The woman's voice was eerie and mysterious. Before Lin Huai could make a sound, he felt something slipping past his eyelids.
It was like a gust of wind, and like a soft touch from a finger. This strange touch made him involuntarily dazed for a moment, and then he blinked.
Just after he closed his eyes and opened them again, the distorted black figure that was originally standing on the other wall...
Disappeared!
What appeared before his eyes was a peaceful and quiet room illuminated by dim lights. He saw the off-white walls, the paintings of flowers on the walls, the fluffy carpet on the floor, the large single bed covered with a white duvet, and his bare legs under his nightgown... Even on the wall All the clocks are swaying peacefully.
A rare sense of treachery surged into his heart, and Lin Huai couldn't help but think of the curse that took away his eyesight from that dark witch just now...
"Take my eyesight?" He sat back on the sofa and looked at his right hand—still five fingers, white and slender.
He said to himself: "Isn't this good?"
On the other side, the heavy curtains were still swaying due to the rain and wind blowing outside the window. With bare feet, Lin Huai walked to the window, and damp and cold air came in from the outside through the gap.
Outside the window is the foggy city in the gusty wind. The moon was covered by dark clouds, no moonlight, no people.
The bottle of perfume was still placed beside Lin Huai, but the lid was unscrewed at some point, and the fragrance inside slowly evaporated. Lin Huai only glanced at the bottle of perfume.
"Did I not put the lid on just now?" He said to himself, "Let's put it on first, so as not to evaporate the light."
He reached out to tighten the perfume, but when he got close to it, he remembered the smell before, and couldn't help but leaned over to smell it.
He remembered the smell of perfume—fragrant, ordinary fragrance, but faintly buried rancid smell. But this time when he lowered his head to smell it, he was in a daze.
It was an extremely rich fragrance... In the fragrance, there was a faint trace of rose and frost-like coldness and sweetness. This fragrance was like a knife, weird and sharp. However, the fragrance was extremely weak, it only entered his nasal cavity for a moment, and after this moment, it dissipated and could never be smelled again.
After Lin Huai smelled the fragrance, it took a long time before he screwed up the perfume bottle as if waking up from a dream.
He sat back on the chair and looked ahead with blank eyes.
'Did I just see something? ' Lin Huai thought, 'Yes, I came back here, opened the box, saw the bottle of perfume, and the postcard, and then...'
The memories of the past seemed to be broken there. Only after he took out the perfume, before sitting in the chair with him. Between them, there is a gap that is logically connected, but cannot be expanded.
Yes, but he still remembers the smell of perfume, fragrant, ordinary, rancid...
The curtains were still swinging, he hesitantly reached out and closed the windows and curtains. When he turned around, he heard the door in the corridor seem to slam.
Lin Huai suddenly looked back over there.
No one was there.
He was so immersed in what he saw just now that he forgot to observe the outside world for a moment. When he woke up from his thoughts again, he realized that he seemed to have heard the sound of a door being opened just now.
A strange rustling sound came from the door, as if something had come in.
Lin Huai looked over suddenly, but only saw the empty corridor.
"What?" he whispered.
He stared at the direction of the door, until suddenly something touched his shoulder!
Lin Huai reacted at that moment, reached out and patted the thing off!
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!!" A familiar scream sounded beside him, "Why did you hit me suddenly? It hurts!!"
Lin Huai turned back in a daze, beside him, Chu Tianshu appeared there at this moment. Chu Tianshu held his hand, looking as if he was hurt. Under the light, Chu Tianshu's shadow was reflected on the wall, and he looked at Lin Huai, shaking his hands and saying, "What's wrong? Why do you think I've come back, as if I saw a ghost?"
Lin Huai stared at him firmly: "Where did you come in from?"
"Men, what else? Do you think I'm Kaitou Kidd?" Chu Tian said softly, then he squatted down and swayed in front of Lin Huai's eyes, "What were you thinking just now? Why are you so distracted?" ?”
He shook his hands, his face full of concern. Lin Huai just looked at him—looking at him from top to bottom, as if trying to find even the slightest thing wrong with him.
But he looked at it for a long time, Chu Tianshu was still just Chu Tianshu. Now the worried person became Chu Tianshu. He touched Lin Huai's forehead with his hand and said, "What's the matter?"
