"No dinner knives. What if we don't pick a safe house tonight?" Qingqing, timid, whispered to Qiqi and Bai Yang beside her.
However, in reality, apart from Ning Wei and her group, no one else possessed any silver items, so her words received no response.
"We can only hope we aren't unlucky enough to not get a safe house tonight," someone muttered.
Hearing the worried voices of all her teammates, Sheng Kaiwei stood up again. He pointed at Lian Yun and declared, "You ghost! If you dare to make a move against us tonight, you're dead! I'll report you tomorrow for sure! If you want to live a few more days, you'd better behave tonight!"
Lian Yun acted as if she had no ears and completely ignored him.
Sheng Kaiwei still wanted to attack her, but Ning Wei directly pushed a stool in front of him, blocking his path.
"Birds of a feather flock together!" Sheng Kaiwei knew the other side had superior numbers, so he let out a threat and left it at that.
Time passed quickly. Wu Qing's appearance signified that it was already half-past eleven.
As a ghost, Lian Yun glanced out the window. Her vision was clear, and the werewolf's appearance was fully visible.
Lowering her head, the pain of being gnawed last night was vivid. Her eyes could only see her own blood and the werewolf's dark gray fur. She didn't even have the courage to meet the werewolf's gaze.
In just one night, her identity had shifted, and she no longer needed to fear the werewolf.
For some reason, an immense hatred for the werewolf ignited in Lian Yun's heart.
Watching the werewolf approach the castle step by step, she fantasized about being able to tear them to shreds.
She lowered her head to look at her own hands, wondering if, as a ghost, she possessed the ability to confront the werewolf.
From behind, the sound of footsteps ascending the stairs could be heard. It was Sheng Kaiwei's group, wanting to choose rooms first, believing this would increase their chances of picking the right ones.
Ning Wei's group disdained to compete with them. After all, they already possessed the ability to fight werewolves!
At this moment, a slender white hand gently patted Lian Yun's shoulder.
Lian Yun turned around and saw Qingqing, who had been wrongly accused earlier.
She retracted her previously aggressive attitude, a fawning expression on her face, "Considering we were on the same car before, can you please not hurt me?"
Lian Yun remained expressionless and urged Qingqing in a low voice, "The werewolf is coming soon. You should focus on whether you can pick a safe house first."
Qingqing didn't know if this was a yes or a no, but she didn't dare to pester her further. With twenty minutes left, she needed time to decide which room.
However, before leaving, she didn't forget to leave herself a way out. Disregarding that Ning Wei and the others were still sitting on the sofa, she whispered to Lian Yun, "Please, I really don't want to die."
She left after speaking, not seeing Lian Yun's clenched fists. Who wanted to die?
She could only blame this game. She was just an innocent person caught up in it.
Therefore, the more Qingqing spoke tonight, the more it provoked Lian Yun.
She thought she was creating an opportunity for herself, but in reality, she was sealing her own doom!
Because she had her back to everyone, no one saw the hint of hatred in Lian Yun's eyes.
With ten minutes left, Ning Wei and her group decided to go upstairs. If they all picked safe houses tonight, they planned to have a good night's sleep.
However, excluding safe houses, there were still ghosts who might help the werewolves open doors.
Ning Wei glanced at Lian Yun's retreating figure, then signaled her teammates with her eyes that they still needed to be vigilant tonight.
"Lian Yun, time is almost up. Are you still picking a room?" Ning Wei called out to her.
Lian Yun turned around, her gaze that could reveal her thoughts hidden away. She then smiled at Ning Wei and said, "Everyone knows I'm a ghost now, so there's no need to pretend. I'll just wait here for the werewolf to come."
"But tonight you were supposed to..." Ning Wei didn't finish her sentence, but her meaning was clear. She was reminding Lian Yun not to forget their deal: Sheng Kaiwei had to be eliminated tonight!
"Don't worry. Because I'm a ghost, I can see which room everyone is in through the door."
Hatred filled her eyes again. "Sheng Kaiwei will die tonight!"
Satisfied with the answer, Ning Wei gave Lian Yun a couple of words of caution about staying safe and then signaled everyone to go upstairs.
Although they let Sheng Kaiwei's group of eleven go up first to choose, it didn't mean they knew nothing.
They were perfectly aware of which floor that group was residing on.
Ning Wei's group intended to stay on the same floor to avoid situations where they couldn't hear a teammate's distress signal.
Song Zhi, familiar with the current floor occupancy, informed everyone before going upstairs, "There are three on the second floor, three on the third, and five on the fourth. Sheng Kaiwei is on the fourth floor."
Ning Wei's group consisted of seven people. To stay on the same floor, only the third and fifth floors were left.
"Which floor should we choose?" Yuan Yuan asked timidly.
"You all choose," Ning Wei didn't want to make every decision herself. She wanted to practice democracy to the fullest.
"The third floor. It's convenient for fighting, and we can climb up or run down. Ning Wei can also jump down safely," Teacher Mei considered all aspects, thinking of everyone's needs.
"Ning Wei, teach me when you have a chance. I want to jump down from a height coolly too," Tang Tang said seriously.
"I'm afraid you'll jump down coolly and then sprain your ankle," Zhu Yilian began to undermine her again.
The seven people went up to the third floor, bickering like this.
Just like last night, the first thing was to find out if there were any unlucky teammates.
Everyone was lucky tonight, and all of them picked safe houses.
"Don't let your guard down," Ning Wei said, and everyone understood her meaning.
Through Lian Yun, the ghost, they already understood what ghosts could do to guests. Therefore, even having chosen a safe house didn't guarantee absolute safety.
They were still half-believing Lian Yun, and there was another deeply hidden ghost in the castle. That ghost had single-handedly turned Qin An and Lian Yun into ghosts, and they still hadn't found any clues about it.
After closing the door, with only a few minutes remaining,
Ning Wei went to the window. Since the number of werewolves tonight was still the same as the number of guests, it meant that the werewolves they killed last night might very well return.
The room Ning Wei chose tonight was frighteningly clean. She couldn't even find a weapon.
Fortunately, Lian Yun had returned the dinner knife to her. Now, Ning Wei was a dual-wielding warrior.
As time passed and the werewolf drew nearer, Ning Wei's dinner knife was tucked into her waist, her fingers spinning a ring.
Suddenly, Ning Wei's eyes lit up. She saw an old acquaintance again!
As expected!
The werewolf had come back from the dead!
The limping werewolf also looked up and saw Ning Wei. The hatred in its eyes could not be contained, flowing out like a waterfall.
