When Chu Tianshu returned to the well, he saw Lin Huai still standing there. Lin Huai was still wearing that bathrobe—because of his transformation into a fierce ghost, the background color of the bathrobe turned red, and there were golden butterflies flying on it.
Even his black hair has turned into long hair, which hangs down on his body, looking extremely charming. Chu Tianshu whistled and walked towards him, asking him, "What are you looking at?"
"well."
"Are you also moved by the friendship between this ghost and Keiko?"
The beauty in red turned her head and gave him a false look, and then said: "I was wondering if I could dig out her heart and eat her..."
Chu Tianshu: ...
Lin Huai: "Tsk, before you realize it, you filled this well with cement."
After Lin Huai beat Chu Tianshu, he began to ponder the possibility of digging out the bones with his claws, and regrettably found that the possibility was zero. They were teleported back to the worship hall before dawn. Seeing that only the girl in the yellow skirt came back, the girl in the red skirt hugged her and cried loudly. The good old man stood beside him, and asked Chu Tianshu with a pale face: "Qingzi, is she... dead? Did she die last night?"
"Don't be afraid." Lin Huai took the initiative to pat him on the shoulder, "She didn't die last night."
The good old man breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Lin Huai whisper: "She died ten years ago."
Good old man: ... I'm more afraid, okay
As for Lin Huai's suddenly long hair and the inexplicably appearing bathrobe, Chu Tianshu simply prevaricated it by saying "it was done by a ghost". Given that ghosts are supernatural beings, it's no surprise that ghosts have hair-growing abilities that surpass those of Overlords. The two quickly accepted the statement. The good old man looked at Lin Huai with inexplicable envy in his eyes, wishing that he could survive and make up for his increasingly dry hairline.
Chu Tianshu stayed to explain the reason to him and the girl in the red dress. Lin Huai stared at the girl in the red skirt for a while, then went out from the worship hall to see the girl in the yellow skirt standing by the pool.
The girl in the yellow skirt was still staring blankly at herself in the pool, at the large bloodstain behind her. After seeing Lin Huai approaching, she was silent for a while, and said with a wry smile: "You don't have to lie to me to comfort me, no matter what method you use, I will... die."
"why?"
"Last night, Qingzi... No, its hand went through the back of my heart." The girl in the yellow skirt said slowly, "It was a wound that was bound to die, but when I woke up, I found that my wound had healed! This is because… "
She pointed to where her "positive" character was: "This is because my time has not yet come, and this curse will not let me die. But when the time reaches my death time, I will die like a curse... I Already a dead man."
Seeing that Lin Huai seemed about to speak, she smiled wryly again: "There's no need to comfort me, anyway, I... I don't know what I should do anymore."
"It's okay, be optimistic." Lin Huai patted her and said, "There's nothing wrong with dying, and being a ghost is also very interesting."
The girl in the yellow skirt: …
"You can consider letting yourself die a bit worse, so that when you become a ghost, you will be stronger, and you can scare newcomers here." Lin Huai said sincerely, "And you can also make your current immortal The body is a good opportunity to experience various ways of dying... "
girl:…
After a long time, she smiled and said, "Forget it, it's already such a mess anyway, so there's no need to ask what's wrong with your hair."
Chu Tianshu said behind them: "We will go down from the mountain in a while."
"Where are you going?"
"Bathroom." Chu Tianshu said, "Try the last chance."
Lin Huai said hello. When he turned around and walked towards Chu Tianshu, he said to the girl in the yellow skirt, "It's okay, don't be afraid. Since you are sure to die, those ghosts should be very friendly to you."
The girl in the yellow skirt: "... yes, yes?"
"After all, everyone will be colleagues in the same place in the future, otherwise it would be so embarrassing to meet them after you die." Lin Huai said sincerely.
Lin Huai turned around and walked towards Chu Tianshu. The two were sitting on the steps, but Chu Tianshu suddenly said, "Turn around."
"what?"
"I'll cut your hair for you." Chu Tianshu said.
Lin Huai turned around. His long black hair hung behind him, and against the red bathrobe, he looked very beautiful. Chu Tianshu held the hair in his hands, watching them flow in his hands.
Lin Huai suddenly felt that it was good that such days could last forever. He said, "Can you still cut your hair?"
Chu Tianshu said: "It will be shortened."
Lin Huai looked back at him with vacant eyes, Chu Tianshu scratched his head and said, "Forget it, I won't cut it."
"Don't you have confidence in yourself?"
"You have long hair and look good."
Lin Huai: ...
Lin Huai felt itchy. He raised his head, pushed his head back against Chu Tianshu's head forcefully...
"Mr. Chu, Mr. Xiaolin, we..." The good old man walked towards the two of them.
Good old man: ...
Lin Huai:
He watched the old man's pale face turn pale with shock. He looked at the two, his lips trembling, and finally he staggered and fainted.
[personal value -3]
The ruthless voice of the system sounded again, and Lin Huai let out a "tsk", and said with vacant eyes: "This good old man... is so homophobic?"
"No." Chu Tianshu said quietly behind him, "Just now you just wanted to push my head..."
"Break the neck in reverse."
Lin Huai: ...
Chu Tianshu supported his head and put it back to its original position, his posture was so skillful that it made people feel distressed. Lin Huai calmly got up from him, twisted his neck, walked to the old good man, turned around, and clicked a few times: "They are all dying, and they are so immature."
