Chapter 005: Netherworld Cemetery (IV)
"Why?" Mary was the first to object.
Zhang Yu glanced at Ma Li, and Ma Li shrank back instantly.
With a fake smile on his face, Zhang Yu explained, "You are different! Miss Bai is a distinguished VIP customer. Who are you? You actually want to visit in front of Miss Bai, huh."
Even though they knew they were in a rule-based weird dungeon, Zhang Yu's words still made everyone furious.
Huang Hong was the most excited. If Xu Sheng hadn't stopped him, he would have opened the door and gone in.
Xu Sheng: "Don't get excited, don't get excited."
There is no way to tell whether Zhang Yu’s words are lies, but no one wants to verify with their own life what will happen when visiting in front of the VIPs.
The others looked at Bai Tao with pity. In their hearts, Bai Tao would become the second person to die in a ghost story.
Seeing Bai Tao standing still, Ma Li urged: "Bai Tao, time is limited, please go in and take a look."
Bai Tao ignored Ma Li and asked Zhang Yu: "Miss Zhang, what time do you get off work?"
Zhang Yu took a deep breath, moved his mouth slightly and said, "I'll get off work in the early morning." His voice was very low, but Bai Tao had good ears.
Bai Tao glanced at the clock and asked, "So it's night now?"
Zhang Yu's pupils dilated for a moment, and Bai Tao saw it.
Without Zhang Yu's answer, Bai Tao had already gotten the answer she wanted.
The visiting time is from 7:00 to 12:00, a total of five hours, which is also the safe time for Bai Tao and others.
There is no doubt that after get off work, Zhang Yu has no obligation to serve customers.
"So the others have to visit one by one too?"
The misleading information was exposed. Zhang Yu looked at Bai Tao angrily and replied, "No, at least one person can visit at the same time, and at most three people can visit at the same time."
"VIP guest, please come in."
Bai Tao shrugged and walked in.
There is no need to look for it, the rule paper is clearly placed at the entrance.
Single Cemetery Visitor Guide
1. Only three people or less are allowed to visit the single cemetery at a time.
2. This cemetery has only three rooms. Only one person is allowed in each room at the same time. Visitors must visit all rooms.
3. There is no TV in the cemetery during the day, but you must watch TV for 5 minutes at night. When watching TV, please sit on the sofa.
4. You can only enter after 11pm▆▆
5. Make sure you rest in bed between 10pm and 6am.
6. You can use the house as you like, but remember to be frugal and avoid waste.
The rules say there are only three rooms, but there are four doors in front of Bai Tao.
She was in the entrance hall, in front of her was a corridor with four transparent glass doors on the wall.
Through the glass, you can see one or two uses of the room.
There are four doors, namely the bedroom, kitchen, living room and bathroom.
Choose three out of four, the rules can help identify safe rooms.
As long as Bai Tao doesn't rely solely on luck, he will be confident.
Rule three [No TV during the day, must watch TV at night] corresponds to the living room, and Bai Tao saw the TV in the living room.
Rule 5: Make sure you rest in bed between 10pm and 6am.
So the bedroom is also a safe room.
Only the bathroom and kitchen are unknown.
Rule 4: The blocked characters correspond to the last room.
Bai Tao prefers the bathroom, but there is no rush. Since they have to visit all the rooms, she might as well look for clues in other rooms first.
Enter the living room.
The living room is not big, but it has a balcony with a huge floor-to-ceiling window.
There wasn't much furniture, just a sofa, a clock and the TV mentioned in the rules.
The clock is hidden in the corner and can only be seen when you enter the room. It shows the time 10:50.
'No TV during the day', so it's night time.
However, Bai Tao looked at the bright sunshine outside the window and then at the light on the ceiling.
Against the backdrop of the sun outside, the lights were not so bright, but she did not forget Rule 6 [Be thrifty and avoid waste]
I flipped the switch, the overhead lights went out, and the crisis was temporarily resolved.
Bai Tao did not take it lightly.
The time here is inconsistent with that outside the room and the copy.
And the definitions of day and night are reversed.
'Must watch TV at night'
There's no point worrying about it, so just watch TV and quickly move into the next room.
Sitting at the edge of the sofa, the sound appeared faster than the TV picture.
A sound more disturbing than the noise was right next to Bai Tao's ears, giving her a headache and making her feel nauseous.
The picture then appeared, and a man appeared in the center of the picture singing, and the so-called 'noise' was made by him.
"He sings so beautifully," Bai Tao subconsciously hummed the tune in her heart.
'La la la la la~'
It's not good. The man on TV is a human being. He has a cemetery work ID on his chest. It's exactly the same as Zhang Yugougou's work ID, but the content on it can't be seen clearly.
The second half of the second rule of "Guest Rules of the Netherworld Cemetery":
[There are no human staff at this cemetery. If you see a human staff, do not talk to them. Tell the security guard and they will handle it. Shout "I need security" and they will appear.]
Bai Tao covered her mouth. There was no doubt that singing was also a form of conversation.
Bai Tao didn't know whether calling the security guard counted as talking to someone, but she remembered another rule: Only one person can exist in a room at a time.
If you are not careful, you will fall into the trap.
If you just can't talk to her, Bai Tao has a solution.
He put his hands together and began to clap quickly and enthusiastically. The continuous applause disrupted the rhythm of the human staff.
At the same time, Bai Tao's desire to sing also decreased a lot.
There are still 3 minutes and 20 seconds left, Bai Tao thought, she didn't mind if the man continued singing despite the pain to her ears.
