Chapter 17 Fanwai Ghost Shop

The interpretation of the word hotel can be traced back to thousands of years ago, generally speaking, it is a place for guests to rest and eat.It is strange that hotels, hospitals, prisons, and schools are always referred to as the four places that are prone to haunting. Perhaps this stems from the mutual vigilance between people coming and going and strangers, which is easy to breed a dark side! This is about a well-known haunted hot spring hotel.It seems bizarre, but who knows what is the more terrifying cause and effect hidden in it? Human memory is said to have an automatic purification function. As time goes by, it will gradually filter out bad memories and subconsciously render the good parts.That's why I say that the first love that ends without a disease is beautiful, because it is not available, and it is beautified by time and myself, but how long can this first love last?

Maybe one day when you are walking down the street and see your first love whom you have longed for for a long time, he is potbellied and overweight; when she is a slovenly yellow-faced woman with a slovenly appearance, will your feelings be hurt? Because of distance, people's thinking will become very strange, so it is said that distance produces beauty, but many things will not disappear due to the passage of time. For example, this place called Bencao International Hot Spring Hotel has a bad reputation nearby, and the locals are even more reluctant to get close to it. It is said that there used to be some dirty things inside, and they are still lingering in every corner of the hotel.

Ouyang Yu was hired to work in the hotel yesterday, and she was urged to get up by the phone call from the supervisor before she woke up. She looked at the alarm clock in the room, it was three o'clock in the morning, but she only slept for four hours.She washed up briefly and walked out of the dormitory. There is a tree-lined road in front of the door, the trees are very dense, and the dim street lights are only dark enough to distinguish the road. Ouyang Yu's high-heeled shoes stepped on the stone floor, making an empty echo.There was no one around, and she looked up at the sky, but saw nothing.The thick leaves covered everything, only the wind was blowing from nowhere, disturbing the leaves all over the ground.

The sound of "rustling" leaves was terrifying, Ouyang Yu couldn't help hugging her arms, feeling a little chilly.She quickened her pace, walking at the limit frequency that her high heels could bear, and finally saw the landmark building of the hotel, which was an oval-shaped building with a height of three floors. The owner of Bencao International Hot Spring Hotel is a Singaporean. Because of the abundant hot spring resources found in the suburbs of Jiangyang City, the owner spent hundreds of millions to buy hundreds of acres of land to build this four-star hot spring hotel.

There are more than 100 hot spring pools, large and small, with different functions in the hotel. Usually there are few people, but during the holidays, there will be more tourists.It’s just that for some reason, even if Laoguan offers a high salary that is 20% higher than the average salary of his peers, employees often leave for no reason, so there are often recruits here. Ouyang Yu applied for the high salary. He was worried that the HR department would look down on him because he had no work experience, but he didn't expect that the hotel supervisor didn't even take a look at the diploma he respectfully handed over. She stayed.

It seems that there is a long-term shortage of manpower here, and it really is not a rumor. Last night, the manager of the personnel department asked him to bring his luggage and allocated a dormitory to her.The accommodation conditions are not bad, there are only four girls in the space of more than ten square meters.The manager also politely asked her to familiarize herself with the environment first, and then assign her work at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. However, the work came faster than I imagined. Ouyang Yu sighed secretly. Although the hotel is located in the outskirts of the city, it is so deserted that even the locals are reluctant to come here at night.The hotel at midnight is as scary as a ghost town.

Pausing for a moment in front of the gate, she straightened her clothes before stepping into the hall. The manager of the personnel department paced anxiously, and heaved a long sigh of relief when he saw Ouyang Yu come in. "From today, you will work in the hall first." The manager is very young, only in his thirties, with a neat suit and the handsomeness of a mature man.He gave Ouyang Yu a few words to complete the handover work, so he left in a hurry. The hall is resplendent and magnificent, and the decoration is extremely luxurious.However, with the hotel's expensive charging standards, in fact, such a level of decoration is nothing.

Ouyang Yu walked to the counter, and the girl who was on the night shift with her nodded at her, smiling sweetly. "Fortunately, I have someone to accompany me at last." The girl blinked her eyes with relief, "Hello, my name is Guan Lin." "Ouyang Yu." Ouyang Yu walked into the counter, cleaned up the right side habitually, and then sat down. "Your name is very martial arts!" Guan Lin talked a lot, and she pretended to be familiar. She kept finding something to say, as if she would die if she stopped talking.Seeing that Ouyang Yu was not interested in his nagging at all, he didn't respond too much.Not long after, she carefully looked around, and whispered with a mysterious face: "Xiao Yu, are you a foreigner?"

"Yes, my hometown is in Spring City, more than a thousand kilometers away from here." Ouyang Yu nodded. "No wonder, otherwise I wouldn't be looking for a job in this ghost place." Guan Lin smiled strangely. "No, this hotel is very good, and the luxurious salary and benefits are also good." The girl blinked her eyes, puzzled. "It seems that you really don't know." Guan Lin looked around again, "The Materia Medica International Hot Spring Hotel is a well-known haunted place, and all the locals know it." "There are no ghosts in this world. I don't believe it!" Ouyang Yu said lightly.

"I didn't believe it when I first came here, but now I feel more and more eerie in the hotel. When I'm alone, I always feel that there is something behind me looking at me." Guan Lin showed a scared expression, "Where are you? Heaven came to apply for it?" "yesterday." "You were asked to work in the lobby when you first arrived yesterday, Xiao Yu, don't you think it's strange?" "Should I be surprised?" Ouyang Yu asked in confusion. "You don't know the cause and effect." Guan Lin laughed dryly. "The work in the lobby is actually very simple. It's nothing more than receiving guests and going through formalities. But the female colleague who was on duty with me all the time disappeared suddenly yesterday, so the manager I will find you to take over!"