Lin Huai shook his head. He pointed to the perfume bottle next to him and said, "I just asked about that bottle of perfume."
"Oh, that bottle of perfume? It doesn't smell good." Chu Tianshu said.
Seeing that Lin Huai didn't reply for a long time, he asked him with a serious face: "Why, do you think that bottle of perfume... smells good?"
"I don't know." Lin Huai said.
Chu Tianshu stopped his movements, he paused, stretched out his hand, and picked up the bottle of perfume.
He carefully unscrewed the perfume cap, held the perfume in one hand, and began to fan the air with the other hand above the opening...
Lin Huai:?
Chu Tianshu: "This is called fan smell."
Chu Tianshu fan took a sniff, and his originally serious expression became slightly dazed. Holding the perfume in his hand, he looked in Lin Huai's direction.
But soon, he put down the bottle, twisted the cap, and pinched the tip of his nose. Then, tremblingly, he took out something from his bag, unscrewed it, and took a deep breath in it—
The moment he opened the jar, an extreme stench hit the entire room.
If you had to describe the smell, it probably had to blow up the sewers and toilets in the entire dormitory and undergo fermentation to have such a smell.
Chu Tianshu: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
After making this very uncivilized complaint, he finally covered and sealed the jar tremblingly, put it back, and pushed it away by the way.
Lin Huai:?
Seeing Chu Tianshu's appearance as if facing a formidable enemy, he twitched his brows and asked, "What is this?"
"Soaked pickled sour bamboo shoots." Chu Tianshu replied quickly, "The important raw material for snail noodles, and a little canned herring..."
Lin Huai: ...
Chu Tianshu: "I often use this to clear my brain in a variety of scent kingdoms."
Lin Huai showed an extremely disgusted expression. Chu Tianshu shrugged, and returned to Lin Huai with a stinky body. He thought for a while, and said: "The smell of the perfume today is indeed much more fragrant than before, with a little more rose smell, and..."
Lin Huai: "And what?"
Chu Tianshu: "Besides, you make me sleepy...don't hit me, it hurts!!"
... Lin Huai withdrew his hand expressionlessly. Chu Tianshu scratched his head and said, "Strange, why did the smell change? Is the alcohol inside fermented? It stands to reason that no one other than us should have come in today... Wait, who broke the lock?"
Lin Huai: "I broke it apart."
Chu Tianshu: "Oh."
Lin Huai: "By the way, what's the password for the box?"
Chu Tianshu did not hesitate: "Four eights."
Lin Huai: ...
"You, good, soil, ah." Lin Huai made a voice of accusation, "Why four eights!!" Chu Tianshu: "Probably because, in the steampunk worldview, the NPCs in it probably don't know Is the pronunciation of the number 'eight' equal to 'fa'?"
Lin Huai didn't know how to complain for a while. Chu Tianshu scratched his chin again, looked at Lin Huai and said, "Did you put anything in the perfume today?"
Lin Huai thought for a while, and for some reason, he actually touched his eyes: "No?"
Chu Tianshu looked at him suspiciously: "No, really not?"
"... For some reason, I always have a weird feeling." Lin Huaixu said with eyes narrowed, "Wait a minute, I'll dig out my eyes and check them out. For some reason, I always feel as if I soaked them in..."
Chu Tianshu: "...Damn!! Do you think you are a Transformer!! Why are you soaking your eyes for nothing!!"
... Lin Huai checked it in the end. Since the scene is slightly inconsistent with Jinjiang, in order to avoid the blow of strange power from the higher plane, the author will not repeat it here. In the end, he said to Chu Tianshu completely: "I probably haven't soaked in it before."
Chu Tianshu sat beside him, looked at him with vacant eyes: "Oh."
Lin Huai: "? What's wrong with you?"
Chu Tianshu: "In front of your boyfriend, please pay attention to your own image!! Even if you are a ghost, don't play with yourself like this!!"
Lin Huai twitched the corners of his eyes, he stroked his temples and said, "I don't know why, I always feel a little strange today, and my eyes feel a little uncomfortable..."
"I think the eyes of the little boy who has been with you all afternoon are even more uncomfortable." Chu Tianshu stood up and began to soak the towel in hot water. Finally, he took a hot towel and applied it to Lin Huai's cheek "Wipe your face, we're going to sleep."
