Chapter 72 Nightmare Community
Facing the silent Bai Jin and the human cub held by the scruff of the neck in his hands, Xu Zhiyan showed no sign of abnormality.
He looked down at the tip of his shoe, looking like someone who had just done something great and needed praise.
"These dolls move when you wipe them, so they may not be wiped clean enough."
Is Xu Zhiyan really as calm as he appears?
No, he is panicking now!
Although it wasn't obvious on his face, his palms holding the rag had begun to sweat.
This pervert used fishing line to tie up the body.
The transparent fishing line was slippery and tight on my hand.
Xu Zhiyan originally just wanted to show his stupidity and ignorance, just wiping it a few times to establish his character as a stupid little lamb.
It would have been fine if I hadn’t touched it, but once I touched it, something bad happened!
The bodies were tied loosely, and they bumped into each other. He just touched them once, and the whole display above the table began to sway, as if it were some kind of dance party.
By the time he was frantically trying to get the corpses to stop, the movements of the corpses hanging on the table were already similar to Bai Jin's unfinished painting... It couldn't be said to be exactly the same, but it could be said to have nothing to do with it.
But now that things have come to this, Xu Zhiyan can't put it back, so he can only bite the bullet and wipe it randomly.
"dad!"
Xu Xiaohua's aggrieved voice broke the silence of Room 1402.
Bai Jin let go of his hand, without even taking off his shoes, and even without caring about the human cub that had fallen to the ground, he quickly walked towards his unfinished work.
He looked down at the painting, then looked up at the table.
Not only were the bloodstains that he had carefully arranged gone, but even the movements and the order in which the bodies were placed were completely different!
Xu Zhiyan threw the rag away, half-knelt on the ground, and hugged Xu Xiaohua who was rushing towards him like a cannonball. He looked at the small tuft of hair on the back of the girl's head and swallowed his saliva.
Good girl! If this pervert gets mad, you must protect your daddy!
On the other side, Xu Xiaohua threw herself into her father's arms, feeling very aggrieved.
"Wow, wow, wow, I thought daddy didn't want me anymore. I was so scared, daddy..."
"It's okay, it's okay. Dad has been chatting with the neighbor uncle for too long." After saying that, Xu Zhiyan secretly glanced at Bai Jin.
Seeing that the other party was still standing in front of the canvas with a serious expression, he couldn't help but whispered, "This uncle is a very good man. He said he would take us in and let us live in a big house!"
"Really?"
Xu Xiaohua looked horrified.
She had forgotten why she was held in the uncle's hand just now, but fear was inexplicably imprinted in her mind.
"Of course it's true!"
Xu Zhiyan had a mysterious smile of an old father on his face.
After hearing the conversation here, Bai Jin looked at the beautiful young man who exuded the aura of the Virgin Mary, and his gaze finally fixed on the other's face.
never mind.
Pure beauties always receive more preferential treatment.
He pushed up his glasses, reached out to take the unfinished painting off the easel, and piled it casually aside. His expression gradually returned to normal.
"I'll clean up here. You guys sit in the side hall and wait for me."
Xu Zhiyan knew that this matter was over and felt relieved.
"How can this be so embarrassing..."
He looked at Bai Jin who was rolling up his shirt sleeves, and said sorry, but he kept walking towards the side hall.
Everyone on the barrage was on the verge of dying of laughter.
【Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! 】
[I can’t take it anymore. If I die, I will die of laughter in this live broadcast room! ]
【This art dog cannot accept this at all! 】
[The perverted artist can’t even hide his desire to stab Xiao Baiwan, hahaha]
[Xiao Baiwan: I don’t have any bad intentions. I just want to help you! (Spreading hands)
[That perverted brother must have killed Xiao Baiwan a hundred times in his heart hahahahahahaha]
[Haha, after all, I made a mess of the unfinished still life for you]
[It seems like he really loves Xiao Baiwan's face! ]
[+1 to the above, the perverted painter stared at Xiao Baiwan’s face for a long time before deciding to let him go hahahaha]
[But this pervert is really... Ugh, a little disgusting! ]
1402 is not a small area.
A small space is separated near the window of the hall, which is used as a side hall for the host to have private conversations.
The hall was completely transformed into a studio, with a huge still life table in the center for the owner to paint.
The walls of the entire hall are covered with paintings.
