Chapter 17

Zhen Yi returned to Ecstasy once again. In the daylight, the area looked desolate, dilapidated, and even ugly. The brilliant buildings from the night before had lost their neon lights, appearing as if its flesh and blood had been stripped away, leaving only the aged bones of steel or plastic. The streets were deserted, not a single person in sight. Inside was dark, even with the lights on, it felt cold and gloomy. Wearing the club's staff uniform, Zhen Yi went unnoticed by the few staff members preparing for the evening as she made her way through. She found the administrative office and, since it was the afternoon, no one was on duty. She started searching through cabinets. If reasoning was similar to conducting experiments, she needed to find the most objective evidence. Before coming, she had convinced Si Gui with her analysis.

Early in the morning, passing by Zhen Yi's room, she saw that Zhen Yi had already finished grooming and was getting dressed  in front of the mirror. Yang Zi leaned against the doorframe and asked, "So early, where are you off to?" "Investigating the case," Zhen Yi replied briefly. Yan Ge noticed that the hospital registration form stated that Wu Zhe's sister was the one who admitted him, but her contact information had not been provided. Additionally, in Wu Zhe's luggage, there was  a tablet containing a horror movie titled "Screams of Horror," starring Song Yi. The eeriest part of it all was the fact that there was a scene in the movie that had Song Yi falling from the rooftop onto a sharp edge on the 31st floor, with the same empty wall, dark hole, and black numbers. Yan Ge mentioned that this was one of the reasons the
