This act was in full view of everyone, so the four bewildered men also showed looks of astonishment.
However, Ning Wei was very aloof. Sensing the gazes from all directions, she simply swept them with a cold glance.
Feeling guilty, these people immediately retracted their eyes.
"Alright, we've safely passed tonight. Everyone should head back to their rooms and rest early," Mei Nan took the initiative to break the awkward atmosphere.
Although he didn't know why Ning Wei had to show off her ring in front of everyone tonight, she must have her reasons.
His gaze shifted from those four men to Bai Yang. All five of them had astonishment in their eyes, along with a greedy desire for a treasure they could not possess.
During the day, Ning Wei had suddenly been exceptionally good to Bai Yang. They suspected something was amiss.
Later, with Zhu Yilian's reminder, everyone understood Ning Wei's thoughts. It turned out she suspected Bai Yang was the elusive ghost.
"Right, right, I'm exhausted. I'm going back to my room to rest. Let's all go together," Song Zhi said as he pulled two men upstairs.
Everyone withdrew their gazes and followed them upstairs.
Finally, only Bai Yang and Ning Wei were left in the hall. The ring was too captivating, so Bai Yang, listening to the footsteps upstairs, couldn't bring herself to move an inch.
Zhu Yilian and the others, to avoid disturbing Ning Wei's plan, stiffened their necks and didn't urge Bai Yang upstairs.
Ning Wei had already tidied up the hall. All the blood that needed to be drained was drained, and the werewolves that needed dealing with were dealt with.
She turned back to look at Bai Yang and said with a smile, "Were you scared tonight? Go upstairs and rest quickly."
Bai Yang replied in a low voice, "Not really. Thanks to you protecting me tonight, otherwise I would have been injured like everyone else. Werewolves are really powerful."
When she said the last sentence, her eyes were fixed on the ring, her curiosity completely unconcealed.
Ning Wei seized the opportunity, "Yes, thanks to this ring, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to face the werewolves so easily."
"Sister, can I see this ring?" Bai Yang didn't think there was anything wrong with her request. She just wanted to take a look. Ning Wei shouldn't be so stingy, should she?
Seeing Bai Yang's naked curiosity, Ning Wei smiled slightly, covered the ring with her hand, and showed a hint of defensiveness, "This is a token of love from Li Ye, and it's also my protective treasure. I can't just let anyone see it."
To make Bai Yang give up, Ning Wei added, "Even Tang Tang and the others aren't allowed to see it. It's not specifically targeting anyone."
But hearing this, Bai Yang felt it was deliberately aimed at her.
She pulled at the corners of her mouth with a forced smile, "Since Sister is unwilling, I won't insist. We should go upstairs and rest early."
Ning Wei nodded, affectionately held Bai Yang's hand, and the two of them slowly walked up the stairs.
Bai Yang suppressed her disgust and didn't shake off Ning Wei's slightly warm hand. Ning Wei even solicitously urged her to go back to her room and sleep.
"You must have been frightened tonight. Your little hands are ice-cold. Go back to your room and lie down."
Everyone defaulted to staying on the second floor. If there were no available rooms on the second floor, they would choose from the floors above.
Ning Wei escorted Bai Yang to the second floor, then turned to go to another room.
Bai Yang silently breathed a sigh of relief. When Ning Wei had said her hands were cold, she had thought she had exposed something.
Moreover, during the day, to maintain her disguise, she had endured lying uncomfortably on the sofa with Ning Wei for the entire afternoon.
If Ning Wei were to share a room with her at night, Bai Yang would have been utterly devastated.
It seemed Ning Wei was considerate enough not to insist on sharing a room with her late at night.
Seeing Ning Wei go to another room, Bai Yang's eyes fixed on her swinging arm, which bore the ring she was determined to possess!
Ning Wei stood at the door of the room and deliberately turned to look at Bai Yang, who hadn't closed her door yet, reminding her, "Go to sleep. The werewolves won't come tonight."
Bai Yang tugged at her lips and slowly closed the door under Ning Wei's gaze.
Looking at the closed door, Ning Wei's smile faded. She rubbed her sore cheeks, thinking that if it weren't to confirm Bai Yang's identity, she wouldn't have forced herself to act all day.
After staying close to Bai Yang all day, Ning Wei was one hundred percent certain that Bai Yang was the first ghost!
Everything that happened in this castle was her doing. She had been scheming behind the scenes, using other ghosts as shields for her.
Unfortunately, her plan had a slight misstep, and she had revealed a flaw to Ning Wei.
Initially, Ning Wei hadn't suspected her, as Bai Yang had basically been active under her nose.
However, as the number of ghosts increased, her intuition began to focus on Bai Yang. To confirm her suspicions, Ning Wei had privately asked others about the rooms they chose each night.
By elimination, it could be confirmed that on the night Lian Yun became a ghost, Bai Yang was on the same floor as her!
And for those who became ghosts later, Bai Yang was on the same floor as them that night, without exception.
Although she knew that ghosts could open rooms at will, Bai Yang choosing to stay on the same floor as anyone she fancied was likely to avoid exposing her identity and to develop subordinates more quickly.
These reasons weren't enough, so tonight Ning Wei deliberately placed Bai Yang under her watch.
While fighting the werewolves, Ning Wei subtly made them approach Bai Yang from time to time. However, the werewolves treated Bai Yang as if she were air, showing no intention of attacking her.
It was this discovery that allowed Ning Wei to convince herself, and also to convince everyone else.
Werewolves don't think; they only attack living people. Ning Wei created several opportunities for Bai Yang and the werewolves to come into close contact. Although Bai Yang appeared flustered, the werewolves showed no reaction.
Bai Yang enjoyed this solo performance, and Ning Wei enjoyed watching it even more.
So now, in the entire castle, besides the people in Ning Wei's own team, there were only those four men left.
Ghosts had the opportunity to act at night. With two nights remaining, if Ning Wei led everyone to fight werewolves every night, unless Bai Yang wanted to reveal her identity, everyone could survive safely.
As for the other four ghosts whose identities had already been exposed, Ning Wei no longer cared about them.
There were two more days, which could be used to deal with two ghosts.
Ning Wei still had an important matter to resolve. Seeing that everyone had entered their rooms, she quietly closed her door and went downstairs.
She wanted to find Wu Qing. She had some doubts that needed Wu Qing to personally answer, and some plans that required Wu Qing's participation.
However, Wu Qing was not easy to find. Ning Wei searched every corner, including the backyard, but Wu Qing's trace was nowhere to be seen.
Finally, Ning Wei's gaze fell on the row of closed doors in the hall.
