5:55 p.m.
The sky had not gone completely dark. At this hour between light and darkness, even the sunset clouds on the horizon looked dim.
Qiao Ziruo's heart pounded. Qin Manjiang checked the time.
"We can go in now."
The workday at Baihong Building ended at five thirty. People were still coming and going through the entrance, and some needed to keep working overtime tonight. For now, it did not seem particularly difficult.
However, Qiao Ziruo's time limit for the Game was one night.
Surviving that night alone would not count as clearing it. What she needed to do was make the entire Ghost Story disappear completely.
So not only did she have to avoid the Vengeful Ghost that might appear at any moment, she also had to find clues and eliminate it within the limited time.
