~7 min read 1,313 words

Looking at the hotel in front.

Ma Xiaoling said solemnly: "My intuition tells me that there is something very wrong with this hotel."

Mao You said: "My intuition is the same."

Although she lost her spiritual power, she was a descendant of the Mao family after all, and some instincts still existed.

Mao You turned her head again and asked Chen Shude: "Officer, why did you choose this hotel?"

Chen Shude smiled: "To choose a venue for an actual combat test, naturally, one must choose a location with atmosphere."

"This hotel did indeed have ghosts before, which is why it went out of business, but many masters have come to perform rituals, so there shouldn't be any problems."

After saying these words, he walked to the front of the members and said solemnly: "The higher-ups attach great importance to the results of this actual combat test. If they fail, the whole team will likely face disbandment."

"So what if there really is an abnormality? Can't you cope with emergencies?"

Hearing this, Mars puffed out his chest and said: "No Sir, we won't let you down."

A look of satisfaction appeared on Chen Shude's face. He looked at Mao You and Ma Xiaoling and said: "Mao Sir, Ma Officer, if there are no problems, let's start the test! I'll leave it to you."

Seeing him say this, Mao You and Ma Xiaoling didn't think much anymore.

Ma Xiaoling flipped her hand to take out eleven Lucky Stars and said to the members: "This test is not only an evaluation of the ability of your team but also a test of your cooperation with Officer Mao."

"There are ten good ghosts here and one evil ghost that specializes in possessing people. Your task this time is to find the evil ghost and catch it within an hour."

"As long as you catch the wrong one or hurt a good ghost, your whole team will fail, understand?"

All the members shouted in unison: "Yes Madam."

Ma Xiaoling threw the Lucky Stars in her palm toward the hotel. The Lucky Stars that left her hand turned into ten green lights and one red light and flew into the hotel.

"Test starts."

Following Ma Xiaoling's order, Arrow and many members quickly formed two assault teams and rushed toward the hotel quickly in combat formation.

Mao You and the others turned back and got into the command vehicle behind them. The vehicle had surveillance videos connected to the cameras on the members' helmets.

The real-time communication system also allowed Mao You to deploy the entire team in real-time and provide information support.

"Group A, follow me. Group B, go to the stairs on the right..."

"Yes Sir."

Inside the command vehicle, Mars's on-site command voice sounded through the amplifier.

Mao You had already put on the communicator and began to arrange strategic goals: "The first thing is to find out which one is the evil ghost from the eleven ghosts, and then lock onto the target and pursue it with all your might."

"Remember, without my approval, no one is allowed to open fire. You only have one chance. Once you make a wrong judgment, the mission will completely fail."

"In addition, the results obtained from subduing evil ghosts and killing evil ghosts are also different. Unless it's a last resort, you must never open fire easily."

Ma Xiaoling sat leisurely on the side flipping through a magazine, while Wang Zhenzhen and Chen Shude stood behind Mao You, paying attention to the situation of the members.

From the beginning until now, Wang Zhenzhen had not said anything because she always remembered what happened last night.

Su Xuan asked her to place that box in the hotel, what exactly was it for?

What was wrong with this hotel?

Just at this moment, one of the screens turned into static; that was Mars's camera.

Chen Shude's expression stirred, and Mao You said nervously: "Mars, is there something wrong with your camera?"

Mars's voice came from the communicator: "What's wrong?"

Mao You said: "Your surveillance image has disappeared."

Mars said calmly: "Maybe the battery has a problem. It doesn't matter, the communicator is working normally, I will report at any time if there is a situation."

As soon as he finished speaking, a member's voice sounded from the communicator, "Captain, I have a discovery."

Mao You quickly looked at the surveillance image of the reporting member. It was a ghost holding a book, pacing in the corridor, emitting green positive energy.

Afterward, a member's voice also came: "Group B found two ghosts on the third floor."

Mao You said: "All three ghosts emit positive energy, they are good ghosts, mark them."

The test was proceeding nervously. Chen Shude suddenly said: "I'm going out to smoke a cigarette."

"Oh!"

None of them cared. Ma Xiaoling was still reading her magazine, and Wang Zhenzhen and Mao You focused on the surveillance video.

Time passed second by second. When there were only about ten minutes left until the end time, all eleven ghosts were found.

Mao You looked at the screen suspiciously and said: "Did I make a mistake? How come all eleven ghosts are positive energy?"

She thought of something, turned her head to look at Ma Xiaoling and asked: "Ma Xiaoling, did you do something?"

Ma Xiaoling didn't look back and said as if nothing had happened: "A little bit! People have hypocrites, and ghosts have fake good ghosts. There are only ten minutes left!"

Mao You: "..."

Looking at Mao You's depressed expression, Wang Zhenzhen, who knew Ma Xiaoling's character well, immediately had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

Without a doubt, Ma Xiaoling was playing a little joke on these members.

Ma Xiaoling said to Mao You again: "This is to test their ability to adapt to circumstances, not to deliberately tease them."

Chen Shude, who had long returned to the command vehicle, said dissatisfiedly: "But you didn't say beforehand that you would temporarily change the energy of the evil ghost."

"What's the difference between this and asking brain teasers when taking a math test?"

Ma Xiaoling said as a matter of course: "Of course there is a difference. Math is the most rigorous subject, and asking brain teasers is indeed messing around."

"But they are not doing math problems, they are catching ghosts. In the process of catching ghosts, any unreasonable situation is reasonable. This is the supernatural."

Chen Shude was speechless, but his dissatisfaction was just for show.

His purpose from the beginning was to get that red cylinder, which was the spiritual weapon, Alice's music box.

As long as he could achieve this goal, whether those members could pass or whether they would be disbanded, he didn't care at all.

When applying for activity funds before, he had already made a big profit. As long as he got the music box and the buyer's reward, even if he retired immediately, he could live the life of a rich person.

On the other side, Mao You ignored the argument between Chen Shude and Ma Xiaoling because it was meaningless. She continued to arrange tactics there.

"Everyone listen, Ma Xiaoling changed the energy of the evil ghost. The evil ghost is now also disguised as a good ghost. You drive all the ghosts to the lobby."

There were three minutes left until the end time. All eleven ghosts had long been driven to the lobby, but neither Mao You nor the members on the scene could distinguish the identity of the evil ghost.

Mao You also began to get anxious, stroking her hair back repeatedly.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Arrow played a role.

Arrow had a flash of inspiration and finally discovered the key to the problem, distinguishing who was the evil ghost.

It was also because of Arrow that many members successfully passed the test.
