Chapter 16: Chance Encounters
A breeze poured in from outside the door, and the white woven lamp hanging from the ceiling swayed slightly, and the yellowing light hit Ma Liang's body, and the shadows around him were all swaying wantonly on the ground.
The originally cold door of the hotel added the feeling of a group of demons dancing wildly, and ordinary people were here, but they were afraid that they would be afraid and leave the hotel without looking back.
But Ma Liang is very tired now, and the process of pulling his body with the photographer has consumed too much of his energy, and he is not in the mood to pay attention to these natural phenomena now.
He walked to the counter and knocked on the countertop, trying to attract the old man's attention:
"Uncle, is there any room available?"
Behind the counter, an old man lies upright on a chaise longue, motionless, his face covered with age spots, and if you look closely, you will find that the ups and downs of his chest are faintly visible, like a corpse.
Ma Liang didn't have any suspicions, the old man in front of him was undoubtedly a living person, he walked around the counter and lightly touched the uncle's body.
The touch from the body made the uncle open his eyes suddenly, one of the eyes was dim, the original brown pupil was covered with white, and the remaining one eye looked at Ma Liang, stretched out his finger and pointed to his ear, and shook his hand.
The uncle's ears didn't seem to be good, and he understood what the uncle meant, Ma Liang put his hands together, touched the side of his face, closed his eyes, and conveyed the message of sleep to the uncle.
Looking at Ma Liang's serious and funny actions, the uncle stretched out two fingers and signaled 200 for one night, and then took out a key from the drawer, and the key was strung with the house number: "203".
Ma Liang didn't think much about it, paid the money, and took the key in the uncle's hand, just when Ma Liang put the key in his pocket.
"Pimple~"
The broom that was originally placed at the door suddenly fell to the ground, and it was clear that the wind had stopped, but the incandescent light above his head was still shaking, and the shadows around him seemed to be laughing at Ma Liang.
Ma Liang, who was originally about to go upstairs, frowned, could it be true? Using a trace of supernatural power, the hidden darkness attacked the uncle.
Stopped at a distance of only one minute from the uncle, there was no supernatural collision, the uncle is a good living person, Ma Liang put away the supernatural in confusion.
At this moment, he was still afraid of using the power of the photoghost, suppressing the photoghost to the deepest and slowing down the speed of his ghost's recovery.
Ma Liang turned around and continued to walk upstairs, but before he took two steps, there was another noise upstairs, and the uncle on the side was still sitting on the recliner to rest, and the sound did not affect him for half a minute.
But at this time, Ma Liang's eyes revealed impatience, he wanted to see what was going on in this hotel, and he had all kinds of accidents not long after.
Stepping on a steady pace, Ma Liang followed the source of the sound, wanting to find out, the hotel is a low building, counting the first floor of the hall, a total of only three floors, there are not many rooms, there are only 10 rooms on one floor.
At the staircase on the third floor, Ma Liang saw an open door, which was the door to the rooftop, and there was a faint conversation between several people outside the door.
"Xiaoya, look, there's nothing, I told you, it's not good to be at home at night, but I want to come to live in a hotel."
"Yes, yes, why don't you go home, staying in a hotel at night, isn't it a waste of money?"
"Okay, you Chen Hu, Wang Qing is brought by me, forget it, why are you scared of this fart who came over now, I tell you, there must be something wrong with this hotel!"
Ma Liang stood in the corridor, listening to the conversation between the two men and a woman, and couldn't help but feel a strange emotion in his heart, and suddenly drew a picture in his mind:
Late at night, the hotel, the ghosts, the trio of death, the group is destroyed.
Ma Liang, who had already made up the plot in his brain, smiled self-deprecatingly, it is indeed a pure taste of domestic horror films.
But this hotel, although the environment is a little worse, but so far, there is nothing that makes him feel strange, Ma Liang's brows are furrowed.
He walked to the rooftop, and the Lin Ya trio, who were originally on the rooftop, looked at Ma Liang in surprise, thinking that it was really a ghost.
"Hey, handsome guy, you walk without a sound, your face is still so bad, you ......"
