Chapter 9 The Secret in the Storage Room
Rule C, Article 3.
【If there is a loud knock on the storage room door, don't open it. 】
At this time, the knocking on the storage room door became more and more intense.
It seems that there is something inside, and it is about to break through the door.
Zhou Bai took a step back.
Resisting his curiosity, he turned and walked back to the living room.
The black dog curled up into a ball.
Zhou Bai walked over, wrapped it with his own clothes, trying to use warmth to help it resist fear.
Then put it on the couch.
As soon as the black dog touched the sofa, it moved its body to Zhou Bai's side with great effort.
Leaning on him.
Makes a pitiful "hum" sound from time to time.
Zhou Bai was on the coffee table, took out a candy, unwrapped the candy wrapper, and handed it to the black dog.
The black dog stretched out his tongue and licked a few mouthfuls, then took the candy into his mouth.
At this moment, the mechanical voice of the system sounded in Zhou Bai's mind.
【Congratulations to the host, Dad's favorability +20,】
【Now you will increase the chance of labeling mistakes. 】
dad?
Although Zhou Bai already had a guess in his mind.
However, when he really got the exact answer from the system, his heart still stirred up a storm.
The black dog in front of him is actually his father.
Before Zhou Bai recovered from the news, he heard the mechanical voice of the system continue to sound in his mind.
【The third rule of C is wrong. 】
Zhou Bai had just passed a shock, and another shock hit him again.
Zhou Bai hurriedly looked in the direction of the storage room.
"Bang, bang, bang."
"Bang, bang, bang..."
In the storage room, there were knocks on the door, but it didn't stop.
Zhou Bai took a deep breath.
got up and walked to the door of the storage room, then put his hand on the doorknob.
The audience in the live broadcast room were once again frightened by Zhou Bai.
—"What is Zhou Bai doing?"
—"No way? He wants to open the locker door?"
—"Did he forget the rules?"
Zhou Bai turned the doorknob.
Unexpectedly, the door was not locked.
It was easily opened by him.
When he opened the door, the knocking from inside also stopped.
The surroundings returned to quiet.
Zhou Bai saw that there were not many things placed in the storage room.
on the contrary.
The entire storage room was empty.
The strange thing is that there is actually a refrigerator in the middle of the storage room.
And the refrigerator is still plugged in.
It looks very inconsistent with the surrounding environment.
Zhou Bai couldn't help but walked to the front of the refrigerator.
Reach out and open the refrigerator door.
just glanced at it.
"Snapped!"
He quickly closed the refrigerator door and closed it again.
Zhou Bai covered his mouth, trying hard not to spit it out.
"Hoo~"
At this moment, someone was standing behind Zhou Bai, clinging to him, and blowing softly into his ear.
Zhou Bai had goose bumps all over his body.
Turn around and take a step back.
Dad's wrinkled face appeared in front of him.
Zhou Bai stared at "it".
The surroundings were so quiet that Zhou Bai could even hear his own violent heartbeat.
Dad's face was smiling.
Towards Zhou Bai's direction, and moved a little closer.
"Om"!
The string in Zhou Bai's mind was tense.
He had a hunch.
The story line of this dungeon is right in front of my eyes.
The audience in the live broadcast room were all so nervous that they didn't dare to make a sound.
"When did I show my flaws?"
"The night before yesterday."
"oh?"
Papa's old and skinny face tilted his head, looking very puzzled.
On the first night when Zhou Bai entered the world of strange stories, "it" said to Zhou Bai.
"Come here, eat some fruit with your parents."
And what Mom said was, "Watch TV with me."
The difference between this is that Dad said "Mom and Dad", while Mom said "I".
After getting along with each other for the past two days, Zhou Bai observed that neither his wife nor his mother had directly communicated with his father.
That is, they probably won't see "it".
Zhou Bai guessed that it was the effect of the medicine they took.
And when "it" said this sentence the night before yesterday, it ignored this matter.
"Dad" was silent for a while, as if trying to understand something, suddenly "haha" laughed.
Next.
Father's face collapsed in front of Zhou Bai.
Instead, there was a delicate woman's face.
The woman's face is the same as the woman in the red dress outside the window every night, and also the same as the person in the refrigerator.
Zhou Bai's eyebrows were pounding, and he felt that the truth was about to come out.
Why is her body in the refrigerator?
Who killed her?
Why did she become "it"?
All the questions kept echoing in Zhou Bai's mind.
Just a little bit, just a little bit.
The story line of this dungeon can be pieced together.
It was surprisingly quiet all around.
Zhou Bai and the woman in the red dress, you looked at me, I looked at you, neither of them made a move.
Behind him is a corpse, and in front of him is a strange "it".
It is difficult for anyone to maintain complete composure in such a situation.
The audience were all infected by the tense atmosphere, and their hearts were lifted up.
The Chosen One pierced the disguise of "it", which is really too dangerous a thing.
No one is sure whether Zhou Bai will accidentally step into the trap of "it".
"Jingle Bell…"
A phone ringing broke the silence in the storage room.
The woman in the red dress stared at Zhou Bai's every move with her cold eyes.
The audience in the live broadcast room were also paying close attention to Zhou Bai's next move.
—"Why does the phone at this time have a midnight ringing feeling?"
—"I'm getting goosebumps all over my body."
—"Does the rule say anything about phone calls? Do you answer them or not?"
"Jingle Bell…"
The phone rings like a reminder.
Zhou Bai glanced at "it", and finally passed "it", and walked out of the storage room.
The red skirt followed Zhou Bai closely, and floated into the living room.
"It" sat on the sofa, resting its face in its hands, just watching Zhou Bai pick up the phone.
"Hi, hello. Who am I looking for?"
On the other end of the phone was a very professional female voice.
"Excuse me, is this Zhou Bai, Mr. Zhou?"
"Yes, it's me."
"This is the pharmaceutical company 'Good Effective'. Your wife, Yu Lili, works in our company."
Zhou Bai heard the name of his wife's company reported by the other party, and remembered the content of the rules.
Rule C, Article 2.
【If you receive a call from your wife’s company, ask which department it is from. If the other party answers that it is the R&D department, please hang up immediately. 】
He immediately became alert.
"Sorry to interrupt you first. Which department are you in the company?"
As soon as Zhou Bai finished his question, there was a "rustling" sound from the other end of the phone.
There are also a few harsh "beeps".
Zhou Bai thought that the phone signal was not good, and was about to hang up.
But soon these noises disappeared.
The professional female voice came again.
"I'm in the sales department."
