The house is money, the story is life

"That's where I jumped down, meow." Downstairs in the bedroom, the bird-headed and human-body animal spirit was narrating to Xu Zhengran solemnly, with its wings pointing to a balcony on the second floor.Xu Zhengran followed the direction he pointed and looked up, frowning tightly: "Senior sister...I mean that girl, just jumped off like that? Was she injured?"

Bird's head recalled it for a while, and shook its head meowingly, Xu Zhengran followed up and asked: "Then does she look okay? Is there anything unusual?"

The bird head thought for a while, and replied: "Meow with a taste."

Xu Zhengran: "Huh?"

"That girl has a very familiar smell of meow, a very annoying smell of meow... chee—cheech!"

The bird-head man suddenly changed his tone halfway through his speech, and looked behind Xu Zhengran.Xu Zhengran turned his head strangely, only to see Shi Gunqiu running from a distance, waving while running.Xu Zhengran let out a "luck" and turned his head again, and the bird-headed man was gone.

He rolled his eyes, pressed Shi Gunqiu on the ground in his heart and stomped wildly. Before he finished stepping on it, Shi Gunqiu had already rushed to the front, so he simply took action and said to Shi Gunqiu Kongkong's mind: "Who told you to come here?" of!"

"...Isn't it you?" Shi Gunqiu blinked blankly, "You asked me to go further to inquire, and after I inquired, I came back by myself."

Xu Zheng was furious, and raised his hand again: "Inquiry! I told you to go far away, not to inquire, but to let you not hinder me from inquiring. I don't even understand this!"

Shi Gunqiu covered his forehead and nodded, he was stunned for a moment and then said: "Then shall I go further now?"

"What are you going for, people are scared away by you!" Xu Zhengran twisted his arms, with an irritable expression on his face, "It's really hard to find someone who knows her whereabouts. I haven't even asked where my senior is..."

"Ah, I know this!" Shi Gunqiu hurriedly raised his hand, "I asked!"

Xu Zhengran: "... Huh?"

"There just now, I saw a few girls in strange clothes, buying water." Shi Gunqiu pointed to the distance, put his hands on both sides of his head, and stroked down, comparing two long braids. "I asked them if they saw your senior sister, and they said they did. They saw her walking south by herself, and told her to ignore her, with a silver comb in her hand..."

Xu Zhengran: "..."

"There was a girl who said she could take me there." Shi Gunqiu continued enthusiastically, "Just give her WeChat ID. I said I would come to you first and told her to wait there. By the way, you have WeChat ID ?"

"..." Xu Zhengran gritted his teeth, "Quickly handsome."

Shi Gunqiu didn't hear clearly, and asked, "What?"

"It's nothing." Xu Zhengran rolled his eyes at him, and said in a sullen tone, "The south...don't need someone to lead the way, I know where to find someone."

Shi Gunqiu: "???"

Xu Zhengran didn't bother to explain, he turned around and left, Shi Gunqiu hurriedly followed.After an unknown amount of time, rustling sounds came from the bushes downstairs in the dormitory, and a bird-headed, human-body undead poked its head out, looked in the direction the two left for a while, then slowly got up, feeling lingering fear: " Oh my god, it's scary meow! That guy is so scary, meow!"

"Excuse me, excuse me." A polite voice suddenly came from behind, and the bird's head almost went back in fright.He turned back in shock, and saw a young man in a suit standing behind him, with a polite smile, leaning on a pale young man, looking very weak, with a piece of ice sticker on his forehead.

Reaching out to support the young man's body, the young man squinted his fox eyes and asked, "I heard that there is an abandoned swimming pool in this school..."

"It's a bathhouse." The young man leaning on him corrected impatiently, his tone weak.The young man nodded: "Yes, the bathhouse. If it's convenient, can I trouble you to show us the way?"

There are four bathhouses in Da S, two in the north and two in the south.The bathhouses in the south are divided into old and new ones. The old bathhouses were abandoned because of their outdated facilities and accidents, the semester before Xu Zhengran entered school.The school built a new bathhouse nearby, and locked it up, but never took care of dismantling it; in addition, the location is relatively remote, and few people come, so there are always spirits who have nowhere to go to rest and shelter here.There are more and more spirits staying here, and the small space is getting bigger and bigger. By the time Xu Zhengran entered school, it had become the largest gathering place for spirits on campus, and there was even a hotel in it—although it was really rudimentary. , a shower cubicle is considered a room without even a door; in contrast, the lockers in the dressing room are much more advanced. A space, clean and dry.

