The monster's voice was raised to the highest pitch the second time, causing Tang Ning's eardrums to hurt. According to the guest rules, he could not answer the first two questions, but he could answer the third.
Tang Ning tried hard to suppress the fear in his heart. He wanted to know whether Bai Wuliang's words were credible or not. He could use this criterion to judge.
"I'm on the cleaning team," he whispered.
After Tangning said this, the monster standing in front of Tangning stomped its feet hard. More blood dripped from its body. It was obvious that it was not happy with the role of the cleaning team. "Why are you here to clean again? You guys are a bunch of ignorant people!!! My home - not at all - not at all -"
"What's wrong?" A deep male voice sounded.
Bai's mother's angry roar barely stopped, but Tang Ning's pressure did not ease, because he could feel another cold gaze sweeping across him!
Although they didn't look at each other, Tang Ning felt a chill running down his spine. His heart was beating wildly. A pair of feet wearing leather shoes appeared in his field of vision. Sticky blood was flowing from the pants of the suit onto the uppers of the shoes.
This is another monster!
A strong stench of decay emanated from it, making Tang Ning hold his breath. Surrounded by two monsters, he was almost unable to breathe!
Two sinister gazes looked back and forth at Tang Ning, like two knives, ready to cut a piece of flesh from Tang Ning at any time.
Perhaps it was only a few breaths, but it felt like a century. Tangning finally heard the voice of the new monster: "Come in."
This is consent for them to come in!
At present, the monster's behavior is consistent with the guest rules given by Bai Wuliang. He doesn't like Bai Wuliang and the cleaning team. It's okay if he doesn't answer the first two times of questioning, and it's okay if he gives the answers given by Bai Wuliang three times.
Moreover, it seems that the identity of the cleaning team was specially found by Bai Wuliang for them, otherwise they would not even be able to enter the Bai family's gate.
Are the guest rules given by Bai Wuliang really useful
Tang Ning did not let down his guard. He walked into this strange room with the other players. He kept his head down because he was worried about making eye contact with Bai's parents. Bai Wuliang walked up to him and said to the other players, "Everyone, start cleaning."
When Bai Wuliang said this, the two monsters remained silent, seemingly agreeing.
Tang Ning put down the cleaning bag on his back, and now he had to complete the work that a cleaning staff should do.
You have to pick a place to start cleaning.
The master bedroom is where Bai Wuliang's parents live, there is a second bedroom which should be where Bai Wuliang lives, and another room has a blue door which is off-limits. In addition to that are the bathroom, kitchen and living room. In total there are five areas to clean.
There were six players this time, so Bai Wuliang didn't have to clean up, as the five areas just corresponded to the five players.
Where to choose
Although Tang Ning lowered his head, he saw Mr. and Mrs. Bai's feet appear next to the sofa. They were sitting in the living room like supervisors. If he wanted to clean the living room, he would probably have to come into close contact with these two monsters. Tang Ning mentally crossed out the living room.
He turned his head and looked towards the kitchen. There was no door or other partition between the living room and the kitchen. Cleaning the kitchen would expose it to the monster's view, so Tangning decided to give up cleaning the kitchen.
Tang Ning walked inside with a cleaning bag on his back. He first passed by the bathroom next to the corridor. Even without entering the bathroom, the cold air could permeate the corridor. Tang Ning took a quick glance and saw a pile of women's hair on the floor of the bathroom, and a large mirror flashing a cold light.
Tang Ning was ptsd to the mirror in the dungeon world. In addition, the guest rules stated that red water might flow out of the bathroom. Tang Ning hesitated for a moment and decided to give up the bathroom. The next room he could choose was the master bedroom or the second bedroom.
Tang Ning withdrew his gaze from the bathroom. He was standing in this corridor, with the master bedroom on the left and the second bedroom on the right. At the end of the corridor was the room with the blue door.
