Who says vengeful ghosts can't go on blind dates?

After finishing the banquet, Ren Zhizhe drove the ghost car back home.

The Northern Wilderness Hotel... To be honest, he had only heard of it, but had never been there.

As for the food, considering the time they arrived at the hotel, it wasn't served particularly late.

But judging from the appearance and taste, Ren Zhizhe felt that only the first batch of food served was decent.

In the second round... well, he didn't touch his chopsticks.

The food in the second round was so bad that he didn't want to touch it at all.

As for the taste? It was probably alright, considering the people at Sunset Cinema seemed to be enjoying their meal.

However, he still couldn't bring himself to eat it.

He simply couldn't bring himself to eat those dishes that were arranged in the shape of excrement.

But the people at the Sunset Cinema seemed to be enjoying their meal? Hmm, maybe it's just a matter of personal taste.

Ren Zhizhe chooses to respect others, and then keeps his distance.

"The matter with Sunset Cinema is now settled."

Then you can focus on dealing with blind dates.

He has a lot of free time, but he doesn't know how his blind date is doing.

Then take some time to make a call and ask.

……

Beihuang Hotel.

Solitary confinement.

Jiang Xiaowei kept fiddling with the old radio.

Once inside the confinement room, the vengeful ghost staff will be forced into a deep sleep.

However, the solitary confinement room is for vengeful ghosts who have left their posts.

Humans do not fall asleep because of the rules of the confinement room. However, humans usually fare worse—if confined long enough, players may not only fail the mission but also die of thirst or starvation within the confinement room.

After figuring out just how much of a threat Ren Zhizhe posed, the faceless female ghost still followed the cameraman's advice.

But the price for leaving one's post without permission is being locked in solitary confinement.

Inside the confinement room, the faceless female ghost will fall into a deep sleep, at which point Jiang Xiaowei will regain control of her body.

But none of that mattered to the faceless female ghost.

When the time comes, she will be able to go to the hospital with her body.

When her body returns to normal, she will not hesitate to tear this eyesore of a human to shreds.

As for whether this human will escape from the confinement room?

This is simply not possible.

The faceless female ghost did not believe that anything could violate the rules of the solitary confinement room at the Northern Wilderness Hotel.

Although she did not read all of Jiang Xiaowei's memories, she firmly believed that this human could not possibly break the rules of the confinement room.

"Sizzle..."

At this moment, Jiang Xiaowei was still fiddling with the radio.

Jiang Xiaowei's goal was clear—she wanted to use the radio to contact Ren Zhizhe.

This was the only thing she could do, and her only chance.

However, it seems that the rules governing ghostly items are clearly no match for the rules governing solitary confinement.

Undeterred, she continued fiddling with the old radio. However, it was all in vain.

No matter how I turned the knob, the old radio never gave any feedback.

Jiang Xiaowei could only hear a series of crackling electrical sounds.

She became increasingly anxious.

Although the longer she is kept here, the longer she can live, she is still a human being after all.

Humans cannot live without food and water.

Keeping her locked up for a short time is fine. But the longer she's locked up, the worse her condition will become, and the lower her chances of surviving the vengeful ghost's control will be.

Just when Jiang Xiaowei was about to give up, the radio suddenly emitted a piercing scream.

She was startled and almost threw the radio away. But the faceless ghost fell silent instantly, not uttering a word, as if trying to listen intently, or perhaps simply being shocked.

"Sizzle... Jiang... Xiaowei... Sizzle..."

A broken male voice came through the radio.

Jiang Xiaowei's pupils suddenly contracted.

Is someone calling her name?

She immediately glanced at the knob and confirmed that this was the channel for vengeful spirits; the person on the other end calling her must be a vengeful spirit.

A vengeful ghost?

Few vengeful spirits know her name. Could it be Ren Zhizhe?

Jiang Xiaowei gripped the edge of the radio tightly. She continued to adjust the radio, seemingly trying to hear more from the other end.

"Sizzle..."

Seeing that the radio still had a lot of static, Jiang Xiaowei quickly began to carefully fine-tune it.

Her heart was beating very fast.

This is an opportunity.

We must seize this opportunity!

"Sizzle... sizzle..."

"Sizzle...faster...sizzle..."

"quick?"

Jiang Xiaowei was somewhat puzzled.

What does this mean?

"Hurry up what?" Does it mean she should do something quickly?

Should I urge her to reveal her location quickly so that the other party can save her?

