Chapter 2781 Phantom Chamber (VII)
Interesting, Schiller thought.
He stood in front of the door of Room 1903, listening to the sound coming from inside. He could feel very clearly that the person who was speaking should be standing at the door, just like the man in Room 1901. His nose must be almost touching the door for such a sound to be heard.
But you can't see the feet through the crack in the door, which means that the person in room 1903 also has a problem.
The person in room 1901 hopes that Schiller will open the door for him, while the person in room 1903 asks Schiller not to open the door.
Most people would make a choice between these two rooms, and many would prefer Room 1903 because he does sound like a normal person. However, even if he saw legs and feet through the crack in the door, Schiller would not easily believe the person in Room 1903.
In other words, this person is even less trustworthy than the one in Room 1901, because both he and Peter have seen this person, heard him speak, and found contradictions in him, which is not something an ordinary person can do. It is only a matter of time before such a person has problems.
现在1900、1901、1903和1904房间都出现了线索，那么就只剩下1902号房没有提供任何线索了，席勒又走到了1902号房房门前，他可不信这间房就这么空着。
Schiller first looked up at the door numbers. He had already confirmed when he was tightening the screws before that, except for room 1900, all the door numbers on the right had not been touched. There was only one sign of the screw being tightened in, so the problem should not be on the door numbers.
He couldn't see anything through the crack in the door, and he couldn't turn the doorknob. There was nothing else on the door, so Schiller looked directly through the peephole.
Schiller saw the other eye.
Because the cat's eye has the effect of magnifying and shrinking, it is not very clear, but it can be confirmed that there is an eyeball full of red bloodshot behind the cat's eye.
Boom boom boom!
Schiller knocked hard on the door of Room 1902, which even interrupted the chattering occupant of Room 1903.
There was no response from Room 1902, and when Schiller looked at the peephole again, the eye had disappeared.
Very good, as long as there are clues, Schiller did not plan to explore the corridor on the left for the time being. He returned to his room and began to organize the current clues and planned to connect them together.
He didn't have much time left, because if the elevator couldn't be used, he would not be able to get basic survival supplies. The hotel room was equipped with mineral water and some food, but they could not last more than a week. In other words, if Schiller did not find a way to lift the blockade within 7 days, he would be trapped here and die like an ordinary person.
But he felt that it would not take 7 days, and now he already had some ideas.
Just looking at the corridor on the right, you will feel that there are many and complicated clues, including the hotel building approaching in your peripheral vision, the house number that has been moved, the noise that occurred at midnight, the elevator that stopped strangely, and the neighbors with their own characteristics.
These clues seem to be completely unrelated to each other, but this is normal. Schiller believes that there are many clues that he cannot use at this stage and may only be used after he is able to leave the 19th floor, so these clues should not be taken into consideration.
So which clues are likely to be useless?
Schiller believed that it was everyone except the neighbors.
The hotel building that Yu Guangzhong is approaching may even contain the deepest secret of this hotel, that is, why he and Peter went to two different time and space, or even the current state of the hotel and how the hotel became like this. This kind of clue is not something that can be considered at this stage.
The sound that appeared at midnight sounded exactly like the sound of the elevator moving. It seemed that in order to break through the limit of the 19th floor, this sound must be studied. However, Schiller believed that this was the rule of the entire hotel, not just the 19th floor. In this way, it was useless to crack the special situation of the 19th floor.
The stopped elevator also seems to be an object that must be studied, but just like the sound, the two are very likely to be one and the same. The sound and the elevator come from the same supernatural phenomenon, and they are not only running on the 19th floor, so they can be put aside for the time being.
The moved house numbers belong to the same category as the neighbors, because it is impossible that the elevator changed the house numbers. The one who would do that is either a monster or a living person, so it is not a big problem to classify them as neighbors and study them together.
So the only way to escape from this predicament is to study the paranormal phenomena unique to the 19th floor, that is, these troublesome neighbors.
Schiller now knows of five neighbors.
The first one is the footprints at the door of Room 1904. Since we don’t know who it belongs to, we just call it a footprint.
The second person is the one who stood in front of the door of Room 1901 and kept banging his head against the door. Peter told us that he should be the tall man, but because they were in different time periods, Schiller could not be sure whether the person living in Room 1901 during his time period was the tall man, but he temporarily used this nickname.
The third person was the one who had been talking to Schiller in room 1903. Because Schiller had seen him when he entered the hotel and his voice was the same, Schiller was basically certain that he was the short man that Peter saw.
The fourth is the bloodshot eye in Room 1902 that Schiller finally discovered, which can be called the eye.
The fifth person is the neighbor who is suspected of moving the door number of room 00. He may be one of the four above, or he may be one of the ones in the left corridor.