Even though the guest rules did not prohibit entering a room with a blue door, Tang Ning would not enter after seeing this door.
Because there is an eight-diagram mirror hanging on this blue door, and a yellow talisman paper is pasted on it, as if something terrible is blocked inside, and just looking at it makes people feel uneasy.
Tang Ning quickly shifted his gaze and looked at the doors on both sides. The master bedroom was Bai Wuliang's parents' room. Places where monsters lived were usually very dangerous, and the second bedroom, as Bai Wuliang's room, might have a higher safety factor.
After weighing the pros and cons, Tangning finally chose this second bedroom. He pulled down the door handle and opened the door a little. A smell of dust and old furniture wafted through the air, making Tangning want to cough.
Tang Ning pushed open the door carefully. The curtains in the room were closed and the light was dim, making it difficult to see clearly.
Tang Ning reached out his hand and touched the light switch on the wall. The dim light came on, dispelling the darkness in the room.
The touch of the fingertips is not right
Tang Ning saw that the white switch was covered with a layer of dust. His finger left a fingerprint on it, and the tip of his finger was also rubbed with dust.
Although the guest rules did not state that doing so was dangerous, it was still uncomfortable to have dust on your fingertips in this house full of weirdness.
Tang Ning looked elsewhere. The champagne-colored wallpaper was extremely moldy, but from the few spots where the pattern had not been overly contaminated, he could vaguely imagine that this was supposed to be a stylish and calm wallpaper style.
Various types of mold grew in other parts of the room. Apart from the garbage all over the room, the bedroom was simply furnished with a large bed, a wardrobe, and a bedside table. It was simple and plain.
Tang Ning put down his backpack and took out a set of thin gloves from the cleaning bag that Bai Wuliang had prepared. Tang Ning found that Bai Wuliang also prepared a mask and sleeves. He put them on and took out a folding broom and started cleaning.
There was a mess of garbage everywhere. When Tang Ning swept the floor, the spiders weaving webs on the ceiling and the cockroaches making nests under the bed fled everywhere.
Tang Ning paused for a moment as he held the broom. He couldn't imagine how Bai Wuliang could have lived in such a messy environment for three days. For someone with mysophobia like Bai Wuliang, it must be very unbearable, right
He frowned and walked to the bedside table, preparing to start cleaning from the corner. The next second, Tang Ning saw a bunch of cockroaches jumping out from the quilt and fleeing in all directions.
No, some of the big ones can really fly!
Even Tang Ning, whose mental toughness had been significantly improved, couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling when he saw this scene. He wanted to escape from the bedroom immediately. He quickly stood in the corner, fearing that the cockroach would directly hit his face.
Help, is this bed still suitable for sleeping?!
Tang Ning frowned as he stared at the bed. He felt an inexplicable sense of weirdness. With Bai Wuliang's obsessive-compulsive disorder, no, he didn't even need to be obsessed with it. Any normal person would not be able to tolerate living in a bedroom like this. Why was this bedroom and the entire Bai family so dirty and messy
If other players' homes were this dirty, Tang Ning wouldn't feel out of place. The main reason was that when Bai Wuliang introduced his parents, he said that his parents had obsessive-compulsive disorder and mysophobia, and loved cleanliness. So how could such clean-loving parents make their home so dirty? Why was he so unwelcome to the cleaning team
For people who love cleanliness, shouldn’t they be happy to see the cleaning team coming to clean
Or did Bai Wuliang's parents think that they cleaned more thoroughly? Or did it not suit their tastes to have someone else clean? Or did Bai Wuliang's parents change their gender after becoming monsters
Tang Ning held the broom and tried to recall the details of what had happened since he came in. Bai's mother said, "What are you cleaning again?" The word "again" meant that this house had been cleaned at least once before they came.
But looking at the room Tang Ning entered, it didn't look like it had been cleaned at all.
what does that mean
The message from Lu Yuhua suddenly popped up in my mind as I was thinking hard—
"Don't believe Bai Wuliang's words!"
