Invincible Chapter 1148

After spending more than half an hour on the road, the hotel appeared in Zhao Wenrui's sight.

It is like a nail house in a group of chickens, with the appearance of an old two-story motel entrusted between high-rise buildings, which is much easier to identify than expected.

Before entering the store, a musty smell came from inside, which matched the first impression of the store.

Amidst the unpleasant sound of 'squeaking' scratching his heart and lungs, Zhao Wenrui opened the door and came to the lobby of the hotel.

The first thing that comes into view is the mosaic tiles, which are trivial and disturbing. They were originally black and white, but the dirt and damage make them lose their distinct and opposite features, leaving only the impression of being old and poorly maintained.

It can be said that this hotel only needs to evacuate people, so in fact, there will be no sense of disobedience in the abandoned place.

What's funny is that in such a hall, there is also a grand piano placed in an arty manner. Looking at the crooked appearance of the peeling paint, it is estimated that a little weight on the hands and feet can make it fall apart.

On the old wooden counter, there is a dirty service bell, and there is no one behind the counter.

Instead of ringing the bell, Zhao Wenrui took out the secret investigator's metal badge, which is used as a police badge, pinned to his left chest, and went around behind the counter to check.

The counter was messy, with garbage piled up mainly leftovers, some of which had even visibly deteriorated and moldy. Insects are rampant, which is obviously more than normal, and most of them are poisonous insects.

Although he was wearing leather gloves, Zhao Wenrui still didn't want to touch the items here directly. He stretched out his hand and waved towards the corner, and part of the wooden decoration there was missing.

And there was an extra wooden ball in his hand. The wooden ball germinated and sprouted branches and leaves, and it grew into a baton between breaths. With a slight shake, the excess part fell off like autumn leaves, and before it hit the ground, it turned into a stream of light and dissipated.

He used a baton to scrape away the garbage, and then flipped through a large yellow paper book with curled corners and a damp look.

This is the hotel's check-in register. According to the above records, there are only two residents so far this month, one is Wu Tianzhu and the other is two days ago.

In addition to the register, some of the value included a bunch of keys, some of which were rusty and obviously hadn't been used for a long time, and there were stickers on the handles of the other keys, the numbers were still legible although they were blurred.

Zhao Wenrui didn't take this bunch of keys, so there's no need for it.

In fact, if it were not for the wanton use of extraordinary means,

It is possible to scare the enemy, he can use magic to open all locks, even magic locks.

But now it is still difficult for him. After simple observation and comparison, he has figured out the law of the key teeth. Generally speaking, the door locks of hotels are purchased and installed in batches. It is not difficult to understand.

In addition, he also saw a price list. The price of a standard room is 1 shilling a day, and an additional 2 pence is required for breakfast.

As for why the price list posted on the small bulletin board was put away, a bright red X was put on the back of the breakfast, which is enough to explain the problem.

Zhao Wenrui seemed to see that there was a problem in the kitchen first, and then even the normal operation was somewhat difficult to sustain...

"Hello! Who are you!?" From the direction of the entrance of the hall behind him, came a somewhat exasperated male voice.

Zhao Wenrui turned around calmly, looked at the other party with a blank expression, and tapped the metal badge on the left chest with a baton.

"The police force is insufficient recently, and it's a bit late to come here."

By beating the badge to attract the other party's attention, the hypnotism has been activated quietly.

The clothes are messy and there are many muddy footprints. The sweaty middle-aged man did not question Zhao Wenrui's identity, but directly entered the complaint mode: "I hope you are here, just now, I sent the last guest to the hospital .Officer, haven't you seen Jessica at the front desk?"

"Jessica! Jessica!! Come out if you're not crazy!" the middle-aged man roared in a loud voice.

Zhao Wenrui pointed with his baton, "It might be over there."

Although he didn't go there, he had sharp ears and eyes and heard the movement.

There is a corner of the hall, not far from the stairs with crooked rusty iron handrails, which looks like it leads to a kitchen or something.

The middle-aged man said to Zhao Wenrui: "I am Martin Cohen, the owner of this hotel. What do you call the police officer?"

"Wyland."

"Officer Wieland, take a quick look, the situation is terrible!" Martin said, taking the lead as the guide.

Zhao Wenrui followed behind, and when he turned into the corner door, he realized that it was a restaurant.

The food on the table has not been removed, the bread is black and moldy, the milk is sour and worried, and there are cockroaches in the water in the glass jug showing off their swimming skills...

And in the open space in the middle of the small restaurant, four people are dancing a strange dance.

