Jin Guan City, outside the haunted hotel.
Upon arriving at the hotel.
Zhang Wei looked up. Even without seeing the ghost yet, he was certain the hotel was haunted, and it seemed more serious than he had been told.
Through his Heavenly Eye.
He could vaguely see black mist emanating from several windows of the hotel. According to the hotel's layout, these were the rooms at the end of each floor. The density of the black mist gave the impression of dark clouds pressing down.
Zhang Wei did not hide what he saw and informed Zhang Mei and the others.
"Could this be a ghost den?"
Zhang Chao said.
Zhang Mei, however, frowned, her pretty face looking grim. Rolling up her sleeves, she was about to go inside:
"Dare to build a home under my nose? See if I don't tear down this ghost den."
Zhang Chao pointed to Zhang Mei in front of him:
"Zhang Wei, look at my relative here. She's my relative, but why isn't she as steady as I am?"
Zhang Wei smiled.
To prevent them from encountering any accidents, Zhang Wei took out yellow talismans from his pocket, handing a thick stack to each of them, and also enhanced them with some system points.
Since it was still early morning, at Zhang Wei's suggestion, they inspected the rooms at the end of each floor together. Although there was residual yin energy from ghosts, they found no ghosts.
"It seems we'll have to wait until night. With the sun beating down now, unless it's a Ghost King, ordinary ghosts don't like to wander around in the daytime."
Zhang Wei said.
Zhang Mei and the others agreed with Zhang Wei's assessment.
"Since we can't catch ghosts now, let's go. Zhang Wei, I'll take you around first. I have a lot of delicious food here. By the way, Zhang Wei, can you eat spicy food? Haha, the food here is very spicy. Don't eat too much and end up torturing your chrysanthemum in the restroom."
Zhang Chao chuckled:
"It's not just the food that's spicy; the girls here are also very attractive, and there are many spicy girls. Sister, I'm taking Zhang Wei out to look around."
Uncharacteristically, Zhang Mei didn't retort to Zhang Chao. Instead, she gave Zhang Chao money, telling him to play the host well.
In response.
Zhang Wei thanked them with a smile. After leaving the hotel, he nudged Zhang Chao with his elbow:
"Zhang Chao, although you said you wanted to introduce your sister to me last time, honestly, you've always been looking for girls, why not your sister? Look, she even knows to care about your spending and gave you more money to treat me."
Saying that, Zhang Wei recalled:
"I remember you saying that Sister Mei is your cousin, but she was actually adopted from a distant relative, right? Theoretically, you're not closely related by blood."
Zhang Chao was stunned for a moment, waved his hand, and rolled his eyes:
"Get real. She and I have a purely sibling relationship. Don't try to matchmake us. Besides, I'd rather stay single forever or die here than marry my sister. With my sister's temper, who could handle it?"
Seeing Zhang Chao make a vow like Wang Jingze, Zhang Wei burst into laughter:
"Don't say that. I'm still looking forward to you and your sister getting married. Think about it, Wu Nian, the young monk, is into online dating, and Li Junfei is into married women. As my brother, you can't fall behind with some inbred marriage."
In response.
Zhang Chao directly gave Zhang Wei the middle finger and said with a smile:
"Damn it, I didn't realize it until you mentioned it. Damn! It's no fun being friends with you if you're not a bit special. But me and my sister, forget it. I'd rather date a female ghost. That would be special, a real-life A Chinese Ghost Story."
Zhang Wei was about to say something when Zhang Chao seemed to remember something and patted his head:
"Oh my god, speaking of dating, I almost forgot."
"What's up?"
"A new maid cafe just opened. The maid service there is amazing. You can experience all sorts of romantic services with the maids. It's so cool. Come on, Zhang Wei, I'll take you to try it out."
Zhang Chao said, not forgetting to wipe his imaginary saliva:
"Zhang Wei, you don't know, there's a maid there who's so beautiful. I've been eyeing her for a long time, but I haven't dared to approach her. Speaking of which, aren't you acting as a wingman for Li Junfei? How's it going?"
"It's going well. Before I came today, I heard Li Junfei say that Sisi agreed to go to the movies with him on May 20th. I expect there will be a fierce battle that night, after all, a married woman, you know."
Zhang Chao nodded vigorously upon hearing this and made some gestures:
"Indeed, that married woman's 'dragon-seeking' skills, hey! Seeking dragons by observing the winding mountains, one turn is one pass, alas, I'm so envious."
In his words.
Zhang Chao couldn't help but become impatient:
"No, I want to bloom my love on May 20th too. Zhang Wei, be my wingman quickly! I want to be 'wound around a mountain' on May 20th."
Zhang Wei smiled at this:
"Then you're not looking for a maid, but a female ghost. After all, if it's not a female ghost, how can it fit your 'Ghost Blows Out the Light' dragon-seeking mantra?"
Zhang Wei chuckled at this:
"It's okay, I can play a ghost role with the maid. She can be the ghost, and I can be the lamp, and we can still 'ghost blow out the light'."
...
Time flew by.
Zhang Wei and the others played outside until evening before returning to the hotel.
At this time.
In the hotel corridor, at the end of the fourth floor of the haunted hotel.
After returning to the hotel with Zhang Chao, Zhang Chao chatted with him for a while before returning to his room. He wasn't really here to play; he had a ghost exorcism mission to complete.
"So comfortable."
Zhang Wei walked out of the bathroom, wearing a bathrobe.
Just as he was about to lie down on the bed and wait for the ghost to arrive.
Ding dong.
A WeChat message notification sound came.
He picked up his phone to look. It was a message from Zhang Chao.
[Zhang Chao]: Young man, you worked as a temporary worker today. Remember to write a report. By the way, don't include our trip to the maid cafe in it. My sister will go ballistic if she sees it.
Seeing this.
Zhang Wei replied with a smile.
[Zhang Wei]: Excuse me, whose head will your sister blow off? Is it your profoundly large head, or your extremely large head? Smiley face.jpg
[Zhang Chao]: Beast, prepare to die! Leo Flying Kick.jpg
After chatting for a while.
Zhang Wei looked at a notebook on the table. It was the diary report book that Zhang Mei had given him earlier. If Zhang Chao hadn't reminded him, he would have almost forgotten about it.
Then.
Zhang Wei got out of bed and sat down at the table:
"This is my first time writing this kind of diary report. How should I write it... Hmm?"
As if sensing something, Zhang Wei subtly glanced towards the window of the room.
At this moment.
It was 10:45 PM. The sky was sparsely dotted with stars tonight, with only a few scattered points of light. The moonlight seemed a little weak, and the moonlight was somewhat pale.
Under the pale moonlight, a strange shadow appeared by the window.
The shadow seemed alive.
As it entered from the window, a bizarre scene unfolded. The shadow slowly stood up, forming a pale 'person'. The person's neck was bent at an irregular angle, and their head was tilted strangely.
Whether it was the strange shadow or the degree of the head's tilt, it was not something a normal person should have. It was a ghost.
Through the yin energy that had remained in the hotel earlier.
Feeling the yin energy emanating from the crooked-headed ghost that appeared by the window.
Zhang Wei had already confirmed it.
This ghost was the one that had killed the hotel guests.
