Chapter 157: Under the Bed

Through the cell phone, Jiang Luo and Lu Youyi's knocks gradually overlapped.

Lu Youyi gulped again, "Jiang Luo, what should I do, I should either call the police ......"

Although Jiang Luo felt that calling the police might not be useful, he still encouraged, "Try hitting one."

Lu Youyi turned off the video and went to make a phone call, half a minute later, he re-dialed Jiang Luo's video request with a blank expression, "Jiang Luo , the call to the police can't be answered!"

This was expected by Jiang Luo, who said, "Do you have anything in your house for defense?"

Lu Youyi hurriedly turned the room around, to his despair, there is no self-defense in this small hotel, the only thing that can be called a "weapon" is the clothes he just pulled out hair strands to support.

He walked back to the toilet with heavy steps, picked up the clothes holder, and was about to say something to Jiang Luo when Yu Guang glanced over and saw something squirming inside the sewer.

Fearfully and curiously, he peeked in, and gasped.

The human tissue that had been washed down the drain began to wriggle and crawl into the sewage.

Lu Youyi let out a "grass" sound, fled out of the bathroom in two or three steps, he slammed the door shut and cried, "Jiang Luo, did you see that?"

"I saw," Jiang Luo had a complicated expression, not knowing whether to pity him or gloat, "the meaning of that piece of paper on your nightstand, should mean that if you can't get through the sewer, the corpses in the sewer will turn into ghosts."

"Grass!" Lu Youyi spat, "Back and forth."

"You've been lucky," Jiang Luo pointed the camera around his house, "I've got one at my door, one under my bed, and one in the toilet."

Lu Youyi instantly felt comforted as he wore a sympathetic expression, suddenly feeling that his side wasn't so bad.

In the middle of the conversation, Jiang Luo glimpsed a dark shadow in the bathroom.

The black shadow slowly approached the frosted glass door from shallow to deep, and it reached out and scratched hard on the glass door, making a sharp, piercing sound like a cat or dog scratching at a door.

It was the ghostly figure in the mirror, which had stepped out of the mirror and was about to walk out the bathroom door.

At the same time, the long-necked ghost outside the door seemed to have sensed something as well, and the force of its knocking changed to a slamming of the door, getting faster and heavier, and the whole room seemed to be trembling along with the door.

Jiang Luo's cell phone vibrated a dozen times in a row.

Open the door!

[Open the door!

......

Ten minutes later, everything calmed down.

The door suddenly changed to another knocking sound and a man said, "Jiang Luo, I'm back."

It's his "husband" in his dreams.

Jiang Luo let out a mouthful of turbid breath, his forehead had already produced a thin layer of sweat. He wiped off the sweat on his forehead, straightened his hair, and walked to the door to look outside after there was no abnormality.

The man at the door came so close, so tall, that the cat's eye could only see him at the collar.

The "husband" outside the door knocked again and became louder, "Jiang Luo?"

Jiang Luo hesitated for a while, looked back at the time, it was already six o'clock. It's not a solution to stay in such a stalemate, he still opened the door.

The man outside had a slightly tired look on his face, holding Jiang Luo's hand as he walked towards the table, "I bought you spicy rabbit brains tonight, are you hungry now?"

Seeing Jiang Luo staring at his face all the time, Bai Yefeng turned back and touched his own face in surprise, "Honey, did I get something dirty on my face?"

Jiang Luo stared at him for a moment longer, pulling up her lips in an odd smile, "No, I just think you're very handsome today."

Bai Yefeng smiled, so happy that he squeezed Jiang Luo's hand again, "Honey, you're in a good mood today."

He moved closer to Jiang Luo and looked suggestively at Jiang Luo's lips, "So can you give me that one time today?"

Jiang Luo resisted the urge to swing his fist up and changed the topic, "I'm hungry."

Bai Yefeng heard this and rushed to the table to get busy.

Jiang Luo looked at his back critically, the moment he saw Bai Yefeng, he was reminded of Chi You. in reality Bai Yefeng was Chi You's puppet, was it the same in his dream?

