Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 427 The Strange Room

At that time, inns still used names like "Heaven" and "Earth" for room numbers. Yunzhi and Lan chose the "Heaven" room, which was the best room in the inn, equivalent to the best suite in a hotel at that time.

...After all, they have money, and they can't possibly squeeze into a large dormitory with everyone else.

So, with such advanced technology, why are there still large dormitory-style rooms in inns?

Xing completely forgot that even nowadays hotels... actually have rooms for four, five, or six people.

But the top-tier rooms at this inn were truly beautifully decorated, with two large beds, a terrace, and a bathroom—everything you could need…

No matter how many times she watches it, Yunzhi always feels a strong sense of incongruity.

The glass door leading to the balcony was bright and clear. Young Yun Zhi was nestled in a small hanging basket on the balcony reading a book. He had long since taken off his armor and was dressed in thin clothes, his calves swinging back and forth.

Young Lan looked at the sky and warned, "Zhi, it's going to rain."

Starships don't experience rain for various reasons, but they can create rain artificially.

Yun Zhi responded and returned to her room, closing the sliding door to the balcony.

And on the door and walls of the room behind them...

A large group of people were lying there peeking.

Sand Gold couldn't hold back any longer and spoke silently:

"Are we being too suspicious of each other?"

Sasana covered his mouth: "Don't talk, my cute little brother, can you please consider the occasion?"

Portio was equally speechless:

"Then why is Xing so arrogant?"

That's right, as an unnamed explorer, one should naturally be brave enough to explore the "unknown".

So, Xing didn't hesitate to take Saber and rummage through the room.

And so, it happened...

—The bedside table drawer suddenly opened.

Young Lan glanced at it, puzzled, and then turned it off.

—The bathroom shower suddenly turned on by itself.

The young man, Yun, who was washing his hands in the bathroom, looked up and down at the water pipe and then turned it off.

—A storm is coming, and the sky above the starship begins to simulate lightning and rumbling thunder.

As lightning flashed across the sky, the two young soldiers saw a toad-like shadow crawling on the glass door.

???

"Was it like this back then?"

His comrades were completely bewildered.

They knew the two bosses had encountered some strange things, but they didn't know it was this kind of... supernatural?

After all, from the perspective of the boss and the others, they couldn't see Miss Xing.

"No, it wasn't like this back then... Hoshi, come down quickly!"

Yunzhi quickly pulled Xing back from trying to rummage through the trash can.

Her servant covered his face, feeling genuinely embarrassed.

Meanwhile, outside, dark clouds loomed overhead, threatening to crush the city, and amidst the rumbling thunder, a torrential downpour began.

The people on the street immediately disappeared without a trace.

Rainy days are perfect for staying home. A book, a bed, and a glass of water are all you need to stay comfortably all day.

As night fell, it was time for the two of them to rest.

It seems that apart from Xing causing trouble, nothing else happened.

and so--

"See, it's about to begin."

Yun smiled slightly.

----------------

In the dead of night, all was quiet; the night watchman's voice had vanished, and it seemed like just an ordinary night.

But Yunzhi, who was lying on the bed, suddenly curled up and shrank himself tightly into the quilt.

Everyone seemed to share a common feeling with Yun.

"What happened?"

Sand Gold and Sasana were embracing each other at some point.

It felt like someone was blowing air into my back.

At first it was just a little bit, but gradually the icy feeling grew to the size of a plate, and soon spread throughout the entire body, chilling to the bone.

The android lady took a few steps back while hugging the robin:

"I never imagined that Mr. Grady's silent films could have such power."

Greta: "No."

Yun Zhixiao: "It's just an immersive experience."

The star has shrunk into a ball:

"Even Yalilo-6 is warmer than here."

After all, they still have the protection of the [Pioneer] forces there.

"That's how it was from the beginning."

Yun Zhi Shang took two steps forward: "When I was sleeping, I felt someone breathing on my back. Gradually, the whole bed became cold and a little damp."

Young Yunzhi was a very good sleeper and didn't react for a moment, but instinctively wrapped herself up even tighter.

Young Lan was sleeping soundly on his back, thankfully he didn't snore.

"So... are we just going to wait like this until dawn?"

The robin shivered and asked.

"No, actually I woke up not long after."

Yun pointed to himself.

As he said, in the script, Yunzhi opened his eyes, sat up groggily, and then groggily touched the bed sheet.

There was a strange smell.

He rubbed his head to clear his head.

The candle-shaped lamp was turned on.

—In fact, Yunzhi initially thought this was just a male physiological phenomenon.

...But when he saw the dark red stain beneath him, he knew that this was not a male physiological phenomenon.

Unless it fell out there, there wouldn't be so much crimson.

The young Yun was shocked.

A group of onlookers were also shocked.

"Wait, what's this?"

Archer stepped forward, bent down, and examined it closely: "Is it really blood?"

Saber asked, "Is this accommodation area... like Caster and Ryunosuke's place, a...?"

Is it a morgue?

"Possibly."

Archer speculated: "What happened next?"

The young Yunzhi woke up the young Lan, and the two of them stared at each other as they faced the blood-stained bed.

The young Yunzhi was the first to bend down, wanting to see under the bed.

There were two storage spaces under the bed, but when I pulled out the drawers, there was nothing there.

The drawer fits the bed perfectly, so there shouldn't be anyone under the bed.

Young Lan suddenly yanked the soft mattress off.

—No problem, you can see under the bed through the gaps in the wooden plank bed, there's nothing there.

There was nothing in the mattress, and no water was dripping from the ceiling.

This is very strange.

The young Yun looked himself over and confirmed that he was definitely not injured.

So, where did this blood come from?