Lin Huai's facial features were dazzled by his rubbing: "...?? I found out that you have been very attentive to me since you entered this dungeon?"
Chu Tianshu: "Is there?"
Lin Huai: "Are you sure you're not some perverted and beautiful boy who is a lolicon?"
Chu Tianshu: "Then you can also control Sister Yu by the way. Be good, pull up your hair and wipe your neck."
Chu Tianshu squatted in front of Lin Huai and wiped his face carefully. Standing very close, Lin Huai saw his drooping eyelashes, high nose bridge, and unusually thick, slightly curly hair.
Behind him, there was his concentrated shadow, it was a black shadow, and Lin Huai found that Chu Tianshu's legs were really long.
until…
Ah, I saw a bag bulging on the black eagle belonging to Chu Tianshu.
First there was a bag, then another bag, and then another... Many, many bags appeared above his shadow like a cloud like mushrooms, and the whole shadow was like some kind of proliferating tissue, some kind of spore aggregate , began to split and twist rapidly, the gravity was unbalanced, overflowing and expanding...
"What's wrong?"
With the warm towel still on his face, Lin Huai stared fixedly at Chu Tianshu who was squatting and wiping his face.
That beautiful and smooth face also grew spores at this moment.
The first spore is in the corner of the eye, and it consists of a small fleshy granule that expands rapidly. The second spore is at the corner of the mouth, and it bulges with more spores around the edges.
Then, the temples, the ears, the cheeks, all parts of Chu Tianshu's face.
And the black hole is still saying: "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong?"
"Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
Chu Tianshu was caught off guard again by Lin Huai's attack. Lin Huai's attack came very quickly, but he also avoided it very quickly, so he was not seriously injured except for a bloodstain on his cheek. s damage. He took a step back, but fortunately his legs were long, this step was quick and big: "Okay, why did you rape me?"
He said so, but soon put on a defensive posture - it was obvious that Lin Huai's action just now was a reaction to stress. If Lin Huai really lost his mind suddenly, he would start beating him. He will also prepare to fight Lin Huai immediately, and find a way to press him on the bed to calm him down.
Lin Huai stood up from the sofa, he looked at the cheek of "Chu Tianshu", there was a strange green liquid flowing down the place where his pointed nails had just scratched.
It was a very strange green liquid — shiny, and there seemed to be something like a small crystal powder in it, but it was very fragrant, very fragrant... He couldn't help but want to go up to it and swallow it.
Is he going to tear these spores
It was as if a gust of cold water poured from his head to his feet. Lin Huai woke up from the sudden trance, and he returned to the world again, what he saw was a perfectly normal room—and a normal Chu Tianshu. What slipped from the wound on Chu Tianshu's cheek was obvious, bright red blood...
Instead of nothing, golden-green sap.
And his shadow reflected on the wall was extremely normal—no spores, no cracking, no distortion—nothing at all. Only short hair, thin waist, and long legs...
"I," Lin Huai stuck, touched his eyes and said, "I just..."
He was a little panicked for a moment: "I seem to have misread just now."
Chu Tianshu: ...
Chu Tianshu was not angry, he just walked towards Lin Huai. Before approaching, he said seriously to Lin Huai: "Do you mind if I tie your hands?"
Just now that terrifying scene appeared in Lin Huai's eyes again. Lin Huai looked at Chu Tianshu, then suddenly leaned over and sniffed his neck.
"I don't mind," he said.
Chu Tianshu: "? Are you identifying someone just now? Are you identifying someone? Aren't you a cat? Why do you rely on smell..."
He said this, but there was a different kind of flattery in his voice besides being tense and serious—Lin Huai seriously suspected it, which was a bit similar to the mood of "being cute".
Chu Tianshu pressed on his body, grabbed his two hands, and fixed them on his head. After confirming that Lin Huai no longer has the ability to violently scratch him or kill him in the following postures. He looked into Lin Huai's eyes and said, "What did you see just now?"
Lin Huai: "I saw..."
He recalled it for a while, and said honestly: "I saw you become the king of mushrooms."
Chu Tianshu: "Mushroom King?? What is that??"