Almost every painting is filled with blood and death.
From bright red to dry black.
These paintings speak to the inner world of their owners.
The only thing left on the wall in the middle of the living room is a square blank area.
No one knows what paintings will be hung here.
After Xu Zhiyan confirmed that Bai Jin really went to clean up the bodies himself, he hid in the side hall and called up Xu Xiaohua's panel.
[Name: Xu Xiaohua]
【Age: 4 (not in school)】
[Favorability: 0]
It was probably originally negative, but returned to zero after being beaten by Bai Jin.
He breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly picked up the fruit on the table, peeled it and gave it to Xu Xiaohua to eat, in an attempt to increase her favorability.
Xu Xiaohua has not yet recovered from the sad news.
"Dad, do we really want to... live together? Aa ...
"Of course, Mr. Bai is a good man!"
Xu Zhiyan said this with a smile, and stuffed half a peeled dragon fruit into Xu Xiaohua's mouth, ignoring Xu Xiaohua's helpless look.
Glancing at the system pop-up window that kept showing reminders of Fatherly Love +1, his eyes darkened.
Just now when Bai Jin went to catch the violent version of Xu Xiaohua, Xu Zhiyan did a basic exploration of 1402.
Apart from the living room and the side hall, the only other accessible places are the kitchen, bathroom and utility room. All other rooms are tightly locked.
Although he didn't find the safe house, he did see a lot of rare ingredients in the kitchen.
Various dried seafood that cannot be bought with money are piled up casually.
If he could exchange these for money, would he be able to find a safe house to recycle the slices and successfully bring Xu Xiaohua to live in a big house?
Moreover, the background of this copy is an ordinary community, which means that the role of "money" is very clear.
Just as he was imagining a better life in the future, his cell phone suddenly rang.
Xu Zhiyan frowned, took out his cell phone from his pocket, and looked at the content on it. His expression was not very good.
A text message appeared on the old electronic screen.
【The order assistant is serving you! 】
【Order number: 1208233453-68】
[Business address: No. 119, Meiyun Road, sweet honey flower clams, vermicelli and baked sweet potatoes (in Meimeng Community)]
[Customer information: 1202, Unit 3, Building 12, Meimeng Community, Mr. Liang, Tel. 19...]
【Delivery time: before 24:00:00】
【Please do not exceed the time limit! 】
[Estimated profit of this order: 26.21]
At the same time, a pop-up window popped up on the game system.
[Congratulations to the player for receiving the first order after becoming a rider! ]
【Would you like to check the takeaway delivery rules? 】
"Rules? Does food delivery also require rules?" Xu Zhiyan was skeptical and clicked on the food delivery rules.
【Delivery rules are as follows】
【1. You can reject orders after midnight. 】
【2. When delivering the goods, please make sure that the recipient is the customer himself. 】
【3. Make sure your customers are human. 】
【4. Make sure you don’t pick up the wrong order. 】
【5. Please make sure that the food you take is edible for humans. 】
[Once you complete five orders, you can unlock other rules. ]
“…”
Xu Zhiyan glanced over the rules and felt his head buzzing.
This rule brings a lot of information.
Firstly, orders placed after midnight can be rejected, which means there must be something wrong with those orders.
And the first order given to him to test the waters is just before midnight, so there is a high probability that there will be no danger in this order.
The more interesting ones are the following four tips.
Don’t send to the wrong place, don’t pick up the wrong thing.
Make sure the food is for human consumption and make sure the recipient is human.
Does that mean that there are non-human 'creatures' living in this community?
Not only will those "creatures" place orders for takeout, but merchants will also prepare extra food for them.
But compared with all these, what made Xu Zhiyan even more upset was that there was less than half an hour left before the first order in his rider career was overdue!
He cursed in his heart, but put down the fruit he was feeding Xu Xiaohua and turned to go to the living room.
“…Mr. Bai, do you need help? Hey? Have all these dolls been taken down?” Xu Zhiyan looked at the living room in astonishment.
Bai Jin stood barefoot in front of the still life table, wearing white medical rubber gloves.
There was some blood on his partially exposed chest.
Bending down to untie the fishing line tied to the corpse, Bai Jin piled the corpse on the ground casually, as if he was dealing with a pile of garbage.
