"Maybe it's because you're asking the wrong people."

Zhou Yingting casually replied and then led the two toward the direction where Song Qingyun was gathering information.

Lin Yuxin felt slightly puzzled upon hearing Zhou Yingting's words.

Was it because they were asking the wrong people?

At this moment, Zhou Yingting didn't intend to say more. After searching with the two for a while, he quickly saw Song Qingyun.

The two were still inquiring, and seeing Zhou Yingting brought other people along, they were slightly stunned.

"So, did you find out anything?"

Without waiting for the other side to ask, Zhou Yingting took the lead in asking.

Song Qingyun shook his head upon hearing this and then looked at Zhou Yingting with a puzzled expression, "Why did you come looking for us?"

"Well, it's because last night I was too scared to go to the bathroom and held it in until now. I'm a bit worried to let them go together, so could you help watch over them while I go to the bathroom."

Zhou Yingting told a little lie, asking Song Qingyun to help watch these two.

It seemed like Zhou Yingting was worried about the safety of the two women.

Listening to Zhou Yingting's words, Song Qingyun didn't have much doubt. The bathroom upstairs in the apartment indeed made people afraid to use it.

"Alright, why don't I go with you?"

Zhou Yingting shook his hand, "No need, I'm just going outside to use the bathroom. It's broad daylight; nothing can happen. I'll come back to find you later, try to gather more information."

After saying this, Zhou Yingting turned and left.

On hearing these words, Song Qingyun hesitated briefly, but ultimately let Zhou Yingting go alone.

After all, it was broad daylight, and being outside should be safe.

Thinking this, he watched Zhou Yingting leave along with the three and prepared to continue searching for clues.

At this moment, Song Qianqian suddenly spoke up.

"There might be something off with Zhou Yingting."

Seeing Zhou Yingting leave, Song Qianqian suddenly spoke nervously.

"Hmm? What did you say?"

Upon hearing this, the few people nearby were immediately stunned, then looked at her with suspicious eyes.

"This is something I just found out. If the faucet in the apartment is left on at night, you may become possessed by a ghost!"

Song Qianqian, confirmed that Zhou Yingting was already out of sight, spoke nervously.

Song Qingyun was taken aback by her words, staring fixedly at her. "What did you say? Is what you said true?"

Song Qianqian nodded seriously, "I've asked around. Those who stay in this apartment, if they don't turn off the faucet, end up being possessed by ghosts and then harm their friends and family."

Lin Yuxin, listening to this, felt a strange chill rising in her heart.

Since last night, she started doubting her best friend. But now her best friend is suspecting Zhou Yingting.

But the problem is, she only suspects her best friend; there's no solid evidence.

If her best friend is possessed by a ghost, then is she intentionally trying to harm Zhou Yingting?

But if her best friend isn't a problem, doesn't it mean Zhou Yingting is?

But her best friend's issues seem bigger, comparatively speaking, she is more willing to believe Zhou Yingting is alright.

"We just found out about this ourselves."

While Lin Yuxin was thinking about informing Song Qingyun about last night's events to keep an eye out, newcomer Gan Xinyang suddenly spoke.

Lin Yuxin was caught by surprise by this statement.

"What do you mean?"

Assured that her best friend is framing Zhou Yingting, Lin Yuxin now looked in disbelief and glared at Gan Xinyang.

"We just found this piece of information. In the apartment, one of the easiest conditions for possession is the faucet being left on."

Gan Xinyang spoke seriously, and Song Qingyun also didn't refute it.

How could it be?

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuxin felt a chill at her core.

According to the information, Zhou Yingting can't be trusted?

If Zhou Yingting is problematic, does this mean her best friend is not?

No, who says there's only one ghost, what if there are two....

So she suspects her best friend; didn't the other person realize that?

No, no, if her best friend has problems, they wouldn't suspect Zhou Yingting; it doesn't make sense.

Lin Yuxin's thoughts were now chaotic, unable to discern anything.

Seeing this, Song Qingyun's heart sank slightly, and he immediately said, "Everyone, let's not jump to conclusions, this is just information we've gathered, we can't be sure if anyone has a problem."

"Alright, let's keep looking for clues."

Song Qingyun raised his hand, signaling everyone to stop talking.

The few people heard the words and stopped talking, but the atmosphere noticeably became somber.

....

"Excuse me, do you know of a very skilled master from before?"

"Yes, yes, the master who went to Apartment No. 9."

At a corner of the street, Zhou Yingting gritted his teeth and pulled out fifty Blood Gold, handed it to the person, and then immediately proceeded to the place indicated by the person.

Contrary to what Zhou Yingting expected, the master's location wasn't in a temple or a Daoist temple but rather in an ordinary home.

When Zhou Yingting arrived, he found the house was already empty.

This was consistent with the previously gathered information, which said that the master and his disciple were both dead.

Seizing the opportunity while no one was around, Zhou Yingting quietly sneaked into the master's house, hoping to find any clues inside.

It seemed that no one had lived there for a long time; the interior was full of dust. The two-story house had wooden floors that creaked when stepped on, creating an eerie feeling.

The sun outside was completely blocked out, leaving the inside dim.

Zhou Yingting searched the first floor but didn't find anything useful, but upon reaching the second floor, he discovered a box placed in the center of the house.

Seeing the box piqued Zhou Yingting's interest, he hastened toward it.

However, at that moment, the bathroom on the second floor suddenly emitted a dripping sound, catching him off guard as if the sound reverberated inside his mind.

"Take the items and leave first."

Hearing the sound, Zhou Yingting quickly realized that something had followed him.

Thinking this, he immediately reached out for the box intending to leave the place first.

Suddenly, the surroundings went black as if something had enveloped the house, making it hard to see anything around.

Faintly, the dripping sound echoed beside Zhou Yingting.
