He looked at the clock in the room.

It was currently one-fifteen.

He withdrew his gaze.

And the sound of cleaning came from next door.

"Rustle, rustle, rustle……"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh……"

The sound of a broom.

"Knock, knock, knock……"

Suddenly, the sound of a heavy knife falling and chopping rang out, as if chopping meat and bones.

One sound after another, stimulating the weak hearts of the two girls.

The two girls knew what was in Room 304, but that guess was instinctively denied by the two girls. They felt they were overthinking it.

"Let's go!"

Lin Ye arrived in front of the door and opened it.

The moment the door opened,

the scene in the hallway was reflected in their field of vision.

Just as Lin Ye had said, the hallway had returned to normal.

The three walked out of the room one after another and looked at the room next door—it was Room 304, and at this moment, the door was open, and the sound of cleaning came from inside from time to time, even clearer.

There really was cleaning staff inside cleaning.

Hoshino Ai's gaze fell on Lin Ye's cheek; she felt that Lin Ye-kun would definitely use his superpower to go in and investigate.

However, until the cleaning staff pushed the cart with cleaning tools to the door, she didn't see Lin Ye have any inclination to use Time Stop to enter the room to observe and collect clues.

Was she wrong?

Hoshino Ai couldn't help but think.

The cart was pushed out slowly.

"Woo……"

In an instant,

Hoshino Ai's eyes widened; the hand grabbing Lin Ye's hem immediately retracted to cover her mouth, her eyes wide as she looked at the things in the cart's trash can.

'Gulp……'

A swallowing sound.

It was a corpse; severed limbs and broken palms were scattered and piled on the black trash can, the bloody limbs were mangled, occasionally revealing tender skin, as if telling what this was, and that spherical object with scattered black hair was quietly standing at the highest point of the trash can.

Accompanied by the movement of the small cart, the blood-stained hair moved, revealing a dead-gray eye.

The moment the chestnut-haired twin-tailed girl witnessed it, she almost screamed, but her rationality restrained her, and she could only close her eyes tightly, her hands grabbing Lin Ye's hem, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Only in this way could she not be afraid.

At this moment,

both girls understood!

The chopping sound just now was the sound of the cleaning staff dismembering Kamimura Mie's corpse!

Nausea and the urge to vomit grew stronger under the intense bloody smell.

The two girls wanted to vomit.

And at this time,

the cleaning staff pushed the cart away from Room 304; the moment she was closing the door, Lin Ye paused time.

He entered Room 304 and came out very quickly, returning to his original position.

Hoshino Ai felt at ease; she believed that Lin Ye must have found the clue to clear the level. Dealing with such cleaning staff who dismembered human bodies was absolutely no problem.

Time resumed.

The cleaning staff, whose body was stained with black-red liquid, closed the door to Room 304, and then looked up at the three people—Lin Ye and the others.

"Guest, are you checking out? Which room needs cleaning?"

"Room 306 needs cleaning service, sorry to trouble you."

Watching Lin Ye communicate with the hotel staff as if nothing had happened and he didn't care at all, the hearts of Hoshino Ai and Kuroda Hikari were in their throats.

Didn't they say to ignore the hotel staff that didn't exist?

"I understand."

The cleaning staff didn't have any hostile behavior or demeanor at all.

It made people feel very safe.

"By the way, Room 307 also needs cleaning."

Room 307 was the room of Sawayanagi Taisuke and Kuroda Hikari, and Sawayanagi Taisuke was still hiding in the room alone.

"Guest…… you are not a guest of Room 307."

The cleaning staff's words suddenly became a bit stiff.

Lin Ye patted the waist of Kuroda Hikari, who was hiding behind him, and reminded her with his eyes.

"R…… Room 307 needs cleaning……"

She mustered all her courage to say this sentence.

"I understand."

The cleaning staff pushed the cart and first entered Room 306 to start cleaning.

Five minutes later,

the cleaning staff pushed the cart to the front of the closed Room 307 door.

The sound of knocking on the door rang out.
