Chapter 196: Inhuman (4) (1st update + 2nd update + 0.5 update) [VIP]

Xiao Fei's expression froze for a few seconds.

"Young man..." The old lady slowly raised her face, and a strange fragrance came out of her mouth, "Help me go quickly."

"You don't...want to deny it?"

Her tone suddenly turned cold, and the expression on her face became intriguing, and she even showed a smile.

Although there was no mention of the consequences of denying it, this unpredictable attitude immediately made Xiao Fei's blood run cold.

He...triggered a strange story?

What happens if you deny it?

His mind went blank, and he subconsciously quickly shifted his gaze away from the strange old man, and in a flash, his gaze fell on the figure next to him.

Ersi patted the old lady on the shoulder and did not leave. Instead, he stood beside her with his arms folded, looking calm and at ease.

"Er... Er Ge..." Xiao Fei squeezed out a few words from his throat, feeling that he was about to cry in the next second, "I... What should I do?"

"Promise it," Ersi looked at him strangely, "Are you going to deny it?"

Xiao Fei held on to the last glimmer of hope: "Is it okay?"

Bai Jinshu:?

Ask him? How would he know?

He had been staying here just to see what would happen after the strange story was triggered.

After all, although all of them had triggered the teahouse, there were no accidents during the whole process of triggering the strange story. The actions and props needed were also explained and prepared, and the duration was as long as ten days. Under such circumstances, Bai Jinshu was actually unsure of what the "completion" meant after triggering the strange story in this copy.

If the old lady's ghost story level wasn't too low, he might have admitted it after being scammed.

After all, according to Yuan Shanming's words, there is a limit to the number of ghost stories that each person can complete in the Novice Village. If this limit is used up by low-level ghost stories, then later high-level ghost stories will not be triggered.

Therefore, for people with a certain level of ability, one thing is how to find mid- to high-level ghost stories, and another is how to judge the level of ghost stories and prevent low-level ghost stories from occupying the quota.

Xiao Fei was simply a sample that was delivered right to his doorstep for his research.

He would love for someone to trigger this weird story for him and show him the process of completing it.

But now it seems that Xiao Fei seems to have misunderstood his meaning, thinking that he is staying here to save himself, and still holds a glimmer of hope that he will help him, and even asks him if he can deny it after the ghost story is triggered.

Bai Jinshu thought for a moment and touched his chin: "Let me ask for you."

Under Xiao Fei's expectant eyes, Bai Jinshu did not look towards the live broadcast room as he expected. Instead, he walked forward and patted the old man on the shoulder again: "Old man, I have a question for you. Can I not send you back?"

Xiao Fei: “…Ah?”

"Er Ge..." He was about to cry, "Aren't you asking about the barrage?"

Why would anyone still ask about the real owner of the ghost story?

"It's more convenient to ask the person himself than to ask the barrage." Er Si answered as a matter of course.

That being said...

But obviously, as the person being asked, the old lady was also stumped.

After a few seconds of silence, she responded, "Young man, he was the one who bumped into me, so of course you don't have to send me back."

"Young man..." She turned her head grimly and looked straight into Xiao Fei's eyes. "Are you still not moving? I am old, you should carry me back."

whispering sound……

Bai Jinshu stood up speechlessly.

These weird stories really depend on the person. Since Xiaofei looks easier to bully than him, the monster goes to scare Xiaofei.

Most importantly, the scare was successful.

In just a few words, I don’t know what Xiao Fei saw in the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room, but his face turned pale.

After struggling for a while, he turned around tremblingly and really carried the old lady on his back, his voice trembling: "Grandma...Grandma, how do I get to your house? Please show me the way."

"Just go along this river. My daughter's home is in Qiaotoudong Town. You can ask more questions along the way. I'm old and can't see clearly." The old lady lay on his back, and the strong and strange fragrance seemed to be able to drill into his nostrils.

"I... I'll ask." Xiao Fei's voice was shaking badly, but he didn't ask other people on the roadside. Instead, he looked uncontrollably in the direction of the live broadcast room. His eyeballs moved rapidly, as if he was hurriedly looking for something on it.

