Excessive ferocity due to caution

"Number 2, what do you mean?"

"What did you find?"

Number 2 was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice:

"Before the game started, we were all at the door, but he appeared right in the center of the room."

"And his behavior is not like that of a normal person."

"Most importantly... he doesn't seem to care about the existence of ghosts at all."

The group fell silent.

After this analysis by number 2...

Zhao Yi's suspicion suddenly increased significantly.

Could it really be him?

Doubts remained in everyone's minds.

Inside the toilet, Zhao Yi, who was washing the baby's bottom, suddenly felt a cool breeze.

He looked up and saw that the huge mirror had begun to slowly rot.

The mirror surface turned into flesh oozing pus.

A pair of pale hands broke through the mirror.

It showed no murderous intent; it simply handed Zhao Yi a note.

Zhao Yi took it and looked at it.

It is a picture.

Map of the 5th floor.

It also has three areas marked: green, yellow, and red.

At the bottom it says:

[There are no security cameras in the restroom; this image will be destroyed after viewing.]

[Upon reaching the 5th floor, first proceed to the green area, then through the yellow area to reach the red area.]

There's a special device inside, please destroy it!

...

[Player Zhao's side quest activated - Find the 'Energy Suppressor' on the fifth floor of the hotel and destroy it!]

[Mission Rewards: 1 damaged energy suppressor, 30000 points, and the power seal on all residents of the hotel is lifted.]

The system, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly announced the issuance of side quests.

Zhao Yi looked at the map in his hand thoughtfully.

"No wonder there are so many hidden cameras in the hotel."

"They probably wanted to film the entire process of this desperate game, including all the players involved..."

"The other party went to such great lengths to stage this scene at the hotel; there must be quite a few people watching behind the scenes."

"But most of these people are guests at the hotel, so it's unlikely they'll disrupt the normal operation of the hotel's games..."

"The guy who could secretly pass me this information must be someone inside the hotel..."

"And his power is definitely not insignificant."

Zhao Yi's eyes flickered.

"Things seem to be getting interesting."

What is he going to do?

He tore the paper into pieces and flushed it down the toilet.

Then, using my own undershirt, I made a simple diaper for the baby.

As usual, it was hung around my neck.

Pushing open the bathroom door, Zhao Yi found five people staring at him.

"What's wrong?"

Do you need to use the restroom?

Zhao Yi asked.

No. 4, cold and gloomy:

"You're that ghost, aren't you?"

Zhao Yi asked in surprise:

"How did you figure that out?"

Seeing this, number 2 also joined in, adding fuel to the fire:

"Out of everyone, you're the only one who's completely unhurried and relaxed!"

"There's only one truth... and that's that you yourself are the ghost, so you're not afraid!"

Zhao smiled and said:

"Is it possible... that I know who the ghost is?"

The group of people were stunned.

"You...know who the ghost is?"

Zhao Yi shrugged:

Just kidding.

"If you think I'm a ghost, then point me out in a bit."

He couldn't be bothered to explain.

Determining who the ghost is couldn't be simpler.

He also specifically reminded the remaining four players.

I reminded you twice.

pity……

These guys are so stupid.

The last three minutes passed quickly.

With trepidation, the players, guided by the man in the prisoner mask on the television, began to identify the ghost hidden among them.

Among them, Zhao Yi and No. 5 identified No. 4.

2、3、4、6号指认的1号。

The identification process is complete.

The players present felt an indescribable tension!

The moment of judgment... is approaching!

Almost everyone's eyes were focused on Zhao Yi!

Is he... a ghost?

stab-

The lights flickered a few times and then suddenly went out.

Several heart-wrenching screams rang out.

The lights are turned up again.

There are three mutilated, headless corpses on the ground.

It's numbers 2, 3, and 6.

Their heads were gone.

Blood flowed all over the ground.

Number 4, however, mysteriously disappeared.

Number 5's legs were trembling.

He glanced at Zhao Yi, his lips trembling as he said gratefully:

"Thanks."

Zhao Yi glanced at him, shook her head, and left on her own.

The door to the fifth floor has been opened.

Number 5 watched Zhao Yi's departing figure, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

Zhao Yi did indeed remind them twice.

at first,

He also felt that Zhao Yi was the ghost.

But then, a light suddenly flashed through his mind, and everything became clear.

Actually, they had just checked each other's bodies.

Whether it was the shadow, the pulse, the breath... even the ghost disguised the scars on its fingers very well.

But it missed one thing.

That's a fatal flaw.

It had no food or water on it.

From Zhao Yi's carefree eating of the strange-flavored broad beans at the beginning, to his sudden standing up and saying that the baby had defecated on his chest... it all tells everyone the most fundamental difference between humans and ghosts—

Humans need to eat, drink, and excrete.

But ghosts don't need that.

So, how could someone who could reach the fourth level in such harsh conditions not have any food and water on them?

Recalling Zhao Yi's behavior just now, he no longer thought Zhao Yi was a mentally ill madman.

He only felt a lingering fear...

Such an opponent...

Once he reaches the fifth floor, what will he have to compete with the other party?

P.S.: I'll stick with 6000 words for now.

Surprisingly, there are very few Kaven players left.

Although there is an outline to set the direction, when it comes to the details, I can't put pen to paper for half a day.

That's all for now, goodnight my darlings!
