Chapter 9 Twelve Corpses
It was the dead body of a human male, there was no doubt about it.
This person was estimated to be in his thirties, wearing an ordinary shirt and jeans. His face was distorted in a frightened manner, his eyes were closed, his slightly squinted eyes were all white, and he was in intense fear before he died.
There are several irregular blood holes on his chest. The blood has long dried up, and the area around the wound has shrunk and turned dark red. Strangely, there are no corpse spots on his exposed skin, showing a mummified state without the smell of decay.
taste.
Especially the hands, which looked curled up like chicken feet and had a dull luster, looked very scary and made people feel numb.
But the most eye-catching thing was the thick iron nail driven into his chest.
The iron nail was silver in color, with brown rust on the part close to the human body, and was as thick as a baby's arm. At first glance, although several people did not actually turn the body over, there was an iron nail that firmly nailed the body to the bed.
Feel.
Facing such a strange and terrifying corpse, Edith's face turned pale with fear and fright, and she directly hugged Bud's arm, barely saying "Big Brother, take me".
Anderson was not much better. His eyes were wide open, his breathing was very light, he stared at the dead body without blinking, his vigilance was at full alert, and his whole limbs were stiff and unable to move.
Wei Miao looked carefully. There were many strange things about this corpse. What was the purpose of nailing the corpse to the bed, and who did it?
Bude's face was ugly, and his hand holding the sheets was hovering in mid-air without knowing where to place it.
Suddenly, he reacted suddenly, flicked his arm hard, and with the sound of hunting noises breaking through the air, the sheets covered the strange corpse again, cutting off everyone's sight.
He glanced nervously at the door and said depressingly: "Let's go, go out first."
Several people almost couldn't wait to leave the room.
However, standing in the empty corridor, even if the weather is still good, the uneasiness in my heart is gradually growing. This is my own psychological suggestion and pressure. I always feel that something is watching them in the dark, and I am always worried that something will suddenly appear.
Something comes that shouldn't be there.
Bude knew that he was the anchor of the team at this moment, so he pretended to be calm and closed the door of 701, so that even if there were any changes inside, it would be slightly blocked. The quality of the hotel door was trustworthy.
Wei Miao's eyes inadvertently looked at the door handle, and her eyes lit up. She found that there were dense scratches on the surface of the wooden board above the handle. The marks were shallow and not obvious on the milky white paint surface.
These scratches were intertwined with each other. Wei Miao used her right hand to simulate the action of opening the door out of thin air. To create these scratches, she could only make it while grasping.
The condition for achieving this is that the door opener has claws like those of a beast, even longer and sharper.
Moreover, the opening action was performed many times.
Bude didn't seem to notice this strangeness, or in other words, he couldn't think calmly now. He looked at the other three people: "Do you want to continue the investigation?"
"Let's read it all at once. I don't want to do it all over again in the future." Wei Miao had to speak out at this moment. She couldn't let these good teammates leave just like that. If we still want to search again, we can only come back tomorrow, but the sooner we can get the clues.
The better.
She thought it would be unsafe to let her explore the remaining rooms alone.
"That makes sense." Bude was convinced by her, and Edith and Anderson acquiesced in the decision.
So, the four of them moved forward again and walked to 702.
The door of 702 was open like 701. With the experience of 701, this time, although the four of them were still cautious, they kept walking. After turning on the light, they went straight to the inner bedroom.
"Again!" Anderson couldn't help but shout.
I saw that the bed inside was the same as before, with a human body covered with white cloth lying flat on it.
Bude already had psychological immunity this time. He walked to the end of the bed and lifted up the white cloth.
A female human corpse appeared in front of us. She was dressed in ordinary clothes. The wound on her chest was similar to that of the male corpse of 701. Her hair was disheveled and her face was terrifying. Just one look at it made people feel a chill on their backs, and a chill rushed up from the soles of their feet.
There was also a thick iron nail hammered into her chest.
No one dared to step forward and touch her, so the four of them quickly covered themselves with white cloths and walked out of the room.
Next, they bravely checked the remaining rooms.
The doors from 701 to 712 were all open without exception, and Wei Miao deliberately noticed the scratches on the door. The most horrifying thing was that there was a dead body nailed to the bed in each room, with the expression on his face fixed before death.
They all expressed panic, and their physical symptoms were similar.
Twelve rooms, twelve dead bodies nailed!
The four of them were silent all the way, and the atmosphere was depressing and sensitive. After checking the twelve rooms, they felt that being on the seventh floor was no different from being in the morgue. They were sweating coldly, and they were in a tense state where the wind was shaking, the trees and grass were all at war, commonly known as "themselves"
Scare yourself”.
But at the end of the corridor, everyone was surprised to see that room 713 was different.
Its door is closed!
Everyone's numb nerves became active again, and Wei Miao heard Anderson's heavy and rapid breathing beside him. In this silent corridor, no matter what the movement was, he could clearly hear it.
Fortunately, there is a transparent glass wall at the end of the corridor. The light from the summer sun outside fills the place, which prevents them from being creepy.
Wei Miao noticed that there was a key card inserted into the groove of the door, but there were no scratches on the door panel?!
Across the door, Bude hesitated again.
The unknown is always fascinating and scary.
He raised his shield and turned the doorknob.
The door opened.
Through the light from the balcony, you can see the general layout of the rooms.
Bude turned his head and looked at the three people behind him. Their eyes looked at him with obvious rejection.
Edith had already let go of his hand, stood behind Anderson, and gave him a relieved smile.
These idiots...
Bude was speechless and helpless. He gritted his teeth, turned on the light at the speed of light, and moved inward to lie down.
Three people followed him.
But when he saw the scene of sleeping inside, Bude screamed in surprise and did not retreat. This sent a signal to everyone that the front was not scary.
The scene was somewhat beyond Wei Miao's expectation.
Generally speaking, in a hotel room, the bed takes up most of the space, leaving only room for feet. This is also the case in this hotel.
But the people from 713 set up the bed horizontally and placed it against the wall, which freed up a lot of space.
In the specially vacated space, the white ceramic tiles were corroded by something unknown and had grooves. The lines of the grooves combined to form a mysterious pattern, covering an area of about nine square meters.
The main body of the pattern is a round-edged six-pointed star. The interior is composed of complex arcs and straight lines. The center is a small circle, which is sunken downwards into a hemispheric shape. The whole is symmetrical on both sides, like a complex and exquisite work of art, dark and gorgeous.
, curiosity.
It is very similar to the ancient formation in mysticism.
The grooves have an unknown dark red color, which seems to be the product of blood coagulation.
What is surprising is that there are wooden chairs with backrests placed at the three corners of one of the equilateral triangles of the six-pointed star, and they are placed in the opposite direction, with the back of the chair facing the magic circle.
A sense of absurdity in the sacrificial ceremony came over me!
Please read the comments for the magic circle, I really can’t find how to post the picture at the end of the article.
PS: I drew this circle using the drawing software that comes with my computer. If you think it’s good, you might as well give it a like!
