Someone was lying outside the door, watching them.

Zhong Qi squinted his eyes, lifted his leg and kicked the door, the wooden door just closed screamed "creak creak" and stopped the old housekeeper who was bending over and going down the stairs in front of him.

Zhong Qi, who has watched countless horror movies, knows how much psychological pressure the old man's gaze can bring to people, but he is not afraid of anything, and wants to smash the terrifying atmosphere deliberately created by the old man.

So Zhong Qi raised his chin, folded his arms around his chest, put on a master's posture, and ordered: "Get me a bucket of hot water, I want to take a bath."

The old butler whose half body merged with the night did not reply for a long time.

Zhong Qi showed some displeasure between his brows, "Be quick, do you greet guests like this?"

Only then did the old housekeeper turn around stiffly, his eyes were still cloudy and sharp, but Zhong Qi ignored him and still looked arrogant.

The two confronted each other for a while, and the old butler slowly looked away, as if he was a little unwilling to answer: "Wait a moment, I will arrange it for you."

Zhong Qi then closed the door.

Bai Cheng was resting at the table, Zhong Qi came over with pockets in his hands, took the tea he handed over, and drank it down in one gulp.

Bai Cheng said: "You don't look like a tailor, but like a warlord."

"I just see them upset." Zhong Qi said with a smile: "I was drawn into this world for no reason, and there must be a price to pay."

"The price you mean is to let them serve you?"

"Not only." Zhong Qi shook his head, "These are all basic, we have plenty of ways to toss them."

It sounded like a young and frivolous brat was exaggerating, but Bai Cheng smiled lightly, as if he was looking forward to it.

The water delivery man came back and forth and finally filled the bucket. After Zhong Qi asked people to step back, he politely asked, "Are you first or me first?"

Bai Cheng made a "please" gesture, he decisively dropped the melon seeds and began to undress.

Both of them were men in the room, so Zhong Qi didn't even think about blocking him. He took off while walking, and quickly stripped himself naked.His whole body was soaked in the barrel, only his head was above the water, and then he let out a long sigh of satisfaction.

"The height of the barrel is more comfortable than the bathtub. I'll get one when I get back."

From the corner of his eye, Bai Cheng got up and closed the door, took off his coat, and washed his face with the water from the washbasin next to him.

Seeing this, Zhong Qi asked, "Why are you closing the door? Don't you want to change the water?"

This Bai Cheng was wiping his face, and his muffled voice came through the towel, "No, I'll just wash up."

Everyone said so, Zhong Qi didn't force it.

He moved his butt up and rested his head on the edge of the barrel, but his target was staring at the double-opening old-fashioned wooden door.

"Is there anything special about the door facing outward?"

"Yes." Bai Cheng explained while wiping his hands, "Feng Shui has a certain emphasis on the opening direction of the door. In most cases, the door of the house should face inward. It is unlucky to open outwards, and it is easy to send away the auspicious energy in the house.But most of the time the door is opened inside so as not to occupy the public space. "

"It's true in the world." Zhong Qi turned over in the bathtub, put his arms on the edge of the bathtub, stared straight at Bai Cheng and said, "Hey brother, how old are you? What do you do?"

Bai Cheng was fiddling with the cell phone he found in his coat pocket, chatting with him without looking up, "26, do jewelry appraisal, how about you?"

"College student, jobless, 21 this year." He saw the bright screen of Bai Cheng's phone from a distance, "Your phone still has power?"

"Well, the battery of my mobile phone is relatively durable."

"Oh—I'm out of battery."

He had only played a few games before entering the dungeon, and the battery was only 16% left, so he stopped cooking after a while.Look at Bai Cheng, there is still 70% of the battery, which is enough for him for the time being.

Bai Cheng turned on the camera and randomly searched for several angles to shoot. The camera just happened to turn to Zhong Qi, and saw the young man soaked in the bucket tilt his head sideways, and gave him a young man's wanton and hearty wink.

".."

Bai Cheng really felt that this kid had a big heart.

"Get up quickly, it's easy to catch cold when the water gets cold."

"Order."

There was only a mattress on the bed, and just as Bai Cheng turned his head to talk to Zhong Qi about covering it together, he saw the neatly dressed Zhong Qi casually putting his underwear on the side of the tub.

The zipper of the jeans was not finished, revealing a small piece of something that is not easy to describe.

Are children developing so well now?

Obviously, the direction of Bai Cheng's thinking is a bit off the theme of the picture.

Zhong Qi wiped his wet hair and muttered, "Let them wash it for me tomorrow."

This young master is really used to it..

Aren't you afraid of getting sick if you don't wear underwear?

