  --------

  "His is missing too," Luo Yi said.

  His expression was strange, as if he uzzled by something.

  After a moment, he tinued, "Just like that woman who died earlier."

  It was the woman in the qipao.

  At that time, her missing was not found at the se either.

  Zhou Taifu seemed to have thought of something terrible. He shivered violently and, trembling, said, "It's a ghost... a ghost took their s!"

  It was obvious.

  But saying it out loud only made the eerie atmosphere even more oppressive.

  Jiang g stood o the corpse, frowning, deep in thought.

  After iigating the se, Yu Wen walked over and noticed him. She asked, "What are you thinking?"

  Jiang g's shoulders twitched, as if he had just snapped out of a trance.

  He stared at the corpse for a moment before saying, "Look at his eyes."

  Long Tao's eyes were bulging out of their sockets.

  His pupils were dited, the ers of his eyes twitg, and tiny blood vessels filled his eyes, overflowing with fear.

  His gaze was fixed upwards.

  His death was undoubtedly terrifying, but this time, someoiced something else.

  Almost instantly, both Yu Wen and Zhen Jianren seemed to realize something. They suddenly tilted their heads up, looking toward the ceiling.

  "Whoosh—"

  The ceiling was empty.

  Where the light should have been, there was only a tangled mess of disordered wires.

  And mysterious pale yellow stains.

  Yu Wen's pupils slowly tracted. She adjusted her breathing and gradually lowered her gaze.

  This se wasn't unfamiliar.

  Yes, it was just like the first woman who died!

  In their st moments, they had all looked upwards.

  It was as if there was something above their heads—an inprehensible, unstoppable, eerie presence.

  Less than 24 hours into this world, and out of 9 people, only 7 remained.

  Two had already died, in ways the group could not uand.

  The most terrifying part was that even now, they had no leads.

  Those peculiar hoofprints resembling a goat's were hardly sidered evidence.

  The walk back pressively tense.

  The Fatty wao speak several times, but Jiang g stopped him each time with a look.

  Ohey returo the room, the first thing the Fatty did after closing the door was rush over to Jiang g, still shaken. "A ghost kill people in broad daylight; that's terrifying!"

  Jiang g sat on the bed and nodded. "It seems that the ghost in this mission is different from the one i. Its rules are different too."

  The Fatty licked his lips, instinctively g the ceiling, and after seeing nothing abnormal, tinued, "Do you think the ghost es from the ceiling?"

  Jiang g stared at the door, as if he could see through it. "I don't know, but at least the two who died have souhe arm for us."

  "The danger is likely ing from above."

  A few seds ter, the Fatty ed his coat tighter around himself, suppressing his fear as he asked, "So what do we do now?"

  "We wait."

  The Fatty was stunned. "Wait for what?"

  Jiang g turo look at him, his eyes holding something the Fatty couldn't uand.

  After a while, he moved his lips and said, "Wait for the person to die."

  "What?!"

  Jiang g ignored him, y down on the bedding, and pulled the b up to his before closing his eyes. "I'm tired. Don't disturb me before 5 o'clock."

  Room 406.

  Long Tao was dead, and his pce was taken by Zhang Yinyin.

  The girl was determined not to go back to Room 407.

  She didn’t ask to sleep in a bed, only that she had a pce to rest.

  She curled up on a chair in the er, trembling, whether from fear or cold.

  The legs of the chair made a soft "thud-thud-thud" sound as they tapped the floor.

  Zhou Taifu hogged aire bed, nervously gng around the room.

  He kept looking especially at the door and the ceiling.

  "Sis," Zhang Yinyin’s voice carried a straremble, and she carefully watched Yu Wen. "Aren’t you scared?"

  Yu Wen, holding a camera, was reviewing the day's footage.

  Hearing this, she lifted her head and calmly replied, "Yes, I am."

  "I thought you weren't scared since you're so calm," Zhang Yinyin said, seeming to gain some posure from Yu Wen. Her shaking slowly subsided.

  There ark of hope in her eyes, like she had been reborn.

  Yu Wen looked at Zhang Yinyin’s eyes and suddenly smiled. "Little girl, ghosts aren't as scary as you think. Though they embody pure malice, they follow patterns. Unlike…"

  Zhang Yinyin looked up in fusion. "Unlike what?"

  "Unlike some people, who are masters of deception, killing without a trace."

  At that moment, Yu Wen’s gaze shifted. It was as though the warmth of spring had plunged into the dead of winter.

  She stared at Zhang Yinyin's face for a long time before tinuing, "So, I fear people more than I fear ghosts."

  Room 405.

  The man who called himself Luo Yi threw his baseball cap onto the bed and paced around the room, visibly anxious.

  "Stop pag," Zhen Jianren said from the chair, rubbing his temples. "You're making my head spin."

  This ent seemed to hit a sore spot with Luo Yi. He stopped in his tracks, his expression agitated. "Haven’t you noticed? This mission is being increasingly abnormal. It's only the sed day, and the ghost already appear and kill in broad daylight?"

  "True," Zhen Jianren nodded. "It's a grim and unavoidable reality."

  "I don't want to hear that from you!"

  Zhen Jianren sighed, "Fine, I know what you want. Ohis mission is over, I'll make sure what I promised you gets done."

  "You ," he smiled, "return to living uhe sun."

  Hearing this, Luo Yi's expression softened a bit. He stopped pag and sat across from Zhen Jiaaking a deep breath. "Alright, you're smart. What have you figured out?"

  Zhen Jiaretched his neck with two fingers, eyes half-closed.

  pared to Luo Yi, he seemed to be on vacation.

  "The thing is with Yu Wen."

  "Yu Wen, huh..." Luo Yi wasn't surprised by the clusion.

  After thinking for a moment, he asked, "But how are you so sure it’s not those two in Room 404? They seem suspicious too."

  Zhen Jianren sipped his water and shook his head. "It’s not them. That guy, Hao Shuai, is too fshy. The one who has the item wouldn't be so foolish."
