Zhu Yunyun's face, still glowing with the relief of a near escape, was quickly overtaken by terror. A slow, eerie voice whispered in her ear, "You're disturbing the other guests." Suddenly, the remaining lights in the hallway went out, plunging the entire area into complete darkness.
In a surge of panic-driven survival instinct, Zhu Yunyun forcefully pushed open the door to Zheng Qiang's room, which he had yet to fully close, and darted inside. Without a second thought, Zheng Qiang locked the door and immediately hung the security chain, fearing that the woman outside might use a master key to enter. He even moved the room's heavy table against the door as an extra barricade.
Meanwhile, Wen Nannan quietly shut her own room's door, twisting the lock with trembling hands. Breathing heavily, she shuddered as she recalled the events in the hallway. The guest on the 14th floor had been far scarier than any of the hotel's ghostly employees.
