Chapter 500: Bitter Winter

The door on the first floor of the resort was closed, and the wind and snow were blowing outside, but the inside of the house was not greatly affected. It was dry and quiet.

"There is something wrong with this middle-level dream. Tang Qing didn't give us any hints." Qian Jin looked bad after checking the communicator: "He said that the dream owner's information was sent to us in advance, but there was nothing in the communicator!"

"Yongsheng Pharmaceutical will not deliberately hide it. They also hope that we can conquer the nightmare. There must be some problem in the middle." Rao Rao is very confident in Yongsheng Pharmaceutical. The main thing is that Yongsheng Pharmaceutical is their only backing.

"Heavy snow, manors, resorts, young people suffering from strange diseases." Gao Ming pondered for a moment and said: "Most nightmares are based on reality. Maybe we can determine a rough idea through old books and newspapers inside the building. time frame and then narrow it down little by little.”

"Your approach is fine when it comes to shallow-level nightmares, but middle-level nightmares have little to do with reality and are absurd everywhere..."

"Do you see the absurdity around here?" Before Zhige could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Gao Ming.

"Boy, respecting veterans can help you live longer." If Bai Huang hadn't been there, Zhi Ge might have been unable to suppress his anger. He looked at Gao Ming with an unfriendly look.

The melodious violin broke the silence in the manor and diverted Zhige's attention. They looked towards the third floor together.

"Someone is playing the piano?" Zhi Ge didn't move his body and turned to look at Gao Ming: "Don't you want to find clues? The clues have been delivered to your door, why don't you leave?"

Without talking nonsense to Zhi Ge, Gao Ming led Fool and Xu Deyi up the wooden steps to the third floor.

The melodious and sad sound of the piano contrasts with the winter when everything is withered.

"It seems to be coming from room 3003." Xu Deyi did not dare to approach, he hid behind Gao Ming.

Observing the surroundings, Gao Ming gently rubbed his fingers against the wall. The entire manor was divided into four floors, but the third floor had reached the top. The fourth floor was considered the attic and was not open to tourists. There were signs prohibiting entry in the corridors. The third floor and There is also a thick iron fence built between the fourth floor, as if to guard against some ferocious beast.

Putting his fingers under his nose, Gao Ming smelled the faint fragrance of sawdust. Most of the building was made of wood, but Gao Ming couldn't tell what kind of wood it was made of. There was a dry and solid smell to it. A milky aroma.

The sound of the piano is soothing and fluttering, like the late winter sunshine jumping on the frozen stream, with a sense of freedom and happiness.

"All the rooms on the third floor have no doors." Gao Ming looked at the rooms that could be entered and exited at will: "Do you still remember what Tang Qing said before we entered the nightmare? The owner of the dream suffered from a disease and could not see the door and had no lights. 's narrow passage."

"The one who plays the piano is the master of the dream?"

"Go over and have a look." The temperature is rising, and in addition to the sound of the piano, there is also the sound of burning firewood in room 3003.

The warmth dispelled the severe cold, and Gao Ming arrived at the door of 3003. The room without a door was covered with thick carpets. It was daytime outside, but there were still several oil lamps burning inside, and the fireplace was filled with firewood.

The firelight and lights together illuminated a slender young man in the middle of the room. He was wearing very thin clothes. He had a shotgun and a wine glass at his feet, but his fingers gently pulled the strings. He was like a prince in a castle, opening a fairy tale book and leaving. come out.

When the song ended, the snowflakes in the sky were like a tribute from heaven. The man stood by the window for a long time before turning around: "It's snowing heavily, how did you get in?"

The man noticed them early on, but he didn't like to interrupt the performance, so he never spoke.

"We are tourists. The road out is blocked. I wonder if we can stay at your place for a while." Qian Jin asked politely: "We will pay."

His eyes wandered between the wine glass and the shotgun, and the man finally smiled softly: "You can all live here until the snow stops."

"Thank you." Qian Jin was full of gratitude, but Gao Ming was thinking about another thing. They can live here until the heavy snow stops. But if the heavy snow never stops, will they be trapped here forever?

"This is my grandfather's villa. After his death, my parents and I converted it into a resort. However, we only operate it in the summer. In winter, it is too cold. All the East Lake and streams freeze, and all water sports are impossible to carry out. The man picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "Compared with the warm summer, winter is too long and lonely. I never thought that you would come here to play in winter."

The man didn't mention the room fee at all. After he counted the number of people, he took off a bunch of copper keys from his waist: "You can choose the rooms on the first and second floors as you like. You can live on the third floor if you want, but don't go to the fourth floor." Run, there is a huge safety risk on that floor.”

Seeing that the man had already taken off three keys and wanted to continue taking them, Qian Jin quickly stopped him: "Three rooms are enough."

"Seven people live in three rooms?" The man waved his hand: "Don't worry about money. It will be empty anyway. There are basically no people in the manor in winter, so just stay at ease."

Everyone got their own keys, except Xu Deyi and Rao Rao, everyone else was on the second floor.

"The kitchen is on the first floor. A small amount of food is in the refrigerator, and some is stored in the cellar. You can use it at will, just don't waste it. The dry firewood for burning is in the brick house on the left side of the main building. I only prepared enough for my own use. If the heavy snow continues, you may have to take an axe to chop firewood nearby." The man finished the wine in the glass: "There are various tools in the utility room on the first floor. Remember to close the door when you go in and out."

The things the man explained were all normal, and there was no problem.

"By the way, when it's dark and you go to bed, be sure to close the doors and windows." Putting down the wine glass, the man wiped the hunting rifle: "It's cold, and the wild animals in the mountains can't find food. Be careful that there are hungry guys sneaking into the manor."

"Okay, we will pay attention."

"There's nothing else. You can take a walk during the day, just don't go too far from the manor." The man no longer paid attention to everyone, picked up the album on the table and flipped through it, as if immersed in memories.

The testers walked out of 3003 with their keys. They tacitly did not talk here, and only looked at each other after entering the corridor.

"Safe during the day, dangerous at night? According to him, do we have to stay in this nightmare for several days?" Rao Rao took off her glasses and wiped the mist off: "Other nightmares can be solved in a few hours, this nightmare is so strange!"

"I compared the figure of the man and the young man on the bed. They should not be the same person." Qian Jin has a strong observation ability and a good memory: "I suspect that this man is not the owner of the nightmare. There may be other people in this manor."

After Qian Jin finished speaking, everyone looked at the stairs leading to the fourth floor. The corridor was separated by an iron guardrail.
