Ning Wei and Li Ye were their backbone; without them, everyone was at a loss for what to do.
In the end, it was Mei Nan who stepped forward. He hadn't forgotten Ning Wei's words: no matter what happened, under the premise of self-preservation, don't forget to look for that thing.
Although they still didn't know what that thing was, they were still trying their best to find it.
However, to prevent everyone from separating and disappearing again, this time everyone searched in one room, not splitting up.
This method was a bit time-consuming, but it was safe.
After hearing about everyone's subsequent experiences, Ning Wei was speechless.
She had been in another space, worried sick about these people, only to find out they had returned long before her.
Ning Wei didn't know how to describe her feelings upon hearing this news.
In fact, that everyone was safe was very good news for her.
But the thought of how long she had been worried made her feel that no one could truly understand.
At this moment, Li Ye placed a hand on her shoulder and patted it twice.
Ning Wei turned back and gave him a wry smile, a smile filled with too many emotions.
Tang Tang sensed something was wrong and ran out to hug Ning Wei, "We were lucky, we just didn't find the thing you mentioned."
Suddenly, Ning Wei felt something hard in her hand. She immediately knew what it was.
She took the item out and said to Tang Tang with a smile, "We were lucky too. We found clues about this thing in another space, so the item has been found. Everyone doesn't need to continue treasure hunting."
As soon as the item was revealed, everyone gathered around to look.
"It's just a ring?" Song Zhi asked doubtfully.
"It's only a ring? I was staring at the big items!" Gao Yilian added.
Everyone burst into laughter, taking turns examining the ring.
Last time, the bead had gone directly into Li Ye's hands, and seeing how mysterious he was, they hadn't dared to ask to take a look. But today was different.
This item was in Ning Wei's hands. Although she was a bit wild normally, they weren't particularly afraid of her.
"This thing is so small, can it really take us back to the normal hotel?" Wang Jing held the ring, examining it from all angles, and was very doubtful if its small body contained infinite energy.
"We'll know if we try," Ning Wei said, reaching out to take back the ring.
She was so eager to find her teammates that she hadn't had time to study the ring after getting it.
Actually, she had never tried using this kind of thing before and didn't know if it would work.
"Then when do we start?"
Everyone was eager to leave. In such a large hotel, with only the eight of them wandering around, although there were no ghosts, it was still eerily empty and terrifying.
"Wait a moment, let's find a room to rest first." Ning Wei hadn't figured out how to use the ring's power, but she couldn't possibly tell them that, as it would clearly show her weakness.
Tang Tang winked at her, "You look really tired. Tell the truth, were you worried about our safety and couldn't sleep thinking about it?"
Ning Wei froze, unsure how to answer.
She didn't want them to catch her off guard, nor did she want to admit she was that worried about their safety.
But if she didn't admit it, wouldn't she seem too heartless?
This question put her in a difficult position. Just as she was struggling, Li Ye spoke, "Let's go back to the room and rest for a while. Once everything is arranged, we'll prepare to return to the normal hotel."
Since Li Ye had spoken, everyone naturally obeyed.
They couldn't go back to 4044; it was still a place with four decaying, foul-smelling corpses lying there, making it uninhabitable.
However, they were also hesitant to enter any other room. So, they chose the room Tang Tang was staying in.
After arranging everyone, Ning Wei and Li Ye took the ring back to 4044.
"Do you know how to use this?" Ning Wei asked Li Ye, holding the ring.
Li Ye nodded.
"Then here, you take it." Ning Wei directly placed the ring in Li Ye's hand.
Actually, from the moment she got the ring, she had secretly tried everything, even absurd actions like dripping blood to claim ownership, but the ring remained unresponsive.
In her hands, it was just an ordinary ring, at most a valuable antique.
Just like the bead from the Zhou family, the moment she obtained it, she not only didn't feel any power within it but was also attacked by the resentment it contained.
Perhaps she truly had no fate with this type of treasure.
In reality, things like this were rare and could not be forced.
When she lived at the Taoist temple, among so many people, only her master and one senior brother possessed such treasures.
Ning Wei had been envious since then, but despite searching for a long time, she hadn't even encountered one, let alone anything else.
Now, after boarding that strange bus, treasures had appeared, but alas, she still had no fate with them.
Perhaps it was her destiny, as her master had said, one should not force things.
She had tried to force it this time and realized it was impossible, so she had to reluctantly pass it on to someone else.
Li Ye had already anticipated this outcome. He smiled slowly, then took the ring and put it on.
The moment the ring was on his hand, his pupils turned red again. However, this time, beneath the red pupils, there were other emotions.
He concealed them so quickly that Ning Wei didn't notice.
She looked at his red eyes curiously, "Who exactly are you? Are you a ghost?"
Li Ye smiled mysteriously, "I can't tell you my identity yet, but I'm not that kind of low-level being."
Ning Wei softly hummed and then said very seriously, "I see, you're a high-level ghost!"
Li Ye was speechless and turned the ring around with his other hand.
Ning Wei thought it didn't fit and immediately grabbed Li Ye's hand to check. She found that the ring fit his hand perfectly, as if it were custom-made.
"Can you use it?" Ning Wei asked.
Li Ye closed his eyes, then opened them again, his pupils returning to normal, "Anytime. This ring is now under my control."
Since they could leave immediately, Ning Wei naturally pulled him to the room where Tang Tang and the others were resting.
After explaining their purpose, Ning Wei asked everyone, "Are you ready?"
Just then, the ghosts outside suddenly crashed through the doors. They looked at the people in the room, drooling with bloodshot saliva.
"The ring is taken, but they are still uncontrollable. Stay behind me and don't move. I'll deal with these ghosts first!" Li Ye said without looking back.
