Xiao Zijun told everyone that they were still on the outskirts of the city, where most of the creatures were evil and malevolent. As they approached the central area, they would also frequently encounter fierce and dangerous creatures.
Their mission was not to explore the central area, but to search for special buildings on the periphery.
The pottery park we just visited was definitely a perk. Next up are those special buildings that have not yet been discovered, or have been discovered but not yet deciphered.
The dangers involved are not much less than those in decentralization.
At a certain intersection, Xiao Zijun suddenly stopped and took out a map covered with markings.
"After this intersection, the area ahead is unexplored. Our mission is to search every building and every room, to find and solve the mystery."
Everyone immediately became alert. The strange things inside the building were even more dangerous, and they couldn't take action directly; they had to try to solve the problem.
The team of thirteen was further divided into two squads, with the captain and vice-captain each leading one squad.
They would enter any building they encountered, knock on any room they came across, and force open any doors that no one answered.
If someone opens the door, it's definitely weird.
Xia Tianqiong followed the group, silently observing each room. She found that the rooms were full of signs of life, with no signs of dilapidation or even much dust.
It's like the room owner has left home for work and will come back in the evening.
Almost every room was like this, and there was even fresh food in the refrigerator.
However, upon closer inspection, one discovers that the food possesses supernatural power.
Xiao Zijun told everyone not to eat anything here, or they would go crazy or become monsters.
The town has many buildings, which are densely packed together. Most of them are empty, with only a few being strange and unusual buildings.
The team searched for more than two hours before finally finding one.
"Captain Xiao, something's fishy here!"
Fu Qing found a public toilet on the street and thought he would use it, but something strange happened inside.
So scared that he ran out without even pulling up his pants.
Xiao Zijun snapped irritably, "What's the panic! A few monsters? Did they cast rules on you?"
Fu Qing hurriedly pulled up his pants, looking a little embarrassed. "It seems there was only one. I had just taken off my pants and squatted down when a very long hand suddenly reached out from next door and asked me if I had any toilet paper."
"So what was your answer?"
"I just ran out!"
"Coward! Don't you have two fierce monsters? You don't even dare to test their strength. What kind of monster hunter are you?"
Xiao Zijun looked at Fu Qing with a face full of disgust.
Fu Qing, completely unconcerned about the other person's gaze, pointed at Xia Tianqiong with a grin and said, "Don't we have a master here? He's strong and good at breaking rules. Why don't we ask him for help?"
Xiao Zijun glared at him, then turned to look at Xia Tianqiong and immediately put on a smiling face.
"Mr. Dong, why don't you go in and give it a try?"
His tone became noticeably more polite, and after finishing, he added, "The fact that this kid was able to escape alive means that the monsters inside weren't too powerful; I estimate they weren't more than the fierce ones."
Xia Tianqiong nodded and walked into the public restroom with the ghost bride.
This is a relatively large public restroom. Directly opposite the entrance hall is a huge mirror, six or seven meters long, with a sink below it.
The men's restroom is on the left side of the lobby, and the women's restroom is on the right.
Xia Tianqiong was about to turn around and enter the men's restroom when the Ghost Bride called out to him, "There's only one here, on the right."
"..."
Xia Tianqiong looked puzzled. Why did Fu Qing go into the women's restroom just now?
Shall we go for a visit?
Without thinking much, he turned and went into the women's restroom.
"Huh? Why isn't it there?"
There were five cubicles in total. I pushed them open one by one, but I didn't see anything strange.
Xia Tianqiong looked at the ghost bride with a question in her eyes.
The ghost bride looked around but couldn't find it. "I am rejected by the rules of heaven and earth here. I can only sense the fluctuations of evil and strange auras, but I can't sense the specific location."
Perhaps the building itself is eerie, or perhaps certain conditions must be met for the other party to appear.
"Meeting certain conditions?"
Xia Tianqiong repeated these words to herself, thinking that Fu Qing only encountered the strange thing after he took off his pants and squatted down.
Should we do what he did?
"Sixiang, wait for me here."
After saying that, he went into one of the cubicles and closed the door.
I stood inside for a while, and nothing unusual happened.
After a slight hesitation, he slowly squatted down, but did not take off his pants, since Sixiang was still outside the door.
Just then, a snow-white hand suddenly reached out from next door.
The fingers were thin and long, with faint blue veins visible, and the fingertips were painted with red nail polish, making them look like they were stained with blood.
Along with that came the faint, ethereal voice of a woman.
Did you bring any tissues?
Xia Tianqiong remained calm and showed no panic. Instead, she began to ponder how to answer and how to break the deadlock.
