don't you have a wife of your own

His last words were spoken very softly, and Ji Chuanyuejian couldn't hear clearly.She looked at Xia Youjie suspiciously: "Did Mr. Xia You say something just now?"

Xia Youjie smiled: "No, did you hear wrong?"

Oi Chuanyuejian was puzzled for a while, and soon stopped worrying about this question.Although she was frightened by the crocodile that suddenly jumped out just now, after regaining her senses, she still lay on the railing with unconcealed curiosity, and subconsciously tiptoed slightly to see the crocodile inside the glass cover.

The crocodile that had just jumped over hadn't completely sank yet, and a small half of its head and orange eyes popped out on the swamp level, looking at them coldly with vertical pupils.I don't know if it was Xia Youjie's delusion, but he always felt that the crocodile looked at them with a trace of resentment and indifference for no reason.

Such humanized eyes appear in the vertical pupils of animals, which makes people feel a little creepy.

Suddenly, Oi Chuanyuejian held her arms with both hands, lightly moved her shoulders, and whispered, "Why hasn't Saeko come back yet?"

Only then did Xia Youjie realize that Saeko had been away for too long, at least ten minutes.He said, "I'll go see if she's in trouble."

Oi Chuanyuejian slightly tilted his head and said softly, "Then I'll wait for you here."

Seeing that she didn't intend to go look for Saeko with him, Xia Youjie felt that something was wrong.But he didn't force Ji Chuanyuejian to act with him, and after saying goodbye to Ji Chuanyuejian, he walked towards the water fetching area.

The water fetching area is outside the crocodile house, and Xia Youjie was thinking as he walked out: Although Saeko took good care of Oi Chuanyuejian, even a little too flattering, but Oi Chuanyuejian's reaction was... a little cold.It seems that to her, Saeko is just a dispensable person, whether she has or not is the same.

Are there unequal relationships between them?

Suddenly, he shivered and felt cold.Xia Youjie looked up and found that the power of the air conditioner above his head was turned on very high; he suddenly remembered that Chuan Yuejian had hugged his arms and shrugged slightly before. Was it because she felt the coldness of the air conditioner that she did it? Made such an action?

[Player has an inspiration]

The sound of the dice falling to the ground, but after spinning for a while, there was no response.

Although the dark dice will not announce the result, Xia Youjie can also guess that this 'inspiration' must have failed.He was not frustrated, and continued to follow the previous train of thought——

The "inspiration" was because I thought of Oi Chuan Yuejian's movement of fearing the cold just now... Maybe it's because there are more other meanings in this movement.For example, does being afraid of the cold represent a certain characteristic?

Afraid of the cold?

Features that are sensitive to temperature?

It's a pity that the inspiration did not pass, and Xia Youjie's several guesses could not be confirmed.He decided to try it out when he had a chance, and at the same time stepped up and left the crocodile house.

There is no air conditioning outside the museum, and the high temperature in summer is in stark contrast to the cold air inside.Xia Youjie found the water fetching area, but he didn't see Saeko.

In the water fetching area, there are only two staff chatting in the shadows.

Xia Youjie walked towards the two staff members and spoke to them: "Hello—excuse me, I want to ask if you have seen a girl with white shoulder-length hair who is about this tall?"

"She is my companion, and she just came to fetch water, but I haven't waited for her to come back, and I am a little worried about her."

One of the staff members looked up at Xia Youjie; his face shape was very strange, and Xia Youjie couldn't describe what kind of face it was, it was a bit...too flat.

Not only the shape of the face, the entire head of this staff member is flatter than normal, and the facial features are ridiculously crowded on the narrow and long face.

He looked Xia Youjie up and down, and said softly after a while: "I've seen that girl, she didn't turn on the switch when she fetched water, and the warm water splashed on her clothes, she should change in the dressing room now."

Xia Youjie: "I see, thank you."

"Can I ask again, where is the locker room?"

The staff pointed to the opposite wall impatiently: "There is a floor plan of the aquarium over there, just go and see for yourself."

Xia Youjie thanked him politely as usual, then walked to the floor plan and stopped to check.

There are two floor plans in total, which are drawn in great detail.The above is a normal floor plan of the aquarium, marking the location of each area.The next one is the floor plan of the drainage system. The lines on it are intricate and complicated, which can make non-professional intensive phobia attack on the spot at a glance.