Among these five beings, the only ones who have connection and intersection are the people in the doors of rooms 1901 and 1903, that is, the tall man and the short man. The tall man seems to have been killed and hopes that Schiller can open the door and let him out, while the short man asks Schiller not to let the tall man out.
The other neighbors were all peaceful, so they were the only couple with conflicts in the right corridor.
Schiller considered himself to be a very fair person, with a sense of justice and willingness to help others. Since there was a conflict between neighbors, he had to mediate, but the mediation process had to be fair, just and open, and he could not favor either side.
Schiller asked Peter in another hotel to find the short man in Room 1903 and find a way to get the door card he was carrying.
Peter had heard Schiller talk about the situation over there early in the morning. After hearing the horrific situation over there, he was shocked and frightened, and expressed his concern to Dr. Soship.
After receiving the doctor's instructions, although Peter didn't want to steal anything, he still went because he also felt that something was wrong with the hotel. If things really deteriorated like what happened to Schiller, he had to prepare as soon as possible.
Peter quickly found the short man and found an excuse to strike up a conversation with him. He sized up the appearance of the gentleman in a suit and tie and guessed where his room card might be.
This is actually not too difficult to guess, because suits do not have so many pockets. Apart from the two pockets on the trousers, there are only decorative pockets on the shirt. Generally, unless you have special hobbies, you will not put things in the decorative pockets, especially things like door cards that can be used at any time.
Then it should be in the trouser pocket. Peter looked carefully again and found that the short man's suit was very new, but the right trouser pocket was slightly larger than the left, as if it had been used frequently recently.
And because he was short and fat, his suit was rather full. As he moved, one could occasionally see a small pointed protrusion at the bottom of his left pocket. That should be the shape of a door card.
After determining the location, Peter had to think about how to get the door card, but the doctor specifically instructed him not to use violence and that it would be best to get the other party's door card without attracting their attention, which was a bit difficult.
Peter didn't have any pickpocket skills, so it was difficult for him to take the door card without anyone noticing. But since he couldn't do it without anyone noticing, the best thing he could do was to prevent the other party from reacting.
Soon the two separated, and it seemed that the shorter one went towards the cafe downstairs. He might be going to discuss business. Peter knew this was a good opportunity. He saw the cafe on his way over, and there were quite a few people there.
The restaurant had more than one elevator leading to the cafe downstairs, so Peter made a quick decision and took another route to the cafe.
There were many people in front of the coffee shop, and the door could be pushed and pulled, so many people would pass by. Peter took this opportunity to bump into a tall man next to him, but took advantage of the other's blind spot to hide next to the shorter man.
Although Peter no longer had the power of a spider, he was still an adult after all. His deliberate collision caused the strong man to stagger and almost knock his front teeth against the glass door.
He turned around suddenly, trying to find out who bumped into him, but at that time everyone was moving in one after another. When he stopped, the people behind him would inevitably bump into him, and the short man was the first victim.
He bumped into the tall man's back, and even more unfortunately, just as he caught up with the man's movement of turning around, his elbow hit his cheekbone.
Peter saw the opportunity and pretended to go in, squeezing next to the short man. The short man screamed in pain after being hit by the elbow and fell backwards. Peter took the opportunity to support him and put his hand into his trouser pocket.
After touching a hard card, Peter decided to stop and put the room card into his trouser pocket. He was wearing sportswear and his trouser pockets were loose, so nothing could be seen.
"Oh my God, sir, are you okay?" Peter quickly helped the short man up. The tall man didn't mean to hit anyone, but when he realized he had accidentally bumped into someone, he quickly turned around and apologized.
The two men caused a chaos at the door, but fortunately it was quickly resolved. The shorter one seemed to be in a hurry to talk about business. He rubbed his face, waved his hand, said nothing, pushed open the door and went in.
Peter also went in, but touching the room card in his pocket, he quickly came out again and went to the 19th floor under the guidance of the doctor. He wanted to use the room card of 1903 to open the short man's door and take a look around his room.
Peter took the elevator to the 19th floor as quickly as possible, used the door card to open the door of Room 1903, and after entering, he quickly closed the door and looked around. The room was indeed empty.
Peter walked towards the closet and opened the door, but there was nothing inside. He then opened the second and third door, until he opened all the closet doors, but still did not find the alarm clock that Dr. Soship mentioned.
Peter kept searching the room. He didn't know when the other party would come back, so he had to act quickly.
He searched through the bed, wardrobe, and bedside table in the bedroom, and also checked every cabinet in the living room, but could not find any trace of the alarm clock. Now the only place left to search was the bathroom.
Peter rushed into the bathroom and searched the sink cabinet, the trash can, and even the bathtub, but still found nothing. Suddenly, Peter had an idea and he reached out and opened the lid of the toilet tank.
"Got you!"
Peter took out a wet alarm clock from the toilet tank, and Schiller also got the news.
"Hidden in the toilet tank?"
