She felt as if she had been on a roller coaster today, from life to death, from death to resurrection, and now facing the reality of complete disappearance.
She did not let that ghost know about her identity being exposed. Firstly, she didn't want the other party to know about her cooperation with Ning Wei, and secondly, she didn't want to be scolded for being stupid.
Through her interaction with that ghost, Lian Yun felt that the ghost was actually impatient with her.
Putting all these aside for now, the most important thing was what would happen at lunch.
According to the rules, after the bell rang, everyone, no matter what they were doing, had to go to the hall for their meal.
Even though Lian Yun was no longer human, she still abided by the guests' rules to maintain her persona.
As soon as she reached the hall, she felt several gazes on her.
Lian Yun looked over, and the gazes all came from her teammates from her previous car.
If it weren't for everyone worrying that changing the dining table seats at the last minute would trigger other rules, she wouldn't even have the right to sit with her teammates.
Staring at the scrutinizing, disgusted, and fearful eyes, she slowly took her seat.
Wu Qing had not arrived yet, but Sheng Kaiwei had already fiercely threatened her: "I didn't expect you to be a traitor and try to kill me. Today at noon, I will report you to the butler!"
Lian Yun's face turned pale, and she felt her heart pounding.
If Sheng Kaiwei really succeeded in this, then her knowing that information would be useless.
Lian Yun looked at Ning Wei for help. Ning Wei nodded gently, indicating that she would stand by her side.
"I didn't expect you to be the real ghost." Qing Qing, who was suspected, thought she had taken the blame for Lian Yun. Remembering how she was ostracized before, countless hatreds arose in her heart.
Lian Yun said nothing. Hadn't she also taken the blame and been forcibly pulled into this camp by that ghost?
To avoid looking at that ghost, Lian Yun kept her head down.
This behavior was seen by everyone as an admission of everything Sheng Kaiwei had said earlier and an acknowledgment of her identity.
Seeing Lian Yun's reaction, the ghost rolled her eyes. She regretted acting too quickly and not taking the time to think carefully. This Lian Yun was truly not a promising asset.
However, facing such pressure, she couldn't handle it.
Moreover, she didn't tell her the truth. If she had told her that her identity had been exposed to the guests from the beginning, why would she have wasted time telling her so much information?
Just as Sheng Kaiwei's group was launching a verbal attack on Lian Yun, Wu Qing appeared.
She clapped her hands to summon the male servants. Because Ning Wei and the others had eliminated three werewolves, all three meals today would be especially rich.
There would be no more bloody food; the focus was on eating heartily.
Wu Qing was temporarily enjoying the benefits and didn't mind letting the guests share in the joy.
However, if Ning Wei and the others couldn't continue to work for her and solve the werewolves tonight, then what they would eat tomorrow was uncertain.
Before eating, Sheng Kaiwei immediately raised his hand and signaled: "Butler, we've caught the ghost. Can we announce her name now?"
Wu Qing was not surprised and was about to nod in agreement.
At this moment, Ning Wei suddenly spoke, "Before we proceed, I have a question for the butler."
"Go ahead," Wu Qing said, ignoring Sheng Kaiwei's restraining gaze. She showed special favor to Ning Wei, who was powerful.
Perhaps this was the mutual appreciation between beautiful women.
"If someone among us disagrees with the ghost's identity and has a second guess, what should we do?"
Wu Qing replied, "If there are more than one suspected ghost among the guests present, then we will vote by a show of hands. Whichever ghost has more supporters, that ghost will disappear."
Hearing this answer, Ning Wei knew her guess was correct.
"Will the suspected ghost also participate in the voting process?" Ning Wei continued to ask.
"Of course. Until their identity is confirmed, everyone is a guest and enjoys the same rights."
"How many times does each person have to raise their hand to vote?"
"Once per person is enough. If there are too many, I can't keep track," Wu Qing, who was very insensitive to numbers, replied.
After asking these questions, Ning Wei began to silently calculate the numbers.
Their team now had seven people, while Sheng Kaiwei's group had twelve.
As for the suspected ghosts, they were naturally Sheng Kaiwei and Lian Yun.
If Sheng Kaiwei named Lian Yun, she would receive eleven votes. Although one of them was still a ghost whose identity had not been exposed, precisely because it could not be exposed, the ghost hidden within Sheng Kaiwei's team, to protect herself, would also give up her ghostly teammate, Lian Yun.
On Ning Wei's side, as the representative, she would definitely name Sheng Kaiwei. Then Sheng Kaiwei would receive eight votes.
By this calculation, Lian Yun was currently at a disadvantage.
Therefore, Ning Wei planned to do the opposite. She intended to speak first to secure more votes for Sheng Kaiwei.
After all, their team was not an unbreakable alliance. Everyone had their own agenda, with eight hundred schemes in mind.
While Ning Wei was calculating, Sheng Kaiwei was not idle.
He was very confident in his teammates and believed that he would definitely deal with Lian Yun, the ghost, today. A smug smile was on his face.
"Who wants to speak first?" Wu Qing saw that no one was speaking, so she took the initiative to speak. Catching ghosts was a small matter and should not delay the guests' dining time.
"I'll go first!"
"I'll go first!"
Sheng Kaiwei and Ning Wei spoke at the same time, neither willing to yield to the other.
Next, it was up to Wu Qing to decide the order. Ning Wei smiled gently at her. Although she said nothing, her smile and eyes conveyed everything.
"Ladies first, Ning Wei can speak first." Wu Qing, who was clearly favoring Ning Wei, found a plausible excuse to silence the public.
Although Sheng Kaiwei was unconvinced, he could only hold back.
In this place, Wu Qing, as a "local," had absolute authority!
He was confident of his success anyway and didn't care about this little bit of time.
He would just consider himself kind and magnanimous, letting that despicable Lian Yun live a little longer!
Ning Wei looked provocatively at Sheng Kaiwei and then began her deception: "The ghost I want to report is Sheng Kaiwei!"
As soon as she said this, Sheng Kaiwei's teammates showed surprise, their disbelieving eyes darting between Sheng Kaiwei and Ning Wei.
Sheng Kaiwei became anxious and was about to retort when he met Wu Qing's cold gaze, and the fire in his heart instantly extinguished.
He gritted his teeth, wanting to see how Ning Wei would twist the truth!
"Everyone knows that my teammates and I killed three boxes of werewolves last night. We were free last night, so we know exactly who died in the castle. Last night, I personally saw the werewolf open Sheng Kaiwei's room and bite him to death!" Ning Wei lied with a straight face, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
