After three failed attempts on trying to wake Huang Lu up, Lin Huai gave up on his well-intended action.
Lin Huai dropped the trembling fake leather to the side, threw a campus card, and pinned the silk pajama that was trying to escape.
The pajama was pinned to the wall as it convulsed and vomited from eating something it shouldn’t have.
Watching a ghost vomit can be a really interesting experience. It’s a shame that Lin Huai wants to be a good man to the core. In the end, he decided to drag Huang Lu back to the girl’s dorm and thoughtfully closed the door.
Lin Huai closed the door after setting Huang Lu down, he then turned to look at the two broken items on the floor with a kind smile.
As the saying goes, it’s bad to stay up late, so it’s better to stay up all night. Lin Huai, who was woken up by the screams, decided to live a healthy life and stay up all night instead of going to bed late.
……And then go ask people from games what they care the most.
He carried the charred ghost in one hand and the pajama in the other as he walked down the stairs. At night, the villa was quiet, except for him, everyone else was sleeping.
The only person who was still awake dragged a box of c’estbon1Mineral water, then he tried his best to flatten the charred ghost on the coffee table, after that he opened a bottle of c’estbon and poured it on the ghost’s head.
He patiently poured one bottle and another bottle…… What a shame, the damage seems to irreversible.
“What’syourproblem?”2This sentence was in English in the raws so I’ll keep it as it is. Lin Huai poked the human skin ghost and asked. However, the latter decided to pretend to be a piece of charcoal and offered no response.
Lin Huai didn’t want to force him. After all, everyone was once the same kind. Since he couldn’t get an answer, he decided to let it play its final value. He handed the wet charcoal to Pajamas: “Do you still want to eat?”
The nightgown shrank back. Seeing that there was no use for the human-skinned ghost anymore, he picked it up and stuffed it out through the 20cmX50cm door crack.
The moment he was pushed out, the human-skin ghost seemed to let out an uncontrollable whine. Lin Huai wanted to drag it back but found that the black charcoal had disappeared into the void the moment it was thrown out.
“If you had cooperated earlier, you wouldn’t have been killed.” Lin Huai thought regretfully.
It was no fun to be alone downstairs. After learning the lesson yesterday, the ghosts who originally lived on the stairs hid in the basement and stood aside, Lin Huai decided to be polite and not disturb the ladies’ sleep.
Running into Huang Lu was purely an accident. Now that Huang Lu was unconscious, he thought about it and chose to follow his original plan and plug in the TV.
The TV was also pretending to be dead, so Lin Huai wiped his hands, sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and supported his chin with one hand to stare at the TV.
“Come out ba.” He said lazily, “Perhaps you want be to dragged out?”
The TV trembled and flickered a few times, then an old voice floated out: “I…”
“Your face.” Lin Huai said impatiently, “Have no one told you that it is rude not to look at the other person when speaking?”
“Alright……”
A hand tremblingly stretched out from the TV, and at the same time, there was an old man’s voice: “If you want my hand, just… take it?”
Lin Huai: ……
He suddenly seems to realize the reason why the female ghosts are watching.
“Am I such a pervert in your eyes?”
One misstep turned into eternal hatred, and Lin Huai had no choice but to reach in and grab the old man’s head from the TV.
The old man trembled and smiled, and then Lin Huai clapped his hands with satisfaction: “Now this is what you call obedient.”
“Don’t be nervous, I’m easy to talk to.” Lin Huai comforted him, “I haven’t killed ghosts for a long time.”
“……Just now……”
“It was an accident just now. It was the pajamas that made the first move. I am a pacifist.”
“But the courier’s hands yesterday…”
“That was also an accident.” Lin Huai said expressionlessly, “If he had been more obedient, it wouldn’t have been like this.”
Who would think that the person who said this is a real human? The old man complained in his heart, but he didn’t dare to show it on his face.
Even from a few meters away, he could smell the strong smell of blood on Lin Huai’s body. This is no longer the level of the red-clothed fierce ghost. Lin Huai’s level must be above them.
“This, I’m just a messenger and can’t make the decision. If you want to get out of here, you can only wait until three days later. However, I believe that with your ability, you will be able to leave from here as soon as the door opens. So. …”
“Please let go of my hand.” The old man sobbed.
“……I wasn’t going to ask you that.” Lin Huai said, “By the way, do you have money?”
“I……Huh?”
“Actually, I have never been satisfied with your guy’s game ever since the start.” Lin Huai counted, ” For some reason I was confined. For another reason, I was disturbed. For the third reason, I fell into a trap and almost lost my horse3 Revealed his identity. but……”
“That mall of yours is really great.” Lin Huai praised, “It’s really interesting to be able to buy such fun things without going out every day, and you can enjoy the screams of other players every day. So……”
“I’m starting to like your game.” He said with a smile, “I just don’t have enough money…you have the authority to give more money to me, right?”
Old man: ……
“I don’t have any.”
Lin Huai: ……
The old man was slapped in the face by the remote control. He looked sad and didn’t speak, and cried “Ying ying ying”.
What a disgusting sound… Lin Huai got goosebumps all over his body and threw the air conditioner remote control away.
The old man covered the other side of his face and continued to cry. Lin Huai picked up a bottle of mineral water, poured it down his head, and said expressionlessly: “Shut up.”
“……”
The old man covered his mouth with both of his hands and Lin Huai threw the bottle to the side: “Actually, you don’t have to be so nervous, I only have a question to ask……”
“Ha……What question?”
Lin Huai retracted the scissors from his hands and asked the last question:
“Is the ghost me?”
