Chat Group's Mole

Gao Tian wasn't completely desperate, because he still had a Black Card for the Living Person Apartment in his hand. As long as he used this Black Card, he could immediately leave the White House and return to a safe zone.

However, the consequence of doing so would be losing one of his most important life-saving methods, even more important than a Ghost Card. He would definitely not be qualified to participate in the exploration of the Fourth Floor afterward.

Therefore, Gao Tian would rather stay here and continue observing, sacrificing one or two Ghost Cards if necessary, than use this ultimate trump card.

The filthy thing extending from the Third Floor, like a giant white python with a human face, was slithering on the ceiling of the First Floor. The woman's face had lips like black holes, constantly emitting a creak creak creak sound effect.

Facing this supernatural phenomenon, the few remaining henchmen had completely lost their usual fierce and intimidating demeanor. Some were still futilely aiming their guns at the woman, repeatedly pulling the empty triggers; others had wet their pants, emitting a foul odor, and peed themselves on the spot.

"Zhao..."

The female ghost moved her lips, beginning her next death roll call.

Gao Tian retreated to the corner, calculating in his mind. Besides himself, there were four other people alive here. The probability of the female ghost picking him was one in five. With so much cannon fodder, he should be able to stall for a while longer, thinking of a life path out of here.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, the female ghost's neck stretched, and she appeared directly in front of him. Her eyeballs, with more white than black, her sallow skin, and the stench emanating from her dark mouth, all assaulted his face.

She had chosen him!

Gao Tian had nowhere to escape and could only stand there waiting for death. The female ghost's soul-summoning call echoed in his ears. The Vengeful Ghost's killing pattern had activated; he was next to die!

"Zhao Qiang...

"Zhao Qiang.

"Zhao Qiang!"

Hearing the voice repeatedly exhaled from the female ghost's mouth, Gao Tian's danger turned to joy. He had to exert great effort to keep himself from laughing out loud.

Because he was currently wearing Zhao Qiang's skin, this female ghost actually mistook him for Zhao Qiang!

Was she like Big Data Facial Recognition, determining a person's name and identity based solely on their skin?

It seemed the priority of the Shattered Face Ghost's pattern was subtly above that of the Third Floor's Long Neck Female Ghost.

The female ghost merely calling out a name couldn't possibly kill Zhao Qiang. The real Zhao Qiang had died long ago, his corpse even buried. And he had absolutely no relation to Zhao Qiang. Why were you calling me if you wanted to kill Zhao Qiang?

The scene was both terrifying and comical. But Gao Tian knew that he was still giving the female ghost some face. With her physique, tonnage, and speed, without relying on any killing pattern, just her entire body pressing down could crush Gao Tian to death.

After the three drawn-out calls of the name, Gao Tian clutched his chest and let out a muffled groan. He staggered forward a few steps, then fell heavily to the ground with a bang in a comfortable posture. He rolled his eyes and pretended to be dead.

Seeing that she had "killed" Zhao Qiang, the female ghost didn't linger on his "corpse." With a twist of her neck, she turned and chased after the others.

The surviving henchmen saw this scene and were utterly astonished, their jaws practically dropping.

What, that works too?

That exaggerated acting could fool the female ghost?

Moreover, the female ghost called Zhao Qiang's name three times. Why did the previous two victims die horribly on the spot, while the eldest, "Zhao Qiang," was completely unharmed and just lay down on the ground to sleep?

However, they were already simple-minded, and they didn't have time to think about this now. Because the female ghost's long neck had already turned, drifting towards their direction.

Seeing that they couldn't escape through the main door, the first-floor living room was actually quite large, but there were few rooms, making it inconvenient to deal with the female ghost. Some people directly rushed into the bathroom and locked the door. Others, in a moment of inspiration, turned and ran towards the second-floor stairs, trying to evade the female ghost.

When people are pushed to their limits, they can do anything. These few strong men scattered at once, and the female ghost couldn't wipe them out instantly.

The woman face suspended in mid-air remained silent for a moment, as if thinking. Then she immediately changed direction, retracted her neck, and drifted towards the second floor.

It seemed that the third floor of the old home indeed hid something important. The female ghost's priority was to kill those on the second floor, preventing them from accidentally stumbling onto the third floor.

At the same time, the first floor was temporarily abandoned by the female ghost. For a moment, the eerie giggling sound couldn't be heard. Gao Tian, who was pretending to be dead, opened a sliver of his eye. After confirming the female ghost had temporarily left, the first thing he did was open his mobile phone and click on the Jialan Society chat group.

Upon seeing the conversations in the group, Gao Tian knew something was wrong. Xu Yuan was surprisingly sensitive about his old home. The moment they stepped into the White House, Xu Yuan in the chat group sensed someone had arrived.

As for what a "Ghost Domain" was, Gao Tian wasn't too clear. But it definitely had something to do with the sky outside the White House suddenly turning blood red.

