This was not the first time Ji Mingxia had encountered this kind of illusion.
Last night, Zhao Zhuoyue and I encountered a similar situation.
It’s just that Zhao Zhuoyue could see it at that time, but Ji Mingxia couldn’t.
No wonder Zhao Zhuoyue was so frightened. If this scene really appeared before his eyes, his brain would freeze the moment he saw it. Who could withstand it
Like the technician just now, there was clearly no blood after he was dismembered, and his body was scattered on the ground like the limbs of a puppet. But at that moment, Ji Mingxia couldn't tell whether it was a real person or a fake one.
His first reaction was to get away quickly and escape to a place he thought was safe.
Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia quickly looked at Yu Ning: "Did it attack you? Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Yu Ning said.
Ji Mingxia looked Yu Ning up and down, and confirmed that he was intact. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "How did this thing appear in broad daylight? There was no sign at all."
The spa is different from the lakeside.
Last night, Ji Mingxia and Zhao Zhuoyue went to the lakeshore in order to get a clearer look at the cheongsam woman. It was far away from the crowd, it was night, and there was water all around, which was suitable for a horror scene.
But it's daytime now, and in such a busy place like a spa, you can actually see ghosts.
Thinking that Chen Zhen and the others were still in another box, and Zhao Zhuoyue had just been attacked last night and was a high-risk group, Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning hurried to another box to check the situation.
The package chosen by Zhao Zhuoyue and his friends was different from that of Ji Mingxia, as it included foot bathing, etc., so the service time was slightly longer.
When Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning went there, they were still enjoying the spa. While enjoying it, they chatted, watched TV and drank some herbal tea from time to time.
Compared to the quiet and deserted box that Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning were in, Zhao Zhuoyue's room was extremely lively. The sounds of TV, people, music, and even the sound of water for soaking feet were all mixed together. It was very noisy and the temperature was much higher than that of an ordinary private room.
Seeing Ji Mingxia coming in, Zhao Zhuoyue said with a wicked smile: "I ordered a full body spa package for you, why did you come out so soon?"
Under normal circumstances, Ji Mingxia would have pounced on her and strangled her, but he was no longer in the mood.
After confirming that everyone was safe, Ji Mingxia walked around the box a few times. After making sure that the technicians were also normal, he felt relieved, found a random excuse, and left with Yu Ning.
Walking in the corridor of the box, Ji Mingxia thought for a moment and said, "Should we persuade everyone to leave this hotel first?"
Among our group of people, only Yu Ning has the ability to protect himself. Ji Mingxia’s only golden finger is knowing the plot, but the plot has not been unfolded at all, so Ji Mingxia’s golden finger is half useless.
No matter what, both of them are key figures in the main storyline of this world. Yu Ning needs no mention. Although Ji Mingxia is a supporting role, he will encounter ghosts sooner or later, and he has already made mental preparations. He is different from ordinary people.
But in the original book, people like Zhao Zhuoyue have no names at all.
In other words, for us, this is a world without ghosts.
When Ji Mingxia first knew that Li You was in this hotel, he not only did not stop his roommates, but also brought Yu Ning along, taking this into consideration.
I thought that the harm would not affect ordinary people, and the mysterious objects would only harm related people.
Unexpectedly, things turned out to be much more complicated than I had imagined.
This second ring is completely different from the first ring, and what makes Ji Mingxia even more worried is that until now, they have not seen Li You.
They were like headless flies in the hotel, passively enduring the attacks and unable to find any breakthrough points.
Yu Ning looked around thoughtfully and said slowly, "Let's go find the hotel to get surveillance first."
"Surveillance?" Ji Mingxia was stunned. "There shouldn't be surveillance in this spa room, right?"
Because it involves physical relaxation, most people will take off their clothes when doing a spa. Considering the privacy of the customers, it is impossible to install surveillance cameras in the private rooms. If they can really be found, this store can be prepared to be sued and go bankrupt.
However, there are none in the box, but some can be found in the aisle.
Since Yu Ning took the initiative to propose it, Ji Mingxia naturally cooperated.
