  1. Mutual cooperation ah~

    Also, I saw a comment about the Brother-in-Law and remember that Song Bozhi was really uncomfortable with him, to the point of not wanting to live with him. However, he doesn’t seem to be a suspect for the ghost as he doesn’t live in this neighborhood.

    Still, the thing with the eyes… because of how Bozhi’s eyes are so pure, not seeing the filth of the world… So creepy! 😖

  2. It’s fun to see Ren Yifei figure out things about playing these games that he doesn’t get to hear directly from veterans just by picking up on their actions—what do they look for, what do they pay attention to, because he fully immerses himself in his roles he doesn’t have a chance to even passively pick up information about how the games are set up like a normal newbie would, but his own path is working just as well. I really want to see how he’d cooperate without breaking character… I suppose if Song Bozhi knew someone was in his room already and Saman creates a good enough opening to establish a relationship/seems to be concerned about him he might have thought to ask him for help? Or else Ren Yifei might go more subtle for cooperation, just letting Saman do some of the work for him by dropping appropriate “unintentional” hints haha

    Thank you so much for translating! <3

  3. Hmm, the occupied body is probably the delivery guy, but the original… I’m guessing it’s the neet? After all, a student would have a curfew, the mother wouldn’t let her kids act like they do if she was obsessed with the blind boy, the old man and the middle-aged lady aren’t physically fit to murder many young ladies, ML’s body only moved in so it wouldn’t be there a week ago (though moving into apartment right next to the blind boy is a red flag), and the dude in a flowery shirt didn’t leave much impression (though, now that I think about it, the ghost leaving his former body prettied up for the blind boy to find AND drawing a rose with his own former heart would be extra messed up, but very much possible).
  4. I see a lot of the same guesses such as the delivery man or the mysterious ‘brother-in-law’, but we can cross the brother in law out since he doesn’t live in the apartment, there is a high chance its the delivery guy, mother ain’t it cuz that’s not how a stalker would act, floral shirt? The disguised as dead trope could(?) prob be used again in this instance, school boy is prob a no he sounds quite innocent from what I hear so far, ml and his lackey?? Completely crossed out, old man – old. Yea so that really just leaves the delivery boy and floral shirts…
