The next day.

"I'm full." Lu Jin said.

"Um."

Lin Huai stared at the apple in his hand, slightly absent-mindedly. Opposite him, a man with an ordinary face pushed away the plate and went downstairs after finishing his meal.

Lin Huai raised his eyes. His eyes were always fixed on the other person. Even Lu Jin noticed something strange: "Why...are you looking at him?"

"……nothing."

He tossed the apple and took a bite of it. While chewing the pulp, his mind kept replaying the scene he saw on the first floor last night.

Last night, in his dream, he heard the sound of the paper door being opened. After the ordinary man came downstairs, he followed him quietly.

The man sprinkled a paper bag of medicinal powder into the spring water. After that, he was dragged down by the female ghost who crawled out from the bottom of the well.

He thought the matter was over and planned to go upstairs to sleep. However, ten minutes later, the man climbed out of the well again!

He seemed to have no memory of being dragged down the well. After being confused for a while, he went upstairs.

The man's reaction today made Lin Huai feel even more weird. He seemed to have completely forgotten what happened last night, ate as usual, and went downstairs. The other people who were eating did not have any symptoms due to the influence of the well water.

Any unusual reaction similar to diarrhea.

"?" Lu Jin waved his hand, "Shall we go out to investigate?"

Until he walked out of the gate and entered Area D, Lin Huai was still thinking: "You said..."

"What?"

"If someone sprinkled laxative on your head, would you let him go?" Lin Huai asked seriously, "Oh, it's a head full of laxatives."

Lu Jin:......

Lu Jin obviously did not understand the intention of Lin Huai's question. Lin Huai knocked the wind chime with a bamboo pole.

"Ding dong - ding dong -"

The white door was opened, and Lu Jin let out a scream when he saw the woman in front of him.

Not seen for a day, the face of the woman in white, which was originally covered by the mask, has been exposed due to the fragmentation of the mask. What was exposed to the air was burnt, and there were even some

Maggots crawling on the skin!

The thick yellow liquid flowed down her cheek. The woman in white "looked" at the two people, seeming to ask them what their purpose was.

Lin Huai: "No, it's okay now."

With that said, he closed the door.

"Let's go," he said calmly, "let's go to the second house."

They rang the wind chime of the second house, and this time the woman in white appeared at the door, still wearing a 5/6 mask.

What is exposed to the air about this woman is her forehead. Under the sticky hair, the flowing brain flowers can be vaguely seen in the holes.

Lin Huai: "Thank you, it's okay."

Then came the third family. The wound of the woman from this family appeared on her cheek, and her entire right cheek was hollowed out.

Lin Huai repeated "Thank you, it's okay." and walked to the next house.

Then, the fourth house, the fifth house...

After walking through the twenty houses in Area D, it was already noon. The two of them had gone from initial fright to final numbness. Lu Jin was so exhausted in Area D that he could no longer move to Area D. He held on to the wall, crying.

Huahua said: "I'm so fucking remiss. Why are there so many dead ghosts in my district..."

Lin Huai frowned: "That's not right."

When the two returned to the Dahonglou, the second floor was already crowded with other panicked players. As soon as they stepped on the tatami, they heard the voice of a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks: "Fuck!! Do you know! When she was talking to me,

A maggot just fell from her head!!"

Lin Huai&Lu Jin:......

Seeing that the two people had finally arrived, the man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks smiled sinisterly at them: "Oh, you are very lucky. I didn't expect that six normal women are all within your area..."

Du Zhongshan saw Lu Jin's expression and said keenly: "There are no normal women in your area?"

Lu Jin shook his head.

The whole second floor suddenly fell silent. After a while, the man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks slammed the table and shouted: "Fuck, let's go upstairs and ask the witch clearly!"

He yelled and stepped on the stairs to the third floor with one foot, but kept the other foot firmly on the ground. Seeing that everyone was motionless and showed no intention of taking the lead, he could only sit back in frustration.

In situ.

