In this situation, anyone could be startled.
Fortunately, Su Deng was mentally prepared and took precautions against this. She continued to pretend to be asleep, and even turned over, her hand seemingly unconsciously making a half-arc motion in the air to slap out.
Although the other party dodged quickly, Su Deng was certain that her fingertips touched a piece of cool, smooth skin, like an ice cube.
After a moment of silence, the sound resumed.
"He's not awake."
"It seems we can't finish this food..."
"ah!"
Just then, a shrill scream suddenly came from outside.
monster--
"Someone has succeeded!"
"Mom, I'm hungry..."
"Hungry, hungry, hungry! All you know is hunger, I'm hungry too!"
"She's still not awake. It looks like this girl won't get any food. Let's go check the other rooms..."
The sound gradually faded until it disappeared completely, and the room fell silent once more.
But Su Deng remained motionless and did not open her eyes.
As long as I'm asleep, everything will be fine. I might as well sleep until dawn. There's no other danger anyway, and there's nothing to do if I wake up in the middle of the night.
Su Deng was very easygoing; despite the screams outside, she turned over and went back to sleep.
About ten minutes later, she still hadn't fallen asleep.
A sound came from beside my ear—
"Mom, she's not awake. Does she know we're lying to her?"
"It seems she really is asleep, not pretending."
"Maybe she guessed we hadn't left yet and said that on purpose, which is why she kept pretending to be asleep..."
Hearing this voice, Su Deng felt no surprise.
She had guessed that the monster might pull this stunt.
Ignoring the monster, even with the constant "banging" in her ears, Su Deng finally fell asleep and slept until the next morning.
She listened to the sounds around her for a while before opening her eyes. It was already daylight outside, and the windows were covered with thick frost. There was no one there. The sounds from last night felt like a dream.
The rules state that it is much safer during the day than at night.
Su Deng sat up in bed, intending to get up and go out to take a look, but found that there were some footprints on the white sheets.
There are them on the ground too.
Some are big, some are small.
This trace proves that something did indeed happen last night.
And judging from the conversation last night, there were both adults and children involved.
The footprints were a patch of light gray, and it was impossible to tell whether they were human footprints or something else.
Last night, the phone didn't ring, and there were no waiters. Apart from the few words exchanged between the monster and the screams from other rooms, it was relatively peaceful.
Su Deng paused for a moment, then got up, looked outside through her eyes, and swiped her door card to open the door.
Once outside, the view opened up, and she noticed a lot of blood in a section of the corridor, with several room doors open.
Including the neighboring house.
Su Deng remembered that Sicily had stayed next door the night before, so she walked over cautiously, keeping her footsteps light.
