When Yu Xing walked to the bathroom on the red cashmere carpet, she saw two men standing at the door discussing.
It's Yi and Han Zhiyong.
Yi tried to ask Han Zhiyong if they wanted to take a shower together, but Han Zhiyong refused.
Apart from these two people, the two girls Han Xinyi and Huang Bai were not here, and neither was Bai Mian.
No one was wearing a mask at this moment, and the straps behind the masks were tied around their waists.
Yu Xing could see that the two people seemed to have varying degrees of scratches on their bodies, and their faces were also stained. They probably encountered ghosts, but they didn't know which one was screaming upstairs.
In short, they seemed to be less anxious. They probably finally understood the dangers of occupying the room and calmed down.
When Han Zhiyong saw Yu Xing coming, he immediately stopped discussing anything and instead closed his mouth and gave him a provocative look.
Yu Xing: "..."
Oh, stare at me?
Yu Xing smiled back at Han Zhiyong.
Although Han Zhiyong had just rejected Yi, he did not intend to leave after Yu Xing, Zeng Lai and Huai arrived. Everyone wanted to take a shower early and then occupy the room with peace of mind. It was better than occupying the room while worrying about whether
Some unexpected situation occurred and it was too late to enter the bathroom during bathing time.
Alice doesn't like others being late. She has been reminded of this many times by the nun and the housekeeper in just a few hours. Obviously, this condition must be adhered to, otherwise the price may be terrible.
"Hey, you are all here."
The next moment, two girls came over.
Huang Bai and Han Xinyi didn't know when they bumped into each other, so they came over together. She looked at the men blocking the door strangely, and then waved her hands: "I don't know what you are doing, but anyway... come on?"
Huai: "Come on?"
Zeng Lai: “What oil should I add??”
Yu Xing said: "Come on, too."
Huang Bai happily walked into the women's bathroom. Han Xinyi pursed her lips, raised her eyes at Yu Xing, and followed her in. Zeng Lai then turned around and asked Yu Xing confusedly: "What oil should I add?"
Yu Xing didn't know either, he didn't get the absurd brain circuit, he just responded casually.
He spread his hands: "It's not important, let's go in."
Huai said nothing and raised his legs first, as if he didn't want to make a fuss like Zeng Lai.
After several people followed him in, Han Zhiyong, who had just refused, frowned.
Forget it, let's stay together.
The slap in the face always comes so quickly.
Everyone had checked the bathroom before, but it was not bath time and there was nothing there.
This time they went in, and the bathtub in the center of the bathroom was filled with water. Steam was rising upwards, and the water mist filled the air, fogging up the mirrors mounted on the walls.
The light of various colored gems refracted in the water, making the water surface look strange. It felt like a witch mixed the potions together and made a pot of poisonous soup.
Huai passed the large bath and walked towards the individual wooden bathtubs surrounding the bath: "I use the bathtub here..."
I got stuck mid-sentence.
Yu Xing also walked towards a bathtub at this time, and then his eyes were bright red.
The bathtub that was empty before is now filled with blood!
You don't feel it when you are far away, but when you get closer, you can smell the unique smell of blood lingering on the tip of your nose.
An unsettling feeling spread.
Zeng Lai paused: "Do you still need it?"
Huai: "...No."
Yu Xing silently stopped her legs and walked towards the bath with a dull face.
What does it mean when blood appears in the bathroom tub during their allotted time?
I don't know, no one knows.
They subconsciously stayed away from the bathtub. They looked around and asked, "What should we do? Just wash like this? Where are the changes of clothes?"
"Go to the closet and have a look." Yu Xing said.
He remembered that there were eight locked wardrobes. Now that the time was up, maybe they could be opened.
Sure enough, when several people walked to the closet, they were able to open the cabinets that could not be opened before. There was a label on the cabinet door.
"Please put the changed clothes into the closet. The new clothes will be automatically put into the closet after everyone has finished bathing."
The title of each person is also written below the reminder, and the eight wardrobes correspond one to one.
At this moment, Bai Mian also came in. A man came to Jinqian quietly, with a frighteningly low presence.
Huai found his wardrobe and said calmly: "Okay, there is no real danger for the time being. Let's wash up and leave early."
After saying that, he took off his shirt.
He is a little thinner than he looks, a bit emaciated, and does not seem to be the kind of deduction that depends on his physical skills.
