Chapter 10: . Willow

When the mummy tremblingly poked his head out of the quilt, what he saw was this scene—
The two young men still had surprise on one face. And the other girl standing beside him, carrying a stainless steel pipe, was gently tapping into the palm of her hand.
"Frankly be lenient," she said coldly, "resistance is strict."
"..."
Geng Qinghe, who was on the side, felt that his painting style was not right.
The protagonist has become a villain with a good style of painting.
He boldly looked at the shriveled corpse. The flesh on the opponent's face had fallen out of sight, the cheekbones were high, and only a few strands of sparse hair remained on the top of his head.
Although it's better than skinny, it looks cramped enough.
At this moment, in the deep-set eye sockets, the eyeballs close to the eyelids slowly turned to look in their direction, and the evil inside became more and more serious
"I'm recruiting!" Once Eugene Melville quickly estimated the strength of the two sides, and said hoarsely, "I'm all recruiting!"
Geng Qinghe: "……………………"
What about ambition? ! !
Lin You didn't think it was any surprise, she just slapped the stainless steel pipe that was newly removed from the mop to the side. Judging by the virtue of this mummy before his death and the behavior of staying here for so long after his death, he might be the bottom of the food chain in the hotel.
"This diary is yours?" She shook the little book.
"Yes, yes," probably because of the decay of the vocal cords, the folklorist's voice was indescribably sharp in the low hoarseness, "It's mine."
"I'm cooperating with them," he explained honestly.
"They are responsible for killing and offering sacrifices, and I will improve them."
"What to perfect?" Lin You asked.
"—Of course it was the ceremony. They had what they wanted," Melville said. "It just so happened that I didn't have the opportunity to practice my research. At the time I thought it was a win-win situation."
"Since it is what I want," Geng Qinghe's eyes wandered, "why did the boss suddenly change her attitude?"
Melville made a "grumbling" noise in his throat.
"Because the ceremony was successful, but the stupid woman found it was different from what she had imagined."
His eyes were both frightened and refreshing, "Then? Then she actually wanted to burn the house and our fruits on fire, and they would kill them!"
Lin You keenly noticed the information in his words, "They?"
When she read the diary, she felt a little weird, and suddenly she realized the source of the sense of violation.
When referring to the death of the boss’s wife and saying "they killed her", Melville must have not counted herself in, that is to say, there is at least one other person besides him and the boss and his wife.
"For a while, Langton and they thought they couldn't do it by themselves," Melville said. "They hired another girl to be a maid-she actually did everything together."
"But, what do you want to do with this?"
He said: "It's impossible to get out anyway."
Speaking of the end, Melville actually laughed out loud, and he almost laughed so loudly. Looking at his crazy and determined attitude, Lin You couldn't help but glance at Geng Qinghe.
At this moment, a scream came from a distance.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"
The two of them looked at the top of the sound. Lin You immediately reacted to something. She looked at the bed again, and it was empty, as if a certain folklorist had never appeared.
She "cut".
"Running quite fast."
"I knew I didn't watch it," Geng Qinghe was upset, "I should watch him more."
"It's okay."
Lin Youdao.
"Anyway, I can't ask more about his attitude anyway, now go and see what's going on upstairs."
As for what he said it was impossible to get out, Lin You didn't care at all. It will not be a dead end, a solution can always be found.
Going up the stairs to the second floor, they saw that everyone was gathering on the other side of the corridor, surrounded by the girl who had been pulling her boyfriend before.
Lin You still remembered that her name was Wang Yan.
There were obvious signs of crying in her eyes, and her emotions were calmer. Looking at this situation, it is not difficult to guess who the scream is from.
Lin You noticed that there was no one here.
"What's the matter?" she asked.
"I can't go up to the fourth floor, the door is locked." Liang Yong said, "We asked them to search the third floor separately with us, and then—"
"We just entered an empty room..."
Wang Yan said intermittently: "Hearing there was movement outside, and then seeing it was a crawling... crawling thing, he pushed me away and rushed up."
As for her boyfriend who is not present, the ending is self-evident.
The only good news is that "Box" will force a copy of the player when it determines that the player is dead. If his teammate clears the level, he can get experience rewards that match his progress. Of course, if it were all wiped out, everyone would be empty-handed.
Therefore, everyone, including Wang Yan, knows what the urgent task is.
"Do you see what that thing looks like?" Lin You asked.
"We passed by when we heard the sound," Chen Jun said. "I saw it while covering her running together. I didn't see the details, but it seemed to be wearing an apron."
Apron...
Since no one raised the sound of water, those eight achievements were not the boss's wife. Lin You remembered what Melville had said, "It may be a maid hired by this hotel before."
The cause of death may be the same as Melville, it was Mrs. Langton's revenge. But unlike a certain corpse who had no power to bind a chicken, this girl also became a ghost after death.
Wang Yan: "Female, maid?"
"Ah, yes," she simply pulled out the diary and shook it. "We found this, and it says something that happened here before."
Liang Yong took the book, flipped through it quickly, and said in doubt: "But there was never a maid."
"This," Lin You said calmly, "We saw the owner of this diary, and we sat down and chatted with him friendly."
Qi Lanlan stammered: "Friends, friendly friends?"
"Ok."
