Chapter 79 Housekeeping and Cleaning Special (12)
"Brother Bai, have you found it?"
Cheng Danyang walked into the dressing room, and as soon as she finished speaking, her expression changed drastically.
She grabbed Bai Ye and quickly backed up against the wall, saying, "Brother Bai, be careful, something's happened."
"What?"
“The other half of the wardrobe has disappeared.” Cheng Danyang pointed to a completely blank wall.
Bai Ye held a pair of jeans in his hand, his expression also not good. "Something has changed in the closet too."
"What?" Cheng Danyang turned his head.
Bai Ye picked up the jeans, sighed, and said, "I don't know what those weirdos were thinking, they actually ruined an entire wardrobe of clothes. Look at these jeans, there are graffiti marks on them."
Bai Ye reached out and rubbed hard, but couldn't remove it. "It's still an extremely difficult stain to wash off. I don't know what made it."
Cheng Danyang lowered his head, leaned closer to examine it, and exclaimed, "Hey, Brother Bai, isn't this the strange oil?"
"Strange oil?"
"Yes, it's a liquid, similar to an oil, that the supernatural entity carries. Just like human DNA, everyone's genes are unique. The supernatural oil carried by the supernatural entity is also unique."
Cheng Danyang couldn't understand which supernatural being was so immoral as to smear their own supernatural oil on these clothes and pants.
"How do I remove the strange oil?" Bai Ye suddenly had a headache and immediately thought of the cleaning task.
Cheng Danyang shook his head, "I don't know, but you can ask Brother Lei. He's very knowledgeable about the strange oil."
[Xing Lei: The strange oil is very special; I need to identify it myself.]
Cheng Danyang quietly went to the master bedroom and found the two strange figures almost dead. So he opened the bedroom door and let Xing Lei in.
Gou Wenyan also came in with them. There was no way around it; he was a coward, and even during the day, he couldn't stand being alone.
Four people were crammed into the dressing room, with three of them surrounding Xing Lei, watching him examine the oil stains on his jeans.
Gou Wenyan took the opportunity to visit the restroom and couldn't resist shaking hands with the reassembled skeleton.
He came back and leaned closer to ask, "Brother Lei, any results yet?"
Cheng Danyang pushed the person away, saying, "Don't disturb Brother Lei."
Gou Wenyan said "Oh," and then pretended to pick up a white shirt and examine the oil stains on it.
Just as they were completely baffled by the research, Xing Lei suddenly said from behind, "Unidentifiable, it's not ordinary, strange oil."
"Are they the two outside?" Bai Ye asked.
Xing Lei: "It shouldn't be. They were busy with us all night and didn't have time to leave so much strange oil behind."
Fearing his companions might not understand, Xing Lei added, "Strange oil is different from blood, where a large amount can just flow out from a small opening. The production of each drop of strange oil requires the strange creature to consume a certain amount of energy. Although it won't harm the strange creature itself, it doesn't use strange oil lightly, except to warn companions or mark important locations."
This is a very serious sign, and only the very entity that produces the mysterious oil can recycle it.
"It can be recycled?" Gou Wenyan asked in surprise.
Xing Lei: "I don't know the specific principles behind renewable materials, but they can indeed be recycled."
“There is a way.” Bai Ye suddenly laughed.
Seeing the group looking over, he spread his hands and said, "They look like they're dead. It's daytime now, so why don't we try to get some of those two's 'ghost oil' and compare and identify it?"
The closet was full of clothes and pants, all covered in strange oil stains. Nobody would believe there wasn't something fishy going on.
The task of obtaining the elusive oil can be accomplished by none other than Xing Lei.
First, the opponent has the highest combat strength and the most experience in dealing with the supernatural. Second, he also has a way of obtaining the supernatural oil without alerting the supernatural.
Xing Lei went into the bathroom, grabbed a glass at random, and turned to walk into the bedroom.
About fifteen minutes later, the person returned.
The three of them turned their heads in unison and looked at each other's right hands. The originally transparent glass now contained about five milliliters of light brown liquid.
Thick and foul-smelling.
Gou Wenyan was the first to lose his temper, covering his mouth and nose, "What the hell is this? Does this ghost oil smell so bad?"
Cheng Danyang: "How disgusting! But why don't I smell this kind of stench from the weird oil on my clothes?"
Bai Ye asked in confusion, "Brother Lei, have the two kinds of strange oils been mixed together?"
Xing Lei shook his head, "I only took one."
"ah?"
"You can smell it too, it's incredibly fishy and stinky. That's still a relatively tolerable smell, the other one is even more disgusting."
Bai Ye immediately understood, "So the strange oil on these clothes doesn't belong to either of them."
Xing Lei nodded and threw the glass into the bathroom trash can.
The four fell silent again.
The trail has gone cold; we still don't know where this strange oil came from.
