"Any ideas?" the fortune teller asked, sitting on the sofa in a relaxed manner.
Did she mean anything by what she said?
Jiang Ting glanced at the expressions of the others and carefully raised her own question.
"There are some possibilities, but at present, I am more inclined to understand it as the ghost inside the platform taking another big step closer to us."
The speaker was Ning Jianwei.
"What do you mean by taking a big step closer to us?" A newcomer asked, her face showing unease, but Ning Jianwei did not answer her question.
"Although the videotape appears to be rewinding, we can still hear the people talking clearly, which means that the problem isn't with the videotape itself, but with the content of the video itself."
The speaker was a special-grade official from Anning City named Shi Yan.
Her tone was weak and listless, and she spoke as if she were unwell.
"If we simply interpret it in reverse, then childbirth is pregnancy. What should have been a delivery procedure has become the process of pregnancy. Now we can understand what she's saying."
"The baby was put in her belly, so she got pregnant."
Shi Yan's voice wasn't loud, and although her speaking speed wasn't slow and her sentences were of normal length for an average person, her voice made people feel a little breathless. Listening to her, you always worried that she wasn't having enough air and that she might need to catch her breath at any moment.
This was the first time a local high-class passenger from Anning City had expressed their opinion.
Lu Jinzhao silently turned his gaze to Shi Yan.
Her face was tired and numb, just like other long-time passengers in Anning City, but her still-bright pupils showed that although she was exhausted, she had not completely lost her will to live.
She was probably struggling, wondering whether she should continue living in this hell.
Leaving this place alive would soon mean facing another platform, a hellish cycle that seemed to have no end in sight. In Anning City today, she saw no hope for survival.
Among the others who came in at the same time as her, she knew that some of them had already resolved to die after realizing that the supernatural phenomena on the platform had spread into the real world.
She didn't want to say much about such thoughts, nor did she want to offer any advice, because she herself was also feeling lost.
"What should we do?" she murmured to herself.
"Prevent her from getting pregnant? Abort the child? Stop watching the videotapes?"
"If watching the videotape represents the gestation of a ghost, then what about burning the videotape?"
"Or, go and kill that woman in room 401 next door?"
"We need to find a way to get into her house and see if the videotape is in her house, or if there's something else going on."
Shi Yan spoke at length in a breathless tone, which sounded exhausting, but the content of his words caught the eyes of the newcomers.
They exchanged a glance and both saw the restless desire in each other's eyes.
They were already terrified when they entered this horrible place, and none of the old people were willing to take them along. In this state of having nothing to do, their fear would only grow faster. Right now, Shi Yan's "talking to himself" gave these headless flies some target.
We'll have to see what exactly we need to do.
After Shi Yan finished speaking, no one in the room spoke again. Everyone seemed to be thinking, but these new recruits who didn't understand didn't realize that Shi Yan's words had already rolled through their minds many times over. Their current silence could only be intentional.
As time ticked by, one of the newcomers finally couldn't help but ask, "Should we do something now?"
Ning Jianwei looked at her: "Do you have any thoughts?"
The man quickly shook his head: "No, no, I was just asking."
She just didn't understand why everyone was sitting here in silence.
Shouldn't we do something? After Ning Jianwei asked her a question, the atmosphere among the newcomers, which had been somewhat bewildered and restless due to the long silence, settled down again. Although they didn't quite understand what was going on, no one wanted to leave the "team" and act alone. They could only sit silently in the room with the others.
Lu Jinzhao looked up at the window. The already dim sunlight was gradually fading. However, since the platform environment was already dark and they were in a room with the lights on, this change was easily overlooked.
But as passengers, these are the things we should least ignore.
After a moment of silence in the room, Lu Kai finally couldn't sit still any longer: "Um, I'll go return the videotape first."
At least he knew he had borrowed the videotape and should return it.
"Not urgent."
Ning Jianwei looked up at him. In the dimly lit room, Lu Kai felt that he had misjudged Ning Jianwei's expression. How could she be so indifferent?
"Isn't there a rush? Is there something you didn't see clearly and need to look at again?"
Lu Kai instinctively felt uneasy, and he became more talkative.
"There is one more necessary thing to do," Ning Jianwei simply said.
The fortune teller nodded: "Ah, if that's the case, it's definitely worth a try."
Jiang Jing stared at the static on the TV screen without saying a word. Lin Lin stood silently beside Lu Jinzhao as always. The elderly people in Anning City just stared at the ground in silence, seemingly uninterested in the conversation, but they didn't say anything.
Lu Jinzhao looked up at Ning Jianwei. Her face showed neither joy nor sorrow, only calmness and determination.
What does Ning Jianwei want to do?
The answer was obvious to these top-tier women.
She wanted to see what would happen if Lu Kai returned the videotape after midnight.
Without a doubt, she was experimenting with Lu Kai's life.
This sounds too cold-blooded, but Lu Jinzhao also thought that Ning Jianwei had stepped into this mess in Anning City on her own initiative.
The fortune teller was driven by a "death calamity" and a desire to protect his mother, but what were Ning Jianwei and Jiang Jing's motivations for risking their lives here?
Lu Jinzhao looked away. She wasn't particularly curious about it. She had a lot to do at this event: protect Lin Lin so she could leave alive, try to find out the truth about the previous generation, and she herself had to leave alive. She really didn't have any extra concern to spare for others.
"It's almost time."
The fortune teller suddenly said.
Lu Kai was clearly a little confused, but he quickly realized that something was wrong.
The videotape, which had been ejected but remained unclaimed, began to leak liquid, which dripped onto the ground.
- bang bang!
At that moment, the door to room 402 was pounded on.
All the passengers are in their rooms, so who can knock on the door from the outside?
—Bang bang bang!
The knocking continued without pause, but the person knocking remained silent.
The videotape contained more and more liquid, which flowed down to the ground in a continuous stream.
Lu Jinzhao suddenly felt a sharp pain in her right hand fingers, just like when she obtained the Ghost Bone and it suddenly burrowed into her finger bones, shattering her original bones.
Her finger bones seemed to be cracking again.
