Chapter 2765
Closing the room door, Shiler sighed. The coordinates sent by little Bruce were really too vague. The coordinates were equivalent to an area within a range of 5 kilometers by 5 kilometers. If he hadn't inferred from the last four digits, 1905, that this might be a room number in some hotel, he probably wouldn't have found the specific location even if he searched until tomorrow morning.
Shiler turned his head and scanned the situation in the living room. He didn't find any problems. The decoration of the Wei En Hotel leaned toward the luxurious Victorian style. The room was covered with dark green carpet, the wall trim was a very deep red like blood, and the upper part was decorated with rich black, mostly using bright gold. The atmosphere was dark and gorgeous.
To the left of the sofa was an electronic fireplace. The jumping firelight shone on the window, reflecting the raindrops on the window into scattered pearls. Shiler picked up the remote control and turned on the TV. A midnight TV series was playing inside, and the light from the TV completely illuminated the room.
Pushing open the door, the bedroom was also plain and unremarkable. The overall tone was still deep, but the floor had become a patterned design. The soft large bed was covered with silk sheets, and the quilt was wine red.
A bottle of red wine was placed on the bedside table. Shiler picked it up and found a label attached to the back, noting that it was a complimentary gift. Shiler carefully looked at the origin and the vintage and found that it was just the most ordinary Bordeaux red wine, with a value of about 200 dollars.
Putting the wine down, Shiler checked the sheets and quilt cover. There was nothing under the quilt, and the same was true under the sheets. The bed was a very heavy solid wood style, so there was no space under the bed at all. The drawer of the bedside table only contained the remote control and batteries for the central air conditioning, as well as a travel brochure introducing the hotel. There was nothing else.
Then Shiler walked to the bathroom of the master bedroom. The manager said the toilet here was broken, but there was still nothing abnormal in the bathroom. Shiler first walked over and checked the bathtub. The shower head could spray water normally, but the faucet used to fill the bathtub made a harsh sound when turned, but the water coming out was also fine.
The drainage device of the bathtub looked fine, but the speed was a bit slow. Shiler suspected that it might be blocked by something, but he leaned in to take a look and didn't see anything either.
Next was the main point, the toilet. After Shiler pressed the flush button, he hid as far away as possible. Sure enough, the toilet was flushing downward at first, but for some reason, it suddenly started spraying water. Although what sprayed out was only tap water from the tank, it still got onto the surrounding floor and even wet the carpet at the bathroom door.
Shiler clicked his tongue, shook his head, took cleaning tools from the cabinet in the bathroom, wiped the floor, and closed the bathroom door. He didn't intend to use it again until the repairman came.
He walked back and sat on the sofa, took out his mobile phone, and at this moment, an abnormality appeared. The mobile phone had no signal.
Shiler held the phone and leaned toward the balcony. He kept staring at the screen of the phone, but suddenly, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the scenery outside the window changing.
The huge dark city disappeared, and a building approached rapidly from the distance until it was less than 20 meters away from the window. It was another hotel. The window of 1905 faced the window of 1905, and there was also a figure standing in front of the window in the window.
Shiler immediately turned his head to look out the window, but found that the scenery outside the window was still the familiar Gotham. It was as if that moment just now was just an illusion. When Shiler looked at the phone again, the signal was full again.
Shiler tried to dial a random phone number and found that there was no problem. The network and everything were normal. Even when he walked back into the room with the phone, there was still a signal, and there was also an automatically connected WiFi, which could browse web pages.
But Shiler did not choose to go online. Instead, he immediately opened the communication channel of the Battle World and sent a message to one of the avatars, "Have you arrived?".
"I'll be there soon, Doctor. Please wait a moment."
A figure hurried through the revolving door of the hotel and ran to the front desk at the fastest speed. He took two breaths first, revealed a smile at the red-haired lady at the front desk, and said, "Hello, I'm looking for someone."
"Who are you looking for?" The lady at the front desk asked without raising her head.
"Uh, a gentleman in Room 1905. He should have checked in 20 minutes ago. His name is Nyarlathotep."
"Let me check for you... uh, which room number did you say?"
"1905."
"Room 1905 hasn't been booked yet. Did your friend get the room number wrong?"
The young man was stunned. He took off his hat, revealing the face of Peter Parker. He sent a message through the Battle World system, "Mr. Nyarlathotep, they said that no one has booked Room 1905. Did you get the room number wrong?".
Shiler widened his eyes slightly. He asked Peter to confirm again, but judging from Peter's reply, he asked several times, and the other party just said that Room 1905 had not been booked at all, and they had no impression of the name Nyarlathotep.
Shiler looked out the window again. There was no change in the scenery outside the window, so he held the phone and approached the window again.
He stared at the phone screen. Suddenly, the signal flickered for a moment, and in his peripheral vision, he caught a glimpse of another Wei En Hotel approaching rapidly. This time, Shiler stayed for a longer time. He saw that in the other window that was about to stick, the actions of the two people were exactly the same, both holding their phones and looking down.