Unfortunately, the singer on TV was not satisfied with the audience’s applause and ran away angrily.
Without a pause, the next thing that appeared was a TV shopping ad for Netherworld Cemetery.
A phone spirit appears in the picture.
"Today's cemetery doesn't cost 2998, nor 1998, but only 998, only 998, the new cemetery will become your home..."
The slogan is almost the same, but the ending is changed.
"Pick up the phone now, no down payment is required, just one phone call to bring home a brand new cemetery. There are only 3 cemeteries left at this discounted price, so hurry up and buy them."
The phone rang: "Hello, is this Miss Zhang? Order a set? Sure, sure."
The person on the phone continued, "There are only two left. The boss said he would offer a discount. The last two units will be sold at half price. You can buy two units for the price of one."
The phone call on TV was hoarse, with one person playing multiple roles and his voice was almost hoarse.
Outside the TV, Bai Tao had a cold and apathetic look on her face. She stared at the TV and counted the time silently in her heart.
Comment: Not as good as the previous show.
Countdown 35, 34, 33...
"Why didn't you call and buy the cemetery? Why?"
The phone couldn't hold it anymore, it wanted to get out of the TV.
Maybe it should change its image. Sadako would be a good choice. Only when it pops out of the TV like this will it scare people.
Bai Tao's eyes were always on the TV.
3, 2, 1, 0
When the time was up, she approached the TV, scaring the phone into taking a step back.
What a coward, but Bai Tao had no intention of intimidating him. She kept in mind the rule of 'thrift and no waste' and made sure the TV was turned off before leaving.
The switch was right in front of her, Bai Tao stretched out her hand, ready to press it...
The phone flashed and appeared right in front of the TV switch, less than five centimeters away from Bai Tao's palm.
Motion has inertia.
It takes time for the brain to respond after it issues a command.
Bai Tao has no way to avoid...
Show weakness and then use contempt to deliver a fatal blow. Bai Tao realized that this is the telephone spirit's way of attack.
Her brain was working rapidly, as long as she was not in a deadly situation, she could survive.
However, the phone failed to hit the car and Bai Tao did not touch it.
Bai Tao stared at her hands, and her hands stopped.
The reaction speed brought by the 'White Peach' body created by the system made her stop.
But now is not the time to dwell on these things.
The phone is not considered a 'person', it is a prop and does not trigger the rule of multiple people being in one room.
[Name: Talking Phone (Prop)]
【Description: This is a talking phone. As long as you know the real name, you can call anyone through it.
Note: The person who answers the call will unconditionally agree to the caller's request. 】
Very powerful tool.
So after magnifying the contempt, the target this time is greed?
If a tenant steals something, he becomes a thief.
Bai Tao was able to stand safely because she did not violate the first rule of the "Guest Rules of the Netherworld Cemetery"
[You are a tenant, do not do anything that is against your status.] This is the core rule. If you violate the core rule, you will definitely die.
The identity of a house viewer is a shackle but also a protection, and all rules are aimed at the identity of a house viewer.
Bai Tao looked away. Props are good, but you have to be alive to get them.
After turning off the TV, the chattering on the phone disappeared. Bai Tao looked around the living room, made sure everything was fine, and left.
The next room is the bedroom, hoping to find clues about the third room.
The room was dimly lit, and Bai Tao could only see a thirty-centimeter area around herself, and the outlines of other things were vague.
For example, the desk, chair, clock, and the bed that looks like a coffin.
As with the living room, the bedroom light switch is within easy reach.
But Bai Tao did not choose to turn on the light.
I walked closer and looked at the clock. It was 5:50, a different time again.
I came to the edge of the bedroom and touched the wall with my hand. The wall was soft and fragile, like a piece of skin.
Bai Tao pulled the curtains disguised as walls lightly, and the sunlight from outside poured in, lighting up the entire room.
There was a diary on the table. The handwriting was ugly and sloppy, the sentence order was chaotic, and there was a lot of nonsense. After reading the entire diary, there was only one useful sentence.
[Good children should get up at 6 o'clock, watch TV at 10 o'clock, and take a bath at 11 o'clock. ]
The third room seems to be the bathroom.
As for the fifth item of the manual [Please make sure you have rested in bed between 10pm and 6am]
It’s not even 6 o’clock yet, whoever wants to lie on the coffin bed can lie there.
Bai Tao stood in front of the door and tentatively grasped the door handle.
As expected, it locked.
It seems I have to lie down on the coffin bed.
It is called a coffin bed, but in fact it is no different from a coffin.
The only difference between it and a dead person's coffin is that the coffin bed is not sealed.
Bai Tao didn't have time to look any further.
Bai Tao heard the countdown, her own countdown.
10, 9, 8...
Her voice was constantly forcing her to lie down in the coffin.
The bedroom clock showed that there were three minutes to six o'clock.
The so-called countdown is nothing more than a means to force house viewers to panic.
Ignoring the countdown, Bai Tao slowly picked up the diary on the desk and lay down in the coffin.
With a "click", the coffin suddenly closed, the light disappeared, and Bai Tao lost his vision.
Then you start to have difficulty breathing, which is a precursor to suffocation.
The coffin bed is small and sealed, with limited oxygen storage. If you stay there for just ten minutes, you will suffocate and fall into coma, and then die.
If you struggle violently, your survival time will be even shorter and you will fall into a coma in less than five minutes.
Thinking of this, Bai Tao's breathing became more rapid.
