Chasing Corpse Trail [Interstellar]
Chapter 12 Paying the Rent
Leaving the weird forest hut, the six of them explored all the way and found the same scenery everywhere.When everyone fled yesterday, they fought all the way and killed so many monsters. Now that they have gone back the same way, everything in the night has disappeared like morning dew, leaving no trace.The danger when night fell seemed to be just an illusion of everyone, there were no monsters, no human traces.
The sun of the Forest of Despair came out late and set early, sporadically three parts on the ground covered with dead branches and fallen leaves, always giving people a feeling of dying struggle with light, and soon, a day passed, and everyone couldn’t help it. Can go back to the haunted house.
"I didn't find anything, it's the same everywhere." Luan Que said dejectedly.
"Go into the house first, those monsters should come out again when it gets dark."
Yiluo looked up at the villa located in the forest, she was too hasty to observe it when she came here yesterday, but now she saw that it really deserved the name of the haunted house, countless twigs climbed up from the back, almost covering the entire villa. Including, there are only a few windows and a door left, which looks like seven or eight eyes and a mouth exposed on a scorched human head. Yi Luo sighed, "I really don't want to go in again. , as if they were going to throw themselves into the mouth of demons, those evil spirits are chewing our teeth."
Hearing this, everyone raised their heads and waited and watched. At this moment of nightfall, the only shelter in the dangerous forest was such a monster with a not-so-pretty disguise, waiting to choose someone to devour.
Back in the room, everyone was a little silent.
Where exactly is the exit?
They can only be active during the daytime, and they can't leave the hut too far, otherwise, if they can't find their way back, they may be attacked to death at night and eliminated directly.And the guide said that the exit will only appear on the last day of the assessment, and it will only exist for a while. Even if they walk around the exit now, they will lose the opportunity because they don't know that it is the exit.
An Le bit her thumb, looked contemplative, and said for a while, "I have some ideas about the exit, but the time is too short to be sure yet. Wait a minute, we will have a clue in a few days. Now What we have to do is to follow the instructions of the guide, have a good meal, and then rest."
Everyone questioned, but An Le didn't say anything, only said that it was still early.
Fang Shanshui glanced at An Le, then at the gloomy house, but said nothing.
In the next few days, several people went out during the day as usual, and came back to stay in this haunted house at night.However, everyone has discovered a bad thing, that is, the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer and longer.
Although there is no timing device, this change is too obvious. From the first 7 or 8 hours, it has been shortened to only 5 hours to see the sun.
The sunlight is gradually being swallowed up by this forest, and the rustling sound of the leaves rubbing against each other every day is their constantly changing positions, wrapping the sky densely and engulfing the people trapped here.
Moreover, from the third day onwards, the evil spirits in this haunted house became more and more impatient. Although Fang Shanshui painted the array, these ghosts did not dare to get too close, but there were footsteps everywhere every night, upstairs and downstairs. , Inside and outside the wall, back and forth, uninterrupted, "boom", "boom", "boom", "boom", so noisy that people can't sleep peacefully.
Not only the sound of footsteps, but also the sound of dripping water, and a long and strange cry, which continued every night.
And on the sixth day, the evil spirits in the house even began to appear openly in front of everyone. Although they were not close, they were densely distributed outside the pattern, on the stairs, by the windows, and even on lampstands, cabinets, and any In the corner, densely packed pale and tragic grimaces, just so gloomy, dead silent, staring quietly at the people sleeping in the pattern.
That night, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw such a tragic scene, and almost died of fright, but when they woke up Fang Shanshui, Fang Shanshui's half-opened eyes swept over the "faces" surrounding them one by one. The homeowners who are not good” turned their heads and fell asleep again.
Lingyi was about to cry, "Brother, can you prevent them from approaching, can you find a way to eliminate them all, and don't let them appear again! I can't bear it, being stared at by so many evil spirits, How did you sleep?"
Helpless, Fang Shanshui was disturbed and sat there with a little low pressure and half-opened eyes to wake up. Mu Qing, who was originally pillowed on his stomach, fell to the ground with a round head because of his getting up, and was also low pressure. Sitting up, he stared darkly at the group of sleep-disturbing people around him.
"Ah, they are coming towards us!"
"Ah, they're getting close again!"
In the past few days, these people have been noisy and almost haven't had a good night's sleep. Now that those ghosts finally calmed down, these people started making trouble again, Fang Shanshui's forehead was throbbing with veins, and he said loudly: "Quiet! "
Everyone looked at Fang Shanshui, and the two girls waited for Fang Shanshui to speak, as if they had found support.
Fang Shanshui said patiently: "Have you ever rented out a house? Have you stayed in a hotel?"
Everyone wondered why the topic turned to this topic, but they all nodded honestly. Although not everyone has rented a house, they must have lived in a hotel.
Fang Shanshui continued: "Think about you renting a house and staying in a hotel. If you don't pay the money and don't leave, how will the owner react? You won't mind these ghosts staring at you."
"Uh……"
An Le silently glanced at the owner Fang Shanshui was talking about, and the others were also a little speechless. It is true that...
