This was not the first time that Ji Mingxia had encountered such visions.

Last night, he and Zhao Zhuoye encountered a similar situation.

At that moment, Zhao Zhouye could see it, but Ji Mingxia could not.

No wonder Zhao Zhuoye was so frightened. The moment he saw the earlier scene, his brain crashed. Who could have withstood it?

Like this technician just now. There was no blood after the dismemberment, he just lay there like a dismembered mannequin scattered on the ground, but Ji Mingxia still couldn’t tell whether that was a real person or a dummy.

His first reaction was to run away and escape to where he thought was safe.

Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia hurriedly looked at Yu Ning: "Did it attack you? Are you alright?"

"I’m fine." Yu Ning said.

Ji Mingxia looked Yu Ning up and down and made sure he was intact before he breathed a slight sigh of relief, "How did this thing appear in broad daylight...... and without any signs at all?"

The spa pavilion was different from the lake.

Last night, Ji Mingxia and Zhao Zhouye walked near the lake shore in order to get a better look at the cheongsam woman. It was farther away from the crowd, and it was night time. In addition, there was water around, all of which fit the horror scene.

But it was now daytime, and it was surprising to see a ghost in a place as lively as the spa.

Thinking that Chen Zhen and the others were still in another room, and Zhao Zhuoye had been attacked just last night and was in a high-risk group, Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning hurried to the other rooms to check on the situation.

The package Zhao Zhuo chose was different from Ji Mingxia’s, as it included a foot soak and so on, so the service took a little longer.

When Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning went over, they were still having a lively spa session. They were enjoying themselves while chatting, watching TV, and occasionally drinking some herbal tea.

Compared to Ji Mingxia’s and Yu Ning’s private room, which was quiet and private, Zhao Zhuoye’s side of the room was simply lively, with the sounds of the TV, people, music, and water as they soaked their feet. It all intertwined and made a lot of noise, and the temperature was much higher than in the private room.

When he saw Ji Mingxia enter, Zhao Zhuoye even smiled mischievously, "I ordered you a full body spa package, why are you out so soon?"

Normally, Ji Mingxia would have pounced on him and choked him, but he was no longer in the mood.

After confirming that everyone was safe and sound, Ji Mingxia walked around the room a few times to make sure that the technicians were also normal. He finally put his mind at ease and made a random excuse before retreating with Yu Ning.

As they walked down the corridor of the rooms, Ji Mingxia said, after a moment’s thought, "Should we persuade everyone to leave this hotel?"

Among them, only Yu Ning had the power to defend himself. Ji Mingxia’s golden finger was that he knew the plot, but the plot had not unfolded at the moment, so his golden finger was also half useless.

In any case, at least the two of them were key figures in the main plot of this world. Yu Ning didn’t need an introduction, and although Ji Mingxia is a supporting character, he has to encounter ghosts sooner or later, and he has long been psychologically prepared, unlike ordinary people.

But Zhao Zhouye and the rest were unnamed in the book.

That is, for them, this is a world without ghosts and monsters.

When he first discovered that Li Youzi was in this hotel, Ji Mingxia not only didn’t stop his roommates, but also dragged Yu Ning along with him.

He thought that the possible disaster would affect ordinary people, and the mysterious items would only strike the people involved.

As a result, things were much more complicated than he had imagined.

This second ring and the first ring were not from the same path at all, and Ji Mingxia was even more worried that they hadn’t even seen Li Youzi up to now.

They were like headless flies inside the hotel, passively taking attacks and completely unable to find a breakthrough point.

Yu Ning looked around thoughtfully and slowly said, "Let’s go to the hotel and ask for surveillance."

"Surveillance?" Ji Mingxia froze, "Would there be surveillance in the spa rooms?"

Because it involved physical relaxation, most people would take off their clothes when having a spa session, and in consideration of the customer’s privacy, it was unlikely that they’d installed surveillance inside the room. If they did, then this spa would have to be prepared to be sued until it closed down.

