I started on a rocking horse and relied on watching ads to dominate the highway survival charts.

When she asked this question, Huo Yunzhi secretly used the judge's skill to prevent the chef from lying.

Upon hearing this question, the head chef replied with trepidation, "Lord Ghost Messenger, you must be joking. How could I dare to pursue you?"

"Then you broke the rules?"

"No, no, to put it simply, the so-called mark means that you have attracted my hatred... uh, I mean, you have gained my attention, and the way you are hunted down is entirely up to me."

For example, let me give you an analogy: if I make you a phone call trying to make you laugh to death, or cook you a delicious meal hoping it will smell amazing, that would be considered "hunting you down."

"At this level... then I might have a hard time killing you, and you'll probably fail."

"It's alright, Lord Ghost Messenger. Failure is a part of life all the time!"

"You're quite philosophical."

"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Ghost Messenger!"

Having obtained the last piece of information she wanted, Huo Yunzhi prepared to set off for 309 without any further hesitation.

The twelve vengeful ghosts in the restaurant escorted her to the door, each with a worried expression on their face.

"Lord Ghost Messenger, you must stay safe!"

Huo Yunzhi knew they were worried that if she couldn't solve the pollution problem, they would completely lose their minds by seven o'clock the next day and become completely corrupted vengeful ghosts.

Therefore, they genuinely didn't want anything to happen to her.

But she didn't comfort them; she just waved and turned to leave the restaurant.

Just a few seconds after stepping into the corridor, Huo Yunzhi sensed something appearing behind her.

Turning my head, I saw a vengeful ghost dressed in a security guard uniform.

He stood on the fourth or fifth step, only his upper body was visible, and he tilted his head and looked at Huo Yunzhi expressionlessly.

"They arrived so quickly?" Huo Yunzhi raised an eyebrow. "Pretty fast."

Huo Yunzhi summoned the Karmic Fire Red Lotus to float beside her for protection, and also activated the Immortal's Guiding Hand in her hand.

The moment the sandalwood scent wafted out, a noose appeared in front of her.

Huo Yunzhi could tell that it desperately wanted to put it around her neck, but thanks to the double protection of the Immortal's Guidance and the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, the hanging rope couldn't touch her at all.

The magic pointer in her hand burned rapidly, and Huo Yunzhi was locked in a stalemate with the security guard.

When two-thirds of the incense stick had burned away, Huo Yunzhi suddenly put it back into her backpack, leaving only the Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

Without the sandalwood incense to restrain it, the hanging rope was closer, but it was still a few centimeters away from Huo Yunzhi's neck.

"Very good, Crimson Lotus is more than capable of countering the security ghost's mechanism."

Huo Yunzhi increased her confidence in the feasibility of her plan.

She bypassed the security guard and went straight upstairs to her room.

The hanging rope and the security guard followed closely behind her.

When she returned to the sixth-floor corridor, Huo Yunzhi suddenly tiptoed to hide her footsteps.

After all, the person in 404 can just wander around the whole floor freely.

Maybe if I make a louder footstep, it will attract his attention.

Huo Yunzhi remained silent throughout the journey and returned to her room safely.

As soon as they entered, they saw Xu Xiu and the other two nervously staring at the door.

"It's me." Huo Yunzhi slipped into the room.

Xu Xiu spotted the ghostly security guard closely following her at a glance. After making eye contact with the ghost, she quickly locked the door.

Huo Yunzhi laid out the cut-off safe zone on the ground: "Luckily, I didn't forget to bring this. Okay, now you can talk freely in the room, that guy in 404 can't hear you."

Qin Yuanshan stared in astonishment, his mouth agape: "Sister Huo, where did you get such an incredible thing?"

Miao Miao circled around Huo Yunzhi in surprise, saying, "Sister, is it too easy for you to be so stubborn?!"

Compared to the two's surprise, Xu Xiu didn't react much.

Huo Yunzhi beckoned, and several people sat down in front of the sofa: "I have a plan, but I can't carry it out by myself, so I need your help."

"No problem!" Qin Yuanshan was the first to respond.

"I can too." Xu Xiu had already worked with Huo Yunzhi many times, so she didn't hesitate much.

Miao Miao hesitated for a moment, but seeing how much Xu Xiu trusted Huo Yunzhi, she nodded and asked, "Miss, what do you want me to do?"

"Are you all aware that the service area is now completely contaminated?"

The three nodded in agreement.

Huo Yunzhi found a piece of paper on the coffee table and sketched a simple layout of the Lijing Hotel on it.

"The security ghost is now patrolling each floor, and the wandering ghost has also left room 404. If you go out rashly, you will surely die."

However, the rules state that the only way to verify the identity of guests and staff is through room keys and work badges. Before dinner time, if you don't have a work badge, you basically won't be able to leave the restaurant alive.

"Work permit..." Qin Yuanshan's eyes lit up, and he pulled a silver card from his pocket: "Can I use this cleaning work permit?"

"Where did this come from?" Huo Yunzhi was surprised that Qin Yuanshan actually had this thing in his hands.

"Didn't we just say we caught a cleaning lady ghost? I saw she really cherished her work ID, so we snatched it before we left."

Huo Yunzhi nodded: "That's enough. The plan I'm about to tell you, if executed properly, will lock both the security ghost and the wandering ghost in room 404 before mealtime."

But now, I need to understand... Miao Miao, your personal skills first.

"My skill is temporary tattoos. Anyone who puts a temporary tattoo on me can enjoy my buff. Although the duration is short, the cooldown is very short."

Miao Miao hesitated for two seconds, then rattled off all her skills like beans spilling out.

"Okay, now the plan has a higher success rate."

Huo Yunzhi took the medicine from Xu Xiu, then picked up Miao Miao's temporary tattoos, and finally, with her cleaning staff ID in hand, prepared to leave: "Then our operation officially begins!"

Because she is currently a staff member, the security guard ghost won't attack her; she just needs to avoid the walking ghost.

Huo Yunzhi's destination was the now empty room 404.

As soon as Huo Yunzhi left, Xu Xiu immediately began to feed Miao Miao various medicines that increased her spirit and health. Even though the total value had already exceeded the limit, it didn't matter if it stopped increasing, just so that Huo Yunzhi could always maintain the buff.

After receiving Huo Yunzhi's mission, Qin Yuanshan returned to Xu Xiu's room, grabbed the tightly bound cleaning ghost, and stuffed Xu Xiu's room card inside, turning the cleaning ghost into a guest.

Then, he activated the wall-penetrating ability at top speed and returned to the presidential suite.

"Hmm?" Qin Yuanshan looked down in confusion, clenching his fist tightly. His hand, which was losing strength, was trembling slightly.

"What was that just now...? Was it my imagination?"
