Chapter 35 Repair
"I must have been bewitched by a ghost last night, that's why I couldn't see anything." Yan Xun added another explanation for his feigned blindness last night.
Gui Yuchong watched him act, unsure whether he believed it or not, but when Yan Xun reached out to him, he still showed a similar expression of fear as before, "So that's how it is."
"I'm so scared..."
"This is the first time I've ever encountered a ghost wall."
Gui Yuchong's hands were very cold, as if they had just been taken out of the freezer.
He grabbed Yan Xun's wrist and said to her, "My hands are so cold."
Yan Xun looked at Gui Yuchong, who was holding his wrist, and said nothing. He simply put Gui Yuchong's hand, along with his own, into his coat pocket. "Go to 504," he said.
Gui Yuchong was calmed down by Yan Xun's actions.
He became gentle and harmless again, as if the monster who had tested him last night was just Yan Xun's illusion.
They had just left 508 when they bumped into Su Yumin and the others in the corridor. Shen Rui almost burst into tears when she saw Yan Xun.
"Boss, you're still alive!"
We thought you'd been carried off by a ghost!
Shen Rui slept until 7 o'clock. When she suddenly woke up, she found that Yan Xun and Gui Yuchong were nowhere to be seen in the room.
Li Wu and Su Yumin also looked unwell. When the three of them looked at each other, they realized that they had actually fallen asleep last night.
Experienced players like Li Wu and Su Yumin would never fall asleep under such dangerous circumstances. Coupled with the mysterious disappearance of Yan Xun and Gui Yuchong, the three of them immediately knew that something terrible had happened.
Fortunately, just after leaving room 504, they saw Yan Xun and his companion coming out of another room in the corridor.
Shen Rui was still unaware that there was an extra player among them, assuming that Yan Xun and Gui Yuchong were both victims. Therefore, upon seeing the two, he immediately rushed over.
"It's nothing." Yan Xun repeated what he had said that morning.
"We just got lost in a maze." He glanced at Gui Yuchong standing next to him out of the corner of his eye. "So we stayed in room 508 for one night."
"Nothing strange happened."
He yawned as he spoke, looking like he hadn't slept well, and the dark circles under his eyes looked even more pronounced.
"Meet at 11:01 later."
"Gui Yuchong and I will go back first to see if the house can be repaired."
Yan Xun waved to the three of them as he spoke, "Go charge your phone while you're at it..."
As the two left the corridor, Gui Yuchong suddenly turned back to look at Li Wu and the others, saying, "See you later."
He nodded to the three of them.
For some reason, Shen Rui shivered inexplicably... He turned to look at Su Yumin and Li Wu and found that their expressions were not very good.
Gui Yuchong already knew that the clues to his hiding place in bedroom 508 had been found. Li Wu thought that since the other party had hidden so casually, he must have been expected to hide for a long time from the beginning.
Judging from Gui Yuchong's behavior in room 504, Li Wu felt that the other party should have known about this matter long ago. The reason for going to confirm it was simply to find out where the clues in the wardrobe had gone.
“Yan Xun hid that thing,” Li Wu said.
“Such a big thing is not easy to hide,” Su Yumin said.
"really."
Although Li Wu hadn't asked Yan Xun what clues he had found, he could guess what they were from the way the clothes were arranged in the wardrobe and Yan Xun's very confident attitude.
Especially... Li Wu recalled the things the other person had thrown down while fleeing down the corridor. Although they were quite far away, he could still make out the outline of a human.
He guessed that it was most likely Gui Yuchong's real body.
"What kind of riddles are you two playing?" Shen Rui was completely baffled by their riddle.
Su Yumin glanced at Shen Rui but didn't offer any explanation.
Li Wu hesitated for a moment. He felt that Shen Rui's acting skills were not that good and was worried that the other party would expose himself when facing Gui Yuchong. So he changed his words, "That security guard named Chi Yuan can also provide us with some help."
……
The door to room 404 was wide open.
Yan Xun also saw bloodstains on the ground and an overturned sofa.
"...So bad?" Before he arrived, he was worried that Gui Yuchong was just making things up, but when he got there, he found that it really looked like they had gone through a fierce battle.
He was still puzzled when he saw the bloodstains on the ground.
Does Gui Yuchong seem to have forgotten their "pseudo-human" nature? Forgot that they are creatures that do not bleed?
"The blood on the ground... could it be from those monsters?" Yan Xun pretended to analyze. "It seems that not everyone in this building is a fake human."
Yan Xun was too lazy to change his shoes. The floor was a complete mess, with not only obvious inhuman footprints but also fresh leather shoe prints that disappeared into the kitchen from the living room.
The kitchen door was open at this time.
The two pots that were originally in the kitchen have disappeared.
Could it be that these imposters also like to steal pots in the middle of the night?! Yan Xun was puzzled, unable to understand under what circumstances the two pots in the kitchen could disappear.
"What's wrong?" Gui Yuchong noticed that Yan Xun was standing at the kitchen door without moving, so he walked over with some concern.
"The pots are gone." Yan Xun pointed to the countertop where the two pots used to be. With the two pots gone, the countertop was much cleaner.
"Does a fake person like to steal pots?" Yan Xun muttered.
After listening to Yan Xun's mutterings, Gui Yuchong remained silent for a few seconds, which was unusual for him.
“What a strange fake person,” Gui Yuchong echoed.
"I wonder if there's any repair service..." Yan Xun said, looking at the 404 error messages that had been cleared of him. He paused for a moment, then went back to his bedroom, found the charger, and started charging his phone.
Once the phone was turned on, he immediately called Shen Rui.
……
The old man from the management office looked at Shen Rui, who was standing in front of him, his face red with anger, and asked, "You said the door to room 908 was smashed?"
“The one in 404 too!” Shen Rui said, pointing at Gui Yuchong. “His is in 404. The floor is covered with footprints and shoe prints. They look like either ghosts or people.” Shen Rui then gestured for Gui Yuchong to speak, “I don’t care, you have to find a way to fix the door.”
"Otherwise, we'll all die tonight!"
The old man looked at Shen Rui and Gui Yuchong with an ambiguous expression, "Looks like you two are lucky."
"We weren't caught by the fake man last night."
“That’s because we’re lucky! We found kind people who were willing to take us in,” Shen Rui continued, pointing at Gui Yuchong. “Look at him, he’s so scared he can’t even speak.”
Upon hearing this, Gui Yuchong promptly revealed a terrified expression, as if he had temporarily lost the ability to speak due to excessive fear.
This was also the task that Yan Xun had just assigned to the two of them this morning.
Yan Xun told Shen Rui not to make excuses, because there was a ready-made one right there.
Gui Yuchong was sent over to be his opera partner, and he had to do his best to stall the old man from the management office.
