"If I find the answer one day, I'll tell you," Li Ye answered Ning Wei very seriously.
He himself didn't know who he was. He had come to the bus based on his sixth sense, ignoring everyone else, and only saw the pretty Ning Wei.
Although Li Ye didn't know who he was, he remembered his name. His abilities seemed innate.
It was only after following Ning Wei to obtain the bead from the Zhou family that Li Ye felt the mysteries surrounding him slowly begin to unravel.
Receiving Li Ye's words, Ning Wei had learned a lot of information. In fact, analyzing many details, she had already guessed a lot.
At any rate, she now knew that Li Ye had forgotten his past and was not human.
Although she felt it was a pity that someone so good-looking was not human, they had gained a powerful asset on their bus, making them very lucky compared to people on other buses.
The bus drove forward, and the lights faintly revealed the surroundings.
From forests to cliffs, and then onto a main road.
Ning Wei was puzzled, not knowing what the next stop would be or where the driver would take them.
Amidst the bumps, Ning Wei slowly closed her eyes.
Apart from Li Ye, everyone else still needed to rest normally.
This time, Ning Wei slept deeply. She had indeed been exhausted at the marine park.
The resentments had surrounded her, and others didn't know that she was plagued by nightmares every night.
In a daze, a sudden braking of the bus notified everyone that a new stop had arrived.
Seeing that everyone was not yet awake, the attendant swung her hand, which was still attached to skin and sinew, and clapped crisply. Her minced meat splattered onto the seats.
Startled, Song Zhi quickly stood up to stop her, "Stop clapping! We're awake! We'll get off soon!"
The attendant, unaware she was being disliked, thought this way of waking people up was particularly effective and secretly made a note to use it in the future.
Everyone alighted one by one. The attendant hung on the door, waving frantically at them, saying with schadenfreude, "I hope you'll still be waiting for us when we come to pick you up!"
Ning Wei, who had been woken up and was already in a bad mood, became even more infuriated by the attendant's deliberately provocative words.
She casually picked up a stone and hurled it at the attendant.
Fortunately, the attendant's neck was long enough to stretch out a meter, so her head narrowly avoided being hit by the stone.
"Can't hit me! Can't hit me!" She stuck out her bright red tongue at Ning Wei.
Ning Wei pinched a drop of blood from her fingertip and flicked it forcefully towards the attendant.
The blood droplet landed on the back of the attendant's hand, which was gripping the door, and immediately produced white smoke. She yelped in pain, and Ning Wei jumped up with joy.
"You..." The attendant was so angry she wanted to jump off the bus and fight Ning Wei.
However, a hand grabbed her by the collar of her shirt from behind and yanked her back.
The attendant landed steadily inside the bus. The bus puffed out smoke, and the driver sped away with the furious attendant.
"Who are you allied with!" The attendant leaped up inside the bus, poking the driver's head with her fingertip, which had already sunk in halfway.
The driver was not angry at all. Instead, he coaxed her, "Her blood is specifically effective against us. Don't offend her. What if her blood lands on a more sensitive spot next time instead of her hand?"
"What should I do? What should I do? Why didn't you help me beat her up!"
"I can't beat her," the driver stated honestly.
His honest attitude infuriated the attendant. Her piercing voice echoed through the carriage, all boiling down to one sentence: "Are you a man!"
The driver was used to it. He decided to face the "time bomb" attendant with silence.
Meanwhile, Ning Wei's group looked up at the station's name, which read: Victoria Grand Hotel.
"It seems we're going through our tribulation in a hotel this time," Yuan Yuan said in a low voice.
Zhu Yilian spread her arms, "Finally, I can stay in a hotel! I'm going to enjoy myself!"
"Aren't you afraid of ghosts?" Wang Jing reminded her tactfully.
Zhu Yilian choked, glaring at her, "Maybe there aren't any ghosts!"
As they bickered, a doorman in a suit approached. He held a white candle, and despite his movements, the candlelight remained steady.
Under the candlelight, everyone noticed that the doorman had no shadow.
What did having no shadow imply?
Zhu Yilian immediately moved closer to Wang Jing. They stopped arguing and huddled together, encouraging each other.
"Guests, you've waited long enough. Please follow me." The doorman's mouth didn't move, but everyone heard his voice.
"Is this ventriloquism?" Yuan Yuan whispered to Wang Jing.
Wang Jing no longer wanted to answer Yuan Yuan's question. She really didn't want to figure out if this ghostly doorman could do ventriloquism.
Following the doorman and his candle, they walked about a hundred meters before seeing a brilliantly lit grand hotel.
At the hotel entrance, there was a statue of an angel fountain. Illuminated by colored lights, the fountain's water was a myriad of colors.
But to Ning Wei's eyes, she only saw blood-red water.
At the magnificent golden entrance stood two doormen. Before the guests even reached them, they pushed open the doors, awaiting their arrival.
Everyone followed the guiding doorman inside. Upon reaching the reception, there was no need for them to check in. They only had to sit in the VIP area, and a room attendant would prepare their rooms.
The manager approached them with a stack of room cards, "Esteemed guests, welcome. Your rooms have been prepared. Let's go to your rooms to rest first."
After speaking, he distributed the room cards. Ning Wei and Li Ye shared a room (they didn't know who had arranged it, perhaps the beautiful, kind, and generous author).
Mei Nan and Song Zhi shared a room, Tang Tang and Yuan Yuan shared a room, and Wang Jing and Zhu Yilian shared a room.
Everyone had a companion, with two people per room.
The group was quite satisfied with this arrangement (author's note: I believe the readers will be even more satisfied).
Following the manager to their rooms, the four of them were on the fourth floor, though their rooms were not adjacent.
The manager escorted the guests to the elevator, personally pressed the button for the fourth floor, and said to them again, "We wish you a pleasant stay. Please call the front desk anytime if you need anything, and we will promptly address your issues."
As the elevator doors slowly closed, they ascended.
"So far, there seem to be no problems," Zhu Yilian said, touching the luxurious interior of the elevator, stating her observation.
Ning Wei glanced over. Although the elevator was very luxurious, a female ghost resembling a spider was clinging to the ceiling. Her hair strands fell precisely onto Zhu Yilian's hand.
