"Who are these two, dear?"
Xiao Rou stood quietly behind Bai Zhou, looking at Qin Nuo and Zhang Yu with a gloomy look.
"Two friends, who are also residents of the building, came in and sat down and chatted for a while." Bai Zhou said calmly, emphasizing that they were residents of the building.
Qin Nuo and Zhang Yu both greeted Xiao Rou in a friendly manner.
Xiaorou's eyes moved between the two of them without responding. She withdrew her gaze and placed the knife in her hand on the table.
Bai Zhou looked at her and asked, "Xiao Rou, what's wrong?"
"I've encountered a difficult problem in my homework and now I'm stuck..." Xiaorou had a distressed look on her face.
"If you have any problems, just tell me and I will find a way to help you solve it." Bai Zhou said directly.
"I need a book, the latest one on anatomy, which will give me the answer to my current problem."
"You know which one it is." Xiaorou looked at Bai Zhou and said.
Bai Zhou: "I know, but the bookstore is closed at this time..."
Whether to close the door or not is not the issue; the main issue is that they can’t leave the building now.
Xiaorou suddenly smiled and said, "The uncle downstairs has some. His daughter bought them before. But this uncle is very fierce. I don't dare to go. Can you help me, dear?"
Bai Zhou didn't say anything. In Xiaorou's eyes, it was just a simple matter of borrowing a book, but for him, it was extremely dangerous.
He tried to bring his girlfriend along: "Xiao Rou, I kind of forgot the room number. Why don't we go down together?"
Xiaorou's smile suddenly disappeared, and her eyes dropped. "You know I'm on vacation now, and it hurts to go down the stairs. I just asked you to borrow a book, but you're so hesitant. Don't you love me..."
"I can go by myself. I was just joking with you. Don't take it seriously, dear!" Bai Zhou smiled and interrupted her.
Although he said so, Qin Nuo and Zhang Yu both saw the helplessness beneath that smile.
Sure enough, it’s better to be single...
What's the girlfriend doing here?
Hearing this, Xiaorou smiled and said, "I knew you wouldn't do this to me."
"Then I'll go back first. When you're done borrowing, come back immediately and don't run around!"
Bai Zhou looked at her and hesitated to ask, "Xiao Rou, you said that neighbor is unfriendly. What if he doesn't lend it to me?"
Xiaorou turned around, blinked, and said, "I don't care. You have to find a way to get it for me."
"Why are you so scared? It's just to borrow a book. Can he really eat you?"
After saying that, Xiaorou picked up the knife and returned to the room.
The door slammed shut, plunging the corridor into darkness.
Bai Zhou picked up the cup of water on the table that was originally intended for Zhang Yu and drank all the water in it.
Zhang Yu came over and patted his shoulder: "Xiaobai, I told you a long time ago that it's better to be single."
Bai Zhou said unhappily, "Instead of talking about this, how can we get the book?"
Then, he looked at Qin Nuo and said, "You said we are all on the same team, so it's not too much to go down together, right?"
"Since we're looking for the owner of that building, we can't stay in the house all the time. We have to move around a bit. Maybe we can find other clues about the owner from other neighbors."
Qin Nuo shrugged: "It's fine with me, we can go down together."
He had this plan in mind, and with the Blood-Eyed Ghost around, others didn't dare to tell him. Anyway, he felt very safe.
Since Qin Nuo wanted to follow, Zhang Yu certainly didn't dare to stay here alone. Xiao Rou might treat him as a review lesson.
After deciding to discuss it, Bai Zhou stood up and took out a black pistol and a silver-shining sword from the drawer.
"Xiaobai, you... still have a gun?" Zhang Yu was stunned.
"Both of these are ghost items rewarded from the dungeon. Only these things can hurt ghosts." Bai Zhou put the pistol on his waist, picked up a roll of tape, and wrapped his hand with the sword to prevent it from slipping out of his hand when he swung the sword.
He looked up at the two of them and asked, "Didn't you bring any weapons with you?"
"Yes." Zhang Yu opened his coat.
Bai Zhou looked at Qin Nuo, who was wearing thin clothes and had nothing in his hands.
Qin Nuo smiled slightly: "Don't worry about me, I just have a pair of hands."
Bai Zhou looked at Qin Nuo, thinking he was being stubborn. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "I have another magical item here, but it's a small knife..."
Qin Nuo shook his head: "It's useless. Don't waste time. Let's go."
Bai Zhou looked a little puzzled, but didn't say anything else.
The door was pushed open, and three beams of light shone on the dim corridor. Bai Zhou observed it and confirmed that everything was fine, then walked towards the stairs.
Tap tap tap!!
But before the three of them reached the stairs, they heard hurried footsteps.
Then, Qin Nuo and the others saw a yellow figure rushing up from downstairs. It was so fast that in the blink of an eye, it passed through the floor and rushed upstairs...
Like a yellow lightning, the speed is extremely amazing!
Its sound could still be heard faintly in the corridor.
"It's too late! It's too late!"
The three of them were a little confused.
"Who was that just now?" Zhang Yu asked.
"They should be the neighbors in the building. They have become NPCs in the haunted building, so it's not surprising that they behave strangely." Bai Zhou said as he walked towards the stairs.
Going down the corridor to the first floor, the corridor was even cooler and more chilling. My first feeling upon descending was as if I had descended into a morgue...
Zhang Yu came down the stairs and stepped on something sticky, feeling nauseous.
Zhang Yu smelled something and couldn't help but feel nauseous. "What's that smell? It's so stinky?"
Qin Nuo also smelled it and shone the flashlight on a door next to it, room number 101: "It feels like a rotten smell, coming from this room."
"I remember this is the security guard's room downstairs."
Zhang Yu looked at the room with a look of astonishment.
Thinking of what his mother had said about the security guard's recent setbacks and physical discomfort, he couldn't help but have a thought in his mind: "Could the security guard have already..."
Although he thought so, he didn't dare to knock on the door. Who knows what the security guard who opens the door looks like?
Over there, Bai Zhou did not stop and shone the flashlight on the room numbers one by one.
Soon, he stopped.
Looking up at the house number in front of him, Bai Zhou said, "This is it."
He glanced at Qin Nuo and Zhang Yu, hid the sword behind him, and knocked on the door.
No response.
Bai Zhou could only knock twice more.
Now, a voice came from behind the door.
A very low voice.
"What's up?"
"We are neighbors upstairs. We came down to borrow something. Could you open the door?" Bai Zhou tried to make his voice friendly.
Zhang Yu also said in a friendly tone: "Good neighbor, excuse me for disturbing you for a few seconds."
After a moment of silence, the door opened.
A fat, middle-aged man with a bare upper body and covered in tattoos looked at Qin Nuo and the other two with an indifferent expression on his rough face. "Tell me, what's the matter?"
