Chapter 491 [Domain - First Gate] The Guest's Suitcase
Two o'clock in the morning.
The hotel was completely silent.
The first shift has been underway for two hours.
Zhang Xiaoshan was dozing off on the table. After several tests, Chen Ji confirmed that he was not an entrant into the domain, but just a college student who hadn't even graduated yet, and wasn't a hotel management major.
This batch of interns seems to have come from all sorts of backgrounds, and their ages vary, including a few older people.
As for how they got into the hotel, Zhang Xiaoshan's answer was vague. It wasn't that he was deliberately hiding anything, but rather that he genuinely seemed to have little recollection of that part of his memory.
Chen Ji didn't ask any more questions because Zhang Xiaoshan had become somewhat suspicious by the end.
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Chen Ji turned his attention to the computer.
The above is a work guide.
It's simple:
1. Processing check-in and check-out procedures for guests.
2. Complete the tasks assigned to the guest.
This line is in bold.
3. Hotels must remain fully booked.
The last point caught Chen Ji's attention.
After checking the system, he found that there was no guest information on the computer, only a simple line of numbers:
Number of rooms remaining: 2/30
[Note: The rooms have been booked and the guests have not yet arrived.]
Therefore, Chen Ji now only needs to wait for the last two guests to appear.
But the greatest danger of this hotel lies precisely with its guests, something Chen Ji had already experienced firsthand when he first entered the domain!
Thinking of this, Chen Ji's expression changed slightly.
Unlike normal hotels, here, the front desk does not have room keys.
He suspected that the room wasn't locked at all, nor was there any need to lock it. After all, if it was full of ghosts, an ordinary person would die as soon as they went in.
While I was thinking, suddenly, the walkie-talkie started buzzing.
“I hear footsteps coming from the mist,” Phil’s voice came indistinctly. “Someone’s coming. Get ready.”
The guests have arrived!
Chen Ji immediately woke Zhang Xiaoshan up, and looked up at the door. He saw several interns from the concierge department standing up straight, looking out.
A minute or two later.
Two figures slowly emerged from the gray mist.
A man and a woman, both with their heads down.
The man was bald, short and stout, and carrying a black backpack.
The woman was pulling a suitcase; she was extremely thin.
They slowly walked up to Liu Zi and stopped.
Gululu.
The suitcase was pushed in front of Liu Zi, who caught it.
The handle was ice-cold.
"Was this suitcase stored in a cold storage room...?"
Liu Zi subconsciously looked up and glanced at it, then felt a chill run down his spine and dared not look any longer.
The woman's pale face was tightly wrapped around her bones, with two unsettlingly large eyes embedded in it. Her gaze was slightly neurotic as she stared intently at Liu Zi.
A few seconds later, she turned around and walked into the hotel with the man.
Liu Zi had no choice but to follow, and upon hearing the interns behind him, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Only Fei'er followed silently behind him.
A man and a woman walked to the front desk without saying a word.
Chen Ji's palms were slightly sweaty; he had no idea about the check-in process.
Zhang Xiaoshan remained silent, it was unclear whether he dared not speak or if this was simply the proper course of action.
An eerie silence ensued...
The printer suddenly started making noise.

A few seconds later, it spat out a piece of paper.
Chen Ji quickly glanced at the contents of the paper, and his heart sank.
He didn't show his emotions, but maintained a calm tone as he spoke to the two of them:
"Your room number is 2013."
"Please call the front desk if you need anything."
There is only one room.
The two people are living together, and they seem to be a couple. So, there's still one guest who hasn't arrived yet.
Moreover, this process is far too simplistic... Is it really that simple?
To Chen Ji's surprise, the bald man nodded slightly and then turned and left with the woman.
Nothing happened.
I walked step by step toward the elevator.
The danger isn't at the front desk... it's in the concierge department.
Chen Ji frowned as he watched Liu Zi and Fei Er walk past him. As members of the concierge department, they were responsible for delivering the luggage to the guest rooms.
Guest rooms......
Guest rooms!
Is this the problem?
Are they going in?
This question simultaneously surfaced in Liu Zi's mind.
He slowed his pace as much as possible, the thought of being stuck in the elevator with these two things—whether human or ghost—and possibly even having to go into their room later...
A very bad premonition rose in Liu Zi's heart.
He had to avoid being in the same room with the couple no matter what.
The best course of action is to wait until they take the elevator up, then leave the suitcase at the door and turn around and leave.
After all, many hotels operate in this way.
Thinking of this, Liu Zi stopped and looked at Chen Ji, revealing a very forced smile.
Do you have a luggage tag?
He planned to stall for time as much as possible.
Chen Ji frowned and did not answer him immediately, but instead glanced at the elevator out of the corner of his eye.
The couple, one fat and one thin, had already entered the elevator.
The man kept his head down, gripping the straps of his backpack with both hands.
Only the woman was staring in that direction, constantly biting her fingers, looking like she had a nervous breakdown.
......
wrong.
Chen Ji followed her gaze, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She wasn't looking at Liu Zi, she was looking at her suitcase!
why?
Is there something wrong with the suitcase?
The next second, Chen Ji heard the elevator doors slowly closing, instantly confirming his guess!
"Quick, give her back her suitcase—"
He hadn't finished speaking.
Liu Zi's face suddenly turned deathly pale.
The suitcase in his hand suddenly felt incredibly heavy.
Bang!
It slammed heavily to the ground, and instantly, the entire box scattered, revealing its contents...
luggage.
Everyone held their breath for a moment.
There were no clothes in the suitcase.
There is nothing that a normal person would put in their suitcase.
only......
A corpse with its limbs broken and its entire body folded up.
No head.
Wearing white mourning clothes.
This scene was chilling, but what was even more terrifying was...
next second.
The severed hand of the corpse moved.
The feet moved too.
Click.
Click.
Its joints are moving slowly.
"A ghost...a ghost! It's coming out!" Zhang Xiaoshan's face was full of fear. Clearly, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation in the hotel.
Before this, although he knew that many interns had disappeared and had some guesses, he had never actually faced a ghost.
Or rather, an intern who has faced ghosts directly...
They're all dead now.
"go!"
Chen Ji shouted and grabbed Zhang Xiaoshan, and the four of them immediately moved away from the suitcases and ran towards the restaurant behind the lobby!
A few seconds later, a chill that could freeze blood vessels shot straight to their backs!
But by then, the four of them had already pushed open the restaurant door and rushed straight in—
A familiar table came into view.
Front desk.
They returned to the lobby.
There was an empty suitcase in the lobby.
“We can’t go into the restaurant; that’s not our work area.”
Chen Ji instantly understood.
But that ghost could... it also entered that door, but went straight into the restaurant!
