Chapter 225: Inhuman (33) (1st update + 2nd update + 3500 thunder 3rd update) [VIP]
The exploration team members were almost unconscious after coming out of the strange story.
When they were in the ghost story, they were still holding on to the fear that "the surrounding environment is full of dangers and the ghost story has not been successfully completed yet", but as soon as they came out of the pawn shop and saw the Buff hanging under the name of the live broadcast room, no one could hold on any longer.
Shi Pang saw that the time was almost up, so he walked over holding the milk tea he had bought on the pedestrian street. What he saw were the newlyweds sleeping soundly on the side of the road.
It had been at least twenty hours since everyone last rested, and during these twenty hours, no one had a single moment to relax. Everyone was performing rituals, escaping, and digging foundations, and they were exhausted.
Although Bai Jinshu had rested for a few hours because of his identity, as an important figure in suppressing You Gaohan, Xiaochuan's physical condition was gradually weakening as the formation was gradually destroyed. After dragging such a body through the ghost story for more than ten hours, Bai Jinshu was as tired as the others.
"Hey, wake up," Shi Pang held a cup of milk tea in one hand, squatted down and shook Shi Xiuzhu and Shi Xiulan with his other hand, "Don't sleep on the side of the road, the sun is about to set, we need to go back to the teahouse!"
He shook it several times before Shi Xiulan barely opened her eyes: "Captain Shi..."
Her eyes were full of bloodshot, and she fell down again before she could finish her sentence.
"Oh, what's going on..." Shi Pang was startled, "What happened?"
"It's okay... It's okay..." Shi Xiuzhu beside him shook his head a few times, "I'm too sleepy..."
After living for so many years, they felt for the first time what it meant to fall asleep immediately.
No one cared that this was next to a pedestrian street, and no one cared about other people's eyes. The moment he lay on the ground and closed his eyes, it was no exaggeration to say that he instantly lost consciousness and "fell into a coma."
If Shi Pang hadn't woken them up, they would probably have been able to sleep here until tomorrow morning.
"Then don't sleep here," Shi Pang muttered while shaking the others, "Wake up, wake up! Don't sleep anymore! It's better to go home than sleep on the roadside! The sun will set soon, and it will be night in S City!"
I don't know which words awakened everyone's sensitive nerves. After Shi Pang's words, the newcomers in the team have become more or less sober. Many of them barely mustered up the energy and supported and pulled each other to stand up from the ground.
Xiao Tang pulled the yellow-haired boy up from the floor, grabbed his shoulders and shook him for a long time: "Wake up! Don't sleep!"
Bai Jinshu's mind was also dizzy. He knew clearly that he needed to return to the safe [Teahouse] as soon as possible. He could not stay in S City for long after the sun went down and night fell. The two deaths in Shi Pang's team had proved the danger of the night. However, his limbs seemed to be out of control and were so heavy that he could hardly lift them.
He had stayed up late many times while filming before, but he had never been so tired.
And all of them became like this after they came out of that pawn shop.
If it wasn't true that everyone was so sleepy that they couldn't open their eyes, then there was a very high possibility that there was something wrong with this strange story.
This weird talk...
Bai Jinshu's thoughts were interrupted for a moment.
No, I’m too sleepy.
This fatigue came out from every nerve, and seemed to consciously prevent them from thinking about the content of the ghost story after they left it.
In just a few minutes, the other newcomers have gradually opened their eyes.
"Hurry up, hurry up," Shi Pang urged, "The sun will set in more than an hour, we must hurry back to the teahouse."
His tone didn't sound dissatisfied, but a little anxious. Time was really running out.
"Brother Shi..." The three brothers were so sleepy, "Can't we use the new buff we got? We are so fast, can't we just teleport back to the teahouse?"
Before he could finish his words, the three of them got three cold looks from Shi Pang.
"Hey, hey, that's enough," Shi Pang said speechlessly, "Daily Travel Thousand Miles has a cooldown period. Now that I've used it, what should I do tomorrow?"
This sentence completely dispelled everyone's fantasy. The two sisters Shi Xiuzhu and Shi Xiulan wailed. Huangmao was so sleepy that tears came out of his eyes. He was about to fall down after taking a few steps forward. Fortunately, Xiao Tang was quick-witted and caught him.
