Chapter 72 Another Invitation
(A word of caution: don't read this chapter while eating.)
"Calm down! Think about how much you loved girls in the past, but why has it become like this now? It's not that those girls have become ugly! It's that you have changed, and you are being influenced by some force!" Wu Xiangjiao shouted.

He decisively stopped the college student and took the knife from him without hesitation.

The physiques of the people in the bunker are generally stronger than those in the three towers.

Wu Xiangjiao subdued the college student in a few moves, and Che Ren fell on the sofa laughing.

If someone from the bunker team rushed in at this time...

I guess Wu Xiangyao can’t wash herself clean even if she jumps into the Yellow River.

He was holding a knife, and a college student who had taken off his pants was looking at him with a somewhat frightened expression. Wu Xiangyao himself felt that something was wrong with this scene.

Wu Banana said:
"Put your fucking pants on first. Don't make me beg you."

Che Renxiao pulled up his pants silently, looking a little depressed. Wu Xiangjiao continued:

"Follow me and get out of here."

Che Ren smiled and shook his head:
"I'm sorry, Jiao, I can't leave here. I've done too many sinful things with that ugly thing!"

"I am holy only here! This magical place can purify me!"

Wu Xiangjiao was shocked.

Che Ren smiled and said:
"Come on, I need to read some philosophy."

Once the order to expel the guest is issued, the interaction will be triggered to end in advance. Wu Xiangjiao knew that he had failed.

He still had 50 points of action, and he didn't know whether to continue for another round. While he was hesitating... Wu Xiangjiao's body had begun to be driven by the weirdness and returned to his home.

It's quiet next door.

Wu Xiangjiao sat on the sofa, praying that Che Renxiao would not do anything stupid. Although they were only from Santa Tower, Wu Xiangjiao did not want a buddy to castrate himself.

"Forget it, let's wait for a meeting later. Maybe I can ask Ash if there is any way to persuade this college student."

"I was actually scared just now. Come to think of it, I won't become like that, will I?"

Thoughts kept coming to his mind, and Wu Xiangjiao tried to recall some beautiful women in his memory. He was surprised to find that, indeed, he no longer had that kind of vulgar desire.

Not only do I not have that desire, I even feel a strong disgust towards it.

"The mission told me that I went back to seven days before everything happened... which means there are still six days until the end... it's only the second day and the neighbor is already going crazy."

Wu Xiangjiao thought with a worried look on his face:

"I wonder how the Venerable, Fifth Brother, and A-Miao are doing."

……

……

Xiaowu's situation is slightly better than yesterday.

With the encouragement of Venerable Wen, he was indeed able to muster up the courage to temporarily overcome his inferiority complex and go see Lawyer Jiang.

Lawyer Jiang opened the door, his face looking sickly pale:
"Oh, neighbor, please come in... I hope you don't mind my house being too dirty."

Lawyer Jiang actually didn't want to let Xiaowu in, but he suddenly thought that it would be very impolite to do so, and he was afraid that the other party would think he was an impolite person.

Two people who had lost all their self-confidence and were extremely inferior sat on the sofa, making small movements constantly.

Lawyer Jiang felt very uncomfortable and scratched his ears and cheeks.

Xiaowu kept shaking his legs.

After about a minute, Xiao Wu finally spoke:
"Your house is very clean... I am ashamed of myself, you... You are really a person who is very worthy of my learning."

Lawyer Jiang shook his head:
"No...no, it's not clean enough. I've already contacted someone to buy laboratory-grade antibacterial cleaning supplies."

"I'm... I'm so sorry that I came to see you in such a dirty state."

Xiaowu waved his hands desperately:

"No, no, no... I am the one who is really dirty. I am so presumptuous!"

Xiao Wu even had the urge to leave quickly, but when the smile of the Venerable appeared on his face, he mustered up his courage again:

"Lawyer Jiang, you are a lawyer who deserves respect, and you have your own pride! Do you want to come with me... and leave here?"

"You have already noticed, this place makes us sensitive and suspicious, and makes us humble and timid!"

