The Hidden Clues

　　The room that came into view was almost exactly the same as everyone else's rooms.

　　Ning searched around the room and finally decided to put the wooden plaque with the character 'Ruan' under Tang's pillow.

　　"Just put one?"

　　"One is enough."

　　Facing Liu's questioning, Ning replied.

　　"The other party is not completely unprepared, if we put too many, it's easy to expose ourselves."

　　Liu was still worried.

　　"Will she die?"

　　Having this item in the room doesn't necessarily mean she will die. 

　　Ning survived the first night.

　　From Ning's description, as long as he lies in bed and doesn't move or make any noise when the ghost appears at night, he will be fine.

　　"Don't worry too much… if she doesn't die tonight, I have other ways."

　　Bai's lazy voice carried a touch of coldness.

　　She put her hands in her pockets, her eyes filled with undisguised killing intent.

　　She had never liked people like Tang, and she would definitely not be soft-hearted.

　　After the three of them finished doing this, they confirmed that they had left no traces and quietly exited the room.

　　Afterwards, they went to the cafeteria to eat dinner.

　　With Bai's analysis, Liu looked at the cafeteria with different eyes, with a sense of scrutiny.

　　He soon discovered that Ning was right, how could a building with this architectural style be a cafeteria, it was clearly a hotel!

　　The villagers of the village specially changed the original hotel into a cafeteria, and changed an empty building that was hardly used into a hotel, their intentions were difficult to fathom.

　　They carried their plates and came to the room they had agreed to meet in at noon. 

　　The atmosphere was still silent.

　　Fortunately, this time, no one was missing.

　　Seeing Ning and the other two walk into the room with their plates, Tang, who was about to pick up some food with her chopsticks, paused, she slightly lifted her eyelids and swept over the three of them with a startled gaze, then quickly returned to normal.

　　"You're finally here. You haven't come back for so long, I thought something had happened to you!"

　　Tang pretended to be relaxed and sighed, her face wore a smile.

　　However, the three of them, who already knew what Tang had done, no matter what, felt that her extremely hypocritical smile was simply disgusting.

　　She pretended to be united and worked together to find a way out, but she secretly betrayed everyone.

　　"Nothing much, just after visiting the Inexhaustible Well, we also took a trip to Fangcun Pond, so we were delayed a little."

　　As soon as Bai finished speaking, the girl sitting to their left hurriedly said:

　　"Now everyone is here, let's exchange clues briefly!"

　　Everyone nodded.

　　"We'll go first. This afternoon we went to Maple Leaf Bridge…"

　　The bespectacled man who spoke began to recount their encounter on Maple Leaf Bridge. 

　　Actually, the 'clues' in their mouths were basically useless surface-level things.

　　However, Tang and the other two still listened very carefully.

　　 After the bespectacled man finished, Tang even pretended to praise him, saying that the clues he provided were very useful, maybe if they integrated the clues from other places, they could find a way out.

　　The three people in the bespectacled man's group all had a look of joy in their eyes, and then they looked at Ning and the other two in unison.

　　"By the way, Ning, did you find anything this afternoon?"

　　"What about the Inexhaustible Well and Fangcun Pond?"

　　Facing the bespectacled man's questioning, Ning calmly recounted their encounter this afternoon, but concealed the fact about the female ghost with the skin. 

　　Fortunately, Bai had a powerful life-saving ghost artifact, otherwise the three of them would have died in that place.

　　He was a great storyteller, like a scholar, even hearing these things from Ning's mouth, everyone could feel how extremely dangerous the situation was at the time!

　　After listening, they realized that their bodies had been soaked in cold sweat!

　　Tang, who was sitting farthest away from Ning, flashed a hint of displeasure in her eyes, but this displeasure was soon replaced by a sinister sneer.

　　"Good luck… but unfortunately, this luck will save you for a while, but it won't save you forever!"

　　Thinking of the 'thing' in their rooms, the corners of Tang's mouth couldn't help but rise.

　　These seven idiots in front of her probably still didn't know that they were being played around by her.

　　It would be too late by the time they found out.

　　With the Shaman's promise and help, she was bound to be the last one alive, not only would she successfully complete the task of the blood gate and leave this place, but she would also receive a ghost artifact bestowed by the blood gate!

　　Thinking of this, Tang was so excited that even her fingers holding the chopsticks trembled slightly, but she quickly steadied her emotions, took a deep breath and said to everyone:

　　"We've already found quite a few clues, but I need some time to think about some things. We'll meet here again for breakfast tomorrow morning, and I will integrate all the clues we've gathered, including Fangcun Pond and Fu'e Temple, for everyone."

　　"Everyone, thank you for your hard work tonight. After dinner, go back to rest early, it's not safe in this village at night!"

　　The other group vaguely felt something was wrong.

　　 Everyone shared their clues tonight, but Tang, the initiator of everything, didn't say a word.

　　They were newcomers, but they weren't stupid.

　　Just as they doubted whether they were being played by Tang, they heard Bai say in a low voice:

　　"Tang, we've all shared our clues, but you're keeping yours hidden… isn't that inappropriate?"

　　"What can be told to us tomorrow morning, can't be told tonight?"

　　As soon as she finished speaking, the bespectacled man immediately adjusted his glasses, timidly agreeing:

　　"Yes!"

　　"Why not share?"

　　"We can all combine our clues together tonight to figure out where the way out is, three heads are better than one, right?"

　　If Bai's words were a fuse, then the bespectacled man's agreement was the spark.

　　Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Tang's face visibly froze.

　　Under the table, she clenched her fists.

　　Damn Bai…

　　She had felt that this woman was not easy to fool as early as noon when she saw that look in Bai's eyes. 

　　She was probably a veteran who had gone through several blood gates.

　　Generally speaking, newcomers in blood gates, although their intelligence is fine, under the strong pressure of ghosts, they don't have that much vigilance towards humans.

　　The terrible environmental pressure makes them easily believe in strangers.

　　Therefore, newcomers are very easy to fool.

　　This is something Tang has tried and tested many times.

　　She has three ghost artifacts, all of which she got by 'taking newcomers with her' and completing the tasks in the first two blood gates with lower difficulty levels.

　　However, this time, it seems she has met a troublesome person.
