"Let's go."

Jiang Ning stuffed the black card into his pocket and turned to walk outside.

He suddenly thought that since the black-robed man who had been chasing him and Enoshima came in and there was a knock at the hotel door, could he find a way to block the gate tightly to stop the black-robed man or buy them more time?

Although Jiang Ning knew that this might not achieve the purpose he had in mind, why not give it a try?

It's better to be passive all the time after trying.

Thinking so, Jiang Ning told Enoshima beside him what he thought—excluding the part that every time the black-robed person entered here—although he had doubted her thoughts before.

But for now, the hardcover notebook at the reception desk said that it was only her and herself here, and the most correct thing to do was to huddle together to defend against foreign enemies.

"Well...... Enoshima looked a little thoughtful, not knowing what he was thinking, "that's a good idea, let's block the door together for a while, so that no uninvited guests can enter." ”

I don't know why, Jiang Ning always felt as if something had been ignored, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

At this moment, Jiang Ning heard hurried footsteps in the corridor outside and on the stairs.

Jiang Ning's eyes widened, could it be that there was anyone else in this hotel?

Did he/she hide before?

Or did he/she enter the hotel through improper means, such as climbing in through a window, etc.?

Encountering such an incomprehensible and inexplicable thing, Jiang Ning's conditioned brain sprang into action, listing all some reasonable and even unreasonable ideas.

On the other side, Enoshima continued to rummage through the counter at the reception desk as if he hadn't heard anything, trying to find the pages attached to the envelope.

Of course, it is not excluded that she is pretentious.

But now Jiang Ning didn't want to think about the details that didn't make much sense, and he quickly rushed to the corridor while thinking about it, trying to find the person hiding in the hotel, or "creature".

Even the black-robed people who felt that they had fallen into the void and could not hurt the core existed even if they used all their strength, and who could guarantee that the people who appeared in the hotel were normal people?

To be honest, Jiang Ning is now even beginning to believe that the "resurrection technique" on the letter can really resurrect the dead.

Because that kind of unscientific thing happens around me, it seems that everything has become traceable.

But when he ran around the corner of the hallway, ready to find the hiding guy, he stopped.

For he saw some blood stains suddenly appear in the corridors and on the stairs going upstairs, and bloody footprints, and even on the handrails of the stairs.

That's never been seen before.

Not only that, but he saw some strange marks left on the floor, as if a person who had lost too much blood had crawled on the floor.

These strange pictures made Jiang Ning's hairs stand on end, his back was cold, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"What's wrong? What's going on? “

After Jiang Zhidao heard Jiang Ning's movements, he followed up with some puzzlement and asked.

Then, she saw that Jiang Ning's face was now showing a hint of horror.

Looking along Jiang Ning's line of sight, she also saw a dazzling bright red, like a flower blooming in the night, bewitching but deadly.

Enoshima let out a frightened scream, pulling Jiang Ning back from his stunned and frightened state, his face was solemn, and he walked cautiously all the way up in the direction of these blood stains.

This hotel has a total of three floors, except for the floor of the room where I am located, I didn't find anything unusual, and the further you go up, the more bloody the smell becomes.

And Jiang Ning noticed that as he followed the traces to the doors of the two rooms on the second floor, the color of those blood stains actually began to slowly fade until they disappeared.

Moreover, he saw dried traces of blood stains on one of the doors.

In other words, the "creature" hiding in this hotel just now should have entered one of the two rooms.

After confirming that the creature's trace had disappeared here, Jiang Ning's tense nerves relaxed, and he didn't immediately go to open the door, but leaned against the wall and looked around, observing the place he hadn't been here.

The corridor on the second floor is also dimly lit, but there are no windows and are lit by only three lights.

On the same side of the hallway, there are two doors, one with "study" written on it and the other with "utility room".

At the same time, one can notice a painting hanging on the wall of the hallway, yes, "Sisyphus".

Again, as in the third and first floors, the scenery changes every time you look at it, but the behavior of the people in the painting never changes or stops.

It can be called "Schrödinger's behavior".

Retracting his gaze, Jiang Ning swallowed his saliva and pushed open the door of the room called the "utility room", and a strong smell of blood hit his nose, making him almost vomit.

In the utility room, there are rows of shelves stacked with items, and a wooden box is placed in the corner of the room.

But following the smell of blood, there was no way to find the source, and Jiang Ning didn't dare to approach this utility room rashly.

This was an intuition, and Jiang Ning had a hunch that there was definitely danger in this utility room, or rather, there were definitely some clues that could be obtained, but there was some price to pay in exchange.

Then again, where did the guy who went into hiding go?

Jiang Ning stood at the door and wandered left and right, hesitating.

The furnishings in the utility room are in full view, and there is nothing else except for the rows of shelves, and it seems that this room is basically not used on weekdays.

But where does the smell of blood come from?

Could it be ....... Is it the smell coming from that wooden box in the corner?

After restraining the fear in his heart, Jiang Ning began to rummage through the shelves, placing the wooden box containing the unknown item at the end of the order.

After a series of wits and courageous battles with dust, Jiang Ning found a box of matches, a kerosene lamp, and a pistol.

Why is the pistol here?

Just as Jiang Ning stretched out his somewhat trembling hand to pick up the pitch-black pistol in confusion, the sound of glass breaking suddenly sounded in his ears.

When I turned my head, I saw that the glass casing on the outside of the kerosene lamp had exploded without warning, and it looked as if it had been hit by something.

Wait a minute.......
