Chapter 074 1552 Haunted House (06)
The two monkeys discovered the peeping person and looked over here together. They were disturbed while eating and howled angrily. They pounced on Xie Xinglan. One of them jumped very high, shaking its limbs, and was about to climb onto Xie Xinglan's head like an octopus and tear off his skull. In a flash, Xie Xinglan swung the Evil Spirit Blade to block without hesitation. The monkey missed the attack and tried to bite his shoulder instead, but was stabbed by the dagger and fell to the ground with a scream.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the other one puffed out air from its nose and went forward to harass Xie Xinglan. After his companion got up again, he took advantage of his body shape and slipped under the bed with his companion.
Xie Xinglan held the Evil Spirit Blade tightly and squatted down to look under the bed. It was pitch black under the bed and there was no monkey at all.
This time Xie Xinglan was sure that it was not an illusion.
The spirit should be able to disappear and hide within a certain period of time.
There was a small white object in the middle of the bed with a little light coming through it.
Xie Xinglan frowned.
"Brother, that might be a tooth." Xie Chi said.
Xie Xinglan supported himself on the ground with one hand, reached out with his foot, and successfully kicked the thing out.
It was indeed a tooth. Xie Xinglan took a look and found that the tooth was white and beautiful, with blood on the tip. It was very similar to the one they had found before. It should be a human tooth.
Xie Xinglan: "Why are you here?"
There was no way the Fat Chef wouldn't be able to find it in such an obvious place.
" It probably fell from a monkey."
Xie Xinglan nodded. This was the only possibility. He picked it up quickly. He didn't care whether it was clean or not. He just put the tooth into his pocket.
Xie Xinglan turned around and found You Jing standing by the door.
Xie Xinglan frowned and said to Xie Chi, "When did he come? Why is there no movement at all?"
If there was any movement, there was no way he would not notice it.
"Props?" Xie Chi asked uncertainly.
As soon as You Jing heard the noise, he used teleportation to rush over, but he never expected that someone else would get there first.
You Jing walked over and took a look at the body of the famous actor. Disgust flashed across his eyes. He walked up to Xie Chi and asked, "What were you looking for under the bed just now?"
Xie Xinglan frowned and looked down at him: "Who are you?"
The relationship has already been torn apart, he has no time to play along with this group of people.
"You!" You Jing's face turned pale and blue.
Xie Xinglan glanced at him and left the room.
You Jing looked at Xie Xinglan's departing back, hatred flashing in his eyes.
Xie Xinglan ran into other actors including Zhao Jinhua at the door. He did not stay and called Lu Wen to go back to the room together.
Outside the room were the sounds of actors screaming and vomiting.
"Xiao Chi, You Jing may know that I found something." Xie Xinglan waited for Lu Wen to enter the room and closed the door, then said, "But it seems that they haven't found the tooth yet, otherwise he should know what it is."
Xie Chi hummed: "I'll come out."
Xie Xinglan agreed.
Lu Wen still remembered the disgusting scene just now and his face turned a little pale.
Xie Chi explained to him, and Lu Wen asked worriedly: "It's okay if we didn't eat it, but I remember that more than one actor ate the ice tofu, but the actor with the gray name just ate two more bites. Do you think the rest will be okay? Will there be problems with other dishes too..."
Xie Chi pushed up his glasses and said, "One of the currently known conditions for death is eating similar food. For example, if you eat monkey brains, the monkey will eat your brains. But this does not mean that you will definitely die if you eat it, or that you will not die if you don't eat it."
Lu Wen glanced at Xie Chi's pillow, his eyes lit up: "I see, I thought back to the dishes from last night, none of them could be related to rats, so we couldn't have eaten anything related to the dish Sanzhier, but rats still came to harass us. This is what you said, if you don't eat it, it doesn't mean nothing will happen. Of course, if you eat it, it doesn't mean anything will happen."
Xie Chi put on disposable gloves while saying, "It's more likely a problem of inclination. The monkey originally planned to kill someone tonight and eat his brain. Whoever eats the most monkey brain for dinner will have the most resentment towards that person, and will most likely go after that person tonight."
“I don’t know if there are any problems with the other dishes.”
Lu Wen nodded, and watched Xie Chi take out a tooth from his pocket. He was surprised and was about to speak, but Xie Chi glanced at him and said, "Use lip language to speak."
Lu Wen knew that walls have ears, and besides, everyone else was outside at the moment. He thanked Chi for being cautious, and asked, "Isn't that one with me?"
