Chapter 16 Hot Spring Bath (4)
=========
Unexpectedly, this time the ghost girl's head collided with the bottom of the pot, but she only staggered. Not to mention fainting, she didn't even fall down.
The female ghost was obviously well prepared, and maybe all the wages she got from working were used to strengthen her head. But even though she had become more resistant to beatings, she was still extremely angry at Yi Han's behavior!
“Mmmm!!” she screamed angrily, reaching her hand out of the door and trying to grab Yi Han’s face.
Yi Han actually had a choice at this time, which was to kick the door shut again while she was stretching her hand out. With the female ghost's lightning-fast (? ) movement speed, even her arm might be clamped off.
But this is too cruel... After all, the other party is a girl (?), and she is working so hard to avenge the blow on Yi Han's head. Yi Han admires their positive spirit very much, so he thinks that such a cruel move should not be used on her.
So he stretched out the pot again, giving up the insidious method of clamping her arm, and instead slapped the pot directly at her face. This time, Yi Han used the side of the iron pot. Originally, his arm was longer than the ghost girl's. The ghost girl was suddenly slapped, and her forward momentum immediately stopped. Although she still tried to move forward, her little hands kept grabbing, but she was blocked by Yi Han, so she could only be pushed inside the door, unable to reach...
"Do you have a rope?" The female ghost was quite strong. Last time at the novice level, Yi Han almost lost in a contest of strength with her. So, not wanting to get into a stalemate, he turned to ask his teammates.
At this time, the people behind him also recovered a little. Seeing that Yi Han had subdued the evil spirit, they hurriedly looked for ropes. Unfortunately, ropes are something that you can find everywhere when you don't need them. When you really need them, you find that no one has them.
In the end, it was the woman in the couple who secretly coaxed her shy boyfriend while offering a piece of red rope.
"Maybe not very strong..." she said.
Yi Han: ...
Now is not the time to worry about the mysterious purpose of this rope... Yi Han wrapped it around a few times and tied up the female ghost. To be on the safe side, he also dislocated her arm joints first.
The female ghost was unable to use any strength and could not stand up, so she could only squat on the ground and stare at Yi Han angrily. After a lot of struggle, her hair that had been covering her face fell apart, and Yi Han realized that she was not very old - and she looked a bit like the female ghost who had just mixed into the team and disguised as "Yanyan". Maybe they were sisters in their previous lives.
"Are all four of you here this time?" Yi Han placed the iron pot in front of her, squatted down, faced her, and asked as gently as possible.
Unfortunately, the female ghost just stared at him and didn't say anything.
"Besides you, there should be other people in this level. Where are they hiding?"
This time, the female ghost just shook her head, with a look of "I won't tell you" written all over her face, and she didn't even want to look at him.
Seeing this, Yi Han had no choice but to move closer to her and change his posture.
"It's no coincidence that you're here. It seems like you've spent a lot of points to get revenge on me, right?" Yi Han said softly. "The word 'points' is probably not the right word to describe you. Maybe 'grade points' or something like that would be more appropriate."
After saying this, the female ghost turned around and looked at him again.
"Since I recognized you just now, I've been thinking, there are countless levels in this escape game, and I've only passed three levels, but I've met you twice. I'm afraid it's hard to explain this probability with fate.
"So the only possibility is that I have hindered you in something important - of course not the matter of eliminating you from the novice level - so you are chasing me relentlessly.
"So, what is this matter?"
Seeing that the female ghost was completely attracted by his words, Yi Han slightly curled the corners of his mouth.
“When I was at the novice level, there was one thing I had never really figured out. Why did the system report that there were 2 players when I was the only player in the game? I thought at the time that this was fake news deliberately released by the system, but now that I see you, I understand that this is not fake.
"There are indeed two players in that level, but one is a 'human' player and the other is a 'ghost' player. This real escape game, from the beginning, is not just used to test the 'human' side. So you also have an app, a points system, and you can also strengthen your body and abilities through hard work.