"Come on... don't walk by yourself." Xiao Tang observed him for a few seconds, exerted force with his hands, and threw the yellow-haired man directly onto his shoulder. "I'm afraid that if I let you walk by yourself, you might fall to the ground."
Huangmao is lucky because he has Xiao Tang carrying him, but others are not so lucky.
Everyone dragged their exhausted bodies, struggled to stand up from the ground, and followed the stone giant step by step, just like a group of zombies that had just been unearthed and had no movable limbs.
Bai Jinshu suspected that everyone's difficulties were caused by this strange story. The more they thought about it and the more they knew, the more tired they felt.
This overwhelming fatigue appeared only after they learned the truth about [Revenge].
But if that is the case, let’s not talk about others for now. Xiao Tang is a smart person, she must think more than others, so why doesn’t she seem to be affected at all?
Xiao Tang is extremely strong and never gets tired, whether now or when he was in the ghost stories. He is full of a spirit that transcends human beings, and seems like some friend from a neighboring country who has evolved away from sleep.
Bai Jinshu wanted to observe, but he didn't know whether it was because he knew too much or because he was still subconsciously thinking about the contents of the ghost story at this time. His body was so tired that it seemed as if it no longer belonged to him. After walking forward a few steps, he had to try hard to divide some of his energy to control his thoughts so that he would not subconsciously think about the content of "revenge".
Just as he was trying to support his tired body and catch up with the large group in front, he suddenly felt his feet go empty.
My already groggy vision suddenly changed direction.
Someone picked him up from behind.
"Pregnant...?" Bai Jinshu narrowed his eyes and looked up with difficulty.
He was so sleepy that his body's perception was reduced. The name kept lingering on the tip of his tongue for a long time, but in the end, only the first word came out, and the rest of the pronunciation was vague.
The problems in this strange story did not seem to end with its end, but became more confusing. Under the overload of the brain, the contents in Bai Jinshu's mind about the truth of Zhoufu Village, Mr. Huang's magic circle, the never-tiring Xiao Tang and the personality that suddenly appeared before faded away, and finally only this face looking down at him was left.
Huaijiamu.
It was very strange. In the last moment before his consciousness was withdrawn, Bai Jinshu had this thought inexplicably.
For Huai Jiamu, he should have discovered by now that Bai Jinshu is not actually a believer, nor does he have any devout faith, and even Huai Jiamu himself is not actually an evil god, right?
What is the reason why he always responds to my requests?
In order to find clues about his true identity from me?
Not really...
You Gaohan's identity is almost free in the ghost story, but Huai Jiamu doesn't often follow him. Instead, he is often nowhere to be found. Bai Jinshu is a little suspicious that he actually remembered something, so he spent most of this time independently exploring some aspects related to his identity.
As soon as his thoughts turned to [revenge], his physical fatigue became even more severe. After a few seconds, his overloaded brain finally broke down. Bai Jinshu completely stopped this self-destructive behavior.
"Forget it," he mumbled, "Good night."
In short, what Huai Jiamu does has nothing to do with him. It would be better if Huai Jiamu could solve the problem independently. He could just use his answer to deduce the truth about his identity.
"Go to sleep." He heard Huai Jiamu's voice.
The two people walking at the end of the team finally caught up with the team leader Shi Pang.
"Hey, hey——" Xiao Tang, with Huangmao on his back, glanced at Ersi and lowered his voice, "Xiao Fei, I want to ask you something."
"What?" Xiao Fei was groggy, "Sister Tang, just tell me straight..."
He is not like Huangmao, who has Xiao Tang to carry him, nor is he like Erge, who has Daguaitan to take care of him.
While Xiao Fei lamented that he didn't have that fate, he looked at the row of golden buffs under the name of his live broadcast room, and secretly sighed that although he didn't have that fate to be taken care of, he was lucky and knew how to hold on to big legs.
Just when Xiao Fei's thoughts were racing, he heard Xiao Tang's voice.
"When you heard Ersi complaining about the idiot just now," Xiao Tang's voice was very low, as if he was avoiding the big weird talk, "wasn't his tone very unlike himself?"
