Before daybreak, a scream broke the silence of the morning.

The sound came from outside the hotel.

Xie Fei didn't sleep well last night and was woken up by the noise. His face looked extremely ugly and he crawled up crookedly like a zombie.

"Don't get up." Zhou Xing pressed his head and stuffed him back into the quilt.

Xie Fei tilted his head, looking confused: "?"

Kind of cute.

Zhou Xing stood beside the bed with a gentle smile in his eyes, ruffling his already messy hair even more messy, "Baby is so good."

Xie Fei half-drooped his eyelids, whining and slapping his hand away.

Many people were awakened by the screams and walked outside one after another.

"Jiang Zhi is not going." Zhou Xing stopped Jiang Zhi who was going downstairs with Ming Xia, pointed at the door that had not yet been closed, and said, "Keep an eye on Xie Fei."

Jiang Zhi blinked. Are they really going to let her in like this? Will she see something she shouldn’t see?

"Oh, okay." She thought as she pushed open the door, watched Zhou Xing and the other three go downstairs, then walked in with peace of mind.

A body suddenly appeared in the alley between the hotel and the residential building on the left.

An office worker who was passing by discovered it, and the scream was also made by her.

The police have set up a cordon, and those gathered outside are either spectators or players looking for clues.

The deceased was a young girl with many wounds on her body. Her limbs were all broken. Her face was hideous, her eyeballs were bulging, and there was a red ribbon wrapped around her neck.

Chen Xuan's Yin-Yang eyes saw a little ghost hiding in the corner. The little ghost looked similar to the deceased, so it should be her.

He took out a red rope, passed through the cordon and the crowd, and directly wrapped it around the female ghost.

"Brother Xing..." Chen Xuan whispered to him about his discovery.

Zhou Xing nodded and asked him and Mingxia to go back and talk.

Ming Xia pointed to the other side of the alley and said, "I'll go over there first."

"Ah."

When I returned to the room, Xie Fei was already awake. He was wrapped in a quilt and sitting side by side with Jiang Zhi on the edge of the bed, whispering something to the open window.

Hearing the sound at the door, they turned back at the same time and inexplicably felt that the temperature in the room had become a little lower after they came in.

"You're back. Have you eaten yet?" Xie Fei glanced behind Tan and asked, "Where's Sister Xia?"

Ming Xia is 25 years old this year, older than Xie Fei, so he followed Jiang Zhi and Chen Xuan and started calling her sister.

"I went to investigate." Zhou Xing looked at the bread in his hand and said softly, "Is this what you want to eat?"

"No, I'll wait until you guys come back." Xie Fei glanced at the time. It was only half past six, so it was a bit early to have breakfast. "What's the situation outside?"

Chen Xuan sat aside and said, "We caught a ghost, which is the deceased himself. We can ask him directly."

As he said this, he took out a stick of incense, and after lighting it, the smoke automatically floated towards the female ghost, revealing her figure.

The female ghost was suddenly stared at by several pairs of eyes and shrank back in fear, especially Zhou Xing. She had sensed the terrifying aura of this man since she was in the alley just now.

Chen Xuan hurriedly said: "Brother Fei, hurry up, there are only ten minutes."

"Yeah." Xie Fei crossed his legs and yawned lazily, "What's your name? How did you appear there? Do you know who the murderer is?"

"Mei Zi, my name is Mei Zi."

Xie Fei subconsciously sat up straight. What a guy, he was just talking about her yesterday, and she died today.

Compared to Zhou Xing, Mei Zi didn't seem as afraid of Xie Fei. She spoke in a low and somewhat unnatural voice, but she still tried her best to talk about her memories of her life.

Meizi is 24 years old this year. She started working after graduating from junior high school. Her hometown is a small place. Workers either work as waitresses in restaurants or in factories. She was married to a man 19 years older than her at the age of . After not getting pregnant for several years, the man began to dislike her and cheated on her soon after. Two months ago, the mistress came to her house pregnant, so Meizi simply divorced the man.

She came to this city a month ago and moved into this hotel with the money she had saved for several years. She tried many jobs but failed, and finally went to the fried chicken restaurant.

Mei Zi met a group of street thugs on her way home from work one day. She was almost bullied. It was Ah Hu who passed by who saved her.

Ah Hu is the big man with tattoos who died yesterday.

For half a month in a row, she and Ah Hu met at that alley, and gradually, they got together, but it also became the beginning of a nightmare.

Meizi knew there was something wrong with this hotel.

Because she came back late from work, she always saw some men around, but they didn't look like hotel guests or employees, but they had keys to hotel rooms.

At first she just felt strange, but then she passed by a room and heard strange noises from inside, so she thought about taking a look. The sound of a woman crying inside made her hair stand on end.

She didn't care about being discovered, and the man inside came out and said he was teaching his wife a lesson and told her to mind her own business.

Mei Zi was timid and ran away without looking back. When she turned a corner, she looked back for some reason and saw a woman with disheveled hair crawling out of the door and being dragged back by a man.

She was so scared that she didn't get enough rest for several days. Ah Hu noticed her abnormality and asked her about it with concern.

Mei Zi told him everything she saw.

Ah Hu said that if she was still scared, he could stay with her at night.

Although Mei Zi had some concerns, she still agreed. Ah Hu accompanied her for a few days and did nothing, and she never encountered the same thing that happened that day again. Gradually, she felt relieved and thought that day was just an accident.

About a week ago, the small table in Mei Zi's room broke. She thought there were many abandoned tables on the rooftop and maybe she could move one and use it. When she went upstairs, she heard Ah Hu talking to someone else.

They were talking about the new guests at the hotel and how to get those two girls.

Mei Zi realized that she might have overheard a secret, a secret about the hotel, the men who appeared, and the female guests in the hotel.

But before she could finish listening, Mei Zi was discovered.

[Koi Team triggers side quest: Disappearing Guests]

Before Mei Zi finished speaking, the system prompt sounded.

Xie Fei bent his legs and rested his head on his knees. He could probably piece together the secret from Mei Zi's words.

Tears of blood flowed from Mei Zi's eyes, and her resentment became stronger.

"I was so scared. Every time a new guest came to the hotel, they would get the guest's information from the owner. If the guest was from out of town, they would just go into the room with the key and violate them."

"We didn't dare to call the police. If we did, they would kill us. They also have the video in their hands. Yes, the video!" Mei Zi was a little incoherent. She looked around in panic and shouted, "All the rooms in the hotel have surveillance cameras. That's how they took the video."

Hearing her say that there was a camera in the room, Jiang Zhi was furious and shouted, "They are going too far! They are a bunch of scum!"

When they moved in yesterday, Xie Fei asked Jiang Zhi and the others to put signal jammers in their respective rooms. It was just in case, but they didn't expect that they would actually be used.
