I'm stuck in a horror game for 100 years

Chapter 163 Harmony Hotel ([-])

"That person was the manager of the Harmony Hotel just now? Why do I feel that he is weird?" After the elevator door closed, Tao Wen glanced at Jiang Tong suspiciously.

And when the manager came over just now, the Forgotten Man's expression was obviously not right, and he pulled himself away quickly as soon as the conversation changed.

Fortunately, the female receptionist seemed to have lost her memory, maybe it was a special method of the Forsaken. When the shadow-like ghost ability emerged just now, she felt a sense of danger.

So Tao Wen is not very worried.

Quite a pair of heaven has fallen and there is a tall man standing on it.

"Yes, and not only that."

Jiang Tong frowned, and took out the newspaper from the rest area from the inventory.

Tao Wen leaned closer and stood on tiptoe, and asked puzzledly, "What's more than that?"

Could it be that Jiang Tong had dealt with this strange manager before?

"I suspect that this manager may be related to the ghost in the sewer, or that he is the ghost in the sewer!"

Jiang Tong stared intently at the newspaper in his hand.

But Tao Wen, who heard these words, was not calm.

The hall manager is the ghost of the sewer?
how can that be!

That's the guy who dragged away the burnt ghost!
"How did you find out? Did you discover details that I didn't notice?"

It's not that Tao Wen doesn't believe in the Forsaken, but she wants to know how this man found out after just a short meeting.

"It's nothing special. It's just that the manager's shoes are stained with a little burnt substance, but it's too little, and the burnt smell is also covered up by the ghost smell on it."

"You also know that my ghost ability is biased towards perception, so I can find it."

Jiang Tong smiled, still skipping the ability of the blood shadow, and then continued to look down at the news in the newspaper, trying to find more clues between the lines.

"The scorched black substance on the shoes?"

"In such a short time, have you observed this detail?"

Seeing the Forsaken who was still staring at the newspaper in front of her, Tao Wen took a step back.

As for the faint burnt smell, she was more inclined to be a lie told by the Forsaken in order to cover up the power of her ghostly perception.

She passed by the same way as him, but she didn't smell it at all.

What a scary guy!

Staring at Jiang Tong.

Tao Wen's body couldn't help but feel a little numb.

What kind of guy is this man? He doesn't change his face in front of the ghosts, and he can even talk to and even bargain with ghosts from all walks of life.

She had only seen this kind of plot in fantasy novels.

However, Jiang Tong's attention was all on the newspaper at this time.

The entire newspaper had scuff marks, and many writings and pictures on it were unclear.

There is only a news report in the lower right corner, which is clear.

"A fire broke out on the [-]th floor of the Harmony Hotel. The fire killed a male resident and injured several residents. However, the body of the dead resident has not been found. The person in charge of the hotel has been brought under the control of the Thriller City Management Department."

"According to a person familiar with the matter, the fire originated from the interior of room 1906. The person in the know witnessed a blue flame emanating from the floor and devoured the occupants of the room in an instant."

"The interviewer learned from the insider that this was a premeditated and purposeful arson. It was only because of special reasons that the insider could not disclose more, nor could he reveal his true identity."

"In addition, the source of the fire is still under investigation, please continue to pay attention to the follow-up reports of this station."

The text ends here, and the general content is about the fire that burned the 1906 households to death.

"Is this the reason for the formation of the burned ghosts?"

"Someone deliberately set the fire on purpose."

Jiang Tong was thoughtful.

If there is a fire on the floor, then the source of the fire is probably downstairs.

The blue fire, which can burn ghosts to death, is obviously not an ordinary fire, and there is nothing strange about passing through the floors.

So in any case, you have to go to the 18th floor to know the answer.

But could this insider be the middle-aged uncle who left behind the newspaper?
At this time, Tao Wen leaned over again.

"I seem to have seen this newspaper somewhere... Isn't this the newspaper that the middle-aged uncle read in the rest area yesterday!?"

"It turned out to be a report about the fire of burning dead ghosts?"

The more Tao Wen read the newspaper, the more familiar she became, and then she remembered what happened when she entered the door yesterday, and she was even more surprised when she saw the contents of the newspaper.

It turned out to be about the supernatural event she experienced with the Forsaken last night.

"Could it be that the middle-aged uncle is also related to this matter?"

Jiang Tong nodded slightly.

