Chapter 2808 Phantom Haunted Room (VIII)

Chapter 2782 Phantom Haunted Room (VIII)

After receiving this news, Schiller went to the bathroom of his room without stopping. He knew that the toilet was broken before, but he didn't have time to fix it. However, Peter found an alarm clock in the water tank of the toilet in Room 1903, which means that the toilet was probably not broken accidentally.

Schiller used a knife to pry open the connection of the toilet tank cover. After taking the cover off, he didn't find anything abnormal in the water tank. Then he went back to the bedroom to get the alarm clock, hesitating whether to throw it in.

There are two possibilities for throwing it in now. Either there is indeed an abnormality in the toilet, and the alarm will ring directly, which is very likely to attract the unknown monster with the sound, or there is no problem with the toilet, but the alarm clock is the problem. After the alarm clock is thrown in, it simply doesn't ring, and Schiller's room will not make any sound tonight.

The resident of Room 1903 said that the elevator-like sound was similar to the dormitory manager's room inspection. Only when the alarm clock in your room rings does it mean that there is someone in the room, and no supernatural phenomena will occur.

So Schiller threw the alarm clock into the water tank. If it doesn't ring tonight, and what the short man said is true, maybe the strange monster will come in, or some other supernatural phenomena will appear in the room.

While Schiller was thinking, Peter suddenly sent a message, saying, "I heard a sound, that person may be back."

"Hide." Schiller said, "Go to the bedroom and hide in the closet. He can't go out only once today. He must go to dinner."

Peter did it as quickly as possible. He rushed into the bedroom, opened the closet door and walked in. The next second, the door outside the living room was opened.

This is not a movie. If Peter can see the short man through the gap in the closet, then the short man can definitely see him, so he didn't even think about who came in. But Peter was very smart. He made a video call and shared his vision and hearing with Dr. Sosip.

Schiller listened carefully on the other end of the phone, and then realized that something was wrong. It was not the short man who came in, because Peter had shared his vision and hearing with him before. Schiller remembered the short man's footsteps, which were not like this.

It was Jerome who came in. Schiller guessed that this guy went out in the middle of the night and didn't know what he was doing. Assuming that the hotel over there was relatively normal, it was possible that Jerome took advantage of the night to do some petty theft and get a door card.

But why did he go into room 1903?

Jerome was also looking for something in the room.

He was about to find the bathroom, and Peter said nervously: "I don't have time to clean up, the lid of the water tank is still open, he must realize that someone..."

"But he may not realize that it is someone else." Schiller said very calmly. Although the situation is very tense now, Peter is unarmed, and Jerome is coming aggressively. Schiller doesn't believe that he doesn't have a gun. Once the two meet, Peter may suffer a big loss.

But he still calmly analyzed: "You are a complete variable. He is more likely to think that the person living in room 1903 realized that someone was following him, so he hid something in advance. This is a more reasonable explanation."

"But he smiled at me yesterday."

"He may not be smiling at you." Schiller said: "Maybe he was just smiling at the guest in room 1905. He hasn't really seen you."

Peter's heart settled a little, but his heartbeat was still fast, because Jerome had rushed into the bathroom. He obviously found the abnormality of the water tank. He must be looking for something.

Peter lowered his head and looked at the alarm clock in his hand. Is this the key? If he couldn't find it in the bathroom, would he open the closet?

Jerome came out of the bathroom, and his footsteps were getting closer and closer. Obviously, he didn't find anything in the bathroom, so he planned to search the bedroom thoroughly.

"What should I do, Doctor?" Peter is worthy of being Spider-Man. At this point, he was not nervous or afraid. He completely contracted his muscles and prepared to give the person who opened the door a fatal blow.

But at this moment, another footstep came from the door. This time it was the resident of 1903.

Peter heard very clearly that the person outside the closet took a breath of cold air. With a creak, the closet door opened and a dark shadow rushed in.

Jerome and Peter stared at each other in the closet.

Spider-Man always seems to have some bad fate with the Joker, and this bad fate always works at some bad times. At this time, Peter and Jerome were both shocked, and both of them swallowed their voices when they were surprised.

It was really a coincidence that the two thieves successfully met in the closet, but because of the current situation, they could neither fight nor communicate with each other.

The hotel room was not very big, so it was useless to lower the voice, so neither of them could talk now.

Jerome saw the alarm clock in Peter's hand at first sight. He seemed a little surprised and raised his eyebrows at Peter.

Peter quickly reacted. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and shook it towards Jerome. Jerome also took out his mobile phone, but the two people's mobile phones were obviously not products of the same era.

