Salted Fish Zombie Chapter 6.1

When Su Xiangsheng woke up, the sun had already risen.

The bright sunlight shone in from the window, and the chirping of birds outside the window was crisp and sweet.

On the large window sill, the young man's body was half hidden in the white window screen, leaning forward against the sun to pick the lily flower that had grown to the window.

The thin white fingers were in bright contrast with the rich red petals. Raising his hand, the bones of his fingers revealed his clear veins, which had the color of oil painting and the beauty of ink painting.

Su Xiangsheng was in a trance for a moment. He forgot he was in a horrible dungeon where he might lose his life at any time, but instead, he thought he was in a beautiful resort.

He got up from the bed and saw that Ning Su had folded his quilt upright. “I slept so soundly last night. It was so quiet, it seems that nothing happened in the villa.”

He heard Ning Su saying a vague “huh”.

Su Xiangsheng walked to the window and saw Ning Su stuffing the lily petals into his mouth.

The lilies in this villa were all the same color as blood. Ning Su ate the flower with his long and black eyelashes hanging down. The thick red flower juice dyed his light-colored lips red, making his skin as white as snow.

This beautiful and weird scene made Su Xiangsheng's heart skip a beat, and he couldn't tell why exactly.

He stabilized his mind and asked: “Do you like this house because of these lilies? Why?”

“The place where I grew up has a lot of lilies, and lilies are also present during critical moments in my life.”

Su Xiangsheng nodded and saw a round bulge in the pocket of Ning Su's pajamas.

The enthusiastic and caring villagers not only cleaned the room for them but also prepared a change of pajamas for them.

The pajamas were almost exactly the same as the white T-shirt that Ning Su wore during the day, with a pocket on it.

Su Xiangsheng smiled and said, “You didn't even forget to put a candy in your pocket before you sleep.”

Ning Su blinked.

Su Xiangsheng walked towards the window, reaching out to pick lily flowers for Ning Su. When he saw his hand, he paused.

Ning Su followed and also looked at his hand.

On the bus, Su Xiangsheng patted him on the shoulder, and Su Xiangsheng's long nails impressed him very much.

At this time, all his long nails were chewed off.

Something gnawed it off, gnawed it crookedly, close to the flesh of the finger.

Ning Su immediately said: “I didn't gnaw it! I like claws without bones.”

Su Xiangsheng: “?”

Most people wouldn't say that, right? He didn't think that Ning Su was the one who did it at all.

Su Xiangsheng's face was solemn, “Of course it's not you. The nails and hair accumulate human yang energy, which is the favorite of some yin creatures.”

He slept soundly all night, thinking that nothing happened.

The thought of a ghost squatting next to his bed last night, eating his nails, made his skin crawl with fear.

“Ah” Ning Su was relieved, and he patted his pocket. “Don't worry, I will avenge you.”

Su Xiangsheng: “?”

He finally noticed something was wrong and asked him: “What happened last night? “

He asked Ning Su.

Ning Su answered seriously and told him about the kid. “He disappeared after being stepped on by me. He ate your nails, and I robbed him of his eyes.” Ning Su took out his eyes from his pocket. “This ghost is an idiot and a coward. He can even lose his eyeballs by running away in a panic.”     

Su Xiangsheng: “???”

Zhu Shuangshuang and Chen Qing came down from the third floor together. The girls' friendship developed quickly. After spending the night in the same room, the two got closer and went downstairs together, arm in arm.

They seemed in a good mood, probably because they discovered something.

Amidst the barking of dogs, Ning Su was sitting in the middle of the dining table having a good meal, while Su Xiangsheng was in a daze.

Zhu Shuangshuang sat beside him and asked him, “What's the matter?”

Su Xiangsheng pinched the bridge of his nose. “It's hard to say.” He turned to them and asked, “Did you find anything?”

Zhu Shuangshuang looked at Chen Qing, and when Chen Tian and the others arrived, Zhu Shuangshuang said, “We found a group photo in the room, and the owner of the room. It was the hostess of the villa, her name is Yin Daijun.”

Zhu Shuangshuang and Chen Qing were the only female players in this dungeon, and even the black robe didn't argue when they were given the best room, which was the master bedroom.

“Unfortunately, there are no other clues.”

Chen Tian drank a glass of water and said, “The villagers specifically told us that someone died in this villa, and then we found a clue about its hostess, Yin Daijun. Is it possible that she is the world master of this dungeon? “

“World master?” Su Xiangsheng asked in doubt.

“Or in this dungeon, specifically, the ghost master.” Chen Qing spoke to make them familiarize with game knowledge.

“There are two types of games in survival games, one of which can form a complete world by itself, especially a small and closed world like a village. This kind of dungeon world is generally controlled by a boss. The world rules and NPCs all revolve around them.”

“In small worlds with different backgrounds, the ones who control it are ghost masters, demon masters, etc., and are collectively referred to as world masters by players.”

“This type of game is more difficult, because many ghost masters have some evil tastes, but finding the ghost master in the decrypted dungeon is a key breakthrough.”

After entering the game and hearing the system introduction, the players speculated that this was a world with ghost masters, so their expressions were not very good.

Su Xiangsheng said: “A dungeon called “Ghost Animal”, the ghost master is a woman?"

They sighed. A day after, they only found some fragmented clues, which were essentially not that much.

Su Xiangsheng originally placed the breakthrough in the slaughterhouse, but now they discovered the named hostess in the haunted house, leading to another line.

The clues didn't connect at all.

While they were talking, the people from Yinhua's side came down from upstairs.

When they came down, everyone at the table was discussing, and only one teenager was eating without hesitation.

The thin monkey next to the black robe sneered.

The black robe stared at the young man and frowned, and he asked the thin monkey, “Do you think that young man named Ning Su looks familiar?”

“He's a novice. Did you see it wrong?”

“I don't think so. I felt this way yesterday as well.” The black robe said affirmatively, but for a moment, he couldn't figure out where this familiarity came from.

Seeing them, Chen Qing told them what they found in the master bedroom. After all, it was the black robe's acquiescence that let they could sleep in the master bedroom. The black robe must also know that the master bedroom should have more clues than other rooms.

While eating buns, the black robe listened to her talk. His eyes occasionally fell on Ning Su, frowning in thought.

The thin monkey saw he was looking at Ning Su all the time, and he was apprehensive. When he heard the dog barking outside, he said, annoyed: “Why is this dog barking all the time? I really want to kill it!”

The elder villager who came to the villa came again. “Have you eaten? Then I will take you to today's wedding.”

The others stood up, and the thin monkey said, “Something is wrong. Where is the fat man?”
