Chapter 91 (Minor Repair)
After Yang Duyi finished speaking, the corridor returned to silence.
The whale blubber downstairs was still poking its head out, and because it didn't understand the situation, it was waving and winking at Xu Ming tentatively.
But Xu Ming had no intention of paying attention to it at this moment.
... In her mind, she only replayed the words she had just heard.
"If everything goes well, we will take the connection key and go to a very far place next.
"Although it's slim, I hope this thing can show us the way back. "
That didn't sound like a good omen. What concerned Xu Ming more were some of the wordings in it -
it said, "we" would leave with the "connection key.
" "We"... Who exactly is included in this "we"?
Where does the so-called "far away place" refer to? The world behind the door? What are they going to do?
Xu Ming had some guesses in her heart, but she was not sure. She considered herself not an emotional person, but at this moment, she inexplicably felt a little bitter. She nodded hesitantly. Just as she was about to ask something else, Yang Duyi's voice rang again, and her speech speed slightly accelerated:
"The light in Room 501 is not actively offensive. As long as you make sure not to look at it, you will not be affected.
"Put the prepared carrier into the house, then leave quickly and hide in a place where you cannot be exposed and cannot see the light. Count at least ninety heartbeats silently. Then go back and you can take away the light installed in the carrier.
"Remember, while counting, do not look at the lights, no matter what sound you hear."
"......?" "Xu Ming was slightly startled, and then he reacted. It was teaching him how to scoop away the light produced by the lamp in Room 501. After all, he had promised before that if he could successfully weaken the power of the little girl in Room 301, the first thing he had to do was to quickly use the light to hold that guy back.
If he only relied on the existing induction lights in the building, it would be too restrictive. Therefore, a carrier is necessary.
Thinking about it carefully, the other party suddenly brought up this matter at this moment, probably because he didn't want him to delve into the previous topic, so he didn't ask any more questions out of interest, but confirmed:
"Excuse me, are there any strict requirements for the carrier that can be used to scoop out light? Can it only be a lamp? "
Yang Duyi quickly gave an affirmative answer. Xu Ming nodded in understanding, thought for a moment and said, "Then the number of usable lamps is approximately..."
"I'm sorry, I don't know that." Yang Duyi said, "I haven't left the room for a long time, and I'm not sure how many usable lamps are in the building now... If you can enter other houses, maybe you can collect them from them.
"Rooms 302 and 101 should still be safe for now, you can go to those two rooms first. But remember, don't touch the installed induction lights. Don't use damaged lamps..."
Yang Duyi stopped here. After two seconds of silence, he sighed softly.
...It's very difficult.
Although it requested this, after careful consideration, I have to admit that this is actually very difficult - and even very risky.
The first problem is to find the lamp. Just as it said, the only rooms that can be explored safely are 302 and 101. However, if you want to go to these two rooms, you must pass through the door of Room 301, and you might be caught on the spot; secondly, even if you can successfully enter these two rooms, it is still unknown whether you can gain anything.
Even if you can find it, the size of the lamp is estimated to be not too large, and the light that can be scooped away will naturally not be much. If the light concentration is not high enough, not to mention holding Xu Ling back, it would be a problem whether it can be used to protect itself...
"Forget it." After thinking it over, Yang Duyi finally spoke helplessly, "It would be best if you can find a new carrier. If not, it's not a big deal. You just try to lead it to a place with lights, and I'll take care of the rest..."
"Okay, I understand." Xu Ming listened to its explanation, and for some reason, his expression seemed to be hesitant. After Yang Duyi finished speaking, he nodded politely, and then whispered, "It's just that what I wanted to ask just now was not this."
Yang Duyi:...
Yang Duyi:?
"What I wanted to ask just now is, how many lamps can be filled with the light in that room?" Xu Ming whispered, "Or, as long as the root is still running, the light it produces is endless, and you can pack as many as you want?"
Yang Duyi: "..."
Yang Duyi: "Excuse me, but didn't you say 'pack' just now?"
"Scoop!" Xu Ming said immediately, "I mean 'scoop'."
Although according to her understanding, it is actually similar to "pack"... It's nothing more than transferring the light in this place to a new carrier.
"..." Yang Duyi was silent again. After a while, he gave a hesitant answer, "In theory, yes. But there shouldn't be many usable lamps left in this building..."
"It's okay, it's okay!" Xu Ming looked relieved, "Just make sure there is no limit on the quantity... By the way, can just one light bulb be used? It still needs to be connected to a power source..." "
...No additional energy is needed. Light itself is energy." Yang Duyi responded softly, but his tone became more and more subtle.