Lin Huai: "I saw you covered with mushrooms."
Chu Tianshu: ...
Lin Huai: "Many, many mushrooms have grown on your body."
Chu Tianshu: "... Did you eat Jianshouqing?"
...Chu Tianshu suddenly showed a look of "it's so hard to explain". Even when he was busy catching Lin Huai, he looked down at himself, especially sniffed his wrist, and looked at himself. Are there any mushrooms on him
Apparently, his wrists are smooth and there are no mushrooms. Lin Huai was under his hands, looking up at him with dark eyes. Chu Tianshu stretched out two fingers, pinched Lin Huai's eyes from both sides.
"There must be something wrong with your eyes." He said sincerely.
Lin Huai was silent for a while, and said, "I don't know why..."
Chu Tianshu: "Huh?"
Lin Huai: "You are telling the truth, but I really want to hit you."
Chu Tianshu: "..."
"It may be that some kind of curse hit you in this dungeon. This curse confuses your vision and makes you see things that shouldn't exist—even makes you see the things that exist in front of you as weird and terrifying. things." Chu Tianshu explained, "But I don't know yet, whether this function is only for me, or for everything you see. But—"
He shrugged and said, "Anyway—in short—my suggestion is to put safety first. If you see anything resembling an enemy, don't worry about whether it's a hallucination. Don't hesitate, just—"
He made a hand gesture: "Kill the past."
Lin Huai:? ?
"After all, you have no way to distinguish whether the person who appears in front of your eyes is a normal person whom you have misunderstood, or a monster who appears in front of you with a truly strange posture. It is almost impossible to distinguish all of these— And it will consume a lot of your time. Sometimes preemptive attack is what it means." Chu Tianshu said, "So I suggest that you should do it directly."
"Tsk, have you ever considered that once I choose to attack all the weird things I see according to what you said, you will be the easiest person to bear the brunt." Lin Huaixu said with eyes.
"Yes." Chu Tianshu nodded, and he said, "If I were the villain in this game, I would choose to use my image to approach you, so, I..."
Lin Huai: ...
Chu Tianshu: "I am a very dangerous man, ha ha."
… Until now, he actually showed a confident smile with a little narcissism. Lin Huai raised her knee and gave him a kick.
"What if I beat you to death?" Lin Huai said.
"That's impossible." Chu Tianshu said very coolly, "I suggest that in the next journey, because of your sudden abnormal eyes, you should fight me first every time you see me. With this Make sure that there is nothing wrong between us."
As he said that, he patted Lin Huai's head. Lin Huai thought about it and said, "But I still suggest, why don't you stay away from me?"
"why?"
Lin Huai: "This way you will be safer."
"It's not safe for you. I need to confirm your situation every day." Chu Tianshu directly rejected his proposal. After speaking, he patted Lin Huai's head and said, "Sleep well, rest, don't think so much .”
Lin Huai: ...
Chu Tianshu: "It's just blindness, what a big deal. I'll speed up the progress of the dungeon. You should bear with it for a few days. In a few days, our Dragon King will return."
Chu Tianshu's tone was really big-hearted, as if this was really not something worth mentioning - I don't know if he was really so big-hearted, or just to comfort Lin Huai.
"Let's go to bed, tomorrow morning, I have to investigate." Chu Tianshu put him on the bed, "Good night."
Lin Huaixu narrowed his eyes and said: "... I just have something wrong with my eyes, not blind."
Chu Tianshu pressed his head, didn't speak, just smiled with squinted eyes.
Lin Huai fell asleep very late that night, looking at the empty ceiling, thinking about his next behavior pattern.
If he wakes up early the next morning and sees that the people sleeping next to him are a bunch of king mushrooms, or kings of mud, or even kings of tentacles...then whether he wants to get violent or not, don't care about it, just beat the people around him What about a meal
If the beating was wrong, Chu Tianshu's nose would be bruised and his face would be swollen. If he hesitated and didn't hit him, if the mushrooms rushed to his body, what should he do
After imagining such a scene, Lin Huai felt a little stomachache.
"Forget it," he muttered, "we'd better beat him up."
But what Lin Huai didn't expect was that when he woke up the next morning—
He saw only empty rooms.
In the room, on the bed, there was no other person except him.
