This could be the worst possible outcome.
Because this means that all previous speculations about the conditions of the two hotels are wrong. It is possible that the two hotels have no chronological order at all, and may just be two different spaces.
But Schiller believes that things are not that simple. The two hotels cannot be independent of each other. The question about communication raised by Jerome also proves this point. Since Jerome, an ordinary person, has a way to communicate with people in another hotel, it proves that there must be some connections between the two hotels that ordinary people can also discover.
Schiller still believed that the connection was time, but he didn't have time to think about how it was connected. He had to deal with the situation in front of him first.
Although the plan went wrong, Schiller was not panicked. In fact, Schiller was not a very arrogant person. He would not bet his entire fortune on one of his speculations, so even in the current situation, he still had a way to turn the tables.
It is known that the supernatural phenomena in the room cannot affect the outside of the room. In addition to the walls, Schiller speculates that this supernatural phenomenon should not affect the corridor either.
Because he had moved very quickly before and had thrown out all the small items that could fly in the living room, there is now only a sofa and a TV cabinet left in the entire living room, and there are not many other obstacles.
Although the floating sofa and TV cabinet seemed ready to move, Schiller could have rushed into the room in an instant, opened the door and rushed into the corridor, which would have counted as leaving the room.
The problem is that the corridor may not be safe. After all, at midnight, the mysterious monitoring rule will be activated. Although Schiller carries the alarm clock with him, if he encounters the detection pollution head-on, he will probably not have a good ending.
So it's not enough to just rush into the corridor. If you don't stay in room 1905, you have to find another room.
So what are the rooms to choose from? In fact, Schiller has almost no choice, because he only has the door card of room 1905. The other rooms cannot be opened without the door card, except for one room, which is room 1913.
The door of Room 1913 was already open, so it seemed that the best option now was for Schiller to rush out the door immediately to the corridor and then rush into Room 1913 before the monitoring rules took effect.
But Schiller didn't intend to do that.
He was very sure that Room 1913 must be a trap, not entirely because of the number 13, but more because the whole series of plans went too smoothly.
Schiller is not Batman, nor has he reached the point where he instinctively suspects the whole world, but he still has the necessary vigilance. As I said before, if the supernatural being in the room wants to kill people, there is no need for him to control the furniture and throw it around. He must have a special reason for doing so.
Schiller had never been to the bathroom, so he didn't know if there were any killer moves in the bathroom, but there was also a possibility that the other party threw the furniture around in order to force him out of the room, and then let him encounter the danger in the corridor, and then rush into Room 1913 to hide.
If it was a ghost that was controlling the hotel now, Schiller might not have made such an assumption, because ghosts do not have such high IQs, and their disordered brain waves often make them choose to attack directly instead of setting a trap ingeniously. Only an outer god would do this.
Nyarlathotep is quite clever and cunning, more sinister than almost any human being. He is also very patient, good at disguising himself and deceiving others. To face such an opponent, one must not hesitate to speculate on him with the most vicious intentions.
In other words, killing humans is not Naiad's purpose at all. He deceives humans in order to play with them. He enjoys manipulating humans, so he is more likely to come up with such a scam so that Schiller will not fall for it.
Schiller had another idea.
He now had his feet on the lower window sill and his hands on the upper window sill, but the wind was very strong right now, and even though his wind-exposed area was not large, he had to hold on very tightly to keep his body steady, and this obviously could not last for too long.
Schiller is now on the far right side of the window. The hotel's windows are sliding windows, with a total of two windows. The left one can be pushed to the right. Schiller had pushed that window over before in order to throw something, which means that there are now two pieces of glass on the right side, and the left side is open.
Schiller was standing on the far right, with only one foot on the windowsill and half of his body outside the window. Only a small half of his body could be seen from inside the window, so the furniture did not move.
Schiller very carefully moved his hands and feet to the left, that is, he brought his body back to the window, as if he could no longer maintain his balance and wanted to land his other foot as well.
Because the window was not very big, Schiller could not see what was happening inside the window, but he could hear a faint sound. As expected, the sofa had flown up.
Precisely because the supernatural phenomena in the room might be intelligent, he understood a very simple truth, that is, even if he could not affect the outside of the room, the laws of physics were enough to kill a person.
