Chapter 284: Targeted...
After Amir fell asleep.
A figure appeared outside his room 4212.
This figure took a room card out of his pocket.
He pressed the room card against the sensor area.
But there was no reaction.
It seemed Amir had deadbolted his hotel room door before falling asleep.
That's why the spare room card couldn't open it.
Actually, even if it had opened, this figure would have faced two more problems.
First, besides deadbolting, Amir had also engaged the security chain.
Second, he had piled up a bunch of things against the door. At this very moment.
This person's every move was being watched with crystal clarity by viewers in the Neighbors Over Distant Relatives live stream room.
The Hua Country viewers in the live stream room.
Watched this scene with a sense of profound familiarity.
Because wasn't this scene remarkably similar to when Huang Kaiyu entered Jiang Ran's home during Round 28?
Right now, it was like watching a reenactment, just with different actors and location.
Given this similarity, the only question was how the final outcome would turn out!
After all, Jiang Ran had successfully survived and nearly turned the tables - now it was up to this Amir!
Meanwhile, the A San Country viewers in the live stream room seemed quite confident in Amir.
A San—Whoever Mentions Lizards Again, I'll Get Angry:
【Heh, this person trying to get into Amir's room is just wishful thinking! Amir is a master of the survival strategy! In our A San Country's Alice Apartment, he easily survived 4 rounds as a true expert! Let me see, wow! As expected of Amir, not only did he secure the door perfectly, he even deadbolted the balcony! Invincible!】
This hotel room had only two entry points.
The first was the door. The second was the balcony.
The balcony was an open-air balcony, with two large glass sliding doors separating it from the room.
And these two large glass sliding doors were also deadbolted.
One could say Amir appeared quite safe.
But was he truly safe?
Watching A San—Whoever Mentions Lizards Again, I'll Get Angry in the live stream.
Many viewers from other countries remained silent.
Just quietly waiting for events to unfold.
Of course, there were inevitably some who couldn't resist replying to him.
Big Bear Country—Zero: 【The survival strategy? We had lab rats in Big Bear Country's Alice Apartment who tried that strategy too, though some lasted long while others didn't fare well. Currently, we have someone in Big Bear Country who's survived dozens of rounds using that approach...】
Yes, survival strategy execution varied in quality.
Surviving 4 rounds seemed decent, but only seemed that way.
Back in the hotel.
When the figure found the door wouldn't open and he couldn't enter that way, he changed locations.
Amir was staying in 4212.
The figure took out a room card and entered 4312, which was directly above Amir's hotel room.
This room was unoccupied, and it was unclear how the figure obtained this room's key card, but he entered anyway.
The figure had been carrying a black backpack all along.
After entering, he took out a safety harness from the backpack, secured it in 4312, fastened it to himself, then descended from the 4312 balcony, easily reaching the 4212 balcony.
Once on the balcony, he moved quietly toward the two large glass sliding doors.
He tried them but couldn't open them - they were likely deadbolted from inside.
Finding he couldn't enter from here either, the figure stood there, seemingly contemplating something.
Amir, having been through A San Country's Alice Apartment.
Had developed a habit: waking at the slightest disturbance.
Plus, this was his first time at Macedonia Island, at this hotel.
The bed and pillow weren't very comfortable, so he woke when he turned over.
And, as luck would have it, the side he turned toward happened to face the balcony.
Because of this, when Amir opened his eyes, he immediately saw the figure on the balcony, startling him so much he sat bolt upright.
After sitting up, Amir's face showed tension and wariness.
He took several deep breaths to calm his nerves.
Realizing the other person couldn't enter his room.
He relaxed slightly.
Then.
He began examining the person before him.
The person before him was a white man, though his specific nationality was unclear.
This man was tall, about 185cm, looking strong, powerful, and agile.
He appeared to be around 40 years old.
With short blond hair that looked very capable.
Amir had discovered the intruder, and naturally the intruder had noticed Amir waking up.
Normally, people doing bad things would feel some panic when discovered.
But this 40-year-old white man.
Showed no panic whatsoever after being discovered by Amir.
Instead, he approached one of the two glass doors.
Then, his face came very close to the glass, maintaining a tiny distance without actually touching it.
After that, his eyes stared fixedly at Amir through the glass.
Being stared at like this by the man made Amir nervously swallow.
Because the room was so quiet, the sound of him swallowing seemed particularly loud.
To be honest, he had encountered several deranged criminals in A San Country's Alice Apartment.
Some of those deranged criminals had wanted to target him.
Before making their move, some had given him terrifying smiles, others had made throat-slitting gestures.
But today was his first time encountering someone who just stood outside the glass, staring fixedly at him.
With no particular expression on his face.
"Wait, this gaze?!"
Amir suddenly remembered something from his memory.
He had previously watched wildlife documentaries on television and his phone.
The way this white man was staring at him gave him the same feeling.
As those of tigers or lions staring at their prey before hunting.
Sharp, cold, focused.
Amir felt like he couldn't move his entire body!
He was frozen in place by the oppressive feeling from the white man's gaze - that of a top predator, beast-like in intensity!
Fortunately, after just two minutes.
The white man turned and left, climbing back up the safety rope, disappearing from Amir's view.
"Huff... huff..."
After the white man left, Amir collapsed onto the bed as if granted a pardon, breathing frantically.
Just from that brief encounter, without anything even happening, he felt completely drained.
Touching his forehead, he discovered it was covered in sweat.
His right palm was completely drenched!!!
"Has that person targeted me?"
Amir began to feel fear.
That person was definitely not some ordinary thief or similar.
He was absolutely that kind of person!!!
So, what should he do now?
"Right, right, change rooms! I need to change rooms!"
Amir hurriedly used the hotel landline in his room to call the front desk.
He requested a room change.
The front desk approved it quickly.
Saying it would be ready in half an hour and they'd call to notify him.
