Mu Chen's face flashed with a mixture of relief and melancholy. After hearing what he said, the expressions on the faces of the four people opposite him couldn't help but twist.
The person (ghost) in front of me is saying something really suspicious!
...
What do you think of the mysterious businessman's answer?
After receiving Mu Chen's reply, the four of them went upstairs with their own thoughts and gathered once again in Julian's room to start their discussion.
“A string of lies.” Da Yao spoke first. “If they didn’t know, what would that poster on the wall covering the bloodstains be? If a normal person took over the shop and saw this scene, wouldn’t they be shocked and ask questions? He might not just be a businessman. Maybe things have changed, and his identity is actually two-in-one?”
The speculation that Mu Chen might be both a boss and a businessman, which Da Yao had not dismissed, was still held true, while the other three found it unbelievable that he had initially proposed this idea.
"Even though he doesn't look like a good person, he still sold us lunchboxes. We shouldn't think like that, right?"
Charlie first refuted Da Yao's 'two-in-one' conjecture again, then said, "But judging from the fact that they cook with water, it's clear they're not alive either. I mean... maybe, maybe they were the couple who died in this hotel earlier, but their obsession was too deep..."
In this way, after death they become ghosts, repeating their lives from before. The illusions before them are not only meant to deceive the tourists, but also to deceive themselves, just as they don't know they are dead..."
"What you're saying is indeed possible..."
Charlie's reasoning gained more acceptance, but Da Yao remained unconvinced, retorting, "Then—what about that evil spirit? Is there really only one other NPC besides the boss and his wife?"
"Since you've already combined two, I can guess the 'one missing' one too!"
Da Yao: "..."
"Maybe? The owners are inside the shop, and the evil spirit is outside; it can't get in."
Seeing that Da Yao had fallen silent after he had spoken, Charlie continued to talk, but then his expression changed and he began to refute him, "Wait, if he can't get in, what about the tragedy that happened in this hotel back then?"
"Either the owner and his wife are the hidden evil spirits; or this evil spirit NPC can actually enter the hotel, but there might be some kind of setting, such as—he can enter after a few days, or with someone else's permission or something like that."
Julian summarized the opinions of the other players and gave this answer, then looked up at everyone and said, "It depends on who you are more willing to believe."
