Chapter 404: Pitch Black

Pei Jiaojiao suddenly raised her head, her eyes slightly excited, "Manman, what did you find?!"

Lin Man asked a few people to gather together, took out the pile of newspapers, and drew circles on them one by one with a pen.

"You see, during this period, or should I say the past two years, there have been news reports of collapsed houses and damaged roads in the town, on average one every two months."

"Before Xiaoqing told me, I thought it was just a shoddy construction. But if everything in the town is made of paper, I think I can find the reason."

Even though the houses and roads in the town are made of waterproof paper, paper is still paper and cannot withstand the daily rain.

Long-term exposure to wind and rain may not cause houses and roads made of waterproof paper to rot.

But losing their support and causing them to collapse is not a difficult problem.

Pei Jiaojiao frowned.

This town in the dream is really getting more and more weird.

"If everything in this town is made of paper, why does it always rain in this town?"

The paper man is afraid of water, but the rain keeps falling.

Pei Jiaojiao always felt that there was some unknown mystery hidden here.

Li Juan picked up the newspaper and looked at it carefully. "The earliest one was from two years ago."

“I don’t know whether this newspaper was founded two years ago or the town only existed two years ago.”

Xiao Qing pinched her fingers. When her thoughts were confused and her head was a mess, she would always do this subconsciously.

"It's not important, but did you notice that the rain in the town started falling a year ago?"

Lin Man felt inexplicably uncomfortable and put the newspaper aside.

Her face turned pale and blurry fragments began to flash before her eyes.

She wanted to catch it and see it clearly.

It’s just that those images disappeared too quickly and were too blurry.

It was as fast as a swallow flying past your eyes, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into an invisible black dot.

Pei, Xiao and Li immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at her worriedly, "Manman, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Man shook her head. "It's okay."

"Let's first try to escape from this weird dream."

Pei Jiaojiao hummed in agreement, then looked at the furnishings in the room, her brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly.

"This shabby place is so weird everywhere."

She pointed to the window that was sealed shut and couldn't be opened.

"Look, there's no ventilation in this room. If you live in it for a long time, you'll go crazy."

The windows were sealed and covered with black window paper.

The curtains were also a deep black.

The sheets, quilt covers, hotel slippers, towels, and even floor tiles are all black.

The only white thing in the whole room was probably the light shining down.

Li Juan originally wanted to tell Pei Jiaojiao that it was already this time and she should stop being so picky like a princess.

But when she came to her senses, she found that the atmosphere in the hotel room was very depressing.

If their suitcases and bags were not black, the white light would have been really out of place.

Xiao Qing let out a long breath, "Just bear with it. The front desk also said that there are no other rooms here."

Lin Man was thoughtful.

This town is obviously not a place with developed tourism industry.

There weren't many pedestrians on the street.

When they came up, they found that the stairwell and corridor had not been cleaned for a long time, which showed that business was slow.

In this case, the front desk said that this was the only vacant room.

This hotel does not have an elevator.

Pei Jiaojiao even complained a few times about this.

It's called a hotel, but it's more like a small inn.

Li Juan felt something was wrong. "When we came up, I looked around a few times and didn't see any light coming from any room."

"It wasn't that late, half past six. If this place was really full of people, would everyone go to bed so early?"

Or does it mean that the paper people's rest time is different from that of normal humans?

Li Juan couldn't figure it out.

The remaining three people, even Xiao Qing, felt as if their brains were in a knot.

"Forget it." Lin Man looked depressed. "If you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it."

"Let's get some sleep first. Master Huo said we can't go out after dark."

Although I don’t know why, Lin Man and the others have one advantage, which is that they listen to advice.

Don't take the initiative to die.

Since Master Huo said that darkness meant invisible dangers, they decided not to join in the fun.

Curiosity killed the cat.

The same is true for people.

This proposal was supported by Xiao Qing and others.

In an unfamiliar place, you must get enough sleep and rest your body so that you can spare enough attention to plan your escape and avoid danger.

Pei Jiaojiao pursed her lips. She wanted to say that she couldn't sleep without taking a shower, but there was no water here.

But there was no way she would go to such a strange town where she was unfamiliar with the place in search of water just to take a bath.

But soon, she remembered that she actually existed in the form of a soul.

The body is probably still lying at home.

If she really thinks it's dirty, she can just take a few good showers when she wakes up!

After figuring this out, Pei Jiaojiao stopped worrying, packed up her things, closed her eyes and went to sleep.

Several girls lived together, relying on each other in a strange world.

But they couldn't sleep tonight.

Everyone has something on their mind, and now we are in a strange and bizarre world. Under such circumstances, anyone who can fall asleep immediately is truly gifted.

Fortunately, in the dark environment, without any light, several people slowly fell asleep.

However, I could not see any light when I fell asleep, and when I woke up, there was no light at all.

Several people picked up their phones to check the time.

I realized that the places where the time was displayed were blurred as if by mosaics, and I couldn't see the time at all.

Just at this moment, the phone on the bedside table rang.

It turned out to be the front desk calling.

"Good evening, distinguished guest. Our hotel has specially provided breakfast service for you. Please come down and have your meal."

A few people shuddered and hung up the phone almost with a bang.

Years of experience watching horror movies have taught them that at this moment, they must not go down.

However, just after hanging up, the phone rang again.

There was clearly no one answering the call, but a voice was coming out of the receiver.

"Dear guest! Please come downstairs and have your meal immediately!"

The strong voice seemed to indicate that they had to go.

Lin Man felt horrified.

The strange paper town is full of dangers, with blurred time and a hotel where you can't tell the difference between day and night.

At first, Lin Man and others didn't understand why such a nice hotel was decorated in pitch black.

Now they understand.

This is what makes them unable to distinguish between day and night.

There was a telephone on the bedside table in the hotel, and the ringing sounded desperately, like a series of life-threatening music.

Before they figured out the situation, none of them dared to go down.

Lin Man held the phone tremblingly, and failed to hold it steadily several times, and the phone almost slipped to the ground.

She opened Tengjiao Live with trembling hands, clicked into Huo Ning's homepage, and sent a string of private messages.

[Lin Man: Master Huo, help me, I can't tell what time it is now. The hotel is completely dark and the windows are sealed shut. The front desk called and asked us to go down, but we didn't dare!]

In her panic, she made several typos.
