Chapter 44 2. Journey of horror

The cattle tradition has a mind of its own. Just as Zhu Neng thinks Niu Tradition is stupid, Niu Tradition also thinks Zhu Neng is stupid—the other party has said that he is willing to exchange all his family property for the relic of Xuanzang's parietal bone.Then you go get the things according to the address on the envelope and sell them, isn't it over?Why bother? Therefore, he felt that Zhu Neng was stupid.What's even more ridiculous is that Zhu Neng actually told him the address and asked him to go and find out first... Isn't he afraid that after I go there, I will get the relic of Xuanzang's parietal bone and embezzle it privately?

Niu Tradition laughed to himself.Of course, he just thought about it and didn't really want to do it. He was not afraid of Zhu Neng, but the group who plotted against Zhu Neng.Niu Chuanchuan has never seen or heard of such a deep and persistent conspirator.Once in prison, he also thought about how to get revenge on Zhu Neng all day long, and worked out a plan that he thought was perfect, but compared with the plots of Xu Lan and Bai Jingjing, Niu Chuantong felt like an idiot . So, he changed his mind, it was Zhu Neng who reminded him—— Zhu Neng said that this incident must have something to do with the director of the zoo. As long as evidence of their crimes can be found, Zhu Neng can return to the zoo, and then he will arrange for Niu Tradition to deliver raw meat to the zoo...

However, Niu Chuanchuan didn't want to pin his hopes on Zhu Neng. He felt that with Zhu Neng's IQ, he would definitely not be able to beat that group of people.Therefore, Niu Tradition wants to find evidence by itself.As long as he has evidence, he can blackmail the director and ask him to arrange for him to deliver raw meat to the zoo... At this moment, Niu Chuanzhong felt that he was extremely wise. The next day, with a beautiful dream in mind, Niu Traditional set off on the road. That place is far away and poor.He took a train for a day and then a car for three hours before arriving in a small county town.Here, is not his destination.That place is a small town under the county seat.

It was getting dark, so Niu Chuanzhong decided to find a place to eat and then stay.After walking around for a while, he found a snack bar that looked relatively clean and ordered a bowl of beef noodles.After thinking about it, he ordered two more stir-fried vegetables and a small bottle of white wine.He thought it was spending Zhu Neng's money anyway, so there was no need to be frugal. As soon as the food was served, Niu Tradition couldn't wait to eat it.He hadn't eaten well all day, and he was really hungry.While eating, the phone rang, and it was a text message from Zhu Neng, with only three short words: Are you here?

Niu Tradition replied: Not yet, I’m in the county seat, it’s too late and I’ll go tomorrow. Zhu Neng did not send any more text messages. After dinner, it was already dark, and Niu Chuanhui wandered around the street, trying to find a hotel to stay.On both sides of the road, there are very ugly strange trees, crooked, with teeth and claws, and they stare at everyone who walks in front of them. In fact, Niu Tradition is the only person on this road.Maybe the people in the small county went to bed early, maybe he went to a remote place, but there was no one around anyway. The traditional foot of a cow walks on the cement road—click, click, click, click, click...

He felt terrified, so he walked faster and faster.He always felt that there was a person following him, and he vaguely felt that the person was wearing a red raincoat.Niu Chuantong kept looking back, but there was nothing behind him. Finally, he was about to collapse, turned around and ran towards the crowded place.At this time, he felt that someone was following him behind him, it was still the person in the red raincoat, he didn't dare to look back, and ran away. Finally, Niu Tradition ran to a place with a lot of people. It seems to be a night market here, very lively.He breathed a sigh of relief, and ventured to look back. There were many people behind him, but none of them were wearing red raincoats.He was relieved, and asked a little girl selling clothes next to him: "Excuse me, is there a hotel near here?"

The little girl said: "Go straight, cross two intersections, the hotel is on that street." Niu Chuantian asked curiously: "The hotels are all on the same street?" The little girl stopped talking to him, and turned to greet other customers. Niu Chuanchuan gave a dry cough and walked away.After passing two intersections, he saw hotels, and there were more than one, all of which looked similar, and he didn't know which one to go to for a moment. At this time, the phone rang, and it was a text message from Zhu Neng: It's good to go back to the hotel. Niu Chuanzhong looked up, and there was a family returning to the hotel not far away, and he was stunned.How did Zhu Neng know that he was looking for a hotel?What's even more strange is how he still knows that there is a family here to return to the hotel...

After thinking about it, Niu Chuantong replied a text message: How do you know? Zhu Neng replied: I checked it online. Niu Tradition: I'm right next to the hotel. Zhu Neng: What a coincidence?But I guess you may be looking for a hotel, so I checked it online for help, so go in.I'll see you in two days, and we'll meet in town. Niu traditionally packed up his mobile phone, walked in and went back to the hotel. Behind the service desk, there was a woman sitting there, typing away, as if chatting on the Internet.Her face was very pale. Niu Chuanchuan had never seen a woman with such a pale face.

"Is there any room left?" Without looking up, she casually picked up a registration book from the side and threw it over.The contents of the registration book are a bit strange: name, former name, gender, age, ethnicity, marriage, place of birth, place of origin, religious belief, occupation, education level, ID number, occupation, blood type, where you come from, where you go go, what are you going to do... Niu Chuanzhong felt that this seemed to be an interrogation transcript. "Do you have to fill it out?" He asked cautiously. The woman seemed extremely impatient and said, "All have to be filled."

Niu Chuantong said with some embarrassment: "But I don't know my blood type..." The woman finally raised her head, looked at him and said coldly: "If you don't know, you can leave it blank." Niu traditionally lowered his head and filled in one by one. He filled in all the real information in the previous section, and he lied about the last item "what to do".He thought it was to inquire about Xuanzang's parietal bone relic, so he wrote visiting relatives.When he was done, he handed the register to the woman. Without even looking at it, she said, "80 for a standard room, 60 for a single room."

"A standard room." The woman threw him a bunch of keys and said, "Go to the second floor, turn left, room 201." After speaking, she lowered her head and continued typing. Niu Chuanli asked carefully: "Is there hot water in the room?" "Someone will send it to you later." Niu Chuantong didn't say anything more, took the key and went upstairs.He opened the door of room 201, and found that the room was very nice, with two beds, TV, air conditioner, and bathroom.He locked the door, put on slippers, and lay down on the bed on the left. Lighting a cigarette, he turned on the TV. In addition to commercials, there are some TV dramas flying around and crying, and Niu Tradition is drowsy after watching them.Just when he was about to turn off the TV, he accidentally found two CDs next to the TV.He walked over to pick it up and saw that it was a two-episode movie with a rather silly name - "Sword of Justice". There was a very old DVD in the TV cabinet. Niu Chuantong tried it, and the DVD was still usable. He put the disc in and went back to bed. After the opening title, the back of a man appeared on the screen. He was walking on a deserted street, and there were strange trees growing on both sides of the road, baring their teeth and claws.There were no other sounds around, only the sound of the man's footsteps—click, click, click, click, click... The voice was harsh, as if it had some kind of terrifying power. The cattle tradition has long froze.He discovered something extremely terrifying—the man on the TV was him! Niu Tradition on TV seemed to sense danger, and he kept looking back.At this time, the camera suddenly changed, and a man in a red raincoat appeared on the screen. He hid behind a tree and stared coldly at the cow tradition in front of him. Niu Tradition lying on the bed was drenched in cold sweat. The cattle tradition on TV fled. He ran to a night market and asked a girl selling clothes, "Excuse me, is there a hotel near here?" He stood by the side of the road texting. He walked back to the hotel and asked a woman with a big forehead: "Is there any room?" He went upstairs, entered room 201, locked the door, put on slippers, and lay down on the bed on the left.After a pause, he lit a cigarette and turned on the TV... The scene turned to outside the door, where a young man in a red sweatshirt and peaked cap stood upright, with gloomy eyes, holding a gleaming sharp knife in his hand.Following his gaze, you can see that the house number of the room is 201. After a long time, the young man raised his hand, as if he was about to knock on the door. The screen suddenly went black, and three bloody words appeared: The next day. A waitress in a hotel cried and told the police about the shocking scene she had just seen.Next to it, a forensic doctor was investigating the scene - in the bathtub, lay a dead body, lying face down, wearing a red raincoat. The forensic doctor slowly turned the corpse... Suddenly, the screen stopped, and then a prompt appeared: Please change the disc. Niu Chuanzhong felt that he was going to die—he recognized it, and the room that appeared on the TV was the room he lived in now!The house number of the room is exactly the same, the furnishings inside are exactly the same, even the color of the slippers is exactly the same... What's more, what Niu Tradition does on TV is exactly the same as what he just did! He didn't dare to change the disc, he was afraid that after the forensic doctor turned the body over, he would see his own face... Niu Tradition felt that something must happen tonight. Suddenly, he remembered that the waitress had mentioned the time when she told the police that the dead body had passed by. He immediately picked up the remote control, reversed it, and played it again. On the TV, Niu Chuanzhong saw himself again, and when a young man appeared outside the door, he trembled.Then, he heard the waitress say: "At about ten o'clock last night, I went to deliver boiling water to the guests in room 201. I knocked on the door for a long time before he opened the door. At that time, I found that his expression was very strange. , seems to have been frightened by something..." The policeman asked, "Did he say anything to you?" The waitress said: "No, he glanced at me, then took the kettle and went into the room." The policeman asked again: "Last night, did you hear any unusual sounds?" "At eleven o'clock, I seemed to hear someone knocking on the door of Room 201..." "Where were you at that time?" "Room 202 opposite is our staff dormitory." "Who's knocking?" "I don't know. I thought it was a friend of the guest. I didn't go out to see it, so I turned off the lights and went to sleep." Seeing this, there was a knock on the door suddenly. It wasn't the knock on the TV, but someone was really knocking on his door!Niu Tradition fought several cold wars.He glanced at the electronic clock hanging on the wall, it was ten past five. Is that the waitress who came to bring him hot water? Niu Tradition hopes it's her, and hopes it's not her—if it's not her, then the young man in the red sweatshirt might be the one knocking on the door... But if it's the waitress, it means he's going to encounter something next. What happened was exactly the same as what happened on TV - in the end, he died in the bathtub wearing a red raincoat. Niu Chuanquan was so frightened that he forgot to breathe, and the room was dead silent.Only the electronic clock hanging on the wall walked slowly, neither fast nor slow, precise and expressionless.He finally couldn't bear the suffering, got out of bed, walked towards the door step by step, gritted his teeth, and opened the door. A waitress stood timidly outside the door with a kettle in hand. She's that waitress on TV! Niu Chuanyuan was stunned. He subconsciously took the kettle and returned to the room.At this moment, his mind was almost blank, and there was only one thought left - what is the ending? It's easy to know what the ending is, just put another disc into the DVD and watch it.But Niu Chuanzhong did not dare to do this. He was still afraid that after the forensic doctor turned the body over, he would see his face... Time passed minute by minute. Niu traditional eyes stared at the CD next to the TV without blinking.There was only one sound in his ears, and it was the sound of an electronic clock—tick, tick, tick. The knock came again, only three times—boom, boom, boom. Niu Chuanyuan came back to his senses and looked at the time, it was exactly eleven o'clock.His hair stood on end, and here comes the man in the red sweatshirt, right outside the door!His eyes were gloomy, and he held a gleaming sharp knife in his hand... Niu Tradition waited for the knock on the door again as if waiting for death.After a while, there was no sound outside the door. He breathed a sigh of relief and thought, maybe someone was joking with him, and he was too suspicious. As if to prove him wrong, the knock on the door rang again, three times—boom, boom, boom. It seemed that some gods were reminding Niu Tradition, he suddenly came up with a solution - call the police!Thinking of this, he quickly took out his mobile phone and pressed the alarm number. After a few seconds, the call was connected. Niu Chuanli said in a trembling voice: "Go back to room 201 of the hotel, someone is going to kill me..." Suddenly there were footsteps outside the door.The footsteps were light and slow, as if a person was walking on tiptoe.He walked and stopped, not knowing whether to come over or leave... Niu Tradition did not dare to speak out. He wanted to yell, but in the end he couldn't do so, as his throat seemed to be stuck by something.At this time, the footsteps slowly disappeared, and it was unknown whether they had left or stopped outside the door. Niu Traditional retreated to the bed, hid in the bed, shivering. A few minutes later, the knock on the door rang again, very hurriedly. Niu Chuantong was so frightened that he wanted to jump off the building to escape, but there was a security net on the window... He sat up, grabbed the quilt, and stared at the door, which was a door that was about to kill him. The knock on the door became more and more urgent. Suddenly, the door was knocked open, and two policemen broke in. "Mom—" Niu Chuanqi couldn't help moaning. A few minutes later, the two policemen were surprised after listening to his narration. One of the older policemen said, "Play it again, and I'll take a look." Niu traditionally walked to the DVD and pressed the play button. A strange thing happened—the Niu tradition did not appear on TV, but a very mediocre criminal investigation drama.Before finishing watching, the two policemen started to yawn, as if they had already guessed the ending. "Tell me, what's going on?" The policeman's voice became severe. Niu Zhongtong opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. The scene in front of him surprised him so much that he had nothing to say. The policeman sniffled and said, "Have you been drinking?" "Drink, I drank a little." Niu Chuanfu said hesitantly, "Not much, just drank two taels." "Take out your ID card and have a look." Niu Chuanzhong quickly took out his ID card and handed it to him. The policeman carefully checked his ID card, looked at him for a while, and finally said: "Sleep honestly after drinking, don't mess around, do you hear me?" "I'm not fooling..." Niu Chuanjian swallowed his words again, knowing that he couldn't explain clearly, he lowered his head and whispered, "Got it, I'm going to sleep now, and I don't dare to mess around." The two policemen criticized him a few more words before leaving. That night, Niu Chuanchuan did not fall asleep.As soon as he closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to hear the terrible footsteps... He didn't know what would make him feel even more horrified. After all, this is just the beginning.
