They had already adjusted their phone time to coincide with the time of this world, but now, the time display on their phones had disappeared, as if erased by some unseen force.

Without a doubt, it was the doing of the Many-Headed Ghost.

But at this moment, Jiang Cheng looked at Huai Yi and asked, "What did you mean just now when you said it wanted the doors within us?"

Hearing this, Huai Yi retracted his gaze and stared at Jiang Cheng with a strange look. "You don't know?"

"If I knew, would I be asking you?"

"You dare to take on jobs without even knowing that?" Huai Yi said in surprise. "Brother Jiang, no offense, but I think you've been set up."

He hadn't noticed it before, but this Huai Yi was quite the chatterbox.

But it could also be due to nervousness; some people tend to talk nonsense to relieve pressure when they're overly stressed.

After speaking, Huai Yi exhaled and his gaze towards the window turned fierce. "Damn it, never mind you, I've been set up too." He said viciously, "When I came, all I knew was that there was a problem with a door. The guild determined that a disciple's mental state was compromised, possibly on the verge of being corrupted."

"You know, the mental states of people like us aren't very good anyway. After all, we bear curses, and we don't know when the things behind the door will take everything from us."

"I initially thought the same, that some disciple on the verge of madness was causing trouble."

"But who knew that the door within Xiang Nan had been completely corrupted, and the curse had erupted. This is beyond what we can handle. It's devoured countless guys like us."

"It's now a mobile curse."

"It's doing this on purpose, trying to lure people like us in, and then devour our doors." Huai Yi's eyes were filled with fear. "This is a trap it set for us!"

"It... is hunting us!"

Based on his previous speculation about doors and the information he obtained from the middle-aged man, it wasn't difficult for Jiang Cheng to understand Huai Yi's words.

But he was more interested in the guild he mentioned.

What kind of organization was that?

It sounded like it had the backing of the government.

"What's this guild you're talking about?" Jiang Cheng wouldn't miss this opportunity; it seemed Huai Yi knew quite a bit.

Hearing this, Huai Yi was stunned. "You don't even know about the guild? Then you're taking on... private jobs?"

Suddenly, Huai Yi seemed to realize something terrifying and looked at Jiang Cheng with a changed expression. "You... you're not a Crimson, are you?"

Considering the entity behind Jiang Cheng's door, Huai Yi felt that this guess was highly likely.

"My life can't be this miserable, can it!" Huai Yi thought to himself, his pupils trembling. "I finally took on a job, only to be set up by the guild and then run into these life-reaping Crimson ghosts."

"Big Brother Crimson!" Huai Yi's knees went weak, and if there was more space, he would have knelt down. "Please, don't hold my petty offenses against me, spare me. I don't want any of the reward for this job, I'll give it all to you."

"I'll listen to everything you say, you... don't kill me." Huai Yi's eyes were already red as he spoke. "I have an 8-year-old mother above me and 80-year-old children below me who are waiting to be fed. Most importantly, I just hired several young ladies, both loli and mature women. My seaside villa has only been renovated for a few days, I haven't lived enough, I don't want to die yet."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng's gaze sharpened, and he looked at Huai Yi differently. "You actually saw through me." Jiang Cheng said coldly.

"But you're lucky, I don't want to kill anyone today." Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes, raised his eyebrows and said, "Is the villa you mentioned real? Does it have mature and loli ladies living in it?"

"Of course, it's real."

"I'll help you take care of them in the future." Jiang Cheng said righteously, "Our world isn't safe anymore, you wouldn't want them to be in danger all the time, would you?"

"Alright, it's settled then, I'm going out now." Jiang Cheng said, "Stick close to me."

He still needed Huai Yi to give him more information about the doors, so naturally he didn't want him to die.

"Go out now?" Huai Yi felt a chill down his spine after hearing that. "Isn't that too impulsive? That ghost might not have left yet, it could be hiding somewhere waiting to ambush us."

"It might also be looking for Director Qi to swallow his head and complete the final step of the ritual." Jiang Cheng glanced at him and said, "If that's the case, you can just wait to die."

After hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Huai Yi's expression was uncertain. He naturally knew that what Jiang Cheng said made sense, but leaving meant facing the Many-Headed Ghost directly.

To be honest, he shuddered whenever he thought of the Many-Headed Ghost's shoulders covered in heads.

According to the information he had received, at least two people had disappeared while investigating this case.

If it weren't for the guild's guarantee, and the fact that he had just renovated his seaside villa and the ladies were nagging him to buy bags, he wouldn't have come here to try his luck.

Now it seemed that those two people must have been eaten by the Many-Headed Ghost as well.

He was referring to the doors within them.

However... Huai Yi secretly glanced at Jiang Cheng, he might not have a choice, but that didn't mean Jiang Cheng didn't either. After all, being from Crimson, if he didn't have some tricks up his sleeve, he would have been taken care of by the Night Watchmen long ago.

"Big Brother Crimson." Huai Yi stood up and said obediently, "I'll listen to whatever you say."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng turned his head and sized Huai Yi up and down with a suspicious look. "I want the young ladies by your side, not you, show me some respect!"

"Okay."

Slowly opening the door a crack, Jiang Cheng looked left and right. Other than the flickering lights, everything else seemed normal in the hallway.

Walking on the stairs in the stairwell, Huai Yi asked softly, "Where are we going?"

"624." Jiang Cheng replied casually.

Yu Yu had said before that Zhao Ru's body was left there, only the head was missing. Jiang Cheng guessed that the ward was of great significance to the Many-Headed Ghost.

Director Qi might also be hidden there.

It was quiet all the way, but a huge crisis was lurking in this silence, and a strange atmosphere surrounded the two of them.

Huai Yi carefully observed every door on both sides of the corridor, as if the door would be opened at any moment, and the Many-Headed Ghost would rush out from inside.

"Hmm?" Jiang Cheng, who was walking in front, paused.

They had already arrived on the 6th floor, and after turning the corner, they were at the corridor leading to ward 624. At this moment, a touch of bright red color was very glaring in the depths of the deep corridor.

There was blood on the ground.

The door to ward 624 was ajar, and the blood was concentrated near the door, seeming to spread out from the crack in the door, gathering into a small pool in front of the door.

There were fresh scratch marks on the wooden door frame, and Jiang Cheng even found a piece of broken fingernail near the scratch marks.

The fingernail was crookedly embedded in the door frame, and one side had already broken off. One could imagine the miserable state of that person struggling for survival when they were dragged into ward 624 by the ghost.
