Chapter 13: Safe House has a time limit
The male ghost's eyes, which were torn into two halves, were fixed on Song Mang, full of resentment.

"Those are treasures I found with great difficulty. I paid everything for them. No one can touch them! No one can snatch them from me! You want to steal my treasures, you deserve to die, you deserve to die!"

"What treasure?" Song Mang asked doubtfully, "I came to this inn, but I didn't take anything."

But the male ghost kept shouting, "No one can touch my treasure. Anyone who tries to steal it will die!"

Can't touch?
Song Mang thought back to what happened in the dungeon, his eyes suddenly turned cold, "You stole the snake girl's things! You stole all the gold, silver and jewelry in the little girl's basket!"

"No... not..."

The male ghost's torn mouth opened wide, and he wanted to continue shouting, but suddenly a blue-green flame ignited on his body, instantly burning him to death.

He disappeared without even having time to scream, and the will-o'-the-wisp also scared the two little girls.

"That's scary, what is that?"

"I touched a little fire, it hurt so much, it almost burned me to death!"

The two little girls quickly hid beside Song Mang.

Xi Yu said nonchalantly, "What he was about to say involved spoilers, which was considered a violation of the rules, so the power of the copy wiped him out."

Song Mang glanced at Xi Yu thoughtfully, "You mean, he refuted me and said that he was not the one who stole the things. Is this a spoiler?"

Xi Yu: “No.”

Song Mang waited for a long time, but he didn't say anything.

She couldn't help but ask, "What is it that he's not? He's not a thief, or he's not refuting me? Why do you only say two words every time when it comes to the critical moment?"

Xi Yu said, "Sorry, I can't spoil the story."

Song Mang narrowed his eyes, "That is to say, you know the secret of this copy, and you know what that weird creature wanted to express just now? But you have never been here, why do you know so much about this copy?"

Xi Yu: "If you think I understand, then I understand."

Song Mang: “…”

Could she send this paper figure to destruction?

It’s so difficult to communicate with him!

Song Mang grabbed Xi Yu by the collar and threw him into the small dark room in her storage space. "Go in, you are useless!"

Xi Yu: “…”

Song Mang then looked at the other two little girls, who were standing quietly by the door.

Song Mang said, "Go downstairs and see if Xu Xuyang has got Xiaoya's white jade bodhi string."

"Good host."

The two little girls answered at the same time, and then their figures walked through the wooden door and went downstairs.

There were still some players downstairs who had not returned to their rooms, but they couldn't see the two paper figures.

The proprietress and the little girl were in the kitchen. Xu Xuyang came out of the kitchen with a pale face, holding a string of white jade Bodhi beads with a transparent and pure white color in his hand.

“I got it…I got it…”

He looked at the others in the hall and said thankfully, "Xiao Ya didn't do anything to me and even wished me good night. Does this mean that breaking these rules is no big deal?"

When Master Bai saw what he had in his hand, he said with satisfaction, "You're lucky that nothing happened. Tomorrow night, you give this thing to that bitch Lu Sisi and ask her to give it to the snake girl."

"Good good!"

Xu Xuyang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if he had escaped a calamity and believed that there would be blessings in the future.

As long as he is not allowed to come into contact with that terrifying snake girl, he will definitely be able to leave this copy alive!

As for others,
He was in no mood to sympathize with others right now!
He just wants to get out alive!

The two paper-made girls watched this scene not far away, and then they returned to the upstairs to find Song Mang. They told Song Mang everything that happened downstairs, and one of the girls even complained, "Master, this inn is so popular, the stairs are so crowded, there are people everywhere! It took me a long time to squeeze up!"

"Yes!" another little girl said aggrievedly, "When I came up, I felt a dirty hand touching me, but there were too many people, I couldn't see who it was!"

Song Mang's expression paused slightly.

There are only ten players participating in this copy, two of them have died just now, leaving only eight.

She and Lu Sisi were in the room, and from the sounds, Mr. Bai and Xu Xuyang were still downstairs. There were only four people on the stairs at most, so how could they feel crowded?

Wait, that's not right...

The two little girls are paper-made figures, but the "people" in the paper-made figures' mouths are not necessarily people!
Song Mang quickly asked them, "How many people are there on the stairs? Men and women, old and young?"

Girl 1: "There were more than people, both men and women, old and young. The men all looked fierce, I felt I was no match for them alone."

Girl 2: "They should all be evil spirits. It's a pity that the evil spirit just now was wiped out. If I can eat half of them, I can also upgrade some levels."

The level of the ghost card is linked to the level of weirdness. The three paper figures that Song Mang just burned are of the lowest level. They only have the strength of evil spirits and cannot even give away ghost cards.

Evil ghosts are one level higher than evil spirits. Only evil ghosts and above can give birth to ghost cards. The following levels are fierce ghosts, evil ghosts, Rakshasa, ghost generals, and ghost kings.

Above the King of Ghosts are the ghost immortals. The Black and White Impermanence, the Judge, the King of Hell and the like in the underworld are all ghost immortals.

Just as he thought of this, Song Mang heard the proprietress's voice coming from downstairs again.

"Guests, do you want to go to your rooms to rest? It's already very late, and I'm worried that you might get lost in the inn. It would be better for everyone to go back to your rooms to rest as soon as possible."

Someone asked, "The inn is such a small place, how could one get lost?"

The landlady said, "After midnight, people always get lost and disappear. As for why, I'm not sure. So if you want to go to the room upstairs, you must let me lead the way."

When everyone heard this, they felt a chill in their hearts and dared not stay downstairs any longer.

The rest of the people followed the proprietress up.

Inside Song Mang's room, a little girl poked her head through the wooden door and took a look outside.

She exclaimed softly, "Master, the landlady has a lamp in her hand. She came up with the lamp, and the people on the stairs and in the corridor screamed and hid away. They seemed to be very afraid of the lamp."

Song Mang thought about it and remembered that the proprietress would indeed carry a lamp every time she sent someone upstairs.

When the landlady sent her to the room, she was also holding an oil lamp in her hand.

She heard the proprietress remind her again, "Guests, please don't go out at night. Wait until the rooster crows in the morning. Otherwise, if you get lost in the inn, I will not be responsible."

Song Mang narrowed his eyes.

It seems that the safe house in this copy has a time limit. After twelve o'clock in the evening, the inn is no longer a safe house, and the rooms in the inn are the safe houses!
Song Mang called the two little girls back, played Landlord with them for a while, then sent them back to his space and prepared to take a nap.

No one can go out at night, and the snake girl has not appeared. We can't continue the task, so we might as well take a rest.

Song Mang had just fallen asleep for a short while when he heard a series of noisy noises in his ears.

First, she heard the familiar cry of Lu Sisi, followed by someone's terrified scream. She also heard heavy footsteps on the wooden floor, making loud thump thump noises.

The footsteps stopped at her door, and then there was the sound of something fiddling with the lock at her door.

There is no quiet time this night!
Song Mang opened his eyes with an irritated look, then found a pair of earplugs in the space and put them on.

The world instantly became clean.

When light came in from the window, Song Mang woke up and took off the earplugs.

She thought it would be the quietest at daybreak, but just as she took off her earplugs, she heard a scream coming from the door.

"Ah! Lu Sisi hanged herself in the room!"

At the other end of the corridor, another person's terrified cry was heard, "Xu...Xu Xuyang is dead too! He died in his own room, too!"
