Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The four of them were about to go upstairs when David added, “The 13th floor is a restricted area of this hotel. I advise you not to join in the fun.”
Mary and the others returned to their rooms.
Hugh drank several glasses of water before he recovered.
Adela’s voice trembled as she asked, “The 13th floor! Are we going?”
Herman and Hugh both looked at Mary.
Mary hugged herself and said calmly, “Let’s rest tonight and see what happens to the people who go there.”
Herman agreed, “Since there are already people going there tonight, let’s see what happens to them.”
Everyone agreed..
After lunch, no one dared to take a nap, so Adela suggested playing cards.
That kind of entertainment could reduce the atmosphere of fear and would be a good time to kill time.
But Mary still wanted to stroll around the hotel first, because she was in a hurry to find her partner, Iron Wolf.
Herman said to her, “After dinner I’ll accompany you to stroll for an hour, now play poker to relax.”
Mary had to agree.
Time passed quickly.
The four of them went to the restaurant for dinner again.
There were more people eating dinner than at noon.
It might be because there were more people staying in the afternoon, or it might be because Mary and the others had missed the real restaurant in the afternoon, so they were not all the guests in the hotel.
“There are about seventy or eighty people!” Adela sat down after counting.
He was looking at the menu. In order to deal with the grumpy fat woman, he decided to order all the favorite food they needed in one go later.
Mary was surprised, “So many people? This hotel’s business is much better than I thought!”
Herman said, “Probably most of them were attracted by the post. After all, 500,000 dollars is a lot in the eyes of ordinary people. It’s worth the risk.”
Mary snorted. “People die for money and birds die for food. It seems that everyone thinks that the disappearance of at least 100 people in this hotel every year will not happen to them.”
Hugh looked at Mary hesitantly, “Do you think there is something wrong with this post?”
Hugh caught the main point this time and finally looked like a writer!
Mary nodded, “Yes. Catching a ghost is such a mysterious matter, but there is actually a reward of 500,000 US dollars. I really don’t know what the motive of the person behind this matter is!”
Adela exclaimed, “Of course I’m curious about whether there is really a ghost in this hotel!”
Herman shook his head. “No. What Mary means is that no one will ever get this bounty.”
Adela became more and more confused as he listened. He even scratched the braid on his head in distress. “Why can’t I understand what Master Herman and Lady Mary are talking about!”
Mary was about to explain when the fat lady came.
As she was about to quickly order the dishes, the fat lady tapped her pen on her notebook and said mercilessly, “Only the hamburger set will be served tonight.”
Everyone was silent.
After dinner, the four of them immediately went back to their respective bedrooms.
The night was long, and they did not know what would happen that night…
Strangely, nothing happened.
The next morning, Mary was still washing up when they came knocking on the door.
Mary saw that Hugh had a pair of dark circles under his eyes and asked him, “Did you have a burst of inspiration last night and stay up late writing?”
Hugh sighed in distress. “That’s not true. Last night, some kids were running and jumping around in the hallway. I couldn’t fall asleep because of them!”
Mary looked at Herman with a strange expression. “Why didn’t I hear the kids playing? Did you hear it?”
Herman shook his head.
Adela nodded frantically. “I heard it too! Miss Mary, didn’t you hear it?”
Mary shook her head. “Indeed, I didn’t hear any sounds of children playing.”
The room immediately became silent, and the atmosphere became strange and terrifying.
Adela crossed her arms and didn’t cry when there was a commotion outside.
The four of them quickly went out to take a look. The guests in the other rooms in the corridor came out and were discussing.
“I heard that someone went on an expedition on the 13th floor last night. Two of them died at the door of that room. The rest are gone!”
“They died so tragically. Their intestines are leaking out…”
The four of them looked at each other and quickly went to the 13th floor together.
The bodies had been covered with white cloth. Finally, a person in charge of the hotel came out and said that he wanted to wait for the police to arrive.
Someone in the crowd asked, “Where are the rest?”?
The person in charge of the hotel actually said that he did not know anything.
Mary saw that there was an iron door in front of the room where the two bodies were lying. The iron door was locked with a big iron lock. There seemed to be a rune on the wooden door behind the iron lock…
Mary was about to communicate with Hugh when Hugh suddenly shouted, “Griffith! Stop!”
Herman and Hugh’s faces changed!
The two of them ran to the other side.
Mary didn’t know what had happened, but she quickly followed along with Adela.
Griffith?
The third son of the Hall family, the arrogant and melancholy third brother that Mary had met once?
Wasn’t Griffith on a worldwide concert tour?
What was he doing here?
