Strange Story of Strange House
Chapter 4 chapter 004
The dormitory building of S University has always been powered off at 06 o'clock at night, and the power supply will not be restored until 30:[-] the next morning.Everyone has long been used to this kind of work and rest time, so when the lights go out, the seven people in the dormitory are very peaceful.
But shortly after the lights were turned off, the vision suddenly appeared.Lin Chi first heard the singing, the girl's unique soft voice humming a strange and long tune.As the female voice diffused in the dormitory, there was also a biting chill.
Lin Chi felt danger subconsciously, and this premonition of crisis had saved his life many times.So without hesitation, he covered Chen Feng's mouth beside him, and dragged him back toward the sink.The potential that a person bursts out in the face of danger allows him to easily drag away Chen Feng, who is much taller than him.
The windows of Cao Yike and the others’ dormitory are facing the school’s avenue, and street lights can shine into the room through the window when the curtains are not drawn.Lin Chi retreated to the window with the stunned Chen Feng in his arms, and pulled open the curtains.The street lamp instantly illuminated most of the dormitory, and Lin Chi was shocked to find that the originally tidy dormitory was now covered with large blood stains, and dried blood was stained everywhere.
At this time, the girls who had been huddled on the two lower bunks also began to go down one after another.They began to wander about the dormitory by themselves, blind but not interfering with each other.Lin Chi and Chen Feng were able to see their numb and hideous faces clearly with the help of the light.
Lin Chi was already used to such scenes, but Chen Feng was not. If Lin Chi hadn't tightly covered his mouth, he would have screamed a long time ago.
Bao Ni walked towards the two of them slowly with the two bloody holes in her head. Lin Chi dragged Chen Feng to move a little bit, carefully avoiding her path.Bao Ni's eyeballs were gouged out, and the eye sockets were still bleeding. She looked very scary. Lin Chi could even feel the trembling of Chen Feng, who was tall and thick in front of him. For a normal person, this It was so exciting.
As Bao Ni approached, Chen Feng trembled more and more, and Bao Ni seemed to be sensitive to something in the direction of the sink, but just as she was groping towards the sink, Ye Bai stopped Her: "Nini!"
Bao Ni obviously still had a reaction to her name, she stopped in her tracks, and looked at Ye Bai blankly.
"Come here...Come here, okay? Don't go there." Ye Bai tremblingly said.
"Well..." Bao Ni hesitated for a moment, then walked towards her obediently.The threat disappeared temporarily, and Lin Chi had the opportunity to look at the entire dormitory.
Han Xia lovingly hugged a dead baby that had turned black, and swayed and sang a lullaby, but fortunately, she was just spinning around in place, and there was no danger for the time being.
Feng Yao didn't seem to feel any pain, she bit off one of her fingers, and stared greedily at the baby in Han Xia's arms who didn't know how long she had been dead.
Ye Bai was the last one to get off the bed. She stood next to the bed, her complexion was pale, but she couldn't see anything unusual.
——There are normal people in this dormitory?
Lin Chi looked at her, a thought flashed through his mind quickly, but he didn't have time to think about it.Bao Ni walked slowly to Ye Bai's side. Ye Bai was obviously afraid of her. After shivering, he took a quick step back, walked around Bao Ni and approached Lin Chi and the two of them.
"...Bai?" Ghosts are always a bit stubborn, Bao Ni was stunned for a moment, and then followed.
"Nini... have you seen that clay pot?" Although Ye Bai was afraid, he calmly pushed Bao Ni away, "...you look for it, where is the clay pot?"
"Clay pottery?" This topic really aroused Bao Ni's interest, she stopped and began to search in the dormitory instead.
"Is it missing?" Han Xia put down the child in her arms and started searching.
"I'm here to help too... Ah! I broke my hand again..." Li Qian, who was the only one still lying on the bed, glanced at her broken limbs and said with some regret, "I have needles and threads in the closet. Who will sew it for me?"
At this time, Lin Chi realized that even if there was no curse, the clay pot was still a relatively important thing to them.
However, when several people who did not interfere with each other had an intersection, the scene quickly became chaotic.Han Xia turned around inadvertently, only to find that her child had become Feng Yao's lunch. She was furious, and rushed towards Feng Yao, her sharp nails ripped a piece of flesh from Feng Yao's body.Feng Yao suddenly screamed, and threw away the dead baby in her hands. Han Xia stopped chasing, but lovingly hugged her child... Taking advantage of their attention being diverted, Ye Bai opened the bathroom door , pulled Chen and Lin in, and locked the door behind his back.
As soon as he entered the door, Ye Bai lowered his voice: "I know you have many things to ask, but you can't stay here." The few people outside are very aggressive, and Lin Chi and Chen Feng are different from Cao Yike. They had been together for so long before they were let go. Ye Bai didn't even dare to think about what would happen if they were replaced by Chen Lin.
"What happened here?" Lin Chi seized the time and asked the question in his heart.