"Huh?" Xiao Fei shuddered, and his drowsy mind instantly became clear.
"Yes... a little?" He felt a chill on his back. "Sister Xiao Tang, is there something wrong..."
"No, no," Xiao Tang laughed, "Haven't we seen two Xiao Hes in the ghost stories? I'm just a little worried about this. I'll ask Er Si later."
She walked away carrying Huangmao on her back.
Xiao Fei stood there in a daze for a few seconds.
"Xiao Fei, what's wrong?" Xiao He walked up from behind.
"Nothing..." Xiao Fei said subconsciously, "I'm just a little tired. I can't walk. Can you help me?"
"Okay," Xiao He agreed readily, "Then put your hand over me and I'll carry you."
Xiao Fei subconsciously put his hand on Xiao He's shoulder, and at this moment, his fingertips touched a piece of gauze.
"Hey?" He asked curiously, "Did the wound on your neck get brought out? Is it still not healed? I remember that after leaving the ghost story, all the injuries in there were gone, right?"
[Revenge] used someone else's identity, so he was naturally unharmed after coming out. Otherwise, Ersi, who had obtained Ogawa's identity, would not have survived after coming out.
"My wound?" Xiao He was stunned for a second, "I forgot to remove the bandage!"
He casually used his other hand to remove the gauze from his neck.
Under the gauze is a smooth and intact skin.
Xiao Fei glanced casually and didn't see any injuries, so he put half of his body pressure on Xiao He again: "I'm so sleepy... I'm going to have a good sleep when I get back to the teahouse."
"Yes," Xiao He agreed, "I'm sleepy too. I need to have a good rest when I get back to the teahouse."
*
When Bai Jinshu woke up, it was already night outside the window.
Not knowing what time it was, he rubbed his cell phone from under the pillow.
It was a little after two in the morning.
This is the guest room in the teahouse. There is no light in the room, and it is pitch black. The other beds are covered with messy quilts and pillows. One can imagine that their owner also woke up from a dream like him, looked around, rubbed his hair, lifted the quilt and left the room.
The sound of people talking came from the direction of the lobby downstairs. The sound was not loud, but because it was too quiet in the teahouse at this time, it was very obvious.
Bai Jinshu lifted the quilt and walked out of the room. He leaned on the railing of the guest room upstairs and looked down for a few seconds.
The newlyweds are in the lobby.
Everyone showed up in the teahouse in one piece, which meant they must have returned here after dark in S City. Almost nine hours had passed since six o'clock. Based on eight hours of sleep, everyone probably got enough sleep and woke up naturally at two or three in the morning.
After getting enough sleep, they were of course full of energy. They couldn't fall asleep again, so more and more newlyweds woke up and simply gathered in the lobby.
Seeing Bai Jinshu's figure, Xiao Tang was the first to wave his hand: "Ersi? You're awake!"
"Er Ge, when I woke up, I saw you were still sleeping, so I didn't wake you up," Xiao Fei looked up at him, holding a glass of water in his hand, "No one can sleep, so we just gathered in the lobby. Brother Yuan and Captain Shi are here too."
Sure enough, Yuan Shanming and Shi Pang were also downstairs.
It's rare that these two people haven't slept yet at this time.
"Yeah," Bai Jinshu nodded, walked down the railing, and sat in the seat that Huangmao had vacated for him. "What are you guys talking about? Anything about ghost stories?"
"No, no, let's talk about something else," Xiao Fei lowered his voice and came closer, "Er Ge, you know what? This afternoon... No, yesterday afternoon, it's midnight now, it was yesterday afternoon."
"Yesterday afternoon, someone died in the teahouse's ghost story."
"Huh?" Bai Jinshu frowned slightly, "Someone died? Someone from our team died?"
He remembered that the ones who chose to stay in the teahouse and tell teahouse ghost stories were the male office worker in Yuan Shanming's team and another girl wearing a holiday-style long dress.
Lao Ma and Nian Yu didn't say where they were going, but Yuan Shanming took Lizi and Xiaotao out, so they were probably also in the teahouse.
"Did something happen to Nian Yu?" He looked at Yuan Shanming.
Nian Yu is the only one of the four who seems to die early. She can't hear any sound, which is almost fatal in any ghost story exploration.
