Chapter 596: Chapter 18 Why Do You Count Shadows

Dai Lin’s left and right eyes were now offering completely different perspectives.

At this moment, on Res Danwei’s chest, a terrifying ghostly face emerged.

Of course, Res wouldn’t notice it unless he took off his clothes.

This was originally a cursed object from the Demons Department doctor, Zhong Siming. Dai Lin killed Zhong Siming on the Blue Island and completely integrated his cursed object. However, this object was only used once in Nanmian Village to discern the spirits in the mist and had been almost completely unused ever since. So much so, that Dai Lin had nearly forgotten about this ability.

The exam rules prohibited actively asking hotel staff for help, but they likely didn’t forbid this method of detection, otherwise, Dai Lin’s previous actions would have already been deemed a violation.

Dai Lin thought that this method might be used to gather more information.

At this time, Res, the manager of the room service department, came down to the basement level of the hotel.

This level was, in fact, already beneath the sea.

"Alright, let’s have the meeting,"

he said, summoning all the staff members from the room service department.

"Today we had guests who broke two of our rules," Res was clearly dissatisfied, "This shows that your efforts in educating the hotel guests about the rules are sorely lacking."

"I am sorry, Manager Res," a Eurasian-looking woman spoke up at the time, "It was the negligence of our room service department."

"At least it was dealt with promptly," Manager Res looked at the six subordinates in the meeting, "You are the most trusted employees within the room service department, unlike the interns or those with less seniority, but you... must be especially vigilant and always keep the employee regulations in mind."

As he said this, he continued, "Alright, let’s move on to the task assignments and meeting minutes for the week. Lu Ting will record the meeting as usual."

Through the ghastly face on Res’s chest, Dai Lin saw everything clearly!

"Employee regulations..." Dai Lin’s curiosity stirred, "If only I could know the employee regulations, perhaps I could learn more about the hotel’s secrets."

"Manager, here’s the list of group reservations for the week, including ten from a travel group in Dubai..."

"These are complaints from guests last week..."

"Room 1203 had blood stains left by a guest yesterday," reported a staff member, "We have already dismissed the employee who failed to check this immediately when the guest checked out, and promptly incinerated the blood-stained sheets, with the process being recorded and all of it videotaped."

"Well done with the dismissal," Res nodded, "After all, we have the authority to hire and fire independently."

"I think it’s really hard to avoid bleeding incidents inside the hotel..."

"It’s indeed hard to avoid, but the response must be swift. We’ve explained this to all of our female guests. If something happens, the guests themselves are responsible."

Can people in the hotel service industry... be so tough with guests? Under normal circumstances, those seven rules of stay seem extremely absurd.

With growing suspicion, Dai Lin couldn’t help but ponder.

Just as the meeting was about to end, a walkie-talkie sounded.

"Manager Res," the voice from the hotel front desk came through the walkie-talkie, "a guest has just contacted the front desk, claiming that he counted his shadows and discovered he had two!"

"In that case, proceed with his checkout,"

"But he does not wish to leave and asked if there is any way we can deal with the problem of two shadows."

"What is the guest’s room number and name?"

Dai Lin immediately grew tense upon hearing this.

A guest with two shadows has appeared?

Who could it be?

"The guest is in room 908, his name is Li Song. I’ve already told him that leaving and checking out would solve the issue, but he refuses to do so."

"Why would anyone bother counting shadows..."

Li Song!

The chief physician of the Wraith Surgery Department! One of the Paranormal Doctors participating in this professional exam!

He counted his shadows?

"Discovered he has two shadows and still refuses to leave?"

"Yes, he insists on staying, asking us for a solution to this problem."

"There’s no solution other than checking out. Tell him that. If he still refuses, I’ll personally persuade him."

"Understood, Manager Res."

"His attitude is really abnormal."

After the walkie-talkie was switched off, the Eurasian woman, who was also the vice-manager of the room service department, said, "Normally the guests would be scared into leaving immediately after we tell them that’s the only solution."

"It is indeed strange."

"That’s enough for now."

Suddenly, Dai Lin heard a voice and then could no longer see the scene of the room service department meeting.

Turning his head, he saw the chief examiner Fei Jingyan!

"Your actions are nearing the boundary of violation," Fei Jingyan said to Dai Lin, "If you continue watching, I’ll have to declare your exam a failure."

Dai Lin looked at Fei Jingyan, realizing that he could no longer obtain information through this method.

"I understand, Dr. Fei."

How did he get in?

Fei Jingyan then turned and left directly.

Meanwhile, Dai Lin was mired in confusion.

For the earlier rules violations, the response was a direct referral to the Demons Department for medical treatment.

But for this later rule about counting shadows, it was determined that the guest must check out.

It was indeed just a matter of leaving the hotel directly.

Now, even a Paranormal Doctor had experienced a shadow anomaly?

Since Dai Lin could not inspect the other doctors’ hotel rooms, he naturally had no way to know what would happen to Dr. Li Song.

Ordinary people have no way to force a Paranormal Doctor to leave a hotel against their will! As for what methods they might use on him, Dai Lin could only speculate.

At this moment, Dai Lin subconsciously looked down at his own shadow.

At this time...

His shadow cast on the floor...

There was only one.

But for some reason, Dai Lin couldn’t shake off a lingering sense of unease.

"The rule about not counting shadows is a bit strange... If having two shadows is such a dangerous situation, shouldn’t you always count your shadows to ensure you only have one? If you don’t count and something unexpected happens?"

Dai Lin was suffocating with a strong sense of dread.

This feeling had been particularly strong since entering the hotel, and he couldn’t ignore it. The hotel gave him an intensely strong...

"Yes. That’s the feeling."

The feeling of being watched by something... every single moment.

Unignorable!

"Manager Res’s words were also strange."

Why would anyone bother counting shadows...

Why wouldn’t the hotel allow guests to count their shadows?

At this time, in Dr. Li’s room.

Pointing at the shadow on the wall, he asked the just-arrived Manager Res, "What should I do?"

Manager Res looked at him coldly.

"Why did you... feel the need to count your shadows?"
