Chapter 244: The Complexity of Human Hearts

"Captain, are you okay?"

The bald guy noticed that even the students couldn’t stand by silently anymore, so he helped by saying, "I understand you’re under a lot of pressure, but it’s not good to speak like that."

The policewoman, using broken English, asked if Chu Jiang was being influenced by the ghost in this room.

Chu Jiang just waved his hand, seeming to have a more friendly attitude towards these two people, "I’m fine, I just realized that this bald guy has never trusted me from the beginning, so there’s no need for me to be so polite to him."

"Okay, okay, since we haven’t found any danger for now, let’s all put away our supernatural powers."

"There is still a long way to go ahead, and we can’t be stuck here and waste time," the skinny man said, trying to calm everyone down. It seemed like he didn’t want any conflicts within the group at this moment.

Seeing the others, including the bald man, not saying anything, made him feel uncomfortable inside. Was he really being resented?

This guy with the surname Chu, ever since he rudely called him in from outside the door, has been holding a grudge against him, right?

Now that he no longer bothered to hide his attitude, what would happen next?

If there is any danger, would this guy surnamed Chu make him be the first one to face it, to sacrifice himself?

Lost in his thoughts, the bald man suddenly remembered his previous encounter in Room 0.

At that time, there was another version of himself rushing out from Room 1, with a strong hostility towards Chu Jiang, as if wanting to shoot him.

The words that "he" said, the bald man still remembered until now, "Don’t trust this guy! He will kill everyone!"

Could it be that it wasn’t a lie? But instead, a future version of himself giving advice to his present self…

……

When Chu Jiang saw the angry bald man calming down, he suddenly became unfriendly and stared at himself with warning in his eyes, which made the thin man feel a bit annoyed.

Does he really care about these ordinary people?

The thin man actually doesn’t care at all about their lives, but in supernatural events, sometimes you need such "living targets" to figure out the ghost’s killing pattern.

So, if the bald man is killed by Chu Jiang, it would be completely detrimental for the thin man.

This brainless bald man can die, but it should be during the process of exploring the killing pattern, not during internal conflicts within the team.

Next, everyone continued to cautiously move forward, being alert to any possible accidents.

……

Although the small conflict within the team has been resolved, the students couldn’t help but sigh in their hearts, thinking, "These people, they still don’t understand the importance of unity in life and death situations."

The bald guy acted like he was right and boldly questioned the captain. And that really skinny guy even chimed in?

If it wasn’t for me and the female police officer helping to mediate, the captain, who is normally pretty open-minded, would be in trouble. They wouldn’t need ghosts to come and kill them, they would just fight amongst themselves.

I hope I can survive until the end. As for those few who don’t trust the captain and like to cause trouble, oh well, just don’t hold everyone back.

……

The female police officer, Michiko, was also a bit frustrated. She believed that the bald guy was still being influenced by the illusion that appeared in Room 0 earlier.

And after experiencing the scream of death and being attacked by the ghost in the card, he was somewhat unable to control his emotions.

As for the others, they were all fine, even Captain Chu was very calm.

Of course, it can’t be ruled out that there is a ghost in Room 3 that has the power to affect people’s emotions. It made the bald guy’s emotions worsen and he became even more impatient.

Thinking up to this point, she spoke up and shared her analysis. She also urged everyone in the team to stay calm and not let negative emotions dominate their minds.

After the shop assistant translated, most of the people nodded in agreement, except for the bald man who didn’t give her a friendly face, looking angry.

……

The shop assistant translated mechanically, but deep inside she felt sad. She became more and more worried if she could ever turn back to being a normal person.

As for the policewoman’s warning, the shop assistant thought it was a bit exaggerated. Didn’t the bald man just ask a question? Didn’t the captain just give an answer? It made it seem like everyone was in a strange mood.

Can I survive? Am I still human? What should I do in the future?

These questions were swirling in the shop assistant’s mind, to the point where she felt less and less human. She even looked at her original outfit, a women’s suit and white shirt, and it seemed even more like a black robe.

……

Firefighter Paul felt invisible in this team. Today’s events were just terrible for him. He missed his home, his wife, and his three-year-old child.

As for the conflict caused by a single sentence earlier in the team, the firefighter still believed that the bald man was in the wrong.

Although he couldn’t understand the language, he had to wait for the translator to come to understand. Sometimes even the headless woman didn’t translate, so he had to guess on his own.

But in the firefighter’s eyes, the bald guy looked fierce and scary, similar to the gangsters in his own country, leaving a bad impression on people.

And that man who was as thin as a skeleton, the firefighter didn’t have a good impression of him either.

This person had too many thoughts, it seemed like he had a lot of ideas about the captain, but he was also hesitant because of the captain’s strength, so he could only pretend to please the captain.

But just now, it seems like this man stopped pretending and started speaking up for the bald guy.

……

Something’s not right, after Chu Jiang entered Room No. 3, he was very tense and constantly on guard for any unexpected incidents.

Fortunately, nothing happened until everyone entered this room.

But after everyone entered, they started behaving a bit strangely, especially the bald guy.

This guy came in yelling at himself, as if he owed him a lot of money; and he said that Chu Jiang had to guarantee his safety, or else he would make everyone unhappy.

If the bald guy said this on his own will, Chu Jiang, being the person he is, wouldn’t have tolerated it and would have slapped him to the ground a long time ago.

However, since the bald guy’s behavior before was relatively normal, Chu Jiang still calmly responded and asked if he was influenced by a ghost?

The bald guy didn’t answer Chu Jiang’s question, he just stared at him.

Then the students and the policewoman came forward to mediate with their words. These two people seemed normal, but the thin guy seemed to have taken the wrong medicine somewhere.

He was advising everyone to stop using supernatural powers, while also making sarcastic remarks about Chu Jiang. He said that the strong must bear responsibility and save the weak. Someone should not refuse to help when the time comes, and so on.

And when Chu Jiang looked at him in surprise, the thin guy instead looked away, not responding to him at all.
