"I'm not sure," Wan Zuo replied, explaining, "After all, I feel the reason I was unsealed should be twofold. Firstly, you only became the ghost player after I found my target. Secondly, you who replaced me also found your target."
After a pause, Wan Zuo added, "But Shen Rong did not find her target."
Tong Zheng gave a cold laugh and said, "If we aren't unsealed, all the better, lest it interfere with our actions."
Wan Zuo nodded in agreement. "Let's go, first let's find Ke Wuwen and Miss Youmi."
The two found Ke Wuwen in the grand theater on the fifth floor. When they saw him, the child was sitting directly below the main stage, looking up at it, muttering something to himself.
Tong Zheng did not call out to Ke Wuwen immediately. After all, if Ke Wuwen saw him, he would be frozen in place instantly.
Wan Zuo watched as Tong Zheng walked behind Ke Wuwen and gently patted his shoulder. After Ke Wuwen turned around, Tong Zheng could no longer move.
"Brother Tong!" Ke Wuwen shrieked. "How did you get here? You can't move? Are you a ghost player? Then did you..."
To avoid letting this brat waste more time, Tong Zheng immediately interrupted him, "I've found the remains, they are somewhere else. Wan Zuo is at the door. Go find him now, he'll tell you what to do. Hurry."
Upon hearing that Tong Zheng had found the remains, Ke Wuwen stopped asking questions. He also saw Wan Zuo standing at the door. Although he didn't know what had happened, he knew that what Tong Zheng asked him to do was definitely not wrong.
"Okay, Brother Tong, I'll go right away."
With that, he ran to the door to find Wan Zuo.
This time, they had a clear objective. As Wan Zuo led Ke Wuwen towards the arcade on the sixth floor, he explained, "Shen Rong was the initial ghost player for this game of hide-and-seek. She replaced me. I found the remains on the first floor restaurant, and then found Tong Zheng. He also found the remains in the chess and card room on the sixth floor. After he found the remains, I was unsealed. Now that we've found you, you need to find the remains as quickly as possible, so Tong Zheng can be unsealed."
Wan Zuo spoke quickly, but Ke Wuwen still understood. In order to get Tong Zheng unsealed quickly, he sped up towards the place that had almost cost him his life last time.
When he reached the arcade, Ke Wuwen suddenly stopped and turned to ask Wan Zuo, "What about Sister Youmi? After I find the remains, do I need to find Sister Youmi? Does she have enough time to find the remains? Does she have a clear target? I'll give this place to Sister Youmi. We'll look somewhere else first, and if we can't find it by the end, we'll come back. We can only let Sister Youmi look in the next game of hide-and-seek. What if I find it, and then I go to find Sister Youmi, and if she can't find the remains, won't that be dangerous?"
"No," Wan Zuo said. "Haven't you noticed? I can follow you. That means the three of us can help Miss Youmi."
"Right!" Ke Wuwen exclaimed belatedly. "Idol and Brother Chi were both asked to return to their rooms, why can you move freely?"
"Perhaps it's because they were the winners of the last hide-and-seek game. Alright, hurry inside and complete the mission, then go find Miss Youmi."
"Oh, okay."
Although Ke Wuwen didn't fully understand, Wan Zuo's determined gaze made him feel that he absolutely could not waste any more time.
Ke Wuwen ran into the arcade, to the basketball machine that had almost killed him before, at the fastest speed and successfully found the child's remains.
The two saw the unsealed Tong Zheng at the staircase entrance from the fifth to the sixth floor.
Ke Wuwen ran to Tong Zheng. "Brother Tong, I found the remains. Should we go find Sister Youmi now? There are only twenty-something minutes left until the hide-and-seek game ends. Will it be too tight?"
As soon as Ke Wuwen finished speaking, he suddenly froze in place, his eyes full of astonishment.
They had no other choice.
Seeing Ke Wuwen's reaction, Tong Zheng turned to look in the direction he was staring. He saw Youmi looking at them with surprise and confusion.
"You... why are you all here?"
As soon as Youmi finished speaking, she saw words appearing in the air before her eyes, and then heard Ke Wuwen's shout, "Sister Youmi, you've been replaced by me as the ghost player. Hurry and find the remains. Brother Tong, Brother Wan Zuo, you help Sister Youmi find the remains, don't mind me."
Youmi's sudden appearance left them with no more time or opportunity to hesitate. Tong Zheng and Wan Zuo exchanged a look and immediately stepped forward to tell Youmi about their previous experiences and guesses.
The three of them walked and talked.
After Wan Zuo and Tong Zheng finished speaking, Youmi smiled slightly. "You don't need to be nervous. I have a target. I was actually planning to come up and find one of you to discuss it with."
"Is that so?" Wan Zuo said with relief. "That's great."
"By the way, Youmi," Tong Zheng suddenly asked, "Where did you come up from?"
Youmi replied, "The first floor."
"Didn't you encounter Shen Rong?"
Wan Zuo immediately followed up with Shen Rong's location. Youmi shook her head. "I came up from another direction. Should we go find her?"
"No," Tong Zheng denied. "Let's find the remains first, time is running out. Youmi, where is your target?"
Youmi did not ask any more questions, only replying, "The bar on the first floor."
"Okay."
The three of them deliberately avoided the area where Shen Rong was located and quickly arrived at the bar on the first floor.
The bar was on the other side of the restaurant. Although it was on the first floor of the cruise ship, it itself had two levels.
After entering the bar, Youmi went straight to the second floor, saying to Tong Zheng and Wan Zuo as she walked, "There's a semicircular bar on the second floor that's very strange. Its color and position are different from the two similar bars next to it."
Upon hearing this, Wan Zuo couldn't help but praise, "Miss Youmi is indeed a meticulous person."
When they reached the bar, Tong Zheng and Wan Zuo stopped simultaneously.
Youmi understood, walked behind the bar alone, took a deep breath, squatted down, and peered inside.
Tong Zheng nervously looked at Youmi, then at the time, feeling his heart pounding as if it would jump out of his throat.
It turned out that watching a friend teeter on the brink of life and death was more nerve-wracking than when it was himself.
"Found it!" Youmi's excited voice came from behind the bar.
After hearing these three words, Tong Zheng and Wan Zuo both let out a heavy sigh of relief.
Tong Zheng quickly turned and pulled down a cloth half-hanging on the bar nearby, handing it to Youmi. "Just wrap them in this and take them out."
"There's still more than ten minutes, no need to be nervous," Wan Zuo said as he stepped forward.
After Youmi took out the remains, Wan Zuo hesitated and asked, "It seems like there's only one last set of remains left, right?"
"Yes," Tong Zheng understood Wan Zuo's intention. "You want to go look for it? And then tell Shen Rong the location?"
