Chapter 159: Peer Meeting

This time, without Jiang Luo's reminder, Lu Youyi didn't make a sound either.

They stood in front of the door for I don't know how long, until their legs were numb and their feet were cold and stiff from the sewage, before the two of them slowly retreated to the bed.

When they finally sat down on the soft mattress, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Youyi is a breath of relaxation, while Jiang Luo is a breath of relief.

In the darkness, the black-haired youth's eyes grew brighter.

He reached up and touched his chest, feeling the beating of his heart underneath him. "Flutter, flutter," each beat was exciting and powerful.

It's so exciting.

Without the threat of death, these successive waves of life-and-death crises simply brought Jiang Luo's emotions to a climax. He covered the corners of his mouth, which curled up uncontrollably in the darkness of the night, and his shoulders trembled gently.

Is this what Chi You calls a mad quest?

It's really crazy, with Chi You's personal touch.

I have to say, he's so good at throwing his weight around. Even though Jiang Luo wanted to punch him in the face, he was still fully engaged in the dream.

Jiang Luo's face turned a thin shade of red and then calmed down. He took out his cell phone and chatted with Lu Youyi online.

[Jiang Luo: Don't make a sound. There might be something else out there.]

Lu Youyi: This dream is too scary, my heart is beating in my throat!

Lu Youyi: But Jiang Luo, why is that ghost still calling you wife?

Jiang Luo: I don't know, the ghost is blind. Lu Youyi, why are you in the dream together?

Lu Youyi doesn't really know why they're dreaming together.

Someone must have tampered with this result. But before they fell into a coma, they were all in Lu Youyi's apartment. The door was locked, so there was no outside intrusion, and only insiders had the chance to make a move on them.

But who would tamper with it?

The whole apartment is full of people that Lu Youyi trusts.

The answer was right in front of Lu Youyi, but Lu Youyi didn't want to believe it.

His complexion dimmed and he reluctantly shook his head at Jiang Luo.

Deadbeat ...... is that you.

Jiang Luo didn't ask any more questions, [Let's go and find Sai Liaoer and the others when it's light out.

*

Bai Yefeng, who had wandered down from the third floor, returned to the second floor, where a dark figure stood in front of the door to 203, which asked him, "Gone?"

Bai Yefeng chortled, "You're scaring him."

"I scared him?" The dark figure took a step forward and the light from the hallway swept over him, revealing a handsome face, "Wasn't it you who scared him?"

Bai Yefeng also stepped into the light, he and Qin Fan stared at each other for a while, and suddenly they both covered their stomachs and bent over in muffled laughter.

Their movements were exactly the same, even so bizarre that their laughter overlapped, and to the ears of the uninformed, I'm afraid that they thought it was a single person making the laughter.

The loud, suppressed laughter gradually came to a halt, and the two men collected themselves in unison.

Bai Yefeng leaned against the wall, those foolish looks on his face disappeared as much as possible, he hooked his lips, bright and dark blocks of color hitched at the bridge of his nose, a sinister aura looming.

"He's intimidated by us," he trailed off as the corners of his mouth quirked up nastily, "and a look like that can be quite an accomplishment."

Humans subconsciously feel safer during the day than at night.

As soon as the day dawned, Jiang Luo was in high spirits, waiting for the clock to tick down to 7:30am.

As soon as 7:30 arrived, Jiang Luo heard the door slam downstairs.

Bai Yefeng went to work.

After waiting patiently for another half hour, Jiang Luo and Lu Youyi cautiously made their way to the second floor.

Jiang Luo opened the door of 203, and there was no one inside. He told Lu Youyi to wait at the door and went in alone to rummage through the boxes and found a lot of cash. In addition to the cash, he also found a black and gold card under Bai Yefeng's pillow.

The card is branded with five words, "Smooth Gym."

It's a body card.

Regardless of whether it was useful or not, Jiang Luo first took the card with him. When he didn't see anything else useful, he walked out the door and followed Lu Youyi out of the Happy Inn.

The owner of the Happy Inn was still sitting at the front desk on the first floor, and when he saw the two of them leave, his eyes were sinister, as if he couldn't wait to devour them in his stomach, and he stared at them dead in the face as they walked out of the inn, with a gaze that could have burned two large holes in their backs.

Lu Youyi couldn't help but shiver and left the place at a quick pace close to Jiang Luo.

The world outside the hotel is no different from real life. But the sparsely populated streets and corners were splattered with unspecified blood. The doors of some houses were wide open, and the emptiness from the doorway to the foyer made it clear that these people had been in a bad way, and their houses had become empty, abandoned in the open, but the people who came and went didn't see anything wrong with it.

The more they looked, the more frightened they became, and the more they thought about it. Jiang Luo and Lu Youyi took a cab on the side of the road and watched the driver for several minutes to make sure he was human before they got in.

The master driver asked, "Where to?"

Jiang Luo reported Sai Liaoer's address.

At this point in time, Sai Liaoer is the safest bet, and the people in their group have decided to meet up at Sai Liaoer's place this morning at Jiang Luo's suggestion.

The master driver took them toward their destination, glanced at them in the rearview mirror, and said, "You're not from around here, are you?"

Jiang Luo and Lu Youyi looked at each other in silence.

"Just look at you guys walking out of the Little Inn of Happiness," the master driver didn't care, picking up on his own words, "the locals wouldn't dare stay in this little inn."

Jiang Luo finally opened his mouth and asked, "What happened to this little hotel?"

The driver master looked at them twice more, and suddenly smiled grimly, "This inn, but several people have died, only outsiders who are not afraid of death dare to stay here."

