159: Chapter 159 Grease

Jiang Xinyi didn't even take off her shoes; she hopped directly onto her bed and took off the shadow cards.

The edges of the cards were sharp, glinting with a cold, metallic sheen, but as she held them in her hand, they seemed to soften and become pliable.

"What a top-tier item!" Jiang Xinyi's eyes revealed her envy.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Jiang Xinyi looked at the handwriting written on them with a white marker.

This proved that Chen Mo had long since tested the properties of this item, in case there was a situation where he needed to pass information to his teammates.

And they were too far apart to communicate.

Chen Mo could use this method to relay information.

"His mind is indeed as meticulous as ever," Jiang Xinyi sighed.

Chen Mo had written a few lines very concisely on the top.

[1. 4 Ghosts, highest level 21, the rest decreasing in order]

[2. Deformed Humans]

[3. Leather gloves containing the aura of an evil ghost]

[4. President of the Paranormal Club, are you the traitor?]

Chen Mo and the President of the Paranormal Club had great chemistry and understood each other well, so Chen Mo knew that the President of the Paranormal Club would certainly be able to understand these few words he had written.

Besides, the surface area of the cards was small, so it was impossible to write anything more.

However... that last sentence left Jiang Xinyi full of question marks.

"Still suspecting me of being a traitor even now? Hmph, Chen Mo, oh Chen Mo, this actually exposes your inner thoughts."

"Deep down, you hold me in awe, thinking my deduction skills are superior to yours." Jiang Xinyi's lips curled up, feeling somewhat smug.

Immediately, she wrote down her thoughts on a small slip of paper and tried to tie it to the shadow cards.

To see if she could send it over to Chen Mo.

She went to the small window, reached out to tap on the door, and signaled Chen Mo to receive the delivery.

Chen Mo's heart stirred, and he activated Recall.

The shadow cards automatically slipped into the shadows and flew back into his palm.

Subsequently, Chen Mo saw the small slip of paper tied to the shadow cards.

He took it off to examine it carefully.

"Baby Chen Mo, don't let Fear cloud your judgment. Rest assured! The President of the Paranormal Club is here!"

It started with that sentence, and Chen Mo curled his lip.

"First of all, let me tell you that my dagger is an item; it can provide me with one extra piece of information every day."

"The reason I gave you the wrong directions back then was because I saw the information telling me to go that way."

"If you had followed the route I suggested at the time, we would have discovered right from the start that the Wax Museum actually is the entire forest."

"The information I received on the second day was that I needed to use a ghost to kill a ghost! I was very confused at the time because we hadn't encountered any ghosts from start to finish."

"Moreover, there is usually only one boss in a dungeon."

"So now it's clear: there are four ghosts in this dungeon. There might be some history and conflict between them that could lead them to kill each other!"

"Therefore, it's actually not about using our physical bodies to fight the ghosts, but finding something that can make them kill each other!"

"The small slip of paper Su Qing obtained earlier mentioned the Circus. I think... the remaining two ghosts should be related to the Circus."

"Those leather gloves of yours might just be the thing to induce the ghosts to kill each other."

"And... I swear on my reputation as the President of the Paranormal Club that I am not the traitor!"

"I suspected Meng Zhou was the traitor before, but he's dead now. There might not even be a traitor in this dungeon; we've both been overthinking it."

The message ended there.

After reading the words of the President of the Paranormal Club, Chen Mo felt as if the clouds had parted to reveal the sun.

Looking again at the yellow scroll in his hand, after unfolding it, inside was wrapped that pair of black leather gloves.

He felt that the President of the Paranormal Club was right; everything in the Thriller Game was logical.

No matter how strong a ghost is, there is a way to deal with it.

Furthermore, the information from the President of the Paranormal Club clearly pointed out that he needed to make a ghost kill a ghost!

Chen Mo recalled carefully in his mind, and a picture emerged.

When 1:00 AM arrived.

The once incredibly arrogant younger brother of The Artist suddenly looked terrified, his whole body trembling, and he immediately fled.

Then, the older brother ghost appeared, holding a shotgun.

Combined with the information from the Management Group.

Looking at it this way... the ghosts appeared in turns.

Then, if he could restrain the ghost currently present until the next ghost appeared, would the two ghosts start killing each other when they met?

He looked again at the leather gloves in his hand that contained the aura of an evil ghost.

Chen Mo understood.

These leather gloves were 100% an item for dealing with ghosts.

Now he still needed to find one thing: the item mentioned in the Management Group—the item left behind by the Group Leader that could skip the night.

The next day, Chen Mo and his group immediately set off to the King wax statue to grind their daily tasks.

For the voting activity in the Management Group, Chen Mo chose the lower difficulty option again this time.

It was called: The Mung Bean Sprouting Game.

Lao Liu was a bit dumbfounded when he saw this. He had originally thought that this person called Return to Zero was definitely a sycophant of Many Children Many Blessings.

Since he knew the difficulty was low on the first day, he would surely choose the high difficulty this time.

Unexpectedly, this kid didn't play by the rules and had already guessed his thoughts.

Moreover, this kid specifically timed it, just waiting to get the final deciding vote.

Today's daily task was even simpler: three transparent bottles were placed separately.

And the bottom of these three bottles was covered with a layer of paper towel.

He placed moist mung beans on the paper towels.

Then, he sprayed a little water into the first bottle.

The second bottle was kept dry.

And for the third bottle, he completely submerged the mung beans in water.

Finally, he asked Chen Mo to choose which bottle's mung beans would sprout.

"Mr. Chief of Staff, this..."

"The first bottle. Plant germination requires water, temperature, and air."

"The second lacks water, the third lacks air; only the first meets the requirements."

Following what Chen Mo said, the King saw the mung beans in the first bottle sprout and grow taller and taller, and he laughed from ear to ear.

Before they had time to accept the King's praise, Chen Mo and his group hurriedly took their rewards and went outside to look for clues.

Today's rewards were different from before; there were two rewards.

One was [Roommate Sleeping In for You]

The other was [Turn Into a Wax Statue, Plasticine!]

"We don't need the background stories of those mutants; they're roughly the same. We now need to find an item in Peters Town related to time. Everyone, be careful."

It was certain that the daytime was absolutely safe, so this time everyone split up to act.

The center of Peters Town was the fountain where the merman wax statue was placed.

Just as everyone was about to separate, Xu Xiaoman suddenly covered her mouth and pointed at the fountain that had suddenly started up.

Chen Mo turned around.

He saw that the fountain, which had originally only been spraying fine water droplets, suddenly had its water flow speed up.

The color of the water column was also mutating!

From clear, it turned dark red, and soon it became a blood fountain, spraying nothing but blood.

Upon getting closer, they discovered that a layer of yellow concentrate was floating in the fountain's pool.

"Chen Mo, could this be The Artist's paint?" Su Qing hid behind him.

"No! This is grease."

"When you usually eat noodles, have you ever noticed that a layer of oil or small drops of oil always float on top of the noodle soup?"

"That's because oil is insoluble in water, and water is denser than oil, so it can only float on the water's surface."

Hearing Chen Mo's explanation, Su Qing looked again at the grease in the water.

Just as she wanted to ask Chen Mo where this grease came from?

The next second!

A corpse floated up from the bottom of the pool, bubbles rolling.
