Chapter 208

Poor female secretary.

She didn't die at the hands of a ghost, but was instead killed by a person.

Sha Huaqiang rummaged through her things briefly but didn't find any residual incense or any items useful to Lotus Juanren.

This made Han Ke somewhat disappointed.

But Sha Huaqiang felt fortunate in his heart; he asked Han Ke cautiously: "How should we deal with the body?"

"Just leave it here. The team is scattered, and you and I never came to this room; who knows how this woman died?"

"In Fudi, no one has the patience to investigate the cause of death."

Han Ke waved his hand, kicked the female secretary's body to the side, opened the door, and walked out.

"Let's go, let's go find the three who got left behind."

Sha Huaqiang was stunned: "Aren't you afraid of that crazy woman..."

Han Ke smiled: "Why be afraid? Now we've experimented and found that people killing indigenous people doesn't give rewards, but ghosts killing indigenous people will drop good things. I hope those three who got left behind can give me a surprise."

Sha Huaqiang followed silently behind Han Ke.

He already had the answer to the question he asked Han Ke earlier.

Han Ke was indeed not afraid of that ghost; he fled in a panic with everyone else just to wait for the ghost to kill someone so he could loot the body...

This was Sha Huaqiang's first time entering Fudi.

To him.

People are much scarier than ghosts.

The thick fog was like thin gauze, roughly torn apart by the salty sea breeze.

Warm sunlight spilled down, dispelling the night's chill, but it couldn't dispel the smell of blood on people.

Wu Xian's group.

Returned to the hotel lobby on the first floor, exhausted.

They hadn't slept all night, and everyone had dark circles under their eyes; Wu Xian didn't stand out among them.

After killing the Possessing Ghost last night.

The reverse ghost-hitting-wall in the grave mound dissipated, and they successfully reached the grave mound, but only the three who came from the real world could see the small door in front of the grave; others, including Zhu Shuhui, couldn't see it, and they didn't encounter the villager ghosts again.

This meant that if Wu Xian wanted to get what was inside the door, he would have to come back next time.

Additionally, the sudden lifting of the ghost-hitting-wall also made Wu Xian realize that the ghost village villagers didn't belong to the ten types of ghosts they needed to film.

Because their reverse ghost-hitting-wall wasn't stopping Wu Xian and the other living people.

It was stopping ghosts!

Those villager ghosts were, for unknown reasons, very afraid of other ghosts, so much so that whenever those ghosts appeared, they would set up a ghost-hitting-wall to keep them from getting close.

Besides that.

Wu Xian and the others had a narrow escape last night; there were six people when they left, and six people when they returned.

Only Zhao Ying's body was buried hastily.

Li Qi had a bitter expression, and the worker Liu Kai was clutching his stomach, dizzy with hunger.

After waiting for a while.

The other groups also rushed back; although everyone was very tired, it was better to share information before going to rest.

First was the situation regarding sacrifices.

The first group, Yan Ting's group, had four people left: Yan Ting, Luo Shiyi, the bearded mercenary Chen Kui, and another mercenary Cai Xing; Long Wo and Chu Feng died miserably.

The second group, Liao Yifang's group, had five people left: Liao Yifang, Old Lady Liu, Yan Bingbing, An Haisheng, and Miao Shi.

Jiang Xiuping had already been possessed by a ghost and was wandering somewhere unknown, and Miao Shi's condition wasn't good either; one of his eyes had been gouged out, and he was now running a fever, lying on the bed groaning.

The third group, Lou Yaozong's group, only lost the fat senior student Zhen Xiaoling; the rest—Lou Yaozong, Zhang Wei, Li Wangyou, Qian Yunhe, and Tong Yuai—didn't even suffer any injuries.

Last night, they performed a series of operations in the hotel's large bathhouse, not only filming and killing the Water Ghost but also figuring out the rules for the Water Ghost's appearance.

The true form of the Water Ghost is a woman with a bloated, giant-view body.

She doesn't have the invisibility ability like the Ball-Playing Ghost, but her ability is even more eerie; she can turn into a pool of water and move slowly, lurking in any body of water with a diameter of over ten centimeters and a depth of over one centimeter, launching attacks on people who approach the water.

The woman killed by the Water Ghost on the first day must have been in the habit of storing water in the basin to wash her face, so she was drowned in the basin by the Water Ghost grabbing her face.

Additionally, they obtained a fragment of a portrait, which should come from the same portrait as the fragment in Wu Xian's hand; this portrait was kept by Lou Yaozong for safekeeping and will definitely come in handy in the future.

After hearing the introduction about the Water Ghost's abilities, Wu Xian felt slightly relieved.

He had been most worried about the Water Ghost before, but after knowing its abilities, he knew the Water Ghost's threat wasn't great.

The water they usually drink is bottled, with a diameter of less than five centimeters, and the toilet bowl diameter is also less than ten centimeters; as long as they don't store water when washing up and don't have the bad luck of encountering a clogged toilet, they basically don't need to worry about the threat from the Water Ghost.

Only Luo Shiyi's expression was very ugly.

Last night's horrific experience made him realize that they, as armed mercenaries, had no advantage over ordinary weak women when facing ghosts.

So he had made up his mind last night to take the remaining two mercenaries today and build a raft to leave Wonder Island.

It's very difficult for ordinary people to survive on a raft, but for mercenaries, this could only be considered slightly challenging.

But the existence of the Water Ghost shattered his fantasy; once they encountered the Water Ghost on the raft, they wouldn't even have a way to escape.

The fourth group's situation was the most miserable.

There were only three survivors: Han Ke was calm and composed, Sha Huaqiang had a pale face and vacant eyes, and the last indigenous lady, Mei Yunsheng, sat in the corner, giggling from time to time—she had clearly been scared out of her mind.

The situation of Wu Xian's group doesn't need much explanation.

When they started their operation last night, there were thirty healthy people; by tonight, only twenty-three remained, and eight people had died in last night's operation.

But there were results.

With so many people running around the island, they quickly obtained enough information; excluding the villager ghosts, nine of the ten types of ghosts they needed to film had already appeared.

Among them, the Ball-Playing Ghost, Possessing Ghost, Bed-Pressing Ghost, and Water Ghost had all been killed once, their true forms had been filmed, and the rules were relatively clear.

After everyone exchanged information, they wouldn't easily fall for the tricks again.

There were also five other ghosts: the Meat-Slicing Ghost, In-Belly Ghost, Monitor Ghost, Telephone Ghost, and Jumping-off-Building Ghost; everyone's understanding of these five ghosts varied in depth.

Filming these five ghosts is what they need to do tonight.

There was still a lot they could discuss.

But everyone was too tired, too hungry, and very thirsty; after a simple exchange of information, the Lotus Juanren returned to their rooms from last night to sleep.

After returning to the room.

Wu Xian hung the Soul-Gathering Mirror in the center of the room.

Before, even during the day, this room was shrouded in shadows that seemed impossible to melt away, and everyone had a feeling of being watched.

But the moment this mirror was hung up.

Everyone felt that the room seemed much warmer, their bodies became a bit more relaxed, and that eerie feeling of being watched was gone.

Everyone, exhausted from the night, left one person to keep watch, and the rest quickly fell asleep.

Whether it was because of the Soul-Gathering Mirror or not, everyone slept very soundly and felt very secure...