This dance has a wide range of movements, somewhat like radio gymnastics. The dancers had chapped lips, haggard faces, dark circles and bags under the eyes, and no vitality in their eyes. Three of them had been completely empty and out of focus, and only one was still in a state of ecstasy, but also in a blurred state.

"I knew it was! Look, Sergeant, they're not far from mad."

Before Zhao Wenrui could express anything, Martin stepped forward in three steps at a time, grabbed the woman with blurred eyes, and slapped her face several times.

While beating, he turned his head and explained to Zhao Wenrui: "Jessica should be able to be woken up, but the three of them can't. In theory, they should be sent to the hospital, but there are already overcrowded, even the corridors are full of people, there is no room at all." placement..."

Martin poured out bitterness, but Jessica, who had woken up from the trance, was very scared and pestered Zhao Wenrui, hoping that he could give an explanation.

Zhao Wenrui naturally couldn't tell the truth. It can only be a bluff, which means that the case has made great progress and is currently in the period of collecting key information. The earlier the key information is found, the more conducive to solving the case as soon as possible. Therefore, their active cooperation is required.

"So this weird mad dance is not a disease, but a man-made curse?"

Zhao Wenrui gave Martin a meaningful smile, and said, "This is just your guess..."

"Understood, understood!" Martin secretly rejoiced at his keen deduction of the truth, and then twitched violently like a lightning strike, but he himself was unaware of it.

Zhao Wenrui naturally knew the reason for this - the more emotional he was, the more easily he would be eroded, and the faster the onset of mad dancing.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that these people in the city of God's Domain had the soul aggregation characteristic of the source of time, they would have all lost their souls and died because of the loss of San value.

It can be said that everyone suffers from mad dancing, but the symptoms are different in depth, and there are many reasons for the difference. The most important thing is the tenacity of the soul. Those who collapsed early mean that the individual quality of the assembled souls is worrying. There is basically no strong-willed existence.

After perfunctory Martin and Jessica, Zhao Wenrui began to collect clues.

There are only four guest rooms on the first floor, and the rest have been replaced by functional facilities, including a utility room, Martin's personal room, kitchen, laundry room, staff lounge, and more.

The guest rooms are mainly on the second floor. From the stairs, it is a back-shaped passage, just like a shopping mall. Standing in front of the guardrail, you can see the first floor, and the grandfather clock facing the stairway immediately aroused his attention. Notice.

The clock has stopped working, the scale points to 11:35, and the pendulum has disappeared.

After walking closer to confirm, he knew that his previous judgment was correct. This grandfather clock is rich in mysterious elements, especially the silver scale on the dial, which is almost all composed of mysterious elements.

He quickly made a rough calculation, and the mysterious elements contained in the grandfather clock exceeded 20 Euros, but he didn't dare to take it lightly.

These are not scattered parts of the wild dog's body, but densely aggregated. The most important thing is that the artificial traces are too heavy.

After thinking about it for a while, he realized that this should be an important support for the methods used by the black hand behind the scenes.

A clock is not its original appearance, but it is closely related to the law of time, so it reveals some characteristics and looks like a clock.

There is no doubt that it is not suitable to act rashly, but he is not reconciled to doing nothing.

Then I saw his palms facing each other, twisting back and forth, as if he had a Rubik's cube in his hands, but all he could see was a faint magic light flowing.

After tinkering for a while, a mass of liquid energy appeared in his right hand, and with a light flick, the liquid energy adhered to the surface of the grandfather clock like ooze, and then diffused and penetrated like mercury pouring down the ground, before disappearing without a trace.

At this moment, the clock made a soft 'click', and the minute hand moved forward a step.

At that moment, Zhao Wenrui stopped breathing, not to mention his movements.

For a long time, there was no other abnormality around him, and then he recovered from the sculpture-like state, and at the same time he let out a deep breath.

Just now, my heart really came to my throat.

If it was his operation that caught the attention of the boss behind the scenes, and thus the hands of the grandfather clock changed, it would mean that he probably made a fatal mistake from the very beginning. That is, he seriously underestimated the strength of this opponent.

It can even be said that even if the opponent is not the strength of the three-pillar god himself, he is also a strong person at the first level of the face-like figure Cthulhu himself among the evil gods of the Luo family.

If that's the case, then he shouldn't think about fishing in troubled waters and making a fool of himself. Instead, they should quickly think of a safe way to self-destruct, so as to prevent being hunted and killed by the other party.

Fortunately, the actual situation is not so bad.

