Old man: “!!!”
That's a bunch of candles, not a single candle. Is there no electricity in the dormitory?
Everyone at the base: “!!!”
"He really is rich and powerful."
"There's nothing we can do about it. Besides, Ji Sijian has always been extravagant. When we had no points and could only look at it yesterday, I could have demolished the store without even looking at his expression."
"so what?"
"So, since we have points today, shouldn't we buy as much as we can?"
"But... why did Ji Sijian buy this black donkey hoof and the talisman? They don't need to send ghosts away."
"Ji Sijian not only bought the black donkey hoof and the talismans, but he also bought several paper figurines."
"Holy crap! That paper figure was in the dark before, and I didn't notice anything. Now that it's under the light, it's too scary, right?"
"I think it's scary too. Why buy such a scary thing?"
"Maybe they want to put two on each side of the dormitory door and let them guard the gate."
"The other dormitories on the seventh floor might even ask to be moved overnight."
The old man looked at Ji Sijian in great shock. He kept putting things from the cabinet into the shopping cart in front of him as if they were not worth anything. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Old man: “…”
You bought this a lot, are you planning to use it for a lifetime?
Ye Youbai ignored Ji Sijian who was constantly picking things out. Instead, she leaned against Lie's arms, gave the old man a meaningful look, and asked, "When did you open a shop here?"
The old man thought for a long time, then shook his head.
"I forgot."
After the old man finished speaking, he raised his hand and touched the bell that had floated to his side at some point, and murmured, "It has always been here, and I have always been here."
Just when the old man was feeling extremely sad and about to express his regret, he heard Ji Sijian, who was selecting things, taunt him, "Could it be that you and this house are one?"
Old man: “…”
If you can't speak, don't speak. No one thinks you are dumb.
Because of Ji Sijian's words, the old man whose eyes were slightly red just now suddenly became less sad. He didn't intend to talk about the past. After all, he couldn't remember many things.
I don’t know if I really can’t remember it or I don’t want to remember it.
Ye Youbai looked at the extremely ancient bell floating in the air, then looked at the old man with a smile on his face, and asked, "Aren't you ready to go see the outside world?"
Old man: “???”
The question was asked in a very elegant way. The outside world was just asking him why he didn't leave here?
The old man shook his head and stood under the light. He raised his hand and pointed to the ground. Like Ye Youbai and the other students who were pulled in, he had no shadow either.
"I don't have a shadow either. Even though I'm the owner of this shop, I don't have a shadow either."
Without a shadow, there is no way to leave here.
Everyone at the base: “!!!”
"This old man has no shadow!"
"No way?"
"Look, when this old man stands under the light, he has no shadow at all."
"But... he's the owner of this shop. Isn't he an NPC in this rule-based ghost story dungeon?"
"I think we may have been misled. When we first saw the old man, we thought he was the owner of this shop and an NPC in this dungeon. Since we were sure he was an NPC in this dungeon, we didn't bother to check whether he had a shadow or not."
"So..."
"So, this old man is just like Boss Ye and the others. They are all participants who were pulled here. It's just that his identity is different from Boss Ye and the others."
"So, in other words, there might be other participants in this instance, with identities other than just students?"
"That should be the case, yes."
When Ye Youbai and the others came to this store for the first time and saw the old man, they already knew that this old man was not weird, and even less so was he an NPC in this rule-based ghost story copy.
Like them, he was a participant who was pulled in.
Just as the old man was looking at the empty ground beneath him, Ye Youbai suddenly asked, "What if I can help you find your shadow?"
Old man: “???”
Help him find his shadow?
Why should they help him find his shadow?
The old man looked at Ye Youbai who was leaning in Lie's arms with suspicion. He could feel that this woman was not simple.
Although she didn't talk much, the two men around her listened to her.
"hehe......"
The old man laughed at himself, then looked at Ye Youbai who was standing there and asked, "What do you want?"
"I wonder what that blank rule in the student handbook is about..."
The old man was stunned when he heard this and smiled slightly.
"I heard that the rules for attracting ghosts in the student handbook only appear at night. Doesn't the rule you mentioned appear?"
Ye Youbai: “…”
Old man, you ask even though you already know the answer.
Ye Youbai casually played with the long hair on Lie's chest and said lightly: "No."
"And I've tried many methods, but nothing works."
When the old man heard this, he became interested, because other children had come to him before and hoped that he could provide props to see the rule.
But unfortunately, he didn't.
