Both of them were startled and quickly opened the door and ran outside: "Sorry, please use the bathroom!"
Xiaorou watched the two people rush out of the bathroom, and with a flick of her finger, the door closed by itself.
In the living room, Qin Nuo and Zhang Yu came out and sat on the sofa for a while. Bai Zhou in the kitchen had already turned off the gas and brought out the dishes. The two did not sit and wait to eat, but got up and went into the kitchen to help.
After a while, a few simple dishes were placed on the table.
Qin Nuo and Zhang Yu sat down, and Xiao Rou also came out of the bathroom. Her lower body was wet, and blood had stained her white skirt and white shoes red.
Bai Zhou's face froze slightly when he saw this, but he still said with a smile: "Xiao Rou, please sit down. I'll serve you some food."
Xiaorou looked at the dishes on the table, frowning slightly as she asked, "Why are there no peppers on the dishes?"
Bai Zhou hesitated and said, "I just noticed that there is no chili left at home, so..."
After hearing this, Xiaorou loosened her chopsticks, which rolled on the dining table and fell to the floor.
"You should go buy some right away. You know me best. I can't eat anything without chili..."
"I have no appetite. I'd better continue reviewing."
With that, Xiaorou stood up and returned to her room.
No matter how Bai Zhou tried to persuade him, it was of no avail.
Qin Nuo and Zhang Yu sat aside, not saying a word, awkwardly scratching the soles of their shoes with their toes.
Bai Zhou sat back down, looking very worried, and said to the two of them, "Let's start eating."
"Well...I have some dried chilies at home." Zhang Yu said.
"Let's talk about it later. Xiaorou is just like that. She'll be fine soon."
"She's not like this usually. It's mainly because she's under too much pressure." Bai Zhou said with a forced smile.
"I understand... I understand..." Zhang Yu laughed.
"Eat it."
Bai Zhou picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.
After running around all night, Zhang Yu was already very hungry, so he picked up his chopsticks and started to eat voraciously.
Qin Nuo picked up a piece of tofu. The oil stains on it made him very greedy.
Bai Zhou looked at Qin Nuo and asked, "What's wrong? Is it not to your liking?"
Qin Nuo shook his head: "I just thought of something..."
After saying that, he put the tofu into his mouth and started to gobble it up.
Bai Zhou unscrewed a bottle of Jiang Xiaobai, raised his head and drank several sips.
Zhang Yu asked, "Xiaobai, don't you not drink?"
"I'm under a lot of pressure and have a lot of worries. I don't smoke, so I can only drink to relieve the stress."
Bai Zhou finished the white wine in his hand and smashed the bottle in the corner.
Qin Nuo buried his head in his food and suddenly asked, "Take advantage of this moment to tell me about your plan."
Jiang Xiaobai leaned back in his chair, looking at the oil stains on the dishes. It seemed that he really couldn't drink, and his face quickly turned red.
"Do you know why Xiaorou suddenly grabbed me?"
"Even after she became abnormal, she never hurt me. She just got angry at me. But this time..."
He unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a bloody scratch on his chest, like a knife cut through the flesh. Just looking at it made one's heart ache.
Zhang Yu's expression changed.
"She grabbed me, not because I did anything wrong, not because she was angry with me, but because she was afraid..."
"She's under increasing pressure, and she's become more and more dependent on me. The phrase she keeps saying these days is, 'If I'm gone, how will she live? How will she survive?'"
“That’s what I was thinking about as well.”
"From the beginning, I was thinking that if the copy failed, I would be doomed to die, so I would kill Xiaorou as well."
"If the words of the horror world are correct, perhaps Xiaorou and I can continue to be together in another world and live a carefree life."
Bai Zhou's expression was dull: "But I cruelly discovered... I can't kill Xiao Rou."
"In the haunted building, she will live forever, but I am destined to die."
"Unless we can crack the ghost building and complete this copy."
Zhang Yu had a strange expression on his face: "What does this... have to do with your plan?"
Bai Zhou refocused his gaze, looked at the two, and asked, "Do you think there's still hope of completing the dungeon?"
“Yes, but it’s slim.”
"I'm not afraid of death at all. What I'm afraid of is the outcome of being separated from Xiaorou."
Qin Nuo finished the rice in his bowl, put down his chopsticks, and asked Bai Zhou, "So, what do you want to say?"
Zhang Yu noticed that Bai Zhou was not in the right mood. He stood up, put his hands on the table, and said, "Xiaobai, the more times like this, the more you need to stay calm."
"My mom is upstairs too. Do you think I'm not in that mood?"
"If you give up on yourself, that's the end of it!"
"The mirror shows that there are only three of us left. The hopes of the residents of the entire apartment building are on us. At this point, do you think it's time to accept your fate?"
Zhang Yu raised his voice. He wanted to clench his fist and swing it up, but after thinking about it, he realized that if he hit him, Xiao Rou might tear herself apart first, so he held back.
After hearing this, Bai Zhou suddenly raised his head, leaned back in his chair, and reached out to scratch his head. His palms were full of fallen hair.
"Yeah, there are only three left."
"I'm also curious, besides you two, where is the other one hiding now?"
Bai Zhou spoke in a deep voice, a strange sound echoing through the air. The horrifying scratches on his chest were repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye...
