Yes, this does have the same title as Chapter 18, and sorry for the late release…
The red-clothed ghost stood there, staring straight at Lin Huai’s direction wearing an expression reminiscent of a pregnant stray cat seeking help, with the charm of a caring female college student trying to attract a benevolent rescuer.
Lin Huai: ……
He has been in the world for hundreds of years, it has always been him scaring people but never him having to please someone. Now he looked at the red-clothed fierce ghost, showing an expression that shouldn’t belong to him. For the first time, I experienced the feeling of “Wanwan Lei Qing”1It’s from a TV series called “甄嬛传”, the emperor wrote a letter to the deceased Queen Chun Yuan, expressing his thoughts and love for Chun Yuan and mentioning Wan Wan Lei Qing. This means that Wan Wan was favored by the emperor because she resembled Chun Yuan, but she was actually regarded as Chun Yuan’s substitute. Later, Zhen Huan (Wan Wan) burst into tears after knowing that she was actually a substitute, and the famous line was born: “These years (love and time) have been wrongly given after all!” Source: Baidu that can only be felt by a scumbag who is looking for a substitute.
But when you smile, you don’t look like him2Look like the emperor who’s looking for a substitute . Chu Tian moved to stand in front of Lin Huai and , at the same time, blocking the ghost’s sight. He let out a cold “hum”, and dashed forward with a wrench in hand. The fierce ghost screamed and looked like it was about to cry. It turned around and tried to threw itself into Lin Huai’s arms.
Although Lin Huai is not human, he does not have the idiotic thoughts of seeking trouble. He took two steps back, and the ghost missed. Just as it was about to try again, it was hit hard at the waist and fell to the ground.
Fierce ghost: ……
The way it looked at Lin Huai seemed to be asking him, ‘Am I the one you love the most?’ Lin Huai didn’t didn’t say anything, he just covered his eyes with his cold hands.3Lmfao out of sight, out of mind
For a time, the scene inside was very inconsistent with Jinjiang4Jinjiang is a novel website that is really popular in mainland China, it apparently has a lot of books that matches the female psychology very well, it is also known for being really green……. Because it was too inconsistent with Jinjiang, Lin Huai couldn’t even describe what he saw. When he opened his eyes, the mosaic on the ground had been lifted up by Chu Tian and flushed down the toilet like the previous female ghost.
…… He looks really violent and angry…… Lin Huai silently hid to the side.
“Remember to be a good person in your next life.” Chu Tian said kindly, and pressed the flush button, “Also, don’t mess with people you shouldn’t mess with.”
When he turned back, except for Ye Xian, who was supporting the pale Lin Huai trying to comfort him, everyone else’s eyes were on him, either in fear, uneasiness, or panic.
Chu Tian comforted them with his powerful aura: “Don’t be afraid, that ghost won’t come back anymore.”
After some thought, he raised the wrench again, trying to persuade them: “We are very safe now.”
Everyone: ……
They looked as if Chu Tian was the source of all insecurity in this whole villa. After a long while, Huang Lu said hesitantly: “Thank…thank you?”
“You’re welcome.” Chu Tian smiled, looking especially brightly when he looked at Lin Huai, “Just trying to help everyone.”
All the disputes caused by ‘Heartbeat Memories’ have temporarily come to an end. There were still three hours before eight o’clock, but no one could fall asleep. All eleven people crowded into Chu Tian and Lin Huai’s room, eagerly waiting for Chu Tian to tell them a story about how to survive.
Chu Tian wanted to ask Lin Huai to assist in the speech, but the latter hugged himself and huddled in the corner, looking pale, so he had to perform a one-man show regretfully.
He picked up the black express delivery bag, pointed to the logistics information on it, and said: “In modern society, e-commerce has become an important part of the economy, and express delivery is one of the pillars on which e-commerce can develop rapidly…… During the consumption process, consumers should be alert to several major problems that often occur during shopping.”
“Firstly,” Chu Tian stretched out a finger, “it is online business fraud. Once online business fraud is verified, the person will be sentenced to a fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years depending on the amount……”
“Secondly,” Chu Tian counted by stretching out another finger, “Just because I didn’t read the product details carefully. I thought I bought a blood orange5Orange but with a reddish-colored flesh facial mask but was sent a box of blood oranges. I thought I bought 60 pieces of fake Mac lipstick and got 10% off, but was sent 10% off. In conclusion, it’s all because I don’t read the product details carefully…”
“Third,” Chu Tian had three fingers out, “is to buy a lucky bag. There is no free pie falling from the sky. In fact, most of the so-called lucky bags are a collection of various defective products with defects more than those created by freshmen. There are many bugs in the Solidworks model. It is better to expect pie from the sky than to expect that the boss, who gives you 996 every day will have a conscience attack and give you a promotion plus a four-letter salary increase…”
Ni Xiao: “It seems like some horrible stuff were mixed in ah!”
