Mist System: Legend of Stars and Moon

Chapter 25: Meals before the Lunar New Year

Zhang Feng said terrified: "There is a crazy woman in here, run away quickly."

Shen Xingxian: "But we don't know where to escape, we can only look for an exit."

Zhang Feng and Wang Xiao thought that if they stayed here, they would die, so they might as well follow them, so they said, "Take us with you!"

Liu Huaming reminded, "I forgot to say this. No one should talk for a while. Those puppets are still on this floor. They all ran away when we fought just now."

Jian Yueqiu said to Shen Xingxian: "Wait, you lead the way."

Shen Xingxian looked at He Feiyu and said, "Brother, can I hold your arm?"

He Feiyu also said helplessly: "You are only allowed to pull the sleeves."

Shen Xingxian thought the sleeves were nice too: "Yeah."

Shen Xingxian pulled He Feiyu's sleeve to lead the way, and was thinking about the motive of the female ghost. When Jian Yueqiu and the others' wigs fell off, the puppets stopped attacking. It meant that the female ghost would not kill women, so she would only kill men!

Liu Huaming sent a message in the group: Female ghosts only kill men, let’s go to the roof first and discuss it!

When Shen Xingxian's phone rang, he also sent: I just thought of it.

After Shen Xingxian arrived at the elevator, he pressed the elevator button himself. Everyone was anxiously waiting for the elevator to arrive.

There are two elevators, one coming from the roof and the other coming from underground. Shen Xingxian has a bad feeling: "Why don't we take the stairs?"

He led everyone to the stairs next to him and closed the emergency door.

Zhang Feng and Wang Xiao suffered cardiac arrest.

Shen Xingxian and Jian Yueqiu quietly leaned towards the small window of the security door and found that many puppets holding sticks appeared from the elevator.

Liu Huaming and He Feiyu also looked at it quietly, but the other two did not dare to look.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Huaming gave instructions to climb up.

Shen Xingxian took the lead in climbing up and finally reached the familiar 16th floor. After observing through the window of the security door, they walked in.

Liu Huaming pointed at Shen Xingxian's expression and asked, "Is this the one?"

Shen Xingxian shook his head. Although he was very scared, he still pointed to the door of Xu Xuerui's house.

Liu Huaming typed on her cell phone: I will knock on the door later, you guys quickly hide in the corridor.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Shen Xingxian and the others hid inside and opened the door a crack so that they could enter when Liu Huaming knocked on the door and came in.

Liu Huaming knocked on the door gently a few times and then hid in the corridor to meet up with everyone.

The first thing I did after reuniting was to type: Thank you everyone

Shen Xingxian and He Feiyu were leaning against the door listening to the noise, while Jian Yueqiu stuck his head out to look outside.

After a while, there was no response, so Liu Huaming typed: Let's break in! Jian Yueqiu and I will break the door, and you stay put.

Others nodded.

Liu Huaming brought Jian Yueqiu to the door, one on the left and one on the right. Liu Huaming instructed Jian Yueqiu with his eyes, and they kicked the door at the same time and kicked it open.

After the door was kicked open, Jian Yueqiu and Liu Huaming checked that no one was in the room, and called Shen Xingxian and the others in. After making sure that everyone was in, Shen Xingxian locked the door and said, "I went upstairs just now, and Miss Xu was still there."

Jian Yueqiu said: "Is it possible that she went to pick up the child?"

"That's right!" He stared at the rotten food on the table and said, "What will she think when she comes back and finds the door has been pried open?"

Jian Yueqiu: "I'll tell her that it was Shen Xingxian who pried it open and asked her to eat you."

Shen Xingxian refused: "My meat is hard and unpalatable, but your meat looks more delicate."

Jian Yueqiu pinched Shen Xingxian's arm and said nothing. Shen Xingxian jumped up in pain.

Liu Huaming said: "Shen Xingxian, did she say she wanted to cook when you left?"

"I did." Then Shen Xingxian said, "I also smelled the fragrance of rice at that time."

He Feiyu was surprised and asked, "Is this really made just now, and not before the New Year?"

Shen Xingxian looked at the fish with only bones on the table and guessed, "And it's dinner."

Jian Yueqiu: "Are you upset? You didn't even eat a bite of dinner."

Shen Xingxian thought about the fact that the female ghost only killed men: "Trapped by love?"

He Feiyu also thought: "This is just a system, could it be just a decoration?"

Liu Huaming: "It's impossible, because this place was built according to the original owner's memory."

He Feiyu casually observed the paintings on the wall again.

He Feiyu asked: "How come there are Western stories in such a small community?"

Shen Xingxian: "The community is in the west."

He Feiyu asked back: "Your home is in the West?"

