Xiaowu is very calm now.
She carefully unraveled and analyzed the anomalies, so calmly that she seemed a little cold.
The most important thing now is not Xu Ying's safety.
But... are the hotel rules they confirmed still correct
Regardless of the consensus of the players or from Xu Ying's own confession, at least one thing can be confirmed—Xu Ying was indeed attacked by a ghost tonight.
Even this ghost directly invaded the room.
If Xu Ying had not taken any suicidal actions, or had not been deceived by the ghost and opened the door, the ghost would not have been able to enter the room protected by the hotel restrictions so quickly and attack Xu Ying directly.
So the problem they are facing now is:
Will the ghosts' abilities become stronger? Will the things that they couldn't do when the first guest checked in be accomplished smoothly later because of their own strength
Are there any other restrictions or protections in the hotel? Is the fact that Xu Ying is temporarily safe and sound tonight related to the new rules
And...what exactly happened to Xu Ying.
Xiao Wu briefly sorted out these questions and then raised them. For the first two, players still need time to verify, but for the latter, they can make their own guesses now -
"Possessed."
Number Three suddenly spoke.
His fingers accidentally tapped on the wall. His slender fingers looked pale and cold. His expression was also very cold. He just uttered these two words and continued to remain silent.
Fortunately, he has companions with whom he is used to working together.
The uncle seemed to know his thoughts very well, and added, "I also think it was possession. The ghost was probably unable to kill Xu Ying directly for some reason, so it possessed her and ordered us to leave."
Xiao Wu shrugged and said, "I second the motion."
Even though they had only known Xu Ying for one day, they knew how abnormal something was with Xu Ying today.
After experiencing strange events, seeing terrifying ghosts, or even being nearly killed by ghosts - even players would probably still be frightened and would prefer to stay in a team to ensure their own safety, rather than act alone.
What’s more, it’s Xu Ying.
She is just an ordinary person.
After being haunted by evil spirits, she could only seek the protection of the hotel and the help of the players. In this situation, it was impossible for her to calmly ask the players to go back or even say something as risky as "I think nothing will happen tonight" when she was almost in danger just now.
It is normal to ask players to stay with her for a while longer. It is the human instinct to subconsciously seek a safe corner.
Xiaowu added, "When Xu Ying asked us to leave—I noticed something was wrong in the corridor."
Her chin was still resting on the back of her soft, white hand, and she blinked. "This means that her words are still restrictive. She is a recognized guest of the hotel. Without her order, we cannot leave the staff dormitory in the middle of the night."
This is very troublesome.
They knew something was wrong with Xu Ying and speculated that she might be possessed by a ghost, but they had no immediate solution and could not even approach her under the hotel rules.
