He Wangyao fell asleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow.

He has a weak constitution, making him prone to attracting evil spirits. In addition, he is particular about his bed, so he usually has difficulty falling asleep when sleeping outside.

I don't know if it's because I didn't perform the necessary bedtime ritual and self-suggestion before sleep, but I slept very uncomfortable today.

I had a lot of strange and bizarre dreams, and I was terrified, yet I was so caught up in them that I couldn't wake up.

Suddenly, a soft clicking sound rang out in the silent room.

He Wangyao realized what that sound was and instantly regained consciousness, but he found that he still couldn't move!

The feeling was like sleep paralysis; I could clearly perceive everything in the room, but I just couldn't move, not even a finger!

Light footsteps sounded from the direction of the door, but were almost inaudible due to the thick carpet.

Someone came in and went straight into the inner room.

He Wangyao felt a chill run down his spine. He wanted to make some noise to warn Pei Di in the next bed, but he couldn't do it no matter what he did!

The person stood silently by the bed, staring at him for a moment with a cold, cruel gaze, as if contemplating where to strike to kill him instantly.

In the end, he decided that it would be faster to just slit the throat. Once the trachea was cut, the victim would not be able to call for help.

The blade gleamed coldly as it slashed down mercilessly.

The terror in He Wangyao's heart reached its peak almost instantly—

The next second, a foot came flying through the air, sending the assailant flying and crashing into the TV cabinet.

Mingzhuo followed closely and kicked away another knife that the other party had pulled out of his pocket.

Then he smiled at the other person in a friendly manner and said, "You have quite a lot of equipment."

She was wearing a long wig and a skirt, but she was actually a real man.

The cross-dressing man probably saw that she was a young girl and thought that he might as well go all the way, so he gritted his teeth and pounced on her, intending to fight her hand-to-hand.

In the instant Mingzhuo dodged to the side, he simply dislocated his arm as well.

The cross-dressing man broke out in a cold sweat from the pain. He looked at Ming Zhuo in horror, not understanding where this person had come from.

The plan was flawless; I closed the door myself, and there shouldn't have been a fourth person in the room.

Mingzhuo kindly answered for him: "I'm not as capable as you to get a room key. I came in through the window."

Cross-dressing man: "..."

You're kidding me. This is the 10th floor. Do you think you can fly over walls?

“Really, look out the window if you don’t believe me,” Mingzhuo explained kindly.

The man in disguise looked up and glanced outside, then let out a heart-wrenching scream, "A ghost!!!"

Mingzhao: "..."

Looking at that size, is this all the mental fortitude you have?

She glanced at the red-eyed figure peering out the window. "Alright, you can go now."

A few minutes ago, Mingzhuo arrived at the spying line of sight with his eyes closed.

She wanted to continue sleeping, but the thing outside the window grew bolder and even tried to come in.

Since you're so eager to visit her room, she's naturally very welcoming; my door is always open!

When the ghost entered the room and sensed the powerful aura emanating from Mingzhuo, it was filled with terror and considered running away.

But when Mingzhuo saw his skeletal body, a novel idea came to him!

This is a real ghost, not entirely formed from yin energy, and it is quite practical.

A few minutes later, the red-eyed man miserably controlled the bones to pave a path, allowing Mingzhuo to step on them and reach the next room.

It's truly unbelievable that something so renowned in this region would end up being bullied and forced to utter not a single complaint.

So when it saw the cross-dressing man, it vented its anger on him.

Damn it, it's all because of your trouble next door that I'm enslaved!

Mingzhuo: "Aren't you leaving yet? Do you want me to perform a ritual to help you pass on to the afterlife?"

The red-eyed man was so frightened that he quickly floated out the window and disappeared into the darkness.

Mingzhuo walked to the bedside and pressed several acupoints on He Wangyao's body, after which he turned over and coughed violently.

A moment later, Pei Di was also woken up by her doing the same thing, looking completely bewildered. "Boss, what exactly happened?"

Mingzhuo walked over and stomped on the cross-dressing man who was trying to get up and run away.

His gaze swept over the bottled water on the bedside table. "You've been drugged."

If it were a curse, everyone would have the protective charms given to them by Mingzhuo, so they wouldn't be affected at all. At most, they would just hide outside the window and peep, like the red-eyed person before.

But drugging is different; it's a human factor, and since the group drank it after returning to their rooms, Mingzhuo couldn't immediately detect anything amiss.

She glanced down at the man in disguise. "Also, he hired someone to kill; he's just an ordinary person."

He Wangyao was speechless. They had taken every precaution they could, but they hadn't been on guard against ordinary people.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Li Wenhe: "He Wangyao, Pei Di, how are you?"

He Wangyao quickly went over and opened the door. When her feet touched the ground, she felt weak and powerless.

Li Wenhe was quite alert and didn't drink the hotel's bottled water, so he was woken up by the noise outside the window after sleeping for a while.

There was a ghost spying outside the window, but fortunately it was not difficult to deal with. He used a ghost-repelling talisman to eliminate it, only to find that the commotion in the next room was quite loud.

When the door opened and they went in, they were quite surprised to see the person being trampled under Mingzhuo's feet.

It seems that the main trump card tonight lies with He Wangyao.

Mingzhuo picked up the dagger from the ground. It was engraved with a strange magic circle. As long as He Wangyao died by the dagger, she would be immediately turned into a vengeful ghost.
