Tong Qian observed a pattern: supernatural phenona occur at the Kaiser Hotel at 10 PM.
At this mont, Yang Jian, Li Yang, and the others were prepared and waiting for the supernatural phenona to appear. Only by confirming the situation here can they determine whether this hotel is dangerous.
Ti passed little by little.
"It's almost 10 PM, 15 seconds left... ti's up." Li Yang looked at his watch, keeping track of the ti, and imdiately reminded them when the ti arrived.
As soon as he finished speaking.
The Kaiser Hotel, which was originally shrouded in darkness, suddenly lit up at this mont. All the lights here turned on, becoming incredibly bright. The sudden intensity of the light was a bit overwhelming for them, causing them to squint.
Then.
Astonishing changes happened all around them.
The Kaiser Hotel, which had been sealed for a long ti and filled with dust and a dark, decayed atmosphere, suddenly beca majestic and splendid.
Sleek and bright floor tiles, dazzling lights, spotless walls, brand-new carpets... everything seed to have returned to the day the Kaiser Hotel just finished its renovations and officially opened.
Everything was so clean and tidy, completely unlike before.
"Is this the anomaly of the Kaiser Hotel?" Yang Jian squinted slightly, using his ghost eyes to peer through the illusion and seek out the real pictures.
However, in the view of the ghost eyes, everything still appeared the sa, with no change.
This indicated that everything here was not an illusion but was real.
"This phenonon will appear after 10 PM, not just in the lobby, but inside the rooms as well, transforming into the previous hotel arrangents. The bed, furniture, and decor will all look brand new, though only temporarily. As soon as dayti arrives, everything will revert back." Tong Qian said.
Yang Jian asked, "Will everything here end at 4 AM tomorrow morning?"
"Yes, that's correct." Tong Qian affird with a nod.
"Li Yang, have you discovered anything?" Yang Jian turned to ask.
Li Yang squinted slightly: "10 PM to 4 AM spans exactly six hours, but if we delay this period by two hours, we can discover a special tifra from 12 AM to 6 AM, which sowhat resembles the Ghost Post Office's turning-off-the-light ti period."
"Ghost Post Office turns off its lights at 6 PM and turns them back on at 6 AM," Yang Jian said.
"Captain, I feel this pattern is very similar. Suppose the correct tifra here is turning on lights at 12 AM and off at 6 AM; does this change around the light-off signify a supernatural appearance?" Li Yang said, "Earlier, I looked through so archive materials in Dadong City, isn't there an old pendulum clock in Wang Chaling's family mansion?"
"That thing can manipulate ti; I suspect the Kaiser Hotel's ti was manipulated or influenced by sothing supernatural, bringing it back to a certain point in ti from back then."
"An interesting hypothesis, the manipulated-ti Kaiser Hotel? You believe the ti here is inaccurate, and this imbalance is the reason?" Yang Jian asked.
"It's just a bold conjecture of mine."
Li Yang said: "Otherwise, how can we explain everything in the hotel becoming brand new and real? Didn't Tong Qian say before that she heard sounds of people eating and talking here, as if activities were going on?"
"These should be reminiscent sounds from when the hotel was operational, but the appearance of such phenona also signals one thing: sothing has been running out of those rooms long ago, just trapped within the Kaiser Hotel at the wrong ti, now continuously reviving or resetting, seeking a way out."
"There's so logic in that." Yang Jian said: "However, every supernatural occurrence has a source. Find it, and many things can be clarified."
"Co with for a walk around the new hotel; I want to see what sets Kaiser Hotel apart at night."
The two nodded in agreent.
The three of them once again set out, starting from the lobby to explore the place. Thischapter'struesourceisMyVirtualLibraryEmpire(*).
But there was no spiritual interference here; Yang Jian's ghost eyes saw everything as normal. However, after wandering around in circles, they found themselves again in front of the fourth-floor corridor.
Sothing inexplicable happened.
The door was gone.
The golden door Yang Jian used to seal off this supernatural passage had disappeared, leaving that eerie passage open again before their eyes.
They had reached a familiar location, yet didn't encounter familiar things.
"How is this possible? The supernatural can't affect gold; how could that door disappear?" Tong Qian was exceedingly shocked.
Yang Jian squinted his eyes: "Perhaps it's not the door that disappeared, but us. Li Yang's conjecture has so truth. Although we are still inside the Kaiser Hotel, we might no longer be in the familiar Kaiser Hotel. Therefore, the golden door should still exist, just not within this Kaiser Hotel."
"Were we reset? Or in a wrong ti? Anything is possible; many supernatural phenona I cannot explain myself."
"But if this is true, the passage can't be sealed, as there may be countless passages, each opened, all leading to the Kaiser Hotel and connecting outside. The outside blockage is just one of them."
Tong Qian said: "Like a book with countless pages? We are just on one page, each page can access the outside."
"Nicely described. I believe that's the case. Hang on; I heard sothing." Yang Jian suddenly gestured and swiftly turned to look around.
The corridor behind was empty, with only a passageway carpeted floor.
But footsteps were rapidly approaching.
"Just footsteps, this is a supernatural phenonon of the Kaiser Hotel, quite normal, I've heard footsteps and voices many tis, nothing special." Tong Qian said.
"Really? But I'm not referring to the footsteps outside, but the ones over there." Yang Jian gestured with his hand.
It was the bend at the corridor's end.
Three blurred footprints were left in the middle of that entrance, sowhat wet, yet partly darkened.
Yang Jian imdiately headed over, yet as soon as he arrived, the footprints on the floor began fading away, seemingly unable to remain, the traces becoming blurry, but a cursory glance sufficed to identify the owner of those footprints.
"The footprints were left by that tall male corpse; only the footprints of that vengeful spirit are so uniquely dark and rotten, as if corpse water is continuously dribbling down."
Yang Jian's eyes moved slightly, imdiately scanning around.
No one was around, nor was the vengeful spirit, no more footprints appeared on the floor.
"Though footprints are erased, they should remain for a while; now there are none, the only possible explanation is..." Yang Jian glanced at the nearest room.
Room 401.
This was a guestroom on the fourth floor of the Kaiser Hotel.
Li Yang imdiately reacted, promptly reaching the room's door, extending a skinny, aged, eerie arm, sowhat stiffly grasping the doorknob, then looked at Yang Jian: "Captain, should I open the door?"
He wielded the door-opening curse.
Once the door is opened, anyone inside inevitably dies; even vengeful spirits face imdiate suppression.
"Open the door," Yang Jian instantly responded.
Li Yang quickly invoked the sinister curse of the Door-Opening Ghost.
The next mont.
The calm room door quivered suddenly, the surrounding lights flickered, as if hindered by sothing preventing quick opening.
Li Yang widened his eyes slightly, his pupils involuntarily shrinking.
The curse of the Door-Opening Ghost, known for its peril, can be resisted.
But the resistance was montary, only just past, the supernatural presence within the room faced suppression, the resisting sensation dwindling.
Then, the door opened.
Inside was completely dark, nothing could be seen.
But as the inner lights abruptly flickered, they could see inside finally.
It was an old-fashioned room, utterly out of sync with modern decor, simply furnished, bearing the feeling of ti.
"A supernatural room..." Before Yang Jian could finish.
The room's lights flickered once more.
The old supernatural room vanished, turning back into a modern guestroom inside, no longer old and eerie.
"What happened? Was that just an illusion?" Li Yang ponderously looked at Yang Jian, then at Tong Qian.
Tong Qian said: "Not an illusion, I saw it too."
