Because no one has been in the Shunshun Tunnel for so long, weeds have grown at the entrance, and the inside is dark and bottomless, giving it an eerie feel.
Su Cheng was certain there was a ghost in the tunnel.
Moreover, according to the news, all those who passed through the tunnel died, so it couldn't have been a minor ghost; it was very likely Vengeful Ghost or something more.
"That's really bold," Su Cheng whispered.
She clicked on Lu Heng's private messages, picked out some things from their past when they first met, mentioned things like the apartment, and finally added her phone number.
She is currently a complete stranger to Lu Heng and has no way to directly contact him, so there's only so much she can do.
I just hope Lu Heng sees this message and it will stimulate his memory recovery.
Given his alertness, upon seeing this "strange" message, he might take the initiative to contact her.

The brightly lit villa was bustling with activity, and men and women chatted and laughed around the dining table.
The man in the suit who was leading the group was completely drunk. "Wishing us a happy night!"
live streaming
A massive explosion, creating new glories!
He slurred a few words and patted the man and woman beside him, "Keep it up, both of you! The studio's next big success depends on you two!"
Yun Xi dodged the falling hand by turning her shoulder, slightly raising her chin, ignoring the man in the suit.
Lu Heng smiled faintly, but when he reached for his pocket, he found it empty. He then remembered that he had given his phone to his assistant before the team building event.
After his first video went viral, he signed a contract with a studio through his family's introduction.
Before each of his broadcasts, the boss would organize a team-building event at the villa, during which everyone was not allowed to bring their phones.
Lu Heng felt inexplicably irritated when he thought about the live broadcast that night.
The location wasn't his choice, but he couldn't find a reason to refuse.
If we reject the Shunshun Tunnel this time, there will be another Lili Tunnel next time.
It seems he made a mistake when he signed with the studio. If he had realized something was wrong with the world sooner, perhaps things would have been different...
Lu Heng turned his gaze to his colleagues laughing around the dinner table. The lively scene seemed fake and unfamiliar to him.
He found an excuse to get up and headed to the room where his phone was kept.
I opened the door and saw my new assistant looking at something on his work phone. "What's wrong?"
The assistant raised an eyebrow. "Why did you suddenly come? Eat more."
"Didn't Xiao Mo tell you that even work phones can't be operated by assistants without permission?" Lu Heng took the phone from the other person's hand.
The phone screen remained on the private message page of the Star Moon account.
"Yeah, I said it, but I forgot." Shen Ying shrugged. "It's nothing, I'm going out."
The door opened and then closed.
Lu Heng frowned. To be honest, he didn't like this temporary new assistant. There was always a hint of disdain and malice in the other person's eyes.
But he was certain that he did not know her.
Lu Heng glanced through his private messages; they were mostly blessings from fans, nothing special.
Why would Shen Ying look at this, especially since he clearly saw her do it?
What did she delete?
Lu Heng pursed his lips, his hand unconsciously slipping into his pocket and gripping the white jade clasp inside. A familiar sense of melancholy washed over him once more.
He already knew he didn't belong to this world, but he couldn't remember where he was supposed to be...

After leaving the gym, Su Cheng searched the restaurant's kitchen thoroughly but couldn't find where the ghostly aura was hiding.
Is it hidden too well, or is something covering up the ghostly aura?
Su Cheng pondered for a moment, then stood against the wall of the hall and looked out the window.
A wisp of sunset glowed on the horizon, and the temperature dropped considerably after the sun went down, especially indoors where a chilly wind seemed to blow.
Even if no trace can be found in the hotel now, those who are meant to come out will naturally come out once it gets dark.
" Yan Yu, why do you look so pale?"
"Yeah, I didn't sleep well after my night shift. Let's start the new shift."
Hearing the sound, Su Cheng turned around and looked at the front desk. Yan Yu was wearing glasses and a work uniform, sitting in front of the computer.
Her face was pale, her lips were unusually bright red, her eyes seemed narrower than before, with a slight upturn at the corners, and a small mole had appeared at the corner of her lip.
Back to back was another "person's" back, that "person" had disheveled hair covering their face and wore a white dress.
She sits, it sits; she stands, it stands; it's impossible to tell whose shadow it is.
A note from the author:

Chapter 131
Xu Shaowei walked towards Yan Yu, but Su Cheng stopped her, saying, "Don't rush to deal with the spirit behind Yan Yu. Tonight won't be peaceful."
Yan Yu's survival in the hotel until now is primarily due to the fact that she may have carried life-saving tools that delayed the invasion of the spirit behind her.
Secondly, she had already been chosen by a spirit, which prevented the ghosts in the hotel from succeeding.
Xu Shaowei's expression was solemn. "Okay."
All she saw Yan Yu radiating bad luck, her face increasingly unlike her own.
The two walked to the front desk and greeted Yan Yu.
Yan Yu had already finished her shift and knew they were testers, so she was exceptionally polite. The small mole on the corner of her lip was eye-catching when she smiled, giving the two women a strong sense of unfamiliarity.
After a few words of small talk, Su Cheng said, "You look unwell. I know a little about traditional Chinese medicine; let me take your pulse."
"The guest also knows traditional Chinese medicine? That's amazing." Yan Yu extended her wrist. She felt a strange sense of familiarity when she saw Su Cheng and Xu Shaowei, and despite it being their first meeting, she felt quite fond of them.
She didn't expect Su Cheng to actually figure out anything, but when the other's cool fingertips touched her wrist, she felt a shiver run through her body.
The chill of the frost on my back seemed to be blocked by something, and the fatigue originating from within my body also dissipated by more than half.
"Are you feeling better?" Su Cheng withdrew her hand.
A few wisps of White Qi can temporarily slow down the fusion of the ghost behind Yan Yu; it's not too late to completely resolve the issue after tonight.
"Much better! How did you do that?"
"I just pressed a few acupoints," Su Cheng made up an excuse, revealing a matching black bracelet on her wrist. "Look, the same style. I don't even remember where I bought this bracelet, do you?"
Xu Shaowei also showed her wrist, "Yes, I have one too, but I can't remember how I got it."
Yan Yu was taken aback. "I can't remember either. I haven't paid attention to this bracelet in a long time."
Things she used to value highly, like bracelets and the red beads around her neck... she suddenly stopped caring about in the last couple of days.
This reminder caused Yan Yu's expression to harden slightly, and many unusual things resurfaced in her mind.
Su Cheng: "Think it over carefully, you really need to think it through."
Xu Shaowei: "You stay at the front desk tonight and don't leave."
"My job is to stay at the front desk; you guys should be... careful at night," Yan Yu said, her brows furrowing even more. If she sensed something was wrong with the hotel, why was she staying?
She is clearly not an indecisive or hesitant person.
My gaze fell on her fingertips; her nails were a fresh, vibrant red, a style she would never wear before...
Su Cheng and Xu Shaowei both breathed a sigh of relief. They could tell that Yan Yu had taken their advice to heart; it made things easier if she listened!
The two returned to their hotel room.
Since I'm a test sleeper, I naturally have to sleep in the room for one night to experience it.
Before they parted ways in the corridor, Su Cheng left a trace of Qi on Xu Shaowei, saying, "Come to me if anything happens. Be careful."
"Don't worry, don't worry, I also have life-saving items. The reason I was in such a sorry state before was because I hadn't regained my memories." Xu Shaowei patted her pocket, indicating that she was capable of protecting herself.
Su Cheng swiped her room card to enter the room, opened the door, inserted the room card into the card slot, and the lights suddenly turned on.
Su Cheng sat on the edge of the bed, her nostrils twitching slightly as she caught a strange, familiar stench.
It had gotten dark outside without us even realizing it.
Su Cheng was the only one in the room; it was so quiet you could hear her breathing. She picked up the remote and turned on the television that was facing the bed.
Instead of the afternoon hotel commercials, the television screen was filled with static.
The screen froze for a couple of seconds, then the image appeared.
It was like playing a videotape: a gloomy Western-style house, the wind rustling through the leaves, and a dry well in the center of the old courtyard.
The scene was so eerily captivating that it was impossible to look away.
Su Cheng put down the remote control and stared intently at the well, feeling a sense of familiarity.
The next second, just as she expected, a pair of deathly white hands suddenly emerged from the dry well.
Next came the disheveled heads.
It clung to the well opening, staring at Su Cheng; though its hair covered its face, it couldn't hide its malice.
"Sizzle--"
The screen went black and then lit up again; the woman had climbed out of the well and was lying on all fours in a twisted position.
The screen went black and then lit up again, and the woman pressed herself against it.
It felt like there was only a pane of glass separating me from the person behind the TV, and I was about to climb out of the TV screen at any moment.
Su Cheng's expression was subtle. Why was there a ghost representing the Cherry Blossom Kingdom in the White Moon City dungeon?
"Bang!" The ceiling light bulb exploded, plunging the surroundings into darkness.
Something emerged from the television, its icy aura pressing against Su Cheng's front.
"Playing hard to get." Su Cheng sneered, grabbing the female ghost's hand as if she were holding an ice pop.
Clusters of blue sparks lit up beneath the feet of the human and the ghost.
The female ghost suddenly looked up, her hair obscuring her face but unable to hide her shock and panic. Not only were her usual terrifying tricks ineffective, but she had also encountered someone who dared to confront her head-on.
It tried to escape but its arm was firmly restrained.
Su Cheng asked with a question in her heart, "Are you also named Sadako?"
The female ghost stared at Su Cheng with her crimson eyes, her body surging with deathly aura. For a ghost to be controlled by a human like this was an utter disgrace!
It rushed outwards without regard for anything else.
Su Cheng threw away her severed hand, allowing Mu Ling, who was waiting for the female ghost's answer inside the bracelet, to pass through the wall and follow her.

Xu Shaowei walked around the room with a compass in her hand, making two quick "rustling" sounds as the needle pointed towards the curtains.