"Missing?" Ouyang Yu frowned. "Yes, she disappeared for no reason. It is said that the other three girls who lived with her saw her sleeping on the bed when they went out. The monitor outside did not capture the image of her going out, but that guy It really just disappeared, and I can’t find it anywhere.” Guan Lin said gossipingly: "The hotel called the police, but it is said that the police did not find any clues. The girl seemed to have gasified, and people asked her to evaporate. Fortunately, you are here, otherwise I really wouldn't dare to be on duty alone!" Ouyang Yu didn't know how to react, she had no curiosity about ghosts and gods, "But I don't think you are afraid at all." "Of course I'm scared, I'm scared to death." Guan Lin shrunk her neck, "It's not the first girl who disappeared yesterday. People in the hotel often disappear suddenly and then reappear suddenly after a few days, and they haven't been missing for a few days at all. memories. There are people who were fine one moment, but collapsed and committed suicide the next second.” "You mean someone died in the hotel?" Ouyang Yu was stunned. "More than one person committed suicide. Among those missing, there are hotel waiters and guests. Some can come back, and some have not been found so far. I don't know if they are alive or dead. Of course, these are all hidden Guests, so there will still be people living in hot springs here." "Then why don't you resign?" Ouyang Yu asked strangely. "I need money. Jiangyang City doesn't need skills and high-paying jobs, and there are only jobs in this hotel." Guan Lin curled her lips, "Let's not talk about myself, Xiao Yu, I have said so much, you Aren't you curious about the history of this hotel?" "Not too curious." Ouyang Yu shook her head. "Tch, you don't explore psychology at all. Really, tsk tsk!" Guan Lin suddenly stopped talking. The revolving door in the hall was pushed, and a man in black walked in. This man was tall, a full two hundred and ten centimeters, but slender like a bamboo pole, as if the huge black windbreaker was only supported by a hanging hanger, making him uncomfortable to watch. The man looked down at Ouyang Yu, his eyes were blank. The girl felt very uncomfortable, so he squeezed out a public relations smile and asked, "Sir, what can I do for you?" "Stay in the hotel, room 444." The man's voice was hoarse, as if coming from the depths of hell. The tone came into Ouyang Yu's ear holes, making her skin crawl.She slowly retrieved the records from the computer, and couldn't help frowning, "Sir, I'm sorry, there is no room 444 here." The man's face was hidden in the windbreaker, so he couldn't see clearly, but it was conceivable that he must be expressionless.He just looked at Ouyang Yu quietly without saying anything. "Sir, there really is no Room 444 here." Ouyang Yu suddenly felt a little scared. The man still didn't say a word. Guan Lin, who was quietly at the side, gently tugged at the corner of her clothes, clicked on a certain position on the screen, and whispered: "Arrange this room for him." Ouyang Yu looked over subconsciously, Guan Lin was referring to the fourteen buildings in the villa area. The grade of this hotel is very high, and there are only two types of accommodation, apartment-style rooms and villa rooms.The apartment is a three-storey building located behind the lobby building, no different from ordinary hotel rooms, with a total of 117 rooms.As for the villas, there are only twenty-one villas, and the price of staying for one night is definitely high. So here, it is impossible for Room 44 on the fourth floor to appear. Ouyang Yu was bewildered by the man's eyes, she hurriedly followed Guan Lin's reminder, and took out the access control card of Building 14, "This is Room 14 you want, please take out your ID card and hand it over to Mrs. I photocopy." When she said these words, her heart was beating violently. Is it really okay to give customers a room with completely different needs?Unexpectedly, the man did not object, but just took out an ID card from his arms. Ouyang Yu hurriedly checked it on the computer, and then made a photocopy.She felt that this man's ID card was very worn out, and there was an indescribable sense of incongruity. "Would you like to pay by cash or by credit card?" Ouyang Yu raised her head and asked after completing the formalities.The man was too tall, so high that her raised head hurt. Without a sound, the man took out a thick stack of cash from his bag and put it on the counter. After Ouyang Yu was taken aback, he quickly counted out the money he needed, and handed him the access control card, "I wish you a pleasant stay." The man grinned, revealing his dark teeth. Ouyang Yu was taken aback again.After the strange man left the hall and his figure completely disappeared, she was relieved, and her