Chapter 15 – Night of massacre

……That guy.

She swallowed her thoughts back into her stomach and turned her attention to Ye Xian and others.

As for the few people who bought the Fu bags, she didn’t even need to spend any energy on them.

Because in her opinion, these people had been misled and given up their only chance of survival, heading towards a path of certain death.

At 7:50 in the evening, everyone arrived at the entrance hall according to the rules.

“I just spent money on Fate/Grand Order (FGO) and then experienced a complete failure!!” Sha Mate said to Ye Xian, “According to the Law of Conservation of Luck, I should…”

Everyone was chattering, but Lin Huai didn’t care about that. He sat on the sofa, looking uninterested.

“What are you doing here?” Ni Xiao asked him.

“I’m thinking.”

“Thinking about what?”

“Troubled between whether to defend the legitimate work rights of former conspecifics or to defend one’s own sense of belonging to the species…”

Ni Xiao: ……

He couldn’t understand what Lin Huai was saying at all, so he carried the water to the other side. On the other end of the sofa, Chu Tian was wiping his wrench with toilet paper, his eyes wandering. Tang Wen sat next to him with half admiration and half flattery: “Brother Chu Tian.”

“Hm.”

“Brother Chutian, what are you doing here at the beginner level?”

Chu Tian didn’t even look at him: “Buddha said to not tell.”

Tang Wen was speechless for a second and asked him again: “Brother Chu Tian, why did you leave Chen Xing? According to your strength, if you stay in Chen Xing, you will definitely achieve great things……”

Chu Tian didn’t even look at him: “The three perspectives are inconsistent.”

“Three perspectives?”

“Life, value and logic.”

Tang Wen was once again speechless. Even though his hot face was pressed hard against the cold butt¹given a cold shoulder, he still wanted to continue asking. Chu Tian waved his hand again and said: “Actually, it’s four views that are inconsistent, and the fourth one is love.”

“Love?”

“Yes.” Chu Tian said, putting down the wrench and looking at him, “Actually, I…”

Tang Wen swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

“Am a die-hard gay who will do evil things to rich men, so you stay away from me.” Chu Tian raised the corners of his lips, “Otherwise you will understand.”

Tang Wen remembered the scene in the toilet: ……

Tang Wen left knowingly. Chu Tian settled himself comfortably on the sofa and played with his phone.

But his eyes stopped on the back of Lin Huai, who was yawning.

He tilted his head, his eyes deep as if he was thinking about something.

At that moment, there was a noise at the door.

Eleven packages were pushed into the villa in order. Everyone took their share, swallowed, and started drawing cards with trembling hands.

Ye Xian held his own package as he felt a headache coming. Lin Huai then came over and asked him: “You open it?”

“Are you scared……”

“Oh.” Lin Huai felt a little guilty, “Then give it to me and I will help you.”

With that said, he stretched out his hand to Ye Xian. Ye Xian stared at the long, white fingers with round nails for a long time and finally shook his head firmly.

“Forget it, it’s all my stuff…” After saying this, he made up his mind and began to tear the packaging with his fingers.

The more anxious he became, the harder it was to open it, so Lin Huai turned his hand away, letting his blood-red nails grow long, and when the other party went to get the scissors, he lightly scratched it.

“Hey…it opened.” Ye Xian, who was holding the scissors, didn’t think too much when he saw that the packaging bag was open.

He picked up the package, and a letter fell from the gap in the package.

……It was a pink letter. 

The handwriting on the letter was beautiful, it looked like the handwriting of an elegant girl. There were a few small words written on it.

“Come on a date with me tonight”

The letter was unsigned, and it was clearly a letter filled with pink bubbles, but Ye Xian felt chills running down his spine.

Dating… What date will you meet? ! I don’t want to date a scary female ghost at all ah!!!

He was roaring in his heart, but Chu Tian came over and said, “Oh, you received a love letter ah.”

“A love letter from a female ghost is nothing to be happy about!!”

Lin Huai: “It’s also a worry to receive too many love letters.”

“Stop speaking in Diao Chan’s tone!! It’s so unconventional!!”

Ye Xian was still complaining, but the others had already opened their Fu bags.

At first glance, there was no sense of inconsistency in the products received by everyone. Sha Mate held his basketball and cried bitterly: “Sure enough, buying a lucky bag is the right answer!”

Ni Xiao got a mirror, and Ye Keke got a pair of red high heels. Yu Fu got a keyboard, which looked like ordinary daily necessities.

“Is there any problem with the items in the lucky bag?” Huang Lu asked them.

The three men shook their heads.

Huang Lu confirmed again and again and finally felt relieved. Everyone went upstairs to sleep. Ye Xian took a look at the love letter in his hand and swallowed.

Just as he was about to go up, Chu Tian patted his shoulder: “This is for you.”

What he was holding was actually a courier packaging bag and inside, was a red seven-day no-questions-asked return card. Chu Tian held the packaging bag and stared at Ye Xian, with a rare smile on his face: “Maybe we will use it tonight.”

Ye Xian suddenly panicked: “What will it be used for?”

“If the person who comes is not a beautiful ghost lady but some kind of cross-dresser, maybe you can use the return card to return the goods.” Chu Tian said easily.

“…There is no such operation.”

Even though he was complaining, Ye Xian still accepted the return card and walked upstairs alone.

It was eleven thirty.

Now, only Lin Huai and Chu Tian were left in the living room.

The young man with messy hair sat on a chair and wiped the wrench in his hand with a tissue. He lowered his head, and the shadow fell on his face, making the bridge of his nose appear extra straight.

Lin Huai stood on the other side and looked at him with his hands behind his back. After noticing the sudden change in his temperament, he narrowed his eyes.

He approached step by step, his footsteps very soft. After he arrived at Chu Tian’s side, the other party did not raise his head.

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes: “Go to sleep.”

“Won’t you stay?”

The other party asked. Lin Huai smiled again: “But I’m not better than you, I’m just an ordinary guy.”

Only then did Chu Tian stop his movements and look at him with sharp eyes. Lin Huai narrowed his beautiful peach blossom eyes and looked at him with a budding smile.

It was Chu Tian who finally relaxed his eyes and returned to his lazy look. He waved his hand and said: “Okay, okay, then go up and sleep. Good night.”

“What about you?”

“Fighting the devils all night long.”

Lin Huai:……

Lin Huai walked up to the top of the stairs step by step, leaning on the handrail and looking down: “Didn’t you say you’re a materialist?”

The other party waved the wrench and said nonchalantly: “…Yes.”

“That’s why we need to physically destroy the opponent’s ghost head.”

They looked at each other across the long staircase. One person was sitting on a chair and another person was leaning on the railing.

It’s more like how they looked when they met on the first day, except that their positions have been switched.

Lin Huai supported the railing and stood up: “Then I wish you success.”

After saying that, he turned off the light in the stairwell and stepped into the darkness.

In the corner where the light cannot reach, his snow-white sleeves became gradually stained with a blood red color.
