The 'knock, knock' on the door continued, and as soon as I put my hand on the doorknob, I froze in place. The sound was not coming from outside, but from inside the room.
I retreated two steps in a hurry, nervously looking at the door.
Although the sound was ringing, I couldn't see anything knocking on the door at all.
Just when I was at a loss, the knocking suddenly stopped. Just as I breathed a sigh of relief, the knocking sound came again.
My heart almost jumped out of my throat, and I swallowed hard. A pleasant, bell-like voice came from outside, "Excuse me, is there anyone inside?"
It was a voice from outside, and at this moment, being alone in the room made me a little afraid. Whatever this woman outside wanted to do, at least being with her could give me some courage.
I quickly opened the door, and in front of me stood a tall woman. Few women in the hotel service business dressed so plainly. She had her hair tied in a ponytail, and was wearing a black spaghetti strap dress, leaning against the wall, blinking at me.
"Sir, I'm sorry to have woken you up so late," the woman's apologetic face had a touch of pity.
I quickly avoided looking at her face and said with a dry smile, "You didn't wake me up, I wasn't asleep at all."
The woman glanced inside the room and asked, "Alone?"
I nodded.
She asked again, "Can I come in?"
I moved over to let her in, and she wandered around the room, finally sitting on the bed and smiling at me, "What are you staring at? Sit."
It's not that I didn't dare to sit down, but I was afraid she might suddenly attack me. After all, I let her in just to be in the same room as me, which made me feel a bit more confident.
I gave a forced smile and sat on the nearby sofa. Avoiding the previous topic, I smiled and asked, "By the way, what's your name?"
The woman flashed a charming smile and said, "My name is Yu Rubing, and you?"
"Yin Mingyang!" After introducing myself, I asked with a smile, "What are you doing knocking on the door in the middle of the night?"
With a smile, Yu Rubing said, "I'm looking for someone."
I instinctively asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Someone who appreciates me," Yu Rubing said, and before I could respond to her words, she continued, "Also, someone who harmed me, someone who pushed me into a fire pit."
This made me stunned for a moment, not knowing what it meant.
Yu Rubing smiled and said, "Is it hard to understand? Actually, I also feel the same way, but sometimes I don't think so."
I was even more puzzled and inquired hurriedly, "What do you mean?"
"Because I feel that there is not a single good man in the world!" After she said this, pointing to the door, she said softly, "The man I deeply loved imprisoned me here. After so many years, I still remember clearly how he looped the rope around my neck, as if hanging me alive in the room."
As she talked, I felt a sudden cold wind in the room, and the temperature in the room instantly dropped to below zero.
Staring at her for a long time, I licked my dry lips and cautiously asked, "Are you already dead?"
"Yes, I am already dead!" Yu Rubing suddenly grinned and stuck out her tongue.
As her almost twenty-centimeter-long crimson tongue came out, I was so scared that I almost screamed. I quickly got up from the sofa, shouted in extreme fear.
Yu Rubing gave a cold laugh, her originally delicate face turning pale instantly, and her writhing crimson tongue moved towards me.
In that instant, my vision went black. I was very lucky to faint away at the most terrifying moment.
Though consciousness had fallen into a coma, my body could still feel the chilling air blowing over it. I didn't know how long had passed, and my body didn't feel any pain.
I opened my eyes suddenly and found myself lying in bed, the blanket had fallen to the ground, and the air conditioning vent was blowing directly at my body.
"A dream?" I patted my head and subconsciously looked towards the door, there was nothing there.
The dream from yesterday was very real, I remembered every word Yu Rubing said clearly. Thinking of her telling me in the dream that she had been strangled to death in this room, I hurriedly put on my clothes and ran to the hotel lobby.
The lobby manager had not yet changed shifts and frowned when he saw me.
Ignoring his dislike of me, I quickly summarized my words and asked, "Has anything ever happened in the room I'm staying in before?"
The lobby manager shook his head, "Nothing has ever happened, are you having hallucinations again?"
I shook my head, knowing that if they wanted to hide something, it would be impossible to know the details from the staff here. I smiled and said sorry then turned back to the room.
Lying on the bed, I pulled out my phone. Nowadays, the internet is very developed, and anything from thousands of years ago can be found on the internet.
After entering the name of the hotel I was in and my room number, and clicking search, the website immediately showed a lot of information.
I quickly glanced at it and found a post titled "Former Employee Risking It All to Reveal Murder at XX Hotel", and clicked on it.
It was written in the tone of an employee, and basically said that three years ago, a couple arrived in room 506. The man immediately paid half a month's room fee, and instructed the staff not to clean the room.
At first, the staff didn't notice anything unusual, after all, these customers didn't owe any room fees, so they didn't say anything.
But in the following days, the staff noticed a strange phenomenon. Although the man often entered and left the room, he never saw the woman step a foot outside.
This strange phenomenon caught the attention of some nosy people, who observed the man's actions. They noticed that he never brought anything in or out each time he entered and left, and it was impossible for the woman to stay in the room for so long without eating or drinking.
Just as they were feeling puzzled, the man disappeared without a trace on the tenth day. From that day on, many people could smell a stench emanating from Room 506.
By this time, the hotel staff no longer hesitated to ask about the man's previous words. After getting permission from their superiors, they opened the door to Room 506.
But at the moment they opened it, everyone present began to vomit.
A female corpse was hanging at the door of the room, the body already in a state of decay, with the ground covered in viscous corpse fluid, and the stench emanating from the corpse.