"Before, we accidentally opened the clay pot that Yi Ke brought..." Ye Bai hugged himself with both hands. They will become like this... What's even more ridiculous is that I'm fine, obviously I opened the clay pot with my own hands, and all of them have become like this, but I'm fine!"
"What's in the pot?" Lin Chi and Chen Feng looked at each other, both of them were a little excited, they finally found someone who knew the truth.
"Hand...a shriveled hand."
"Then what happened after seeing the hand?" Lin Chi immediately asked, the more detailed the situation was, the more he could find a way to break the curse.
"I... I don't remember. I can't remember what happened after opening the jar. Not only that, but as soon as one to six o'clock, everything will return to normal, and during the day we won't remember anything that happened at night... I remember everything at night." Ye Bai glanced at the direction of the door, "but what's the use?"
Lin Chi didn't know how to comfort her for a while, the matter had been roughly understood, and it was indeed as Ye Bai said, they should leave here as soon as possible, otherwise if something really happened, he didn't have the confidence to handle it.
"How do I get out of here now?"
"Let's move slowly towards the door, and I will open the door to let you out later. Although they have diverted their attention now, it doesn't mean they won't attack in the future. You must not make any noise!"
Lin Chi thought for a while, and felt that this plan was indeed worth a try, probably because he had seen too many supernatural events, and he was much calmer than Chen Feng on this matter.After all, Chen Feng had already used most of his strength just to keep quiet, let alone thinking about how to get out of trouble.
"Come with me." Ye Bai opened the door a gap, found the right moment, and slowly moved towards the door while guarding the two of them.To walk from the bathroom to the door of the dormitory, they had to go through the central area of the dormitory where several people were entrenched.
The three of them marched slowly in a group. Fortunately, a few girls could still recognize Ye Bai, remember not to hurt her, so even if they noticed the movement here several times, Ye Bai blocked them back.
But just when they were about to reach the door safely, Chen Feng suddenly stepped on a soft object. He suddenly looked down and saw that what he was stepping on was actually a severed arm!
"Ah!" Although he tried his best to suppress it, the sudden shock still made him exclaim.
"Hee hee hee hee, you stepped on my hand." Li Qian's malicious voice suddenly and clearly sounded in the not so quiet bedroom.Feng Yao, who was extremely hungry, rushed towards this side immediately, Lin Chi stretched out his hand to block it, and immediately opened the door and rushed out, Chen Feng grabbed Ye Bai and followed closely behind.
The three of them rushed downstairs quickly, and the dormitory building, which was supposed to have closed doors, was unimpeded all the way, but the crisis was not over. Except for Li Qian, whose body was broken and unable to move, all three people in the dormitory chased them out and ran out all the way. The dormitory area is far away, and Feng Yao and the others are still chasing after her.
Human physical strength is limited, so escaping like this is not an option after all. Lin Chi noticed a fork in the road not far ahead. He was very aware of his attraction to ghosts and strange objects, so he decided to take a gamble. He asked Chen Feng to take the Ye Bai ran towards the fork in the south, while he himself ran towards the west.
Sure enough, Feng Yao and the others all followed him to the west.
Lin Chi breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that Chen Feng and the others should be safe.As for himself, as long as he can run back to Yunlou, all problems will be solved.After all, although the group of ghosts at home liked to bully him, they never tolerated others bullying him.This method of "only I can bully others with my things is courting death" has been thoroughly carried forward by Yun Jing since Huaiyin, causing everyone up and down Yunlou, including the shapeless kid at the door, to know that Lin Chi is only available to people in Yunlou. Bully……
Lin Chi ran towards the direction of Yunlou, and after a while, he was already close to the west gate.In his impression, the West Gate at night has always been bustling with crowds of people lingering in front of various food stalls.But as soon as he arrived at Ximen, he noticed something strange. There were no people in the night market outside Ximen, all the lights in the shops were turned off, and the whole street was eerily silent.In the silence, only one store is still operating normally.
Lin Chi is no stranger to this shop, and he heard a few girls talking about it just at noon today.
******
Although Lin Chi has strong explosive power, his physical strength is not good.The distance from the dormitory area to the west gate usually takes nearly four to ten minutes on foot, which is already a big challenge for him, not to mention that there are always people chasing after him, although the sense of urgency makes him play better than usual Level, but the consumption of physical strength is even greater.
As he approached Ximen, his pace had already slowed down.
The distance between him and the person behind him was gradually shortened, but Lin Chi obviously didn't have the energy to speed up again.The original plan of running back to the Yunlou to hide was obviously not going to work, so he rushed towards the only shop that was open in the blink of an eye.
Lin Chi himself couldn't explain why he ran there. Perhaps it was the human nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages that played a role.Facing closed stores one by one, the only one that is open becomes the only hope.Even if it is hell, he will step into it without hesitation.
The moment he stepped into the store, the oppressive feeling behind him suddenly disappeared, and the feeling of powerlessness after strenuous exercise counterattacked instantly. Lin Chi's feet softened, and he staggered towards the person in front of him. A cold breath instantly filled his nasal cavity.The person who caught him also seemed to be taken aback by this move, and was stunned for a few seconds before helping him up.
