Lian Yun did not prepare at all. Just as Sheng Kaiwei thought she had succeeded, her hands passed directly through Sheng Kaiwei's body.
And she herself, due to unstable footing, passed entirely through Sheng Kaiwei's body and then fell like a piece of cloth.
This scene was witnessed only by Lian Yun and Sheng Kaiwei present.
As for Ning Wei, she had already hidden herself when Lian Yun made her move, so she saw everything that happened, but Sheng Kaiwei did not notice her presence.
As Lian Yun was climbing up, Sheng Kaiwei reacted, "You're a ghost!"
Lian Yun sneered and did not answer his question at all.
Sheng Kaiwei was anxious and ran directly to the railing, trying to grab Lian Yun's fingers, his intention being to prevent her from climbing up.
Lian Yun was already a ghost, so she wouldn't die even if she fell from the lighthouse.
Since Sheng Kaiwei already knew her identity, why should she continue to struggle here?
After Lian Yun thought it through, she simply let go of her hands and fell vertically onto the grass below.
Because her body was so light, there was no sound when she landed.
Sheng Kaiwei still couldn't believe it and crawled to the edge to look down, only to see Lian Yun, who ran faster than a rabbit, disappear from his sight in the blink of an eye.
Ning Wei hid behind the wall and saw Sheng Kaiwei angrily hitting the wall out of the corner of her eye.
She quietly went downstairs and happened to run into Lian Yun, who had also entered the hall.
The two exchanged glances and tacitly walked to the darkest corner under the stairs, where no light could be seen, making it impossible for anyone to find them.
Before Sheng Kaiwei could catch up, Lian Yun quickly explained to Ning Wei, "It's not that I didn't act, it's just that the rules suppress me from acting against guests during the day. Once I make a move, my body turns into nothingness and passes directly through the guest's body."
After hearing this, Ning Wei immediately touched Lian Yun's hand. To her touch, Lian Yun's hand, apart from being a little cold, was no different from that of a living person.
"Push me," Ning Wei continued her experiment. Behind her was the large slope of the stairs, posing many safety hazards.
Lian Yun understood Ning Wei's intention and pushed with all her might, not holding back at all.
As seen before, her hands passed directly through Ning Wei's body, and Ning Wei herself suffered no harm.
This meant that whether it was a frontal confrontation or a surprise attack from behind, ghosts could not make a move during the day.
"I've been exposed," Lian Yun's voice carried a tone of despair.
She was extremely unwilling. She hadn't expected that even as a ghost, she would still be suppressed by various rules. She couldn't resolve Ning Wei's deep hatred, nor did she have a chance for her own revenge.
Since Sheng Kaiwei already knew her true identity, he would definitely report her to Wu Qing at noon.
The thought of disappearing without accomplishing anything made Lian Yun very resentful.
Ning Wei comforted her, "Don't give up until the last moment! Only Sheng Kaiwei knows you made a move today. If, at the dinner table, only he insists that you are a ghost, and we deny it, what do you think the outcome will be?"
Lian Yun's eyes lit up, but Ning Wei's plan hadn't been tested yet, and she didn't know if it would succeed.
To avoid suspicion, the two quickly parted ways after their conversation.
Ning Wei chose to catch up on sleep on the sofa, while Lian Yun went back to ponder her skills as a ghost.
However, even though Ning Wei had suggested this plan, Lian Yun was still apprehensive.
Yesterday, when Qin An was exposed, Ning Wei had merely stated his name, and at that moment, Wu Qing had eliminated him. Therefore, Lian Yun doubted whether the situation would still be under Ning Wei's control at that time.
Sheng Kaiwei, frightened, had disappeared somewhere, and Lian Yun didn't want to face him again to avoid arousing others' suspicions, so she chose to hide in the back garden.
The back garden was vast, with various flowerbeds and bushes creating small, secluded spaces, making it easy to hide.
She didn't need to sleep now, so she lay on the ground, her eyes open, lost in thought.
At this moment, someone approached.
Lian Yun opened her eyes but remained silent.
The person spoke, "I know your identity."
Lian Yun did not make a sound. Apart from the incident with Sheng Kaiwei, she had not revealed any clues elsewhere. Therefore, if this person was trying to trick her, they had probably chosen the wrong person.
Seeing Lian Yun remain silent, the person continued, "Aren't you curious about who helped the werewolf open the door?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lian Yun felt a chill run down her spine. She immediately stood up and stared coldly at the person in front of her.
Currently, only Ning Wei and Sheng Kaiwei knew she was a ghost. Of course, there was one other, the ghost who opened the door for the werewolf.
And how Lian Yun died was known only to Ning Wei and that ghost.
Therefore, the fact that the person in front of her suddenly brought this up could only mean one thing: it was that ghost!
Lian Yun was furious and filled with hatred. She hadn't expected this ghost to reveal its identity to her.
Just as Lian Yun was about to fight this ghost to the death, the ghost warned her, "Guests cannot have conflicts with each other, and neither can ghosts. If you don't want to disappear just like this, I suggest you retract your claws!"
The ghost's voice became sharper, seemingly very displeased with Lian Yun's intention to attack.
Lian Yun resentfully retracted her hands. Even if she didn't act, Ning Wei would avenge her.
Since she was already dead, she didn't care about time. She could wait!
However, the information revealed by the ghost next made her hesitate.
The ghost said, "Although I opened the door last night, it doesn't mean you are truly dead."
Lian Yun was confused and frowned, asking the ghost, "What do you mean by that?"
The ghost was now very patient and began to explain another game rule related to ghosts.
Only those who die at the hands of a werewolf will become ghosts, and ghosts do not necessarily stand entirely with the werewolves.
In other words, ghosts are a separate group.
As long as guests survive here for a week, the bus will come to pick them up and take them away.
Conversely, if all guests are turned into ghosts, the bus will still come after a week, and the ghosts will possess tickets and can leave the castle safely.
In short, being a ghost is just an identity; it doesn't represent true death, unless, of course, it's a situation like Qin An's yesterday, where they were truly dead.
After listening to the game rules, Lian Yun summarized, "You mean, I'm not really dead now, I've just changed my identity."
The ghost nodded.
"Then what happens if we don't turn all the guests into the same ghost identity?" Lian Yun instinctively grouped herself and this ghost into the same team, hence using "we" instead of "they."
