"You've got noticeable dark circles under your eyes--you must be burning the midnight oil.
"You blink a lot, and your glasses are heavily prescribed, indicating your eyes are overworked and you probably suffer from dry eye syndrome.
"When your hands are on the table, your fingers tap lightly as if you're typing on a keyboard.
"When you came in, you headed straight for seat 42 without a second thought.
"You have a knack for numbers. In the entrance test, you chose a math problem, and in the living room, you went for a puzzle game.
"You're sipping an energy drink.
"There's a tablet hidden in your jacket, and you've got earbuds in your ears.
"I'd say you're a programmer."
Seat 42 looked taken aback for a moment, then broke into an enthusiastic grin. "Wow, you're observant! You must know your stuff. Want to go a few rounds later?"
Finally, Matthew turned to the man in seat 27, who had a noticeable belly. He simply said, "You're involved in some shady business. I won't elaborate."
All eyes shifted to seat 27.
The man in seat 27 wore a large mask and remained silent.
The Messenger interjected, "I'd say seat 34 did an outstanding job. Here's a gold card for you."
Now it was Athena's turn.
Then the Messenger announced, "Please watch a video."
An attendant standing next to the Messenger turned a large computer screen towards the group and pressed play.
The video opened with a door marked "174."
A middle-aged man reached for the doorknob, pushed it open, and stepped into the room.
Behind him followed four others: a young boy in a white shirt holding hands with a girl with a ponytail, a thirty-something guy wearing glasses, and a young woman with long hair in a striking red dress.
Inside, the room had the typical layout of a guest room.
To the left, a closet was stocked with towels and pajamas.
To the right was a bathroom featuring a washbasin, a toilet, and a shower stall.
The main room held two single beds, a sofa, a table, and a television, with a kettle and some cups set on the table.
As soon as the woman in red stepped inside, she made a beeline for the bathroom, shutting the door behind her, the sound of running water echoing in the silence.
The girl with the ponytail wandered over to the window, gazing out at the pouring rain, and complained, "Great, no cell signal, and it's just pouring. Five of us stuffed into one room? There's no way we'll sleep well. If I'd known, I would've skipped this dump altogether."
The boy in the white shirt tried to reassure her, "Hey, it's just for one night. We'll manage."
The middle-aged man chuckled, "I'll take the sofa tonight. You girls can share a bed, and the guys can take the other one. It shouldn't be too cramped."
The girl with the ponytail muttered, "This place is ancient and small, way up in the mountains. Who knows if it's even safe at night..."
The guy in glasses added, "Don't worry. If anything goes down, the three of us guys can protect you two ladies. You'll be just fine."
Grabbing the remote, the girl with the ponytail flicked on the TV. "Let's just watch something to kill time."
The screen lit up.
She flipped through the channels, frowning, "What's the deal? There are only three channels! It's either the news, some shopping shows, or online classes. And this one's about calculus--how dull!"
The middle-aged man suggested, "Why don't we watch the local news?"
The boy in the white shirt swiped the remote from her. "Let's do a shopping show instead. I wanted to buy some health supplements for my parents, and you guys can doze off while we watch."
Everyone chuckled.
Just then, the girl in the red dress emerged from the bathroom, smiling. "The hot water downstairs should be ready. I'm going to grab a bowl of instant noodles and bring some back for you all."
She reached for the doorknob, opened the door, and disappeared from view.
The middle-aged man then walked into the bathroom and closed the door.
The boy in the white shirt and the girl in the ponytail settled on the sofa, leaning into each other, sharing whispers and secrets.
The guy in glasses glanced at the clock and said, "It's only a little past eight. I'm going to see if they have any playing cards downstairs. If they do, we can all play together."
He opened the door and stepped outside.
The video ended there.
The Messenger then said, "Among these five people, one is a ghost, and one is a murderer. I'll play the video again, and when it's done, you need to point out immediately who the ghost is and who the murderer is."
"You blink a lot, and your glasses are heavily prescribed, indicating your eyes are overworked and you probably suffer from dry eye syndrome.