It thinks that it may be because it is not a human being now, so its thinking and intuition have become a little strange; or maybe it is because it has not been in contact with people for too long, which makes it easy to think too much...
Or maybe, possibly, probably, it is just a simple illusion -
in short, it doesn't know the reason.
When Xu Ming confirmed with it about packing, not scooping out, it did have a bad feeling in its mind.

On the other side.
In the square under the night sky, soft music was floating gently, and the neon lights in the distance were flashing, overflowing with colorful lights.
Several young girls squatted in the middle of the square, surrounding the sounding speakers, and chattering heatedly.
"Can't the volume be turned up a little..."
"It's not good, it's a public place."
"But there's no one else here except us... The square dance won't be exciting if the volume is not high."
"Then let's turn it up a little." The girl who was surrounded in the middle made up her mind. She gently reached out to the speaker box with one hand, and her fingers moved slightly, and the sound that popped out of the speaker instantly doubled.
Several girls nearby cheered and turned to the perimeter of the square, and began to line up for square dancing in a serious manner. The girl in charge of adjusting the sound did not move, but just stood there quietly, watching the others jumping around, squinting her eyes in satisfaction.
The evening breeze blew, blowing the bracelets on her wrists. On her left wrist was a string of candies, and on her right wrist was a string of matches -
it was Guo Shuyi.
"Sorry to bother you." At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out from the side.
There was another figure beside the girl.
Guo Shuyi seemed not surprised at all, and just turned around and nodded at the other party. However, when her eyes touched the other party's face, she couldn't help but flash a bit of surprise in her eyes.
The person who came was also a woman, about half a head taller than her. She had a well-proportioned figure and simple clothes. Only her face was the most impressive -
the left side of her face was sturdy and beautiful, and the right side was rugged and fierce.
Guo Shuyi was a little dumbfounded. After a pause, she spoke uncertainly:
"Sister Xu Ming?"
"Yes, it's me." Xu Ming made a gesture to her to keep quiet, and took the opportunity to look at the square not far away. As expected, she saw two familiar faces inside.
Big Guo and Little Guo were both in the square dance team at the moment, jumping nervously with the people in front of them.
Including the ones next to them, there were a total of six or seven girls. Xu Ming didn't want to attract their attention, so she covered her face with her hands and stepped aside, then nodded to Guo Shuyi:
"Sorry, I was in a hurry, so I came in first."
"It's okay." Guo Shuyi said immediately, "I'm glad that sister is willing to come in and play... Sister, aren't you going to say hello to others?"
"No, no, it's scary." Xu Ming said, and once again slightly regretted that she had made such a shape for herself.
She was now in Guo Shuyi's ghost story.
The current ghost story was basically equivalent to being closed, with only an entrance and exit left in Xu Ming's rule book. Unfortunately, the conditions for entering and exiting were harsh. Only abnormal beings with souls that were light to a certain degree could pass smoothly -
it was too difficult for the original Xu Ming, but it was just right for the current Xu Ming.
She was in the state of a sleepwalker at the moment, and her soul was probably lighter than A Jiao. Since A Jiao can come in, there is no reason why he can't - with this thought in mind, Xu Ming just tried it specially, and unexpectedly he really came in.
It's a pity that her current look is not very good, and Xu Ming doesn't want to scare others, so he sneaks up to talk to Guo Shuyi directly. Guo Shuyi nodded seriously and looked very focused:
"Yeah, I understand. So sister, what do you need my help with? Do you want me to go out?"
"No, no, that's not necessary." Xu Ming hurriedly said, "I just... let me ask you two things first."
Guo Shuyi: "?"
"First." Xu Ming raised a finger, "I want to ask, can you take the things you made in the ghost story outside?"
"Realistically? That doesn't seem possible." Guo Shuyi blinked slowly, and added, "But if it's other ghost stories, it should be possible."
"That's good." Xu Ming looked relieved, and then said, "Then do you mind if I take some things out from here? The quantity required may be larger..."
"What do you want? Is it easy to take?" Guo Shuyi straightened up, "No problem, sister, you can move whatever you want. If you think the quantity is not enough, I can specially make a beautiful dream for you, and you can choose the scene and content yourself..."
"The scene doesn't matter!" Xu Ming said immediately, "The main thing is to have light bulbs."
"......?" Guo Shuyi couldn't help but pause, "What?"
"I said, light bulbs." Xu Ming repeated word by word, "The scene doesn't matter, the main thing is to have light bulbs."
"Lots and lots of light bulbs."
