"Hurry!"

"Break down the door!"

Outside, Chu He discovered that the flashlight and other tools had started working again.

Yue Shan was rapidly banging on a wooden door.

Bang!

The door was violently opened, and a figure burst out.

"Brother!"

Yue Qin, with a face full of panic, threw herself into Yue Shan's arms.

"Xiao Qin?!"

Yue Shan was both shocked and delighted, "Wasn't it Wu Qi inside before?"

"I don't know... I kept running, fell on the ground, and passed out…" Yue Qin shivered all over.

After listening, Chu He silently entered the compartment and looked around with the flashlight.

Han Bingjie also came in and saw just a small compartment with a few bookshelves... But Wu Qi had utterly disappeared!

"Strange!"

Murong Hong screamed, "Yue Qin is the 'ghost'!"

"Get lost, my sister is not the 'ghost'!" Yue Shan, holding his sister, glared furiously.

"How do you explain... She was in the same room as Wu Qi, and then Wu Qi disappeared..."

Murong Hong was almost at a loss for words.

Chu He, however, calmly picked up a small black wooden box from the ground, looked at its empty interior, and sighed, "Wu Qi used the supernatural item but still couldn't escape his fate; should we say it's truly worthy of a team-building difficulty 'ghost'?"

"Alright, although there are some coincidences, I think the chances of Yue Qin lying are not high..."

He looked at Yue Qin and suddenly asked, "Where is your supernatural item?"

Yue Qin reached into her pocket, her expression changing, "It's gone..."

At this moment, even Yue Shan felt something was wrong.

"This… Brother Yue Shan, I think, let's all take a step back. We could keep an eye on your sister for a while and see..."

Han Bingjie tried to mediate.

Now, due to Wu Qi's death, they had some time.

"I don't trust you!"

Yue Shan suddenly said, "I am also a regular employee now, don't you know how low company employees can stoop to survive? Just for a possibility, they can butcher their colleagues... you!"

He pointed at Murong Hong, "This woman, you wouldn't think that killing us would stop the 'ghost' from acting, would you?"

Murong Hong's expression froze, as if he had struck a nerve.

But upon reflection, she knew it was just a delusion.

If the other party really was the 'ghost,' killing its superficial layer would only make it more terrifying!

In her heart, she guessed there was a certain possibility that the Yue siblings were not the 'ghost,' but considering this task was at the Yue Family ancestral home, there might be other possibilities.

For instance, an ancestor of the Yue Family might have committed some misdeed, stirring up the 'ghost,' leading to the death of Yue Xue and his wife. By sacrificing their two children, perhaps the 'ghost' would leave—that was where salvation lay!

At this moment, one couldn't trust anyone!

"I want to act separately!"

Yue Shan pulled out a dagger, supporting his sister determinedly as the two retreated to the back of the house.

"Brother!"

Yue Qin leaned against Yue Shan, looking very weak, "If I..."

"Don't talk nonsense, whatever happens, you are my sister!"

Yue Shan looked into his sister's bewildered, doe-like eyes and asserted firmly.

For some reason, he suddenly shivered...

...

"Chu He, what should we do?"

Watching the Yue siblings leave, Han Bingjie suddenly felt at a loss and looked helplessly toward Chu He.

"Separate?"

Chu He shook his head, "Yue Shan no longer trusts us. It's better to act separately... While we still have a little time, let's go find people!"

"Who are you looking for?" Han Bingjie asked.

"Su Nuan!"

Chu He shook the package on the ground, "Sometimes this item is the key to unlocking horror, other times it's the crucial clue to finding a way out…"

"And once it's served its purpose as a key, why would the ghost purposely leave behind a medical record? The human intervention here is too significant… Based on most past experiences, such keys are generally used and discarded because they are useless to the ghost, like Cao Liuyu's photo..."

"So..." Han Bingjie said, "Brother Chu, do you suspect that Su Nuan's first disappearance wasn't caused by a ghost dragging her away but that she left on her own? She got here first and took the most important clue? This woman is crazy… Isn't she afraid of running into the ghost?"

"She has always been crazy, hurry up and find her now!"

Chu He led the way out of the library and started searching to the left.

The Yue Family's old mansion was too large, and it was night, making it difficult to find someone who was hiding.

Not to mention, the ghost's danger was closing in!

"Where is she?"

Murong Hong kicked open a room, shone her flashlight wildly, and saw several wardrobes but dared not search inside.

After all, leaving Chu He and the others' line of sight was tantamount to suicide!

With the company's protection, although the ghost would be calm for a while after killing, this interval was getting shorter and shorter!

Not to mention, the ghost in team-building tasks was bound to be extremely terrifying!

"Nothing!"

At that time, Han Bingjie also emerged from another room, his face covered in dust, "Chu He, why didn't you go in and check?"

"Su Nuan isn't a ghost; if she walked on a dusty floor, she would definitely leave traces..."

Chu He stood up, calmly said, "Just looking at the dust inside after opening the door gives a good enough clue..."

"Why didn't you say that earlier?"

Han Bingjie widened his eyes.

Just then, a series of footsteps came from behind the adjoining wall.

Tap, tap!

Tap, tap!

"Su Nuan? Is that you, Su Nuan?!"

Han Bingjie cried out in surprise, about to step forward, he saw the serious expressions on the faces of Chu He and Murong Hong, and suddenly stopped, wishing he could slap himself hard.

Tap, tap!

The footsteps paused, then began to approach them.

One step, another step...

Han Bingjie's heart nearly leaped out of his chest as he heard footsteps already reaching the arch on the wall.

In the next moment, they would appear in front of them.

Cold sweat formed on his forehead, and he quickly threw a small wooden box, smashing it on the arch.

Crack!

The box cracked open, and a piece of white bone fell out, seemingly releasing an invisible chill.

From behind the wall, a pitch-black hand slowly reached out, its nails pallid, slowly moved forward, grabbed the bone, and retracted behind the wall.

Crunch, crunch!

The sound of chewing echoed again.

Han Bingjie kept backing away, following Chu He in a desperate escape when he heard the chewing.

'The ghost is attacking again, so soon!'

'And the effect of the supernatural items has been weakened!'

'This ghost is far more terrifying than we could have imagined!'

'We're going to die! If this goes on, everyone will die!'

The night was still long, and their supernatural items were about to run out.

In Han Bingjie's heart, deep despair began to surface…

…

In the back mansion.

Su Nuan held an ancient book in her hands, slowly flipping to the last page, a smile on her lips, "So... that's what it is."