"Then what should we do? It's not that we don't want to pay, and there are no cashiers here!" Luan Que scratched her hair and screamed, "Can you tell them not to stare at us? How can I sleep like this? The landlord is going all out to collect debts, and I don't want to face these 'landlords' who may swallow you up in a second without saying a word!"
Fang Shanshui rubbed his sore brows, "Let me think about it... Does any of you have Fishgard's money?"
Everyone nodded positively.
Luan Que silently counted the wallets, and said without confidence: "As long as Fishgard's currency is needed, I just exchanged 300 million, is that enough?"
An Le scratched her head and said, "I only have 1000 million, tuition fees and pocket money for half a semester."
Yi Luo said neatly: "One million."
Ling Yi said with a bit of distress: "I have 2000 million on me, but I saved up to buy a suspension car."
Laughing together hand in hand: "A group of poor ghosts, even my uncle has 1 million! ... Ordinary universe coins ╮(╯▽╰)╭"
"Cut!" Everyone despised.
There are several grades of cosmic coins, and there are cosmic silver coins and cosmic gold coins on them. Fishgard's currency and cosmic gold coins are equivalent. One is equal to 1 ordinary cosmic coins, and 100 million ordinary cosmic coins are equivalent to Yiluo's 100 million Fishgard currency.
Yimo looked up at the sky, as if he felt that he was not so gregarious in terms of money, and said: "I only have pocket money for this month, 1 million blue."
Hand in hand laughed and said: "Ahaha, it's the universe coin again, a guy with no new ideas, copying my uncle's idea."
Yi Luo poked the hand in hand, and corrected: "He said it was [-] million blue."
Together in surprise: "So what?"
"Blue is Fishgard's currency unit. It's different from you. You know the poor." Luanque complained.
Lianbei stared at Immortal for a long time, then suddenly changed the subject and looked at Fang Shanshui, "Ah, big brother, what is the use of this money? Although we are all poor, there is a local tyrant here, you can suppress it as much as you want." He must be enough, hahaha."
Fang Shanshui, the real poor man with no money on him, silently glanced at several people, and said concisely: "Pay the rent."
……
Everyone turned their heads to look at the ghost house people who made dumplings for them, completely unable to imagine how these things would collect rent.
Looking at the cards that everyone took out, Fang Shanshui asked, "Are there no banknotes?"
Everyone shook their heads, Yi Luo said: "Fishgard doesn't have banknotes, if you want to pay, just hold the card and meditate on the number, and then pair it with someone else's card."
Fang Shanshui is also in trouble, he doesn't even have banknotes, so how can this ghost from another planet bribe him?
"Guys, we are just borrowing for a few days, please make it easier, we only have so much money on us, you can figure it out. If you agree, please bring a payment method; if you don't agree, if we continue like this, we will only be able to fight We met!" After Fang Shanshui finished speaking, he slapped the ground with his palm, and the pattern under his body suddenly became bright and bright, and the surrounding ghosts retreated instantly like shadows in the sun, and kept retreating, gradually disappearing at the corner of the stairs, beside the wall, behind the door.
Soon, the hall became quiet again.
The light of the pattern was still there, very dazzling. The ghost seemed to be frightened, and did not come out for a long time. Fang Shanshui squinted his eyes and said, "Sleep. If anyone makes a noise this time, I will throw him out." Lie down and fall asleep in seconds.
Mu Qing also yelled in unison, "Aw!" Throw it out!
After finishing speaking, Mu Qing thought that after warning these people, Mu Qing also lay down straight, turned over and continued to rest on Fang Shanshui's stomach, closing her eyes.
Everyone looked at each other.
·
Sure enough, no ghosts came out to disturb them that night. After they all woke up, they found that there was an extra card outside the pattern at some point. Hollowed out everyone's pockets.
"It's really greedy..." Picking up the card and flipping through it, Fang Shanshui turned his head to look at the crowd, "Do you want to pay? If you pay, you will lose a dime."
Except for Ling Yi who was struggling a bit, the others all said, pay!Obviously they are people who don't take these little money seriously.
Ling Yi looked at Fang Shanshui strangely and said, "Why are we different? Why don't those ghosts let you pay?"
"..." The poor Fang Shanshui sighed: "After you pay the money, we will be the same."
"Eh? Uh..."
Without further ado, Fang Shanshui took everyone's card and swiped it mercilessly a few times, sucking up everyone's money in a short while. The unknown card was placed on the ground, It disappeared after a while, and a number appeared in place, nine.
"What does it mean?"
An Le said with an excited expression, "That means we are only allowed to stay for nine days!"
Lianyi smashed the stick angrily, "Shit, these guys are too much, they took the money and didn't let them live until the last day! And what are you doing so happy, it's not a good thing!"
Fang Shanshui also smiled slightly: "This is indeed a good thing. I can be sure, the exit we are looking for is here!"
The sun of the Forest of Despair came out late and set early, sporadically three parts on the ground covered with dead branches and fallen leaves, always giving people a feeling of dying struggle with light, and soon, a day passed, and everyone couldn’t help it. Can go back to the haunted house.
"I didn't find anything, it's the same everywhere." Luan Que said dejectedly.
"Go into the house first, those monsters should come out again when it gets dark."
