Merita clearly realized during Julian and the others' conversation with Wang Wenfei that she and Lu Xiaoyao didn't have enough information; at least, Julian and the others knew more than they did.

Late at night, the girls couldn't directly ask the boys, so the quickest way was for the girls to chat online. Wang Wen knew that she was from the village, so she could get more information.

"good."

Wang Wenfei nodded; she was also inclined to do so.

Mingmei noticed the two exchanging glances and then secretly spoke to Guigui, saying, "I'm going to sleep first. Could you record Lu Xiaoyao's live stream tonight for me?"

[Host, I think you should face your identity squarely. Your persona doesn't require sleep.]

Don't you need it?

Do you need it?

"I think I need to," Mingmei replied after a moment's "serious" thought. "After all, I'm a real person. Even if I'm not playing a human, I can't escape human nature."

Mingmei picked up her teacup, turned around and closed the shop door. After nodding to everyone, she walked towards the door hidden in the shadows below the stairs on the second floor.

The moment the doorbell swung open, the ghost finally uttered the mockery befitting a master of Yin and Yang—[Is that so, host? Are you sure you still have any humanity left? From the moment you entered this room, your level of nervous excitement has been consistently above the warning line. Don't you really want me to test your mental state?]

"It's alright, Mountain God... What happened? Where are the bad guys?"

Mingmei chuckled softly, went inside, closed the door, and didn't turn on the lights, blending herself into the darkness.

Gui Gui: [...]

What happened to my dislike of being the villainous boss?

This time it's fresh, the second time... and it's all burnt?
