I became a system virus

The middle-aged woman who had just walked to the front yard was wearing a plain ivory-white kimono, with gentle and beautiful features. She was the owner of the house, Mieko.

Suddenly seeing Fatty's white fat body and a little red in the middle, the mistress's mouth twitched uncontrollably, her expression almost tensed.

Seeing her standing in the corridor, the fat man ignored everyone's hot-eyed expressions, walked towards her in flip-flops, and asked in a very polite tone: "Excuse me, are you the owner of this place?"

Mieko nodded and said softly, "Yes."

Fatty: "I want to borrow a suit of clothes. Do you have men's clothes here?"

Mieko said: "Please wait a moment."

After she left, everyone started talking in low voices.

Someone said: "Eat the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard, dare to borrow something from an NPC, isn't it a death?"

Fatty turned a blind eye.

At this moment, Takano came in from the outside, dragging a puppy on his feet, with a yellowish-white coat, it looked like a Shiba Inu.

The little guy purred angrily, biting his trousers tightly, as if he had a grudge against him.

Gao Ye: "How did you become such a bear?"

The fat man spread his hands, showing an expression that you understand.

Later Mieko came out holding a set of clothes.

The fat man thought it was a kimono or something, but it turned out to be a sports suit.

He said thank you, put it on immediately, and it fit me perfectly.

The Shiba Inu was raised by Mieko, seeing it biting a guest, she was quite embarrassed and said: "Sorry, I have caused you trouble." Immediately greeted, "Chai Chai, come here."

Hearing her greeting, the puppy ran towards her in a chubby way, very chubby and very cute.

Many people came in one after another in the front yard, and there was a familiar face. The fat man asked in surprise, "Wu Yue?"

Seeing him and Gao Ye, Wu Yue immediately stepped forward excitedly and said, "Are you here too?" After a pause, "Where's Jiang Han, is he there?"

Fatty: "He came, but he didn't see anyone."

Yi Qiubai was unlucky and lost his way.

Obviously the courtyard in front of him is very close at hand, but he is in a fog.

The surrounding silent mountains and forests are green and gloomy, and there are bursts of moist smoke from time to time.

The fresh air is tinged with coldness, pouring into the chest cavity, refreshing.

Right now, he can't find a way out, so Yi Qiubai simply turns back.

Not long after walking, a figure suddenly appeared on the side of the road.

The man was holding a red oil-paper umbrella, wearing a moon-white kimono, with long hair reaching his waist.

She stood there quietly, with a pretty face and a slim figure, she looked like a young girl.

Yi Qiubai was stunned.

In the smoky blue mountains, a girl holding an oil-paper umbrella suddenly appeared. The scene was extremely strange.

Yi Qiubai instinctively thought of the situation where he was entrusted by the Queen of Spades.

Without any hesitation, he turned around and left.

The girl with the red umbrella watched him leave without speaking or chasing him.

The drizzle gradually became heavier, and Yi Qiubai walked forward with his head depressed.

At the same time, there were already 13 players gathered in the courtyard.

People stood in corridors or under pavilions in twos and threes to shelter from the rain.

Seeing the rain and fog getting heavier, the fat man frowned and said, "Brother Ye, why hasn't Jiang Han come here yet? Is there something wrong with him?"

Takano didn't speak, but looked thoughtfully at Fatty's sportswear, and then looked at Mieko who was warmly entertaining the players.

"Go and borrow something from me."

Fatty: "???"

Gao Ye: "Borrow that dog for use."

Fatty: "..."

Now that the boss had spoken, the fat man had no choice but to salivate and go to Mieko to borrow the dog.

Fortunately, Mieko was very generous and tied up the puppy carefully and led it to him.

The fat man thanked again and again, and brought the Shiba Inu over.

Gao Ye took it casually, then took off the bamboo hat hanging in the corridor, and walked into the rain and fog.

Everyone watched his actions without saying a word.

Some players looked at Mieko calmly.

Mieko said in a worried tone: "It seems that a friend has lost his way." After finishing speaking, she put her hands together, closed her eyes and said reverently, "I hope the mountain god can bless him to return safely."

Hearing the word "Mountain God", everyone showed bad emotions.

Wu Yue couldn't help asking: "What is a mountain god?"

Mieko pointed to the corner of the gate.

A few stones were used to build a simple shed there, and a few long-extinguished incense sticks were inserted on the ground, and the inside was so empty.

