Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 331 Abnormal Hotel
After ending the call with Lao Qi, Chen Chuan used his phone to check the area and found from the relevant links that this incident was actually on the news yesterday, which is very rare.

You should know that Hongsheng District is the least concerned area in the central city. It is synonymous with old and backward. There are a large number of residents without citizenship living there, and it is full of gangs of all sizes. Even the city patrol team rarely comes here.

So this is one of the areas with the most ghost stories. In the past, the headquarters of the Golden Shrimp Team was set up here. However, the street with problems now is in the southeast of Hongsheng District, extending towards the city center. It may be because of this reason that it has attracted attention.

But according to his understanding, no matter how much attention this matter received, there was no hope of expecting anyone to resolve it. Even suppressing the news would be easier than this.

The occurrence of mass disappearances, if it is really a ghost story, means that it is becoming more powerful. If it is not dealt with now, it will soon cause even greater casualties.

He thought for a moment and decided to go and deal with it.

He prepared himself, put everything he might need, including ritual materials, into a bag, changed into casual clothes, went downstairs to get the car, and drove all the way to the place where the ghost story took place.

On the way, Lao Qi sent a photo of a missing colleague. It was a woman in her thirties with short hair, wearing glasses and a staff uniform. She looked very capable. The reason for her disappearance was that a client asked her to go to the hotel to find a list of guests who stayed there last year.

Since the price offered by the customer was very high, and judging from past experience, there was basically no danger as long as the customer did not stay in the hotel, colleague Lao Qi accepted the commission.

But I didn't expect that this hotel was no longer like before where I could just not stay in, but now I could only enter but not leave, and now I was trapped inside.

It’s just that it’s been ten days or half a month since this incident happened, so he is not optimistic about his colleague Lao Qi.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, he drove along the avenue to the area and found that someone had placed a bunch of obstacles in the middle of the road, but they did not completely block the spacious intersection.

He slowed down and drove through a gap on one side. Without obstacles, his vision became much clearer. The street was empty and it seemed as if he could see the end at a glance. Only some furtive figures could be seen in the corners of buildings and alleys.

They seemed to be some gang members, but he ignored them and drove straight inside and soon saw the hotel.

But he noticed that there was no parking space ahead, and the ground nearby was full of messy debris and garbage. Fortunately, there was an empty parking lot about a hundred meters away, so he parked the car here.

He got out of the car holding the Xuejun Knife, pushed the door shut, and walked towards the hotel.

I didn't feel anything unusual at first, but when I was about thirty or forty meters away, I began to show faint signs of becoming blurred.

"Hey, don't go in." At this time, a shout came from behind.

Chen Chuan stopped and turned to look somewhere. He saw a dirty-faced child on a residential building on one side of the street. He called out to him, but as he looked in the direction, the child retracted his head.

Lao Qi told him that there was no one here, but in fact when he came over, he could feel that many people were looking at him. Only when he walked around the hotel did the attention gradually decrease.

It makes sense if you think about it. How could ordinary people here give up their homes? The only ones who can afford to run away are probably those with a little wealth.

He turned around and said, "I'm here to solve this matter."

As he said this, he continued to walk forward, but after a while, just as he was about to enter the hotel door, the boy shouted again: "Don't solve it!"

Chen Chuan thought for a moment and roughly understood the idea behind this. This anomaly was certainly dangerous here, but perhaps because of this, few people came to exploit and control them. But if it was really a strange story, the scope would continue to expand, and those hiding here would sooner or later be involved.

Or wait until those who deal with the problem come. But compared to dealing with the problem, dealing with people is actually simpler and has the lowest cost. Without people, the ghost stories will naturally disappear.

He replied: "Stay where you are and don't move around."

As he spoke, he stepped onto the hotel stairs, and after a few steps he pushed open the glass door. Almost at the moment he stepped through the door, a strong sign of blurring appeared on my face.

After entering, he looked around and found that the hall was empty. The half-drawn curtains and the old chandelier were clean and dust-free, as if they had been carefully wiped, and the floor tiles were as smooth as a mirror.

The dining tables in the hall were neatly arranged, with guests' clothes on the backs of the chairs, and the bowls and chopsticks and the food on them seemed to have just been placed there. He also saw a half-cut cream cake, and he seemed to still be able to smell its sweet aroma.

