The fox-woman and the panda-man both looked at Lin Yue, who was wearing a paper bag, with the same gaze they had given her as if she were crazy.

At this moment, in their eyes...

Even the comical paper bag exudes a sense of madness.

Lin Yue, however, didn't seem to care much about this. Instead, she looked directly at the panda man and asked, "You can check now; you don't have those strange things on you yet."

The panda man then came to his senses and quickly began to frantically search his body.

But after touching it for a long time...

Then, in an incredulous tone, he said, "It seems... it's gone."

Lin Yue nodded.

This is exactly what I was thinking.

Compared to those three eerie teeth, the staff outside were clearly more terrifying.

So when these two come together...

Like a flood meeting a candle flame, the even weaker teeth were completely suppressed and unable to move.

"You're probably alright now, but the question is, where should we go next?" Lin Yue asked.

The fox-woman paused for a moment, then suggested, "I... don't have any clue yet."

The panda man looked at Lin Yue and reacted similarly.

"Me too."

"Then let me suggest one: the reception desk at the entrance downstairs," Lin Yue said.

"Why?" the fox woman asked, puzzled.

"I think that although this place has changed, the front desk manager, as one of the staff members, should be able to ensure his own safety. We can try to seek his protection."

After hearing this, the two fell silent instantly, looking thoughtful.

Lin Yue continued, "Moreover, there are two other very important things there."

"Firstly, since the receptionist is a staff member here, she should know a lot about what's going on here. We can go and ask her what's going on."

"Secondly, we need the resident registration form he has. If we can get this, we can contact more people trapped here and obtain more notes."

Upon hearing this, the panda man couldn't help but ask, "Are you really new here?"

The fox woman had the same question.

The man in the paper bag seems to have a lot of experience with these strange things.

Is he a seasoned professional?

Lin Yue didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "So you're saying you agree?"

But the two of them still hesitated.

Although going down to find the registration form is a very good idea.

But they are on the eighth floor, while the reception is on the first floor; the distance between them is just too long.

The longer the journey, the greater the chance of encountering ghosts, and thus the more dangerous it becomes.

This is the reason for their hesitation.

The panda-man said, "How about... we stay here? The room is fine now, isn't it?"

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he made his jinx.

The lights overhead immediately started flashing.

"Sizzle—sizzle—"

The filament, burned white, emitted a faint chirping sound.

"The lights are starting to give way. My room was like this before." The fox-woman looked up and nervously touched the backpack behind her.

"If this light goes completely off, will evil spirits come into this house?" Lin Yue glanced at her movements and suddenly became curious about the contents of the backpack.

It was the same before; whenever this woman sensed danger, she would instinctively put her hands on her backpack.

That backpack must contain her life-saving tools.

But what could it be?

Could it be a special piece of equipment like the one that cuts out one's own heart?

"It's highly likely. A room without lights is just as conspicuous as a lamp in the dark, which would easily attract ghosts," the fox woman said.

"It seems we have no other choice. Let's hurry and leave before the lights go out completely."

The panda man's entire body was radiating panic and hesitation.

"But, but..."

Lin Yue said bluntly, "If you don't want to, you can stay here by yourself."

The panda man's body stiffened instantly.

Is someone left here alone?

"Well, never mind then, I'll go with you."

Lin Yue instructed, "Let's go together then. But I'd like to remind you, don't look around or touch anything while you're going downstairs. Put your hands on the back of the person in front of you and go downstairs one by one."

"Who goes first? And who goes last?" the fox woman asked.

In this godforsaken place.

The one in the middle is definitely the safest.

The first and last ones are slightly more dangerous.

"Me," Lin Yue said decisively. "And then you go last, okay?"

The panda man's eyes immediately lit up with joy.

The fox-woman struggled for a moment, but eventually agreed. Before doing so, however, she gave the panda man a fierce warning: "If you're in the middle, no matter what happens, you're not allowed to do anything reckless, or I'll throw you out immediately!"

Despite being the smallest of the three.

But her imposing presence momentarily overwhelmed the burly panda man.

"Yes, yes."

Seeing that everything was almost arranged.

Lin Yue pointed to the increasingly dim lights overhead. "Let's hurry up and leave; it won't be long before they go out."

"Uh-huh."

After a quick discussion.

The three of them finally walked out of the room in a line before the lights went out.

They walked nervously, each one of them holding onto the back of the person in front of them.

At this point, the staff in black uniforms outside the building had already left while they were talking.

All that was left was a large amount of blood on the ground.

Smelling the nauseating stench in the air, the fox woman and the panda man couldn't help but tense up, their breathing becoming rapid.

Lin Yue didn't say much about it.

After all, he himself was somewhat afraid.

However, this is not a bad thing.

When facing evil spirits, maintaining a degree of fear without losing composure can help you think more clearly in crucial moments.

Under the dim yellow light of the corridor.

Lin Yue bowed as she walked forward and said, "You two look at the back of the person in front of you. Whatever you do, don't look at the wall. There's a ghost on that wall."

This refers to the murals on the walls above the seventh and eighth floors.

He almost fell for that thing before.

The two men became even more nervous and quickly focused their attention on their noses, mouths, and minds.

Lin Yue looked straight ahead, ignoring the mural on the wall at the stairwell next to her, and walked to the elevator.

At this moment, the fox-woman at the back couldn't help but whisper, "Wait? You're going to take the elevator? If we encounter those things inside, won't we have no room to escape?"

Lin Yue explained, "Actually, they're pretty much the same. The stairs take longer, while the elevator makes it harder to escape. Both ways of going downstairs have their drawbacks. However, the elevator is a small space, so even if there's a ghost inside, there will only be one. But if it's the stairs... well, it's hard to say. If you're unlucky, there could be ten."

"..." The fox-like woman gritted her teeth. "Fine, let's take the elevator then."

Anyway, I have a talisman... so the danger isn't too great.

The three of them walked to the elevator door one after the other.

Because they were following Lin Yue's orders, they didn't see the painting at the top of the stairs, and they didn't encounter anything strange on the way.

At that moment, Lin Yue pressed the elevator button.

The numbers at the entrance changed rapidly.

A dozen seconds later, the elevator doors opened instantly.

"bite--"

With a soft sound.

A masked body, lying tragically inside the elevator, appeared right before their eyes.

The corpse's skin was torn open, and the copious amount of blood that flowed out stained the elevator floor red. The frozen terror in its eyes before death now stung their senses like needles.

The panda man was trembling all over.

The fox woman was slightly better, but her voice was still a bit hoarse.

"So, do we still need to take the elevator?"
