Shunzi eyed Lu Mi and muttered, "You guessed, didn't you? Pretty lucky."
Lu Mi smiled. "I told you I shoved a ball of fire into the snake woman's mouth. You were afraid of the other ghosts, and this injured one was relatively less dangerous, so you went to the dead player's room..."
"All right, all right! The elevator just happened to stop on that floor," Lü He said, shoving the box into Huihui's hands. "Next!"
Huihui glanced at the box and sneered. "Two people, and you only caught one ghost? Still won't admit you're cowards? Did you play rock-paper-scissors to decide who would catch it?"
"If you're so capable, try catching two!" Lü He shouted.
"Fine, I will! Just you watch!" Huihui called her friend Xiao Ru over and strode into the elevator.
As agreed, Lu Mi would go after Huihui.
But they waited a long time, and the elevator still hadn't come down.
Lü He sounded half uncertain, half gleeful. "Open the box and knock three times-it's so simple. Surely nobody could die doing that?"
Lu Mi checked his Wristband. An hour had already passed.
They called it catching ghosts, but the process really was simple. Encountering a ghost in this building was easy, too. For them to have been gone this long...
He stood up. "I'll go take a look."
The elevator began moving, and Lu Mi let out a breath. "Roman."
"Hm?"
"Tone it down a little. Don't let him realize you're not a player. All he has to do is count, and he'll notice there were twenty-one players at the start. Odd numbers are rare. He'll get suspicious."
Roman gave a soft snort. "I could kill him in a second."
Before he had even finished speaking, he received a light smack on the head.
