Mystery: Mr. Witch and Miss Hunter

Chapter 278
Unlike other buildings, there are no landscape trees, utility poles, concrete roads, vehicles, etc. around the hotel, and all debris within a certain range has been emptied.

The golden door of the hotel is closed, looking in through the brown transparent glass on the door, you can vaguely see the marble floor without dust and the extinguished crystal chandelier, the front desk where the service staff should be sitting is empty, no one can be seen.

Adele withdrew her searching gaze, pushed the door of the hotel, and found that the door itself was made of glass and hard, with a heavy lock tied to an iron chain hanging on the inside.Concerned about the "no looking in the mirror" rule, Adele quickly looked away from the door.

Doesn't look like a stronghold...

Adele cast a questioning look at Qiao Qiao.Qiao Qiao noticed something, and replied in a low voice: "It wasn't like this before. We just emptied the surrounding buildings and bunkers, and didn't lock the gate."

"Besides, there is absolutely no one at the front desk. There must be something wrong here."

Qiao Qiao pinned the red and blue police lights to his chest, then took out an assault pistol and a stun bomb from his pocket. "Let's go, let's change places."

"and many more."

Adele grabbed Qiao Qiao, "You said just now that humans will never lock this door, nor will they leave the front desk?"

"Yes. This is the last shelter for normal humans. It will never be locked or left unattended inside."

Qiao Qiao said with certainty.

"Then it is locked now, that is to say, it must not be a normal human being who did this thing, but some kind of creature with human intelligence. They don't want people who come later to come in. According to the information they have, this lock It has a certain degree of blocking effect, so the door is locked."

Adele analyzed, "In other words, the thing that locked the gate doesn't want us to enter through this gate."

"It seems to make sense..." Qiaoqiao hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

"We only abide by the rules of humans, and there is no need to obey the prohibitions of monsters."

Adele took two steps back, turned around suddenly, and kicked the hard door.The power brought by the potion directly shook the hinges of the door, causing the originally solid fiberglass door to shake like copper and iron.

Afterwards, Adele continued to kick the door fiercely, and finally when she kicked the third kick, the door hinge was overwhelmed, and the glass door fell to the ground with a "bang", causing dust to fly inside.

The moment she kicked the door open, Adele flung her hand and threw a blast bomb into the door, and then pulled Qiao Qiao out of the door.

A sharp explosion sounded, and Adele felt that her hair was being blown by something indescribable, and then without raising her head, she thrust the Hidden Blade forward fiercely.

The sharp screams spread from near to far. When Adele retracted the Hidden Blade, she saw that the Hidden Blade was covered with sticky black blood, which was exactly the same as the monster polluted by the underground in the dark sea.

After the hall calmed down, Adele and Qiao Qiao looked at each other, and walked into the hotel through the gate cautiously.

According to Qiaoqiao's description, the original Fountain of Youth was a major attraction in Bimini Island. However, after the pollution broke out, people found that only Bimini's spring water was not polluted from the ground. In order to ensure the supply, the government simply opened the A water tower was built on the top of the Hilton Hotel, and the water from Bimini Spring was transferred here.

"The water tower is made of a kind of medulla near the spring, in order to restore the environment of the spring water. After all, the government doesn't know why the spring water is fine, so it can only reproduce the natural environment of the spring water as much as possible."

Qiao Qiao explained to Adele, "Let's go upstairs first, and check one by one whether there are normal residents in the room. As for the spring water, let's put it aside."

Naturally, Adele didn't have any objections. Anyway, the hotel only has four floors, so it can be resolved in a while.

The two stood in the corridor covered with dark red carpet and looked left and right. A round clock hung on the wall at the end of the corridor, showing the time was 32:[-]pm. Of course, for Adele, this time was not It is of reference significance. Obviously, the time of the two places is different.

The wall is covered with light red wallpaper, which covers the original mirror-like marble wall. It seems to be something made to avoid staring at the reflection. jump straight.

