The exterior of the building looks a bit old, but the interior has obviously been renovated. Although it still follows the retro Republican style, you can tell the difference by looking at the new and old.
In the lobby, all the furniture and ornaments are made of wood, I don’t know if it is mahogany, it is very simple and rustic. Two people are talking at the front desk.
The woman in the hotel work clothes had an oval face, big eyes, fair skin and delicate features. She looked very beautiful at first glance, but when you got closer you could see that she was wearing heavy makeup.
There are three words on the head: Lin Chunxiang.
A man was talking to her. He was wearing black trousers and a black casual suit. He wore black-framed glasses and had an honest face. Combined with his honest and serious attire, he looked like a programmer.
There are also three words on the top of the head: Xu Enze.
"Brother Jiang, you're here." Seeing the group of people, Xu Enze stopped chatting, came up to them with a smile and greeted them, and then naturally took the things in Xiao Qing's hand.
"Where's the boss?"
"I went for a walk this morning and took a nap. I'm still in my room right now, and I don't know if I'm up yet." Xu Enze said, "The script has been finalized and is in my room. I'll give it to you later. I'll take you to your room first. After you put your things down, I'll take you for a walk. Let's have dinner together around 7 o'clock. Get some rest today. I think the person will arrive tomorrow afternoon."
"Yeah, okay."
"Xiaolin, thank you for your help."
"Everyone, please follow me."
The first floor was bright, but as I went up the stairs, the old wooden stairs creaked when I stepped on them, and there was an inexplicable atmosphere of horror.
When I went up to the second floor, it was inevitably a little dim because most of the sunny windows were covered by ivy.
"It's so lush, there shouldn't be any bugs, right?" Sun Lingling frowned subconsciously as she looked at the greenery outside the window.
"It's good to have bugs, the scariest thing is snakes!" Shi Yansheng was also a little worried.
"No, it's autumn now, there are no snakes, and we sprinkle realgar every day, so there will be no snakes in the room." Lin Chunxiang, who led the way, explained with a smile.
"I hope so."
"There are eight rooms on the second floor." Xu Enze said as he walked, and then stopped at the first room next to the stairs. On the wooden door, there was a wooden sign with the word 'Yi' engraved on it.
"I'm staying in this room, Xiaoqing, put your things aside for now, we'll stay in this room."
"good."
After putting down their things and closing the door, the group continued forward.
After passing one room, we came to the room next door, which had a wooden sign with the character 'Wu' on it. "But when the target comes, stay in this room."
"Is there a mechanism in this room?" Sun Lingling's eyes lit up.
"Yeah." Xu Enze smiled.
"Let's go in and take a look!" Jiang Shian was curious.
"I don't have the key." Xu Enze spread his hands.
Then everyone looked at Lin Chunxiang.
"Sorry, it's a secret. I can't leak it." Lin Chunxiang winked at everyone, looking very naughty. "Mr. He knows our agent. If you are curious, you can ask him."
"Forget it, forget it. I don't know, that's when there's a surprise."
"Will it be terrifying, scaring the shit out of people?"
"Not really..."
"Those invited guests, are their hearts okay? Don't let them get scared to the point of having problems, or it would be troublesome."
"Don't worry, no, you have to pass the medical examination to participate in this horror hotel adventure."
The group chatted one by one and put away their luggage. Shi Yansheng and Sun Lingling shared a room with the door number "Geng".
Because Jiang Shian lived on the third floor, right next to Boss Wang.
After putting down their things, the group started to tour the place under the guidance of Lin Chunxiang.
The whole building, to be exact, has three floors. The first floor is the lobby, there is a small dining room, and the kitchen is at the back.
The second and third floors are guest rooms.
There are eight rooms on the second floor and six rooms on the third floor.
The fourth floor is obviously an addition. It was originally just a rooftop, but after the addition, it became a semi-exposed leisure area, and there are two staff dormitories like student dormitories, one for men and one for women.
Then there is a basement, which is mostly a storage warehouse, and there is also a monitoring room. All relevant public areas of the hotel are equipped with surveillance.
Because the hotel has not yet officially opened, the only employees in the hotel are Wu Mingwen, Lin Chunxiang, and a chef named Wang Ziming, who is fat, has a silly smile, and looks very amiable.
After walking around, there was still more than an hour before lunch at 7 o'clock, so everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
"Lingling, do you feel that this hotel is cold and gloomy?" After returning to the room and closing the door, Shi Yansheng started complaining to Sun Lingling.
"You know what, it's really chilly. I feel a little cold even though I'm wearing so little." Sun Lingling agreed.
"By the way, just now in the car, why did you pull me in when I was talking about Lao Jiang's wife?" Shi Yansheng had wanted to ask for a long time, and finally he had the chance to ask.
"This..." Sun Lingling hesitated, then shook her head. "No, nothing."
"No, who are we talking to? Tell me!" Shi Yansheng shook her arm with a bit of coquettishness.
"Well, then don't tell anyone else!" Sun Lingling had no choice but to compromise in the end, showing the standard attitude of sharing a secret.
"I promise not to tell anyone! Otherwise... I will gain 20 pounds!" Shi Yansheng immediately raised his hand and swore.
"I heard from my boss before that Lao Jiang's wife has mental problems," Sun Lingling whispered. "They said that when she's having an attack, she sees a little boy of 7 or 8 and treats him as her own son, hugging him and calling him Little Treasure. She was arrested as a human trafficker because she took someone else's child home. It was Lao Jiang who asked my boss for help to find some connections to get the child released. That's how my boss learned about Lao Jiang's wife's condition."
"Ah?" Shi Yansheng was surprised, with a look of sympathetic confusion on his face. "How could this happen?"
"The boss said that the Jiangs had a son, but he died when he was only a few years old, probably around 7 or 8. He apparently went swimming in the river with other children from the village and drowned. Jiang's wife was traumatized by the loss of her son, and that's why she's acting weird."
"Old Jiang is so optimistic and cheerful on weekdays, always talking about his wife. I thought he and his wife were loving and happy. It turns out he is so miserable. It's really... so pitiful." The sympathy on Shi Yansheng's face deepened.
"Yeah." Sun Lingling also sighed. "It's good that you know about this, but don't mention it in front of Lao Jiang, okay?"
"Don't worry, although Lao Jiang is a little bit out of tune on weekdays, I won't
You hit me right in the heart, Lingling, luckily you stopped me just now."
"That's good to know."
…
The two chatted for a few more words, and the topic shifted back to this unique hotel. Shi Yansheng suddenly realized, "Lingling, what was that Lin Family Residence No. 37 you were talking about?"
"Ah? You don't even know this?"
"I don't know."
"You..." Sun Lingling was speechless and began to explain slowly, "No. 37, the Lin family residence, one of the famous horror and supernatural places..."