beating heart finally eased a little. That man was too terrifying, he felt as if he was inhuman to her.He looked at her eyes without any emotion. Ouyang Yu turned her head and was about to say something to Guan Lin, but when her eyes shifted to her colleague's position just now, she was surprised to find that Guan Lin had left at some point. Many people think that dreams are a kind of prediction of the future, although experts always hold a negative attitude.But most people will still be affected by the dreams of that day. Ouyang Yu was on shift at seven o'clock in the morning, and the finance department sent someone to count the coins.With sharp eyes, she was horrified to find that there were more than a dozen unharmonious banknotes mixed in a large pile of red banknotes. Taking a closer look, the girl's face was pale. That turned out to be a ghost note! She was shaking all over, and really couldn't figure out when the money was put into the cash register.When she took over the counter yesterday, she obviously checked it on purpose. If the Ming notes were really mixed in because of her own mistakes, the problem would be big.A fine can range from fines to expulsion, and the hotel might even call the police. The more Ouyang Yu thought about it, the more frightened she became, but the staff of the finance department turned a blind eye to those ghost notes.The woman in her thirties checked the records, and then picked out the money, indicating that Ouyang Yu could leave work. Inadvertently asked and saw her stunned look, the woman smiled helplessly, and her tone was also very meaningful: "I heard that you just came here?" "I just came yesterday." Ouyang Yu replied subconsciously like a walking corpse. Finance patted her on the shoulder, "Just get used to it." What does it mean to get used to it?Ouyang Yu couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence at all. The woman looked at Ming Chao with a completely evasive expression, as if she was very used to it.Could it be that there are often people around who mix ghost money with coins to pay bills?But if this is the case, the hotel should have been vigilant long ago. Why is the financial situation so lukewarm? It even gives people a feeling that they are afraid to avoid it. At 8:30 in the morning, Ouyang Yu washed up briefly, fell asleep on the bed and quickly fell asleep. Being on the night shift messes up people's biological clocks, and she, who has never been very fond of dreaming, has nightmares all day long.She kept dreaming about the man in black last night, he looked at her with those cold eyes, and the fear kept accumulating deep in her heart, freezing her heart. When dreaming of the man in black for the thirteenth time, Ouyang Yu finally struggled to wake up, sat up straight, her heart beating wildly.She kept panting heavily, as if something was squeezing her in all directions, making her unable to breathe.Ouyang Yu opened her eyes, the sunlight came in from the window, and there was even a bunch of golden sunlight crouching at her feet. Spring in Jiangyang City is not too cold, but Ouyang Yu was surprised to find that the temperature in the dormitory was astonishingly freezing, so cold that even the hot air exhaled could be seen with the naked eye, a large area of ​​white mist, like clouds.She put her arms around her bare arms, and took a look at the phone with her trembling hands. It was a quarter past three in the afternoon. When I got up and stepped on the floor, the cold feeling on my body disappeared without a trace, and the warm feeling suddenly permeated every inch of my skin.Ouyang Yu was overwhelmed by the sudden temperature difference, she stayed in place for a while, then scratched her head and looked at the surrounding environment. The other three roommates in the dormitory have not been seen so far. The quilt on the bed is neatly folded, exactly the same as when she first arrived at the hotel yesterday. No one should have slept there, but the manager did say that he lives with the other three girls.Are they on vacation? After tidying up a bit, Ouyang Yu opened the door and walked out of the dormitory.She wandered around the hotel to familiarize herself with the surroundings. Materia Medica International Hot Spring Hotel is worthy of being a four-star hotel. It occupies a large area. Although it lacks popularity, the garden landscape and buildings are exquisitely constructed.The sidewalks winding under the old trees, the artificial wetlands and the flowers blooming everywhere give people a beautiful feeling. But for some reason, Ouyang Yu always felt that there was a pair of eyes peeping at her from behind.I turned my head and looked back several times, but saw nothing except the leaves blown by the wind.She shook her head, not paying much attention. The staff dormitory and the hotel area are separated