Shen Xingxian: "Everything is possible in the system."

Wang Feng said: "It is also possible that the community was designed by Westerners."

Jian Yueqiu: "Let's say, maybe the original owner likes Western art."

Liu Huaming gave Jian Yueqiu a big thumbs up.

Liu Huaming added: "Let's go check out other rooms! There are a lot of people here, so let's split into groups. Jian Yueqiu and I will check out the living room. Shen Xingxian, you guys go to the bedroom, Zhang Feng, you guys go to the kitchen."

Everyone: "Okay." They all went to their respective areas to investigate.

Shen Xingxian entered the bedroom and lay down on the bed as soon as he saw it: "It's so comfortable."

He Feiyu whispered in Shen Xingxian's ear: "Is it possible that there is someone under your bed?"

Shen Xingxian rolled over on the bed again: "It's daytime now, how is this possible!"

Shen Xingxian closed his eyes and enjoyed it, when he felt something flashing in his eyes. He stood up and opened his eyes, and found that among those tiny sparkling beads on the bedside there was a bead that looked like an eye. Shen Xingxian was no longer surprised by this thing, so he took it down directly.

After opening the drawer, He Feiyu went to look in the closet and found only a few coats inside.

Shen Xingxian said from behind He Feiyu: "Senior, look, this is the third time I have obtained this bead."

Shen Xingxian showed the bead to He Feiyu, who took a look and said, "I feel like there is this ancient magic inside."

"I thought so, but it's just a projector."

He Feiyu said: "Demonstrate it once."

Shen Xingxian chanted a spell: "Open the beads."

After the bead was opened and shone in all directions, there was nothing around.

"Close the bead." The bead closed.

He Feiyu was shocked and said: "It's voice control! Awesome."

Shen Xingxian put the beads into his pocket: "Let's go to the other bedroom and take a look!"

"Ah."

There was another bedroom right next to it. He Feiyu pulled the doorknob and tried to open it, but it seemed to be locked and couldn't be opened no matter what. Shen Xingxian also tried, but still couldn't open it.

"Call me Sister Jane."

"Ah."

Then everyone gathered in the living room again.

Shen Xingxian took out the beads: "I found this in the bedroom."

Zhang Feng and Wang Xiao had never seen this thing before and were very curious about it.

“It seems like an antique.”

"It's worth a lot of money!"

"Little brother, can you give us some of the money after you sell it when you get out?"

Shen Xingxian had no choice but to say, "You can't take this thing out."

Zhang Feng and Wang Xiao immediately lost interest in it.

Liu Huaming said to Shen Xingxian: "Take it with you! This may be the key to finding the golden stone rope."

Shen Xingxian obeyed and said, "Okay."

Liu Huaming asked Zhang Feng about the situation over there: "Zhang Feng, what did you find over there?"

Zhang Feng said: "There is not even a single thing to eat in the kitchen."

Wang Xiao continued: "Everything in the refrigerator has rotted away. I don't know how the owner of this house lives."

Shen Xingxian said casually: "What on earth happened to make the house become like this, neat and weird."

Liu Huaming felt that they had stayed here for too long. She looked at the alarm clock on the table and said, "Let's go! She will be back soon." Then she distributed the weapons she and Jian Yueqiu had found to them.

Shen Xingxian got a clothes-drying pole, He Feiyu got a broom, Zhang Feng got a heavier hairless mop, Wang Xiao got a short steel bar, Jian Yueqiu got a feather duster. Liu Huaming was given a knife each.

After Liu Huaming finished distributing the knives, he said, "I put the remaining knives into a box. I will hide them somewhere in the corridor later." Then he reminded, "Remember, our goal is just to escape. Don't fight them."

Everyone: “Yeah.”

Shen Xingxian was very sentimental about the feather duster, so he asked Jian Yueqiu: "Sister Jian, I want to exchange my clothesline for your feather duster."

Jian Yueqiu kept the feather duster in her hand and refused to change it.

Seeing that Jian Yueqiu didn't change, Shen Xingxian changed the subject and asked Liu Huaming: "Which floor should we go to?"

Liu Huaming was still thinking: "Let's take the elevator to the first floor underground! They all took the elevator up just now, and there may be fewer people on the first floor underground right now. The parking lot door there is wide open, so it shouldn't be a problem to escape."

Then everyone left Xu Xuerui's house, but the door was impossible to repair. Apart from the money on their mobile phones, they were almost penniless. They just hoped that Xu Xuerui would not blame them when he came back. It should not be a problem to just change the house in the system.

Shen Xingxian lost the game of rock-paper-scissors and went to press the elevator button, while the others hid at the stairs.

After pressing the elevator button, Shen Xingxian also ran back to the stairwell.

