Chapter 2816 Phantom Haunted Room (XVI)

Chapter 2790 Phantom Murder Room (XVI)

It is definitely not possible to rush out of the room and face the mysterious existence in the corridor. Even if Jerome is really Jerome and Gordon is Gordon, in this case, they don’t even know whether their words are controlled or not, and they are simply unreliable.

But if Gordon’s method is not used, it seems that there is no way to get out of the 19th floor. Schiller thought carefully and thought that dawn should be his last chance.

There is no doubt that the noise in the room will become less and less. No one knows what will happen if the noise disappears. Besides, Schiller is not sure whether the thing controlling the hallucination in the room will be angry next night.

His sanity value will not decrease, but there is still a blood bar. Just looking at the thing on Gordon’s neck, Schiller’s head is still buzzing.

So it is best to solve the matter during the day. Peter can’t drag it out for too long. Schiller can’t find any clues, so there is no hope for him.

Soon, Schiller waited until dawn. The corridor was still very quiet, but there was no movement in rooms 1901 and 1903. Schiller suspected that the situation in these two rooms had deteriorated to the bottom, that is, they had completely lost their rationality and became puppets of something.

However, it was just right that the two of them kept silent, so as not to disturb him. Schiller thought that he had no intention of exploring what was in the room, because no matter what was in the room now, it was unreliable. It would be better to focus on the corridor.

Schiller went out and took a good look at the corridor, but it was really unremarkable. Similar corridors can be found in any hotel in the world.

There were no extra decorations in the corridor. The flower pots and fake flowers were ordinary. There were no oil paintings on the walls. The carpet was completely fixed to the ground and could not be opened. The solid wood door looked very textured, but there was no decoration such as garlands.

Schiller observed for a long time and finally set his sights on the house number. This was the only clue he had not used so far, and the only clue that had nothing to do with the thing in the corridor and the elevator.

This just proves that this clue may be very important.

It is known that the house number of room 1900 has been changed, so which room's house number has been exchanged with it?

In fact, Schiller has now confirmed it, because he had previously removed the screws of the house number in the left corridor. From the screw holes, all the screws were screwed in only once, which means that all the house numbers on the left have not been changed, even including the room 1913 that looks malicious.

There are no signs of screws being screwed in twice in other rooms on the right, so the answer is obvious. The only room Schiller has not removed the screws and observed the screw holes is room 1905.

To be on the safe side, Schiller unscrewed a screw on the house number of his room. Sure enough, the screw hole marks in this screw were very messy, and it was obvious that it was screwed twice.

It seems that the house numbers of rooms 1905 and 1900 have been exchanged, but the question is, who changed it and why?

Since he didn't want to find out who else was in the room, Schiller put the first question aside. He instinctively felt that the second question was the key.

From the structure of the hotel corridor, the smaller the number, the closer it is to the elevator. This is a rule on both sides. If the house numbers of Room 1900 and Room 1905 were changed, then this rule would be broken.

And Schiller thought there shouldn't be a corridor. Room 1905 is next to Room 1901, and behind it are Room 1903 and 1904. This is too strange.

Schiller stood in front of the door and observed the house number carefully, but he really couldn't see any clues. He knew that if he wanted to know the deeper secrets of the house number, he had to conduct an experiment.

Schiller was going to take down the house number of a door.

The last time he tried to do this, he found that the wooden door began to age rapidly, but he didn't observe what would happen in the end. It's time to choose an unlucky person to do an experiment.

Schiller's eyes wandered between Room 1903 and Room 1901. He wanted to choose these two rooms, but they were not important. After thinking for a while, Schiller passed the elevator, came to the corridor on the left, and stood in front of Room 1913.

This room was very welcoming to him from the beginning, and the door was wide open to invite him in. In this case, it must not be stingy to contribute itself to Schiller's experiment.

Schiller took out a knife and started to screw the screws.

To screw the screws hard, the door must not be open, so Schiller simply closed the door, but he just closed the door, and within a few seconds, someone knocked on the door.

"You remembered to knock on the door now? It's too late!" Schiller said while tightening the screws: "Don't you know that you should close the door when you go out alone?"

I don't know if it was stimulated by this sentence, the thing inside began to hit the door, but Schiller held the door tightly, and he was very fast. A screw was unscrewed within a few seconds. Before the thing hit the door for the second time, the door plate of Room 1913 fell into Schiller's hands.

As soon as the door plate was taken down, the room began to age at the fastest speed. Schiller stepped back a little, and the aging speed became faster and faster, and then the whole door merged with the wall and disappeared completely.

