Terror is resurging, but only I am.

Chapter 15: A Night Parade of One Hundred Demons!

Two marbles that can be touched, and four marbles that are temporarily useless.

A stiff male corpse.

A surveillance system covering the outdoor areas of the hospital.

Yan Ming stood in the monitoring room, summarizing all the resources he currently possessed.

His abilities are the Spying Ghost and the Doctor Ghost, but he cannot use them simultaneously; he must actively switch between them in his mind.

However, after several tests, Yan Ming's speed in switching ghost species was quite fast, and he was generally not affected by anything.

After all, they wouldn't use Doctor Ghost when they need to fight. Are they going to drag their paralyzed lower body into battle?
When switching, Yan Ming tried the rules of pretending to be a ghost again. Through two successful experiences of pretending to be a ghost and several failures, he summarized the pattern.

The ghosts that can be selected must be the kind that he has seen and had a deep connection with in reality, such as the spy ghost or the doctor ghost.

Characters like the cat-faced old woman, the beggar ghost, and the resonant ghost were not on his list of choices, possibly because they were not actually ghosts, but rather people dressed as ghosts.

After tallying his own power, Yan Ming turned his attention to someone he hadn't paid much attention to before.

Little boy.

This was also something I remembered after being reminded by the doctor. The little boy was a beggar ghost created by the hospital. He was human when he was asleep, but he would probably revert to his beggar ghost state soon after waking up.

According to Wang Ming, this little boy should be able to be used.

If hospitals treat patients like handy tools, then they won't be too demanding about the privacy of those tools.

The person in the mirror can use ghosts, the doctor who jumped to his death can use ghosts, so Yan Ming should be able to as well, provided he finds the specific method.

To this end, Yan Ming found the surveillance footage from the fourth floor, especially the video footage of the doctor before and after releasing the resonance ghost.

After observing repeatedly, he discovered that the doctor had whispered something to the bag before opening it, but Yan Ming's ghost eyes were open from behind the doctor at the time, so he didn't see it.

Whispering?

Is it issuing commands to the ghost in the file folder?

No, the ghost isn't in the file folder.

Yan Ming looked at another surveillance camera, which was at the same time as the doctor's whisper.

In the surveillance footage from the sixth floor, the ward door was pushed open by something and slammed against the wall with a "bang".

Were the ghosts released from the hospital room?

To aid his judgment, Yan Ming deduced the time of the attack by the beggar ghosts and then conducted a preliminary investigation.

Sure enough, at some point, five hospital room doors opened simultaneously on the sixth floor, and you could vaguely sense that something had left the room.

Yan Mingshang still remembered that there were exactly five beggar ghosts.

The ghosts didn't come out of the file folders; that's the truth. If file folders could become Poké Balls that seal away ghosts, the effect would be far too incredible.

Therefore, the process of using ghosts may simply be to awaken a sleeping patient.

The file is only one of the reasons; the instructions received by the sleeping patient may very well have been issued by the monitoring system in the ward.

Otherwise, it's impossible to explain why the Resonance Ghost killed the doctor first; the doctor clearly didn't seem like someone willing to sacrifice himself.

Therefore, the person controlling the surveillance cameras in the wards, especially the surveillance cameras in the high-rise psychiatric wards, is probably Dr. Zhang.

It was an order directly given by Dr. Zhang.

"So it seems that we just need to give the order to the sleeping boy and then wake him up," Yan Mingxin thought.

He switched to the Doctor Ghost and asked him questions, using the "extra" characteristics of the Ghost Brain to confirm that his guess was valid. However, just to be on the safe side, he still thought of trying it in the Mirror Man's room, because there was a file folder there.

He tied the sleeping little boy to the chest of the male corpse, carefully using the survivor's body as a cover to avoid being noticed by Dr. Zhang when he appeared on the surveillance camera.

Yan Ming then simultaneously controlled his main body and the male corpse, walking step by step back to the first floor of the East Building's mild ward.

He moved slowly, but he was able to make sure he didn't give himself away under surveillance the whole time.

After nearly twenty minutes of movement, Yan Ming remained highly vigilant, constantly monitoring his surroundings, but he did not encounter another wave of ghostly attacks.

The doctor Zhang didn't seem to be in a hurry to use the ghost to kill him; he just wanted to restrain him first.

Although he wasn't a high threat, and the only ghost he controlled was the Spying Ghost, Dr. Zhang's conservative approach still made Yan Ming realize something.

Could it be that Dr. Zhang has something very important to do tonight and can't get away?
It's possible, because this guy ran downstairs around 8 o'clock to check on the old lady and me, almost as if he was confirming how dangerous we were.

He has more important things to do now, so he only uses the Resonance Ghost to protect the fourth floor, trying to buy time until the person in the mirror wakes up.

It seems that this doctor is severely understaffed; he actually has to wait for this person in the mirror with such a strict schedule.

Yan Ming used the mirror to look inside the room. There was still no one on the bed, which meant that the person in the mirror did not choose to sleep here.

Perhaps she's worried about having outsiders affect her sleep quality.

He then looked at the wake-up time on the person's schedule in the mirror, which showed 5:30.

Sleeping from 10:30 pm to 5:30 am is considered a very healthy and high-quality sleep.

Finally, Yan Ming checked his phone. It was exactly 12 o'clock. He still had five and a half hours before waking up, so there was no need to rush.

Suddenly, he felt his pocket getting a little hot and reached in to touch the heated marble.

Two of the six marbles heated up, but only for a few seconds. Yan Ming secretly took them out to take a look and found that the number of small balls inside these two marbles had increased.

Originally, it was a "thing" and a "movement," but now it has become "thing, disease" and "movement, thing."

What is this?
It's my turn, time to draw a card?
Yan Ming made a connection to mahjong and guessed what was going on.

Every day at 12 o'clock, a ball will be randomly refreshed from the remaining marbles that have not reached the limit.

However, he had four marbles that hadn't reached their limit, but now he only had two marbles to "draw cards," probably because there's a limit to the number of cards each person can draw per turn.

Yan Ming frowned slightly. He vaguely sensed that this meant the start of a new game, which meant one thing.

The existence of new card games means that there will be new players and new cards. By winning cards, players can unlock ways to escape from Wangcheng and even replicate the map rule of "pretending to be a ghost".
Although he was unsure of the rules for other maps, Yan Ming felt that rules like "pretending to be a ghost," which were varied and extremely flexible, definitely represented high quality.

It would be best if we could win this game.

Using the file folder, Yan Ming input his instructions and then woke up the little boy.

Just as he predicted, the little boy transformed into a physical beggar ghost immediately after waking up, and then executed the first command—

Look back.

Behind the beggar ghost was a ghost eye waiting to be deployed.

After confirming that the Spying Ghost had entangled the Beggar Ghost, Yan Ming immediately ran towards the West Building. At the same time, the Beggar Ghost also began to count silently in place, looking up towards the fourth floor of the West Building.

Yan Ming's chosen target was naturally Dr. Zhang. Since he had chosen to resist, he would make the situation as chaotic as possible.

Tonight, a hundred ghosts roam the night.
