizing it, he hurriedly picked up the gloves and put them on.
However, at this moment, a strange feeling suddenly rose in his heart, and a thought had been calling to him, telling him to find the perfect circular trajectory.
"I don't believe it, I don't believe that there is such a strange disease in the world." Qin Angel held his head vigorously and tried to keep himself calm.
But there was a constant murmur in my head, and my mood became more and more irritable.
However, after just 10 seconds, he threw away the food in his hand and ran frantically into the nearby mall with red eyes, running wildly in circles and circles along the circular walkway...
"It's so comfortable, it's so comfortable!"
