Fu Qing committed a grave offense against the Ghost Bride.
They actually want to find other female ghosts for Xia Tianqiong? Isn't that courting death?
He must be strangled!
Just as the Bride was about to lose her temper, Xia Tianqiong transmitted her voice, "Sixiang, this person is not worth your time. I'll deal with him when the time is right."
The ghost bride nodded silently, glared at Fu Qing and the alluring female ghost beside him, and then turned her head away.
Xia Tianqiong couldn't help but smile; she really did look like a jealous little wife.
He looked at Fu Qing with a half-smile, "Put away your female ghost, I'm not interested."
Disappointment flashed in Fu Qing's eyes. He shrugged, put away the female ghost, and turned to leave.
The group of thirteen people walked left and right on the empty street for about ten minutes before finally stopping somewhere.
Xiao Zijun's face was beaming with joy as he pointed to the two-story building in front of him and introduced it to everyone.
"This is the only special building in the vicinity. We have figured it out, and the rules for breaking it are written on the notice board. It poses no danger to you; consider it a free bonus."
As everyone looked at it, the two-story building was quite simple and exquisite, with transparent glass curtain walls on both the first and second floors.
Standing on the street, you can see everything inside, and even the street behind the building.
A sign hangs on the rooftop with six large red characters that read "Children's Pottery Paradise".
There was a black signboard outside the door with many lines of text written on it, and you could tell from the handwriting that it wasn't written by one person.
Xiao Zijun told everyone that the previous ghost hunters would put up a sign like this outside the door when exploring special buildings, recording the solution methods, and even the methods of failure, in order to remind those who came later.
The crowd gathered around the notice board to read its contents.
This is a place for children to play with clay.
You can use clay to make small figures, animals, cups, bowls, and plates, etc. It's mainly for fun and not a place to sell pottery products.
Through the bright floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see four or five adults with their children playing in the mud.
They chatted and laughed, enjoying themselves immensely, a scene brimming with the warmth of daily life.
If you didn't know they were supernatural, you might mistake them for humans!
According to the signs, these strange creatures resemble NPCs from a game.
They will only apply rules to you when you get close, just like issuing a quest.
The Children's Clay Paradise contains nine strange creatures, including parents, children, and shop assistants, but only one of them—a parent, a child, and a shop assistant—can cast rules.
The others are like NPCs without any quests; as long as you don't attack them, nothing will happen.
This is completely different from the eeriness outside the scene.
After everyone watched for two or three minutes, Xiao Zijun finally spoke, "There are three death rules inside. The ones for parents and shop assistants have already been solved. Have you all memorized them?"
He paused briefly and glanced around at everyone.
"If you follow the decryption method and crack these two strange things, you will obtain a strange object, which we call sculpting clay. It's a very magical thing, and that's the benefit we're giving you."
The group looked at each other in bewilderment, thinking that the benefits would be handed out directly to them, but it turned out that they had to figure out the rules themselves.
But thinking about it, I'm quite happy, since they've already told me how to solve it, and I just need to follow their instructions.
Looking at the scene inside the glass, Fu Qing couldn't help but ask, "What level are these strange things? Are they dangerous?"
Xiao Zijun's smile faded slightly, as if he didn't like the question.
"The child who hasn't cracked the rules is a fierce ghost, while the others are all malevolent ghosts. As long as we follow the rules and don't act recklessly, everything will be fine."
"Alright, let's not waste time. Who wants to go first? We'll explore other places afterwards."
Upon hearing the ominous tone, the crowd became somewhat apprehensive.
We looked at each other, neither of us willing to go first.
Xiao Zijun casually pointed at Fu Qing and said with a forced smile, "You're the one. Go and set an example for everyone."
Why me?
Fu Qing's expression was exaggerated, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Xiao Zijun's smile vanished, his eyes widening. "Have you already forgotten what Manager Bai said? You must obey orders!"
As he spoke, the contract monster behind him suddenly released its aura, enveloping the surroundings.
Everyone was shocked; this was a formidable and mysterious creature.
Fu Qing subconsciously swallowed and took a half step back. He felt like he was on a pirate ship and now he had no choice but to move forward.
"Hehe, of course I remember to obey orders, I'll go right now."
He was also a man of flexibility, and immediately put on a playful and cheerful expression, turning around and heading towards the Children's Pottery Paradise.
Before he went in, Xiao Zijun gave him a special instruction: "Remember, don't do anything else unnecessary, and don't try to solve the unsolved mystery. That way you can come out alive."
Fu Qing went inside, and people outside could clearly see his every move through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Everyone watched intently, eager to see what he would do.
The result seemed really simple; nothing unexpected happened.
Fifteen or sixteen minutes later, Fu Qing came out with two lumps of mud, his face beaming with joy.
"Haha, you'll never guess what magical properties this sculpting clay has."
Everyone became curious when they saw his appearance.
He would answer without waiting for anyone to ask.
"Applying this mud to the body can temporarily soften certain parts of the body, making them more malleable."
For example, you can apply it around your calves and then gently pull it out to lengthen your calves and even change your height. Isn't that amazing?
It is truly amazing to be able to alter parts of the body, making it as malleable as clay.
