"Sorry, I can't drink it." Chi Nan refused very simply.
The hostess's face changed suddenly, but there was still a stiff smile on the corner of her lips: "Don't you like fish soup? Chen Ma's fish soup tastes very delicious, not fishy at all, and there is no fishbone..."
"I'm allergic to fish." Chi Nan found a reason for himself that no one could refuse.
The anticipation in the hostess' eyes cooled down a bit, and finally turned to Tang Yu who returned to her seat in a disheartened manner: "Then Miss Tang..."
"Auntie, I'm sorry, I'm also allergic to fish." Tang Yu refused, imitating Chi Nan.
The hostess sighed listlessly: "Mother Chen, remove the other two bowls of fish soup, and delete this dish from our menu in the future."
"Okay, ma'am." Chen Ma quickly removed the creepy fish soup.
"Eat it while it's hot, pick your favorite dishes to eat." The hostess quickly regained her enthusiasm and greeted the two of them.
It's a pity that after the episode of Paradise Fish just now, the two of them lost interest in the delicious food on the table, and they both ate a few chopsticks and put down the bowl, only the hostess enjoyed it.
Chi Nan also concluded from the test just now that making the hostess unhappy will not reduce her favorability.
Even, they suspect that the object of favoritism has never been the hostess, but a character who easily does not appear, such as the one who hides in the mirror.
After dinner, Chi Nan proposed the idea of going for a walk, and the hostess gave him a vigilant look: "You can walk, but only in the building. Remember, never leave this apartment."
The two knew this was the rule as soon as they heard it, and Chi Nan nodded: "I see."
After coming down from the corridor, Tang Yu immediately asked, "Do you have any clues? Where are we going now?"
Chi Nan: "There is a restaurant on the first floor."
"What's wrong? What's wrong there?" Tang Yu remembered the restaurant, but he carefully observed it when he came in and found nothing suspicious.
Chi Nan: "I didn't eat much for dinner, so I went there for a late night snack."
Tang Yu: "..." Okay, he's quite hungry right now.
To Chi Nan's great satisfaction, the supper served by this restaurant is all sweets and syrups. Now he just won't be triggered to cry, so he ordered all the signature syrups in the store.
What satisfies him even more is that the flower shop next to the restaurant has small white flowers for sale.
"Master, you can tell us anything you need, and we can give you good advice if you want to send a girlfriend." The flower-selling lady boss looked at Chi Nan enthusiastically, and then winked at Tang Yu who was beside him.
Chi Nan looked at the little white flower for a moment: "I want that, thank you."
The proprietress froze awkwardly for a few seconds: "Master, that white bell flower was at the time of Qingming's grave..."
Chi Nan was polite: "It's okay, I know, I'm sorry to bother you."
After all, this little white flower symbolizes praise for death and a happy funeral, 229 explained to him.
The proprietress gave Chi Nan a strange look: "Then... well, I'll wrap it up for you."
Chi Nan took the carefully wrapped Xiaobai bouquet, thanked the proprietress again, and returned to the fifth-floor apartment.
Tang Yu could see his intentions, but couldn't guess the mystery, but he knew that Chi Nan was a very powerful sleepwalker, and he didn't say much about it.
The maid who came to open the door saw the bouquet in Chi Nan's hand, and her face suddenly darkened: "Master, I have to remind you that Madam hates white bell flowers the most, and it will be unhappy to see you bring them home."
Chi Nan sincerely thanked her for her suggestion: "But it doesn't matter, mother's anger does not affect our role play."
The maid didn't understand him, but she didn't stop him anymore, Chi Nan took Xiao Baihua straight into the bathroom.
There was a bunch of half-withered red roses by the sink. Chi Nan threw them into the trash can and carefully inserted the small white flowers into the vase.
He looked at himself in the glasses and said lightly, "Do you like it?"
No one in the bathroom could answer him, but the system dinged—
[Congratulations to Chi Nan, the 'sorrow' theme, for successfully triggering the condition for increasing favorability, favorability +5, and now accumulative favorability of 20 points. ]
Sure enough, the object of favorability is not the hostess, but 229.
"229, who are you this time?"
The mirror was silent, it was just a cold mirror.
After Chi Nan came out of the bathroom, Tang Yu ran over with this photo album: "I just found an album in the room, do you want to take a look? Maybe you can find some important clues."
In fact, he searched the room very carefully, except for this album, he found no useful clues at all.
Soon, Chi Nan and Tang Yu went through the photo album in the living room, but it was very strange that there were hundreds of photos in this thick photo album, but there was not a single family photo, or photos of husband and wife. From wedding photos to photos in recent years, or photos sent by the young master from studying abroad, they are all grown up, and there are no photos of him when he was a child.