It was cold at night, and the two of them didn't have any entertainment, so they both got into the mattress and lay down.

Bai Cheng just took some photos, and now he looks through them one by one.Zhong Qi was lying on his side with his head propped up next to him, saw the photo of himself lying on the bathtub, and said: "The photography skills are pretty good."

In fact, Bai Cheng's photography skills are similar to those of straight men circulating on the Internet, but this one is indeed not bad, Bai Cheng thought for a while, "The main reason is that the models are good-looking."

"Brother Cheng, do you have a girlfriend? Why do you feel that the words are full of desire to survive?"

"What desire to survive?" Bai Cheng flipped to the next photo and replied casually, "I don't have it now."

After looking at several photos in a row, Bai Cheng took pictures of almost every corner of the room, Zhong Qi followed him for a while, "Do you see anything?"

"No." Bai Cheng frowned slightly, "I just feel uncomfortable, but I can't tell you exactly."

Unable to think of a reason, he simply ignored it and said, "Go to sleep."

"It's only eight o'clock! Are you going to sleep now?"

"There are no entertainment activities to pass the time, and maybe people will get up early tomorrow, so let's rest first."

"Okay, good night."

Zhong Qi turned off the light and lay down again. The breathing of the people beside him became long, as if they had fallen asleep.

The biological clock was in trouble, and he was awake alone in the lonely night of everything, without any sleepiness.

After about a few minutes, the eyes gradually adapted to the darkness.

He tried calling the assessment instrument, but the other party hadn't made a sound since the dungeon was officially opened, and now there is no response.

Zhong Qi sorted out the known clues in his mind, but the information he got was too fragmented, and he couldn't form a complete main line for the time being.

It is difficult for anyone to fall asleep easily in an unfamiliar environment, especially this kind of place where danger is hidden everywhere.Zhong Qi glanced to the side while thinking, and then silently added a sentence in his heart, except Bai Cheng.

He always thought that his heart was big enough, but he didn't expect that there were people outside.

It was at this glance that Zhong Qi was startled that something was wrong with the people around him.

Bai Cheng's eyes were closed tightly, his brows were wrinkled, and his body was trembling unceasingly.He was breathing more and more quickly, but he couldn't move as if he was trapped.

"Brother Cheng? Brother Cheng, wake up."

Bai Cheng's expression became more and more painful, he clenched his molars tightly, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.Zhong Qi was afraid that he would bite his tongue, so he quickly stuffed a towel into Bai Cheng's mouth, and shook him vigorously: "Wake up!"

With one last effort, he pulled Bai Cheng up from the bed.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Just as he left the bed, Bai Cheng woke up, lying on the edge of the bed coughing violently, holding Zhong Qi's hand that was stretched out to help Shunqi with his backhand, "Let's go!"

He was panting heavily, and it was very difficult to breathe. He gently pushed Zhong Qi and said, "Go! Come! She's coming!"

Who is coming?

Zhong Qi didn't ask.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably only feel that Bai Cheng was haunted by nightmares and talking nonsense.But Zhong Qi could feel Bai Cheng's abnormality, and he also saw the clearly visible handprints on Bai Cheng's neck.

There is no such mark before going to bed.

An inexplicable chill slowly crawled up his back.The naturally keen intuition reminded him with a coolness that this place is not safe!

Zhong Qi helped Bai Cheng to leave without saying a word, and stopped when he reached the door.Bai Cheng's face was flushed with coughing, he covered his mouth and let out two coughs that he couldn't suppress, and looked at Zhong Qi full of puzzlement.

The latter quickly turned around and went to the beam and squatted down, posing as a ladder and said, "Climb up."

Bai Cheng chose to believe him.

In such a situation where the danger was approaching, the two young and strong men climbed the pillars at an unusually fast speed, and it took less than half a minute;

In less than a second after climbing up the beam, the curtain in front of the bed was blown by the wind from somewhere.As if to test Zhong Qi's sixth sense, a small silver dagger was slowly inserted through the crack of the door.

The door latch was easily thrown open, and a haggard hand protruded from outside, scattering a little ashes on the ground.

About 2 minutes later, the door was knocked open from the outside. Zhong Qi saw the person who knocked on the door clearly, and almost thought he was playing the secret room escape of the Republic of China supernatural version.

The person who hit the door was wearing a bright red wedding dress, with a red hijab covering his head, his neck bent at 180 degrees, and drooping on his shoulders.Zhong Qi guessed that her bones were broken, because when she was walking, her head was still rolling around on her shoulders like a ball on a rope.

