I’m Actually a Bigshot

Chapter 52: "aftershock"

    He ate!

    He really ate!

    In the eyes of the four male testers, the little boy sitting opposite them held a knife and fork somewhat unskillfully, and then cut a small piece from the dish of unknown origin.

    The bright red sauce covered the meat with a thick layer. When the little boy's knife cut it... I don't know if it was because the sauce was too much or the meat was not cooked enough. In short, they saw that the cut piece of meat was still bloodshot!

    The little boy put the meat into his mouth and chewed it expressionlessly.

    At that moment, the four male testers couldn't help swallowing, not because of greed, but because it was hard to imagine what the meat tasted like.

    fishy?

    Astringent?

    Is it bad?

      Is the little brother who has always cared about him being daring or really ignorant?

    “Qing…Qinghang…”

    "..." Su Qingxing had to admit that he was indeed a little curious about the taste of Mu Rong—that is, the taste of the supper prepared by the hostess of the villa, so he simply tasted it.

    However, as an excellent guide to the underworld, Su Qingxing also knows very well that he cannot let the testers know the real taste of this plate of meat, nor can he show that he likes it very much. Should be on point.

    So facing several pairs of eyes staring straight at him, Su Qingxing did not continue to take a second bite, but put the knife and fork back where they were, and sat upright in the chair , looking at the other testers innocently.

    In order to confuse the testers' guesses, Su Qingxing clenched a small fist in his right hand, pursed his lips while covering his mouth, and then turned his head to look at the bear beside him.

    "That..." Zhong Tian seemed to be relieved when he saw that Su Qingxing stopped eating, and just wanted to say something, the old man Xuanyi who was sitting next to him touched him, He whispered to him in a low voice—

    "Forget it, don't let that kid know."

    Zhong Tian hurriedly nodded and said nothing more.

    After this period of adaptation, the emotions of the testers have stabilized, and Su Qingxing can clearly see the general character of each tester.

    For example, Zhong Tian, ​​looks like a relatively simple and honest middle-aged chubby, not very good at cooking, but not a bad person, you can see that he has expressed kindness to different people several times. Because Zhong Tian himself has poor eyesight, he could not see the appearance of the three family members in the villa, which just eased some of his fear of ghosts.

      the real thing.

    The bald brother never revealed his real name, but Su Qingxing could see that he should be a senior, so he has some experience in dealing with many things. But perhaps because of his own bad taste, the bald head has never told others about the "endless horror world" like other seniors.

    Of course... The so-called "senior" and "endless horror world" are just the names of those who can't leave, and it doesn't matter if others know it or not.

    Su Qingxing should be most interested in the yellow-haired tester named Huanglan.

    Ordinary testers will forget the memories related to their own death, and they will not remember them again due to certain opportunities after the trial is over. But looking at Huang Mao's behavior when he woke up, Su Qingxing believed that he should have the memory of when he was killed.

    Because of this, Huangmao's performance is more fearful than others. And compared to the magic stick who knows nothing, Huang Mao seems to be the human with a unique talent, because he seems to be able to sense the ghost itself, and even the imminent danger.

     

    As for Zhou Rui…

    Su Qingxing was halfway through the analysis when he saw Little Bear staring at the half of the chocolate cake that was pushed aside by Su Qingxing.

    "..." Su Qingxing felt that if he really ate this strawberry cake, he might spend the whole night under the bear's sad eyes.

    After thinking for a while, Su Qingxing put the cake lid on again, and tied the rope back to the original way, and then said to the little bear: "Put it up and eat it tomorrow, if you eat it at night, it will cause tooth decay. "

    Compared to the unscrupulous elders who spoil the bears in the ghost town and stuff the bears with sweets every day, Su Qingxing's discipline on the bears is obviously stricter.

    The little bear pouted, although he was very unhappy, he still sat there obediently and did not start with the remaining half of the cake.

    How dare you teach a female ghost? !

    The testers looked at Su Qingxing with astonishment on their faces, and they all felt that this child was really stupid and naive, everyone was already a ghost, how could they still worry about tooth decay?

