The receptionist said, “Only the 19th floor is available to book all rooms on the same floor. The suites on the 19th floor are all single rooms and which share one living room, but they are also more expensive. Do you want to upgrade them together?”

Hugh wanted to really stay on the same floor, so he agreed.

The check-in was done quickly.

The four of them dragged their luggage to the elevator again.

This time they finally got on the elevator.

The elevator seemed to have run for a long time before it reached the nineteenth floor. According to the room key, the doors of the four of them were placed side by side.

Mary picked one at random.. Herman lived next to her.

Mary opened the door and entered the room. The facilities in the room were much better than she had expected.

Although it was a little old, it was not broken or dirty. It was still clean.

Moreover, there was a bathtub in the bathroom, but the mattress was a little old, and it was creaking.

Mary pushed open the sliding door on the balcony and came to the balcony.

She was lucky enough to get a room that looked out. Looking out, it was impossible to see what was in the distance in the misty mountains.

Hugh and Adela were not so lucky, their balcony looked like a cliff wall!

Moreover, the entire room was so dark that the lights had to be turned on.

“I want to change rooms! Why can’t I get four rooms in a row for the same amount of money?!”

Hugh took the card and went downstairs with Adela.

After a while, the two came back with their heads lowered. Mary asked what was going on, and Adela said, “This receptionist is mysterious. There’s no one else down there!”

This hotel was indeed strange from the beginning to the end.

The four of them went into their respective rooms. Mary took out the two blades in the box and began to study them carefully.

The blood stains had been cleaned up long ago, and the blades were sharp and shiny. Together, they formed a peerless weapon, separated into two sharp machetes.

Mary admired her new weapon. She did not know when she had fallen asleep on the sofa.

In the haze, she felt a pair of eyes staring at her.

But she couldn’t open her eyes…

Suddenly, Mary was awakened by a hurried knock on the door!

Mary struggled and finally woke up!

She got up from the sofa and ran to open the door. Herman was outside.

Herman saw her like this and frowned worriedly. “What happened to you?”

Mary waved her hand and panted. “I had a nightmare.”

Herman looked up at her living room. “Your knife fell to the ground.”

Mary turned around. It was her double knife.

Mary was about to bend down to pick it up when she saw a few fingerprints on the blade.

Mary frowned and squatted on the ground, not getting up.

Herman followed her in and walked to her side. “What’s wrong?”

Mary looked up at him. “I’m very sure that I wiped the blade clean. There can’t be any fingerprints on the blade!”

Herman squatted down and saw that the fingerprints on the four fingers on the blade were clear.

He held the hilt and turned it over. Sure enough, there was another fingerprint on the other side.

Someone had grabbed the blade.

Herman’s expression was very calm. “If you didn’t take it by accident, who could it be?”

Mary was about to speak when Hugh and Adela walked out at the same time.

They looked at each other and then entered Mary’s room, which was not closed.

Hugh came in angrily and complained, “I just fell asleep! When I woke up after falling asleep, I found that the water I poured in the cup had somehow spilled on my computer. I was so angry!”

Adela also said, “Me too. I fell asleep suddenly. When I woke up, I found that two of my braids had been cut off.”

Everyone looked at the two braids around Adela’s cheeks that had been cut off, leaving only the hair on the top of his fluffy head. They were all sympathetic.

Mary looked at Herman. “What about you? Didn’t anything strange happen?”

Herman said, “I didn’t fall asleep.”

Mary replied, “How is that possible? Why? I think it’s strange that we all fell asleep suddenly. Why didn’t you fall asleep?”

Hugh understood and asked Mary, “You fell asleep too? What happened?”

Mary pointed at the knife on the ground. “Someone took my knife. There are fingerprints on it.”

Hugh took a deep breath. “If I kill you while you’re asleep…”

Mary smiled at Hugh. “You can kill me, or I can kill all of you.”

Hugh hugged himself tightly. “I suddenly regret having a room for each of us. Shall the four of us sleep together?”

Adela nodded frantically in agreement.

Mary replied, “You wish!”

Herman said, “I didn’t fall asleep probably because I lit the special incense I brought in the room.”

Then, the three of them asked him for the incense.

Although they didn’t know if someone was behind it, no one wanted to confide in them.

Herman gave each of them a portion of the incense and told them to order it after they entered the room, because they had to eat something first.