by a thick green belt, and only a small road can pass through.At night, the road looks gloomy, and the street lights are also dim. Even if you walk on this road during the day, you still feel creepy and uncomfortable. Ouyang Yu returned to the dormitory along the path, changed into the staff uniform, and went to the restaurant for dinner. She knew very well that the personnel department hadn't called all day today, so she probably was still on the night shift. Sure enough, at nine o'clock in the evening, the manager called her to the lobby to be on duty.This time it was empty behind the counter and no one was there. "Where's Guan Lin? Why didn't she come?" Ouyang Yu asked strangely. "Guan Lin?" A trace of panic crossed the young manager's face, "How do you know this name?" "Yesterday she was on duty with me." The girl blinked. "How is it possible!" The manager's expression changed drastically, "Are you kidding me? You were obviously the only one on duty last night!" "But last night, Guan Lin was behind the counter one step ahead of me, and you were there at the time." Ouyang Yu felt a little trembling in her heart, she didn't understand what the manager was doing. "Impossible, absolutely impossible!" The manager's face was pale and frightening, "When I gave you the job yesterday, there was no one in the lobby, otherwise I wouldn't have rushed to find you to work at the counter!" After finishing speaking, he didn't explain any more, and left in a hurry with a terrified look on his face. In the empty hall, Ouyang Yu was the only one left standing stupidly. She looked at the resplendent and mirror-like ground illuminated by the lights, and asked if she didn't know what to do. Judging from the manager's expression, it didn't look like he was lying, and he didn't need to lie to himself.If Guan Lin was really not on duty last night, and she was the only person in the lobby all night, then who was Guan Lin?Does she exist?And who stayed with her most of the night? Ouyang Yu is very clear that she is absolutely not delusional, and she never imagined such weird behaviors as "invisible friends" when she was a child. She even still remembers the girl Guan Lin's voice and appearance. It's just that the man in black, she couldn't remember what he looked like, and he couldn't even remember his ID card.Although there is still a vague memory, it seems very old, but if I recall the name and photo on the ID card, I can't remember it no matter what. Ouyang Yu has always been very proud of her memory. Although she can't say that she has a photographic memory of the things she has seen, she can still remember them all. However, in Ouyang Yu's memory, the man in black, his identity and his ID card are like blurry shadows separated by countless pieces of glass, not only can't be seen clearly, but also continue to dissipate.Up to now, it seems that there is only a vague concept of being tall and thin. This is simply extremely abnormal. Ouyang Yu was a little scared, she shyly walked behind the counter, regretting while on duty, maybe she really shouldn't apply for this hotel.Although I am not a local, I did some research on the hotel when I came here. The locals are very secretive about the hotel and don’t want to say more, but whenever it is mentioned, most people will persuade themselves not to work here. But Ouyang Yu had a reason to come. The more she thought about what happened last night, the more she couldn't figure it out. Whether it was from the perspective of common sense, physiology or theorem, it was difficult to explain! Guan Lin, who was on duty with me, was denied by the manager; the weird man in black actually wanted room 444.Thinking back now, ordinary travelers seldom make specific requests, let alone a specific room. But the man in black subverted common sense. Ouyang Yu behind the counter suddenly woke up, and she quickly took out a stack of documents from the drawer.This is the check-in procedure for hotel customers. Usually, these procedures are kept at the counter for half a month, and then they are taken away by the administrative office for disposal. Soon Ouyang Yu found the part from last night.She still clearly remembered that there were only three guests staying at the hotel last night, and the man in black was the first. She flipped the information to the registration position of the man in black, and after only one glance, she was dumbfounded. I saw the location of the photocopy of the ID card. There was nothing there. It was a blank piece of paper. In the data column, the customer name and ID card number and other information were filled in. Although it was indeed her handwriting, even she couldn't tell it apart. What exactly did I write? It was crooked, like a ghostly drawing. Ouyang Yu has no impression of writing these things at all, and these messy and complicated