    After everyone was silent for a while, I suddenly found that the scene was a little embarrassing. There were nine people sitting around this table, but no one or a ghost was eating, everyone was quiet Sitting there quietly, accompanied by three ghosts with blood on their bodies, doesn't seem like an environment suitable for dining.

    "Aren't you going to eat?"

    Maybe she felt that the atmosphere was too quiet, the hostess sitting on the other side suddenly turned her head ninety degrees and looked straight at the bald head sitting next to her, her red eyes were enough to make any tester feel Biting cold.

    "This is a late night snack for that." The bald head gritted his teeth, and without knowing how to answer the question, he pointed directly to the headless man of the villa on the other side of the dining table. , "The two of you eat first."

    The head that twisted ninety degrees did not turn back, but moved his eyes, and glanced down at the tomato meals on the table that were all burnt except for the salad tomatoes, so that The strange movement stayed for several minutes.

    Finally…

    “Buzz—”

      —

    "It's done, bear, take your guests back to the room."

    “Buzz—”

    The chandelier dimmed instantly, returning the testers in the hall to the familiar darkness.

    They know that when the hall lights up again, the villa owner and his family of three will disappear again until the next time the lights flash.

    But...

    What does it mean to finish eating!

    The bald head who invited the hostess and the hostess to have supper was instantly irritable, don't let them prepare supper if they can't eat it! If you don't like to eat, just say it! Is it really okay to just jump over so lightly? !

     

    Looking along Zhou Rui's line of sight, everyone found that not only the villa owner's family of three disappeared in this living room, but also the six plates of unknown meat, half a chocolate cake and... Su Qingxing, who had been sitting there quietly all along!

    The boy is gone!

    "The hostess said it just now?" Huang Mao suddenly looked in the direction of the second floor, "When you said that the little boy should treat her guests well, he should be talking about the boy, right?"

    "In other words, that ghost kid took Xiaoqing to..."

    Zhou Rui immediately got up from her seat and rushed to the stairs leading to the second floor. Zhou Rui had seen Su Qingxing chatting with the ghost baby who didn't show up before, so she knew which room the ghost baby was in.

    But when Zhou Rui was about to rush to the second floor, a terrible sound suddenly came from above the villa!

    "Ahhhh!"

    "Ahhhh!"

    "Kill you! Kill you!"

    It was a voice that the testers had never heard before, there were men and women, each voice was full of pain, despair and even hatred, but each voice was not for the testers contacted.

    Among the three ghosts in the villa, the male host can't speak, and they can almost distinguish the voice of the hostess and the ghost baby, so it is more certain that the voice from the upper floor of the villa is completely unfamiliar.

    "What's the matter? It seems to be coming from the ceiling." Zhong Tian pointed to the ceiling where the chandelier was located, "It should have come from there!"

    "There's..."

    Zhou Rui looked at the ceiling one floor higher than the corridor on the second floor, and guessed to herself, "Could it be the sound from the third floor?"

    "Is there a third floor in this villa?" Because I hadn't gone up to see it myself, the bald head asked a little surprised.

    "Yes, but I was taken aback by Qingxing and Guiwa, so I didn't go up." Zhou Rui couldn't help but took a step back, "If the ghost's room is on the second floor, then The rooms of the host and hostess should also be on the second floor. So, what is it that is screaming on the third floor now?"

    "If you guessed correctly, you may not be alive anymore." The old man Xuanyi stroked his beard, "It seems that this villa is really much more lively than expected."

    Although a special situation suddenly occurred, Zhou Rui tried her best to walk up the stairs after she was nervous, thinking of going to the second floor to rescue Su Qingxing!

    You can…

    When Zhou Rui walked halfway down the stairs, she suddenly seemed to bump into a wall that was completely invisible. Can't go any further!

    "Give it up, it's a haunted house anyway. Since that child has been taken away by them, I'm afraid it's already a lot of bad luck." The person sat down on the sofa and said to Zhou Rui as if watching a good show, "If the friends who are favored by the ghost baby will eventually disappear, then the next life will not be so stable."

    Unable to leave the villa.

    Unable to leave the lobby on the first floor.

    Faced with these two facts, all the testers immediately became depressed, Zhong Tian and the old man Xuanyi sat down on the sofa together, seemingly ready to spend the night in the hall on the first floor.