Although there was no such thing in the room, there was surveillance in the corridors.

Since Yu Ning had taken the initiative, Ji Mingxia naturally cooperated.

To Ji Mingxia’s surprise, Yu Ning wanted to look at the surveillance, but he skipped the person in charge of the spa and instead went straight to the hotel.

However, the hotel was mainly responsible for the entire resort, so going directly there would indeed save a lot of trouble.

Upon learning that they had encountered a mysterious incident at the spa, the front desk staff first took Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning to the waiting room, told them to wait for a moment, and then hurriedly contacted their supervisor to deal with the matter.

Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning waited in the reception room for about fifteen minutes.

With a "click", the door of the reception room was opened, and the hotel manager that Ji Mingxia met last night appeared in front of them once again.

She was wearing the same work clothes as yesterday, and as soon as she saw Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning, she smiled with sincerity and apologized.

"Hello, I am the person in charge of the Quanzhuang Resort. I heard that the two of you encountered unpleasant things in the resort. May I ask what was done wrong?"

The hotel manager immediately poured two cups of hot tea for Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning as she talked.

She had a soft temperament and a low voice. When she spoke slowly, she was full of soothing power.

Ji Mingxia had a good impression of this hotel manager yesterday, and all kinds of negative emotions within his heart instantly subsided.

Ji Mingxia’s eyes fell on the name tag on the chest of the hotel manager, which said: Tong Jing.

Yu Ning gave a brief account of what had just happened in the spa.

As his words fell, the remaining people present, except for Ji Mingxia, all had incredulous expressions on their faces.

The hotel manager had slightly better control over her facial expressions compared to the others, but she still couldn’t help but say, a little strangely, "Are you saying that you encountered a ghost in the room at the spa?"

"That’s right." Yu Ning said, "It’s not the first time we’ve been in danger inside the hotel, so I hope the hotel can help us investigate what all this is about."

"Not the first time you’ve been in danger?" The hotel manager asked suspiciously, "Could it be that you have seen a ghost in the spa more than once? But our hotel was just established not long ago, and before that, there had never been any accidents, and those urban myths have never happened again.

Yu Ning didn’t delve deeper into the question, but said, "That’s why we skipped the spa pavilion and came straight to the hotel to deal with the matter. If it wasn’t a haunting, then we can only trouble you to help find suspicious characters or even suspicious drugs. "

The hotel manager smiled and immediately understood what Yu Ning meant.

If there were no ghosts, the biggest possibility for a customer to have a hallucination inside the room was that the interior of the spa was not clean.

Something like a haunting was too metaphysical for ordinary people.

But if suspicious people appeared inside the spa or suspicious drugs, it would be damaging.

This kind of thing had never happened, but since a guest reported it, the hotel manager naturally could not just sit back and watch.

"We are a formal resort. All the shops in the scenic area are compliant and legal. The hotel has been operating for so long since its opening, and there has never been an incident related to such issues. Regarding your safety, you two can absolutely rest assured."

The hotel manager then went on to explain seriously, "Of course, to make our customers feel at ease, it is our duty to investigate everything. You two wait a moment; we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

The hotel manager quickly instructed the staff to leave together to investigate this incident.

This incident was much more difficult for the staff than last night. After all, when someone falls into the lake, the first thing to do is to save them.

After confirming that the person’s life is safe, they can simply seal off the scene and take their time to repair it afterwards.

But if it involved something like suspicious drugs, it was a suspected crime, and the hotel couldn’t startle the snake.

This time, Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning waited for more than an hour. Zhao Zhuoye and the others slept in the spa during this time, while Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning waited in the reception room.

However, after almost two hours of waiting, they still didn’t get the answer they wanted.

When the hotel manager returned to the reception room again, she looked visibly relieved and said to Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning: "Our staff went to the spa to check the surveillance, on-site inspection, and so on, and we can confirm that there are absolutely no suspicious items in the spa and no irregularities. Everything is safe in the resort."

"If you two are still unsure, we also support you calling the police and letting the police handle all this."