But Bai Yefeng's behavior was too natural for him to be sure. But now was not the time to probe him, Jiang Luo took out his cell phone and realized that the video between him and Lu Youyi had been cut off ten minutes ago when the ghosts had fiercely stormed the room.

Jiang Luo was afraid that Lu Youyi was dealing with a ghost over there and didn't dare to interrupt him, so he sent him a message: [How are you doing?

Two minutes later, Lu Youyi replied to him: [I was hiding in the closet, and the couple outside the door just rushed in with an axe. I opened the bathroom door, and now the ghost in the bathroom is entangled with that couple.]

The next second, he sent it again: [Crap that ghost killed the middle-aged man].

[!

[That woman is dead too!

Lu Youyi shivered: [Jiang Luo, I'm finished, am I the next one to die?

Jiang Luo was about to type when two more messages came from the opposite side.

[Jiang Luo ......]

[I feel like she saw me ......]

Jiang Luo's fingers suddenly tightened, and he jerked his head up, only to realize that Bai Yefeng was standing right next to him, looking down at his cell phone for who knows how long.

Heart skipping a beat, Jiang Luo did his best to keep his face impassive as he said, "What's wrong?"

Bai Yefeng didn't seem to notice anything, he said heartily, "Wife, it's all my fault for letting you play with this kind of crappy cell phone, when I make a lot of money in the future, I'll definitely get you a new cell phone."

Jiang Luo was a bit anxious and stood up, "Let's talk about it later, I'll go out for a while."

Bai Yefeng said in surprise, "Wife, what are you going out to see, it's going to be dark outside, it's too dangerous!"

Jiang Luo had already reached the door and was about to open it when his cell phone vibrated again, Jiang Luo looked down and saw that Lu Youyi had given him a peace message.

[Scared me to death, Jiang Luo, I almost peed myself just now! Luckily, the ghost took one look at me and walked out, so I saved my life!

Jiang Luo couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief as he obediently let go of his grip on the door handle and returned to the dining table, saying with a smile on his face, "Alright, if you say you're not going out then you're not going out, I'll listen to you."

Bai Yefeng instantly smiled and looked at Jiang Luo with affection, "Wife, you're so nice."

Jiang Luo's expression twisted for a moment, and he began to doubt again, was this person really Chi You?

If it's really Chi You, his acting is improving too fast.

But Bai Yefeng's earlier comment about playing with his cell phone reminded him. He and Bai Yefeng, the eloping couple, were both men, so why was Bai Yefeng out working while he stayed at the hotel with nothing to do?

Jiang Luo testily said, "Ye Feng, it's too hard for you to go out and work alone, or else I'll go out and work together."

Bai Yefeng's face changed, he shook his head no without thinking, "No, it's too dangerous outside, you can't go out, just stay here and wait for me. When I earn enough money, I will take you to the capital, the capital is now the safest place in the country."

Jiang Luo Followed his words down, "But it's so dangerous outside, and I'm worried about you ah ...... Did you encounter anything dangerous today?"

Bai Yefeng sighed, chucking the rabbit brain into a bowl and drizzling some side dishes and hot sauce on it, the tiny things were like reddish brains under his chopsticks, "I haven't come across it, but a coworker of mine died in the bathroom. His head was shoved into the toilet, a hole was shaved in the back of his head and his brain flower was exposed, our boss sealed this bathroom, the boss said he hoped to seal the ghost."

Jiang Luo realized that Bai Yefeng's tone was calm, as if he had seen such a situation for a long time... so death and ghosts were common things in this dream world?

"Wife," Bai Yefeng picked up the tossed rabbit brain and handed it to him solicitously, "you eat first."

"Thank you," Jiang Luo took it in a bowl, gave the rabbit brain a slightly disgusted look and tried to put into words what had happened earlier, "But it's not safe here anymore either, Ye Feng, and it's dangerous for me to be here while you're out at work."

He put down the bowl, a look of fearful melancholy on his pretty face, like a fragile glass vase, heartbreaking, "Do you think I'll be dead by the time you come back one day?"

Bai Yefeng's emotions instantly flared, "Wife, don't say such things!"