Peter used the most advanced communicator distributed by the Spider Army, a small hexagonal projector, and Jerome was holding a flip phone that looked very cheap at first glance, which was very suitable for the era he was in now.

Peter operated the projector for a few times and a string of numbers appeared, which was obviously his mobile phone number. He waited for a while, and sure enough, a message came.

"Who are you? How come you are here?"

After finding that he could communicate, Peter did not rush to reply, but immediately told Schiller everything. After finding that he could communicate with Jerome, Schiller did not hide it anymore, and asked bluntly.

"What's the matter with this hotel?"

"It seems that you have found out." Jerome replied: "There is a big problem with this hotel, but I am investigating what the specific problem is."

"You can't fool me." Schiller asked Peter to reply to Jerome, ruthlessly exposing his coping and said: "You didn't lie, you just blurred some facts, but I must have clues that you are interested in here, how about you and I?"

Jerome seemed to be shocked by the other party's straightforwardness again. He looked up at Peter and squinted his eyes, always feeling that the boy in front of him was not someone who could say these words.

But he still nodded. There were not many opportunities to communicate, so Schiller did not delay any longer and asked Peter to send the first question, "What's wrong with the person in room 1903?".

"He is contaminated." Jerome replied, and as if to show his sincerity, he added, "He was corrupted by the evil god."

Schiller remembered his previous speculation. If Peter's time point was before his, then Jerome might have discovered the abnormality of the hotel and came to investigate. At the time he investigated, some people were contaminated, but not seriously, and they might not know it themselves.

At his time point, all the abnormalities broke out, so it became so terrifying and weird.

Jerome quickly asked his question, "Are you in another hotel?"

Obviously, he found that he was not communicating with the young man in front of him, and he might have encountered similar abnormalities.

Schiller did not intend to hide it from him, but said: "Yes, I am in another hotel."

"Which room are you in?"

"Sorry, but it's my turn now. What's the use of the alarm clock?"

"To respond to a certain existence." Jerome said: "You can think of it as a detector, start, detect, and respond."

"Detect what?"

"I'm sorry too, it's my turn now, which room are you staying in?"

"1905." Schiller did not choose to lie. He guessed that Jerome knew this place very well, so if he said another room number, the other party might have a way to confirm it.

The other end of the communication was silent for a long time, completely longer than it should be, which made Schiller sure that there must be something special in room 1905.

"You can only wish for the best." Jerome said: "No one can leave that room alive, even if they die."

"It's my turn. What does the alarm clock detect?"

"Pollution." Jerome's answer was concise and to the point.

Schiller had actually guessed it a long time ago, and when Jerome said it, he was more certain. To some extent, the person in room 1903 was not wrong. It was just that the alarm would not ring if there were living people in the room, but that the alarm would ring if the people in the room were not contaminated.

If the alarm did not ring, it meant that the people in this room were contaminated, and then that terrifying existence might directly wipe out everything in the room without the ringing sound, and even the hotel itself might expel those things.

This is a defense mechanism, Schiller thought, and it might be common in the entire hotel, activated at midnight every night to eliminate all dangers.

But the only problem is that the bells rang in the odd-numbered rooms, but the person in room 1901 had already taken the lead, and the person in room 1903 could only hear his voice but not see his legs. Can these two be considered living people who were not contaminated?

Then Schiller thought that the detection of pollution might not be to detect whether there is pollution, but to detect the depth of pollution. Although the two people in rooms 1901 and 1903 are a bit strange, they seem to be able to communicate, so they may be able to avoid judgment.

The alarm clock in room 1900 also rang, which proves that there are people in that room. So it is possible that the people in room 1900 deliberately changed the house number. Together with 1901, 1903 and Schiller himself, there are exactly four living people in the corridor on the right, and the bell rang four times.

The corridor on the left rang twice, proving that there may be two living people in it, but why does the number of living people just match the odd-numbered rooms? Can you only survive in an odd-numbered room?

Schiller was not sure, but he did not ask this question. Instead, he asked another question: "How to leave the 19th floor?"

"You can't leave the hotel you are in." Jerome replied very quickly, and even explained in detail, "Once the number of ringtones is less than 10, you can never leave this floor."

It was indeed some kind of detection mechanism. Schiller thought that something in the hotel was eliminating the supernatural, and he even had a big picture view. Once the number of living people was less than a certain number, it would be completely closed, so as to minimize the danger.

And Jerome asked a question that Schiller did not expect, "Can you communicate with this silly boy in front of me in real time?"