Yu Xing also opened the cabinet and took a look. There was a white bath towel hanging in the cabinet and there was a grid on the upper level.
There were all men present, and Yu Xing was not too scrupulous. He took off his clothes in a few seconds, wrapped the towel around his waist, covering his important parts, and then dug into the pockets of his trousers.
A piece of wire...
A lock...
A utility knife…
A small mirror...
These were all things he had found in the utility room on the second floor. Now that he had entered the utility room, there was no reason not to grab something.
He put the things in the grid, and then he glanced at the mirror again, but he didn't see his "good friend" in the mirror.
So far, nothing unusual except for the bathtub.
Several people got out of the bath one after another. Although the bath was dimly lit, the effect of relieving fatigue was immediate.
The hot water wrapped around the skin, and Yu Xing breathed out lightly.
His constitution gave him a natural affinity for warm things. Warm things were always better than coldness, better than the coldness and curse that flowed through his limbs and were carved into his bones.
Several people fell silent and immersed themselves in the short-term comfort.
It lasted like this for about two or three minutes.
In the silence, Zeng Lai couldn't help it.
Taking a bath is a relaxing thing, especially if you are a strong person, you won't feel so nervous, and you will want to talk to others as soon as you relax.
He glanced beside him, Huai's curly hair was dampened by the moisture, and he was closing his eyes not knowing what he was thinking, while Xing frowned slightly, seeming a little uneasy.
Zeng Lai's eyes lit up and he found the topic. He asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with you?"
Yu Xing: "...It's okay."
Pushing her hair back from her forehead with her hands, Yu Xing closed her eyes and silently counted the time in her heart.
Zeng Lai refused to give up: "You don't look good."
Yu Xing sighed. When he felt that he should not have a rosy complexion, he replied: "Anemia."
Yes, he was calculating how long he would take to soak in the bath. Due to his physical condition, he couldn't soak in the bath for too long, otherwise he would faint directly.
Alas... people's joys and sorrows are not the same.
When he said this, Huai opened his eyes with some surprise, glanced at him, and interjected: "I thought you were one of those whose abilities are related to ghosts... I didn't expect it to be a physical reason."
Han Zhiyong, Yi and Bai Mian also looked over. They originally wanted to see how bad Yu Xing's face was, but after taking a look, they found that there was only one realization that was magnifying at a glance, and that was -
This guy looks really capable of causing trouble.
So the three of them looked away angrily.
As for the complexion, I feel that Xing has always been pale, so it doesn’t matter.
After a while, he said hysterically: "Well, should we integrate the current ghost information? After all, ghosts are our common enemies. In order to survive, it is better to temporarily..."
Han Zhiyong interrupted him: "No."
"But……"
"Don't forget, it's not just ghosts who are enemies, we are enemies as well." Han Zhiyong sneered, "As long as we have a conflict of interest and the death of others is beneficial to us, then it will be impossible to cooperate."
Zeng Lai also said: "Look, if some people don't want to cooperate, let's pull them down. In the deduction of eight people, it is unrealistic for everyone to cooperate. You just have to pay attention."
Wow…
Yu Xing held up his hand and sat on the edge of the bathtub. He picked up the folded white towel and put it on his naked upper body. He did not participate in the topic of cooperation or not and just said: "I won't take a bath anymore."
Not participating was actually a statement. He sighed and had no choice but to give up.
Yu Xing wiped it with a towel for a while, walked to his cabinet, opened the cabinet door, and took out the change of clothes prepared for him by Alice Castle.
How should I evaluate it... In addition to the necessary clothes, Alice also prepared a new set of clothes for them with "Alice's Hell Tour" printed on them.
The clothes were placed in the upper compartment. The old clothes were actually gone, but the things he took from the utility room were still there. Yu Xing put them on in a hurry and looked up at the cabinet in front of him that could accommodate one person.
space.
A few empty clothes hangers hung alone on the wooden poles, which did not affect the volume of the space at all. He raised his eyebrows slightly, always feeling that in a scary environment, having such a cabinet looked like an indispensable presence in some horror games.
The flashlight is my father and the cabinet is my mother.
Yu Xing had an intuition that it would come in handy...
Speaking of which, after leaving the bath, he realized that the air in the bathroom was not actually stuffy, but rather faintly cold, which gradually made his head, which was somewhat groggy due to being in the hot water, sober up.
The temperature doesn't seem right.
"ah!!"
Just as I was thinking, a scream suddenly came from the women's bathroom next door. The sound sounded ridiculous.
