The incandescent lamp creaked and shook, and the dark room was instantly given an old color, and the air was filled with a smell of rust.
Indeed, as the boy ghost said before, this room is full of all kinds of old electrical appliances and tools. Just the radio is piled up on a wooden frame. Combined a few words that can be understood.
"Maintenance, maintenance?"
Some people read the words unconsciously, but when they listened carefully, they found that they were just chaotic currents.
"Yes, maintenance."
A dry voice repeated.
The girl frowned in confusion: "Didn't you say that the old man who picked up garbage lived here, why did he become a repairman again..."
As she was talking, she suddenly realized something, her face turned pale and she stopped the ending.
The short answer just now clearly belonged to...an old man.
But they are all here, where are the others
Several people stepped back abruptly, while Tang Xinjue and the others took a step forward to stand in front of the crowd, aiming their defensive props at the figure that suddenly appeared in the corner.
This is a very old, skinny old man.
He was wearing shabby overalls, his eye sockets were deeply sunken, and his wrinkles narrowed meanly on his face. A few strands of thin white hair stuck to the top of his bald head. The whole body is like a skeleton in clothes, silently sticking to the corner. If it wasn't for the sound, no one would even notice him.
The corners of the shriveled mouth moved on that face, "Anyone want to fix something?"
Looking at the weird scene, no one dared to answer easily. After two seconds, the old man seemed to be getting impatient, and said in a low voice, "If you don't fix it, get out!"
The wooden door of the small room popped open, and the air from the corridor rushed in. Only then did the group feel the extremely low temperature in the house, and even the cold corridor seemed warmer in comparison.
Tang Xinjue checked the situation of the ghost in the corridor for the first time, and found that the ghost had disappeared at some point.
The corridor is temporarily safe!
Hearing this news, everyone was relieved. Not needing to avoid ghosts means they don't have to hide here in fear. The few people closest to the door tentatively returned to the corridor, but nothing happened.
The dilapidated room of the strange old man suddenly appeared, and the dark corridor with no one in it. In comparison, the corridor is actually safer.
The girls left the room one by one, and the skinny old man in the corner didn't respond at all. He couldn't see his eyes in his dark eye sockets, and his chest didn't rise and fall. He looked as if he was dead.
But even so, candidates dare not take it lightly. Because the light clearly shows that the old man is holding a heavy hammer in his hand, and if you look carefully, you can still see various tools in the torn pockets of his overalls, such as iron pliers, screwdrivers, large scissors, steel nails... just The image is enough to make up for countless possibilities of transforming into a horror movie killer.
Tang Xinjue was the last one to go out. Before she left, she cast her eyes on the old man in the house. The other man turned his head slightly as if feeling something, with no expression on his dry face: "Something is broken... Do you want to fix it? "
Her heart skipped a beat.
Maybe it's because she has gone through too many exams. At this moment, the characteristics and dissociated state shown by the other party, she does not feel like the NPC in the dungeon, but like... Based on past experience, a strange idea suddenly popped into her mind .
Tang Xinjue left without turning around. She resisted the wooden door that was about to close, and asked, "What's broken? How can I fix it?"
The old man did not answer the first half of the sentence, but said slowly: "Give me the thing, pay the money, fix it, and return it to you."
"Why are you fixing things here?"
These words made the old man finally respond.
For the first time ever, he turned his head two more points, looking up at Tang Xinjue like a living person, and said:
"Little bastard, get lost if you don't fix it, it's a load of nonsense!"
"..."
The girls who had just left were startled by the scolding and turned their heads one after another. At this time, they finally realized that this old man who looked more like a ghost than a ghost seemed a little different from other ghosts.
Tang Xinjue's eyes lit up.
"Can anything be repaired?"
The other party ignored it, but she didn't care, and continued: "Then, supernatural props can also be repaired?"
The figure in the corner snorted through his nostrils, which seemed to be an answer.
Zhang You was stunned and realized something: "Heart determination..."
Just as she was about to speak, she saw that Tang Xinjue had already opened her cell phone and dialed a number in the address book.
"Dili-li-dili-"
The bell rang from the old man's pocket!
