Chapter 2776 Phantom Chamber (Part )
After closing the door, Schiller sighed. The coordinates sent by little Bruce were too vague. The coordinates were equivalent to an area within a range of 5 kilometers x 5 kilometers. If he had not inferred that this might be a room number of a hotel based on the last four digits 1905, he would probably not be able to find the specific location until tomorrow morning.
Schiller turned his head and glanced at the living room, but didn't find anything wrong. The decoration of the Wayne Hotel tended to be luxurious Victorian style. The room was covered with dark green carpets, the walls were a deep blood-red, and the upper part was decorated with rich black, mostly bright gold. The atmosphere was dark and gorgeous.
There was an electric fireplace on the left side of the sofa. The flickering flames shone on the window, turning the raindrops on the window into scattered pearls. Schiller picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, which was playing a midnight TV series. The light from the TV completely illuminated the room.
Pushing open the door, the bedroom was also unremarkable. The overall tone was still dark, but the floor had become a pattern. The soft big bed was covered with silk sheets and the quilt was burgundy.
There was a bottle of red wine on the bedside table. Schiller picked it up and found a label on the back saying it was a free gift. Schiller looked carefully at the origin and year and found that it was just the most ordinary Bordeaux red wine, worth about 200 US dollars.
After putting down the wine, Schiller checked the sheets and quilt covers. There was nothing under the quilt, and the same was true under the sheets. The bed was a very thick solid wood model, so there was no bed bottom at all. In the drawer of the bedside table, there was only the remote control and batteries for the central air conditioner, as well as a travel brochure introducing the hotel. There was nothing else.
Then Schiller went to the bathroom in the master bedroom. The manager said that the toilet here was broken, but there was still nothing unusual in the bathroom. Schiller went over to check the bathtub first. The shower head was able to discharge water normally, but there was some harsh sound when turning the faucet used to drain water from the bathtub, but there was no problem with the water coming out.
The bathtub's drain seemed fine, but it was a little slow, and Schiller suspected it might be blocked by something, but when he took a closer look he saw nothing.
The next focus was the toilet. After Schiller pressed the flush button, he moved as far away as possible. Sure enough, the toilet was flushing water downwards at first, but for some reason it suddenly started to spray water. Although what was sprayed out was just the tap water in the tank, it still got on the surrounding ground and even wet the carpet at the bathroom door.
Schiller clicked his tongue, shook his head, took out cleaning supplies from the bathroom cabinet, mopped the floor, and closed the bathroom door. He didn't plan to use it again until the repairman came.
He walked back and sat on the sofa, took out his mobile phone, and then something unusual happened: there was no signal on the phone.
Schiller moved towards the balcony with his phone in hand. He kept staring at the screen, but suddenly, out of the corner of his eye he noticed that the scenery outside the window had changed.
The huge dark city disappeared, and a building approached rapidly from a distance until it was less than 20 meters away from the window. It was another hotel. The window of 1905 faced the window of 1905, and there was also a figure standing in front of the window.
Schiller immediately turned his head and looked out the window, only to find that the familiar Gotham scenery was still outside the window, as if the moment just now was just an illusion. When Schiller looked at his phone again, the signal was full again.
Schiller tried to make a random call and found that there was no problem. The network and other things were normal. Even when he walked back into the room with the phone, there was still a signal, and there was also automatic WiFi access, so he could browse the web.
But Schiller did not choose to go online. Instead, he immediately opened the communication channel of Doujie and sent a message to one of the avatars, "Have you arrived?"
"I'll be there soon, Doctor. Please wait a moment."
A figure hurriedly passed through the hotel's revolving door and ran to the front desk as fast as he could. He took a breath, smiled at the red-haired lady at the front desk and said, "Hello, I'm looking for someone."
"Who are you looking for?" the lady at the front desk asked without even looking up.
"Uh, a gentleman from room 1905. He should have checked in 20 minutes ago. His name is Nyog Sosip."
"Let me check for you... Uh, which room did you say?"
"1905."
"Room 1905 is not booked yet. Did your friend give the wrong room number?"
The young man was stunned. He took off his hat, revealing Peter Parker's face. He sent a message using the Doujie system, "Mr. Soship, they said that room 1905 is not booked. Did you get the wrong room number?"
Schiller widened his eyes slightly. He asked Peter to confirm again, but from Peter's reply, he asked several times and the other party said that Room 1905 was not booked at all and he had no impression of the name Sosip.
Schiller looked out the window again. The scenery outside had not changed at all, so he moved closer to the window with his phone.
He stared at the screen of his mobile phone. Suddenly, the signal flickered for a moment. In his peripheral vision, he saw another Wayne Hotel approaching quickly. This time, Schiller stayed longer. He saw that in another window that was almost close to him, the two people were doing the same thing, both looking down at their phones.
