Zhao Mingyue is in grave danger now, as thirty-one murderous lunatics have set their sights on her. Regardless of how these lunatics fight amongst themselves, how they vie for and protect the five supporting characters, Zhao Mingyue remains their common enemy.

Killing Zhao Mingyue is akin to solving an external problem; once she’s dealt with, the internal strife is trivial.

At least there won’t be the awkward situation where they weaken other competitors, only for the male lead to be conquered by the female lead first.

They are lunatics, not fools; they know that feelings cannot be forced. Once the male lead develops affection for the female lead, real trouble ensues. Even if the female lead is killed, it would be futile and might even increase the difficulty of their conquest.

Therefore, it is imperative to nip it in the bud—the sooner Zhao Mingyue is eliminated, the better.

And it’s not just Zhao Mingyue; any woman attempting to get close to the male lead will be dealt with by the lunatics shadowing him.

Those who now approach the male lead and the other four supporting characters are either fond of the male lead or participants in the game.

They have all been turned into beautiful girls, yet they are unaware of each other’s identities and appearances.

In summary, her conquest target is the female lead, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

The advantage is the lack of competition from other participants; the disadvantage is that she must face all other participants alone.

At 6:20 AM, the rabbit-eared cell phone began to vibrate slightly, and a beautiful piano melody echoed in the bedroom. About half a minute later, Zhao Mingyue slowly opened her eyes and slid off the alarm on her phone.

Feeling her eyelids heavy as if they weighed a thousand pounds, even opening a slit made her feel a slight burning sensation, forcing her to close her eyes and go back to sleep.

Having fallen asleep close to 5 AM and needing to wake up before 6:30 AM, she groggily wanted to sleep for another ten minutes when a sudden chill startled her, making her sit up with a whoosh from under the covers.

Stiffly turning her head, she saw the figure in a white dress standing by her bed, unkempt black hair framing dark eyes that stared at her.

“Get up.”

“Get… up?” Zhao Mingyue blinked, not expecting Bai Yu to personally wake her.

This ghost was a bit too ‘gentle,’ wasn’t she?

And to offer such a service?

Woken up early in the morning by a ghost, Zhao Mingyue lost all desire to sleep.

Bai Yu glanced at her and ignored her. It must be said that the girl was indeed beautiful, no wonder she’s the heroine.

Her short hair was neat and tidy yet cute and lively, especially when she had just woken up and had not groomed herself, those sleepy eyes trying hard to open, even looking a bit dazed. Her face didn’t strike one with a sudden wow factor, but the more one looked, the more attractive the girl seemed.

Especially those eyes—Bai Yu was certain that if she fell into the hands of those lunatics, her eyes would definitely be gouged out as collectibles.

Seeing Bai Yu still standing by the bed and sizing her up, Zhao Mingyue quickly got out of bed, and in front of Bai Yu, she took off her pajamas and started changing into her clothes, putting on her work uniform that read “Tomorrow’s Convenience Store.”

A peerless beauty changing clothes in front of her, even though she was still in her underwear, Bai Yu silently looked away, considering it impolite to stare.

After changing into her work uniform, Zhao Mingyue walked past Bai Yu. She wasn’t as afraid of Bai Yu anymore and even tried to ask, “Do you need to eat?”

Noticing Bai Yu’s look as if she was staring at an idiot, Zhao Mingyue gave an awkward smile, “Okay, then, I won’t open the curtains, I’m going to make breakfast, and then I have to go to work.”

It was Saturday, her day off, but unfortunately, there was no holiday, only work.

“Hmm.” Bai Yu nodded lightly and followed Zhao Mingyue out, standing in the living room but not following her to see her wash up. Instead, she stood in front of the living room curtains.

In June, it was already bright before 6:30 AM, and the light shining through the curtains gave her an uncomfortable feeling.

Rushing through her morning routine and hastily preparing breakfast, Zhao Mingyue’s breakfast consisted of only two slices of bread and a cup of milk. Bai Yu saw her wanting to take a hot dog from the fridge, hesitating for a moment before giving up.

The heroine was a bit poor, living a frugal life but full of sunshine, vitality, and spirit—a typical heroine character setting.

After breakfast, it was already 6:45 AM. After a quick tidy up of the room, Zhao Mingyue was ready to leave, her hand on the living room doorknob when she remembered something and turned back to look at Bai Yu.

“I’m going to work now. Are you staying at home waiting for me to come back, or…”

Before she could finish, Bai Yu entered her shadow.

At the same time, Bai Yu’s ethereal voice rang in Zhao Mingyue’s ear: “Be careful lately. There are a few murderers in town recently, targeting girls like you.”

“Ah, this…” Zhao Mingyue paused, looking down but unfortunately not seeing her own shadow, as the light in the room was too dim. Still, she nodded vigorously: “Thank you for the warning, I’ll be careful!”

A warmth filled her heart unexpectedly. This was truly a ghost among ghosts. They were both ghosts, yet why was there such a big difference? The guy upstairs was both peeping at her and wanting to kill her, but look at this Sister Bai, truly a good person, no, a good ghost!

Sigh, if only she knew why such a kind sister had died. Since she was a fierce ghost, she must have had a lot of resentment and obsession. Maybe she was killed by a murderer.

Remembering the introduction to Miss Rabbit on the black cell phone, that little girl named Bai Sisi was brutally murdered and dismembered. Perhaps that’s why Sister Bai had such such great resentment.

Having already gone downstairs, Zhao Mingyue went back and stuffed Miss Rabbit into her backpack.

She had a thought: if she ever became capable, she would definitely help Sister Bai catch those murderers and give her remains a proper burial, allowing her to rest in peace.

If Bai Yu knew Zhao Mingyue’s thoughts at this moment, she would definitely look at her like she’s a fool.

“Huh? Why am I still on the fourth floor?”

Descending from the fourth floor, Zhao Mingyue didn’t check the floor number. She remembered walking down four flights of stairs, but turning around, the wall behind her still indicated it was the fourth floor.

“This…”

Zhao Mingyue, refusing to believe it, hurried down another floor, and turned to look back, she saw it was still “4”.

After last night’s baptism, she was convinced of the existence of ghosts, so facing this situation now, her mind instinctively thought of something.

“Did I encounter a ghost wall?” ¹

Taking a deep breath, she decided to try descending another floor. She deliberately left her backpack on the ground, only to find it still there after going down.

“Hisss, it really is ghost wall…”

She frantically called out Bai Yu’s name in her mind.

If it was indeed ghost wall, surely the ghost in her shadow would have a way to deal with it, right?
