"what……"

Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, Aibowu bounced back half a step.

Xiang Yu didn't move. He simply walked over quietly, squatted down beside the body, and, like a seasoned coroner, bent down to examine it.

"He must have been on the phone before he died." Xiang Yu pulled the phone out of his stiff hand, making a slight sound as he pried open his knuckles. It was a Nokia, and the phone was quite heavy.

In this day and age, someone still carrying a Nokia isn't necessarily poor. In my experience, these heavy old machines often belong to some small business owner.

He pressed his thumb, and the call log popped up. In an era before the invention of chain screen passwords, being able to access call logs was a feature that cost money.

Fortunately, the phone's owner had purchased this feature, and it can be seen that the last person he called was saved as "Mom".

"He died while talking to his mother," Xiang Yu murmured.

"Could that little girl really have guessed right? The rule of murder really is emotion?" Ai Baiwu exclaimed in surprise. "She's so smart! Smarter than me!"

"...There aren't many people in this world who aren't as smart as you."

Xiang Yu didn't say anything after that, he just remained silent and gently placed the phone back into the deceased's palm.

"What's wrong, brother? What did you guess? Could it be that you really guessed the rules?" Ai Baiwu was getting impatient with the hesitant look on the corner.

"I did guess it, but I can't say."

Xiang Yu simply shook his head: "Putting aside the fact that I'm not sure of the answer, even if my answer is true, telling you will only harm you."

"The answer will get me into trouble..." Ai Bowu was somewhat bewildered. "How is that possible? Once I know the rules of murder, all I have to do is avoid them, right? How could it be more dangerous than not knowing the answer?"

"This is called the curse of knowledge. Sometimes it's not good to know too many things rashly... In fact, the answer itself can be a deadly weapon."

Xiang Yu turned his head and said with a sinister look, "You can listen if you want, but be prepared to die after you hear it... I'm going to tell you."

"No, no, no, no, no!" Ai Baiwu quickly covered his ears. "I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen!"

"Look at you..." Xiang Yu waved his hand. "Come on, let's go to the hospital."

……

"Those two went that way..." the middle-aged man squinted. "Should we follow them?"

Luo Yue shook her head: "No rush, let's first determine the rules of the killing. To be honest, Jiang Ning's idea is excellent; the rule for ghosts to kill is very likely strong emotions."

Luo Yue felt that the rule was invalid for her. She was always calm and composed and did not show too much emotion, so she might as well be bolder in her future actions.

"Then we need to calm down..." The middle-aged man felt constrained at every turn. He had a very volatile temper, and if he wasn't allowed to get angry, wouldn't that just make him even angrier?

After Xiang Yu and Ai Bowu walked away, the three of them deliberately took a long detour, pretending to go in another direction. But then they turned around and quietly followed the two of them back.

Luo Yue felt that if Ai Baiwu was the most suspicious person on the first day, then Xiang Yu was the most suspicious person on the second day.

Middle-aged men are typically physically strong but mentally simple-minded; as long as you don't confront them head-on, they won't cause any trouble.

Jiang Ning was just an ordinary high school student, with clean features and an innocent appearance. His deductions about the rules were also well-founded and flawless.

Only with this Xiang Yu, she couldn't see through his thoughts at all. Although he didn't talk much, his words were extremely targeted.

Dangerous, extremely dangerous. Even if it's clear he's a teammate, he's still the most dangerous person around.

Such uncontrollable people must be eliminated first, otherwise who knows if they will turn against us when the dungeon ends because they want to keep all the rewards for themselves?

This is why Luo Yue directly suggested that Xiang Yu and Ai Baiwu be on the same team. By pairing the two most suspicious individuals together and then secretly following them, they would likely be able to obtain clues about the mole.

Now, after examining the body in Xiangyu, they quietly followed and came to the body's side.

Luo Yue tapped the ground with her fingertip, "They've lingered here for a long time; they must have discovered something."

The middle-aged man roughly turned the body over, then turned on the body's cell phone, where they found the call records.

They also discovered that the body had died while the patient was talking to his mother.

"Now that you mention it, Xiao Jiang, your guess is indeed very interesting, and the probability is quite high." Luo Yue nodded.

"So why did he want to deny me so much..." Jiang Ning pursed her lips, her eyes were a little red, and she looked as aggrieved as a wronged child.

"That kid might just be a bit selfish," the middle-aged man said, cracking his knuckles. "If he gives himself away even slightly, we'll take care of him immediately."

"Uncle, please don't get angry, and don't let your emotions fluctuate too much," Jiang Ning quickly reminded him.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man realized it was indeed true, and thus suppressed the murderous intent that had just arisen within him.

"Let's keep following them. I want to see what their purpose is in coming here," Luo Yue said coldly.

……

The two arrived at the hospital.

On the way here, the streets were eerily empty. There were no cars, no people, not even a dog barking. The traffic lights were still dutifully flashing, directing the flow of traffic in a city devoid of living people.

It resembles a dead city.

The deserted city made Xiang Yu feel somewhat dazed.

It was very similar to the world he had seen in his childhood, but there was no one there, giving it an extremely bizarre feel.

You can go back in time, but there will be no one there anymore.

He thought of these words.

Will this be the end of the world?

While Xiang Yu was pondering, Ai Bowu, standing to the side, felt extremely uneasy. Until he figured out the rules of how ghosts kill, he always felt that whatever he did would attract the ghost's attention.

So he gritted his teeth and tried to refrain from doing anything unnecessary, but the human species is very strange; the more you forbid them from doing something, the more they want to do it.

Just then, his inner thighs started itching without warning, an itch that went right to his bones, but he dared not scratch them.

Suppressing the itch, his walking posture became completely distorted, swaying with every step. As he walked, he twisted his ankle and almost fell over.

Some things hidden in the subconscious, which should operate automatically, become awkward and unsettling when brought into the open and commanded.

Seeing Aibowu writhing like a maggot beside him, Xiangyu couldn't stand it anymore: "Are you a zombie dancer? You're dancing while walking."

"I...I'm just nervous..." Aibowu began to tame his body, "You deadbeat, hurry up and move forward!"

After Aibowu tamed his legs, the two entered the hospital one after the other.

The scene inside the hospital made Xiang Yu frown. The smell of disinfectant filled the air, but there was no one there.
