The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Chapter 2787 Phantom Haunted Room (Thirteen)

As soon as midnight arrived, Schiller climbed through the window and went back into the house. The alarm clock rang very punctually, but this time, it only rang twice in the entire right corridor and only four times in the entire 19th floor.

In other words, if something goes wrong with the people in one of Rooms 1901 and 1903, they will no longer be judged as not being contaminated, but will most likely be completely contaminated.

Which one will it be?

But Schiller has no time to think about this now. He knows that if his hotel is in the past, the hotel Peter is in will be more dangerous. And Peter's ability is insufficient, Schiller must give him enough guidance, otherwise he may It's hard to survive.

What can be found in common between the two hotels now is the alarm clock. Schiller found an alarm clock in his room. Peter opened the door of Room 1903 and got an alarm clock in the water tank in the toilet.

Jerome said that the alarm clock sounded as a detection procedure and would only go off when someone alive was in the room, but Peter also spent a night in that hotel and said he heard nothing at night , which means that there was no sound even once on the 19th floor where he was.

Then there are some problems, because besides Peter, Jerome is also a living person on the entire floor. That is to say, if the detection device is still working normally, there should be at least two rings on the 19th floor, even if this Jerome There's a problem, the alarm clock in Peter's room is supposed to go off.

Schiller asked Peter to look for the alarm clock in the room. After Peter had just slept, he felt that he was in good spirits, so he followed Schiller's instructions and began to search the hotel room where he was, trying to find the alarm clock.

However, he searched and found nothing. In the closet where Schiller found the alarm clock, he found no trace of the existence of the alarm clock.

This was unlikely, Schiller thought, unless he had moved the alarm clock somewhere else.

Because I am in the past on the timeline, all my actions will affect Peter. If I choose to leave the alarm clock, it is impossible for Peter to find it. If Peter cannot find it, it means that he has moved the alarm clock somewhere else. Went.

Why do you do this?

It is impossible to speculate now, but it is very likely because of some information he got in the next few days, that is to say, Schiller in the next few days thought that it would be better if the alarm clock was not in the room than in the room.

But at this point in time where Schiller was, the detection device was still working normally. Only when the alarm clock sounded could the room be safe. If Schiller moved the alarm clock to another place, the one wandering in the corridor and causing the sound of the elevator would Unknown creatures may come in.

What made Schiller willing to take such a risk to get rid of the alarm clock and keep it out of Peter's reach?

There is another clue about the alarm clock, that is, the person in room 1903 chose to put the alarm clock in the toilet water tank.

Judging from the current situation, if Peter's time period is really in the future, the possibility of the situation completely improving is too small. It is more likely that everything in that time period is an illusion.

The tall and short people in Rooms 1901 and 1903 were most likely completely contaminated, which is why they did not show any signs of struggle, but were completely controlled.

Thinking along this line of thinking, the short man in room 1903 who was completely controlled chose to put the alarm clock in the water tank. This behavior must be beneficial to him, which means that if the alarm clock is not placed in the water tank, it will be harmful to him. is disadvantageous.

Is the detection device still working normally?

The thought circled around again. If the detection device was still working normally, why didn't Peter hear any noise?

Schiller thought of another possibility, that is, everyone on the 19th floor, like the short man in room 1903, interfered with the alarm clock.

This is very possible. It is known that there are two forces fighting in the hotel. One is desperately contaminating the guests, and the other is trying to prevent the spread of contamination by setting up detection devices. Once the contamination is found to be too deep, the cleanup process will be initiated.

The result of the game between the two parties was that the latter obviously lost, because at the time Peter was there, there were still problems in the hotel, but peace had been restored on the surface, and the horrific pollution was hidden deeper.

Since the party that caused the contamination won, they must have a way to invalidate the detection device set up, and the way may be to put the alarm clock in the toilet water tank like in Room 1903.

It is now past 12 o'clock, and there is still no sound from Peter's side. The alarm clock in room 1903 is now in his hand instead of in the water tank, which proves that the alarm clock may be completely broken.

Alarm clock afraid of water?

No, it's probably not just water.

Schiller has been thinking that the toilet in room 1905 is broken. Is it really an accident? Whose toilet sprays water when you press the flush button? How can there be such a bad method?

The flush toilet has no device for spraying water. No matter how bad it is, it cannot install such a powerful water spray device out of thin air. This cannot be explained by a bad circuit at all.

Schiller can imagine that if people come here unprepared and hear that the toilet in room 1905 is broken, they may not touch it, but there is a certain possibility that they will check it, and then there is a greater chance that they will be sprayed all over. water.

If the guests in the hotel are polluted, there must be a source of pollution. The source of pollution contaminates the guests in the hotel through some kind of medium, and this medium is most likely water.

