Chapter 75 Housekeeping and Cleaning (8)
The two bloodshot eyes were stunned when they heard such words for the first time.
Originally squeezed at the top of the wardrobe door, it slid down from there while spacing out.
Bai Ye raised his hand to catch it, feeling its warmth in his palm. These eyes had probably been removed from their sockets less than an hour ago.
"Looks like you didn't run away from home, you just got lost," Bai Ye said with a smile.
His eyes rolled around, and the sticky, moist sphere rolled in Bai Ye's palm. In no time, both hands were stained blood red.
With hands like that, I probably couldn't organize a wardrobe.
Bai Ye turned around and looked at the end of the walk-in closet, where there was a hidden door leading to the master bedroom and its attached bathroom.
He took his eyeballs to the bathroom and turned on the tap to rinse them.
While washing my hands, I also washed my eyes.
However, a strange thing happened: the eyeballs kept bleeding, and no matter how much they were washed, they couldn't be cleaned.
Bai Ye stopped and looked down at his hands.
I felt no rubbing or washing on my eyes, and the water above them stopped flowing, which made me feel disappointed.
When I feel down, the blood that flows out turns from bright red to dark red.
"Um?"
Bai Ye froze, then examined his eyeball more closely. He discovered a tiny hole, barely larger than a pinhole, in the very center of his eyeball. Blood was flowing from this hole.
However, "Whose eyes are you?" To have so much blood still wet is quite an achievement.
“If you don’t tell me, the blood has turned dark red. If this continues, it will turn black. Do you know what black blood means? It means your lives are coming to an end,” Bai Ye explained patiently.
Their eyes looked at each other, then suddenly jumped up.
Bai Ye couldn't understand what it was trying to express.
One of the eyeballs twitched so hard that it bumped against the faucet switch. As the water washed over it, the two eyeballs finally calmed down.
Then I lay flat, paralyzed, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Bai Ye was quite surprised to see a sense of contentment reflected in a pair of eyes.
This world is truly insane.
"If you like getting wet, then fine, I'll put it here for you."
I have work to do, and I don't have time to play around with a pair of bloodshot eyes.
Half an hour later—
Bai Ye found the following in the dressing room: two severed arms, two legs sitting cross-legged, and a head, but all the facial features had left home.
As for the torso, it was shattered beyond recognition.
Bai Ye placed all these body parts in the bathroom, then, after thinking for a moment, pieced them back together.
"It's the same body."
Bai Ye was surprised and subconsciously looked up at the door to the master bedroom. "Is this another difficulty mode they created?"
Just then, the screen vibrated.
Bai Ye sensed the message and immediately opened it; it was the team's internal communication channel.
This channel only exists when a team mission is started, but this is their first time using it.
[Gou Wenyan: Bro, how's it going inside? You've been in there for almost half a day.]
[Cheng Danyang: Yes, Brother Bai, everything outside has been mostly taken care of, we're just waiting for you to pass on the message.]
[Bai Ye: Has it been a long time? It feels like only half an hour has passed.]
[Xing Lei: If your perception is correct, then it's probably another difference in the flow of time. Have you noticed anything?]
Bai Ye looked at the assembled bodies and told her companions about it.
[Gou Wenyan: You found the strange corpse? Is it a woman, the nanny who disappeared?]
[Xing Lei: Can I bring it out?]
[Bai Ye: I'll give it a try.]
Bai Ye tidied herself up and tiptoed to the master bedroom, glancing sideways at the bed. The two eerie figures were fast asleep, even snoring.
"It should be okay, right?"
He went back, unbuttoned his coat, laid it out on the ground, and then piled the body parts he had found inside.
Zip it up and then pack it with two long-sleeved shirts.
Finally, I picked up the whole bunch and prepared to run away.
Just as I reached the door, the male homeowner's voice suddenly rang out behind me, "Who are you?"
Bai Ye's body stiffened, but his mouth moved faster than his brain, and he immediately replied, "Brother, I'm the cleaning staff who came in to clean. I just tidied up a bunch of miscellaneous items and was about to take them out. Do you want to check them?"
Turning around, Bai Ye smiled shyly, "It's a bit dusty and dirty, do you want to check it, brother?"
The male homeowner looked disgusted and waved his hand, saying, "Take it out right now."
After saying that, he lay down again.
Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief, saying "Okay" as she slowly backed away.
When closing the bedroom door, try not to make any noise.
In the living room, four people surrounded a mangled body, unable to comprehend what had happened.
“It’s not a nanny, nor is it any other strange thing. What is this?” Gou Wenyan poked at it with his hand. “The body has been split into like this, but it’s still warm. It’s eerie.”
“Only the supernatural could do that, but Brother Bai says no, and Brother Lei says no too.”
Cheng Danyang couldn't understand it either; who else could have such a strange body?
Bai Ye: "With my attributes, I really can't sense it. If it's a ghost, the male ghost should be able to detect it if I bring it out."
"Were all found in the closet?" Xing Lei suddenly asked.
Bai Ye nodded. "Yes, they're all in the closet. But strangely, neither the bloody eyeballs nor the severed torso, crammed into the closet, caused any contamination."
He remembered clearly that the clothes that were next to these bodies were all clean.
