Chapter 1344 Hengtong Hotel
As expected, the person who answered him was still silent, but Jiang Cheng was sure that the other party must have understood what he said, but for some reason, he could not answer.
No longer hesitating, after Jiang Cheng calmed down, he used his fingers to pull open the curtain and took a good look at the black shadow's true face in Lushan. However, a scene that surprised him appeared. The black shadow actually stretched out his hand. Take action, make the same action as him, and pull the curtain, using just the opposite force to prevent him from opening the curtain.
Obviously, the black shadow did not want to be exposed in front of him. Jiang Cheng simply thought that this might be due to some kind of restriction. The black shadow could not be seen in its true form, otherwise it would disappear.
Jiang Cheng experienced similar scenes three times not long ago. Every time he wanted to confirm the existence of the black shadow again, the other party would mysteriously disappear.
Under the cover of the sound of water, Jiang Cheng changed his mind and asked the doubts in his heart: "I know you have your concerns. In this case, let's change the way. You don't need to speak. I will ask the questions and you will answer. If I say If it’s right, you nod, if not, you shake your head.”
“You are Wu, right?”
Time was running out. Jiang Cheng came up and wanted to confirm this most important question. He stared at the black shadow through the translucent shower curtain, but he didn’t know Why, the other party was like a piece of wood, motionless and without any response.
Slowly, the excitement in Jiang Cheng's heart seemed to be extinguished by a basin of ice water. It seemed that there was something wrong with his speculation. If the black shadow was not nothing, then things would be dangerous.
He was almost face to face with the other party now. The other party did not attack him. Maybe it was not out of kindness, but it was not the time to kill him yet, or... he was still useful to him.
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but take two steps back and distance himself from the black shadow.
"Squeak——"
A strange friction sound came from behind the shower curtain. The sound was not loud, but it was very uncomfortable, just like sharp nails rubbing against a blackboard. sound.
And this is just the beginning.
“Squeak——”
"Squeak——"
There were three voices in total. At this moment, Jiang Cheng had already retreated behind the door, planning to open the door and rush out at any time. The fat man outside seemed to have noticed something was wrong, and actually stopped shooting. The door became quiet. Jiang Cheng quickly turned his head and glanced at the door, guessing that the fat man was moving reinforcements.
In less than a second, when Jiang Cheng turned his head and looked at the bathroom again, there was nothing behind the shower curtain, and the black shadow disappeared silently again.
Jiang Cheng didn’t know where he got the courage. Instead of running out at the first moment, he stepped forward and slowly opened the shower curtain. The next second, his eyes focused on one place. After that, his pupils suddenly narrowed.
On the relatively smooth ceramic outer wall of the bathtub, three sharp scratches suddenly appeared. Just imagining the sharp and sinister nails of the ghost hand behind the shower curtain makes people shudder.
If such nails were to scratch a person's body, it would be easy to open the intestines and rupture the abdomen.
But these are not important to Jiang Cheng. What he wants to find out most now is the identity of the other party. Originally he thought that the other party would be Wu, but now he is shaken. If it is Wu, he Why didn't he want to admit his identity? Also, in his impression, it was inevitable that he would have such sharp nails.
Staring at the three scratches, Jiang Cheng fell into confusion again. He did not believe that the other party appeared several times just to scare him. The other party must have its purpose.
"Knock-"
Jiang Cheng was highly alert, his ears moved, and he heard a very soft sound, like a door being opened, which was naturally not the bathroom door. That should be the door.
The door to their room... was opened quietly.
Before Jiang Cheng could react, the next second, the bathroom door was kicked open violently. Jiang Cheng couldn't dodge and was hit by the door. He staggered and almost fell on the toilet.
A figure broke through the dim light and rushed in. He picked up Jiang Cheng and threw him out. Jiang Cheng's head was buzzing in the air, but fortunately a pair of thick arms caught him. he.
"Doctor, how are you?" The fat man's eyes widened and he looked wary, "What happened in the bathroom? Are you controlled by a ghost?"
Wait until the pupils recover. Focusing, Jiang Cheng saw Fatty's big face and No. 13, who was leaning closely in front of Fatty on guard.
No. 13 is facing the bathroom, and a figure in the bathroom is checking, it is No. 2.