When he heard this name, his hand, which was removing stitches, paused and he almost cut the skin of the corpse with the scissors.
"Well, I don't need these dolls anymore."
Looking back at the young man, Bai Jin had a half-smile on his face and emphasized the pronunciation of the word "doll".
Xu Zhiyan nodded and patted his chest with a silly and innocent look.
"Great! I was just worried about how hard it would be to clean these dolls!"
As he spoke, he picked up a vase from the high table beside him, shook it in his hand, and intended to recommend Bai Jin to paint this.
"I think this vase is very beautiful, and it should be very good if it is painted."
Bai Jin nodded, his smile gradually deepening.
"Do you want to learn? I can teach you to draw."
"Really? That's great!" Xu Zhiyan looked extremely interested, but couldn't help sneering in his heart.
When he talked about painting, he couldn't help but think of an afternoon in the safe house.
I clearly intended to use letter writing to improve the favorability of the Friendship Pen, but for some reason I ended up drawing with Party A for the entire afternoon.
Afterwards, he still remembered that when Qu Ji mentioned those paintings, he said "exquisite paintings" and "draft paper"!
Thinking of this, Xu Zhiyan looked at Bai Jin, who nodded and bent down again to deal with the corpse, and pondered quietly.
Can artistic cells be sliced separately? This is too perverted!
Before putting the vase back, Xu Zhiyan couldn't help but take a glance inside and instantly gave up the idea of painting the vase.
This empty vase contains nothing else but a lot of human ears.
Different skin colors, different skin types, different sizes.
Xu Zhiyan was not mentally prepared before seeing it and almost threw the vase away.
Fortunately, he remembered that there was a pervert in front of him, and he carefully put the vase back to its original place.
After Xu Zhiyan slowly walked to the gate and changed his shoes, Bai Jin finally dealt with the corpse in his hands.
The man stood up straight, took off his rubber gloves and threw them into the trash can. He looked at Xu Zhiyan who was putting on his shoes secretly, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Xu Zhiyan listed a few things in his mind that might be useful if Bai Jin refused to let him go out.
After making sure everything was safe, he spoke slowly.
"My phone just notified me that an order had come in. I have to go out and deliver the last order of the day."
After saying that, he raised his head and waited for Bai Jin to refute.
But who would have thought that Bai Jin not only did not stop him, but followed him to the door.
“It’s cold outside.”
As he spoke, the man took out a black scarf from the cabinet above the shoe cabinet, lowered his head and carefully tied it around the neck of the young man who was about to go out.
Xu Zhiyan froze in place.
Just let him go like that? Can't you see this pervert is quite confident? Aren't you afraid that he will call the police?
He felt a little uncomfortable because he couldn't use the speech he had prepared in advance, as if he couldn't accept such a kind-hearted pervert.
Make sure the scarf fits tightly to prevent cold air from getting in.
Bai Jin smiled.
"Be safe. When will you be back? Your daughter and I will be waiting for you."
"Okay, okay."
Xu Zhiyan replied hesitantly, "I came back around twelve o'clock. It was an order for the community, so it was very quick."
After he went out and was blown by the cold wind, he realized it belatedly.
Daughter? Waiting with my daughter?
It turns out that it wasn't that the pervert had become kind, it was that the pervert thought he had something on him...
When Xu Zhiyan went downstairs, a brand new pink electric scooter appeared on the street.
He confirmed the order again.
The Clam Vermicelli and Roasted Sweet Potato Restaurant is located on the commercial street near the main entrance. Building 12 is not far away and it only takes a few minutes to walk there.
I think it shouldn’t be a problem to deliver it early!
He rode his electric scooter unskillfully, taking an S-shaped route, winding his way towards the gate.
There is the sound of whistling wind in my ears.
Xu Zhiyan couldn't help but shrink his neck into the scarf.
Hmm, there is a smell of perversion.
When he arrived at the commercial street, he found that it was almost twelve o'clock, but it was still very lively.
Many snack shops are open, and there are even some mobile vendors outside.
He glanced around and saw some people selling fried rice, preserved egg and lean meat porridge, and fried chicken strips...
It covers almost all the popular products in the current snack streets.
Xu Zhiyan couldn't help but sniff.
I'm a little hungry.
They entered the game at six o'clock in the evening. Although he had already improved his condition to the best before entering the game, he couldn't help but saliva when he smelled these fragrant snacks.