handwriting ghosts, even if she is asked to rewrite them with a clear mind and a normal way, she will definitely not be able to do it. The information of the man in black is as strange as the dozen or so ghost notes that appeared in the cash register in the morning. She shivered, hesitated for a moment, and opened the surveillance record of the hall last night.Ouyang Yu wanted to find out whether Guan Lin didn't exist all the time! There are only two types of records that can be recalled from the computer in the lobby, one is captured by the surveillance camera in front of the revolving door.Another set of surveillance cameras is installed just above the counter, which can monitor the employees and customers inside and outside the counter. Ouyang Yu adjusted the monitoring record to 3:30 in the morning last night, when she went to work.In the picture, the manager is explaining the work process to himself noisyly. For himself with work experience, these things are not difficult to understand, but the young manager did not glance at the counter, and the anxious look on his face does not seem to be fake. . Looking at another set of pictures, suddenly, her restless heart suddenly relaxed a lot.The surveillance camera captured Guan Lin, she was standing bored behind the counter, although she couldn't see her face clearly, Ouyang Yu could still distinguish her figure, and she was standing in a clever position, just in the manager's line of sight dead corner. If Guan Lin is not human, she should not be captured by surveillance cameras.Ouyang Yu comforted herself.But after confirming that Guan Lin does exist, another question arises—who is she?Why doesn't even the manager know about her?Or is she not an employee here at all? After thinking for a moment, Ouyang Yu rummaged under the counter, and finally found the employee duty list.This book is thick and heavy, with more than 500 pages. It records the duty records of all counter staff in the hotel from its opening to the present. Ouyang Yu searched carefully, and it took half an hour to find the name Guan Lin.She started to work on May 19 last year, and I haven't seen her sign in since October 11. I don't know if she left the job or for other reasons. When she was searching very hard, suddenly there were hands on her shoulders, and a nice and familiar voice came into her ear canal suddenly: "Hey, what are you looking at?" Ouyang Yu was so startled that her heart almost jumped out of her chest. I saw the girl who called herself Guan Lin appeared out of nowhere, wrapping her arms around her shoulders affectionately, while curiously looking at the duty list in front of her. "No, it's nothing!" Ouyang Yu closed the watch list with a guilty conscience, she really didn't know how to face the girl in front of her.Logically speaking, this Guan Lin should not have worked in this hotel since October last year, but why did she come back now?Moreover, even the manager doesn't know of her existence? "Well, it seems that you already know." Guan Lin observed her, looking her up and down over and over again. Ouyang Yu suddenly discovered that this Guan Lin was actually very beautiful, prettier than all the women she had ever seen, and her temperament and face were not even inferior to most celebrities. But the way she looked at her now made Ouyang Yu a little creepy.Because the smile on the corner of her mouth seemed to be full of narrowness and some kind of inexplicable emotional color.Although not malicious, it is very uncomfortable. "Who are you?" Ouyang Yu asked vigilantly. "Me?" The girl who called herself Guan Lin touched her chin meaningfully, "This explanation is long and complicated, so let's not waste my saliva." "Then what is your purpose for approaching me?" She stared at the girl. "No purpose, even if there is, it won't hurt you." The girl patted her on the shoulder, "In fact, you are the one who really has a purpose, right?" Ouyang Yu frowned, his face became a little ugly, "What do you mean!" "It's good for everyone to know. You do yours and I do mine without interfering with each other. Don't worry, I'm really not interested in your affairs." The girl smiled beautifully, but her bright eyes were full of threatening eyes that penetrated to the bone marrow, which made Ouyang Yu restless, as if her privacy was a joke in front of her. "Then, at least tell me your real name." Ouyang Yu compromised. "Didn't I tell you yesterday?" The girl narrowed her eyes. "You are definitely not Guan Lin." "Oh, why are you so sure?" The girl held her chin, looking curious. "Intuition!" Ouyang Yu said these two unreliable words in a decisive tone. "Oh, I was really defeated by you. You really think that a woman's sixth sense is useful everywhere." The girl pouted helplessly, "Well, it doesn't matter if I tell you my real name, my name is Zhao Yunhan." "Zhao