35.The Hunt Continues

  Oda Saki let out a cold chuckle, "That's pretty creative... trying to scare us with this?"

  She then pulled out of the book, and tossed it on the ground, stepping on it with her foot!

  "Don't be impulsive," Ziye pulled her back, "This bookshelf is quite mysterious." Then she squatted down, picked up the book, and placed it back on the bookshelf in its original order.

  Ziye took a picture of the bookshelf.

  At the same time, she kept an eye on Yuan to see if he had any new reactions.

  Where is it… where is it…

  She knew that panicking was useless.

  She kept thinking about the known clues they had.

  Could the ghost's transformation be the black dress?

  During their inspection of the rooms, she paid particular attention to the closets, making sure there were no new black dresses, but there seemed to be only one black dress, and all the clothes in the other rooms were for women.

  After searching through all the rooms, the four of them returned to the living room.

  Ziye continued to approach the pile of shattered plaster sculptures, wanting to see if there were any changes.

  And just then…

  Her vision turned blood red again!

  Those evil eyes were looking at her again!

  Ziye felt a wave of intense nausea, as if her body could barely hold itself up.

  She wanted to turn around, but the gaze seemed to completely bind her body.

  Eyes…

  Then, she suddenly felt a pair of hands wrapping around her waist!

  This surprised Ziye greatly, she finally turned around and looked at her waist, but there was nothing there.

  The three behind her looked at her in bewilderment.

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

  Ziye's face turned pale, she started to breathe heavily, sweat rolling down her forehead.

  "Did… did you see it?"

  Her voice trembled now.

  Oda Saki was surprised.

  She had never seen Ziye panic like this.

  But she was an incredibly intelligent person, having gone through four blood word instructions, she understood many things.

  She immediately knew that Ziye must have seen or touched something, but they hadn't noticed at all.

  Ziye began to feel a bit naive.

  It's safe if the four of them stay together?

  She had underestimated the apartment.

  Ziye quickly regained her composure, took out her handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her forehead, forcibly calming herself down.

  She knew that “it” had started to take action against her.

  Although she didn't know where it was, she was certain that “it” was going to attack her!

  She had to find “it” as soon as possible!

  By the afternoon, the four of them gathered together and ate something as lunch.

  Even while eating, everyone was on edge, constantly watching their surroundings, afraid that something would suddenly turn into a ghost.

  Ziye's gaze remained fixed on the fragments of plaster sculptures on the ground and the clothes racks in every corner of the living room.

  As she was chewing on a piece of bread, a loud bang suddenly came from behind them.

  The four of them jumped up as if startled by an arrow, looked towards the room where the sound came from, and rushed in!

  The room was the study.

  And the problematic bookshelf was now lying on the ground for no apparent reason!

  Numerous books were scattered everywhere.

  This scene was even more eerie for the four of them.

  This bookshelf was so heavy, it couldn't have fallen just like that.

  Just like the plaster sculptures being completely shattered, this proved that… the "it" hiding in the shadows was playing with and tormenting each of them!

  Oda Saki bit her lower lip tightly, almost drawing blood.

  Ziye also began to realize that… every moment in this villa was no longer safe.

  After moving the bookshelf, Ziye crouched down and carefully looked at the scattered books.

  Just like with the sculptures… she could no longer match the order of the books with the photos.

  Was it the sculptures?

  Or the books?

  Where was the ghost hiding?

  Ziye picked up one book after another, her brain spinning rapidly.

  What should she do?

  It seemed like there was no way to find it, no matter what they did.

  It seemed like they could only be played with, tortured… and ultimately killed.

  Was there no way?

  Just then, someone's face appeared in her mind.

  Li.

  He had given her a notebook, hadn't he?

  She thought for a moment, took out the notebook, and flipped through it.

  Li had written extensive deductive reasoning for each of his experiences, his thinking was meticulous and clear, making it admirable.

  She decided to try seeking help from Li.

  Ziye asked Oda Saki, "Miss saki… do you know Li's phone number?"

  After all, the phones in the apartment couldn't be reached from outside.

  "Yes, I do."

  "Tell me," as she spoke, Ziye had already taken out her phone and started to press the numbers. Then, she dialed Li's number.

  At that moment, Li's phone rang, he immediately picked it up and answered.

  "Mr. Li…"

  "Ziye?" Li smiled.

  "Yes." She nodded, "I'll tell you about the clues in the haunted house, can you deduce where the ghost's transformation is? I don't have any ideas right now…"
