Don't play games with sand sculptures

[09:25.AM]

The camera in the cocoon was hung around the neck by Bai Ti, but Ruan Mang did not stop it, perhaps by default, players can use the collected items.

"Are you sure it belongs to me?" Bai Ti asked uncertainly, "Will the NPC chase after the player after picking up the item? It's like the last clown festival."

Ruan Mang glanced at the camera on her chest lightly, and said softly: "If you are afraid, return it to me."

"No!" Bai Ti turned around and hid the camera again.

Ruan Mang shook his head and rolled his eyes, and walked out the door, "I'm going out, you take care of yourself."

"Wait for me." Bai Ti hurriedly followed, fearing that her teammates would leave her behind, "I don't have a guardian, so I can't manage it myself."

"I said you..." Ruan Mang turned his head impatiently, and saw Bai Ti running to her side, grabbed her sleeve, and shook it coquettishly.

Bai Ti put on a flattering face: "My factory manager, please take me with you!"

"Do not..."

"Hey, aren't you coming to work?"

Before Ruan Mang could finish speaking, the NPC staff behind suddenly stopped them, or Bai Ti.

The loom where the employee was working had already woven white cloth more than one meter long. The soft cloth hung on the ground, and some tiny spiders crawled out from the corner, stayed close for a while, and then returned to the corner.

Realizing that the NPC was calling her, Bai Ti had a brain storm for a second, then looked at Ruan Mang, blinked and communicated: What should I say?

Ruan Mang pulled Bai Ti behind him, and smiled at the NCP staff: "No, I'll take her to buy goods, you guys continue."

"Ah?" The NPC employee was obviously stunned, looked at Bai Ti, then at Ruan Mang, and said "Oh", she turned her head and muttered something in a low voice, started the loom again, and started working.

The staff next to him also noticed the situation on Bai Ti's side. Everyone's expressions changed, either worried or fearful. Under Ruan Mang's calm gaze, they all lowered their heads and continued to work.

Looking away, Ruan Mang took Bai Ti and left the factory.

Bai Ti obediently led Ruan Mang, but couldn't help turning her head curiously, and unexpectedly found that all the NCP employees were looking at her, with inexplicable emotions in their eyes, like fear and excitement.

"Guess how many days she can live?"

I don't know who brought up this topic.

The employees looked at each other and lowered their heads again, but no one answered.

After leaving the factory, Ruan Mang took off his mask and led Bai Ti to the city center.

The road was a little desolate, just like when we came here, there were no cicadas, no birds, and no living creatures.

"The factory needs to buy goods every day." Ruan Mang said as he walked, "This is a suburb, and there are a lot of bugs at night. We have equipped each dormitory with insect repellent stickers and realgar spray. If it is not possible, there is also incense. … How did you sleep last night?"

"last night?"

As soon as last night was mentioned, the bite wound on Bai Ti's neck began to ache. She subconsciously reached out to touch it, but was blocked by a cold hand, no accident it was Ruan Mang.

Ruan Mang took Bai Ti's hand and said, "Your wound is inflamed, don't touch it with your hands."

"Don't touch it with your hands, but chew it with your mouth?"

"..."

Meeting Bai Ti's sincere eyes, Ruan Mang stuck a word in his throat and held back abruptly.She changed the sentence and jumped off the topic: "Have you had breakfast? The factory doesn't provide meals, so you have to solve it yourself."

"I'm not hungry." Bai Ti shook her head, picked up the camera and pointed it at Ruan Mang: "Tell me, is watermelon sweet?"

Ruan Mang: "..."

Ruan Mang made a silent comparison.

It looks like taking a photo, but actually viewing the video in the camera.

Bai Ti simply took a photo as a disguise, then pretended to filter through the photos, and clicked on the video album.There are a total of more than a dozen videos in the album, most of which cannot be played, and the system displays: Not enough memory.

Ruan Mang saw her thoughts and didn't expose her.

She approached Bai Ti, lowered her head and watched the video saved in the camera with her. The video was a segment of darkness for more than a minute, and only the panting sound of people running could be heard when the sound was amplified.

[Video content: Something is walking in the darkness, piece by piece, densely packed.