This is already Xiaowu's limit. It is difficult for him to come up with reasons for the other party to leave based on the other party's occupation and habits, like Wen Xishu did.

Under the erosion of inferiority, the best he could do was to say it all out.

But Lawyer Jiang was horrified:

"No... No no no! Absolutely not! Absolutely not!"

"I don't even dare to go out! Do you know how many people are outside? Do you know how many people are in Caicheng?"

"There's a vast world outside! But I'm a dirty person! I can't leave here..."

Jiang Yingce's face slowly approached Xiaowu.

"Look at my dirty pores and the stench I smell... I can't accept myself going out like this! Everyone, everyone will laugh at me!"

"I want to clean myself up, I want to clean myself up, I want to clean myself up, I want to clean myself up..."

Wash it clean, wash it clean, wash it clean...

Such words kept coming out of Jiang Yingce's mouth, and the faith and courage that Xiaowu had built up with great difficulty collapsed.

Such an outstanding person feels that he is dirty... How can a person like me face others?

"You... you are right. We should wash it clean... wash it clean. It's too dirty. How can we show it to others?"

Xiaowu stood up, said goodbye to lawyer Jiang Yingce, and walked towards his room.

When the door was closed, he began to bathe.

He simply unscrewed the nozzle on the shower gel bottle, opened the bottle cap, and then poured the entire bottle of shower gel on his head.

Let the shower gel flow slowly on your body.

Next, he turned on the hot water and adjusted it to a somewhat uncomfortable temperature.

Thinking that hot water could kill bacteria, he cried out in pain, but still tried his best to endure the pain of the hot water scalding his skin.

Slowly, little by little, turn the switch toward a higher temperature.

……

……

Wen Xiange was not turned away this time.

In fact, except for 42-7 which is relatively difficult to visit, it is not difficult to interact with every neighbor in this mission as long as you don't step on the unlucky spots.

The obese man is called Bai Dongsheng.

He has been a greedy person since he was a child. When he was in high school, he weighed 245 kilograms. He also longed for love and wanted to do some sports, such as bungee jumping and skydiving.

But almost no coach would take a job with his weight.

Recently, Bai Dongsheng has been rejected on blind dates due to his obesity problem. His self-esteem has been greatly damaged and he needs to be healed by delicious food.

Being fat and not being able to do things will make you feel bad, and when you feel bad you will want to eat, and after eating you will gain weight...

Bai Dongsheng fell into such a vicious cycle.

Then he came to the Miracle Building.

Unlike other desires, appetite is related to life. Fat people can also starve to death. In fact, it is difficult for people to starve themselves to death when there is food.

Wen Xiange was startled by the way Bai Dongsheng opened the door. Although she knew in her heart that fear was the switch that turned on the weirdness...

But Wen Xiange was still frightened, because Bai Dongsheng's face was pale, his whole body was shaking slightly, and... he crawled over to open the door.

He was very weak, which made Wen Xiange immediately push open the door and decide to help Bai Dongsheng.

But Wen Xiange didn't know that he was about to fall into a disgusting predicament, and he soon began to have stomach cramps.

Because Bai Dongsheng's room was full of the smell of stomach acid and food.

Before entering the house, Wen Xiange thought of many plans and even prepared the most scientific strategy for weight loss through exercise. His preparations should have worked.

Wen Xiange is not stupid, he just has bad luck. If it were any other resident of Niqi in the first interaction, Wen Xiange would be able to successfully obtain some information.

This time, Wen Xiange's luck doesn't seem to be very good.

He greatly underestimated the horror of the strange effect on appetite.

All of Wen Xiange's lines and preparations were completely destroyed after entering Bai Dongsheng's room... by the smell.

The weirdness made Wen Xiange start to hate food. He hated delicious food, but he hated things that were corroded by stomach acid and then vomited out even more.

He started vomiting, vomiting madly.

He didn't know how all this came about, but as he vomited, he suddenly understood.

The conflict between the survival instinct and food aversion.

Bai Dongsheng's gluttony was replaced by food aversion, a resistance to eating, even though the body was craving food.

In extreme hunger, Bai Dongsheng began to eat.

