Lu Ban felt as if his head was being kicked wildly like a ball, shaking violently. Countless knowledge and nonsense overflowed from his brain, as if his skull would not be able to bear the burden and explode in the next moment.
Lu Ban saw a sky full of stars, the brightest ones of which formed a strange pattern, like some kind of giant monster. He looked carefully and found that it was not an illusion.
Those stars are parts of that huge monster whose body is more than tens of millions of light years in size. They, or rather, they are sleeping in it, and only move their position slightly in units of tens of billions of years, just like humans turning over in their sleep.
When he realized this, countless whispers rang in Lu Ban's ears again, but these whispers were disorganized, as if they came from countless worlds.
"... Water, I need water. This is so strange. I drank so much water, but why am I still thirsty? No, don't stop me. I want to drink water. Give me water, give me water..."
"…It killed my mother first. When its long, straw-like mouth pierced into my mother's ear, I knew that everything was over. In less than a minute, my mother's eyes rolled up and her whole body shrank. I knew, I knew, it would be my turn next…"
"...She is not hope at all. She is just a scourge. Everything is directed at her. Have you seen her face at night? That was, that was... Ahhhh, don't come over here, don't come over here..."
"...It was very strange. When we found the body, both of his eyes and half of his liver were missing. His body looked like it had been pried open by something, and his ribs were all turned outward. I know it's a bit rude to say this, but I think they were like flowers..."
"…Anyone who has seen this painting will go crazy. I don't recommend you to lift the curtain. Yes, its previous owner, a singer, committed suicide the day after the painting was taken. She hanged herself on the lamp in the hall. She was not wearing any clothes, and her whole body was covered with blood that came from nowhere…"
"...eyes. I am sure I saw eyes. They were on his body, on the seat, and on, on your body. No, don't come near me. I want to poke these eyes out. I want to drive them all away, all away..."
In the polluted tide that seemed to be swept by strong winds and huge waves, Lu Ban could only faintly feel that he was bleeding.
Even the grass in his body couldn't hold back the blood gushing out of Lu Ban's body. He fell to the ground with a thud, without even an instinctive twitch, and his whole body froze on the ground as if he was dead.
Black and gray smoke surrounded Lu Ban, but he did not move at all.
A few strands of hair poked out from under the bed, and an eye stared at Lu Ban who lay motionless.
Soon, grass grew on all the wounds on Lu Ban's body.
These plants absorbed his blood crazily, as if they were nourished by celestial dew, and grew rapidly, soon becoming more than three feet tall.
The mournful sound of the erhu came from an unknown building. The unskilled practiced tune actually added a lot of atmosphere to Lu Ban's situation.
Snap, Snap——
Laika ran into the room from the living room. When it saw Lu Ban wrapped in grass and trees, it suddenly melted.
It only took a second to transform from a corgi into a monster made of flesh and blood. When the hound's true face appeared, Lu Ban's room suddenly became quiet.
The hound came to Lu Ban, stretched out two tentacles, and gently rubbed Lu Ban's head.
Immediately, the grass and trees on Lu Ban's body began to shake, as if swept by a strong wind, making rustling sounds, and then quickly withered.
Lu Ban twitched and woke up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a huge eye surrounded by tentacles staring at him, accompanied by the sound of flesh and blood squirming.
"Thanks."
Lu Ban made a sound of thanks.
He got up.
Looking around, the entire room was stained with his blood.
“It’s a little difficult to clean.”
Lu Ban thought about it, took out his cell phone, and found the phone number of a local cleaning company.
I called and a man answered the phone.
"Hello, this is Jiangcheng Jiaran Housekeeping Service. How can I help you?"
"Oh, it's like this, my house needs cleaning, probably just one room, there are some stains, sheets and quilts and so on."
Lu Ban explained the situation.
"Can you tell us what the stain is so we can prepare the corresponding cleaning agent?"
The other party asked again.
"It's blood."
After Lu Ban finished speaking, he could hear the other party obviously stunned for a moment, as if he bumped into something.
"...Let me confirm, are the quilt and sheets in the room stained with blood?"
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Lu Ban heard another dial tone coming from the phone, but the keystrokes were very short, as if there were only three.
"Yes, because of the heavy bleeding, even the mattress is stained with blood. It's quite cold now, and it's too troublesome to change the mattress. By the way, do you provide wall cleaning service here?"
Lu Ban answered truthfully.
"Provided, provided."
The other party answered repeatedly.
"What about the fees?"
Lu Ban asked again.
"Well, for a whole room, our charge is 70 yuan an hour, and it will probably take two to three hours."
The other party answered.
"It's a bit expensive...or else I should look for another store."
Lu Ban felt that seventy yuan an hour was too expensive, and if all else failed, he could just wash it himself.
"...Well, I will keep him steady...Ah, wait, sir, I forgot to tell you that since this is your first time, we will give you a discount. The charge for each hour can be reduced by 70%...50%!"
The other party picked up the microphone hurriedly, as if he had just finished talking to someone.
"Fifty percent off, that's not bad, when can you come?"
Lu Ban thought that this store was quite kind. First-time customers could get a 50% discount, so it was only 35 yuan per hour, which he felt was acceptable.
Although Lu Ban has a lot of money, he is not stingy and would not worry about the price. He mainly hopes that everything in this world can find its own value. For example, seventy yuan an hour for cleaning is obviously too high. If such cleaning services can still find customers, then those cleaning companies that charge fifty yuan an hour will lose money.
Lu Ban bargained in order to make every effort worthwhile.
After telling the other party his address, Lu Ban went to the bathroom to wash his face.
After waiting for a while, Lu Ban heard a knock on the door.
"Please open the door. I'm here to clean your house."
Lu Ban opened the door and immediately saw a cleaning staff in blue clothes and three policemen behind him.
"Don't move!"
the policeman yelled.
