What if you were targeted by a cool and aloof beauty?

"So, everything at the bottom of the mountain must have been constructed based on the memories of the missing people?" Jiuge pondered for a moment, then her face hardened.

If we analyze it this way, the chaotic nature of the programs shown on TV becomes understandable.

“That’s pretty much it, probably close! And this hotel looks newer than when my colleagues and I were undercover!” Zhang Zhidong turned his gaze back.

The last groups of people to disappear disappeared five years ago, and the Liancheng Five-Star Hotel was newly built six years ago.

"So those really are her bones?" Jiuge asked Zhang Zhidong, then glanced back at the knight behind her.

The knight would take two steps and then turn back to look at the door that they had already closed, lost in thought.

“Not bad! Although it doesn’t look like it, it definitely feels like real human bones!” As he spoke, Zhang Zhidong’s expression became serious.

He couldn't understand why the human skeleton looked so much like a model.

It cannot be explained from any scientific, archaeological, or biological perspective.

"Alas... As expected, none of them survived..." Upon hearing this, Jiuge looked down at her own body again.

After looking her over, she glanced at An Chen beside her.

"Are we actually already dead?" Jiuge muttered to herself.

If the dead look no different from the living in this place, then they may actually have already fallen to their deaths.

An Chen, who was standing next to him, did not answer or react.

He looked serious, staring intently at the ground.

“Someone’s coming.” Suddenly, An Chen took Jiu Ge’s hand.

He gestured to the knight and Zhang Zhidong, then turned around and headed towards the safety passage.

Zhang Zhidong and the knight quickly followed the two and turned around.

Sure enough, a moment later, footsteps and voices came from behind.

"Eating...it's delicious..."

"My college entrance exam score...this time...I'm satisfied..."

"When I get back... it'll be... my graduation banquet..."

"Wife...son...photo..."

"A crow... sits... on an airplane..."

"Magic...defeat...magic..."

Although it was indeed the sound of voices, what they were saying was incoherent and illogical, and did not resemble a conversation at all.

"Look at them, and then look at us. Do you still think we're dead?" An Chen asked, looking at Jiu Ge's pale face as they entered the elevator.

To be fair, with such a pale face, he does indeed look like a dead person.

“We haven’t lost our minds, so we haven’t died.” Jiuge thought for a moment, then answered seriously with a straight face.

"That's right! Ms. Jiuge is right!" Zhang Zhidong gave a thumbs up.

"...What does 'dementia' mean?" the knight asked, regaining his senses.

From the middle onwards, he lost track of what was going on.

The knight couldn't understand how Zhang Zhidong, who seemed even more clueless than him, could keep up with An Chen and Jiu Ge's pace.

“Uncle Knight, dementia is…” Jiuge was about to explain when she was interrupted by a notification sound.

"We've arrived at the second floor, we've arrived at the second floor."

The elevator emitted an electronic notification sound.

“I pressed the button for the first floor.” An Chen noticed that the button for the first floor was turned off.

He released Jiuge's hand and stepped forward to press the button on the first floor again.

Watch your step, watch your step.

The elevator didn't go down; instead, it emitted a stranger electronic beep.

"Clang, clang..."

A sound like steel rubbing together rang out.

The elevator doors still opened on the second floor.

Hello.

The girl who stepped into the elevator was an adorable little girl with super long pigtails who looked only eleven or twelve years old.

"Hello." An Chen paused for a moment, then answered gently.

The little girl in front of me is not mentally impaired.

“Not bad! Hello!” Zhang Zhidong said loudly.

"It's not good for you to get your hair permed at such a young age; it's bad for your health!" he said, staring at the little girl's pigtails.

The little girl had a chubby face, round eyes, and long eyelashes.

If you ignore her long, multicolored pigtails, she is indeed quite cute.

"..." Jiuge and the knight remained silent.

"Don't I look good? I think I'm super cute!" The little girl bounced around in the elevator and then pressed the close button.

She touched her long braid, her expression one of pure delight: "Like a rainbow, isn't it? The order of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and violet is all the same."

