Chapter 222: The Man Trapped in the Wall
The man in shorts was stunned.
He stood at the door and craned his neck to look inside.
He found that Lin Xiyue was the only one in her room. He thought it was his girlfriend knocking on the wall and couldn't help but shout.
"Honey, what are you doing? Why are you knocking on the wall for no reason?"
The girl in front of him just said that they were knocking on the wall, and his wife started knocking on the wall. Isn't this a slap in the face?
The voice of the girlfriend in shorts came from the other side.
"What did you say? I didn't knock!"
The doors of the rooms in the small hotel are very close to each other, and the sound insulation is not good, so two people can have a normal conversation.
Boom boom boom.
Boom boom boom.
The knocking sound continued, and the boy in shorts thought it was his girlfriend playing a prank. He ran back to his room, but found that his girlfriend was lying on the bed and not at the wall.
"It really wasn't you just now?" The short-haired boy widened his eyes in disbelief.
"What did you say? I took off my clothes, how could I get up and knock on the wall?" The boy in shorts didn't even close the door when he went out.
"What's wrong with that girl? Why is she knocking on the wall all the time? Is she sick?" The girl complained, and then she saw her boyfriend rushing to the next room like a whirlwind.
The girl in the next room was still standing at the door, but the knocking sound did not stop.
Boom boom boom.
Boom boom boom.
The boy in shorts turned pale instantly, and he pointed at the wall and screamed tremblingly.
"Ah! There's a ghost in here... There's a ghost in here..."
The noise was so loud that it woke up the girls in the next room.
"Honey, what are you talking about? What ghost is this?" The girl was frightened by the scream of the boy in shorts and ran out wrapped in a bath towel to see what was going on.
Seeing that there was also a girl in the room opposite, the girl simply walked over.
"Honey, what happened..." She held her bath towel in one hand and grabbed the arm of the boy in shorts with the other.
The boy's body kept shaking, and he pointed at the wall in Lin Xiyue's room where the sound of "dong dong" was still going on.
His voice was trembling, "Yes... yes, there is a ghost..."
The girl looked in the direction of his finger.
There was no one next to that wall.
But from inside there came a very rhythmic sound of knocking on the wall.
The girl's hands holding the bath towel clenched instantly.
"There's no one in our room...how...why is there a knocking sound?"
"There's a ghost, there must be a ghost...Honey, let's run!" said the boy in shorts as he was about to pull the girl out.
"It's not a ghost." Lin Xiyue's indifferent voice echoed in the corridor.
The two of them paused and looked towards her.
Amid the two people's horrified and surprised gazes, she walked to the wall, touched the wall with her hand, and then raised her hand and knocked a few times.
Boom boom boom.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom…
Just after Lin Xiyue's hand knocked on the wall, the "dong dong dong" sound suddenly became continuous, as if someone was hitting the wall again and again with great force.
The two people outside the door were so scared that they almost ran away, but when they saw the girl inside the house was so calm, they couldn't help but become curious.
The two of them hugged each other, standing farthest from the door, looking at Lin Xiyue inside the room.
Lin Xiyue put her ear directly to the wall, listened for a while, and then said to the two people outside the door, "There is a person trapped in here."
"What do you mean? Is there a dead body in here?" The boy hugged his girlfriend tighter with a terrified look on his face.
As expected, this kind of cheap, dark hotel is the easiest place for murders and corpses to be hidden.
"It's all your fault. I told you that I couldn't stay in such a cheap hotel, but you were greedy and brought me here... You can't make friends if you don't have money." The girl hit the boy's chest in complaint, her voice trembling.
But what Lin Xiye said next made the two of them even more terrified.
"It's not a corpse, it's a living person." Lin Xiyue's ear was still pressed against the wall. She heard the faint breathing inside the wall, which seemed to be there and not there. "But if we don't rescue him, it will probably be a real corpse."
"What do you mean... there's a living person in here?"
"How is this possible? Can a person who is built into a wall still survive?"
"She didn't get in by building it in. She crawled in by herself." Lin Xiyue then turned to the man in shorts and said, "Go call the boss over."
The boy in shorts hesitated, then nodded.
"Okay, wait a moment then."
As he spoke, he prepared to walk to the service counter in front.
"I...I'll be with you..." She was too scared to stay here alone.
The boy in shorts looked at the towel wrapped around his girlfriend and said, "This doesn't look good on you. Go change your clothes first."
"I won't go. I'm afraid..."
The boy in shorts looked at Lin Xiyue, "Can you help my girlfriend get some clothes? She's so scared."
He was also afraid and didn't dare to enter his room at all.
Lin Xiyue nodded and went to the room to get clothes for them.
The girl put the skirt directly on herself and followed the boy to the service counter in front.
Soon, the burly man strode over, but his expression was even more ferocious than before.
"What? There's someone in the wall... I've told you all, this place is close to a funeral home, and the energy is heavy. A lot of strange things happen at night. As long as you sleep with the door closed, there will be no danger." The burly man spoke in a loud voice.
Today, these two rooms are occupied by guests in his inn.
So he wasn't worried about disturbing others.
His eyes fell on Lin Xiyue, "You just said there was someone inside the wall of my hotel. How is that possible? Does that mean I'm a murderer just because I look fierce?"
The burly man's tone was a little angry.
Because of his appearance, many people have mistaken him as a bad guy. Now this girl directly said that there is a living person inside the wall of his hotel. Doesn't that mean she thinks he is a murderer?
Lin Xiyue was not frightened by his ferocity.
She said calmly, "There is indeed a woman in this wall, but it has nothing to do with you. She crawled in by herself."
The burly man frowned tightly, "Are you mentally ill? Listen to what you said. Is there someone inside this wall or did he crawl in by himself? Is there such an unreasonable thing in the world?"
"She's a pretty girl, but unfortunately she's not very smart..." the burly man said as his eyes fell on the young couple behind him.
"And you guys... you are so young, how could you be fooled by such words? Which normal person would crawl into the wall by himself?"
"But we really heard it just now. Someone was banging on the wall inside..."
"Yes, yes, that sound continued for quite a while. If there was no human in there, could it be a ghost?"
As the young couple spoke, their faces turned paler than the other, and it was obvious that the shock they had just received had not yet subsided.
