Chapter 185 Short Hair
Lin Xi returned to the real world, to the same custom-made room she'd entered. This time, she wasn't quite as sleepy, perhaps because she'd slept for a while in the dungeon. When she left the room, she saw Li Lana waiting for her. Lin Xi asked, "Is there anyone in the base who can cut hair?"
Lin Xi hadn't been a homebody when Shen Sangning was alive; she'd often gone out with her. But after Shen Sangning's death, she'd become even more of a homebody. She didn't like going out much, except for the one time she'd been out with He Sitong and Li Lana. That outing hadn't ended well; they'd even been surrounded by members of the Advent Cult.
The good news is that the Adventists should be able to take care of themselves now because their boss was killed by themselves.
Strictly speaking, he was not killed by himself, but by the white ghost in the white fog.
Thinking of this, Lin Xi asked another question: "Is the leader of the Advent Sect dead? I left him in the white fog, so he can't possibly survive."
Li Lana had two questions in her mind. She answered the more important one first - "The cafeteria auntie used to work in a hair salon. She can cut your hair." It's no wonder that Li Lana felt that this question was more important, because this question really tested her professionalism, referring to her psychological research.
She certainly couldn't find a chef named Tony who had particularly good skills for Lin Xi. Otherwise, given the current state of the stupid Ning Ning, if she saw that Lin Xi's hairstyle was much better than hers after returning, she would definitely be sulking and think that she didn't do a good enough job.
As for Shen Sangning's mental state, they had done a particularly thorough study.
We can't find someone too bad. If we do, Shen Sangning will probably think that the base is full of losers who can't even do their hair properly, and they're not even taking care of Lin Xi's daily life. Maybe when I get out later, I'll find trouble with them.
So we could only find someone who was neither good nor bad. The canteen aunt was the most suitable person. She had skills. Not only had she worked in a hair salon before, but she also worked as a canteen aunt in the base. The staff in the base didn't go out often, so they would ask the aunt to help them cut their hair.
But her skills are just so-so, not very good at all. She gives all the boys a uniform buzz cut, which, as my aunt said, is straight and pleasing to the eye. As for the girls' hair, she does put a lot of thought into it, but the resulting designs are rather old-fashioned Hong Kong-style, and few of the female staff members, except Teacher Cai Hua, are satisfied with them.
Sister Bing was quite satisfied, because most of them had short hair, which this auntie was good at.
If Lin Xi wants to have her hair cut short, it shouldn't be a problem for her aunt.
Lin Xi responded and said, "I'll go find my aunt later."
Li Lana then answered the second question: "Robert is confirmed dead. He didn't last long in the white fog. There was a white ghost following your bus. When it saw Robert, it pounced on him like a hungry tiger and ate him up completely."
Lin Xi nodded and prepared to go find her aunt to fill her stomach first and then have her aunt tidy up her hair. Li Lana sent a text message to the cafeteria, and her aunt was woken up in her sleep. Her aunt had no complaints at all, and the logistics staff of their base were happy to serve the anchors like Lin Xi.
Because they all knew that it was because of people like Lin Xi who were blocking in front that the rule weirdness didn't come to the real world. Once it came, their relatives, friends and children might be selected. Before, the mother of a person in the main control room was selected. Although it was only that time, these things were engraved in their hearts.
The staff's ideology and morality must be up to standard, otherwise they cannot enter the base.
So the aunt was not angry at all when she was woken up, but happily made supper for Lin Xi. She even said proudly: "Lin Xi likes the noodles I cook. Others can't figure out how soft or hard she likes them. And the coffee I brew is the best for her taste!"
When Lin Xi came over, she immediately brought the tomato noodles in front of Lin Xi, which contained a braised egg and a big chicken drumstick.
"Eat quickly, kid. You've become thinner again. I specially braised this big chicken drumstick yesterday. I braised it for a whole day. I knew you would come back today! I wanted to wait until you woke up before giving it to you. It's the same if you eat it now. It's braised thoroughly. You can poke it open with chopsticks."
The aunt kept talking, but Lin Xi didn't find it annoying. She actually felt that she hadn't lost weight. During the dungeon, she had Shen Sang Ning to take care of her. Shen Sang Ning went out to find three meals a day, and there were also snacks to eat. Not to mention that she hadn't lost weight, Lin Xi felt that she might have gained weight if she didn't exercise.
But the chicken legs that Auntie stewed are really delicious. If you don't have a skill, it's not easy to enter the base. Lin Xi was very happy eating noodles. He slurped a mouthful of noodles with sour tomato flavor. Then he took a bite of stewed egg and a bite of chicken leg. It was so delicious.
Lin Xi finished his noodles, wiped his mouth, and drank a sip of the boiled water that the aunt brought him. Then he said to her, "Aunt, please trim my hair. Don't trim it too nicely. If it's too nice, my wife will be unhappy."