“hm…?”=
“I said, the one who called a ghost, is it me?’
“Of course, it’s not you! ”
“Really?”
“Really. To be honest, I thought you were a human being at first…” the old ghost said with a sad face, “Actually, that ghost is…”
“Sh.” Lin Huai gestured, “It will be no fun to reveal the answer now.”
“Ah?”
“You have to leave some room for someone to think.” Lin Huai smiled.
He saw the sky slowly brightening and unplugged the power plug: “Good night.”
A peaceful life returned to him again, since he no longer has to worry about being identified by players. Starting from today, he no longer has to worry about pretending to be a human being… With this thought in mind, he walked upstairs with brisk steps. The old man behind him was still shouting: “My head, my head hasn’t retracted yet…”
When Ye Xian opened his eyes again, it was already the next day.
Last night I slept very well ah…… He thought, and when he turned his head, he saw that his electric fan had been crushed into pieces, and its body and head were separated.
Just when he was holding the electric fan and was at a loss, his black-haired and dark-eyed roommate poked his head out of the bathroom and said, “Good morning.”
“My fan……”
“Oh, I accidentally broke it off when I passed by yesterday.” Lin Huai said nonchalantly, “I saw him looking for his head so I helped……”
“what do you mean ‘Looking for his head’??”
“It almost took your head.” Lin Huai pointed to the fan base, “Look carefully, this white base is made of bones.”
After hearing that, Ye Xian was so frightened that his hands shook and he almost threw the fan fragments to the ground. After a long while, he stood up, weakly leaned against the door, and said, “Brother Lin… don’t make such horrible jokes so early in the morning…”
Lin Huai did not defend his joke and went straight into the bathroom to deal with the dark circles under his eyes. Ye Xian was left alone staring at the fan in a daze.
…This base really looks more and more like it’s made of bones…
Ye Xian panicked for a moment. He shook and threw the fan fragments into the trash can. He turned around to face another roommate who had just woken up from his sleep.
“Don’t forget to sort the garbage.” Chu Tian seemed to be sleepy. He squatted on the ground and picked up a piece of debris to look at carefully, “Oh, it’s really made of bones.”
As he spoke, he very calmly picked up the bone fan from the trash can, put it into the bio-trash can, and then fell back on the bed.
Ye Xian: ……
…Then he heard a scream again.
Yeah, this is the usual rhythm of life in the infinite flow world. It starts with screams and ends with the discovery of death. Rather than the daily atmosphere of roommate of No. 1 brushing their teeth and washing their face in the bathroom, roommate No. 2 is sorting garbage…
Obviously, he should be afraid of this, but Ye Xian rarely sighed that “life is finally on the right track again.” If life is a train, then since he met Chu Tian and Lin Huai, his life has been continuously derailed… no, derailed.4The first one means a little bit of track while the second one means completely
Thinking like this, he rolled up his sleeves and planned to run towards the crime scene… no, the death scene. But Chu Tian had already passed him and rushed out with the plastic bag in his hand.
Ye Xian: ……
However, his other roommate Lin Huai, contrary to yesterday’s excitement, just stood in front of the mirror, applying new facial cream to his face in boredom. Ye Xian then leaned on the bathroom door and asked him: “It’s so gay for a grown man to have to take care of his skin… And why did you stay in the bathroom today instead of following him out to see him?”
“Young people like you don’t understand how precious a face with red blood is. Once the skin is dehydrated, it will be thrown outside the villa like a ball of coke and disappear without a trace…” Lin Huai said vaguely while wiping his face.
“I don’t know why I always think you have something to say…” Ye Xian complained.
“You go watch the excitement first, and I will follow later.” Lin Huai said nonchalantly, “We boys in red clothes all run very fast…”
“Red clothes?…” Ye Xianxu looked at Lin Huai’s clothes, “I confirm that I am not red-green blind, nor am I a white-eyed fruit fly…”
“Go and see for yourself.” Lin Huai hummed briskly, “I don’t have to do anything anymore…”
Ye Xian:?
This person is invincible in the sand. Ye Xian gave up the confrontation with his sand sculpture roommate, rolled up his sleeves alone, and ran to the next room.
When he arrived at the scene, Huang Lu had already regained her composure. She said: “Last night…last night…”
As she said that, she covered her forehead: “What happened last night? Yes! It was my bag. My bag turned into a ghost. It chased me. I fell downstairs, and then what happened? I can’t remember either…”
“It seems that someone helped me, who was it…”
Huang Lu searched for her memory in vain, but the figure of that person was nowhere to be found. Lin Huai also arrived belatedly at this moment, standing behind the door and looking at Huang Lu’s confused expression, he smiled.
Doing good deeds without leaving a name has always been his life creed. What’s more… he doesn’t want to lose his horse just yet.
“Bag? Sister Lu, aren’t the items you bought safe?” Ni Xiao asked eagerly after hearing the keyword.
“I also don’t know……”
“Let’s take a look at the purchase record.” Chu Tian stood aside and said, “Maybe the answer lies in… the descriptions.”

Girl were you not just screaming his name a while ago? :crying:
That sounds so wild out of context iykwim
Thank you for the chapter!!
Thanks for the chapter!!
Losing his horse in this context would mean losing his disguise and identity as a “human”. I see the phrase most often used for when someone gets their side Weibo accounts identified online. Maybe the lost horse here is Trojan Horse? I’m not sure how else horses would relate to hidden identities.
Oh, alrighty I’ll fix it straight away tyty
