After listening to Manager Li's ramble, Xiang Ya meant that her escape was being watched by the people above, which caused a great sensation and even triggered a series of gambling games related to her.

Among them, Yan Li, the person in charge of her immediate line, put a rare thing as gambling money, betting that she would win.

Xiang Ya was in a complicated mood, thinking that he and the person in charge had never met, but the other person seemed to trust her very much.

She silently followed Manager Li into the elevator.

Outside the transparent glass window is a bright sky, after a rain wash, the whole world has a new look.

Xiang Ya closed her eyes and leaned against the cold armrest. Due to her personal habit, she likes to review things after they are done, in order to find details that she hadn't noticed at the time:

'When I first entered the dream state, the tester would lose his memory. At this time, there was a strange noise in the room. The psychological cues I planted before going to bed woke me up. In order to escape the danger, I chose to run out of the room and noticed The mud handprints in the bathroom made the first suspicion in my heart. ’

'When I ran to the elevator door, I met Wang Wenxiu who was pretending to be the murderer. She was already in a state of madness. Manager Li repeatedly emphasized not to get hurt in the dream, which means that there will be ghosts in the dream. ’

‘But when I appeared in the first dream, Wang Wenxiu was the only ghost in the hotel, and her madness might be affected by the hotel debuff. ’

'I followed her down to the first floor, and I had a strange feeling on the way. When I got to the negative floor, I deduced that she was role-playing a murderer and tried to wake her up. I didn't expect that she would turn into a monster with strong attack power on the negative floor. Substitute into her murderer, but my awakening luckily delayed the attack. ’

'I thought about escaping, but when there were not many clues, the appearance of the Specter was triggered to let me know that it would be very easy to be exposed if I ran out of the hotel or outside the room, so I chose to go back to the original room to hide. ’

'I didn't expect Wang Wenxiu to come back again. At the critical moment, I found out that the wardrobe door was abnormal. Instead, I felt that there was a breakthrough. I hid in and found that the closed wardrobe made me seem to be Wang Wenxiu. I let myself be trapped and suffocated. . ’

"At the last moment, I suddenly figured out that if this was a dream, a strong personal will might be able to change the outcome of death. I would think like this, Wang Wenxiu hopes that there will be life in the face of murder. ’

'So I took the initiative to push open the wardrobe, and sure enough, I fell into the second layer of dreams. ’

'The dream on the second floor is a mysterious space. I think it will be Wang Wenxiu's past. To test the idea, I decided to walk out of the hotel. After walking quite a distance, I saw Jia Jia, the daughter of Wang Wenxiu, who also met Wang Wenxiu who was truly headless. ’

'Her state makes me suspect that this is a re-enactment of the past, maybe because of blood induction, she was really summoned back by Jia Jia at that time. ’

'However, I stopped halfway through, and obviously felt that Wang Wenxiu at that time knew of my existence. At this time, I will call her state a mixed state - a state where the past and present consciousness are integrated. ’

'But Jia Jia couldn't see her. I tried to call Jiajia, but there was no response. I thought it was because this is Wang Wenxiu's past, not Jiajia's past. ’

'Later, when Jia Jia returned to the mourning hall, Aunt Zhu appeared in a faceless state. I noticed that Aunt Zhu seemed to be able to see me, and I was prepared. Watching Jia Jia leave with Zhu Qing, I found that Zhu Qing's back was the same as Wang Wenxiu's when he was pretending to be the murderer, and I immediately called Jiajia. ’

'I didn't expect this call to really wake up Jiajia. The time and space where the village existed is also Jiajia's memory. Jia Jia died. At this time, I called her kind Jiajia, but she still couldn't see Wang Wenxiu nearby. ’

'I fainted due to physical reasons and woke up to find myself in a bamboo forest, which triggered Specter's choice. At first, I thought Li Gui was referring to Wang Wenxiu, and even deduced that her head was buried in the bamboo forest. ’

' But I also wondered why Jia Jia and Wang Wenxiu couldn't recognize each other. They were obviously in the same scene. Later, I figured out that Jia Jia was also in a mixed state. Wang Wenxiu's memories were also Jiajia's memories, but the two were not in the same time and space. The only one who can communicate between the two planes is me. ’

'As for why this happens, I can't think of a reason for the time being...'

