Chapter 29: The Sound

  Transtor: der Transtions

  "After he took the four keys the woman handed over, he put them in his left pocket," Jiang g said calmly. "Then, his left hand stayed in the pocket, and I’m not sure what he was doing in there. Meanwhile, he kept talking, trying to distract us."

  Fatty felt like his brain was starting to fail him again. He asked cautiously, "Do you think he did something to the keys?"

  "It's not clear for now," Jiang g replied. "I checked the keys just now and didn't find anything strange."

  Nodding, Fatty muttered to himself, "So, Doctor, you sent the woman in pajamas to interrupt his little tricks?"

  Fatty gritted his teeth and said indignantly, "Doctor, that guy in the suit looked alright, but I never expected he'd be so sneaky. He evealiated by assigning us to room 404."

  "I'm going to take a nap first," Jiang g ignored him and turned over. "Wake me up in an hour."

  "Got it." Fatty took the watch Jiang g tossed to him.

  The watch strap was too short, so he couldn’t wear it. He just held it in his hand.

  Though not very sleepy, Fatty sat up to avoid dozing off, ing himself in a b.

  The night was incredibly quiet, and the whole campus felt dead.

  Fatty thought that there probably weren’t any students living nearby; otherwise, it wouldn't be this silent.

  An hour passed, and Fatty got off the bed and shook Jiang g awake.

  Jiang g was a light sleeper; as soon as Fatty got up, he had already woken up. However, he waited for Fatty to nudge him a few times befroggily opening his eyes.

  Sitting up, he stretched his ned shoulders. The pillows here weren’t fortable; he was used to sleeping on buckillows at home and couldn't get used to these soft cotton ones.

  "Anything strange happen while I was asleep?"

  "Nope," Fatty replied. "Don't worry, Doctor. If I’d seen even a cockroach, I’d have woken you up. You know me—I’m super alert."

  Jiang g got up and walked to the door, listening for any sounds in the hallway from a short distance away.

  After a while, he returo his bed, lying down to listen to the movements from the neighb room.

  "Doctor," Fatty said, "they should all be asleep. It's really quiet around here."

  Jiang g gave him a g said nothing. He took back the watch from Fatty’s hand and strapped it onto his own wrist.

  Fatty, though not hungry after eating some chocote, was feeling quite thirsty.

  About half an hour passed, and Jiang g mentally estimated that it was time to act. He instructed Fatty to apletely unaware, no matter what happened .

  Fatty uzzled but trusted Jiang g enough to agree without hesitation.

  Jiang g dug out an old one-yuan from a er on the floor, then picked it up and walked to the wall near his bed. Using the ’s edge, he lightly scraped the wall.

  "Scratch—"

  "Scratch—"

  The sound was faint but, in the quiet night, it was unusually clear.

  "What are you doing?"

  The scraping noise made Fatty’s skin crawl. Many people have a natural aversion to such sounds.

  Jiang g didn’t answer, tinuing the scraping.

  Soon, faint sounds could be heard from the room, disanized and panicked.

  That was room 405.

  The room where the man in the suit and the guy in the baseball cap were staying.

  After a few more moments, the sound of a door opening echoed down the hallway, followed by hurried, erratic footsteps.

  Jiang g immediately stopped scraping, carefully wiping the of any wall residue, then tossed it into an inspicuous er.

  However, the footsteps were moving away from Jiang g’s room, heading in the opposite dire. Then came a knock, and the voices of the man in the suit and the guy in the baseball cap.

  Soon enough, the hallway became lively.

  Jiang g feigned waking up, slowly opening his door with a drowsy expression. Seeing everyohered outside, his face immediately showed fear. "What’s going on? What happened?"

  The man in the suit froze for a moment when he saw Jiang g, then asked in a straone, "Did you hear a weird sound?"

  "A weird sound?" Jiang g scratched his head. "No, I just fell asleep. It's really quiet around here."

  "You didn't hear anything?" The man in the suit’s face darkened. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he asked urgently, "What about the fatty in your room?"

  "I'm here," Fatty responded, poking his head out of the room, his hair a mess as if he had just woken up. "Bro, what's up?"

  Clearly in a rush, the man in the suit asked directly, "Did you hear any strange noise?"

  He paused, then described, "Like something being scraped with a spoon or something simir?"

  Fatty widened his eyes in fusion, "No, I’ve been awake the whole time and didn’t hear a thing."

  Hearing Jiang g and Fatty’s responses, everyone except the man in the suit and the guy in the baseball cap sighed in relief.

  They all looked at the man in the suit with strange expressions.

  Only the people in room 405 had heard the strange sound. Did that mean they would be the first to enter something?

  In other words, they would be the first to die.

  "We’re going back," the woman in the qipao said first.

  She walked back to her room, followed by the woman in dinosaur pajamas, ging to her like a shadow, afraid of bei behind.

  Seeing room 407 act so decisively, the three from room 406 didn't hesitate either. After a few polite exges, they scurried back to their room as well, shutting the door as if trying to keep something from following them in.

  Now, only the man in the suit and the guy in the baseball cap remaiheir expressions dark enough to drip water.

  Jiang g leaned against the door, looking fused. Then, as if he had just realized something, he blurted out, "Wait… could hearing that strange souhe trigger fhost to kill? That’s terrifying!"

  "Fatty," Jiang g turo him, flustered. "Are you sure you didn’t hear anything?"

  Fatty pyed along perfectly, "Brother, I swear, I didn’t. What about you?"

  "Same as everyone else, I was asleep. I didn’t hear a thing." Jiang g spread his hands, putting on an i, pitiful expression.

  "Well, that’s a relief." Fatty said, "Looks like we’re safe."

  With that, the two of them shut their door, leaving the man in the suit and the guy in the baseball cap standing alone in the dimly lit hallway.

  TL: Damn, that’s just pure diabolical... I love it!
