Chapter 80 Housekeeping and Cleaning Special (13)
Gou Wenyan could not hear the eerie voice of the inanimate object. In his vision, Bai Ye was talking to himself, and then a hole suddenly appeared on the wall of the wardrobe.
He leaned closer and saw two strange figures lying in the bed, fast asleep.
In the field of vision, Xing Lei and Cheng Danyang could still be seen standing by the window talking.
Gou Wenyan grabbed Bai Ye's clothes and asked nervously, "Are we going to fight again?"
Bai Ye turned his head, and Gou Wenyan's tension intensified. "Making a move in broad daylight, are you preparing for a fight to the death? Should I find a place to hide?"
After saying that, realizing his mistake, he quickly explained, "I'm not capable of fighting. I'll only be a hindrance. I can't cause you any trouble."
Gou Wenyan was very self-aware; the greatest help a weak person can give to a strong person is not to cause trouble.
“This human player doesn’t smell too bad, you can hide in the closet.” Jeans stepped forward and sniffed, then said, “Just hide at the very back of the closet, where the suitcase used to be.”
Bai Ye walked to the innermost row of the wardrobe, opened it, and sure enough, there was a fairly large empty space.
"Wenyan, hide here."
Gou Wenyan looked completely bewildered. "Not brothers! Is it safe to be separated by just a wall?"
"These clothes will protect you."
After Bai Ye finished speaking, he walked straight out of the dressing room.
Gou Wenyan peered into the cave for a while, then silently closed the door to the dressing room. After thinking for a moment, he also closed the sliding door to the bathroom.
In this way, the walk-in closet becomes a closed space, turning into a temporary "safe house".
He still chose to believe his brother, and when he went into the closet, he took out a shirt. Then he felt it wasn't right and changed it into a pair of ripped sequined jeans.
"Brother, don't you dare trick me."
After saying that, he stroked his jeans again, "You guys are weird, aren't you? How weird! My brother believes you, so I believe you too, help me with the protective barrier!"
While Gou Wenyan was clinging to life in his delusions of grandeur, Bai Ye had already met up with Xing Lei and Cheng Danyang, and casually mentioned that the house had another owner.
Then, pointing to the bed in the middle, he said, "The original owner was trapped under the bed. We have to find a way to rescue him."
Xing Lei didn't entirely trust the words of the inanimate creature, but "these two high-level creatures have become even stronger when we fought them yesterday, so they really can't be allowed to live."
He suspected that the bed might have restorative properties against the supernatural.
Daytime drowsiness should be a state of voluntary hibernation.
Cheng Danyang's attitude was more direct: "I believe in Brother Bai. Brother Bai has a special connection with those clothes."
As they tidied up together, Bai Ye's closeness to the clothes was incredible. At first, she thought it was because they both had the attribute of being supernatural, but now she realized it was because of the unimpeded communication between supernatural beings.
"If someone can have a friendly conversation with Brother Bai, then it must be something really strange," Cheng Danyang concluded simply and bluntly.
The three reached a consensus and decided to eliminate the two high-level monsters during the day.
Xing Lei devised a plan and assigned personnel: "I'll deal with the male ghost, and Danyang will take care of the female ghost. There's something strange about this bed. We'll lure the two high-level ghosts out of the bed. While we're at it, Bai Ye, you crawl under the bed and find the real owner of the house."
Bai Ye nodded and stepped back first, leaving the fighting space to the two of them.
The two eerie creatures were fast asleep when they suddenly sensed malice and abruptly opened their eyes.
Seeing that the human players had entered the master bedroom and were about to attack them, they immediately pulled back the covers and threw them forward.
Xing Lei cautiously dodged, sidestepping the blanket, which fell to the ground, instantly igniting a wisp of blue smoke.
"Danyang, Baiye, hold your breath, the smoke is poisonous," Xing Lei said immediately.
Cheng Danyang turned to the side and ran to the other side of the bed, even more courageous than before. "Brother Lei, let's use up all their bedding. I want to see if they can still get out of bed after we've thrown it all away."
Bai Ye stood in the corner, watching his companions and the strange creatures locked in a fierce battle, and couldn't help but want to step forward and help.
But he had barely taken a step when Xing Lei stopped him, saying, "Bai Ye, don't come any closer. Save your strength for the other one."
Bai Ye understood. Xing Lei still harbored doubts about the strange creature he had rescued. If it was a lie, then it should be eliminated.
After assessing his own strength, Bai Ye retreated and stopped interfering.
The two high-level eerie beings were drowsy and refused to leave the bed. No matter what Xing Lei and Cheng Danyang did, even when their bodies were attacked, the two eerie beings remained unmoved.
After such a long stalemate, Bai Ye could no longer wait.
I decided to sneak forward, looking for an opportunity, and crawl under the bed.
"Human player, hurry up, the scum monster needs to replenish its power and will pause for a second," Lolita suddenly called out.
Bai Ye looked up and indeed found that the two strange movements were slightly slowed down. Although it was a normal fight, he saw that one of them was moving at a slower speed.
"Now! Go inside!"
Lolita reminded him again, and almost simultaneously, one of the strange things froze and stopped.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Bai Ye lay down and slid directly under the bed.
The pause was very short, only a second, and then the strange thing seemed to be recharged, returning to normal speed.
Everything happened very quickly; Xing Lei and Cheng Danyang were so focused on fighting that they didn't notice anything amiss.
But Bai Ye, who crawled under the bed, entered another space.
This space is cramped and narrow, but as he moves around, it can change into different shapes, thereby altering the spatial form.