After standing still, Lin Chi immediately turned his head to look at the door. The three people who had been chasing him were blocked by an invisible barrier, unable to come in for a while.Lin Chi could see that the defense here was comparable to that of Yunlou, and he felt relieved, and then he looked up at the man whom he had "thrown into his arms"—he was tall and thin, Standing with his back to the light, Lin Chi couldn't see his face clearly for a while. When his eyes adjusted to the light, he saw an unusually delicate face. The skin was like fine ivory, glowing warmly under the light. .
"Cough cough." The slightly smiling cough woke up Lin Chi, who was not taking his eyes off it. He suddenly came back to his senses, stepped back hastily, and thanked the man.The girl who spoke just now was standing not far away holding a cup of tea, lowering her head to hide her smile.
The man glanced at him blankly and nodded.Although he was still in shock, Lin Chi was still a little distracted, thinking that this man is so beautiful even if he doesn't smile!
After panting, Lin Chi pointed outside, dryly trying to explain the situation.Unexpectedly, the store didn't care at all, the girl smiled and stepped forward, pressed Lin Chi's shoulder and pressed the chair, put the tea on the table, and said with a smile: "Although it's closed, since there is a fate, the guests may as well Come and taste our specialties." She glanced at the door, "As for a little trouble outside the door, guests don't have to worry at all."
With that said, she handed over the exquisite menu.
In fact, Lin Chi doesn't have the heart to eat at all right now, the three people outside the door are still baring their teeth and claws, and there is a beauty he covets in the room.He was so embarrassed that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and it was obviously not a good time to say goodbye, so he could only stay here with a cheeky face, following the girl's instructions step by step.
"What do you want?"
"It's all...it's okay."
"Then can I recommend one to you?"
"Well, thank you..."
"Brother, a piece of Yangchun noodles." The girl raised her voice and ordered, and the cook brother nodded slightly, and entered the kitchen silently.
And the beauty that Lin Chi coveted was leaning sideways in front of the cash register with a book in his hand. Lin Chi's unexpected visit did not affect his interest in reading at all.But soon, Han Xia and the others who had lost their target began to howl outside the door, and the beauty frowned.
"Danqing."
"Sorry boss, I'll deal with it right away." The girl called Danqing bowed and walked towards the door, winking at Lin Chi playfully before leaving.
As soon as the lively and cheerful Danqing left, the store immediately became quiet.Lin Chi looked at his clothes nervously, for fear of leaving a bad impression on others, although the person beside him didn't even take his eyes off the book for a second.
Lin Chi looked around himself, rolled his eyes, and turned his gaze to the whole store. This is a newly opened noodle restaurant with antique decoration.The tables and chairs are all made of wood, and there are various imitations of famous Chinese paintings hanging in the store. Lin Chi can even imagine a girl in a red retro Tang suit walking through the store with a tray, delivering the ordered meals to the customers with a smile. .When business is at its best, the unsmiling cook will probably be very busy.And the owner, who is one of the shop's signs, always sits quietly at the cash register, holding a book, with a deceptively delicate profile.
Even with this face alone, the business of this store can't be bad.As Lin Chi was thinking this way, he secretly looked at the man.
Different from Huaiyin's neutral beauty, this shopkeeper's face is not feminine at all, and the curvature of the jaw is beautiful, which outlines a handsome face. The eyes are even more magical, the eyelashes are very long, and the drooping curve of the eyelids makes people itch, not to mention the black pupils are so deep that they can drown people in their eyes...
"What are you looking at?" The shopkeeper who had been stared at for a long time suddenly looked up at Lin Chi.
"!!!" This is different from the agreed setting of facial paralysis and reticence! ! !Although he complained in his heart, on the surface, Lin Chi flatly denied his nympho behavior just now, "It's nothing, the decoration of this store is really beautiful."
The shopkeeper hooked the corner of his mouth, but did not speak.Lin Chi was a little embarrassed, and started to ask, "Where did that girl go?"
The shopkeeper glanced at him with a half-smile, which made Lin Chi suffocate. This face was so suitable that Lin Chi felt that he was about to lose control of his hands and feet.
Everyone has a love of beauty, it's not shameful, anyway, no one saw it, Lin Chi secretly comforted himself.To be honest, sitting here now, he still has an unreal feeling. He was clearly on the run from life and death just a second ago, but now he is sitting in a warm and bright noodle shop waiting for supper.
After several conversations, Lin Chi didn't continue to struggle.On the contrary, the shopkeeper glanced outside the door. Danqing obviously had no intention of coming back, so he got up and refilled Lin Chi's cup with tea.
When the tea was placed in front of Lin Chi, he subconsciously stretched out his hands to hold it, but due to the speed, even the shopkeeper's hand was caught in his palm before he could withdraw it.
