Chapter 63 Haunted Hotel

It was almost two o'clock in the morning when the plane they promised to take arrived at their destination, Oklahoma City.At this time, Xu Nuo was already terribly sleepy, and he just wanted to go to the hotel as soon as possible and have a good sleep—he hadn't experienced the experience of not falling asleep until two o'clock in the morning!When they came to the hotel where the team was staying, Xu Nuo saw the name of the hotel written above the entrance of the hotel: Scoven Hilton Hotel.

"Hilton Hotel?" Xu Nuo felt a little funny, "Didn't I come to Shanghai?"

"It's nothing funny." David West, who was walking beside Xu Nuo, said to Xu Nuo with a serious face.

"What's wrong?" Xu Nuo saw David West's unnatural expression, and the other players on the team also looked very disturbed.

"I've been praying that the team won't let us stay in this hotel, but we're still here." Team center Roy Hibbert said, even with a sense of fear in his words.

"What's wrong with this hotel?" Xu Nuo asked in surprise.

"You don't know yet, do you?" Xu Nuo's agent, Bill Duffy, said to Xu Nuo beside Xu Nuo, "There have always been rumors that this hotel is haunted."

"Haunted?" Xu Nuo was taken aback after hearing this, and felt his head swell with a "buzz".

"It can't be true, can it?" Xu Nuo said in surprise.

"At least in the rumors is the case." David West said.

"If that's the case, then why does the team want us to stay in this hotel?" Xu Nuo said, feeling a little scared in his heart.

"First, the hotel has good facilities. Second, this hotel is also very close to the Ford Center, home stadium of the Thunder." Bill Duffy said.

"But, why is this hotel haunted?" Xu Nuo asked.

"Oh, this goes back to the 30s." Bill Duffy said, "You know, this hotel was built in 1910, and the builder's name was WB Scowen. At the beginning The hotel only has 10 floors and 224 rooms, but due to the booming business of the hotel, in 1930, the hotel was expanded again to 14 floors and 525 rooms.”

"But what does this have to do with the hotel being haunted?" Xu Nuo asked.

"Listen to me," Bill Duffy said. "Just after the hotel was expanded, there was a scandal in the hotel. The hotel owner, who was in his seventies, had an affair with a maid in the hotel. As a result, the maid was pregnant with the child of the boss, Scowen. The so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, so the boss, Scowen, locked the maid in a room in the hotel. The maid told Tian Tian not to, The ground was not working well, so she was so angry that she jumped off the building and committed suicide holding her own and the boss's child, Scowen."

"There are such things!" Xu Nuo said, his eyes widened.

"Yes," continued David West, who was beside him, "the hotel has been shrouded in a strange shadow since then. Some people say that the ghost of the maid still haunts the hotel. .So the hotel was forced to close in 1988, but in 2003, the hotel reopened with a new decoration. But people said that the ghost of the maid has not left and is still in this hotel. Some people say that they can often hear Children's cries, and some people said that they had seen the ghost of the maid standing in front of the window from which they jumped off the building. More exaggerated people said that when they woke up early in the morning, they found a woman sleeping next to them! "

"My God!" Xu Nuo said.

"It's not funny at all," David West said, "but when NBA teams play away games in Oklahoma City, they generally choose to stay at this hotel."

"Because of this, many NBA players say they have seen ghosts." Bill Duffy said.

"Oh?" Xu Nuo raised his eyebrows. When he heard that an NBA player had seen a ghost, he immediately became interested.

"I remember once the New York Knicks came here for an away game, and Jared Jeffries and Eddie Curry, who were still in the Knicks at the time, said they heard ghosts in this hotel." Bill Dar Fee said to Promise, "Jeffries said the hotel was horrible, and Eddie Curry stayed in Nate Robinson's room almost all night!"

"Hahaha..." Xu Nuo laughed out loud. For some reason, his laughter was so creepy in the hotel that David West immediately asked Xu Nuo to stop laughing.

"It's funny, though," Bill Duffy continued, "I heard that the Los Angeles Lakers players weren't bothered by the ghost story, and Kobe Bryant even said, 'I believe there's a ghost here, you know? ?I had a great chat with Elvis Presley last night'."

