When Sang Qi followed Fang Xun out, it was already approaching dusk outside. Ren Zhe, a man with blue hair, was sitting on the steps with his back to the two people, staring at the ground with his chin in boredom, as if thinking about something.
When Fang Xun next to him saw Ren Zhe, he subconsciously straightened his hair, put his hands behind his back, walked behind Ren Zhe, reached out and covered his eyes.
"Hey, guess who I am?"
Ren Zhe seemed to sigh, and he pulled Fang Xun's hand down, "Are you childish?"
He stood up from the steps, spat out the dog's tail grass in his mouth, rubbed his neck and looked to the side, only to realize that there was a little girl standing behind Fang Xun.
Her attire was simple, her hair hung down naturally, her eyes were big and bright, and her skin looked too fair against the setting sun. She seemed to be distracted and realized someone was looking at her, so she subconsciously smiled.
He's not very old and doesn't show any aggression. He looks like a cotton dumpling.
Ren Zhe looked away, "Is this the person you said you would take with you?"
The two people obviously had other ways of contacting each other, and Fang Xun must have discussed it with Ren Zhe before taking her with him.
Fang Xun nodded, "This is my roommate, Sang Qi. She is very well-behaved and won't disturb you."
Sang Qi didn't know why, so he cooperated and smiled obediently.
Ren Zhe glanced over with some scrutiny, then he grabbed his hair and looked away as if he was not interested: "You can take her with you if you want. I won't care about her if she is in danger."
Fang Xun had a smile on his face: "Don't worry, I won't trouble you."
Sang Qi acted like a pendant obediently and followed behind the two people. Her eyes fell on Fang Xun without leaving any trace.
Listening to the conversation between the two people just now, it was revealed that Fang Xun was determined to take her with him.
But why? She has no connection with this person, so even if they become temporary roommates, there is no need to take her with him.
Sang Qi rubbed his chin. Could it be that this Fang Xun was really that Fang Ming's sister? He knew that her sister had suffered at his hands, so he came to fend for her sister?
When she frowned and thought, Ren Zhe stood next to her at some point.
The boy's blue hair was particularly eye-catching. When he shook his head gently, the large earrings on his ears jingled. He glanced sideways at Sang Qi and asked in a calm tone: "How old are you?"
Sang Qi glanced at him, a little unsure of Ren Zhe's thoughts, and she said truthfully: "19."
"So you're an adult." Ren Zhe thought for two seconds, raised his hand and gestured, "You look very short."
Sang Qi: "?"
Fang Xun turned around and spread his hands as if helplessly: "Azhe, you still call me naive, but you yourself are just like a child who has not grown up. Are you naive?"
Ren Zhe shrugged, noncommittal.
While several people were talking, they walked to where the Taoist priest was. The sky outside was already dark.
"It's getting dark, we have to find the Taoist priest in black as soon as possible." Ren Zhe calmed down his usual careless expression, "Otherwise, the first rule will be triggered."
[1. Please do not leave the room after late at night. No one will knock on your door at night. If so, please lie down on the bed immediately and close your eyes and pretend to sleep. 】
Sang Qi thought for a while, "I just said that I couldn't leave the room, but I didn't mention the consequences of leaving the room."
Fang Xun looked back at her, "You haven't entered the game a few times, right?"
Ren Zhe also added: "There are two very important regulations for rules-based ghost stories. One is to identify the correct rules and abide by them, and the other is not to disobey the rules, otherwise the end result is death by default."
Is death the default?
Sang Qi tilted his head indifferently and nodded obediently.
But I was thinking in my heart.
How to define the degree of death? Loss of breathing or heartbeat?
Or disappear in front of everyone?
Is it possible...to borrow some rules to achieve the goal?
It was getting dark outside, and there were no lights on inside the house, so I couldn't see clearly what was inside.
"Don't you think the darkness of this room is a bit too strange?" In the darkness, Fang Xun frowned: "Should the room be so dark in the evening?"
Ren Zhe didn't speak. He seemed to be rummaging for something. When he spoke again, his voice seemed to come from a far away place: "Where are the Taoist priests in black clothes?"
"If we can't find it again, it will be dark." Sang Qi looked at the hazy sky outside the window.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the doorway.
Fang Xun tensed up and looked over nervously.
Sang Qi raised his eyes, seemingly a little surprised: "Chen Shen?"
The visitor was none other than Chen Shen. He was wearing a simple short-sleeved shirt, and the patterns exposed on his neck were faintly glowing in the darkness. These patterns seemed to be alive, wandering around the young man's body.
Chen sighed deeply: "I'm coming to find you."
He was out of sight for a moment, and Sang Qi ran away without a trace.
Fang Xun asked: "Your friend?"
Sang Qi responded and walked to Chen Shen, "We want to investigate at night. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we want to find the Taoist priest in black clothes first to report according to the rules."
Chen Shen understood. His eyes were so bright in the dark night, and there was something weird and eerie about him.
He pointed forward, "Isn't the Taoist priest in black clothes right there?"
Almost as soon as Chen Shen finished speaking, the surrounding area suddenly brightened up, and an old Taoist priest with a white beard in black clothes appeared in front of several people, with a kind look on his face.
Ren Zhe looked at Chen Shen and said, "Are they inlaid props? It's kind of interesting."
Chen Shen's Gu Insect tattoo almost covers his whole body, giving him the same vision and hearing as a Gu Insect for a short period of time.
Excellent scout.
Fang Xun stepped forward and explained his purpose to the Taoist priest in black clothes.
Chen Shen bent down slightly and leaned into Sang Qi's ear, "Why didn't you turn on the light?"
According to his understanding of Sang Qi, when she saw such a dark environment, her first reaction should be to turn on a bright flashlight or something.
She has always been so reckless.
Sang Qi shook his head gently, "When the room is dark, there are ghosts here."
The jade pendant she got was always hot.
If you use bright things to illuminate the surroundings at that time, I'm afraid the ghosts will pounce on you.
Fang Xun and Ren Zhe, two high-level players, did not act rashly, fearing that they sensed something.
"I didn't think carefully." Chen Shen thought for a while.
He regarded Sang Qi as a reckless martial artist, but he forgot that she had a more delicate mind, but it was hidden under her reckless style of doing things.
Different situations require different approaches.
The Taoist priest in black clothes looked at them, stroking his beard and still smiling very kindly: "Are you five going out?"
Several people looked at each other for a moment.
There are obviously only four of them, so where did the fifth person come from?