Ji Mingxia did not quite understand what medicine Yu Ning was selling, and when he heard what the hotel manager said, he immediately said smoothly, "Then can you please retrieve the part of the surveillance that involved us when we were in the spa, and show it to us?"

"Of course." The hotel manager said, instructing the staff to send the surveillance over.

During the waiting process, the hotel manager also took two small gift boxes and handed them to Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning: "In any case, it was our fault for causing you two to be frightened. This is a small token of our appreciation for you, and we hope you will have a pleasant holiday at the hotel."

Ji Mingxia did not expect to receive a gift.

Even without that incident yesterday, Ji Mingxia’s current impression of this hotel manager was extremely favourable.

But the thought of being placated and then immediately losing the memory made Ji Mingxia feel a chill run down his spine, and he was no longer moved.

He did not extend his hand to accept the gift.

Yu Ning also said very coldly, "This unpleasant experience has made it difficult for us to enjoy our holiday in peace. If we leave now, may I ask if you can refund the rest of the expenses to us?"

The hotel manager did not expect Yu Ning to ask so bluntly. She was stunned for a moment and then said, "If you must, of course we can."

Yu Ning said, "A refund at the original price at the time of booking?"

The hotel manager smiled a little, "Yes."

The surveillance video was still being sent, and at Yu Ning’s request, the hotel manager calculated the total amount that could be refunded if they left today.

By the time the calculation was done, the surveillance video was also sent over just in time.

As no one had had an accident today, and the hotel’s internal investigation didn’t bring up any alarming things, the hotel staff did not accompany them when they checked the surveillance. They left Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning to have a good rest in the reception room and said they would come back if there was anything wrong.

The large reception room was quiet again.

Ji Mingxia’s mood was very different from yesterday’s when he looked at the surveillance footage again. He took his time looking at it carefully because, according to yesterday’s experience, this surveillance might be gone by tomorrow.

The surveillance inside the spa was very similar to the surveillance on the lake. On the surface, it appeared free of all abnormalities.

As there were no cameras inside the room, what was retrieved was the surveillance in the corridor.

The first to enter were Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning.

Around ten minutes later, two technicians with plates also walked in.

When they opened the door, Ji Mingxia made a point of confirming that the two had facial features.

When the technicians entered, the corridor returned to silence, with not a single person in sight. Ji Mingxia guessed that this was probably the time when he wanted to change his package.

According to Ji Mingxia’s memory, he and Yu Ning would lie down together after, and enjoy a head massage.

However, at this very moment, the door of the room suddenly opened.  To his surprise, the technician who was supposed to serve Yu Ning left the room at this time.

After he left, the corridor returned to silence, and no one ever entered or left the room again.

 Goosebumps rose all over Ji Mingxia’s body as he looked at the closed door of the room in the camera.

For as far as he could remember, Yu Ning’s technician had never left.

The head massage lasted for forty minutes, but not even ten minutes in, Yu Ning’s technician had already changed from human to ghost without anyone noticing.

At that time, Ji Mingxia, who was beside him, didn’t notice any abnormality at all, and was even chatting with the little technician brother.

Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia could not help but think back to the words that the little technician brother said to him before he left, and he shivered with a bad chill.

"What’s wrong?" Yu Ning noticed Ji Mingxia’s small movements and inquired.

Ji Mingxia repeated that little brother’s words to Yu Ning.

"Now that I think about it, that little brother’s expression and movements were also quite abnormal. Perhaps he discovered that something was wrong at that time but he didn’t think it was his companion who had the problem and thought it was you……" Ji Mingxia muttered. "That little brother's eyes are really bad. He mistook us as a couple and thought you were being jealous yet it was the ghost next to him that was making moves."

As Ji Mingxia said this, he thought of Yu Ning being pestered by that faceless ghost and at the same time being misunderstood, and he simply felt pity for him.

Therefore, he did not notice that after hearing his words, Yu Ning silently turned his head and hid the unnatural expression on his face.