Shen Xingxian said sadly: "Why is it always me who gets hurt? I am the one who presses the elevator button every time."

Jian Yueqiu comforted him, "This is God's will. Let nature take its course. Good times will come after bad times."

Liu Huaming heard the elevator ring and made a "hush" gesture. Then he looked around and found that there was no one there. He rushed out and pressed the elevator button. Fortunately, he was fast and the elevator door opened, so everyone got on.

Everyone was silent and prepared for the elevator door to open.

Then the elevator door opened on the first floor, which meant someone pressed the elevator button, and everyone was ready for battle.

But when the elevator door opened, there was no one outside.

Liu Huamingdao went out first and motioned for everyone to come out.

So everyone went downstairs on the first floor.

Liu Huaming and Jian Yueqiu were familiar with the design of this floor, so they led the way. There was a small door at the corner, and they went out from there.

Jian Yueqiu saw a brick at the door, so she used it to block the door, because she knew that the door could only be opened from the inside.

After coming out, Liu Huaming took them to observe whether there were any puppets going down from here, but there was not a single puppet.

Shen Xingxian followed behind, but his cell phone suddenly rang. He opened the phone and saw that it was Shang Yanliang who came in. He picked up the phone to show it to Sister Jian and the others.

Jian Yueqiu made an OK gesture.

Everyone quietly gathered at the gate of the community.

Shen Xingxian took a breath of air: "Finally I can talk."

Liu Huaming opened his phone and saw a message from Shang Yanliang saying: I entered a large shopping supermarket.

Jian Yueqiu turned around and asked Shen Xingxian: "Shen Xingxian, this is your home, can you show us where the supermarket is?"

"it is good."

Shen Xingxian led a large group of people towards the supermarket.

Jian Yueqiu sent a message in the group: Shang Yanliang, please send a picture over.

Shang Yanliang sent a picture. When Shen Xingxian saw the picture sent in the group, he immediately found the supermarket where Shang Yanliang was.

There were also some puppets in the supermarket, and they were a little afraid to go in, so Liu Huaming sent a message: We are waiting for you outside.

Shang Yanliang was still picking things out in the supermarket when he received the message, because the system teleported him to the supermarket, probably to remind him to prepare food.

Finally, Liu Huaming and the others saw Shang Yanliang, who was carrying four large bags of food and a large schoolbag on his back.

Shang Yanliang had a bit of trouble carrying it. When he saw Liu Huaming and the others, he said, "What's the point of just watching? Why don't you come and help?"

Shen Xingxian and He Feiyu stepped forward and picked up a bag each. Shang Yanliang finally took a breath, put the things aside, and took out a roll of plastic bags: "What do you want to eat? Take it yourself. The schoolbag is in that pocket." Shang Yanliang pointed in a direction.

Shen Xingxian thought: Why didn't I think of carrying my schoolbag? Otherwise, the food wouldn't have scattered.

There were two more people in Shang Yanliang's team, so he asked, "Who are you?"

"Zhang Feng."

"Wang Xiao."

Shang Yanliang explained: "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were on the team. The schoolbag is in the supermarket, I think you can still get it now."

Shen Xingxian put on his blue schoolbag and asked, "Is there no one in the supermarket?"

Shang Yanliang said: "There are some people standing still."

Shen Xingxian: "There are many in that building too. They seem to be controlled and will beat people."

Shang Yanliang thought he would hit someone when he heard that: "Then let's not go in!"

Shang Yanliang handed his backpack to Zhang Feng: "This is for you. Shen Xingxian and I will share it."

"it is good."

Liu Huaming then said: "Let's find a suitable place and talk again!"

So everyone gathered in a corner of the park at the entrance of the community and formed a circle to discuss the matter.

Shang Yanliang: "What are you going to do next?"

Shen Xingxian: "We went to the 16th floor to look for Xu Xuerui, but she wasn't at home. She might have gone to pick up her child. We haven't seen her since."

He Feiyu added: "There was a table of leftovers from before the New Year in the room, and they hadn't been cleared away."

Shang Yanliang saw many puppets coming over there: "Some people are coming over there."

Shen Xingxian leaned over and said, "They don't have any weapons in their hands, and they are not aggressive."

Shen Xingxian remembered his search for the bead, so he shared it with Shang Yanliang: "Brother Shang, look, I found this bead again."

Shang Yanliang picked up the beads and took a look: "It seems a little different from last time."

Shen Xingxian looked left and right: "Which position?"

Shang Yanliang couldn't answer, so he just said, "Generally speaking."

Shen Xingxian analyzed: "Is it possible that it is due to the light that it looks a little different?"

Shang Yanliang returned it to Shen Xingxian and said, "Maybe! Take good care of it and don't lose it."