Auntie smiled: "Ningning, right? Auntie knows that Ningning is very jealous. Auntie doesn't want to be jealous of Ningning."
Sometimes, people are really strange.
Shen Sangning's parents couldn't understand her and didn't even acknowledge the
That was Chen Sangning; as an outsider, the base aunt not only liked the Chen Sangning in the live broadcast room, recognized the relationship between Lin Xi and Shen Sangning, but also knew Chen Sangning's temper.
The aunt brought out a chair and Lin Xi sat on it. She found a large plastic bag and put it on Lin Xi, then took out a pair of scissors and started trimming Lin Xi's hair. There was no mirror in the cafeteria, so I didn't know how the aunt was trimming. My phone was not with me, so I could only wait until I got back to my room to see it.
Fortunately, Li Lana, who had been with Lin Xi, had her cell phone with her. She took out her cell phone and put it in front of Lin Xi, asking her to see her aunt's craftsmanship.
The aunt's hands were much more skilled than Shen Sangning's, and her posture was also experienced, but she did not deliberately exert herself, but trimmed it according to the traces of Shen Sangning's trimming. Overall, it was still the dog-bitten look that Shen Sangning had trimmed, but it was much neater and more pleasing to the eye.
After the haircut, there wasn't much stray hair on the neck, just a little bit, and she would feel refreshed after taking a shower. Lin Xi took Li Lana's phone, looked at her appearance, nodded, and prepared to leave. Before leaving, Lin Xi still asked Li Lana, "Did the nurse anchor on the fourth floor survive?"
Li Lana seemed to have known that she would ask this question and answered directly: "No, she has passed away. She lived until the last moment. In the end, there was only the image of the nurse ghost walking towards her. Soon after, the live broadcast room was completely dark."
Lin Xi said "Oh" and didn't show any reaction, but Li Lana was a psychology major and could tell at a glance that Lin Xi's mood had become much lower. Lin Xi probably also had a last glimmer of hope, hoping that the anchor could survive.
Although the other person is just a stranger whose name she can't even remember, he must be a very important person among her family and friends.
Lin Xi had a clear conscience about not being able to save her, but he still felt regretful for the loss of a life.
Li Lanna comforted her, "It's none of your business. You've done well enough. No matter who comes, the outcome will be the same. To put it bluntly, she gave up the possibility of survival." Li Lanna paused before continuing, "In fact, from my point of view, I don't even want you to take her with you. She's just a burden to you and will only hinder your escape. She's just an ordinary person with no training. She's also very likely to get hurt while running. Taking care of her may put you in a passive position."
"Lin Xi, your existence is more precious than you think. No matter what, you must always prioritize protecting yourself."
What Li Lana said was quite right, and Lin Xi herself knew this too.
"No one will blame you. Just look forward and stop dwelling on her. Have a good rest. There are tough battles ahead."
"I know." Lin Xi sighed, said goodbye to Li Lana, and returned to her resting room. She went to the shower room to take a shower first, and came out after washing all the broken hair on her body. The cafeteria aunt cut her hair and didn't leave too many broken hair, but she couldn't stand the many broken hairs left on her by Shen Sang Ning.
Lin Xi blew her hair dry and then looked in the mirror and pinched her short hair. She had long hair for a long time, so it was a little strange to suddenly cut it short. But her hair was not particularly short, it was a little Japanese style, not too tight, which was good.
These days, short hair with iron T-shirts is no longer popular. If it's too iron, people will say it's greasy. But Lin Xi is a greasy person, so she probably doesn't mind being labeled as an iron T-shirt.
After a few more narcissistic musings about how handsome and beautiful he was, a perfect match for Chen Sang Ning, Lin Xi finally lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. He hadn't been particularly sleepy since emerging from the dungeon, but after eating and taking a shower, sleepiness had taken over. Lin Xi yawned a few times before curling up in bed and falling into a deep sleep.
This time she slept until one or two in the afternoon. After getting up, she washed and went to the cafeteria to eat. After eating and resting for a while to digest the food, she was taken away for various examinations. Especially for the abrasions on her body, the doctor did her best to treat her wounds.
"No, there's really no need to treat it. My wounds would have healed completely by now."
For Lin Xi, who had often been injured during training, this small scratch and fall was nothing but a minor incident. However, the doctors were very careful and only let her go after they had treated her. As soon as she came out of the examination room, Lin Xi was called away by Cai Hua again.
Cai Hua's face was extremely serious this time, because through the Qingmu Mental Hospital dungeon, mainly from Sun Ke's mouth, they had obtained a lot of information, and from this information, they could deduce a lot of information. After they held a meeting to summarize and report this information and received a response, Cai Hua immediately came over to synchronize it with Lin Xi.
But the first thing Lin Xi thought of when she saw Cai Hua was, "Are you sure you don't want to go take a rest first?"
