Midnight?
That's absolutely impossible.
I suddenly realized that the old man in front of me was not from the same timeline as us.
Otherwise, he would never have said the words "early morning".
We were already past midnight when we first got into the thick fog!
At that time, we were still worried about the deadline for signing the agreement.
I don't know where that Fatty Zhou went, but I'm sure of one thing: the deadline here is definitely not just one time!
In other words, if we set the time to tonight, it's almost dawn in our field of vision, but in the old man's field of vision, it's still past midnight the previous day.
If we consider the timeline shown by this weather, it should be around 8 or 9 o'clock now!
This is absolutely outrageous!
In just half a day, within this small hotel, three different time periods were somehow out of sync.
I find it hard to accept.
Unless what's outside is an illusion, and this old man is lying.
At this point, I was tempted to ask that Fatty Zhou what time it was.
Before the old man could say anything, I quickly took out my phone from my pocket to check the time.
But even after taking it out, there was still no signal.
This time, not only was there no signal, but the screen couldn't even be turned on.
Holy crap.
How exactly is the magnetic field in this hotel created?
For a moment, besides feeling a bit resistant to the old man, I was more uncertain about the timing.
If this hotel is filled with time-changing elements, then we could be in any point in time on any timeline.
In that case, if the deadline arrives, which timeline should be used for calculation?
Or, if we were placed in a faster time frame, for example, it might feel like it's still dark outside, but it's already eight or nine o'clock.
If we assume it's already 8 or 9 o'clock, will the deadline follow our assumptions?
I feel like my brain's CPU is about to explode.
"Yiyi, what do you think we should do in this situation?"
I shared my thoughts with the girl, and at that moment, she seemed a little dizzy from my theory.
"Well... I don't know either, brother. But... I smell a strange, yet familiar scent!"
We were discussing this here, but then the old man behind us spoke up again.
"Do you guys think the time is messed up? It's okay, listen to me, everything I say is correct, there's no problem with what I say!"
Listen to me, you won't go wrong!
At this moment, the old man developed a strange sense of confidence.
This left me even more confused.
What does this mean?
Are you sure everything you say is right, old man?
Are you Newton or Einstein?
For a moment, I felt like cursing.
But the old man seemed very confident and showed no intention of backing down.
"Young man, either believe me or ignore me, but I'm telling you, what I said is definitely true!"
It's definitely past midnight right now! And it's almost midnight!
At this point, the old man was quite eloquent, and I even began to believe that what he said might actually be true.
That kind of confidence is an attitude that doesn't allow anyone to disagree with it.
There is a stark contrast between his clothing and appearance.
How can we trust you?
Yiyi also spoke softly at this moment.
"Even if you don't believe me, I'll make you believe me!"
As soon as the old man finished speaking, he suddenly opened his mouth and exhaled a gray smoke.
The smoke grew thicker and thicker, spreading outwards through the crack in the door. Then he turned his head, and the smoke began to blow towards the two of us.
Upon closer inspection, it felt even more familiar.
This gray fog spread rapidly, and as it increased in size, its color gradually faded.
The gray slowly turned into a large white patch, and when I took a sniff, it still had that familiar sweet and fishy smell!
It choked me so much that I kept coughing.
At that moment, I finally realized that this was the white mist that had trapped us before!
"Something looks familiar? Let me show you what I'm capable of!"
Seeing our hesitation, the old man continued speaking.
"Oh no! It's white fog!"
I quickly pulled Yiyi and ran towards the stairwell.
"Get to the second floor quickly! Xiao Yuan is still in danger! This old man is suspicious!"
I shouted.
"Let's go, Boss Zhou has left them plenty of hiding places!"
The girl quickly followed behind me, anxiously asking, "Why does the old man know so much?"
At this moment, the girl held the dew-covered branch in her hand and ran for a while. The dew-covered branch in her hand also emitted a faint green light.
"Brother, this smoke is so cold, it's different from the white smoke before. Now I feel like... we're running on land after it snowed!"
This cold is bone-chilling!
As soon as the girl finished speaking, I felt a chill.
Indeed, this cold weather came without any warning.
That old man really has a lot of underhanded tricks up his sleeve!
I pulled Yiyi upstairs quickly, but by then, the stairwell was already covered in a thick layer of white mist.
Seeing that this lane was completely blocked, I still thought about trying to push my way up.
After all, if we go back and confront that old man head-on, I don't think our chances of winning are very high.
Not only are the chances of winning slim, but we could also be completely wiped out there.
Fatty Zhou said that everyone in this hotel is a master, and since they can stay here for a long time, they must have some special skills.
Otherwise, it would probably have been killed by other guests long ago, or absorbed as nutrients.
Moreover, there are many supervisors in this hotel, including some tailers, all waiting silently here.
In that case, this place becomes even more sinister and difficult to survive in.
The old man just now said he was a regular here, but when he left and why, I no longer have time to find out.
Not only do we lack the time to investigate, but we both feel utterly helpless in the face of this old man.
Run!
If we don't run now, there's really no other way.
And Mr. Zhou's son is waiting on the third floor.
Since this guy can unleash white mist right in front of us, and it spreads to the third floor, then something big is about to happen.
At this moment, I was anxious and somewhat overwhelmed.
I ignored the fog in front of me and just grabbed Yiyi and rushed up to the second floor.
I climbed up the stairs, about a dozen or so.
thump!
I bumped into someone.
