  5:00 a.m. sharp.

  The Fatty walked ently patted Jiang g's shoulder, and said, "Doctor, wake up, it's time."

  Jiang g groggily opened his eyes and sat up.

  "Any news?" he asked while getting to his feet.

  "Someone from room 406 came by," the Fatty answered, "said they were looking for you."

  Jiang g's eyes suddenly sharpened as he turned his head. "Why didn’t you wake me up? And how could you...?"

  The Fatty already anticipated what Jiang g was about to say and hurriedly expined, "Don’t worry, doctor, I tested them first—they’re !"

  "Your test?"

  Jiang g felt his head throbbing and began to seriously wonder if all of the Fatty's skill points in life had been ied in his ary talents.

  "That's right." The Fatty replied fidently, "I had doubts about the guy outside too, so I made him bark like a dog three times to test him."

  After a pause, he tinued, "You know how vicious ghosts be, doctor, so I figured a ghost probably wouldn’t stoop so low as to do something like that."

  Jiang g was silent for a sed, then asked, "And?"

  The Fatty spread his hands. "He didn’t do it very vingly and seemed a bit unwilling."

  Taking a deep breath, Jiang g sidestepped the topic. "What did he say when he came?"

  "You misuood. I didn’t let him in." The Fatty suddenly adopted a serious expression as he leaned in closer and whispered, "I was worried he might be a shameless ghost."

  Jiang g stared sideways at him for a long while before finally letting out a dismissive "tsk."

  "Doctor," the Fatty gowards the door, a bit afraid, and asked, "You don’t think...that guy is really a ghost, do you?"

  Jiang g shook his head decisively. "No."

  The Fatty was dissatisfied with Jiang g's casual response and muttered, "You weren’t even there, how could you know?"

  "Fatty," Jiang g stepped forward, patted his shoulder, and reassured him, "If I were you, I'd start praying right now that the guy outside isn’t a ghost."

  "Don’t say that, doctor! You’re sg me." The Fatty swallowed hard and muttered under his breath.

  "Well," Jiang g pondered for a moment and then said seriously, "Fatty, don't worry. As long as I’m here..."

  The Fatty lifted his head, feeling hopeful.

  Jiang g tinued, "I’ll make sure to take care of your ashes."

  "…"

  Before it was fully dark, Jiang g opehe door and headed towards room 406.

  The corridor was eerily silent.

  The fading sunlight cast long shadows along the hallway, and the air was filled with the stale, musty st of decay, as if it were a fotten moment frozen in time.

  The Fatty followed closely behind him, step by step.

  When they passed room 405, Jiang g paused.

  The Fatty was visibly startled but trolled his void asked cautiously, "What’s wrong?"

  "Nothing," Jiang g quickly replied and tinued walking towards the door of room 406.

  Before he could knock, the door opened.

  A face wearing a baseball cap appeared in front of him.

  The brim ulled low, shadowing a pair of eyes that were hard to read.

  It was Luo Yi from room 405.

  Turning his gaze into the room, Jiang g saw that everyone was there, breathing. Yu Wen looked over at him and said, "We’ve been waiting for you."

  She sat on the edge of the bed, her posture as straight as a spear.

  Zhen Jianren was lounging zily on a chair. When he saw Jiang g, a trace of rese flickered across his face, but he didn’t say anything.

  "Miss Yu," Jiang g looked at Yu Wen and said calmly, "I heard you wao see me."

  "I sent him to get you earlier, but your panion didn’t let him in," Yu Wen said, gng at Zhou Taifu, who was huddled on the bed, making her meaning clear.

  Uedly, this brief exge got the Fatty excited. His eyes lit up as he stared at Zhou Taifu and excimed, "Bro, was it really you who barked like a dog? That’s awesome!"

  Zhou Taifu’s fastantly darkened. In real life, he erson of some status and had never beeed like this.

  However, he was well aware of his current predit.

  So, aside from looking displeased, he didn’t say anything too harsh.

  "Alright," Yu Wen interrupted the Fatty’s excitement, her eyes returning to Jiang g, fog on the bck camera bag slung over his shoulder. "Let me see the camera."

  Jiang g took off the camera and ha over. "I’ve already checked it. There’s nothing strange."

  Yu Wen took the camera and began examining it carefully.

  Zhen Jianren exged a gh Luo Yi, then walked over to Yu Wen’s side, the footage the camera had recorded.

  Luo Yi, oher hand, turned his head slightly, his gaze resting subtly on Jiang g.

  At the same time, Jiang g picked up another camera from room 406 and began watg the footage.

  It was the oo them by the old man in the equipment room.

  The Fatty crowded in behind Jiang g.

  His eyes squinted slightly.

  This way, if something scary suddenly appeared in the video, he could quickly shut his eyes.

  There were only four short videos.

  Si was just a rehearsal, many steps had been simplified.

  As a result, all the videos bined were only a little over 20 minutes long.

  After watg the footage, Yu We down the camera, her expression gradually beiral.

  Just as Jiang g had said, there were no valuable clues.

  The only differeweewo cameras was their angles; otherwise, they were nearly identical.

  Could their inal reasoning have been wrong?

  She began to doubt her own hypothesis.

  But based on her experiehese NPC-given cameras should tain important clues. Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense.

  She even suspected that Long Tao’s death was reted to the rec of this footage.

  After all, in the previous missions, there had never been a case where a ghost showed up to kill someone during the day.

  This was extremely unusual.

  Uo e to a clusion, she took a deep breath and instinctively g Jiang g. To her surprise, not only was he still watg the video, but his expression had also bee unusually strange.

  In her memory, she had never seen that look on his face before.

  "Mr. Hao," Yu Wen suddenly spoke up.

  Jiang g ignored her, still staring at the camera s, occasionally pressing a few buttons.

  Thanks to Yu Wen’s reminder, everyoiced Jiang g’s odd behavior.

  They gathered around him and saw that he was repeatedly repying, rewinding, and pying the footage again.

  Zhou Taifu, startled by Jiang g’s as, couldn’t help but ask, "Wh-what are you doing?"

  But Jiang g didn’t respond. He lifted his head and locked eyes with Yu Wen. "Hoeople were in the first group of the chorus?"

  Almost instinctively, Yu Wen rewound the footage and answered a moment ter, "Sixteen."

  "The sed group?"

  "Fifteen."

  "And the third?"

  "Seventeen."

  At this point, Jiang g slowly raised the camera in his hand, which aused on a moment where all three groups were standing together on the choir ptform, perf.

  Yu Wen stared at the s. All she could see were ly dressed girls with long, dark hair.

  The sed, her pupils shrank sharply as if she had realized something.

  There were 49 girls on stage.