Yunhan? It's a nice name." Ouyang Yu nodded and stopped talking. "Please, can you stop being so cool? When others see it, they think the whole world owes you millions." Zhao Yunhan stretched out her hand to pull her cheek. Ouyang Yu slapped her hands away, took out her mobile phone and read a novel. Zhao Yunhan's face was full of grievances, and she simply went about her own business. She took out a Sinan-like instrument in her hand as if by magic. It looked very old, and the bronze surface was even covered with a layer of patina that could not be wiped clean.That thing was weird, the end of the spoon kept changing its position, and Zhao Yunhan followed Si Nan's direction and walked up and down the hall. "Isn't it here?" She tossed and tossed for several hours, finally stopped and muttered in a low voice. "Are you looking for something?" Ouyang Yu looked up and asked curiously. "Why should I tell you?" Zhao Yunhan put Si Nan on the counter, looking awkward. "Don't tell me to pull it off, anyway, I don't really want to know." Ouyang Yu shrugged and looked away.However, the moment he looked away, he still took a hard look at the suspected Sinan's ancient artifact. That thing is not the same as "Sinan" in TV and museums, it should be said that it is much more complicated on the surface. The ancient people made Sinan to identify the direction, so they cut it into a dipper shape with natural magnetite, put it on a smooth plate, and engraved the direction on the plate, and used the function of the magnet guide to act as a compass. It can be said to be the ancestor of the compass used today. But the things on the counter looked similar to "Sinan", but the plates were made of bronze.The ladle on the top is a solid piece of metal, black all over, but it is mixed with silver substances, it is difficult to tell what kind of metal it is. The most important thing is that there are extremely mysterious symbols and horizontal lines carved on the surface of the plate. can not read it. The ladle lying flat on the smooth plate is still turning back and forth like life until now, turning left and right for a while, and sometimes even the tail is slightly tilted.Ouyang Yu didn't understand what it was doing! "Is this Sinan electric?" After hesitating for a while, Ouyang Yu couldn't help asking again. Zhao Yunhan, who was drinking water, sprayed the tea all over the place with a "poof", as if she heard something funny, she leaned forward and back with laughter, and couldn't get over it for a long time, "You , You don’t think this is a toy bought at a street stall, do you?” After laughing for a while, the girl beat her towering chest vigorously, "If I hear your words, I don't know how many people will be pissed off. Especially that little bastard Ye Buyu, his guardian girl I don’t know how long I have been looking for this thing, hehe, if someone knows that the thing is in my hands, they will definitely come and kill me one after another.” Ouyang Yu was dumbfounded, she didn't expect that a word she said casually would cause the girl in front of her to feel so much emotion.And the words are still developing to a more and more weird level, who is Ye Buyu?What the hell is a guardian girl?She didn't get it at all. "Is this thing very valuable?" Looking left and right, she felt that Sinan in front of her was a little old, and the ladle was a little dizzy, but she couldn't see any potential for value.Is it an antique? "Worth it? This ancient thing cannot be measured by money, and you won't understand if you tell me." Zhao Yunhan put Sinan away and looked at the clock in the hall, "It's getting late, slip away first, see you tomorrow night .” "You still come, are you really not afraid of being caught by the people in the hotel?" Ouyang Yu was a little speechless. When she wanted to enter the hotel, they were all trembling, cautious and mixed employees. Fortunately, this beauty Zhao was exposed to the surveillance cameras openly, and no one bothered her. Courage is beyond comparison. By the way, what is she looking for?Ouyang Yu was really curious. For several days, the two got along so weirdly and peacefully.Ouyang Yu was on the night shift, so Zhao Yunhan would show up on time after three o'clock in the morning. She tried to ask other hotel staff, but no one cared about Zhao Yunhan's existence, even if the girl was standing not far away, The manager and the others didn't seem to see her either. If he hadn't been able to see her in the surveillance camera, Ouyang Yu would almost have suspected that Zhao Yunhan was a ghost! Every night the girl was jumping up and down in the hotel looking for something, Ouyang didn't care about her, he just investigated something silently, after all, she entered this hotel for this purpose. Time passed bit by bit, and soon, Ouyang Yu had been working at the Herbal