Under the rearview mirror hung a blood-red Haruhi doll with no facial features swaying slightly, Lu Youyi pointed to the doll and asked in a whisper, "What's this one?"

The driver cherished touching the Haruhi doll, "It's a life preserver I found from the haunted building mansion."

A haunted mansion?

Jiang Luo tried to ask more questions, but the driver was so focused on driving that he stopped talking to them.

An hour later, they arrived at Sai Liaoer's place, the Splendid Hotel.

The Splendid Hotel was located in the center of the city, and the popularity of the hotel as people came and went washed away the eeriness of the atmosphere.

Sai Liaoer and the others were waiting for them downstairs, except for Jiang Luo and Lu Youyi, who had already arrived.

Sai Liaoer takes them back to the room, where the guys pour out their woes and start wondering again what the dream really means.

"I tried it yesterday when I woke up, and I could still feel the pain when I pinched myself, and the five senses were very real, and I'm afraid I wouldn't have noticed it was false if I hadn't been able to recognize it clearly as a dream, and I pinched myself several times, but found I couldn't wake up."

"And we can't even perform any of the things we've learned yet."

Zhuo Zhongqiu said, "I practiced dual cultivation of the soul and body, but it turned out to be no shit, and when I encountered a ghost, I could only hide, and I couldn't deal with it at all."

Ye Xun snapped, "Don't you guys think it's weird that we're in a dream together?"

All the other spitting stopped, and they looked at Ye Xun in silence.

This look was clearly noticed, but not spoken.

Wen Renlian spoke faintly, ''To be blunt, we all stayed in Lu Youyi's apartment last night. All of us are currently here, except for the dead ghost. He was the one who laid his hands on us and made us enter the same dream."

Lu Youyi was silent for a moment, "...... Why would he do that?"

The first time he was betrayed by someone, it was still his very trusted brother. Lu Youyi lowered his head and snapped his fingernails, his nose sour, "We trusted him so much, and it all turned out to be a lie? It's all because of me ...... If I hadn't brought him back to the apartment, this wouldn't have happened."

Kuang Zheng patted his shoulder reassuringly.

Lu Youyi fiercely clenched his fists with great force, he raised his head and regained his composure, his face full of anger replacing his sadness, "When I get out, I must ask him why he betrayed us!"

Aren't they good for deadbeats?

Only yesterday we played games together and cooked and ate together, and Lu Youyi has been with him for almost half of the winter vacation, Lu Youyi thought that he already knew the dead ghost very well, but now he is doubting himself again, have I ever really seen the dead ghost clearly?

Jiang Luo sighed silently, "Lu Youyi, did you know that dead ghosts have another name?"

The fire on Lu Youyi's face stalled and he hesitantly said, "Jiaojiao?"

"......" Jiang Luo said, "I'm talking about his name before he lost his memory."

Lu Youyi looked gloomy, "I know, his name is Teng Bi, that fox called him Teng Bi when we were underground in Deep Earth Village."

"That's right," Jiang Luo said, "After we succeeded in our mission in the entertainment industry a few months ago, he realized that he had regained his memory to become ' Teng Bi '. I thought he would leave, but he continued to stay with us by pretending he hadn't regained his memories for some reason, and I didn't tell you about it to see what he was trying to do, and I'm sorry about that."

Lu Youyi looked at him in shock.

Ye Xun silently raised his hand.

Lu Youyi turned his head again to look at him incredulously.

Ye Xun felt a bit guilty by the way he looked at him, "Jiang Luo told me about it, not telling you the truth was the result of a discussion between the two of us. Because you show whatever you think of on your face, and you're still easily going to get snookered, of course, I'm not saying you're stupid, but you're really not very smart either ......"

"If I tell you this secret, with your character, it will definitely be noticed by the dead ghost in less than a day," Ye Xun was a little weak from his look and hid behind Kuang Zheng's back, because of the nervousness in his heart, the speed of his speech became faster and faster, "In order to not be found out by the dead ghost, let's work together to Hid you ...... Sorry."

Lu Youyi stagnated for a moment before wiping his face and laughing, "It's fine, it's fine, isn't it just that I already knew that the dead ghost had recovered his memories? Hahaha it's okay it's okay, it's none of your business."

His smile gradually became twisted, his fists clenched, his eyes set fire, "All because of the dead ghost ...... No, he called pain paralyzed right? Pain you paralyzed pain paralysis, when I go back I will beat him to death!"

"And pretending to be a dead ghost to cheat food and shelter around me," Lu Youyi gritted his teeth, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, "I'm going to go back and ask him if he felt I was retarded when he played me!"

Lu Youyi in this state was not one to be messed with, Jiang Luo wisely bypassed this topic and asked Ge Zhu instead, "Ge Zhu, do you know of a temple called 'White Heron Temple'?"

"White Heron Temple?" Ge Zhu was visibly stunned, then asked curiously in return, "Where did you learn that name?"

Seeing that he knew, Jiang Luo was delighted, "Don't ask me where I know, where is this temple now? How come I've never heard of it?"

Ge Zhu said, "The White Heron Temple is the temple where I stayed before I broke away from Buddhism."

This time it was Jiang Luo's turn to freeze, "Wasn't the temple you stayed at before called 'Da Zhao Temple'?"

Dazhao Temple is one of the six great families, the representative of the Buddhist sect. Its disciples under the "Ge" as the head, so it is called by others as "Buddhist Ge family", this is Jiang Luo painstakingly remedial knowledge, he could not be wrong.

"It is now called the Da Zhao Temple," Ge Zhu patiently said, "I grew up living in the Buddhist sect and know many things that outsiders do not know; although the Da Zhao Temple is now called the Da Zhao Temple, two hundred years ago it used to be called the 'White Heron Temple '."