Lin You nodded, "Friendly."
The kind of friendliness of two-on-one holding a steel tube.
Everyone looked at her like a ghost, and then at Geng Qinghe who decided to remain silent. With the latter's posture of obediently standing on the side, it was easy to see who was the main envoy, so the shocked eyes turned back to Lin You again.
In the last paragraph of the diary, it can be seen that Eugene Melville died in the hands of a vengeful evil spirit. Who knows what he is now, she actually...
Should it be said that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers?
Geng Qinghe saw the meaning of their eyes. He thought about the whole process he had witnessed, and then looked at someone who was still smiling harmlessly. He said that he was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger!
"I want to go to the third floor now," Lin You announced, "Is there anyone here?"
Everyone looked at each other.
The three of Liang Yong had seen the maid transformed into a ghost. At this moment, the thoughts were ignited and the other two were even more impossible.
"I--I'll go too!" After struggling for a long time, Geng Qinghe answered.
Although he still takes care of it, he feels that following along is the right choice.
"It's better to stay in the hall until morning."
Liang Yong persuaded: "Isn't that more insurance?"
"I am more tortured by curiosity than insurance is not insured." Lin You shrugged, "The fourth floor is locked, indicating that there must be the final answer."
Besides, there is no guarantee that everything will be fine in the morning. And if you want to escape, when the doors and windows cannot be broken, the fourth floor that leads to the roof is the only option.
Seeing her persuasion, he couldn't persuade him, Liang Yong had to give up, he shook his head and sighed.
What a beautiful girl, how can she be obsessed with death.
Sure enough, he is still a newcomer.

"This is the empty room Wang Yan said?"
All the way upstairs, I was terrified. When I finally stood in front of the room, Geng Qinghe didn't see the trace of the female ghost, so he was so relieved.
Lin You: "Sure."
Even the doors are open, and out of every ten, nine out of ten are too eager to close. There are blood stains on the ground that the beach has dried up soon, and I know who it is after thinking about it.
"This room is the same as that of the innkeeper on the first floor," she said, looking around for a week. "There is no house number, no electronic lock, probably the maid's room."
"Remember what the folklorist said about her?"
"Uh, he said..." Geng Qinghe recalled, "Even the dirty work of murder was followed?"
"Correct."
Lin You snapped his fingers.
"So the couple should trust her very much. Since there is no key to the fourth floor on the first floor, the most likely place to hide is here-even if it's just a backup key."
Geng Qinghe's eyes lit up.
"What are you waiting for—"
"jingle."
This voice sounded almost at the same time as him.
There was silence in the room.
"Dingling," the crisp sound rang twice, one closer than the other, "dingling."
There was also Geng Qinghe, who had not stepped into the door of the room, and turned his head stiffly, watching the corner of the corridor where a woman's face protruded from below.
She smiled unnaturally, and her facial features were distorted by the large arc. Limbs twisted and fell on the ground as if they were broken. Rao is so, but her crawling movements are fast.
He was wearing an apron.
But on the side of the apron, what attracts the most attention at this moment is the bunch of keys that keep emitting crackling sounds.
However, Lin You made a decisive decision without knowing what seconds the opponent took to lose a teammate.
"run!"
Geng Qinghe was convinced of her words to a certain level long ago, and ran away before she finished her words.
Lin Youxin, who hurriedly caught up with him, said that this speed was no wonder she could go out directly in the rookie.
She took the time to look back, and there was still a delay when she went out, and the maid was about to catch up.
Lin You slammed her heart and pushed directly on Geng Qinghe's back.
She didn't even care about the other party being pushed by her, and rushed forward several steps along the inertia. She was hugged by her shins, and she lost her balance and fell on the ground.
The moment Lin You fell, what Lin You thought turned out to be fortunately that there was a carpet padded this time.
In the next second, she conditioned her head, and the maid’s long sharp nails rubbed her ears into the carpet.
In return, she bent her knees and pressed them heavily on the other's stomach.
The maid snorted, and didn't know what she was yelling vaguely, the pale face smiled more and more distorted
Then he was beaten off balance with a horizontal punch.
Geng Qinghe, who had gone back and forth, was trembling in his teeth, but he couldn't lose his chance and never came back. He quickly grabbed the wrist of his teammate with his eyesight and hands. Lin You's reaction was quick enough. She took advantage of her strength to break away from the maid. She got up and rushed to the corner in the opposite direction when the maid came.
There is another room that is unlocked like the empty room.
Fortunately, there are too many cleaning supplies for the hotel in the stairwell, and it is not too crowded to stand with two people.
Ascending into the stairwell with only a dim yellow light on, the two held their breath and waited for the rubbing of the carpet to pass by the door-they didn't seem to notice them hiding here.
"Oh," Lin You laughed when the voice disappeared completely, "I'm pretty bold this time."
"Okay, okay, don't tease me."
Geng Qinghe still looked bitter, "What should I do now, how can I get the key from her?"
"Yes--"
Lin You also sighed, "What can I do now"
She stretched out her hand, her index finger hooked the bunch of keys that had been hung on the maid's waist and turned around in front of Geng Qinghe's eyes, making him look straight.
God knows how she got here in just ten seconds.
"Now that the key is in hand," Lin You raised an eyebrow.
"gone."