At that moment, Lin Chi's heart was filled with joy. As a senior VIP of the Appearance Association and the Hand Control Association, although there was always a beauty like Yun Jing Huaiyin by his side, he still couldn't stop him from seeing a beauty who poked his cute spot in all directions. I was very excited.
If it weren't for the shopkeeper still in front of him, Lin Chi would have rolled around holding the water glass for a few times.
But in reality, he obediently let go of the shopkeeper's hand.The shopkeeper didn't mind either, he put down the cup and returned to its original position.
At this moment, the little brother in the kitchen finally served Yangchun noodles.
Lin Chi didn't have much appetite, but he couldn't live up to his desire to cook for him in the middle of the night, so he stuffed a few bites into his mouth, and the result was delicious beyond his expectation, and he ate half a bowl without knowing it.And Danqing also came back at this time.
Her body was stained with blood, and she casually grabbed the towel handed over by her younger brother to wipe off the blood stains on her face. She showed Lin Chi a gentle smile: "The trouble outside the door has been resolved, and the guests can completely not worried."
Lin Chi was stunned for a moment, he looked at the blood on Danqing's face, and panicked in his heart: "Thank you..."
He looked down at the noodles in the bowl, unable to eat any more, he gritted his teeth and asked again: "Can I ask, what did you do to them?"
Danqing smiled and wiped his neck at him, and Lin Chi's face turned pale instantly.
"Wait! They're just cursed! They're still human in essence! Just kill them like that...that's all..."
"But if you are caught up, you will be the one to die." Dan Qing stretched out his hands to wrap around the hair hanging down his chest, with a playful expression on his face.
"But...but..."
"Pfft." Danqing smiled, "Do you believe everything I say?"
"Huh?" Lin Chi was stunned for a moment, obviously not realizing that it was just a joke.
"Although I killed them now, they are not dead."
"What does it mean?"
Danqing ignored him, just smiled and said to the owner: "Boss, we are going to close. Cleaning is not suitable for you at all, just leave it to me and Ya. But this guest, please send me It's a ride."
"Huh?" Lin Chi stood up all of a sudden, looked at the smiling Danqing blankly, and found that the shopkeeper actually got up and walked past him.
Lin Chi glanced back at Danqing, the girl pointed to the shopkeeper and motioned him to follow, until he caught up with the shopkeeper, Lin Chi was still in a daze.
"Where do you live?" the beauty shopkeeper asked.
"Cloud Tower."
Hearing this, the shopkeeper gave him a surprised look, but he didn't say anything dangerous about Yunlou.
The two walked in silence for a while, and Lin Chi finally couldn't help asking about something he had always cared about.
"Well, what does Danqing mean when she said that she killed my classmates, but they didn't die?"
"As long as the curse on those people is not broken, even if you chop them into a pulp, they will wake up intact the next day."
"Who are you guys? Why do you know..."
"I'm from the Lou family."
"Loujia?"
The Lou family is an aristocratic family that maintains the order of the dark world and has been passed down for hundreds of years.But the shopkeeper didn't know how to explain to Lin Chi, and didn't think what to explain, so he remained silent.
"Heavenly Master. Oh, oh, it's a high-end and high-end profession!" Lin Chi sighed, then patted the shopkeeper on the shoulder, "I know, this profession is very good and powerful, I won't tell you Take it easy" expression.
"..." The man raised his pretty eyebrows, feeling a little helpless at Lin Chi's lack of focus.But Lin Chi didn't seem to care at all: "Then you came here for this matter? Can you help my classmate break the curse?"
"No, I just happened to meet you who was hunted down."
"Then will you help us with this?"
"will not."
"why?"
"No reason." Due to the existence of Yunlou, City K has become the most difficult bone in the southwest region.The huge amount of Yin Qi nourished countless ghosts and ghosts. As the strongest fighting force in the new generation of the Lou family, the man was mercilessly thrown by his family to guard K City.
But as the maintainer of the order of the dark world, what he has to do is not to kill all monsters that are harmful to humans, but to wipe out creatures whose behavior exceeds the allowable range of the law of the dark world, whether they are humans or ghosts.
Hearing his refusal, although Lin Chi was disappointed, he didn't force it.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at Yunlou, Lin Chi hesitated for a moment. He didn't know if he and the beautiful shopkeeper would have a chance to get along like this again, but he didn't even know the name of the savior. After hesitating for a few seconds, Lin Chiguo disconnected. mouthed:
"My name is Lin Chi. How about you?"
"..."
"Thank you for helping me today. In fact, those who were chasing me just now are my classmates..." Lin Chi was not discouraged when he didn't get an answer from the man, and continued talking on his own until the man felt helpless. interrupted him.
"Lou Qi."
"They became like this...ah, what did you just say?" Lin Chi tilted his head and looked at the man, his face turned red from over-stress, his whole head was huddled in the hoodie, looking like a harmless little animal .Looking at his innocent appearance, Lou Qi repeated helplessly: "Lou Qi, my name."
