On the other hand, when Feng Bujue's group was exploring the mountain, Xiao Tan and Laughing Soul's search was progressing smoothly.
Actually, there was not much of a target, so they were quite relaxed. Even if they found nothing after a whole day, it could not be helped. That was how Thriller Paradise was. If they were lucky, perhaps they could find a piece of excellent equipment in an inconspicuous place, and the process of obtaining it was not that difficult. If they were not lucky, it was normal for them to find nothing after the whole scenario.
Their search began from the east side of the town. They searched room by room. Although most of the abandoned houses were empty, they could not rule out the possibility that there were props hidden in the dusty bottles, wooden boxes, and on the beams, under the floorboards, inside the walls, and even the tattered beds.
In any case, for a game like this, one had to explore it with the spirit of playing Zelda without reading the guide.
"Er … there is something I wish to ask you." When Xiao Tan asked Laughing Soul, he was lifting the lid of a large wooden pot on the stove. It was unclear what he expected to find inside the pot. Two silver coins?
"Fine, I don't have a boyfriend." Laughing Soul was rummaging through a cupboard that was filled with spider webs.
"Er … that's not what I wanted to ask you."
"Huh?" Laughing Soul did not even turn her head when she answered, like she was not paying attention. "Then what is it? Why would you use such a weird tone to ask me when we are alone? " She seemed to be reminded of something and added, "I'm warning you, I'm not a casual person!"
"What are you thinking?" Xiao Tan said. "I want to ask, is Xiao Ling Gu your real name?"
"Hmm? Yes, why? "
"Gu as in ancient times?"
"Yes, yes," Laughing Soul replied. "Xiao as in petty, Ling as in spirit." From the way she explained her name, one could see that she had a different personality.
"Hmm …" Xiao Tan frowned and looked like he was thinking.
Laughing Soul was still talking. "Laughing Soul's name is actually just an inverted name with a word before it. When you heard my cousin call me 'Little Bone', you should have guessed that my real name is pronounced 'Gu', right? If a girl's name has this word, it should be in her surname. It's nothing more than Gu, Gu, Gu. " She was nagging, but she still said in an impatient tone, "Ah … You're so stupid. Is your head just for decoration? Think more when you encounter problems … "
Xiao Tan didn't care about what she said. In fact, he was thinking about other things and didn't really listen.
"It's strange … There's an ancestral rule in my family that says … don't make friends with people with the surname Gu," Xiao Tan said.
"Huh?" Laughing Soul was stunned when she heard that. "Ha ha ha ha …" She suddenly laughed. "This is such a coincidence. My family has a rule as well. It says that for the descendants of the Gu family, as long as they have a friend with the surname Wang, there is no need to be courteous with them.
"I'm not kidding …" Xiao Tan said seriously.
"I'm not kidding either. I'm serious," Laughing Soul replied with a mocking smile.
"But Wang is a common surname," Xiao Tan said.
Laughing Soul reached out to knock lightly on Xiao Tan's head. "That's why … who would treat this kind of ancestral rule seriously? Idiot! "She had no intention of attacking, so she was not stopped by the system.
Xiao Tan shrugged. "You're right. It's probably because one of my ancestors had a grudge against the Gu family, and they did something stupid. That's why they left this … Aiya …" Before he finished, he was hit again. "What now?"
"You mean my ancestors also did something stupid?" Laughing Soul said with annoyance.
"Fine, just pretend I didn't say anything," Xiao Tan replied.
In order not to be hit again, he climbed onto the stove after saying that and leaped onto the beam of the roof. Now that he had mastered the basics of agility, this kind of height was nothing to him.
"By the way, since it's just the two of us, I have something to ask you," Laughing Soul said.
"I don't have a girlfriend," Xiao Tan replied. "Plus, I'm a very casual person!"
"Ha, ha, ha." Laughing Soul laughed drily as a response to this joke. Then she said, "Seriously, is the captain the kind of player who doesn't spend money when he plays games?"
"We don't play games that charge money. In any case, in the few games that we've interacted with, I've never seen him use in-game items." Xiao Tan crawled on the roof that was covered in dust. He knocked on the roof inch by inch, trying to check whether there was a hollow layer underneath. "But for games that require money, he would often buy a monthly or even a quarterly membership. It seems like he thinks it's too troublesome to recharge."
"Oh, in other words, it's not that he's stingy, but it depends on whether he wants to spend money on the game or not?" Laughing Soul asked.
"How should I put this … Brother Jue is a very complicated person. It's hard to tell what his' principles' are." Xiao Tan said. "It seems like whenever he realizes he's about to cross the line, he will set up a new boundary …"
"That sounds like … he's trying to break the limit," Laughing Soul said.
"Haha …" Xiao Tan chuckled.
Suddenly, with a cracking sound, the roof beam broke from the middle. This was probably caused by years of neglect, and the wood had rotted from the inside.
Xiao Tan was kneeling on the roof. When the beam broke, his face was facing downward, so his reaction was relatively quick. He adjusted his posture in the air easily. Before he landed, he changed into a standing position and landed on his feet.
Unexpectedly, when he came into contact with the floor of the house, he suddenly felt the soles of his feet soften, as if he had stepped on empty air. Then there was a series of creaking sounds. It was the sound of the floor collapsing.
It turned out that the kitchen floor of this empty house was less than half a meter thick. Below that, it was completely suspended in the air. Due to the passage of time, the wood had rotted, so it was natural for it to be weaker. When Xiao Tan and Laughing Soul were walking on it normally, the floor could handle their weight, but now that Xiao Tan was falling from the roof and was standing on the floor, the two broken beams carried a considerable weight. The floor could not handle the weight, and it collapsed.
Laughing Soul's first reaction was fast. She immediately reached out to grab Xiao Tan. In that split second, she grabbed the man's wrist tightly. However, she was a girl, and her weight was much lighter than Xiao Tan's. Furthermore, the collapse of the floor had affected the whole room. Laughing Soul's feet were not steady, so she had no place to grab onto.
Therefore, she also fell down together with him ….
The two fell into a dark abyss, and in that moment, they were several hundred feet down. They had no idea whether it was a mountain of swords or boulders. But from the distance they were falling, even if they hit the ground, they would not survive.
