Chapter 12: - Check-in Assignments

Chen Lu slammed the door hard, but in vain, only his shoulders hurt.

He had opened his mouth to warn Hitomi before because he had seen a female ghost dressed in white in the room – Gamecock….

I’m afraid it’s bad luck for Hitomi to stay in the same room with gamecock.

And…….

“He, how else can he check in?”

Chen Lu was confused by this hand, not to mention signing in to the mission right now.

Chen Lu scratched his hair, right now Hitomi was trapped in the room and was definitely more vicious. She couldn’t break in with brute force, so she could only use ghost eyes.

Although the Ghost Eyes had great side effects, if they were not used again, Hitomi would have to die in the room.

Chen Lu resolutely mobilized the Ghost Eye, and was about to use it to break into the door when a phone alarm rang.

Looking back, it was the landline placed right in the middle of the living room table that was constantly ringing.

Chen Lu stared at the landline, his head conjuring up the scene from the original plot.

Hitomi was the one who answered the call, and then saw her colleague from the cat’s eye, resulting in a ghost story about opening the door to an empty room, but now it was Chen Lu’s turn to go through these ghost stories.

So to answer, or not to answer?

After a slight hesitation, Chen Lu still planned to answer the phone.

After all, in the original plot, answering the phone wasn’t a very dangerous act, it was just the beginning of the apartment incident.

Moreover, he was worried that a drastic change in the plot would lead to bad consequences, so some less dangerous behaviour should be followed.

After making up his mind, Chen Lu picked up this phone and pressed the answer button.

“Hello…. Hello! Chan Lu, can you hear me?”

Chen Lu was stunned, the call was unexpected because it was from Hitomi.

Chen Lu looked towards the direction of the room, was it Hitomi who had dialled from her cell phone?

Without thinking carefully, Chen Lu quickly replied, “Are you in the room right now? How’s it going?”

“Chen Lu…. Quickly save me!”

“I saw that awful security guard again!”

There was a sharp gasp from Hitomi, who seemed to be running at top speed, and there was indeed the sound of a ghost security guard hissing on the other end of the phone.

“Aren’t you in your room? I’ll save you!”

Chen Lu immediately pursued the question, and Hitomi on the other end of the phone answered breathlessly, seemingly exhausted, “I’m at home…. Open the door quickly!”

At the same time, the living room door was pounded hard.

“Knock, knock, knock!”

“Open the door… Open the door!”

Hitomi’s voice came from the other side of the door, and Chen Lu rushed to the door and looked through the cat’s eyes to see Hitomi’s anxious and frightened face outside.

“Help me, Chen Lu-san!”

Just as Hitomi said, slowly out of the stairwell behind her stepped the ghost guard, the ghost guard and the same baton that he had been holding at the beginning, smirking and gradually approaching Hitomi, they were only a few steps away!

Watching the ghost security speed up, Chen Lu finally couldn’t hold back any longer and slammed open the door!

“Chen Lu…”

Hitomi’s voice ended abruptly the moment Chen Lu opened the door.

A cool breeze blew through, and Chen Lu looked at the scene outside the door with a pale face.

There was no Hitomi, and there was no ghost security guard.

There was no one outside the door.

Chen Lu smiled coldly and immediately closed the door. What happened just now was not much different from what happened in the original plot. Chen Lu should have noticed it, but he was still deceived.

The action of opening the door was inferred in many discussions to be an action of “letting ghosts into the door”.

Wait…….. Gamecock was already in the house, so who did he let in?

Chen Lu shook his head and threw away all the thoughts in his head.

It’s not the time to scare. It’s probably just a pure ghost’s prank. After all, how can a ghost’s behaviour be guessed?

“Crack.”

Chen Lu had just calmed down, but the door to the room revealed another crack, apparently accessible.

Chen Lu’s palms were sweating coldly, his eyes changing back to calm from the rise and fall he had just experienced.