"Lou Qi?...a nice name!" The little animal raised a bright smile, unaware that the person he covets really wants to touch his head at this moment.
"Thank you."
Lin Chi stood in front of Yunlou and said goodbye to Lou Qi. He turned his head after a few steps, and Lou Qi watched him off from the door.Lin Chi was a little embarrassed at once, waved his hand at Lou Qi, and rushed into the hall in a few steps, the door slowly closed behind him, blocking everything.
It was already very late, Lin Chi patted his head and took Lou Qi's beautiful face out of his mind, then went upstairs to explain to Huaiyin why he came back so late today.
Lou Qi stood outside the Yunlou, half-closed his eyes and stared at the culprit who made him station in K City.At this moment, a dark wind suddenly blew up, and the terrifying Yin Qi hovered in the courtyard of Yunlou, twisting into a human shape.When the wind cleared, a woman in cheongsam appeared in front of Lou Qi. She bent down and rushed towards Lou Qi.
Lou Qi understood that the woman was thanking him for escorting Lin Chi back today, but this gesture was a warning.He didn't want to conflict with Yunlou for the time being, so he turned back on the spot.After walking for a while, he suddenly turned his head and found that the light in Yunlou had been on all the time, and it went out at some point...
But shortly after the lights were turned off, the vision suddenly appeared.Lin Chi first heard the singing, the girl's unique soft voice humming a strange and long tune.As the female voice diffused in the dormitory, there was also a biting chill.
Lin Chi felt danger subconsciously, and this premonition of crisis had saved his life many times.So without hesitation, he covered Chen Feng's mouth beside him, and dragged him back toward the sink.The potential that a person bursts out in the face of danger allows him to easily drag away Chen Feng, who is much taller than him.
The windows of Cao Yike and the others’ dormitory are facing the school’s avenue, and street lights can shine into the room through the window when the curtains are not drawn.Lin Chi retreated to the window with the stunned Chen Feng in his arms, and pulled open the curtains.The street lamp instantly illuminated most of the dormitory, and Lin Chi was shocked to find that the originally tidy dormitory was now covered with large blood stains, and dried blood was stained everywhere.
At this time, the girls who had been huddled on the two lower bunks also began to go down one after another.They began to wander about the dormitory by themselves, blind but not interfering with each other.Lin Chi and Chen Feng were able to see their numb and hideous faces clearly with the help of the light.
Lin Chi was already used to such scenes, but Chen Feng was not. If Lin Chi hadn't tightly covered his mouth, he would have screamed a long time ago.
Bao Ni walked towards the two of them slowly with the two bloody holes in her head. Lin Chi dragged Chen Feng to move a little bit, carefully avoiding her path.Bao Ni's eyeballs were gouged out, and the eye sockets were still bleeding. She looked very scary. Lin Chi could even feel the trembling of Chen Feng, who was tall and thick in front of him. For a normal person, this It was so exciting.
As Bao Ni approached, Chen Feng trembled more and more, and Bao Ni seemed to be sensitive to something in the direction of the sink, but just as she was groping towards the sink, Ye Bai stopped Her: "Nini!"
Bao Ni obviously still had a reaction to her name, she stopped in her tracks, and looked at Ye Bai blankly.
"Come here...Come here, okay? Don't go there." Ye Bai tremblingly said.
"Well..." Bao Ni hesitated for a moment, then walked towards her obediently.The threat disappeared temporarily, and Lin Chi had the opportunity to look at the entire dormitory.
Han Xia lovingly hugged a dead baby that had turned black, and swayed and sang a lullaby, but fortunately, she was just spinning around in place, and there was no danger for the time being.
Feng Yao didn't seem to feel any pain, she bit off one of her fingers, and stared greedily at the baby in Han Xia's arms who didn't know how long she had been dead.
Ye Bai was the last one to get off the bed. She stood next to the bed, her complexion was pale, but she couldn't see anything unusual.
——There are normal people in this dormitory?
Lin Chi looked at her, a thought flashed through his mind quickly, but he didn't have time to think about it.Bao Ni walked slowly to Ye Bai's side. Ye Bai was obviously afraid of her. After shivering, he took a quick step back, walked around Bao Ni and approached Lin Chi and the two of them.
"...Bai?" Ghosts are always a bit stubborn, Bao Ni was stunned for a moment, and then followed.
"Nini... have you seen that clay pot?" Although Ye Bai was afraid, he calmly pushed Bao Ni away, "...you look for it, where is the clay pot?"
"Clay pottery?" This topic really aroused Bao Ni's interest, she stopped and began to search in the dormitory instead.
"Is it missing?" Han Xia put down the child in her arms and started searching.
"I'm here to help too... Ah! I broke my hand again..." Li Qian, who was the only one still lying on the bed, glanced at her broken limbs and said with some regret, "I have needles and threads in the closet. Who will sew it for me?"
At this time, Lin Chi realized that even if there was no curse, the clay pot was still a relatively important thing to them.