Xie Chi walked to the table and wrote another one on the paper.
"More than one?"
Xie Chi nodded and wrote: "I just found it."
"Can you put this one here with me, too?"
Just as Xie Chi was about to hand it over, he paused and wrote, "No, leave this one here."
"What's wrong?" Lu Wen didn't believe that Xie Chi didn't believe him.
"This one might have been exposed. It's not safe to put two together."
Lu Wen also understood that one should not put all eggs in one basket.
After Xie Chi finished writing, he thought about where to hide the tooth. Finally, he simply asked Xie Xinglan to come out, chiseled a small hole in the wall outside the window, and stuffed the tooth in.
This place is a visual blind spot, and you can only pick out the teeth by reaching out and touching the wall.
Xie Chi hid himself and was just about to wash his hands when there was a knock on the door.
Xie Chi and Lu Wen looked at each other, went to open the door, and Ren Ze was standing outside.
"What's up?"
For some reason, Ren Ze's cheeks turned a little red.
"Ren Ran?" Seeing this reaction, Xie Chi immediately thought of Ren Ran. He called out uncertainly and quietly took a step back, fearing that she would pounce on him and pull him to call her brother.
"I'm Ren Ze!" Ren Ze glared at him, furious.
"Then why are you blushing?"
Ren Ze suddenly became depressed. After holding it in for a long time, he stammered, "I am coming, I am coming..."
"What?" Xie Chi found it funny to see him squeezing toothpaste.
Ren Ze turned his face away: "I came here to say... thank you."
The word "thank you" was as soft as a mosquito's voice, and if Xie Chi hadn't had sharp ears, he wouldn't have heard it.
Xie Chi was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was referring to. He didn't expect this guy to be so awkward. He smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm taking care of your sister, not you. Don't feel any psychological pressure."
Xie Chi glanced at his watch and said, "It's still early. You should go back and get some sleep."
Just as he was about to close the door, Ren Ze squeezed in sideways. Without waiting for Xie Chi to ask, he snorted, "You also said it, she is she, I am me, you take care of her, but you indirectly help me, she is familiar with you and doesn't need to pay you back, I am not familiar with you, I don't want to owe you, so I will pay you back some information before leaving, and neither of us owes anyone anything."
Xie Chi glanced at him in surprise, thinking that this guy was quite interesting.
After a long time of beating around the bush, Lu Wen finally figured out how to get out of the tongue twister. He thought this was really awkward. He looked at Xie Chi and then at Ren Ze, and suddenly thought, these two people standing together would make four people.
Xie Chi made a gesture of invitation, closed the door, went to wash his hands and poured a cup of tea for Ren Ze.
Ren Ze took over: "I live alone, you know that, right?"
Lu Wen nodded, and Xie Chi looked at him.
Ren Ze's face darkened slightly: "I live alone, but when I was woken up by your noise, I found that my room had been turned upside down, but the door was locked."
"Is it very messy?" Xie Chi asked.
Ren Ze nodded: "Everything on the table has fallen over, the clothes in the closet are in a mess, and every drawer is open. The most terrifying thing is..."
Ren Ze paused, blushed again, and said expressionlessly: "The most terrifying thing is that I was touched all over my body."
Lu Wen's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief: "Are you still not awake?"
Ren Ze explained: "I have always been a light sleeper because I was afraid that Ren Ran would sneak out to play while I was asleep, but just now, I slept very deeply."
Xie Chi was silent for a moment: "If we rule out the possibility that you were drugged and there is a spare key in the house, then it can only be a ghost."
Ren Ze looked at him and said, "I think so too. The ghost has captured me and is rummaging around in my house."
Ren Ze frowned: "But I don't understand why it stopped me and didn't kill me, but rummaged through my things instead."
Xie Chi pushed up his glasses and said, "It's looking for something, very urgently."
Lu Wen glared silently. Ren Ze didn't know, but he and Xie Chi knew it. Teeth, the ghost is looking for teeth.
The teeth belong to a ghost? According to the information Zhao Jinhua obtained through spiritual communication, could it be that the female ghost was abused before she died and her teeth were pulled out, so she wanted to find the teeth after she died?
"As for not killing you, either you didn't trigger the death condition, or it doesn't have the ability to kill."
Ren Ze became a little clearer, stood up and said, "Then I'll go back."
Xie Chi went to see him off. Ren Ze felt a little comfortable with his gentle and thoughtful service. He stood at the door, hesitated for a few seconds, and looked back at him: "Why did you come to this place?"