There was just too much background noise. The other end probably couldn't hear what she was saying either, so Jiang Xiaowei didn't answer and continued adjusting the settings.

"Sizzle...you...sizzle...please..."

Would you mind?

Jiang Xiaowei hesitated slightly as she adjusted the radio channel.

Ren Zhizhe could not possibly address her as "you" (formal).

So, what exactly is on the other end of the radio?

Should we stop now? It seems like it's not too late.

but……

Jiang Xiaowei took a deep breath and continued adjusting.

Ren Zhizhe wouldn't use the formal "you" (formal) with himself, but what about other people or vengeful ghosts?

The other person might not be talking to her, but to someone else or a vengeful ghost.

Jiang Xiaowei convinced herself in this way.

"Sizzle..."

"Hello. I am... Zzz... Here is your... Zzz..."

This time, the sound from the radio was much clearer.

However, Jiang Xiaowei's hands, which were adjusting the knob, had frozen.

That's not Ren Zhizhe's voice.

The male voice was so unfamiliar; she was certain she had never heard it before.

Now, she was certain that the person on the other end of the radio wasn't Ren Zhizhe, but a vengeful ghost she didn't recognize.

Should we seek help from a strange, vengeful ghost?

But what's the difference between doing that and begging for help from a hungry lion in the mouth of a wolf?

Jiang Xiaowei was already considering cutting off the radio signal. But she wanted to try again, to try changing the channel.

So she reached out and turned another knob.

"Buzz... Hello, I am..."

Rotating the knob is completely useless.

The voice of that vengeful ghost was still coming from the radio.

Jiang Xiaowei's fingers hovered above the knob, appearing to tremble slightly.

The sound from the radio continued. Although it was somewhat intermittent, it became clearer and clearer.

"Sizzle..."

"Buzz... Hello. I'm the deliveryman for this delivery. Here's your package. Please come and sign for it quickly with the money."

This time, Jiang Xiaowei heard the entire conversation. But the moment she heard that sentence, her expression changed several times.

express delivery.

Was it the thing she bought from the weird in-game store?

At the time, she thought that two ten-yuan ghost coins and one twenty-yuan ghost coin were equivalent, but that was not the case.

The bizarre game didn't even give her a heads-up; instead, it tricked her, making her find the money to pay offline herself.

"They found us so quickly...?"

This is truly one wave after another.

"Please pay the balance as soon as possible... *sizzle*"

This time, the ghost's voice was somewhat distorted.

Jiang Xiaowei was startled. She realized that her plan to contact Ren Zhizhe via the radio was completely ruined, so without delay, she quickly reached out to turn off the radio.

"Sizzle..."

An accident happened.

The radio cannot be turned off.

In her haste, Jiang Xiaowei repeatedly pressed and rotated the radio's off button.

However, this was completely useless and even caused a crack in the radio's casing.

Then, the radio emitted a faint hissing sound.

"Sizzle..."

The lights in the solitary confinement cell began to flicker.

Please pay the remaining balance now!

This time, the lights in the solitary confinement cell stopped flickering and went out instantly.

The solitary confinement cell was plunged into a deathly silence and darkness.

Suddenly, Jiang Xiaowei felt something pressing down on her head. Not only that, she couldn't even stretch out her limbs.

She groped around. Soon, she realized that she seemed to be locked inside some kind of box.

Did they just move her out of the solitary confinement room out of thin air?

"Is the lockdown over? Where am I...?"

The faceless female ghost woke up. But at the same time, a sudden jolt interrupted her words.

This jolt made Jiang Xiaowei and the faceless female ghost realize that they were trapped in some kind of small space.

For a moment, both the human and the ghost were a little panicked.

Jiang Xiaowei felt panicked subconsciously because of this sudden change.

The faceless female ghost has a lot to consider.

She first took a look. Although she could no longer control her original body after parasitizing Jiang Xiaowei, she could still feel the state of her original body.

She was certain that her body was still in solitary confinement.

This suggests that something has deceived the solitary confinement unit, leading them to mistakenly believe that "she" is still inside.

Is this the work of this human?

The faceless female ghost immediately began to search through Jiang Xiaowei's memories. Soon, she learned the whole story.

"A deliveryman?"

It seems that the guy who called himself the deliveryman was very familiar with the rules of killing in solitary confinement, and actually managed to circumvent them.

But don't worry too much, solitary confinement isn't so easy to fool.