[Player has an education]

The sound of the dice was spinning, and the gentle voice of the system sounded: [You feel that the floor plan of the drainage system seems to be slightly different from the drainage systems of other aquariums you have visited, but you cannot judge the difference between them with your current knowledge. 】

Xia Youjie: "..."

This wave, this wave is a problem of insufficient education.

The two staff members glanced over from time to time, and Xia Youjie asked: [Can I take this drainage system plan under the nose of the staff? 】

System: [Need to pass a difficult hand, if you fail, you will be expelled from the aquarium immediately, and the game will be automatically judged to be over. 】

Xia Youjie thought for a moment and gave up on this decision.He had seen his 'skillful hand' before, it was not high.

Now if you are kicked out of the aquarium, you won't be able to experience any plots, so let's go to Saeko first.

According to the instructions of the floor plan, Xia Youjie arrived at the door of the dressing room without much effort.

There is no distinction between men and women in the locker room, and there is a small metal sign hanging on the door.Inside are compartments one by one.

Xia Youjie stood at the door and said, "Saeko? Saeko, are you in there?"

Strangely, there was no reply from inside.He frowned, went in and knocked on the compartment doors one by one, calling out Saeko's name every time he knocked, but no one responded.

Knocking until the last door, Xia Youjie noticed that the door was locked from the inside; all the knocks before him were unlocked, and he could tell that there was no one behind the door with a light push.

But this door was different, it was locked.

Xia Youjie tried, and pushed the door slightly harder: "Saeko? Saeko, are you inside the door?"

No one responded, he looked around, and there was no staff near the locker room.Xia Youjie simply took two steps back, took a deep breath, twisted his waist, raised his leg, and kicked hard on the door!

The door of the locker room was an ordinary wooden door, and when he kicked it with all his strength, it was easily opened.

When the door was kicked open, it was facing inward, and the situation in the dressing room was nakedly exposed to Xia Youjie's eyes: the four walls and the floor were covered with spattered blood, Saeko sat up and leaned against the wall of the dressing room On the top, it was cut open in a line from the neck to the abdomen.

But her chest and abdomen were empty, and all internal organs were gone.

[Player spends one sanity, sc11d41]

[Player Xia Youjie fell into a temporary state of madness.Temporary madness symptoms are

1d10=7

Symptoms: Escape behavior: The investigator will use any means to try to escape from the current location, and the state lasts for half an hour. 】

An indescribable sense of panic gripped Xia Youjie's mind.He knew that he should stay and search for clues that might be left at the scene, but his body went against his reason, and he climbed up to the nearest window without hesitation and went straight out of the dressing room!

His reason seemed to be separated from his body. When Xia Youjie came to his senses, he had run to nowhere, his body slightly arched and his knees propped up to pant.

It wasn't until he escaped from the locker room that Xia Youjie felt that his heart was no longer beating against his throat and going crazy.He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, his fingers felt a large amount of cold sweat.

I don't know how this game is done. The crazy fear and nausea made Xia Youjie feel like he was dreaming of the scene where the magic spirit was devouring.

Kind of disgusting.

After he regained his strength, he felt a bit of coolness belatedly, raised his head and looked around, Xia Youjie saw the familiar air conditioner above his head: he ran around, and came back to the crocodile house for no reason.

That's strange, so the crocodile hall and the locker room are next to each other?

Xia Youjie recalled the floor plan of the aquarium he had seen before: He escaped from the window of the dressing room... If he came around from the back of the dressing room—indeed, the crocodile hall was the nearest entrance.

Temporary madness has a half-hour limit. Within half an hour, I can no longer explore the locker room. I have to find a way to make others notice the situation in the locker room——

The strange thing is that the staff in the crocodile hall seem to have disappeared at this moment.Xia Youjie circled around, but failed to find the staff of the crocodile house, but saw Ji Chuanyuejian who was obediently waiting beside the railing of the crocodile house.

She still maintained the posture when she left, with her arms folded and pressed against the railing, staring intently at the inside of the crocodile house.

Xia Youjie walked towards Ji Chuanyuejian quickly, and at the same time followed her gaze to scan the swamp.In the swamp separated by a layer of glass, the calmness of the past has returned, and the crocodile that hit the glass before has disappeared.

Ji Chuanyue turned her head to look at Xia Youjie, she looked past Xia Youjie, looked at the empty back of the young man, and asked in a daze, "Where is Saeko?"