Soon, his sight stopped at a certain place. After looking for a few seconds, Xiao Fei carried the old lady on his back and walked in one direction.

Bai Jinshu put his hands in his pockets and followed.

It seems that Xiaofei got the information from the barrage.

Then he got the answer to why he suddenly agreed to the old lady's request just now.

Someone among the audience in his live broadcast room must have said something. These comments told him the consequences of refusing ghost stories and guided Xiao Fei to choose the path to the old lady's daughter's home.

It’s strange, why would the audience in his live broadcast room give him these instructions?

Bai Jinshu frowned and looked at his screen.

In the past few hours, the overwhelming lies above have not dissipated, but seem to have increased.

The extra comments are also very strange:

【This anchor was lying before. 】

【Why did he follow? 】

[Is he going to follow up and tell a lie? ]

【Why lie? He just told the truth. 】

[Which one is true and which one is false? ]

So strange...

Bai Jinshu frowned and scanned the comments quickly. Judging from Xiaofei's reaction, his comments would definitely not be like his. The comments in his own live broadcast room were definitely not normal.

Could it be that lying in this copy would trigger something strange?

He clicked to confirm again. There were indeed no strange signs or anything like that in front of his room, and no new weird stories were triggered by his lie.

That's strange.

Why are these audiences wondering why he said he didn't lie?

In the live broadcast room, a barrage of comments passed by: [Is the anchor still lying? ]

"No more talking," Bai Jinshu stared at the comment and tried to respond, "I've thought about it and decided that it's better to be an honest person and do things in a down-to-earth manner."

[So the anchor won’t lie anymore? ]

[Is this sentence true or a lie? ]

[If this is true, he will not lie anymore. If this is false, he will still lie.]

【Ah... people are so complicated. 】

Bai Jinshu: ...

To be honest, I still think you are more complicated.

Now he understood why Xu Zichen couldn't tell what these audiences were. If it were him, he wouldn't be able to tell what they were either.

I pay tribute to Xiao Fei who can chat enthusiastically with these things, calling them "big brother" one by one.

He shifted his gaze away from the live broadcast room, pressed the close button, and decided to ignore these unknown viewers for the time being.

"Was it the audience in the live broadcast room who showed you the way just now?" Bai Jinshu asked, with his hands in his pockets, following Xiaofei slowly.

"Yes," Xiao Fei was stunned, and then he realized that Bai Jinshu had been following him. A touch of emotion suddenly appeared on his face, "Er Ge, you have been following me to protect me, right? Thank you, Er Ge! Er Ge, you are really a good person! Your rating will definitely be very high when you leave the Novice Village!"

This kid knows how to take advantage of others.

If he could meet Lu Changfeng, Bai Jinshu felt that he would let the two of them have a discussion.

"I'll follow and see." Bai Jinshu did not answer him, but continued to ask, "What did the audience in your live broadcast room say?"

"The big brothers showed me the way and said that this kind of weird talk cannot be rejected," Xiao Fei quickly told what he had just seen, "Once a weird talk is triggered, it cannot be stopped, unless the weird talk itself is destroyed, or the thing that produces the weird talk is destroyed. Otherwise, it will trigger instant death."

Is the ghost story itself destroyed?

Bai Jinshu shifted his thoughtful gaze to the old lady.

So if a weird thing that you don't want to be triggered is triggered, you can actually beat it until the weird thing is no longer triggered?

The old lady shrank back at the dangerous sight and raised her voice to urge Xiao Fei: "Go! Go! What are you daydreaming about!"

Xiao Fei shuddered at her sharp voice and quickly quickened his pace.

Bai Jinshu:...No way, is it really like this?

No wonder the old lady is so afraid of him, the weird stories in this copy of yours are literally about bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

He now roughly understood what Xu Zichen meant when he said "the Gu King would chase after strange stories to vent his anger."

To be honest... he now feels that his fixed attribute has not been triggered, and most likely has disappeared. If this old lady really wants to show her power, as an ordinary performing artist, without Cen Bingqi's synchronization rate, he may not be able to beat her.