He didn't move at all just now, not because he was hoping to avoid further detection by his opponent, nor because he was frightened and forgot to make any moves, but because he switched to the overall perspective immediately to observe the overall situation.

The market is an important perspective that he always pays attention to. The market situation directly determines his operational time. If the result of the estimation is that an outbreak is imminent, then at most he will make an emergency harvest and retreat.

On the contrary, you can harvest more.

Like now, the mysterious elements contained in the grandfather clock have basically fallen into his pocket. At critical moments, he can come to the bottom of the pot, not only gain real wealth, but also cheat the boss behind the scenes.

Although one point is not enough to destroy its overall plan, but if there are a few more similar points, it will be like detonating the explosives under all the load-bearing columns of the bridge, and it will definitely make the other party unable to eat.

He buried organs at the secondary key nodes, and he continued to collect intelligence as the main line.

The reason why intelligence gathering is the main line is because so far, the cover of the bureau set up by the BOSS behind the scenes has not yet been dug out.

Once he discovers this main key node, and makes a targeted and ruthless attack, then he will make a fortune, and whether he is so fat that he can do a single for 30,000 to 50,000 years depends on how much he can win. If the opponent is beheaded on the spot, it will definitely be considered a great success.

The smell on the second floor became more and more unpleasant, mixed with various odors. I don't know if Martin was reluctant to turn on the ventilation system, or simply didn't have it.

To Zhao Wenrui's surprise, there was no guest room here, and the door was open.

Maybe it's because of this level of hotel, there is no need to worry about lost or damaged items.

When Zhao Wenrui passed by, he glanced at it and found that it was indeed the case.

The rooms are not big, and the functions are very simple. They can only provide the simplest washing, convenience and rest. There is no bedding. It should be that when guests check in, they should directly buy packaged clean and disinfected sheets and quilts, or simply buy brand new ones. .

Therefore, these houses with wide open doors are not the source of the smell. At most, there is a layer of floating dust because they have not been cleaned for a long time, making the rooms that have no relationship with cleanliness even more obsolete.

There are four rooms with tight doors, namely B4, B6, C5, and C6. Area A is the four rooms on the first floor, and they are so-called deluxe rooms.

When Zhao Wenrui was about to finish checking the empty room with the door open, Martin went upstairs to look for him with a bunch of keys on a thin iron ring.

The delay was because Jessica was not doing well.

Every time you fall into an unconscious state of crazy dancing, you will consume a lot of physical energy and energy, and even if you are awakened, you will be extremely tired.

So Jessica managed to say a few words, and went to rest, while Martin hung up the sign that the business was closed, and ran to inject a sedative to the three dancing in the restaurant.

Naturally, he bought the sedative by the way when he sent the guest to the hospital. With this thing, at least it can delay the time when the madness completely drives people crazy, allowing the patient to simply recover from the tired body and excited spirit in the drowsiness. , Although it is just a drop in the bucket, it is the only feasible way.

In this regard, Zhao Wenrui watched from the sidelines the whole time, dissuaded and did not help.

I think that the interaction with the souls can be exempted from responsibility, so as not to cause changes in the time track or produce a butterfly effect.

His strength should be concentrated on the key points, and when the timing is right, he will use thunder to break the situation.

"What's the situation with B4?" Zhao Wenrui asked Martin.

"Half a year ago, a resident was so drunk that he lit a cigarette butt on a mattress that was soaked in alcohol, and was almost suffocated to death in the room. It has not been repaired since then, and it is empty."

"Oh, let's open it and have a look."

"Okay, Officer Wieland, you are really dedicated to your duties. There are very few police officers like you these days." Martin talked nonsense and went to watch the door.

The door lock was rusty, and it took a long time to open it.

Zhao Wenrui only glanced briefly, then exited the room. There was nothing he was looking for in this room, he had already confirmed it as soon as the door was opened, and entering the room to see it was simply putting on a show.

From an extraordinary perspective, 'door' can be a very representative and profound concept.

As for the location of the structural nodes of this God's Domain City, there are more things to pay attention to.

Therefore, it is best to let others do it for the action of 'opening the door', rather than him, an outsider. So as not to trigger some kind of trap.

"The next room, B6."

"The resident of B6 is Mr. Stephen, an expert. He was the one I sent to the hospital before."

"Expert, do you know what it is?"

"It seems to be something about efficiency. I don't know much about it. According to him, he was invited by Thomson Steel to improve production efficiency."

Zhao Wenrui thought to himself: "Shorten the time? This guy may be the dominant part of the series of methods used by the behind-the-scenes BOSS to promote the planning process..."