Lin Ya was taken aback by Ma Liang, and originally wanted to hurt Ma Liang for a few words, but seeing Ma Liang's pale face and indifferent eyes, the words that she originally wanted to mock the kidney deficiency were suddenly stuck in her throat.
"What are you doing, ghost? Looking for death? ”
Ma Liang opened his mouth, bluntly pointing out what Lin Ya and the three of them would do again at this moment, hearing Ma Liang's words, Lin Ya's expression moved slightly, and she said excitedly:
"Handsome guy, you also believe that there are ghosts in this hotel, right? I'll just say, there are still like-minded people, so let's do it together. ”
Glancing at the two big men beside him with disdain, Lin Ya invited Ma Liang to form a team.
Ma Liang ignored Lin Ya's invitation, but wondered why he came here specifically to find the so-called ghosts, is there really any clue?
"Why do you want to come here?"
"What? Handsome guy, don't you know, this is a famous haunted hotel near here, I heard that the hotel doesn't make money at all, and the owners of the hotel are all barely sustained by the relief money,
And you see, this kind of room is actually two hundred and one nights, isn't this just a meal that can be slaughtered? ”
Lin Ya paused, took out her mobile phone, opened an APP, and said:
"And if you look at the comments on this niche review, they are all suspicious of haunting, one comment said that after staying in a hotel for one night, the friend next door suddenly disappeared, leaving only shoes and socks still by the bedside."
The comment was accompanied by several photos, including photos of the police coming to investigate later, as well as photos of the room after the crime at that time, on the side of the bed, a pair of sneakers were neatly placed under the bed, and the tips of the shoes pointed straight at the bed.
"You said, if his friend leaves, who won't put on their shoes and walk again, and there is this one, this person said, he suspects that the boss is a ghost, and there are a few photos of the boss that are secretly taken."
In the comments, there are photos of the uncle resting, photos of the uncle drying clothes, and photos of the uncle sweeping the street at the door.
"These photos are normal, what do they mean?" Ma Liang said indifferently.
"This is a place where people have disappeared, you look at this uncle, there is no fluctuation in his heart, and he can even do these daily activities every day, and you can also see what the uncle looks like, it's terrifying."
Ma Liang shook his head, he had already investigated the uncle's situation, he was a living person, how could it be a ghost, as for the disappearance, after so much time, he couldn't find anything.
And since this comment came out, very few people have come to this hotel again, so until now, one person has disappeared, maybe that person's friend really had an accident, but it should have nothing to do with the supernatural.
Although ghosts have rules and follow the rules to kill people, ordinary people, even if they are close to ghosts, they will feel very uncomfortable, and if there are really ghosts wandering in this hotel, no one should be able to survive.
Seeing Ma Liang's disbelieving look, Lin Ya was anxious to explain what it was, but Chen Hu and Wang Qing on the side covered Lin Ya's mouth and apologized:
"I'm sorry, my friend has read a lot of novels, he usually likes folk customs, and he is very fascinated by ghosts and gods, haha, it's all fake, it's all fake."
Lin Ya struggled strongly, looking at the two people around her with hatred, thinking that she knew that she would not bring them here, and looked at Ma Liang, who had already turned her back, and was so anxious that she whimpered.
"Ghost ...... Forget it, it's good to do it yourself. ”
Ma Liang originally wanted to remind him of some supernatural things, but thinking of Lin Ya's character, if he knew that there were really ghosts in the world, he was afraid that he would be crazy to look for them, so it would be good to find some gimmicks Lele now.
Seeing Ma Liang leave the rooftop, the two put Lin Ya down and said:
"Okay, Lin Ya, go home, there is nothing in the first place, just like that person said, these things don't prove anything at all."
"If I want to go back to you, I have to stay one night no matter what I say, if not, I'll go back tomorrow."
Wang Qing and Chen Hu looked at each other and sighed, and left the rooftop with Lin Ya, they couldn't leave her alone.
All four of them left the rooftop, and the night shrouded in this small building, and the dark night seemed to have no end, and the story of the night had just begun.