In the Cthulhu mythology system, water is a very important image. Let's put it this way. In any group game, as long as someone is described as dripping with water, don't hesitate, run away.

Although Schiller's target this time may be a certain outer god, from the perspective of conspiracy arrangement alone, water is also a very useful thing. Humans are naturally close to water sources and will not be too defensive against water. Even if they are splashed with water from the water tank, they will at most curse and change clothes, but they will not think of disinfection.

So the toilet is likely to be a trap, waiting for someone to check it, and then spraying the other person with water, so that they can be contaminated.

Although the specific situation in Room 1901 and Room 1903 is still unknown, Schiller speculates that these two guests may have been infected in this way, and at this point in time, they may not realize that they have been infected.

This is the terrible thing about the Cthulhu mythology system. It is more of a cognitive distortion of human pollution. For example, in Room 1901, the head is no longer on the neck, and he may still think that he is fine and wants to open the door to go out for breakfast.

Schiller immediately reminded Peter not to touch any device in the room that might produce water, but he knew it was a little late, because after Peter entered Room 1903, he took the alarm clock out of the water tank, and he had already touched the water at that time.

However, Schiller thought about it carefully and found some problems. If he was the mastermind behind all this, he would not deliberately make a broken toilet, because there must be someone who is not the kind of nosy person who would not touch it when he heard it was broken.

If water is the medium of pollution, then just wait for people to wash their hands or take a bath. Generally, even if guests who stay for two or three days do not take a bath, they must wash their hands. Even if they do not wash their hands, they must drink water.

So Schiller guessed that the source of this pollution may not be able to pollute all the water, or the water that can be polluted is not endless for him, so he has to use it sparingly.

It is similar to the sprinkler always being used in conjunction with the smoke alarm. If you really want to prevent fires, the sprinkler should work 24 hours a day to ensure that any flame can be extinguished, but that may affect normal life and waste water, so a detection device is installed to detect smoke and then spray water.

The working principle of this pollution medium is probably the same as these two things. It is not whoever touches the water will be polluted, but whoever does something will be sprayed with water.

For example, Schiller pressed the flush button of the toilet.

It is possible that when he did not press the flush button, he put his hand into the water tank or even into the toilet without being polluted. Only the wave of water sprayed out by pressing the flush button is problematic.

Schiller told Peter his guess, which made Peter feel a little relieved. He also secretly raised his vigilance in his heart and vowed that he would never touch anything in the future. If he could not touch anything, he would not touch it, and if he could avoid it, he would avoid it.

If the detection device is still working normally as Schiller guessed, then the most important thing for them now is to repair the alarm clock, but Schiller did not choose to do so.

Because it is obvious that Peter's 19th floor was basically hopeless at that time. No one else rang the alarm, but you rang it in your room. Everyone knew that you were an ordinary person. If Peter was besieged, Schiller could not save him now.

Then Schiller began to think again, why did he take the alarm clock out instead of leaving it in the room for Peter? This may be some measures he will take in the future.

Maybe it has something to do with the decreasing number of rings.

There were only two rings in the corridor on the right side of the 19th floor tonight, which means that someone in rooms 1901 and 1903 must have been completely finished.

And if the rings in the corridor on the right side and even the entire 19th floor became less and less, and only Schiller was left in the end, then Schiller would definitely be more inclined to throw the alarm clock out, otherwise he would face the same situation as Peter, that is, being targeted by these things on the 19th floor that are no longer human.

It is true that the detection device will act on the things in the room after it cannot detect the ringing sound, but at Peter's time, the people in rooms 1901 and 1903 were fine.

This means that the detection device must have started to fail at Schiller's time. Otherwise, if there was no sound in one person's room tonight, one person must have been completely eliminated, and Peter would not have been able to see both of them at the same time.

Inversely, the two people in rooms 1901 and 1903 must not be saved, otherwise they would not have appeared in normal posture at Peter's time.

No matter which one had a problem tonight, the other one would soon be gone, and it would definitely be too late to save people.

So Schiller chose to give up decisively and planned to go far away. At present, Peter did not know the situation in the left corridor. If the situation was good, there might be survivors in the left corridor. It would be better to pay attention to the two sounds in the left corridor.

Only two of the six rooms in the left corridor had sounds, which meant that the other four were also wiped out.

If Schiller was asked to guess which two of the six rooms had people in them, Schiller must first exclude 1913. This room was very wrong and it was unlikely that there were living people in it.

According to my own speculation, the last three rooms destroyed in the corridor on the right are 1901, 1903 and 1905, all of which are odd numbers. This means that some kind of supernatural phenomenon may appear according to the rule of odd and even numbers, and the odd-numbered rooms here have a higher survival rate.

Then the rooms on the left may also follow some rules. After excluding 1913, there are only two odd-numbered rooms left, namely 1907 and 1909.