International Hot Spring Hotel for six days.They are all night shifts, and the manager has no intention of transferring people to change shifts.Although turning day and night every day makes her a little uncomfortable, she also enjoys it, is free, and spends a lot of time investigating her own affairs.However, since coming here, every day after falling asleep, I have nightmares. What's even more embarrassing is that after each nightmare, Ouyang Yu actually found that she would have an orgasm. This made her very terrified, she had no idea what was going on with her body. On the seventh day, Zhao Yunhan arrived half an hour later than usual.Ouyang Yu ignored her as usual, but the moment Zhao Yunhan saw her, his expression changed, he grabbed her right hand suddenly, lifted it up, and took a look. It was just this look, the usually playful and cynical pretty face turned extremely serious. "You are in trouble." The girl said slowly and seriously, "Big trouble!" "What trouble?" Ouyang Yu was a little puzzled. "You are cursed!" "Curse, curse, curse?" Ouyang Yu stammered for a long time, eyes widened, "Are you speaking Mandarin? How could I be cursed? Besides, there is no such thing as a curse in the world, and it's not like making a horror movie." "Look at the sleeve of your right hand." Zhao Yun frowned. Ouyang Yu looked over subconsciously, there were two buttons on the cuff of the black suit on the right hand, but one of them fell off at some point, "It's just a button missing, so it's cursed?" "Look carefully, that button of yours was ripped off on purpose." Zhao Yunhan pointed to the place where the cuff line was broken, took the scissors on the counter casually, and said, "If you still don't believe me, use the scissors to untie the button." Cut off the sleeve and see if there is anything strange inside." Ouyang Yu didn't take the scissors, but felt through the fabric with her left hand to see if there was any foreign object in the sleeve. Not long after, she was surprised to feel something very hard to the touch.After hesitating for a moment, she finally picked up the scissors, cut off one layer of the sleeve of the small suit, and reached out to grope in the interlayer.Within a few seconds, my fingers touched a cold, resilient thing, as smooth and delicate as silk. Taking it out, she yelled "Wow", and quickly threw the thing on the counter in disgust. It was the skin of an unknown animal, smooth, fine-pored, without any hair, but it was surprisingly cold, like a piece of ice in the hand.This piece of skin was only half the size of a palm, and some strange and difficult-to-understand characters were painted on it with vermilion dye. It looked like runes to drive away ghosts in Hong Kong movies. Zhao Yunhan looked at the piece of leather, and didn't make a sound for a long time. She just used scissors to move the piece of leather on the counter table, with a meaningful expression on her face. "What exactly is this thing?" Ouyang Yu was quite frightened. Who exactly stuffed the leather into her little suit?Why is there no clue at all? "Do you know what kind of skin this is?" Zhao Yunhan suddenly raised her head and asked. "No, it can't be human skin, right?" Ouyang Yu suddenly remembered the plots described in many horror movies. "Wow, your imagination is straight up to Dong Xiongfu, how could it be human skin!" The girl shook her head mockingly. Ouyang Yu bit her lip, "Stop playing charades, tell me quickly!" The girl laughed again and didn't answer, her thoughts jumped madly, "Do you know the history of this hotel?" "I don't know." Ouyang Yu shook her head anxiously, she was not interested in this hotel at all. "If you want to know what kind of skin this is, you have to figure out where this hotel is built." Zhao Yunhan slowly stretched out her finger, and tapped on the weird and thoughtful animal skin on the table. "The location of this hotel used to be a crematorium." "I know that." Ouyang Yu nodded, she had investigated before she came. "But before the crematorium, do you know where this is?" Zhao Yunhan asked again. The girl shakes her head. Zhao Yun smiled and said: "It's a mass grave, and it's also the most famous haunted place near Jiangyang City. By the way, have you had frequent nightmares recently? Also, after the nightmare is over, will you have an orgasm?" ?” "You!" Ouyang Yu's whole body trembled, she was about to be driven mad by the completely out-of-track conversation of the girl in front of her. "Tell me, this is very important." Zhao Yunhan was very serious. "...Yes." The girl lowered her head, blushing. "As expected, what I'm looking for must be here." Zhao Yun had an expression of "as expected", and lightly patted her on the shoulder, "We are on the same front now, the one who cursed you , The thing in my hand is exactly what I want. It seems that if you help me, you are also helping me." "What are you looking for?" Ouyang Yu asked. "You don't even understand, you just need to know that you only have two days left to live." "I can only live for two days?" Ouyang Yu was taken aback. “不错，再做两天噩梦，你的精气神就会被那东西吸走，我也救不了你！”