Chapter 579: Chapter 4 Dai Lin’s Analysis

Under normal circumstances, Dai Lin could have learned the secrets of the hotel by simply acquiring a strand of hair from one of the hotel employees, which would have allowed him immediate access to their memories.

However, this was an examination, and Fei Jingyan had made it clear that under no circumstances were they to glean secrets from the hotel employees by any means. Moreover, because Dai Lin’s Devil’s Eye was such a powerful tool for gathering intelligence, Fei Jingyan had also made a point to specifically emphasize to Dai Lin ahead of time, "Dr. Dai, once the examination begins, the dean will be monitoring the entire process. So, you know what your Devil’s Eye can and cannot look at, don’t you need me to stress this?"

"I understand."

Behind Dai Lin, a hotel employee was carrying the suitcase he had prepared in advance. After all, he would have to stay here for at least three days.

Dai Lin’s room was on the ninth floor.

Right below the floor of the chief examiner.

"Hello, this is your room card, please take it."

After handing the room card to Dai Lin, the hotel employee lifted his hand to adjust his hat and said in quite fluent Mandarin, "Just to be safe, I’ll ask one more time, dear guest, you..."

With many ethnic Chinese in Malaysia, and a high proportion of Chinese among the tourists here, the Mandarin spoken by the hotel staff was very good indeed.

"You remember the seven rules of staying, right? When you booked your room, we made it clear that if any incident occurs as a result of violating these rules, our hotel takes no responsibility."

The employee spoke as if reciting from memory, without any intonation or emotion—it was evident... he had said this so many times that his delivery had become very mechanical.

"Of course, just as stated on our hotel’s official website," the hotel employee delivered the last sentence, "regarding these seven rules of staying, we will not explain the reasons to any guests."

A wry smile crossed Dai Lin’s mind.

He couldn’t ask even if he wanted to.

But from the employee’s words, and Fei Jingyan’s repeated emphasis, he could almost be certain that the hotel staff must know many secrets.

"I’m aware. I will comply with the rules of staying."

"Good, as long as you follow the rules of staying, you can have a pleasant time at our Oroñe Hotel."

Dai Lin watched the hotel employee leave, then used the room card to open the door.

It was a standard room with a large bed, and from the hotel’s window, the sea outside was directly visible.

Dai Lin walked out onto the balcony of his hotel room and immediately activated his Devil’s Eye to scan the room, making sure to avoid scanning the adjacent rooms to avoid being caught by the dean for peeping at other doctors and disqualified from the exam.

"There’s nothing out of the ordinary."

Dai Lin placed his suitcase in a corner of the room and sat down on the hotel’s sofa, picked up the remote control, and turned on the liquid crystal television screen in front of him.

At that moment, the television was airing a late-night local cartoon.

He certainly didn’t intend to watch any TV programs, but having the television on somehow helped to dispel some of the oppressive atmosphere. He definitely wouldn’t be sleeping, so he might as well leave the television on throughout the long night.

The only thing the Paranormal Doctor needed to do was to survive here; there were no additional demands. Of course, this was aside from the task of finding Director Li’s body.

Of course, with the confidence that he could return to Hospital 444 at any moment, the Paranormal Doctor also dared to take risks. After all, everyone knows the saying that fortune favors the bold. It was obviously impossible to spend three days alone in a room without stepping out.

"We can’t inquire about the truth from the hotel staff or guests, but that doesn’t mean we can’t verify it in other ways."

Now...

The examination had officially begun.

From this moment, if he could endure three days, he would immediately advance to a senior title, becoming the fastest promoted associate chief physician in the history of Hospital 444.

Dai Lin subconsciously glanced at his watch.

"Seven rules of stay... no laughing..."

This meant he had to manage his expressions at all times. Not crying was easy, but controlling laughter was not so simple. After all, a moment of joy could subconsciously lead to a smile, which he might not even notice.

"I must be vigilant at all times, even if something delightful happens, like passing the exam, I can’t laugh."

Dai Lin wasn’t actually watching the TV program in front of him; it was just to prevent the room from falling into total silence, and if there were any strange noises, they wouldn’t be masked by the sound of the television. He had also confirmed that this late-night cartoon contained no comedic elements; on the contrary, the content was quite dark and gruesome.

"Then there’s the knocking... not more than four times..."

In other words, if someone knocked more than four times, whatever was outside might not be "human."

But, come to think of it, sometimes after four knocks and no answer, a person might forget this rule in the moment and knock a fifth time. It was certainly not impossible.

However... it’s hard to say. Oroñe Hotel was infamously known as a haunted hotel in Malaysia, with a nefarious reputation. In such cases... it’s likely that no one would dare to break the rules here. Unless, they were mischievous children.

Speaking of which, Dai Lin remembered the hotel website specifically advising guests against bringing minors, especially children under ten years old. Children often don’t understand the gravity of things and might even deliberately break the rules. Moreover, strictly prohibiting children from laughing seemed like a nearly impossible task. And if there were babies, it would be even more troublesome; after all, you can’t control whether a baby laughs or not.

And this point was actually quite absurd. Naturally, forbidding children from staying meant rejecting family travellers. The hotel’s establishment of such rules was bound to result in substantial income loss, combined with various horror rumors. How did the hotel manage to operate until now?

Then there were the rules about blood.

The hotel’s food, even if it’s a rare or medium-rare steak, would not have blood. At the same time, guests were also advised not to bleed within the hotel. This was another reason children were not recommended as guests; playful and prone to roughhousing, kids were naturally more likely to be injured than adults.

The Paranormal Doctor could already ensure his own health, without skin diseases or oral ulcers, and so, he wouldn’t bleed for no reason. But for female doctors, it was a different matter, as menstruation itself was a sign of good health, so Gao Heyann could only delay her period by taking medication.

Next... there were the rules about shadows.

"Shadows..."

Dai Lin’s gaze subconsciously shifted to his own shadow cast upon the wall.

Actually, it wasn’t impossible for one person to have two shadows due to reflections from different light sources.

"Not counting shadows, this rule seems to encourage people to count them instead..."

Shadows...

Now, about the apartment dwellers, would their shadows show any anomalies?
