"That's what happened..."
Lin Ruonan struggled to finish recounting what she had just experienced.
Qin Manjiang and Xia Nan exchanged looks.
It was hard for them to judge whether what Lin Ruonan had described was a hallucination.
From start to finish, both of them had heard the wind and snow outside. There had never been a moment when the blizzard stopped and moonlight appeared to illuminate the summit.
But they also knew Lin Ruonan wasn't lying. She couldn't possibly lie about something like this.
The problem was, even if she and Hu Feifei really had seen that bizarre, terrifying sight-even if they had seen it with their own eyes-was the reality they saw necessarily real?
"Calm down. It's not that we don't believe you. Now... let's go through everything."
Qin Manjiang handed Lin Ruonan a bowl of hot water and spoke quietly.
"From the information in those memories, it's possible there really are two ghosts we're dealing with: one male and one female, both burned to death."
"Including what just happened to you, we've indeed encountered two ghosts: the apparently female 'Spider Woman,' and an enormous, terrifying Horror Vengeful Ghost standing beside the summit."
"But neither ghost looks like that couple who burned to death. What role does that couple actually play in this Ghost Story? What role does Spider Woman play? Why did the Seven Children come to the Snow Mountain?"
"Miss Lin," Qin Manjiang looked at her earnestly and asked, "I remember that during the first [Plot Enactment], the characters you and I played had a conversation."
"Xiao San and Xiao Qi. Xiao San said, [From the moment we entered this mountain, there was no turning back, just like back then...] Do you know what that means?"
Some information was known only to the person playing the role,
