"Don't smash it." Jiang Cheng said.

But the fatty seemed not to hear, gritting his teeth, his arm muscles bulging as he hammered wildly.

From behind, Huai Yi was surprised to find that the fatty wasn't just fat, he was actually quite strong.

Noticing the fatty's abnormality, Jiang Cheng went up and snatched the hammer from his hand. Only then did the fatty calm down. "You're not in the right state," Jiang Cheng said, frowning as he looked at him. "Calm down, I'm here, it'll be okay."

Miao Qing wasn't interested in the fatty's state. He felt the wall with his hand. After smashing for so long, there wasn't even a mark left on it. He couldn't help but say with some regret, "It seems the method is wrong. We've only confirmed the location of the room. We need a special way to open it."

The sky outside was completely dark. If they continued to waste time, who knew what would happen. After discussing, they decided to leave it at that for the night. The group went back to choose their rooms to rest.

Then everyone thought of Ouyang Huanbin. The group went downstairs and carried him to the second floor, placing him in the corridor.

Everyone began to push open doors. This time, no one deliberately concealed the time inside their room. After all, everyone knew that whoever opened the door with the earliest time would have someone take their place.

Bai Xiaojie was a little unlucky. Her time was the earliest, followed by Miao Qing, Huai Yi, Jiang Cheng, and finally, the lucky fatty again.

Bai Xiaojie and Miao Qing's gazes towards the fatty changed. They seemed to suspect that he had cheated by some means, but because Jiang Cheng and the others had the numbers and were ruthless, they didn't dare to say it openly.

"What are you looking at?" Huai Yi was unhappy with Miao Qing's gaze and questioned him impolitely.

"No, nothing," Miao Qing said, averting his gaze.

With everyone's help, Ouyang Huanbin, who was tied up like a zongzi (rice dumpling), stretched out his hand and pushed open a door as well. Miao Qing saw the time inside, between Jiang Cheng and the fatty.

"Brother Ouyang Huanbin is so badly injured, I'm afraid he won't survive tonight," Miao Qing said, sighing affectedly. "I think if he were still conscious, he would want to help us get through tonight safely."

Miao Qing turned his head to look at Bai Xiaojie and said earnestly, "Xiaojie, you must always remember this little brother Ouyang Huanbin. Without his selfless sacrifice, you would be in danger."

"Yes, I understand," Bai Xiaojie replied.

"Come," Miao Qing beckoned her over, his attitude sincere and earnest. "Bow to this little brother. His departure has created a new life for you. You must carry his hopes and live well, don't let him down..."

"It's getting late," Jiang Cheng said, taking out his phone and waving it at Miao Qing.

Miao Qing's expression turned awkward, but he quickly returned to normal. Without Jiang Cheng and the others' help, he and Bai Xiaojie, one in front and one behind, pushed Ouyang Huanbin, along with his stretcher, into the room that originally belonged to Bai Xiaojie, then quickly closed the door, as if worried he would run out.

Jiang Cheng and the others returned to their rooms. Miao Qing stopped Bai Xiaojie and said, "I'll go to your room, you go to Ouyang Huanbin's room."

"Okay," Bai Xiaojie agreed. Now that they had a scapegoat, it didn't matter which room they stayed in.

Tonight, because of Ouyang Huanbin's presence, everyone seemed more at ease. Jiang Cheng sat on the made bed, holding his phone, discussing the clues of this mission with the fatty and Huai Yi in the group chat.

"Based on the previous situation, the ghost will attack the person staying in the room with the earliest time. If the attack fails, it will turn to attack the next room in order," Jiang Cheng sent a voice message.

Last night, the knocking ghost first attacked Jiang Cheng, and only turned to Liu Hui after the attack failed.

"What a pity, that Liu Hui looked quite powerful, but I didn't expect her to fall too," Huai Yi said, leaning on the pillow with his legs crossed. Tonight, he was going to have a good night's sleep.

Judging from the progress of the mission, if everything went smoothly, they would be able to find a way to enter that room tomorrow, and then they could leave this ghostly place.

After getting out, he had many things to do.

Thinking of this, he sincerely thanked Jiang Cheng and Wang Fugui. If it weren't for them, he would have died in the mission long ago. And more importantly, they gave him hope to live on.

Actually... the first person to be attacked by the ghost last night should have been him. Jiang Cheng helped him get through it. Thinking about it this way, Huai Yi felt that he had nothing to be happy about. On the contrary, he felt a little ashamed.

The knocking ghost was able to kill Liu Hui, which meant it wasn't a simple character either. If it were him, he would probably have to give up the ghost. Although Jiang Cheng mentioned the knocking ghost today in a light tone, as if he had dealt with it easily, Huai Yi understood that Jiang Cheng was afraid of saying too much and making him feel bad.

Without realizing it, he already owed them so much.

"Brother Jiang, Brother Fugui, you must live well!" Jiang Cheng and the fatty's screens suddenly popped up with this line of text.

Huai Yi was completely moved by his feelings. He even had a feeling that these endless, nightmarish horror missions would end in Jiang Cheng and the fatty's hands.

The next second, Huai Yi suddenly received two replies.

Jiang Cheng: "What's wrong?"

Fatty: "Brother Huai Yi, don't do anything rash!"

Realizing that they had misunderstood, Huai Yi quickly explained that he was fine, full of energy, and had just had a brain cramp and sent it out. Then, the more Huai Yi looked at this sentence, the more pretentious it seemed. He originally wanted to withdraw it, but he was inexplicably worried that withdrawing this sentence would have some bad omen and affect Brother Jiang and Brother Fugui.

"I also think it's strange," Jiang Cheng typed later, "That Liu Hui doesn't seem like someone who would be easily killed."

Jiang Cheng had faced the knocking ghost and knew that although the latter was cunning, one thing was certain: as long as you didn't open the door, the ghost couldn't hurt you. Liu Hui must have known this as well.

But she still died, dragged away by the knocking ghost and disappeared into the room that shouldn't have existed at the end of the corridor on the third floor.

He always felt like he was missing something.

Something very important.

"Doctor," the fatty sent a voice message, his tone filled with surprise, "So you put a phone in the corridor to record! You discovered something, right?"

Taking advantage of Miao Qing and Bai Xiaojie's inattention, Jiang Cheng took the phone from Ouyang Huanbin's pocket, then turned on the recording function and hid the phone behind a flower pot on the side of the corridor, the camera aimed at the stairs leading to the third floor.

Hearing the fatty's words, Jiang Cheng hesitated slightly before replying, "Not really, I just feel like something is strange."

"Huai Yi is right, Liu Hui died too easily. I always feel like something is wrong here, like there are some things we don't understand yet."
