The Projection Room is typically a place in prisons set up to let inmates know what's happening in the outside world.
But what exactly was the purpose of this Projection Room before him?
Since entering the prison, he hadn't seen any ghosts, except for some strange Paper Dolls in the first area.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu recalled the incomplete version of the Paper-crafting Technique he had found earlier; if he could collect the complete set, the Paper Dolls created would be very powerful.
It seemed that after completing the Hidden Quest, he would need to return to the first area and search thoroughly.
Lost in thought about his next steps, Lin Yu approached the door of the Projection Room and pushed it open.
As he got closer to the Projection Room, Red-clothed Ghost also had a strange feeling — she couldn't quite explain it, but it was definitely odd.
Once the door was opened, Lin Yu glanced around before leading Red-clothed Woman inside.
The inside of the Projection Room resembled a cinema, but with more seats. They immediately started searching.
The Red-clothed Ghost didn't hesitate and went straight to a spot where an item was placed.
She picked up a black bead resting on a chair, and her expression instantly changed.
Through this bead, she understood the true nature of the prison.
The prison was divided into four areas, each governed by a ghost. Normally, these four ghosts could not leave their respective territories.
This explained why she had felt fear when near the Central Corridor — her fear stemmed from the prison's rules.
The Knife-wielding Male Ghost and the ghost with the parchment scroll that Lin Yu and she encountered had their strength increased after a player accepted the Hidden Quest.
Normally, their strength would be comparable to hers.
Furthermore, all four ghosts, including herself and the others, were prisoners locked in this prison.
This meant there was one more ghost in the prison — the Overseer, who monitored the other four ghosts.
When a player accepts the Hidden Quest and the prison's rules change, these four ghosts can move through the Central Corridor to other areas to try to kill each other.
If one ghost kills the other three and absorbs their strength, it gains the power to challenge the Overseer.
A successful challenge means the ghost's identity changes from prisoner to Overseer; if they fail, they are killed by the Overseer.
The previous Overseer would then have their memories wiped and become a prisoner again.
Red-clothed Ghost was that previous Overseer, defeated and demoted to prisoner.
This black bead was the item that helped her regain her memory.
Lin Yu searched the Projection Room but found no items. When he turned to ask Red-clothed Woman, he saw she stood motionless as if possessed.
He took out his Invisibility Knife and approached her cautiously.
After Red-clothed Ghost regained her memory, the black bead transformed into a wisp of Ghost Qi and entered her body.
She sensed Lin Yu's approach and showed a regretful expression.
"I didn't find any items here, maybe my feeling was wrong…"
"No worries, let's check other places."
Lin Yu guessed Red-clothed Woman felt embarrassed about not finding anything, so she stood frozen.
She nodded and followed Lin Yu out of the Projection Room.
Afterward, Lin Yu searched the Basketball Court but still found nothing.
After resting for about half an hour, they left that area and headed to the last area.
Red-clothed Ghost's expression grew serious; she pondered whether to tell Lin Yu the truth but eventually decided against it.
"Don't worry, I won't let you die," she silently vowed while watching Lin Yu's back.
