Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: Encounters

Wang Sheng's sudden shrill howl not only startled Jiang Chaojie, even Xu Zhi'an, who was hiding on the other side of the wall, broke out in a cold sweat.

  Jiang Chaojie's guts were much bigger than Wang Sheng's, and after an initial moment of disbelief, he immediately looked up at the ceiling.

  Only to see that the white wall above his head had already been mostly soaked, but there was nothing wrong with how these wet traces looked.

  Jiang Chaojie looked down and glared fiercely at Wang Sheng, 'Don't fucking scream!'

  Wang Sheng also rubbed his eyes and once again bravely glanced at the ceiling, however, this time that puddle of water stains was nothing different at all, where does it still look like any woman's face?

  'But ... but just now I clearly saw ...'

  'Shut up! 'Wang Sheng's words were interrupted by Jiang Chaojie before he finished, he grabbed Wang Sheng's collar, his expression was extraordinarily hideous: 'If you keep on nagging I'll let you and her go to stay in the water tank together.'

  Water tank?

  Xu Zhi'an, who was hiding on the sidelines, learnt a very important piece of information, and at the same time, the argument between the two of them, Jiang Chaojie and Wang Sheng, had also ended.

  Xu Zhi'an glanced left and right, and with a slight movement in his heart, he quietly left.

  Water tanks ...

  Generally speaking, the water tanks of inns and hotels are placed on the roofs of buildings.

  Should I go check it out or not ...

  Or ... write down this message and wait until after the six o clock rendezvous to tell everyone?

  After thinking for a moment, Xu Zhi An still made up his mind.

  He was going to go and take a look first.

  After all, although it was a bit risky, there was also a great possibility of figuring out the identity of the deceased, not to mention the fact that from the first moment he stepped into this world, it was already fraught with danger.

  Instead of sitting on the sidelines apprehensively, it would be better to take the initiative and perhaps find a solution to get rid of the ghost as soon as possible.

  Moreover, it was only the first day, and the terror of the ghosts wasn't that obvious yet ...

  Thinking of this, Xu Zhi An walked quickly towards the lift, and just in time, the lift was coming down from the sixth floor.

  Xu Zhi'an stood in front of the lift with a slight frown.

  At this time, the lift arrived.

  'Ding ...'

  The doors opened, and Xu Zhi An was just about to enter when she saw that there was already someone standing in the lift.

  'Mr Bai?'

  Xu Zhi An was a little surprised, after all, he had seen before that Bai Yanliang seemed to be planning to leave the inn to check something outside.

  'Hello, Mr Xu.' Bai Yanliang smiled slightly as always.

  'As I recall, weren't you and Miss Li planning to go outside?'

  'I thought of something again and came back to take a look.' Bai Yanliang explained.

  Xu Zhinan was delighted, 'That's great! I just happened to have discovered something as well, so let's join together?'

  As she spoke, Xu Zhi An subconsciously pulled on Bai Yanliang's wrist.

  Hiss-

  So icy!

  Xu Zhi An, who had just touched Bai Yanliang's wrist, was stunned, and when doubts were just about to well up, he heard Bai Yanliang speak back:

  'Yes? Well then, let's go together.'

  Bai Yanliang's agreement interrupted Xu Zhi'an's doubts, and he hurriedly entered the lift and pressed the button for the sixth floor.

  Xu Zhi'an explained his intentions while talking about the news he had just heard.

  From the sneakiness of the waiters, to the water tank that was hiding something in their mouths.

  However, regarding all of this, Bai Yanliang just listened quietly and didn't express any opinion.

  The lift was running.

  There were two people standing in the confined space, but for some reason, a strong uneasiness suddenly surged in the bottom of Xu Zhi An's heart ...

  What a familiar situation...

  The atmosphere in the lift, a little weird ...

  Strange thoughts took root immediately once they appeared and thrived under the watering of fear. The strong sense of uneasiness became more and more real, already causing Xu Zhi'an to tremble a little physically.

  It was too wrong!

  Although it was true that Bai Yanliang didn't seem like a person who liked to talk, but ... he wasn't so silent, was he?

  Could he ... be a ghost?

  Xu Zhi An shivered.

  And then subconsciously denied the idea.

  Impossible ... He had disguised himself as Feng Xinghan to deceive himself just before, how could he find himself again now?

  You know, this time the stalker is Bai Yanliang, not him Xu Zhi'an.

  Even if he was unlucky enough to run into a ghost, it was impossible for him to run into it twice in a row, right?

  Thinking of this, Xu Zhi An was slightly more at ease.

  At the same time, the sound of the lift reaching the sixth floor rang out.

  No problem ... It seems that Bai Yanliang is not a ghost, if he was a ghost, he should have done it a long time ago in the lift. ...

  Xu Zhi'an's fear gradually disappeared, while looking towards Bai Yanliang's back he let out a sigh of relief.

  However, at that moment, he suddenly noticed a large lump bulging at the back of Bai Yanliang's head.

  Xu Zhi An stepped out of the lift, followed him and asked, 'Mr Bai ..., what happened to your head?'

  Bai Yanliang didn't turn around, just continued to lead the way forward, 'Nothing, accidentally bumped into it.'

  Xu Zhi'an nodded, not thinking much about it.

  Suddenly, he came back to his senses, why was Bai Yanliang leading the way?

  Where was he going?

  Could it be that ...

  The suspicious thoughts had just appeared, but he heard Bai Yanliang suddenly say, 'Sorry, Mr Xu, I can't help it, I'll go to the toilet first.'

  Xu Zhi'an let out a huge sigh of relief, secretly saying that he was too neurotic, at this rate, one would go crazy sooner or later.

  After a slight relief, Xu Zhi An also felt a surge of urination coming up.

  'It's fine, it just so happens that I also want to go, let's go together.'

  Xu Zhi'an stepped up to follow two steps and said with a smile.

  The two of them walked one after the other, towards the toilet at the end of the corridor, and from time to time, there was September sunlight piercing in through the window.

  I don't know why, but the sunlight that looked quite bright suddenly became a bit gloomy when it shone on the wall.

  It's now afternoon, and it's not yet time for the sun to go down....

  As Xu Zhi'an was thinking this way, Bai Yanliang suddenly stopped in his tracks.

  Xu Zhi An looked up and saw that the toilet had arrived.

  The two hurried into the toilet.

  Male convenience was not cumbersome, and Bai Yanliang's movements were even faster than Xu Zhinan's. He had already taken a step ahead of him, lowering his head to go to the toilet.

  He had already taken a step ahead of him and lowered his head to the washbasin.

  Xu Zhi An shivered, and after finally finishing urinating, he looked at Bai Yanliang's back somewhat inquisitively.

  How did he ... keep not looking at himself?

  But ... this newcomer seemed to be originally a weirdo, and it wasn't strange to have any kind of behaviour ...

  Xu Zhi An found an explanation and once again let go of a doubt.

  After solving his physical problems, Xu Zhi An walked towards the sink while thinking about the water tank.

  Bai Yanliang was lowering his head and constantly slapping water on his face.

  Xu Zhi An hadn't really cared, however ... he had inadvertently, surprisingly discovered that the water flowing from Bai Yanliang's fingers was red!

  Xu Zhi'an shuddered in his heart, and subconsciously took a few steps back until he hit the wall with a 'BANG--' sound.

  This subtle sound was detected by Bai Yanliang, who raised his head, still not turning back, but this time, there was a mirror in front of Bai Yanliang.

  And through this mirror, Xu Zhi An finally saw his face.

  However, what he saw was ... a man with a festering face.'

  In the mirror, that faceless face was resentfully and viciously directed at him!
