Fade, who had been staring at the motel for some time, spoke up, "There's something not right about this motel, I think it's best if we don't stay here too." He didn't believe in the motel's so-called ghost stories, but he did feel weird positive energy emitting from the motel; it was a sort of uncomfortable feeling. All these wouldn't exist in a normal motel. From these clues, he deduced that there was something wrong with it. Thus, he advised them not to stay here.

However, Gorvyn was already on guard with Fade. When heard him, he sneered and immediately refuted, "What's not right? I think it's alright. Don't find excuses to hide the fact that you're a coward. If you're unwilling to stay, you can stay outside by yourself. Nobody is begging you to come stay with us."

Schultz smiled at him, "Brother, don't worry. Nothing will happen to you with me around."

Fade shook his head and said faintly, "I'm afraid you can't guarantee anything with your strength."

Just now, the positive energy he felt from the motel was stronger than Schultz's positive energy. If something really happened, they couldn't count on him.

Fade was just stating a fact but Schultz thought he was looking down on him. Instantly, his expression darkened and he spoke unpleasantly, "Since you're so smart, Mr. Chen, why are you afraid to stay at the motel?"

"Brat, who do you think you are? How dare you doubt Schultz? Gorvyn reprimanded him scornfully.

Heidey stepped up when she saw this and tried to ease up the tension, "Gorvyn, Schultz, Fade didn't mean that. Let's stop it here. It's getting late. Let's just stay for the night. We'll just go to sleep earlier." With that, Heidey tugged at Fade's sleeve and shook her head. She thought that he spoke up on her behalf.

He didn't explain anything but sighed and nodded.

Since these fellows didn't take his advice, he needn't say anymore. Even if there was something mysterious about the motel, it wasn't a threat to him.

Schultz and Gorvyn led the way inside.

"Boss, are you there? Gorvyn called out as he pushed the door open.

A few seconds later, a hunched old man walked out of a room shakily, "What do you want?"

Gorvyn looked at the old man and laughed, "What are you talking about? Of course, we're here to get rooms!"

"It's five hundred per night." The boss lifted five fingers and waved them at Gorvyn.

"Five hundred, alright, it's two thousand for four people." Gorvyn didn't care about small change like this and took out a stack of notes, about to pay.

However, suddenly, as if he thought of something, he took out five hundred yuan and looked at Fade, "Someone said that this place isn't clean and is unwilling to stay, so I think he can forget it."

Fade narrowed his eyes at this. He didn't speak but reached into his pocket. After all, small change like this didn't mean anything to him.

Heidey glared at Gorvyn when she saw this and said unhappily, "Gorvyn, stop this. Fade was speaking up for me. We're already inside and you're still..."

At this, Gorvyn put back the five hundred yuan into the stack of money, "Heidey, I was just joking. It's just five hundred yuan."

He handed the money to the boss, declaring, "Boss, we want four rooms."

The old man turned back into his room and brought out four keys. He passed them to Gorvyn and said, "Go to the second floor."

"Why not the first floor? Aren't there many empty rooms?" Although Heidey was puzzled, she didn't speak her thoughts.

Gorvyn didn't think that much. He took the keys and carried his luggage upstairs and the rest followed him.

Just as they were going upstairs, the hunchbacked old man called out to them, "That's right, a gentle reminder. Stay in your rooms at night and don't walk around." "Also, if you hear anything, don't come out. It has nothing to do with you."

Heidey's body stiffened at his words, feeling a chill run down her spine. She couldn't help but remember the creepy happenings that she read on the forum regarding the motel. Even Gorvyn's body trembled and his expression was weird. However, Schultz didn't think much of it and continued walking upstairs.

As for Fade, he didn't speak but turned around and narrowed his eyes at the hunchbacked old man.

He felt a weird positive energy coming from the old man.

Without saying anything, Fade went upstairs.

The four rooms were on opposite sides of the corridor. Fade's room was beside Heidey's and opposite Heidey's was Gorvyn's room. Schultz's room was opposite Fade's. They opened the doors and went inside. Although the motel was quite shabby, it was clean and there was hot water from the taps, exceeding their expectations.

It was getting late and they were exhausted. After exchanging some small talk, they went to their own rooms to freshen up and get some rest.

Fade washed his face but he didn't sleep. He sat on his bed and closed his eyes to meditate.

Gradually, it was late at night and the surroundings turned silent.

The strong night winds blew through the highlands, sounding like beasts howling.

The wind blew at Fade's window, making banging noises. Occasionally, wood shavings flew by the window, making weird shadows. It could have frightened any ordinary person. However, it didn't bother him in the slightest.

He continued his meditation and before long, it was midnight. The wind died down, becoming quiet outside, and the moon hid behind the clouds. Soon, the whole world was submerged in dark silence.

He got up to stretch his stiff legs. All was quiet. Suddenly, he heard a woman's blood curdling scream pierce through the night. It was especially ear-piercing through the silence.

"It's Heidey!" Fade's heart skipped a beat. He immediately rushed out and came to her room.

Heidey's door was shut tight and thumping noises could be heard from inside, mixed with her occasional screams. She sounded terrified.

"Heidey, are you okay!" Fade banged on her door.

However, the screams and banging continued and nobody answered him.

Fade immediately frowned and readied to force the door open.

At this moment, Schultz and Gorvyn also heard the commotion and rushed out anxiously, "What's going on?"

"I don't know. Heidey seems to have encountered something!" Fade pointed at her room before barging the door open.
