Chapter 23: Sleeping in a Haunted House (1) I’m Too Weak



Yue Ya couldn't see anything except the water stains, but he could feel the wind getting faster. The doors and windows of the house were closed, and he didn't know where the wind came from.

The water stains moved faster and the dripping sound became louder. Yue Ya was ready to deal with it.

"Woof!" A ferocious dog barking suddenly sounded, and then the red water stain tilted, followed by a shrill scream, which sounded like... something was bitten by a dog.

Yue Ya was in a complicated mood. It seemed that there were vengeful spirits in the world he had been living in, and the barking of the dog made him very concerned.

At this moment, Feifei jumped up, opened his mouth and bit into the void. At this moment, Yue Ya saw the shadow of a ferocious beast on it.

Feifei landed on the ground nimbly, with a vague human-shaped black shadow under his claws!

The shadow let out a blood-curdling scream, and Feifei bit it without mercy, quickly swallowing up most of the black mist.

The black shadow struggled to escape, but Feifei held it tightly, but it couldn't swallow so much. After eating so much, it was too full and the black shadow, which was only the size of a palm, escaped.

The small black shadow jumped around like a ball, and finally slipped out through the crack in the door.

Feifei squatted on the ground and burped.

Even if the world changes, it won’t stop Feifei from eating cat food. There is cat food delivered to your door everywhere.

Yueya was still thinking about the dog barking. He found the ball that Feifei had been playing with before, picked it up and saw that it seemed to be the one that Danyolk Su’s favorite to play with before.

After Egg Yolk Su passed away, his family was afraid that his mother would be sad, so they put away all his toys. Now Fei Fei has found them.

Yue Ya threw the ball up, and when the ball fell into his palm again, he seemed to hear the dog panting.

Yue Ya held the ball and looked down at the ground. A few drops of water appeared on the ground again, but they were transparent and fleeting, completely different from the blood brought by the black shadow.

"Egg yolk pastry, is that you?" Yueya threw the ball out.

The ball was caught before it hit the ground. It floated in the air and returned to Yue Ya again.

Although he couldn't see anything, he knew that Egg Yolk Pastry was standing in front of him, perhaps still wagging its tail like before.

Yueya took the ball and stretched out his hand into the air: "The egg yolk pastry is really good."

He heard a light "woof" and felt a cool breeze on his palm.

He was often sick when he was a child. When other children went to school, he could only recuperate at home. It was the egg yolk pastry that accompanied him through those long and painful days.

Egg yolk crisp was very docile, often lying beside him, quietly accompanying him to look out the window. At that time, what he wanted to do most was to run and play with Egg yolk crisp in the yard without restraint. When he grew up and his body got a little better, Egg yolk crisp was too old to run.

Yueya's eyes suddenly felt a little hot. He had never thought that Egg Yolk Su did not leave after his death.

For two years, it has been silently guarding this home, and has driven away countless things like black shadows. If it weren't for the horror game that made his five senses more acute, and if it weren't for Fei Fei, he might never have discovered it.

Yueya felt sorry for the egg yolk pastry but was also happy about the reunion. Although he couldn't see it now, he believed that he would be able to see it soon.

"I'll be able to see you after a while, and you can play with Feifei." Yueya put the ball on the ground. Feifei pushed the ball with his paws, and Egg Yolk Su pushed it back. The two little animals had a lot of fun playing with each other.

After that night, no strange creatures came to harass Yueya's house anymore.

Apart from playing with the egg yolk pastry every day, Feifei would wait at the door for the escaped black shadow to come back.

I'm not hungry, I just want a snack.

Then Yueya discovered that Feifei seemed to be gradually becoming more like a dog. When it squatted on the ground, it would stick out its tongue like a dog from time to time. It didn't seem to be hot, it just wanted to play.

Yueya searched for information about "Kuai Escape" on the Internet. When he downloaded the game, there were obviously many reviews online, but now they have disappeared completely.

Everything related to this game disappeared. If he posted a post related to the topic online, it would be automatically deleted in less than a minute.

Since he couldn't find out, he stopped checking for the time being.

He went into his home sculpture studio and began to immerse himself in creation. He got full inspiration from the game world and couldn't wait to make his inspiration concrete.

Inspiration burst out in his mind like fireworks. He started smoothly from the first stroke and completed the core concept and sketch draft in less than a day. The next step is the detailed part that requires patience...

Time always flies quickly when you focus on something you like. By the time he finished the design, his break was over.

He lazily returned to the player core and entered a new round of the game just before the game forced him to start.

In front of me was a low house, which looked quite old, with signs of repair on the roof and walls. The weeds in the yard had not been cleared away, and were growing wildly. In the center was a huge banyan tree, with lush branches and leaves pressing down, casting a shadow over half of the yard.