"Could it be that nanny? We still haven't found her," Gou Wenyan guessed.
Cheng Danyang shook her head, "It couldn't be her. That nanny was just a random passerby."
"How do you know that?" Gou Wenyan retorted.
Cheng Danyang said expressionlessly, "Yes, I accidentally killed her last night."
His tone was extremely flat.
Gou Wenyan was speechless and remained silent.
"What can we do then? If we can't find the specific anomaly, won't these clothes be ruined?"
Cheng Danyang was furious when she thought about how hard she had worked to assemble the bones yesterday, and now her beautiful clothes were covered in stains.
"If I find out which bastard did this, I'll kill him!"
"How about we try Lao Bai?" Gou Wenyan immediately followed up.
Seeing Bai Ye look up with a resentful look in his eyes, Gou Wenyan immediately smiled apologetically, "No, brother! I didn't suspect you did it. You're the only one left in the whole room, so what's the big deal about trying it out? Just in case?"
The word "what if" earned him another eye roll from Bai Ye.
But he still stretched out his arm and handed it to Xing Lei, saying, "Brother Lei, you do it. I want to prove my innocence."
Five minutes later, Bai Ye fell silent.
Gou Wenyan opened his mouth, pointed at Bai Ye, then at the closet full of clothes, and was stunned.
"I just said it offhand..."
What happened?! My brother is actually the culprit?!
Xing Lei: "After eliminating all the impossibilities, whatever remains, however incredible, is also the truth."
I should have realized it sooner; apart from those two weirdos, the only one in this house who could be called "weird" was Bai Ye.
Cheng Danyang asked in bewilderment, "Why would Brother Bai do this? It doesn't make sense!"
Bai Ye was also confused. "Yes, why?"
"Could it be related to his disappearance at night?"
Gou Wenyan speculated, "You see, Lao Bai disappears at midnight and comes back at dawn. Nobody knows where he went or what he did in between. Hmm, maybe even the ghosts don't know. So it's possible that he secretly caused trouble in the house, cough cough, I mean, did some small things to pass the time."
“It doesn’t seem like random vandalism.” Xing Lei picked up a coat and touched the marks on it. “The elusive oil is precious. To go to such lengths to stain every single one of them, it must have a purpose.”
As she spoke, she looked at Bai Ye and said, "Perhaps you did something every night you disappeared, but you forgot about it yourself. These strange oils may be something you left behind to remind yourself."
It has to be said that Xing Lei almost guessed the truth.
But Bai Ye didn't believe it. He wasn't a pervert. Why would every piece of his clothing be stained in the middle of the night?
Oh right, it's some kind of weird oil, what a load of rubbish!
"I am a player," Bai Ye reiterated.
Gou Wenyan muttered to himself, "You're still a half-demon, so it's not impossible for you to transform in the middle of the night."
Bai Ye glared at him, thinking, "Can't this mouth say something nice?"
“Bai Ye, if you need, I can teach you a method so you can sense these strange oils yourself,” Xing Lei said.
After hesitating for a while, Bai Ye agreed.
Cheng Danyang and Gou Wenyan were standing in the restroom, each holding one of the arms, chatting.
"It's just sensing the strange oil, why won't Brother Lei let us see it?"
"Perhaps it's to avoid suspicion."
"What's there to avoid? We're all brothers, we're a team, why would we reveal this method? Besides, even if we knew this method, we wouldn't need to use it!"
Cheng Danyang couldn't figure it out either, so he simply stopped thinking about it. "Brother Gou, feel this bone. The material is quite smooth and warm. Brother Bai said it's Lolita. It's really hard to imagine."
As they were talking, Xing Lei also came out of the dressing room and closed the door behind him.
"Brother Lei?"
"The night is sensing; do not disturb it."
In the dressing room, Bai Ye looked down at his hands, his feelings a jumble of emotions.
Xing Lei told him there were two ways to sense the eerie oil. One was to sense it through the identity of a human player; if they were from the same source, there would be a reaction. However, this method consumed a lot of health points because the eerie oil and the player were mutually exclusive.
Although Bai Ye cannot see the health points now, he knows that once the strange form is removed, the dungeons he has experienced will still be settled.
When the final accounts are settled, it could be a huge sum of money.
Players must not act recklessly just because they are not in immediate danger.
The second method does not consume health points and is very simple: it involves sensing the mysterious oil with a mysterious identity and reacting quickly with the same attribute.
"Bai Ye, the second method has a drawback: once you use the weird skill, your weird attribute may increase."
These are Xing Lei's exact words, meaning that the difficulty of removing the strange attributes may change.
How to choose?
Bai Ye was conflicted. Two little figures in her mind, one positive and one negative, were arguing fiercely, each sticking to their own opinion.
Ultimately, Bai Ye's desire for human identity outweighed everything else, and she chose to take the risk.
