The seven people divided into three teams, and the teams set out once again to gather information, but even as darkness fell, they still hadn’t found any reliable information.
When the three teams returned one after another and exchanged what they had learned, they realized they hadn’t gotten any useful information at all.
In room 701, Zhou Yingting listened to everyone’s words, his gaze falling on the number on the talisman paper, which read two.
If this really was a death countdown, then the situation was troubleso.
If by tomorrow the countdown hasn’t decreased, then the trouble would be over.
But if the countdown continued, things would indeed get troubleso.
"Since we didn’t gather any useful information today, let’s call it a day. Everyone go back to your rooms and sleep."
Zhou Yingting sighed and waved his hand.
The others listened to this and nodded lightly before heading back to their rooms.
Zhou Yingting stood in the corridor, watching them return to their rooms, and then turned to enter room 703.
Just as in the previous three nights, it wasn’t long before a drowsy sleepiness ca over Zhou Yingting.
Having experienced this before, Zhou Yingting knew he couldn’t resist the sleepiness, and he fell into a deep sleep.
When Zhou Yingting woke again, the sound of running water ca from the bathroom once more.
Zhou Yingting quietly observed this scene; after it happened several tis, his heart no longer wavered too much.
Yet even so, his spiritual power continued to dwindle, which seed to be an eerie feature of this level.
In this situation, even if you could maintain inner peace, your spiritual power would continue to deplete.
By this ti, Zhou Yingting had no more sleepiness and continued to wait for dawn.
Several hours passed slowly in tornt, and suddenly, as Zhou Yingting sensed sothing, he reached into his pocket and felt the talisman paper instantly appear in his hand.
The number that had originally been two changed to one.
Seeing the changing number, Zhou Yingting’s face beca extrely grim.
It was still deducted, but why?
Looking at the number on the talisman paper, Zhou Yingting took a deep breath, his face extrely unsightly.
Judging from the countdown on the talisman, it seed too much like a death countdown.
But why, why is this thing still counting down?
It was like a ticking ti bomb.
Zhou Yingting stared intently at the talisman; countless threads of thought ran through his mind, yet he couldn’t find a reasonable explanation for the current situation.
"Knock, knock!"
Who knows how much ti passed, but Zhou Yingting kept staring at the talisman without finding a reasonable reason.
At this mont, everyone else in the other rooms gathered and ca to Zhou Yingting’s room.
With the door closed, Song Qianqian imdiately knocked on it.
Zhou Yingting ca to the door and opened it.
When they saw Zhou Yingting, their breaths slightly caught.
Zhou Yingting’s expression clearly told them everything.
He didn’t say much, simply handing the talisman to everyone present to examine.
As Zhou Yingting held up the talisman, everyone clearly saw the number on it.
"One!"
Seeing the number, everyone felt their breaths catch slightly.
From five to two, now it was one.
This looked very much like a countdown, indeed like a so-called death countdown.
And what worried them most was if the number reached zero tonight, would they all really die?
Although Song Qianqian previously ntioned Zhou Yingting’s theory had flaws,
the countdown staring them in the face now was unnerving.
"How can it still be counting down? If this continues, doesn’t that an we’re dood?"
Gan Xinyang stared at the talisman, his face grim.
He didn’t want to believe it was true, yet he couldn’t prove it was false.
Song Qianqian locked her eyes on the talisman, took a deep breath, then fixed her gaze on Zhou Yingting.
"The countdown is still going. Have you found anything else?"
Zhou Yingting shook his head, "I’ve basically concluded that it’s counting down, reminding us ti is running out, but where exactly the flaw is, I don’t know."
Hearing this, Song Qianqian also bowed her head, deep in thought.
Yesterday’s hopes had been thoroughly dashed today, and they could only keep thinking, trying to find the anomaly.
It made no sense to end their road because they vacated a room without sleeping.
If that’s the case, how could anyone survive this level?
"Do you really believe what he says? He’s suspect to begin with! He’s definitely trying to trick us with this mysterious thing; the numbers on the talisman an nothing!"
As they pondered, Lin Yuxin suddenly spoke, her voice rising with a hint of madness.
She refused to believe she only had a day left to live!
Zhou Yingting clearly had sothing wrong, so why believe him?
What if a ghost was controlling his words?
Zhou Yingting had been considering things; hearing Lin Yuxin’s comnts, his face darkened. "What nonsense are you saying? If anyone’s suspicious, it’s you! I couldn’t see your shadow on the street that day!"
Zhou Yingting’s gaze pierced Lin Yuxin, and a thought suddenly struck him.
Perhaps the countdown continued because one of them was the problem! That’s why it kept going?
"What are you talking about?"
Lin Yuxin’s face changed, paling at the thought. She had a shadow. How could she not?
She quickly looked down, seeing her shadow firmly in place.
The others, hearing Zhou Yingting, instinctively glanced at Lin Yuxin and confird the shadow beneath her.
Seeing this, their eyes toward Zhou Yingting turned strange.
Could it be that he was the one with the problem?
But at this mont, Zhou Yingting showed no intent to defend himself, directly taking the Barrier-Breaking Liquid from his pocket.
Zhou Yingting took the liquid and dropped two drops in his eyes before handing it to Song Qingyun, suggesting she do the sa.
"I got this from that master’s place. After using it, you should temporarily see ghosts. Try it. Otherwise, they might not believe just my word."
