Now, it was time for his misfortune.

At this moment, the waiter in front of him seemed on the verge of tears. He pleaded with Zhou Yingting, "Look, maybe you should get someone else."

"See, how about that woman at the front desk over there? She will do anything as long as you ask."

Saying this, he was continuously begging Zhou Yingting.

Obviously, he knew what would happen when the elevator button was pressed.

Zhou Yingting sneered, "Hmm, if you're fine, I'll replace you with someone else tomorrow. If something happens to you, I will still replace you with someone else tomorrow. In any case, after today, there will always be a replacement, so don't worry."

The distant receptionist was stunned upon hearing Zhou Yingting's words, and then her expression changed unexpectedly.

Initially, they despised the guy for pushing them out like this.

Having been chosen themselves, if they were to die, they would prefer to go alone; why involve others in their mind?

However, upon seeing Zhou Yingting refuse, they heaved a sigh of relief, only to hear him say they would be chosen tomorrow.

This made their hearts skip a beat.

If it was them, they would surely die!

This hotel isn't supposed to target these people; why is it suddenly targeting them?

Thinking of this, panic surged in their hearts.

Zhou Yingting, at this moment, paid no mind to the front desk staff, deciding to spare these people for now and have them operate the elevator tomorrow.

"Alright, get in quickly."

Zhou Yingting urged the waiter in front of him to enter the elevator.

Probably unable to disobey Zhou Yingting's command, the waiter could only brace himself and step into the elevator.

Once everyone was inside the elevator, Zhang Yi and others pressed the elevator button, then all focused their gaze on the waiter.

The waiter looked at the panel on the elevator, his expression full of conflict.

"Hurry up, I'm in a rush."

Seeing the other's reluctance to move, Zhou Yingting stood behind him and spoke.

As if hearing something frightening, the waiter trembled and reluctantly pressed the elevator button.

With the press, the elevator chimed and closed, subsequently ascending slowly.

It seemed like nothing was happening.

But the waiter at the front grew increasingly tense at this time.

A moment later, the elevator finally reached the fourth floor.

As the elevator doors slowly opened, a pitch-black corridor appeared before them.

Witnessing this, everyone paused for a moment, their expressions tensing.

Could it be? They didn't press the fourth-floor button; could something still go wrong inside?

This couldn't be possible.

As everyone stared into the completely dark corridor, a sense of fear gripped their hearts.

The next moment, a pair of pale hands suddenly extended from the pitch-black corridor, grabbing the waiter and dragging him into the darkness.

A dark mist sprouted from the waiter's body as he tried to fight back against the hands.

But the moment the mist touched the hands, it disappeared.

Soon after, the waiter vanished amidst screams.

Following the disappearance of the waiter, the scene outside returned to normal.

Zhou Yingting glanced outside. It appeared to be the original fourth-floor environment now, and the once-black corridor vanished.

"Seems like it's okay now?"

Qiao Peimu looked outside and then spoke.

Zhou Yingting, seeing this, frowned and thought for a moment before stepping outside.

"Hey, isn't it dangerous for you to go out like this?"

Qiao Peimu tried to stop Zhou Yingting, but Zhou Yingting waved his hand, as he had already seen an acquaintance outside.

"You all go back first."

Zhou Yingting said and then left the elevator.

Seeing Zhou Yingting leave the elevator unscathed, Qiao Peimu and the others relaxed.

Meanwhile, the elevator doors closed once again.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Yingting approached a woman in a cheongsam and a mysterious air.

The mysterious woman, upon seeing Zhou Yingting, opened her mouth wide.

Initially, she was waiting at the emergency exit for Zhou Yingting, but hearing the commotion at the elevator, she instinctively came over to take a look.

Unexpectedly, by taking just a glance, she saw Zhou Yingting.

Watching him emerge from the elevator, she felt her mind going blank.

How could Zhou Yingting possibly emerge from the elevator? How was this possible?

Could someone have helped Zhou Yingting by pressing the elevator?

But how could that be, knowing that an agreement had already been reached among the eerie figures on the fourth floor not to help press the elevator for Zhou Yingting lightly.

Yet, Zhou Yingting indeed came out of the elevator again.

Previously, Zhou Yingting could ask for assistance from eerie figures by offering some compensation to press the elevator for him.

But... with Zhou Yingting almost dying now, how could he accomplish it?

"Who helped you press the elevator?"

The eerie woman glared at Zhou Yingting, asking through gritted teeth.

They were about to solve Zhou Yingting soon; it was harvest time. Who was the imprudent one helping Zhou Yingting press the elevator?

If she knew, she would surely give them a piece of her mind.

Hearing this, if not for the rule that didn't allow him not to answer, Zhou Yingting would have just left.

Thinking about this, Zhou Yingting glanced at her and then said.

"The hotel waiter helped press it."

"Impossible!"

No sooner had Zhou Yingting answered than the eerie woman instinctively blurted out.

"How can the hotel staff possibly press the elevator for you!"

Understand, no one can command them in this hotel, let alone Zhou Yingting.

In this hotel, if talking about hierarchy, visitors like Zhou Yingting are at the bottom, while the staff are relatively higher.

Under such circumstances, how could the staff help Zhou Yingting press the elevator? How is that possible!

Zhou Yingting responded indifferently, "Whether you believe it or not is your business."

Having said that, Zhou Yingting took a glance and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll go now."

The eerie woman, upon hearing this, glanced at Zhou Yingting still unconvinced.

Just, she couldn't see any sign of lying on Zhou Yingting's face.

Could it be that Zhou Yingting was telling the truth, but how could that be?

Pressing the fourth-floor button meant certain death, even for the hotel staff.

"Fine, whatever."

At this moment, watching Zhou Yingting, she didn't know what to say for now and could only grudgingly turn away to let him go.

After Zhou Yingting left, she considered for a moment and pressed the elevator button to go to the first floor.

Zhou Yingting said he had a hotel staff press the elevator for him?

If that's the case, then a hotel staff member should've died already. She only needed to go check if any staff were missing, and that would prove it.

If all staff were still there, it would mean Zhou Yingting was lying, and someone had actually pressed the elevator for him.

But earlier, while she was on the fourth floor, she heard no commotion of anyone pressing the elevator for him.

Thus, she felt the likelihood of Zhou Yingting telling the truth was higher.

If someone on the fourth floor helped press the elevator, she should have heard some noise.

Thinking about this, she hastily reached the first floor and soon found a wall covered with photos.

On this wall were pictures of the staff. If any staff member had died, their photo would be removed.

As her gaze settled on the photos, she noticed that one photo was missing.

Seeing this, her pupils shrunk dramatically.