But suddenly, the figure in that window disappeared, the signal on Shiler's phone recovered, and the scenery outside the window also recovered.
Shiler seemed to understand a little, so he sent a message to Peter, saying, "Book Room 1905, come over quickly."
Peter nodded without knowing why and had to say to the front desk, "Hello, I want to book Room 1905."
"No, it can't be booked." The front desk raised her eyelids with some fatigue and said, "The toilet is broken. Who would fix it in this weather? If it sprays water all over you, we can't help it."
"It doesn't matter, I want to book Room 1905 now." Peter took out his driver's license and said, "I can pay extra, please, Miss."
A hand took the driver's license, looked at it up and down, and the lady at the front desk sitting at the table sighed and said, "Alright, another one who doesn't believe in evil. I hope you can last a little longer. Alright, this is your room card, go in quickly, don't come out if there's nothing to do."
Peter nodded and walked toward the elevator. As soon as the elevator door opened, a person walked out. The man wearing a suit walked quickly to the front desk and said, "I'm in 1903, I want to extend my stay for three days, hurry up and process it for me."
"This hotel is quite popular." Peter said in a low voice. He looked up at the luxurious decoration in the elevator and said, "Fortunately, the budget given by that mysterious black sun is enough, otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford such a hotel."
Peter sighed a little in his heart. He learned from Bruce of the fusion earth that the Battle World had reopened, and he was thinking about taking advantage of the last ten days to prepare well and achieve a good result in the Battle World. It was better than being forced to read books by that black sun.
As a result, just yesterday, his great, mysterious, and omniscient Lord gave him a cosmic coordinate and asked him to go on a business trip. On the way, he also reminded him that he was going to stay in a hotel, but why he had to come here, why he had to stay in a hotel, and what to do after staying in the hotel, he didn't say at all.
But fortunately, he was not on a business trip alone this time. The black sun told him that another historian was traveling with him, and the two of them just needed to meet at the hotel. He also gave him the other party's Battle World ID, and the two of them added each other as friends, which was convenient for contacting at any time.
Holding the room card and entering the elevator, the elevator soon opened. Peter walked out the door and saw the sign for the 19th floor. He looked left and right, chose to walk to the left, walked along the corridor to the end, and saw the room number 1905.
He knocked on the door and said, "Doctor, are you there? Doctor?"
No one answered. Peter asked again through the communication system, but that Dr. Nyarlathotep just said that he was in the room, but he didn't hear the knocking. Peter was a bit helpless and had to shout, "Then I'm opening the door."
He opened the door with the room card. There was nothing inside the door. Peter closed the room door first, and then walked toward the depths.
Peter walked into the living room and found that the lights were not turned on. After turning on the lights, he still didn't see anyone, so he had to knock on the bedroom door. After pressing the door handle and pushing the door open, there was still no one inside. Peter had to walk to the bathroom again.
As soon as he opened the bathroom door, as expected, there was still no one inside. However, Peter discovered a puddle of water on the floor with the help of the reflection of the lights. It looked like the toilet was indeed broken.
Peter really didn't know what was going on, but he felt that sending messages one by one was really too inefficient, so he simply clicked on the voice call.
"Hey, Doctor, can you hear me? Are you sure you are in Room 1905? I didn't see you at all."
"I'm sure I am, Peter. Turn on the video call, I'll take a picture of the room number for you."
Peter turned on the video call. He saw the other party walk out of a living room exactly the same as his, open a room door exactly the same, and when the perspective lifted, a sign was hanging on the door with the fancy numbers "1905".
Peter was very surprised. He also walked out and stared at the sign on the door. He knew that the video call in the Battle World could perfectly present the other party's perspective, which meant that both he and the other side were 1905. Could it be that this hotel had two 1905s?
"Peter, tell me about all your experiences from walking into the hotel until now. Be very detailed, precise to every expression and every sentence of every person. You should be able to remember, right?"
"Of course, I can." Peter began to recount all his experiences, but before he had spoken a few sentences, he was interrupted by the other side.
"You mean when you came in, that red-haired lady at the front desk was sitting?"
"Yes, and she was a bit impatient. I feel she was very tired, maybe because she was working the night shift." Peter sighed and said, "She didn't even look at me straight. I feel she really disliked me."
Then Peter began to continue, but before he had spoken a few sentences, he was interrupted again. He heard the other party ask him again, "You mean after the elevator door opened, a man wearing a suit came out, claimed he was a guest in Room 1903, and asked to stay for three more days?"
Peter said, "Yes, he looked very anxious. Maybe there aren't many vacant rooms left."
Peter continued to talk, but before he had spoken a few sentences, the other party interrupted him. He said, "You turned left after you got out of the elevator?"
"Yes, turned left."
Shiler on the other end of the communication recalled the route the manager took to bring him. He was exactly the opposite of Peter. He remembered very clearly that he turned right at that time.
