Lin Huai: ……

Chu Tian: ……

Everyone else: ……

The fierce wind blown by the pink ghost slammed against the door. Ye Xian’s miserable screams were heard from the room again. Ni Xiao, who had just woken up, grabbed Lin Huai’s clothes: “Is it really ok to not save him?”

“Mhm.”

“But……”

A high-pitched wail sounded from the room, Lin Huai pointed in that direction and said: “Do you hear that? Look at how happy he sounds ah.”

“More like a scream than a laugh……”

Ni Xiao gave up after seeing how Lin Huai had no intention of helping Ye Xian, so he turned to Chu Tian: “You……”

But Chu Tian had his head lowered and was crazily scribbling on a red piece of paper.

“You……What are you writing?”

He wrote down the last stroke and shook his head gracefully. His unruly hair fluttered onto Lin Huai’s face, and the latter’s smile became kinder.

“Wedding invitation.” Chu Tian said.

The shouts from inside the door gradually became weaker. Zhang Lu pursed her lips, but in the end she didn’t enter the room.

She is indeed not good at fighting, let alone fighting head-on. And she really had no reason to use her own life to save another person.

So ten matches were handed to Lin Huai, the only one who volunteered. Chu Tian patted him on the shoulder and said: “I didn’t expect that in the end we would be fighting side by side. Right newbies?”

He said the word ‘newbies’ meaningfully. Lin Huai pondered for a while whether he was talking about a new player or a new ‘person’¹The difference is that the first one means someone who just started playing that game and the second one means something that just recently became a human., and finally gave up trying to figure out what the other person was thinking.

He asked Chu Tian: “What do I need to do?”

Chu Tian asked him back: “Have you ever played Plants vs Zombies²A video game ? Then you will be like a pea shooter throwing the burning matches one by one.”

Chu Tian and Lin Huai lined up in front of the door. They pushed open the door with both hands. 

Seeing their appearance, Sha Mate, who had been resisting to fight just now, also felt a surge of courage in his heart. He swallowed and said, “I……is there anything I can do to help?”

Lin Huai looked back at him: “Yes.”

Shamat was ecstatic: “What!”

Lin Huai pointed to the wall: “Stand there and keep breathing.”

Sha Mate: ……

Many years later, when Sha Mate stood in front of the Lost Land, he would definitely think of that distant night when Lin Huai asked him to stand by the wall. Only then did he remember that when Lin Huai turned around, his neck did not move.

When the door was opened again, a huge inflation occurred inside. To put it simply, the human-shaped banknotes have become larger. It seemed to have absorbed the moisture in the air, and its pink meridians were squirming under the paper. Ye Xian was forced deep into the bathtub like Allen, holding a shower head and singing the national anthem in horror.

Apart from being severely frightened, he was fine. Across the pink human form, Chu Tian threw a piece of red paper towards him and shouted: “Catch it!”

The pieces of paper flew through the air, and the sharp arc brought out a gust of wind.

Then, due to the effect of fluid mechanics, it turned into a banana ball.

Lin Huai:……

He silently stretched out his finger and changed the direction of the wind. The pink humanoid turned around and looked at Lin Huai with wise eyes.

Its eyes seemed to say: “We are born from the same roots, so why rush it?” Lin Huai had no guilt at all and was as desperate as boiling beans and burning bean sprouts.

Ye Xian pounced to the left, grabbed the piece of paper in front of the pink figure, and shouted: “Got it!”

Chu Tian said: “Repeat after me!”

Ye Xian: “Ok!”

Chu Tian said: “The key that hides the power of darkness, show your true power in front of me…”

Ye Xian: “The key that hides the dark power, show your true power in front of me…Why don’t you say Balala power neh!”

“Seeing that you are so nervous, I wanted to relax you.”

“Relax your sister³It’s a insulting word…!”

“Listen up!” Chu Tian’s eyes flashed, “The next sentence is! Return the product within seven days without any reason!”

“Put the return form with your name on it over his head!”

Ye Xian had no doubt, so he grabbed the return paper and put it on the head of the pink humanoid. Chu Tian reached down, slid into the bathroom, turned to Lin Huai and shouted: “Fire!”

Ten matches scattered from Lin Huai’s hands like a goddess scattering flowers. Then, a little green flame burned in the night sky and shot towards the ghost in the bathroom. The pink ghost was half-kneeling on the ground after being hit by Chu Tian’s sliding shovel, and his head was burned by the green flames. However, he always adhered to the principle of ‘don’t lower your head or the crown will fall off’ and refused to lower his proud head.

Chu Tian shouted: “Yellow card warning!”

After saying that, he held a wrench and wanted to hit someone with the wrench. The ghost was hit by him and continued to roar.

The roar made everyone outside the door collapse to the ground. Perhaps knowing that death was not far away, the ghost burst out with a strong will to survive. It looked around and finally confirmed that the seemingly inconspicuous young man on the other side was actually the strongest person in the room.

After looking at Lin Huai behind Chu Tian, ​​it smiled ingratiatingly and changed its shape.

The black mist spread along the soles of the ghost’s feet. Before the mist could dispersed and the ghost could be seen clearly, Lin Huai looked at the familiar outline and his pupils shrank.

Red clothes, black hair, pale and gorgeous eyebrows, a tired expression that is thick and angry and has not faded over the years…

This person……

TL: Sorry for the late release… I had another test week and I also had to prepare for the lunar new year. (I was also not feeling well these days for some reasons…)