It won't be long before the solitary confinement unit realizes what's happening, and then its rules for killing will force her back in. All she has to do is hold on until that moment.

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, they finally stopped swaying.

But this comes with a shrinking of space.

Jiang Xiaowei couldn't help but struggle, trying to break free from the space that bound her. The faceless female ghost didn't stop her, but did nothing else.

"Pfft!"

This space is surprisingly unstable.

Jiang Xiaowei struggled for a few moments and managed to poke a hole in what appeared to be a wall.

She tore it open through the hole and discovered it looked like a cardboard box.

Anyway, she tore open the cardboard box and crawled out.

There is light outside.

But there are also several rows of shelves.

The shelves were packed with express delivery packages, and they had just been inside one of those cardboard boxes.

This is... a post station?

"What have you provoked?" the faceless female ghost asked in confusion.

To be able to capture someone from the Northern Wilderness Hotel, the person either exploited a loophole in the rules or possesses considerable strength.

The faceless female ghost leans towards the former. If it's the latter, it will inevitably cause a conflict of rules, resulting in one of the inn or the Northern Wilderness Hotel suffering losses.

"Where is this... um?" Suddenly, Jiang Xiaowei's gaze fell on the beam above the shelf.

This crossbeam seems to be very tall.

If you tie a rope to it, it might be a good place to hang yourself.

She began to subconsciously look around, seemingly searching for a rope. But just as she was about to take action, Jiang Xiaowei realized she couldn't move her body.

The Faceless Woman had regained control of her body. Or rather, ever since they discovered they were inside a new, active building, the Faceless Woman had taken over her body.

It was at this moment that she seemed to have just woken up, breaking free from that strange state.

rope?

suicide?

What happened just now? Why would she think that?

Jiang Xiaowei quickly came up with the answer—it was a shady real estate agent.

The murderous rules of the ruthless broker also apply to himself.

She had thought the suicide suggestion had been eliminated by the faceless ghost's rule-fighting tactics. But now it seems the faceless ghost didn't care at all.

Fortunately, she didn't actually try to kill herself. After being dragged to this place, the faceless female ghost regained control of her body.

Under the control of the faceless female ghost, she couldn't even move, let alone commit suicide.

"If they exploited a loophole in the solitary confinement rules..."

The faceless female ghost took out Jiang Xiaowei's radio.

"Buzz... Please pay the balance immediately..."

Is this the thing?

The faceless female ghost considered destroying the radio, but then changed her mind and abandoned the idea.

Destroying the radio probably wouldn't help.

The radio couldn't possibly transmit a signal. In other words, some vengeful ghost must have sought them out on its own initiative.

Since the other party has this capability, even if we smash the radio now, it probably won't change anything.

Thinking of this, the faceless female ghost pressed the radio directly against the back of Jiang Xiaowei's head, intending to use the rules of murder to forcibly shut down the radio.

"Zzzzz... Please pay within one week for a fresh ghost heart weighing more than 293 grams."

The faceless female ghost succeeded.

The radio also came at a price.

Upon hearing this, the faceless female ghost let out a cryptic chuckle on the back of Jiang Xiaowei's head.

Cost? She never pays any so-called cost.

The faceless female ghost continued to press the radio closer to her face. The next moment, the radio broke down completely.

This ghostly item is ruined.

"You have nothing left now," the faceless female ghost said mockingly to Jiang Xiaowei.

That boning knife is quite a good thing. Since it can even kill itself, its killing rules must be at the level of a weak, vengeful ghost.

It's just a pity.

It was precisely because of the level of the weak ghost's killing rules that she didn't dare to touch it, and instead let the knife gather dust in the corner of the front desk.

She thought that by going through Jiang Xiaowei's memories, she could find out how to use that knife.

result?

This is truly disappointing for the vengeful ghost. Blinding oneself to the negative effects of the killing rules is tantamount to courting death. If one were to go on a rampage and hack at ghosts in the street, even a vengeful ghost would probably be doomed sooner or later.

The faceless female ghost looked around.

Since the goal is to hold out until the solitary confinement room is used to bring her back under the rules, it would be best to first understand the current situation.

She approached the shelf, carefully examined the items on it, and then stared at the post station sign on the package for a long time.

Just as Jiang Xiaowei was getting a little anxious, a snapping sound suddenly came from the post station.

It's footsteps!

The ghost that arrived was of medium height and wore a green baseball cap.

Please pay the remaining balance.

It's that vengeful ghost that claims to be a deliveryman!
