Chapter 191 Peeling an Apple
The host took Xia Wange to another small room and handed her a piece of paper.
"This is the next game, and you have to complete it alone." After the host said this, he glanced at the three ghosts behind Xia Wange and didn't say much.
The rules only mention one person, and don't say you can't bring a ghost.
But it is very rare to see someone like this bringing three people with him, and others don’t even dare to play with just one.
He will have to ask his superiors later how to deal with such things.
"What are you looking at?" Xia Wange raised her hand and waved it in front of the host, then she looked back, "Is there anything behind me?"
"I didn't see anything." The host retracted his gaze, "Aren't you scared? You've played it so many times."
"I am a staunch materialist, and my companions believe this very much. So I will complete as many games as possible here, and then walk out of here with a clear conscience and tell him that there are not so many ghosts in the world."
The host looked at Xia Wange's determined eyes, glanced at the three ghosts behind him, and curled his lips, "Then I hope you can leave here smoothly."
After that, he opened the door of the small room behind him and said, "Please come in."
Xia Wange glanced at the structure of the small room and the two white candles in front of the mirror and said, "Wait a minute, I need to deflate the air."
The host frowned, "Are you going to give up?"
"Deflate, that deflate." Xia Wange said, "Hey, I want to let some fresh air in. I'm worried about lack of oxygen. Besides, the light inside is too dim. It's not good for my eyesight to read the words on this paper. I see there is a flashlight behind you. Can you lend it to me?"
The host reached for the flashlight behind him and said in a dissatisfied tone: "This thing is not good, you can't touch it."
"Then you touch it." Xia Wange said directly, "Come on, give me a flashlight so I can read the instructions. I'll go in later."
The host looked at the man in front of him with a nonchalant look and felt a little angry, but when he saw the three ghosts following him, his anger subsided.
Why bother with a dying person?
So he took out a flashlight to help Xia Wange illuminate the paper. The instantaneous brightness made Xia Wange's eyes a little uncomfortable. She squinted her eyes and read as she looked:
"A mirror, a fruit knife, a few apples and lit white candles have been prepared in the room. It is best to start the game at midnight and make sure there is no sound in the room."
"Note: When peeling an apple, the skin must not break, and the thinner the better. If the skin breaks, there may be unexpected consequences."
"After you peel the apple, wait for something unusual to appear on the mirror, then you can ask the Mirror Fairy questions."
After reading it, Xia Wange asked, "But the guide I made seems to allow me to see your past life?"
"Do you believe this?" the host said, "The psychic games in our manor are all about finding out what you most want to know in your heart in this life, not some fictitious things like your past life."
Xia Wange touched his chin and said, "What if I really want to know about my past life?"
host:"......"
He took a deep breath, "Then ask, ask, as long as you can invite, you can ask anything, please, please, twelve o'clock is almost here."
Looking at the person in front of her who had broken down, Xia Wange shrugged and walked into the small room. The door had been closed at this time. She looked at the knife and apple in front of her and glanced at the time on the side.
In just a few breaths, it was already twelve o'clock.
Xia Wange started to peel the apple in front of the mirror. She gestured with the knife twice and was stunned for a moment. Xia Wange suddenly remembered the apple that Lu Qiu peeled for her in the ward a few days ago. The skin was thin and continuous. She was different from him, who could only peel candles and would just wash the apple with water every time she ate it.
Thinking of this, Xia Wange thought about how Lu Qiu peeled the apple that day, and slowly peeled the apple skin bit by bit. Just when she had peeled half of it, the apple skin broke.
Frowning, she picked up another one and started peeling it. This time, she had only peeled off a quarter of it when there was a sudden change in the mirror. Her eyes, which were originally looking down at the apple, suddenly turned and looked at her, and then slowly revealed a weird smile.
She in the mirror raised her hand and slowly stretched it forward. The mirror surface began to crack bit by bit. Xia Wange directly knocked the mirror off with her elbow and said in dissatisfaction: "Don't disturb me while I'm peeling an apple."
After saying that, the apple peel broke again. Xia Wange made a soft "tsk" sound and glanced at the fourth ghost following behind him. If it wasn't inconvenient to take action now.
You wait.
Thinking of this, she calmed down and continued to peel.
After trying several times, Xia Wange found that she could only attract three "Mirror Fairies" at most, so she gave up, took out a plastic bag from her pocket, put four half-peeled apples in it, and then bit one of them in her mouth.
Not long after, the host saw Xia Wange coming out chewing an apple. He glanced at the reflection behind him and vaguely saw three ghosts following him. He raised his eyebrows uncontrollably, "How is it going?"
Three plus three, six. That's good. It broke the record. This was the most he had ever seen. He couldn't even imagine how this woman would die.
"The apple skin wasn't completely peeled, but you know I don't believe that."
The host didn't say much, just chuckled, "There are no games tonight, you can go back and rest."
"Okay." After saying that, Xia Wange deliberately went around to the aisle of the Pen Fairy and went upstairs. She took a glance and found that there was a girl sitting in the corner shivering and followed by a female ghost.
She remembered that this girl lived in room 403 next to them.
"Do you want to go back together?" Xia Wange glanced at the name on the other party's badge, "Xinxin."
The girl looked up, her eyes completely red from shock. She nodded quickly, then followed Xia Wange tremblingly, like a frightened bird.
Taking Xinxin upstairs, Xia Wange pressed the elevator button and asked, "Why are you so scared? What questions did you ask?"
"The pen fell here." Xinxin's voice was filled with tears, "I'm so scared."
"It's okay." Xia Wange comforted, "The pen fell here three times, but it's still fine, isn't it?"
Xinxin glanced at her and said, "Xiao Ke, I was really scared. I asked the Pen Fairy if there were really evil spirits here, and then the pen fell. Do you think I would be haunted by the Pen Fairy?! I didn't know what was wrong with my brain at the time, and I suddenly asked this question. After asking it, I knew it was not good, and the result..."
Xia Wange stared at the changing numbers on the elevator. Sometimes, ghosts would indeed affect people's thinking and make their brains go crazy for no reason. In fact, the biggest reason was that the dark and insufficient oxygen environment caused a slight lack of oxygen.