From the gaps in the wallpaper, there are two flower-shaped orange lampshades at regular intervals, exuding a warm glow.The door frame on the outside of the elevator room is covered with a circle of blue marble tiles, and above it is a curved copper indicator like a third of a clock, which seems to move with the movement of the elevator.

"Those guys seem to interfere with electronic equipment, so most of the facilities were urgently replaced with mechanical ones."

Qiaoqiao explained to Adele while knocking on the door of the room closest to them.

Unsurprisingly, no one answered.

Adele was about to step forward to kick the door, but Qiao Qiao held her back.

"They just follow the rules here, we can't break down their doors. According to the rules, you can't go out after 11:30 pm."

"There are still such rules and regulations?"

Adele asked suspiciously.

"Indeed, but now I can't find a similar copy of the employee code, so you just need to follow me, and don't act without authorization, otherwise it is very likely that many people will be harmed."

Qiao Qiao said seriously, "If the other party doesn't answer, it means that they don't need service, or 'they' don't need service. In short, just don't bother."

"OK then……"

Adele nodded in agreement, and the two checked each room.

Diagonally opposite the elevator room is the stairwell with the "EXIT" green safety exit sign, from where you can reach the upper and lower floors.The stairwell, like the room, absorbs sound very well. Even if she detonated the bomb directly in the stairwell, it would be difficult to hear it upstairs.

However, Adele is not in the mood to investigate right now, but just obediently followed Qiaoqiao, listening to her knocking on the door one by one, and asking one by one if anyone needed help.

"No one answered 1008, no one answered 1009..."

Qiao Qiao walked forward slowly while talking to himself.

Looking at Qiao Qiao's figure, Adele always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't remember what went wrong for a while.

"stop!"

Qiao Qiao suddenly shouted in a low voice, and at the same time immediately stopped her footsteps and retreated quickly, and Adele also easily stopped her forward momentum by relying on the assassin's control over her body.

The guest room in front of them, that is, Room 1010, was not locked. Qiaoqiao opened it with a light knock. The part that can be seen from the outside is the same as a normal hotel room, without any abnormality.

Adele and Qiao Qiao were faced with a difficult decision: to enter, or not to enter?

"I'll go in and have a look, you stay here and guard."

Qiao Qiao quickly made a judgment. Although it was dangerous to separate in this situation, her sense of responsibility made her understand that she must not retreat in a similar situation.

Adele wanted to open her mouth to block it, but she restrained this thought, because she couldn't find a better way to replace it for a while.

"and many more!"

The moment Qiao Qiao was about to step into the room, Adele suddenly understood the source of her strange feeling.

The previous orange manual said that when encountering something that only includes numbers, it should be destroyed without hesitation.And the door with only the house number is undoubtedly one of the things that need to be destroyed!

And Qiaoqiao was used to treating the Hilton Hotel as a safe area in her previous life on duty, so she didn't expect to abide by the outside rules here, but handled it according to the hotel rules in her memory. No abnormality was found.

It was obviously too late to pull Qiao Qiao back right now. In desperation, Adele directly used her extraordinary ability, and countless white silk threads rushed out from her body, wrapping Qiao Qiao's body tightly, And the light blue frost also grew rapidly in front of her, forming an impenetrable ice wall.

Her timely response saved Qiao Qiao's life, and almost at the same time, a dark and corrupt figure rushed out of the room and rushed towards Qiao Qiao who was walking in the front with lightning speed.

The black liquid on its body exudes an ominous aura. Even if it was just a glimpse, Adele immediately felt that the undigested potion in her body was agitating. If she continued to look at it, it was very likely to cause loss of control or collapse. Look away.

The opponent's speed is so fast that ordinary people can't react at all, but this time it encountered Adele who has reached the middle sequence, far beyond the scope of ordinary humans.