However, when several people who did not interfere with each other had an intersection, the scene quickly became chaotic.Han Xia turned around inadvertently, only to find that her child had become Feng Yao's lunch. She was furious, and rushed towards Feng Yao, her sharp nails ripped a piece of flesh from Feng Yao's body.Feng Yao suddenly screamed, and threw away the dead baby in her hands. Han Xia stopped chasing, but lovingly hugged her child... Taking advantage of their attention being diverted, Ye Bai opened the bathroom door , pulled Chen and Lin in, and locked the door behind his back.
As soon as he entered the door, Ye Bai lowered his voice: "I know you have many things to ask, but you can't stay here." The few people outside are very aggressive, and Lin Chi and Chen Feng are different from Cao Yike. They had been together for so long before they were let go. Ye Bai didn't even dare to think about what would happen if they were replaced by Chen Lin.

"What's in the pot?" Lin Chi and Chen Feng looked at each other, both of them were a little excited, they finally found someone who knew the truth.
"Hand...a shriveled hand."
"Then what happened after seeing the hand?" Lin Chi immediately asked, the more detailed the situation was, the more he could find a way to break the curse.
"I... I don't remember. I can't remember what happened after opening the jar. Not only that, but as soon as one to six o'clock, everything will return to normal, and during the day we won't remember anything that happened at night... I remember everything at night." Ye Bai glanced at the direction of the door, "but what's the use?"
Lin Chi didn't know how to comfort her for a while, the matter had been roughly understood, and it was indeed as Ye Bai said, they should leave here as soon as possible, otherwise if something really happened, he didn't have the confidence to handle it.
"How do I get out of here now?"
"Let's move slowly towards the door, and I will open the door to let you out later. Although they have diverted their attention now, it doesn't mean they won't attack in the future. You must not make any noise!"
Lin Chi thought for a while, and felt that this plan was indeed worth a try, probably because he had seen too many supernatural events, and he was much calmer than Chen Feng on this matter.After all, Chen Feng had already used most of his strength just to keep quiet, let alone thinking about how to get out of trouble.
"Come with me." Ye Bai opened the door a gap, found the right moment, and slowly moved towards the door while guarding the two of them.To walk from the bathroom to the door of the dormitory, they had to go through the central area of the dormitory where several people were entrenched.
The three of them marched slowly in a group. Fortunately, a few girls could still recognize Ye Bai, remember not to hurt her, so even if they noticed the movement here several times, Ye Bai blocked them back.
But just when they were about to reach the door safely, Chen Feng suddenly stepped on a soft object. He suddenly looked down and saw that what he was stepping on was actually a severed arm!
"Ah!" Although he tried his best to suppress it, the sudden shock still made him exclaim.
"Hee hee hee hee, you stepped on my hand." Li Qian's malicious voice suddenly and clearly sounded in the not so quiet bedroom.Feng Yao, who was extremely hungry, rushed towards this side immediately, Lin Chi stretched out his hand to block it, and immediately opened the door and rushed out, Chen Feng grabbed Ye Bai and followed closely behind.

Except for Li Qian, whose body was broken and unable to move, all three people in the dormitory chased them out and ran out all the way.

As he approached Ximen, his pace had already slowed down.
The distance between him and the person behind him was gradually shortened, but Lin Chi obviously didn't have the energy to speed up again.The original plan of running back to the Yunlou to hide was obviously not going to work, so he rushed towards the only shop that was open in the blink of an eye.
Lin Chi himself couldn't explain why he ran there. Perhaps it was the human nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages that played a role.Facing closed stores one by one, the only one that is open becomes the only hope.Even if it is hell, he will step into it without hesitation.
The moment he stepped into the store, the oppressive feeling behind him suddenly disappeared, and the feeling of powerlessness after strenuous exercise counterattacked instantly. Lin Chi's feet softened, and he staggered towards the person in front of him. A cold breath instantly filled his nasal cavity.The person who caught him also seemed to be taken aback by this move, and was stunned for a few seconds before helping him up.
After standing still, Lin Chi immediately turned his head to look at the door. The three people who had been chasing him were blocked by an invisible barrier, unable to come in for a while.Lin Chi could see that the defense here was comparable to that of Yunlou, and he felt relieved, and then he looked up at the man whom he had "thrown into his arms"—he was tall and thin, Standing with his back to the light, Lin Chi couldn't see his face clearly for a while. When his eyes adjusted to the light, he saw an unusually delicate face. The skin was like fine ivory, glowing warmly under the light. .
"Cough cough." The slightly smiling cough woke up Lin Chi, who was not taking his eyes off it. He suddenly came back to his senses, stepped back hastily, and thanked the man.The girl who spoke just now was standing not far away holding a cup of tea, lowering her head to hide her smile.
The man glanced at him blankly and nodded.Although he was still in shock, Lin Chi was still a little distracted, thinking that this man is so beautiful even if he doesn't smile!
