Chapter 1443: Chapter 1438 Aren’t You Curious?

Thinking of this, Tang Ye stood up from his chair and started his door-knocking service upstairs.

It was past eleven o’clock by seven or eight minutes. During this time, everyone staying in the hotel had gone to sleep. Tang Ye continuously knocked on several room doors without any response.

Thump, thump, thump.

"Hello, is anyone there?" Upon reaching the second floor, Tang Ye knocked on Room One’s door. There was no reply; the breathing sounds that reached his ears were steady, sounding like they were from a woman.

"She’s asleep." Shaking his head, Tang Ye moved to the door of Room Two, mechanically repeating his earlier actions as if he were a worker in an assembly line.

Thump, thump, thump~

The sound of Tang Ye’s knuckles knocking on the door was heard again. Before Tang Ye could offer a polite greeting, he heard the breathing from inside Room Two quicken!

"Hey, looks like someone’s not asleep."

A smile appeared on his face as he continued knocking on the door. The "thump, thump, thump" sound echoed in the corridor, and the reverberation made it deepen.

"Person inside, open the door."

He asked the person inside to open the door but received no reply; however, the breathing sounds from inside became even more rapid. He heard two words from the erratic breathing, that was—nervousness!

Yet this person strictly adhered to the norm, not responding to any strangeness at all, perhaps not even opening their eyes, trying hard to pretend to be asleep.

"Open up, the person inside, I know you’re awake, otherwise don’t blame me for breaking in!"

Tang Ye threatened, but still, there was no response from inside. Out of desperation, he said, "I am a normal person, why don’t you open the door and see?"

"... Well, since it’s like this, I won’t be polite anymore."

With a sigh, Tang Ye gripped the doorknob lightly and pulled; the door lock, along with a bunch of wood chips, was directly ripped off, and the broken door lock was casually thrown aside by Tang Ye before he opened the door. The first thing he saw was a man in his thirties lying on the bed.

In the darkness, Tang Ye could see clearly that although the man had his eyes closed, his brows were deeply furrowed into a distinct "Chuan" character! One could imagine the nervousness in this man’s heart at this moment!

Tang Ye, unapologetic, walked directly to the bedside and patted the man’s cheek.

"Hey buddy, wake up!"

When his hand touched the man’s skin, the man shivered but didn’t dare to move; this scene inexplicably made Tang Ye want to laugh.

"Stop pretending, I know you’re feigning sleep. I said I’m a normal person, why still don’t you believe?"

While speaking, Tang Ye patted the man again. Perhaps feeling no malice from Tang Ye’s presence, the man’s furrowed brows relaxed a bit. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes, but even this small movement was extremely cautious.

Tang Ye switched on the light, and the sudden brightness made the man jump, but it also dispelled most of his fear and allowed him to see Tang Ye’s appearance.

"You..." The man uttered a word, his face full of disbelief. Tang Ye knew that this might be the man’s first time opening his eyes at night to see the world.

"I told you I’m a normal person, and you still don’t believe." Tang Ye said discontentedly, but unexpectedly, the man suddenly became terrified: "You’re a normal person? Then why did you come to me..."

The man’s words seemed unfinished, and Tang Ye was somewhat speechless. Are everyone’s thoughts in this world like this? But thinking about it, this might be less strange if it were created by zombies.

Tang Ye noticed that the man was looking at the light during his talks, and his gaze carried a bit of curiosity, which confirmed some of Tang Ye’s suspicions. The abnormal darkness had been present from the beginning; before this abnormal darkness, it had always been so because they had never seen what normal darkness was like, so normal people thought this was normal darkness.

"I checked all around, and only you were awake. If not you, then who?"

The man’s gaze shifted from the chandelier, and he then asked another question.

"How did you know I was awake?"

"I have my ways; I can tell by breathing whether someone is asleep or not. Those asleep shouldn’t be disturbed, but you, not sleeping, if not you then who? Moreover, I can not only hear whether a person is sleeping but also hear whether some things are actually people or not!"

The man was startled, almost leaping from the bed, shouting, "Don’t scare me!"

"Is this your first time being scared?"

"Uh..." The man hesitated for a moment, then said: "Still, you are the first one to defy the norm regulation, have you always been so brave?"

"What? ...Well, I too opened my eyes for the first time after the prohibition. I think we might have been deceived, actually. Not following the norm regulation at night wouldn’t really cause problems." Tang Ye said, his words had another motive.

The man seemed a bit dumbfounded, then retorted: "How is that possible!"

Tang Ye spread his hands, replied: "Look, I’m fine, aren’t I still okay?"

"Impossible, I’ve seen others die from violating the norm regulation!"

"Violating the norm regulation leads to death?"

"Of course, haven’t you seen it normally?"

"No."

"That..." The man suddenly became speechless, giving Tang Ye a look as if he were looking at a monster, his expression full of disbelief. He now seemed to start doubting whether the man in front of him was just born, but although in a sense Tang Ye was indeed ’born’ yesterday.

"Have you seen those who died from violating the norm regulation? Have you seen them in the process of violation?"

"This... I haven’t seen it, but... but..." The man stammered for a while, unsure how to use any words to refute Tang Ye’s statement. Speaking of which, he really hadn’t seen anyone in the process of violating the norm regulation, and for a moment, his face became puzzled, looking a bit at a loss.

Tang Ye himself felt a bit disappointed; the man didn’t reveal much information, but at the same time, he also considered the possibility that nothing really happens when one violates the norm regulation.

The air was silent for a while, and then the man blankly asked Tang Ye: "Could it be, the rules in the norm regulation are all false?"

"I can’t guarantee that, I just wanted to see what would happen if I violated the norm regulation, and as you can see, I’m fine, nothing happened." Tang Ye pointed at himself and then pointed at the corridor illuminated as bright as day. Up to this moment, Tang Ye still hadn’t discovered anything strange.

"Look at those lights, I turned them on; actually, I’m quite puzzled too, what exactly would happen if we violate the norm regulation, aren’t you all curious at all?"
