Song Zhi suddenly realized, slapping his forehead, "Fortunately, I didn't open the door, otherwise..."
Mei Nan glared at him, disappointed.
"You go sit inside, and don't move around!" Teacher Mei's tone was exactly like telling a student to stand in the corner.
Song Zhi obediently sat down on the sofa.
Mei Nan glanced at the big screen. The sound was still there, but not a single ghost could be seen.
He curled his lips, looking like he had figured it all out. With his hands behind his back, he slowly sat down opposite Song Zhi.
Teacher Mei was back in action. He stared at Song Zhi as if he were a very disobedient student.
Song Zhi felt helpless and simply leaned back, sinking into the sofa.
After failing three times in a row, the evil spirits became very angry.
They regrouped, devised a new plan, and finally arrived at Ning Wei and Li Ye's room.
First, they pounded on the door as if being chased by ghosts.
Before they could even utter their prepared lines, they were sent flying by a powerful force.
The evil spirits let out a sharp, piercing scream and dared not cause any more trouble.
These people tonight were too smart and too powerful. They were not to be trifled with!
Li Ye used the bead to draw out the resentment clinging to Ning Wei, and her complexion gradually improved.
The evil spirits outside would occasionally try to make their presence known, but everyone refused to fall for it, determined not to open the door.
As they waited, their initial fear and panic slowly gave way to calmness, and eventually, they fell asleep.
After all, Ning Wei had already discussed the plan with everyone earlier. Unless she personally knocked to let them out, they were not to open the door themselves.
Because of a small action by Ning Wei and the others, the hotel's time and space had been altered.
If she hadn't entered that banquet hall, there would have been no survivors inside.
The evil spirits would have isolated the banquet hall into another dimension and slaughtered everyone within, leaving no one alive!
Of course, the banquet hall would eventually be discovered, and at that time, it would only be classified as a mass murder incident.
But she had insisted on bringing everyone inside. Not only did she successfully lead her teammates out of there, but she also inadvertently released the resentment that filled the entire banquet hall.
The sheer amount of resentment had transformed all the hotel staff into terrifying evil spirits wearing red uniforms.
As for the future of the hotel's survivors, it was uncertain, and no one knew when this space would return to normal.
Ning Wei woke from her slumber, and the first thing she did was check the time.
Due to the curtains, she could only see that it was one o'clock, but she didn't know if it was 1 PM or 1 AM.
The difference between these two was immense.
Li Ye had also worked hard this time. He rested his chin on one hand, his eyes closed, and it was unclear if he was asleep.
Ning Wei gently got out of bed, bent down to look at him, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking what a waste it was for such a tall man to have such long eyelashes.
At this moment, Li Ye suddenly opened his eyes, his voice a little muffled, "What are you looking at?"
Ning Wei immediately replied, "Your eyelashes, they're too long, like a horse's."
"Hmm?" Li Ye didn't understand.
Ning Wei stood up straight and coughed twice. Her throat was dry from not drinking water for a long time.
Li Ye silently got up and poured her a glass of water.
"What time is it?" Ning Wei drank the entire glass of water in one gulp and then got down to business.
"It should be one o'clock in the afternoon." Although Li Ye was resting, he had been keeping track of the time.
After all, their room was quite special, with no distinction between day and night.
It was very quiet outside. Most importantly, it was already past nine in the morning, when housekeeping services should have started.
Yet, even now, no housekeeper had knocked on their door.
Ning Wei tried to use the room's phone to call the front desk. After a ring, the call was answered.
The voice on the other end was pleasant and sweet, "Hello, this is the hotel front desk. How may I help you?"
"Is there no housekeeping service today?" Ning Wei asked.
"Dear guest, of course there is. As long as you open your door, our housekeeping staff will come in to clean immediately."
As soon as she heard that tone, Ning Wei abruptly hung up the phone.
But the trouble wasn't over. Within five seconds, there was a knock on the door.
"Hello! Housekeeping!"
"We don't need it!" Ning Wei shouted at the door.
"Hello, housekeeping!"
"I said, we don't need it!"
"Hello! Housekeeping!"
The ghost outside the door acted as if it had no ears. No matter what Ning Wei said, it kept repeating the same thing.
Ning Wei rolled her eyes in exasperation and looked at Li Ye with some guilt, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect calling this number to have this result."
The housekeeping ghost outside clearly had no intention of leaving. Even if it couldn't get in, it would at least drive them crazy.
"It's alright, leave it to me."
After resting with his eyes closed all night, Li Ye was now full of energy.
He walked to the door, took out the bead in his hand, circled it with his finger, and then suddenly exerted force.
The evil spirit outside, still incessantly repeating "housekeeping," was suddenly struck by this force and fell silent.
After dealing with the ghost outside, Ning Wei remained troubled.
Based on the current situation, it seemed they were trapped in the room.
Before they entered the room, all the hotel staff had turned into evil spirits. More than ten hours had passed since then, but these evil spirits were still present.
Even if the eight of them hid in the room until checkout time, they wouldn't be able to leave unscathed.
The only way forward was to find a way to restore the hotel to its normal state.
As for how to return it to normal, that would require careful planning.
They couldn't call the front desk, and they couldn't open the door. So how could they consult with others?
Fortunately, Ning Wei had also memorized the phone numbers of the other three rooms. She tried calling Mei Nan and Song Zhi's room.
After a ring, the phone was answered.
"Hello?" It was Song Zhi's voice.
"It's Ning Wei."
"Oh my god, you finally called! Can we come out now? Teacher Mei and I are so hungry we've been eating things from the refrigerator."
"At the marine park, who was it that drained the water in the end?" Having learned from the front desk incident, Ning Wei wouldn't easily trust the person on the other end of the phone.
Her method of verification was to ask about things they had experienced together. No matter how powerful the evil spirits here were, they couldn't possibly know what had happened before.
Song Zhi was confused but still answered honestly, "Wasn't it me and Li Zi'ang? He can't swim. If I hadn't rushed over to help, we would have been drowned by the seawater."