But in the case of food disgust, he began to vomit, and the disgust for things, coupled with the nausea of ​​vomit, made Bai Dongsheng fall into a coma.

But when he woke up, he felt hungry again. He started to eat again, and then vomited again... After this process continued for several times, Bai Dongsheng no longer had much strength. He wanted to survive and wanted to ask for help.

But he needed food, he needed food to replenish his strength.

But he no longer had enough strength to stand up his several-hundred-pound body and take out fresh food from the refrigerator.

But fortunately... there is still vomit around. They are sticky, and the proteins have not been absorbed by the body's functions. Their dissolved state is more suitable for digestion and absorption.

Bai Dongsheng fell into his own hell.

More intense hunger and more severe vomiting were waiting for him.

The food that was repeatedly chewed, swallowed, and then spit out began to take on a disgusting yellow-green color, which was a mixture of bile.

The hell that Bai Dongsheng experienced... should have also been passed on to Wen Xiange.

Wen Xiange was indeed experiencing crazy vomiting.

But the good thing is...

An hour later, a strange force forcibly took over his body, and his interaction with his neighbors ended, and he returned to his house.

Wen Xiange recalled the scene in the room just now. Besides nausea, he also felt deep fear.

A person whose appetite is taken away would actually become like that!
When the desire to survive is greater than the desire to hate food, Bai Dongsheng's situation will occur. Wen Xiange thought of that scene and immediately ran to the bathroom and started vomiting.

He would rather his desire to survive was less than his aversion to food... at least he could starve himself to death.

If an ordinary person experiences such a scene, he or she will probably never forget it for the rest of their life.

But Wen Xiange is ultimately a man who is called a Venerable.

He quickly gathered his courage and began to cheer himself up:

"It doesn't matter. You are the venerable of the Xishu Divine Religion. You have to save many people!! You can't be defeated by the difficulties in front of you!!"

"My idol is the one who saved countless people at the bottom of the bunker! The suffering he endured must be far greater than mine!"

A man with strong convictions cannot be defeated.

Wen Xiange quickly began to think about how to convince Bai Dongsheng to leave in that hellish environment full of vomit.

This seems to be an impossible thing to do.

He could only wait for the next meeting and ask Ashu for his opinion. He was very optimistic about Ashu.

……

……

Of course, the story isn’t always about failure.

In Wen Xishu's original idea, Wu Xiangjiao, who had the least fear, might be his right-hand man in this mission.

Unfortunately, Wu Xiangjiao, Wen Zunzhe, and Xiao Wu all failed.

But A Miao, who was most affected by the weirdness, was surprisingly successful in this mission.

"Oh, Amy, you're here again."

When A Miao chose to interact, the comedian quickly opened the door and happily invited A Miao into the house.

The comedian's name is He Taiping. In fact, people who perform comedies do have bad tempers, just as Wen Xishu said.

In particular, He Taiping's comedy is not expressed through humor, but through ugliness.

His original intention of coming here was to hope that the growing desire for anger in his heart could be suppressed.

He hopes that he can be consistent in his inner self and perform comedy.

As time went by, he gradually felt that everything was worth celebrating. This strange invasion would become deeper and deeper.

After Ah Miao arrived, He Taiping said:
"I can see that you are a lot happier. You should know that this house can make people happy."

A Miao nodded:
"Yes, I didn't have a very good life in the past, but now I think... it's not bad. I think even if I encounter problems in the future, I can still deal with them with a smile."

He Taiping is very satisfied:
"We are indeed on the same path. By the way, A Miao, can you do something for me?"

A Miao asked:

"Of course, what do you need me to do for you?"

He Taiping took out a knife:

“I want to have a face that always has a smile on it.”

The smile on A Miao's face suddenly paused.

At this time, Ah Miao was a little scared. She knew what the other party was going to do, and knew that this person from Santa was probably already a pervert.

He Taiping may no longer be able to feel any emotions other than joy. He repeatedly watched those moments on the set that made him angry in the past, but could only laugh out loud.

Now, He Taiping's perversion has gone a step further. He needs to relieve his joy through pain and suffering.