"The Los Angeles Lakers are a team with aristocratic background, and there are people like Kobe who have super self-confidence. Of course, they are not afraid of these." Xu Nuo said.

"Are you afraid?" David West asked promised.

"Me?" Xu Nuo said, "I don't know either."

"It's okay, go to sleep." Bill Duffy said with a smile.

Although Bill Duffy said so, when it was time to go to bed, Xu Nuo couldn't fall asleep.Xu Nuo didn't know if it was because the hotel was haunted, but Xu Nuo really had a hard time falling asleep again.Several times he heard the sound of doors opening and closing in the corridor. When Xu Nuo listened carefully, he realized that the sound was made by his teammates.

However, just as Xu promised to turn on the light to see what time it was in the morning, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Xu Nuo suddenly felt his head "buzz", his whole body seemed to be frozen, he couldn't move, cold sweat flowed out, Xu Nuo even heard his heart beating in his chest sound.

"Who is it?" Xu Nuo asked loudly, trying his best to make his voice sound normal.

"It's me, Bill, Bill Duffy." Bill Duffy's deep voice came from outside the door.

Xu Nuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly got out of bed and ran to open the door, constantly wondering what Bill Duffy was doing knocking on the door now.

When Xu Nuo opened the door, he did see Bill Duffy standing outside the door in his pajamas.

"What are you doing here at this time?" Xu Nuo said, "If you say you also want to sleep in my room for one night, I don't want to agree with you."

"I never would have done that," Bill Duffy said with a smile. "You're still awake, so I'm here to bring you a tranquilizer."

"Tranquillity?" Xu Nuo frowned, and suddenly he looked at Bill Duffy and took a big step back with fear on his face.

"You you you you you you..." Xu Nuo was almost speechless because of his nervousness, "How do you know that I haven't fallen asleep...You you you you you you can't be transformed from that maid Bar!"

Bill Duffy almost laughed out loud when he heard that, "So you're scared too," Bill Duffy said with a smile, "It seems that I'm here to deliver the tranquilizers. Why are you looking at me so horribly?" , I'm not a ghost."

Xu Nuo managed to calm himself down and took the tranquilizer from Bill Duffy. Bill Duffy said "good night" to Xu Nuo and walked away.Xu Nuo locked the door, took the tranquilizer after returning to bed, and fell asleep after a while.

The next day, when Xu Nuo saw his teammates in the restaurant of the hotel, he found that most of them were yawning, and all of them had dark circles under their eyes like giant pandas.

"Hey, David, didn't you sleep well last night?" Xu Nuo asked David West.

"Yes!" David West yawned, too sleepy to eat breakfast.

"I haven't slept nearly all night," said Dengtay Jones, also yawning. "What do you promise?"

"Bill Duffy sent me a piece of tranquility at night, and then I fell asleep without hearing anything." Xu Nuo said with a smile.

"To tell you the truth, I didn't hear anything," said Dengtai Jones, "but I just can't sleep!"

"It's probably a mental effect." David West said, then pushed the plate on the table in front of him and leaned against the back of the dining room chair.

"We've got another night to stay here," said Duntay Jones, "what a pity!"

"It doesn't matter," Xu Nuo said, "You can think about tomorrow's game, and think that we can go back to Indianapolis after the game, so at least we still have something to look forward to."

Duntai Jones nodded. "That's right," he said.

When the Indiana Pacers were training today, Xu Nuo found that many people were out of shape, including David West and Deng Tai Jones, but Danny Granger didn't seem to be affected.When Xu Nuo asked Danny Granger about it, Danny Granger just smiled and didn't say anything.Their head coach, Coach Larry Brown, made a fuss about the players who were out of shape. Xu Nuo didn't see that Coach Larry Brown was affected by that ghost story.Xu Nuo thinks about it too, for an old man like Coach Larry Brown who has seen all kinds of things in the world, no matter what happens in that hotel, it will not affect him.

That night, he promised not to wait for Bill Duffy to give him diazepam in the middle of the night, and asked the team doctor Saunders Conkel for one.Xu Nuo slept well that night and heard nothing.
