The 22nd floor of the Fair Hotel is not a simple design with a single corridor leading to the end, but it uses various turns and corners to scatter dozens of rooms in various corners of the floor. The signs indicating the rooms are hidden in the dim lighting, making the place seem confusing and disorienting.
Cautiously, Tiantian followed behind Xu Yintang, counting the vases and decorative paintings they passed, hesitating and hesitating. She couldn’t help but ask Xu Yintang, “Have we walked down this path before?”
“No,” Xu Yintang denied Tiantian’s suspicion, continuing to walk forward.
“But…” Tiantian looked left and right, always feeling that the corridor exuded a familiar feeling. This vase, this wall painting, and even the stain on this carpet seemed like things she had seen in the previous turn. She had to suspect that they had entered a maze. With this thought, Tiantian suddenly felt a chill running down her spine, and the backpack carrying her luggage suddenly felt unbearably heavy.
“Don’t overthink it; we’re on the right path,” Xu Yintang reassured her, not even looking back as he extended his hand to her. “If you’re really scared, just close your eyes and follow me.”
He had witnessed this little trick in the hospital. To ignore the distractions and walk ahead, keeping a steady pace, as long as the signs were correct, they would always reach their destination.
Xu Yintang, with his luggage in tow, walked briskly ahead. Tiantian took a few steps forward, grabbed his outstretched hand, and held it tightly. Because she was nervous, she held onto his hand quite firmly, causing Xu Yintang to raise an eyebrow and briefly shift his gaze to the slightly anxious girl behind him.
…
Following the signs, they turned the last corner, and at the end of the corridor was room 2201. Tiantian looked at the room after navigating through multiple twists and turns, feeling a sense of déjà vu. She suddenly blurted out, “The fire safety inspection of this hotel must have failed.”
Tiantian’s words surprised him, and she continued, “That is, do you think this scenario might be related to a fire? Like, there was a sudden fire, and people couldn’t escape, leading to many deaths, and now it’s haunted or something…”
Her speculative thoughts lacked evidence, but Xu Yintang thought it was a direction worth considering. He suggested, “We should look for relevant clues later. Do you want to inform the others?”
All of them had their phones in their belongings. Xu Yintang felt that it would be a good opportunity for Tiantian to learn how to send messages, just as they exchanged phone numbers earlier.
Tiantian hesitated but agreed, saying, “Yes, I’ll tell Huahua later.”
Once she sent the message, they started searching room 2201.
Xu Yintang asked Tiantian to begin by checking her belongings and the luggage in her backpack. Meanwhile, he started examining the room from the inside out, starting with the bathroom near the entrance.
The bathroom and the bedroom were immaculate, with nothing out of the ordinary except for its size. Xu Yintang lingered for a while on the soft and bouncy mattress, feeling the fluffy texture of the pillows and bedding. He made a mental note to take a set with him when they left.
It was only when he reached the balcony that he noticed a flaw in the hotel’s otherwise perfect cleanliness. The coffee table had a groove, and he found a few dried bloodstains there. Following the trail, he noticed that the cracks in the marble tiles were filled with dark and red substances, like blood oozing from beneath the floor.

“Hehe,” “hehe”…
Xu Yintang heard a raspy and eerie moaning sound, which seemed to scratch at his nerves with every utterance.
The sound was so close, and he could even clearly feel something moving at his feet. Something sticky and slippery had grabbed his ankle, and in an instant, his pockets filled with hungry and restless cubs sensed the scent of food, and they stirred restlessly.
In the blink of an eye, he was forcefully pushed back into the other world.
Xu Yintang looked around and found no blood puddles, no sounds, and nothing unusual. He comforted the two cubs that had been so close to a meal and then used his fingertips to wipe away the stains from the floor cracks, trying to recreate the approximate location and shape of the bloodstains he had seen.
At first glance, the dragged trail appeared to be the result of someone dragging a body from the balcony, but combining it with the other bloodstains in the vicinity and what he had heard, it was more likely that someone, bleeding, had crawled slowly from the balcony towards the bedroom.
Xu Yintang half-knelt on the ground to compare the position of the knees and hands and concluded that the person’s body was much smaller than his own, similar to Tiantian, who was crouching over there.
If there was a ghost in this room, it was likely the spirit of this person who had died and transformed. And judging by Little Darling’s heightened interest in the scent that was driving him crazy, it was probably a good one.
Xu Yintang wiped his hands and patted his knees, then stood up and walked over to Tiantian. “Did you find anything?” he asked.