After panting, Lin Chi pointed outside, dryly trying to explain the situation.Unexpectedly, the store didn't care at all, the girl smiled and stepped forward, pressed Lin Chi's shoulder and pressed the chair, put the tea on the table, and said with a smile: "Although it's closed, since there is a fate, the guests may as well Come and taste our specialties." She glanced at the door, "As for a little trouble outside the door, guests don't have to worry at all."
With that said, she handed over the exquisite menu.
In fact, Lin Chi doesn't have the heart to eat at all right now, the three people outside the door are still baring their teeth and claws, and there is a beauty he covets in the room.He was so embarrassed that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and it was obviously not a good time to say goodbye, so he could only stay here with a cheeky face, following the girl's instructions step by step.
"What do you want?"
"It's all...it's okay."
"Then can I recommend one to you?"
"Well, thank you..."
"Brother, a piece of Yangchun noodles." The girl raised her voice and ordered, and the cook brother nodded slightly, and entered the kitchen silently.
And the beauty that Lin Chi coveted was leaning sideways in front of the cash register with a book in his hand. Lin Chi's unexpected visit did not affect his interest in reading at all.But soon, Han Xia and the others who had lost their target began to howl outside the door, and the beauty frowned.
"Danqing."
"Sorry boss, I'll deal with it right away." The girl called Danqing bowed and walked towards the door, winking at Lin Chi playfully before leaving.
As soon as the lively and cheerful Danqing left, the store immediately became quiet.Lin Chi looked at his clothes nervously, for fear of leaving a bad impression on others, although the person beside him didn't even take his eyes off the book for a second.
Lin Chi looked around himself, rolled his eyes, and turned his gaze to the whole store. This is a newly opened noodle restaurant with antique decoration.The tables and chairs are all made of wood, and there are various imitations of famous Chinese paintings hanging in the store. Lin Chi can even imagine a girl in a red retro Tang suit walking through the store with a tray, delivering the ordered meals to the customers with a smile. .When business is at its best, the unsmiling cook will probably be very busy.And the owner, who is one of the shop's signs, always sits quietly at the cash register, holding a book, with a deceptively delicate profile.
Even with this face alone, the business of this store can't be bad.As Lin Chi was thinking this way, he secretly looked at the man.
Different from Huaiyin's neutral beauty, this shopkeeper's face is not feminine at all, and the curvature of the jaw is beautiful, which outlines a handsome face. The eyes are even more magical, the eyelashes are very long, and the drooping curve of the eyelids makes people itch, not to mention the black pupils are so deep that they can drown people in their eyes...
"What are you looking at?" The shopkeeper who had been stared at for a long time suddenly looked up at Lin Chi.
"!!!" This is different from the agreed setting of facial paralysis and reticence! ! !Although he complained in his heart, on the surface, Lin Chi flatly denied his nympho behavior just now, "It's nothing, the decoration of this store is really beautiful."
The shopkeeper hooked the corner of his mouth, but did not speak.Lin Chi was a little embarrassed, and started to ask, "Where did that girl go?"
The shopkeeper glanced at him with a half-smile, which made Lin Chi suffocate. This face was so suitable that Lin Chi felt that he was about to lose control of his hands and feet.
Everyone has a love of beauty, it's not shameful, anyway, no one saw it, Lin Chi secretly comforted himself.To be honest, sitting here now, he still has an unreal feeling. He was clearly on the run from life and death just a second ago, but now he is sitting in a warm and bright noodle shop waiting for supper.
After several conversations, Lin Chi didn't continue to struggle.On the contrary, the shopkeeper glanced outside the door. Danqing obviously had no intention of coming back, so he got up and refilled Lin Chi's cup with tea.
When the tea was placed in front of Lin Chi, he subconsciously stretched out his hands to hold it, but due to the speed, even the shopkeeper's hand was caught in his palm before he could withdraw it.
At that moment, Lin Chi's heart was filled with joy. As a senior VIP of the Appearance Association and the Hand Control Association, although there was always a beauty like Yun Jing Huaiyin by his side, he still couldn't stop him from seeing a beauty who poked his cute spot in all directions. I was very excited.
If it weren't for the shopkeeper still in front of him, Lin Chi would have rolled around holding the water glass for a few times.
But in reality, he obediently let go of the shopkeeper's hand.The shopkeeper didn't mind either, he put down the cup and returned to its original position.
At this moment, the little brother in the kitchen finally served Yangchun noodles.
Lin Chi didn't have much appetite, but he couldn't live up to his desire to cook for him in the middle of the night, so he stuffed a few bites into his mouth, and the result was delicious beyond his expectation, and he ate half a bowl without knowing it.And Danqing also came back at this time.
Her body was stained with blood, and she casually grabbed the towel handed over by her younger brother to wipe off the blood stains on her face. She showed Lin Chi a gentle smile: "The trouble outside the door has been resolved, and the guests can completely not worried."
Lin Chi was stunned for a moment, he looked at the blood on Danqing's face, and panicked in his heart: "Thank you..."
He looked down at the noodles in the bowl, unable to eat any more, he gritted his teeth and asked again: "Can I ask, what did you do to them?"