"Perhaps the insider is him, maybe."

Jiang Tong turned the newspaper over.

A piece of news came into view.

"Many people have reported that there has recently been abduction and trafficking of little ghosts in the city of horror, which seriously violates the rules of the city of horror! These lawless ghosts are organized and disciplined, and they commit crimes in groups. I hope that the residents of the city of horror will Any clues can be provided directly to the Horror City Authority!"

"If there are important clues, the City of Thriller Administration will give a big reward."

This news report is very short, and the time shown is earlier than the arson case of the Harmony Hotel.

Jiang Tong couldn't help thinking of the child and the woman who dropped the doll.

Tao Wen is getting more and more strange.

The second news had nothing to do with this incident at all, but Jiang Tong didn't speak, and she couldn't ask any questions.

And the smallest corner on the opposite side.

Jiang Tong suddenly saw the familiar words again.

Harmony Hotel!
"In order to avoid the traitor, a coward accidentally fell to his death outside the escape passage of the hotel! The traitor and the hotel were compensated for [-] ghost spirits!"

At first glance, it was gossip news, so it was placed in the smallest corner of the newspaper, and there were various small advertisements for treating infertility and asking for a child with a lot of money.

The content is unsightly.

Except for these three places where the content can be read clearly, the rest of the text on the newspaper is extremely blurred, and nothing can be read.

"I'll go, does this city of horror also have such advertisements and bloody plots? This is... too exciting."

Tao Wen also saw the third piece of news, as if she had discovered some amazing new world.

The heart of the woman's gossip immediately ignited.

And right now.

The elevator just reached the seventeenth floor.

Without stopping, Jiang Tong put away the newspaper and walked out, Tao Wen also followed immediately, she didn't dare to stay in the elevator alone.

The fire exit is diagonally opposite the elevator entrance, separated by a solid fire door.

Jiang Tong had never paid attention to it before.

Knowing that there might have been a fire upstairs, he went straight to the door.

Except for some dust, there was no trace of burnt on the door.

"It seems that the seventeenth floor has nothing to do with the burnt ghost. The refuge floor should be the stairs behind the door to go up." Seeing this, Tao Wen whispered.

But his eyes kept glancing towards the corridor on the seventeenth floor.

Last night Jiang Tong told her that when he came to the seventeenth floor for the first time, he met a female ghost stuck on the door of his room.

Even confronted him.

It's just that one day and one night passed, and the female ghost never came back.

"Let's go."

Opening the door, Jiang Tong beckoned Tao Wen to follow, no matter what, they had to go to this hidden refuge floor.

Tao Wen also nodded and walked in.

The reason why the Harmony Hotel is dark during the day is because the entire building is made of opaque glass.

It also seems to cater to the preferences of the residents of Thriller City.

So the fire escape stairs were also very dark. As soon as Tao Wen came in, she couldn't see anything in front of her eyes. She slightly raised her hand until it touched Jiang Tong's back, and then she stabilized a little.

"What's wrong, Forsaken?"

Seeing Jiang Tong standing in front of him without moving, Tao Wen asked while adapting to the darkness in the stairs.

But the Forsaken in front just stretched out his hands, as if he was touching something.

Then talk to yourself in a slightly questioning tone.

"Why is it like this?"

At this time, Tao Wen felt as if a cat was scratching, she was very curious.

Rubbing his eyes quickly, as if this would help him adapt to the dark more quickly.

After about a few seconds.

Tao Wen can barely see things.

However, what stood in front of her and Jiang Tong was a solid wall, and Jiang Tong's palm was slightly scarlet, and he was stroking it.

On the other side of the wall, there are stairs extending down.

It looks like the stairs of the fire escape, and it is broken directly here.

"how so!?"

Tao Wen also asked exactly the same question.

Following Jiang Tong's hand gestures, he touched the wall up and down.

But did not feel any abnormality.

Then turned around and asked.

"Did you feel anything?"

Jiang Tong turned his head, looked at Tao Wen, and asked curiously.

"You touched for a long time, you ask me?"

Tao Wen was speechless for a while, and put her hand down.

"Aren't I going to learn your operation technique and see if I can improve it a step further, such as controlling the ability of ghosts?"

"and then?"

"Then I found out that it's useless." Tao Wen said very seriously.

Jiang Tong shook his head angrily.