Xia Youjie originally wanted to tell Oi Chuanyuejian what he saw in the locker room, but just as he recalled the scene related to Saeko's corpse in his mind, an unspeakable sense of fear suddenly enveloped all his rationality, and his stomach writhed Convulsed, he couldn't help but rushed to the trash can and vomited.

Because he didn't eat, Xia Youjie vomited for a long time, but he only spit out some sour water, and his throat and nasal cavity were acrid and sour.

Immediately, someone patted his back gently, and next to his ear was the girl's worried and gentle voice: "Are you all right? Do you want some water?"

Ji Chuanyuejian unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Xia Youjie, looking at him worriedly with honey-colored eyes.Xia Youjie took the water bottle and rinsed his mouth, smiled wryly: "Thank you..."

After rinsing his mouth, the soreness in his mouth became much lighter. Xia Youjie squatted down covering his abdomen, and Ji Chuanyuejian also squatted down next to him, and asked in a low voice, "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want to take medicine?"

Xia Youjie declined her kindness: "It's okay, I'll just take a rest..."

At this time, a staff member pushing a garbage truck approached the two and asked, "Does this gentleman need help?"

Ji Chuanyue raised his head, frowned and said, "He's not feeling well, can you help us find a place with a higher air-conditioning temperature to rest?"

The staff glanced sideways at the air conditioner not far away, and suddenly realized: "Oh, do you have air conditioning symptoms? Yes, come with me to the lounge. The temperature of the air conditioner over there is relatively high."

"In order to take care of the environment of the crocodiles, the air conditioner in the crocodile hall has been kept at a very low level."

Ji Chuanyuejian stretched out a hand to Xia Youjie and helped him up from the ground.This action brought the distance between the two of them much closer, but Xia Youjie didn't put all his weight on Oi Chuan Yuejian.

He put his arm on He Chuanyuejian's shoulder vaguely, and felt awkward when putting it on - because he was so close, as long as Xia Youjie lowered his eyes slightly, he could see the black leather strip on He Chuanyuejian's neck choker.

Her skin is very fair, which contrasts sharply with the black choker.

The choker is made of leather, and there is a small decorative lock on the buckle, which is a bit similar to sex toys.However, this kind of thing was worn around Oi Chuanyuejian's neck, and it looked more like the little girl randomly picked an accessory to match the denim skirt, without any sexual implication.

"Here, here is the lounge."

The staff took the two to the studio and left.

Oi Chuanyuejian helped Xia Youjie sit down on the sofa in the studio, then picked up the remote control on the table and turned up the temperature of the air conditioner.

The temperature of the studio is indeed a little higher than that of the crocodile house, and it is more comfortable to stay in it.

Oi Chuanyuejian put down the remote control after adjusting the temperature, and said to himself: "Why hasn't Saeko come back yet—I need to send her a message and tell her we'll wait for her in the lounge..."

As soon as Xia Youjie heard Saeko's name, he couldn't restrain his nausea, and his stomach that had just recovered began to convulse again.He covered his mouth and retched twice, vomited until tears were about to flow out.

Ji Chuanyue realized that Xia Youjie seemed to want to vomit again, and quickly moved closer to pat him on the back.

Xia Youjie arched his waist, put his hands on his knees, his eyes were dark red, and there were physiological tears in his eyes.With Oi Chuan Yuejian's soothing pat, a few tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

After Xia Youjie's movements, the originally tied ball head was a little messed up. The black forehead hair hung down in a mess, and the red eyes and slightly trembling eyelashes between the hair gaps looked extraordinarily fragile.

In order to pat him on the back, Oi Chuanyue Jian half-kneeled on the sofa with one leg bent.She lowered her eyes and saw Xia Youjie's curved neck, the collar of the loose jacket was also very large, along the neck to the back, the first joint of the spine protruding slightly, and some untied, scattered on the neck, sweaty black hair.

Ji Chuanyue blinked, then suddenly raised her hand, and lightly pressed her fingers on the first joint of Xia Youjie's spine.

Through a layer of scorching skin, the shape of the bone trembled slightly under her fingertips.

Xia Youjie let out a 'huh', raised his head in a daze, looked at Ji Chuanyuejian in doubt: "...what are you doing?"

Ji Chuanyuejian twirled a strand of hair as if nothing had happened, pushed it away, and said, "Your hair is stuck to your neck, I'll help you remove it."