He speculated that the Ghost Domain should be a sealed space that had dragged the entire White House into an alternate dimension. The people trapped in the White House now would be instantly burned to death if they stepped out of a room, which was likely the work of the Ghost Domain.

No wonder Xu Yuan was so confident about his old home. Ordinary people who stepped into it would either be killed by the female ghost or voluntarily walk out of the White House, only to encounter the Ghost Domain outside.

The problem now was that his pretense of being dead was only temporary. After killing the others, the female ghost would definitely return to roam. Trapped in the White House by the Ghost Domain, his end would still be death sooner or later.

Looking at the group members praising Xu Yuan's Heaven and Earth Net without finding any flaws, Gao Tian, lying on the floor, was secretly anxious. The female ghost upstairs could kill everyone and return at any moment. Was there really no way out of this place?

In his urgency, Gao Tian suddenly thought of something.

The key to breaking the deadlock was the Ghost Domain outside. The female ghost was restricted by her main body on the third floor, and her range of activity was extremely limited. What was preventing them from escaping the White House now was the blood-red Ghost Domain that had engulfed them.

But he had no understanding of "Ghost Domain," a specialized term for supernatural events, let alone how to deal with it.

Who would know how to deal with a Ghost Domain?

The answer was simple: the ghost users in the Jialan Society chat group. They were Ghost Hunters in life, and became ghosts after death. The Ghost Domain was released by Xu Yuan. There was probably no one in this world who understood ghosts better than them.

Finding out about the Ghost Domain was simple. Gao Tian was now one of the chat group's users. Could he pretend to be curious and eager to learn, and proactively ask Xu Yuan for guidance?

This foolish idea, as soon as it surfaced, was suppressed by Gao Tian himself.

Doing so would truly be courting death.

The Ghost Cave was still suspicious of the living people in the group. The Living Person Apartment wasn't foolish either, not to mention there were so many other lurking ghost users watching.

If Gao Tian really asked in the group, such a sudden and direct question, it was impossible for no one to suspect him.

Don't look at the Ghost Infant's usual cheerful demeanor; she could truly kill people through the network cable. As long as one person in the chat group suspected his identity, the Ghost Infant might come for him the next moment.

So, the problem was that the person who knew the solution to the Ghost Domain was in the chat group, but Gao Tian couldn't ask directly. The problem had come full circle, returning to the original Death Path.

This isn't a Life Path at all; it's just choosing between two Death Paths.

[Living Person Apartment]:

From what I can see, it was just a false alarm. What entered my Old Home were just a few mice, not organized Ghost Hunters at all.

Getting rid of them is as simple as stepping on an ant. Releasing my Ghost Domain to deal with them would be a bit of a waste.

[Burning Death Ghost]:

@Living Person Apartment

So, here's the question.

The Ghost Domain blocks the escape route for those people, and then the ghosts you keep find and kill them one by one inside the house. This combination indeed leaves no Life Path.

If an Ordinary Person were trapped in this house, what should he do to break through the Ghost Domain outside and leave here alive?

(The Chat Group fell silent for a full half-minute)

Gao Tian, seeing this, widened his eyes, almost unable to believe what he was seeing.

This was the question he wanted to ask but dared not, and he never expected Burning Death Ghost to ask it for him.

Gao Tian suddenly understood why this guy was ostracized by other ghosts even when he was a ghost. Ghost Cave and the others treated him like air. This Big Brother truly had zero emotional intelligence, asking a bunch of suspicious questions at the most inappropriate times.

Of course, humans and ghosts have different standpoints. At this moment, from Gao Tian's perspective as a human trapped within the Ghost Domain, seeing Burning Death Ghost's message, he truly wanted to kowtow three times to his Mobile Phone, thanking Burning Death Ghost.

Facing Burning Death Ghost's untimely question, the other users in the Chat Group naturally ignored him. Ghost Infant simply typed three dots "." to express his indifference to Burning Death Ghost. The only one who replied to him was Ghost Cave, and it was filled with mockery.

[Ghost Cave]:

Why do you want to know that? Whose side are you on?

If you're so eager to help the living escape, I'm starting to suspect you might be that living person in the group.

[Burning Death Ghost]:

That's not it.

I was just asking casually. Why are you so fond of making a big deal out of things?

See, you're anxious again. It's your first time being a ghost, right? You see everyone as human.

[Ghost Cave]:

Heh.

It's good that you know yourself.

Who would ask this question out of the blue at this time?

If the chat log ended here, it could still be explained as the Burning Death Ghost having low emotional intelligence, acting on impulse, and not caring about the opinions of other ghosts, asking whatever he wanted.

In short, it would still be within the realm of understanding.

However, the next message the Burning Death Ghost sent left even Gao Tian somewhat shocked.

He even started to feel that the other ghosts were too tolerant of this guy, considering he hadn't been kicked out of the group yet.