In addition to human panting, there are also the rattling sound of something crawling and electronic noise.

The picture changed in the middle, a woman's face, her face was stained with a lot of black and gray, and there were some tiny red spots, she looked very flustered, as if she was avoiding something. ]

"I'm an employee of the News Agency, codenamed 'Turnflower'."

"This is my fifth night in the textile factory, and I've encountered a lot of spiders, and I've seen spiders crawling into the looms, and they're running the looms."

"The white yarn flowing from here to the market is all made of spider silk."

"These spiders are being bred and they don't eat the flesh of living things, but congregating will kill living creatures."

"I hope that people who see this video can escape smoothly. The way to escape is to avoid spiders and turn off... ah!"

'patta'

[The screen falls rapidly and falls to the ground.

Team leader Ruan Xiao picked up the camera and turned off the video. ]

Seeing the last face, Bai Ti turned off the video silently, raised her head to look into the distance, and said expressionlessly: "Ah, why is it getting dark all of a sudden, Ruanmangmang, why don't you turn on the light?"

Ruan Mang didn't speak, took the camera from Bai Ti's hand, deleted all the videos in twos and then put it back in Bai Ti's hand.She showed a faint smile: "Miss Bai, can you see it now?"

"Doctor Ruan is really rejuvenating!" Bai Ti exaggeratedly took Ruan Mang's hand and shook it up and down excitedly: "The eyes of Ai Jia who have been blind for more than 20 years finally see the light again!"

Ruan Mang: "..."

Ruan Mang pushed away Bai Ti's hand, and left without looking back.

Seeing this, Bai Ti stretched out her hand towards Ruan Mang's back, and exaggeratedly shouted: "Brother! Don't leave me alone, I'm afraid——!"

"Get out——!!!"

Ruan Mang turned back and roared unbearably, his eyes turned red.

For a moment, Bai Ti shut up.

After a while, Bai Ti dawdled to Ruan Mang's side, pulled her sleeves, and said in a low voice, "Ma Ma said, pink eye disease is contagious, we'd better keep a distance."

Ruan Mang: "..."

Ruan Mang smiled and took off his shoes.

Bai Ti let go of Ruan Mang's sleeves, and ran away without looking back, shouting as she ran: "You are alive! The fairy beat someone!!"

Ruan Mang: "..."

At this time, the red spider crawled out from Ruan Mang's collar, crawled along the orange-red hair to the top of her head, waved its front legs at Bai Ti, moved its small mouth, and cursed again.

Red Spider: @#￥%&*...

Perhaps sensing its scolding, Bai Ti turned her head abruptly, pointed at the red spider and shouted: "If you scold me again, I'll sleep with your master!"

Starscream: ...?

Red Spider: @#￥%&*...! ! !

Ruan Mang: "..."

Ruan Mang sighed softly, weighed the shoe in his hand, and threw it at Bai Ti unexpectedly, hitting his forehead.

"what……"

After a muffled 'pop', Bai Ti lay dead.

There is only one main street in the center of the town, and the stalls are similar to night markets in the real world.The only pharmacy store is still open, and several daily necessities stores next door have opened to welcome customers.

Going further inside, several scattered fabric stores are also preparing to open.

Ruan Mang first stopped at the entrance of the pharmacy for a while, and then went to the fabric shop.Bai Ti followed behind, carefully observing the contents of the storefronts on the street, and did not run around.

"Welcome, do you two need customization?"

Entering the fabric store, the clerk greeted them with a smile and introduced the fabrics in the store to the two customers: "Our store can customize curtains, bed sheets, and sofa covers, etc."

Ruan Mang stood at the door without going in, and asked directly, "Is there any white gauze?"

"Bai... gauze?" The clerk's smile froze, but he quickly reacted, resumed his official smile, shook his head and said, "Sorry, we don't sell white gauze in our store, you can go to other stores to have a look. If you take the liberty to ask, do you buy white gauze?" what does yarn do?"

Bai Ti looked at Ruan Mang curiously. There was a mention of "Bai Sha" in the system background, which was the background of the mission.