What if Bai Wuliang’s parents don’t like cleanliness
People who don't like cleanliness, don't like the cleaning team, and have a messy home
Tang Ning stared at the stinking quilt. Although he was not close to it, he could still smell a foul odor from the quilt.
Normally, the word bed would make people think of warmth and comfort, but the bed in front of Tang Ning made him think of coldness for no reason.
Why are there so many cockroaches in the quilt? Is there something on the bed
Tangning stared at the quilt for a long time. He hadn't looked closely before, but now he realized that the bulge in the quilt looked like it was hiding something.
It's like a person lying there.
After realizing this, Tang Ning felt a chill on his back. He stared at the quilt, which remained motionless.
Indeed, the shape really looks like something is lying there!
Tang Ning stepped back with the broom in hand. As he retreated, he kept his eyes on the quilt, fearing that a hand would reach out from under the quilt in the next second.
That strange scene kept flashing in Tang Ning's mind, and fear made Tang Ning feel uneasy.
The room was not big. Tang Ning felt his way along the wall to the door. He only needed one more step to get out. Up to this point, there was still no movement from the things on the bed.
Successfully walked out!
Tang Ning breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and saw a face that was completely unrecognizable.
There was no nose bridge, and the face was flat, so flat that it looked like it had been flattened. The eye sockets were all red, and it was impossible to tell the black from the white. From a close distance, it looked like a bloody mess.
It was unknown how long this face had been waiting for Tangning.
Tangning's mind went blank, and a rule he had seen before came to mind.
"Please do not initiate any communication with my parents, including eye contact."
Our eyes met!!!
The next second, this strange face opened its mouth exaggeratedly, revealing an expression that looked like it was laughing wildly and eating!
Tang Ning lowered his head quickly as if he had been electrocuted. A pair of feet wearing black leather shoes appeared in front of him. Unlike high heels that made noises, the noises made by leather shoes when walking were much more amusing.
As Tang Ning watched in horror, the pair of feet moved towards him step by step. Tang Ning stepped back quickly, but the pair of feet came even faster!
Will I be chased by a monster if I look him in the eye? !
Seeing that the pair of blood-stained black leather shoes were about to step on his toes, Tang Ning jumped onto the bed in a hurry. Before the monster pounced on him, Tang Ning quickly ran out of the door.
Opposite this room is the master bedroom of Mr. and Mrs. Bai. Tang Ning saw Jiang Mianmian's figure through the open door.
Jiang Mianmian moved very quickly. She had already swept up all the garbage on the ground with a broom and was now taking out a portable mop from her backpack.
"Jiang Mianmian!" Tang Ning called out in a low voice.
Jiang Mianmian, who was holding a mop, rushed out without hesitation after hearing Tang Ning's cry for help. He held the mop with one hand and hit Tang Ning from behind, while using the other hand to pull Tang Ning out.
Bang bang bang.
There was a loud noise from the mop colliding with a body behind him.
Tang Ning didn't dare to look back or raise his head. He was being pulled by Jiang Mianmian and ran. A pair of white leather shoes appeared in his sight not far away.
It's Bai Wuliang!!!
"Dad." Bai Wuliang said, his voice gentle and helpless.
The footsteps that were chasing Tang Ning suddenly stopped.
Before Tang Ning could breathe a sigh of relief, the footsteps that had only paused for a moment continued to sound rapidly.
Tang Ning's heart was beating wildly as he heard the footsteps getting closer and closer. The aisle was not long. After Jiang Mianmian dragged Tang Ning out of the aisle, Bai Wuliang stood at the entrance of the aisle, blocking the only way out.
This time the monster really stopped and did not chase after him.
"You two are here to clean the house. What are you running around for?" Bai Wuliang scolded Tang Ning and Jiang Mianmian as if he was venting his anger on behalf of his father.
