Chapter 1492: Chapter 907: Strongest Assault_3
This was just a minor episode, quickly forgotten by everyone. After a few casual chats, the atmosphere on site relaxed a lot. Zhou Hai even swiftly made coffee for everyone.
He bought this last night when he passed by a supermarket, Bird’s Nest brand, one cup for each person, warm in their palms, seemingly able to dispel the chill in their hearts.
Everyone exchanged clues, and Yang Xiao’s trio played the recording Munan left behind before he died for everyone to hear. The screams at the last moment made Zhou Hai and Shu Shuang’s faces pale.
The time reached exactly 6 o’clock, and a new list appeared. This time it was 5 people, Liu Yang, Jiang Qingluan, Chen Nang, Shu Shuang, and Yang Xiao.
Unlike Shu Shuang and Liu Yang, the three in Yang Xiao’s team actually felt relieved when they saw their names on the list. In fact, Yang Xiao was most worried that tonight a bunch of useless people would be chosen, wasting the final chance.
But fortunately, their luck wasn’t bad, all three of them were selected.
This time Zhou Hai and Zhang Jianjun became the ones left out, so tonight they could go back and rest.
However, this didn’t mean they could take it easy tonight. Yang Xiao assigned them an important task; they needed to keep watch over the small shop’s owner and get the identity of that Source Ghost from him, no matter what. This was crucial.
"Don’t worry, even if it’s kidnapping, I’ll get all the information out of him," Zhang Jianjun was intuitive, knowing how crucial tonight is for them. He also pinned all hopes on Yang Xiao’s trio, it was a high-stakes gamble.
If all goes well, tonight they will obtain the key clues, solve that Source Ghost during the day tomorrow, and then... they can go home.
Of course, this possibility isn’t very high, but nobody would give up effort and hope.
After Yang Xiao reminded them a few more times, he let the two leave, and those remaining gathered together to start planning for tonight.
"Chu... Chu Xi, I’ll stay with Shu Shuang, we’ll watch the place, so we won’t add to your chaos." Liu Yang proposed proactively.
Actually, Yang Xiao had arranged it like this even if he hadn’t spoken. The situation on the 18th floor was too complicated; bringing them as burdens would only be a hindrance.
If chaos breaks out, just like last night with Yang Yan, there’d be nowhere to cry about it. Inexperienced people are variables tonight that must be eliminated.
But the downside is that they won’t have a Substitute Death; everything will depend on their own capabilities.
"My plan is this: the three of us will set out together. Based on previous experience, one of the three will be targeted by the Hanging Ghost. Whoever is marked must immediately leave the group to handle the Hanging Ghost, and monitor the actions of the Waist-breaking Ghost."
"The remaining two continue forward, but once they reach the core area of Chen’s Strange Film Industry, they must split up. According to Munan’s intelligence, a Door-knocking Ghost that can turn invisible is hiding there; only those holding a DV can be immune to its attack."
"One person goes in with a DV, finds a way to open the door hit by the Ghost, while the other stays outside to respond."
"Inside is a scriptwriting room, and I guess there are many scripts they used for filming there. The person going in must find the script for the East Mountain Machinery Factory and bring it out."
"The script is adapted from real events with high authenticity, through the Ghost Script, we might learn some truths," Yang Xiao speculated.
"Wait, wasn’t that movie never made? Then would there be a script?" Shu Shuang blinked and suddenly asked.
"Scripts come before movies. Without a script, what would they use to film?" Yang Xiao glanced at her, dissatisfied with such a dumb question interrupting him at this time.
"Sorry, I’m too stupid, I don’t understand anything. Tonight... I’ll completely rely on you, Mr. Liu," Shu Shuang looked at Liu Yang with pleading eyes, "Please teach me, I’ll listen to whatever you say."
"Mm, I’ll try my best to help you." Liu Yang put on a good front, but internally he had already planned, based on previous experience, only one person in their office would die tonight, and Shu Shuang was pitifully stupid. He considered her his Substitute Death.
Regardless of success or failure, the mission ends tomorrow, and no one would investigate Shu Shuang’s cause of death. Everyone was too busy for that.
"There’s one more thing, the first person to approach the scriptwriting room might trigger unknown events, which could lead to an accident. If there’s no movement within 15 minutes, the person outside should immediately go in as a replacement; our time is limited, we can’t delay," Yang Xiao said seriously.
"Understood." Jiang Qingluan nodded.
"Got it." Chen Nang also nodded.
This preliminary plan was settled like this, but Yang Xiao knew there’d definitely be unexpected situations tonight, though he could only hope for better luck tonight.
Him, Jiang Qingluan, and Chen Nang, this was already the strongest team they could assemble, if it still didn’t work, then there was no choice but to resign to fate.
It’s said that missions require sufficient strength along with a bit of luck, but in Yang Xiao’s view, sometimes a bit of luck is more important than anything else.
