Chapter 1 The Shoveler
The top floor of a hotel in Yunshan District, Humiao City.
squeez, squeez, squeez...
It was late at night and the entire hotel had basically been exposed. There were only a few guests playing cards in the chess and card room on the second floor, and there were people on night shifts that were changing every day.
"Who, who is where?" A woman in white work clothes slowly walked outside the house.
On the top floor, fourth floor, and private rooms of this hotel, under normal circumstances, basically no customers will come here. After all, the dishes in this hotel are famously expensive, and if you want to go to the fourth floor, you must have a minimum consumption, so people may not necessarily come to the fourth floor in a month. But today, someone booked a private room, and booked both private rooms at one time.
sir, sir, sir...
The sound of shoveling the ground still echoed throughout the roof. The sound was like shoveling on the concrete floor, very rough.
"Can you come out?" The woman turned on the flashlight of her phone and shone forward. It was not only pitch black but also pitch black.
"Bastard, if he hadn't asked for some leave, I wouldn't have stayed in such a ghost place for night shifts at night. No! I'll leave after twelve o'clock! It's better to deduct wages than to be frightened here." The woman couldn't help but complain in her heart.
Let’s take a closer look at the end, or just leave when nothing happens. The woman is very conflicted. As the manager of this hotel, she is paying a higher salary than other employees. If she leaves like this, if there is any loss in the hotel, everything will be blamed on herself, the night shifter. But now maybe someone is hiding in the depths of the darkness. Looking around here, it is all made of cement. It is impossible to dig a hole with a shovel. So what is the reason for making the sound of the shovel? The woman is very curious, but also very scared.
Da, da, da.
The woman slowly walked towards the depths in high heels. She shone the light of her cell phone in front of her. In front of her was a huge machine, which connected to the kitchen on the first floor.
"Yes, did this thing come out?" The woman looked at the big machine in front of her, but no matter how the machine operated, it would not be possible to make such a sound of shoveling the ground. Except for the private room, the roof of this building is all made of concrete floor, and there are not no shovels on the roof, so the sound of shoveling the ground is definitely not caused by the machine in front of her!
The woman continued to walk forward. At this time, a threshold appeared in front of her, but there was no door, it might be just a decoration. In front of the threshold, there were five large brown jars on the left hand of the woman. Although they were not tall, the width was still enough, and they could basically directly plug the whole person.
clatter.
The woman stepped into the threshold, and the sound of shoveling the ground disappeared instantly, and the only thing that remained was the rumbling sound of the machine.
"Hey, I'm... anyone?" The woman had a lot of questions. Obviously, it was impossible for the woman to be the only one on the roof now.
"Gudong." The woman swallowed. At this time, she was extremely nervous. The heartbeat that she could not hear was extremely loud at this time, and the woman's panic continued to expand.
"No, I have to calm down. Yes, turn off the flashlight first and don't expose your position." The woman felt like she was going crazy. She forced herself to calm down, turned off the flashlight on her phone, put it in her pocket, and walked forward step by step.
Dong!
A dull sound echoed in the woman's ears, which was the sound of someone hitting the machine.
"Ha, heh, heh." The woman began to get goose bumps all over her body, and her body couldn't help but tremble. She regretted that she should have run away from the beginning when she heard the sound, instead of staying here, and still doing some exploration here.
The woman slowly opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she couldn't speak at all. She was so scared that her heart was about to jump out.
Da, da.
The woman bent over and continued to walk forward. She held her breath and did not dare to make any sounds easily, but her unscrupulous high heels kept making noises. The woman would close her eyes and bit her lower lip without taking a step.
Finally, she came to the back of the machine, but unlike what she thought, there was no one here.
"Am I scaring myself?" The woman breathed a sigh of relief, took out her phone and took it forward and took it.
"Ah!!!" the woman shouted in disbelief, her body retreating straight, and she tripped to the ground.
"How, how is that possible!" Using the light of the mobile phone, the woman saw that behind the machine, a shovel stood straight, with no walls behind it, and no cement fixed it, and did not lean on anything. The shovel stood there like that.
We all know that the shovel's head is curved. Although the shovel in front of us is straight, it is impossible for the shovel to stand straight there without relying on anything!
"No, it's impossible. The shovel will move by itself? Stop damn it!" The woman moved on the ground in panic. Although she was laughing at this moment, she was very thumping and stiff, and she pretended to be calm. She sat on her skirt regardless of her image and moved her butt back. She didn't want to stay here for a moment.