Tang Ning covered his chest and gasped for breath, his limbs feeling a little weak.
Father Bai, who was standing in the corridor, did not speak. Bai Wuliang continued, "Tell me any of your problems and I will help you solve them."
Jiang Mianmian pointed at Tang Ning. Bai Wuliang grabbed Tang Ning's wrist and led Tang Ning, who had not yet recovered from the aftermath of the terror, into the narrow corridor.
The aisles were so long that only two people could walk side by side. Bai Wuliang walked in front, with Tang Ning protecting him from behind.
Tangning could see the monster and stood in the middle of the aisle without moving!!!
Unlike Bai Wuliang who walked towards the monster without hesitation, Tang Ning tried his best to walk close to the wall, wishing he could shrink himself into a paper man. When passing by the monster, Tang Ning, who had been keeping his head down, saw the bloodstained black leather shoe move, as if it wanted to get closer to him.
His heart seemed to jump to his throat in an instant, and Tang Ning was ready to escape at any time!
Under Tang Ning's nervous gaze, the tip of the black leather shoe moved slightly, as if hesitating about something, before finally stopping where it was.
Bai Wuliang continued to pull Tang Ning along.
The cold gaze slid from Tang Ning's side to his back, until Tang Ning entered the room and left the monster's sight. Only then did the terrifying feeling of being stared at disappear.
After just a few steps, Tang Ning was covered in sweat.
Tang Ning in the station house had not yet relaxed. He pricked up his ears and listened carefully to make sure there were no footsteps behind him.
The monster probably didn't follow.
"What's wrong?" Bai Wuliang asked Tang Ning softly.
Tangning swallowed his saliva, pointed at the bed and whispered, "I think there's someone on the bed."
After hearing Tang Ning's words, Bai Wuliang walked forward and lifted the quilt, only to see that the bed was empty.
Tang Ning then realized that he was just seeing things, the bulge in the quilt looked like it was hiding someone.
"Are there any other problems?" Bai Wuliang asked.
Tang Ning hesitated for a moment after the false alarm and shook his head. In fact, he still had many questions to ask Bai Wuliang, such as why the Bai family was so dirty and why he said his parents were mysophobes. But now was not the time for him to ask Bai Wuliang questions.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" There were suddenly three knocks on the door from outside. It was the distress signal that Bai Wuliang had agreed upon with everyone!
When Bai Wuliang heard this, he didn't bother to continue communicating with Tang Ning and quickly turned around and left.
During this visit, Bai Wuliang looked very relaxed as he didn't have to do any cleaning, but in fact he was patrolling the entire Bai family, and once his teammates encountered a crisis, he would take action to resolve it.
I don’t know who is in trouble now, but Bai Wuliang is really reliable.
When being chased by Zhou's father, Tang Ning thought he would have to confess his mistake here, or that he would have to use the porcelain doll. Unexpectedly, the cooperation between Jiang Mianmian and Bai Wuliang allowed him to successfully survive this crisis.
Tangning sighed at the reliability of this duo as he walked towards the bed that had put him in danger.
Looking closer, Tang Ning discovered that there was indeed no one on the bed, but there was a slight dent in the middle of the bed, as if someone had been lying there for months, leaving an obvious mark.
A strong stench came from the humanoid mark, as if there was a dead body lying on it. Tang Ning was frightened by his own imagination and a chill ran down his spine.
He shook his head, trying to get rid of this weird guess in his mind.
It was strange, why was there such a mark on Bai Wuliang's bed? Was it caused by Bai Wuliang lying down? But just looking at his body shape, the mark did not seem to match Bai Wuliang's tall body.
Tangning stood beside the bed and examined it carefully. He felt that the figure did not look like Bai's father and mother. Instead, it looked like someone appeared out of nowhere...
Thinking of this, Tang Ning shuddered.
I must be imagining things. I’ll ask Bai Wuliang later.
