Chapter 39: Are you happy to earn money with blood? (17) “This is not…
but……
I really can’t care about so many things now!
The opponent is very powerful, and it is impossible for them to take care of everything. Compassion is unnecessary here.
Or to put it another way, Aji's decision to sacrifice a pawn to save his chariot is the most merciful!
The disciples convinced themselves of this in their hearts, and immediately followed Aji's instructions to find a stretcher, and then continued to look for the traces of the two monsters.
.
In the club's banquet hall, after drinking countless sips of red wine, Bai Ma was finally able to squeeze out from the crowd's flattery and crowds, and got a temporary respite.
She was Gongbu's youngest daughter and Ngawang's older sister, sharing the same father and mother. Although their mother did not have a legally defined "official status," the three of them enjoyed Gongbu's trust. The monks and followers of Gongbu were aware of this and naturally supported them.
Bai Ma and Awang grew up in such a star-studded environment. Awang became a complete playboy, while Bai Ma seemed to be much more sensible than him.
Her academic performance was decent, and with her father's influence, she successfully enrolled at a top university in the Lighthouse Country. After that, she became the object of even more admiration. She often felt overwhelmed by these social interactions, feeling that managing them affected her academic performance.
This attitude adds a layer of aloofness to her. As the absolute core of the Tumba family, this aloofness makes her appear both powerful and divine in the eyes of her believers.
But in reality, only Bai Ma knows what she wants. She acts so cold and bored because she knows exactly what she wants.
——She knew that this kind of "personality" would make her more dazzling in people's eyes, and would make her believers and even her father more satisfied with her. She would therefore receive more praise and more tangible resources.
The analysis of this smart girl from an evil family was completely correct. Now, having just graduated from a top university, she has become a "big shot" who ranks at the forefront of the Tumba family. Even many celebrities and politicians in the Lighthouse Country are vying to take photos with her.
Many important assets of the Tumba family were also transferred to her name, a considerable portion of which was kept secret and even her mother and brother had never seen it.
After escaping the flatterers who were chasing him, Bai Ma walked out of the noisy main banquet hall, intending to go to the bathroom first and then rest for a while in the lounge.
But when she walked to the door of the restroom on the 22nd floor, she saw a queue for the women's restroom before she even entered.
...Public restrooms are always like this: as soon as there are even a few people, the women's restroom easily forms a long line. This problem can be effectively solved by adjusting the ratio of the two restrooms, but most public places don't consider such details.
Bai Ma secretly complained about the designer in his heart, turned around and went downstairs to the bathroom on the 21st floor.
Compared with the bathroom on the 22nd floor, there were fewer people in the bathroom on the 21st floor than Bai Ma had expected, and it could even be described as deserted.
Bai Ma didn't think much about it, pushed open the door of a compartment that showed no one was there and walked in.
In the next room just a few steps away from her, an A4 paper with the rules written on it fell on the black marble floor that was so clean that it reflected light. The participant who violated the rules walked out of the cubicle silently, with a gleam in his eyes and an indescribable weird smile on the corner of his mouth.
Outside the compartment door right in front of Bai Ma, A Zhu was about to cast a spell but was stopped by Si Ling.
"What's wrong?" A Zhui looked sideways at her.
"Don't show me the rules yet." Si Ling stared intently at the wooden door. After pondering for a while, he said to the sound transmission talisman, "Xuan Chi, come here for a moment. I need your help."
There was no response from the sound transmission note. Si Ling frowned in confusion and told Ah Zhui, "Can you go find him?"
"Okay." A Zhui nodded readily and turned around to walk through the wall between the men's and women's bathrooms.
Ten seconds later, Ah Zhui came back and told Si Ling with a complicated expression: "He's not coming. He said he doesn't go into the women's bathroom."
Si Ling: “…”
OK.
Ah Zhui raised an eyebrow, speechless at Xuan Chi's response. At the same time, he looked at Si Ling curiously, "Why don't you show the rules? If you don't show the rules, she won't be included in the ghost story, and we can't do anything to her... The value bar above her head is golden!"
The golden value bar indicates that it is the main target. The three of them have only contaminated one so far, while Elizabeth has killed five or six!
A Zhui really doesn't want to miss this one.
But Si Ling concentrated and said, "The aura on her body is very strange, don't you feel it?"
"Ah?" A Zhui was confused.
The only "smell" she felt from Bai Ma was the smell of alcohol and perfume, but this was obviously not what Si Ling was referring to.
Si Ling pursed his lips and said, "She seems to have something protecting her body that no one else has. But I'm not sure, so I want Xuan Chi to take a look."
She felt that the ancient mythical beasts were knowledgeable and experienced.
However, the ancient beast refused to enter the women's restroom.
Although Si Ling felt somewhat helpless about this, he still didn't intend to force Xuan Chi to lower his moral standards. After weighing it for a while, he decided to activate the ghost story rules.
So when Bai Ma was about to push the door and walk out of the compartment, he suddenly found an extra piece of paper on the door.
"Clubhouse 21st Floor Bathroom Rules."
