Chapter 427: How to see through ghosts


    On their side, Wan Yunrong and Miao Yu followed Wu Xiaonan, while Xu Huo and Chu Yuan were responsible for checking the corridor, because there were too many rooms in the laboratory, and Zhu Rumin could hide in any room.


    ?Chu Yuan used prop chewing gum to stick the lighting lamp on the top of the corridor, "so that if someone passes by, his or her own shadow may be exposed."


    Xu Huo did not comment and just cooperated with him.


    “How do you think Gan Qing could tell that Zhu Rumin was a ghost?” Chu Yuan said, “The five of us can’t tell even if we are together.”


    "Maybe it''s because of the glass window." Xu Huo said. Last night he and Chu Yuan saw the ghostly shadow through the window. Gan Qing and Chang Chengyong happened to be standing behind the door when they came out, separated by a window.


    "What''s the principle?" Chu Yuan couldn''t believe it. "You have to look through a glass window to see ghosts? You can''t even see them with glasses?"


    ?Xu Huo glanced at him. In fact, the players were invisible when they were together.


    “Then do you think the ghost I saw yesterday was Chang Chengyong?” Chu Yuan couldn’t help but said, “No, I have to ask Gan Qing what the ghost he saw looked like.”


    Before they could find Gan Qing, Gan Qing found them first, "Have you caught Zhu Rumin?"


    “If we were caught, we wouldn’t be here anymore.” Chu Yuan said, “Where are you?”


    "Chang Chengyong ran too fast. I followed him around twice, and finally saw an elevator going to the third underground floor. I was afraid there was a trap and I didn''t go down. When I turned back, Qiu Xiangdong was gone." Gan Qing asked again. After hearing the rest of the people, he couldn''t help but shake his head when he learned that they were looking for people separately. "It''s too difficult to find someone here. It''s also at night. At a glance, everything looks the same."


    “What does the ghost you see look like?” Xu Huo asked.


    "A shadow without a face." Gan Qing said: "It''s right in front of Zhu Rumin... It''s really strange. I can see Zhu Rumin but not Chang Chengyong. He suddenly got up when Wan Yunrong said that everyone should take turns to submit tasks. Powerful.”


    This is interesting. Judging from Chang Chengyong''s performance, he knew that he was a "ghost" early on, so he ran away with a guilty conscience. Zhu Rumin, who was also a "ghost", was caught off guard by Wu Xiaonan, even though he was not recognized by Gan Qing. When she came out and returned to the room, she still had to try to complete the task as mentioned before, and she couldn''t run away.


    ?There may be two reasons for not taking the opportunity to escape but to follow back. First, she does not know that she is a "ghost", and second, she is confident that she cannot detect the identity of the "ghost" by trying methods, and she cannot pass the level.


    ??If it is the second situation, then she can be sure that catching the "ghost" in the game will not pass the level. Although Xu Huo has speculation, it has not been confirmed yet.


    In the first case, there are two possibilities. One is that the player is randomly selected as a "ghost" and does not know that she is a "ghost", and the other is that she was artificially selected.


    ?His eyes stayed on Gan Qing''s face for a few seconds. He opened the door next to him and looked at the two people outside through the glass. He didn''t see the so-called ghost.


    There are still too few "ghosts". If there are a few more ghosts today, it will be easy to detect whether the "ghosts" can be seen through glass.


    Ge Pan and others went back and forth, but could not find Zhu Rumin.


    "I have bad news." Gan Qing said, "Qiu Xiangdong is missing."


    There is not much deep friendship between the players, but people disappearing under the nose makes people feel anxious.


    “How did you find out Zhu Rumin’s identity?” Ge Pan also asked the same question.


    ??Gan Qing said it again and said, "I don''t understand the reason either."


    Ge Pan thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it''s glass."


    “In some film and television dramas, ghosts that cannot be seen directly with the naked eye can be seen with a camera. Maybe this game is based on this principle.”