"Brother Lei, what are your thoughts?" Bai Ye sensed that Xing Lei had something to say.
Xing Lei hesitated, feeling it was unlikely.
Gou Wenyan grew impatient. "Brother Lei, just say what you have to say! You're driving me crazy. If you don't speak now, those two will wake up again soon."
Xing Lei: "What kind of strange things have you encountered in solo dungeons before?"
"What?"
"Besides the eeriness of its human-like appearance, what else is so eery?"
Xing Lei continued speaking without waiting for anyone else's reply, "I've encountered this before. In a special instance, all the animals were bizarre. Their abilities were greatly enhanced, possessing the keen senses of animals while also exhibiting human thought processes. And the more intelligent of these bizarre animals could even confuse the players..."
That was the instance where Xing Lei almost died; when he came out, his health had dropped by double digits.
“If animals can become supernatural beings, then why can’t other objects?” Xing Lei said.
While Gou Wenyan and Cheng Danyang were still in surprise, Bai Ye nodded and said, "Brother Lei is right. I should have realized it sooner. What else could naturally blend with those clothes besides oneself?"
"No way, have those clothes come to life?"
Gou Wenyan felt a chill run down his spine. He looked around again and slowly moved closer to Bai Ye. "Could it be that the tables and chairs in the living room are also there?"
"It's possible that we haven't yet [touched] them."
"Brother, how can you be so sure?"
“I’ve encountered some plant-related anomalies while doing dungeons before, and there were quite a few different kinds.”
Gou Wenyan quickly moved away from Bai Ye and stood right next to Cheng Danyang.
“Go and verify it,” Xing Lei said.
Bai Ye picked up the bundle again and returned to the master bedroom.
Upon entering the dressing room again, he opened all the cabinet doors and pulled out all the drawers.
Then unzip the zipper and take out the head inside.
After thinking for a moment, I said, "Besides eyes, what other children got lost?"
The wardrobe was quiet and unchanged.
Bai Ye cradled the head, touching the bloodshot eyes, her voice even gentler, "Little eyes, tell me, where have all your friends gone? Playing hide-and-seek like this isn't good; they should hurry home."
As he spoke, he patted his head and stroked his long hair. "You too, you need to find the hiding children quickly so that you can look whole and beautiful. Look, without a nose, mouth, and ears, you don't look pretty anymore."
If this scene were in modern society, it would definitely be considered a psychopath committing murder and then going insane at the crime scene.
But here, there's no limit to how crazy things can get.
Those who are easily frightened will probably be scared to death before they even face the eerie creature head-on.
Bai Ye held the head in his hands, even gouging out the eyeballs and carrying them around in the various wardrobes.
While gently coaxing her, she kept a close eye on the temperature changes in her palm.
really!
Inside one of the wardrobes, the temperature of those eyes dropped slightly, while the head in his arms moved almost imperceptibly.
Bai Ye knew that the remaining facial features should be hidden in this wardrobe.
This is the lady of the house's wardrobe, which contains spring and autumn clothes.
Bai Ye tucked his head under his armpit and gestured while pinching his eyeballs.
"This outfit is really nice. It's a very sharp business suit in black and white, which is a classic color scheme."
No response.
"This is casual wear, right? The jacket is made of a very soft fabric, but the pants are quite structured. It should be paired with high heels."
Still no response.
"What is this? A cheongsam? It's a very beautiful color."
The eyeballs in the palm of my hand are moving.
Bai Ye understood that there must be something wrong with this cheongsam.
Bai Ye took the whole garment out and carried it to the bathroom, where she hung it on the clothes rack.
Then he held the head and examined it closely from top to bottom.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that one of the buttons on the cheongsam was missing. Additionally, two strips of lace trim were missing from one of the cuffs. Furthermore, there were signs of wear and tear at the neckline.
Such a situation would never occur with a finely crafted cheongsam.
If it's damaged, it shouldn't be hung in the closet, especially not among a bunch of clothes you're currently wearing.
Bai Ye patted his eyes and laughed, "Where have all your friends hidden? Hurry up and call them back, their clothes are tattered and don't look good."
After saying that, he put the head back on the ground and pieced it back together to form a complete body.
"You should all go home now."
As soon as the words were spoken, the body on the ground swayed and stood up, walking towards the cheongsam on the clothes rack.
When the two came together, the body disappeared.
At the same time, the cheongsam was completely renewed and became very beautiful.
Their eyes darted in and out of the wardrobe, quickly finding their hiding friends. They held hands and squeezed into the cheongsams.
The buttons reappeared, the lace was symmetrical again, and the neckline was clean and perfectly intact.
Bai Ye picked up the cheongsam, looked at it from left to right, and was very satisfied.
"I see. So, when tidying up the clutter and organizing the wardrobe, we didn't ask for their opinions, but for yours."
The woman's earlier statement, "Let them do as they please," referred not to "them," but to "the animals."
Bai Ye turned on the screen and connected to the communication channel:
[Bai Ye: I need a helper, Danyang. Come in and help me organize the wardrobe.]
The dressing room contained both men's and women's clothing, even though everyone knew it was all strange.
But ultimately, the psychological hurdle is the hardest to overcome.
Bai Ye plans to take charge of the male homeowner's walk-in closet, while Cheng Danyang will handle the female homeowner's.