Schiller had demonstrated it to him before. When he threw things out of the window, he didn't just stretch out his hand. Instead, he stood at a certain distance from the window and threw the things directly out.
The object was out of his control the moment it was thrown out, but inertia caused it to still fly along the original route.
Therefore, the supernatural phenomena in the room do not require controlling the sofa outside the room, but only need to throw the sofa out towards the window. Even if the sofa is out of his control at the moment it leaves the window, the inertia is enough to knock Schiller down.
The sofa made a buzzing sound, as if some power was gathering strength, and Schiller continued to tentatively expose more of his body.
Whoosh—bang! Crash!
The sofa flew towards the window at a very fast speed, and half of it crashed out with a bang. The right half of the glass shattered, but Schiller was not knocked down, and the sofa was stuck on the window frame.
This is the result of precise calculations. If the sofa is inserted at this angle, it is bound to get stuck.
The back of the sofa is higher than the window frame, and no matter how much force is applied to an ordinary sofa, it is impossible to directly break the hotel wall, so logically speaking, the sofa should not be able to be thrown out.
But Schiller was standing on the right side of the window. If he wanted to aim at him with such a long sofa, he had to adjust the angle. It was this slight adjustment of the tilted angle that allowed the sofa to just pass through the window frame, but not completely pass through, so it was stuck.
But Schiller's current situation was also very dangerous. The moment he rushed out from the sofa, his hands left the wall and he dodged to the right, leaving only one foot standing on the window sill.
It was obviously unstable to stand in this situation, and Schiller was about to fall down. However, in the process of falling, he adjusted his body posture and let himself fall to the left. As he fell, he happened to hit the small half of the sofa that had rushed out.
One hand instantly grabbed the back of the sofa, and Schiller turned his body back, barely stabilizing himself.
Now, a sofa was sticking out of the window, with a small half of it outside the window. A man was standing behind the sofa, grabbing the back of the sofa and flipping over it without much effort.
Most of the sofas were inside the window. According to the principle of leverage, the outer section of the sofa, which was just big enough for one person to sit on, could withstand a lot of force. At least it could easily carry Schiller's weight. After Schiller flipped over the back of the sofa, he nestled inside.
This has many advantages, such as he doesn't have to stand there all night, and the wind will blow just on the back of the sofa and almost never reach Schiller, so he can stay there all night.
Schiller tightened his windbreaker. Fortunately, this season was not very cold. It would be okay for him to sit here all night. There was nothing to do anyway, so he began to study the alarm clock.
From the outside, there was nothing unusual about this alarm clock. The only part that could be safely removed was the battery compartment. Schiller gently pried the lid of the battery compartment and found that it was easy to open.
But as expected, there were no batteries in the battery compartment. After all, the sound that was ringing was not the sound of an alarm clock, but the sound of an elevator, so it didn't matter whether the alarm clock had energy or not.
With the help of the light from his mobile phone, Schiller suddenly found something in the battery compartment. He reached out and pulled hard, and found that it was actually two strands of hair.
Those were two long black hairs, which looked to be of good quality. The owner must have taken good care of them. Schiller observed carefully and found that they were not broken hair, but fallen hair. The side close to the hair follicle did not look very healthy.
This is actually very abnormal, because most people's hair ends are rough, and newly grown hair is smoother. This situation can only happen if the owner of the hair is sick or has some problems in the recent period of time when the hair has grown.
Schiller continued to look into the battery compartment, but there was nothing inside. The two hairs did not seem to be sticking out from the inside of the alarm clock, but seemed to have been specially placed in the battery compartment.
Schiller wrapped the two strands of hair with a piece of sticky paper, then took out his cell phone. He wanted to see if there was any signal outside the hotel. After turning it on, he found that there was a signal, but it was disordered. Some messy patterns began to flash on the screen of the phone.
Schiller put his phone away again and wanted to use the communication device to ask Peter about the situation, but as soon as he opened the chat box, he found that Peter had sent him a message and a photo.
In the photo, the window in the living room seemed to have changed. Schiller enlarged the photo and saw many more traces of friction on the outer edge of the window frame.
Schiller lowered his head and saw the same marks on the part of the sofa that had protruded out.
So, I am the past???