But this old lady gave in too quickly. It seemed that these undeads might not be able to see the strength of humans themselves, but judged more based on their attitude.

He acted like he was in great shape, so she went to try to scam Xiao Fei who seemed even more timid.

"Er... Er Ge," Xiao Fei's voice rang out, "How far am I from the front?"

"Hmm?" Bai Jinshu came back to his senses and looked forward. "What did the audience in your live broadcast room say?"

"Brother... the brothers said that if we follow this river down, we will reach the destination," Xiao Fei said while panting, "but why do I feel like I have been walking for so long, my back is getting heavier, and I haven't arrived yet."

"What are you dawdling for? Go away!" The old lady glanced at Bai Jinshu cautiously, raised her voice and scolded Xiao Fei.

"It seems like we've been walking for a long time," Bai Jinshu touched his chin, "If you can't get there later, why don't you throw her into the river?"

Xiao Fei: “Ah?”

"Just kidding," Bai Jinshu raised the corners of his lips, "This Qiaotoudong Town is so far away, I don't even want to go there..."

Before he finished speaking, the old lady's face suddenly burst into joy. Before her smile had even finished, Bai Jinshu's second half of the sentence continued: "So I want to see what kind of people live in such a far town, actually leaving an old man with limited mobility outside without anyone to accompany him. I want to have a good talk with them."

old lady:……

She felt like a mouthful of blood was stuck in her throat and she was about to choke to death in the next second.

Shouldn't you think it's too far so you don't go?

"Old lady, where is your home?" Bai Jinshu crossed his arms and looked in the direction of the old lady.

"Just keep going forward...just keep going forward and you'll be there," the old lady said in a trembling voice after a long silence. "We'll be there soon."

Just three minutes after she said this, a small bridge appeared in front of the two of them, and on the other side of the bridge was a residential area.

"We've arrived at my daughter's house. Young man, you can just take me in by yourself." The old lady leaned on Xiao Fei's shoulder, her voice sounding three points weaker.

"Er Ge..." Xiao Fei cautiously asked Bai Jinshu for his opinion.

Does the old lady mean for him to go in alone?

Even if he had barrage, he wouldn't dare to go alone...

"You go on your way," Bai Jinshu was determined to watch the whole process from triggering the strange talk to completing it, and pointed forward with his chin, "Who said I'm here to send this old man home? I just went to the town for a walk, and we just happened to be traveling together. Why, is that not possible?"

sure.

The old lady gritted her teeth and directed Xiao Fei to turn around and lead him to a small courtyard with a separate entrance and house.

As she cried out "ouch, ouch", a woman in a stand-up collared suit came out. She looked as if her mother was seriously injured, and she ran out in a hurry. The mother and daughter immediately put on a big show at the door.

It's just that this scene seemed extremely forced under Bai Jinshu's half-smiley gaze.

The woman couldn't help but glance at Bai Jinshu several times, and made all kinds of gestures in the direction of her mother.

It seemed that he was asking how the old lady had attracted someone like him.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" the woman signaled with her eyes.

The pain on the old lady's face became more real: "It was this young man who bumped into me. Fortunately, he is a kind person and was willing to send me home."

Xiao Fei was pulled over and stood in front of the woman.

That's his fault, it was him who triggered the strange story and had to be sent away.

"Uh...well, I've sent the person over. If everything is alright, I'll leave."

Xiao Fei's eyes quickly circled between the screen and the woman, and every body language was conveying the message that he wanted to run away.

This woman also had a strange fragrance, the same as the old lady's, or even stronger than hers.

Xiao Fei stood between the two of them, feeling this breath in his nostrils. He felt dazed, as if he had lost his soul, and was dizzy and confused.

In the strong fragrance, the woman stood up, her cloudy eyes paused stiffly for a few times, and swept over him, and said softly: "My mother has poor eyesight and usually can't find the way home. I have always wanted to find a way to cure her. If it weren't for you this time, I don't know when she would have been able to get home."

