The lights in the villa were out, but the light from their watches was still there, so they could see things about two meters away.
After Bai Lin read the message, she went to the door of the villa and turned the doorknob before she told everyone, “The door’s locked. It’s probably the same for the other exits.
Bai Shao did not believe it. He went to the kitchen and wanted to climb out from the window but found that the window could not be opened either, so he came back silently.
Bai Lin gathered everyone around the round table in the living room and explained her thoughts.
“The mission asked us to find the ghost among us based on the clues.”
Bai Lin tapped her finger on the table and said, “The background story is important. We can split up later to look for the entrance to the basement, the red dress, the knife, the axe, and other things mentioned in the short message.”
Zhou Guang spoke up, “I was in the room on the first floor. I’ve searched it before and there’s nothing unusual.”
The others also reported their situations as well.
Yan Ruo caressed the chair’s armrest as he said thoughtfully, “We can rule out the second floor. Only the kitchen and the storeroom haven’t been searched on the first floor.
Lin Sen thought of something bad. “The storage room is too dirty. There are many bugs in it. I don’t know how the production team set it up.”
“Jiejie, you can search there then?” Bai Xi blinked and said weakly, “You dared to catch centipedes with your bare hands when you were in the forest. You’re so good.”
Bai Lin glanced at her. “If you’re so scared, why don’t you go as training? What if your fear of insects affects your career in the future?”
Bai Xi went silent.
Bai Lin looked away and said calmly, “We have to move together. The message also says that the ghost will kill one person every 15 minutes. If we’re together, it’ll be easier for the ghost to expose itself.”
Jin Ran was a little hesitant. “But does the ghost know that they’re the ghost? If they don’t know, how are we supposed to find them?”
“And we don’t know how the ghost will attack.” Bai Shao played many games and knew the routine of such games very well. He said confidently, “We can choose a person to be locked in the room alone and observe the ghost’s killing pattern.”
“You’re indeed my son, so very smart,” Zhao Yuan praised.
“Xiao Shao, you’re the best,” Bai Xi echoed.
“Alright,” Bai Lin said, “Since you’re the one who suggested it, then you can go.”
“Just pretend I didn’t say anything. What other good ideas do you have?”
Bai Lin stood up. “Let’s split into two teams. My team and I will go to the storeroom first. Your team will search the kitchen.’
Bai Shao muttered, “Why should we listen to you? You’re good at putting on an act.”
Bai Lin shrugged her shoulders indifferently. “Then why don’t you come with me to the storeroom?”
“I’ll go then,” Bai Shao said disdainfully, “What’s the big deal?”
The few of them discussed for a while and finally decided on the group division.
Bai Lin, Lin Sen, Bai Shao, Jin Ran, and Fan Feng would go to the storeroom while the rest would go to the kitchen.
Before they left, Bai Lin whispered in Zhou Guang and Yan Ruo’s ears, “Keep an eye on Bai Xi. There might be something off with her.”
“Search quickly and come into the storage room before the ghost starts killing,” she told Yan Ruo.
Zhou Guang and Yan Ruo nodded. They did not know why Bai Lin suspected Bai Xi, but they believed in Bai Lin.
The audience, who had the omniscient point of view, wanted to rush into the variety show scene and shout grabbing their collars.
[Zhou-ge! My light! Don’t blindly trust her!]
[Ah, ah, ah, I shouldn’t have watched Travelers in the middle of the night. This is too exciting! I can’t sleep!]
[Who’d have thought that Bai Lin is the ghost? Her reaction is too natural. Isn’t she afraid at all? She’s even taken the lead to find her own loophole.]
[The situation is now completely under Bai Lin’s control, but I’m a little curious. The condition for a ghost to kill someone is to be alone with them and have a knife or axe. But Bai Lin’s taking the initiative to team up. How is she going to do it?]
[That’s not all. When I looked through the previous videos and zoomed in on Bai Lin’s message, other than the two conditions of the weapon and being alone, it also said that if she didn’t kill anyone when the time’s up, she’ll lose right away.]
[But she can choose to turn the Derson into a ghost too. right?]
[It can only be done once, and the target must be someone from her original family. The conditions for turning the person into a ghost are the same as killing someone. Before that happens, that person mustn’t know her identity.
In short… it’s quite difficult.]
[I feel like it’ll be very difficult for the ghost to win this game.] [Bai Lin’s going to kill the first person in seven minutes. I’m nervous.]
[Such an important role for Bai Lin? How much benefit did she give the production team?]
[Don’t be jealous. There’s only something exciting to watch when it’s Bai Lin who gets this identity. If Bai Xi gets it, the game will be over directly..]