Tang Ning took out his phone and looked at it. There was no signal, but he could check the time. He only had five minutes left to complete the short time requirement for being a guest.
Tang Ning continued to clean with the broom. The whole room was very quiet except for the sound of the broom sweeping through the garbage.
Maybe there are cockroaches rustling in the corners.
The mask could not block the strong stench emitted when the garbage was touched. Tang Ning, with a frown on his face, saw all kinds of garbage on the ground, some were blood-stained paper balls, and some were scattered medicine boxes.
In this instance, every time Tang Ning entered a different player's home, he would see a different medicine box. Tang Ning squatted on the ground and picked up a medicine box, but after a closer look, he didn't recognize it.
Is this the medicine that Bai Wuliang took
Tang Ning turned the medicine box over and read the instructions on the back. The more he read, the more he felt something was wrong. He asked in his mind: System, what disease is this requirement for
Esophageal cancer.
Esophageal cancer? Was Bai Wuliang suffering from this disease? Or did Bai's father or mother have this disease, but they just randomly threw the garbage and threw the medicine box into Bai Wuliang's room
Tang Ning put the medicine box down and reached to the side. He remembered there was another medicine box in the garbage dump, so he decided to take it over and take a look.
When Tang Ning looked down, he was stunned for a moment, because Tang Ning suddenly found that the garbage around him had disappeared.
Because he was squatting on the ground with his head down, Tang Ning's field of vision was very small, with only less than one meter in front of him visible.
He didn't see any garbage within one meter of himself!
Tang Ning kept his head down and moved a few times on the ground like a penguin, but there was still no new garbage in his sight!
Not only did the garbage on the ground disappear, but the floor that was originally covered with all kinds of dirt and stains was now as smooth as new, as if it had been scrubbed and written on several times with a special detergent. It was so clean that the general outline of Tang Ning could be reflected on it.
What is going on? !
Tang Ning was shocked as he looked from the floor to the wallpaper. The wallpaper that was originally rotten and smelly was now brand new. It was no longer the champagne color, but a pure and flawless white, so white that it brightened the room.
He didn't dare to look up any further, fearing that he would see a face that was beyond recognition. Tang Ning only glanced at the lower part of the wall, then turned his head stiffly and looked at the dirty, wet and cold bed in his memory.
I saw that the bedding on the bed, which was originally full of dirt, seemed to have been washed. The quilts that were piled up randomly before were now neatly folded, without even a single wrinkle on them, as if they had been ironed by someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
No, not only that, the color of the bedding and the style of the bed have also changed!
Tangning blinked hard, trying to dispel this hallucination.
But the scene on the bed didn't change at all.
Tang Ning held his breath and looked at the wallpaper again. He suddenly realized that the pattern on the wallpaper was different from what he had seen before. For example, the champagne color at the beginning might be the color produced by oxidation. The pattern on the wallpaper was also different. This proved that the wallpaper on the wall was completely different from what Tang Ning had seen before!
What's going on?! Why did the whole room change?!
Tangning stood up in a panic. As he changed from squatting to standing, his field of vision continued to expand. All he saw was a clean and tidy scene.
Tang Ning would rather see the filthy garbage dump from before!
He lowered his head and walked quickly towards the door. The snow-white floor under his feet was so shiny that it reflected not only Tang Ning's figure, but also the densely packed things on the ceiling!
This is
Tangning paused, staring at his reflection on the ground for a while before figuring out what was hanging above his head.
Wind chime!
The whole house is full of wind chimes!!!
If one or two wind chimes are hung in a house, it will make people feel fresh and clean. However, the pure white roof hung with wind chimes with almost no gaps between them would only make Tang Ning's scalp explode, and the shudder spread from the top of his head to his whole body.
His eyes widened, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger. Tang Ning did not dare to stay any longer, and walked quickly towards the door with his head lowered.
When Tang Ning was about to reach the door, he stopped.
Because he saw the door reflected on the white floor
It's blue!
