Chapter 2819: Weird Feast Nightmare (I)
Chapter 2793 Weird Feast Nightmare (I)
Standing in the elevator, Schiller let out a long sigh.
Peter sent him a message, and he replied briefly, without saying the specific process, only saying that he had left the 19th floor.
But in fact, the crisis has just begun, because there are two other buttons in the elevator, one for the 13th floor and the other for the 7th floor. If nothing unexpected happens, the elevator will stop at these two floors, and no one knows what will enter the elevator on these two floors.
There is no special mark next to the 13th floor, but because the number 13 itself is very special, there will definitely be nothing good happening there. The word restaurant is marked next to the 7th floor, but in this weird hotel, the restaurant is obviously not a good place.
The safest way now is for Schiller to press the elevator on the 18th floor, let the elevator stop at the 18th floor, and then go to the 18th floor to find a safe room to stay.
But in fact, this is just a slow suicide to delay time. The situation in the hotel has begun to deteriorate. No room is absolutely safe. If it continues to drag on, the situation will definitely get out of control.
Schiller asked Peter to find Jerome.
Peter knocked on the door, and he certainly wouldn't open it, but Schiller knew how to negotiate with this cunning guy. Jerome seemed to care about the fact that Peter and Schiller could communicate in real time, so Schiller asked Peter to write a few words on a sticky note and pass it to him through the crack of the door.
The sticky note was taken away quickly, but there was still no movement in the room. It seemed that Jerome was thinking about whether to cooperate with them.
In fact, if it was under normal circumstances, there would be no harm in the cooperation between the two parties, but the problem was that the abnormality of this hotel could obviously affect human rationality. In this case, the only one who could be trusted was oneself. If you rashly cooperate with others, you might fall into the trap of the monster.
While Jerome hadn't replied yet, Schiller began to review the experience of the 19th floor in his mind, because some things can only be determined after you succeed in following your own ideas.
First of all, there are currently two forces in the hotel.
Whether it is the illusion monster and toilet monster in room 1905, or the elevator monster in room 1900 and the door-slamming monster in room 1913, they are obviously not so compatible.
If they are in the same group, almost no one can escape. The illusion monster can cover up the toilet water by turning it into something. As long as you don’t have a pair of fiery eyes, no one can see through it. I’m afraid you will die the first time you enter the door.
The elevator noise monster can move in the corridor unscrupulously, and anyone who is forced into the corridor will surely die.
The door of room 1913 was originally open, but once someone tried to close it, the monster would break out. This is likely that something in the corridor formed a repressive force on the room, so the door of room 1913 had to be open, because once it was closed, the repressive force was isolated, and the monster would start to bang the door. The source of this repressive force is likely to be the elevator monster in room 1900.
If all these things were created by a mastermind, then he would have tripped over his own feet. Let me say it again, this hotel is not a strange story created by the main god, and it is necessary to leave some way out for people. Whether it is the illusion monster or the toilet monster, it seems that they are meant to kill people. It is only because of the checks and balances between each other that people can have a glimmer of hope.
According to Schiller's speculation, the illusion monster in the room, the elevator monster in room 1900 and James Gordon should be the product of a system, while the toilet monster and the monster that hit the door in room 1913 may be created by others to check and balance these monsters.
The polluted water created by the toilet monster has a strong restraint on the illusion monster, and the crash of rooms 1913 and 1900 after the collision also shows that their strength levels are similar.
As for who 1903 and 1901 belong to, it doesn't really matter, because they never left the room from beginning to end. Schiller guessed that they probably had corresponding restraint options, but one of them had won after he came, leaving behind a more powerful monster.
It is not difficult to see that the fighting style of one of the two parties is inclined to conspiracy, such as the illusion monster and the elevator monster. These two monsters seem to be unable to kill people directly, and certain conditions must be triggered.
The other party is more reckless, and there are no complicated rules. There is no need to guide with words. Basically, once you encounter it, you can't escape. For example, being splashed by toilet water or walking into room 1913 are very simple and straightforward traps, and there is no beginning or end, which does not look like a well-planned one.
But there is no doubt that the latter, that is, the more reckless faction, has stronger control over the hotel, because the toilet itself is a hotel facility, and the monster in room 1913 can also break the door.
In contrast, the illusion monsters could not affect the hotel's doors and windows, and the elevator monsters could not rush into the hotel rooms. It was not that they were willing to use such conspiracy and trickery, but because they did not have enough hard power, they could only set traps.
After figuring this out, Schiller had to start thinking about what role the alarm clock played in it?
On the night before, that is, at midnight on the night when Schiller bumped the sofa out, Schiller brought the alarm clock with him, and the alarm clock did ring, which proved that there was indeed some connection between the alarm clock and the elevator monster.