    It sounds quite absurd, but it is the most reliable statement at present.


    “Chang Chengyong and Zhu Rumin ran away, so the rest of us will have to wait until tomorrow to use glass to find the two new ghosts.” Wan Yunrong said.


    “I hope no one will run away directly this time.” Wu Xiaonan said.


    “I was unprepared just now.” Ge Pan coughed and said, “It won’t happen tomorrow.”


    ?They didn’t go back to the room they were in. Instead, they chose a nearby room and kept their eyes open until the lights came on.


    “The time to turn on the lights has also been postponed.” Xu Huo looked at his watch and said. "The lights here should be intelligently controlled. Logically speaking, there will be no delays. It may be that the laboratory had a special schedule last night," Gan Qing said.


    ?The others said nothing and walked out of the room to look for the missing three people.


    ?Two people stood at one end of the adjacent horizontal corridor and observed the public area, while the others entered the rooms in the same row to inspect.


    After a thorough search, Zhu Rumin was not driven out or Qiu Xiangdong’s body was found. Instead, the dead Chang Chengyong was found in the bathroom.


    Chang Chengyong also died of suffocation.


    The players had different expressions when they saw his body.


    ?Chang Chengyong should be the one who won the ghost lottery on the first day.


    "He can run, which means He Chunsheng was not killed by himself. Otherwise, he should resume his human identity and don''t have to run today." Miao Yu said, "So it was other players who killed He Chunsheng. Unexpectedly, Chang Chengyong also died of suffocation."


    ?Chu Yuan looked around at everyone, "The one who killed Chang Chengyong was Zhu Rumin?"


    “Not necessarily, isn’t there someone else?” Ge Pan said.


    "You mean Qiu Xiangdong?" Wan Yunrong was puzzled, "If it was him, why did he hide it after he killed Chang Chengyong?"


    ? Killing "ghosts" should be considered a legitimate behavior in the game.


    "It''s not necessarily him," Mao Wei said: "Last night someone said that Chang Chengyong went to the third underground floor."


    ??Everyone turned their attention to Gan Qing, who said angrily: "I just said that I saw the elevator going to the third underground floor. I''m not sure if Chang Chengyong is going down. And even if he goes down, can''t he come up?"


    "Besides, if I killed Chang Chengyong, why should I hide it? He is a ghost!"


    “Maybe you are the ghost.” Wu Xiaonan said: “If you kill Chang Chengyong, won’t you be able to turn back into a human?”


    ?Gan Qing clenched his fists, but relaxed them the next second and put his hands behind his back.


    "It wasn''t him." Wan Yunrong said at this time: "He didn''t go out for long last night, and it doesn''t match the time of Chang Chengyong''s death."


    “Can you see it with the naked eye?” Wu Xiaonan raised his eyebrows.


    Normally, more detailed examination is required to know the specific time of death of the body.


    “This is my characteristic.” Wan Yunrong said.


    The two faced each other speechlessly. After a moment, Ge Pan said: "It''s still Qiu Xiangdong and Zhu Rumin. If one of them is a "human" and the other is a "ghost", there is no problem in killing Chang Chengyong, who won the ghost lottery, but they have to hide." Can’t get out.”


    “After all, if you kill someone, others will be more wary of them when they come back. If you randomly turn into a ghost again, you may become the target of public criticism.”


    ?This is just a reason, it is also possible that both of them were injured, and then coming back will only become the primary target of the player who becomes a "ghost" next.


    ?Continuing along with the progress just now, after searching the first floor and the second floor, the two missing people were not found.


    "It seems they have gone to the third underground floor. Do you want to go down?" Xu Huo reminded everyone at the right time.


    "Get off!" Chu Yuan said angrily: "If you don''t want to come up, just don''t come up. I''ll seal the elevator door and see how they kill people!"


    “It would be fun if Qiu Xiangdong randomly turned into a ghost today.” Wu Xiaonan said with a smile.
