"No matter how much I eat, I'm still hungry," Cheng Yue said uncomfortably.
"Me too."
His companions expressed their agreement.
"If you eat any more, you'll die from overeating." Si Yu ate as much as he usually did. After hearing their words, he elegantly wiped his mouth, propped up his chin with one hand, and lazily brought up yesterday's newspaper.
Hearing this, Cheng Yue stopped eating. His face was slightly pale. Obviously, he had understood the meaning of Si Yu's words.
"The homeless man didn't eat for five days and starved to death … Then we'll starve to death in five days?" Cheng Yue asked Si Yu with his left hand squeezing his right hand.
Si Yu said affirmatively, "Yes, I haven't thought of a way to solve it yet, so I need more clues. However, as this is a third world, this mission world shouldn't be too difficult. There must be a way to solve it." He propped up his chin with one hand, and light shone through the old, yellowed glass window onto his face. "Gu Ran, are you done eating? Let's go find the caretaker and ask for the newspaper. "
Gu Xizhou looked helpless. "Let's go. I'll feel hungry no matter how much I eat. There's no point in eating. "
"Let's go together!" Cheng Yue stood up and said.
The group walked left and right around the school and finally arrived at the dormitory. Because there was a sign at the door that said "Girls Are Not Allowed to Enter", no one knew if the two girls would suddenly die if they walked in. Fang Zhi and another boy stayed outside to look after the two girls.
Gu Xizhou entered the dormitory and successfully found the caretaker who had thrown away the trash yesterday. He asked him for yesterday's newspaper and took today's newspaper to read.
"Female textile worker in a factory was followed home and killed after work. Neighbor called police and the murderer was shot dead on the spot."
The content of the news was very simple and there were no pictures.
Cheng Yue read the news with a complicated expression. "Female lunatic died in a car accident, homeless starved to death, female textile worker was followed home and killed … Tonight …"
"Yes, there will be ghosts following us tonight," Si Yu said calmly.
"Ghosts … Ghosts following us?" This time, the one who spoke was Xiaoyue, who had narrowly escaped death yesterday because she stepped on her shoelaces. Her eyes were filled with fear, and her expression was even worse than when she saw the dead man yesterday.
Si Yu nodded coldly and continued to read the contents of the newspaper. Her expression was clearly not relaxed.
The crazy woman, the tramp, the textile worker, and Su Xiaomian … the four of them didn't seem to be related.
Most of the people who came out of Gu Xizhou turned pale.
If the murderer was killed on the spot after returning home, he would have already become a ghost. Tonight, they would be able to meet this ghost. Gu Xizhou's lips curled up slightly as he thought about it.
After leaving the dormitory, everyone was thinking about the relationship between the two, but they couldn't find any connection. They went to find Su Xiaomian again.
Gu Xizhou handed the homeless man's newspaper to Su Xiaomian and asked, "Do you know this man?"
Su Xiaomian read the content again. Just like yesterday, she said that she didn't know the homeless man.
Su Xiaomian still shook her head at the mention of the textile worker being followed and killed.
Gu Xizhou was silent for a while. He looked at Su Xiaomian. The woman had lost a lot of weight compared to a few days ago. Her face was pale and her mental state was dispirited.
After a day, they didn't find any special news. Everyone gathered in Gu Xizhou's dormitory. They seemed to be struggling with this world. They were given 12 days, but in reality, they only had 5 days.
They sat in Gu Xizhou's dormitory for a while. The sky outside gradually darkened. Everyone was tense and their faces were slightly pale.
"Did you hear that?" Cheng Yue's face was pale and she lowered her voice.
Fang Zhi looked around. At this time, everyone was sitting on the edge of their beds. No one was walking, but there were constant footsteps in the room. The sound was very soft, like the sound of a thief rummaging through someone's house.
"We heard it." Gu Xizhou nodded.
Most of the team looked like they were about to faint at any time. They looked around the room in panic.
Cheng Yue's voice was shaking. "It followed us back here."
"Yes." Si Yu looked around the room. Obviously, they couldn't see the ghost now. He seemed to be lost in some kind of thought.
"What should we do?" Xia Hang was shaking. "What should we do? Say something! "
For a moment, no one spoke. The atmosphere was heavy.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
"It's smiling … It's him!" Xia Hang was shaking like a cork. He looked at his companions carefully. At this time, no one was smiling. His emotions collapsed and he curled into a ball.
The rest of his companions were pale. Among them, Baek Dong-yang was so scared that he started to cry. Tears fell down his face.
Gu Xizhou said, "The two girls haven't cried, but you're a big man and you're crying?"
When Baek Dong-yang heard Gu Xizhou's words, he said with tears in his eyes, "I … I've never experienced something like this. It's my first time here …"
They were afraid. The more they cried, the louder the strange laughter became. Its footsteps became more and more frequent. It seemed to be walking back and forth in the middle of them, quietly waiting for the right moment.
"What's the use of crying?" Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "Think of something first."
Si Yu got up and walked outside. After he walked outside, he seemed to want to avoid the fear of everyone inside. After he walked outside, Gu Xizhou noticed that the ghost's footsteps appeared on the balcony.