Fortunately, he was still thinking about his mission.
When he arrived at Huajia Sweet Potato Shop, the owner had already packed the food written on his order.
Looking at the boss's enthusiastic smile, Xu Zhiyan picked up the things and checked them carefully. After making sure that the order and food were correct, he smiled and thanked the boss and praised him.
"Boss, your business is really good. I thought I was going to rest at night, but there are still people craving your food."
The boss, who was opening the stove to check on the status of the roasted sweet potatoes, was delighted when he heard this.
He turned to look at Xu Zhiyan, who was wearing a black scarf, and took out a sweet potato from the stove and handed it to him.
"The little brother is sweet-mouthed and good-looking."
"Here! It's not easy in this cold weather, I'll give you another roasted sweet potato! It's so delicious!"
"I feel so embarrassed. How much is it, boss?" Xu Zhiyan took the sweet potato and was about to pay.
The boss quickly waved his hands to indicate that it was not necessary.
"Go deliver your takeaway quickly. You'll have a nice meal after you finish delivering it."
"Thank you very much."
Xu Zhiyan no longer refused. He happily stuffed the sweet potatoes he had gotten for free into his pocket, then rode away on his electric scooter.
New prompts appeared on the game panel.
【Congratulations to the player for successfully picking up the goods. 】
[Task: Complete the first order]
[Progress: 50%]
[Reward: Correct time (2h)]
[Note: The first order after the player becomes a rider is relatively easy.]
When he saw what was ahead, Xu Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the game knows how to proceed step by step.
The first order was indeed simple.
But later on, he almost rode his electric bike into the green belt!
[Tip: The elevator in Building 12 is under repair, please grasp the meal delivery time. ]
"No way... emergency repair?"
Xu Zhiyan suspected that the system was targeting him, but he had no evidence.
When he rushed to Building 12, he found that the elevator there was indeed out of service.
After wandering around and arriving at the emergency passage, looking at the dark stairs, and thinking about the right time that was almost given for free, Xu Zhiyan gritted his teeth, picked up the takeaway and started climbing the stairs.
The comments kept lighting the candle for him.
[It’s so tragic! It’s really so tragic! ]
【Xiao Baiwan is a bit unlucky. 】
[Hahahaha, other people also received their first task at work. I saw someone simply replied with a "received" on their phone and passed it! ]
[Yes, if we talk about bad luck, we have to look at Xiao Baiwan! ]
[These are only a few levels. Xiao Baiwan’s physical fitness is really not good. He’s starting to tremble now, hahahaha]
Ten minutes later, Xu Zhiyan climbed up and down, and finally reached the twelfth floor. He knocked on the customer's room door, panting.
"Please, is this Mr. Liang? You, you...your takeaway has arrived."
He leaned against the wall, gasping for breath.
“Squeak—”
The door of room 1202 opened, and a young man in his twenties took off his headphones, his tone full of surprise.
"Yes, yes! I didn't expect to arrive so soon. I thought we would be late today because the elevator was broken."
Xu Zhiyan did not refute. He looked at Mr. Liang carefully and handed the thing over only after confirming that he was an ordinary human being.
“Enjoy your meal.”
After saying that, he took out his cell phone, and when the time was about to expire, he pressed the "deliver" button.
In an instant, in addition to the sound of a single commission settlement coming from the mobile phone, the game panel also popped up.
[Task: Complete the first order]
[Progress: 100%]
[Reward: Correct time (2h)]
Xu Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked towards the safe passage.
He didn't rush back. Instead, he sat on the stairs to rest for a while and called up the panel to check his remaining time.
[Correct time: 10:55:12]
Players entered the game at six o'clock in the evening, and the first prerequisite task was given a correct time of three hours.
After completing the assignment at the residence, each person was given an additional twelve hours.
Since he was able to receive the first work assignment, the first assignment for others would probably not be difficult either.
By the time Xu Zhiyan had rested enough and stood up, it was already past half past twelve.
Without the mission he came for, he walked down the stairs slowly, stopping and starting.
When I got downstairs, I found that the elevator in Building 12 had been repaired, and even the "maintenance" sign outside was gone.
But looking at the elevator going up and down, he didn't regret climbing the stairs at all.
After leaving Building 12, Xu Zhiyan rode his electric bike and staggered back to the commercial street, intending to do some shopping.
