Chapter 39: The Sound of Water Dripping



Tick-tick.

In the silence, Su Yi indeed heard a faint sound of water coming from the bathroom.

Tick, tick.

More and more dripping...

It's already past midnight, it's very late at night, and this copy is haunted again... Su Yi frowned, his heart beating a little faster.

Bai Dashao: "Let's go and take a look first."

Bai Ye also had the same idea. At this moment, he was standing next to the mirror, at the innermost part of the cloakroom, and Young Master Bai's wheelchair was closest to the door. According to common sense, Young Master should go out first.

After waiting for a second, Bai Ye realized that Young Master Bai was standing there without moving, looking at him with a smiling face:

"Third brother, why are you still standing there? You are an expert in killing ghosts."

white night:"……"

——It turns out that the phrase "go and take a look first" meant that he should go and check whether there was any danger.

Bai Ye strode towards the door with the knife in hand. When he passed by Master Bai's wheelchair, he muttered, "Waste."

...He didn't dare to speak too loudly, for fear that Su Yi would hear him and scold him for causing trouble. Su Yi seemed to have an inexplicable regard for this disabled person.

The small TV thrown into the pile of clothes flew out with Bai Ye.

After taking a shower, Mr. Bai turned off the lights in the bathroom and living room, and walked out of the bedroom into complete darkness. Bai Ye took out a powerful flashlight from his backpack, and a bright beam of light illuminated the way ahead. The bathroom door was half-open, so he couldn't see clearly inside.

[Fuck! ! Mom, help me! I am most afraid of the first-person view opening the door! Danmu protects me, prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony...]

[Hahaha, what’s on Bai Shen’s little TV? It’s so scary. If there really is a ghost in the bathroom, it must be very scary from the ghost’s perspective. Bai Shen must come in to find it.]

Squeak.

Bai Ye's sneakers stepped on the waterproof mat at the bathroom door. He held the door handle and pushed it in...

Squeak——

The half-open door was pushed open, revealing the tiles inside. Shining a white flashlight inside, the tiles appeared pale white, and the wet moisture condensed into small water droplets on the tiles.

Click.

Bai Ye reached out and turned on the bathroom switch. The orange light came on and his shadow was reflected in the half-length mirror.

The bathroom is separated into dry and wet areas, and the bathroom part is covered with an off-white curtain so you can't see inside.

Tick, tick

The sound of water became clearer, coming from inside.

"Is there anything?"

Su Yi poked his head out from the bedroom. He was wrapped in a bath towel. The young master picked up a white suit jacket and put it on him.

"Not yet." Bai Ye replied.

[Ahhh my wife's voice! Let's see, my wife, you two stinky men!]

Under the sofa in the living room, Su Yi's small TV was wailing:

[Is there anyone whose small TV can see what his wife looks like? I’m so curious! Can Mr. Bai’s small TV see? ? ]

[No?! That guy is live streaming anonymously and can go offline at any time. He doesn’t have his little TV on now! Let’s try Baishen]

[Don’t go to Baishen! I can’t see my wife in the bathroom, and now she’s pulling the curtain in the first person view. I’m scared! Come here to hide…]

In the bathroom, there is the sound of dripping water.

The white curtains hang down, covering the unknown inside.

Bai Ye did not pull it open rashly. He looked down at the blade. There was nothing unusual about the knife in his hand. If there was a ghost, the knife would be able to sense it.

He reached out and grabbed a corner of the curtain, and yanked—

Behind the curtain is the bathtub, empty, no one? No ghost.

The shower head dropped quietly over the bathtub.

Tick-tick.

When Bai Ye shone a flashlight, the stainless steel of the shower head reflected a bright white light. Small drops of water emerged from the shower head and gradually accumulated into water droplets...

Plop, the water drops fall into the bathtub, making a sound.

[Oh my god, I was so scared! Fortunately it was a false alarm]

[The first-person perspective is really too scary. Even if it’s the White God, I’ll be scared. I’m always afraid that something will jump out…]

[But I always feel that this water sound is a bit strange. If this part is included in the plot setting, it must be a hint.]

[Actually, do you feel that this Bride dungeon is weird from the beginning? I have never seen a dungeon where a player died before the first concentrated reasoning...]

The small TV behind him was showing a heated discussion. Bai Ye curled his lips, put away the flashlight, and said to the outside:

"It's okay! It's just a leak."

He twisted the shower head and tightened it, and the water stopped dripping.

"Really?"

Su Yi walked out of the bedroom door. He was a little worried. Bai Ye was careless and impatient. Since there was no danger in the bathroom for the time being, he wanted to go in and take a look.

The sound of footsteps came closer and closer. Bai Ye quickly turned his head and the next second he saw a pretty little face appearing at the bathroom door.

"you……!"

Bai Ye was so anxious that he immediately reached out to cover the small TV behind him. He was about to say: Aren't you afraid of being seen by the audience? When the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered how Su Yi was angry at him and ignored him coldly before...

He swallowed his words back. Su Yi was now wearing a bath towel and a suit, so it could be said that she was not naked at all. Bai Ye still did not allow any audience to see it. The comments were mixed, and it was possible that someone saw Su Yi wrapped in a bath towel and was fantasizing.

[Fuck! I’m really going crazy! Bai Shen, take your hands away, let me see my wife!]