But the problem is that the situation happened almost last month. With the current weather, it should have rotted after so many days, but it still looks fresh now.

He touched the lower realm, but under the strong influence of the virtualization, this thing could no longer be used. This was expected.

He first walked around the lobby on the first floor. Apart from the traces left by the guests, there was nothing else, so he went upstairs to take a look.

At this time, he found that the elevator was still lit and could be used, but he thought for a moment and did not go in, but walked up the stairs. Shortly after he entered the hotel, five cars drove into the street. The people in the cars had their hair dyed like moss, and they were obviously members of the Moss Gang.

After driving the car for a while, it stopped. The gang leader sitting in the front stood up and waved to the alley. Two people immediately ran out. He put a cigarette in his mouth and the younger brother beside him immediately lit it for him. He took a puff and asked, "Nothing happened these two days, right?"

The man replied, "Boss, those scumbags are very honest, no one dares to cause trouble, but just now a car went in, and it looked like it was heading for the hotel."

The gang leader was very surprised, "Is there really someone who wants to die in there?"

The younger brother next to him said, "Brother, it might be someone from the agency. Those guys are not afraid of death as long as they are paid enough."

The gang leader spat out of the car and sneered, "Who cares where he is from? If he wants to die, let him go. We must follow the instructions from the higher-ups and not let anyone in out." He pointed with his hand and said, "You guys, set up the roadblocks at the intersection."

"yes, Sir."

Watching the younger brothers busying themselves, a trusted gang member asked, "Brother, how long are we going to keep an eye on them?"

"At least two months."

The gang leader puffed out a cigarette leisurely and said, "A boxing match is about to be held in the city. Recently, many people from other central cities have flocked here. If there is a mess in this place, the municipal officials will be embarrassed. The boss said that as long as we keep an eye on this place, the brothers will all receive an activity fee afterwards."

The trusted younger brother looked at the twelve-story hotel in front of him. On this street, it was already one of the tallest buildings. He said, "Hey, brother, you said there's something wrong with that hotel. Can't we just blow up this building? Wouldn't that save a lot of trouble?"

The gang leader glanced at him and said, "Blow it up? Do you want to blow it up or should I? Didn't you hear others say that everyone who walked to the door went in as if they had lost their souls?"

"Is it so evil?"

"It's just so weird!" The gang leader smoked a cigarette and seemed to have discovered something. He called a few of his brothers and asked them to come over and take a look.

They arrived in front of the armored vehicle in the parking lot. The gang leader circled around it and said, "It's only been a few days and there's a new car? Some of you come and get it back."

At this time, a little brother suddenly saw a child opposite looking at him furtively, so he picked up the gun, aimed it, and fired a bang. The boy's head immediately retracted, and everyone laughed.

One of the younger brothers looked at the car and said, "Brother, this is the car of the person from the commissioning company. It seems that he is not an ordinary person to be able to take on such a job."

The gang leader said disdainfully: "Are you crazy? Can you survive in that hotel? Get rid of them quickly."

However, several of the younger brothers went up to tinker with it for a long time but could not find a way to start. One of them looked up and said, "Brother, this is a modified armored vehicle. The glass is thickened and bulletproof, and the lock is a heavy twist handle. We can't pry it open."

The gang leader didn't believe it, so he walked over to take a look at the car lock and couldn't help but swear, because the car lock in front of him was actually a rotating disk that was only two millimeters thick.

Youxing's modified car does not have a normal lock, but is modified according to its own characteristics. If your finger strength and power do not reach a certain level, don't think about twisting the lock open. Of course, it is no problem for Chen Chuan, he can open it with a casual turn, but ordinary people cannot hold it open without special tools.

"I still don't believe it. Damn it, go find a car to come over and tow it away."

Inside the hotel, Chen Chuan walked from the first floor to the twelfth floor and found that the rooms and corridors were all empty. The scene inside seemed to be frozen at a certain moment, and it seemed as if the owner had just left not long ago.

And from the moment he entered here, he had a feeling that he was being watched.

At this moment, he had been to almost all places, including the rooftop, but there was one place he had not checked, which was the basement floor of the entire building.

This is an old building and there is no underground garage. Judging from the schematic diagram, the basement should be the storage location for backup generators and cold storage.

He walked down from upstairs, pushed open two security doors, and went down to the basement.