"A fluid space volume?"
Bai Ye was surprised, then recalled a post he had found on the forum.
As a regular player, he was too eager to make money quickly and wanted to exchange for revival coupons as soon as possible.
Therefore, I often browse through posts during my free time.
The forum, often referred to as the "Strange Forum," is a place where players can speak freely and exchange experiences. Aside from a very few lone wolf players, most players share the difficulties and thrills they encounter while running dungeons on the forum.
Which dungeons are off-limits, which dungeons are best abandoned halfway through even if it costs money – these kinds of warnings and alerts pop up every now and then.
Bai Ye likes to lurk online, then secretly browse through every post, read the experiences shared by players, and then choose the dungeon that is most likely to make money quickly.
During this period, I found a post about fluid space bodies.
The post was very quiet, with few people paying attention and very few comments besides the poster.
But Bai Ye remembered very clearly that the fluid space body was explained as follows:
[A fluid spatial entity, a secondary, mysteriously created space that can autonomously divide and store smaller, duplicate worlds. Its destruction will immediately alert the creator.]
This is a self-protective space.
At the same time, it is also a symbol of leaving traces of where one has walked.
Bai Ye groped his way through the space, his heart heavy: To be able to create two smaller spaces, the owner of this house must be a near-high-level anomaly. Could a near-high-level anomaly really be no match for two high-level anomalies?
Could it be that Lei Ge's idea was correct, and that all of this was a trap?
Perhaps we shouldn't trust those clothes; the true owner of this house is the final boss of the dungeon?
Bai Ye walked slower and slower, his ability to search for people continued to decline.
Finally, he stopped and didn't want to go any further.
"If it's bad, find it; none of us can beat it."
"The second-highest level of strangeness is inside the fluid space, and it should be in a dormant state, unable to be awakened."
A chill ran down Bai Yehou's spine. Realizing this, he turned and left.
He had only taken two steps when his feet felt like they were rooted to the ground, and an invisible thread climbed up and wrapped around him.
"What is this? Don't play tricks!" Bai Ye was terrified.
A rustling sound came from behind, followed by the sound of footsteps.
The sound was strange; it didn't sound like something a normal human could make while walking.
Before Bai Ye could figure it out, he felt a cool sensation on his neck; something was touching him.
Hard and distinct.
"you……"
"It's a human player." The voice behind me was soft and faint.
Bai Ye had never heard such a strange voice before; it was more terrifying than the ghostly sounds in any horror movie.
The voice, with each word spoken, sounded as if sharp teeth were tearing at one's own body.
I can't feel the pain, but my psychological fear keeps rising.
Bai Ye could even hear her own heartbeat, a primal fear response.
"You... are a second-highest level of the supernatural?" Bai Ye couldn't help but ask.
A cold, sharp object poked into Bai Ye's back, accompanied by a chuckling laugh. "Weird, what's with the different levels?"
"What?"
"If the second-highest level is strange, then let it be the second-highest level strange."
Bai Ye wanted to say something more, but suddenly felt a pain in his back.
A hard object pierced his heart!
"Are the hearts of human players red?"
Bai Ye was in so much pain that she couldn't speak.
The voice continued to ask, "Is red blood the same as the tears I shed?"
Bai Ye's consciousness began to blur, but he clearly felt that the hard object was penetrating his bones and reaching the edge of his heart.
She wanted to rip her heart out completely!
Since becoming a player, Bai Ye hadn't felt this kind of clear pain in a long time.
In the past, pain was not felt very intense in dungeons; damage was only reflected in the loss of health.
But at this moment, he felt as if he were being skinned alive without anesthesia.
Despite the excruciating pain, Bai Ye managed to speak with difficulty: "Your clothes are waiting for you to come home. Those two high-level weirdos messed up your house."
The peeling process suddenly stopped.
The voice behind him was furious, "Those damned monsters, how dare they break into my house! I'm going to eat them alive!"
"Are you going back now?"
"Human player, do you want to go back?"
"Yes, I want to go back. This, ma'am, we're here on assignment to do... cleaning."
Bai Ye was sweating profusely from the pain after saying so much in one breath.
He felt as if his chest was about to become empty.
It felt like my own heart was about to be ripped out.
However, the next second, he felt something filling his body again. Immediately afterward, a tremendous repulsive force pushed him forward.
A sudden darkness followed by light. Opening his eyes, he saw Bai Ye lying under the bed, her back against the floor, only ten centimeters from his nose, just above the bed frame.
The fight outside was fierce, and dust kept falling through the gaps in the bed frame.
"Cough cough cough—"
Bai Ye's nose was so itchy that she couldn't help but cough.
After finally stopping my cough, I listened again and realized that the fighting outside had stopped.
Bai Ye was puzzled, so he quietly turned to the side, preparing to peek out.
As he turned around, a doll suddenly fell down, head down, staring at him.
The baby's eyes were dark and bright, but the pupils were blood red, as if they had just bled.
It stared, stared, and suddenly grinned, "Human player, come out and clean the room."
Bai Ye was dragged out by Xing Lei and Cheng Danyang, and the three of them stood in a row. Opposite them was a life-sized doll.
At the doll's feet was a clump of gray dregs.
Bai Ye touched his back but couldn't find the wound, so he asked in a low voice, "Where are the two strange creatures?"
"It was eaten, then vomited up, just that pile of gray stuff."
Cheng Danyang answered in a low voice, then asked in return, "Brother Bai, is this the original owner you rescued? He looks..." not human!