"This! There seems to be another photo here." Tang Yu was careful, and keenly found a photo in the interlayer that was covered by other photos in the thick album.
After he took out the photo, the confusion on his face became even stronger.
Because this is the only photo that can be called a family portrait, the part of the young master in the middle was deliberately cut out, and only the husband and wife were left on the damaged photo.
Among them, the male host smiled reluctantly, while the hostess unabashedly had a cold face, as if she wanted to get out of this annoying photo session as soon as possible.
But from other photos, the hostess clearly likes taking pictures.
"It's so weird..." Tang Yu looked at the photo of the young master that had been cut out, his scalp tingling, "It's not something that ordinary people can do to cut my son out of the photo..."
"What's the matter? Are you watching anything interesting?"
Tang Yu was startled, and the hostess did not know when to stand behind them and said with a condescending smile.
Chi Nan frankly showed the photo album in front of the hostess: "Look at the photos and recall your childhood."
"Why aren't there any pictures of me when I was young?" Chi Nan asked again.
The smile on the hostess's face froze: "Many old photos were lost when we moved, and you hated taking pictures when you were young. Your father and I tried our best to take a few more pictures for you, and you would cry as soon as you took a picture. ."
After speaking, she shrugged and laughed again.
Chi Nan knew that there would be no more useful information from her, so he only said in a low voice, "It's a pity."
The hostess looked at him and then looked at Tang Yu: "You have been running around for several days on the road, rest early, and it's not too late to reminisce about the past when you wake up tomorrow morning."
Chi Nan obediently closed the album: "Okay, good night."
"Good night, Auntie." Tang Yu was also very cooperative.
The hostess naturally took back the photo album in his hand and curled the corners of her lips: "Good night."
After the lights were turned off, the living room was plunged into deep darkness, the roar of the refrigerator engine continued to ring, and the old electric fan overhead was still turning.
After five minutes, his eyes completely adjusted to the darkness. Chi Nan walked to the door and turned off the ceiling fan before lying down on the sofa at the accident scene.
The sofa was cleaned very well, and there was no blood or death in the gaps in the leather texture, but Chi Nan moved the sofa to the side to be on the safe side.
That way, even if the ceiling fan falls, it won't kill him.
Ten minutes later, Chi Nan was lying on the sofa, confused by the rumbling sound of the engine. Seeing that he was only one step away from falling into a deep sleep, he suddenly opened his eyes.
Tick, tick. The sound of dripping water in the bathroom made him tense.
Like someone who didn't turn on the faucet, or like an old building with a poor waterproofing system, water seeps through the ceiling and drips onto the bathroom floor.
And the fan he turned off before going to bed started whirring again, and the wind blowing knocked the newspaper off the coffee table.
Chi Nan shook his head and found that the sofa that he had removed had returned to its original position unknowingly, parked directly under the rapidly spinning fan.
With an inexplicable premonition of danger in his heart, Chi Nan immediately sat up and left the sofa.
In less than half a minute, there was a sudden loud bang, and the high-speed rotating fan blades fell straight down, piercing the pillow deeply and piercing the sofa. Sofa and wooden floor.
Half a minute ago, that was where Chi Nan was lying on his head. If he hadn't left in time, his whole head might have been separated from his body now.
Just like the so-called 'dad', lying in the freezer together, the family is neat and tidy.
Strangely, the loud sound of the ceiling fan falling did not alert anyone in the room. The living room was like a vacuum, and the sound was completely drained and could not be conveyed to other people in the room.
Just after escaping from death, Chi Nan just rejoiced calmly and walked to the bathroom following the sound of water.
"Thank you." His voice was low to himself. He knew that it was the sound of water that saved him, or that it was the person who made the sound of water on purpose.
The bathroom door was ajar, and when Chi Nan pushed it open, he smelled the scent of damp shower gel, as if someone had just taken a bath in the bathtub.
But the people in the house had already fallen asleep, and no one would sneak into the bathroom to take a shower after dark.
Chi Nan subconsciously looked at the little white flowers by the mirror. In the evening, they still had some flower bones, but now they are fully blooming in the dark, and the petals are stained with water droplets, as if someone deliberately showered them with a shower not long ago.
He stepped forward and sniffed, the small white flowers exuded a light fragrance.
He was about to walk into the bathroom when the sound of footsteps shifted to the freezer in the living room.
Chi Nan turned his head, there were no figures or ghosts beside the freezer.
And this footstep sound is very strange, as if someone accidentally stepped on a puddle, there is a kind of wet feeling.
Chi Nan turned around and started walking towards the freezer. The footsteps sounded like he was about to play hide-and-seek with him, and instantly turned under the sofa.