The little girl's head is red on top, and counting down from the black hair tie, there are exactly six colors: orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple.

“That’s right! It’s dangerous to jump around in the elevator!” Zhang Zhidong said, pressing down on the little girl’s shoulder.

Elevators have many safety protection switches.

If someone jumps or bounces inside the elevator, causing the car to tilt, it can easily trigger the automatic safety switch, causing the elevator to stop suddenly and trapping passengers.

If all the facilities here function the same as in reality, then the rules for spirits using the elevator must also be no different from those in reality.

"Waaaaaah, I know, waaaaah..." Startled by Zhang Zhidong's voice in his police uniform, the little girl rubbed her eyes and started sobbing.

"I'm so cute, please don't be mean to me..." Her tears flowed like a burst dam.

“That’s right! I didn’t yell at you!” Zhang Zhidong said in a strong voice.

"Then pick me up..." The little girl rubbed her eyes and sniffled.

Although his trembling voice was a bit intimidating, the policeman in front of her always gave her a very warm feeling.

"Good! That's good! Great!" Without saying another word, Zhang Zhidong picked up the little girl.

There was no sizzling sound of frying.

The little girl did not scream, nor did any black aura appear on her body.

"..." Everyone else present fell silent.

The situation before them was incomprehensible to the knight, to Jiuge, and even to Anchen.

Logically speaking, even if the little girl in front of us is a missing person who hasn't been reported in the news,

The spirit had been living in the evil atmosphere at the bottom of the mountain for a long time. Even if she was a saint in life, she could not maintain the absolute purity of her soul, let alone such a young girl.

"We've arrived at the first floor, we've arrived at the first floor."

Just as everyone was still in a daze, the elevator notification sounded again.

Chapter 216 Will You Be My Mother? (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

"Great! There are so many people on the first floor!"

Zhang Zhidong exclaimed as he stepped off the elevator.

A dozen or so men and women gathered in front of the hotel lobby.

Judging from their appearance, five of them were missing persons reported in the news.

"The person sitting on the sofa on the left is the proprietress's husband." Jiu Ge tugged at An Chen's sleeve and pointed to the sofa next to the front desk.

She has a very good memory.

That night, while listening to An Chen tell ghost stories on his phone in her room, Jiu Ge was scared, but she still tried her best to remember the faces of the people in the photos.

“Hmm, then the one sitting opposite him must be the old man from the rumored mountain who ran from one side to the other in a short time.” An Chen pried open Jiu Ge’s hand that was tugging at his clothes.

After admiring Jiu Ge's incredulous expression, he took her hand in his again.

"Hmph." Jiuge turned her head away and snorted.

“That’s right! Among the people standing in the middle, three of them should be the two boys who went missing five years ago, and the middle-aged man who shouted for help after saying a string of numbers and then disappeared.” Zhang Zhidong said in a loud voice.

When he heard that he was going to visit the Man-Swallowing Mountain, he appeared in his younger brother Zhang Zhidao's dream and asked Zhang Zhidao to look up information about the Man-Swallowing Mountain for several hours and print it out and spread it out on the table.

Therefore, Zhang Zhidong, with his relevant expertise, was more quick to react when it came to the appearance of the missing person and related information.

Perhaps because Zhang Zhidong's loud noise lasted too long, the little girl he was holding covered her ears.

"Can I call you Dad?" she asked, covering her ears and looking up.

“No! I’m still young!” Zhang Zhidong refused decisively.

It should be noted that he was only in his twenties when he gloriously sacrificed his life.

How can someone in their twenties have an eleven or twelve-year-old daughter?

Having a young child as a godson is already a stretch.

"Okay, Daddy!" The little girl chose to let it go in one ear and out the other.

She straightened up and kissed Zhang Zhidong on the cheek.

The knight standing next to Zhang Zhidong's arm was so frightened that he took several meters back.

It must be because he slept for too many years. How come the world has become like this when he woke up?

"..." Jiuge opened her mouth, but was speechless.

She was a little stunned.
