Up next was the fourth floor, which was the floor where everyone was staying.
"Do we still need to search the rooms we stayed in?" Yuan Yuan asked softly.
"The hotel has changed its state, so the rooms inside are probably different too. It's best to check. Perhaps it's hidden in the guest room we stayed in," Mei Nan had already analyzed the situation. In short, they wouldn't let any guest room go unsearched.
Because of Zhu Yulian's disappearance, everyone spoke their minds beforehand.
"No matter how many people are left in the end, the task of finding this thing must not be forgotten! While protecting yourselves, you must also do your best to complete this mission." Ning Wei and Li Ye couldn't say these words, so Mei Nan spoke for them.
Actually, finding this thing held more significance for Ning Wei and Li Ye. As for the others, they simply wanted to leave this strange hotel alive.
However, Ning Wei was determined to get their hands on it. Since they were a team and had been safe under Ning Wei and Li Ye's protection, they naturally had to reciprocate.
Although the words weren't explicitly stated, Mei Nan believed that everyone present was smart enough to understand his deeper meaning. Kuaishuge.com
After clarifying their intentions, everyone ate something simple and then resumed their search.
Each person searched their own room. Soon, Ning Wei and Li Ye arrived at the room they were staying in.
The two walked to the curtains and pulled them open with a swish.
This time, they intended to tackle the wall.
Li Ye reached out and touched the wall, then said to Ning Wei with great certainty, "The body is still inside."
"It seems that no matter how the hotel changes, what happened before will not be erased."
Li Ye took out a hammer, which they had found in the security department.
"Take a step back, I'm starting."
Li Ye extended his hand, forcing Ning Wei to retreat two steps to a safe distance.
"Are you sure you don't need my help?"
"It's just a wall," Li Ye said with a gentle smile. He only showed his gentle side when facing Ning Wei.
Ning Wei winked playfully and simply dragged a stool over to sit down. "I almost forgot, you're the Butcher Li who can break off walrus tusks with his bare hands."
Only Ning Wei dared to tease Li Ye like this. No matter what she said, Li Ye wouldn't get angry.
Li Ye only chuckled after hearing this and whispered, "I'm starting."
The bead in his pocket glowed faintly, and he felt his body filled with power.
With one swing of the hammer, the entire wall cracked.
This huge commotion quickly attracted their other five teammates, who rushed out of their rooms.
Ning Wei quickly explained, "Don't be scared. We're just looking for something. You guys go ahead and continue your search."
On their first day at the hotel, everyone knew that the window of the room Ning Wei and Li Ye were staying in had been replaced by a wall, and several bodies were sealed inside.
Everyone was not particularly interested in the bodies. Finding the item was more important, so they returned to their own rooms to search earnestly.
The sound of Ning Wei and Li Ye smashing the wall was loud. Once they knew what was happening, the others stopped being startled.
However, before the wall was even fully smashed, they heard Wang Jing's scream, followed by Tang Tang's voice. Yuan Yuan didn't even have a chance to speak.
This sound was unusual. Ning Wei and Li Ye exchanged glances and immediately dropped what they were doing and rushed to the room that Tang Tang and the other two were responsible for.
They had been checking the guest rooms they had stayed in earlier. During this time, they had even come out to watch the commotion caused by Li Ye smashing the wall. They never expected an accident to happen when they re-entered the room.
When Ning Wei and the others arrived, the room was empty. It was exactly the same as when Zhu Yulian disappeared. There were no signs of a struggle in the room, as if they had vanished into thin air.
Mei Nan looked serious. After hearing the noise, he and Song Zhi rushed over immediately, but apart from the message left by Tang Tang, there were no clues.
As per usual, Ning Wei and Li Ye searched every corner of the room again, but finding nothing was expected.
"You arrived earlier. Did they leave any information?" Due to the wall-smashing, Ning Wei had only heard Wang Jing's scream.
Mei Nan pondered for a moment. "Actually, I didn't hear very clearly at the time. Only Tang Tang said one word."
"What word?" Ning Wei pressed.
Mei Nan thought for a moment and then uttered two syllables, roughly "fu."
Since he wasn't sure which character it was, Mei Nan pronounced the sound.
Fortunately, after Zhu Yulian's disappearance, Ning Wei had reminded everyone to always leave clues or messages.
This was the second time a teammate had disappeared, and this time the loss was more painful, with three gone at once.
The only fortunate thing was that Tang Tang was quick-witted and managed to leave behind a syllable.
Unfortunately, at present, no one knew where to start researching this "fu."
"Will we all disappear in the end?" Song Zhi raised the most frightening and worrying question.
Out of a total of eight people, half were now gone, so Song Zhi's concern was very likely to happen.
"I think it's possible. Fortunately, none of you are fighting alone. Don't forget what I said, I won't abandon you," Ning Wei said very seriously to Mei Nan and Song Zhi.
Song Zhi sighed. "Alright, we have to face it anyway. Let's go find that thing you mentioned first. I hope we can find what you're looking for before we disappear."
The four people separated again. This time, there was no need to divide the rooms. It was just a corridor, so they split into pairs, one pair on each side.
Mei Nan and his group were on the left, and Ning Wei's group was on the right.
After everyone had split up, they had completely let go.
Li Ye picked up the hammer again and started smashing the wall. Under the absolute force, the entire wall collapsed with a bang.
There was another wall of bronze and iron behind it, but that was no longer important.
After the thick wall fell, the corpses inside were revealed.
Due to the long passage of time, they had transformed from flesh and blood into dry, white bones.
The corpses had rotted within the wall, so the stench instantly filled the entire room.
Even Ning Wei had to run to the bathroom to dry-heave. Li Ye glanced at the corpses and then followed her, concerned.
After Ning Wei vomited, she washed her hands at the sink. Her hands were wet, and she felt uncomfortable again.
So, she simply tore down the towel hanging on the mirror.
The next second, the familiar red-dressed female ghost appeared in the mirror. She was not as hideous as before, but looked like an ordinary person, wearing black high-heeled sandals in Ning Wei's eyes.
Then, she beckoned to Ning Wei.
