Chapter 016 Bathroom Faucet
The following night was much the same as the previous one, except that Dad came home later, not until 5:30. At the dinner table, he even asked the two children about their homework. Lin Xi had no idea what the art class was about, but she was somewhat surprised: ghosts actually had to go to school and work.
And they are really unpredictable. After breakfast in the morning, my younger brother and sister didn’t come home until four o’clock, and my dad didn’t come home until half past five. That time is so long...tsk tsk.
The younger brother excitedly told his father what he had played with his friends today. He was also preparing to eat. Mom made braised chicken tonight, and the big chicken drumstick looked very tempting. But before he could even reach out his chopsticks, the younger brother saw Lin Xi pick up the big chicken drumstick and take it away.
Needless to say, the braised chicken my mother made was delicious. The chicken was stewed until soft and rotten. When the chicken leg fell into the bowl, the braised broth covered the white rice, which looked very appetizing. Lin Xi took a bite of the big chicken leg, and his brother next to him looked like he wanted to cry but couldn't.
He looked at his parents, whose faces were sullen and expressionless. He knew they were no match for Lin Xi. So he could only pout and continue eating.
These ghosts probably didn't know that Lin Xi was thinking about feeding all of them to Shen Sangning. She was eating at the table, but Shen Sangning was still hungry. She wasn't the kind of person who only cared about herself. In her heart, her wife was very important.
Whenever she thought of Shen Sangning's pitiful "hungry" words, she wanted to turn all those ghosts into little black balls and feed them to her wife. However, the main rules of "Sweet Home" kept her from making any rash moves. Especially the clearance requirements, which were crucial to her.
The conditions for clearing this instance are:
1. Successfully survive in this world for seven days;
2. Gain his/her recognition and become a member of this family.
This is very tricky, because it just puts 1 and 2 together. Lin Xi doesn't even know whether it is an "and" or "or" relationship. If it is "or", it will be much easier. Just live for seven days. At present, this condition does not seem to be difficult for Lin Xi.
With Chen Sangning protecting him, as long as he didn't commit suicide, Lin Xi's life would be guaranteed. But if the second point had to be completed, it would be very difficult. First of all, there was "they", and this "they" didn't even specify who they were.
Is it the four members of this family? Or is it this family?
Lin Xi didn't know. If it was the former, she couldn't touch them and even had to protect them. If it was the latter, the rules always emphasized that family members should love each other and help each other. If they violated this rule, they would not be able to gain the family's approval.
So no matter what, Lin Xi couldn't let Chen Sangning eat these four ghosts now.
Then the question arose: if he couldn't eat those four ghosts, what would happen if his wife went hungry? If he didn't take any risks, he could indeed get through the seven days safely. Gaining her approval could be done slowly. But letting his wife starve for seven days? No, Lin Xi simply couldn't do it.
Lin Xi thought of a key point, which was the neighbor downstairs. The fourth rule in the living room was "Keep quiet and don't disturb the neighbor downstairs." That was to say, there were other residents in this building, and there were also people living in 303 downstairs... Maybe they were not people, but ghosts, otherwise it would not be specifically written in the rules.
But it was already late today, so there was no way to test it. Lin Xi had read a lot of horror novels, so she knew the later it got, the more dangerous it was. She just wanted to make something to fill her wife's stomach, not put herself in danger.
So she decided to run the experiment next time.
But Lin Xi didn’t expect that Shen Sang Ning still ate something at night.
She already knew the bathroom rules. As long as it didn't take more than half an hour, it was fine to take a quick shower. She didn't shower yesterday, and she also cooked at noon today, so she smelled of oil smoke. She had to shower. So Lin Xi asked her mother for a new towel. She looked at her mother and said, "Why do you need a new one? It's such a waste." But she still found a new towel for Lin Xi.
There was no other reason, he was simply afraid that he would be killed by Shen Sang Ning.
Lin Xi even urged her to find her a new set of pajamas. After getting her things from her mother, she went to the bathroom to shower. But the bathroom was clearly not simple. Yesterday, Lin Xi had been bleeding repeatedly when she used it. It hadn't happened during the day, but now it had started again. As expected, nighttime was when ghosts were most active.
The showerhead didn't release clear, transparent hot water, but rather sticky blood. It pooled together, hit the bathroom tiles, and slid toward the drain. Just like yesterday, Lin Xi quickly turned off the shower and waited a moment before turning it back on.
The situation was the same as yesterday, repeated two or three times, still full of blood. Lin Xi patiently waited until the fifth time before realizing: whatever was living in the pipe clearly didn't want to make things easy for her.
