saying, “It is highly probable that they are gone.”
Hei Cha suggested, “Let’s confirm it first. What if they can be rescued?”
Even after experiencing an instance of death, Hei Cha still felt awe toward life as a newcomer.
“I’ll smash open the door.” Hei Cha took a step back. He was about to raise his leg toward the door
but Chi Nan stopped him.
“No need.”
“What?”
Chi Nan stopped the staff member standing at the end of the corridor. “Excuse me, can you help us
open the door of 310?”
The staff member nodded stiffly. “No problem. Please wait a moment.”
Then he headed toward 310 with the key.
Hei Cha murmured, “…Oh.”
Half a minute later, the door opened.
The light of the setting sun slanted over the room. The folds of the bedding on one of the beds
indicated that someone had indeed slept there last night.
There was no one in the room but the sound of water came from the bathroom.
It seemed like someone forgot to turn off the water and water overflowed from the bathtub…
Chi Nan looked in the direction of the bathroom. There was a large pool of water coming out from
behind the closed door.
Everyone had a guess in their hearts.
Ah Yu of the triplets had just drowned in the bathroom yesterday. The couple would’ve never taken a
bath in the bathroom so there was only one possibility.
Ye Chang and Hei Cha were the first to enter the bathroom, followed by Chi Nan.
The group gasped the moment the door opened.
The bathtub was full of water, causing it to overflow and cover the white tiles. Many black and long
strands of hair floated in the water, mixing together with the blood-red light of the sunset.
The bathtub could only accommodate one person but there were two bodies floating. Their limbs
were tightly intertwined together like twin babies still in their mother’s womb. They floated and
never gave up their liquid environment.
It was the young couple… they both drowned in the bathtub like they died for love.
It seemed that the consequences of breaking the rule of changing rooms was to repeat the death of
the last tenant. The woman with a big chest looked out the window, impatiently took out a cigarette
and bit it. “So this little couple is… troublesome. One of them could’ve survived. Now…”
She shrugged and lowered her head to hide the gloominess in her eyes.
“Let’s go to 301 again.”
The atmosphere was somber and no one wanted to stare at the bodies of the lovers in the bathtub
for too long.
Hei Cha made a praying gesture while Chi Nan lowered his eyes. Only Ye Chang’s eyes were hidden
behind the reflective lens and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.
The group had just arrived at 301 when they saw the white stretcher carrying the body outside it.
The staff member saw them coming and bowed politely. “Good morning, guests.”
Everyone, “……”
“Can I trouble you to open the door of 301 for me again? Thank you,” Chi Nan said.
The staff member nodded respectfully. “Yes, Sir. Please wait a moment.”
The middle-aged man suddenly said, “There is no need to be polite to these staff members. They
have no feelings and thoughts. They are just NPCs built from strings of data and will only do things
according to the procedures specified by the dream maker.”
“I know. That’s why I think they are working very hard and probably can’t even sleep,” Chi Nan
replied.
The middle-aged man, “……”
The group of people quickly came to the door of 301. The staff member had just taken out the key to
open the door when there was a click from the room. The door lock twisted counterclockwise and
everyone nervously held their breath.
The lock of the door seemed stuck and it couldn’t be opened.
They weren’t sure if the thing twisting the door was a person or something else, so no one dared to
act rashly.
“Who is inside?” The woman with a big chest asked.
The act of twisting the door handle became more and more irritable. It was followed by a banging on
the door.
“Is it Ah Xue and Ah Qing?” The group outside the door tried to check who was trying to open the
door.
However, there was no sound apart from the dull friction of iron as the door handle was twisted.
“Open the door.” Chi Nan looked at the staff member.
The middle-aged man was in a hurry. “But how do you know what is behind the door?”
“We should be able to handle it no matter what it is.” It was Ye Chang who answered.
The middle-aged man looked at the staff member inserting the key into the hole in a panic. “Don’t
open it. Hey, I told you…!”
The staff member turned a blind eye to it. Perhaps he didn’t like guests who had previously been
rude to him or who were now shouting at him.
There was a click as the door opened.
Ah Qing, the long ponytailed one of the triplets, rushed out and saw the surprised look of everyone
in the corridor. Her legs softened as she fell directly to the ground.
The woman with a big chest looked cold but her actions were quick. She hugged the little girl and
didn’t let her fall. “What happened?”
Ah Qing shivered. It wasn’t known if it was due to the fright or something else but she couldn’t make
a sound. She pointed to the guest room with red eyes and her lips moved silently, as if she was saying
a name.
Ah Xue.
The group rushed into the room but no one was inside. Only the radio on the bedside table was
playing a strange nursery rhyme of hide and seek.
“Where are you? Where are you? Don’t hide. I can hear your breathing. I can hear your heartbeat.
Did you hide in the wardrobe again? The smell of your blood is close at hand. I will find you.”
The group followed the song and looked at the huge wooden wardrobe in the corner of the guest
room.
Knock, knock, knock.
It was like something was knocking on the wardrobe door in a rhythmic manner.