'After this inference, I thought it was Jia Jia who chose me, and I wanted to save her, so after meeting her, I took the initiative to enter her core memory to find out why she was killed. ’

'This core memory is the third layer of dreams. ’

'The third layer of dreams has the same debuff effect as the first layer. I call Jia Jia Li Gui Jia Jia in this dream. I helped her too much, but instead I was polluted by ghosts or something called resentment. My mood became extremely unstable, and my body was seriously injured. ’

'I am willing to open the final scene and learn the truth of Jia Jia's death. Through the pollution of resentment and poisoning, my body returns to normal, but I also face the predicament of becoming a ghost. ’

'At this time, my unintentional venting of negative emotions awakened the kind Jiajia. She wanted to send me off the third floor, but I wanted to take her away. Li Gui Jia Jia went online, and I was loved by Li Gui. ’

'I knew that if I wanted to help find the real Wang Wenxiu, I would have to return to the first layer of dreams. ’

'In the second-layer dream, Jia Jia and I encountered the biggest crisis, but the third-layer dream is only my guess, I'm not sure about Wang Wenxiu, I woke up Wang Wenxiu who was in a mixed state with a desperate mentality. ’

'It was a success. ’

'The reasoning of the three-layer dream is more than half established, and I am more confident to bring Jia Jia back to the hotel. As long as I return to the way I came, the first-layer dream may be reached. ’

'After a fight, I finally brought Jia Jia back to the first layer of dreams. ’

'I fulfilled their mother and daughter's greatest wish - to meet, and their grievances disappeared. ’

'In the later conversation with Wang Wenxiu, I also learned that the murderer was named Zhu Qing. It was Zhu Qing who lied to the seriously ill Wang Wenxiu to teach her, and then killed her...'

Recalling all the events carefully made Xiang Ya's brain aches, and she couldn't help but let out a suffocating breath.

This is just the beginning, and many more questions are emerging—

Why did Zhu Qing try to hurt Jia Jia and Wang Wenxiu? In the second layer of dreams, how were the two parallel universes Jia Jia and Wang Wenxiu created?

Also, why did she see a clip in the third dream that did not belong to Jia Jia's memory? In this clip, she couldn't change the plot, whether it was a key scene deliberately set by the dream, or was it deliberately set by Zhu Qing from……

In any case, Zhu Qing's identity is too confusing. An ordinary rural woman can confuse others to believe in religion and brutally kill believers. Is this a canon or there are other reasons behind it...

Seeing that the atmosphere was dull, Manager Li took the initiative to talk again. Maybe it was after the nightmare was cleared that he was finally allowed to say something about the hotel.

Xiangya rubbed his temples and listened carefully to what he said.

In fact, a lot of information is basically consistent with what Xiangya deduced, but there are still some things Xiangya doesn't know.

For example, just now in front of the door of the room, what Manager Li said was someone who was one level higher than him, referring to Yan Li's group of people who were recruiting sleep testers. These people were collectively called managers.

Every manager deliberately selects testers from the crowd, and those who are picked are handed out recruitment flyers, in fact, even if the selected person doesn't apply, the manager will try to get him into the interview.

Hearing this, Xiang Ya's temple jumped, thinking that this wave of operations was really a strong buy and strong sell.

But risking your life to work is not without high returns. For example, Xiangya received the flyer promising a basic salary of over 100,000 a month. If he helped Lingyi Hotel solve the tenant problem, it would increase the number of guests in the hotel. , and even up to the star rating, the hotel will also reward the performance salary of the sleeper.

In addition, the hotel will assist Ancheng.com to rate based on the performance of the tester's copy and the sleep-testing experience report. After each successful escape, the sleeper will be able to obtain corresponding points according to the rating.

The points need to be distributed to the manager in charge of the sleep tester in a certain proportion. The sleep tester can accumulate the remaining points after the account is divided, and can also exchange items in the hotel store, or clues to the next dream.

I heard that when the points are accumulated to a certain level, they can be exchanged for unexpected things.

