Faced with Yang Xiao’s thanks, Sato Shouta was apprehensive, "Mr. Yang, I should be the one thanking you. You’ve helped a lot, and I’m really happy to be able to help you this ti."
"But... Mr. Yang, now that you’ve figured out the Ghost’s killing pattern, we’re safe, and we can all go ho!" Sato Shouta visibly beca excited, knowing that his family hadn’t been able to find him, and his mom must be worried sick.
However, Yang Xiao poured cold water on him, "You’re too optimistic. We’ve only identified the Ghost’s killing pattern, but to truly break out, we need to solve the Ghost Dream and survive the female ghost’s slaughter."
Hearing this, Sato Shouta looked puzzled, "I don’t understand, Mr. Yang. We can avoid the female ghost’s pursuit. Every night, the first person to encounter the child Ghost can just escape, right? That way, no one is entangled by the Ghost Dream, and no one will die."
"And then?" Yang Xiao looked at him and asked.
"And then what? Without the Ghost Dream, we won’t die," Sato Shouta said, bewildered.
"I’m asking, what’s the point of buying ti? If we don’t solve the Source Ghost, we can’t open the exit to leave. When ti runs out, even if we aren’t killed by the Ghost, those bastards will get us." Yang Xiao took a deep breath and spoke more seriously, "Don’t forget, we only have a week."
Thinking of those guys, Sato Shouta shivered. He knew Yang Xiao was talking about those gang mbers. Those guys were inhumane, having initially tortured Sakurai Miyuki to death, and then brutally beat Hasegawa Hideji to death in front of them.
"In my opinion, those gang mbers are as threatening as the Ghost. If we don’t take care of the hotel’s paranormal event, we won’t be able to leave. When ti is up, we’ll all die here." Yang Xiao revealed the true cruelty of the Nightmare World to Sato Shouta. Besides desperately breaking out, they had no other way to survive.
Sato Shouta’s face turned pale, and his breathing beca uncontrollable and rapid, "So... you an we still have to enter that Ghost Dream, face those two Ghosts, and find a way to survive."
"Exactly, but this ti we’re not passive. We can use the rules and actively choose who enters the Ghost Dream. This is a great progress and an opportunity Tong Han fought for us."
"But such opportunities are limited. This is the fourth night in this world, aning we have at most three more nights, which are our last three chances. If we don’t grasp them, we’ll still face annihilation," Yang Xiao said candidly.
"Mr. Yang, are you going tonight? It’s too dangerous, I’m worried you’ll die in there." Sato Shouta feared Yang Xiao might do sothing foolish.
Moreover, Sato Shouta was currently very conflicted. If Yang Xiao chose to enter the Ghost Dream, he would be dragged in too, and thinking about the two Ghosts there made his legs tremble uncontrollably.
Seeing Sato Shouta’s bravely held composure, Yang Xiao reassured him, "I won’t go tonight, and neither will you, but you need to keep this secret for ."
"I understand. If everyone knows, no one will be willing to go. No one will clear the path for us, and the final result will be that we all die here." Sato Shouta nodded vigorously. After experiencing so much, he wasn’t naive enough to think everyone had a chance to survive. Besides Yang Xiao, the other teammates were not trustworthy. When Hasegawa Hideji bullied him, only Yang Xiao and Tong Han stood up for him.
Sato Shouta bowed deeply to Yang Xiao, thanking him again, "Mr. Yang, if I hadn’t t you, I definitely wouldn’t have made it out this ti. Thank you."
"Alright, don’t say anymore. It’s almost dawn. Go rest." Yang Xiao subconsciously avoided Sato Shouta’s gaze, urging him to go to the back resting room to rest, as tonight was safe.
If it were a normal Nightmare World, Yang Xiao was at least half confident he could lead Sato Shouta out, but now, everything was too late.
Yet, Sato Shouta’s final words gave Yang Xiao a bit of comfort. His death wasn’t related to him, nor was it sothing he could control because last ti, he hadn’t encountered him.
Hotel, 4th floor, service room.
The room was filled with smoke, Qingshui Cangjie sat on the sofa, while Heize Lin stood respectfully by, his eyebrows filled with joy.
"Mr. Qingshui, as expected of a senior, found the Ghost’s killing thod so quickly, I’m truly ashad!" Heize Lin complinted.
Qingshui Cangjie smiled slightly and waved his hand, "It’s no big deal. No one expected there would be two Ghosts, but we must thank Tong Han for this. Without her, we would have needed to send in at least one more team, which would have been truly dangerous."
"Yes, it was indeed very dangerous. Without figuring out the Ghost’s killing thod, even we could have unknowingly been targeted by the female ghost. Without understanding her background, anyone taken into a Ghost Dream would be in grave danger." Thinking of this, Heize Lin couldn’t help feeling chills, as this female ghost was a nightmare even for veteran players with strong ntal fortitude.
Heize Lin seed to think of sothing, and his voice couldn’t help but lower, "Mr. Qingshui, today we probably couldn’t gather enough clues, so tonight..."
"Having found the pattern, are we still worried about being in danger?" Qingshui Cangjie sat there with the deanor of a big shot, instructing, "Mr. Heize, this clue must be kept strictly confidential, don’t let anyone know, including Beiyu Ye."
