"What's she carrying?" Princess Yao Yao whispered.
Qin Nuo didn't answer.
Black Rose walked straight to the door of room 304 and knocked.
An old lady with a hunched back opened the door, holding a small ghost with dull gray skin.
"Grandma Li, I found the toys your grandson lost." Black Rose's frosty face melted into a sweet smile, like a friendly girl next door.
"Thank you so much, dear. It's rare to see such a kind-hearted girl like you."
"Xiao Yuan, aren't you going to thank your sister?"
The little ghost, holding his beloved toys, danced with joy. "Thank you, sister. You're so nice."
"Be good, and don't be so naughty next time, throwing things around."
After the door closed, Black Rose's smile vanished, her face returning to its cold demeanor, like a face-changing act in a Beijing opera.
Qin Nuo glanced at Princess Yao Yao. "Learn from her; that's how you complete a task."
Princess Yao Yao pursed her lips, saying nothing.
Black Rose approached, scrutinizing Qin Nuo. "I heard you completed a task for the landlord?"
Qin Nuo checked the time. "I'm on my second one now."
"How about a deal? Win another game from the landlord and get something back for me. Name your price." Black Rose, evidently informed by Cobra, crossed her arms and pushed out her chest.
"Not interested. Money doesn't appeal to me."
Qin Nuo shook his head without hesitation.
"Think about it. If it doesn't work out, I'll come to your room tonight for a proper chat?" Black Rose suddenly flashed a seductive smile, alluring.
You had to admit, this woman was a master at changing faces.
"What for? To mooch a meal? I'm broke." Qin Nuo spread his hands.
Black Rose's face darkened, then she smiled calmly. "Since you're not interested, forget it. I wasn't that keen anyway."
With that, she turned and left.
Princess Yao Yao stuck out her tongue, muttering, "Such a flirt."
"Fing hell! Lost everything again, damn it!"
"That damn woman must be hiding money. If I find it, she won't get away with it!"
The cursing voice echoed from the hallway; the scumbag ghost from 403 was back, filled with malice and seething anger.
Black Rose glanced at him.
The scumbag ghost noticed Black Rose too, his gaze lingering on her alluring figure, a lewd grin on his grotesque face. "Nice-looking chick, which room are you in?"
Black Rose's eyes glinted coldly, showing disgust, and she walked away without a word.
The wife emerged, covered in blood, unsure if it was hers or her husband's.
She looked at Qin Nuo, asking softly, "How did it go?"
"It was a bit challenging."
"I'll think of something else," Qin Nuo said, noticing the knife in the wife's hand, guessing she had dealt with her husband again.
But clearly, it was all in vain.
Returning to his room, exhausted and reeking, Qin Nuo decided to take a shower.
After washing his face, Qin Nuo asked, "What happened earlier?"
"That was an Obsession Ghost," the Blood-Eyed Ghost replied.
"The harder you push, the less likely it is to work."
"What's an Obsession Ghost?" Qin Nuo asked.
"When it died, it had immense fear of room 301, becoming a vengeful ghost. That fear turned into an obsession."
"Room 301 is its obsession zone. Forcing it will only increase its resistance."
"Unless you can make it enter room 301 on its own!"
Qin Nuo pondered.
"You can't handle this task, give it up."
"Not necessarily."
Qin Nuo responded, though it was indeed a headache.
After his shower, Qin Nuo emerged from his room.
Leaning back in his chair, he continued to think.
Moments later, an idea struck him, and Qin Nuo opened the system toolbar.
Suddenly, Qin Nuo's eyes lit up with a plan.
Getting dressed, Qin Nuo prepared to leave.
"Where are you going?" the Blood-Eyed Ghost asked.
"To continue the task, of course."
"Just to be clear, if you need my help again, it'll cost you," the Blood-Eyed Ghost said, licking its lips.
"I won't need you."
"Tonight, you just watch the show."
Qin Nuo smiled slightly, then left the room.
After leaving room 404, Qin Nuo didn't notice that the door to 403 also opened, a pair of eyes filled with resentment watching him leave...