“I’m not sure if this counts…” She saw Xu Yintang approaching and instinctively covered something she had taken out of her backpack. Realizing it was a futile attempt, she felt a bit foolish and adjusted her hair awkwardly. She then gestured to the item on the floor, allowing Xu Yintang to see for himself.
Placed at the top is a sexy black lace bra, with a few thin dresses with strap cutouts next to it, along with mosaic items that cannot be described without censorship.
Xu Yintang blinked at these things, picked up a cute little pink round rubber item from among them—
Hmm…
“What is this?” he asked Tiantian, somewhat perplexed. Don’t get it wrong, he had no ulterior motives, purely a matter of encountering a blind spot in knowledge.
Xu Yintang didn’t know where those cloth scraps were supposed to go, but he understood that they must be girls’ clothes. As for the subtly shaped plastic silicone products, he really had never heard of them.
“Um…” Tiantian covered her face and crouched down on the ground, like when the police knocked on the door during an anti-pornography and anti-illegal campaign, feeling so ashamed that she almost sprouted an entire living room from her toes.
What kind of social death scene was this?
Tiantian hadn’t even had a first love, and her naive and ignorant teenage heart was already becoming inappropriate for the cool and handsome male teammate.
Tiantian’s face contorted into expressions suitable for reaction images. No need for further explanation, and Xu Yintang also understood that he didn’t have anything serious in his hands. He cleared his throat and held back his amusement, calmly changing the topic: “Our luggage should be related to the roles we drew. What’s your role hint?”
Tiantian continued to crouch in the corner, feeling like she was being targeted in an anti-pornography and anti-illegal campaign. “The character prompt is, [What’s the rush, honey? Wait for me to finish my last transaction.]”
“So, this is definitely not anything legitimate, right?… Oh my, am I already starting a career in special occupations now? Help! I’m only twenty, I haven’t even played the role of a naive and innocent female lead properly. I still want to pick up a sweet puppy to experience my first sweet love with.”
“It’s just a role, don’t mind it,” Xu Yintang said with a smile, patting her hair, and then said seriously, “I also noticed something on the balcony, this room likely had a death occur in it.”
He roughly described to Tiantian the scene he had just seen. The excitement of blood-red and murky stimuli overshadowed the excitement of the social death scene. Tiantian was made to feel like there was a creepy ghost staring at her from behind, and she nervously scanned the surroundings, her goosebumps rising on her arms.
“Then, then, let’s leave quickly,” she said, putting the things on the ground back into her backpack, and couldn’t help but worry about her good friend Huahua on the other side.
I hope Huahua’s luggage is okay.
Half an hour later, several people gathered in Xiao Qing’s room.
Huahua couldn’t help but laugh as she listened to Tiantian’s narration and waved her hand, saying, “No, here, my luggage just contains some clothes.”
She pointed to her suitcase placed in the corner, which had a few sets of ordinary casual clothes and a laptop. The clothes were just regular, with nothing that appeared to be related to her character.
Old Wang didn’t bring much either, just a basic change of clothes and a well-made suit. Xiao Qing traveled the lightest of all, not even carrying a bag, just a pack of cigarettes and a lighter in his coat pocket.
Now the pressure was on Xu Yintang.
His suitcase was the largest among all of them, and Xiao Qing jokingly said it could fit him if he folded himself a bit — a rather cold joke that made Tiantian take three steps back from Xu Yintang’s suitcase, fearing that a corpse might jump out when it was opened. She had encountered a situation like that before, with a giant zombie nearly biting her nose.
Xu Yintang glanced at Xiao Qing, who seemed quite interested in his suitcase, and said indifferently, “Why don’t you do the honors?”
“Can I?” Xiao Qing dragged Xu Yintang’s suitcase over and began to tinker with the seemingly complex locks on top.
Although he appeared casual, his movements were cautious when opening the suitcase. He first unlocked about half of the latches, then pressed down on the lid while peering inside the gap. He paused when he looked into the suitcase and let out a surprised sound.
“Wow.”
“I didn’t expect this!”
Xiao Qing beckoned to the other teammates, and with all eyes on him, he slowly opened the suitcase.
“Well…” Tiantian looked at Xu Yintang’s luggage, then back at him, patting her handsome teammate’s shoulder and reassuring him, “It’s just a role, don’t worry.”
Don’t get the wrong idea, there was no corpse inside the suitcase.
It was just a silicone doll.
Yep, just what you’re thinking.
Author’s Note –
Cubs: Don’t rush to leave! Stay and play, have a meal before you go!