But suddenly, the figure in the window disappeared, Schiller's cell phone signal was restored, and the scenery outside the window also returned.
Schiller seemed to understand a little, so he sent a message to Peter, saying, "Book room 1905 and come quickly."
Peter nodded in confusion and said to the front desk, "Hello, I'd like to book room 1905."
"No, we can't book it." The receptionist raised her eyelids a little tiredly and said, "The toilet is broken. No one is going to fix it today. If it sprays you with water, there's nothing we can do."
"It's okay. I'll book room 1905 now." Peter took out his driver's license and said, "You can pay more, please, ma'am."
One hand took the driver's license, looked it up and down, and the receptionist sitting at the desk sighed and said, "Okay, another one who doesn't believe in evil. I hope you can hold on for a little longer. Okay, here's your room card. Go in quickly and don't come out unless necessary."
Peter nodded and walked towards the elevator. When the elevator door opened, a man walked out. The man in a suit walked quickly to the front desk and said, "I'm 1903. I want to extend my stay for three days. Please process it for me quickly."
"This hotel is quite popular." Peter whispered. He looked up at the luxurious decoration in the elevator and said, "Fortunately, the mysterious Black Sun gave me enough budget, otherwise I couldn't afford to stay in such a hotel."
Peter sighed softly in his heart again. He learned from Bruce who had merged with the Earth that the Fighting World had reopened. He was thinking about taking advantage of the last ten days to prepare well and get a good result in the Fighting World. It was better than being forced to read by the Black Sun.
As a result, just yesterday, his great, mysterious and omniscient Lord gave him a cosmic coordinate and asked him to come here on a business trip. On the way, he reminded him that he had to check into a hotel, but he didn't say why he had to come here, why he had to stay in a hotel, and what he would do after checking into the hotel.
Fortunately, he was not traveling alone this time. Black Sun told him that there was another historian traveling with him, and the two of them just needed to meet at the hotel. He also gave him the other party's Doujie ID, and they added each other as friends so they could keep in touch at any time.
Holding the room card, he entered the elevator, which opened soon. Peter walked out the door and saw the sign for the 19th floor. He looked left and right and chose to walk left. He walked all the way to the end of the corridor and saw the house number 1905.
He knocked on the door and said, "Doc, are you there? Doc?"
No one answered, so Peter used the communication system to ask again, but Dr. Sosip just said he was in the room, but there was no knock on the door. Peter was a little helpless and had to shout, "Then I'll open the door."
He used the room card to open the door. There was nothing inside. Peter closed the door first and then walked deeper.
Peter walked into the living room and found that the light was not on. After turning on the light, he still didn't see anyone. He had no choice but to knock on the bedroom door. After pressing the doorknob and pushing the door open, there was still no one inside. Peter had no choice but to go to the bathroom.
As soon as he opened the bathroom door, as expected, there was still no one inside. However, with the help of the reflection of the light, Peter found a puddle of water on the ground, and it seemed that the toilet was indeed broken.
Peter really didn't know what was going on, but he felt that sending messages one by one was too inefficient, so he simply clicked on the voice call.
"Hey, Doc, can you hear me? Are you sure you're in room 1905? I don't see you at all."
"I'm sure I'm here, Peter, turn on the video call and I'll give you the house number."
Peter turned on the video call and saw the other party walk out of a living room that was exactly the same as his and open the same door. Looking up, he saw a sign hanging on the door with the cursive numbers "1905".
Peter was very surprised. He also walked out and stared at the sign on the door. He knew that video calls in the fighting world could perfectly present the other party's perspective. This meant that both he and his side were in Room 1905. Could it be that this hotel had two Room 1905s?
"Peter, tell me everything that happened to you from the moment you entered the hotel until now. Be very detailed, down to every expression and every word of every person. You should be able to remember it, right?"
"Of course, I can." Peter began to recount all his experiences, but he was interrupted before he could say a few words.
"You mean the red-haired lady at the front desk was sitting when you came in?"
"Yes, and she was a little impatient. I felt that she was very tired, probably because of the night shift." Peter sighed and said, "She didn't even look at me straight in the eye. It seemed that she disliked me."
Then Peter started to speak, but was interrupted after a few words. He heard the other party ask him again, "Are you saying that after the elevator door opened, a man in a suit came out and said he was the occupant of Room 1903 and asked to stay for another three days?"
Peter said, "Yes, he looks very anxious. Maybe there are not many rooms available."
Peter continued to talk, but the other party interrupted him after a few words. He asked, "Did you turn left after you got out of the elevator?"
"Yes, to the left."
Schiller on the other end of the line recalled the route the manager had taken him. He went in the opposite direction of Peter, and he remembered very clearly that he had turned right at that time.