    Of course, they don't have any other options besides staying overnight on the first floor.

    "Sit down and rest." Brother Guang beckoned to Zhou Rui, who was still standing on the stairs, and Huang Mao, who was standing there, "We don't think we can do anything tonight, It's better to recharge your batteries and wait until dawn to find a way."

    "What will be done after dawn?" Huang Mao seemed to have just reacted, and his body finally moved.

    "Things like ghosts usually don't come out during the day, right?" Xuan Yi stroked his beard, "Although it's old..."

    "I know, I know." Brother Guang impatiently interrupted Xuan Yi's words, "I don't have time to listen to what you say to fool people. Anyway, there must be something for ghosts during the day. Influence, maybe we can get out of this villa by then."

                                  Or isn't it easy to kill ghosts?"

     

    There are three sofas in the hall, two double sofas facing each other, and a single sofa next to a coffee table with a plate of peaches. Maybe it's because I stayed in this villa for too long without eating, so the peaches on the coffee table have been shared by Brother Guang and the others.

    On the opposite side of the single sofa is a TV wall, which suddenly lit up before and broadcast a news about a serial killer for the testers.

    Now Brother Guang is sitting on the single sofa, and Zhongtian and Xuanyi are sitting on the sofa on the left, so only the double sofa on the right is still empty, it seems to be waiting for Huangmao and Xuanyi Zhou Rui sat down.

    If there is nowhere to go, Zhou Rui can only lie down on the sofa for a while.

    “Buzz—”

    “Buzz—”

    With no one responding, the chandelier on the ceiling dims and lights up, and then…

    Two more...ghosts on the empty sofa!

    The hostess of the villa is still wearing the blood-stained nightdress, the **** tears from the corners of her eyes and the blood-red eyes still make people feel a little timid, and it seems that the next second will be The sofa under him was dyed red.

    Although the male owner of the villa has no head, he still sits there, with his hands upright on his lap, looking like he is sitting upright.

    The TV on the TV wall also lights up at the same time the lights come on and the ghosts appear!

    Somewhat oddly, there is no picture or sound on the TV that lights up this time, only the full screen of snowflakes keeps flickering there, it seems that just staring at it for a longer time can make people dazzled Same.

    Of course the testers know this snowflake picture, and it only looks like this when the TV loses all signal. But who would care about the picture on the TV when they saw the villa owner who suddenly appeared?

    Xuanyi and Zhongtian, who were sitting on the two-seat sofa opposite, immediately began to tremble in their legs, not knowing whether they should run away quickly or continue to sit here.

    The villa owner who appeared on the sofa was just wearing that tragic death. The head of the hostess twisted her neck and looked at the TV while sitting, and from time to time made some scary words chuckle.

    Only snowflakes are flickering on the TV, what are these two ghosts laughing at?

    At the same time, the screams and curses from the ceiling also came intermittently, causing the hostess of the villa who was watching TV intently to look up instantly.

    The trialists also held their breath at this time, not knowing what would happen next.

    After a while, the hostess of the villa lowered her head, glanced at the surrounding testers with blood-red eyes, and said in a cold tone: "Do you know why you are staying here? ?"

    "Uh..." The testers present seemed not ready to communicate with the ghost.

    "The original servant died, so there are not enough people." The hostess said, pointing to the direction of the ceiling.

    It was such an understatement, but the testers who understood the meaning were still frightened. The hostess's words are actually very understandable. Because the servant is dead, the servant is needed in the villa.

    And where did the dead servant go?

    The answer can be drawn from the gesture of the hostess, which also allows the testers to know where the screams and curses come from, and what is hidden on the ceiling...

    Or the third floor of this villa, what is hidden...

    "Continue watching TV." The hostess of the villa smiled coldly again, "You won't see them in a short time."

    The trialists trembled again, and felt that the meaning of this female ghost was to say—

    As long as they continue to stay in this villa, one day they will have to face those guys trapped on the third floor!

    Get out!

    Be sure to escape!

     

    In the bear's room on the second floor, the style of painting has changed a lot. The lights in that room were on, but it was impossible to notice it from outside the room.

