Chapter 200 The Strange Room



Despite their humiliation, the four of them still managed to reach the tenth floor.

Xia Chuhe secretly took a picture of the number on the back of the elevator robot, and hesitated about whether to report it.

The clue suggests "be kind," but is reporting it a kind act?

Before the elevator doors opened, Xia Chuhe made a decision—reporting it was certainly a kind act!

Reporting inappropriate behavior by robots through official channels can prompt hotels to improve the services provided by robots, thereby increasing customer happiness and satisfaction, which is definitely a great thing!

Xia Chuhe happily made her decision, but as soon as the elevator doors opened, her smile froze on her face with a gust of cold wind. Before she could realize anything was wrong, the eerie atmosphere vanished, and it seemed as if it had just been normal dampness in the hallway.

Opposite the elevator are the tea room and charging station. The corridor starts from the elevator and forms an open circle. The rooms are opposite each other, and Xia Chuhe and the others' room is at the end of the corridor.

When Bu Yi reached the tenth floor, the others were checking their respective rooms.

Bu Yi didn't delay and went straight to the last room in the corridor—1026.

The further he walked into the corridor, the more damp and chilling it became, and the occasional gust of wind made Bu Yi feel a little uneasy.

If it weren't for the fact that Xia Chuhe and the others' rooms were all open, allowing them to see their companions from the doorway, Bu Yi really wouldn't have dared to leave.

Standing in front of 1026, Bu Yi felt that something was wrong with his surroundings, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

Bu Yi hesitated, not daring to stick the room card on.

Just then, Bao'er came out after checking the room. She was still a child, so she wasn't as meticulous as others when it came to the trivial matters of checking the room, and thus she was faster.

Bao'er asked sweetly, "Sister Yi, when you came up, didn't any robots give you trouble?"

Bu Yi shook his head.

Bao'er muttered to herself, "Right, it's already difficult enough that it locked you out."

When this matter was brought up, Bu Yi felt both angry and amused, and the eeriness in his heart also lessened considerably.

With a living person by his side, Bu Yi felt at ease swiping his room card and opening the door.

Bao'er suddenly exclaimed "Huh?" and pointed to the white wall at the end of the corridor, saying, "How strange, why are there no windows here in the corridor?"

A chill rose in Bu Yi's heart.

Yes, there are no windows at the end of the corridor, and there are no windows next to the elevator either. So, where does the wind in the corridor come from?

Bu Yi subconsciously did some calculations on his fingers—it was a minor omen.

It's not a big problem.

Bu Yi instructed Bao'er, "Stay by the door, don't get too close."

After Bao'er nodded, Bu Yi went into the room, inserted the card to turn on the power, and checked the room.

It was daytime inside the instance, but the room was dimly lit with the curtains drawn. Even when Bu Yi turned on the light, the bright red curtains still cast an unsettling crimson hue over the room.

Bu Yi pulled back the curtains and was instantly furious at the room's design.

The room had an interior window, and about an arm's length away from it, a tall building completely blocked out the room's light. Opposite the interior window was one of the windows of the tall building.

Looking out from the inside window, only this room has the problem of being blocked from the light; the other rooms are bathed in sunlight.

Sunshine, this is a luxury of sunshine.

Bu Yi sullenly inspected the rest of the room, secretly thinking that he would mention to Xia Chuhe later that they should all live together. Living separately was not a good thing.

Before Bu Yi could finish inspecting the room, the other four people all squeezed into her small room to help find fault with it.

"This room doesn't get any sunlight!" Xia Chuhe immediately focused his attention on the inner window.

The window opposite the inner window is a sliding window, which is currently open, with only a thin curtain blocking the view of the high-rise building and the hotel.

It's only an arm's length away, you can reach it with your hand outstretched...

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, Xia Chuhe quietly moved to the inner window and, out of curiosity, lifted a corner of the curtain of the tall building opposite.

A small red embroidered shoe appeared on the windowsill, startling Xia Chuhe so much that he immediately withdrew his hand.

Xia Chuhe moved too much and bumped into the window frame, making a sound.

Li Yue turned her head sharply: "What's wrong?"

Her question drew the attention of others.

Xia Chuhe pointed to the window of the high-rise building: "Something's not right inside."

With courage in numbers, Xia Chuhe thought for a moment and said, "I want to see what's on the other side."

With the consent of the others, Xia Chuhe took out a long pole and completely lifted the curtains.

Inside the high-rise building was just an ordinary Chinese banquet hall, with a dark blue carpet covering the entire floor, surrounded by dark mahogany tables, and a high platform in the very center for performances.

Xia Chuhe rubbed his eyes. There were no embroidered shoes behind the window, nor were there any shoes in the room.

The room looked normal, but Bu Yi's heart was pounding. She pointed to the dark red stains on the carpet and asked, "Is that blood?"

Li Yue frowned as she looked at the dirty, wine-red stains she sensed with her superpower: "No, it's just wine stains."

In short, there were no strange embroidered shoes, no bloodstains, and nothing unusual in the high-rise building, except that it blocked the sunlight.

Li Yue tried to ease the tension by taking out a coupon: "I found a dining coupon on the cabinet. There are many dishes on it that I don't know how to cook. Shall we go take a look later?"

Zhao Maomao pulled out a tattered hotel layout map: "It was torn from the wall."

The layout plan shows that, in addition to the lobby, the first floor of the hotel also has a restaurant, a reception room, a security room, and an archive room. The second to eighteenth floors are regular rooms. Opposite the elevator on each floor are a tea room and a charging station. The nineteenth and twentieth floors are only marked as luxury suites, probably to protect the privacy and security of distinguished guests, so the specific layout is not shown.

Xia Chuhe suppressed his doubts and perked up: "Okay, let's go to the first floor first and see if we can change rooms, and then go to the restaurant."

As the others walked to the door, Xia Bao'er grabbed Xia Chuhe's hand and gestured for her to bend down: "Sister, I saw a machine like the one you use under the table in that room."

Xia Chuhe looked in the direction Bao'er pointed. Under the table in the opposite room, there was a rug sticking up, and a cell phone could be vaguely seen in the gap between the rug and the table.

The location was extremely tricky; even if you deliberately looked for it, it would be easy to overlook. I don't know how Bao'er saw it.

Xia Chuhe tapped Bao'er's nose and teased, "New eyes, they're so useful."

Xia Chuhe touched the gun tucked into his waistband and said to the others, "Wait a moment, I'm going to get something, I'll be right back."

After saying that, Xia Chuhe climbed onto the windowsill, jumped straight into the opposite room, quickly picked up his phone, and jumped back.

The phone is either out of battery or broken; the screen is completely black and the buttons are unresponsive.

Xia Chuhe thought for a moment, put away his phone, and took the elevator downstairs with everyone.

Before they even reached the elevator, the group encountered two small robots.

Xia Chuhe sighed, annoyed that there were these little tin cans everywhere.

Should I punch it? I wonder how much I'd have to pay in damages.

Let's give it a piece of our mind. That little rascal reads our messages and then replies randomly, even using sarcastic remarks.

Should we choke it from behind? But where can we find its neck?

Fortunately, the two robots were focused on cleaning and did not make it difficult for Xia Chuhe and the others to travel.

Upon arriving safely in the lobby on the first floor, Xia Chuhe noticed an additional staff member at the front desk—a carbon-based human.