The door had just been closed tightly and would not open, but now it was possible to enter and exit at will?

What’s the game?

Now that the door was open, it meant that Chen Lu could now go in and sign in, and even though the other side of the door was full of unknown dangers, Chen Lu was exceptionally determined.

The check-in was definitely going to be completed.

Because the sign-in has been guiding Chen Lu to intervene in the plot, can it be argued in the opposite direction that as long as all the sign-in is completed, he can leave the world of grievance?

This was highly probable, and as long as it was possible, Chen Lu had to try it.

Chen Lu gripped the handle and slowly pushed open the door.

“Hitomi?”

Chen Lu called out softly, then stepped into the room.

[Reaching Hitomi’s room and starting the check-in mission]

[Sign-in task: Hitomi seems to be troubled by the curse, try to confirm where the boarding curse is. 】

After reading the message on his phone, Chen Lu put the phone away and looked at the bulging blanket.

“Chen Lu…. Is that you?”

The quilt slowly drilled out Hitomi’s head, Hitomi’s hair was scattered, her eyes were scattered, and she was very scared. Half of her body was hidden in the quilt, and her voice trembled and said:

“Chan Lu San… I’m so scared, I just hid in the toilet and then the toilet shower suddenly started to flush and then a pair of hands climbed on my head, I was so scared that I rushed out and hid under the covers and turned on the TV and then a ghostly female face appeared on the TV!”

Hitomi looked at Chen Lu, tears and snot mixed together, looking much more terrifying than a ghost.

“Don’t worry…. I’m here to protect you.”

Chen Lu was verbally comforted, but his body couldn’t help but move away from the blanket Hitomi was under the blanket.

Hitomi was a ghost.

Before entering the room, Chen Lu guessed that Hitomi had been killed, but now she is fine and Chen Lu thought that Hitomi might be a ghost.

Even more definite thoughts were Hitomi’s current state and the flaws in her words.

Firstly, a terrified ordinary person’s body would definitely tremble constantly, but the blanket holding Hitomi didn’t tremble at all, it was as immobile as a small mountain.

Secondly, even though Hitomi entering the bathroom to take a shower was in the original plot, how could she hide in the bathroom when Chen Lu’s intervention had already revealed that there was a ghost in her house and her first encounter with a ghost was also in the bathroom?

With both extrapolations, Chen Lu confirmed that Hitomi was a ghost.

Chen Lu turned back to look at the open door, that Chen Lu can leave the room at any time.

But damn it, Chen Lu has one more check-in mission, he has to keep Hitomi safe and find out where the curse is before she realizes she is exposed.

Chen Lu began to search everywhere, and his strange behaviour also aroused Hitomi’s suspicion.

“Chen Lu-san…. What are you doing?”

“Me? I’m looking for a ghost!”

Chen Lu replied casually, and then continued to search for the items in the room.

Although there were many items in the room, none of them seemed to be the location of the curse.

Chen Lu began to think again about where the curse might have resided, Hitomi’s demon-crashing started at the office, so it was most likely on an intimate item.

So it was clothing? Jewelry? Or was it…?

Chen Lu brightened up and looked at the phone on the top of the cabinet.

“Chen Lu San…. Are you planning to get rid of the ghost?”

“Then, you go into the toilet and take a look, those hands were sticking out of the toilet before.”

Chen Lu looked at Hitomi like she was retarded and thought to himself, this ghost is too innocent, how could I take the bait when it’s so obvious!

Chen Lu shook his head decisively while looking at Hitomi with a determined look.

“No…. Hitomi, the ghost doesn’t exist in the toilet, but in your side, the reason why she appeared in the toilet is just because you went in the toilet.”

“Oh…. Is that so?”

Hitomi was speechless for a moment, but she actually choked on Chen Lu….

“And I suspect that the ghost is the one boarding your personal belongings!”

Chen Lu pointed at Hitomi’s phone.

“Now, like this, for example.”