    Perhaps because the owner of the room is a little bear, so Zhu Sha, who has always loved bears, specially opened a back door and arranged the whole room into a pink princess room.

    Although there is only a bed, a cabinet and a set of sofas in the room, from the wallpaper to the rug to the curtains, it is full of the atmosphere of the pampered little princess.

     

    "Brother Qingxing, this is what Brother Zhusha asked me to bring to you." After satisfying his curiosity, Xiaoxiong obediently handed a brown bear's bag to Su Qingxing, " Isn't the bear very nice!"

    When the little bear asked for praise, his eyes were still secretly looking at the box of cakes that appeared on the sofa and coffee table.

    Unfortunately, Su Qingxing seemed to have completely failed to understand Little Bear's desire. After patting Little Bear's head, he took out a mobile phone and a wireless headset from the very cute looking bag.

    Before he came to this trial world, Zhu Sha said that he would upgrade Su Qingxing's mobile phone, but because the time was too late, he let Su Qingxing go to work first, and the upgraded mobile phone would Let the little bear who will enter the trial world later bring it over.

    Su Qingxing took the opportunity to enter the little bear's room, not really wanting to play with the little bear, but to deceive people.

    "Little Bear, stay in the room, brother has something to go out for." Su Qingxing put the wireless headset into his right ear, put the upgraded mobile phone in his pocket, and opened the little bear window of the room.

    Torrential rain and wind blowing in from the window sent the pink feathered curtains flying.

    "Brother Qingxing, and this!" Little Bear rummaged in the closet next to him for a long time, and finally took out a brown umbrella and handed it to Su Qingxing, "It's raining outside, Sister Mu Rong said. If it rains, you will catch a cold, and you won’t be able to eat cake for a long time!”

    "Thank you!" Su Qingxing's face burst into a smile, and then he was stunned the moment he opened the umbrella.

      !

    Little Su Qingxing, who was holding a little brown bear umbrella, just stood there and blinked, but it was a perfect match for this umbrella that looked full of childishness and cuteness.

    "Brother Qingxing, it's not tall enough to hold an umbrella in the house." Little Bear reminded him very seriously.

    "Cough cough." Su Qingxing coughed twice, and was about to walk towards the window with the umbrella in hand.

    After Su Qingxing turned around, the little bear tiptoed over to the box of chocolate cakes on the coffee table.

    "Don't eat sweets before going to bed!" Su Qingxing, who had tried his best to climb up the window with his short hands and short legs, immediately turned his head and glanced at the bear, "If you have tooth decay, you are not allowed to eat snacks for three months. !"

    "Woo..." Little Bear looked at Su Qingxing with a bitter expression. But even if he likes to eat it again, the little bear still takes back the hand of sin that he stretched out, and obediently raises his hand to Su Qingxing and promises, "The little bear will definitely not eat it!"

    Although the bear is a little naughty and always likes to secretly eat snacks, as long as the bear promises something...

    Just do it!

    Su Qingxing knew this before he left the world in the mirror.

    With the umbrella in his left hand and the window frame in his right, Su Qingxing's little figure jumped out without hesitation! After passing through the barrier of strong wind and heavy rain, Su Qingxing saw the lawn below the villa amid the din of wind and rain.

    In the dark night with no moonlight, seven or eight small blue light spots suddenly appeared around Su Qingxing, instantly slowing down Su Qingxing's whereabouts, and carrying the small The figure slowly fell to the ground, and the little shoes stepped out of the water, but Su Qingxing was unharmed under the protection of the light spot.

    No matter whether she becomes a child or not, Su Qingxing's physique will not change, and she will still run a kilometer slower than ordinary people. So the matter of jumping from the second floor can only be done safely with the help of strength.

    However, after landing, Su Qingxing converged the surrounding light spots, just like this holding the umbrella of the brown bear, and walked in a certain direction against the wind and rain.

    Su Qingxing also dialed Zhusha's phone.

    "Qingxing, it seems that things should be going well, have you gotten used to your new body?" Zhu Sha's spirited voice came from the other end of the phone, "When I thought that Qingxing was so cute when I was young, I want to take some more photos for collection. How about you take a few more photos of Qingxing?"