Everyone was stunned, and Yu Xing even felt for a moment that Han Xinyi had taken action against Huang Bai.
A few seconds later, Huang Bai shouted again: "Sophora japonica!!! It's passed, hide quickly!"
Her words only reminded Huai, but it didn't matter. The faces of the deducers in the men's bath changed.
What's coming?
Where to hide?
"Wow--"
After a few sounds of water, they stood up one after another. They had no time to change their clothes, so they could only hold white towels and lay them casually, looking at the entrance to the bathroom as if they were in danger.
Huangbai was still shouting: "You can't be seen by its eyes. It can't sense human breath. It only relies on vision. Hide quickly!"
Can't be seen? Is it a regular ghost?
Everyone looked around and happened to see Yu Xing in front of the cabinet, and naturally also saw the space in the cabinet.
Yi's eyes lit up: "Hide in the closet! Wait until this thing is gone!"
Zeng Lai said: "Okay, hurry up!"
Yu Xing watched them all run to their respective cabinets, frowned, and took out a small thing from the shelf above the cabinet. Then instead of entering the cabinet, he reached out and grabbed the towel around Zeng Lai's waist.
Zeng Lai braked suddenly, grabbed the towel to prevent it from falling, and gave Yu Xing a big question mark with his eyes.
Yu Xing said softly: "Do you remember the blood stains we saw in other cabinets before? Do you think...where did the blood come from?"
Zeng Lai was startled, and then his pupils shrank.
"Damn, I almost got cheated."
He quickly caught Sophora japonica with quick hands and eyes: "Wait, don't go in - let's hide somewhere else, don't go into the cabinet!"
At the same time, a shrill ghost roar came from outside, going from far to near very quickly, making people's hair stand on end.
As soon as Huai Lue hesitated, he was dragged away by the strong Zeng Lai. He thought that Zeng Lai didn't need to harm him at this time, so he followed him.
——This is probably the advantage of the gambler Zeng Lai as a star actor on the right path. In critical moments, no one with good connections will suspect him of having bad intentions.
Zeng Lai had a loud voice. If Yu Xing's words were only heard by Zeng Lai, then Zeng Lai's words were heard by everyone. They all put their hands on the cabinet door. After thinking about it, they actually didn't enter the cabinet obediently.
The bathroom is only so big in total. Apart from the wardrobe, the only thing that can block the view is the bathtubs filled with blood.
It's not that you have to sink your whole body - if you do this, it's not certain whether something else will be triggered.
Simply put, the bathtub is large enough for an adult man to hide behind without being discovered.
Zeng Lai took Huai and squatted behind the bathtub, and found that Yi had also found a bathtub for cover alone without saying anything. Then when he looked up, he saw that Yu Xing was still in the cupboard!
At the door, in the steaming steam of the bathroom, a vague black figure had appeared, twisted and deformed, and it was undoubtedly a ghost.
Hey, what are these idiots waiting for?
He shouted urgently: "Xing, why don't you hide quickly!"
Yu Xing turned around, showed him a smile, and played with the things in his hands.
Neither Han Zhiyong nor Bai Mian listened to Zeng Lai's words, they got into the cabinet decisively and closed the door.
Bai Mian is taciturn and extremely unsociable. Yu Xing never heard him speak. But Han Zhiyong still wanted to enter the closet, probably out of some sense of distrust...
He is on the opposite side of Yu Xing. What if Yu Xing and others were prepared for the current situation and deliberately lured him away from a safe place?
With this mentality, Han Zhiyong hid in the cabinet, and the light was blocked, plunging him into darkness.
He was very familiar with this. It could be said that staying in the dark made him feel more secure.
However, the next moment, he heard a slight "click".
Then there was a dull sound as something hit the cabinet door.
Han Zhiyong was stunned for a moment, then pushed the door open.
I can't push it open... Damn, it's locked!
He narrowed his eyes and asked gloomily: "Who!"
The voice outside was darker than his, with a joking tone and a hint of frightening coolness: "Who else could it be?"
"Yu Xing! What the hell do you want to do!?" The ghost was nearby, and Han Zhiyong did not dare to speak too loudly, so he could only ask through gritted teeth,
Outside the closet, Yu Xing flipped the lock with his fingers. This was what he had just taken out from the miscellaneous items. A subtle arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Since you made the wrong choice and gave me a chance...then deal with it well."