Half an hour later.
Bai Ye sensed the power of the same origin and his expression turned extremely ugly: It really is my own thing?
No! When exactly were these things left behind?
Why would I disappear in the middle of the night and do all these fancy things?
"Brother Lei, he's mine." Bai Ye opened the door, somewhat annoyed.
Xing Lei glanced at the wardrobe. "They were all recycled?"
"No, I was thinking, it really was something I did myself. There must be a reason for it, I'm not that bored."
"so?"
"I want to look for clues."
Only Bai Ye himself knows the "evidence" that Bai Ye possesses.
Even if he doesn't remember anything, it's not something that others can understand.
Xing Lei took Cheng Danyang out to check the master bedroom; they didn't want to wait any longer.
Those two strange things must be dealt with today.
Gou Wenyan stayed behind to help Bai Ye sort through the clothes, asking as he did so, "Brother, are you sure you can find any clues?"
These strange oils, haphazardly drawn on every piece of clothing, seem to be done at will. What secrets could they possibly hide?
Bai Ye continued sorting, his work never stopping. "There must be clues. I'm not stupid."
"I haven't seen you being that smart either," Gou Wenyan retorted.
Bai Ye chuckled, "Likewise."
"By the way, what should I do with this Lolita dress? It doesn't seem to fit anywhere." Gou Wenyan held the clothes hanger, looking troubled.
Bai Ye took it, glanced at it, and prepared to stuff it into the pile of the ten most difficult clothes to care for that she had compiled yesterday.
The moment I put it in, I couldn't pull my hand back.
His expression changed, and he followed the force, groping inside. Every piece of clothing he touched automatically revealed the strange oil, returning to his body.
These strange oils do not return to the sea like water droplets, but instead remain in their original horizontal and vertical arrangement.
At this moment, Bai Ye had ten lines in his mind.
"This is?"
Bai Ye sensed those lines, and when his consciousness touched them, they automatically sorted themselves into a small column.
Looking at the other clothes in the wardrobe, Bai Ye realized something and immediately asked Gou Wenyan to bring over another stack of clothes that had been tidied up.
By categorizing items into tops, pants, skirts, and suits, and further combining them with the four seasons, Bai Ye continuously obtains these strange lines.
Once all the strange oil lines were collected, the little column in Bai Ye's mind had grown quite long.
Just as I was about to figure out how to deal with it, the lines automatically combined and quickly turned into a string of text.
[The indigenous people restored the houses to their original state.]
The text appeared briefly and then disappeared, scattering back into the eerie oil that seeped into the body.
The moment the strange oil returned, something new appeared in Bai Ye's mind; he seemed to see some images...
Looking at the wardrobe in front of him again, he couldn't help but have a complicated expression. "You... are the owners of this house?"
"Fool, I told you you can't leave a message like that. The owner isn't home, we're just clothes."
The jeans folded on the outside made me sigh, "Human players just love to play sophisticated games. According to my suggestion, the cute clothes resolutely protect their owner's house, dismantle all the useless furniture, drive away the eerie creatures, and carry out a thorough cleaning." Tsk, how wonderful.
"No, the human player doesn't have enough Ghost Oil. We can't write such a long string." The man in the suit sighed, not understanding why the other party, who was clearly a second-highest level Ghost, had so little Ghost Oil in his body.
Silk Cheongsam: "Maybe it's an immature ghost. He turns into a human player during the day, unlike at night. It's like... well, a hybrid."
Bai Ye found it increasingly outrageous and quickly interrupted, "Hey, don't be so arrogant, talking bad about me to my face."
"Human player, are you aware that you have amnesia?" Jeans asked quickly.
Bai Ye's expression was not good. "Now I know."
The strange oil returned to his body, and the lost memories played back like movie clips, making him understand the general situation.
To his surprise, despite being a semi-mysterious being, he became the second-highest level of mystery at night.
However, for now, it's best to figure out the requirements for these clothes first.
Lolita twirled her sleeves, stretched, and finally spoke, "Kid, you smashed me to pieces, it's unforgivable. You have to make it up to me. Now, take your human friends and go wipe out those scumbags."
"Hmm?" Bai Ye looked over.
Lolita lifted her sleeve, and a hole was punched in the wardrobe wall behind her, clearly revealing the two people lying on the bed.
"My master has been suppressed, human players. Rescue my master and you will receive the real cleaning list."
Bai Ye's heart skipped a beat, and a sudden realization struck her. "You mean, that bed..."
"Yes, my master is being suppressed under the bed. Two scoundrels appeared out of nowhere and used evil means to trap my master. She has not eaten or drunk anything for so many days, she must have lost weight."
Lolita felt sorry for herself; her master hadn't even had a chance to dress up and look beautiful.
How can clothes that have never been worn realize their value?
Lolita: "You scumbags! I am their sworn enemy!"
