"I have only seen this hollow golden rose pattern decoration on the video. It is said to be a long-lost craft in the Xizhou area. Now I see that it is worthy of its reputation. Is this the crystallization of human wisdom? I am still shocked by this art..."
Bai Yu carefully touched the decorative patterns on the expensive wooden door and exclaimed in admiration.
[The wall is bleeding! Bai Yu, wake up! ]
"This seems to be The Feast of the Sheep by a world-famous absurdist writer, but it's obviously a copy, and the colors are wrong..."
Bai Yu stood in front of a painting hanging on the wall and examined it carefully, completely ignoring the blood seeping out of the wall.
[I heard someone talking inside the wall, and there was more than one person! ]
"This bed sheet feels so smooth, and there's even a small cashmere blanket on it. It feels really good. System, help me search online to see if there's a similar model."
Bai Yu couldn't let go of the small cashmere blanket on the luxurious bed. This kind of wool came from a kind of sheep unique to Xizhou.
[Hey, hey, hey, can you please not focus on these bits and pieces? We are in a different dimension now, and the situation looks pretty bad.]
The system watched as the blood seeped out from the wall and flowed onto the ground, forming a small pool of blood.
...
...
[Of course I know this is no longer our original space. After all, how could a temporary dormitory converted from an old building have something like this?]
Bai Yu easily dodged the blood that was slowly flowing on the ground, and then sat on the soft and luxurious bed, holding his chin with one hand.
It was just that it was the first time he saw the physical decorative patterns described in the book, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
[System, I remember seeing this style of decoration in a history book about Xizhou. It is said that it was quite popular in the Xizhou area more than a hundred years ago. Can you help check it out to confirm it?]
Bai Yu poked the system and opened his phone to see if he could contact Lin Mo and the others.
No, no signal.
The circle where the message could not be sent kept spinning, as if silently foreshadowing something.
The system's voice also sounded at the right time: [No, I can't connect to the outside network. In this alien space, all signals are disconnected. ]
Bai Yu let out a "tsk" sound, and missed the time when he could still control the copy. If he had enough energy, he could directly summon the copy to come.
Now I can only rely on myself and the system.
So he began to observe this small, luxuriously decorated room.
Ignoring the overly gorgeous decorations, Bai Yu focused his attention on some extra things that obviously did not belong to this room.
It is a brown cowhide suitcase.
Combined with the surrounding decorations, this should be a luxurious guest room in an ancient hotel.
Bai Yu opened the suitcase and spread it out, revealing all the items inside.
There was a pile of cosmetics with exquisite packaging. The bottles were made of pure silver. They looked very expensive. The brand on them was from a famous and long-established cosmetics brand in Xizhou.
Bai Yu opened it and smelled it. After making sure that the fragrance inside was not the scent of the flowers she had opened, she put the cosmetics back.
In addition to cosmetics, there is also a diary. Although the inner pages are a little yellowed, judging from the complete and smooth cover, its owner must have taken good care of it.
Bai Yu opened the diary that spanned more than a hundred years.
[Today is my first day in Babu City. This city is just as the rumors say, dangerous but charming. It is indeed the legendary city that was watered with luxury and blood.]
[While I was walking in the mall this evening, I heard gunshots in the distance. The waitress at the Baoli store calmly told me that it was gangsters fighting and I should not get close to them and not go out at night.]
[The handsome waiter in the hotel also told me not to go out at night, no matter what noise I heard, I was a little scared, and I regretted coming here alone.]
[Today is my second day in Babu City. I went to see Inros. He had promised me to marry him, which is why I came to see him alone without telling my parents. Thinking of him, I was filled with courage again.]
At some point, the wall quietly cracked open, and a bloody, delicate hand stretched out from the crack, with its fingertips slowly touching Bai Yu's shoulder.
“I haven’t finished reading it yet.”
Bai Yu broke the hand with a "snap" and continued reading.
