Chapter 14 Communication
Chapter 14 Communication
"Why is there another Jiang Li there?"

Feng Xinghan's words startled everyone at first, and then a deep chill surged into their hearts. They stood up immediately and avoided Jiang Li who was lying on the sofa.

Jiang Li's expression turned very ugly. She didn't explain anything, but just followed everyone's gaze and looked towards the stairs.

The hotel has a total of six floors. In addition to the two elevators that go up and down, there is also a staircase that connects the first floor to the sixth floor, which also serves as an emergency escape route.

At this time, at the stairs on the first floor, a person who looked exactly like Jiang Li was standing there!

She stared at everyone, her eyes especially flickering at Jiang Li. Then, without saying a word, she turned around, went down the stairs, and disappeared.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. She ran away. It seemed that... "she" must be fake.

"That 'Jiang Li', is it a ghost in disguise?" Li Yuejun felt his hands and feet go cold. Two identical people appeared in front of him. It was too weird.

"Ah."

There were two voices answering her, one was Xu Zhian, and the other was Bai Yanliang.

Hearing Bai Yanliang's voice, Xu Zhian was also a little surprised.

"Do you know what this ghost is capable of?"

Feng Xinghan walked over while staring at the stairs.

Xu Zhian nodded, looking at Feng Xinghan with a somewhat absent-minded gaze.

"You may not believe it, but actually, until ten minutes ago, I have been being hunted by 'you'." Xu Zhian said while looking at Feng Xinghan.

"I?"

Feng Xinghan was completely confused. He also sat on the sofa, looking at everyone in confusion.

Seeing everyone's gaze focused on him, Xu Zhian took a deep breath and told them what had happened to him.

"So, you mean that you were unknowingly approached by a ghost disguised as 'me' and then entered the room of a waitress named Zhang Wen?"

Feng Xinghan's eyes were solemn and his body was tense.

Xu Zhian nodded vigorously.

Then he looked at Bai Yanliang again.

"Mr. Bai, you seem to know that the ghost has the ability to disguise itself?"

Xu Zhian's question drew everyone's attention to Bai Yanliang.

In fact, although Bai Yanliang had always behaved normally, it was this normality that attracted more and more attention from everyone.

It had nothing to do with anything else, it was simply because... he was too normal.

He seemed to accept the fact that there were "ghosts" in this world as a matter of course, entered Wu Ji as a matter of course, and even took the curse mission as a matter of course!
From beginning to end, Bai Yanliang did not show any emotions such as fear, complaint, anger, or dejection. If people did not know that Bai Yanliang was indeed a newcomer, they would even think that he was a native of the past world.

This Bai Yanliang seems a little weird...

This is the general impression that the four people currently have of Bai Yanliang.

At this moment, Bai Yanliang still looked calm and composed. He glanced at everyone and said seriously, "Actually, when I just woke up, I saw the ghost who could disguise himself."

"what?!"

"You've seen it? When you just woke up? What happened!?"

Everyone was caught off guard by Bai Yanliang's sudden news.

There was nothing else to it. The key point was that Bai Yanliang acted too normal. He didn't seem to realize how horrifying this matter was! "Yeah. When I just woke up, Mr. Xu Zhian knocked on my door. I looked out through the peephole and 'he' looked exactly like Mr. Xu."

"You didn't open the door for him?" The person who asked the question was Li Yuejun. The woman frowned at the moment, her hands were nervously clenched together, and she stared at Bai Yanliang.

Bai Yanliang shook his head and expressed his speculation at the time.

"I determined that the 'Mr. Xu' who appeared at that time was not him, because I could not find a reason for Mr. Xu to act like that, so I did not open the door for him."

Bai Yanliang said it lightly, but it made everyone shudder.

They couldn't imagine what would happen after Bai Yanliang opened the door, and they couldn't imagine whether they would open the door if they encountered the same thing...

After thinking about it, goosebumps suddenly appeared.

Because after asking ourselves, we all found that... we are very likely to open the door to "Xu Zhian"...

Thinking of this, the way they looked at Bai Yanliang changed.

This newcomer not only won't be a drag, but also... has an extremely calm mind, clear thinking, and a unique perspective...

"I didn't expect that I had also been disguised by it. But it's good this way, at least we can confirm the ability of this ghost." There was a trace of relief on Xu Zhian's pale face.

Bai Yanliang looked at the few people with a little doubt.

His undisguised doubts were quickly noticed, and Li Yuejun said, "Ghosts that appear in time-limited missions will only have one kind of strange power: teleportation, anti-gravity, huge force, mutation, dreaming, and this time, the strange power of disguising as a human. Now that it has shown its disguise, it will never have other strange powers. This is the rule, the rule of Wu Ji."

Bai Yanliang nodded in understanding and made a rough guess himself. After all, it took the ghost almost a minute to get down from the fourth floor to the first floor.

"But...is that Zhang Wen a ghost?" Xu Zhian asked again.

Everyone was silent, only Feng Xinghan suddenly raised the notebook in his hand and said:

"She shouldn't be a ghost."

"I remember you said you went to Yingcheng Daily Newspaper Office? Did you find out?" Xu Zhian quickly sat up straight and asked.

The so-called Yingcheng Daily is the name of the newspaper that everyone saw at breakfast before, and Yingcheng is here, a small town located at the 9th time node.

The reason why time is used as a marker is because in the real world, there is also Yingcheng and... Ruyi Hotel.

Hearing the question, Feng Xinghan did not keep the question secret and opened his notebook.

"Yes, I found out. In fact, it was Zhang Wen who leaked the news of the disappearance of Li Yuhua, the wife of hotel owner Ding Lei, through the newspaper."

"Is it really her..." Xu Zhian was not surprised by this information, but it did rule out the possibility that Zhang Wen was a ghost.

Because "ghosts" would never do such a thing, or in other words, the methods of "ghosts" are very direct.

"But why did she release this news?" Xu Zhian asked again.

"Hehe... put pressure on her. After all, she is Boss Ding's mistress." Li Yuejun revealed information about another person that no one else knew.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Li Yuejun looked a little unnatural, but still said, "Jiang Li and I went to Ding Lei's office earlier and found a love letter written by Zhang Wen to Ding Lei in his drawer."

Everyone suddenly realized, but Bai Yanliang frowned slightly.

Things are getting more confusing.

Bai Yanliang was hiding something, for example... the female ghost under the bed, her name was Zhang Qiao!
She is Ding Lei’s sister-in-law, so...what about Ding Lei’s brother?
Is this disguised ghost a man or a woman? Who is his true identity?

Moreover, according to Xu Zhian, Zhang Wen's behavior was extremely strange, as if she was crazy, but... Bai Yanliang felt that she seemed to be consciously cooperating with the ghost's actions...

why?