Gu Xizhou followed and looked around. He didn't know why it hadn't appeared to kill anyone.
"It's right next to us."
"I heard it." Si Yu nodded. After he finished speaking, he rubbed his eyebrows. "It hasn't made a move yet. What does that mean?"
Gu Xizhou said, "Maybe it hasn't met the requirements to kill someone yet."
When Si Yu heard Gu Xizhou's words, he rolled his eyes. He seemed to have thought of something. Gu Xizhou glanced at him and followed him inside.
"Don't turn off the lights when you go back to your rooms. It should be fine then," Si Yu said.
"Don't turn off the lights?" Gu Xizhou asked as he searched for the ghost, "What kind of logic is that?"
Si Yu said calmly, "The contents of the newspaper mentioned that the female worker was killed by the murderer who hid in her house after she went home to sleep and turned off the lights."
"You even remember that?" It was easy to overlook the words "turning off the lights" when reading the newspaper.
Si Yu said calmly, "I memorized the contents of the newspaper when I read it. If I'm not wrong, as long as the lights aren't turned off, it can't kill anyone."
As soon as Si Yu finished speaking, the footsteps in the room stopped. Only the sound of an exasperated stomp could be heard.
It was this exasperated stomp that proved Si Yu's conjecture was correct.
Gu Xizhou: "…" This ghost's IQ is really low.
Because of this stupid ghost's stomp, the few people who had been hovering between life and death suddenly came back to life.
That night, Gu Xizhou, Si Yu, and Fang Zhi had just finished washing up and were about to go to bed when the ghost seemed to be at odds with them. It kept pacing back and forth in the room and even deliberately increased the volume of its footsteps.
Fang Zhi was still a little scared. His complexion didn't look too good as he silently wrapped himself in his small blanket. He was a little flustered and constantly stared at the light switch in the room.
He looked pitifully at Gu Xizhou and whispered, "Gu Ge, I'm scared."
Gu Xizhou pondered for a moment and said to Si Yu, "I'll share a bed with Fang Zhi today. Look at his little face, it's all white."
Si Yu, who was lying on the bed, thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay."
"Ga ga ga ga!"
"Ga ga ga!"
It let out a strange laughter in the room, but Si Yu didn't care at all. As for the source of the laughter beside the bed, he coldly snorted, "Ha."
Not long after, Gu Xizhou heard the sound of steady breathing coming from Si Yu's bed. Gu Xizhou felt that Si Yu's "ha" was a silent mockery of the "ghost" in the room. Simply translated, "Ha, I've played with so many ghosts. Do you think you can make me lose sleep just by pacing back and forth?"
Gu Xizhou heard another heavy stomp. It seemed that because of the rules of this world, the ghost couldn't come out to kill people without turning off the lights. It could only follow them. Even he couldn't find the ghost.
Gu Xizhou scolded, "Stop stomping your ass. If you keep pacing back and forth, I'll kill you!"
When the ghost in the room heard Gu Xizhou's words, it not only paced back and forth, but also circled in front of him and cackled, as if it was mocking him.
Gu Xizhou slept until midnight, but he couldn't fall asleep. After confirming that Si Yu wouldn't wake up, Gu Xizhou got out of bed and said to Fang Zhi, "I'm going to the toilet. Stay in bed and don't wander off."
Fang Zhi nodded pitifully, "Okay. Gu Ge, come back quickly!"
To go to the toilet, one had to walk to the balcony, and the room next door was only separated by a wall. The ghost followed closely behind Gu Xizhou. Its footsteps were very close.
"You've been following me. You have to follow me closely," Gu Xizhou said as he raised his eyebrows.
As if responding to Gu Xizhou, the ghost let out a strange laugh.
"Ga ga ga ga."
He glanced at the balcony. With Gu Xizhou's skills, he jumped directly into the room next door. There was no one in the room next door, and the lights weren't turned on either!
As soon as Gu Xizhou turned around, he finally saw the ghost's real body.
It was about 1.6 meters tall and had a small and wretched appearance. When it saw Gu Xizhou enter the room next door, it was slightly stunned.
This person was courting death!
Then, its lips curled into a cold smile.
It rushed towards Gu Xizhou, but it never expected that the man would smile at it. It was even colder and scarier than the smile it had just shown.
It didn't know why, but it suddenly felt a little scared. It was very scared, and it had a bad feeling. But in the next second, it shook its head.
It was already a f * cking ghost. What was there to be afraid of?
It was a ghost!
Gu Xizhou looked at the guy who had been possessed by the 'ghost' and picked it up with one hand as if it was a little chick.
The guy who had been laughing strangely finally stopped. Gu Xizhou looked at the ghost's confused expression with satisfaction. Then, it was met with a violent beating.
It trembled, "You, you're a ghost?"
As soon as it finished asking, it suddenly felt pain all over its body, as if it was experiencing death all over again. It saw the man's finger poke into the wound where it had been shot, and it even went in!
"Wu wu wu …"
Gu Xizhou pointed at himself, "Look carefully, I'm a human!"
It: "…" Look at the hand you poked into my head. Who would be like you!