Of course, this is what other people think.
Bai Jinshu didn't think that Nian Yu would die, he just followed the normal people's thinking and asked about the dead person's first reaction after hearing the news.
Among these four people, who is least likely to die is Nian Yu.
It is impossible for a hearing-impaired patient with a secret to die in the story of "Tea House".
As expected, Xiao Fei shook his head, with an expression that said, "Sure enough, Er Ge is not right." "No, it's the other two people who died."
The dead were the male office worker and the girl in the bohemian dress.
And in this story, the ones who survived are Lao Ma and... Nian Yu.
A couple who had absolutely no chance of surviving.
"The story they entered this time is about the one who replaced someone else's fame and obtained a high position and generous salary," Xiao Tang sighed while eating melon seeds, "Those two were so unlucky. The identity they got was that person who replaced someone else's fame. Was it Liu, Fan, or Zhou... Never mind, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the identities they got were servants in that person's house. When the whole family was executed, they didn't escape and died in there."
"As for Lao Ma... he was a groom," she shrugged, "Nian Yu was a mute girl selling flowers on the street. When the accident happened, these two were marginal figures, so no one cared if they ran away."
It sounds like two people were unlucky enough to be killed by the plot.
But Bai Jinshu felt that this matter was not that simple.
The ones who survived were Lao Ma and Nian Yu. Naturally, these two could say anything since there would be no evidence against them anyway.
A tower crane worker who is nearly 40 years old and a hearing-impaired person who can't even hear any sound, these two naturally disadvantaged identities will naturally make people relax their vigilance against them. If these two people want to attack other people, the success rate will be much higher.
But the weird thing is... the other two people have no grudges against them, right?
Even if these two people were members of the Foundation in disguise, they wouldn't kill them, right?
These two people...their identities are definitely not simple.
With this calculation, Yuan Shanming's team includes him, Xiao Tang, Lao Ma and Nian Yu, so the probability of problematic players is as high as a staggering 40%...
It's quite extreme.
The crowd was just talking about the story that happened in the teahouse.
Two people were also killed in Yuan Shanming's team, but the overall quality of the team members was not as good as the eight people in Shi Pang's team. They had not even come into contact with an S-level ghost story, so others would naturally be a little anxious. It was normal that they had not fallen asleep at this time.
And Shi Pang took on the role of comforting him.
"If it doesn't work, you can ask your teammates to join us in triggering the N port's ghost story." He was generous, but this generosity was just a verbal consolation. "But we are halfway through this ghost story and can't add people in the middle. Otherwise, let Xiao Tang, Er Si and the others who have buffs trigger other S-level ones."
"Let me think about it again," Yuan Shanming shook his head, "Ersi, I have other plans."
"It's okay," Shi Pang waved his hand, "Er Si and Xiao Tang are both good seedlings, don't worry!"
Naturally, his teammates also told him about the situation in the ghost story.
However, due to the strange nature of [Revenge], no one dared to say it in detail. They only mentioned roughly that the villagers in the village they entered were actually residents of another village that was burned down by fire decades ago.
In order to let the villagers who died unjustly rest in peace, Mr. Huang transferred their souls into a formation to make them forget the truth of their own deaths. At the same time, he suppressed a special extremely cold body among the dead in this village and sealed him with the souls of his twin brother and seven other people of the same age.
The final outcome was naturally that they escaped successfully, and Mr. Huang, who caused everything, died in there.
This strange story actually has many doubts.
I don't know if they deliberately didn't mention it or because everyone's memory gradually faded as they left the ghost story, but how the fire in Touzhou Village in the first place appeared in the ghost story, who the other gentleman in the minds of the villagers of Zhoufu was, the cause of Dahai's death, and the sacrifices placed in the river were all skipped over.
In the whole story, the biggest problem is actually the Buff.
Bai Jinshu stared at the small buff mark thoughtfully. The description of this thing is: [A Thousand Miles a Day: The holder can choose a location to teleport, regardless of the spatial distance. It refreshes every 12 hours, and the number of times is fixed at 1 and does not accumulate. ]
This thing is a teleportation buff as Shi Pang said.
But the question is...what does this buff have to do with [Revenge]?
