Chapter 191: Ghosts, Monsters, and Gods

Chapter 191: Ghosts, Monsters, and Gods
Fatty Qian's mood at this moment was like riding a roller coaster, sometimes high and sometimes low.

In the situation just now, he really thought he was dead.

Unexpectedly, Luo Xi turned this horrible situation around with just one sentence, but before he could catch his breath, the female ghost's action of asking for custody fees made him nervous again.

Is the money the female ghost wants real money?
If it is, that’s fine. If not, how should I give it?
If it can't give it, it will definitely kill people.

It's death anyway.

"Luo Ju, how will you respond? Give, or..."

"Where is the child?" Luo Xi's response was to change the subject directly.

Just like what Fatty Qian was worried about, without knowing what kind of money the female ghost wanted, he could only change the subject to avoid the dilemma.

"I'm playing outside. About the custody fee." The female ghost answered quickly and tried to bring the topic back.

She should be the owner of this small restaurant.

Starting a business at such a young age is truly a model of self-reliance.

"I heard that other kids always bully Zhang Hao?" Luo Xi changed track again and dropped another bombshell.

It really is true that the best defense is offense. We must take the initiative and cannot follow the ghost girl's rhythm. We must follow our own rhythm. Otherwise, we will end up dead.

"No, who told you that, parent?" the female ghost immediately denied.

But you could tell she felt a little guilty.

Luo Xi smiled.

Ghosts, like humans, always leave some clues when they lie.

What he had torn off the wall before was the custody list, and on the list were the names and information of all the children in custody. There were a lot of messy designs drawn on the name 'Zhang Hao' on the list, and someone had written the words 'little bastard' underneath it.

The font was written by an elementary school student.

Combined with the fact that the child ghost that Luo Xi encountered before was stuffed into a drawer, it was obvious that he was used to being bullied, so it is very likely that the child ghost was Zhang Hao.

It should be noted that bullying is not something that happens overnight.

The female ghost is the after-school teacher at the small canteen, there is no way she doesn’t know.

Sure enough, a rhetorical question directly took the initiative.

"Don't worry about who told me that. Call the kid first. I want to ask him." Luo Xi began to get into the role, his tone questioning and becoming more and more rigid. Fatty Qian was so excited to hear such a righteous tone.

Apart from anything else, he has a lot to learn from this point alone.

Facing a terrifying evil spirit, he was able to question it so confidently and actually intimidate the other party. Who else can do this?

"No, parent, please don't be anxious. Sit for a while. Some things are not as you heard. Come, sit down first. Let's sit down and talk." The female ghost was obviously guilty. She became much more polite. At this moment, she really looked like a daycare teacher being questioned by a parent.

There is no need to mention the custody fee.

Luo Xi sat on the stool reluctantly.

"Drink some water first." The female ghost poured a cup of thick water soaked with eyeballs, teeth, and unknown flesh and blood, and handed it to Luo Xi.

The latter looked calm as he reached out to take it and immediately discovered that it was a card prop.

Named [Ghost-Seeing Tea], this cup of tea is deeply loved by ghosts and has received rave reviews - if you drink a sip, you will be able to see the King of Hell immediately.

"Good tea!" Luo Xi sniffed it, but of course he didn't drink it. However, he glanced at the female ghost: "Is there anything to eat?"

Hearing this, Fatty Qian secretly gave a thumbs up.

Luo Ju is awesome!

The initiative was firmly grasped, leaving the other party no chance at all.

At this moment, Fatty Qian also felt a lot braver, his body was no longer weak, and his legs and feet were strong. He got up from the ground, walked over, sat next to him, and laughed: "I want to have a drink, too."

The ghost girl turned her head and looked at him: "Who are you?"

The feeling of terror came back again.

"Damn, this female ghost is so scary." Fatty Qian immediately lost his courage and became scared.

"I, I am." His mind began to go empty again, like the cloudless sky, nothing at all. He couldn't understand how Luo Ju could remain calm when facing such a terrifying ghost.

The fat man thought he could do it, but in fact, it was much more difficult than he thought.

