In the First-Floor Lobby, Ning Rongrong was covered in blood. The Ghost Skin inside her was reawakening wildly, squeezing her bones until they cracked.
Enduring the excruciating pain, she staggered toward the heavy golden door.
Now that she had officially joined the Paranormal Forum, she had permission to use the Ghost Cabinet herself.
Her fingerprint was verified, and the golden door slowly opened.
Dragging her battered body along, Ning Rongrong entered the cold, oppressive golden chamber.
The decaying Ghost Cabinet stood silently in the center, giving off a nauseating smell of mold.
Without hesitation, Ning Rongrong bit her finger and used her blood to write a line on the Ghost Cabinet's wooden panel.
"Help me suppress the ghost reawakening inside me."
After writing that sentence, she paused.
She had already experienced the Sheepskin Paper's cunning. The paths to survival it offered often came with deeper traps.
The Sheepskin Paper had told her to give it to Yang Jian, but what if she still died after handing it over?
Ning Rongrong's gaze hardened. Pressing her finger down again, she added a few more words.
"I want to live for three days."
Now that she understood the Sheepskin Paper's cunning, she intended to use the Ghost Cabinet's rules to force an extension of her life.
But she could not make the terms of the deal too demanding, either, or the price would be more than she could bear.
The blood seeped into the wooden panel, and a teeth-grating scraping sound came from inside the Ghost Cabinet.
Creak.
The uppermost cabinet door slowly opened, and a yellowed photograph and a slip of paper fluttered down.
Ning Rongrong picked up the slip. The terms of the deal were written on it in blood.