Or maybe he just wanted to prove that he could do it, that anything, any pain could bring joy.

For the first time, A Miao felt that people who laughed constantly could also give people the feeling of being morbid and crazy.

"Why aren't you smiling? Ah Miao, are you scared? If that's the case... I'm a little disappointed in you. Come on, use a knife to cut open my mouth so that it will form a half-moon-shaped smiling face!"

"Hahahaha, are you scared? You are scared! I taught you to face it with laughter!"

A Miao had a premonition that she might be expelled.

But at this moment, she remembered what Wen Xishu had said.

"Ah Miao...you will have to go back eventually. Don't let this place affect you. Don't think that death is something that is not worth worrying about. Everyone cares about you."

"So, don't forget your mission here because of the joy you have."

Yes, I will go back eventually. I can't forget my mission because of the joy here!
At this moment, A Miao, the only woman in the team, smiled fiercely, and that smile seemed crazy.

Is there anything more terrifying than dying alone in a bunker?
Ah Miao picked up the knife, and He Taiping opened his mouth wide, waiting for a permanent smile to be engraved on his face.

But he suddenly stopped smiling.

Because A Miao's knife did not fall on him, but instead slashed towards A Miao's own face without hesitation.

"Hahahaha, hahahahahaha!" A Miao laughed.

He Taiping paused, then laughed as well:

"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! A Miao, A Miao! You are so wonderful! Hahahahahahaha..."

The two laughs intertwined, crazy and unbridled.

A Miao is pretending.

She was not so seriously ill. She let the pain of torn skin stimulate her nerves, but kept a smile on her face:

"Teacher He, you are looking for greater joy, or a greater challenge, right?"

He Taiping did not deny:

"Of course. Those things that make others painful and angry will make me happy. I want to continue to experience these things."

Until death.

Ah Miao suddenly thought that maybe the way this person died was because he suddenly felt that "death is something worth being happy about."

But these are not important anymore. At this moment, A Miao is definitely performing beyond her level.

Joy made her forget her fear and pain temporarily:

"Then why don't you try to get out? Teacher He, if it was someone else, I would think that he might just be hiding in the house with the help of the power of the house to deceive himself."

"For example, I can laugh even if I'm hurting myself or constantly recalling past pain. But I still want to leave this room."

"Teacher He, you have a face that's always smiling. Someone has to see it, right? Hahahaha..."

He Taiping was stunned.

Ah Miao smiled and said:

"Hahahaha, are you scared? You taught me to face everything with laughter, Teacher He. Our hearts are so strong that we can face everything with laughter. But is that something we give ourselves, or is it something given by this room?"

He Taiping fell into deep thought.

Yes, was it given by us or by the room?
In this room, it seems that everything can make me laugh, but what happens after I leave the room? Will I laugh in this room forever? Laugh only for myself?
He Taiping seemed to understand:
"I understand. Thank you, Miao. Yes, I have to walk out of this room. Hahahaha! There's nothing to be afraid of! Hahahaha, this is a decision worth laughing at, isn't it?!"

"I'll start cleaning up now!"

Ah Miao acknowledged the pain on her face and smiled:
"Teacher He, you are my guiding light. I think we might meet outside."

"Ah Miao, you have been a great help to me too!"

"Then I'll go back first, Mr. He, and won't disturb you to clean up. I look forward to your good news."

Ah Miao took the initiative to end this interaction because she had received a prompt, an unprecedented prompt.

[The fate of He Taiping has been rewritten. He left the building voluntarily and did not lose his desire for pleasure. The Zhenqi mechanism will not be triggered. Congratulations, you are about to receive the invitation. The countdown to the invitation is 24 hours. ]

Although suffering the deepest fear made Ami lag behind others at the beginning, human courage can bounce back from the bottom. When courage is rekindled, good luck may come.

A Miao returned home and immediately began to bandage herself. She was in so much pain that tears were about to fall.

But she finally held it in. She tried to smile as she treated herself in the mirror.

She didn't know what the invitation was, but she knew...it must mean she was doing something right!
