In other words, if the rooms on the third floor were located in the corners, we should have already known this when we came downstairs and before we even entered the hotel.
We really didn't see anything outside just now.
But I didn't have time to think about it much. Inside the room, I seemed to hear some noise as well.
Moreover, the noise here seems to be louder than the sound from before.
The room was filled with clutter, which appeared even more disorganized under the light, and was covered in dust.
These odds and ends were all scattered haphazardly, but in one corner, I spotted a huge figure.
The figure was indistinct, and I couldn't quite make out what it was.
However, as we got closer to this behemoth, I could hear the knocking on the glass outside getting louder and louder.
I noticed this huge figure, which seemed to be the boss from before. My heart sank. The boss had just disappeared from that room, could he have come directly into this bright room?
What a coincidence! If we hadn't continued exploring, we probably wouldn't have even found where this house was.
Are you there, Mr. Zhou?
As we approached, Yiyi spoke first, taking a step forward at the same time.
When we got closer, we realized that it wasn't Boss Zhou at all.
It's more like a clothes rack!
The clothes rack had a wide opening, like branches on a tree trunk.
Outside, there was a vest and underwear exactly like the boss's!
I was completely shocked when I saw this.
There was also a wig on the clothes rack, exactly like the few hairs on the boss's head, scattered messily at the very top of the rack.
It looks like something specially prepared for us.
Just as we removed the clothes rack to see what was behind it, the lights in the room flickered very noticeably twice!
"Brother, watch out!"
Yiyi quickly spoke up, and I was also very alert, immediately protecting her.
But when we calmed down, the clothes hanger started to break without warning!
Cut it in half!
The fat man's appearance suddenly collapsed, and even his wig fell to the ground in a daze.
I was completely astonished by what I saw.
Holy crap.
What does this mean?
Did this fat boss just die for nothing this week?
Or is this some kind of metaphor?
Is this a metaphor for how this fat man died?
I really don't understand why they would place a fake clothes hanger at a time like this. Is it to lure the enemy in, or what? I don't understand. But given Zhou Pangzi's physique, I think it would be very difficult for him to disappear into thin air.
In other words, he must have quietly slipped away while we were discussing things, or he was either kidnapped.
After we settled down there and waited quietly for a while, we discovered that there was just an empty wall behind the clothes rack.
That's all.
This fat guy... he can't really be dead, can he?
Thinking about this makes my heart pound uncontrollably.
If this fat man died because he violated some provision of the contract, then we should die the same way!
If there are any other clauses in the contract that the blue-armored man placed, the fat man might trigger them and die instantly.
In our view, it was simply a disappearance, followed by its reappearance in this form!
I suspect that's the most likely case.
He was just standing there, talking normally; he couldn't have just disappeared.
Otherwise, where on earth did this fat guy go?
As I pondered this, I sensed footsteps approaching from outside the dark room.
The footsteps sounded exactly the same as when Fatty Zhou first came down.
I immediately became alert.
"Master! The footsteps are fading away!"
The cumulative system's reminder echoed in my mind, and I carefully felt it.
Indeed, this is completely the opposite of when the footsteps first appeared; those footsteps seemed to be going down from the 3rd floor!
But as soon as I heard those footsteps, I suddenly realized that the temperature inside the room had risen.
The temperature rose at a faster rate as the footsteps receded into the distance.
Walk!
The only thought that came to mind was this:
If we don't leave, we'll probably be roasted to death inside by the time the footsteps reach the first floor!
As the footsteps faded into the distance, I did indeed feel the temperature around me gradually rising.
At this rate, if it's linear growth, that's fine, but if it's exponential growth, wouldn't we inevitably die here?
Yiyi, Lei Jijian, and I quickly left the place.
He rushed out of the storage room without looking back.
"Brother, the sea marrow that fat man gave us is still inside!"
Yiyi was still panting, but she spoke with the same worry.
I suddenly slapped my forehead.
Holy crap, it really is.
If the boss is indeed dead, just as I guessed.
The moment he put the lid on the earthenware jar, the aged sea marrow inside, which had not yet been fully extracted, was already ours!
Whether he's dead or alive, at least he's not there anymore.
We need not fear that competing with him for the sea marrow might involve armed conflict.
In other words, whoever gets this thing now owns it!
In addition, the sea marrow powder he just gave us, even if it's not very useful, can at least ease our immediate crisis a little.
I think it's definitely worth taking the risk of rushing back at this point!
I made a quick decision and grabbed Yiyi, rushing back.
In just a few dozen seconds, we were back in the same storage room, but this time the lights inside were almost completely off.
I quickly took out and turned on my flashlight and phone light.
Although these two combined are already quite bright, they are still not enough.
This storage room is quite large. I don't know how the two of us found that secret door in such a confused way.
It felt like something out of nowhere.
And I suddenly realized that the secret door seemed to have been prepared specifically for us.
Logically speaking, why would a hotel room, or even a storage room, have an extra hidden door?
Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.
Fatty Zhou, are you dead or not? Come out here right now!
Yiyi and I were searching anxiously.
At this moment, Lei Jijian also released all the electricity on his body and joined us in searching for the jar that the boss had just turned over.