Hearing this sentence, Xiang Ya raised his head, just as the elevator door opened, and there were two groups of ghosts with dark faces, sunken cheeks, and wearing ancient official uniforms.

Xiang Ya's heart skipped a beat when she suddenly saw two rows of legendary zombies. She was still a little out of place.

Manager Li sighed and explained in a low voice: "Oh, yesterday, there was a heavy rain, and a landslide occurred in the suburbs, and some graves were scattered. These officials had nowhere to go. After knowing that the most vicious guests of the hotel had left, they rushed over to stay early in the morning. ."

He was busy pulling Xiang Ya's sleeves to the side, making way for those old ghosts, and when the elevator door closed, he dared to speak: "Don't look at the ugly faces of those old ghosts, some of them are really too big. Officer, you can't collide at will."

After he finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes happily, "Miss Xiang is fortunate to have your help this time. The troublesome tenants have left, and now they are attracting a group of new guests. It seems that the star of the hotel can be retained this time."

Xiang Ya asked: "According to Manager Li's opinion, difficult tenants will affect the star rating of the supernatural hotel. What does that have to do with hotels in the real world?"

This question is very important. She is vaguely worried that what happened to Jia Jia and Wang Wenxiu's mother and daughter is not in the future, but in the past.

Manager Li frowned and said in surprise, "Miss Xiang, it seems that Manager Yan really didn't tell you anything."

"Just now I just told you about the existence of a ghost hotel, which provides accommodation for ghosts in need. But the beginning of every ghost hotel's birth is a hotel that relies on the real world. If there is a murder in a real hotel, the ghost hotel with the same name will be will be born."

"And the ghosts who died in the murder case will become the first batch of guests of the spiritual hotel. The hotel cannot take the initiative to drive these guests away, because in a sense, they are also the foundation of the hotel's existence."

Xiang Ya understands that the hotel was built on the grievances of Li Gui. They are equivalent to the original shareholders, but these shareholders are not rational people. In order for the company to operate well, the person in charge has to ask someone to solve the troubled shareholders, so that it can be completed smoothly. Change of shareholding and take over the management of the company.

Xiang Ya felt bitter in her heart, and what she had not thought about for a long time finally became a reality.

"But the hotel also has to provide accommodation for nearby wandering ghosts. The resentment of the first batch of guests will affect the hotel's business. Over time, the hotel's star rating will drop and there will not even be a new guest, and the spiritual hotel will close down." Manager Li sighed.

"What about closing down?"

They were walking on the promenade. It was after 7:00 in the morning. Some tenants got up early to go out to visit the scenic area. A few living people passed by Xiangya, and they still looked like they could not see her.

Manager Li suddenly stopped, pointed at the humans who had passed through his body unconsciously, and said, "The hotel closes down, and our staff will be laid off. Laid off, it will affect the family."

"Because the lives of our families are tied to us, if they don't work hard, they will die."

Manager Li turned his face to the side and smiled kindly at Xiang Ya: "Miss Xiang, I actually have a daughter about your age, but she has a congenital heart disease. When she was sixteen, I died in a car accident. She will be left alone."

"She is still so young and has a long future, so I signed a contract with the hotel to work for the hotel so that she can live safely."

Manager Li continued to move forward and said, "The star rating of the hotel has improved, and we can exchange more vitality for our relatives. Therefore, the staff in the hotel are all looking forward to the sleepers to send the first batch of guests away."

"So, Miss Xiang, I really thank you."

They are ready to reach the lobby.

Xiang Ya stopped, but Manager Li found that she hadn't kept up, and said suspiciously, "Miss Xiang?"

"You mean, the tenant is already dead this time." Although she guessed the answer, her voice trembled.

"Well, yes, the original tenant, Wang Wenxiu, died in 2018. The tenant's information is written like this." Manager Li didn't understand why she was so surprised.

"But it wasn't Wang Wenxiu who died in the hotel, it was her daughter Jia Jia..."

According to Manager Li, Wang Wenxiu and Jia Jia had long since died, but the original tenant was not Jiajia.

"Because the tenant information has been changed."

A strange female voice came from the door.

Wearing a long khaki trench coat, the woman stepped forward from the revolving door. Her curly chestnut hair slanted past her shoulders. She slowly took off her sunglasses, revealing a charming and delicate face.