    "Speak serious things." Although he was holding an umbrella, Su Qingxing could still feel the rain hitting him, "Is what you said before true? The ghost in No. 665 ghost town is real Infiltrated the trial world of our ghost town?"

    "Yes." Cinnabar's voice also became serious, "Since the last turmoil in the underworld, the underworld is like the human world that has just experienced an earthquake. During this time, aftershocks have continued."

     "Since this time, the number of tiny gaps between the underworld and the human world has also increased. I heard that a certain number of stray people have appeared in various ghost towns."

    "I know this." Su Qingxing continued to look for the way to leave the villa while speaking into the headset, "I just met a human female, in her thirties, the trial is over. Afterwards, we have to send her back to the original world."

    "This is just one of the aftershocks." Cinnabar's voice came from the other end of the phone, "There are also some gaps between the neighboring ghost towns, although our ghost town 666 is notoriously pacifist But other ghost towns are not good things.”

    "No. 665 ghost town is notoriously aggressive. After getting tired of playing in his ghost town, he came to the trial world of our ghost town through the cracks generated by aftershocks. Oops."

    "The world you are in now Qingxing is the place where the latest gap was created, so it is very likely that there will be ghosts in Ghost Town No. 665."

    "The other party is likely to have obtained the information of our guide to the underworld, but they will definitely not think that our guide to the underworld will appear in the form of a child, hahahaha! Please call me It's the perfect cinnabar-sama!"

     "Yes, as expected of an unmissable Lord Cinnabar!" Su Qingxing complimented Cinna very cooperatively.

    "But..." Su Qingxing turned to ask, "If you find it, can't you just solve it directly? Why do you have to go around the corner?"

    "..." The other end of the phone was silent for a while, and after a long time, Zhu Sha's voice came, "Qingxing, don't think about it! The other party is a ghost who has a registered permanent residence in another ghost town, so even if It's impossible for you to drag them to hell. If you want to get rid of them, you can only..."

    "Only what?"

    "You can only solve it with your own force!" Zhu Sha's voice sounded a little headache, "I know Qingxing you are very powerful, but in front of the ghosts of other ghost towns, you lose the ability to lead the way. The lantern goblins are very dangerous!"

    "Ah..." Only then did Su Qingxing remember that Zhu Sha still thought he was really a "lantern kid".

      Very dangerous!" Zhu Sha continued to worry for Su Qingxing there.

    This made Su Qingxing a little embarrassed.

    Although the "lantern kid" family is qualified to be the guide of the underworld, their combat power is very weak. Therefore, in Zhu Sha's view, Su Qingxing's strongest trump card is his identity as a guide in the underworld and the trick of dragging ghosts into hell.

    The current opponent is a ghost from Ghost Town No. 665, so Su Qingxing has no right to drag them into hell, and in Zhu Sha's view, he has no strongest trump card.

    "So don't deal with those guys just because of impulsiveness. If something happens, you must seek foreign aid from the ghost town, do you know!" Zhu Sha continued to exhort seriously.

    "Don't worry, everything will be fine." Su Qingxing touched his nose, thinking that after returning home this time, it is best to find a chance to explain to Zhu Sha.

    But the rigor of cinnabar is absolutely correct.

    The ghosts from Ghost Town No. 665 are simply uncontrollable enemies. Those aggressive ghosts will turn this trial world into a hunting ground where you can hunt prey at will!

    The hunted prey are not only the ghost town residents who work in the trial world like Mu Rong, but also the trial people who are struggling in the trial!

    "Actually, this world is really interesting." Zhu Sha boasted again.

    "If the ghosts of No. 665 ghost town really appear in the trial world on your side, then the villa that looks full of ghosts and is very scary can be regarded as the safest for the trialists The place."

    "The place where I desperately want to escape is actually the last refuge... Wait, I seem to have new inspiration!" Cinnabar's inspiration in building the world always seems to be there, Can't wait to hang up right away.

    "In short, the investigation is up to you, Qingxing!"

     "Don't worry, the testers will definitely reach the end of the level." Su Qingxing pressed the headset, hung up the phone, and then walked along the lawn of the villa. The gravel path, all the way around to the front of the villa.

