There was more or less a sense of security that numbers could bring.

Bi Wanhui tried her best to recount what she had encountered in a steady tone.

Tang Luo didn’t say anything. He looked towards Zhou Zhenguo.

Zhou Zhenguo said, “I was intending to continue keeping watch over this fellow. That’s why I didn’t follow them.”

The fellow he spoke of looked as if he didn’t have anything worth living for anymore.

“As for Little Bi’s scream, I didn’t hear it either. I only saw her being dragged into the room. Everyone else was in a panic. That’s when I realized that something wasn’t right.”

Before Tang Luo and Little Chu’s return, Zhou Zhenguo had tried several times to help Bi Wanhui recall what had happened back then. He had considered every possible detail.

“Where’s the corpse?” asked Tang Luo.

“It has disappeared.” Zhou Zhenguo’s brows were furrowed into a deep frown.

He hadn’t paid much attention to the end of the corridor when he came over from next door.

The hotel had electric lights, but it was a far cry from the bright lights of the contemporary age. The lights here could only give off a dim yellowish glow.

The hotel couldn’t possibly switch on all the lights along the corridor in the middle of the night, either.

From outside the room, if one looked towards the toilet at the end of the corridor, all they would see was total darkness.

By the time Zhou Zhenguo went over to take a look, he didn’t even see a hint of bloodstains, much less a corpse.

Speaking of which, this was the same situation as the time when he had discovered Li Liang being murdered and then had gotten people over to take a look.

The only difference was that Li Liang had been asleep inside the toilet.

On the other hand, there was no sign of Cheng Cheng, whether at the scene of the crime in front of the toilet door or inside the toilet. It was as if she had disappeared from the face of the earth.

In such a situation, they couldn’t possibly make the suicidal decision to split up and search for her.

The situation right now was that Cheng Cheng was missing, her status unknown, and that Bi Wanhui had seen her corpse before she had gone missing. Just like how Zhou Zhenguo had seen Li Liang’s corpse the other time.

“Were her guts ripped open?” asked Little Chu.

“I don’t know. I didn’t get a clear look,” replied Bi Wanhui. “I only know that she was sprawled on the ground and that she was bleeding very heavily. At that time, there was a lot of blood on me too.”

“Did you see it?” Little Chu turned to Little Zhou, the high school student.

Little Zhou scratched his head. “It was too dark. I don’t know whether or not I’m mistaken, but there seemed to be bloodstains.”

Bi Wanhui had fainted. Even Li Liang, whose body was hollowed out, had finally come over to help out too.

Together with Little Zhou, they had carried her over to the bed.

During that process, they hadn’t seen, or rather, hadn’t noticed bloodstains on her.

In other words, there were already no longer any bloodstains on Bi Wanhui at that point. Otherwise, they would more or less have an impression of it.

Bi Wanhui yelled in a low voice, “I’m not lying!” All of a sudden, she sort of understood how Zhou Zhenguo must have felt at that time.

“Amitabha. Please don’t be angry, benefactor. Everyone believes you.”

As a monk, Tang Luo naturally needed to step forward to calm her down at such a critical moment. It was just that his trench coat and gentlemanly dressing right now made him look even less of a monk than when he was in his gym suit in the beginning.

The room quietened at once.

Everyone kept quiet, not saying anything.

After a while, Little Chu was still the one who broke the silence. “Let me tell you guys about our discoveries.”

Compared to the bad news in the hotel, his and Tang Luo’s discovery was enough to be considered good news.

“So Big Sister Bi, the conversation that you heard in the beginning, that cleaner might be a member of the Ripper organization too! He’s the murderer!” said Little Chu solemnly and great sincerity after telling them what they had experienced earlier during the night, as well as his deduction.

“How did the corpse and the bloodstains disappear?” asked Zhou Zhenguo.

“This is the worst-case scenario of my deduction.” Little Chu pushed his spectacles and let out a wry chuckle. “Jack the Ripper isn’t just an organization with several people. One of them, no, we should be able to confirm that several of them have special abilities.”

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go! Isn’t this place a bandit’s den!”

Li Liang, whose body had been hollowed out, finally became worked up. It was just a pity that it was for the sake of escaping.

Based on Little Chu’s deduction, that cleaner was a member of the Jack the Ripper organization and probably even possessed special abilities.

Didn’t that mean that they, Employees of Gods and Demons, who were participating in a mission for the very first time and didn’t actually have any combat ability at all, had entered a bandit’s den and delivered themselves straight into the enemies’ hands?

That was a villainous hotel!

“With Master here, there shouldn’t be any problems,” said Little Chu as he gestured to Li Liang to calm down.

He had witnessed Master Xuanzang’s powerful combat ability, where he had turned someone that had been kicking and alive into a headless corpse in just the blink of an eye.

He was even more ferocious than Captain America in the movies. Coupled with the fact that Little Chu had also awakened his powers, or so he thought, he didn’t lack courage and self-confidence at all.

“Even if this place is really a bandit’s den, this monk can still bring up the rear if we run into danger.” Tang Luo nodded slightly, his hand held upright in front of his chest.

Little Chu commented with a laugh, “Master, it feels so strange seeing you doing this action when you’re dressed like this.”

Tang Luo was noncommittal in response.

Obviously, he had already made up his mind to maintain his image of an eminent monk to the very end in this Game of Gods And Demons.

After all, he was a man who had originally been appointed as a Buddha.

As for the reason?

It was, of course, for the purpose of gaining people’s trust, helping others and punishing evil and advocating good more easily, so that he could gain more power of virtuous merits to treat his injuries.