"It's okay, I should do it." Xiao Fei felt that if he didn't leave, something would happen, so he quickly said, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

This time no one stopped him. He quickly took a few steps back and rushed to Bai Jinshu as if escaping.

The old mother and the young daughter supported each other as they entered the gate of the house. In the distance, the sun gradually set behind the mountain, the sky gradually darkened, and lanterns were hung in front of all the houses, big and small, in the town.

Xiao Fei remembered what Yuan Shanming said, "During the day, people in the City of the Dead are covered in human skins." What about at night?

"Brother Er..." He got goosebumps all over his body, "Shall we go back to the teahouse?"

It will be safe once we get back to the teahouse. The teahouse is a place of ghost stories and these strange things cannot come in.

"Have you finished your ghost story?" Bai Jinshu turned his head and looked at Xiaofei who was in a hurry to leave.

"Done...done?" Xiao Fei was at a loss, "Didn't I send that old lady off?"

"Take another look," Bai Jinshu pointed at his live broadcast room with his chin, "Click on the description below the avatar to see it."

Xiao Fei was getting anxious as he watched the sky getting darker and darker, but he didn't dare to leave his only companion, Ersi, so he had to click on the icon quickly.

A few seconds later, his stiff voice rang out: "Bump...bump, in progress."

This strange story has no end.

"Try knocking on the door." Bai Jinshu motioned him to knock on the door.

It was getting dark. Xiao Fei knocked on the door for a long time, but the old lady and the woman didn't come to open the door. He tried his best to please the audience in front of the door for a long time before he looked at Bai Jinshu and said, "Er Ge... the brothers said that we should leave here first."

"Then let's go first." Bai Jinshu glanced at the watch. It was already past seven o'clock. If they triggered the teahouse at half past five, even if they left the teahouse at six o'clock, more than an hour had passed by then.

I spent more than an hour walking on the road.

If they walked back now, it would still take an hour, which means they would arrive at the teahouse around eight or nine o'clock at the earliest.

Yuan Shanming said that the undead would not wear human skins at night, so out of caution, most of these newcomers probably would not choose to go out, not to mention that he also said that he would tell everyone the fifty-eight stories at night, which made it even less likely that anyone would go out.

Bai Jinshu weighed the matter and decided that he should go back and listen to the fifty-eight stories first.

After all, this strange story was not triggered by him, so of course he was fine.

Xiao Fei, the unlucky guy who triggered the strange story, now took his words and the instructions of the big brothers in the barrage as the golden rule. Bai Jinshu estimated that if he didn't leave, he wouldn't dare to leave, so he simply walked ahead.

Sure enough, within a few minutes, Xiao Fei ran up and caught up. His stuttering live broadcast also showed his nervousness.

"Brothers in the anchor room... I am now in Qiaotoudong Town at night. I will show you the surrounding environment. The surrounding environment is very ancient... antique."

He trembled and stopped speaking at least three times in the middle of this sentence. Even though he was so scared, he still had to go on the live broadcast. Among this group of newcomers, Xiao Fei can indeed be called dedicated, at least more dedicated than the others.

One of them was walking in front and leading the way, while the other was broadcasting live with a trembling voice in the back. They didn't encounter any non-human monsters along the way, but Xiao Fei's live broadcast made Bai Jinshu feel so uncomfortable.

Even when shaking like this, he still didn't forget to urge himself to report data: "Everyone pay attention to Er Ge... Er Ge is really a good person. Er Ge accompanied the anchor to send the old lady home..."

"Er Ge, has your live broadcast room data increased?"

Bai Jinshu: "Hmm... maybe it has gone up?"

More viewers in his live broadcast room were discussing whether he was really accompanying Xiaofei on the exploration or was lying...

It is filled with content such as:

[Who knows which of his words are lies and which are true? ]

[What do you mean? What do you mean? ]

[He is so hard to understand...]