    In order not to let the testers in the villa notice him, Su Qingxing went out little by little along the edge of the wall.

    All the way out of the villa, and after walking for a while, Su Qingxing stopped with confidence and turned to look at the villa in the stormy night.

    It is surrounded by mountains and forests, only a three-storey villa "stands" in the wind and rain, and sometimes reveals its true appearance in the thunder and lightning.

     

    There is a path going down in the mountains and forests, Su Qingxing just held up the brown bear umbrella and walked down step by step with his calves, for fear that if his feet slipped, he would turn into a tumbling little dumpling.

    The world built by cinnabar is very formal, but the disadvantage is that it is not large in scope.

    So even if you just walk around like Su Qingxing, you can quickly reach the edge of this trial world.

    The surrounding mountains and forests are very quiet, there is no strange place, and there are no strange people or ghosts, but Su Qingxing is still very serious observation, for fear of missing any suspicious clues.

    The five testers who stayed in the hall of the villa may not know that the world outside the villa is more dangerous than the inside of the villa.

    Just as Su Qingxing had guessed, not long after he walked, he saw a thick fog appearing ahead.

    In the time cinnabar built, these mists represented the edge of the world. Just like the trial world in the mirror, there is nothing outside the fog, but if a tester tries to enter the fog, they may see the illusion of monsters.

    This is also a safeguard.

    However, Su Qingxing has not found anything unusual after walking all the way for so long. Could it be that there was a mistake in Cinnabar's calculation? Didn't the ghosts of No. 665 ghost town appear in this trial world?

    At this moment, Su Qingxing, who was just about to turn around to check in the other direction, suddenly stopped.

    Because…

    His shoes seem to kick something?

    Su Qingxing stopped in place and looked down at the "thing" that was blocking his way, but he seemed to see only darkness, and could vaguely feel that the other party seemed to be a human figure.

    Is it the intruder of Ghost Town 665?

    Unable to see the other party, Su Qingxing could only take out his mobile phone from his pocket and turn on the flashlight function in the mobile phone. The lit light illuminated the area in front of Su Qingxing, and it also made Su Qingxing see clearly that a figure in black was lying at his feet.

    Looking very long, it should be a tall man standing up, now lying face down.

    Are you from Ghost Town 665?

    Su Qingxing squatted down and pushed the guy who was lying on the ground with his small hand, but the other party didn't respond. I don't know if he fainted or something else happened.

    "Are you okay?" Su Qingxing reached out and poked again.

    But there is still no response from the other party.

    Seeing that there were no ghosts around, and the guy lying in front of him didn't respond. After Su Qingxing sighed, he turned his right wrist, and there were several blue light spots in the night. Appears like a beautiful and incredible firefly.

    With the help of the few light spots, the figure lying on the ground moved lightly, and during the process of Su Qingxing's fingers drawing circles, it turned 180 degrees, revealing the Lying on his face with a little wet mud on his face.

    The light of the mobile phone illuminated the face of the man in black, and Su Qingxing's pupils shrank instantly, as if he never thought that he would meet this guy here!

    Even though there was some mud on that face, Su Qingxing still recognized that face!

    That face belongs to one of the highest layers of the underworld—His Royal Highness!

    "Why are you here?" Little Su Qingxing put her phone close to the face in the rain, stretched out her fingers and poked it hard.

    "It's cinnabar again?"

    "Or cosplay?"

    In any case, Su Qingxing felt that the death **** guy couldn't possibly appear in this trial world!

    "Help me..." At some point, the black figure floating with the help of the light spot regained consciousness, and even reached out to Su Qingxing weakly, "I need help."

    The other party's voice sounded weak, but it was indeed the voice of death in Su Qingxing's impression.

    After saying these six words, the man in black who looked and sounded very similar to the **** of death fainted again, leaving Su Qingxing, who was completely at a loss, standing in the rain, watching as he continued to be killed. The rain-drenched man in black was completely unable to determine the identity of the other party.

    Because it was late at night, the light was very dim.

    So Su Qingxing didn't see it. After the guy who looked like Death passed out, the hand hidden on the other side did not lose consciousness, but gave a thumbs up in his own direction.

    It seems to say-

    Nice job!
