The person was trembling. "You...are you a human or a ghost?"

Zuo Qingya asked in confusion, "Of course it's a person, could it be a ghost?"

Upon hearing the voices, the person screamed in fright, "Ah...a ghost!"

"A ghost? Where?"

"It's inside, let's run!"

"Where? Let me see." She stood in front of room 306 and saw the white dress standing there. She wanted to scream, but the sound got stuck in her throat.

Zuo Qingya frowned. "Are you ever going to stop? Who are you calling a ghost? Don't you know how to respect people?" She then turned on the light.

When the lights were turned on, Zuo Qingya could be seen, but her features were still not very clear.

"You...you...why are you pretending to be a ghost to scare people?"

Zuo Qingya rolled her eyes. "When did I pretend to be a ghost to scare people?"

Isn't that so?

"My skin is dark, how am I trying to scare people by pretending to be a ghost?"

Everyone patted their chests in relief.

"So it was a misunderstanding."

"So that's why you're dark-skinned. No wonder I couldn't see your face clearly."

Zuo Qingya continued rolling her eyes, "Do you think I want to be this dark-skinned?"

"That's true, nobody would want to be so dark-skinned."

"But your skin is so dark, I can't see your facial features at all."

"You can still see a little bit during the day."

"Alright, say what you want, but we need to do our routine check now."

"Check? Check what?"

"Inspect the room."

"Why do we need to check the room?"

Didn't you feel it just now?

"Ah... what do you feel? Has something happened?"

"Of course it's a vibration."

Zuo Qingya scratched her head. "Is that so? I didn't feel anything."

"What were you doing just now? Such a loud noise, didn't you feel anything at all?" He said, looking Zuo Qingya up and down.

"I was just sleeping."

"Stop talking nonsense and please move aside so we can check the room."

"There are so many of you, and my room is only so big. Are you sure you want to all come in?"

Guan Dongzhe pointed to a man and said, "Ayi, go in and take a look."

"OK."

Zuo Qingya stepped aside to let the person in.

The room was completely clear at a glance; there was nothing else there. After looking around, A-Yi walked out of the room and said, "Nothing unusual."

Guan Dongzhe nodded. "Since there's nothing unusual, let's go." Then he apologized to Zuo Qingya, "I'm sorry to bother you, guest."

Zuo Qingya waved her hand, "It's alright."

After everyone left, Zuo Qingya breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, she had used a trick to fool them.

Looking at the dent on the ground, Zuo Qingya was speechless. She never expected that the box would be so hard that it couldn't be opened by force. Luckily, she only tried and didn't use her full strength. If she had, the house would have collapsed.

Zuo Qingya looked at the thing in her hand and thought, "Why don't I go into the space and take a look?"

Thinking this, Zuo Qingya flashed into the consciousness space.

As soon as Zuo Qingya came in, Little Ginseng covered her nose and stared at what Zuo Qingya was holding.

"Zuo Qingya, why did you bring this thing into your space? Aren't you afraid it will make your space stink?"

Zuo Qingya shrugged. "I didn't want to either. That force just now almost destroyed someone's house."

"Then you can't bring this in."

"Anyway, there's so much space, it should be fine, right?"

"I think you should take this outside; it feels very unsafe."

Zuo Qingya thought for a moment, then nodded, "Alright then." With that, Zuo Qingya flashed out of her consciousness space, put the thing back in its original position, and then flashed back into the space.

"They didn't find it? How is that possible? The sound was coming from our building, how could they not find it?"

"It's true, there's nothing wrong at all, except..."

"Besides what?"

"Apart from one room where a woman was rather dark-skinned, there was nothing else unusual."

"She's quite dark-skinned? Which room does she stay in?"

"She lives in room 306."

"It's her?"

"Boss lady, do you know her?"

“She was brought in by A-K.”

"Okay then, I saw him that day, he was quite dark-skinned."

The next day, the base became particularly lively because a small general store had appeared. However, this small general store did not buy garbage, but crystal cores.

"What exactly happened? Wasn't it said that the small general store only collected junk? How come it's collecting crystal cores?"

"Is it possible that this shop is fake?"

"Why don't we try stealing things from the store and see if we get blacklisted?"

"I wouldn't dare. What if this shop is real and I get blacklisted? Then I won't be able to use anything from the shop."

"How about we spend some crystal cores to buy a packet of nutrient solution and see if it makes us feel full? If it does, then the shop is probably legitimate."

"Okay, let's go together then."

Having bought the nutritional supplement, the man couldn't wait to drink it. After finishing one packet, he indeed felt full.

Hey buddy, are you feeling full?

"Yes, I feel really full."

"Sigh, if only the little general store here would accept trash. I've accumulated a lot of trash, just waiting for the little general store to appear so I could exchange it for trash. But what they're really accepting here is crystal cores. That's too much!"

"You don't care what they collect, as long as there's food, nothing else matters."

"Exactly! I'm starving to death if we don't have any food. What's wrong with going out and getting some more crystal cores? Right?"

"That's right, that's right."

As soon as Zuo Qingya came out of the space, she felt the liveliness outside. She opened the window and saw a small general store in the distance.

"There are quite a lot of people."

Zuo Qingya checked her earnings and was surprised to find that they were quite substantial. She decided to earn enough crystal cores first, and then switch to collecting junk once she had enough.

Just then, something under the bed moved.

As soon as there was any movement, Zuo Qingya noticed it, took out the box and shook it.

With a click, the box opened, and Zuo Qingya was stunned when she saw what was inside.

"What is this? Is it an insect?"

Inside the box was a transparent worm with large eyes and large ears that, indescribably, looked particularly ugly.

The transparent worm sensed Zuo Qingya's approach and opened its mouth wide, startling Zuo Qingya. Judging from the height of the worm's open mouth, she knew how big it was—it was the same height as Zuo Qingya. Was it about to eat her?

Just as the insect was about to bite her, Zuo Qingya produced a stinky fruit and placed it directly into the transparent worm's mouth.

The transparent worm suddenly paused and began to twitch. Although the worm was transparent, what it spat out was no ordinary thing; it was all human bones.

As if sensing something, Zuo Qingya immediately affixed an invisibility talisman and a breath-clearing talisman to her body.
