Joker Game (Fei Gua) Chapter 88: It’s not 3 days and 2 sleeps. The first time.
"Flashback"
This is a strange thinking phenomenon that occurs to many people.
Specifically speaking, it is the feeling that the things in front of you have been seen before, sometimes it is a "memory", people can recall almost exactly the same situation they have experienced before; sometimes it is a special "familiarity", This is when you have a sense of familiarity with what is in front of you, but you can't pinpoint where it came from.
For example, you are sitting in a cafe, and your friend is sitting opposite, and he is excitedly telling you something. suddenly! There is a strange feeling in your heart. The surrounding environment, the soft lighting, the words of friends, the tone of speech, all of a sudden became very familiar; this moment, this place, this scene, seems to have been completely experienced at some point in the past.
That's probably how it feels.
Many explanations have emerged for this phenomenon, including time travel, supernatural powers, multidimensional space, hypnosis, insanity, and more. A more scientific explanation is "your brain deceives you." But in the final analysis, there is no clear answer to this phenomenon.
At this moment, Chen Xiao experienced such a momentary "memory flashback"
"Hmm..." He frowned, didn't continue to walk forward, but stood there not knowing what he was thinking, and spent a few seconds carefully observing the surrounding environment , Then he took out the key and opened the door of room "201".
...
There is nothing special about the door, the leaf is not too old, and the switch will not make any sound. The room is not big, but it looks clean. A TV, the socket is pulled out at the moment, and on the other side is a single bathroom with a shower head, and a small window on the side. Chen Xiao walked to the window and could see an open space downstairs. At this moment, three family cars and a small truck were parked. There was no cargo on the truck. Judging from the car prints around, all of them had just been parked here for no more than three days.
"According to the location here, the probability of coming to the store without driving is almost zero. You can't let people come here along the highway, that is to say, if one of them belongs to the boss, Then this hotel doesn’t count as me, there are already three groups of guests.” Chen Xiao thought, “Perhaps, the “abnormal item” is among these three groups of guests.”
Therefore, Chen Xiao immediately made a decision.
He opened the window, opened the door, sat on the bed, put on a paralyzed expression, and looked out the window.
Then everyone should have guessed it, his decision is...do nothing! Sit and wait!
...
Although it looks boring, this is indeed the best and most convenient way now. Think about it, a guest who just moved in first pokes the clock on the first floor, and then shakes it around. Wrapped in bandages, no matter how ugly he looks, no matter how weird his behavior is, it's like writing the words "I'm messing around" on his forehead, then everyone will pay attention to him, don't He said he was looking for an "abnormal item", and he was probably taken away by the police as a thief or a robber.
So what is Chen Xiao waiting for?
He's waiting for dinner!
Because as I said at the beginning, this place is really a bit remote, and there are no supermarkets and restaurants around, and the car on the open space behind the hotel shows that there should be several people living in a certain room around you at this moment.
Then, in all likelihood, these people will eat in the restaurant downstairs.
Of course, just to be on the safe side, I also listened to the movement of the stairs and looked out the window by the way, which was much safer than pushing people's doors around.
Not much to say.
The time came to 6 pm.
During this time, Chen Xiao has been sitting, thinking wildly, counting the seconds, feeling the movement in the corridor, looking at the yard outside the window, and listening to whether the door on the first floor has been pushed open. voice, while shaking his legs.
During this period, nothing happened.
"Well... it's almost time for dinner." Chen Xiao said to himself boredly.
As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged woman's voice came from the first floor.
"It's time to eat..."
The voice is loud, but there is no emotion, this voice makes Chen Xiao stunned......
"Huo~~ It seems that this voice is the proprietress, she really matches the boss, and is the service method of this hotel so primitive and rude? The meal time is based on "shouting"!"
Immediately afterwards, he heard the sound of a door being pushed open in the corridor, which sounded like the innermost room, that is, room "204".
Chen Xiao turned his head and looked at the door. After a while, a figure of a woman passed by the door. She was in her early 30s, dressed in a fairly fashionable way, with makeup on her face. She didn't seem to notice that Chen Xiao was looking at her, and walked straight down the stairs.
After about 20 seconds, two people's footsteps came from the stairs on the third floor. Chen Xiao turned sideways and saw a man and a woman clinging to each other as they walked down the stairs. The man was a little older , but less than thirty, and the woman looks like a college student.
Another 2 minutes passed...
Chen Xiao frowned: "Well... There should be another one, isn't it in the hotel? Is there something to eat? Or don't you want to eat?"
He was puzzled, and also got up and walked down the stairs.
As soon as he reached the first floor, Chen Xiao could smell a strong smell of oily smoke.
"Uh...it seems that the way of cooking is also very rough." He muttered and walked into the restaurant.
...
It is said to be a restaurant, but it is actually a 30-square-meter hut~IndoMTL.com~ A round table is set up, and the place near the window is separated by a glass door. You can see a kitchen inside. The middle-aged woman who could compete with the "landlord aunt" came out with two dishes and put them on the table.
At this moment, there are already three people around the table, that is, the "couple" and the woman who lives in room "204". It can be seen from their expressions that they don't like this way of eating very much. But there is no way, after all, there is only this hotel nearby.
Chen Xiao put on an expression that he thought he was easy-going: "Is there anyone else?"
He said, and rubbed his belly, he seemed to be very hungry and wanted to eat quickly, so that his words would not sound very abrupt.
The proprietress responded blankly: "There is still a driver... Don't worry about it, I will eat yours."
Chen Xiao nodded...
"Well...the "driver" should be driving the truck." He thought: "Why didn't you come to eat?"
At this time, there was a "creaking" sound from the stairs. Chen Xiao looked back and saw a man with a beard coming down, his clothes were wrinkled and his eyes were sleepy.
"Uh... fell asleep..." the driver walked into the restaurant and scratched his head.
Chen Xiao glanced at him and found that there seemed to be nothing special about him.
...
So now, everyone in this hotel has appeared.
"Boss", "Madam", "Driver", "Couple", "Woman"
"Is the "abnormal item" among these 6 people?" Chen Xiao thought for a while, and took a bite of food.
"Uh...that's terrible."