[I was deceived. He had no intention of marrying me. He actually dared to deceive a noble’s daughter! I am now full of disappointment in this city, but the gentle waiter has been comforting me and once again told me not to go out at night...]
[I heard some noise in the wall...]
"Ah...it's such a sad ending. I thought it would have a happy ending like in the novel. This is too realistic."
Bai Yu looked at his hand, which had remained motionless since he hit him, and sighed.
"No wonder you didn't let me see it just now. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't want anyone to see this dark history of being deceived."
The arm seemed silent for a moment.
After a few seconds, it moved again, but this time, the bloody fingertips did not touch Bai Yu, but touched the yellowed paper.
Under the words "gentle waiter", his fingertips swayed and wrote the words for the Xizhou area.
run
Bai Yu blinked. Where to run?
“Knock, knock, knock…”
There was a sudden rhythmic knock on the door, and the arm immediately hid itself. The crack on the wall suddenly disappeared, as if nothing had happened just now.
"Miss, the breakfast you ordered has arrived. Please open the door."
A gentle voice sounded, and from the voice one could tell that the person was probably a very gentlemanly man.
"Miss...Miss? Are you okay?"
There was the sound of a key unlocking the door, and a large amount of blood came out through the gap in the door.
The sound of swallowing saliva was heard.
Bai Yu raised his eyebrows and decided to hide first.
His eyes turned to the carved wooden wardrobe on the wall. The wardrobe was very large, more than enough to hide him.
But according to the routine in the TV series, the person hiding in the closet will definitely be discovered in the end.
So Bai Yu looked at the bottom of the luxurious bed...
The super large bed sheet hung down, perfectly covering the gap underneath. The space inside should be able to hide an adult man.
Bai Yu lifted the bed sheet.
Click.
The door opened.
**

"Miss, are you playing hide and seek with me?"
A man dressed as a waiter walked in with a gentle smile on his face, but in his hand was not the breakfast he mentioned, but a boning knife that kept dripping blood.
He walked in the small room with a smile on his face, each step deliberately heavy, splashing a little blood, and finally stopped in front of the carved wooden wardrobe.
"Miss?"
He pulled open the wooden door of the closet, and when he saw that there was nothing inside except towels and sheets, he couldn't help but tilt his head.
"It looks like it's not here."
The waiter didn't get discouraged when he didn't find anyone in the wardrobe. Instead, he walked to the curtain and pulled it open.
“No, I don’t.”
He began to look for any place in the house where someone could be hidden.
During the search, his body was constantly changing.
The arms kept getting longer, the legs kept getting longer, the neck kept getting longer, and the skin on them was black, white, old, and young.
It was like countless people's arms, countless people's legs, and countless people's necks spliced together.
Its head began to grow larger, and many different mouths and eyes grew on it, making it look like the faces of different people merged together.
It’s a pity that these body parts were not fused completely, the seams were very obvious, and they were even bleeding continuously, dyeing it into a blood-red human figure.
The blood-red figure looked around and finally stood beside the bed. He looked at the bed sheet that had fallen on the ground and one corner of it was folded inward. Dozens of mouths on the heads showed strange smiles at the same time.
"Miss, I found you."
The bloody blade chopped down, and the entire wooden luxurious bed split open.
The bloody monster was stunned, with confusion in dozens of eyes.
There was nothing underneath the cracked bed, and the dusty floor seemed to be mocking something silently.
We searched the entire room. It's impossible for such a big person to disappear out of thin air.
"Gudong"
The sound of swallowing saliva was heard again, and the monster, looking at the floor in confusion, suddenly stiffened all over, his hair stood up at the same time, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
It felt like something was staring at it greedily, as if there was a thousand-pound weight on its neck, making it unable and dare not raise its head. Its instinct was giving it a frantic warning.
Instinct was telling it not to look up and to run away.
It's the ceiling! Something is lying on the ceiling!