This should be considered dinner delivered to your door, right? As the saying goes, if there is a road to heaven but you don't take it, there is no door to hell but you break in. This guy is determined to die, so of course Lin Xi will satisfy him.
Lin Xi called out, "Wife," and Shen Sangning slowly emerged from her body. She hadn't turned off the shower head, and blood was dripping from it, but the moment she saw Shen Sangning, the dripping speed slowed down significantly.
"It's time for dinner."
Lin Xi said softly, Shen Sang Ning smiled, and then stretched out her hand towards the shower. She was originally a physical body, but Lin Xi saw Shen Sang Ning's hand go into the shower, this scene was quite unique and even a little strange. She could clearly see Shen Sang Ning's hand, and she could also clearly see the shower. In her cognition, these two things could not overlap, but they overlapped in Lin Xi's sight.
Both existed objectively and overlapped with each other. This strange and distorted image made Lin Xi physically uncomfortable, and she even felt like vomiting. To prevent herself from actually vomiting, Lin Xi turned her eyes away.
Lin Xi could choose not to watch it, but the people in her live broadcast room couldn't help but watch it. Some people with fast hands had already changed the live broadcast room, but some brave guys just wanted to see what was going on.
They saw Chen Sangning pull a dark, red object out of the shower head, then roll it into a black ball and eat it. However, as she pulled it, her hand also reached into the shower head. The two objects overlapped but did not block each other, causing her brain to defend herself.
[What the hell is going on?!]
[I won't say any more. I'm going to go vomit for a while.]
[My brain is telling me I can’t take it anymore. I feel dizzy after watching for a while.]
[No, it turns out my wife isn't a physical entity? When I was hugging her before, I thought she was a physical entity.]
[A true four-dimensional creature feels just like fire...]
After Chen Sang Ning finished eating the ghost, she returned to Lin Xi and rubbed against her. Lin Xi patted Chen Sang Ning and looked at the big eye camera again. The big eye camera trembled, probably because it was afraid that Lin Xi would also feed it to Chen Sang Ning.
But Lin Xi would not do anything to it, after all, if the camera was gone, he didn't know whether the live studio would resend it to him. Lin Xi guessed that it would not, because once it was resent, it would be stuck by a bug, eating, resending, eating, and resending. In order to prevent this from happening, he would probably become a black anchor.
By then, no kind-hearted person would be able to provide information to him, and the organizer might even kill him in anger. In order to prevent such a thing from happening, Lin Xi would not do something like eating the big eyeball.
However, this thing was live 24/7. It wouldn't focus on him unless he moved it aside to go to the bathroom. But once he let go, it would focus on him again within two minutes. A shower would definitely take more than two minutes, so Lin Xi thought for a moment and handed the big eyeball to Chen Sang Ning.
She told Shen Sangning: "Ningning, when I take a shower later, you hold down its big eyeballs and don't let it look at me. If it sees me, I will be seen naked by others." Lin Xi instructed Shen Sangning very seriously, and Shen Sangning also listened to it with a serious face.
Shen Sangning stared at the big eyeball fiercely. If it looked towards Lin Xi, Shen Sangning would reach out and stab it. The big eyeball trembled in Shen Sangning's hand, and it could feel the strength of Shen Sangning's grip on it.
At this time, the direction of the barrage became strange:
【What can't our valued tourists see? 】
[To be honest, even if Ningning turns into a ghost, she's still pretty good-looking...]
[Ningning is so well behaved, she just stares at the big eyes without moving.]
[Oh my god, Lin Xi, please take the camera away quickly. I will have nightmares if Chen Sang Ning stares at me like this. ]
[Am I the only one who noticed that Ningning is sitting on the toilet now? ]
Seeing how serious Chen Sang Ning was, Lin Xi took off her clothes with satisfaction and went into the bathroom. This time, what came out of the shower was not sticky blood, but warm water. Lin Xi did not dare to take a shower for too long, as she was afraid of exceeding thirty minutes. She felt that the thirty-minute limit should not have been written by a family member, but was set by the family itself.
She didn't want her family to think that she broke the rules and thus could not get their approval, but she was also worried that her family's trigger mechanism was more powerful than Chen Sang Ning's, so she quickly washed and came out of the bathroom. She saw Chen Sang Ning still sitting obediently on the toilet lid, hugging her big eyes and looking into their eyes, and she thought the scene was a little funny.
"Ningning, just stare at it for a while while I blow dry my hair."
"good."
