After breakfast, no one had eaten anything.

Later, they fell asleep in a daze. It was already two o’clock in the afternoon.

The four of them followed the instructions of the elevator to the restaurant on the fifth floor.

There were actually quite a number of people in the restaurant.

Mary roughly counted 23 of them.

Hugh whispered, “So many people? Why are they all here so late for lunch?”

Adela chimed in, “Maybe they fell asleep just like us?”

Hearing this, Mary felt goosebumps all over her body.

.

Only Herman still looked calm and collected. He was always a cold and handsome man.

Mary could not help but approach him and found a sense of security.

Herman looked down at Mary’s head, slightly lost in thought.

Hugh consciously leaned to the other side of Herman. Adela followed closely behind. Herman’s face flashed with helplessness.

The four of them found a seat by the window and sat down. Soon, a waiter came over. It was the first time Mary had seen a waiter appear in this hotel so quickly.

The waiter was a fat woman. Her face was full of impatience and her temper seemed to be very bad.

Hugh just ordered a few random dishes and gave the menu to Mary. Before Mary could look at it, the fat woman grabbed the menu.

“Lunch is almost over, let’s leave it at that!”

The fat woman took the menu and left.

Adela felt that his lady Mary had been bullied. He got up and wanted to teach the fat woman a lesson.

Mary grabbed him. “Don’t be rash. There’s something wrong with this hotel. Don’t cause trouble for now.”

Adela was so angry that smoke was coming out of his nostrils. “But she… what’s with that attitude?!”

Hugh also felt that it was better to keep a low profile for now, so he advised Adela to do so.

Mary didn’t really care. She wasn’t really here on vacation, and her priority now was to find her partner for this mission, the Iron Wolf from the FBI.

In addition to the four of them, there were 23 other people in the restaurant. Five of them looked like young women under 30 but over 20, but she didn’t know if any of them were the people she was looking for.

The food was served quickly.

A hamburger fried chicken and coke combo for four.

The four of them ate whatever they could and were ready to leave.

Suddenly, someone in the restaurant stood up and shouted, “Who’s going on an adventure tonight?!”

Adventure?

Hugh, who was the most timid, was also the most interested because he had come for this matter.

Therefore, the four people’s slightly raised buttocks fell down again.

Half of the people responded, while the other half watched, but they clearly understood the meaning of adventure.

Hugh whispered, “Do you think they are also attracted by the post and want to get the reward?”

It was the same person standing on the table. He waved his arm and seemed to be very excited. “Those who want to go, gather at the 13th floor’s staircase tonight at 10:00! Bring your equipment, we are going to catch a ghost!”

‘Catch a ghost!’

It seemed that they really came for the reward of the post.

Some people shouted and shouted excitedly.

But most of the people were still calm and whispered to each other.

Mary and Herman looked at each other, got up, and left the restaurant with Hugh and Adela.

As soon as they left the restaurant, the four of them met David again.

David was leaning against the wall outside the restaurant, and when he saw them come out, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

David opened his mouth and asked in a questioning tone, “Are you really not here for the thrill of catching ghosts?”

Mary pretended to be ignorant and innocent. “We were scared to death! What are they talking about? What thrill of catching ghosts?”

Mary’s panicked look, coupled with Hugh and the look on Adela’s face, was a little convincing.

Herman always had a cold and indifferent expression.

David smiled. “At first, I thought you were pretending. This hotel is haunted, you really don’t Know?”

“Haunted? Oh my God! Really? I’m a little scared… no wonder I feel like there are eyes staring at me when I’m taking a nap! It can’t be a real ghost, right?”

Mary hid behind Herman in fear.

Herman looked at David. “Can you help us understand what’s going on?”

David seemed to be a very nice person. He explained to them without hesitation, “If you really entered this hotel by mistake, I advise you… It’s best to leave tomorrow morning.”

“This hotel is really strange. I’ve been here for a few days and have seen many… supernatural incidents.”

“Have you seen those fanatical supernatural fans in the restaurant? They seem to have come here to catch ghosts based on a post on the Internet.”

Hugh felt that this man was threatening them and immediately retorted, “If it’s so strange, why are you still here? Aren’t you fine?”

David silently took out a cross from his clothes, “I’m a priest, ghosts are not allowed to get close to me.”

Mary and the others said nothing.

So, there were such high-level players.
