Jiang Che squinted his eyes.

It seemed Wang Defa was not as simple as he appeared.

Perhaps everyone who volunteered for this challenge wasn't simple either.

Ye Qingyao was a given, and it was very likely that Hu Junjie and Yang Ziyang were also pretending.

Indeed, you can never truly know a person's heart.

There aren't many straightforward and honest guys like me left.

Jiang Che took out the medical kit he had obtained earlier.

He swallowed a hemostatic pill and then wrapped his hands with bandages.

I have to say, the items from the Mystic World are effective; the pain in his battered hands had completely subsided.

He even felt like he could charge ahead.

Just as Jiang Che was about to leave, Zhu Xiaoling suddenly asked, "Are you hungry?"

Jiang Che: "Hmm?"

Zhu Xiaoling: "Have a Snickers bar!"

Jiang Che: "???"

Zhu Xiaoling opened a drawer and reluctantly handed Jiang Che two Snickers bars.

To be honest, after two days without food, he was indeed starving.

He almost forgot Zhu Xiaoling had a stash of snacks.

Jiang Che ate one bar himself and then asked Xiaoman, "Do you want one?"

Xiaoman: "..."

Jiang Che: "How do you go to the restroom if you don't eat?"

Xiaoman: "Shut up!"

Jiang Che: "Could it be that it's that time of the month? Do you need a pad?"

Xiaoman: "I'm about to forcibly terminate this contract. I'm exhausted, let's just end it all."

Jiang Che: "Emmmm... just kidding, why so serious?"

During their conversation, Jiang Che had already arrived in front of the abandoned dormitory building.

From the outside, it looked no different than before.

There was no sound coming from inside either.

But before coming over, Jiang Che specifically checked the dormitory of Ye Qingyao and the other three.

None of them were in their rooms.

Where could they have gone?

Jiang Che looked at the abandoned building in front of him, his expression gradually turning serious.

Each one of them said they didn't want to, but their actions were honest.

They all wanted to complete the challenge.

...

Upon entering the building, it was the familiar scene and smell of dust.

With a clear goal in mind, Jiang Che didn't linger on the other floors.

He jogged straight to the sixth floor.

Just as Jiang Che was heading towards the restroom on the sixth floor, a sharp pain suddenly shot through his head!

It felt like someone had jabbed him with a needle!

"What just happened?!"

Jiang Che looked around warily but didn't notice anything unusual.

Even the "hundred ghosts unleashed" scene from the first night showed no signs.

At this moment, Xiaoman exclaimed, "Eh? Your mental strength has increased?"

Jiang Che: "Don't mind the details, what just happened?"

Xiaoman explained, "Mental invasion. The things you saw the first time were actually the Uncanny using mental power to pull you into another space."

"An illusion?"

"No, not that."

Xiaoman: "It's a problem with this building. Only when your mental will is affected will you enter the other side of this building. If you don't run at that time, those unleashed Uncanny will tear you to pieces."

Jiang Che swallowed and said, "Then why didn't you help me block it back then..."

Xiaoman: "With your current strength, I can only use my power through your body, which is what you call ghostly spirit possession. But protecting your mental will from being affected is still very difficult."

"Difficult doesn't mean impossible, right? Are you doing this on purpose!"

"Don't talk nonsense... I was distracted at the time."

Jiang Che: "You can get distracted at a time like that? Weren't we supposed to be each other's angels?"

Xiaoman: "Yes, I am the angel."

Jiang Che: "Then I'll be... huh?"

Goodness, are you from a comedy club?

You really are my good ghostly spirit.

Soon, the stabbing pain disappeared.

Since he wouldn't be affected, his courage naturally grew.

Jiang Che held a doll in one hand and a pair of scissors in the other.

He swaggered into the restroom.

Legend has it that the women's restroom is a place where yin energy gathers.

Sure enough.

As soon as he entered, Jiang Che felt a bone-chilling cold!

The restroom was very dilapidated.

The sink was covered in dust, and the mirror was shattered and mottled.

And at that moment, Jiang Che suddenly heard breathing.

Although the other party was trying hard to suppress it, in this quiet environment, it was still caught by the astute Jiang Che.

Breathing, a person?

Ye Qingyao, Hu Junjie, Yang Ziyang, or Wang Defa?

Jiang Che's gaze fell on a wooden door.

He then attempted to open it.

"Click."

The door was locked from the inside.

So, Jiang Che simply kicked it open.

"Bang!"

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

"Ahhhhh!"

A hysterical scream erupted.

Wang Defa, covered in blood, was huddled in a corner.

His body was riddled with ghastly wounds, as if he'd been slashed a thousand times, but none were fatal.

Wang Defa curled up, trembling all over.

Even though he saw it was Jiang Che, he kept repeating the same phrase.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, don't kill me..."

Xiaoman: "He's been scared out of his mind, his spirit is nearly broken."

Jiang Che frowned slightly and tried asking, "Don't be afraid, what did you see? I can help you..."

"Don't, don't kill me."

"Don't kill me, don't kill me..."

Alright, he's completely lost it.

Jiang Che hesitated for a moment, but eventually fed Wang Defa a quick-acting heart pill.

Then he injected a sedative into his backside.

The quick-acting heart pill and sedative were items from the medical kit.

But for the macho Jiang Che, they were of no use...

Now was the perfect time to see if they could calm Wang Defa down and get some clues.

After a while, Wang Defa really did calm down.

His bloodshot eyes went from terrified to vacant, confused, and finally... filled with tears.

"Wow, Che Dad, you're finally here."

"Save me, Che Dad, save me."

"Weren't you going to quit? After midnight, you could have, why come here to die?" Jiang Che asked.

Wang Defa hung his head and said, "Fortune favors the bold... I figured I could hold out until after midnight, and if there was no gain, I'd just quit..."

Jiang Che smirked and said, "You really are brave."

Of course, Jiang Che didn't fully believe Wang Defa's words.

But considering Li Jiahao and the others' madness, it wasn't entirely impossible.

Then, Jiang Che asked, "Since you're here, did you find anything?"

"Find..."

"The last one, the last, the last one..." Wang Defa stammered.

The last one?

There were five stalls in the restroom, one stall per room.

Zhu Xiaoling also told him to check the restroom, and now Wang Defa too...

What's in the last one?

Jiang Che glanced over, and it seemed no different.

We are bit.ly/3iBfjkV, find us on google.

At this moment, Wang Defa suddenly froze.

Then his pupils contracted, and he started trembling again!

"Be-be-behind!"

"Behind!"