“As the saying goes, as long as you figure out the problem, you’ll reach the peak.” Chu Tian calmly exposed Ni Xiao’s complaints and looked at everyone with sharp eyes, “Having said that, do you all see the way to survive in this game and the key to solving the problem? ”
Like a physics teacher in an important lesson, he looked expectantly at the second-paper examinees across the country when faced with a super-outline question from Jiangsu Province.
No one answered.
He then turned his gaze to Ye Xian, just like a physics teacher turning to the physics class representative student who’s responsible for giving and receiving homework: “Ye Xian, what do you think?”
Ye Xian said: “I think…… I think it wants me to die.”
After he said this, everyone else couldn’t help but nod.
“Seven days, refund without reasons.” Chu Tian said, “The way to survive this game is to return goods within seven days. The game lasts for four days. During these four days, players purchase the goods and fight against the game. Then after receiving the ghost items, they quickly send the ghost items back to the place of delivery within seven days, refund without reason. The game only says that you need to buy it every day, but it does not say that returns are not allowed every day. Through the time lag tactic, buy items in large quantities until the money is used up, and quickly return the items, making the game end before the money has been returned to the player’s account. This is the safe way to get through the game.”
Everyone was stunned.
“This…” Tang Wen didn’t know how to answer, “This… is too much like child’s play…”
“Our survival, in their eyes, is just a game.” Chu Tian said easily, “Playing with the rules, defeating them, and surviving. Isn’t this the secret to our survival in the game?”
Facing the girl’s question, Chu Tian shrugged.
“I don’t know.” He said, “Maybe it’s something like a so-called ‘gods’ from another dimension.”
“They sit back and watch our struggles, release viruses called ghosts, and treat our survival as a game.” Chu Tian pointed to the sky, “It’s really annoying. But I don’t believe in any gods, I’m an atheist.”
Everyone was silent for a long time, but it was Ye Xian who finally spoke first. He opened his mouth and said: “The lucky bag…”
“Lucky bag?” Chu Tian smiled, “It’s a trap.”
“Why?”
“Because if you buy a lucky bag, you can’t return it within seven days without any reason.”
This is what is called a deeply buried trap.
“But.” Huang Lu questioned, “Aren’t you, Lin Huai and Zhang Lu the first batch to buy the lucky bags? Why are you okay, but the people who bought them after you guys……”
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Tian also scratched his head: “About this……”
“In fact, I do not know.”
Ye Keke spat out a mouthful of water, Chu Tian continued: “But now I think about it, I got a more reliable answer.”
Before he could finish, Ye Xian quickly complained: “Don’t tell us it’s because you are good-looking……”
“Without the beautiful buyer show of the first three buyers, how can we attract more idiots to come to buy?” Chu Tian said lightly and skillfully, “Throw down the bait, and then there will be blind fish to eat. This is the so-called equivalent exchange…no, a marketing tool.”
Everyone was silent again. After a while, Huang Lu spoke first: “Then let’s spend all the money tomorrow as Chu Tian said, and then ask for a refund.”
The sun has risen outside the villa, and the sunlight shines on Chu Tian through the curtains. He stared out the window for a while, then looked at his watch, and said, “Well, let me say a few last words.”
Huang Lu looked at him after hearing this: “What is it?”
“The ghost hidden among us is you.”
One stone set off a thousand waves. No one expected that Chu Tian would attack at this moment. There was a middle-aged woman sitting in the direction where his finger pointed.
The person with a swollen face and sallow complexion is none other than Peng Xuan.
Everyone was stunned, but right at this moment, all the lights in the villa were turned on. “Peng Xuan’s” face began to rot, with red and yellow pus and blood flowing down the wound on her forehead. It laughed, looked at Chu Tian, and said in a hoarse voice: “How did you find out?”
Everyone screamed and scrambled back, but Chu Tian and Lin Huai remained motionless. One was giving a speech, and the other was in a daze.
“Garbage.” Chu Tian said.
Being attacked by the ghostly body, “Peng Xuan” showed a vicious look on her face. Chu Tian said unhurriedly: “Because you collect garbage. However, there are also friendly aunts in the world who love cleanliness and are so enthusiastic that they are almost nosy. They will inquire about each other’s marital status and relationship status within a few days of moving. She will even steal the cardboard boxes and takeaways you put next to the door on the pretext of tidying up the corridors… However, in the game, the aunt who will actively collect garbage is indeed very suspicious. What you want to collect is not It’s garbage, but the Within seven days, refund without a reason form in the courier bag that has been forgotten by everyone.”
As he spoke, he took out an evidence bag: “The burned ashes inside are evidence. They come from Ye Xian’s fan and Huang Lu’s leather bag.”
