"Why, kid, don't you like this place? I think you wanted to live in Jixing House back then, but you had to accept my cooking test. Now you can move in without the test, are you still not happy?"
Xu Ming quickly waved his hand.
"You misunderstood, I was afraid that one more person would cause you trouble."
Grandma Wen Xu waved her hand and said very proudly:
"It's not troublesome, it's just an extra pair of chopsticks."
Then she saw a look of emotion on her face.
"Oh~ Xiaohui, that child cooks too much every time..."
Xu Ming fell silent for a moment.
The reason why Tian Suohui cooks a lot more every time is probably because she cooks according to the number of people in Jixingliao back then.
Three years have passed and things have changed, but in this mansion hidden in the mountains and forests, the girl's time seems to have been frozen. Together with the old lady, she watched over the group of friends who might never come back...
Xu Ming only hopes that when he solves the conspiracy behind Yuanyue, the tragedy of Jixingliao can also be solved.
"I'm old, I'm old, I like to nag when I'm old. The room I prepared for you is on the first floor, room 106. The door is open, you go by yourself."
Granny Wenxu's voice interrupted Xu Ming's thoughts.
Tonight was supposed to be another all-nighter, and Xu Ming needed to recharge his batteries, so he accepted Granny Wenxu's kindness unceremoniously.
When he came to Room 106, Xu Ming pushed the door open and entered.A fairly tidy room came into view, especially the bed, which had been replaced with a new one.
Xu Ming immediately took off his coat, lay down on the bed and started his lunch break.
I have to say that a clean and tidy bed really helps sleep better.Xu Ming took a nap for more than an hour and didn't get up until 1 o'clock.
After the lunch break, Xu Ming immediately felt refreshed, and his condition had returned to his best.
After sorting out the equipment in the backpack, Xu Ming greeted Granny Wenxu, and then started to research and develop Chinese cuisine again.
Near five o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Ming arrived at this house imitating the Qing Dynasty again.
Then Xu Ming sat at the door, playing with his mobile phone while waiting for the sun to set.
The reason why I chose to wait at the door in advance is because at night, the entire Yuanyue Tea House is not safe.Especially when walking among the mountains and forests of Yuanyue at night, the poisonous insects and beasts that appear at night are a huge threat, not to mention all kinds of "weird" that appear and disappear.
After careful consideration, Xu Ming chose to arrive at the Chinese Cuisine Institute before sunset.
When the last ray of the sun fell, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, and the howling of wild animals from the distant mountains and forests.
Among the various buildings hidden in the mountains and forests, none of them had lights that symbolized human habitation.
Xu Ming seemed to be the only one left in the huge university campus that occupied the entire mountain forest.
Xu Ming stood up, patted the dust on his trousers, then held up the camera phone in one hand, turned on the 'night vision' ability, and walked carefully into the ruins of the Chinese Food Research Institute.
Compared with the daytime, the entire Chinese Food Research Institute looked even more eerie.
Strangely shaped wreckage can be seen everywhere, black ashes floating in the air, and the surroundings are dead silent, only the sound of Xu Ming's footsteps echoing in it.
Xu Ming bravely walked among them.A gust of wind blew away the scorched curtains, and there were many ghosts in the darkness.
Squeak!
A soft sound came from not far away.
Xu Ming immediately looked over with his mobile phone, only to find that only a small half of the wooden door was blown by the wind, shaking back and forth.
Xu Ming walked cautiously among the dark ruins.
Compared with the daytime, the entire Chinese Food Research Institute seems to have become gloomy, and nothing strange happened.
The careful Xu Ming discovered a problem.
Whether it was day or night, he never found any small life like mice or cockroaches in the ruins.
These two are notoriously tenacious, and can survive even a nuclear explosion, not to mention that it has been three years since the fire.It stands to reason that this ruin should have been turned into a nest of insects, snakes, rats and ants long ago.
It's not normal here, very abnormal.
There seemed to be some deadly danger lurking in the darkness.
But Xu Ming searched the ruins again, but still found nothing.
The coffin in the photo seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.Xu Ming walked around the Chinese Food Research Institute in the dark, but found nothing except that the whole ruins had become more eerie.
In desperation, Xu Ming walked out of the gate and wandered around the ruins.
There happened to be a small forest behind the Chinese Cuisine Research Institute. Under the night, the small forest also exuded a gloomy and strange atmosphere.
Weird bird calls echoed in the grove, occasionally mixed with the howl of a wild animal.
There was a slight rustling sound, like the friction of wind blowing through leaves, or the sound of insects crawling quickly across the ground.
Xu Ming looked into the woods, all kinds of strange-shaped trees were blown by the wind, the branches swayed, the shadows swayed, and the whole forest seemed to come alive.
Don't know what's hidden in the darkness.
Xu Ming felt a little nervous in his heart, so he quickened his pace and returned to the main entrance, holding his mobile phone while vigilantly watching the movement nearby.
Time passed slowly.
Xu Ming kept sliding his fingers on the phone, but when he looked carefully, he could find that his eyes were completely out of focus, and his mind was not on the phone screen at all.
