Ignoring Bai Yang's surprised gaze, Ning Wei continued, "From now on, you and I will be inseparable. I remember your sister used to take care of you just like this."
Bai Yang could only nod dumbly.
Afterward, Ning Wei dragged her and forced her to lie on the sofa to sleep, claiming that they had to fight werewolves at night, so they must rest well during the day.
This was a torment for Bai Yang. The others were all living people, so sleeping was a necessity.
But she had not been human for a long time. If it weren't for hiding her identity, she wouldn't even need to eat with everyone.
Ning Wei lay on the same sofa as her. Moreover, Ning Wei was a restless sleeper, occasionally kicking her accidentally.
If not for Ning Wei's steady breathing, Bai Yang would have thought she was deliberately tormenting her.
Bai Yang thus lay on the sofa, her body crooked.
From day to night, her eyes flickered between being open and closed.
When night fell, no one planned to go upstairs anymore, as everyone had the most important weapon.
Someone couldn't resist, took out a silver dinner knife from under the sofa, and looked at it.
Ning Wei clearly noticed Wu Qing's gaze flick toward that direction, but she said nothing.
Therefore, it was reasonable to suspect that when Qing Qing reported them for stealing during the day, Wu Qing had actually heard it, perhaps even saw it from hiding, but deliberately let these few people go.
With this new discovery, Ning Wei began to re-examine Wu Qing.
At first, she had only regarded Wu Qing as a native of this place, an NPC who issued quests. But the longer they interacted, the more clues Wu Qing revealed.
She was not a simple NPC. She also had a quest, but due to the game's rules, she could not state it directly and could only reveal small details inadvertently.
This depended on whether the guests staying in the castle were observant enough.
As time approached, Wu Qing reappeared. Although she knew the guests no longer planned to go upstairs to find a safe house, she still had to go through the motions.
"Dear guests, time is up. Please go upstairs to find a safe house. I wish you a safe night."
After speaking, she vanished completely. Ning Wei stared at her, wanting to know where she hid, but Wu Qing was too fast for an ordinary person like Ning Wei to track.
Ning Wei stood up and stretched. Seeing the werewolves outside, she said to everyone, "There are eleven werewolves tonight. Don't let your guard down. While fighting the werewolves, don't forget to observe if any of your companions are making a move against you!"
Everyone remembered that there was still a ghost to be caught. Qing Qing and Qi Qi had not appeared since breakfast. The two men who died last night had also not shown up since morning. Therefore, there were twelve people in the hall.
At night, the ghost could not only open the door to the safe house but also attack guests from behind to help the werewolves. It was a case of being attacked from both front and back, so tonight's situation was not optimistic.
After Ning Wei's instructions, she directly took Bai Yang's hand and led her to a corner.
This place was easy to defend and difficult to attack, an excellent hiding spot.
"Stay here tonight and don't move around. I will deal with the werewolves around here and won't let them get close to you."
"Why..." Bai Yang was confused today because Ning Wei seemed to be treating her too well.
Ning Wei gently stroked her hair. "I dreamed of your sister while I was sleeping today. She warned me to take good care of you, or she wouldn't let me off."
Ning Wei said this seriously in a joking tone, not caring whether Bai Yang believed her.
"One minute left. Everyone, get ready." Mei Nan's voice rang out. Being older, he couldn't fight as well, so he stood at the back of the team, his current job being to announce the time every minute.
Hearing Mei Nan's voice, Ning Wei's expression became much more serious.
Holding the dinner knife in both hands, she stepped forward and stood in front of Bai Yang, truly shielding her from danger with her own body.
As the second hand moved, everyone began to tense up. Several people's palms sweated, and they kept wiping them on their clothes.
Everyone's attention was focused on the werewolves outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, failing to notice Bai Yang's gaze from behind.
She looked at Ning Wei with deep hatred, her eyes like knives, wishing she could flay Ning Wei alive.
Her gaze was intense, making Ning Wei feel as if she had a hundred eyes on her back. She felt it clearly.
There was a coldness in her eyes and a sneer on her lips, but her body still blocked in front of Bai Yang, not moving an inch.
The werewolves appeared on time, and everyone engaged in a fierce fight.
Tang Tang and another person formed pairs, covering each other's backs to effectively prevent any ghosts who might make a move from behind.
Ning Wei's combat power was even stronger tonight. Four werewolves had died last night, and her ring had absorbed a lot of blood, converting it into an endless energy source that continuously flowed into Ning Wei's body.
Bai Yang's expression changed. Holding the silver dinner knife, she watched the ensuing chaos with great tension.
Ning Wei targeted the werewolf leader. The two, one person and one wolf, fought from the left to the right of the hall, and then from right to left.
As they moved around the hall, unexpected situations were bound to occur, such as a werewolf suddenly getting very close to Bai Yang.
However, Ning Wei was faster, giving the werewolf no chance to harm Bai Yang.
Tonight's battle ended with the death of the werewolf leader. Without their leader, the pack of werewolves scattered and fled.
Tonight's victory was a record number of werewolves killed, and no guests died. However, everyone except Ning Wei sustained injuries.
Tang Tang began distributing special medicine according to the severity of everyone's injuries. Ning Wei walked to the werewolf corpses and crouched down, letting her ring absorb the blood.
Bai Yang noticed this and walked over gently, asking, "This ring seems very magical."
Ning Wei did not hide anything from her. She said shyly, "This is a treasure that Li Ye left me before he left. With it, I can be invincible."
"Then where did Li Ye go?" Bai Yang pressed, not forgetting that astonishing man.
Ning Wei's expression immediately drooped. She reluctantly replied, "He's dead."
Bai Yang knew she shouldn't ask further, but she didn't believe Li Ye would die.
Someone as god-like as him must have gone to a better place.
Her gaze fell on the ring on Ning Wei's fair finger, and a possessive glint appeared in her eyes.
Someone like Li Ye would never give a ring to anyone, so Ning Wei must have thrown a tantrum to get it!
Ning Wei directly demonstrated how useful the ring was in front of Bai Yang. She piled all the blood-drained werewolf corpses in a corner. She did all of this herself, even her breathing was terrifyingly steady.
