Chapter 25 Solve the doubts
Chapter 25: Unraveling the Mystery

"Anyway, we've already found two bodies. Now what we have to do is much easier. Find the murderer and force him to reveal the murder method and the murder weapon, and we'll be halfway there."

Xu Zhian breathed a sigh of relief. This was only the first day and the time limit for this mission was seven days. He had never expected the progress to be so fast, but he also hadn't expected the level of danger this time to be so high!
It is extremely rare to encounter an evil spirit and almost lose your life on the first day of a week.

Wu Ji's mission seemed to... suddenly become more difficult and terrifying.

This is only the third task. You know, the third task is relatively the easiest.

Yu Hanzhou is on a survival mission...

When he thought of this, Xu Zhian's expression suddenly changed.

wrong!

Yu Hanzhou’s survival mission is the second one!

Could it be that... Wu Ji "thinks" that Wei Xiu's time-limited mission is even more terrifying than the survival mission?
"Brother Xu, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Li accidentally saw Xu Zhian's expression, thinking that he had discovered something unusual, and asked hurriedly.

Xu Zhian shook his head palely and said nothing.

Why did Wu Ji suddenly undergo so many incomprehensible changes?
The newcomers became the Haunters, but the survival mission was only ranked second. And... the evil spirit seemed to be getting more and more manic... He actually wanted to kill them on the first day...

What's going on……

At this time, Bai Yanliang suddenly spoke.

"Ms. Jiang, Mr. Xu is injured, please take care of him. I suddenly remembered something, so..." Bai Yanliang's excuse was lame. He had said this several times that he suddenly remembered something, but his attitude was very clear.

Next I will act alone.

Jiang Li was not stupid, so he naturally understood the implication of his words and felt a little disappointed.

She knew that Bai Yanliang making the right choice by acting alone was indeed the right choice.

After this series of events, both Jiang Li and Xu Zhian realized that they must not treat Bai Yanliang as an ordinary newcomer.

He is sharp, smart, mobile, and has excellent physical strength. Most importantly... he doesn't seem to be afraid of ghosts at all.

The two couldn't even imagine an expression of fear on Bai Yanliang's delicate face.

"Well, I will take good care of Brother Xu."

Jiang Li looked at Bai Yanliang and said seriously.

Bai Yanliang nodded and felt relieved.

Frankly speaking, Jiang Li and Xu Zhian were a bit of a hindrance to him.

But...Bai Yanliang doesn't mind this burden.

Don’t humans all live with a burden?

Before leaving, Bai Yanliang looked back at the two of them and suddenly said, "Pay attention to the water."

Jiang Li and Bai Yanliang looked at each other, then looked at Bai Yanliang at the same time and nodded seriously.

Seeing this, Bai Yanliang didn't say anything more and turned around and went down the rooftop.

He had many questions that needed to be answered.

Two bodies have now been found. According to Jiang Li's description, the cause of death of the female corpse could not be seen, but her body was swollen.

As for the male corpse, he was smashed beyond recognition and it was hard to tell who he was.

The cause of death of the man may still be questionable, but the purpose of smashing his face is obvious.

The reason is not complicated. Perhaps it is out of emotion. The murderer knows the deceased and he (she) cannot face the deceased's face. Or, he (she) hates the deceased's face so much that he (she) wants to smash it after death.

Or maybe, after smashing the dead person's face, he (she) will gain some kind of benefit...

If it was the first reason, then things would be simple. If it was the second reason, then… the person who hadn’t appeared until now would be a big problem.

Although Bai Yanliang always felt that there was something wrong with him.

After all, the only person who is still alive and most deeply involved is the one who has not yet appeared - Ding Lei.

While thinking, Bai Yanliang pressed the elevator button.

He didn't care whether the ghost would appear or not. In fact, Bai Yanliang already had a rough guess about how the ghost would kill people. And... he had also reminded Xu Zhian and Jiang Li.

That is... water.

In every encounter, he discovered the existence of this thing.

Maybe... ghosts use water as a medium to kill people.

Although the speculation was reasonable, Bai Yanliang always felt that something was wrong.

He is not a god, and although he cares about this awkward feeling, he can't find it.

At the moment, he has no better solution. After all, humans are always on the passive side in the fog.

After getting out of the elevator, Bai Yanliang returned to the first floor again.

This hotel is not small.

He turned around and around, following his memory of his previous encounter with Xu Zhian, and found the staff rest area.

This is also the reason why Bai Yanliang is unwilling to act together with Xu Zhian and Jiang Li.

If Xu Zhian knew that Bai Yanliang had returned to the place where he had encountered a ghost before, his expression would definitely be very interesting.

If I remember correctly, Xu Zhian was talking about the end of the corridor, next to the toilet.

Bai Yanliang walked while looking up and observing.

Apart from anything else, Boss Ding Lei is quite nice to his employees. Each of them has a single room on the first floor.

Soon, Bai Yanliang stopped in front of the house next to the toilet.

This should be it.

It is still daytime, but the lighting here is not good. A dim yellow light hangs dimly in the corridor. I don't know if it is the toilet or something else, but a faint strange smell has been lingering since the first moment Bai Yanliang stepped into the corridor.

The snow-white painted wall was scratched with meaningless marks by someone's fingernail.

The floor at the entrance of the toilet was covered with water that had been spilled randomly after cleaning. It lay quietly on the ground, and its color was a little black under the dim light, just like... blood flowing out of the floor.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"

Bai Yanliang knocked on the door.

The atmosphere around was weird and dangerous.

But... even he has to risk his life. This is the fog... It is like a joke played by the god of death. Only God knows where it hides life.

What Bai Yanliang is doing now is just to resolve the doubts in his heart.

As for safety? He couldn't guarantee it. After all, who could guarantee absolute safety in such a hellish place?
The door opened quickly.

"You are……"

Zhang Wen looked normal, and looked at Bai Yanliang with a wandering gaze.

"reporter."

As Bai Yanliang spoke, he took out a piece of paper and pen from his pocket, which were left over from drawing the sketch.

"Didn't a reporter come here before? Your newspaper is really weird..."

Zhang Wen looked a little doubtful, but when she saw that Bai Yanliang looked normal, she believed it a little.

But Bai Yanliang paid attention to what Zhang Wen said.

A reporter came...

In her opinion, it is "one".

She really knew about the existence of the unrecognizable ghost who could only disguise himself as someone else.

Then, Bai Yanliang sat down next to Zhang Wen's desk without any hesitation, crossed his legs, held a pen and paper in his hand, and asked:

"Tell me, Miss Zhang, what do you want to tell us?"