But Schiller changed his mind. He believed that it was probably not the elevator monster controlling the alarm clock, but the elevator monster imitating the sound of the alarm clock.
In other words, the alarm clock and the elevator are related, and the monster completely stepped in and imitated the sounds of the elevator and the alarm clock.
Schiller also thought about the meaning of the existence of alarm clocks. Not to mention that only the battery compartment of his alarm clock contained hair. The resident of Room 1903 at Peter's time must have put the alarm clock into the water tank. It's an important clue.
It is known that there are two factions in the hotel, which can be simply summarized as the conspiracy faction and the reckless faction. There is a restraint relationship between these two factions. The action of throwing the alarm clock into the water tank is very similar to trying to use the water in the water tank. to control the alarm clock.
The toilet is under the control of the Reckless faction, and the water in the water tank is also likely to be controlled by them. So presumably, the alarm clock is within the control of the Conspiracy faction. Some people want to use the Reckless faction to restrain some of the conspiracy of the Conspiracy faction. Will throw the alarm clock into the water tank.
If the alarm clock is controlled by the conspirators, then the elevator related to the alarm clock is probably also controlled by the conspirators. But in this case, there is no need for the conspirators to create a monster that imitates the sound of the elevator and controls it in this building. The elevator almost controls everything.
Schiller did not believe that the Conspirators controlled the elevator.
Because it is very obvious that he successfully got into the elevator, and so many monsters in the conspiracy faction have been struggling for so long just to let Schiller die here. As long as they can control the elevator, Schiller will not be able to enter smoothly.
Therefore, it is very possible that the conspiracy faction only controlled the alarm clock related to the elevator. They had no way to directly control the elevator, so they played a conspiracy as always.
We still have to start with the house number.
The door number is the identity of the room. This rule may not only apply to guest rooms. This was the first thing that Schiller thought of when he discovered that the room could be taken away through the door number.
He very clearly remembered that when he got to the 19th floor, he looked back and saw that there was a floor sign on the elevator, but when he thought about it carefully, this was actually quite outrageous.
First of all, only people arriving on the 19th floor for the first time need to know that it is the 19th floor. Most hotel floor signs are posted directly opposite the elevator, so as to prevent people from walking to the wrong floor.
People who have already entered the 19th floor and need to return do not need to know that this is the 19th floor. They are either residents of the 19th floor, or they went to the wrong place, but they learned from others that they were from the 19th floor. There's no need to look at the floor number again on the way back.
In other words, it is meaningless to hang a sign with the number 19 directly above the elevator, and it will not serve as a correct reminder.
So Schiller thinks that the principle of the floor sign is very likely to be the same as that of the house number. The house number is the identity, so it needs to be placed on that wall, rather than on the opposite side of the elevator according to common sense in design psychology.
But there is a problem. The elevators are different from the guest rooms. The guest rooms on each floor are in different positions, which does not affect anything at all. But the elevator does not work. The elevators upstairs and downstairs are not in the same position. How can he get up? Isn't it directly blocked by the ceiling?
But the elevators here can be moved like building blocks. Suppose the elevator on the first floor is placed on the far left and the elevator on the second floor is placed on the far right. The result is that the elevators on the first and second floors cannot be used because the elevator shaft It's not connected at all, so the elevator naturally can't go up.
Although it is a bit ridiculous that the elevator in this weird hotel must follow the laws of physics, but if you think about it carefully, it would be even more ridiculous if you can still go up without China Unicom.
When Schiller realized that the elevator could be moved, he immediately thought about whether the elevator shaft could be connected, and then deduced that his inability to call the elevator was probably not because someone had tampered with the elevator. , but because the elevator has been moved and is not connected to the elevator shaft downstairs, it is impossible to enter or exit the 19th floor.
Some people may ask, wouldn't the elevator still be in the center at that point in time when Peter was getting on? He can come and go normally, why can't Schiller?
As mentioned before, this group of monsters, whom Schiller called the conspiracy faction, most likely did not have complete control of the elevator at Schiller's time. They could only play tricks, but they could not decipher the rules on the ground floor of the hotel, so in order to control the elevator. People were trapped on the 19th floor, so they moved the elevator to another location.
But by the time Peter arrived, it was very obvious that the entire hotel was basically operating according to the same system. There was no conflict between the tall and short people. The monster in room 1900 no longer came out. The door to room 1913 Also closed.
After ruling out the possibility of the supernatural incident completely resolving the hotel and restoring peace, there is only one possibility left, that is, one of the factions has completely taken control of the hotel.
The position of the elevator at this time is completely up to them. Even if you think about it to the extreme, did Peter really leave when he took the elevator?
If the hallucination monster can leave the room and move freely, then it must not be difficult for it to fake a restaurant or other places.
After determining that the damage to the elevator was most likely caused by its location, Schiller's next reasoning goal was to figure out where the elevator shaft downstairs was located.
