Gentle Sleep Instructor
Chapter 47 No One Has Ever Fooled Me
His expression was very strange, as if he was caught in some kind of doubt.
After a moment, he continued, "Just like the woman who died before."
The qipao woman.
They didn't find her missing chin at the scene either.
Zhou Taifu seemed to have thought of many bad things, shuddered violently, and said with trembling lips, "It's a ghost... a ghost took their chins!!"
This was obvious.
But saying it made the already eerie atmosphere even more oppressive.
Jiang Cheng was standing next to the corpse at the moment, frowning, as if thinking.
Yu Wen, who had finished surveying the scene and walked over, noticed him and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Cheng shrugged, as if he had just recovered from some kind of trance.
He stared at the corpse, and after a moment, said, "Look at his eyes."
Long Tao's eyeballs were almost popping out of their sockets.
His pupils were dilated, the corners of his eyes were twitching, and fine blood vessels were spreading in his eyes, filled with deep fear.
His gaze was exaggeratedly looking upwards.
His death was undoubtedly terrifying, but this time someone noticed something else.
Almost instantly, Yu Wen and Zhen Jianren seemed to realize something and suddenly looked up at the ceiling.
"Whoosh—"
The ceiling was empty.
The position where the light should have been was left with only tangled, messy wires.
And a mysterious pale yellow stain.
Her pupils gradually constricted, Yu Wen adjusted her breathing and slowly withdrew her gaze.
This scene was not unfamiliar...
That's right, just like the first woman who died!
Their last moment before death... their eyes were looking up.
As if there was something above their heads, some strange existence they could not understand or resist.
Less than 24 hours after arriving in this world, only 7 of the 9 people remained.
Two people had already died, in ways that everyone couldn't understand.
The scariest thing was that, until now, they had no clue.
Those strange hoof prints similar to those left by goats could not be called evidence.
The atmosphere was terrifyingly oppressive on the way back.
The fatty wanted to say something several times, but Jiang Cheng stopped him with his eyes.
Back in the room, the first thing the fatty did after closing the door was rush to Jiang Cheng's side. "Doctor," he said with lingering fear, "the ghost can kill people in broad daylight, it's too scary!"
Jiang Cheng sat on the bed and nodded. "It seems that the ghost in this mission is different from the one in the last mission. Their settings are also different."
The fatty licked his lips and subconsciously glanced at the ceiling. After not noticing anything unusual, he continued, "Do you think that ghost might have come out of the ceiling?"
Jiang Cheng stared at the direction of the door, as if he could see outside through the door. "I don't know, but at least the two people who died have sounded an alarm for us."
"The danger is likely to come from above."
After a few seconds, the fatty wrapped his clothes tightly around himself. He suppressed the fear in his heart and asked, "What are we going to do next?"
"Wait."
The fatty was stunned for a moment. "Wait for what?"
Turning to look at the fatty, Jiang Cheng's eyes hid something the latter couldn't understand.
After a while, he moved his lips: "Wait for the next person to die."
"What?!"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Cheng ignored him and just lay down on the prepared floor.
He tucked the quilt around his body, pulling it all the way up to his chin, then closed his eyes. "I'm tired, don't disturb me before 5 o'clock."
......
Room 406.
Long Tao was dead, and Zhang Yinyin replaced him.
This girl was determined not to go back to room 407.
She didn't ask to sleep in the bed, she just asked for a place to stay.
She curled up on the chair in the corner, shivering non-stop, not knowing if it was from fear or cold.
The legs of the chair hit the ground, making a "dudu dudu" sound.
Zhou Taifu completely occupied a bed, his eyes constantly looking around.
Especially at the door and the ceiling, he looked very nervous.
"Sister," as if extremely afraid, Zhang Yinyin's voice even had a strange tone. She looked at Yu Wen cautiously and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"
Yu Wen was holding a camera and watching the content she had filmed today.
Hearing this, she raised her head and replied indifferently, "I'm afraid."
"I thought you weren't afraid of those things since you're so calm," seemingly influenced by Yu Wen, Zhang Yinyin's emotions gradually stabilized, and she slowly stopped shivering.
There was light in her eyes, like hope after rebirth.
Yu Wen looked into Zhang Yinyin's eyes and suddenly smiled. "Little sister, ghosts are not as scary as you think. Although they represent the purest malice, they are traceable, unlike..."
Zhang Yinyin raised her head and asked suspiciously, "Unlike what?"
"Unlike some people, they are good at disguise and kill people invisibly."
Speaking of this, Yu Wen's eyes suddenly changed, as if falling directly from a warm spring day into the cold of winter.
She stared at Zhang Yinyin's face, and after a while, she continued, "So I'm more afraid of people than ghosts."
......
Room 405.
The man who called himself Luo Yi threw his baseball cap on the bed and paced back and forth in the room, appearing restless.
"Stop shaking," Zhen Jianren, sitting on the chair with his legs on the bed, rubbed the temples of his head. "I'm getting dizzy from your walking."
These words seemed to hit Luo Yi's sore spot. He stopped and said excitedly, "Haven't you noticed? This mission is becoming more and more abnormal. It's only the second day, and the ghost can already appear and kill people in broad daylight?"
"Indeed," Zhen Jianren nodded. "This is an unavoidable problem, it's cruel, but it's also very realistic."
"I don't want to hear you say that!"
Zhen Jianren sighed. "Okay, I know what you want. After this mission is over, I will help you with everything I promised."
"You can..." He smiled. "Return to life in the sunlight."
Hearing this, Luo Yi's expression improved a little. He stopped pacing, turned around, sat opposite Zhen Jianren, and took a breath. "Speak, you are a smart person, you should have seen something."
Zhen Jianren slowly loosened his neck with two fingers, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Compared to Luo Yi opposite him, he looked like he was on vacation.
"The thing is in Yu Wen's hands."
"Yu Wen..." This result was within Luo Yi's expectations.
After thinking about it, he still asked, "But how are you sure it's not those two guys from 404? I think they are also very suspicious."
Zhen Jianren took a sip of water and shook his head. "It can't be them. That guy named Hao Shuai is too high-profile. The person with the thing wouldn't be so stupid."
"Then couldn't it be that he's acting?" Luo Yi frowned, then asked, "I mean, he's doing it on purpose for us to see."
"Don't question my judgment," Zhen Jianren extended a finger, then the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a confident smile. "You should know me, no one can deceive me, never!"
He paused and suddenly noticed that Luo Yi opposite him was staring at himself with a strange look.
His lips were pursed, as if he wanted to say something, but it was inconvenient.
And at this moment, his face felt a burning pain.
He suddenly remembered something...
"That's a fool!" he said angrily. "A big fool!"