Schiller walked forward and touched the wall where the door was originally. There was no flaw, as if there was no room there at all. The wall here was always cold and hard.

Schiller retreated to the elevator and looked at the layout of the corridor on the left. It was indeed a bit strange that a room was missing. Then he walked to the original location of Room 1913 and found that there were four screw holes on the wall.

Can the doorplate be nailed back? Will Room 1913 appear again?

Schiller did not try, because the moment he removed the doorplate, he could feel that the thing in the room had stepped back a few steps to accumulate strength to hit the door. Now put the room back, it is hard to say whether it will knock the door open, so let's keep the doorplate for now.

Schiller first sent the door of Room 1913 back to the room, and then began to study Rooms 1905 and 1900.

Room 1913 disappeared along with the house number, which means that the house number is likely to be the body of the room. In this case, the person who changed the house number did not just change the house number, but directly changed the positions of the two rooms.

The difference is that if only the house number was changed, then the so-called Room 1905 where Schiller now lives should be Room 1900, so it is possible that someone deliberately wanted Schiller to live in Room 1900.

But if the house number was changed along with the room, then Room 1905 where Schiller lived was actually still Room 1905, but the location was changed, from near the elevator to the end of the corridor, opposite Room 1904.

But what is the significance of such a change?

Schiller initially thought that someone might want to keep Room 1905 away from the elevator, because Bruce Jr. specially marked Room 1905 on the coordinates he gave him, which means that this room is special and it is normal for someone to move it.

But then I thought about it, it seems that there is no need for this. The elevator does not have any clear danger, even the monster that took the elevator did not show any tendency to rush into the room. If the nearest room is checked every night, then no matter how far Room 1905 is moved, the danger will be the same, and there is not much meaning in doing so.

Then think about it the other way around, could it be that someone wants Room 1900 to be close to the elevator?

But because there are no clues about the elevator and it is currently very calm, all the inferences related to the elevator are somewhat unreasonable.

Schiller stood in front of the door of Room 1905 and thought about it. There is another possibility. If the positions of Room 1905 and Room 1900 are swapped, then the original Room 1900 should be located here in Room 1905, which is opposite to Room 1904.

Is it possible that someone does not want Room 1900 to be opposite to Room 1904?

Schiller felt that he had grasped the key. If the person who swapped the house number was the person in Room 1904, then it would make sense.

Because 1900 and 1913 are the same, it is not normal for these two numbers to appear on this floor, so there may be danger in room 1900, and this danger is likely to threaten the room opposite him, so someone will swap the house numbers of the two rooms so that room 1900 will not face his room.

But what danger is there in room 1900?

At present, Schiller has not seen any danger in any room rush out of the door and come to the corridor. Does the person in room 1904 think that the thing in room 1900 will rush out?

Because only in this way, room 1904 will be the first to bear the brunt and the people in it will have the motivation to change the house number.

Schiller thought about it and came up with a good idea. He planned to remove the house number of room 1900 and put it in the position of room 1913, anyway, it is now empty.

As for what kind of changes this will cause, Schiller is also very curious. It would be better if there is something abnormal, so that more clues can be inferred.

Schiller removed the doorplate of Room 1900 as quickly as possible, walked to the location of Room 1913 with the doorplate, and nailed the doorplate to the place where the screw hole was.

A gray-white door slowly appeared and gradually merged with the doorplate, as if the doorplate had never left, and it was clearly written "1900".

Room 1900 had always been very quiet, and there was no change even after it was moved to this location. Schiller waited for a while and found that there was no movement, so he returned to his room.

But he did not sit and wait for death, but connected Peter's communication. Assuming that he was at a point in time in the past, there must be changes in Peter's place after the house number was changed.

After receiving Schiller's message, Peter opened the door and looked into the corridor. He found that many people went out for breakfast again, but it seemed that there was no movement in the corridor on the far right.

Peter tiptoed over, stood at the middle elevator and looked at the end of the corridor on the right, then widened his eyes and said, "It is indeed Room 1900, Doctor, this is so strange."

Then Peter's eyes turned slightly to the side, as if he saw something strange again. He looked back at the room opposite Room 1900 and said in confusion, "Why is there a Room 1913?"

"What?"

Schiller stared at the message sent back by Peter. Peter took a video for him. The first room to appear in the camera was of course Room 1900, but as the camera turned back, the doorplate opposite Room 1900 read "1913".