Xie Chi smiled: "Why can't I come?"
"You shouldn't have come. You Jing's mother is very petty. I'm not as good as her son, so I can't hinder her son. Even if she doesn't like me, she won't do anything to me." Ren Ze felt very unhappy after saying this, but suppressed his emotions. "You are different. If there is a conflict of interest between you and her, she might take the opportunity..."
Xie Chi interrupted: "I'm already here."
"After all, you are just a newcomer. Potential does not equal strength. Potential plus time equals strength. Sometimes a good brain is useless. If your strength is not good enough, it means you are really not good enough. It will not be good for you to run into them at this time. I advise you to be timid. When you have the strength in the future, it will be a piece of cake to beat up a slut and a mama's boy."
Ren Ze had obviously also seen the quarrel between Xie Chi and You Jing before, so he spoke out to remind them.
"Zhao Jinhua is a coward, very mediocre, not as smart as you, but he got to this position by cowardice, how could he not have some trump card? Impossible, I think you know much more than me, the big bully the small is like this, society is full of such cases."
"Yeah." Xie Chi nodded very cooperatively.
Ren Ze knew that he just didn't listen, so he rolled his eyes at him, feeling that he was being a little too sentimental: "You're such a fucking weird person, it's up to you if you want to listen or not, but if you die, don't blame me for not reminding you."
"Thank you." Xie Chi just smiled.
Ren Ze snorted coldly and turned away.
…
Nothing happened overnight and the next day came.
According to the information provided by the APP, the free time during the day passes at 5.0 times the speed, so basically after more than two hours, they will enter the night again and have the next dinner.
The APP specifically states that their hunger levels continued to drop during this period, which means that even though only two hours had passed, they still felt hungry as if they had not eaten for more than ten hours.
The actors lost no time in searching the house.
The house is too big, and even if twelve actors search it, it is not easy to search it completely.
Xie Chi searched the room where the actor with a gray name died. The body of the actor with a gray name was just left there and it was not cleaned up. Indeed, no one would care about a cold body.
The fat chef happened to pass by and asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"
He followed Xie Chi's line of sight and looked inside the house. He said in a light tone, as if he didn't care: "So someone is dead."
Xie Chi stared at him closely. This was definitely not the reaction of a normal person.
The fat chef did not deal with the body. Instead, he said good afternoon to Xie Chi and walked away as if he had seen nothing.
On the other side, You Jing’s girlfriend Xia Yao stopped in front of a drum.
It was a Western-style drum, leaning against the utility room at the foot of the stairs. It was covered with a thick layer of dust and was quite inconspicuous.
"There is a corpse in here." Xia Yao sniffed the air and said with certainty.
This is Xia Yao's ability. In Xia Yao's last horror movie, the ghost had necrophilia and appeared wherever there was a corpse. She gained the ability of "corpse sense" in that horror movie. She can sense the presence of a corpse within a half-meter radius.
Half a meter radius, it sounds useless, but it is a good ability in ghost movies where the actors' range of movement is limited, especially in closed haunted house ghost movies. The smaller the range of movement, the more useful her ability is.
The corpse sense can help her find the corpse hidden in the haunted house as quickly as possible, but this ability can only be used once in a copy.
"The body of the abused female ghost should be in here, right?" You Jing said.
Xia Yao was a little proud. With the combination of corpse sense and psychic communication, one can find corpses and the other can communicate with ghosts. He is simply invincible in ghost movies. What's more, You Jing also has protective props. As long as they spend some time, they can crush the copy.
The drum was too big, and the two were a little worried.
"How about we wait for Auntie to come over and discuss what to do? Or we can take it back at night when no one is around?" Xia Yao said. Because of the comprehensive performance ranking, in most cases, if they can guarantee their own safety, talented actors are actually not willing to share cooperation with other actors.
Of course, they don't want to share such a crucial thing as the female ghost's corpse with others.
You Jing smiled: "No, we can just take it back to the room. Even if they see it, what can they do? Who dares to say no? Who dares to ask?"
Xia Yao felt that he was right.
"It's so heavy." Xia Yao lifted the drum.
You Jing also lifted it up. It was so heavy that he had a hard time lifting it. It didn't seem like the weight of a woman at all...
The two of them carried the drum into the room. You Jing sent a message to Zhao Jinhua on his cell phone, asking her to come back. Then he found tools from the side and pried open the drum with great effort.
Both of them widened their eyes.
The corpse in the drum is not a female ghost, but... a fat chef.