Xu Ming never forgot Yisehui's advice.
Ji Zhiguo Ningning, who turned into a headless female ghost, planted a curse of resentment on him, and once he returned to Yuanyue Tea House, he would be perceived.
So after dark, Xu Ming always held the camera phone in his hand, ready to give her a 'surprise' at any time.
But what puzzled Xu Ming was that the headless female ghost hadn't appeared until now.
Is it because she only works under a blood moon?Or is it because her grudge marker only lasts for one night?
Xu Ming didn't know. 'Strange' is completely unfamiliar to him.He could only keep reminding himself to be alert at all times.
A gust of cold wind blew, and Xu Ming suddenly realized that there seemed to be an unusual change in his surroundings.
Xu Ming quickly looked at the phone, only to realize that the time on the phone had changed to 11:34 before he knew it.
There is less than half an hour left before the blood moon rises.
There was silence all around, the chirping of birds in the mountains and forests, and the roaring of wild animals also disappeared.
There seems to be some unknown danger hidden in the mountains and forests.
Xu Ming looked up again at the gate of the Chinese Cuisine Research Institute directly opposite.
At this moment, the scorched black door looks like the giant mouth of a monster, silently waiting for the prey to come.
Time passed by every minute, and when the blood moon rose near 12 midnight, the surroundings became more and more silent, and the Chinese food research institute in front of me and the mountains and forests behind me seemed to have become dangerous.
Xu Ming gritted his teeth and decided to enter the Chinese Cuisine Institute a few minutes earlier.
The moment Xu Ming stepped onto the threshold, an inexplicable chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, making him shiver involuntarily.
A certain burnt smell in the air also seemed to grow stronger.
Xu Ming even vaguely heard a strange whimpering sound, but when he listened carefully, he couldn't hear anything.
Suddenly, Xu Ming's body froze suddenly, he stopped, and instantly raised his mobile phone and pointed it in the direction of the front desk in the hall.
Behind the half-burned reception desk, there was an indistinct figure sitting at some point.
Xu Ming quietly turned on the 'night vision' ability while holding his mobile phone.
It's not that he doesn't want to turn on the 'night vision' state anytime and anywhere, but if the 'night vision' state is turned on for a long time, his eyes will appear sore, tearing and other obvious symptoms of overuse of the eyes.
Xu Ming also asked the system about this, and the system told him clearly that this is the price of using supernatural abilities with a mortal body, and there is no way to solve it unless he stops being a human.
The system did everything possible to tempt him to become "weird", Xu Ming scoffed at this.
First of all, the incarnation of "weird" needs to die once, not a curse or a description, but a literal meaning.
Secondly, in the early stage of the "weird" incarnation, he could not enjoy food, sunshine like normal people, and he didn't even have a real body.
A ghost would choose this way.
For this reason, Xu Ming will not easily activate the 'night vision' ability when it is not necessary.
Now, obviously, is the moment of necessity.
After turning on the 'Night Vision' ability, Xu Ming immediately discovered that the figure that suddenly appeared behind the reception desk was actually a paper man!
It is the kind that often appears in the Celestial Dynasty, especially when the rich and noble families are buried. The bamboo strips are used as the skeleton, and the outer skin is pasted with rice paper, which is used to burn the buried dummies.
This paper figurine is wearing a white Chinese tunic suit, with yellow hair, a white face, dark circles for eyes, and a huge semicircle of lips drawn by lipstick, which looks quite funny.
There was no smile on Xu Ming's face.
He went in and out of the Chinese Food Institute three or four times, and he remembered clearly that the reception desk had been empty before, but now there was a weird paper figure?
Holding the phone tightly, Xu Ming walked a dozen steps forward, walked through the front hall and walked to the entrance of the large kitchen.
Xu Ming couldn't help but look back.
The weird paper figurine still sat quietly, without any abnormality.
Xu Ming couldn't help but shudder in his heart.In the darkness, Xu Ming always felt that the paper figurine was staring at him.
Xu Ming touched his pocket subconsciously, but found that he followed the system's instructions and did not carry a lighter. The idea of burning this extremely permeable paper man naturally fell through.
'It's better to be cautious. '
Before the blood moon rose, Xu Ming turned his head and walked back. He knocked the paper figurine to the ground, stomped it flat with his feet, and then used a fruit knife to remove all the bamboo skeletons inside the paper figurine.
After finishing the work, Xu Ming clapped his hands and looked at the scattered paper scraps on the ground with satisfaction.
No matter what kind of trouble you want to make, let's tear you down first.
Xu Ming picked up his phone again and walked into the ruins.
On the ground, the paper figurine's face was torn in two, with a very clear shoe print on it.
With only half of the smile left, it looked even weirder in the darkness.
The only remaining eye of the paper figurine seems to be staring at Xu Ming's back...
Xu Ming walked through the front hall and entered the corridor. At the end of the corridor was a double sliding door with glass. Behind the door was the large kitchen where the students of the Chinese Cuisine Research Institute practice cooking.
Coming to the door, just as Xu Ming was about to open the door, he suddenly heard a strange noise coming from the kitchen.
