Chapter 453: Chapter 302: Beichuan Si Misses the Opportunity (8000-Word Goal Achieved)_2

His silhouette quickly vanished at the other end of the street corner...

Then—

Then Beichuan Si turned back, a process that took him only two seconds.

Beichuan Si took another deep look at Jishi Park.

In front of the deserted Jishi Park, there was only a low iron gate and the tightly closed security room. Nothing else.

It seemed the other party truly wasn’t going to come out.

Beichuan Si tugged at his suspenders.

Originally, he wanted to feign leaving to catch the other party off guard, but it was as if they were scared off, refusing to show up no matter what.

Since that was the case, there was really nothing he could do.

Beichuan Si truly intended to leave this time. After all, continuing to waste time here wasn’t a solution.

However, as he walked away, he still occasionally turned his head to check the situation.

It seemed Beichuan Si was still quite concerned that he hadn’t seized the opportunity just now.

Returning from Jishi Park to the guesthouse didn’t take long. Beichuan Si’s outing lasted two hours, and the others had already bought everything they needed.

As soon as Beichuan Si came back, Tanaka Takashi couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Beichuan, where did you go? We didn’t see you when we got back and thought you went to Jishi Park ahead of us."

"I did go to Jishi Park."

Beichuan Si didn’t hide anything, and said directly, "If I could have handled it alone, then there would have been no need for you guys to take the risk."

Of course, the most important reason was that having Tanaka Takashi and the others as a burden made anything inconvenient, no matter what he did.

"Is that so?" Yamakou Hideyasu and the others listened in stunned silence before finally asking after a while, "So, what was the result?"

"Not much. I did see something, but let it get away."

Beichuan Si set Nishijou Kurenai on the small round table, and continued in an even tone, "I’ve already scouted the situation over there. As it stands, there should be no more problems. I personally suggest that you guys conserve your energy tonight, get acquainted with the various equipment, and there’s no need to explore the site further."

After all, the crucial Ghost House had been demolished, the spiritual realm was inaccessible at the moment, and going to Jishi Park would be a mere waste of time.

It was better to rest and recuperate, to gather strength and await the midnight of the next day.

"If Mr. Beichuan says so..."

The remaining four people briefly conferred and agreed with Beichuan Si’s opinion. They decided to stay at the guesthouse and prepare, not going anywhere.

Then, the things to follow became considerably simpler.

Charge batteries for the flashlights, take a bath, eat meals—everything could wait until tomorrow.

In any case, the outcome was sure to emerge tomorrow night.

But just as Beichuan Si was about to sleep, as was his routine to clear his emails, something happened that shocked everyone.

"The emails are gone."

Beichuan Si tapped the table.

Before him lay his phone, with an empty email inbox— not a single email.

But the problem was that Beichuan Si had specifically saved the ’Midnight Ghost House Evaluation’ invitation email and even backed it up in the drafts folder.

But now the emails were gone.

What on earth was going on?

"My emails are still here." Gongben Naoki was the first to speak up, pulling out his phone.

"Mine too."

"Mine as well..."

Everyone took out their phones to confirm, and eventually, all turned their heads towards Beichuan Si.

"Could it be an accidental clear of your mailbox, Mr. Beichuan...?" Hobu Tian suggested a possibility.

Beichuan Si shook his head.

How could he make such a careless mistake? And even if clearing the inbox, it would require navigating to a confirmation page for a second confirmation.

"Is the deletion of the emails meant to signify disqualification?" Gongben Naoki raised her hand to speak.

Her husky, metallic voice instantly drew everyone’s attention.

She analyzed quietly, "Although I also feel it might be implausible, perhaps the resentful spirit in the amusement park realized Mr. Beichuan was a threat and deleted his emails... That would be equivalent to canceling his qualification to participate in this evaluation."

Silence—

Regardless of Hobu Tian’s reaction, Tanaka Takashi and Yamakou Hideyasu felt it was very likely.

After all, that was Mr. Beichuan... Maybe it was just as Gongben Naoki had said.

As they quieted down, Beichuan Si also spoke up:

"I don’t think it should be like that."

He rubbed his phone, his expression forthright; "I haven’t done anything to scare off the other party, and I don’t believe a resentful spirit is something that can be frightened so easily... No matter how it goes, I will accompany you tomorrow night to check the situation."

Beichuan Si was as confident as ever in himself.

"Right," Gongben Naoki nodded, feeling that she had digressed in her previous statement.

Since it was a vengeful spirit, naturally, it wouldn’t abandon its intentions just because of something Beichuan Si did.

...

The night passed peacefully.

Time moved on to May 1st.

Beichuan Si went with them to Jishi Park during the day.

This time, in addition to the Scare Valley, they also explored the Joy Valley and Adventure Valley.

However, similar to the Scare Valley, most of the amusement rides in the other two areas had been dismantled; the water in the fountains and pools was pitch black, giving off a deep and unfathomable impression at first glance.

This desolate place was indeed very suitable for making videos about supernatural tales.

"We came with five people, yet we still couldn’t enter that ghost house," Beichuan Si pondered aloud.

It seemed that they must return to this place at midnight.

"Let’s go back to the guesthouse," Beichuan Si decided.

Wandering around here was fruitless; it was better to go back first.

The group returned to the guesthouse.

"The ghost house was actually demolished," Hobu Tian lied sprawled on the tatami, deeply sighing, "How are we supposed to do a review now? I might as well say I want to go home. Could this email truly have been sent by a computer hacker?"

His complaints didn’t catch the attention of the others.

Hobu Tian had a typical loudmouth personality, but if truth be told, he was the least likely to leave this place.

After all, this was a matter of life and death.

"Mr. Beichuan, what do you think?" Gongben Naoki asked Beichuan Si.

Beichuan Si’s response was very straightforward.

He just briefly uttered a single word.

"Wait."

Indeed, other than waiting, there was no other option.

The Ghost House Spiritual Realm that only opened at midnight.

The email that mysteriously vanished...

Something stirred in Beichuan Si’s mind.

He hadn’t explained the spiritual realm to the midnight streamers because the concealment within the ’hidden world’ was inherently unbelievable. Adding to that, telling them about something that could trigger their fear at this critical moment...

It didn’t seem to be a wise move.

Regardless, what followed was a time for waiting.

Seeing Beichuan Si’s response, Gongben Naoki could only nod in agreement.

In fact, she was eager to enter the ghost house immediately to search for clues about her sister.

But...

She still had to wait!

And so, time ticked away slowly.

They ate, used the restroom, and ate again—

It was 11 p.m.!

Beichuan Si woke the others, who were in a light sleep, checked the time with them, and started listing the precautions:

"The email mentioned, no cell phones allowed, no filming. I suggest you leave your phones behind, and we’ll keep track of time with watches."

"But how about communication then..."

"Trust me, once we’re inside, cell phones will definitely not work."

That time at Rain Hall, although Beichuan Si had been able to call Beichuan Huili, the words spoken couldn’t be conveyed through the medium of a cell phone from that side to this.

Rather than challenging the vengeful spirit’s tolerance, it was better to leave the phones here.

"And one more thing," Beichuan Si raised a finger again, his expression turning serious:

"Don’t stray too far from me. If you unfortunate become separated inside, you must make some noise that I can hear."

"That’s about it, let’s set off."

Beichuan Si gestured for them to follow, leading a procession of forum administrators, streamers, and novel authors who delved into the supernatural, marching grandly towards Jishi Park.

At that moment.

The moon shone dimly.
