The Pseudo-Human Academy: Starting with a Bricklayer Personality

Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this.

"Exactly the same?"

Ye Ningyun looked at Xu Feng and asked again:

"Are you sure this ghost bride is Dong Yu from the video?"

Xu Feng smiled calmly and said lightly:

"I'm sure. I have a lot of experience dealing with people, and I can tell at a glance that this is the same person."

Lin Shouyi also spoke up:

"According to Brother Xu Feng, does that mean the information in this video is fake?"

Ye Ningyun stroked her chin, pondering:

"It's not necessarily all fake; it might be a mixture of truth and falsehood."

"Based on current information, the room and elevator are temporarily safe, which is confirmed in this video."

"Since the ghost bride in the corridor is Dong Yu in disguise, he must be trying to mislead us about some message."

"For example, we might as well destroy the real ghost bride's limbs and torso to achieve his goal!"

"The information we have so far is that the ghost bride wandering in the corridor is Dong Yu in disguise, and Dong Yu has become a ghost, so his words cannot be completely trusted."

"However, let's collect the ghost bride's limbs and head first before making any further plans. I suspect that this real ghost bride is the key to our escape from the hotel, so we must treat her with utmost care."

Xu Feng nodded approvingly, surprised that Ye Ningyun was so quick-witted and had grasped the crux of the problem so soon.

It seems he doesn't need to remind him specifically.

Meanwhile, in the live stream room.

Ming Sao Yi Duo (Hua): "Six hundred and sixty-six, the Bloody Gentleman saw right through Dong Yu's disguise as a ghost bride."

Hidden clues are hard to guard against (Hua): "Only a bloodthirsty gentleman with rich experience in dealing with people can see through them at a glance!"

The legendary sage (Hua): "Dong Yu: It's transparent! It's damn transparent! How can we play without disabling it?"

The legendary conman (Hua): "This Ye Ningyun is indeed something. Based on the information provided by the Bloody Gentleman, she quickly determined that the information in this video was half true and half false."

"The key is indeed with the real ghost bride; I think I've already guessed how to escape."

Testicular War God: "I guessed it too. From God's perspective, based on the information that has been verified so far, the room and the elevator are safe zones. The fake ghost bride Dong Yu's power can indeed affect the room."

"But the message displayed on the TV screen at midnight is hard to say. There's still the hanged ghost that hasn't started harming people yet. If I'm not mistaken, the hanged ghost will come out to harm people tonight."

"The collection of limbs and heads was most likely a deliberate attempt to mislead the chosen ones into destroying those things."

"As it stands, the fake Ghost Bride Dong Yu is unable to get close to and destroy the Ghost Bride's limbs and head, so he needs to rely on the power of the Chosen Ones. The answer is already quite clear."

"There are three forces in this hotel: the Chosen Ones, the hotel manager Dong Yu and his staff, and the last force is the Ghost Bride."

Tumu Fortress War God: "As expected of a high-scoring War God, you analyzed the answer to the riddle clearly in just a few words. Now it's up to Ye Ningyun to decide what to do."

"Whether to believe Dong Yu or the ghost bride, as far as I can see, the real ghost bride has never harmed anyone, so I am more inclined to believe the real ghost bride."

Gentle Cat Girl (Hua): "Seriously, is this really a newbie dungeon? If it weren't for the information from the Bloodthirsty Gentleman, new teams coming to this amnesiac dungeon would most likely fall into preconceived notions and be wiped out!"

"This difficulty level is almost like an intermediate-level dungeon, isn't it?"

Prophet (Hua): "To be honest, this instance doesn't seem like one that newbies should be able to run. Two days have already passed, and today is the third day. If these chosen ones can't escape the Grand Hotel before the reckoning on the seventh day,..."

"Apart from the Bloody Gentleman, I doubt anyone will leave here alive."

"The Bloody Gentlemen have already made their answer clear in their faces. Hopefully, no one in the team will do anything stupid that increases the difficulty of the dungeon!"

…………

Finally, after some discussion, Ye Ningyun frowned, seemingly unsure of what to do.

But he still took a deep breath and said in a low voice:

"Let's find the ghost bride's limbs and head first! Only after we've collected all of these things can we make further plans."

"Okay!" Everyone nodded in agreement. For now, they could only take it one step at a time.

Just then, Zhao Daniu, who had been silent all along, scratched his messy hair and spoke in a muffled voice:

"But... we searched the entire eleventh floor of the hotel on the first day, turning every corridor upside down. Aside from those rooms we couldn't get into, if we could have found it, we would have found it already, right?"

These words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the passion that had just been ignited in everyone.

Yup!

Finding all five parts might be much more difficult than they imagined!

Even if you could search each room one by one, searching hundreds of rooms in a hotel is no small task, is it?

There are bound to be omissions.

The group exchanged bewildered glances, and the atmosphere grew heavy once more.

Ye Ningyun sighed:

"At this point, our only option is to find a way into the other rooms!"

"Zhao Daniu and Zhao Fei, you two are in charge of searching the stairwell; it hasn't been searched yet."

"The rest of you, come with me to the front desk! We need to figure out how to open the doors to the other rooms!"

With a clear objective and confirmation that the ghost bride wouldn't appear during the day, everyone became much bolder.

Without saying a word, Zhao Daniu and Zhao Fei turned on their phone flashlights and walked into the dimly lit stairwell.

Ye Ningyun then led the remaining people to search the front desk thoroughly, inside and out.

Room key? No.

The computer? Although it was turned on, there was no program inside that could control the door lock.

"That's strange..." Lin Shouyi was not giving up. He lay down on the cold marble floor, turned on his phone's flashlight, and tried to see through the gap under the front desk to see if he had missed anything.

Just then, a golden light flashed through the dark crevice.

"I've got it! There's a key in the gap under the reception desk!" Lin Shouyi shouted excitedly. "But I can't reach it. Anyone with strong hands, please hook it out!"

He tried to reach it, but his fingers were too thick, and he couldn't touch it no matter how many times he tried.

"I'll do it."

The girl who had been silently standing in the corner stepped out. She was petite and lay on the ground, extending two slender, white fingers to gently hook through the gap.

The rusty yellow key fell into her palm.

Seeing this, the obedient Liu Yu couldn't help but timidly ask a fatal question:

"But...this hotel has electronic locks, all opened with card swipes, there's nowhere to use a key...what's the key for?"