"The mountain god ran away this morning, and I have to go to the mountain temple to invite him back tomorrow. It can keep the house safe."

Despite Mieko's gentle words and generous hospitality, people still resist the cold tea and pastries she brings out.

Whether it was an illusion or other reasons, they always felt that the whole courtyard was deserted.

There is no smoke, let alone freshness, and it is wet everywhere, as if the pores are filled with sticky moisture.

Suddenly there was a dog barking outside, Gao Ye led the Shiba Inu around a corner, and saw Yi Qiubai circling around a bluestone slab with a satisfied smirk on his face.

Even though he was drenched, he didn't know it.

Realizing that he might be haunted by something, Takano shouted: "188!"

That voice pierced into his ears abruptly, Yi Qiubai stopped in a daze, with a silly and cute expression, not knowing why.

The little things at the feet quickly spread out.

The Shiba Inu barked wildly and ran up to catch up, while the group of little mushroom-shaped things babbled and fled away.

Yi Qiubai came back to his senses, and when he saw Gao Ye, the fragmented memories gradually joined together.

He tugged at his stiff face from laughing, and asked in confusion, "What happened to me just now?"

Takano: "You're going around in circles."

Yi Qiubai: "???"

Takano: "Like a poor, helpless and weak squeamish."

Yi Qiubai: "..."

Now Takano has finally brought back his squeamishness.

Yi Qiubai on the road said that he saw many villains surrounding him just now.

Gao Ye said: "You have hallucinations, I only see you spinning around."

Yi Qiubai: "Doesn't he look stupid?"

Takano: "No, it's pretty cute."

Yi Qiubai: "..."

Seeing them coming back, Mei Huizi said happily: "Thank God, the mountain god blesses you to return safely."

Takano returned the Shiba Inu and thanked him politely.

The fat man went to borrow a suit of clothes for Yi Qiubai to wear.

Wu Yue stepped forward to ask questions and reminisce with them.

Seeing that it was getting late, Mieko went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Only a few minutes later, the long table in the dining room was filled with exquisite food, such as green balls, Qingming fruit, cold noodles, porridge and so on.

All food is cold.

Everyone looked at the table full of dishes with different expressions.

One of the girls asked curiously, "Is there no hot food?"

Mieko said slightly apologetically, "I'm really sorry, it's the Cold Food Festival, during which fire is prohibited."

Someone sneezed, "Does that mean you can't make a fire during this time?"

Mieko: "Yes, fire is banned during the Cold Food Festival, and you can't start a fire to cook or light a lamp until the 'renew fire' five days later."

Everyone was silent.

The fat man asked, "Are we going to stay here for five days?"

Mieko nodded, "Five days later it will be 'Invite a New Fire', there will be a sacrificial ceremony that day, everyone can leave after attending the sacrificial ceremony."

Fire ban, five days, sacrifice, etc., many keywords were extracted by the players.

Seeing everyone's silence, Mieko asked patiently: "Do you have any questions? If not, then we can have dinner."

Gao Ye sat down on the chair first, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

When everyone saw him move, they sat down one after another.

The food was cold but tasted good.

The fat man has a good appetite, and he ate several foods in succession. Most of them tasted sweet, or the original flavor of the ingredients, but none of the foods were salty.

Wu Yue whispered: "It's strange, is there a lack of salt here?"

Fatty: "Yes, there are all kinds of flavors, except that there is no salty taste."

The rain and fog outside were getting heavier, pattering and falling on the roof with a loud sound.

Some people have a bad appetite and go out without taking a few bites.

At some point by the wall of the front yard stood a girl holding an oil-paper umbrella.

She stood there like a log, her face was so pale that there was no blood, and she had no expression.

The patter of rain wet the corners of her clothes, but she didn't know it.

Some players were taken aback and rushed into the dining room, saying in astonishment, "Ghost, there is a ghost!"

When everyone heard that there was a ghost, they all stood up and rushed to the front yard.

A flash of bright red caught everyone's eyes unexpectedly.

Under the exquisite classic oil-paper umbrella, she has a slender figure, a small face as big as a palm, and a beautiful and beautiful face, and her jet-black and smooth hair flutters gently in the cold wind.

She just stood there so quietly, blending into the whole continuous rainy day.

The darkened sky, fine rain and fog, and the quiet courtyard look like a painting from a distance.

Although the whole picture scroll is simple and elegant, it is a bit rigid.