The buffs created by the ghost stories in Xuxu Photo Studio are closely related to the process of the ghost stories, but there is no connection between [A Thousand Miles Away] and [Revenge].
Why on earth would such a strange story produce a special buff in this direction?
"Er Ge, Er Ge!" Xiao Fei's voice rang out, "What are you thinking about?"
Bai Jinshu suddenly came back to his senses.
"What's wrong?" He pressed his solar plexus, "I felt a little dazed just now, it might be the sequelae of Xiaochuan's physical condition."
"Oh," Xiao Fei said without any doubt, "We were just talking about Li Zi and the others going out today and receiving an invitation to a ghost story."
"A ghost story invite?" Bai Jinshu repeated, "Will a ghost story invite new people?"
Didn’t Yuan Shanming say that ghost stories can only be triggered?
"They triggered the initial conditions, so they received the invitation," Yuan Shanming tapped the teacup in his hand, "Also, this strange story has been around for a long time, and it's also well-known among the team leaders."
"How can he be just a little famous? He is well-known!" Shi Pang shouted beside him, "Who doesn't know Monopoly?"
"What is Monopoly?" Xiao Tang tilted his head curiously, "Is it the game I know?"
"Almost," Yuan Shanming said, "Monopoly is actually a nickname that we have passed down from mouth to mouth. The real name of this weird story is actually the [Business All-Round Challenge]."
"It's a ghost story with an uncertain range that can be triggered in any area of the Novice Village," Yuan Shanming explained. "The locations where the ghost story can be triggered will randomly appear in four areas of the Novice Village. In each area, countless people may receive invitations. The invitees will automatically form regional teams and be divided into four groups to fight."
"However, the specific content of the confrontation is similar to Monopoly. The scope of the ghost story is an unknown city. Each area will receive initial funds at the beginning of the game, and operate by buying and selling land to build houses and meeting conditions such as imprisonment or seizure. The last area to go bankrupt wins," Yuan Shanming pondered for a few seconds, "The winning area will receive a continuous regional buff. In this buffed area, the probability of triggering a ghost story will increase. So in general, the triggerers who enter this ghost story have their own ghost stories that they want to trigger, and they enter it to improve the triggering efficiency."
"But isn't it possible to trigger a ghost story just by meeting the conditions?" Xiao Tang didn't seem to understand. "What's the point of this efficiency?"
"It is useful. It will increase the error tolerance rate. Currently, triggering a ghost story requires meeting certain conditions because the error tolerance rate of a ghost story is very low. Therefore, you must obtain the necessary triggering objects or complete the triggering process before it can be triggered. However, this Buff will greatly increase the error tolerance rate," Shi Pang shook his head. "For example, suppose triggering an S-level ghost story requires completing a very complex procedure three times. If there is an error in any link during this process, the trigger will definitely fail."
"But with this buff, it will be easier to trigger, and even if there is an error, it will still be triggered successfully."
"Oh... I see," Xiao Fei nodded in sudden realization, "which means this Buff can simplify the process!"
It allows strange stories to be triggered without so many complicated processes.
"That's right," Yuan Shanming nodded, "So generally speaking, the teams that enter have already got clues to S-level ghost stories, and they choose to enter in order to reduce the difficulty of triggering them."
"Then what about now..." Xiao Tang seemed to be thinking about something, "We don't have any clues, so there's no point in going here."
"Shi Xiuzhu, don't you have one? Why don't I give you the opportunity?" She looked at Shi Pang's team members.
Isn’t Shi Pang’s team going to trigger an S-level ghost story?
"No, no!" Shi Pang waved his hands quickly, "You don't know, it's a rule that N Port doesn't participate in Monopoly!"
"Why?" Now, Xiao Fei was really curious.
"Because there are too many S-level ghost stories in N Port." Bai Jinshu suddenly spoke.
"Isn't it because there are so many that it's more worthwhile to get the Buff..."
Xiao Fei was halfway through his blank question when he was interrupted by Yuan Shanming: "Yes, it's because there are too many S-level ghost stories in Port N."