What surprised Ji Mingxia was that when Yu Ning wanted to watch the surveillance footage, he actually skipped the person in charge of the spa and went directly to the hotel.
However, the entire resort is mainly managed by the hotel, so going directly to the hotel can indeed save a lot of trouble.
When the front desk staff learned that they had encountered a mysterious incident in the spa, they immediately took Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning to the reception room, asked them to wait for a while, and then hurriedly contacted their superiors to deal with the matter.
Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning waited in the reception room for about fifteen minutes.
With a "click", the door of the reception room was opened, and the hotel manager, whom Ji Mingxia had just met last night, appeared in front of them for the first time.
This was a middle-aged woman with a gentle appearance. She was wearing the same work clothes as yesterday. When she saw Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning, she smiled slightly, and her smile was full of sincerity and apology.
"Hello, I am the person in charge of Quanzhuang Resort. I heard that you two encountered some unpleasant things in the resort. May I ask what you did wrong? Could you please tell me?"
The hotel manager said this and immediately poured two cups of hot tea for Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning.
She has a gentle temperament and a low voice, and when she speaks slowly, her voice is full of soothing power.
Ji Mingxia had a very good impression of the hotel manager yesterday, and when she met him again today, of course, at this moment Ji Mingxia knew that something was wrong with the hotel, but as soon as she opened her mouth, all the negative emotions in Ji Mingxia's heart instantly subsided a lot.
Ji Mingxia's eyes fell on the name tag on the hotel manager's chest, which read: Tong Jing.
Yu Ning briefly recounted what had just happened in the spa.
After he finished speaking, everyone present, except Ji Mingxia, had an expression of disbelief on their faces.
The hotel manager had a slightly better ability to control her facial expressions than others, but she still couldn't help but ask in a slightly weird tone, "Are you saying that you encountered a ghost in the spa's private room?"
"That's right." Yu Ning said, "This is not the first time we have been in danger in a hotel. I hope the hotel can help us investigate what is going on."
"Isn't this the first time you've been in danger?" The hotel manager asked in confusion, "Have you seen ghosts in the spa more than once? But our hotel was just established not long ago, and no one has ever died before, and those urban anomalies have never happened before..."
Yu Ning did not delve into the issue, but said, "That's why we skipped the spa and went straight to the hotel to handle this matter. If it's not a mysterious incident, I can only trouble you to help find suspicious people or even suspicious drugs."
Upon hearing this, the hotel manager immediately understood what Yu Ning meant.
If there are no ghosts, the most likely reason why customers experience hallucinations in the private room is that the interior of the store is not clean.
Things like hauntings are too mysterious for ordinary people.
But if there are suspicious people or suspicious drugs in the spa, it would be a life-threatening situation.
This kind of thing has happened on certain occasions. Now that the guests have reported it, the hotel manager naturally cannot sit idly by.
"We are a formal resort. All the scenic spots and shops in the scenic area are all legal and compliant. The hotel has been in operation for so long and has never had any related incidents. You can rest assured about the safety issues."
The hotel manager explained earnestly, "Of course, in order to reassure our customers, it is our duty to investigate everything thoroughly. Please wait a moment, we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
The hotel manager said this without delay and quickly ordered the workers to leave together to investigate the incident.
For the staff, this incident was actually much more difficult than last night. After all, people fell into the lake and the first thing to do was to rescue them.
After confirming that people's lives are safe, all you need to do is seal off the scene and then slowly repair it afterwards.
But if it involves something like suspicious drugs, it is suspected to be a crime. In order to investigate it clearly, the hotel must not alert the suspect at the beginning.
This time, Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning waited for more than an hour. During this period, Zhao Zhuoyue and others took a nap in the spa, while Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning waited in the reception room.
However, after nearly two hours of waiting, they still did not get the answer they wanted.
When the hotel manager returned to the reception room for the first time, he was obviously relieved and said to Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning, "Our staff has just gone to the spa to check the surveillance footage, conduct on-site inspections, and other methods to verify. We can confirm that there are absolutely no suspicious items in the spa, and there is absolutely no illegal operation. I can use the hotel's reputation and personal integrity to guarantee that everything in the resort is absolutely safe.
