"Okay, how many nights will you be staying?"
The landlady eyed her up, "Are you from abroad?"
"You could tell? Yes, I’m here looking for my sister. She came here on a trip and has gone missing."
The landlady’s eyes shifted, "You came here looking for your sister, don’t you know what kind of place this is?"
She pretended not to know, "I saw a lot of armed people outside, is this a military base of Country T?"
"No, you don’t want to mess with those people outside. I think your sister, there’s an 80% chance she won’t be found. Those outside are from the notorious WT murder organization. Have you heard of WT?"
"I’ve heard of it." Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel⚑fire.net
"So, you better return to your country first thing in the morning, stop wandering around here."
She didn’t say much more, took the key, and went to the room on the second floor.
The room was 100 yuan a night, and the moment the door opened, a musty, damp smell hit her.
Gu Lili switched on the light and casually shut the door.
Just as she did, the light suddenly went out.
Surprised, she turned it back on, just removed a flashlight from her bag when the light went out again.
Gu Lili turned it on for the third time, unsurprisingly, it went off again.
"Brat, is this fun for you?"
She threw a talisman out, turned on the light for the fourth time, and finally, it stayed on.
Gu Lili rounded the corner, her eyes landing on the ghostly figure of a man sitting on the bed.
"This is a room for the living, you should automatically leave when guests come, instead of competing with them for the room."
"I can see you." Gu Lili added one more line, "And I’m not at all afraid of you."
"Just remove the talisman paper, and I’ll leave."
Gu Lili walked up to him, right to the bedside, "How long have you been around here?"
"Do I need to tell you that?"
"Then I don’t need to release you." Gu Lili was calm, "I’m not afraid of you, we might as well share the room, it avoids loneliness and gives me someone to talk to."
The man hadn’t expected this and automatically answered her question, "I’ve been here for five or six years."
"Why haven’t you reincarnated?"
"When I died, many of my companions died too, the Ghost Messenger missed me during the roundup, so I just got lucky."
"Looking at you, were you shot in the head?" she deduced, "You weren’t part of WT, were you?"
"It seems you were, since that’s the case, I still have use for you." Gu Lili glanced at him, "My sister has been captured by WT, I need to save her, you guide me."
"Why should I help you?"
"If you help me, I’ll help you in return, it won’t be a bad deal." Gu Lili pondered, "If you don’t help me, then I’ll have to send you to the underworld."
"Didn’t expect that, did you? That’s just who I am." She gave him two options, "Either continue living in this manner, or go reincarnate. Don’t overrate yourself, without you, I’ll just go out and catch a couple of brats; from the hotel entrance to the room entrance, I’ve seen tens of them. Especially in a place , they’re everywhere."
"Going in there alone is too dangerous; ordinary people can’t handle what’s inside."
"In your eyes, am I an ordinary person?" Gu Lili raised an eyebrow, "Just guide me in, leave the rest to me."