“Peng Xuan” said: “You had your doubt in me just because of this??”
“In addition, there is Zhang Lu’s mobile phone. Atoms can neither be created nor disappear out of thin air, they can only be passed from one object to another. Zhang Lu’s mobile phone was taken away by Feng Yao, but it disappeared in the toilet, someone must have entered the scene while Zhang Lu was unconscious and took the phone away……”
“Peng Xuan” was silent for a while and said: “I didn’t do that……”
“Legacy for confession and severity for confession, you can remain silent but everything you say will be…”
“It was the Mirror Ghost who sent it back……”
“Don’t struggle before your death…”
“So your second reasoning is basically not valid……AH!!”
“Shut up.” Chu Tian coldly smashed the wrench on “Peng Xuan”‘s head and looked at everyone, “Do you agree with my reasonings?”
Everyone: ……
They nodded against their will, and Chu Tian smiled heartily: “The next step is the third point of reasoning, which is also a very important.”
“Yesterday at lunch, Peng Xuan ate a lot of soybeans and sweet potatoes, and drank a whole bottle of iced Coke after the meal.” He said, “After that, I observed it for a whole afternoon and night. It neither went to the toilet, there were also no farts or burps. Being able to hold back one’s own physiological reactions is not something humans should be able to do.”
“So Peng Xuan is a ghost. This is a confirmed fact.”
As the identification was successful, the sound of the door being opened was also heard from downstairs. The scenery outside the window also changed. It was dusk just like when everyone first entered the villa.
Time began to flow again, and Peng Xuan, who was hit on the head by a wrench, also disappeared into the thin air.
The ten people who survived, I look at you, you look at me, they all thought it was unbelievable.
It’s……over just like this?
It’s…… over in such a ridiculous way?
Just a scam ah!!
They turned their attention to the culprit, Chu Tian, who smiled lazily at everyone: “No need to thank me, just go home early.”
Everyone: ……
After thanking Chu Tian, everyone left the villa one by one. The last people to walk out of the villa were Chu Tian, Lin Huai, and Ye Xian. Ye Xian looked at the dusk outside the villa, expressed his gratitude to Chu Tian for the last time, and then left.
At the gate, only Chu Tian and Lin Huai were left.
Lin Huai squatted on the ground, his eyes empty. Chu Tian just thought he was frightened by the bloody scene, and knelt down to look at him: “Let’s go, the game is over……”
“It’s over……” Lin Huai murmured.
Chu Tian felt a little amused by the rare weak appearance of a person who was usually very tough. He rubbed the other person’s head, focusing on the hairline, and asked him, “What else?”
“…I…I still have more than a hundred yuan, which I haven’t spent all yet……”
Chu Tian found it funny: “It’s over now, don’t worry about those anymore.”
“The pajamas and T-shirts I bought… were also recycled by the game…”
“This is a happy event.”
Lin Huai looked like he had lost the whole world, and his usually dark eyes were rarely weak. Chu Tian squatted and looked at him, sighing: “I know you are sad.”
“Um.”
“It’s not a shame to like fictional characters and regard the characters in the game as your dream lover.6Sounds like me rn” Chu Tian said, “When I was a young boy, I also dreamed of marrying Saber7Someone from Fate/Stay night I think when I grew up and walking towards the peak of my life……”
“You…what did you say?”
Chu Tian looked at him as if he were looking at a middle school boy who refused to get out of his fantasy: “That man in costume is a character in the game, right? Do you like him very much?”
Lin Huai: ……
“At that time, the person that the ghost was looking at…” Chu Tian looked into his eyes, “It should be you ba?”
“How did you get to know him?” He said casually.
Lin Huai: ……
Lin Huai buried his head into his own arms and said dully: “Forget it, you wouldn’t understand even if I said it.”
Chu Tian said: “I will understand, my experience in this area is much richer than you……”
Lin Huai asked him: “Oh? What do you know?”
Chu Tian counted with his fingers: “Seven or eight, Qiyao Zhiyin, Wuhe Qinli, Fengsaka Dahe, Ayanami Rei, Su Mucheng, Lu Xueqi…”
They are all fictional characters and novel characters!! This guy is a deadbeat!
Lin Huai didn’t want to talk to him anymore. Chu Tian added: “It’s normal to have this kind of reaction for the first time. Once you get used to it, it will be fine.”
After that, he added: “Generally speaking, newcomers are under a lot of pressure. It’s already good for you to perform like this. After you go back to school, go to websites like xxxxhub to recuperate your body and mind more……”
Lin Huai: “What hub are you talking about?”
Chu Tian said: “Github, paradise for monks, suitable for cultivating one’s moral character, Amitabha.”
Lin Huai: ……8I understand you so much right now Lin Huai XD
