Xiaoqing said "Oh", took over the boss's job, put on a business smile, and served the next guest.

The proprietress came to the door of Room 305. She closed her eyes and the layout of the room appeared in her mind.

She seemed to see a young girl lying on the ground, bloodless, with brown spots and lumps falling on the wool carpet she had carefully selected -

No! Absolutely impossible!

She stopped her unreasonable imagination, took a deep breath, calmed her restless heartbeat, and mustered up the courage to raise her hand and knock on the door.

"Hello, sir. Are you in there?"

There was no sound behind the white high-end wooden door, it was extremely quiet.

A feeling of uneasiness spread in her heart, and she felt more and more that what the staff said might be true.

No way, her hotel has only been open for more than ten years, and was renovated just last year, so a murder case wouldn't happen just like that...

She couldn't stop thinking about it since it came up, and she had already assumed that there was a human corpse inside.

She wanted to back out, but when she thought about the money she had just invested in decoration, she calmed down a lot.

She asked again: "Guest, guest in room 305, are you still in there? Are you okay?"

At this time, a black vortex was forming in 305. It slowly rotated and expanded, forming a black hole half the size of a person.

The boss's wife knocked on the door more and more urgently, even alarming the tenant next door.

The guest asked the landlady what happened. She tried to wave her hand with a not-so-nice smile on her face, and said that she would speak more quietly and try not to disturb other travelers' rest.

But her behavior had already made him suspicious. Although the guests in several nearby rooms agreed verbally and went back to their rooms and closed the door, they left a crack in the door to keep an eye on any movement here.

The feeling of uneasiness had spread from the proprietress to the entire floor.

The reason why the landlady was so anxious to find someone, in addition to the fact that the person in Room 305 might owe rent, was also very likely that the person had run away.

or……

They suddenly thought of something in the room and looked at each other immediately, seeing fear in each other's eyes.

Could it be...

——Someone must be dead in there!

When this idea came out, everyone couldn't help but shudder.

Living next door to a dead person?

No way!

impossible!

As the proprietress knocked on the door more and more impatiently, everyone's heart was in their throat.

Finally, the young couple next door couldn't stand this kind of mental torture anymore, and the girl took the initiative to come out. She asked cautiously: "Boss...what happened?"

The proprietress coughed lightly and a smile that looked a little forced appeared on her face.

She tried her best to look more natural. She said, "I'm sorry to bother you. I have something to tell the guest in Room 305. I'll speak more quietly..."

But her words were obviously not credible, and the boy in the young couple also stuck his head out of the room and looked in the direction of the boss.

The boss had a perfect smile on her face, but her slightly nervous eyes and slightly furrowed brows showed that something was obviously scaring her.

The boy rolled his eyes, blinked, and asked the question that everyone here was wondering.

"Madam Boss, could it be... that someone is dead in there?"

"Well!"

"No way... No, I'm scared..."

"What should we do? It seems like we are living in a haunted house..."

The whispers from the surrounding rooms spread into the corridor, and an atmosphere of uneasiness and anxiety enveloped everyone.

When the proprietress heard this, she was still trying to hide her embarrassment, but her smile had begun to distort.

The corners of her mouth that were raised had slowly flattened, and it seemed difficult to maintain the upward movement.

After the fear and worry in her eyes were revealed, they gradually grew bigger.

She couldn't deceive herself anymore...

For the first time, the proprietress ignored the other passengers and turned back anxiously to knock on the door.

Her movements became more and more rapid. The sound of knocking on the door struck everyone's heart, and even their heartbeats gradually quickened with the sound of knocking on the door.

"Guest, guest from Room 305, are you still there?"

"Madam, why don't you just take the key and open the door and have a look..."

"Yes, open the door."

The proprietress's hand unconsciously reached into her pocket, where a universal door card lay quietly.

This is a universal key that only hotel owners, managers and cleaners carry with them in case travelers forget to bring their room cards during their travels and need their help.

Sure, she could open the door right now, but—

She was afraid that the scene she would face the moment she opened the door would be unforgettable for the rest of her life.

As if seeing her hesitation, the little boy who had just spoken took two steps forward and stopped beside the proprietress.

He asked, "Madam, are you scared?"

The proprietress could no longer maintain the smile on her face and nodded heavily.

If things were really as she thought, then there would be no way to deceive everyone here.

In that case, it is better to confess as soon as possible.

A trace of struggle flashed in the little boy's eyes. He took a deep breath and suddenly took another step closer to the proprietress.

"Or, let me do it!"

The proprietress was stunned. Looking at the boy in front of her who was only in his twenties, she finally shook her head.

This is the hotel's business, and as the proprietress she should take the responsibility.

She mustered up her courage and took out the universal room card from her pocket.

She placed the room card on the sensor, and the door made a pleasant welcoming sound, followed by the sound of the door lock turning.

——The door is open!

A black hole had just formed behind the door, and a leg was stepping out from it...

"Open the door, Madam."

"Um……"

The proprietress encouraged herself, she took a long breath, and slowly opened the door...

There was no strange smell in the room, and the scent of rose fragrance penetrated into her nostrils, refreshing her.

It definitely wouldn't smell like this if someone died.

But...if her air conditioning is turned down low enough, it can indeed slow down the decomposition of the body...

She lowered her head and her eyes fell on the wool carpet.

No, there was no blood, everything was clean, just like when the guests had not checked in.

even--

Too clean...

But at least it was much better than what she had imagined at first.

She finally pushed the door open with her eyes closed. The exclamations and screams she had imagined did not appear, so she slowly opened her eyes.

The room was clean and tidy, there was no corpse, nor...

people?

Suddenly, there was the sound of running water in the bathroom.

Inside the frosted glass, the light shines on the woman's soft and smooth figure, outlining a perfect outline.

She played with her scattered hair, as if she was about to clean the black waterfall.

The woman inside heard the sound of the door opening and quickly pulled up the bathrobe beside her to cover her body. Her somewhat nervous voice came from inside.

"Who? Who's coming in?"

After hearing this, the proprietress's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

It’s a person, the person inside is a person.

The boy who came in with the proprietress had already turned around and left with a red face. The other passengers who had been watching what was happening in the corridor were also slightly relieved and returned to their rooms.

"Hello, guest. I'm the boss. I'm sorry to bother you. To express our apology, our hotel is willing to waive your room fee for two days. Do you think it's acceptable?"

The woman inside seemed to hesitate for a moment. She had already put on her bathrobe. She did not accept it immediately, but asked, "Boss, what's the matter with you coming in?"

"Oh, it's like this. We wanted to confirm how long you would like to rent this house. But I knocked on the door and you didn't respond. I was worried that you might have an emergency, so I opened the door without permission. I'm really sorry."

"Oh, I see... I was in the shower so I didn't hear it. I'll check with you later."

"Oh, okay! Sorry to bother you, I wish you a pleasant journey."

The boss gently closed the door for Qin Jiu, she let out a long sigh, turned around and left.

It's all that boy's fault! He made her think too much! He scared her to death!

When Qin Jiu heard the boss close the door, she smiled at the two war beasts who were still in the bathtub with their eyes open to pay attention to the situation outside, "Okay, come out."