Chaotic, dilapidated and gloomy were Yue Ya's first impression of the house.

Looking around, there are single-family villas near the house, and each of them has signs of life. It can be seen that the environment here is not only not remote, but also may be a good location. It is really strange that such a good location is deserted.

At this time, there were several cars parked in front of the house, and it was full of people. It was probably the busiest moment in this house in recent times.

Everyone was looking at the house curiously. Everyone had a work badge hanging on them. Yue Ya couldn't tell which ones were players and which ones were NPCs.

This time, in addition to the luggage backpack, there is also a camera bag, which is very heavy. Yue Ya raised the work badge around his neck, which had his ID photo printed on it, and read: Y City Urban Night Talk Program Group, Anchor, Xiao Yue.

The information given is quite clear. You can immediately know the player's identity and roughly know why you come here.

The bearded man in a black vest clapped his hands and shouted, "Come on, everyone, move your things in first. Our work has officially begun!"

The bearded man should be the person in charge of this program group. As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone started to move, opened the trunk of the car and started moving things.

Yue Ya took a quick glance and thought that those guys who were as still as he was should all be players.

Yue Ya withdrew his gaze and happened to meet the eyes of the girl standing next to him. The girl nodded at him, and the little pink flower hairpin on her head swayed.

He saw the girl’s work badge, which read: Anchor, Lihua.

The game officially started, the live broadcast room was also opened, and viewers came in one after another.

Yueya often doesn't read the barrage or interact, and the live broadcast room has always been lukewarm. The most popular moment of the last live broadcast was when the audience gave collective rewards to Lulu.

[It’s pretty cool to be a fan of a new anchor, after all, he starts broadcasting more frequently]

[Where's Feifei? Where's Lulu? I want to see the cubs!]

[The last live broadcast of the Bone Ashes Building was pretty good. I came again when I saw the host start the broadcast]

"Xiaoyue, Lihua, what are you two standing there for? Come over and help!" The bearded man spoke in a loud voice, like a megaphone, and called out the names of those who couldn't move one by one: "This is a battle for our program team's survival. If you keep on being so lazy, you'll all have to pack up and be unemployed!"

"This NPC has a really loud voice." Lihua rubbed her ears.

"Indeed." Yueya walked over slowly and worked passively.

Just as he was lifting a lighting board, he saw the bearded man talking to a man in a black suit and stopped to listen.

The man in the black suit handed the bearded man a bunch of old-fashioned keys: "Director, here are the keys. We have signed the contract, you have to work hard and can't run away halfway, otherwise the owner will definitely not let me go."

The bearded man is indeed the director.

The director took the key and nodded. "You also know the current situation of our program team. We will definitely not mess up the job. Don't worry. I will ask you one question, and you must answer me honestly."

Black suit: "If you ask, I will definitely answer truthfully."

The director looked serious and asked in a low voice, "Are the rumors about this house true?"

Hearing the key point, Yue Ya raised her eyelashes and her eyes fell on the face of the man in the black suit.

The man in the black suit looked awkward for a moment, but soon covered it up with a smile. He half-jokingly said, "Of course it's not true. You guys might be a little sensitive in this line of work. There are no ghosts in this world."

The director leaned closer to the man in the black suit, his hair casting a shadow on his eyes, making it hard to see his expression: "How come not? I've seen him before."

The man in the black suit swallowed nervously. “Are you kidding me, director? Haha.”

"You go back first. I'll contact you if there's anything." The director waved his hand and walked away hurriedly in a black suit.

After moving their things, the deserted yard became more lively. The director gathered them together, quickly assigned them accommodation, and asked them to move their luggage into the "dormitory" first.

Yueya was assigned to a north-facing room, living with three other boys, one of whom was an NPC.

He walked in front and pushed open the extremely unstable wooden door, and a musty smell hit him in the face.

It’s unknown how long this room hasn’t seen light. The dim light from the sky shines in, causing dust to fly up.

Yue Ya covered his lips and started coughing. He coughed so hard that the corners of his eyes turned red. The NPC boy hurriedly helped him smooth his back: "Xiao Yue, are you okay?"

Yueya waved her hands, tears welled up in her eyes, her pupils were extremely black, and she didn't look like she was okay.

"Maybe there's too much dust. You can go to the side and rest for a while. You can come in after I finish cleaning." said the NPC guy.

This is an old problem that has persisted for many years. It's okay when it doesn't occur, but once it does, I cough endlessly. Yue Ya didn't refuse and moved a chair to sit by the door, waiting for his body to recover.

The male player who shared the room with him looked at him and shook his head: "You are so fragile, it's not easy for you to survive to this level."

Yueya coughed twice more, his skin becoming paler, like a fragile plant that was hard to keep alive: "Who said it wasn't?"
