About ten minutes later, Ji He appeared on the roadside, lying on the ground, leaning against the roadside railing, vomiting profusely.
Ji He's face was even paler than usual, as if she was about to collapse. After vomiting a lot of acidic water, she rolled over with difficulty and lay down to the side, finally having a chance to breathe.
The global horror teleportation wasn't this painful.
However, to rescue players unharmed from the Ghost Realm, especially with the use of the Heavenly Guidance item, after the global horror recovery, players can escape from a hopeless situation with no chance of survival.
In this theoretically perilous situation, where players are destined to die, especially given the underlying logic that dungeons are essentially games, even in a global horror game, the only option is to use cheats.
Therefore, taking Ji He away directly, who was theoretically going to die there, meant that Ji He's experience wouldn't be very good...
Even so, when Ji He collapsed to the ground, she felt a sense of relief, as if she had survived a disaster. She couldn't even stop the tears from flowing.
"I survived."
"I finally survived..."
Ji He's voice trembled constantly as she wiped away her tears, gradually recovering from her shock.
After a long while, she raised her hand to support herself on the railing beside her, staggered to her feet, and recalled her previous experience in the apartment—one ghost after another, countless vengeful spirits, even after she sacrificed all the players, she still almost fell into Ruan Qing'an's hands in the end...
"She must be the murderer who killed Jiang Shihe!"
Ji He lowered her eyes and murmured coldly. Now she was the only player left. What she did was entirely up to her. Now that it was certain that Ruan Qing'an was the murderer of Jiang Shihe, it seemed—
The serial killer wouldn't be Nguyen Thanh An.
Because Ji He knew perfectly well that all of Ruan Qing'an's energy, all her emotions, and even her entire world revolved around Jiang Shihe in the emotions brought about by that red thread. How could she possibly commit any more serial murders? It was simply a joke.
However, Ji He suddenly paused: "If that's the case, and Ruan Qing'an is one of the conditions for passing the level, then who exactly is the serial killer who is the culprit in achieving the goal, that ghost?"
"No, that's not right, you can't think like that."
"It was already clear before that Jiang Shihe was also problematic. After all, what kind of ghost could make the global horror community specifically mark 'surviving under supernatural forces'?"
Ji He's thoughts raced, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She couldn't help but ask, "Yes, were those defeated players really killed because Jiang Shihe was killed?"
"Was it really Jiang Shihe who died?"
"Or rather, who exactly are we supposed to protect!"
The more Ji He thought about it, the more she felt that her idea made sense. She was able to rank among the top players in the global horror game leaderboard, and even be among the best. Whether it was her cleverness or her ruthlessness, she was no simple character.
Those who can reach Ji He's position are all seasoned veterans, which is something other players cannot match.
After a moment of silence, Ji He made up her mind.
"Yes, since Jiang Shihe is highly suspected, why not use Ruan Qing'an to test the waters and see if there's any breakthrough?"
"Firstly, if Jiang Shihe is truly a normal person, and not the ghost hiding among the people as I believe, then he would definitely feel afraid when faced with Ruan Qing'an's morbid pursuit."
Secondly, Ruan Qing'an is currently too dangerous. If left unchecked, it could cause problems for the operation. He must be dealt with. And since Ruan Qing'an's obsession is closely related to Jiang Shihe, it should also be considered a weakness.
Having made up her mind, Ji He no longer hesitated. She quickly took out her props and began to make copies of the scenes that she had seen on the red line and that Ruan Qing'an had filmed.
After doing all this, she headed back towards the police station.
When the other players decided to kill Nguyen Thanh An, Ji He led the decision and had considerable influence, which is why they went to Nguyen Thanh An's apartment so quickly.
This has saved a lot of time. If nothing unexpected happens, Jiang Shihe is probably still in the police station.
Seeing that the capital city was showing signs of turning into a ghost town during the day, the veteran player Ji He was naturally aware of this subtle change, and he pressed the accelerator even harder.
...
Meanwhile, inside the police station.
At this moment, Jiang Shihe was talking to Long Qi, but a vague and ominous premonition arose in his heart, which was extremely strange.
"What's wrong, Mr. Jiang?"
Just then, Long Qi asked again, and Jiang Shihe replied, "It's nothing, Captain Long. I've explained the general situation to you. As long as you find the principal of F University, someone will testify to my statement that Miss Ruan is innocent."
"As for the matter of Fengxian Village, I know a little about it."
Long Qi thought for a moment and explained, "When I first came to work in criminal investigation, the captain who was in charge of me was handling this huge case of human trafficking of women. He followed the clues little by little from other places and that's how he found Fengxian Village."
"He originally intended to arrest them all, but he didn't expect that the incident in Fengxian Village would be widely publicized, and everyone would know about the heinous events that happened there on the same night."
Long Qi paused, his expression turning grim: "A huge fire burned the entire Fengxian Village to the ground."
"I never expected this, Mr. Jiang. Miss Ruan is actually from Fengxian Village. But it's already a blessing that she was able to escape from there. Fortunately, nothing unforgivable happened."
"Um……"
Jiang Shihe lowered his head and casually replied, but the thick, almost abyss-like emotion in his deep black eyes made it impossible to discern the meaning behind it, and one felt a chill for a moment.
He didn't continue the conversation, but waved his hand and said, "I'll go to the vending machine to buy a can of coffee, Captain Long."
"Okay, I'll let you know if there's any new information later."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shihe simply nodded, taking it as an agreement. He then turned and walked out of the police station, arriving at a vending machine on the roadside outside, where he took out his phone.
His tall figure hunched slightly, his spine like a bow and arrow, exuding a chilling sharpness.
Jiang Shihe casually pressed a button on a can of coffee, paid for it, and went to pick it up.
But as he held the coffee can, Jiang Shihe's hand suddenly froze. He lowered his head, his gaze falling on the white paper strip clipped to the coffee can, his eyes becoming completely obscure.
"It's finally here again."
"My perverted, wicked young lady..."
