Now both of them were in Room 1905, yet they could not see each other. There were several possible explanations.

Because if that was not the case, it meant that the hotel one of them was staying in was abnormal.
Leaving the room rashly before figuring out whose hotel was abnormal could lead to danger.
There were several clues. First, many things they had encountered in the two hotels were reversed. The staff Schiller had met in his hotel had been warm and professional, while the front desk clerk Peter encountered had been extremely impatient and exhausted.
