Dudu…Dudu…

The phone was hung up directly.

It didn't seem like Lin Wan'er; it must be Yu Yu.

After all, she was young and didn't have experience dealing with this kind of thing.

Lin Wan'er tossed the phone to Jiang Cheng and continued driving, as if nothing had happened. Just then, the phone rang again.

It was an unfamiliar number.

Jiang Cheng was silent for a moment, but still chose to answer.

"Hello, where are you?" A man's voice came from the other end, clearly frightened. "I'm here, how come... how come I don't see you?"

It was Director Qi's voice.

"The hospital is so dark, is there a power outage? Strange, why didn't anyone notify me?" Not hearing Jiang Cheng's reply, Director Qi continued to mutter to himself.

"You went back to the hospital?" Jiang Cheng asked, lowering his voice.

"What are you talking about?" Director Qi's voice sounded even more dissatisfied than Jiang Cheng's. "Didn't you say things were settled? You wanted me to come back for acceptance."

"I'm warning you, don't think about playing tricks." Director Qi's attitude was full of warning. "Unless you completely eliminate that thing, I won't give you a single penny, and I'll go to the police station to sue you for extortion."

"Shut up!" Jiang Cheng said, "I'm asking you, did Huai Yi call you back?"

"Yes...yes, ah." Director Qi seemed to have noticed something was wrong, and asked, "What? You guys didn't know about this?"

Of course, we didn't know.

If we did, would we let you come to die?

Your death doesn't matter, but if the mission fails, we'll all die.

"Huh?"

Before Jiang Cheng could speak, he heard a strange sound from the other end, as if Director Qi had seen something.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Cheng asked quickly.

"The lights are on in the hospital," Director Qi explained.

"What location?"

"The 3rd floor... now it's the 2nd floor." Director Qi continued, "1st floor, the lights on the 1st floor are also on, it looks like someone is coming out, and the lights in the hospital lobby are also on."

A few seconds later, Director Qi squinted and finally saw the person walking out from the hospital entrance, "It's Huai Yi."

Crap…

"Did he find you?"

"Probably not, I'm behind a tree, some distance away from the hospital entrance. When I came, I felt the hospital was too dark, something didn't feel right, so I didn't go over, thinking I'd call you first."

Hearing that Director Qi hadn't been found yet, Jiang Cheng breathed a slight sigh of relief. Fortunately, this person wasn't completely stupid.

It seemed this ghost also had limitations. Perhaps it couldn't leave the hospital grounds for the time being.

There was still a chance…

"Now stay calm, listen to me." Jiang Cheng said in a formal tone, "None of us called you. The one who called you back to the hospital wasn't a person, it was a ghost."

"What?!"

"You can consider speaking louder, so the ghost can find you faster," Jiang Cheng said calmly.

Hearing this, Director Qi immediately wilted. "You're saying... Huai Yi standing at the hospital entrance now is a ghost?" His voice was trembling.

"That's right."

"She's still alive, you... you haven't solved her yet?"

"Don't use that tone with me. I might not be able to save you from the ghost's hands, but I have plenty of ways to let the ghost kill you." Jiang Cheng's voice was unusually cold.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, I'll listen to you." Director Qi said with a mournful face, "I want to live, I don't want to die. If you can save me, we can negotiate any price."

"We're almost at the hospital, no more than 20 minutes. You hide well, don't come out. I'll call you when I get there." Jiang Cheng reminded him, "Put your phone on silent, and don't answer any calls except mine."

"Understood."

Because it was on speaker, Lin Wan'er also heard Director Qi's words. It seemed that after the ghost got rid of Huai Yi, it disguised itself as him and tricked Director Qi here.

The time for the ritual had arrived, and now all that was missing was Director Qi, the final step.

"What happens if Director Qi is killed?" Lin Wan'er asked, "Will we die immediately?"

"I don't know." Jiang Cheng shook his head. "But I don't think it will be that simple."

"It seems the ghost doesn't have the ability to kill people over the phone," Lin Wan'er said after thinking, "Otherwise, there's no need to trick Director Qi over, so troublesome."

"Now call Huai Yi," Lin Wan'er instructed Jiang Cheng. "Try to stall for time, we're almost there."

"By the way." She turned her head to look at Jiang Cheng, "Are there any speed bumps in front of the hospital?"

Jiang Cheng's attention wasn't drawn to Lin Wan'er's question. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually... I don't think you can kill a ghost by hitting it."

"You've tried it?" Lin Wan'er seemed interested.

"No, this is my first time too."

"Really the first time?" Lin Wan'er glanced at Jiang Cheng inadvertently. The latter avoided her gaze and naturally lowered his head to fasten his seatbelt.

"I'm going to call Huai Yi." Jiang Cheng looked up and said, "You focus on driving."

The phone only rang twice before being hung up. This was indeed beyond Jiang Cheng's expectations. He had thought the ghost would use this opportunity to find out his current location.

"Ding."

Unexpectedly, a few seconds later, a text message came in.

"Are you trying to kill me? Don't call me, I'm trapped in the morgue. Wang Changguo is dead, he died a long time ago. I found his body in the freezer, the body is cold, the ghost disguised as him, we were all deceived by that ghost."

The text message was sent from Huai Yi's phone, and the tone was very similar.

Huai Yi was still alive, which was really beyond Jiang Cheng's expectations, but thinking about it carefully, it wasn't impossible. The ghost's primary goal was to complete the ritual.

The ritual's priority was higher than killing them.

This was also reflected in the fact that the ghost was currently looking for Director Qi, instead of Yu Yu and Cao Yang, who were closer and easier to hunt.

"The ghost isn't there with you." Jiang Cheng replied to the text message, "Now find a way to leave immediately, go near the hospital entrance."

"The ghost is there, it's disguised as you."

"The ghost is disguised as me, what is it doing near the hospital entrance?" Another text message came immediately, "Shouldn't it be looking for you, or directly looking for Director Qi?"

Huai Yi's thinking was very clear, and he also knew that Director Qi was the ghost's ultimate target.

"The ghost used your phone to invite Director Qi to the hospital to find him," Jiang Cheng replied.

A moment later…

"Damn it! Director Qi, he wouldn't really come, would he? Where is he?" Huai Yi was obviously agitated, after all, this was the key to whether everyone could survive.

If Director Qi died, this mission would fail.

And the consequences of failure… Huai Yi didn't know, because no one had ever talked about it. The people who experienced the consequences of failure had disappeared.

Jiang Cheng continued typing, "You can rest assured for now, I have already contacted Director Qi, and I intercepted him before he reached the hospital. I asked him to find a hotel nearby to hide, he is very safe now."