If you cannot remain calm, then you will lack courage. If you lack courage, your momentum will be weak. Once your momentum is weak, the evil spirit will notice it immediately.

This is a vicious cycle. If you want to stop it from happening, you have to break it at the source.

The fat guy understands the principle, but knowing is one thing and doing is another.

"He is the child's uncle. He heard that the child was bullied, so he insisted on coming over. He has loved his nephew since he was young." Luo Xi came to the rescue of Fatty Qian again and answered fluently. At this moment, Fatty Qian felt that he was fine again.

"Yes, whoever bullies my Zhang Hao, I will never let him go."

Luo Xi patted Fatty Qian on the shoulder, meaning, just act it out and don't get carried away anymore.

Fatty Qian nodded and said nothing.

So, the female ghost went over to pour tea, and Luo Xi took the opportunity to turn [Ghosts Are Happy·Tea] into a card and put it into his pocket.

"Please, I need another cup." Luo Xi shouted.

Don’t give up on good things.

In addition to drinks, there is also food.

This should be the uniform meal of this small dining table. They serve whatever the children eat. However, the food is still so scary. There are unknown black bugs with clumps of dirt, red candles cut into pieces, ears mixed, which are obviously human ears, fried fingernails, pickled hair, sprinkled with a thick layer of incense ash, tongue stewed with large intestine, and the large intestine is not washed.
"The food is delicious." Luo Xi praised, and his expression and tone didn't sound like he was acting.

Fatty Qian looked at the dish and couldn't hold it in anymore, almost vomiting.

Although it doesn't look good, the stuff is pretty good.

Just like the tea, it is also a card item. [Ghosts' Delight Food] has many varieties, is nutritious, and tastes good. There is almost no ghost that doesn't like it - ghosts are just like humans, they will get hungry if they don't eat for a meal.

"Uncle, are you hungry?" Luo Xi asked, giving him a look at the same time.

Although Fatty Qian was afraid, he was smart enough to understand immediately and said, "I'm hungry. This plate is not enough. Bring me another one, one for each person!"

While the female ghost was serving the rice, the two men immediately transformed the cards and stuffed them into their pockets.

"You go first and wait for me outside. Look after Brother Mao and don't run around." Luo Xi took the opportunity to whisper to Fatty Qian.

The latter nodded as if he had been pardoned.

"If you have something to do, please go first. I will talk to the teacher." Luo Xi said loudly at this time.

"Okay, you guys keep chatting, I'm leaving." Fatty Qian stood up, pretended to be calm, opened the door and walked out. The ghost girl's voice came from behind: "Hey, don't you want to eat?"

"Uh, something happened suddenly. Let's eat next time." Fatty Qian closed the door without even turning his head.

It was not until this moment that Fatty Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

Before I knew it, I was sweating coldly and my hands and feet were numb.

He didn't dare run around outside as it was dark now and Fatty Qian had heard a lot of strange noises.

He could even see the floors of Zone D in the distance. The exposed passageways in the tube-shaped buildings were like vertical sections of the floors. He could see "figures" moving around on every floor in the distance.

Unlike the last 'dark night', this night was extremely lively. Not to mention the D area across the street, the situation here alone was much more 'serious' than the last time.

There seemed to be someone walking on the fourth floor above, and then from the edge of the floor diagonally above, there was black hair hanging down and moving slowly. It felt like there was a girl with very long hair, dragging her hair as she walked.

But how long does it take for it to fall to the next level?
It's terrifying to think carefully.

Suddenly, Fatty Qian noticed that something was slowly floating over to the side of this floor. He turned his head and saw, through the old and dim corridor lights, a mouth that was torn open, with a chin that was more than a foot long, a bloody tongue sticking out, and toes dragging on the ground. It was almost a female ghost floating over.

Before, Fatty Qian would have been scared to death by this female ghost, because this thing perfectly hit the fear point of normal people. It looked like a human but not a human. The death appearance almost made people think of the most terrible pain, with torn skin and muscles, a pulled out tongue, and constant bleeding.
However, after experiencing those previous scares, Fatty Qian was not that scared anymore.