The woman just stood up and wanted to run back, but she hit something and leaned back again.
"Ah! What! Get out of here!" The woman's heart completely collapsed, and the shovel standing there. Now she didn't know what she bumped into. She was already panicked, and now she was like a madman, cursing without any scruples.
"Little girl, are you okay?" An old man appeared in the woman's sight. He lowered his head and asked in a kind voice.
"Okay, you old man! You are pretending to be a ghost here in the middle of the night! Do you know I am the manager? Believe it or not, I want the boss to apply and let him open you!" The woman cursed.
"Yes, sorry, little girl, I didn't mean it. I just forgot something here and wanted to come back and get it. Who knew that this accidentally scared you, I'm sorry." The old man said in an apology tone.
"I'm lazy to care about you. Anyway, you're just being taken care of by our boss and stayed here for retirement." The woman stood up slowly and patted the dust on her body. Her panic just now got slightly better. After all, another person appeared, and she felt a little more secure. "So, old man, have you forgotten this?"
"My son, I'll come to find my son."
"Your son?" The woman was surprised at first, and then smiled, "Others say you are crazy old man, but I don't believe it. I didn't expect you to be really a crazy man. Didn't you say that long ago? Your son was dead due to a work mistake when decorating the hotel three years ago! Do you understand?"
"Oh, that's it." The old man smiled and said, "So you all remember him."
"Mystery." The woman was about to leave, but remembered something, and asked, "Old man, you always work on the fourth floor. I ask you, have you ever seen a shovel?"
"What shovel?"
"That's it..." The woman turned around and pointed to the place where the shovel had just stood, but at this moment, the place was empty and there was no shovel at all.
"Dong, where is the thing? Where have you gone?" the woman was stunned.
"Little girl, is this what you are looking for?" The old man had an extra shovel in his hand.
"ah!!!"
Nine o'clock in the morning.
"Li Li."
"arrive."
"Jiang Pei."
"arrive."
"Li Nan."
"arrive."
"Liu Na."
"night shift."
"Huang Chao."
"arrive."
“Ma Shi.”
"Ask for leave."
"Wang Chenxi."
"arrive."
"Okay, since everyone is here, then start working. Jiang Pei, the fourth floor was very dirty yesterday, so you can do it." The hotel owner in a white suit put the list in his hand on the table and said to Jiang Pei.
"Oh." Jiang Pei responded indifferently and turned around and walked upstairs. The others were the same and started their respective work.
"Hey, it's me again. Yesterday, the guests on the fourth floor were quarreling to death and they were drinking and shouting. Some people obviously couldn't drink, but they forced themselves to hold on, but they even vomited all over the floor. They felt nauseous and vomited when they thought about it." Jiang Pei couldn't help but complain.
After a while, Jiang Pei arrived at the fourth floor.
"Go to the place where the dishes are delivered first and beat the bowl." After that, Jiang Pei came to the dish delivery room, and next to the dish delivery room was a large machine connected to the kitchen on the first floor.
"Huh? What's the smell?" Jiang Pei smelled it and felt a fishy smell in the air. She slowly walked out, and what appeared before her was a dead body.
"Ah!" Jiang Pei shouted.
"What's wrong!" Li Li, who was cleaning on the third floor, came and asked when she heard the sound.
"Liu, Liu Na..." Li Li looked at him and saw a dead corpse on the ground. Her mouth was divided by a shovel, and her jaws were separated directly from the corner of her mouth to the root of her ears. It was like a tragic death, just like swallowing a shovel. This female corpse was Liu Na who stayed on the evening shift last night.
"Really, it's really... Liu Na..." Li Li was also stunned. She couldn't believe her eyes, and couldn't believe everything in front of her. She was chatting and joking with her yesterday, but why did she turn into a corpse today?
"Hey, Li Li, look at this." Jiang Pei's body was trembling. She pointed to the shovel in Liu Na's mouth with her trembling right hand and said, "Do you think that red ribbon is... familiar?" At the top of the wooden handle of the shovel, a red ribbon was tied, which drifted with the wind.
"Red ribbon..." Li Li thought about it, and a man suddenly flashed in her mind. Then she retreated in panic, her mouth trembled, and said, "Guo...Guo Liang, this red ribbon seems to be... Liu Na woven for Guo Liang at the time, but I remember this ribbon had already... Why, why did it appear here? Why!" Li Li was already panicked. She didn't know how to explain everything that was happening in front of her now. The deceased's relics suddenly appeared in front of everyone. All this could not be explained by science.
