Complete Subversion

"You're crazy!"

Fang Shenyan and Yu Guo, who had been discussing the plan, had no objections. Instead, Cao Yuan, who had been watching from the rear without doing anything, rushed forward at this moment.

At the same moment he got close, he tried to snatch the knife from Yu Guo's hand!

Cao Yuan's originally somewhat tender face was now completely covered in a deathly pale hue, squeezed out by panic!

"Are you guys crazy! What's next door? It's a ghost!

I tolerated it when you wanted to provoke it earlier, but now you want to go even further. This is risking everyone's lives!"

Yu Guo frowned as he looked towards the opening. The ghost was about to reach the opening, and he could already see its two straight legs.

He placed his hand on Cao Yuan's shoulder and said with a sneer:

"Brother, didn't you hear Ji Li's deduction? Don't worry, even though it's a ghost, it can't hurt us right now!"

Cao Yuan's usually timid nature suddenly reversed. He violently shook his arm and roared through gritted teeth:

"Ji Li? Why should I believe his deductions!

At the very least, we're not dead yet, and we haven't been attacked!

If a complete dead end breaks out because of your unauthorized actions, who will be responsible!"

Fang Shenyan's expression grew colder, his eyes beneath his glasses devoid of any pity.

"If we're wrong, we're wrong. We were going to die anyway."

"Go to hell, Fang Shenyan! You've lived long enough, but I haven't! I'm only seventeen!"

Cao Yuan's eyes were red. He was timid and foolish.

But what he said wasn't entirely unreasonable.

Fang Shenyan and Yu Guo hadn't fully believed Ji Li's theory about the killing pattern either, which was why they were making repeated attempts to verify its accuracy.

It was inevitable that such an approach would lead to extreme situations, and it was normal for Cao Yuan to be afraid.

"Stop the nonsense! The arrow is on the string; it has to be fired!"

Yu Guo was too tired to argue with Cao Yuan anymore. His attention was entirely on the opening.

He could already hear the footsteps from the other side. He could sense the ghost gradually lowering its body!

Fang Shenyan looked at Cao Yuan, who was still in a frenzy, and his lips curled slightly.

Then, he raised his leg and kicked Cao Yuan in the chest!

The kick was powerful and came too suddenly. Cao Yuan was still trying to stop Yu Guo's actions and never expected that Fang Shenyan, his companion, would attack him!

Cao Yuan felt a dull ache in his chest, as if he had been hit by a truck. He was sent flying backward and slid several meters on the smooth floor tiles.

He only stopped when his spine hit the bed frame.

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of blood spurted from his nose and mouth. Fang Shenyan hadn't held back at all with that kick, as if he intended to kill Cao Yuan!

Cao Yuan's breathing grew more rapid. His head rested against the bed frame, and he weakly moaned a name: "Fang... Shenyan!"

Fang Shenyan walked gently to Cao Yuan, who was on the verge of unconsciousness, and habitually pushed his glasses up.

"Regardless of whether our predicted escape route succeeds...

I'm sorry, Cao Yuan.

You, who have lost your ability to act, might become the ghost's priority target, delaying it for a longer time for useful people like us.

Your life isn't that valuable, but it depends on how it's used."

Yu Guo, standing nearby, frowned. He wanted to say something, but after biting his lip, he offered no objection.

He was now certain that Fang Shenyan was not just a teacher.

He was a cold-blooded madman, but there was one thing that Yu Guo, having now witnessed the ghost, was beginning to agree with.

"Human lives, here, are truly not valuable!"

"Stop! Stop the ghost from killing..."

Ji Li's toes were still pressed against the windowsill of Room 701. In just two minutes, his feet had gone numb, but his mind was still constantly calculating how to prevent the ghost from killing!

He was completely unaware of the situation with Fang Shenyan's group, but he had already reached the window of Room 702.

However, when he looked inside, he couldn't help but be stunned.

He actually saw the ghost in the raincoat rushing straight towards the corner of the wall, as if Fang Shenyan's group had thought of a way to stop it.

"What did they do?"

"How the hell should I know? Who are you asking?" The Second Personality had clearly lost its reason amidst the chaotic information and situation.

Only the Third Personality was still muttering an analysis:

"Judging by the ghost's behavior, it seems to have been attracted and provoked by Fang Shenyan and the others, causing it to give up on killing that woman..."

"But something feels off..."

"It is off!"

Ji Li's mission experience far surpassed Fang Shenyan and the others. He had previously attempted to provoke ghosts, drawing their attention to the staff.

But that idea was immediately shot down.

His numerous encounters with ghosts had taught him that they possessed no emotions or complex temperaments.

They were purely about slaughter!

Perhaps more powerful ghosts possessed the intelligence to scheme against the living.

But they would never be provoked by ordinary words or actions...

Such complex behavior represented humanity, something a ghost should absolutely not possess!

Ji Li's gaze flickered as he watched the increasingly bizarre situation unfolding in Room 702. He shook his head vigorously, refocusing his vision on the bedroom within Room 702.

This bedroom was far less tidy than Room 701. At the very least, it was evident that someone lived here.

Many items were placed haphazardly in various corners of the room, making it look very messy.

Ji Li only glanced at it, not delving into further details. His attention was divided between the ghost in the raincoat and the woman lying motionless on the bed!

This was the second deeply involved and uniquely positioned individual in this mission!

The owner of Room 702, the woman who was being watched!

From Ji Li's vantage point, the woman's hair was disheveled, completely obscuring her face. She wore a simple dress and lay flat on the bed.

If her chest hadn't been rising and falling slightly, Ji Li would have believed she was already dead!

But as he watched, Ji Li felt that this woman was also very strange.

There was no specific reason; simply seeing her body lying there evoked a feeling of unease and resistance within him!

And at that very moment!

He suddenly saw the ghost in the raincoat, which had been hunched over by the wall, let out a deafening scream!

Even through the thick glass, he felt his eardrums threatening to burst!

Opening his eyes wider, he saw the ghost in the raincoat retreating frantically, vast amounts of blood splashing onto the ground!

The ghost's right eye socket was like a burst lychee, with blood and gore trickling down its pale face!

After several painful struggles and roars, in Ji Li's sight, the "ghost" fled in panic!

It was at this precise moment that Ji Li seemed to discover something, his eyes narrowing into slits.

He pulled up his sleeve and wiped the glass window vigorously. Where the man in the raincoat had fled, he had dropped a mobile phone...

The phone was very ordinary, but as it lay face up, Ji Li clearly saw a comical and cute cartoon pattern.

A pink plush bear!

Ji Li's mind roared, and he froze completely, as if struck by lightning!

"The man in the raincoat...

This perverted man, this man who should be a ghost, had a phone case with that pink plush bear!"

Just as Ji Li was caught in a storm of confused thoughts, the woman who had been lying on the bed suddenly moved...

Her head slowly rotated a hundred and eighty degrees, twisting to an extreme limit in a posture no human could achieve!

Her messy black hair cascaded down, revealing a terrifying face with a grotesque, gigantified mouth.

She flashed Ji Li a soul-chilling, sinister smile!

Ji Li's scalp prickled. It was only now that he finally realized.

Room 701, Room 702...

What kind of subversive truth lay at the heart of this ghost mission that began with peeping!