I really didn't feel anything special on this wall, it was pure reinforced concrete, and it was extremely thick, at least he couldn't blow it away.

"Nothing abnormal, the stairs are broken here, let's go."

After speaking, Jiang Tong took the lead to go downstairs.

He wanted to confirm whether it was the sixteenth floor or the seventeenth floor.

After all, it is a weird hotel, if going down is going up, it is not impossible.

Following Jiang Tong's departure, Tao Wen suddenly felt a coldness constantly invading, and she immediately followed.

"Why do we go down? Don't we go to the eighteenth floor?"

Looking at the mildew spots on the stairs due to the lack of sunlight all year round, Tao Wen questioned with some incomprehension.

"It's still early, let's look down first and make sure it's the sixteenth floor, and it won't be too late for us to go back."

Tao Wen was stunned.

The words of the Forsaken imply another meaning, that is, he suspects that it is possible that the eighteenth floor is below.

After all, this is a horror game, and some things still cannot be understood with common sense.

Following the Forsaken, looking at this man's back, Tao Wen felt more and more that this man was too reliable.

Powerful, clear-headed, logical, and calm in times of crisis.

"What's his real name?"

This question gradually magnified in Tao Wen's mind.

In fact, even Tao Wen herself didn't realize that she had gradually become dependent on Jiang Tong after spending more and more time together.

In the silent corridor exuding a mild musty smell, the light footsteps of the two echoed.

"Squeak..."

It wasn't until the isolation door of the fire escape on the sixteenth floor was pushed open that Jiang Tong sighed slightly.

The following is not eighteen floors.

"Go, go to the nineteenth floor to have a look."

Tao Wen has no comments.

Then the two rushed to the nineteenth floor.

Oddly enough.

The fire exit on the [-]th floor is similar to that on the [-]th floor, the difference is that the wall blocks the downward direction, and the stairs lead upward.

"There's no reason. Room 1906 is sealed. It's impossible for this refuge floor to be sealed. Even if there is a fire, it must be maintained."

"Unfortunately, when I asked the female receptionist at that time, I almost asked how to get to the [-]th floor of refuge."

"It's impossible to be behind this wall, right? Do you want to smash it open? If there is nothing inside after smashing it open, you will have to compensate the hotel and it will be over."

This result made Tao Wen a little discouraged, leaning against the door frame and talking.

Jiang Tong was still touching the wall.

The nineteenth floor here is the same as the seventeenth floor downstairs.

But only these two layers are disconnected.

The seventeenth floor is connected by stairs, and the same is true for the nineteenth floor.

So the problem must be here.

The two left the fire escape, and Jiang Tong walked back and forth at the elevator entrance, thinking about where the entrance to this refuge floor was.

The newspaper will not be discovered by myself for no reason. Will there be clues in the news about the fire?
Jiang Tong unconsciously dug it out from memory, and then chewed it repeatedly.

Seeing the Forsaken back and forth in front of her eyes, the discouraged Tao Wen muttered.

"Oh, it's a waste of time, and I don't know where this refuge floor is hidden."

"Could it be in a certain room? It's most likely 1906, but we've searched carefully, and there's nothing unusual, weird."

"Hey, Forsaken, tell me, is the plot of catching rape in that newspaper true? Do ghosts also do this kind of operation? I really want to see it."

"Would it be possible that we will also encounter such a bloody drama in the following supernatural events..."

Tao Wen's words gradually faded away from Jiang Tong's ears.

Only the word catching rape is left.

"Catch rape, catch rape..."

"I know! It's rape! That's right! It's rape!"

Jiang Tong suddenly seemed to remember something, and called out all of a sudden.

It directly shocked Tao Wen who was sitting on the ground!
Looking blankly at the excited Jiang Tong in front of him, he asked puzzledly.

"What catch? Forsaken, you are also interested in gossip?"

"Pfft... no!"

Jiang Tong was taken aback by Tao Wen's rhetorical question, then laughed out loud and took out the newspaper again.

"No, it's news about catching rape!"

"News? What's the matter? The news is related to the refuge floor?" Tao Wen became more and more puzzled, and took the newspaper from Jiang Tong.

Re-read the news about the rape.

With Jiang Tong's reminder in front, this time, several words were directly extracted by Tao Wen.

There was a gleam in her eyes.

Look at Jiang Tong.

The two spoke in unison.

"escape route!"