"Pfft."

The ordinary man who had remained silent smiled nonchalantly.

"Are you laughing your ass off?" The man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks was furious.

"whee."

The ordinary man looked at him from the corner of his eyes, his sinister attitude angered the sharp-mouthed man, and the two started to fight, but the muscular man forced them apart.

"The system should not give us a dead end, so there is only one possibility..." Du Chongshan said, "Those terrifying appearances are all created by the system, the disguises of these women. These are disguises that only we players can see.

Otherwise, real human women would be stunned when they meet each other."

"Ah? Why?" Lu Jin was shocked, "Is it just to scare us?"

"To cover up their micro-expressions." Lin Huai said.

He tapped the table with his fingers: "As time goes by, the masks of these women will be further broken, and their faces will be exposed. Although the evil spirits have experienced hundreds of battles, their life experience and knowledge level

Still can't compare to you...us humans."

"Human consciousness is divided into subconscious and surface consciousness. Among them, surface consciousness only accounts for 10% of all consciousness. Our subconscious will process various micro-expressions seen by our eyes to judge whether the person is 'sincere' and

Or 'insincere'." Lin Huai continued,

"It's like, we often feel that a person is very 'fake'. This is the result of our subconscious processing their micro-expressions. The system gives all women scary appearances in order to frighten us and at the same time degrade us.

Ability to observe micro-expressions.”

The man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks deliberately said: "Do you have any evidence? Pretend to be powerful..."

"Well, let's ask a simple question." Lin Huaixu asked with eyes, "Is the fallen maggot happy?"

The man with the pointed mouth and monkey cheeks:......

"Judging from its length, its creeping angular velocity and angular acceleration, is it happy?" Lin Huai deliberately crossed his ten fingers and stretched them out in front of everyone, making a wriggling motion.

Lu Jin: "Area D."

Seeing that everyone was about to vomit, Lin Huai took back his fingers with a smile, feeling happy in his heart.

Du Zhongshan said "Oh": "This game is very similar to rowing."

"Yeah." Lin Huai shrugged, "It taught us not to judge people by their appearance."

During the entire conversation, the ordinary man sitting opposite Lin Huai always raised the corners of his mouth and stared at the young man talking with a strange smile. When Lin Huai glanced at him from the corner of his eyes, he even spat at him.

Sticking out his tongue, he smiled.

The bright red tip of the tongue was exposed outside the mouth, with tiny white spots on it. Lin Huai was staring at him and suddenly felt a chill.

He looked away and said to Lu Jin, "Let's go."

When he passed by an ordinary man, he seemed to smell a faint, strange fragrance coming from him.

Lu Jin and Lin Huai returned to Area D again. This time, they started from the first household.

Facing their visit, the woman from the first household was very reserved, while Lu Jin, sitting opposite her, was so reserved that she was about to cry. After thinking for a moment, Lin Huai looked at Lu Jin and said, "Are you coming?"

Lu Jin was dumbfounded: "What am I asking?"

"Ask whatever you want." Lin Huai tapped the table with her fingers, "Let's see her reaction."

"This..." Lu Jin cried sadly.

The woman came with tea. Lin Huai naturally took out his Baisuishan and gave Lu Jin a bottle of ice dew. After thinking for a moment, Lu Jin asked: "Do you like pink?

?”

"Do you like rabbits?"

"Do you like lace dresses?"

"Are you...are you human?"

While Lu Jin was chatting with the woman, Lin Huai was always paying attention to the woman's reaction.

However, the woman's reaction was too normal. Straight men like Lu Jin and gay men like Lin Huai didn't see any difference between her and ordinary women.

Even when Lu Jin asked her: "Will you bleed?" the wound on the woman's face burst instantly and she gave him a slap filled with pus.

By the time Lu Jin went out, he was almost out of his mind. He spent a full ten minutes rinsing his cheeks with ice dew.

Then came the second house, the third house... At the end of the day, they still found nothing about Area D.
To be continued...