After watching this barrage for a long time, I actually felt a weird cuteness. Bai Jinshu tried to say "Yes, I was lying" in the middle of the video, which instantly triggered a new wave of barrages. A group of people who might not even be human were arguing about philosophical issues. One barrage said: [If he is telling the truth, then he is lying, then he is not telling the truth. If he is lying, then he is telling the truth, and he is not lying]

Bai Jinshu: ...Now he can barely understand the fun of those who like to stir up fights online.

The feeling that a casual remark can trigger a discussion is just like teasing the stupid son of the landlord next door.

Bai Jinshu imagined what Xiao Fei's live broadcast room would look like at this moment, and it was probably something like this:

[Is the anchor afraid? ]

[Why is the anchor afraid? ]

[What is the anchor afraid of? Why did the anchor of the live broadcast room he recommended lie? ]

It’s not easy to imagine that Xiaofei can accurately find information and give answers in this barrage of comments, and then continue the live broadcast.

He was simulating these comments in his mind when he heard Xiao Fei's voice suddenly get louder: "Er...Er Ge, we're here!"

What's arrived?

Bai Jinshu looked up and saw a large wooden building with bright lights suddenly appeared in front of them on the river bank not far away.

The teahouse... we're here?

Bai Jinshu quickly glanced at the time, and sure enough, it was not his illusion, it was now half past seven.

Only a dozen minutes had passed since they left Qiaotoudong Town.

The journey took more than an hour to walk there, but it only took a dozen minutes to return.

"Brother Er, are we coming in?" Xiao Fei's face burst with excitement.

His current live broadcast room avatar has the logo of the ongoing ghost story on it. As long as he enters the teahouse, maybe the ghost story will be offset?

Bai Jinshu naturally saw through his plan.

He looked at the teahouse sign, which was still out of range.

"Come in." He calmly opened the live broadcast room panel and observed Xiaofei's condition.

Xiao Fei couldn't wait any longer, his steps were much faster than before. When the dim sign on the live broadcast room suddenly lit up, he fell down, his tone instantly becoming panicked.

"Er Ge! Er Ge!" He was able to suppress his emotions the first time, but the second time he couldn't help crying.

"I can't see! I can't see, what's going on!"

"Can't see it?" Bai Jinshu frowned, "Wait a moment, let me take a look."

"It's not that I can't see it. What I saw didn't seem to be a teahouse. I seemed to... I should be here, but I wasn't..." Xiao Fei became incoherent and walked around, covering his head with his hands, looking very shocked.

"Don't move, let me take a look." Bai Jinshu stretched out his hand to hold him down.

"What's going on?" A curious female voice came from behind, "What's wrong with Xiaofei?"

It’s Xiao Tang.

Bai Jinshu turned around and saw her and Huangmao not far away. Xiao Tang was still wearing the dungarees and the large reflective jacket. He was hopping in front of her, his face full of curiosity: "Where did you go? What happened to him? Was his eyes blinded by the sand?"

"Xiao Fei? Let me take a look." Xiao Tang took a few steps forward, restrained Xiao Fei, and forcibly pried his hands open.

"Ah," Xiao Tang exclaimed, "His eyes are gone!"

This girl is quite brave. There is not much fear in her tone, but surprise is more of it.

"Hey, don't hide." Xiao Tang's hands were so strong that he suppressed Xiao Fei's struggle. "Those are not eyes. Let me see what's in your eye sockets?"

She leaned in and looked for a few seconds: "Huh?"

"Why are there two buttons?"

"Two buttons?" Bai Jinshu stepped forward, "Let me see."

"Don't come over! Don't come over!" Xiao Fei wanted to step back, but was held down by Xiao Tang and couldn't move.

"Xiao Fei, it's me, I'm Ersi." After being held down by Xiao Tang, Xiao Fei seemed very resistant to other people approaching him, "Let me take a look."

Bai Jinshu took out his cell phone and turned on the flashlight to take a look.

The circles in Xiao Fei's eye sockets really turned into two buttons.

It is worth mentioning that this thing actually has two buttons.

Although it appeared in Xiaofei's eyes now, Bai Jinshu still quickly recognized that this thing was the button that appeared on the collar of the old lady's daughter a few minutes ago.

