Zheng came to the lobby at nine. He stood next to the wall silently. Lan came over dressed in a casual dress a few minutes later. She looked refreshed. Then she greeted Zheng and went out the door. Zheng had no choice but to follow behind.

“It’s so nice to be able to rest here for five days. To be honest, I am at my limit after two movies. If I don’t get a chance to relax, I might go crazy in the next movie…”

Even though it was already night time, the outside was bright as daylight form the lighting. As a holiday paradise, night life was just starting by at this hour. The street was filled with people partying and local girls dancing hula. Everything was refreshing for the two of them.

“Zheng, let’s go over there. A lot of people are gathered over there.” Lan grabbed Zheng’s hand and laughed.

Zheng pulled back his hand without a trace and forced a smile. “I told Lori about seeing you, so I can’t stay for too long. Lan if you have something to say just say it… It’s better to make everything clear.”

Lan was dazed for a bit then he looked at Zheng deeply. After a while she smiled. “Are you… mistaken something? Relax, even though I do like you a little, but it’s my bottom line to not hurt another girl. So even if you are to betray Lori, I wouldn’t allow it… There’s something else I want to talk with you about.”

“Is that so? I thought…” Zheng scratched his head with embarassment.

Lan laughed lightly, as though there was something else in her laughing. “I don’t know why, but I am feeling a sense of stress from our team. Since… uh, since the last time I enhanced my mental capacity, I’ve been feeling this. And after I learned two spells, this feeling is getting stronger. Like something has been watching and monitoring us.”

Zheng replied curiously. “It’s probably God that’s monitoring us? I felt the same thing when I unlocked the first stage of the constraint, and it’s also getting stronger now… but it shouldn’t be a big deal. God should be monitoring us all along.”

Lan sighed. “I don’t know how to explain to you… but whatever I am going to say, I don’t have any intention of creating conflict within the team… Don’t you think one of us has been acting strange?”

That made Zheng felt even more curious. “One of us is acting strange? What are you trying to say? Even though we are comrades, but if one of us is strange or have bad intentions, then I won’t let him off easily…”

Lan opened her mouth but at the end she didn’t say anything. She sighed and said. “I am not sure, it’s just a feeling. Perhaps it’s due to enhancing mental capacity… Zheng, do you still remember the last day in The Grudge? Why did I suddenly get to the hotel but the charm didn’t ignite? If it was the Ju On that did it, then the charm should had burned… Didn’t you feel something was wrong?”

Zheng also cooled down. He thought for a bit and said. “To be honest, I also felt strange at the time why it happened… Hoho, I thought about it for a long time and couldn’t figure it out. So that means you figured out the truth?”

“I can’t say it’s the truth, just some suspicion. That’s why I can’t name that person. Afterall we are a team… Zheng, if I die, then please be careful of the person who reacts abnormally…”

Their short date ended there. When they got back to the hotel, the two were walking with some distance in between. When Lan got off the elevator, she turned around and gave Zheng a smile, a smile that gave him a sense of sadness…

“Lori… I’ve been in love with you deeply all along since childhood. I will keep my promise and protect you until our hair turn silver… Lori, I won’t… Nothing happened between me and Lan.”

Zheng cuddled Lori in bed and muttered these words.

“… Of course nothing will happen. Lan is the nicest sister. Hehe, I already knew she likes you but she isn’t the type of person that will fight with me for you… Pervert, you won’t leave me right?” Lori yawned then laughed.

“Of course…”

(Feelings aside, who did Lan mean… the person that acted abnormally, is it Xuan? Or Zero? They are not original members of the team. If she was referring to a newbie, then Yinkong is also suspicious. She acted cold toward everyone and now she’s become a member of the team… Who was she referring to?)

Zheng fell asleep with Lori then suddenly a special sensation woke up him, as if something was going to happen. As time passed, this sensation was getting stronger and stronger.

Zheng couldn’t bear it anymore and sat up from the bed. He carefully covered Lori with the blanket then dressed up and walked out of the room. Without delay, he ran out of the hotel and followed the direction this sensation was coming from.

It was about four or five in the morning. The area was quiet and empty. Zheng ran toward the shore and the sensation was getting stronger but it was also fading away…

“Lan!”

When he reached the shore, he saw little black dot floating from afar. Without rhyme or reason he called out Lan’s name. Then he swam toward that little dot. When he finally reached it, it was indeed Lan who fell unconscious! She almost died from drowning!