"——To ensure the safety of all users, please strictly abide by the following rules."
1. Each toilet cubicle is equipped with a disinfection device. For the health of you and others, please press the green button for disinfection before leaving the cubicle.
2. If you find that the toilet paper provided in the cubicle is exhausted, please press the call button on the paper box so that the service staff can replenish it in time. Thank you for your support;
3. For the health of you and others, please wash your hands before leaving the bathroom;
4. Water is the source of life. Washing hands is safe, no matter what equipment you use to wash your hands.
5. The wash basins in the bathroom are all equipped with automatic water outlets. There are no faucets that require manual control. If you see a manual faucet, please ignore it and stay away from it.
6. The bathroom is equipped with automatic hand dryers and paper towels. You can choose your preferred method of drying your hands after washing them.
7. To ensure your hands are moisturized, there are a variety of hand creams on the sink, which you can use after drying your hands;
8. The red hand cream is rose, the purple hand cream is lavender, and the green hand cream is aloe vera.
Bai Ma quickly read the rules and his eyebrows jumped.
"Ahhhhhhh!!!" A woman's heart-wrenching scream came from the compartment in the front left.
Bai Ma's face suddenly changed, and she immediately wanted to open the door and go out to see what happened, but the moment her hand touched the door lock, she calmed down.
Her eyes fell back to the page and she reread the first two rules, then turned back and pressed the green button on the toilet to disinfect it, then looked at the cardboard box nailed to the cubicle board.
Rule 2: If you find that the toilet paper provided in the cubicle is exhausted, please press the call button on the paper box so that the service staff can replenish it in time. Thank you for your support.
Although she had already used the bathroom, her habit of bringing her own tissues prevented her from using the toilet paper provided, but this did not prevent her from seeing the confusing nature of the rules at a glance.
The rule says "If you find that the toilet paper provided in the cubicle is exhausted, please press the call button on the paper box", not "If the toilet paper is exhausted and affects your use, please press the button on the paper box."
In other words, this rule is testing the user's sense of public morality, and the last sentence of the rule, "Thank you for your support," further confirms this.
Bai Ma didn't know where this set of rules came from, but as a core member of the Tumba family, she knew what happened during the day, and therefore she could guess that there was danger hidden behind this set of rules.
...Thinking about who the family's believers are, Bai Ma had to admit that the designers of the rules hit the nail on the head, so it was no surprise that there were so many victims.
But will the victim die immediately?
Bai Ma thought intently, raised his hand and pressed the call button on the tissue box.
The intercom was quickly connected, and a voice came from the other end: "Hello?"
"There is no toilet paper in the first cubicle of the women's restroom on the 21st floor. Please replenish it. Thank you." Bai Ma said calmly.
The reply on the intercom was polite but emotionless: "Yes ma'am, thank you for your support."
The next second, the call was disconnected.
"Thank you for your support" - Bai Ma carefully pondered these words that were exactly the same as the rules, and secretly judged that this probably meant that she had passed the test of this rule, so she took a deep breath, raised her hand and opened the door of the compartment.
Just before and after she walked out of the cubicle, the woman in the cubicle in front of her left also walked out.
Bai Ma subconsciously looked up, and although it was only for a moment, she saw a strange smile on the woman's face.
The moment her eyes met hers, the woman's smile disappeared. She held her breath slightly, looked at her and nodded: "Ms. Bai Ma."
Bai Ma didn't remember who she was, but responded politely: "Hello."
She hesitated, and after a moment of silence between them, she asked directly, "I seemed to hear you scream just now... Are you okay?"
"What? Screaming?" The woman was visibly stunned, her eyes evasive. "I didn't... Oh, but I heard it too. Maybe it was someone else?"
Bai Ma stared at her quietly for three seconds and smiled: "Oh, so that's it. Sorry to bother you."
The woman's expression was stiff. She forced a laugh and walked away: "I'm going back first."
After she finished speaking, she passed by Bai Ma. Bai Ma looked at her back coldly and watched her stumble away.
...She discovered it.
The woman was wondering in her heart.
She found out!
The woman's heartbeat was getting faster due to her guilty conscience.
Now even Azhu felt something was wrong - although she had no sense of the "breath" mentioned by Si Ling, she could still see Bai Ma's strange behavior.
"She seemed to be intentionally letting that woman know that she had discovered something." Ah Zhui frowned, "That doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense at all."
——No matter how Bai Ma plays the game of ghost stories, as long as she realizes that there is danger here, it makes no sense to expose herself to strangers like this.
And judging by her careful analysis of Rule 2, she obviously realized it.
"What does she want to do?" A Zhui looked at Bai Ma in confusion.
As she watched, Bai Ma calmly reopened the cubicle door behind him, took out his cell phone, took a picture of the rules page inside, and then walked towards the sink.
Six of the eight rules are related to hand washing, and there is a contradiction between 4 and 5. However, this contradiction is easy to resolve. Regardless of whether 4 is true or false, she just needs to mindlessly avoid using the manual faucet.
The really interesting ones are 6, 7, and 8.