On the screen of the mobile phone, the three words "repair shop" were prominently displayed, indicating that they were on a call.
Bedroom 606:? ?
Bedroom 606:! ! !
The memory of being possessed by a counselor came to mind, and Guo Guo blurted out: "Damn! You are Xiu, Xiu..." Repairman? !
Even after beating her to death, she didn't expect that the "repair shop" mentioned by the counselor was actually in this dungeon!
The old man also seemed a little surprised, and slowly took out an elderly mobile phone with his bony hands, and pressed the answer button: "Repair shop, University City, which one are you?"
Tang Xinjue held the phone up to his chin, frantically flashing countless possibilities and words in his mind, but his voice was extremely calm: "Students from Sanben University, do you want to repair things and accept business?"
Until the door closed in front of them, some people were still a little unresponsive.
What type of ghost is "The Repairman"? Why can I communicate normally with candidates? How could Tang Xinjue have the other party's phone number
Jiang Lan pulled away from her thoughts and said calmly: "Just as student Tang said just now, let's find the way to get back to the women's dormitory first. If anyone wants to stay here and wait for Student Tang, there is a special NPC here. Relatively safe."
With limited time, she could only temporarily confirm the information and list the repairman as a "special NPC".
Although they had never heard about the repairman, they did not question Tang Xinjue out of trust, but accepted the statement decisively.
As the people who know the most inside information, Zhang You, Guo Guo and Zheng Wanqing are still in a state of shock and confusion. They exchanged briefly in the brain chat group. Tang Xinjue was determined to seize the opportunity. Guo Guo's first reaction was to stay here with Tang Xinjue to repair the props. There was a high probability that he would be safe and temporarily escape from the danger of the dungeon.
However, seeing Jiang Lan who was silently bandaging the wound, and No. 5 and others who were carefully bandaging the roommate, Guo Guo opened his mouth and swallowed the words he wanted to leave.
"I'll go back to the women's dormitory with you." She patted her chest: "You have temporarily lost a powerful output, and you can't leave a top support! Although the combat power is not good, I am still very professional in finding ghosts."
"Guo Guo." Zheng Wanqing said solemnly, rubbing her head: "You have grown up."
Guo Guo: "Thank you, but please don't talk like my mother."
Jiang Lan also nodded, and said to Ke Ke, "You stay here."
Keke refused without thinking, "I can still walk."
"But… "
"Don't talk nonsense, Anian and I are not around, you are a lone hero? If you talk again, I will use the spirit of speech to make you dumb."
The scene on the 5th side was the same, except that she and the 6th were grabbed by the ears of the 10th at the same time, yelling: "Isn't it because your leg is injured! We want you to rest! It hurts!"
Here, Guo Guo sniffed and grabbed Zhang You's hand: "Sister You, Jue Shen depends on you to take care of it. Although it is a repair shop, you must pay attention to safety. If you have anything to do, you must contact me as soon as possible..."
"Contact what?"
Tang Xinjue's voice sounded from behind.
Guo Guo: "Contact...???"
She turned around in a daze, and saw Tang Xinjue had already opened the door with the toilet in hand, as if preparing to leave.
"Has it been fixed?"
The people outside were shocked. It's only been less than thirty seconds, right
Tang Xinjue raised his hand to signal: "It hasn't been repaired yet, and the price has just been negotiated. I'll put the things here and pick them up when I come back."
After finishing speaking, she was still a little puzzled: "Didn't I just say that I would come out soon? Why are you still here? Are you waiting for me?"
Everyone who had just staged a brief farewell: "..."
Gan, misunderstood.
They stopped their movements in an instant, and turned into ready-to-go poses: "Yes, I'm waiting for you, so fast, haha, let's go now?"
Looking at the girls laughing dryly in front of her, Tang Xinjue raised her eyebrows slightly: "Did you misunderstand something just now?"
Through the changes in the expressions of the group, she quickly confirmed her guess: "—do you use this as a safe house?"
The door of the room suddenly opened automatically with a slam, and the old repairman said sadly: "Gua Wazi has a good idea, there is no place for you, if you don't repair it, get out!"
"..."
