Chapter 2805 Phantom Haunted Room (V)

Chapter 2779 Phantom Haunted Room (V)

Schiller walked to the door of Room 1900. This time the door did not open. On the contrary, it was very tightly closed. Schiller walked up to turn the door handle but could not turn it. He leaned over and looked through the crack in the door, but could not see anything.

He took out another piece of sticky note and stuffed it in through the crack in the door, but the crack seemed to be blocked by something. The front end of the sticky note was wrinkled, but it could not be stuffed in at all.

The crack in the door was very tight and not enough for a person's finger to pass through. The hardware facilities of this hotel are also relatively advanced. They use door cards instead of keys, so there is no keyhole to look at, let alone pick the lock.

Schiller thought about it and his eyes fell on the door number plate of Room 1900. What was more strange was that there were only two screws on the upper half of the door number plate of Room 1900, and the two screws on the lower half were missing.

Schiller turned his head and looked at Room 1901 opposite him, confirming that the door number was indeed fixed with four screws, not two. What about the two screws on the door of Room 1900?

All the door numbers look exactly the same, so it is possible that the door numbers have been replaced, but can the screws really be removed by ordinary methods?

Schiller walked up and touched the screw with his hand first, but there was no reaction. He pried it gently with a pen and found that it could not be turned, but if there was a screwdriver, it should be able to be unscrewed.

Schiller did not have a screwdriver, but he had a knife. Schiller opened his windbreaker and took out the knife that looked very thin, but was actually made of sound-absorbing steel vibranium, from the pocket inside the windbreaker.

The biggest advantage of this thing is that it can absorb sound. Even if it is used to pick locks or knock, it will not make any noise. It is very suitable for various supernatural scenes, but it has no special performance in terms of attack power. Stabbing people with two knuckle-long blades may not be fatal.

Schiller inserted the tip of the knife into the cross-shaped screw hole and twisted it with one hand. It really turned. He began to twist the knife with some effort. It took three or four minutes to remove a screw.

But Schiller was not in a hurry to remove the second screw, because now there was only one screw left in the entire house number, which meant that Schiller could turn the house number.

Schiller turned the house number down, revealing the screw hole of the screw he removed. He turned on the flashlight and looked inside. The threads inside were very messy, which meant that someone had screwed out the original screw and screwed a new one in.

The house number had indeed been replaced.

So now the question is, which house number was replaced with the 1900 house number?

According to the numerical law, the 00 house number should indeed appear here, because it is opposite the 01 house number.

But according to common sense, the 00 house number should not appear anywhere, because any normal hotel cannot have a 00 room, so it is normal for him to replace any house number.

Schiller unscrewed the other screw, but the moment he took the doorplate off, he found that the door in front of him began to age rapidly. The paint on the wooden door panel was peeling off, and the wood became rotten.

After hesitating for half a second, Schiller put the doorplate back to its original position. The aging stopped and was gradually recovering.

It seems that the doorplate cannot be moved, or it cannot be taken away for a long time. Schiller estimated the aging speed just now. If there is a professional screwdriver, he should be able to replace the doorplate once before it is completely aged.

Looking at the current situation, someone may have done this, so why did the other party replace the doorplate?

There is no supernatural phenomenon on the doorplate, so the problem lies in the door. Once the doorplate leaves the door, the door will begin to age rapidly, and it is unknown what it will become at the end of aging.

Will the room age with the door?

Someone changed the doorplate at the risk of the door aging and collapsing, proving that confusing a room is more important to him than whether the things in the room are safe.

Schiller didn't see any house numbers missing screws in the corridor on the left. He remembered clearly that when he looked over just now, all the house numbers were fixed on the door with four screws.

But room 00 was missing two screws. Where did these two screws go? Why didn't the person who changed the house number screw all four screws in?

Too many questions could not be answered, which made Schiller feel bad. He has never been a law-abiding person, but the kind of person who would make the world unhappy if you don't make me happy.

Schiller walked to the door of room 1902 next to him.

He took a knife and removed the two screws under the house number of room 1902, then walked to the door of room 1901, ignored a head that was hitting the door, and removed the two screws under the house number of room 1901, and then walked to the door of room 1903...

That's right, since the person who changed the house number can remove two screws, Schiller can remove the two screws under all the house numbers.

These two screws are not important, but the absence of these two screws is very important to Schiller's mood.

The question is that all Schillers are sick.

All I can say is that Schiller, who stood in front of the door of the corridor in the middle of the night and pried the screws one by one, now looks like the most ghost-like creature in the whole hotel.

Just as Schiller was working on the screws on the doorplate of Room 1903, he suddenly heard movement in the room of Room 1903, and soon a footstep was approaching the door.

Schiller's movements did not pause at all, speeding up the rotation speed of his hands, and soon, a screw was removed by him.

"Hey, what are you doing?!"

A voice suddenly came from behind the door, and a dark shadow flashed at the peephole, as if someone was looking out of the door through the peephole.