That face was somewhat similar to the face of the victim that Xiang Ya had seen a few days ago.

The woman was also looking at Xiang Ya and smiled suddenly, "Very good, I didn't become a 'ghost'. The first time I met, my cute sleeper."

"I'm your immediate manager, Yan Li."

Affected by the heavy rain, the high-speed rail was delayed by nearly an hour. By the time Zhang Fanyu arrived in Jiang'an City, it was already 4 o'clock in the middle of the night.

He rode in the vehicle of his friend from the police academy and rubbed his brows wearily.

Seeing this, my friend yawned and asked, "I said Xiao Yu, we haven't seen each other for a long time after graduation. Why did you suddenly come to Jiang An? What case did you encounter?"

Zhang Fanyu's mouth moved, and he originally wanted to tell the strange things during yesterday's investigation, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say it all.

"Well, I'm investigating a girl named Xiang Ya. Yesterday, I found out that she came to Jiang'an. I want to ask you to help find her current trace."

"It's a little girl, what happened? I feel it is very serious." The friend asked.

Zhang Fanyu thought for a while, "suspected of murder."

"My God, okay, I'll take you to the office now. You'll have to sleep a while while you're on your way, and I'll call you when you arrive."

...

Zhang Fanyu's friend is also a very capable police officer. It didn't take long for the surveillance to be found. The surveillance finally showed that Xiang Ya appeared on Huaimin Avenue South Road. She got off the taxi and walked to the right with an umbrella.

What's equally bizarre is that when checked the surveillance again, in the direction of Ya, there was no presence of her in the surveillance all the way.

Zhang Fanyu didn't say much, thinking that Xiang Ya might enter a certain hotel this time.

He asked, "What hotels are there on the way?"

"There are quite a few. There is a scenic area over there, and many hotels are built there. You can't say it all at once if you ask that."

"What? You think that person stayed in a crowded place first at night, yo, then this little girl is very brave." The friend said again, "Do you need to send the police to investigate immediately? After all, she is suspected of murder."

As soon as the words fell, the friend's expression became demented for a moment, and he looked at Zhang Fanyu next to him with surprise and doubt.

"Fanyu?! Why did you come to Jiang'an! Damn, don't tell me to pick you up when you come..."

Zhang Fanyu was numb and a little tired, he waved his hand, "Yes, I came to visit you. I have something to do first, I'll talk to you after I'm done."

After speaking, he walked out of the police station without looking back.

Sure enough, all traces of Xiangya entering the hotel will be erased, and no one can remember except him.

It is now more than 7 o'clock in the morning, and the city that has been sleeping all night is gradually awakening, and there are gradually more vehicles on the streets.

Zhang Fanyu hailed a taxi and told the driver to go to Huaimin Great Dao South Road.

30 minutes later, the vehicle stopped by the road. Zhang Fanyu glanced at the streets full of birch trees on both sides. Not far on the right, there was a tall and gorgeous hotel, the Ami Hotel, which is also very famous in the local area.

Just as he was about to walk to the hotel, the taxi driver reversed the car, opened the car window, and asked, "Handsome guy, your belongings are on the car."

After speaking, an orange flyer was stuffed into his hand, and the driver drove away in a blink of an eye.

Zhang Fanyu frowned and stared at the flyer in his hand:

[Hotel Security Recruitment: Are you still worried about not being able to catch the murderer? This website is here. We sincerely invite people aged 18 to 45 to participate in the interview.

Zhang Fanyu sneered: "For a thousand yuan, I want a front-line criminal policeman to be a security guard. I should eat too much kohlrabi."

The author says:

Xiang Ya received a flyer: a monthly salary of 100,000 yuan, good performance, and reimbursement for food, lodging, and travel expenses.

Zhang sir received a flyer: the monthly salary is 1,000, and the food, lodging and medical expenses have to be paid by himself.

Sir Zhang: Hmph, employers are discriminating!

(I don’t know if you are used to reorganizing and summarizing the copy in the form of a review. This is also my fault. I will try to be more specific and clear in the next copy when I analyze it~ There is another chapter of reality, I will explain it tomorrow- system settings~)
