Lin Yanze widened his eyes and asked curiously, "Why are you all in the same room?"

Ye Shaojun smiled, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "I have completed the mission. I found my way here and happened to meet them. I was thinking of looking for you."

"Is your mission so simple? I've always said that I'm the most miserable one."

Jiang Yunhao was shocked. He felt that he must be the most miserable one among everyone, and it was all thanks to Qiao Shu.

Although Jiang Yiyao still felt uncomfortable, for the sake of the overall situation, she endured and asked, "So what should we do next?"

Xu Tingzhou took out his keys and said, "Everyone, gather your keys together. Our most urgent task now is to find the exit of Yuelan Hotel before the Hell Messenger finds us."

"Yes, Tingzhou is right. Here is my key. Here it is."

Ye Shaojun and the others stood up spontaneously and gave the keys to Xu Tingzhou.

Hu Miaomiao looked at Qiao Shu arrogantly and commanded, "Qiao Shu, it's time to hand over your keys."

Jiang Yiyao frowned, "Why should it all be handed over to Xu Tingzhou? Qiao Shu is clearly the strongest among us."

Hu Miaomiao couldn't help but retort, "You said Qiao Shu is the strongest, but is she really the strongest? Brother Tingzhou is the most powerful. He helped me complete the mission and saved me."

"You are..."

Jiang Yiyao was not convinced and was about to argue with her, but was stopped by Qiao Shu.

"It's okay, Yaoyao. We are all one, teammates. It's okay to give it to Xu Tingzhou. I believe he can take us out together, right?"

Qiao Shu smiled meaningfully and handed the key to Xu Tingzhou.

Hu Miaomiao's expression brightened. "That's right, Qiao Shu does have some vision. Brother Tingzhou will definitely be able to get us out."

Seeing that Qiao Shu had given all the keys, the others also handed the keys to Xu Tingzhou.

Xu Tingzhou smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will take you away."

Xu Jun stood at the door and listened to the noise outside, then beckoned to them, "It seems the Hell Messenger has left. We can act now."

I opened the door and saw that the corridor was empty.

They came to the emergency passage and walked up, and reached the ninth floor smoothly.

Qiao Shu scoffed, "I couldn't even press the 9th floor sign in the elevator, but I didn't expect it would be so easy to go up the stairs."

She looked at her countdown again and saw only three hours left.

In this space, time passed faster than she imagined.

At this moment, the lights in the corridor went completely dark.

The safe passage behind him also disappeared.

"What's going on?"

Hu Miaomiao screamed in fright and hugged Xu Tingzhou's arm tightly, refusing to let go.

Clang clang!

At the end of the corridor, a dark shadow gradually approached.

"Hell's messenger? Why is he able to catch up even on the ninth floor?"

Xu Tingzhou pursed his lips, his eyes filled with hostility.

"There's no way to escape. There's no other way out. We must find the real exit and a chance of survival."

Qiao Shu ignored the approaching shadow and came to the door of the only room on the ninth floor. "Xu Tingzhou, try to open the door."

"good!"

Xu Tingzhou tried key after key, but unfortunately, none of the keys could open the door.

Cold sweat began to flow down his face. Xu Tingzhou closed his eyes and said dejectedly, "It's useless. They are all fake keys."

"How so? Is there something we've missed?"

Lin Ke'er was so anxious that she almost cried, "Haven't we completed the mission? We should have found the keys to every room."

Qiao Shu pursed her red lips and looked at Cen Jing who was silent beside her.

Cen Jing met her gaze and smiled, "Why? Do you really want to save them?"

Qiao Shu nodded without hesitation. Are you kidding? This is all her money!

Seeing her seriousness, Cen Jing restrained his smile and sighed softly, "Why? You know very well that not all of them are kind people."

Qiao Shu remained silent, and Cen Jing finally compromised. He snorted, "Alright, you owe me one."

After saying that, he raised his hand and opened the door easily without using a key.

Qiao Shu raised her eyebrows. "Is it that simple?"

"Well, don't go in yet!"

Cen Jing took her hand and walked in first, and the others followed closely behind. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief only after the door was closed.

"Is this the exit of Yuelan Hotel?"

Jiang Yunhao walked into the room and asked in confusion, "Why doesn't it look like an ordinary office?"

Looking around, Qiao Shu saw a large office. On the sandalwood table were a pen holder, decorations, an old computer, and some paper contracts.

"Qiao Qiao, come and look, there is a photo hanging on this wall."

Jiang Yiyao pointed at the photos on the wall. There were many people in the photos, all wearing hotel uniforms and smiling happily.

"This is the lobby manager, Zhou Ting."

"And that female ghost in white?"

"The green-clad female ghost is here too, and so is the fat man who eats and drinks so much."

"So, many of the ghosts we saw before were hotel employees?"

They stopped in front of the photos and found many familiar faces in them.

"There's other information in the computer."

Qiao Shu was already sitting in a chair, turning on her long-dusty computer to look for useful information.

"On January 21, I caught him by the tail and heard him crying for mercy. I chose to give him another chance to reform."

"On February 6th, the company's account deficits kept piling up. He was even more sinful than I had imagined."

"On February 8th, his disgusting appearance frightened me. After I confirmed my dismissal, he made these harsh remarks. I'm a little worried..."

Qiao Shu read the log on the computer, and there was no record after that.

"Qiao Qiao, what did you find?"

"It's the murderer!"

Qiao Shu looked up at the people in the room and said calmly, "This office should be the hotel owner's office. The 'he' in his diary should be the real culprit of the hotel arson."

"Hotel arson? The real culprit? Qiao Shu, how do you know so much? Don't try to scare people here on purpose."

Hu Miaomiao hugged Xu Tingzhou's arm and felt goosebumps all over her body.

"I won the VIP suite at the Yuelan Hotel. The clue they gave me is that this hotel was set on fire that year, and no one inside escaped. My mission is to catch the murderer for them."

Qiao Shu supported her chin with both hands and told them with a smile on her lips.

"Qiao Qiao, your mission is not completed yet?"

Jiang Yiyao was a little worried about her, "What about the murderer? Can you find him in the limited time?"

Qiao Shu blinked her beautiful eyes, picked up the pen in her hand, pointed at the people present and said, "Well, of course, I found it. The murderer... is among you."