Chi Nan was neither afraid nor anxious, and followed the footsteps patiently in the dark.
From the bathroom to the living room, and then from the living room to the kitchen, the other party was hiding and making footsteps to attract his attention.
Finally, the sound of footsteps led him out of the living room to the foyer, indicating that the elevator under maintenance made a sudden 'ding' sound, the elevator door slowly opened in the dark, and the cold white light of the elevator room diffused the entire foyer.
The elevator was empty, and footsteps were walking towards the elevator.
"Are you inviting me to take the elevator to where?" Chi Nan asked calmly.
Naturally, the other party would not answer, but made more rapid footsteps in the elevator, as if urging him to pass quickly.
Chi Nan stood outside the door and didn't go in obediently. The elevator waited patiently open, as if he would not give up until he went in.
Chi Nan knew that the owner of the footsteps wouldn't kill him, or else he wouldn't have done this just now and woke him up to avoid the ceiling fan.
He just wanted to make the other party anxious.
When the footsteps became more and more impatient, Chi Nan stepped into the elevator unhurriedly.
As soon as he entered the elevator with his back foot, the door behind him closed impatiently, the floor button on the left flickered for a while, and finally all went out, and the elevator slowly moved down without pressing any floor.
At the same time, the voice of the female teacher came from the curriculum system—
[Chi Nan plays the role of completing the 'hide and seek' task and finds a close friend, the favorability level is +10, and now the accumulated favorability point is 30. ]
Chi Nan smiled expressionlessly in his heart, and sure enough, the object of his favor was this guy who never appeared.
After about five minutes, the elevator stopped steadily, Chi Nan glanced at the floor button, but the elevator power cord seemed to be cut off at all.
The elevator may stop on any of the five floors, or it may stop in another empty space.
Chi Nan waited for two minutes, but the closed elevator door didn't mean to open.
Footsteps sounded outside the door.
"Brother, I'm locked in the room, can you promise to help me?"
The other party seemed to be a child. At the moment, he was lying outside the elevator door talking to Chi Nan. It was the voice of Xiao Youyu in "Dream of You Yu".
"But I'm also locked in the elevator, unless you let me out first." Chi Nan said.
The child outside the elevator smiled: "As long as my brother promises me, it will be fine."
Chi Nan knew that this must be an important clue of the story, and agreed for a moment in silence, and then asked again, "Who are you? Are you a family member of this family?"
The other party smiled: "My identity requires my brother to find the answer by himself. It's not fun to tell you so quickly."
"Okay." Chi Nan abides by the rules of the game.
The other party: "Brother, pull the hook, so you can't go back on it."
Chi Nan: "You have to get me out of the elevator before you can pull the hook."
"No, I can see you, you raise your hand to face the direction of the elevator door, we can just pull the hook in the air." The other party said.
Chi Nan: "Don't you want to be seen by me?"
The other party seemed to smile even happier: "No, I'm just not ready to meet my brother. Don't worry, brother, I have already made the perfect design for our reunion, and you will definitely like it."
Chi Nan: "..." It really is the role played by 229, which doesn't sound normal.
But he still made a pulling action towards the void according to his words.
"Pull the hook, hang yourself, and don't change it for a hundred years."
The other party looked very serious, and Chi Nan also tapped the elevator door with his thumb.
"Brother, I like the way you cry, remember, this is the key."
Leaving this clue, the elevator door suddenly opened slowly with a 'bang', the outside of the elevator was pitch black and barren, and the child who just spoke disappeared.
As soon as Chi Nan stepped out of the elevator, the light behind him disappeared instantly, and the space he was in was infinitely compressed and smaller, and the air was filled with the smell of camphor and aged wood.
From strong light to darkness, Chi Nan's eyes couldn't adapt all of a sudden. With his sensitivity to darkness when he was blind, he quickly determined that after getting out of the elevator, he came to a small space similar to the inside of a wardrobe.
As long as he moved a little, the old wardrobe would make a creaking noise, and it would fall apart at any time.
So was that kid stuck in the closet just now? Where is this apartment again? Why is the damaged elevator exit in the wardrobe
Is the story designer implying something
Chi Nan tried to push the position of the closet door with his hand, but found that he couldn't push it, and the chain outside the door dinged with his movements. It seemed that the child didn't lie, he was locked from the outside. Living.
Just when Chi Nan was trying his best to open the wardrobe door, he suddenly heard a 'click' sound not far away, as if someone had unlocked the lock.
But not the lock of the wardrobe door, but the lock of the whole room...
Then, as the door was pushed open and closed, cautious footsteps were gradually approaching him...
Finally, the footsteps stopped outside the cabinet.