"If you two are worried, we support you to call the police and let them handle it."
Ji Mingxia didn't quite understand what Yu Ning was up to, but after hearing what the hotel manager said, he immediately said, "Could you please pull out the surveillance footage that involved us while we were in the spa and show it to us?"
"Of course." said the hotel manager, and ordered the staff to send the surveillance footage over.
While they were waiting, the hotel manager took two small gift boxes and handed them to Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning: "No matter what, it is our fault for scaring you two. This is a small gift from us. We hope you can have a pleasant vacation in the hotel."
Ji Mingxia didn't expect that there would be gifts to receive.
If it weren't for what happened yesterday, Ji Mingxia would definitely have a very favorable attitude towards this hotel.
But when he thought about the fact that after being comforted, the next thing he would face was total amnesia, Ji Mingxia not only did not feel moved at all, but instead felt a chill down his spine.
He didn't extend his hand to take the gift.
Yu Ning also said very coldly: "This unpleasant experience makes it difficult for us to have a peaceful vacation. If we leave now, can you refund the remaining fee to us?"
The hotel manager didn't expect Yu Ning to ask so directly. She was stunned for a moment, then said, "If you insist on doing this, of course you can."
Yu Ning asked: "Will you refund the original price when you booked it?"
The hotel manager smiled and said, "Yes."
The surveillance video was being sent. At Yu Ning's request, the hotel manager calculated on the spot how much money could be refunded if they left today and refunded the consumption of the past few days.
After the fees were calculated, the surveillance video happened to be sent over.
Since no one had an accident today and the hotel's internal investigation did not reveal any adverse circumstances, the hotel staff did not accompany them when checking the surveillance footage, leaving Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning to rest in the reception room and they could continue to contact them if there was anything.
The huge reception room returned to silence.
The second time Ji Mingxia watched the hotel's surveillance footage, his mood was completely different from yesterday. He hurried to check it carefully, because based on yesterday's experience, the footage might not be available by tomorrow.
The surveillance inside the spa is very similar to that on the lake. On the surface, there is nothing unusual.
Since there was no camera in the box, the surveillance footage was from the aisle.
The first to enter were Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning.
About ten minutes later, two technicians came in carrying plates.
When they opened the door, Ji Mingxia made a special effort to confirm that the two technicians had facial features.
As the technician entered, the corridor returned to silence, without a single person in sight. Ji Mingxia guessed that this was probably the time when Ji Mingxia was preparing to change the meal package.
According to Ji Mingxia's memory, the next moment would be for him and Yu Ning to lie down together and enjoy a head massage.
However, at this moment, the door of the box suddenly opened, and the technician who was supposed to serve Yu Ning left the box at this time.
After he left, the corridor became quiet again, and no one entered or left the box.
Looking at the tightly closed door of the box in the camera, even though the incident had clearly passed, Ji Mingxia still got goose bumps all over his body.
Because in his memory, Yu Ning's technician had never left.
The head massage lasted for forty minutes, and less than ten minutes into it, Yu Ning's technician had already transformed from a human into a ghost without anyone noticing...
At that time, Ji Mingxia on the side didn't notice anything unusual at all, and was even chatting with the technician.
Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia couldn't help but think of what the technician said to him before he left.
Ji Mingxia couldn't help but shiver all over, feeling extremely cold.
"What's wrong?" Yu Ning noticed Ji Mingxia's little movement and asked.
Ji Mingxia repeated what the technician said to Yu Ning.
"Now that I think about it, that guy's expression and movements were quite abnormal. It's very likely that he had already noticed something was wrong, but he didn't think it was his companion who had a problem. He thought it was you who did it..." Ji Mingxia muttered, "This guy's eyesight is really bad. Not only did he mistake us for a couple, but he also did something bad next to him. He thought you were jealous."
As Ji Mingxia was talking, he almost felt pity for Yu Ning when he thought about how Yu Ning was being harassed by the faceless ghost and was being misunderstood by others.
Therefore, no one noticed that after hearing what Yu Ning said, he turned his head silently and hid the unnatural expression on his face.