Chu Tianshu: "It's okay, don't worry, I will also tie him to the bathing place."
The two carried the good old man's body, called the girl in the red skirt and the girl in the yellow skirt and walked out of the shrine together. After tossing all night, the time is now approaching noon. Several people rushed back to "Xiaoxue"'s house without stopping.
Sure enough, Chu Tianshu found a new sunny baby under the eaves. This sunny doll has a hole in its chest that looks like a broken heart. He took off the sunny day doll and let the rain fall outside the window, preparing for the clearing at night.
When evening came, Chu Tianshu hung up the sunny doll. He drove a car and took several people to the bathing place. Seeing the alley in front of them, the trio of NPCs who had been silent for a day did not show a look of extreme joy—apparently, the horrible encounters of the past few days had left them without the energy to rejoice.
Finally, the bathing place appeared before the eyes of several people.
"what is this?"
The girl in the red skirt made a trembling voice. There are two lanterns hanging under the eaves of the bathing place!
One is red and the other is white!
The red lanterns are for humans, and the white lanterns are for ghosts... What are the red and white lanterns for
"Welcome to the bathhouse!"
A shrill and gloomy voice sounded from inside the door curtain. Several people were startled by the sound. When seeing the figure walking out, even Lin Huai raised his eyebrows.
The old man who was in charge of the bathing place was several times fatter than the skinny one he had seen in the past few days. His whole body is like a balloon that has been blown up, exuding a round and rich appearance. Only the facial features that are still faintly visible in the fat and fine lines can make people recognize his identity. Seeing a few people appearing in front of the door, he changed his previous resisting appearance, and said with a smile: "Are the guests here to take a bath? I am the administrator in charge of releasing the water in the bath, please come in—tonight's bath is very It's lively, whether it's a male soup or a female soup, it has a special flavor... By the way! Please arrive at the place where you should arrive, and turn on the water to take a bath!"
His voice was like fingernails scratching the blackboard, which was very uncomfortable. The girl in the red skirt chattered her teeth, and she asked the people helplessly, "Are we really going to enter this ghostly place? Look at the lanterns here, one is red and the other is white... Is there such a weird lantern in there? …”
"Is there a ghost?" Chu Tianshu said, "But isn't this bathing place your only solution?"
The girl in the red skirt still hesitated. The girl in the yellow skirt has already stepped forward. It seems that because she knew she was going to die, she already had great courage and determination: "How do you sell the bath ticket?"
"The price of the bath ticket is..."
The good old man hesitated for a moment, and followed her. After all, after the girl in the yellow skirt died, he was the next person to die. Just as Lin Huai was about to step forward, he heard the old man whisper: "My guest, cameras are not allowed into the bathhouse! After all, there is no place in the world that allows cameras to be brought into the bathhouse..."
Lin Huai shrugged and put the camera into Chu Tianshu's hand: "You take it."
Unsurprisingly, he heard the sound of [personal setting value -1] deducting points. Now his character set value is only a precarious "1" again.
"You wait for me outside." Lin Huai said to Chu Tianshu.
"Wait, Mumu." Chu Tianshu suddenly pulled him back and said, "From the perspective of the game's settings, if I'm not here, the camera and the bathhouse are two contradictory ways of life, conflicting with each other. Or, it's a way of life A dead end...you have to be careful."
After saying this, he shrugged and said, "Of course, I believe you can finish it. I'll wait outside for you to come out."
Lin Huai waved his hand. The other three NPCs were still tremblingly standing in the bathhouse, waiting for him to come in.
The floor of the bathhouse lobby looks extremely smooth, but it feels slightly sticky when walking on it. Of course Lin Huai knew what this stickiness was—you must know that this old man was mopping the ground with a dead body.
But there was another thing that made him very curious... What did this old man eat to grow from a dry skeleton into a rich old man overnight
The old man said he was the administrator responsible for releasing the water...
Suddenly, a strange conjecture appeared in Lin Huai's mind. If his idea is made public, probably all human gamers will think he is abnormal.
He looked at the old man's fat body without any trace.
"There are two baths in front, left or right." The old man's voice interrupted his thoughts, "You can freely choose which bath to enter."
What appeared in front of my eyes were two identical paper doors. Pushing them away leads to different baths—in this game, obviously, the difference between life and death.
"Left? Or right..."
Lin Huai closed his eyes, he heard the hot noise in the bathing place on the left, as if there were many children running in it. The bathing place on the right is quiet.
"Have you chosen? Once you've chosen, you can't change it." The old man grinned and said, "Choose one, maybe one of them can help you wash away everything..."
"Left...right..." the girl in the red dress struggled, "then we..."
"Choose the right." Lin Huai said, "There are two lanterns at the door, the one on the left is white, the one on the right is red, and the way of life is on the left."
Hearing his speech, several NPCs breathed a sigh of relief. Only the old man was still muttering dissatisfiedly: "How can I choose the right side? Lanterns... Is there any difference between red lanterns and white lanterns? Is there a way out?"
However, the wishes of several people have been decided. Seeing that no one was willing to go first, the girl in the yellow dress gritted her teeth and went in first. Then came the good old man and the girl in the red dress.
The old man looked back at Lin Huai and saw that he hadn't gone in, so he was dissatisfied: "Is there anything else you need? Go in quickly!"
"Nothing." Lin Huai grinned at him, "I just have a small request."
Old man:
"Administrator, go in and take a bath with me." Lin Huai blinked.
