A dating guide turned into being surrounded by female ghosts?

"You're carrying a ghost?!" Lin Yue frowned, glancing warily at the large backpack on the fox-woman's body.

The fox-woman nodded and said, "Yes."

She was feeling very uneasy at that moment.

I'm very worried about what the paper bag person thinks of the evil spirit inside him.

But Lin Yue's reaction was beyond her expectations.

He simply uttered a flat "Mmm".

Then he turned around and continued walking forward.

The fox woman immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The two walked in the dark down the corridor for a while, pushing the doors of rooms 205, 207, and 211.

These were all things he had seen on the registration form before: two-story houses where people could live.

But after trying them all in the end...

They discovered that only the door to room 211, located at the very back, could be opened.

Lin Yue then quickly led the fox-woman inside.

"boom--"

The door slammed shut with a muffled thud.

Although the room was very dark, and you could only see things a few meters in front of you.

But once inside, they felt much more at ease.

Lin Yue took out her phone, which had no signal, and glanced at it.

It was exactly 23:00 PM.

That is to say, there is one hour and one minute left until 0:01 a.m. when the gates will open.

The fox-woman looked up at the room a few times and said with a puzzled expression, "Strange, why do I feel like there are far fewer ghosts?"

When she was upstairs, a large number of ghosts were running around the building.

As a result, after such a long time, the number of ghosts has decreased significantly.

Of course, this does not include the formal employees who wear black uniforms.

Lin Yue thought for a moment and explained, "It's probably because of those regular employees. Those guys seem to be deliberately hunting down the living people in the building. With such a powerful evil spirit roaming around, all the other ghosts naturally have to hide."

The fox woman nodded in astonishment.

Is that how it is?

At that moment, Lin Yue suddenly looked at her and asked, "What's with that ghost on you? Can it fight off the regular employees?"

I only asked a general question on the way here.

Now that we're settled, we should definitely ask more detailed questions.

After all, this could very well determine whether they can leave the building alive.

"I cannot say about the origin of this ghost, but as for how terrifying it is... I think it is much stronger than those employees," the fox woman said.

Lin Yue's eyebrows twitched slightly.

That sounds pretty good.

But he knew there must be something left unsaid, otherwise the woman would have released the ghost long ago.

Just as he expected, the fox woman continued, "However, I cannot control this ghost. It is extremely dangerous. Once released, it could kill everyone present, including you and me."

Lin Yue "·····"

So, sis, you've been carrying an atomic bomb on your back the whole time.

They inflict a thousand wounds on the enemy, but also lose eight hundred of their own.

You're really something else. You hurt the enemy a thousand, but you also lose a thousand yourself. Your main point is fairness.

He probably sensed that Lin Yue was very disappointed.

The fox woman quickly explained, "That's why I haven't dared to release it, unless it's absolutely necessary."

Lin Yue leaned her head weakly against the wall. "Then you shouldn't put it down."

The situation has not improved.

Not only can the heart-splitting knife be used only once or twice more.

He was even a little worried about the quality of the woman's backpack. What if the backpack suddenly broke during the escape?

Wouldn't that completely ruin everything?

Lin Yue was reluctant to speak, while the vixen dared not utter a word.

The room was as quiet as a graveyard.

When people are quiet, they tend to overthink.

I don't know why.

Lin Yue suddenly remembered the man wearing the clown mask.

He had always been deeply suspicious of the guy's background and behavior.

Now that I've calmed down, this feeling has become even more profound.

He even unconsciously muttered, "Could someone have broken that door at the entrance on the first floor?"

Upon hearing this, the fox-woman's eyes, hidden behind her mask, widened slightly.

"Impossible! How could a human possibly damage something in this godforsaken place?"

"What if that person has a powerful and bizarre relic?" Lin Yue retorted.

The origins of the eerie relics and the evil spirits are almost identical.

These two possess remarkably similar powers.

Something like that must have the ability to break down doors.