Jiang Cheng could probably guess that after the fat man realized that he was in danger in the bathroom, he did not act rashly, but immediately notified No. 2 and No. 13 next door, and then the next scene happened.
About 2 minutes later, No. 2 walked out of the bathroom, frowning slightly, looking at Jiang Cheng with a strange look, "What happened to you?"
"You didn't look. "Arrived?" Jiang Cheng also felt strange.
No. 2’s eyes were alert, “What do you see?”
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng immediately walked towards the bathroom, with No. 2 following closely behind him. However, after entering, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but frown. The three terrifying scratches originally carved on the bathtub were all gone. The bathtub was clean like new.
No. 13 stood outside the bathroom door, stretching his head to look without squeezing in. After a moment, he seemed to understand something, and suddenly asked: "Zero, didn't you see something weird again? ”
Jiang Cheng thought to himself that this was nonsense, but this time, he did not explain it to them in detail. He just mentioned that a black shadow appeared behind the shower curtain.
The fat man even told No. 2 and No. 13 about the knock on the door before. The two people frowned. No. 2 said with certainty that he had not slept the whole time, and he had not slept. No sound is heard.
"To be able to escape No. 2's perception, the other party is by no means an ordinary person. It is very possible...very likely..."
No. 13 nervously glanced out the window. Everyone knew that it was in the direction of Xixieming Mountain. What No. 13 meant was that those ghosts must have followed them from the mountains, and their target was very clear, which was Jiangcheng.
This kind of thing happened one after another. No. 2 and No. 13, especially Fatty, were deeply worried about Jiang Cheng. No. 13 suggested that he and No. 2 could move in with them, but Fatty did not agree immediately. , but looked at Jiang Cheng with questioning eyes, but this seemingly reasonable plan was rejected by Jiang Cheng. The reason he gave was that he did not want to implicate everyone.
No. 2 and No. 13 understood Jiang Cheng’s subtext by looking at their expressions, so they did not make things difficult for him. Instead, they took a step back and hoped to change rooms with them, although it might not be useful.
This time, Jiang Cheng agreed.
Moving to the next room, I saw several empty wine bottles beside the bed and on the table. It was obvious that No. 2 and the others were too stressed and could not fall asleep without drinking some wine.
"Doctor, are you okay?" The fat man asked worriedly: "Maybe you should really listen to them. It's safer for the four of us to live together."
At this point, the fat man suddenly paused, and then He quickly reacted and looked at Jiang Cheng in surprise, "Doctor, you don't doubt that they are also..."
When Jiang Cheng made a stop gesture to him, the fat man immediately shut up and looked towards door, showing a vigilant look.
"Probably not, but there is nothing wrong with being careful in everything." Jiang Cheng reminded.
As if he was worried that something strange would happen again, Fatty sat with Jiang Cheng for a long time. Finally, Jiang Cheng asked Fatty to lie down first and chat with him on the bed. As expected, Fatty lived up to his expectations. He just lay down within 5 minutes. He fell asleep, and his constant snoring made Jiang Cheng, who was worried, envious.
Whenever he closed his eyes, there was a mysterious black shadow in his mind. Jiang Cheng forced himself to calm down. He had to rest because according to the arrangement of "Luoyun Mountain", they would have to enter the mountain after dawn tomorrow.
Although the mountains must be full of ambushes, their way of survival may also be hidden.
As he thought about it, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, Jiang Cheng tilted his head and fell into sleep.
Perhaps he was too preoccupied, so he did not sleep peacefully and had a strange dream. In the dream, he opened his eyes and found that he was lying on a bed. But the strange thing was that besides The bed under him seemed to be blurred, and the entire room was covered with a layer of fog. He tried his best to see his surroundings clearly, but he couldn't.
He lowered his head and looked at the bed he was sleeping on. The sheets were white and a little rough to the touch. They had been washed many times. The facilities here were very old.
He stared at the sheets, and suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of familiarity, but before he could react, something seemed to be moving, the surrounding fog was stirred, and slowly, a figure slowly appeared.
What's worse is that his body seems to be frozen, he can hardly move, and he can't run away even if he wants to. His scalp is numb, and he can only watch the figure approaching.
The figure's face could not be seen clearly, like a ghost, and everything was strange. Under Jiang Cheng's eyes, which was about to collapse, the figure stretched out its fingers and moved in mid-air.