Danqing smiled and wiped his neck at him, and Lin Chi's face turned pale instantly.
"Wait! They're just cursed! They're still human in essence! Just kill them like that...that's all..."
"But if you are caught up, you will be the one to die." Dan Qing stretched out his hands to wrap around the hair hanging down his chest, with a playful expression on his face.
"But...but..."
"Pfft." Danqing smiled, "Do you believe everything I say?"
"Huh?" Lin Chi was stunned for a moment, obviously not realizing that it was just a joke.
"Although I killed them now, they are not dead."
"What does it mean?"
Danqing ignored him, just smiled and said to the owner: "Boss, we are going to close. Cleaning is not suitable for you at all, just leave it to me and Ya. But this guest, please send me It's a ride."
"Huh?" Lin Chi stood up all of a sudden, looked at the smiling Danqing blankly, and found that the shopkeeper actually got up and walked past him.
Lin Chi glanced back at Danqing, the girl pointed to the shopkeeper and motioned him to follow, until he caught up with the shopkeeper, Lin Chi was still in a daze.
"Where do you live?" the beauty shopkeeper asked.
"Cloud Tower."
Hearing this, the shopkeeper gave him a surprised look, but he didn't say anything dangerous about Yunlou.
The two walked in silence for a while, and Lin Chi finally couldn't help asking about something he had always cared about.
"Well, what does Danqing mean when she said that she killed my classmates, but they didn't die?"
"As long as the curse on those people is not broken, even if you chop them into a pulp, they will wake up intact the next day."
"Who are you guys? Why do you know..."
"I'm from the Lou family."
"Loujia?"
The Lou family is an aristocratic family that maintains the order of the dark world and has been passed down for hundreds of years.But the shopkeeper didn't know how to explain to Lin Chi, and didn't think what to explain, so he remained silent.
"Heavenly Master. Oh, oh, it's a high-end and high-end profession!" Lin Chi sighed, then patted the shopkeeper on the shoulder, "I know, this profession is very good and powerful, I won't tell you Take it easy" expression.
"..." The man raised his pretty eyebrows, feeling a little helpless at Lin Chi's lack of focus.But Lin Chi didn't seem to care at all: "Then you came here for this matter? Can you help my classmate break the curse?"
"No, I just happened to meet you who was hunted down."
"Then will you help us with this?"
"will not."
"why?"
"No reason." Due to the existence of Yunlou, City K has become the most difficult bone in the southwest region.The huge amount of Yin Qi nourished countless ghosts and ghosts. As the strongest fighting force in the new generation of the Lou family, the man was mercilessly thrown by his family to guard K City.
But as the maintainer of the order of the dark world, what he has to do is not to kill all monsters that are harmful to humans, but to wipe out creatures whose behavior exceeds the allowable range of the law of the dark world, whether they are humans or ghosts.
Hearing his refusal, although Lin Chi was disappointed, he didn't force it.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at Yunlou, Lin Chi hesitated for a moment. He didn't know if he and the beautiful shopkeeper would have a chance to get along like this again, but he didn't even know the name of the savior. After hesitating for a few seconds, Lin Chiguo disconnected. mouthed:
"My name is Lin Chi. How about you?"
"..."
"Thank you for helping me today. In fact, those who were chasing me just now are my classmates..." Lin Chi was not discouraged when he didn't get an answer from the man, and continued talking on his own until the man felt helpless. interrupted him.
"Lou Qi."
"They became like this...ah, what did you just say?" Lin Chi tilted his head and looked at the man, his face turned red from over-stress, his whole head was huddled in the hoodie, looking like a harmless little animal .Looking at his innocent appearance, Lou Qi repeated helplessly: "Lou Qi, my name."
"Lou Qi?...a nice name!" The little animal raised a bright smile, unaware that the person he covets really wants to touch his head at this moment.
"Thank you."
Lin Chi stood in front of Yunlou and said goodbye to Lou Qi. He turned his head after a few steps, and Lou Qi watched him off from the door.Lin Chi was a little embarrassed at once, waved his hand at Lou Qi, and rushed into the hall in a few steps, the door slowly closed behind him, blocking everything.
It was already very late, Lin Chi patted his head and took Lou Qi's beautiful face out of his mind, then went upstairs to explain to Huaiyin why he came back so late today.
Lou Qi stood outside the Yunlou, half-closed his eyes and stared at the culprit who made him station in K City.At this moment, a dark wind suddenly blew up, and the terrifying Yin Qi hovered in the courtyard of Yunlou, twisting into a human shape.When the wind cleared, a woman in cheongsam appeared in front of Lou Qi. She bent down and rushed towards Lou Qi.
Lou Qi understood that the woman was thanking him for escorting Lin Chi back today, but this gesture was a warning.He didn't want to conflict with Yunlou for the time being, so he turned back on the spot.After walking for a while, he suddenly turned his head and found that the light in Yunlou had been on all the time, and it went out at some point...