The results were somewhat unexpected.
It has been less than an hour since he came here.
The bustling commercial street had gone completely dark; all the vendors had disappeared, even the roasted sweet potato shop where I had just picked up my goods had closed its shop.
The contrast between the scene just now and the current one is so huge that it is creepy.
Xu Zhiyan glanced at the deserted commercial street and headed deeper into the community.
By the time he returned to 1402, it was almost one o'clock.
As soon as I reached out and before I touched the doorbell, the door was opened from the inside.
Bai Jin stood inside the door with his arms folded, exuding a refreshing scent of shower gel. Water was still dripping from the ends of his hair. It seemed that he had taken a shower and was waiting here.
"You're out of time."
His expression was a little cold, and his tone was even colder.
The young man in front of him just now said when he left that he would be back around twelve o'clock. He thought that since it was an order within the community, it must not be too far, so he let the man go.
I didn't expect to wait for more than an hour.
"Huh?" Xu Zhiyan scratched his hair, feeling a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, I thought, I thought I could get it done quickly..."
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and took out a cold roasted sweet potato from his pocket and presented it to him with both hands.
"Because I wanted to thank you so much, I couldn't help but want to bring something back. I don't know if you like it or not."
Bai Jin, who had a cold expression just now, was a little stunned. He looked at the young man in front of him who was holding a cheap plastic bag in both hands and met his eyes.
There were some beads of sweat on the young man's forehead, and his eyes were full of anxiety.
Like a bewildered fawn.
"I love so much."
Bai Jin smiled again, took the roasted sweet potato, and pulled the cold young man in from outside the door.
Once is new, twice is familiar.
The second time he was forced to change shoes on a footstool, Xu Zhiyan was able to show shyness on his face without any emotion in his heart.
My feet are just a little itchy.
He looked down at the pervert who was kneeling on one knee and counted the number of hair whorls on his head. He planned to go back and check Party A's skull to see if it matched!
The living room had been cleaned up, the bodies on the floor had disappeared, the still life table was empty, and Xu Xiaohua was not in the side hall.
After changing into slippers and taking off his coat, Xu Zhiyan was about to go look for Xu Xiaohua when he was stopped by a voice behind him.
"Delivering food is too tiring, so you shouldn't do it anymore." Bai Jin said calmly.
He couldn't help but look at the white and tender ankles exposed under the young man's trousers.
The image of round toes and pink nails kept lingering in his mind.
The parts he has examined so far, whether it is the face, neck, hands, feet... are all very perfect and make people love them.
Anyone who owns this body should be locked up at home by him!
On the other side, Xu Zhiyan finally heard the words that stopped him from delivering takeout, and thought to himself that he was really foresighted.
"Even you look down on me delivering food?"
The belated acting skills suddenly broke out.
Xu Zhiyan turned around, bit his lip, and stared at Bai Jin.
"I earn money with my own hands, why can't I do that? Do you think you are great just because you are rich? Do you think you can decide my life for me?"
Looking at Bai Jin’s confused expression, Xu Zhiyan lowered his eyes.
He kept thinking about how the Mary Sue heroines he had seen before spoke.
'Take your filthy money?'
"I don't care about this shabby house! Xiaohua, let's go!"
As soon as he thought of this, Xu Zhiyan secretly denied it.
No, we can’t be too harsh. What if we really kick him out?
Bai Jin didn't expect that one sentence would cause such a big reaction from the young man. He looked at Xu Zhiyan who seemed to be about to cry, and slowed down his tone.
"I want to ask, how much can you make as a delivery boy in a month? I can pay you ten times the money and let you be my model..."
Before he could finish, he saw the young man suddenly burst into tears and changed his words in a panic.
"I'm sorry, I was abrupt, just pretend I didn't say anything."
He likes willing prey.
We have just started, so there is no need to be so anxious.
Bai Jin pushed his glasses and gave the young man in front of him another evaluation as "strong self-esteem".
“…”
Xu Zhiyan, who had already planned to accept ten times the price, opened his mouth and wiped away the tears that had fallen from his face in excitement when he heard the price.
Ten times, that’s ten times the salary!
He almost died on the stairs after delivering a takeaway just now...
He had already decided to ask for a huge sum of 100,000 a month, but the other party changed his mind?