There don't seem to be many guests today. Most of the wardrobe doors in the dressing room are open, and the inside is empty. There are a few ghosts sitting sparsely on the chairs in the middle, some talking in whispers, some in a daze, or acting Keep your head down and do your own thing.Xu Zhengran leaned on the window and peeked in for a while, but didn't see the senior in the locker room, so he jumped off Shi Gunqiu's shoulders, came and went to pry the lock on the bathhouse door, and said to Shi Gunqiu while prying: "Wait Just wait here, don't make any trouble, you know?"

Shi Gunqiu gave a "hmm", rubbed his shoulders and stood up, his feet were a little numb from squatting for a long time.He thought about it, but still felt a little uneasy: "You just go in alone? There are many spirits inside."

"Otherwise? Take you in? What kind of trouble will it be?" Xu Zhengran cut, skillfully unlocked the padlock, and opened the bathroom door.Shi Gunqiu said again: "Are you sure your senior sister is here? The smell here is too complicated, I can't smell anything."

"Probably." Xu Zhengran pursed his lips.In fact, he wasn't very sure about it, but when he heard that his senior was going south, his first reaction was here.According to other people's descriptions, he felt that the senior must have been controlled by something, and that thing was probably a spirit, the one that killed Liang Youyou.She killed Liang Youyou and wanted to harm her senior sister, but because of her senior sister's actions, she felt a certain sense of crisis, so the first thing she did after controlling her senior sister was to run and find a place to put herself hide.And if you want to hide yourself, a place with many spirit bodies is a good choice - like now, Shi Gunqiu has been confused by the smell and it is difficult to distinguish.

Of course, these are just Xu Zhengran's own speculations, and he can only pray that his judgment is not wrong—even if it is wrong, it should not be too wrong.It would be best if someone inside could give some key information, that would be worth it.

With such thoughts in mind, Xu Zhengran walked into the bathroom, and first walked into the lady's dressing room to take a look - what he just stood on Shi Gunqiu's body to peek at was the men's locker room, and he hadn't seen the lady's side yet.

At first glance, the situation is similar to that of the men's locker room, except that there seem to be more customers, and many locker doors are closed.There were also a few spirits sitting on the chair in the middle, Xu Zhengran only glanced at them before retreating, not noticing that one of them slightly raised his eyelids after he left, looking inquiringly.

There is a small aisle between the men's and women's locker rooms. There is a table in the aisle. On the table is an old white cat with a bony skin.Xu Zhengran stepped forward and asked him, "Can I ask someone from you?"

The old cat looked at him lazily, and yawned: "No."

"Then can I go in and look for it myself?"

The old cat stretched out its paws and scratched under its stomach, and pulled out a QR code: "Five yuan."

"..." Xu Zhengran bit his lips in pain, and resignedly took out his phone to open Alipay.He had some cards on his mobile phone, and Alipay clicked for a long time without any response, so he started to clear the background, but he accidentally clicked on the browser, and the forum post he was reading earlier jumped out, and a small envelope flashed in the upper left corner Go, indicating that he has received a new reply.

"Hey, wait, wait, it will be ready soon." Xu Zhengran yelled repeatedly, and quickly scanned the QR code first, then clicked on the post to read the reply.Looking at it, he frowned and hesitated for a moment. He walked to the door, poked his face out, and saw Shi Gunqiu squatting on the steps watching dragonflies.

"Hey, Lion." Xu Zhengran called him, "Ask you something. You said you have an owner, right?"

Hearing the sound, Shi Gunqiu looked back happily, and nodded honestly: "Yes, yes."

Xu Zhengran: "What about others?"

Shi Gunqiu: "It's gone."

Xu Zhengran: "Dead?"

Shi Gongqiu nodded again.

Xu Zhengran let out an "oh", took a deep look at Shi Gunqiu's shadow, and slowly retracted his head.Leaning behind the door, he picked up his phone, read the reply twice, and clenched his fists unconsciously.

"Damn." He couldn't help cursing, and slapped his forehead with one hand, "I can't... What the hell did I do to provoke such an annoying thing!"