"I'm working." Schiller said.

"You can't take that thing off, get out of here!"

"Are you the person who is going to check out today?" Schiller recognized his voice, but his hands did not pause at all, and he said: "Why are you back again?"

"Did you hear what I said? You can't remove that screw, screw it on!"

"Why?"

The other party seemed to be stunned by the question, and said angrily: "Then why did you unscrew it? Are you crazy?"

"I see that there are only two on the door number of room 1900. I have obsessive-compulsive disorder, so I decided to make all the room door numbers have only two."

This statement obviously shocked the people in the door greatly. But soon he said anxiously: "You can't do this, listen to me, screw it back quickly, this thing is very important, without the house number, something terrible will come in."

The two screws of Room 1903 were already in Schiller's hand. He weighed the screws in his hand and said: "That's great, I decided to nail all the screws on my house number."

"You..." The other party was choked and speechless. After a long time, he said: "You don't need so many screws, four for a house number is enough, give mine back to me!"

"Do you know the occupant of Room 1901?" Schiller asked.

The other party suddenly fell silent and no longer mentioned anything about asking Schiller to return the screws to him.

Schiller began to remove the remaining two screws.

The person inside heard the noise and shouted in fear: "Are you crazy? You want to take down the doorplate???"

"Is there anything wrong with that?"

"No, please." The person inside the door was obviously panicked. He said: "You can't do that. Something terrible will happen."

"Then tell me what happened to 1901 first."

"Okay, okay, I tell you, don't take it down." The other party hurriedly said: "I only saw the man once on the first day of check-in. He looked very sick and pale. As soon as I saw him, he ran to the bathroom to vomit."

"I guess he may have died a long time ago. The thing that is hitting the door now may not be a person. You must not open the door for him."

Schiller stopped turning the screw. After thinking for a while, he said: "Didn't you check out? Why didn't you leave?"

"I can't leave." The other party was completely silent after saying that. No matter how Schiller turned the screw, there was no movement.

Schiller stopped tightening the remaining two screws, but he did not return the two he had removed before. He looked down at his watch and saw that it was already 11:45, and there were still 15 minutes until midnight.

Schiller came to the door of Room 1904. He was very careful not to touch the carpet with half a footprint, but began to remove the two screws on the door of Room 1904. This time no one made a sound, and Schiller removed the screws on the door of Room 1904 very smoothly.

Now, except for Room 1905, there are only two screws left on the doorplates of all the doors in the corridor on the right.

Schiller walked back to the door of Room 1905, but did not nail all the screws on his door, but walked back to his room with the screws.

He summarized his gains from this trip. First, he knew that the hotel elevator was likely to be out of service after 11 o'clock, and secondly, he figured out that the structure of the corridor on the left was basically the same as this side, but there was a room 13.

The situation on the right side is a bit complicated. The number plate on the door of room 1900 may have been moved. There is a person standing behind the door of room 1901 knocking on the door with his head. There is no movement in room 1902. In room 1903 lives a person who claims to be inseparable. There is a half footprint in front of the door of room 1904. I live in room 1905.

And now I have removed two screws on the number plates of all the rooms on the right except my room. According to the people in room 1903, the number plates may have some special functions, and the screws that fix the number plates are also very important.

I guess that after midnight, some terrible changes may happen in the corridor. Now I have removed all the screws of the number plates in the corridor on the right. Will there be any strange situation?

Schiller waited patiently in the room for a while, and soon he heard a ding from outside the door.

This is the sound of the elevator opening on this floor. He heard it during the day. This means that the elevator has resumed operation, but it is more likely that something has come up.

There were no footsteps or other sounds. Schiller looked down at his watch and found that it was already 12:01. Everything was very quiet, as if nothing unusual had happened.

There was another ding, and the elevator seemed to open again. Then it was quiet for at least a minute, and then there was another ding.

However, Schiller was very keen to find that except for the first ding, the other dings should not be made by the elevator. Although the sound was exactly the same, the source of the sound was getting closer.

Ding!

This was the fourth ding. Schiller heard it very clearly. It came from Room 1903 next door.

Ding!

In his own room.

Schiller immediately turned around and walked towards the direction where the sound came from. He opened the bedroom door and found nothing that could make such a sound. He immediately started searching. After searching for a long time, he finally found an alarm clock in the lower layer of the closet.

This alarm clock is a very ordinary one. When the time comes, there will be a small hammer hitting both ears of the retro alarm clock. This thing is the only thing in the whole room that can make such a metallic sound.

Schiller studied it, but this alarm clock is very ordinary, the time is very accurate, and no one has set a timer or anything. If it was this thing that rang just now, it would be difficult to guess who controlled it.

Schiller put the alarm clock next to his ear.

He listened carefully. At first, he could only hear the sound of the second hand rotating, but after listening for a long time, this sound began to transform into another sound, no longer a dry mechanical sound, but more like the sound of water drops.

Tick, tick, tick...