"There are two reasons why N Port does not participate in Monopoly. The first is to prevent the entire Novice Village from being destroyed. Otherwise, once the Super S-level super ghost story becomes easy to trigger, the consequences will be immeasurable. The second is that there are too many ghost stories in N Port. Once this BUFF is in place, it will become extremely easy for all teams to trigger S. The complicated triggering process is actually part of the selection of team members. Teams that are not qualified and do not have the corresponding strength to challenge S will only be wiped out if they trigger S," Yuan Shanming said bluntly, but this is the fact. "So due to the special nature of N Port, everyone's consensus is that N Port teams will not participate in Monopoly."
"So we won't participate in this," Shi Pang yawned, "No, I'm too sleepy, I'm going to sleep first, and I can't stand the same sleep as you guys who have slept for an entire afternoon."
The captain left first, and although the remaining team members were not too sleepy, they also left in twos and threes.
We are all smart people. Since Monopoly was triggered by someone in Yuan Shanming's team, it is very likely that they are holding clues to an S-level ghost story.
In this situation, it would be a bit tactless for outsiders like them to stay there.
After everyone in Shi Pang's team had left, Yuan Shanming slowly spoke: "Actually... I do have a clue to an S-level ghost story."
"But," he quickly changed the subject, "this location is not in S City."
Among the four people present, two were his favorite players, so he naturally did not hesitate to bring up this topic.
"This strange story is in Area W, and if we enter Monopoly, it will only represent the S City area," Yuan Shanming coughed lightly, "In this case, it's a bit embarrassing."
It would be fine if there was a W zone among the other four areas. In order to make the triggering easier, they could just secretly make some tricks to let the W zone win. But if there was no W zone, there would be no point in them entering Monopoly.
"So Brother Yuan, what are you planning to do now..." Bai Jinshu looked up.
Yuan Shanming said he was embarrassed, but if he really didn't intend to let them in, he wouldn't have deliberately kept the four of them.
Besides, he also wanted to take part in this weird story.
For no other reason than that it can connect with teams in other areas.
Now, as for the other members of the foundation, only Lu Changfeng was confirmed to be in Port N. There was another person in [0106] who was also among them, but it was not clear who he was. He had no other clues at all.
[A Thousand Miles a Day] He can teleport to any area. As long as he gets clues about the Foundation members, it will become much easier for him to find people.
He is very likely the only one among all the foundation members who have entered the investment bank who can move within the Novice Village area and connect all team members.
He couldn't miss this opportunity to meet players from other regions.
As for what Yuan Shanming thinks...
"Hmm..." Yuan Shanming scratched his head. "S City is not a traditional contestant area. It is famous for its many mid-level ghost stories. There are not many S-level ghost stories. Most teams in the area are not going for S. It is very likely that no one will enter except us. So in fact, except for us, it doesn't matter which area wins and gets the buff, because they must have S-level clues."
A hint of cunning flashed across his sincere face: "So as long as you know which area has won, it means you know which area is triggering an S that is extremely easy to trigger..."
Information about S-level ghost stories is not easy to obtain. Entering Monopoly means directly obtaining three clues to ghost stories that have been confirmed to be triggered. With Er Si's [Welcome!] and the newly refreshed [A Thousand Miles a Day], they can even run through the three areas in a few days and grab all these S-level ghost stories.
Yuan Shanming's ambition is obvious.
Xiao Tang rolled his eyes and said, "So we went in here just to lose?"
"Not only do you have to lose, you have to lose at the very last step," Bai Jinshu said slowly, dragging his chin, "otherwise... if you're eliminated at the beginning, how can you know who will be the final winner?"
It's easy to lose, but it's difficult to lose in the second to last round.
"Yes, but we won't force it," Yuan Shanming stood up and said with a smile, "Anyway, as long as we enter, we can get information about three S-level ghost stories. We will definitely make a profit."
It doesn't matter which area gets the Buff in the end. Under Ersi's [Welcome!], all ghost stories will tend to choose him.
"Tsk, tsk, so dirty..." Xiao Tang shook his head and sighed, yawning loudly and walking upstairs, "Let's talk about it tomorrow, I'm sleepy again, good night."
"Ersi?" Yuan Shanming looked at Bai Jinshu.
"I have no problem," Bai Jinshu nodded, "But Brother Yuan, is it still too late for the one in Area W you mentioned after Monopoly is over?"