But the strong bright red is like the finishing touch, making the scene look lifelike, and even the characters have souls.

Yi Qiubai's eyelids twitched for no reason, "I've seen her before."

Takano: "???"

Yi Qiubai: "It's kind of evil."

At this moment, Mieko came out of the dining room curiously and asked, "Why don't you eat?"

Seeing the girl standing in the front yard, Mieko explained to everyone: "I'm so sorry, this is my daughter Natsuno. She has a weird temperament and may do some strange things. Just ignore her."

Everyone: "..."

daughter?

Believe in you!

Wu Yue tentatively said: "It's raining so heavily, how can she stand in the rain all the time, let her come in."

Mieko said meaningfully: "Xia Ye won't enter the house. If she comes in, everyone will probably have to live outside." After a pause, "The mountains are very uneven recently, there are always some strange things coming and going, presumably Everyone doesn't want to live outside, right?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

The atmosphere suddenly fell into an eerie silence, only the sound of the rain splashing down.

Gao Ye broke the silence and asked, "It's getting late, is there any room arrangement?"

Mieko smiled and said, "Yes, please follow me."

Everyone followed her to the back yard.

The yard is very large and it is combined in the form of a quadrangle, with four rooms arranged on each corridor.

At the top of the corridor hang upside down bright red oil-paper umbrellas, with exquisite patterns of women drawn on them, which look dreamy and weird.

Yi Qiubai looked up, somehow, he always felt that those women were alive.

Although the room is small, it is furnished warmly.

It's just that there is a huge portrait posted in every room.

The girl in the painting is holding an oil-paper umbrella in the rain and mist, as if looking into the distance, and seems to be meditating, exactly the same as the one standing in the front yard.

Mieko said that two people share a room, and the rooms with signs can be used for occupants, while the rest of the rooms without signs cannot be used for occupants.

Some players asked curiously: "There are so many rooms, why can't people live in those without a sign?"

Mieko: "Rules."

Everyone looked at each other.

People began to freely match and find rooms, and finally Gao Ye and Yi Qiubai were left, Fatty and Wu Yue were not settled.

Wu Yue said: "Fatty, why don't we share a room together."

Fatty: "I'm a man, aren't you afraid of me?"

Wu Yue: "I'm not afraid of the living, I'm only afraid of ghosts."

Fatty: "..."

They lived in the room with "Autumn" hanging on it, and Gao Ye and Yi Qiubai lived in the room with "Lan" hanging on it.

Night falls.

The sky was completely plunged into darkness.

Fire is banned during the Cold Food Festival, so there are no oil lamps indoors.

Fortunately, the oil-paper umbrella in the corridor outside suddenly lit up.

They are like lanterns, exuding a dim light, so that people will not be blind.

Yi Qiubai stood at the head of the bed, seemingly hesitating whether to lie down or not.

Gao Ye had already been lying flat, seeing him standing there, he lowered his voice and said, "Go to sleep."

Yi Qiubai looked at him, although they were of the same sex, he always felt that Gao Ye's aura was dangerous, not to mention that he had no habit of sharing the same bed with others.

Gao Ye sat up and asked coldly, "Are you afraid of me?"

Yi Qiubai said stiffly, "Why should I be afraid of you?"

Gao Ye: "Then come and sleep." After a pause, "It's not like I haven't slept before."

Yi Qiubai: "???"

What?

Realizing that he was losing his mind, Gao Ye pointed to the dark night outside and said, "The moon is really big tonight."

Yi Qiubai: "..."

Big brother, can you open your eyes before telling nonsense?

After thinking about it, Wu Yue next door was not afraid of the fat man, but he was also afraid of a ball, so he simply sat on the bed and lay down.

Gao Ye didn't do anything to him, and soon fell asleep.

Perhaps his steady breathing had a hypnotic effect, and Yi Qiubai lay on the side and fell into a deep sleep.

Mo Yue arrived at midnight, and I don't know if it was a delusion or something else, Yi Qiubai faintly felt his neck itchy, as if someone was blowing on his ear.

Opening his eyes in a daze, a figure stood beside the bed.

Yi Qiubai thought it was Gao Ye who got up in the middle of the night, but after seeing the other party's face clearly, he couldn't help being stunned.

When did Wu Yue come in?

Just as she was confused, Wu Yue's neck suddenly stretched out like noodles.

"Fuck!"

Yi Qiubai woke up most of his doze.