According to the judgment made by the glance just now, Adele took advantage of the moment when the monster was blocked by the ice wall, and created a black flame in the air, wrapping the monster that was scratching the ice wall frantically.

The monster let out a wailing sound, and the black mucus on its surface quickly evaporated.

However, just when Adele thought she was out of danger, something happened again.

After the black slime mixed with the black fire, a new change took place very quickly. It was no longer in the form of a human being. It disintegrated from the broken human form and turned into a spreading black fireball, which climbed up to Adai in the blink of an eye. The huge ice wall created by Er rushed towards Adele and Qiao Qiao who had just been released.

Can it replicate the properties of objects it touches?
Adele turned pale with fright, but at the moment she couldn't help but think too much, and quickly let the high wall rise again, sealing the climbing black fire inside.

The counterfeit black fire has even learned the point of devouring spirituality, and the spirituality required to maintain the ice wall has soared exponentially, and Adele's face soon broke out in cold sweat.

"run!"

In fact, there is no need to order, even though Qiaoqiao still doesn't understand what Adele's ability is and what it is for, she at least knows that the other party is helping her, and the wall in front of her is already crumbling.

Together with Adele, Qiaoqiao quickly ran upstairs and didn't stop until they reached the other end of the elevator.

If that thing has learned the characteristics of the black fire, it shouldn't be able to spread so far. After all, if it doesn't have so much spirituality to eat it, it is absolutely impossible for the black fire to spread to such a large area.

Moreover, if I'm not wrong, it doesn't seem to have the ability to judge what it should learn and what it should not learn... Just learned the black fire, now it should learn the characteristics of the ice wall.

Sure enough, after the black flame devoured the ice wall, it stopped moving, but remained frozen there, unable to move even if it wanted to.

Of course, the road leading to the other side of the hotel was also blocked, anyway, Adele would not take the risk of letting that thing learn new skills to die.

The elevator stayed on the first floor, and when Adele pressed the switch, the dusty elevator door opened with a bang.

"Let's go, let's go upstairs." Adele was about to walk upstairs when Qiao Qiao's trembling voice came from behind.

"You... who are you?"

Adele sighed heavily.She knew that the most troublesome thing was coming.In this world, the trust between people is on the verge of collapse. How to convince Qiao Qiao, a normal person of that era, to believe that he is such an obvious outlier is really not something that can be explained clearly in a few words.

After thinking about it carefully, Adele put away the revolver and Hidden Blade in her hand, took out the orange booklet from her pocket, and waved it at Qiao Qiao.

Then, under Qiao Qiao's suspicious gaze, she began to recite the contents of the orange manual word by word.

"Human beings are slightly taller than the vehicle and extremely similar to the photo on the title page. Human eyes are never a solid color. Human eyes can only see human beings. There will be no extra organs in the human head. I should not feel any discomfort. My fingers can be crossed with an equal number of sides. My fingernails are never longer than my fingers."

"Humans are precious, lovable, loyal, brave, honorable, united, peaceful, and loving. Humans don't smile all the time, and they don't cry all the time. Humans may be afraid, but they are never light give up."

……

Adele finished reading the last page of the manual in this way, during which Qiao Qiao kept holding the submachine gun at her heart until she finished reading.

"what do you mean?"

Qiao Qiao's voice was hesitant, as if he was still hesitating.

"Think of those astronomers."

Adele handed the orange brochure to Qiao Qiao. "My background is more complicated than you think, and you and I are not in the same world. We don't know whether knowing each other will pollute each other. Even so, do you have to get to the bottom of it?"

Qiao Qiao was stunned for a moment, but said nothing, the arm holding the assault pistol slightly lowered.

"'Where am I from?' 'Who am I?' Let's put aside these questions for now. You just need to know that I am a real person just like you."

Adele stuffed the orange manual into the opponent's hand. "There is still some time, you can slowly summarize the rules for getting along with me. But now, it's time for you to read the last page."
