There was a knock on the door. After a while, the sound of slippers approaching came from the door, and a female voice asked cautiously: "Who?"
Yu Xing let himself ignore the rancid odor that hit his face, and said in a normal and polite voice: "Excuse me, is this the guide Gao Yiling? We are tourists who just arrived in the town today, are you in charge?"
As soon as they heard this topic, the people inside seemed to relax. The door was opened a crack, revealing the face of the girl who was arguing with someone downstairs just now.
The girl was still a little worried. She froze for a while, and then she let go after confirming that the people outside were not evil-looking. "Yes... I should be responsible. I'm sorry, I delayed your play because of personal matters."
"I have always been the only guide leading this group in Nanshui Town. The travel agency can't replace you. It's all my fault..."
"It's okay, we also saw what you did downstairs." Yu Xing smiled at Gao Yiling, who was only as high as his chest, "Because it's a bit strange, so we thought of coming up to have a look."
Gao Yiling's eyes were dim. She naturally understood what "a little strange" meant.
With the situation in her family, she almost didn't know what to do.
"Lingling, who is here?"
Suddenly, a weak voice came from the room. Gao Yiling suddenly came back to his senses, turned around and said loudly: "Dad, it's okay, my visitor is here, you can sleep in your bed."
Is there really anyone?
Yu Xing's eyes flashed, and he turned his body sideways without any trace, giving a wider field of view to the nightmare beside him.
He could see the living room behind Gao Yiling. The living room had a simple style. Many of the furniture were made of wood and had no decoration. The sofa was leaning against the wall and there was no one on it.
"Since you are a guest, let's invite him in and sit at home. Stand at the door...cough cough cough cough..." After an earth-shattering cough, the voice continued, "What does it look like?"
"Oh, yes, yes!" Gao Yiling then remembered to invite people into the room. She smiled apologetically, "Come in and have a rest. I remember that the gathering time I informed you was three o'clock in the afternoon. Here
I still have something to be busy with before, but you can come to my house to sit and rest for a while, it is warmer at home than outside."
The three of them were put into the room. To be honest, the room was no warmer than outside.
But Gao Yiling was wearing an apparently thin top with a skirt underneath. In a town where many people froze to death, her presence was really intrusive.
Yu Xing sat on the sofa and lowered his eyes at the coffee table in front of him.
The wooden coffee table is not very clean. There is some oil stains remaining on the surface. In addition, there are large and small holes. No matter how you look at it, it is no longer suitable for continued use.
Hua Subai and Yan sat beside him, one on the left and one on the right. They were very conscious of guests and did not touch things casually.
Gao Yiling brought over a teapot and a few cups, and said, "If you want to drink water, you can pour it yourself. I have to take care of my dad, so I'll excuse you for a moment."
With that said, she turned around and walked towards the bedroom.
She opened the bedroom door and closed it again. Due to the angle, Yu Xing and others were not able to see clearly what was going on inside at that moment.
"...Strange." Nightmare whispered, "Although her father made a noise, it doesn't smell like it can accommodate a living person. I'm still more inclined to think that her father is dead."
How do dead people talk?
Coincidentally, what deducers see most is dead people talking, talking in different ways.
"Haha, the whole room is full of dead energy. I advise you not to drink this water." Hua Subai pushed the teapot away in disgust and wiped his hands again.
[The current main mission has been completed]
The system suddenly popped up, and this time Yu Xing heard the cold mechanical sound again.
However, after the completion notification appeared, no new tasks were given.
"It seems that the new mission will be triggered after three o'clock in the afternoon. Before that, it is more worthwhile to go to the town. Maybe you can encounter side missions." Xiang thought thoughtfully, "But the guide is also very interesting.
Do you care?"
Yu Xing straightened the folds of his clothes, held up the painting tube he carried with him, and thought for a moment: "Although the weird places in this room are obvious, I don't feel any malice. In this case, I want to see the bedroom more.
situation."
It was the "father" who asked Gao Yiling to invite them in. If there was no malice, then why?
Nightmare suddenly thought of something: "Leave it to me to see!"
Yu Xing looked at her.
"I'm a woman. It's easier for me to gain trust than you in this situation. Just wait!" Xiang stood up confidently and went directly to the bedroom door and knocked.
"Guide, it's embarrassing for us to sit here. In fact, I worked as a caregiver. Is there anything I can do to help?"
After a while, Gao Yiling opened the door in surprise, holding a wet towel in his hand: "Have you ever been a nurse?"
She looked at Miss Langwei's cool appearance: "...I really didn't expect that."
"Of course you have to dress up according to your mood when you go out to play. I didn't do that when I was a caregiver." Xiang shrugged, her eyes starting to drift behind Gao Yiling, "Let me help you."
The bedroom was not large, and the bed was empty, but there was a rather heavy wardrobe next to the door, blocking the corner farthest from the door.
She saw two thermos bottles placed over there, as well as a washbasin, and hot steam was rising from the basin.
It must be there!
Damn it, if she could only take two more steps inside, she would be able to see that blind spot.
She was already prepared to be rejected by Gao Yiling. She just used this method to win the opportunity to take a look into the bedroom, but she happened to be unable to see it, which made her somewhat unwilling.
As a result, Gao Yiling's eyes lit up: "Thank you so much. I always feel that I don't take good care of myself. Please come and teach me how to take care of patients."
As he said that, he held Yan's hand affectionately and walked inside.
At this moment, Nightmare had an unpleasant feeling, as if she was a prey that had fallen into a trap. She quickly turned around, trying to wink at Xing.
However, at this moment, she was struck by inspiration. The entire living room was like a peeling photo. There were spots of mildew on the walls. The floor was filthy, with pus covering it deeply and shallowly. The sofa where Yu Xing and Boss Hua sat on
Wriggling insects crawled out of the floor, and the coffee table was occupied by dense maggots.
There was a maggot lying on the mouth of the teapot, twisting and turning, and then fell in the next second.
"Holy shit!" Xiang blurted out a curse word, and her stomach churns, especially when she saw Yu Xing and Boss Hua sitting peacefully as if they were unaware.
This time she did not actively use her ability to see. Instead, when she entered the bedroom, her ability was affected by the changing magnetic field, and she passively perceived the appearance of this space.
Gao Yiling didn't seem to hear her angry swear words, but still pulled her through the door. She struggled subconsciously, but found that Gao Yiling was so strong.
Generally, this kind of huge strength that does not match the appearance is exclusive to ghosts...
A towel was stuffed into Yan's hand, and Gao Yiling immediately closed the bedroom door.
The girl's smile became more sincere: "Please?"
Outside the door, Hua Subai sat up straighter.
"Did she look at us just now?" Yu Xing raised his eyebrows.
The eyes that were originally intended as a warning, but suddenly turned into shock and disgust, clearly saw something different.
He glanced behind him and saw that there was only a bare white wall behind the sofa.
It seems like there is nothing worth being embarrassed about.
