Xiao Fang was round and nimble, and he opened the door and chased after Meng Chengxi as soon as he finished speaking.
Sheh picked up the soapberry fruit from the bed board. "Lu Xiaohui prayed for the safety of everyone in the hotel. The fact that something to ward off evil and bring good fortune is here is very likely something she had made."
Shi Jinzhe said, "She believed in snakes and knew there were unclean things in the hotel. Zhang Anguo's death must be related to her."
Meng Chengxi hissed, "Could it be that she found out her husband was having an affair with her best friend and killed him in a fit of anger?"
Shi Jinzhe still felt something was wrong. "The clue words are 'reliance' and 'independence.' Lu Xiaohui has seen her husband cheat on her more than once. If Zhang Anguo forced his friend, then this bridesmaid would be his deceased wife. But as it stands, she has no connection to these two words at all."
"We have so few clues about this bridesmaid. If only we could get to the seventh floor," Meng Chengxi said, his head bowed and a slight sigh of worry in his voice.
He told Shi Jinzhe, "Lu Xiaohui lives on the seventh floor, which is not open to guests. The fire escape on the seventh floor is blocked off. You can only go through the elevator, but the elevator can go up to the seventh floor, but you can't enter the corridor that has been fitted with a fence door."
"Can't we go in?" Shekh recalled the conversation he had overheard last night.
The third person who came to chat in this room said she went to the seventh floor and met the landlady who gave her a 25% discount on her room rate. If she couldn't go in, how did she get up there?
This building has seven floors. She couldn't have gone to the seventh floor by mistake. Did she go there on purpose?
Shehe couldn't understand it. Holding the string of soapberries in her hand, she wondered if she could just go to the seventh floor and give Lu Xiaohui a surprise demonstration of her true form.
Perhaps because she reveres snakes so much, she got excited upon seeing him and told him everything.
"No, you're cheating." The system arrived just in time, shattering her plans.
What are the consequences of cheating?
[Points earning has been cancelled, and there are no rewards for this event. You don't want your big house to remain forever out of reach, do you?]
Sooner or later, I'll kill you.
Shekh smiled broadly. The broken system was in her mind; it knew everything she thought. Once she could get rid of it, she would definitely disable it immediately.
[...Stop having dangerous thoughts.]
"Oh."
Shekh suddenly sneered, startling Shi Jinzhe. "I don't think I did anything wrong today..."
"Not to you."
Knock knock—
Xiao Fang knocked on the door from the outside, "Brother Meng, it's me."
Meng Chengxi opened the door for him. "So, did you get the answer?"
"I found out that they cleaned the room once when they checked me in yesterday, but they didn't let the cleaning staff into the room for the first three days of my stay."
Xiao Fang was still a little out of breath. He swallowed and continued, "When she got into the elevator, she ran into a female colleague. Her cat kept meowing and wouldn't stop talking, so I was delayed a little, hehe."
Shi Jinzhe and Shehe exchanged a glance: "Is the cat meowing again?"
Xiao Fang: "Yes, the screams were so piercing."
Sheikh then asked, "Did they say anything?"
Xiao Fang: "Yes, the girl holding the cat complained that the landlady only agreed to give you a 25% discount on the room rate, but when she changed rooms, she said she had never heard of such a thing."
Sheikh: "Is there anything else?"
"That's all, and then the two of them took the elevator downstairs."
As soon as Xiao Fang finished speaking, Meng Chengxi, who was next to him, opened the door and chased after him. Immediately afterwards, Shi Jinzhe and Shehe followed.
Wearing ghost masks and playing a ghost-summoning game, these people probably summoned a real ghost without even realizing it!
That cat doesn't meow at strangers, so how could it possibly meow so pitifully at its colleagues?
That's really asking for trouble.
Meng Chengxi was the first to run to the elevator. Seeing that the elevator had reached the first floor, he pressed the down button twice and then went to the fire escape next to it.
He gave a very detailed account: "I'll go find the girl from the stairs, you guys guard the elevator."
"He... is quite enthusiastic," Sheh commented, watching Meng Chengxi's retreating figure as he strode downstairs.
"Meng Chengxi's character is above average in survival games. He is willing to take care of new players who have no one to help him, does not like to team up with people who are too utilitarian, and is also prudent in his actions. He is a good person."
On the elevator panel, the numbers rose again, and Shi Jinzhe heard Xiao Fang rushing up from the corridor behind him.
"Phew..." Xiao Fang bent over, supporting himself on his knees. His slow-thinking brain finally caught up with him, and he asked, "Is that girl in danger?"
"uncertain."
A ghost can possess one person, and it can possess another.
Even if the masked woman has a black cat, it's still just a kitten, and it's uncertain whether she can escape it.
"Will it be okay for Brother Meng to go after him alone?" Xiao Fang was still a little worried.
"He's a seasoned player; saving someone isn't difficult for him. As for us, we're here to catch ghosts."
Xiao Fang: "..."
So you guys ran so fast not to save people after all.
