The sound of the door closing gave all the visitors a fright, and they all turned to look at Chen Ge.
"If I don't close the door, I have a feeling that something will come. To avoid being attacked from both sides, it's better to close the door."
Chen Ge found a random excuse and turned to the police officer. "Have you been to this scenario before?"
"Yes, the hotel is a buffer zone for the visitors to relax. After this scenario is over, we only need to experience one more scenario to clear the scenario."
Hearing that, everyone perked up. This nightmarish Haunted House visit was about to end.
"Buffer zone? In other words, this scenario isn't scary? "Chen Ge rarely saw a buffer zone built inside a Haunted House.
"There are no ghosts in this scenario. There are twelve rooms, and one of them is hiding a murderer. We only need to avoid the murderer's pursuit and find the hidden path inside the hotel to escape. "The police officer did not hide it anymore. He also wanted to leave this Haunted House as soon as possible.
"Where was the hidden path when you were here last time?"
"The hidden path is not fixed. Each of the twelve rooms has a hidden path, but only one room's hidden path is unlocked. This scenario depends on luck. The first door we open might lead to an unlocked hidden path, or the first door we open might lead to a murderer. " The police officer shrugged. "I've told you everything I know. If there's another accident, don't blame me."
"Medium difficulty has twelve rooms with a murderer and an unlocked secret passage. In Hell difficulty, it's very likely that all the secret passages are locked, and every room has a murderer hiding in it." Chen Ge stood near the bar counter. He turned to the bespectacled man. "Detective, did you get any hint?"
"Yes, I got the message when we entered this scenario." The bespectacled man showed the message on his watch to the group — 'Do not open the doors carelessly.'
"Looks like Chen Ge was right. There might be a murderer hiding in each of the twelve rooms, and that's why he told us not to open the doors carelessly." The police officer laughed drily. If that was the case, then the clue he provided would be useless.
"Shh, don't say anything." Chen Ge suddenly raised his hand. With Ghost Ear, he heard the sound of moving footsteps and a woman's crazed laughter.
The voice was very weak, and it came from underground.
"This hotel is not as simple as it looks on the surface. There might be several floors. No matter how scary the upper floors are, they are just the surface. The lower floors are the real tricky places." Chen Ge's voice was very low, and it made people's hair stand on end.
"How do you know all this?" The woman with long black hair asked in a low voice. Her impression of Chen Ge had greatly changed.
"A Haunted House that truly pursues the scariest experience will not set up a buffer in the scenario. Wave after wave of scares is the goal of the Haunted House designers." Chen Ge would not tell the other visitors that even if there was a buffer zone inside a Haunted House with a Red Specter, the buffer zone would not be as effective, so they had to be careful at all times.
"The information given by the police is that opening the door will lead to the secret passage, but the hint given by the detective is not to open the door. This is very contradictory. Who should we listen to now?" Chen Ge then turned to the youngest man. "All of us have told you our occupation, except for you. We've been together for so long, and you still don't trust us?"
The young man shook his head. "It's not that I don't trust everyone, but my power is very important, and it can only be used once."
Chen Ge did not force it. Time was limited. All the visitors started to split up to search the hotel, and they soon discovered many strange things.
The hotel was the biggest scenario they had entered so far. It was divided into three floors. There were two floors above ground, and each floor had six rooms. There was a floor underground, but the path that led underground was locked by a steel door.
There was a staircase on the left and right side of the hotel. On the surface, the corridor looked normal, but if one looked closer, they would see many marks of being smashed by blunt objects. There were nail holes on the door, and there were blood stains on the ground that had not been cleaned.
Other than that, Chen Ge found many pages that looked like they were torn from detective novels. They were written in red paint with the time of the morning and the location of the person's death.
The corners of the hotel were also painted with complicated symbols like the graffiti of demons.
Even though the whole scenario was not as professional as Chen Ge's Haunted House, it was still a good seven. The atmosphere was not bad.
"There is no way out. The exit should be hidden inside the room like the police said." The few visitors gathered at the bar counter again. They were discussing whether they should push the door open to try their luck. Chen Ge stood to the side and did not say anything.
"What are you thinking about?" The police officer noticed Chen Ge's strange behavior.
"The clock on the wall has been moving." Chen Ge pointed at the top of the bar counter. There was an inconspicuous clock hanging on the dirty wall.
"Isn't it normal for the clock to be moving?" The police officer was confused.
"Look closely. This clock is moving backward. When we entered this place, it was 3 am, but now it's 2: 54 am."
"A clock that is moving backward? What does that mean? "
"I don't know." Chen Ge shook his head. "Let's ignore the clock for now. Earlier, you said that the secret path is hidden inside the room. If we want to leave, we have to push open the door. I've focused on the doors of the twelve guest rooms, and I realized that each of the doors has been hammered with small holes using nails."
"Holes? Are they for us to look inside the room through the holes? "The visitors could not help but gather toward Chen Ge.
"Shouldn't be. The other side of the door is reinforced with a layer of wood, so we won't be able to look inside the room through the holes." Chen Ge took out his phone. "The positions of the holes on each door are different. Some of them looked familiar, so I tried to connect them with a string, and I found something surprising."
"What is it?"
"The holes that are hammered by nails represent the stars. Connecting all the stars on the door will form a constellation. The first door is Aries, and the second door is Taurus. These twelve doors correspond to the twelve signs of the zodiac."
When the visitors heard Chen Ge's analysis, they were shocked. They felt like even though they were in the same scenario as Chen Ge, they were playing a different game.
"Then … what kind of hint can the twelve signs of the zodiac give us?" The police officer was afraid of interrupting Chen Ge's thinking, so he lowered his voice.
"That's where the trouble lies. The twelve signs of the zodiac have many meanings. They are constellations, they can correspond to time, and they can be used as passwords." Chen Ge looked at his phone. "The word 'zoo' comes from Greek, and it originally means' zoo '. The animals inside the zoo are definitely not humans. Could it be that it's warning us that the tenants behind the door are not humans? That matches the information that the detective received. "
Shaking his head, Chen Ge frowned. "I'm not that good at puzzle-solving. This level has hit my blind spot."
Looking at the troubled Chen Ge, the other visitors did not dare say anything.
