"How could this be the first time it's been stolen from!"
I can tell you definitively that the person who stole my things is very likely the same person who will cause you to encounter a ghostly maze later!
At this moment, Fatty Zhou seemed to be trying his best to prove something; he was extremely excited.
Who is it?
My tone was somewhat tentative.
At this point, I certainly couldn't bring myself to tell him directly.
That would only provoke his rebellious nature.
Fatty Zhou's voice froze for a moment, and his hands clenched into fists.
He seemed to be making a decision, and after a long while, he slowly spoke.
"Maybe... I just said maybe it's a moviegoer."
His voice was tinged with despair.
"Filmmaker?"
Neither the girl nor I had ever heard of this word before.
"It is a shallow type of monster that has no physical form and can only live in shadows."
They specifically steal things with energy, like this sea marrow of mine.
When Fatty Zhou said that, I became even more puzzled. If it's something without a physical form, how could it appear in this hotel?
Not only did they show up brazenly, but they also successfully checked in and entered their information.
How could it even leave behind such a string of footprints?
This is not something someone living in the shadows could accomplish.
This Fatty Zhou even said that the "ghost wall" we just encountered might have been caused by this guy.
This makes me even more skeptical.
Given that there are so many guests, I feel there's a possibility that these people might team up to make things difficult for us.
One was in charge of stealing, and the other was in charge of setting up a trap for us.
The boss was not only unaware of the situation, but he was also one of the victims.
"This Shadow Guest... according to you, shouldn't it be a non-existent entity?"
How could he just jump out of the box and influence us like this?
I'm asking the same question.
"Sigh, this thing is really weird."
Let me put it this way.
"Since you came from Blue Armor, you've probably seen those adult insects in the deep sea..."
Upon hearing this, I immediately realized what was happening.
That's just an adult scabies mites!
"Are you talking about scabies mites?"
I also spoke slightly.
"Yes, these kinds of movie fans are a variant of that thing."
Those who have developed independent consciousness and attained great power cannot even enter this superficial level.
When I heard this, I was completely shocked.
I thought this thing was originally just a monster, but I never imagined that sea scabies worms could cultivate into spirits.
At that moment, I glanced at Yiyi beside me, and she was even more shocked.
Having lived on the manor for so many years, she probably didn't know that these scabies mites that maintain balance could cultivate into independent human forms and then go to other places.
Thinking about it this way, I was even more surprised.
Is it possible that some of the people we see in our daily lives are actually movie stars?
I dared not think any further.
However, judging from the current situation, this shadow puppeteer may indeed be the one who created the "ghost wall" phenomenon.
For example, when we were in the deep sea before, we almost got eaten by sea scabies mites.
Now it seems that the adult scabies worm has also moved to the shallow waters.
The methods he possesses may very well include things like being trapped in a maze.
I originally thought that once I saw this fat man, I would naturally get my hands on the sea marrow. Then, when I returned to the border, I could exchange it with Blue Armor, and everyone would be happy.
But now, having just escaped the sea scabies mites from the deep sea, another guy who can cultivate unique superpowers has suddenly appeared.
Just thinking about it makes my head spin.
Why is this thing still haunting us?
"So what do we do now?"
Yiyi also asked in a low voice.
"Half of the sea marrow has been stolen, and Xiao Yuan's illness is urgent... If we simply take these sea marrow powders, we can't go back and continue our work."
The girl's concerns were not unfounded.
At this point, if I were to starve the boss and his son to death, to be honest, I wouldn't be too bothered.
However, he is, after all, a blue-armored soldier, and he sent me. I reckon he definitely doesn't want to see this kind of scene.
If this kid changes his mind later, things could get complicated.
Or perhaps, we never knew about this contract they set up, and what punishment Zhou Pangzi would receive if we hadn't died.
Based on current speculation, I think Fatty Zhou is very likely to give up some of his existing sea marrow as compensation to Blue Armor.
If that's the case, then Blue Armor is getting the best of both worlds.
If we die, our two lives will have been given to Blue Armor for nothing, and Old Zhou will get nothing in return.
If I hadn't died, this Boss Zhou would definitely have been punished accordingly. If he had mortgaged another jar of sea cucumber instead, his son would have been in real danger.
I think Lan Jia definitely knows about Xiao Yuan's situation.
But he ignored it, let alone considered Zhou Pangzi's son.
At this moment, Fatty Zhou slightly raised his head, his eyes seemingly filled with a pleading look.
"I know you're going through a tough time right now, but I really can't help you. Please forgive me for being unable to assist you..."
I'm really at my wit's end. If we keep digging for sea marrow and the guys don't come back... Xiao Yuan really won't be able to hold on much longer.
"Can you just forget about me?"
I looked at the fat man's slightly red eyes, which formed a stark contrast with his large belly.
I initially thought she was easygoing, but I was surprised to find that she was actually quite sensitive.
Although I was somewhat hesitant, even if I really wanted to help, as he said, there was nothing I could do.
He just said that the guests have set up energy around their rooms, which means that not only this Fatty Zhou, but even if we went there, we would definitely be isolated outside.
If we help him, we might not even be able to save ourselves.
I think the lightning sword must have used up a lot of energy after rushing down from the third floor.
But if I don't help him, I think he and his son are definitely doomed.
"Here's what we'll do: I'll watch over your son for you. You go and come back quickly to find that guy who's digging for herbs. If all else fails, you can dig some up yourself."
In that case, we'll have the best of both worlds.
Tell us the proportions for preparing aged sea marrow.
I took a deep breath and nodded.
This is probably the only option left.
Upon hearing this, Fatty Zhou seemed to have grasped at a lifeline, nodding vigorously like he was pounding garlic.
"Okay, okay! I'll tell you everything!"
However... I might not be able to come back once I go.
I'll need your help taking care of Xiao Yuan then!