Ruan Mang smiled, pointed to Bai Ti beside him with his thumb, and said, "My friend is getting married, and I'm looking for a veil. I heard that there are white veils as thin as cicada's wings here, so come and have a look."

The clerk didn't seem to believe it, and looked at Bai Ti with probing eyes.

Ruan Mang pinched Bai Ti's lower back silently.

hiss!Bai Ti gasped, suppressed the uncivilized words forcibly, and squeezed out a smile: "Yes, I'm getting married next month, and I asked my friend to accompany me to find the veil. My marriage partner is very particular about these things."

She turned to look at Ruan Mang: "You say yes, my dear."

"Don't force me to slap you in broad daylight!" Ruan Mang sneered.

"Hey!" Bai Ti entered the scene in a second, "You are killing me!!"

Ruan Mang: "..."

The clerk looked around, seemed to understand something, and blushed slightly: "If you get married, I suggest that you two change to other fabrics. The white gauze has been a little sensitive recently, and it has been placed in... the sacrificial supplies store. It is best not to use it for living people. "

"Why?" Bai Ti asked, "Is it because the businessmen are superstitious?"

"...No." The smile on the clerk's face could no longer hold back, "The two of you can't be reporters, right? The reporters who came to our town some time ago have disappeared, you'd better give up investigating that matter."

"What's the matter?"

At this time, two more people came in from outside the store.

Tao Zhi and Xie Ziqi stood one behind the other.

Xie Zixi held the camera on his chest, while Tao Zhi walked up to Ruan Mang, looked at the clerk, and smiled harmlessly: "Miss, can you tell us about the reporter's disappearance? We are a university supernatural club." student, there is a column that needs to be filled, please help~"

Ruan Mang avoided it calmly, and Bai Ti pulled her to go out, but the other party grabbed her by the wrist and led her out of the store, heading towards the pharmacy.

Xie Ziqi took a few steps back, exited the store, and silently watched the actions of Ruan and Bai. After meeting Bai Ti's gaze, she smiled at them, turned her head, and walked into the store again.

"Sorry, I'm only responsible for recommending products." The clerk put on a professional smirk, "If you two don't want to customize products, please do it yourself."

"It's okay, excuse me." Tao Zhi smiled, looked back at Xie Ziqi, and smiled at the shop assistant again: "Then can I ask, where can I buy white gauze? There is no supernatural news, and it is not easy to find similar items." OK, I can... order a set."

She said, pointing to the expensive-looking white window screen hanging on the wall.

Shop clerk: "..."

The clerk hesitated for a while and smiled: "Hello, cash or virtual currency?"

Tao Zhi took out the game card from her pocket and said with a smile, "Swipe the card."

……

At ten o'clock, the pharmacy opened.

Bai Ti stood next to the cash register, looking at Ruan Mang and the medical shopping guide who were chatting outside the warehouse, pulling her braids in boredom.The pinch of orange in her hair was dyed before she entered the game.

Follow her idea: couple hair color (blush.jpg).

After a short chat, the medical shopping guide took out a box of white spray bottles from the warehouse and put them in Ruan Mang's hands, and said something else.

Ruan Mang just nodded with no expression on his face.

Bai Ti was far away, so she couldn't hear what they said clearly. She only heard a few key words: spider, bug, be careful, reporter, and she didn't quite understand the combination of key words.

Is it...

Spiders eat bugs, save the reporter?

Bai Ti: Shocked.jpg

Ruan Mang came over with the box in his arms, and lightly touched Bai Ti with his arm: "Let's go."

"Ah?" Bai Ti was stunned for a moment, then followed after reacting: "Wait for me."

After turning around to confirm that Bai Ti followed, Ruan Mang took out two spray bottles with the words "realgar" on them from the box and handed them to Bai Ti, saying, "There are not many in stock, so save some."

"Thank you." Bai Ti took the spray, and naturally reached out to take out two more bottles from the box, and put them directly into her pocket.Facing Ruan Mang's shocked eyes, she smiled embarrassedly: "I got it for my partner."

As she spoke, she poked Ruan Mang's arm: "Yes, my dear."

For a moment, Ruan Mang wanted to spray the "marriage partner" in front of him to death.

She has money and can afford ICU.