He stood up and walked around the table, shaking his hands anxiously, "Is this hotel not safe either? No, wife, we'll move out tomorrow and find a new hotel!"

"But the money ......" Jiang Luo deliberately said.

Bai Yefeng said, "Money is not a problem! There are more and more ghosts in this area, it's going to be a new ghost domain soon! We still need to move to the city center, the more people there are in the city center, the less ghosts there will be, even if it's more expensive!"

Ghostland.

Jiang Luo made a note of the word.

After dinner, Bai Yefeng went to take a shower. Jiang Luo took out his cell phone and his own cell phone and realized that there was nothing on his cell phone, but Bai Yefeng's cell phone was a normal cell phone.

In addition to his cell phone, Bai Yefeng had a newspaper in his bag.

He took the newspaper out and took a look at it, and the headlines on it were either "Lianhu District Falls to the 13th Ghost Region in the Province" or "Must Memorize! 101 Ways to Save Your Life in the Event of a Ghost".

Lianhu District.

If memory serves, the name of this district is exactly one of the areas in the province where Birch University is located in reality.

Jiang Luo quickly skimmed through the newspaper, then took out Bai Yefeng's cell phone and started searching for the keywords "haunted area", "ghosts", "capital city", "safe place", and so on, "safe place".

After reading it, Jiang Luo returned to the home page with a gloomy expression and tapped the time on the screen.

[September 10, 202x]

Here it is five years later in reality.

Five years ago, ghostly activity began to appear all over the world. Especially in this country, all sorts of legendary ghosts and monsters have popped up, and evil spirits are rampant, but no one has the means to get rid of the ghosts. In this world, ghosts and humans coexisted side by side, and instead it was humans who needed to survive between the cracks. And there are humans who are even more terrifying than ghosts, who gradually lose their humanity and turn into ghosts in human skin, constantly brutalizing their compatriots, the old and the young.

This is Chi You's favorite, malicious and twisted paradise.

The safest place up and down the country was the capital city, but the safety of the capital city was only relative, there were ghosts infested there as well, it was just that there were a lot fewer of them because of the Dragon City suppressing them. But judging by the rate at which more than a hundred ghost domains had appeared in the country in five years, everywhere was on the verge of falling, and there was no such thing as a safe place at all.

Jiang Luo searched the "Heavenly Master's Mansion", the "Six Great Families" and the "Xuan Ling Joint Office", and these things that would not be searched by ordinary people in reality were also searched. However, the things searched out said that these organizations and families no longer existed.

The metaphysical world, destroyed.

Or maybe it's ruled by ghosts and goblins.

"Jingle bells."

Jiang Luo's own cell phone rang.

He took it and saw that it was really Lu Youyi, Lu Youyi whispered, "Jiang Luo, I just called you with a message and you didn't reply, so I called you because I was afraid that something had happened to you. Are you alright?"

"I'm fine," Jiang Luo said, "Where's the couple?"

Lu Youyi points the camera at the ground, "They're here."

On the floor, a middle-aged couple was lying in the sewage with blood all over their bodies and their eyes rolled up in white, Jiang Luo thought for a moment and said, "Drag them out, I'm afraid that they're not dead enough to turn into ghosts and come back to you."

Lu Youyi winced and gave him a thumbs up, "Makes sense."

Bai Yefeng in the bathroom suddenly said, "Honey, can you get me the bath towel?"

Jiang Luo's hand shook and his cell phone fell to the ground, his brows pressed together as he picked it up and handed Bai Yefeng over a bath towel. Bai Yefeng reached out his hand in the mist and smiled gently, "Thank you, wife."

Jiang Luo was so fleshed out that his face was expressionless.

When he came to the table again, Jiang Luo realized that Lu Youyi's expression on the screen had become very strange. Lu Youyi covered his mouth, his face was blue, and his pupils were wide open as if he had been shocked.

Jiang Luo felt something was wrong, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Jiang Luo," Lu Youyi said in a soft, trembling voice, "under your bed, there is a body of Bai Yefeng from Shanhai University."
