Chapter 345 The Barber

The next day, early in the morning.

The four players of the Clumsy Party all got up early and came to the room where Su Ming slept last night.

I want to have breakfast with Su Ming and take this opportunity to ease the relationship and make up for the unpleasantness caused by the repeater last night.

The repeater had big dark circles under his eyes. He didn't sleep well last night and kept thinking about what he did wrong, but he just couldn't figure it out.

This was not the first time that this had happened to him. Similar things would happen every once in a while, like a ghost that would linger around and cause him trouble every time. Sometimes it was financial losses, sometimes he was beaten, and sometimes a good relationship with a friend became strained.

However, he still couldn't figure out why this happened.

For him, this is a topic as difficult as winning the Nobel Prize.

An unknown female corpse brought them food, only four portions in total.

The handicapped party asked, "Where's Big Brother's share?"

Female corpse: "Already gone, about an hour ago."

They felt very sorry that no one showed up. If Su Ming was willing to have breakfast with them, they would feel more at ease.

Now I can only stay in the hotel as Su Ming instructed, waiting for the horror copy to end, and hoping that there will be no more accidents.

……

……

An hour ago, Su Ming got up from the bed and left the Human Hotel.

Looking up at the sky, I saw that it was still clear at this time, but in the distance, there was a black cloud moving towards this side.

There are four taboos about rain in the town, which makes the rain in this ancient town a synonym for taking lives.

Most of the second day in town was spent in the rain.

Before that, Su Ming would follow the steps and clear some taboos that were easier for him. This easier only meant that it did not require such a complicated process. If another player came, he would still die.

[You have touched the taboo of "dead man's money"]

[Current cumulative number of taboos touched: 4]

[You have touched the forbidden "tribute"]

[Current cumulative number of taboos touched: 5]

[You have touched the taboo "portrait"]

[Current cumulative number of taboos touched: 6]

He just went to a grave, took away the paper money in front of the grave, and ate an apple in front of the grave, which directly triggered two taboos.

Then, he went to a photo studio in the town and asked the owner to take a photo of him. It was a black and white portrait that only dead people would take. His hairstyle in the photo was very unique. Half of his head was completely shaved, and his scalp was clearly visible. The other half was not shaved at all, a typical yin-yang head. These three taboos would not explode immediately. Once they were done, dirty things would haunt him. It would be difficult for ordinary players to survive more than three days if they did so.

After all, any one of them could kill someone, not to mention that he had provoked three of them at the same time. With so many attacks going on, it would be strange if he didn't die.

At the entrance of an alley, there was an old barber holding a scraper and shaving people's heads.

For the stall, there was a stool, a basin for washing hair, a large pot of hot water, and a razor. Apart from that, nothing else.

It was clearly early in the morning, but there was already a customer sitting on a bench, wrapped in a white cloth. The barber smeared white ointment on his hair, and then moved the razor around his head. Soon, his head was turned into a half-shaved yin-yang head, which looked quite funny.

He saw Su Ming coming over and introduced: "Young man, there is a taboo in this town, that is, when you shave your head, you have to shave it all off. If you don't shave it cleanly, the more hair you leave, the greater the disaster will be."

The barber's hands were steady. He shaved the head very smooth, and it was even gleaming. "I have been learning shaving from my master since I was a child. I have been shaving heads for most of my life. I have already mastered the razor like an arm and fingers. I have mastered it to perfection. I want to shave one centimeter, not a centimeter more."

"Young man from outside, would you like to try my barbering skills? Your head shape is very good, you are a rare handsome man, after shaving, I guarantee you will be full of energy."

Su Ming took out a black and white portrait and said, "Come, shave it like this. It'd be best if it's exactly the same."

The barber first looked at the photo and recognized that it was a posthumous portrait taken by the photo studio. It was one of the taboos in the town that posthumous portraits of living people could not be taken. After taking the photo, the living person would soon become dead.

It was the first time he had seen someone holding a portrait of a deceased person and asking him to shave his head.

The barber looked at Su Ming with a strange expression, "Compared to not shaving thoroughly, shaving a yin-yang head is a more dangerous taboo. Anyone in this town who has had a yin-yang head shaved by me will not survive more than a day, without exception."

Su Ming: "It doesn't matter, go ahead. Anyway, I've already taken a portrait of my body. Logically speaking, I'm already dead. Too many lice won't itch. In this desperate situation, I can fight poison with poison. I can still have a chance of survival if I put myself in a desperate situation."

The barber nodded and motioned Su Ming to wash his hair. Su Ming finished it in no time and then sat on the stool, waiting for the barber to start.

As he spoke, he narrated, "What you said was also said by a doctor in the town. He offended some evil creatures and was about to die. He came to me to have his head shaved in the Yin-Yang style, hoping to save his life. In the end, he died miserably, being torn into pieces by two evil creatures..."

While telling the story, his hands were moving quickly and efficiently. It only took him five minutes to get the hairstyle done. He took out a small round mirror and placed it in front of Su Ming: "Take a look, it's exactly right."

Su Ming felt the chill coming from the half-baked scalp and gave a thumbs up: "Good craftsmanship."

The barber looked up at the sky and saw dark clouds approaching.

He said, "It's going to rain. I have to close the stall. You should find a place to hide from the rain."

"Remember, when it rains, don't stay in the rain, don't open an umbrella in the house, and don't let anyone in. If you accidentally stay in the rain, stay close to the person in the green raincoat and stay away from the person in the red raincoat, and you may still have a chance of survival."

After saying this, the barber picked up his tools and ran quickly in one direction. With such a speed, he could have participated in a sprint. He was a sports enthusiast whose career was hindered by shaving.

Su Ming walked leisurely on the streets of the ancient town at a leisurely pace.

Until the dark clouds came above his head, big drops of rain fell from the sky, turning into a gloomy rain curtain. The rain hit Su Ming and soon wet his clothes.

[You have touched the taboo of "walking in the rain"]

[Current cumulative number of taboos touched: 7]