The fox-like woman was still suspicious: "But... why would that person do that? Damaging the door, was it to escape earlier?"

Lin Yue didn't answer proactively, but shook her head and suddenly asked a question in return.

"What brings you here?"

The fox-woman was about to blurt out the answer in her mind as a reflex, but ultimately, out of some concern, she said, "Yes, in order to find the strange relics."

"Of course, we came here for the eerie relic. That's what most people here think. But Pingxiang Garden is so big. Even without counting the stairs and corridors, there are nearly a thousand rooms. With so many rooms, who knows where that eerie relic is? How could one person possibly find it, not to mention there are so many ghosts here?"

"This..." The fox woman was speechless for a moment.

Lin Yue suddenly looked at her, staring directly into her eyes. The oppressive feeling instantly overwhelmed her, making her heart beat faster.

"Guess what I would do if I were in your shoes?"

The fox-woman was a little confused; how did the topic jump to this again?

But she still cooperated and asked, "How do I do it?"

"Smash the door! Make chaos in the whole building, let those ghosts drive all the living people living here down, and then search among them! That way, maybe one unlucky soul will be lucky enough to find something!"

The fox-woman was startled and couldn't help but admire him.

This is indeed a good method; at least it has a much higher success rate than searching the entire building by yourself.

Furthermore, a group of people gathered together can even help block those evil spirits, thus increasing their safety.

But... isn't this method too vicious?

Isn't this tantamount to paving the way for oneself with human lives?

The fox-like woman quietly moved a little further away from Lin Yue.

Are you suspecting someone?

A certain person's image flashed through Lin Yue's mind, or rather, that unforgettable mask flashed through her mind.

"That clown."

"Hmm? Him?"

"Of course, it seems like an accident on the surface, but don't you think he was prepared way too thoroughly? So thoroughly that it's as if he had rehearsed it beforehand. Moreover, I noticed that he glanced at us several times in the crowd. Why do you think he looked at the two of us?"

A thunderbolt suddenly flashed through the fox woman's mind.

"He... is looking at the ghost on me, and at your knife! He has some kind of ability to sense the location of strange relics up close! If that's the case, then this method of destroying the gate and driving everyone down is even more suitable for him."

"That's right."

After the fox-woman figured it out, she instantly felt a chill run down her spine.

She suddenly realized something.

Danger doesn't only come from evil spirits; sometimes, humans with ulterior motives are more dangerous than evil spirits.

"What if he attacks us?" The fox woman was getting anxious. No one would be worried if they were being targeted by such a crazy guy.

Lin Yue remained calm. "It was possible before, but so much time has passed and there's still no sign of him showing up. He probably won't come. I doubt whether he really found another person with the strange artifact in the crowd. After all, he deliberately ran in the opposite direction from us before. It's very likely that he made a new discovery."

After being enlightened by Lin Yue, the fox-like woman suddenly understood why the clown hadn't come after them.

Because she sided with this paper bag person!

Dealing with two people who have joined forces and possess strange relics is obviously very risky.

It would be better to hunt down another lone person.

The deeper I think about it, the more afraid I become.

The fox woman was even somewhat relieved that she had chosen to cling to the paper bag man's coattails; otherwise, as a woman, that clown would have surely turned his attention to her instead.

And once such a situation occurs.

Even if he eventually releases the ghost from his backpack, it will only result in both of them dying together.

Thank goodness, it was almost just a matter of a single thought.

I had a close call with death without even knowing it.

The danger posed by that clown was so intense that it chilled her to the bone.

And of course, there's this man in the paper bag.

The fox-woman timidly stole a glance.

Although he had almost no interaction with that clown, he was able to discern all of the clown's intentions and trump cards based on just a few clues.

This level of keenness is truly befitting of a seasoned hunter.

"Fortunately, we're still teammates for now," the fox woman thought to herself.

Just at this time.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the door.

"Tap tap—tap tap—"

The fox-like woman froze, looking at Lin Yue in shock.

Something's coming!

Is it that clown?

Or... a ghost?!