"It's just that the process is probably much more difficult than ours. That level is just an ordinary level for me, but for another player, the one who has been following me, it may be a rare opportunity - I guess it's not easy for him to get this chance to challenge the level as a 'player'.
"That's why there will be a woman at the end of the level who is obviously not on the same side as you. Her mission is not only for me, but also for the other player. To some extent, she can be considered as the common 'examiner' for both players. So this time, she didn't come with you.
"Although I don't know what he lost in that crushing defeat, it's normal to miss opportunities as you are not as skilled as others. It's pointless to hold a grudge like this. After all, no matter how many times you come, it seems you still can't beat me." Yi Han said calmly.
The young female ghost had her eyes wide open in surprise.
Yi Han knew that his guess was basically correct...
He didn't ask if there were any ghost players among the 8 "players" in this game. Because even if he asked, she wouldn't tell him, and Yi Han could definitely find them out on his own. He just wanted to sigh that the pressure of working as a ghost was really great, and it wasn't easy to do any job...
These ghosts must have worked hard to get revenge on him. If they are knocked offline again, their performance points will probably be deducted again. Seeing that she couldn't break free, Yi Han didn't make things difficult for her anymore - he planned to keep this ghost as bait to lure the other ghosts so that he could knock them all together.
"Just leave her here for now. I may need her for other things later." He stood up and explained to his teammates behind him.
After this ghost was caught, the one outside the door ran away, but Yi Han believed that she could not run far, and the male ghost should still be in the hall. After a brief discussion, everyone decided to search according to the previous arrangement.
After everyone left, Yi Han looked at the open bathroom door. He suddenly remembered that the last time the female ghost stayed under the desk and refused to give way, she was guarding the recipe. So this time she appeared in the bathroom...
Yi Han couldn't help but feel moved.
He walked around the ghost squatting in the corner and entered the door. After a while, he actually found the familiar, glowing recipe from the gap.
Only this time, the paper looked wrinkled... as if it had been specially moved here.
...It seems that these little devils are really good at holding grudges. Knowing that Yi Han wanted this, they hid in the toilet to disgust him.
[Recipe: Scrambled Eggs with Scallops (already learned)]
[Instructions: After consumption, the underwater vision will be enhanced according to the deliciousness. Duration: 2 hours.]
After incorporating it into the recipe, Yi Han raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this description.
This buff will probably be useful in this level. The hot spring area has not been fully explored yet, and there is a water park surfing pool and swimming pool behind it. If the key is hidden at the bottom of a pool, he may have to dive into the water to get it.
It's just not convenient to do it right now. Yi Han walked out the door and saw his teammates searching diligently. After thinking about it, he decided to increase the exploration degree first.
Just as he was about to meet up with everyone, Yi Han heard several screams coming from the other end of the hall. Then...
[System prompt: Due to inappropriate behavior by team members, mandatory task 1 is triggered - enter the designated hot spring pool and soak for 10 minutes. During this period, you cannot leave the pool. If the task fails, the game will be considered a failure. If the task succeeds, you can continue the game.]
"Who did what?" Yi Han walked over quickly.
Then I noticed that among the seven teammates, only the parents with the children had extremely bad expressions.
"Just now, the kid said he wanted to go to the toilet, but because there was a ghost at the door, his parents didn't want to go over. So they said why not let him pee secretly in the pool..." A female teammate whispered to Yi Han, "As a result, the task was triggered. The rest of us each designated a different hot spring pool, but for their family of three, the system specifically instructed them to soak in the pool where he almost went to the toilet just now... Hahaha!"
Yi Han: “Puff…”

A few days ago, when I was taking an online class, the teacher said this in order to draw our attention to a certain issue:
Teacher: Everyone must pay attention to this problem! Just like when you are in a swimming pool with many children around, you should not wait until you suddenly find corn kernels and enoki mushrooms floating in front of you to realize the seriousness of the problem...
We: ………………QAQ
