Chapter 138

“Help… cough! Help…”

The “Old Granny” was dragged into the water, choking on several mouthfuls of liquid.

The Long-Haired Female Ghost now had her completely under control, leaving her with no power to fight back.

As she bobbed up and down more frequently, the Old Granny’s cries for help grew increasingly faint.

Standing on the shore, Jiang Li was a good ten meters away from the Old Granny in the center of the pool.

If Jiang Li wanted to save her, she had to get into the water!

However, the moment she touched the red water in the pool, Jiang Li would directly violate the rules…

“Ah ha ha ha ha!!! You old hag, you finally got what’s coming to you!

“Go on, call her down here! Ha ha ha!!

“She doesn’t dare save you at all. You deserve to die! Ha ha ha ha…”

The Long-Haired Female Ghost saw Jiang Li’s hesitation and threw her head back, laughing maniacally.

The ghost’s messy, jet-black hair slid away from her cheeks.

Revealed before Jiang Li’s eyes were the shocking, horrific scars on the ghost’s face.

It seemed this Ms. Jiang had not only caused the Long-Haired Woman’s death but had also destroyed her beauty.

“…Cough… save… me…”

Ms. Jiang’s face was pale; she was at death’s door.

If she wasn’t saved within two minutes, she would certainly die!

Jiang Li furrowed her brows, staring at the bright red blood-water in the pool as her mind raced for a strategy.

The red water was incredibly turbid.

With the thrashing of the Long-Haired Woman and Ms. Jiang, the foul-smelling, filthy matter at the bottom of the pool had all floated to the surface.

Jiang Li simply closed her eyes, rapidly thinking of a way to break the deadlock.

In an instant, a massive amount of information flashed through Jiang Li’s mind.

Moisture, dirty water, blood pool, disfigurement, Long-Haired Female Ghost…

Jiang Li’s concentration reached its peak, and fine beads of cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Two seconds later.

The knuckle of Jiang Li’s index finger twitched twice unconsciously.

A flaw was stripped away from the mountain of information and magnified before Jiang Li’s eyes.

Jiang Li snapped her eyes open.

“Ms. Jiang,” Jiang Li shouted to the Old Granny, “I can save you, but you must give me a 10-point Positive Review right now!”

Hearing Jiang Li’s voice, the Old Granny struggled with all her might, laboriously lifting her head out of the water.

“Fine,” Ms. Jiang gasped for fresh air, “I’ll give you 10 points now, just hurry up and come down to save-”

Before the Old Granny could finish, she let out another scream and was shoved back under the water.

“Hurry… get down here!” the Old Granny urged Jiang Li.

After staring at the Old Granny’s desperate struggle for a few seconds, Jiang Li’s gaze turned cold.

She retracted her gaze and put on the nearby Waterproof Rubber Gloves.

“Don’t worry, Ms. Jiang. I guarantee you won’t die.”

Jiang Li paced unhurriedly toward the Drain of the VIP Pool.

She leaned down, kneeling by the edge, and reached her hand into the water.

The Drain was clogged with a large amount of hair.

Jiang Li pulled out several large clumps of hair, tossed them onto the shore, and continued to clear the Drain.

The viewers watching the livestream were so anxious they were practically jumping out of their seats.

-“No way, sis, what are you doing? Go save her already!”

-“Stop draining the water, big shot! By the time you’re done, it’ll be too late!”

-“I’m so anxious I’m stomping my feet in my room!!”

Jiang Li wasn’t flustered at all.

No matter how much the Old Granny in the pool screamed and shouted, Jiang Li acted as if she hadn’t heard a thing.

After thirty seconds of work, the water in the Blood Pool began to flow.

“Ms. Jiang, I have already saved you. I’ll be taking my leave now.”
Jiang Li took off her gloves, washed her hands at the sink, and dried them.

Ms. Jiang, still in the pool, didn’t react for a moment.

Before leaving, Jiang Li smiled and said, “Ms. Jiang, once the water finishes draining, you’ll be saved. Just hang in there a little longer.”

With that, Jiang Li picked up a set of clean uniform and left the scene without looking back.

Her clothes were still soaking wet; she needed to go back and change.

“Mommy, aren’t you going to save that old lady? She looks like she’s about to give up.”

In the corridor, Red Infant’s tone was slightly worried.

Jiang Li laughed. “Baby, she’s not going to die.”

“If she were really that easy to kill, how could she have put a female ghost in such a dangerous place?”

According to Ms. Jiang, the Long-Haired Female Ghost would be resurrected if she drank blood.

Knowing full well that the ghost would definitely come back for revenge after being resurrected, any normal person would have thrown the corpse as far away as possible instead of placing it in a Blood Pool.

Since Ms. Jiang dared to keep the ghost in the pool, her combat strength was definitely superior to that of the ghost.

This so-called crisis was nothing more than a performance to trick naive Service Staff into risking their lives by entering the water.

Jiang Li carried the clean clothes back to the Staff Lounge to change.

Just as she was about to head out, she unexpectedly discovered an extra window on the wall of the lounge.

The blue Curtain was drawn, seemingly blocking out a lot of bright light.

Jiang Li was currently on Basement Floor 1 of the Clear Spring Hotel.

How could there be outdoor light on a basement floor?

Furthermore, through the Curtain, she could hear strange sounds coming from outside.

It sounded very much like… a group of children playing on a playground.

However, the sound was very distant.

Jiang Li pulled the Curtain open with a sharp *shing*.

Behind the Curtain, there was only a wall.

The light vanished, and the sound disappeared along with it.

“What’s wrong, Mommy?” Red Infant asked her.

Jiang Li froze for two seconds. “No… nothing. I might have been hallucinating.”

Jiang Li closed the Curtain and turned to leave the room.

The moment Jiang Li shut the door, blinding light shot through from behind the Curtain once again.

A gentle breeze caused the Curtain to sway slightly.

Through the gap in the Curtain, the scenery and laughter from outside appeared for two seconds before vanishing once more.

Jiang Li left the lounge and returned to the Hot Spring Room.

The bloody water in the pool had already been drained dry.

At the bottom of the pool, the corpses of those Female Service Staff were exposed.

From their appearance, these corpses were nothing more than puddles of deep Red Slime; their human forms were no longer discernible.

One could only vaguely identify them as Jiang Li’s colleagues by the pairs of eyeballs stuck in the slime.

It was easy to imagine how many people Ms. Jiang had killed by exploiting the sympathy of her colleagues to trick them into the water to “save” her.

The Red Slime these corpses had turned into was just like the sticky substance on the red carpet in the corridor earlier-extremely tacky.

If Jiang Li had rashly stepped into the water just now, she would have most likely been stuck or even tripped by this slime.

There was a high probability that Jiang Li would have died in that pool as well.

At this moment, seeing the floor of the pool covered in corpses, the tide shifted in the Live Streaming Room.

Those who had been arrogantly hurling insults earlier were now silent.

Instead, the group that hadn’t dared to speak up earlier began flooding the screen with comments.

-“Who was it that told our Big Sis to go save her just now? Come out and take your lashing!”

-“Glad I didn’t say anything. I knew things weren’t that simple.”

-“Why did the haters stop hating? Is it because you don’t like it anymore?”
