Chapter 1 Number 1 Building

Inside the lobby downstairs, everyone gathered, the atmosphere indescribably strange.

Hua Luo, sitting to one side, had her pretty brows furrowed, as if wanting to say something, but after thinking about it, she didn't.

Her two hands rested obediently on her knees. Fatty licked his lips and cautiously asked, "It's... gone?"

"What else do you want?" Wei JinTing's dissatisfied voice rang out, his arms crossed. "Would you only be happy if you heard the ghost killed me?"

Fatty's expression turned awkward for a moment, and he hurriedly explained, "Of course not, don't misunderstand."

After hearing Wei JinTing's experience last night, even the veteran players present couldn't help but darken their expressions.

Putting themselves in his shoes, it was simply too terrifying.

The ghost could actually cross over from the video and kill people in reality.

The matter of the female ghost naturally had to be clarified, but now, everyone was clearly more concerned about how Wei JinTing had survived.

Although so far, there was no precedent of anyone who encountered a ghost in their room being immediately killed, everyone still subconsciously felt that this was abnormal.

"Do you... have any strange feelings now?" Chu Jiu asked in a low voice. She was now obviously on friendly terms with Jiang Cheng and Fatty.

The two of them were on either side, Chu Jiu's small head squeezed in between.

Wei JinTing thought for a while, then suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Now that you mention it, there is something. I had a bit of a stomach ache when I woke up this morning."

Liu Guo seemed to have discovered a new continent and hurriedly asked, "What kind of pain? Be more specific."

"Just that kind of stomach ache. Later, I found two pills in the cabinet and took them, and it stopped hurting." Wei JinTing stroked his chin, and said solemnly, "It might be related to the spicy crayfish I ate yesterday."

If it was really the ghost acting, taking medicine would definitely be useless. It seemed that Wei JinTing was lucky and really saved his life.

Of course, it was also possible that he was being haunted by a ghost without realizing it.

Looking at the gazes directed at him, Wei JinTing defended himself, "I know what you're thinking, but I can tell you responsibly that I'm really fine." He paused, and said with great confidence, "I found a flaw in the ghost, that's why I wasn't killed."

"What flaw?"

Wei JinTing patted the backpack behind him and grinned, "The computer."

According to Wei JinTing's account, he was the one who attracted the ghost because he was looking for clues on the computer at night, and this computer, which belonged to the deceased Qiao Yu, gave everyone a feeling of ominousness.

"The perspective in the computer screen is the ghost's perspective, so I thought, what would happen if I pointed the computer screen at the ghost?"

"The result was as I expected, that ghost disappeared." Wei JinTing patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "It went back into the computer, and then I took the opportunity to smash the screen."

"Sure enough, nothing happened again at night, and I slept soundly until dawn."

"You could still sleep after that?" Fatty felt a chill down his back and looked Wei JinTing up and down, thinking that this guy's brain circuits were very strange.

Jiang Cheng didn't have so many random thoughts. He replayed the scene Wei JinTing described in his mind and felt that it was relatively reliable.

Once, when he was bored watching *The Ring* at midnight, he was thinking about a question: if two televisions were playing the same video at the same time, and Sadako was about to crawl out of the television, what would happen if the screens of the two televisions were placed face to face and pressed tightly together?

Wei JinTing gave him one possible answer.

"It seems that the female ghost in the video is the problem." Liu Guo said in a low voice. He was the oldest of the group and looked more mature.

"And that ring," Wan Yuanning interjected, "It should be the one the ghost left in Yu Lan's mouth."

The pattern on the inside of the ring also matched perfectly.

After another exchange, other than Wei JinTing's encounter with the ghost, everything was very calm for the others last night.

Everyone couldn't help but take a few more glances at this unlucky guy.

Finally, Liu Guo stood up and said, "It's getting late, everyone should continue to follow up on the clues they found earlier. We'll meet here again before dark."

He reminded, "Pay more attention to this mysterious woman. I think our previous guess was right, this is likely a crime of passion."

Walking along a pedestrian street, the surrounding flow of people was quite substantial, which slightly offset the unease in Fatty's heart.

Chu Jiu followed beside the two, her eyes full of determination, looking very energetic.

But Fatty couldn't bear to look at her too much, because he knew that a large part of this child's determination came from a lie.

A lie promised by the doctor.

He didn't know what her eyes would look like when the lie was exposed.

He hoped that the mission would be over by then.

At least he wouldn't see it.

Shaking his head, he began to get to the point, "Doctor," he looked at Jiang Cheng walking on the side of the street and asked, "Is that woman Wei JinTing mentioned real or fake?"

"It should be real." Jiang Cheng tilted his head to look at the corner of the street, as if he was looking for someone.

Fatty moved his stiff neck a few times. He hadn't rested well in the past two days. As soon as he closed his eyes, a ghost would crawl out and snap his neck.

These were all sequelae of offending the doctor.

"It seems that Wei JinTing's luck isn't bad." Fatty said with emotion, "He encountered ghosts twice, but didn't die either time."

Fatty remembered that on the first night, Xu Yi, Jiao Tailang, and Wei JinTing were the ones who encountered ghosts at the same time.

As soon as he finished speaking, Fatty regretted it. He looked at Chu Jiu beside him, worried that his words would evoke Chu Jiu's memories of Xu Yi.

But he obviously underestimated this girl. Chu Jiu said to Fatty with a firm gaze, "Thank you, you don't need to consider me. Saving Sister Xu Yi is important."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Jiu lowered her voice and continued along Fatty's words, "Actually, I think this Wei JinTing is quite unusual. Sister Xu Yi was captured after encountering a ghost only once, but he's encountered them twice and is still so active."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng stopped, first glanced at Chu Jiu, who was still frowning and analyzing, then turned to look at Fatty beside him.

After a long while, Jiang Cheng squinted his eyes, "Tsk."

His throat rolled involuntarily. From the doctor's eyes, Fatty could sense that he had failed to train a large account, and was preparing to start a loli account from scratch.

"Doctor," Fatty hurriedly interrupted, "Lolis aren't as good as you think. They're very tsundere, and I heard they bite when they're in a bad mood."

Hearing that they bite, Jiang Cheng's eyes lit up, seemingly even more interested.

"Where are we going?" Chu Jiu asked, raising her small face.

Jiang Cheng raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly, "Just wandering around."

"But... shouldn't we be looking for clues about that woman?" Chu Jiu asked in confusion.

He didn't know why, but she had a very good impression of this Jiang Cheng, who was usually very slovenly. She wasn't completely someone who judged by looks.