"This button of yours is from that woman's collar. She did something to your eyes," Bai Jinshu clicked on the buff and took a look. "I guess there can't be other ghost stories in the teahouse, so your eyes suddenly changed. Try leaving the teahouse."

"Which woman? Did you trigger any weird stories?" Xiao Tang looked very curious. "Er Si, you didn't fall into the trap because you are smarter than Xiao Fei?"

This person is really persistent in attracting hatred for himself...

Bai Jinshu glanced at Xiao Tang speechlessly, and briefly explained what had happened. As a result, the girl became more active.

"I want to go too! I want to!" She bit off the lollipop in her mouth with a snap. "You guys sound interesting!"

"Then be quiet and stop jumping around," Bai Jinshu said bluntly, "help Xiaofei out of the teahouse first."

"Oh," Xiao Tang supported Xiao Fei obediently, but he was still talking, "So you guys just walked out of the teahouse, didn't Brother Yuan say you can't go out? Are you directionally challenged?"

"Hey, the icon has dimmed. Does this mean I've come out?" Xiao Tang looked at his live broadcast room, then at Xiao Fei. "How is it? Can you see it?"

"I still can't..." Xiao Fei shook his head, then nodded, "But, but I can see things."

"Not completely blind?" Xiao Tang curiously stretched out a few fingers and waved them in front of him, "What is this?"

"I didn't see what was in front of me," Xiao Fei took a deep breath, "What I saw... didn't seem to be what was around me."

"It seems to be..." He paused for a long time, "It seems to be, in a house."

After a long while, he said silently: "I saw that woman walking by. The two buttons on the collar of her dress were missing."

"I understand," Xiao Tang clenched his fist, "Your eyes have been replaced with that Lao Deng!"

Bai Jinshu: "...Do you have to use such a shady word?"

With both Zhaozi and Lao Deng as her characters, it's incredible that this girl has never been beaten to death since she was a child.

"Hey? If you are not from the underworld, how do you know what I mean?" Xiao Tang muttered, "Isn't the weird story still over? Let's go and get her, let's go!"

She walked forward a few steps with a heroic and confident look, then turned back and said, "Where is Qiaotoudong Town?"

Bai Jinshu: ...

Bai Jinshu: "This way."

"You'd better help Xiaofei first." He twitched his lips and walked ahead first.

When he saw the town with lanterns lit again, only a dozen minutes had passed since they left the teahouse.

It seems that more than ten minutes is the normal distance. They had walked for more than an hour before. It seemed that the old lady wanted him to give up.

He walked through the town according to the location he remembered and soon returned to the house.

Xiao Fei took the initiative to explain: "I just knocked on the door for a long time, but no one opened it."

"No one is driving? That's because you are too civilized," Xiao Tang rolled up his sleeves, "I'll do it!"

She walked to the door carelessly and started banging on it: "Open the door! Old man, open the door! Open the door! You have the nerve to take my eyes off me but you don't have the nerve to open the door! I know you are home!"

"Look here, neighbors! Someone has the nerve to take someone else's eyes but doesn't have the nerve to open the door! Look at who lives in this house! They don't even care about their dignity! Open the door!"

"This family is shameless! Neighbors, check to see if you have lost any limbs! He can steal someone's eyes today, and tomorrow he can steal the nose of the neighbor Mr. Wang, and the day after tomorrow he can steal the mouth of the neighbor Mr. Li! They are a complete bunch of people! So shameless! Ugh!"

"Open the door! Are you pretending not to hear me? Open the door now! If you don't, I'll call the police! You will be held criminally responsible for theft and detained for seven to fourteen days. If your three generations of direct descendants fail the political review, they will not be able to take the civil service exam! Think it over!"

Bai Jinshu: ...

Xiaofei closed his eyes in pain.

"Don't shout," Bai Jinshu said, "I don't think anyone will come out to open the door, just go in."

"Go straight in? I understand." Xiao Tang pushed the door, but it didn't open, so he had to step back a distance, took a few steps, and then kicked it open.

With a loud bang, the wooden door fell to the ground.

The author has something to say:
