Chapter 496 [Domain - First Gate] Stealing the Head
Room 2013 on the second floor.
The moment the elevator doors closed, Xu Sandao carefully pushed them open and slipped inside.
The room was extremely dark.
A pungent, dusty smell filled the air, but Xu Sandao didn't have time to find the source of the smell.
He knew very well that Chen Ji couldn't hold out for long and that he had to get the head as soon as possible.
However, with Du Tingfeng guarding the corridor, Xu Sandao wasn't too worried about being trapped in the room by the ghost couple.
The only problem is.
Where is the backpack?
The curtains in the guest room were drawn tightly, and there was only a small nightlight emitting a pale white light that was strangely small in area, barely illuminating a corner of the desk.
To be precise, this night light serves more as decoration than as illumination.
As soon as he entered, Xu Sandao felt around on the wall to make sure there were no other switches.
It's like hotel guests who don't need to turn on the lights at all.
With footsteps as quiet as a cat, Xu Sandao silently walked to the window and looked at the desk.
The desk was completely empty.
He tried moving the nightlight and found that he could grab it easily; it was as light as a feather and there was no power cord.
Raise the nightlight high.
Xu Sandao looked around and basically confirmed the layout of room 2013. It was very simple: a bed and a table, nothing more, not even a cabinet.
The ghost couple did not take their backpacks when they left.
If it's not on the desk, then it's on the bed?
Bend down, Xu Sandao touched the bed; it was icy cold to the touch, and he could feel several creases.
This confirmed to him that the two ghosts had been in contact with the bed.
soon.
Between the two pillows, he glimpsed a corner of black fabric; the backpack was hidden there!
Without further hesitation, Xu Sandao immediately pulled open the pillow, and sure enough, underneath was a bulging backpack with a slight bulge in the middle, as if it contained some kind of ball-shaped object.
Chen Ji's guess was correct.
The head was in the backpack.
"Can't this head go out and find a body on its own?"
Xu Sandao seemed to be deep in thought. From Chen's very simple description and his own previous observations, he had vaguely glimpsed the relationship between the three ghosts.
They know each other.
The couple clearly didn't want the headless ghost to check in.
Otherwise, they wouldn't need to take the head separately.
The headless ghost, driven only by instinct, wanders the hotel killing people. The couple's abandoned suitcase happens to be located in the lobby, making the receptionist the most likely victim.
Once the receptionist dies, even if the headless ghost gains a head, it won't be able to register.
Without an identity or a room, this ghost doesn't belong to the guests, so how long can it stay in the hotel?
Even if this receptionist dies, a new receptionist will appear at eight o'clock in the morning...
Xu Sandao's eyes flickered slightly, already understanding that the headless ghost would disappear after eight o'clock.
That also means that Chen Ji's front desk work was not completed.
While pondering, Xu Sandao had already reached for his backpack and was about to put his hand inside, but at that moment, a strange feeling suddenly flashed through his mind.
As if electrocuted, he instantly withdrew his hand!
He had almost slipped his fingers into his bag without any resistance, but...
Xu Sandao remembered it very clearly.
The backpack zipper wasn't even that open.
It was half open before.
He held the nightlight closer, illuminating the opening of his backpack, and his breath caught in his throat for a second.
The backpack zipper was fully open, hanging wide.
After the ghost couple entered the house, did they touch the things in the schoolbag?
But the head was not removed.
So what's the point of them opening their backpacks?
Check, or...?
Displacement.
The moment this word popped into Xu Sandao's mind, his heart skipped a beat. He remembered how, in order to prevent problems with their heads, the men in a couple would even press their heads against their own bodies.
I didn't get off until I got into the elevator.
After changing, she held it tightly to her chest.
Even glancing at them for too long would result in a warning from these two ghosts.
In other words, they care a lot about this head.
If you care about it, why did both ghosts leave, leaving such an important thing so openly in the house without even zipping it up?
and.....
The male ghost carried the female ghost out.
But Xu Sandao only saw the female ghost's back.
Where is her head?
Xu Sandao's gaze slowly moved downwards, his fingers gripping the edge of the bag, and he pulled it outwards.
hiss.
He was right.
Upon catching a glimpse of a strand of black hair peeking out from the bag, Xu Sandao snapped his fingers away and swiftly retreated!
At the same moment, the bag suddenly trembled.
The headless ghost is bald!
The head in the backpack belongs to the female ghost from the couple.
That neurotic female ghost left her head in the room to prevent anyone from coming in and stealing it!
The backpack was left open so that it would be easier for her to get in and out.
The sound of rustling fabric came from behind me.
Wow.
Xu Sandao moved with lightning speed, putting the lamp back in its original position in an instant!
Wow.
Something is being squeezed out of the backpack.
One second later.
A very faint noise came from the bed.
It felt like a metal zipper bumped against something.
Immediately afterward, a soft, almost inaudible whistling sound filled the air in the room.
The female ghost's head....
It popped out of the backpack.
It was hovering in the air, with two protruding, enormous eyeballs scanning the room.
It sensed the light.
But the light source disappeared in an instant, while the only nightlight in the room remained properly placed on the table.
Apart from that, there wasn't a single person in the entire guest room.
under the bed.
Xu Sandao frowned.
The faint sound of wind breaking through the air continued, proving that the female ghost's head was still moving.
Clearly, it sensed that something was wrong.
However, Xu Sandao had already shrunk under the bed before it fully emerged.
There is almost nowhere else to hide except here.
This applies not only to Xu Sandao himself, but also to the headless ghost's head.
Feeling the cold touch on his face, Xu Sandao's lips twitched slightly. At this moment, his face was pressed tightly against another head.
Just by turning your head, you can see that pale, lifeless face.
Smooth, cold, and lifeless, like an egg forgotten in the refrigerator.
The headless ghost's head was hidden under the bed.
But Xu Sandao felt no joy at finding the end!
First of all, the female ghost is outside, so even if he finds her head, he can't take it out.
Moreover, the ghost itself knows that its head is under the bed, and as long as it doesn't dispel its doubts, it will inevitably check under the bed.
In fact, it's already getting close.
The wind was getting stronger.
A strange clapping sound came from the guest room, like sandpaper rubbing together, or like someone grinding their teeth anxiously.
Accompanied by this extremely unpleasant teeth grinding sound, Xu Sandao's heart pounded rapidly until a strand of hair fell from the bedside and caught his eye, at which point his heartbeat reached its peak!
thump.
That's when.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