Zhong Qi shrank inward, worried that the girl's tense head would accidentally roll towards him, and when the time came to make eye contact, the picture might be a bit awkward.

Combined with the dungeon name this time, the identity of this girl is the sub-question of Taoism.

The bride, whose head was bent 180 degrees, stumbled into the door, aiming towards the mattress.Her sharp nails tore the pillow that Bai Cheng had just been lying on, hysterical.

The ghost bride tore for a while before realizing something was wrong.She threw the broken pillow on the ground, turned around slowly, and scanned every corner of the room.

Zhong Qi heard her giggling, and she couldn't hear her repeating a sentence, "Kill you."

The ghost bride seemed sure that they were hiding in the house. She shook her head and turned over any small corner that might be hiding, accompanied by terrifying laughter, which made people's scalp tingle.

Zhong Qi was very glad that they didn't choose the bottom of the bed, otherwise he would stare at the ghost bride now, but she searched carefully, and it would be a matter of time before she was discovered.

Just as his head was spinning rapidly, he felt Bai Cheng's body stiffen.

He followed Bai Cheng's gaze, and met a pair of cloudy eyes.

Someone was lying outside the door, watching them.

Very familiar eyes, seen just an hour ago.

At this moment, the old housekeeper shrank back outside the door, raised his head and looked at them silently. His face wrinkled like dead tree bark was so terrifying that it was suffocating, scarier than the ghost bride who searched the house.

After a while, that face disappeared into the night, and that withered hand came in again, pinching a stick of incense that had already been lit.

No matter how stupid Zhong Qi was, he knew that this stinky old man was up to something. He frowned unhappily, thought for a moment, and motioned Bai Cheng to give him the watch.

Although he didn't understand what Zhong Qi was going to do, Bai Cheng took off his watch and handed it over.

Zhong Qi said, "I'll buy another one for you." Afterwards, the watch flew out in a perfect parabola, first it smashed the incense, and then rolled out a few small silver flowers on the ground.

The watch was made of solid quartz material, and the force and noise were not small.

There was a rushing sound outside the door, and the ghost bride was immediately attracted by the sound and chased her out.

Zhong Qi stretched out his hand and held Bai Cheng, who thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, into his arms, forcing him to swallow his cough again. Bai Chengyuan was very resistant to his arrogance, but when the ghost bride returned from the same way, his whole body panicked. There was a pause.

The ghost bride is still looking for them, and according to this posture, she will never give up if she can't find anyone.

Zhong Qi kept thinking and guessing, how to divert the opponent's attention, how to escape, how to counterattack when it was most beneficial to him, and whether the opponent could take physical attacks or not.

Fortunately, things didn't go in the worst direction, and he didn't need to fight with his life.

The ghost bride was attracted by something more attractive, she finally stopped searching the house, but turned around and stumbled out.

But this doesn't mean they can relax their vigilance, but Zhong Qi can't ignore Bai Cheng who is trembling in his arms.

He knew that Bai Cheng was not trembling because of fear, but was desperately trying to suppress the ferocious cough.It is estimated that someone strangled the neck of fate in the dream, and it will take some time to recover.

Zhong Qi helped him back, which was also effective. After a few minutes, Bai Cheng felt much more comfortable.

Because they were worried that the bride would come back and kill her carbine, the two of them didn't move, and kept quiet in a very tacit understanding.

High concentration is a very exhausting thing. Even if Zhong Qi is a master who can fight night battles without sleep for seven consecutive days, he will inevitably be exhausted.

It wasn't until dawn that the two of them were really relieved when they heard the crowing of the rooster.

This signal of "day is coming" is like a booster, which can give people enough sense of security.Zhong Qi moved his stiff body first, went down first to explore the way, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, Bai Cheng jumped down.

Both of them were very cold last night, and the first thing they did when they got down was to put on their coats.Zhong Qi went to the door to check, the ashes and burnt incense were enough to prove that the horror of last night was not a hallucination.

Picking up the incense, Zhong Qi broke off a piece and put it in his pocket, then turned around and asked Bai Cheng what happened in his dream yesterday.

"I was almost killed by the ghost bride." Bai Cheng swallowed his tea and said lightly.

The strangle marks on his neck still showed the bruise color that would appear only after being pinched vigorously. Presumably, the process of encountering the ghost bride yesterday was definitely not as easy as he showed now.

Getting the expected answer is not something to be happy about.As he guessed, Bai Cheng was attacked in his dream, which was somewhat similar to an American horror movie he had seen before.But the ghost in that horror movie would only stay in the dreamland and wait for the prey to fall asleep again, and after Bai Cheng came back from the dream world, the ghost bride's entity followed.