"It's still in time," Yuan Shanming nodded and lowered his voice, "Don't forget, we are here to grab the ghost stories, not to trigger them. Isn't it just right to wait until they have almost triggered them before grabbing them?"
Having said that, it is obvious what Yuan Shanming's future plans for their team are.
[A Thousand Miles a Day] provides teleportation, [Monopoly] points out the direction of three S-level ghost stories, and the buff [Welcome!] obtained by the core character of the entire team, Bai Jinshu, is the key to ensuring that the ghost stories can be grabbed.
"Okay, I got it. I'll go to bed too." Bai Jinshu nodded and walked upstairs.
"Oh, right," he turned around and said, "since this rich man is not dangerous, why don't we ask Lao Ma and Nian Yu to come as well? It's too dangerous for them to stay in the teahouse and tell ghost stories."
"Okay," Yuan Shanming was stunned for a moment, "I didn't expect you to care about them so much..."
Under the glory of the S-level ghost story and two excellent teammates, he actually no longer cares about the lives of other people in the team. As long as he completes an S, his points will reach an unprecedented height.
"We are all teammates, so we should show some concern for them." Bai Jinshu nodded, hiding the subtle look in his eyes and turned around. "Anyway, one of them is a crane worker, and the other can't hear. They won't add anything to our plan, nor will they have any impact."
More importantly, he really wanted to know what these two people were trying to do.
At the moment it seems... they teamed up in the ghost story yesterday afternoon and completely eliminated their two teammates.
Inside Xuxu Studio, Li Zi's words echoed in Bai Jinshu's ears -
"Er Ge, I swear what I'm going to say next is true," she raised three fingers, looking very serious, "Nian Yu is not a human."
"Huh?" Bai Jinshu thought she would say that Nian Yu was not really deaf, or that it was a "secret" like Nian Yu could speak.
But he didn't expect that Li Zi would say that she was not a human as soon as she opened her mouth.
As if she realized her excitement, Li Zi slowed down for a few seconds: "I... I don't mean that. What I mean is, what I mean is that Nian Yu is not an ordinary person! She is not a disabled person who can't hear! Er Ge, believe me!"
"Don't get excited," Bai Jinshu said calmly, "Speak slowly, I don't disbelieve you."
He knew that something was wrong with Nian Yu, but he didn't know exactly what was wrong.
"Okay... okay, just believe me. I'll tell you slowly. Nian Yu is not an ordinary person. She seems to be... some kind of witch!"
Li Zi didn't sound like she was joking. She rubbed her face and tried to suppress the panic in her heart: "The night before yesterday, I was halfway through my sleep when I vaguely heard a rustling sound. I thought the teahouse was not clean and there were bugs in the guest room..."
"I, I have been afraid of bugs since I was a child. I dared not get out of bed when I heard the sound. I could only stay in the quilt and wait for the bugs to leave the room." Li Zi paused, "But the sound kept ringing. It was very faint, but it never stopped. It sounded like there were bugs circling in the room. I was afraid that the bugs would crawl onto my bed. I was so sleepy that I dared not sleep. I only dared to lift the quilt a little, and was always alert to the direction where the sound came from."
It was at that moment that she saw in the moonlight a scene that gave her goose bumps on her back.
She saw groups of black spots gathered around the bed next to her, so densely packed that they almost formed a small hill.
In front of the hill is Nianyu.
The mountain of insects rushed towards her one after another. They fought fiercely, biting their companions' bodies and tearing their own limbs, making "cracking" sounds.
Finally, a wounded insect won the victory. It climbed up a hill of corpses of its own kind and stretched out its forelimbs towards Nianyu.
Nian Yu stretched out a hand and picked it up.
She was still as quiet as ever, sitting by the bed and looking at the bug, her lips moving slightly as if she was saying something, but no sound came out.
When she woke up the next day, looking at the empty room and the clean bed, Li Zi almost suspected that she had had a nightmare and dreamed of this strange scene.
It wasn't until the next day that she saw the bug again.
It huddled in Nianyu's palm, curled up docilely, with its sharp pincers tucked into its abdomen, looking completely different from how it was that night.
Bai Jinshu lowered his eyes and continued walking upstairs.
