Weird Apocalypse: Rebirth Starts with Trillions of Ghost Money

Chen Mu continued, “After I lit my birthday candles, I discovered a shocking fact.

My birthday candles had no attack effect. Its coverage area reached a circle with a radius of 20 meters.

You should know what this means.”

Xiao Shi couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Boss, are you saying that when Jiao Yixue died, the female ghost didn't show up at all?"

Chen Mu nodded, "So, the one who opened the door and killed people wasn't a female ghost at all! The murderer who killed Jiao Yixue was a human!

It’s just that there are too many people involved, including Director Qi, nurse Liu, Xiao Zhang, Xue Xuexue, Zhang Shanyi... and even other elderly people in the nursing home.

I'm not sure who killed the person.

Xue Xuexue also had a motive. Who knows if she was greedy for the props and wanted to kill Jiao Yixue? Or maybe this time, the Guimen is some strange mechanism that requires players to kill each other.

So starting this morning, I'll avoid teaming up with Xue Xuexue. They can do whatever they want, so stay away from them and be careful not to get hurt.

What is the truth behind the nursing home? Who is the murderer behind the scenes? What is the relationship between the female ghost and the rules? Are the rules protecting us?

All these confusions are in my mind.

So when you told me that there were bloodstains in the room, I didn't ask you to go find nurse Liu immediately.

Because the murderer is not a ghost but a human. The bloodstains left by ghosts are not necessarily dangerous.

The bloodstain pointed to the dean's office building.

I think if we explore there tonight, we'll definitely get some key clues. At least the female ghost faction wants us to know something.

As for your question about why you had to go after 11 o'clock, I think you have figured it out.

The murderer is not a ghost, which means that if you leave the room after 11 o'clock, you will not be killed by the ghost. The danger of traveling at night has been greatly reduced.

It is more dangerous to stay in the room after 11 o'clock.

The murderer can slowly select the room and choose his prey at night.

So tonight, follow me. Breaking the rules doesn't have to be a death sentence.

Because the rules are not entirely correct.

Sometimes, judging which rules are credible and the dangers of following or violating them is also an important skill."

After listening to Chen Mu's analysis, Xiao Shi couldn't help but be convinced.

He gave Chen Mu a thumbs up and said, "Boss, you're really decisive. In those few seconds when Jiao Yixue opened the door, you actually made up your mind and used such a rare item as birthday candles."

Chen Mu smiled and shrugged, "Birthday candles are indeed precious. But props, after all, are for people to use.

At least the birthday candles were exchanged for the important clue that "the murderer is not a female ghost."

Now we know much more than Xue Xuexue and the others.

They went to find Xiao Zhang to look for clues, and I think there is a high probability that they would return empty-handed.

Oh, and please cover the wall so no one can see the bloodstains. From now on, until tonight, don't let anyone into your room.

Tonight at 11 o'clock, we will act together!"

Xiao Shi nodded vigorously. He very much agreed with Chen Mu's adventure.

Just as Chen Mu predicted, Xue Xuexue and Zhang Shanyi did not get any useful clues from Xiao Zhang.

During dinner, Xiao Shi told Chen Mu that the bloodstains in his room had disappeared again.

The entire wall turned back to its previous snow-white color.

"Is there no weirdness causing you any trouble?" Chen Mu asked.

"No, nothing unusual happened."

"That means there's probably something wrong with the fourth rule. The presence of blood in the room doesn't necessarily mean you need to call a caregiver, and there won't be any consequences." Chen Mu analyzed.

"Rather than protecting us, I feel like this rule is hiding something."

After dinner, the nursing home gradually fell into darkness amidst the heavy rain.

As the night deepened, the heavy rain showed no sign of stopping.

Chen Mu didn't care. He had another idea: he needed to wait until the rain stopped or subsided before going out to verify the work. However, to go to the Dean's Office Building, there was no need to wait for the rain to stop.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Mu was on the balcony and saw that the lights in the dean's office building were off.

Dean Qi returned to his dormitory to rest, holding a black umbrella.

In the cafeteria, the lights were turned off and the chef had finished cleaning the cafeteria, ending his busy day.

In the entire nursing home, except for the rooms in the main building, which were still sparsely lit, the rest of the place was completely dark.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, Chen Mu turned off the lights in the room, creating the illusion that he was getting ready to go to sleep.

The kid next door was also very clever. He waited half an hour after Chen Mu turned off his light before turning off his own. The frequency of the two people turning off their lights did not indicate any collusion.

Based on the time of death of Cui Ning and Jiao Yixiu, the murderer would choose to act after midnight or in the second half of the night.

Therefore, it is relatively safe around 11 o'clock.

As eleven o'clock in the evening arrived, Chen Mu pushed open the door and walked out cautiously.

At the same time, Xiao Shi also slipped out quietly.

The two looked at each other and said nothing tacitly.

In the dark corridor, the doors on both sides were closed, and only Chen Mu and his companion were there.

In order to avoid being secretly monitored, Chen Mu did not choose to take the elevator.

He took Xiaoshi and walked towards the dark stairs.

Fortunately, when they first arrived at the nursing home, several players walked up and down the stairs and had some understanding of their condition.

Walking down the stairs in the dark, Chen Mu did not trip.

In the darkness, Xiao Shi whispered:

"Boss, I was in my room at night, thinking about a question. You said Cui Ning and Jiao Yixue died, one was torn apart by five horses, and the other was skinned.

If someone killed them, how could they have been torn apart and skinned in such a quiet night?

Human bones are exceptionally hard. Chopping off Cui Ning's bones would surely have made a loud noise, so how did they dismember her so quietly?

Chen Mu shook his head. "I don't know either. Maybe there's some weirdness involved. There's probably more than one murderer, or even more than one faction."

The situation at the nursing home is more complicated than either of us imagined. Tonight in Dean Qi's office, I hope to find some useful clues."

When they said this, the two of them had already gone downstairs.

At this time, all the lights in the rooms on the first floor were off. The elderly were all asleep. Rainy days are a good time to sleep.

Only the lights in the duty room were still on as usual. A caregiver was on duty there, even at night.

Chen Mu and Xiao Shi were quiet to avoid being discovered by the people in the duty room.

The two came to the exit of the main building, and on the stormy night, they resolutely walked into the wind and rain.