赵韵含点点头。 “这个皮肤是怎么回事？”欧阳雨整张脸都变得煞白起来，她不知道自己该不该信，可直觉告诉她，眼前女孩并没有撒谎。 “这是那东西脱下来的皮，你可以把它当作一种类似GPS的终端，只要将这块皮放在人的身上，那东西就会找过去，夺取目标的命。”赵韵含说。 “你说的东西太灵异了，我真的还在地球吗？”欧阳雨叹口气，想要吐槽，却败给了内心的恐惧。 赵韵含拍了拍她的肩膀，“欢迎来到我的世界，这一次总算抢到了夜不语的前头，总算能开张了。” 欧阳雨皱了下眉，“你嘴里常提到的夜不语，究竟是谁？” “一个讨厌的家伙，幸好你是遇到了我，如果是他来了的话，估计不但心会被偷走，就连命也保不住。”赵韵含笑得很犯贱。 “他有那麼可怕？”欧阳雨的脸色更白了。 “少女，他比你想的更可怕。”。 赵韵含的笑意完全没办法遮盖，女孩顿时恍然大悟，一脸恼怒，“你在耍我？” “当然没有，我说得很认真。”赵韵含停住笑，漂亮的眼睛精光四射，“还是来继续跟你解释一下吧。刚才就说了这家酒店最开始时是乱葬岗，闹鬼严重。当然，世界上有没有鬼，值得商榷。但是二十三年前，改建火葬场的时候，却被工人在乱葬岗中挖出了一个奇怪的古墓。” “乱坟岗里古墓多了去了，有什麼好值得奇怪的！”欧阳雨撇撇嘴。 “这处古墓不一样，地下空间大得吓人。施工部门立刻叫来市考古队的工作人员，大概来了十多个考古专家，连带著二十多个本地工人。他们用绳索下到墓底下，据说那块墓足足有十三公尺高，内部空荡荡的，就连手电筒都照射不到尽头。 “至於在里边发生了什麼，至今也没人清楚。总之接近四十多人的考古队，只有一个人活著出来了。就连那个人，也没有说几句清楚的话，很快便疯了。 “同事将幸存的那人送进医院，可只过了八天，那人居然死在了病床上，死时的模样十分可怖，犹如乾尸一般，像是有什麼东西吸光了他身上的所有血液和营养成分。而事后，在这位幸存者的衣物里，就找到了类似的皮。” 赵韵含一边说，一边看了柜台上的怪皮一眼。欧阳雨不由打了个寒颤。 “你很害怕？”赵韵含嘴角含笑，明知故问。 “废话。”女孩狠狠瞪了她一眼。 “后边的事会让你更怕。”她耸耸肩膀，继续讲，“不久后，市里又派了一支考古队下去，这次足足有九十多人。还好这次没有人死，可谁也没找到过上一支考古人员的任何一具尸体。他们在古墓的最深处找来找去，并没有找到陪葬物，也没有能够标示和辨别古墓年代的一切文字和图像。 “墓的最深处，只有一个高大五公尺的石碑，石碑上用小篆刻著一个硕大的'陈'字。 “一口黑漆漆的棺材放在石碑后边，棺材盖已经被打开了，里边空无一物。不知什麼木头制作的棺材至今没有腐烂的迹象，只是臭不可闻。 “考古队费了大力气将石碑和空棺材抬走，放入了市博物馆收藏。而这个庞大的古墓随后被填平，修建起了火葬场。 “不过火葬场开业没多久，就有员工陆续离奇死亡，死时的模样无一不是被什麼东西吸成了乾尸。火葬场中有诅咒的传言立刻传遍了附近，所有人都人心惶惶，大量员工离职。不过一年半而已，斥钜资修建的火葬场便废弃，当地人没有人敢到这里来，就连原本住在周围的居民也相继搬走。 “废弃了二十多年，直到偶然发现温泉，这里被一个新加坡人买下来修了这座四星级酒店，不过偶有人失踪的情况，依旧在发生，只是被酒店高层压了下来而已。” 赵韵含大有深意的看著面前的欧阳雨，“你潜入这家酒店的目的，不会恰好是很俗烂的有某个重要的亲人失踪了吧？” “是我姐姐，亲姐姐。”欧阳雨没有否定，脸上又恐惧又担忧。听完赵韵含讲述的前因后果，她的心里有了一丝不好的预感。 “不用找她了，如果她是在这家酒店失踪的，又没有回家的话，十有八九已经死了。”赵韵含直接下了死亡定言。 “不可能！”欧阳雨全身都在颤抖，泪水不停的往眼眶外流。 “你还是担心一下你自己吧。”赵韵含没安慰她，任她哭了一阵子，这才缓缓道：“毕竟你只剩两天命了。” 欧阳雨看著柜台上古怪的皮，抹乾眼泪，突然说：“既然你说这张皮在诅咒中起到定位作用，那将它扔掉呢？那东西不就找不到我了！” “如果早几天，还有一丝可能，但现在已经晚了。我在这家酒店潜伏了一年，每一次想抓那玩意儿，都在最后一步功亏一篑，这次总算让我找到了对付它的好东西，很有把握。”赵韵含用黑漆漆的漂亮眼睛盯著她，“就看你配合得好不好了。” “配合得好，我就能活吗？” “不错。”赵韵含点点头。 “可，我该相信你吗？”欧阳雨犹豫道，“一切都是你在说。虽然那张皮有些古怪，我确实一直在做噩梦，而且噩梦后会有性高潮。但是，谁知道你是不是在说谎？毕竟你讲的东西，实在太离奇了，比恐怖电影都难以令我接受。” “我不在乎你信不信我，只想问你，愿不愿意赌一把？”赵韵含满不在乎的问。 女孩看著桌面的诡异的皮，喉咙动了动，终於叹了口气，“我赌！” 是啊，没有人不怕死，欧阳雨也不例外。姐姐，或许真的像眼前这位绝丽女孩说的那样，已经永远找不回来。她不能死，死了以后，父母和姐姐留下的儿子，谁来照顾？ 欧阳雨，真的无怯想像，自己死了，她的家会糟糕成什麼样！ “很好，要的就是这副坚定的表情。”赵韵含满意的点点头，她从包里掏出一个拳头大小的囊状物，递给欧阳雨，“拿去，睡觉的时候挂在床头上。” “这又是什麼东西？”欧阳雨迟疑了一下。 她上下打量著这个青囊，很古旧，破破烂斓的，像是个不规则的皮球，用力捏也捏不出究竟是什麼材质。青囊看起来已经有很多年历史了，肮脏得厉害，里边似乎还装著什麼，用手一摇，顿时发出“匡当当”的金属撞击声。 最奇怪的是，这个拳头大的青囊居然恍如整体，没有开口的地方，也不知道里边的金属是怎么装进去的。 “这可是好东西，有钱都买不到。”赵韵含神秘兮兮的说，“看过《倩女幽魂》没有？” 欧阳雨点头。 “那看过这本书吗？里边《倩女幽魂》这个故事原本为《聂小倩》，讲述的故事也跟电影大相径庭。原文中，燕赤霞给过宁采臣一个剑闸用来保平安，最后就是那个剑闸杀掉了千年树妖。”赵韵含越讲越玄乎。 “这跟你给我的青囊有联系吗？”女孩迷惑不解。 “有，当然有！”赵韵含笑了，“你手里的青囊，就是跟《聂小倩》中的剑闸，属於同一类东西。” 欧阳雨一惊，险些将手里的青囊扔在地上，“你骗我，世上哪有那麼多奇怪玩意儿！” “美女，相信我，这个世界远比你用肉眼看到的复杂得多。你最近遇到的事情或许已经超出了你的想像力之外几万公里远，可是对我这类人而言，不过是冰山一角罢了。”赵韵含说著伸了个懒腰，“走了，天亮后，我会在你附近保护你。加油哦，我看好你！” 说完还没等欧阳雨反应过来，她已经走出了大厅。 女孩手里紧紧抓著青囊，一时间思绪万千，脑袋更是乱的难以形容。 很快，令人煎熬的一夜就过去了，朝阳普洒在大地上，带来了暖意和光明。 可欧阳雨的心，却沉进了马里亚纳海沟。 自己，真的只剩下两天的命了吗？她半信半疑，总之先按照那个神秘女孩所说，赌一把吧。 就算是被骗了也无所谓，至少，自己并不会失去什麼。 希望如此吧！ 女孩看著透入落地玻璃的阳光，担忧的叹了口气。 换班后，欧阳雨去餐厅吃了早饭，看看手表，早晨九点半。困意早已经像蛇一般将自己里外捆得结结实实，她恨不得爬到床上好好睡一觉。 睡前，女孩清醒的将赵韵含给的青囊挂在床头，然后身体就彷佛失重似的，头部一挨著枕头，就昏沉沉的睡著了。 冷，无穷无尽的冷意将她纠缠得水泄不通。 她又做了噩梦，她梦到姐姐被什麼东西吞下了肚子，在那黑漆漆的有如云雾般邪恶的怪物肚子里凄厉的叫唤著自己的名字。 那怪物的模样，欧阳雨始终看不清楚。没过多久，那个要444号房的黑衣人再次闯入梦中，他用不带任何感情色彩的眸子看著她，死死地看著她。 在那股视线下，她觉得身体一阵凌乱，有股性高潮的快感莫名其妙的涌上了自己所有的感官和神经。 就在这时，一阵轻响猛地响彻了欧阳雨的精神世界。黑衣男子仓皇的跳起，瞬间不见了踪影。 女孩醒了，她艰难的撑起厚厚的眼皮，从眼隙中隐约能看到有什麼通体漆黑的东西趴伏在床头，抓住自己的一把头发，用力的含在嘴里吸吮著。 床头的青囊发出一阵又一阵的轻响。终於，看似天衣无缝的青囊猛地裂开，有一件泛著绿光的物体带著长长的残影飞出，快的用肉眼难以捕捉，那绿色物体彷佛一匹绸子决似的，用力撞在黑影上，无声无息，但黑影彷佛受到了重创似的，发出了刺耳的尖叫声。 绿色物体在黑影身上穿过，又“匡当”一声飞回了青囊里。青囊合拢，依旧是没有任何缝隙。 说时迟那时快，又一个人影踢开门，从门外窜了进来。 欧阳雨好不容易才看清楚，来人居然是神秘女赵韵含。她的身手敏捷的不像人类，将手里的东西向空中一扬，有个网状物立刻便铺满了方圆五平方公尺的空问。 背对著阳光，细密的网反射著奇异的光泽，将黑影网了个正著。那黑影在网里不断地挣扎，过了好半晌才逐渐不再动弹。赵韵含笑咪咪的走到青囊前，不知用什麼手法将其打开，掏出了内部那绿油油的物体，凑到鼻子前闻了闻。 欧阳雨睁大眼睛，原来青囊内有一把手指大小的短剑。短剑的造型很新颖，像是一片韭菜叶子。 一闻之下，赵韵含一直都淡定的脸色顿时大变。她黑著表情，收起网，顿时浮於网外的黑色烟雾全都收敛进了网眼中，神奇无比。 当网全部回到女孩的手心，只见一个穿著西装的人顿时从网下露了出来。说是人，不如说是尸体，因为地上的人已经没有了气息，脸上甚至有迅速腐烂的迹象。 完全不知道死了有多久。 欧阳雨看到地上的尸体，没睡醒的脸也吓得扭曲了。他居然是酒店那位年轻帅气，属於自己顶头上司的人事部经理，昨天自己都还跟他聊天过。可看尸体的腐烂程度，这位年轻帅气的经理绝对死了半个月以上，甚至更长。 难道一直以来给自己安排工作的，居然是一个死人？欧阳雨心乱如麻，全身颤抖得厉害。 赵韵含看了欧阳雨一眼，眼中全是抱歉，“对不起，我没能将那东西抓住，也没有救到你。” “你在开什麼玩笑，我不是活得好好的吗？”欧阳雨疑惑的想要坐起身体，可她突然发觉自己所有的肌肉和骨骼都没有丝毫的力气。 赵韵含叹了口气，拿过一个镜子放在她眼前，“你自己看。” 欧阳雨用尽力气，总算看到了镜中的自己。不，那绝对不是她本人，镜子里倒映著一个八十多岁的老朽，容貌乾枯、皮肤乾瘪，头发稀落落的如同火烧过的荒原。 “这不是我！这不是我！”欧阳雨激动地一把抓住了赵韵含的手腕，撕心裂肺的尖吼著。 “对不起。”赵韵含苦涩的笑了笑，没有再多话。 欧阳雨想要骂脏话，却实在提不起力气，她感觉生命在流逝，就连呼吸都变成了一种奢侈。 她瞪大耷拉的双眼，狠狠的瞪著赵韵含看彷佛是想要诅咒她，直到生命的最后一刻。 过了许久，赵韵含才将她树枝般的手掰开，在她死不瞑目的眼皮上一抹，离开了房间。 阳光照射在酒店的建筑上，拖著长长的阴影。没有人知道本草国际温泉酒店里的阴暗面，更没人知道，每天午夜三点，都会有一个漂亮的年轻女孩，手捧著司南一样的古怪玩意儿，在酒店中到处寻找著某样东西。 又是一天朝阳升起，夕阳落下。凌晨四点，酒店人事部经理带著一个三十多岁的女性走进了大厅，安排她在柜台值夜班。 柜台后，赵韵含笑容可掬的冲这位女性齤友善的伸出了手，“太好了，终於有人陪我值夜班了。你好，我叫欧阳雨，你叫什麼名字？” “很高兴认识你，我叫赵韵含。”三十岁的女人笑咪咪的跟她握手。 自称欧阳雨的赵韵含一愣，警觉道：“这不是真名吧？” “你说呢？”自称赵韵含的女人神秘的笑了。 ——全文完
