Chapter 002: The Only One Who Takes a Fancy to You
Horror Travel System: Congratulations on receiving your first order and receiving a reward meet-and-greet. Accept your reward tonight at 12 p.m. in the bathroom with the lights off in front of the mirror, and don't forget to light a white candle on each side of the mirror so you don't miss the reward.
After making an appointment with the two customers to set off on the third day, Ling Tian turned on the system and was speechless for a while.
He has read a lot of novels, and he has seen a lot of various systems in them, but he didn't expect that his system is so special, and even receiving rewards seems ...... Very much in line with their name, horror.
There were no guests coming, and Ling Tian, who had been entangled all night, still came to the bathroom of the small shop on time.
At 11:59 a.m., there were only two candles in the bathroom with no lights on.
Ling Tian stood in front of the mirror, and in the candlelight, the self in the mirror looked a little dark and unreal. After looking at it for a long time, the strangeness became stronger and stronger, as if there was a person in the mirror who didn't know him at all.
At 12 o'clock, a cool breeze blew inexplicably in the closed bathroom, the humidity seemed to be heavier, and the nose faintly smelled a strange smell.
Before Ling Tian could tell the difference, the mirror rippled like the surface of the water, and the reflection in the mirror was cut apart by the ripples, and an unfamiliar face appeared in every fragment.
Old or young, male or female, the dim light is impossible to see, but it is even more eerie.
Even though Ling Tian had worked in the funeral parlor for several years, he still felt a chill in his back, and he couldn't wait to throw the system far away.
The ripples in the mirror gradually slowed down, the faces dissipated, and finally even the number could be clearly counted.
The last ripples dispersed, and the mirror regained its calm, but the only remaining reflection on the mirror was not Ling Tian, but a long-haired girl who looked like skin and bones with her head down.
There was a 'ding' sound, and the system changed again.
Horror Travel System: Of all the ghosts, she is the only one who has her eye on you, but she is still hesitating, after all, you don't seem that reliable, and you still need to work hard to get her help...... The first thing to do is to remember her name, He Yao.
After reading the message, Ling Tian pulled an ugly smile on his face, and the outstretched hand paused and then retracted.
"He Yao, hello."
He Yao in the mirror slowly raised her head, unlike her thin body, her face was very round, revealing the innocence of a girl next door, of course, her complexion was a little too pale.
He Yao didn't answer, and glanced at Ling Tian with big eyes.
The candle flame in the bathroom went out without warning, the lights turned on automatically, and there was no longer He Yao in the mirror.
'Ding'
Horror Travel System: He Yao initially accepted you, and she gave you her ballpoint pen as a token of love.
A token of love?
Ling Tian almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, how could he be convicted for some reason.
He was contemplating whether to resist when the system voice sounded again.
'Ding'
Terror Travel System: Congratulations on getting He Yao's ballpoint pen.
He Yao's ballpoint pen: This is her favorite pen, and she holds it tightly both before and after her death. A ballpoint pen that has been channeled will keep you away from taboos, so use it well.
Stay away from taboos and sound good.
Ling Tian picked up the ballpoint pen and was thinking about how to use it, the ballpoint pen trembled, and it automatically began to write in the void, and soon a black card appeared out of thin air and landed in front of him.
"At three o'clock in the morning, put a bowl of hot rice under the locust tree at the three-way intersection of Yin Lane, and light a fragrant incense on the rice. Close your eyes the moment the incense is burned, say a word of please, and tell the deceased you want to see, and when the bowl breaks, you will see what you want to see. Taboo: He doesn't want to be seen, remember, don't open your eyes until the bowl breaks. ”
"System, what does that mean?"
Ling Tian didn't quite understand.
'Ding'
Horror Tourism System: Only fear can make people awe.
Mission: Arrive at Yin Lane before 3 a.m. and complete the game.
Bonus: On
Note: As a travel agency owner, how can you not experience it first?
Experience? Damn, I don't want to experience it.
What is it to turn on, the system, do you dare to explain it.
Ling Tian couldn't help but complain, he knew in his heart that the system would not give useless rewards.
But the thought that I was going to experience it, my heart suddenly jumped.
Looking at the ballpoint pen in his hand, he said in his heart: "He Yao, can you protect me?" ”
The surroundings were still unusually quiet, and just when Ling Tian thought that He Yao had already left, a strong wind hung in the small space of the bathroom, and the lights began to flicker incessantly.
Then the wind suddenly stopped, and if it weren't for the swaying towels and the debris blowing to the ground, one would almost think it was just an illusion.
Ling Tian's heart was raised, he thought about the new task very clearly, He Yao's appearance proved that the dead were not only corpses left in this world, and if they wanted to better complete the task, He Yao's help was indispensable.
After waiting for about a minute, He Yao's figure flashed in the mirror, the ballpoint pen in his hand shook a few times, and a good word was written in the air, Ling Tian finally put his mind at ease and began to prepare to go to Yin Lane.
The information provided by the system has written that the game of Yin Lane is actually very simple, at three o'clock in the morning, put a bowl of hot rice under the locust tree at the three-way intersection of Yin Lane, and light an incense on the rice.
Close your eyes the moment the incense is burned, say a word of please eat, tell the other person you want to see the deceased, and only open your eyes when you hear the sound of the bowl breaking. The moment you open your eyes, you will see the person you want to see appear in front of you.
The biggest problem in the game was the rice, and Ling Tian had to cook a pot of rice and prepare a thermos box before setting off.
At three o'clock in the morning, the street lights have been turned off, and the old houses have an inexplicable sense of vicissitudes in the moonlight, and the heavy shadows seem to have something hidden in history.
When I arrived at the three-way intersection where the remains of paper money remained in the cracks of the stone slabs, this feeling was even more obvious, especially when I saw the locust tree.
In those photos of yellowed newspapers, Ling Tian also saw this locust tree, more than ten years have passed, the locust tree has become more dense, almost covering the entire intersection.
The moonlight could not penetrate the dense canopy, and walking under the locust tree was like entering another world, a gloomy world.
Seeing nothing, Ling Tian shuddered: "Damn, this place is not noisy... It's weird. ”
looked around and didn't find He Yao's figure, but he didn't worry, and glanced at the time to arrange everything according to the requirements of the game.
When the time came to three o'clock in the morning, I did not hesitate to light the incense on the rice.
To his surprise, the incense burned quickly, and in just a few minutes it had been extinguished, and in his surprise, he hurriedly closed his eyes.
"Please eat, I want to see..." I wanted to talk about the deceased elders, but when I was about to blurt out, Ling Tian's words changed: "I see He Yao." ”