Bai Ye's palms were very big, and they covered the small TV screen tightly. He immediately turned the small TV around and faced away from Su Yi, so that Su Yi could not see anything at all.

[Wait! Did anyone see the palm of Bai Shen's hand just now? Is that... my god, what a big scar!]

[It looks like a new injury. What happened before? Is there anyone who can give me some scientific information?]

[Don’t ask, don’t tell. You will know it yourself if you are destined to.]

Bai Ye's hand was injured when he tried to catch Su Yi's collar bomb. Now it's basically scabbed over and it doesn't hurt much anymore. His hand movements are natural. He holds a flashlight to brighten the light for Su Yi and lets him come in to observe.

Mr. Bai's wheelchair stopped at the bathroom door: "What? Is there anything unusual?"

"It seems not." Su Yi said. The sound of dripping water stopped when Bai Ye tightened the shower head.

But he always felt that something was wrong.

"Since everything is fine, why don't we go to bed early?" Young Master Bai turned and looked at Young Master Bai San:

"Third brother, why don't you go back first? We can study the mirror tomorrow. It's almost time now. It's not a good time to mess with the mirror. Su Yi and I are also very sleepy."

The word "no" was about to come out of his mouth. Bai Ye was about to say that there was no way he could leave Su Yi here alone, but he received Su Yi's gaze.

Bai Ye thought for a moment, reorganized his words, and said, "Okay, you guys go to sleep, I'll stay in the cloakroom and watch the mirror, in case one of you is the murderer and tampers with the mirror at night."

Bai Dashao: "What if you are the murderer?"

Bai Ye: "Then why don't we just open the cloakroom door? The three of us can keep an eye on each other."

Young Master Bai smiled and jokingly said, "Just what you want, right? It's amazing that you can come up with such a wishful thinking."

Su Yi knew in his heart that with Bai Ye's stubborn temper, it was impossible to get him to go back to his room and sleep tonight. Since this guy wanted to make trouble, he would just let him sleep in the cloakroom. Su Yi tried to smooth things over:

"Since he wants to look at the mirror, let him do it. He can testify to the other players tomorrow."

Close the bedroom door and dim the lights inside.

After taking off his bath towel, Su Yi got back into the warm bed. He slept on the side close to the cloakroom, while Mr. Bai slept on the other side.

Bai Ye sat in the pile of clothes, holding the knife and taking a rest. From time to time, he opened his eyes to see if Su Yi on the bed was okay.

What does he not care about? The mirror. As long as he stays in the cloakroom and opens the door, the old man will never dare to do anything even if he lies on the same bed with Su Yi.

In order to prevent the audience on the barrage from seeing Su Yi sleeping, Bai Ye turned the small TV towards himself, with colorful pictures on it:

[The eldest young master is really a good-tempered queen. He can actually tolerate three people sleeping in the bedroom on the wedding night? ...]

[Bai Shen! You are indeed my ex-boyfriend. My wife is already in my arms, but you still make her leave me alive?! I want to climb the wall and stand in front of Master Gong!]

[Am I the only one who feels that Bai Shen might not even be his ex-boyfriend? When I heard their conversation before, it felt like they were two different people... I don’t think they match up]

Bai Ye felt even more annoyed when he saw this, and immediately set the [Mute Everyone] function. Su Yi was just irritated by him, so he said some crazy things like "She is not familiar with him" and "Have they spoken twenty sentences to each other?"

Silence spread in the bedroom.

It was quiet all around. After about fifteen minutes, Bai Ye slowly closed his eyes and took a nap.

Years of fighting had made him alert even in his sleep, and his keen hearing quickly caught the sound of: tap, tap, tap…

It's the sound of footsteps.

Coming from the entrance of the secret passage.

Bai Ye suddenly opened his eyes. Someone is approaching here!

He gripped the knife tightly and stood up.

Su Yi, who was sleeping facing the cloakroom, felt his unusual movement and opened his eyes to look over inquiringly.

Bai Ye made a hushing gesture, pushed aside the pile of clothes, walked to the entrance of the secret passage, and prepared to raise his knife...

squeak!

A square wall was pushed open, and a person came out from inside, and said in a joking voice:

"Wow, it's so lively."

Su Yi and Mr. Bai sat up from the bed and looked into the cloakroom. A tall man came out of the secret passage.

The second young master magician was wearing a navy blue robe and a clown mask on his head. He smiled and made a gesture of surrender:

"Hey, Third Brother, why are you so fierce and holding a knife? I didn't know you were here too. If I knew, you would definitely not come. If I didn't come, you would be fighting with Big Brother for your sister-in-law. Once I come, the situation will change completely. If it is exposed, people will think that we, the three brothers of the Bai family, share a wife."

Bai Ye: "Get lost."

Su Yi blushed and shrank into the quilt, not wanting to even look at such a wicked magician.

Young Master Bai was too lazy to get angry. With his experience, it was not necessary to get angry with these two little brats. On the contrary, he would lose his composure in front of Su Yi. He asked calmly:

"What are you doing here?"

"I can't sleep, so I came out for a walk."

The magician stretched out his hand and straightened the mask. The clown mask was smiling strangely: "Didn't you hear? The sound of water dripping, dripping, it's so annoying."