For a moment.
Two times.
Three times!
As soon as his pupils moved, Jiang Cheng instantly remembered that the other party drew three lines in mid-air, just like...just like the three scratches he saw on the bathtub!
This is the elusive black shadow!
The other party... The other party didn't know what method he used to invade his dream, and... and it was such a weird dream.
The next scene was weird and crazy. More and more scratches appeared on his bed, pillows, and even clothes. They were all three neat scratches. This seemed to be a This paranoid power repeatedly wanders between reality and dreams, distorting the boundaries between the two.
Finally, with Jiang Cheng's unremitting efforts, he finally regained control of this body. He jumped up from the bed, and then rushed into the mist, away from the black shadow.
In the mist, he knocked open a door and then groped forward. There were cold walls on both sides. He seemed to be in a long and narrow passage. He stumbled forward and finally found the stairs. , ran down quickly, descended two floors in a row, found a door, and finally rushed out.
After running far away, he dared to look back. There was still endless mist behind him, but this time, the mist changed. A gust of wind came, dispersing the mist slightly. Gradually, the fog was exposed. built a building.
It is a two-story building. It is not very big, but there is still a good part hidden in the fog, but it feels very oppressive, like a dormant giant beast that can come alive at any time. Come here and show its fangs.
And there was a figure standing on the two-story building.
The figure seemed to know that Jiang Cheng had seen it, and what he did next made Jiang Cheng's hair stand on end. The figure stiffly raised his hand and drew three horizontal scratches in mid-air.
This is it again...
Jiang Cheng has no idea what the other party is trying to do. He is almost driven crazy by this mysterious and religious move. He even hopes that the other party will jump out openly. , have a fight with yourself.
As the fog gradually dissipated, Jiang Cheng finally saw clearly that the building the figure was stepping on was a dilapidated hotel.
The words Hengtong Hotel are faintly visible on the old-fashioned plaque in front of the door.
It was the hotel where my group stayed when they first arrived in town!
The next second, Jiang Cheng suddenly woke up. He sat up and kept breathing heavily. It was not yet dawn, and it was still dark outside the window. Fortunately, the lights in the room were still dimly on.
The dream just now was so real, it didn’t seem like a real dream, and there was the Hengtong Hotel. The mysterious man was standing on the Hengtong Hotel and drew three traces with his hand.
Jiang Cheng is now unsure of what happened to him.
He took the half glass of wine from the bedside table and poured the cold wine into his throat. Jiang Cheng calmed down briefly, but before he could calm down, what he saw out of the corner of his eye made his whole body tremble. , he saw three scratches close together on the wine glass in his hand, which were very conspicuous.
That was definitely not just a dream. The other party must be telling me something, something very important, and it was related to Hengtong Hotel.
After daybreak, Jiang Cheng plans to go to Hengtong Hotel to take a look. Although there may be a trap there, and the other party intends to lure him there, at this moment, Jiang Cheng can no longer care about so much.
He was sure that the black shadow was the breakthrough point in this incident, and following "Luo Yunshan" and others in the mountains would only make them sink deeper and deeper. It would be better for him to be alone, Fatty, and 2 No. 13, their life safety cannot be guaranteed at all.
Of course, the premise of all this is that they have no problem.
Staring at the fat man's sleeping cheek, Jiang Cheng thought it was natural at first, but after looking at it for a long time, he suddenly felt an indescribable feeling, like a person writing his name repeatedly, and at the end, It feels more and more strange.
He was the same now. He noticed a rare strangeness in the fat man.
This feeling came suddenly and was scary. Jiang Cheng forced himself to look away and calm down first. He turned on his phone and found the recorded video of the shadow man. He planned to study it again to see if he had ignored it. place.
At the beginning of the video, a black shadow appeared behind the curtain, and then the screen kept shaking. Jiang Cheng knew that this was because he was adjusting the angle, but suddenly, Jiang Cheng's eyes froze.
The next second, Jiang Cheng's breathing became rapid. He repeatedly pulled the progress bar, then paused, and then continued the process until the final screen paused for a moment.
Because the camera is swinging, the picture is blurry, but you can still vaguely see a fat figure lying on the bed at the edge of the picture, with only one white eye and a livid face staring in the direction of the camera. (End of chapter)
