Wen Xishu confidently looked at Zhang Qiang.
His words were firm and resonant, Zhang Qiang said:
"You can act tough all you want, but you better know, if we let the damn ghost in! What's going to happen!"
Wen Xishu said:
"It's hard to say if the person outside is human or ghost, even if it's a ghost, Mr. Zhang, doesn't this ghost specifically name you? Don't you think even if the ghost comes in, he's only looking for you?"
"As the Ghost Festival approaches, vengeful spirits claim lives, Mr. Zhang, what exactly did you do at the dock?"
Chen Ming also joined Wen Xishu at this moment:
"If you've done nothing shameful, you don't fear ghost's knock at the door, Mr. Zhang, why don't you tell us what happened to you at the dock."
Zhang Qiang cursed under his breath:
"Damn it, we're running out of time. I had an informant at the dock, but he betrayed us, gave us false information, and in return, I exposed his identity through other means, so that night he was dealt with at the dock."
Zhang Qiang said:
"There were no living people at the dock, those guys outside... must be ghosts."
As soon as Zhang Qiang finished speaking, someone outside said:
"Don't listen to him, this bastard, he's not a cop, what damn informant, he's the real informant! Zhang Qiang, I'm still alive! You must have thought I was dead! I tell you, I'm not dead!"
The person outside was frantically knocking on the door, even kicking it. Such behavior really didn't seem like something a ghost would do.
Wen Xishu didn't believe Zhang Qiang's words.
In fact, now everyone's gaze towards Zhang Qiang was odd.
As if looking at a fake policeman.
"I think we should let him in..." said the doctor, Chen Ming.
Chen Ming drank the blue liquor without hesitation. Unlike the red liquor, when drinking the blue one...
His pupils didn't change at all, but the hallucinations in his mind were no longer tormenting, instead, he saw some beautiful past events.
Zhang Qiang was furious, he directly drew his gun:
"Drink! All of you drink the red one!"
Wen Xishu said:
"There might be a ghost outside, but he can't get in. However, tonight is the Ghost Festival, let me guess, if you say you've killed me here... would I turn into a ghost?"
"You should know, there's already a ghost in the bar."
In terms of intimidation, Wen Xishu wasn't afraid.
The challenge level of Deceit Tower had increased, he wasn't necessarily a match for the ghost...
But if facing a human, Wen Xishu could also bet that the opponent's gun was unloaded.
Sure enough, this statement made Zhang Qiang a bit scared.
After all, everyone had already seen a real ghost.
Wen Xishu was actually quite curious about what would happen next.
Dr. Chen Ming had already drunk the blue liquor, and Zhang Qiang had drunk the red liquor.
This round was destined not to be unified.
New rules were about to be unlocked.
Wen Xishu unhurriedly drank the blue liquor.
He saw Little Tong and Little Xing living happily, saw Tang Rui finally showing a smile in life, saw Jack and Jennifer walking out of the old building together, and also saw the An Family Brothers starting a new life together after leaving Jicheng...
The immense happiness made him unable to resist taking another sip.
Wen Xishu was sensitive to happiness and beautiful things.
He was used to oppressive environments, used to being targeted by adversity.
Suddenly seeing so many joyful scenes, he felt something was off.
The next second, he thought of something strange:
"This blue liquor... can it be addictive?"
Wen Xishu felt a little scared.
This drink allowed people to temporarily escape the environment's influence, forcibly seeing beautiful things.
This was unfair.
Just from drinking, once someone tasted the blue liquor, they wouldn't want to drink the red one.
In this way, perhaps everyone would be inclined to... choose to let him in.
The final vote came quickly.
Wen Xishu, Chen Ming, Ah Fei, cast their votes.
Xiaoya, Old Zhou, Li Wei, Zhang Qiang, opposed.
Four to three.
The phonograph made a sound again, after the usual opera singing ended...
It began broadcasting a new rule:
"Next, a new rule is updated, when a vote is divided with approval and opposition—"
"The thing outside, will be forcibly invited in. As for what will happen, you must explore yourselves."
The heavy oak door made a teeth-grinding creaking sound.
It actually opened on its own.
At this moment, a faceless, water-soaked 'thing' dragged its heavy steps into the Haven Bar.
Outside the bar, was a thick red fog.
Red House.
Wen Xishu was sure, it was the aura unique to the Red House.
But obviously, the Red House wasn't the acquaintance of Zhang Qiang who just entered the bar.
The Red House should be nearby, it's another ghost.
Very likely, it would come knocking soon.
The power of the Red House was already enough to influence some rules, if mistakenly let in... the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, Wen Xishu had no time to think too deeply now, he tightly observed the 'thing' that entered the house.
Zhang Qiang was scared.
This 'police officer' didn't hesitate and shot this wet, seawater-soaked-looking thing three times.
Bang, bang, bang!
Three consecutive shots. As it's said, two shots to the heart and one to the head, even gods would shake their heads. But if shot at a ghost, it could be different.
That wet body only swayed, then continued to walk casually towards the bar's corner.
Yes, this water-ghost-like character did nothing to repay grievances but instead headed towards the corner.
