"Who the hell is pretending to be a ghost?!"

Yu Duola was completely furious: "Get out!!! Get out here right now!!"

There are no ghosts in this world.

If there are, it must be someone pretending to be one.

I swiped up the screen, and sure enough, this person had changed their name and profile picture at midnight.

Further up the chat history, they had sent us the room password.

It was the admin responsible for sending out room passwords.

Without hesitation, I immediately initiated a voice call.

Hung up.

Switched to video call.

Still hung up immediately.

Things were quite clear now, this remote monitoring admin was the prime suspect!

Hu Mo had already taken swift action. He stepped over Ma Jie’s corpse, grabbed Hong Hong by the hair, pulled her close, and through gritted teeth, demanded:

"You and that admin are in on this, aren't you? You two are working together, with them pretending to be a ghost and you doing the killing, right?! They told you everyone's passwords, so you could enter our rooms at will. Did you also poison the drinks in advance?! Who the hell are you, who the hell are you!!!"

"Hu Mo, calm down!

A little!

" I tried to intervene.

Hong Hong’s neck was being strangled, she couldn't breathe, her face turning blue and purple.

Hu Mo's forehead veins bulged; he was really going all out to kill her.

Yu Duola and I exchanged a glance, then we both pulled him away from opposite sides.

Yu Duola gave him a hard slap across the face.

"What are you freaking out about when we haven’t even figured things out yet?!"

Hong Hong collapsed to the ground, dry heaving, then broke down into sobs.

"It wasn't me… it wasn't me… I just… took a job on a part-time platform. How was I supposed to know so much would happen… that someone would die… I want to go home! I want to go home!!!"

"What part-time platform? Speak clearly, who hired you?"

Hong Hong, disheveled, shook her head nervously:

"I never met that person. The job posting only mentioned cleaning a villa and helping others check in. Because my school is also in this area, I took the job since it was only four or five stops away. I really didn't know—"

"Hand over your phone, let me see" I interrupted.

After hesitating for a long time, Hong Hong finally handed over her phone, unlocked it, and opened it in front of me.

It was a legitimate part-time platform; the chat revealed nothing unusual.

The recruiter had no profile picture, and the nickname was just a string of default characters.

It was clear that Hong Hong had been quite cautious, asking the other party carefully about the job details, location, time, and possible risks.

But indeed, they had offered too much.

Hong Hong had merely responded that she’d consider it, and they had sent over a third of the payment.

Just that deposit alone was enough for Hong Hong to buy front-row concert tickets to see her idol.

Such a clear-headed yet naive college student!

I clicked on the recruiter's profile and found that they had only posted this one job listing.

I tried calling through the in-app voice call, but no one answered.

As for the customer service and online help, at this hour, they were all automated replies.

Lots of attempts, yielded nothing.

I looked dejectedly at the other two, out of ideas.

"She should be innocent," I said.

Yu Duola looked at me eerily: "You trust her? Honestly, I don't trust any of you!

"Everyone take out their phone, we'll check each other one by one."
