Chapter 122
Jiang Li lifted her eyelids and glanced at the hallway of the second floor.
Rule One of the Clear Spring Hotel Floor 2 Rules:
[There is only one guest staying on this floor, in Room 206. All other rooms are vacant.]
Despite the rule saying so, Jiang Li could see at a glance-
Aside from Room 206, the other rooms currently seemed to be occupied by “invisible things.”
Some of them were frantically twisting “doorknobs,” making them creak and groan with no sign of stopping.
Others were swiping room cards with a series of “beeps,” pushing doors open with a “creak” and slamming them shut with a “thud,” repeating the cycle of opening and closing.
During this time, the sound of footsteps pacing back and forth echoed throughout the hallway.
If one listened closely, there were also the sounds of rustling and hushed conversations in lowered voices.
It felt as though the entire hallway was bustling with activity, yet looking out, there was nothing to be seen.
There was an indescribable sense of Aberration about the whole scene.
Jiang Li gripped the Note tightly, taking in the entire situation in the hallway.
A moment later.
She lowered her eyes, contemplating for a second.
With a slight twitch of her index finger, Jiang Li suddenly remembered something. She snapped her Eyes upward…
“Hurry up and open the Guest Elevator door for me! I’m saying this for the last time! Do you hear me? Open the door! Open it! Open it!!”
The invisible Girl kicked the Guest Elevator door panels with a series of bangs, her voice growing increasingly impatient.
From the look of it, the Girl’s emotions could spiral out of control at any moment.
Under the astonished gazes of the netizens in the Live Streaming Room, Jiang Li stepped forward and walked toward that “invisible Girl.”
-“Holy crap, is the Girl really the guest? Did Jiang Li figure it out that quickly??”
-“Are you kidding me! There’s no information at all, how could she judge? I’ll bet a pack of spicy strips that the Chosen One is just taking a wild guess!”
-“Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, please bless our Chosen One to win this round!”
Inside the Live Streaming Room.
Following the sound, Jiang Li walked up to the Girl.
“Hello, please show me your room card to ensure that you are indeed a guest on this floor.”
As Jiang Li spoke, she held out her palm, signaling for the Girl to hand over the card.
Seeing this, the viewers in the Live Streaming Room were all stunned.
This time, the comment section truly exploded.
-“Help, I thought the Chosen One had figured it out, but it turns out she doesn’t know either!?”
-“This is a pure gamble, guys. If the Girl isn’t Guest 206, isn’t Jiang Li dead meat?”
-“Guys, is the Chosen One dead? I don’t dare to look. [crying.jpg]”
By rashly engaging the Girl without determining whether she was the guest, Jiang Li was highly likely to run into trouble.
If the Girl was Guest 206, then both Jiang Li and the guest would be fine.
But if the Girl wasn’t Guest 206, Jiang Li’s actions were undoubtedly a death wish.
Some netizens watched the Live Streaming Room with their eyes half-closed, waiting for a long time.
However, the expected “Death Notification of the Chosen One” did not appear.
Could Jiang Li’s luck really be that good? Was this invisible Girl actually the Guest of Room 206?
Otherwise, how else could one explain why Jiang Li was currently unharmed?
Just as the netizens were filled with doubt, everyone saw a room card being placed into Jiang Li’s hand.
The camera zoomed in, giving the room card a close-up.
The numbers on that room card were clearly presented before the public’s eyes.
It should be Room 206, otherwise, this situation wouldn’t make sense at all!
But the moment the netizens saw the room card, everyone’s faces turned pale, and they all gasped in unison.
-“It’s over, it’s over, she’s dead for sure. This isn’t Room 206, it’s Room 205!”
–“Jiang Li made a mistake. But wait, why isn’t she dead yet? There don’t seem to be any signs of contamination either.”
–“To the person above, I have no idea. My brain is about to short-circuit [Stunned.jpg]”
Inside the Live Streaming Room.
Jiang Li looked at the number on the room card and smiled calmly.
“I’m sorry, miss, but this room card doesn’t belong to our hotel. I’m afraid I cannot assist you.”
Jiang Li placed the room card next to the smart machine and turned to leave.
Red Infant found it strange.
“Mommy, it wasn’t Guest 206, so why didn’t you die when you spoke to it?”
Although Red Infant was illiterate, he had used Aberration Power to input the contents of the Note into his brain in the form of audio.
Therefore, he currently could not understand what was happening.
Jiang Li smiled and pinched his chubby cheek. “Of course I won’t die, Baby.”
“The rules say Mommy cannot respond to a ‘Non-guest’s’ request. Did Mommy respond just now?” Jiang Li asked.
Floor 2 Rule 4:
[You must not respond to a ‘Non-guest’s’ request. Please keep this in mind.]
Jiang Li’s actions just now were indeed a conversation with a “Non-guest.”
However, throughout the entire process, not a single word she spoke responded to the “Non-guest’s” request.
The Girl’s request was: help her open the elevator door.
The netizens in the Live Streaming Room were stunned for two seconds.
After realizing the trick behind it, they suddenly felt a wave of enlightenment.
–“Nice, nice, nice. So you can actually play it like that?”
–“Alright, I admit this woman is a bit smarter than me.”
–“The Chosen One uses her brain and finds a loophole. I use my brain and find a hole.”
Jiang Li left the Elevator Entrance.
She went straight into the Staff Lounge, closed the door, lay down, and went to sleep.
Outside the window, the night had grown deep.
While a hotel at midnight could hardly be called safe, Jiang Li truly needed to conserve her energy and get a good night’s sleep.
Not long after Jiang Li lay down.
The noise outside gradually grew louder.
There were children running and screaming wildly, with parents shouting behind them to persuade them to stop.
There were musicians playing guitars and singing at the top of their lungs.
Some even took the pots and pans specifically provided for the luxury suites of the Clear Spring Hotel and banged them in the hallway, creating a “clatter and clang” that disturbed the peace.
Even more bizarrely, there were people claiming to be Jiang Li’s father and mother, constantly calling out “Daughter, daughter” while incessantly knocking on the door.
The “parents” outside waited for a long time. Seeing that Jiang Li ignored them, they began pounding on the door in a frenzy, seemingly trying to break in.
These strange things were likely trying to use a war of attrition.
They intended to keep Jiang Li from sleeping, thereby draining her mental energy.
If this continued, Jiang Li would become lethargic and her mind wouldn’t be able to keep up while she worked, leading to an eventual disaster.
However, those things had miscalculated one thing.
Jiang Li’s sleep quality was exceptionally good.
Her nerves were tense at all times during the day, but at night, she fell asleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow.
Accompanied by those raucous noises, Jiang Li quickly entered a state of sleep.
After falling asleep, Jiang Li vaguely had a dream.
She dreamed that she climbed out of bed in a daze, opened the door, and walked out.
Outside the door, the two people claiming to be Jiang Li’s “father and mother” were staring blankly at her, fresh red tears of blood flowing from their eyes.
And in the hallway… there were so many people.
Everyone was busy with their own business.
Their only commonality was that everyone’s faces were cracked, and blood leaked from their facial orifices.
These things heard the sound of Jiang Li opening the door and coming out, so they all turned their heads at the same time, using their bloody Eyes to look at Jiang Li as she stepped out of the room.
