76: Call at night

“Ah!!!”

A terrified scream came from the living room.

Li and Mo in the room exchanged glances, not even bothering to put on clothes as they rushed towards the living room!

When they arrived, the short-haired man's gaze was blank, and his expression was scattered.

“Short-hair, Short-hair!”

The two men went up to him and shook him vigorously.

After a series of shakes, the man gradually regained consciousness.

“What’s going on? What did you see?!” The chubby middle-aged man shouted into the short-haired man's ear.

“Ghost! There’s a ghost!” The short-haired man was in extreme panic.

Li and Mo quickly looked around.

Aside from the area illuminated by the table lamp, the entire house was as dark as an abyss.

“Don’t be scared. As long as you’re okay, we won’t sleep either. The three of us will stay up all night together.”

Mo quickly made a decision.

In this situation, it was clear they couldn't split up anymore.

“Yes, yes, yes, we’ll stay together, right here.” Li was also clearly frightened.

The orange table lamp only illuminated an area of two or three meters.

The three of them sat on the sofa, feeling slightly more at ease.

“Want a cigarette to calm your Qi?” Mo took out a cigarette and offered it to the short-haired man beside him.

He shook his head: “I don’t smoke.”

“Then you smoke, Li.” Mo’s eyes flickered slightly as he offered the cigarette to the young man on the other side, lighting one for himself as well.

Perhaps because they felt the ghost was nearby, the atmosphere among the three was a bit heavy.

“I, I need to use the restroom.” The short-haired man said fearfully, looking at Mo and Li.

“Li, go with him. This kid is more timid than a mouse.”

Mo patted the young man beside him.

“Ugh, so much trouble.” Li grumbled.

Watching the two get up and head to the restroom, Mo took a deep drag from his cigarette.

“Li, don’t blame me, Uncle. Everyone wants to live.” Mo muttered to himself, looking at the door not far away, a resolute glint in his eyes.

“Ah!!!”

From the restroom, Li’s cries emerged: “Uncle Mo, save me! Short-hair is fake, he’s a ghost!”

The brief scream abruptly stopped.

Subsequently, a dark ghost figure no longer concealed itself and appeared in the living room.

However, Mo was not there.

He turned to look.

“Bang~” The Hotel door was shut, and Mo ran directly out of the room!

The corridor was pitch black.

Mo didn't know if the ghost in the room would chase him out, but he absolutely understood that he couldn't linger in the corridor at night!

Relying on some memory, Mo arrived at a door and frantically knocked on it.

The “bang bang bang~” knocking sound echoed far and wide in the quiet, eerie corridor… “Click.” The door opened, and a stern-faced man revealed half of his body.

“Are you looking for death?”

“Brother, brother, please, let me in. I have no way out now!”

“Why should I let you in?” Chu Ze’s voice was cold.

If it weren't for a strange feeling, he would have kicked the man away immediately.

“I know information about ghosts, I know how to deal with them!” Mo lowered his voice, speaking rapidly.

His eyes flickering, Chu Ze stepped aside: “Come in.”

This scene was fully captured by the Devils Livestream.

It also caused exclamations from a vast number of netizens.

“This guy actually took it upon himself to let this man in, he’s crazy!”

“To save himself, he pushes others into the fire. How can such a person be taken in?”

“But speaking of which, this Chu Ze also treated Jiang Ye the same way when the hide-and-seek started. Are these two in cahoots?”

“Wuwuwu~ Poor Fanfan, now he has to be with these two devils.”

The camera of the Devils Livestream gradually changed.

It focused on Mo’s room.

The door opened from the inside, and a dark ghost figure walked out.

Looking around, the ghost figure went to the adjacent room 304... Time gradually moved into the latter half of the night.

Second floor.

201, the first room on the second floor.

Jiang Ye was in a light sleep.

It was believed that all survivors in the Hotel were either in a light sleep or staying up at this time.

However, as time passed, light sleep gradually turned into deep sleep.

“Hoo hoo hoo~”

A Great Wind blew outside the window.

The interior curtains swayed slightly.

Vaguely, Jiang Ye felt as if a delicate body was pressed against his.

A trace of coldness brushed across his cheek.

He suddenly opened his eyes.

A face, incredibly close, came into Jiang Ye’s view.

His breathing suddenly hitched, but after seeing the person on him clearly, he let out a sigh of relief.

“What are you doing?!” Looking at Qiu Zhi, who was lying on him, Jiang Ye felt his mouth was somewhat dry.

“Under our bed, there’s someone.”

Qiu Zhi expressed her fear.

This sentence instantly cleared Jiang Ye’s mind.

There’s someone under the bed? Is it really a person?

Turning on the table lamp, Jiang Ye held a Dragon’s Breath chili in his hand.

The System had told him that this level of chili had a certain chemical damage to ghosts, and this was his only means of attack at the moment.

He went under the bed.

Jiang Ye indeed saw a person.

But this person… looked exactly like Qiu Zhi!

She was trembling all over, and the moment she saw Jiang Ye, she suddenly grabbed him: “Jiang Ye, on the bed, there’s a ghost on the bed!”

The instant he heard this sentence.

Jiang Ye suddenly looked up!

A pale face directly approached!

Feeling the chilling Qi.

Jiang Ye gritted his teeth and directly pressed the chili in his hand onto the ghost’s eye socket, squeezing out its juice!

What reaction would occur when a 2.48 million Scoville unit chili encountered a ghost?

It was pain!

In just a breath’s time.

The evil ghost let out a sharp howl.

When Jiang Ye was about to take out a second chili to press the attack.

The female ghost on the bed disappeared.

Outside the window, a cold wind, carrying a dampness of blood, blew into the room.

The cold sweat on Jiang Ye’s body, as it evaporated, made him shiver.

“Are, are you okay?” Qiu Zhi crawled out from under the bed, looking very disheveled.

“How did you end up under the bed?” Jiang Ye was very confused.

They were clearly both sleeping on the same bed.

“I don’t know either. When I opened my eyes, I was already under the bed, and at that time, I couldn't move or speak at all!”

Qiu Zhi recalled, feeling utterly terrified: “Did that ghost, did you scare it away?”

“Sort of.” Recalling it, the cold sweat on Jiang Ye’s forehead hadn't dissipated yet.

“Will she come back then?”

“Definitely.” Jiang Ye didn't give Qiu Zhi any hope.

Then he said seriously: “We still shouldn’t sleep. We’ll stay up all night tonight.”

“Sleep, I don’t dare to sleep anymore.” Qiu Zhi inhaled a breath of cold air.

“Hoo hoo hoo~”

The wind outside gradually grew stronger.

The slightly damp air indicated that there would likely be heavy rain tonight.

“Ding-a-ling-a-ling~”

Suddenly, a clear telephone ringtone sounded from the black landline phone on the bedside table.

“Ding-a-ling-a-ling~”

The telephone ring was very loud, very sharp.

It even made Jiang Ye and Qiu Zhi suspect that this sound had already left the room and echoed throughout the second-floor corridor!

“It’s so noisy, should we answer the phone?”

Qiu Zhi asked Jiang Ye.

And looking at this black phone, Jiang Ye asked the System.

“System, what should I do?”
