Zhao Mingyue watched Lu Liangting enter, and upon hearing Bai Yu’s words, she came back to her senses, her eyes filled with confusion.

“Will there be any danger?”

“Danger is certainly present. Whether this guy can come out or not, I can’t be sure. In any case, whether he succeeds or fails, your task is almost over. Think of a way to deal with the aftermath.”

Bai Yu narrowed her eyes. Just across the door, that female ghost was standing behind it.

Lu Liangting was also unlucky. He was chosen by that female ghost and was dragged into her memories. Now, there are only two possible outcomes: either Lu Liangting successfully resolves the female ghost’s resentment in her memories, or he dies in this room.

“What should we do now?”

“Go inside the room. It’s definitely not safe to stay outside. It’s safer inside.” Bai Yu’s finger pointed at the rusty keyhole. As soon as Lu Liangting entered the room, the key mysteriously broke off.

A twist of the key entangled in blood threads, and the door clicked open.

The moment the door opened, Bai Yu threw a straight punch, blasting the female ghost behind the door away.

The female ghost hit the sofa in the room, black smoke accompanied by countless thin blood threads spread out, and the female ghost disappeared within the room.

It has to be said that this female ghost still has some strength. If it came to a one-on-one fight, she would probably have to pay a certain price to kill her.

Bai Yu walked into the room with Zhao Mingyue following behind her.

At this time, Lu Liangting was slumped against the door. Bai Yu completely ignored him. Zhao Mingyue went over to check his breathing and confirmed that he was still alive, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

“This room, it feels different from what I imagined.” Zhao Mingyue stood up, looking around at the layout of the room.

The room was very clean. If not for the red filter effect, she might have thought someone still lived here. The whole room was spotless, the furniture neatly arranged, and there was some kind of carpet on the wooden floor.

The curtains were tightly drawn, and on the coffee table in front of the TV, there were two plates of snacks and melon seeds and peanuts. Even the paintings hanging on the wall were clean.

The furniture style is a bit old-fashioned, still stuck in the past two or three decades.

Normally, a home that is so neatly and carefully maintained would seem warm, but this place gave Zhao Mingyue no such feeling. Instead, she felt a chill down her spine.

Even if she didn’t know the past of this room in advance, she would probably be scared. Not to mention anything else, just the paper-burning basin placed in the center of the living room was creepy enough.

Yes, a paper-burning basin, no different from the ones used in memorial halls.

This room was already lacking in vitality, and with such an object for the dead in the middle, the result was that the more one looked at it, the less it seemed like a place for the living.

There was no trace of life to be seen here at all.

The air was also problematic, a faint musty smell mixed with a burnt scent and some indescribable strange odor, giving the first impression of “decay”.

In the man’s room downstairs, the surroundings began to catch fire, the room was a mess, looking like the aftermath of a fire, and even on the ground, you could see the black human-shaped outlines left by bodies melted by the fire.

Even in such an environment, Zhao Mingyue bravely rushed into the man’s bedroom, rummaging through the nearly charred furniture to find the key to room 506.

But in this clean and orderly room before her, she didn’t dare to move.

A strong sense of unease filled her senses. She always felt that something was staring at her.

After everything that happened tonight, Zhao Mingyue thought her courage should have grown, but after coming here, her fear seemed to have magnified a lot. She couldn’t even say what she was afraid of.

Especially when she thought of what Bai Yu said to her before the task started.

At that time, she found blood in the wall, and Bai Yu told her that it was very likely the blood of the female ghost, and the female ghost’s body was probably soaking in a room on the fifth floor.

She might be afraid of the female ghost’s body, soaked in some container and no longer human, or she might be afraid of the person who soaked the female ghost and used the pus from the female ghost to paint the walls.

“Bai Yu…” Zhao Mingyue spoke softly.

At this moment, Bai Yu was examining the paper-burning basin on the floor. Hearing Zhao Mingyue’s voice, she turned to look at her, “What’s wrong?”

“I, I’m a bit scared.”

“Being scared is normal. The owner of this room is not something those ghosts carved into the walls outside or the man on the fourth floor can compare to. But, if you’re really scared, then don’t go to the other rooms. Wait for me here.”

Bai Yu’s words warmed Zhao Mingyue’s heart. Although it was strange to find a sense of security in a fierce ghost, her feelings wouldn’t deceive her.

At that moment, Zhao Mingyue subconsciously wanted to reach for Bai Yu’s hand, but her hand paused slightly. Hesitating for a moment, she still reached into her backpack and took out the bloodstained doll, holding it tightly in her arms.

It’s as if Miss Rabbit could bring her great courage.

“I’ll still go with you.” Zhao Mingyue’s smile was stiff, but her tone was firm.

Bai Yu looked deeply at Zhao Mingyue, her gaze lingering on the doll in her arms for a moment.

“Okay.”

Not letting Zhao Mingyue take the lead, Bai Yu herself went into the bathroom first. She could feel that the female ghost’s corpse was there.

As soon as the door was opened, an indescribable stench hit them. Unlike the cleanliness outside, the condition of the bathroom was beyond description.

The white tiles were tinged with red, and the floor, walls, and ceiling were covered with black handprints and drag marks.

“Here…” Zhao Mingyue also entered the bathroom with the doll, and the first thing she saw was the unrecognizable female corpse in the bathtub.

The woman’s hands and feet, along with her head, were bound by chains and suspended. The other end of the chains was connected to the ceiling. The bathtub, besides the female corpse, was filled with red-black mud covering the corpse, so that only the limbs and head of the suspended corpse were visible, with the rest of the body buried in the mud.

Seeing the female corpse, Zhao Mingyue felt nauseous. She suddenly understood what the red-black soot under the white putty in the corridor was.

In the room, a third shadow gradually emerged.

At this moment, Zhao Mingyue had not yet noticed the appearance of the female ghost. A question popped into her mind.

“Wasn’t it said that the female ghost was burned to death with her children? If the mother is here, where are the two children?”