It really is true what I said.

After seeing ghosts so many times, you get used to it.

But it was still very dangerous. At this moment, he noticed that the door of a shabby wardrobe in the corridor was open a crack, and Brother Mao was waving at him from inside.

"I was wondering where you had been, Brother Mao. Turns out you were hiding here." Fatty Qian immediately walked over quickly. Brother Mao inside opened the door and let the fat man squeeze in.

After closing the door, Fatty Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

"As soon as I rang the bell just now, the door closed instantly as if it had been refreshed. I didn't dare knock on the door, so I could only wait for you at the door. But there were ghosts outside, so I had no choice but to hide here." Brother Mao briefly explained the situation.

As a person who recalls memories, Brother Mao’s mind is obviously not among the smartest.

When adapting to and analyzing the level scenes, his lack of ability was immediately exposed, but even so, Luo Xi still valued him very much. In this small team, Brother Mao also had an extraordinary status.

One reason is that he is the only one in the team with a 'cleaner' physique.

In Luo Xi's words, if one is really forced into a desperate situation, then Brother Mao can directly activate his [Resentment], and combined with [Reason], he can transform into a cleaner and kill any god he meets, and any Buddha he meets.

Very fierce.

This has been reflected in the scene of the First Hospital. Even in the hidden area of ​​the second ward in that scene, Brother Mao transformed into a cleaner and was able to kill his way in and out seven times.

This is the irreplaceable value of Brother Mao.

Of course there is one more thing.

It is Mao Ge's "forbidden memory".

Now Luo Xi is certain that his previous customer service job was simply a planned fake scenario.

And it is very likely that it was planned by my 'former self'.

It's like a director or a scene designer. Everything in the work scene, including the people around him, must be "carefully selected". Mao Ge and Wu Rui, who have a good relationship with him, cannot appear randomly.

Now Brother Mao has shown his uniqueness.

In the room of Wuyou Dining Table, Luo Xi looked at the female ghost opposite him with a calm expression.

"Teacher Liang, we as parents feel relieved to leave our children to you. We understand that your job is not easy. After all, there are many children and many problems. For example, some children like to bully others. You have to take care of this. Otherwise, who will be responsible if something happens?"

"Yes, that's indeed the case, but the children here are all pretty good." The female ghost teacher Liang was completely led by Luo Xi.

She seemed to have forgotten to ask for the custody fee.

Just then, knock, knock, knock, someone knocked on the door.

"Mr. Liang, open the door."

There was a little girl's voice outside.

"The children are back." Teacher Liang was very happy. He stood up and walked over to open the door.

From the open door, Luo Xi could see ghosts and monsters outside. The number of ghosts in the entire "Haunted Mansion" was definitely in the hundreds.

And this is just the scene of Yin Yang Three and Earth Element Two.

If it is the Yin and Yang Four, or the Earth Four, how terrifying would it be?
Fatty Qian and Brother Mao are not seen at the door, so they are probably hiding. Brother Mao is honest and loyal, but also calm; Fatty Qian is quick-witted and can really fight when something happens. The two of them may not be able to cooperate well in expansion, but they are more than capable of protecting themselves.

At this moment, there was a little girl standing at the door. She also looked like a ghost. One of her eyes was under the left nose, and the other was on the upper right side of her forehead. Her mouth was crooked, her fangs were exposed, and her chest was bloody. It seemed that she was sewn together with a rag doll.

Just looking at this shape, most people's sanity would be reset to zero immediately.

The little girl was also holding the hand of a person, a short and very cute woman wearing a skirt. The other person was obviously not a ghost, and Luo Xi knew her.

Yu Xiaoru!
The Memory Collector of the Awakener Association, with whom I once accidentally collaborated with Tuntun Bookstore. He is a guy who likes to wear princess dresses, looks like a lolita, and likes cosplay.

However, at this moment, the other party's expression was not very good. She was obviously suppressing her fear. Moreover, she was dragged here by force and not voluntarily.

"Teacher Liang, I found my mother. Look, she's here!" The little girl ghost laughed happily at this time.
